JD Vance. “We are a diverse people, geographically, regionally, in terms of where we are in our backgrounds, and what the American people do want is that we have leaders who can build consensus, where we can figure out compromise and understand it's not a bad thing, as long as you don’t compromise your values.” Sponsor Message Harris says she wouldn't meet Putin without Zelenskyy On foreign policy, Harris said she would not meet unilaterally with President Vladimir Putin of Russia about ending the war in Ukraine, suggesting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would need to be involved. “If somebody breaks in my house, they’re getting shot.” She told Whitaker she owned a Glock and that she’d “had it for quite some time.” Asked if she had ever fired it, she said, “Yes, of course I have, at a shooting range.” Harris’ appearance was part of a long tradition of presidential candidates sitting for interviews with 60 Minutes going back to 1968.
