Anthony Scaramucci: "Take on Stephen Miller"

January 27, 202601:33
00:00:00
Mr. Miller bought call options on
00:00:03
Trump's electoral success in 2024.
00:00:06
Nobody else bought those call options.
00:00:08
And then Miller said, "This is
00:00:10
fantastic. I'm an evil guy. I hate
00:00:13
people and I want to inflict pain on
00:00:15
people." And Trump is my empty vessel to
00:00:18
get back into the White House.
00:00:19
>> You have spent time with him. So, give
00:00:21
us one insight. Besides that, he looks
00:00:23
like a cartoon Nazi villain.
00:00:26
>> Miller is running the administration.
00:00:29
He's running domestic policy. He's
00:00:31
running international policy. Steven
00:00:33
Miller's talking to ICE. Steven Miller's
00:00:36
on the phone with Marco Rubio. The point
00:00:39
is this MF, he couldn't get dog catcher
00:00:43
confirmation. This MF, okay? And he's
00:00:46
sitting there. We had a 250year
00:00:48
experiment with a Republic with real
00:00:50
checks and balances. And this guy,
00:00:52
because he was hated in high school and
00:00:55
he still wants to take it out on the
00:00:56
rest of us, is gonna run rough shod over
00:00:59
all of us
00:01:00
>> because you have willing accompllices,
00:01:02
Cara.
00:01:04
>> And those willing accompllices are the
00:01:05
Republicans and the secondary willing
00:01:08
accompllices are the private sector
00:01:11
smarty pants billionaires that are
00:01:14
afraid of Steven Miller. How could you
00:01:16
guys be afraid of Steven Miller? Are you
00:01:17
guys serious? Were you that big of a
00:01:19
nerd group in in the high school
00:01:21
cafeteria to be afraid of Steven Miller?
00:01:24
What are you guys doing? Take on Steven
00:01:27
Miller.
