I wish a reporter, just once, would go "Les, what the frick are you even talking about? Thats not how words work. Thats half a sentence with zero meaning."
How does Les order at a restaurant?
Sir what will you be having?
"We are aware of burgers, and additionally, it is possible, that french fries or salads"

It's always difficult to quote someone giving something other than a prepared statement. Particularly in an informal setting like a booster event. You can't hear tone, have no idea what was going on in the room, etc.

Given that the reporter's job is to ask idiotic questions, I doubt they are that smart.

Those little dots are called an ellipsis. Merriam-Webster provides a definition for an ellipsis:
a : the omission of one or more words that are obviously understood but that must be supplied to make a construction grammatically complete
b : a sudden leap from one topic to another
Now, you can attempt to understand that perhaps there is an omission of words from the quote. Or you can attempt to understand that perhaps something happened at the Rotary Club meeting that caused a change in the topic, after all, Miles was speaking extemporaneously rather than reading from a prepared statement.
Or you can continue to be an a-hole who makes weak attacks on a partial quote of some comments made at a Rotary Club meeting.
