Summary

A heated CNN interview saw Trump adviser Stephen Miller lose his composure while defending government job cuts and Elon Musk’s role in DOGE.

Host Brianna Keilar pressed Miller on the chaotic termination and reinstatement of 300 nuclear agency employees, leading him to angrily demand why she wasn’t “celebrating” government cuts.

Keilar urged him to “calm down.”

The White House later claimed that Musk is not an employee or administrator of DOGE but serves only as a senior adviser to Trump.

    Why not celebrate government cuts? Because all the countries in the world where the standard of living is the best have a strong public service managing social programs!

      Id love some cuts to the surveillance state. I bet if we cut their money we could put it into feeding our hungry and helping our disabled live their best lives.

      Like I just argued with some brain rot over:

      If these cuts are saving so much money, why not use it to fund UBI? If you actually believe their numbers they could have just made a $25k yearly UBI with cash left over.

      So why are they floating the idea of a $5k one time payment instead?
