In brazil [ screaming ] now im debating whether i would rather be on a Carnival Cruise line or in brazil. Im not sure. What caused the spiders to rain from the sky . Stephanie no. Thats why its terrifying. Probably a storm lifted them up. Stephanie just because. They were airborne and came down again. Stephanie do you care why when a spider falls on your head. And latches on to you like an alien . Ahh stephanie what is the scientific cause of this . Oh wowee. Meanwhile, you just weve got news breaking left and right.

Stephanie oh god. By the way, david in new york city brings us the [ world news tonight ] we played some of this on friday. Every time something happens at least sean hannity tries to make it, oh, hes a liberal. Murderer guy. The wing nuts are trying to label the killer cop as a liberal progressive. He was not an obama supporter. Before you start your argument that you believe i would vote for obama because he has the same skin color as me, [ bleep ] you. I didnt vote in this last election. As my choice of candidate jon huntsman didnt win the primary candidacy. [ wah wah ] that explains a lot. Sure. Stephanie okay. Meanwhile, back in sexy liberal land. St. Louis bitches be crazy too.

Really . Stephanie love him so much. One thing i dont love so much [ explosion ] every week he says something that makes my head. [ explosion ] it started with the should sunday after the election, remember that . Should the president , by way of bipartisan outreach, what is with this bipartisan outreach . [ bleep ] he won for [ bleep ] sake. Should he bring in is there a role for senator goldwater in your administration . Stephanie oh yes. He can have any cabinet position he would like. [ magic wand ] stephanie thats what the tools they had on. The two right wing mike murphy and oh, yes im really hoping the president is not as combative as in his inaugural. Oh, shut up. Combative. Stephanie so i cant even remember who. David gregory asked somebody, should the president withdraw chuck hagels nomination . No should he just step down and nominate someone else . No stephanie what . No perhaps a republican . Chuck hagel is a republican twit bill press had a really good point this morning. He and i are getting really tired of seeing john mccain and Lindsey Graham every single sunday on every single show stephanie the senator of the green room. [ world news tonight ] i was just going to get to that. Lindsey graham will permanently on the couch or in a green arent. He threatened to block votes on nominees for c. I. A. Director and defense secretary until the administration gives more information about benghazi. Well i declare ill be sipping my mint julep. I dont think we should allow brennan to go forward for the c. I. A. Directorship. Hagel to be confirmed to secretary of defense until the white house gives us an accounting. Stephanie then he. Announcer ed away. Was he one of the guys who gave there are some senators that those shows could book that were against the benghazi hearings period. How about getting the other side instead of these two. Stephanie exactly. Worlds angriest two leprechauns. One of them is a little more tastefully to the point. Im not insinuating anything. Stephanie the conventional wisdom drives me crazy. We cant get anything done on guns. Thats too much. This weapons ban we cant possibly. I agreed with my friend, arianna on meet the press. She said please, picture of the president skeet shooting is so depressing. It is so true. It is obvious i have to pander to the gun people. Okay. Yeah. I didnt have a problem with it. Stephanie okay. All right. [ world news tonight ] the president s not skeet shooting. Well then it is photo shopped. Smoke coming out of the wrong skeeters, people who dont believe it is not angled the right way to have a the shells and i think he has people around him to carry vests full of shells. I dont think he has to have a vest full of shells. Stephanie hes like the king. He doesnt carry cash. Your moneys not good here. Stephanie now im going to be ill be in rightwing world tomorrow because i called the president the king. Youre already stephanie see, liberals are admitting it. You were on newsbusters over the weekend. Stephanie what did i do . You used the term rice ball around Michelle Malkin. I know. Eating the rice ball. It is a meme internet thing. Stephanie we posted it on my facebook page. I wonder idea i got these emails. How dare, youre so racist about Michelle Malkin. I literally got these emails. What are they talking about . You said Michelle Malkin was unpacking a rice ball. Healthcare nonsense. They thought you were being racist because they didnt hear the half hour before, yeah us talking about the stephanie the theme of the show was the rice ball. Go check it out. It is adorable. It is still on your facebook page. Stephanie you were saying he seemed surprised every time he took a bite. Oh, its still here wow. Newsbusters calls us out on racism for the baby monkey meme . I dont know. Thats what that was about. [ world news tonight ] stephanie the best news of the weekend, george w. Bushs paintings. Another jim ward skit come to life. I made a picture. It is a picture of me in the shower looking at me in the mirror. Im in the shower looking at a mirror. Stephanie now theres all of the art critics who have come out of the artwork. We may never