TylerHOST
So that's a possibility for sure.
ChrisPANELIST
Yeah, Jeff Sessions is the leader.
ChrisPANELIST
That guy fucking sucked.
ChrisPANELIST
He was corrupt as fuck.
Josh HammerGUEST
So I have been following Stephen Miller for well over a decade.
Josh HammerGUEST
I've been following him since probably when he was a Jeff Sessions Senate staffer helping to kill the Gang of Eight amnesty bill back in 2013, I suppose the year was.
Josh HammerGUEST
I've been following Stephen for a very, very, very long time.
Josh HammerGUEST
Stephen was essentially MAGA before MAGA existed.
Mike MurphyGUEST
And the poster child in the middle of it will be will be Hegseth.
Mike MurphyGUEST
I think the other thing Trump's probably thinking and, you know, Miller did work for Jeff Sessions, my old client.
Mike MurphyGUEST
I'm embarrassed to say I did his first election.
Mike MurphyGUEST
The committee sent me down there because he was losing and we turned around me and John Weaver, by the way, a name you don't hear these days.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
And so many of them have now lost.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
In my book, I talk about the first one, Jeff Sessions.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
So two weeks, less than two weeks after Trump said that I could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, which isn't exactly a very good recommendation for leadership.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
Jeff Sessions was the first.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
He went to the MAGA rally.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
He put on the hat and Trump is like, wow, I'm being normalized now.
Ruth Ben-GhiatGUEST
And so he's gone or Tuberville.
Jennifer WelchHOST
Yeah.
Michael WolffHOST
over the course of Trump's career to now the highest point that he could possibly rise.
Joanna ColesHOST
Wasn't he an advisor to Jeff Sessions? So he was an advisor to Jeff Sessions in the first administration when Jeff Sessions was attorney general.
Joanna ColesHOST
Isn't that how he came into
Michael WolffHOST
it? Well, he came in, he worked for Sessions when he was a senator.
Michael WolffHOST
And so this is part of, he comes in, Stephen Miller is part of the Bannon family.
Michael WolffHOST
the Bannon faction that comes in.
Michael WolffHOST
So Sessions was Bannon's candidate for president before Donald Trump came along.
Michael WolffHOST
And then there was the shift to Donald Trump.
Michael WolffHOST
over the course of Trump's career to now the highest point that he could possibly rise.
Joanna ColesHOST
Wasn't he an advisor to Jeff Sessions? So he was an advisor to Jeff Sessions in the first administration when Jeff Sessions was attorney general.
Joanna ColesHOST
Isn't that how he came into it?
Michael WolffHOST
Well, he came in, he worked for Sessions when he was a senator.
Joanna ColesHOST
He looked more terrible.
Joanna ColesHOST
He looked more terrible.
Joanna ColesHOST
And I think we should just do... 30 seconds on Jeff Sessions as a footnote in political history, because a man who was comfortably settled in as a senator in the South, he gets the opportunity to be attorney general for Donald Trump.
Joanna ColesHOST
You would think, again, a bit like Todd Blanche, the dreams of a lawyer to be attorney general.
Bobby CapucciHOST
And I'll just ask you if you're understanding that those individuals were required to physically come in for a deposition.

Led BlackHOST
Right.
Led BlackHOST
He worked within this atmosphere.

Tom ForemanCORRESPONDENT
Contact with right-wing firebrand Steve Bannon and then Republican Senator Jeff Sessions brought Miller to Donald Trump in his first presidential campaign, where some of Trump's toughest talk on crime, drugs, and immigration came from the young man's pan.
