Transcript of Breaking: Trump Chief of Staff Resigns, Stephen Miller Hired

This is a breaking news alert: Donald Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has officially resigned, and Donald Trump just announced that he is replacing Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller will become the new Chief of Staff. Immediately upon Donald Trump announcing that Stephen Miller will become the new Chief of Staff, Democratic Congressmember Robert Garcia, who will chair the House Oversight Committee, said, "Miller, you better lawyer up immediately. We are coming after you."

Yep.

Why did they Susie Wiles's departure.

Yeah.

Stephen Miller will be the new Chief of Staff, and Susie's going to go over to the political operation.

So a reporter asked him, "Well, you previously said there was zero chance Susie Wiles would be leaving. What changed?" Trump ignores that question. Then he turns to another reporter, and watch this. Let's play it.

You said about a month ago that there was zero chance Susie Wiles was going to be replaced. So what changed, sir?

What do you have?

I just want to know why you decided to make that decision.

Because I wanted to make a change.

Donald Trump then says, "And things are going to be great with Stephen Miller in charge because the economy's already doing great, and Miller will make it better," he says. Here, play this clip.

Most incredible job numbers. They came out many times higher than anticipated. The economy is doing well, except for yesterday because of the vote.

Next, a reporter asks him, "Well, what's your message to Iran right now?" And Trump says, "We're doing very well because the last time a soldier was killed was 7 months or 6 months ago," which is just entirely false. But this is what he says. Here, play this clip.

What is your message to Iran?

What is your message for Iran? We're beating Iran. We are doing very well with Iran. We're talking to Iran. We have been. We haven't lost a soldier in 7 months or 6 months. We have the Palmo Strait opening, doing more business than they've ever done with oil. And we're doing very well. And we are talking to Iran.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump was then asked by a member of the press, "How does it feel to lose? How does it feel to be a loser?" And then Trump just walked away. Here, play this clip.

How does it feel to be a loser?

Now I want you to remember Stephen Miller in high school. He went to Santa Monica High School in California. This was the video of him saying, "I'm sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash. That's the job of janitors. Do your job." This is the kind of sicko that he is. Play this clip.

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash? And we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it.

And then here he is as well, on a field trip in high school, where he said that torture is great. Torture is a celebration of human dignity. Play this clip.

To the issue of the Iraqi civilians. I think that as many of them should survive as possible because the goal of any military conflict is to kill as few people as possible. But as for Saddam Hussein and his henchmen, I think the ideal solution would be to cut off their fingers. I don't think it's necessary to kill them entirely. We're not a barbaric people. We respect life. Therefore, torture is the way to go because torture people can live. Torture is a celebration of life and human dignity.

McFarlane is the Washington, DC correspondent here at the Midas Touch network. Here's what David Rhoad said. Let's play it.

It's another hardline sign. And it's a sign that, bluntly, the president is not listening to voters. 60% of Americans roughly disapprove of the immigration policies of the administration. And then in terms of national security, you'll have we saw a vast expansion of presidential power, an unprecedented expansion of presidential power. And so this is a sign that that will continue because, as Kevin said, this is what Stephen Miller believes in. And just on Hegseth, I have one small piece of news. The incoming new chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Representative Adam Smith of Washington, he's been hearing that Hegseth is likely out.

Here's what Scott McFarlane, Midas Touch DC bureau chief, had to say. Play this clip.

A lot of tension. How much of this is a response to the elections on Tuesday?

Seems a pretty clear response. The Democrats in Congress literally have said, "Lawyer up," to the administration. And this seems to be a symmetrical political response, that they're going to be defiant of Congress. Not a surprise. Also, perhaps not a surprise that the biggest removal post-election is another woman from the Cabinet. It's been a pattern of Trump 2.0. The people who tend to get fired or moved out are the women in powerful positions. This is another example of it. I'll add this, though. Congress is already getting ready to do battle with the administration.

You say this is a version of the White House going to war with the midterms, essentially.

Now, there are many clips of Stephen Miller talking about how he wants to torture immigrants and saying the most horrific, Nazi-like things, in my opinion. But here he is saying that he believes that Donald Trump and Melania are the greatest style icons ever. Let's play this clip.

He also just said, "Since we're addressing the subject of style, the most stylish president and first lady in our lifetimes are Donald Trump and Melania Trump." Donald Trump's a style icon. He changed American fashion in The Apprentice. People spent the next 10 years trying to dress like Donald Trump. So if anybody deserves a puff piece on their sense of style, it's Donald Trump and the first lady.

It should be noted that Donald Trump's new Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, called Renee Good and Alex Pretti terrorists after ICE shot and killed them for peacefully protesting. He never took that back. Also, contractors who turned a warehouse into an illegal ICE detention facility said Stephen Miller did not want the facilities to be comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point blank that that was not what the administration wanted. He wanted it to be cruel and unusual, and he wanted to torture the immigrants. That's coming from the contractors who built these concentration camps at Stephen Miller's request.

I think the most important point is that this administration, on the asylum point, has been implementing international agreements all over the world to take in our asylum seekers. So America's doors are closed fully to asylum seekers. We've set up agreements where if you want asylum, then we will find a country elsewhere in the world to take you. It's very simple, a very elegant, very complete solution.

And then Stephen Miller has also said that we need to end birthright citizenship. He is a racist piece of shit. Here, play this clip.

What I said was that this country doesn't have a future if we don't end birthright citizenship. Obviously, the right and correct way to end birthright citizenship is for the Supreme Court to rule what the 14th Amendment clearly and correctly means. But one way or another, this nation has to end birthright citizenship.