know why he likes depicting himself in the bathroom. The discredited former leader trying to wash himself clean of the long failure. Wow. Stephanie purifying water he can see himself his very soul in the mirror. There is nothing left you about the grave. His eyes say. Wow. I really think people are reading too much into that. I always thought art criticism was a waste of time. Elephants have done better paintings than that. Ive seen elephants. Chimpanzees have done better. Stephanie look at all of the work that clinton is doing. Im in the shower. Look at me in the mirror. Picture of me washing my junk. I thought better of it. Better not do that. Not safe for stephanie may i say the one thing, if youre someone like me thats had your privacy hacked that is awful. It doesnt matter who it is. It is awful. We dont encourage that. Stephanie exactly. All right. As you and i both, we shared stories. Has more to do with who we dated. 18 minutes after the hour. Theres that. Stephanie if youve had your privacy hacked to that degree you understand how it feels. Chris and stephanie. 18 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer the left roars back. [cat meowing] announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. Current tv is the place for true stories. With Award Winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines. Real, gripping, current. Documentaries. On current tv. Stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. Oh dear god. Just when you thought the Republican Party could not get any pathetic. A republican strategist said on a sunday show, we need rubio because he knows who tupac is. Wow. Stephanie tupac was shot 16 years ago. Salt and pep na has salt and pepa has broken up and will has moved on from the fresh prince of bellaire. Theyre going to try to book biggy smalls. What do you mean hes not available . Stephanie notorious dead. What . [ world news tonight ] Nicole Wallace argued that rubio was good for the party as a whole because he knows who tupac is. That knowledge proved he could connect to young voters. Our friend representative Keith Ellison pointed out to is like lipstick on a pig. Republicans have a core values problem not a who is tupac shakur problem. Did you see the Time Magazine . Marco. Rubio. Stephanie laura in pennsylvania, youre on the the Stephanie Miller show. Hi laura. Caller hi, stephanie. Jim and chris. My main topic is i have to admit im scared to death that obama he swore he wouldnt put it on the table. And it is just im i could lose my home. Im supporting my 6yearold grandson. I have a 24,000 loan out you know. Im just hoping they dont touch it. Im just praying. But anyway, what is it with our Social Security that the republicans want to take for us but yet we have to pay for their Health Insurance and their pensions . Stephanie yep. I agree with you. Senator sanders says over and over again we do not have a crisis in Social Security. Remember they tried this the last time with george bush, he kept using the word crisis thinking if he said that, we would privatize it out of panic or something. Just raise the cap. Stephanie theres an idea. Sure. Stephanie helpers. 116,000 a year, above that, you dont pay into it at all . Its insane. Stephanie speaking of bush [ world news tonight ] im fascinated with the art critics reviews of his doodles. They say jim, he is a better painter than churchill and hitler. So theres that. Hes a better painter than hitler was. Wow. Actually, hitler was pretty good at painting buildings but not people which tells you a lot. Stephanie yes, theyre both selfportraits. Both showing mr. Bush bathing as we know. One in the shower, one in the bathtub. One shows mr. Bush in the shower seen from the back. His wellknown squint caught in the shaving mirror. The other is a births eye view as he soaks with the water running. And then theres some controversy, chris, as to why it looks like the one knee is swollen. Two paintings could be said to depict the introverted selfabsorption for which he is known. Perhaps hes trying to seek the redemption of his less fortuitous decisions as president. Reading way much into it. Stephanie kind of a dufus. I was going to do something naive, they call it there. In the critic world. I cant draw too good. Stephanie judy in michigan. Hi judy. Caller hi, stephanie. How are you . Stephanie good. Go ahead. Caller good. I feel like shirley sherrod. Do you remember her . Stephanie yes. Caller im exhausted. These idiot republicans will not leave our president governed. I just wanted to say to somebody why dont mccain and Lindsey Graham just go on an island somewhere or stephanie like gilligan and the captain . The island of misfit toys. Stephanie Lindsey Graham and leon panetta on a sunday show. This is from the hearing. Are you are surprised the president never called you secretary panetta and said how is it going . Normally, in these situations did he know the level of threat let me finish the answer. We were deploying the forces. He knew we were deploying the forces. He was being kept i hate to interrupt you but i got limited time. We didnt deploy any forces. Why is he asking questions if he doesnt want to hear the answer . Stephanie Lindsey Graham. Chance for him to pontificate. If i were a Family Member and one of my loved ones was killed in benghazi, i would be sick to my stomach. Stephanie