Watch: CNN Producer Betrays Host on Live TV, Posts Graphic Showing Pro-Trump Guest Is Right and She's Wrong

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has demonstrated a deeper grasp of the Constitution and American history than his liberal critics.

In a widely shared clip that gained traction Monday on the social media platform X, Miller effectively dismantled CNN host Kasie Hunt’s misleading claim regarding the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. This is the same legislation former President Donald Trump cited in his recent executive order aimed at fast-tracking the deportation of members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Miller, unexpectedly, received some unintended support from the show’s producer during the exchange.

Their discussion unfolded on CNN’s “The Arena with Kasie Hunt” on Monday.

“It does say in the very beginning [that] there has to be a declared war against a nation or a state,” Hunt argued, putting forth an interpretation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act that can only be described as highly questionable.

Why questionable? President John Adams enacted the Alien Enemies Act in the midst of an undeclared naval conflict with revolutionary France.

Miller wasted no time correcting Hunt’s assertion, despite her attempts to backtrack.

“No. Wrong,” Miller responded. “Look up the statute. It’s on my account on social media.”

“That’s actually where we found it earlier,” Hunt admitted.

“It says, ‘or a predatory incursion,’” Miller clarified.

At that moment, the show’s producer promptly displayed a graphic that validated Miller’s statement.

“Any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government,” the graphic stated.

This excerpt, though slightly paraphrased, accurately reflects Section 1 of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

As of Tuesday morning, the nearly ten-minute clip had accumulated over 2.9 million views on X, with Miller’s performance making it well worth the watch.

In the broader context, this exchange was emblematic of the ongoing struggle between American populists and their entrenched establishment adversaries.

The establishment favors open borders, partly to secure cheap labor and a steady influx of Democrat voters. At its core, however, the establishment harbors disdain for patriotic Americans. By leaving the borders wide open, they sought to undermine both the nation’s security and its foundational values.

Hunt, like many CNN hosts, executed the primary skill expected in that role—she perpetuated a misleading narrative in service of establishment interests.

Yet, the Miller-Hunt confrontation also underscored an even deeper and more concerning struggle.

With the overconfidence often displayed by liberal judges, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attempted to exceed his constitutional authority by ordering—though lacking the power to do so—the return of two deportation flights carrying Tren de Aragua gang members to the U.S.

As previously outlined, the Trump administration swiftly acted to complete the deportations, but further decisive action is necessary.

At some stage, Trump and his administration must fully assert executive authority, emphasizing the irrefutable constitutional principle that unelected judges—whether on the Supreme Court or lower benches—do not hold exclusive power to define the scope of the executive and legislative branches.

While courts can offer legal opinions, they do not control the nation’s finances or military power.

The Founders designed the system that way.

During an early constitutional dispute over the unpopular Jay Treaty, President George Washington outright rejected the House of Representatives’ demand for documents related to treaty negotiations. While Congress controlled commerce, the president and Senate handled treaties. The debate continued, but no one considered involving the Supreme Court.

Furthermore, when Chief Justice John Marshall introduced judicial review in the famed and often overrated 1803 “Marbury v. Madison” decision, President Thomas Jefferson dismissed Marshall’s assertion and later dedicated part of his retirement to challenging the notion of judicial supremacy.

With Adams, Washington, and Jefferson as historical precedents, the Trump administration has strong backing for its position.

Now is the moment to invoke these foundational principles and uphold the Constitution’s intended meaning. Miller’s swift rebuttal of Hunt’s flawed claim—ironically supported by CNN’s own on-screen graphic—marked a significant first step.
