Stephen Miller recently showcased his rhetorical skills on CNN, thoroughly outclassing a seemingly unprepared anchor, Brianna Keilar, during a segment focusing on the decentralized organization of DOGE. Miller appeared on CNN News Central to discuss DOGE’s recent initiatives aimed at reducing the size of the federal government, a move that has rankled corporate media ‘reporters’ and Democrats nationwide. Instead of seizing this golden opportunity to probe effectively into the nuts and bolts of this initiative, Keilar conducted herself childishly for the majority of the interview.
Keilar began by expressing gratitude: “Stephen, thank you so much for joining us,” before launching into a line of questioning that Miller effortlessly dismantled. Her initial inquiry, “Who is in charge of DOGE?” elicited a chuckle from Miller, who responded with the obvious answer: “Trump is in charge of DOGE. After all, he ordered its creation.” Despite this clear clarification, Keilar asked for further details as though Miller’s initial response was insufficient. “He’s the administrator of DOGE?” she queried, showcasing her lack of understanding.
Patiently, Miller delineated the operational structure of the initiative in simple terms, as if addressing a fifth-grader. Struggling to maintain his composure, Miller explained, “No, DOGE is what was formerly US digital services. It’s an agency in the federal government that reports to the Executive Office of the President, which reports to the President of the United States. A president wins an election and appoints staff…and those staff report to him.”
The CNN host then played a clip of Elon Musk at the White House, speaking on DOGE’s transparency, before posing yet another naïve question: “Does Elon Musk know he is not in charge of DOGE?” This prompted another explanation from Miller about the executive branch’s operations, but he was cut short by Keilar, who then demanded details on who was making staffing decisions at the Department of Energy. Miller calmly highlighted, “Energy Secretary Chris Wright, because that’s his department.”
In a desperate attempt to smear the Trump administration, Keilar tried to corner Miller into admitting a mistake. Unfazed, Miller responded with a counterblast: “I understand that even a temporary interruption in federal employment is a great crisis. A catastrophe for you and CNN.”
Miller then challenged Keilar with a pointed question about transparency: “Do you have any idea where the $22 billion the Health and Human Services provided to illegal aliens under Joe Biden is right now? That’s 22 billion with a B. That’s enough to provide a house to every homeless veteran in America. Where is it? You don’t know… Joe Biden just spent it and now it’s GONE.”
🚨 LMAO! Stephen Miller just ROASTED a CNN anchor
“I understand that even a temporary interruption in federal employment is a great crisis—a catastrophe for you and for CNN.”

Miller’s performance on CNN laid bare the uninformed and often biased narratives of liberal media, emphasizing the importance of holding power, both in the media and government, accountable. It is a reminder of the Trump administration’s stance to question misplaced priorities, such as lavish spending on illegal immigration instead of addressing pressing issues like veteran homelessness.