i would certainly get to the bottom of who cut the funding for security oh, it was me. Oops. Stephanie this was the fit we talked about earlier. Play it again . Stephanie senator Lindsey Graham. I dont think we should allow brennan to go forward for the c. I. A. Directorship, hagel to be confirmed to secretary of defense until the white house gives us an accounting. [baby crying] [ applause ] stephanie there he is. Lindsey graham with his [ bleep ] fit. He wont do anything until i tell him to. Until im ready for them to do something. Im going to sit here and stamp my feet until they do everything i want them to. Thats the only thing they have left. Seriously. Stephanie all right. Yeah, we have lots to guess whos on cnn. Dick morris. Looks like hes reinventing himself on cnn. Now hes a moderate republican [ magic wand ] all of that stuff, i said, dont believe any of it. Stephanie right. Im being serious now though. Trust me. Stephanie 25 minutes after the hour. Rude pundit is next on the Stephanie Miller show. Going to do the young turks. I think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. They know that im not bsing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. When the democrats are wrong, they know that im going to be the first one to call them out. They can question whether im right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. Surprise your house was built on an ancient burial ground. [ ghosts moaning ] surprise your car needs a new transmission. [ coyote howls ] how about no more surprises . Now you can get all the online Trading Tools you need without any surprise fees. Its not rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. You look familiar. Are you on on the television or something . Sorry buddy. You got me confused with Stephanie Miller. Stephanie monday, you know what that means. Unless somebody rude pundit. Ooh pa, pa, pa, pa ooh stephanie good morning papa. Good morning. Stephanie please tell me youre not as chris still is from the weekend. I never stop that. Stephanie we were talking about the george w. Bush paintings as well. You posted them under paintings that creep the rude pundit the [ bleep ] out. [ laughter ] you point out as we did you say sure, it is kind of [ bleep ] to put this up since it was stolen from the hacked email account of bushs sister but the rude pundit has to tell you that selfportrait of the man himself is fascinating. It is. You know it could have been titled i dont know, maybe he would have titled it i found the weapons or Something Like that. Stephanie you say that would be the one where hes staring at his toes. Justice his toes poking up out of the tub at the end. Stephanie you say the first thing rude pundit thought was look out behind you. Was him awaiting his elderly male lover for some nude shower wrestling. Oh stephanie everybody interprets art differently. Thats right. We dont know his intention so its open. Hes an artist. He would want that. Heres a picture of a dukey i left in the toilet. Talk about weapons of mass destruction. Stephanie nah hes wondering if anybody will catch him [ bleep ] down the drain. That could be as deep as it goes. Really, i think so. I just wonder where are the pictures of him clearing brush . Why isnt he painting that . Why is he painting anything thats vaguely the macho guy that we got to watch all of those years . It is just him getting clean. Maybe hes got stephanie heres my ducky. The photo of him hang out with ralph lauren like all the macho guys do. Stephanie i love it when you get your Family Research council your superduper prayer this week, pray for straight scouts and against the passage of violence against women act. Thats what they would like you to pray for right . Thats right. You know, against the scouts being against gay scouts, thats understandable. The vote against the violence against women act because jesus wants you to do that, just kind of weird to me. Whats their reasoning . Stephanie which woman would jesus hit . Do you know their reasoning . Because it is loaded up with liberal things like we dont want we want to give protection to gays and lesbians who are abused. And we want to give protection to illegal immigrants, illegal immigrant women who are abused. You know, theyre here illegally. How is a smack really illegal . Stephanie i see. How christian. Oh, and dont forget, dont forget that the Tribal Council stuff, thats a thing that that tribal law takes precedence in these cases for violence against nativeamerican women. Which eric cantor has just lost his mind over. Stephanie yes exactly. You say, the one thing that has bugged me [ bleep ] about the whole gay or not gay scouts issue, the fact that the antigay site has a problem with lesbian den leaders. The gay man cant do it because they might lust for the boys. Whats your argument for the lesbians . You prefer straight women who love the [ bleep ] hanging out with high school aged eagle scouts . Yes, one would think what better solution than a lesbian den mother, right . Right lesbian den mother, its fine. Why wouldnt you want . You should be encouraging lesbian den mothers. But maybe thats supporting i dont know, lesbians being mothers. Maybe thats the problem. Johnny has two den mothers. Stephanie then obviously you wait until the drone stuff but you wade into the drone stuff. It is not happy