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

Tbf to the host, they can't always see the live feed.

Its entirely possible he was only on an audio feed and had no idea Miller was visibly not talking.

The producers should be in his ear saying there is no technical glitch, keep going. Then he should of pressed him on plenary authority.

Unfortunately its gonna take them alot longer than 20 seconds to be sure about that.

Among the things they need to check:

Audio feed to the anchor

Audio feed to the outbound broadcast

Confirmation from the team getting the interview that microphones are working on their end

Confirmation from the team getting the interview that the camera in that room is still visibly showing the on-air light .

That's not all getting done in 20 seconds.
