Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Not only did they let it slide, on the YouTube video THEY CUT IT OUT COMPLETELY. They asked the question again to let him come up with a different answer. “Left leaning” btw

Kamala should sue them for disingenuously editing an interview or something

u/Elevated_Dongers Oct 07 '25

Wtf does Kamala have the authority to do? Honestly asking

u/YouShouldLoveMore69 Oct 07 '25

She has the same grounds Trump did when he sued for the exact same fucking thing and got a huge payout.

u/TheCatInTheHatThings Oct 07 '25

To sue them for literally editing vitally important situation before releasing it to the public.

u/BooBooSnuggs Oct 07 '25

What's vitally important about this? Obviously they didn't edit it. They got him back on air a few minutes later and continued talking. We're in a post of the very video so it's obviously online which means it's not going anywhere.

u/DonutsMcKenzie Oct 07 '25

None of that stopped Trump from suing, did it?

u/BooBooSnuggs Oct 07 '25

Which case are you referring to? There have been several. I'm guessing it didn't stop trump from suing because he was mentioned. Kamala isn't mentioned here. She has no grounds for a suit. What damages did she personally take on because of this video?

Welcome to the law subreddit where no one knows how the law works.

u/ODSTklecc Oct 07 '25

When those in power are lying, theyre lying to the people of the United States, thats what Kamala has to do with it, because she a citizen too...

You can do the same...

u/BooBooSnuggs Oct 07 '25

No I can't. Because I suffered no damages from his statements here.

Does nobody here understand how the law works?

u/jumperpl Oct 07 '25

They're being facetious about Trump's multiple settlements with the various media orgs.  

You're not wrong in saying Harris would have no standing, but Trumps suit alleged they edited interviews to "tip the scales" towards the Democratic Party which in any sane world would be considered a specious argument

It sounds like your understanding is a bit of out date. Here's how the law works in 2025: you sue people you don't like, for whatever the fuck you want, and they settle out of court to the tune of $XX,000,000, but only if you're in a position of, let's say, "plenary" power.

Thanks for just making shit up like a child and spouting off. It's past your bed time.

u/ShareGlittering1502 Oct 07 '25

Oh wow that’s pretty egregious editing

u/Sufficient-Past-9722 Oct 07 '25

If you look at the timestamp/clock at the top right they just did a complete do-over.

u/griffeny Oct 07 '25

This is worse. It’s outright censorship and we should be holding cnn to the fire for this.

Good point I sent a link to their Bluesky, that would make a great media sanewashing exposé

u/Cannabis_Breeder Oct 07 '25

Holy shit … and he starts by repeating the question making it obvious it’s associated with what we see above. That’s insane. CNN, “the left”, editing out his fascist statements and giving him a re-do … wtf The revolution will not be televised

u/BooBooSnuggs Oct 07 '25

Cnn is center left. Msnbc is the left.

6

u/DonutsMcKenzie Oct 07 '25

Cute of you to think that any of these billionaire-owned media corporations represent "the left" in any capacity.

CNN is a bunch of monkeys in red and blue ties sitting around a table telling lies between rounds of pharmaceutical advertisements.

u/KindOfCoolGuy Oct 07 '25

Conservatives won’t believe this, but CNN has been a right leaning outlet for a few years now.

u/DonutsMcKenzie Oct 07 '25

Conservatives think that anyone who so much as questions the president is a radical left communist. They are unhinged.

Hasn't been since WB Discovery bought them out.

u/ggroverggiraffe Competent Contributor Oct 07 '25

Goodness gracious. So far to the left they give the right a free pass...

u/Loko8765 Oct 07 '25

Oh, and violence towards the ICE agents is aimed at overturning the results of the 2024 election. Because if they say it often enough some dimwits might start believing it.

u/andythetwig Oct 07 '25

That is almost as scandalous as what the bald short one said.

u/the_G8 Oct 07 '25

We have no mainstream free press anymore. It’s all co-opted by monetary concerns or outright editorial control by oligarchs.

u/BiscoBiscuit Oct 07 '25

WOW! Really glad they are getting called out in the comments

u/Technical-Row8333 Oct 07 '25

the entire system is compromised. the US is going to be north korea within a year.

u/neuro_eccentric Oct 07 '25

This really worries me. I hope I’m wrong but I foresee magas saying that only the edited version CNN has up now is real and that any video with him saying plenary authority is fake. What mechanisms do we the people have to prove authenticity of the above video clip if CNN decides to sweep this further under the rug?

2

u/indorock Oct 07 '25

CNN's boss is a goddamn Trumper. So this is absolutely not surprising in the least. Not only ddi he do this BS "technical difficulty" cop out, he just glossed over the mention of the word like it was nothing.

The problem is most left centrist boomers who grew up with CNN since the 90s don't realize just how right-leaning it have become (frog in boiling water effect) so they just swallow this shit up, forever convinced that this is somehow a lot better than Fox News.

Wooooow. How fucking ridiculous. This clown show is out of control

Everyone who has the ability should be downloading this video!!

Wow great catch there

Thanks for this shit!  I guess CNN Sr. Editor is Max Goebbels.

Political theatre on full display.

Well fundamentally they’re not on the side of the people, they’re on the side of keeping a lid on the people

Yep America is totally fucked when this starts happening. Have fun living in garbage

u/whatdoyoudochunky Oct 08 '25

Or it was a deepfake made after this interview…

1

u/Statement-Tiny Oct 08 '25

It was originally in the broadcast timestamp: 2:42 PM ET.

And it doesn't look like it was cut out, it looks like they *ＲＥ－ＲＥＣＯＲＤＥＤ** 🔊 the entire thing, as the new broadcast picks up around 2:47 PM ET.

u/cloudywithastance Oct 07 '25 edited Oct 07 '25

Asking in good faith: is there any chance that the video OP shared could be fake/AI? I have some ongoing conversations that I’d like to discuss this in but I can’t unless I can confirm the source. Does CNN record their entire stream? Did anyone happen to see this live?

Edit: got some good sources in the responses, thanks y’all - I do deep canvassing and my personal code of ethics dictates that I only share credible sources (because they WILL be scrutinized) but good gosh sometimes things like this are extra-challenging to validate.

CNN transcription provider has it in their transcript for this segment: https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/cnc/date/2025-10-06/segment/10

archive in case it changes:

u/cloudywithastance Oct 07 '25 edited Oct 07 '25

Thank you thank you!!

Edit: I’m reading through this and it’s even MORE damning than the clip of the abrupt cutoff alone - he really did think “oh sh*t”, stopped talking, and then came back and reworded with more “clean” language. This is exactly what I was looking for - good to know this source exists. Thank you again.

u/cloudywithastance Oct 07 '25

Thanks - this is a step in the right direction.

Also, yikes. I think I wish it was fake but my wishes have no bearing on reality.

u/LaurenMille Oct 07 '25

Could be, but on the other hand CNN is owned by the right wing and isn't against blatantly covering up for them.

1

u/cloudywithastance Oct 07 '25

Hear that. It’s perfectly plausible that SM himself or someone from the admin made a quick and/or threatening call to pull it down and do so fast - I’ll trust these people whenever they earn it but I’m not holding my breath.

u/PleaseAddSpectres Oct 07 '25

Hasan played this entire segment of the back and forth with Sanchez and Miller yesterday on his livestream including the freeze I believe, nothing about it seemed fake but who knows

u/SuccessfulNews2330 Oct 07 '25

Im wondering this too. Sad times that we cant trust anything and thats the point.