clappy but it is realism. [ magic wand ] you say of the candidates who had a chance this last election, who would you rather have in office. The guy who does drone strikes and has marginally higher taxes on the worthy or the guy who blocked any gun control legislation. Would you rather have Barry Goldwater or the dude who escalated the vietnam war but signed civil rights laws. It is living in the world you have, not the world you want. Wow. That was reasonable stephanie whats happened to you . You can sit here and despise and want to try to change our policy on drone strikes but still sit there and go well, okay you know. It is great that, for instance, in the state of the union apparently obama is going to call for getting rid of some of our nuclear weapons. It is like groovy and now lets elect a congress that wants to stop drone strikes. I mean, thats actually probably again i think ive said this before on the show. The kind of spin you can put on some of the policies that are so reprehensible that obama has is its almost like hes Daring Congress to say you guys put into place you guys allowed this expansion of executive power. You guys stop it stephanie yeah, rude, it is not that obviously we talked about this on the show. Were not all troubled to some degree about it. How what do you do . But i think youre right. When you compare it to george bushs two ground wars, the fact that were getting everybody out of iraq and afghanistan, you know and i think it is most compelling to me when we have military people call and write and say hey it saves soldiers lives. I guess there is that, right . Well, i think maybe the bigger outrage here for some on the left is that theres no oversight. It is simply the word of one person. Now, he may be getting all of the advice in the world but theres nobody that theres no check or balance to that power. And isnt that a frightening amount of power for a president the executive power in the country to have. Stephanie right. You know you brought up a point about congress. I was reading this piece in salon from a former congressman tom allen saying the g. O. P. Speaks a different language. I was watching, i think it was you go through each and every issue. Im sure the president will talk about this tomorrow night in the state of the union. The American People on his side on all of the issues. This is what he ran on. These are all of the issues that and literally it is the republicans in congress. Thats why when David Gregory or whoever tries to make it seem like both sides do it, it is Congressional Republicans right . That is the problem. Right. It is Congressional Republicans and gerrymandered districts and i think the solution is, you know we put all of this money into ads and all of this money into superpacs. How about inside we do this. We put a bunch of money into moving people on the left into the gerrymandered districts. Stephanie yep. Thats a good idea. We just fill it. We build apartment complexes that are there and give discounts to people who agree to vote a certain way. And we take over the gerrymandered districts using capitalism. Stephanie right. Interesting what tom allen says. Former congressman tom allen. G. O. P. Speaks a different language. You try serving with the republicans. I spent 12 years in congress and lost hope we could talk to each other. As i listened to baffling arguments on the house floor and private conversations, i lost hope for bipartisan agreement on our major Public Policy challenges on budgets taxes healthcare, climate change, it made no difference to our republican colleagues. What democrats took as wellestablished fact, republicans dismissed as opinions. Do they believe what they say in the answer was huish usually no. There you go you turn to the sunday shows and it is the president s fault. Why wont the president do more bipartisan. What is wrong with him . Its like i love we want spending cuts and the president had better tell us which ones. Exactly. Stephanie now, of course theyre trying to blame the sequester that they all voted for, on the president. The sequester he was cornered into. That great Keith Ellison moment when he was on, i forget which show this weekend, he was on with a republican congressman who started blaming the president for the sequester and ellison just said no. You guys were holding the debt limit hostage. And you wanted this. And now we have it. And so the president was willing to offer a deal but because they refused in any way to budge on taxes, that there was no deal. You know, i love the shortterm memory, too. Because you have Lindsey Graham now, screeching about benghazi, you know. Total screaming meme about it. I just cant i have to picture him in some kind of frilly floral print. [ laughter ] stephanie screaming. Like if it were raining spiders on him. Right, exactly raining spiders and rice balls. Oh see there ya go but yet, he was one of the when he first got to the senate, when he was in the house of representatives, he was one of the biggest supporters of bush on weapons of mass destruction. Stephanie thats right. Its like wheres the investigation of all of the people and then he wasnt somebody who was so upset about the weapons of mass destruction. Stephanie right. You know how clever speaking of the sequestration, how clever they are with the social media. Boehner has invented