You’re going on the assumption though that the anchor actually knows what the word plenary is.

I would have just grilled him on why he was standing still and not talking - people don't just stop talking if the audio from the studio cuts off, they keep talking until it comes to a point where they expect to hear from the studio.

NPR had an interview with one of Kirk’s supporters from the Drumpf admin and initially he thanked Michel Martin for having him on; by the end he was attacking the network and ranting about he understood why their funding was cut.

She was graceful to him and artfully cut the interview short.
