From the Daily Caller: White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told CNN host Brianna Keilar point-blank Tuesday that the network’s panicking over large government cuts is widely out of touch with the American people.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reported Monday that it has saved the federal government an estimated $55 million by cutting the sizes of federal agencies with the intent of eliminating the government’s wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars. During a CNN interview, Keilar attempted to frame the temporary firing of 300 probationary employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) as a “mistake,” leading to pushback from Miller.
“I wouldn’t use the term mistake. I would say that it’s pretty standard when you’re downsizing [the] government, you make cuts, you assess those cuts, you see who needs to be rehired and who needs to be kept, who needs to be reevaluated. These are all normal things. I understand that even a temporary interruption in federal employment is a great crisis and catastrophe for you and for CNN. What the American people see is a government that is finally delivering a promise of accountability under President Trump,” Miller said.
Miller explained over and over to Keilar how the government works, but she couldn’t seem to grasp it.
“DOGE, formerly U.S. Digital Services, is an agency in the federal government that reports to the Executive Office of the President, which reports to the President of the United States… Again, the President appoints advisors, including Elon and myself and all the other staff here at the White House and then those staff in turn execute the President’s commands,” he said.
Keilar also questioned why illegal aliens who are getting child tax credits should be prosecuted.
“Any time a crime is committed, of course there should be an investigation,” Miller retorted. “If IRS investigators find illegal aliens who are stealing taxpayer dollars, of course they will be referred to ICE… surely your position is not that we should let illegal aliens steal taxpayer dollars?” he asked incredulously.
“The millions of illegal aliens who have stolen social security… illegal aliens en masse have fake social security numbers, fake identities… those are felons. Why should there be an entire class in this country who are immunized from criminal prosecution and arrest for committing felonies? Felony theft of taxpayer information, felony theft of social security, felony theft of identities… yes, they will be prosecuted, yes they will be deported!” Miller declared, holding nothing back.

Stephen Miller’s CNN interview is pure comedy.
He patiently explains how government works—over and over—only for CNN to keep missing the point.