a new word via twitter he thinks will turn this whole thing around. He makes the case the president s to blame for the upcoming automatic spending cuts and it is hash tag obama quester. Oh thats clever, boehner. He had nothing to do with the sequester. Stephanie house g. O. P. Has voted to replace the sequester twice. Wow. This is now getting this is putting obama at the front of every word. It is now getting as clever as using gate or tard. Stephanie exactly. Nicely done. Rudeness [ buzzer ] rude pundit, see ya next week, honey. Love ya. Bye. [ buzzer ] stephanie stop it right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Excatholic girls gone wild. Her grade school nuns would like to slap her silly. Its the Stephanie Miller show. Now find the most hard core driver in america. That guy, put him in it. Whats this . [ male announcer ] tell him hes about to find out. Youre about to find out. [ male announcer ] test it. Highlight the european chassis 6 speed manual, dual exhaust wide stance, clean lines have him floor it, spin it punch it, drift it put it through its paces is he happy . Oh ya, hes happy [ male announcer ] and thats how you test your car for fun. Easy. [ piano plays ] Troy Polamalus going deeper. And so is head shoulders deep clean. [ male announcer ] with 7 benefits it goes deep to remove grease, gunk and flakes. Deep. Like me. [ male announcer ] head shoulders deep clean for men. vo she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. Ok, so theres wiggle room in the ten commandments, thats what youre saying. vo shes joy behar. Current will let me say anything. Nobody but Stephanie Miller and me. Youre the first. Youre the last. My everything. Stephanie hmm. It is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. 50 minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Eric boehlert, media matters and rightwing world at the top of the hour. Lets go to blan in chicago. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hi, stephanie, jim and chris. Hello. Caller look, remember when the deal came out. They were all over the tv everywhere saying weve got 98 of what we wanted. Weve got 98 . This is that deal. This is that 98 of what they wanted. And they got it. Stephanie right. Absolutely. They think we have like shortterm memory loss, dont they . Caller absolutely. All i wanted to say. Stephanie thank you honey. Guess who else was on the sunday show. Eric cantor. The problem is, david every time you turn around, the answer is to raise taxes. He just got his tax hike on the wealthy. You cant in this town, every three months, raise taxes. Taxes. Who does that . Crazy stephanie such a smarmy bastard, im sorry. He irritates the bejesus out of me. All right. Yes. This is clever. When did the government ever raise taxes . Oh, reagan did it three times. Stephanie he jumped into that to blame the president for the sequester. Hash tag obamaquester. Clever the boner tweeted that. The goal to rally the Republican Base around the term hash tag obama quester that falls right off the tongue, this could turn either pressure president obama to come up with a deal fave tonight g. O. P. Or if the sequester cements the idea that it is potentially devastating consequences are obamas fault except there are stories like this that get out so it looks more handy. Well make it look like its his fault. That will show them. Stephanie eric cantor jumped into the twitter game. Sequester number one an issue obama created for which he refuses to take responsibility. Number two democrats excuse for higher taxes. Hash tag obamaquester. Okay. Eric cantor, spending is a problem in washington. I hope president obama offers an alternative to hash tag obama quester. God. Stephanie so plunky. How do they figure that the sequester is obamas fault . Stephanie can i just say they dont. Theyre saying it and hoping. Stephanie just saying progressives just a little more clever with the social media. Matt iglesias wrote why did Speaker Boehner vote for this horrible sequest summer 174 republicans voted for it. Lol gop writes what do you call it when boehner gets what he wanted . Hash tag obamaquester. Stop it. Youre not good at the social media thing. Stop trying. Neither are you personally. Stephanie i dont claim to be. Dana in maryland, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller good morning, everybody. How are you . I love your nail polish, steph. Stephanie i got new gels. I never do color. This is the first time. Stephanie girl tip from Jacki Schechner and melissa fitzgerald. Caller i was like wow, shes wearing nail polish. Stephanie i never used to get it before because im active and it peels too quickly. [ hypnotic ] these last up to two weeks. Caller theyre beautiful. They look terrific. Chris, i love your shirt. Stephanie you know why i did it . Because you can see if you watch the tv, how many times chris misses a cue. This time, i can caller when youre giving him the finger, we can see it. I love your shirt chris. Jim, you are on fire today. Hilarious as always. No seriously just those little oneliners, like i write them down. Stephanie he slips them in before he tells you youre pretty. Caller i love it. I was just going to talk about eric cantor because you know, hes saying how much he loves women, he is still blocking the stephanie violence against women act. Caller what is that