Kara Swisher says what she says about Stephen Miller.
00:00:05.340
You know, I'm at the Pentagon yesterday in the Department of State.
00:00:08.360
We literally got back 3.30 this morning, just so everybody knows.
00:00:15.660
We came back here at 8 a.m. and we're doing a podcast here with you guys.
00:00:21.880
Yesterday I'm talking to a bunch of different guys.
00:00:23.540
And, you know, we're at the, what do you call it, Department of War and all these different places.
00:00:30.360
And we're talking to Hexed yesterday, Kristi Noem, did a podcast with Rand Paul.
00:00:35.240
Stephen Miller's name came up many, many times.
00:00:40.480
To me, Stephen Miller is, to give the analogy of basketball, I said, in basketball, everybody needs a Dennis Rodman.
00:00:55.840
He's the rage-baiting, you know, poking you, tapping you in the butt, irritating you.
00:01:14.600
He's talking to a professor and accidentally realizes he used to teach Stephen Miller.
00:01:21.400
Look at the response on what he says about Stephen Miller.
00:01:31.520
The Stephen Miller and the Trump administration?
00:01:33.820
Did you want to say a little bit more about that before we listen to this clip?
00:01:36.700
He said that, I asked him in 2003 what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he said, I want
00:01:43.580
And I said, oh, when do you want to achieve that?
00:01:49.080
Okay, well, who would be the president in 2003?
00:02:06.660
You could have told, I mean, I do a lot of homework here, Hein.
00:02:09.060
You could have told me this before the program.
00:02:19.200
See, this is the part that they don't want to talk about.
00:02:22.340
This guy, Stephen Miller, you know, they can say whatever they want to say about the Stephen Miller guy.
00:02:30.000
But that professor right there, you think they're probably on the same page politically?
00:02:34.800
You think that guy and the professor are on the same page politically?
00:02:39.000
Because that's what that podcast is about, is bringing this guy up as context of what the podcaster already believes.
00:02:46.280
Look, it's not about saying Stephen Miller is stupid or he's a genius.
00:02:54.120
The fact that he's a number two guy to Hitler type of a comparison.
00:03:03.760
It doesn't create any chance of better outcomes.
00:03:10.380
I think the only mistake with Miller, Miller is not a front guy.
00:03:13.700
But Miller's messaging, his demeanor, his style, I don't think helps the president.
00:03:21.600
Strategically, tactically, philosophically, if he's helpful to the president, that's the president's choice.
00:03:27.500
The only tweak I would do is, and now some on the left will criticize me and say, no, we need to hear him.
00:03:33.020
I think that one mistake that Trump has made thus far, except for Levitt, Levitt is a good communicator for him.
00:03:40.140
He is better than all of his guys at making the case for him.
00:03:46.200
Levitt is the best of his people, but Trump is so much better than all of his people.
00:03:50.800
And that wasn't always true for presidents, you know.
00:03:53.320
That what you see with ICE now and the realignment that probably is going to come to pass, that's Trump doing it.
00:04:01.780
He had to say, well, we're saying the wrong things, we're doing the wrong things.
00:04:05.280
He is not being well served by the people around him.
00:04:07.760
Stephen Miller, strategically, they are very happy with.
00:04:10.800
Bannon says the same thing, which is weird because they're not buddies.
00:04:13.780
But having him as a front person, I think, is complicated.
00:04:19.400
Because I first saw Stephen Miller, and I didn't realize I was seeing him.
00:04:25.820
He fearlessly stepped up to the microphone and said that the case against his fellow classmates on Duke Lacrosse,
00:04:34.380
But he stepped up to the microphone and made a very cogent legal analysis and sat there and said, this is wrong.
00:04:47.060
And that's where America met Stephen Miller, standing up for his classmates.
00:04:52.960
Do you know who blew that case wide open and proved that it was a false prosecution?
00:05:02.920
We proved that things didn't happen when they said.
00:05:06.780
And, of course, Crystal Mangum, who was the accuser, wound up admitting it.
00:05:11.180
The woman who was with her wound up admitting it long before.
00:05:14.540
It was a con, and it was done by a local prosecutor, in part,
00:05:19.160
who wanted to make a name for going after the rich kids and impress his working class community.
00:05:31.400
I wish he would come on, you know, to be tested and come on.
00:05:36.560
And that's unfortunate, because I want to give people an opportunity to make this.
00:05:42.120
You know who you should have on, though, is if he won't come on with,
00:05:45.300
you should have on his wife, Katie Miller, who has this massive podcast now,
00:05:58.060
But I'll tell you one thing about Stephen Miller.
00:06:05.760
But I do want to get back to Pat's point when he's talking about Kara Swisher.
00:06:12.300
Stephen Miller has arguably been the most loyal person since day one.
00:06:15.960
You know, the whole Trump was right about everything.
00:06:18.300
That is being, like, humanized in the human form with Stephen Miller.
00:06:24.120
PBD made the most important point about the, if you don't set the tone or set an example
00:06:30.420
with Don Lemon, oh, you have no idea the floodgates that will open in mosques, in churches, in temples.
00:06:37.660
By the way, good luck getting in synagogues these days because they've learned the hard way that you need to have
00:06:41.680
armed security guards and fences because people will go shoot up the joint.
00:06:45.080
The last thing we need are political agitators coming in front of churches and mosques and doing basically what Vinny's upset about.
00:06:55.560
What Kara Swisher said, last point, about how he's the Heinrich Hitler, the number two to Hitler, is so disgusting to me
00:07:06.100
It's inflammatory and bombastic, and it's just not even wrong.
00:07:09.680
I told the story about my friend's grandma who basically told the story.
00:07:18.560
She's the only person alive in her whole family, much less her town.
00:07:22.460
And we're talking about two people that got in the way of authorities.
00:07:31.540
There's a game coming up called Super Bowl, right?
00:07:34.320
And Seattle is going up against New England Patriots.
00:07:39.380
And it's so funny because we can go through a whole different conversation with New England, with Bill Belichick.
00:07:44.580
Maybe we'll do that all the way at the end because I'm sure we all have some opinions on Bill Belichick not making it into the Hall of Fame.
00:07:50.840
And Tom Brady said, if I have to come back and play with only one coach, I'm not picking anybody else but Bill Belichick.
00:07:57.160
And the guy didn't make it, and three other coaches were first ballot Hall of Famers, but this guy didn't.
00:08:01.480
But anyways, Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, while this is happening, you're watching it.
00:08:07.520
And if you believe the future looks bright, you may want to wear this gear that we're launching here today.
00:08:27.600
From the curve of the brim, to the weight of the fabric.
00:09:02.400
And by the way, Mano, right, they used to play for the Chiefs.
00:09:04.520
He's now here running VT Sports with Danny Cannell.
