Navarro Challenges CBS To Release His Full '60 Minutes' Interview
[Daily Caller/Boingo] Peter Navarro, White House Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy and newly appointed Defense Production Act coordinator, is urging CBS News to, "in the interest of full transparency," release his entire, unabridged interview with Bill Whitaker.
CBS News aired a brief portion of the 2-hour long conversation during Sunday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, but Navarro claims the final cut turned out to be "a purely politicized interview rather than one focused soberly on the single greatest existential threat America has faced since World War II."

The headlines coming out of the segment largely ignored the focus of Whitaker’s piece, the shortage of personal protective equipment for front line medical professionals.
What? 60 Minutes cut and pasted to suit their particular narrative? I'm shocked, I tell you!
"I had numerous conversations with the producer about how the virus originated in Wuhan and how, while China hid the lethality of the virus from the world, the Chinese Communist Party vacuumed up nearly all of the world's PPE, leaving health care workers defenseless from New York and Milan to Barcelona and London," the former economics professor continued. "That should have been the real story, Beijing's role in the deaths of Americans and victims around the world."
I welcome out new Chicom overlord masters!
"Mr. Whitaker broadly claimed intelligence reports anticipated the pandemic but when I pressed Whittaker repeatedly in the unaired full interview, he could not name the exact news stories or any of the individuals quoted by name in the stories," Navarro told Daily Caller. "It strains credulity that America's intelligence community would allow Chinese diplomats to come into the White House on January 15 if there were deep concerns within the IC prior to that date."
Doesn't strain my credulity.

#1 Didn't learn from Sara Palin. If they are going to film you, you film them too. If they refuse, you know the game they're playing.

#6 Even I had a minion videoing a backup copy when being interviewed. Came from a similar 20 minute TV interview they edited a 20 second clip out to use that totally out-of-contexted

#7 Perfect business for Project Veritas. You want a video interview with me? Fine. Have your people call my people and arrange something at PV Studios...

#8 What does it tell us about these "experienced, savvy experts" that they don't have the wit to create their own record of these interviews?

They're either stupid, or this is kayfabe , and Navarro actually wanted this to happen.