about . It is absolutely ridiculous. Hes an idiot. Stephanie all right. Weve used up the word idiot this hour. Thats it. No more. Computer says no. Eric cantor not liking women. [ world news tonight ] stephanie all right. For those of us political geeks state of the union tomorrow. I love it stephanie it is on at 6 00 our time. Then i have to edit everything down. Stephanie a news friend of mine texted me over the weekend. So what are you doing . Im getting ready to go to bed. He said it is like 7 30. Thats what time babies and milk men go to bed. Milk men . When is the last time you saw a milkman . Buggy manufacturers go to bed. Stephanie you go to bed when babies do. Shut up. President obama will focus his state of the union on boosting job creation and economic growth. The word is hell also use his prime time address to announce debts for the war in afghanistan by the end of 2014. The president would address taxes and looming across the board budget cuts known as hash tag obama quester. He said im prepared to do a big package that ends this governess crisis where every few months were threatening this hard one recovery. So anyway, im excited about it. Yeah. Stephanie all right. Im sure well talk about gun control. Oh Cleopatra Crowley did you see this . This teenage girl performed for the president at the inaugural parade. Was killed by gun violence in chicago. Within a mile of the obamas home. Stephanie this was her mother. You dont know how hard this really is. And those of you who do know how hard this is, im sorry. Im sorry. Heartbreaking. Stephanie interesting story. Im sure theres no connection here. States with the higher gun ownership and weak gun laws leads the nation in gun deaths. What a shock. Stephanie headline. It is gun. I think Wayne Lapierrre should be forced to meet with all of the families of shooting victims. Stephanie again, not the only part of the equation. Part of it. You cant ignore it. States with higher gun ownership rates and weak gun laws have the highest rates of gun deaths. The analysis reveals the five states are the highest rates from alaska, louisiana montana wyoming. They had a per death gun rate far exceeding the per capita. Each state has lax gun laws. By contrast with those of ownership have lower rates. Theyre connected to states like indiana which is where the guns are coming into chicago. Stephanie last in the states for gun deaths. Hawaii rhode island, new jersey and new york. It is not easy for people in hawaii to go next door to indiana. Stephanie unless youre really good on the paddleboat. More guns in hawaii, clearly. That will make it even safer. Stephanie exactly. What . [ world news tonight ] stephanie out here in california, im just saying we tend to lead the way in things. California democrats propose stricter gun strictest gun regulations in the nation. Ill go through some of the ideas. But they seem to make sense to me. Absolutely. It will make the gun nuts crazy. [ cuckoo clock chimes ] now that we have a democratic supermajority in california, there is a good chance this might pass. Stephanie then ill go out on a limb and say gun deaths will drop a lot. Once again absolutely no connection. All right, 58 minutes after the hour. Eric boehlert next with right wing next on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme ] stephanie Jacki Schechner bff in the current news center. Did you hear the compliments for my new gel nails . I told you stephanie i know it. For people who dont understand what this is, i want to explain. So instead of getting the regular manicure where you get your nails painted with regular polish. Stephanie it chips in a couple of days. It is a different kind of polish that they solidify with a uv light and it lasts two to three weeks. And ive been doing it for awhile. It doesnt do any damage to my nails. Stephanie im not a real girl. Normally like you and melissa. So i was like what . Okay, ill try it. It is good because melissa and i are rough on our hands too. I just introduced her to it. Stephanie im like a dockworker. I dont know what i do with my hands. Youre like a farmer. Stephanie like a migrant farmer. Im rough on my nails. Here in california, there are a lot of cheap nail places and they dont charge considerably more for it. Stephanie girl tips with Jacki Schechner. You dont get a lot of estrogen over there. Thought i would inject a little. Stephanie the girliest girl in the world, Jacki Schechner. Hardly. As steph mentioned, it is state of the union week. Tomorrow night the president s going to give his address to a joint session of congress and the American People. The most immediate issue is the upcoming sequestration that is the automatic spending cuts that are set to kick in march 1st unless the president and congress can work out a deal. Climate change, jobs Immigration Reform and new gun safety legislation all atop the president s domestic agenda. On the National Security front expect the president to bring up Global Nuclear arms reduction. In 2009, the Senate Approved a strategic arms reduction treaty with russia that would bring the Nuclear Arsenal from 1700 down to about 1550 when it comes to deployed weapons by the year 2018. New york times reports today says the white house goal is to get the number closer to 1,000 which would save us some money and not compromise our National Security. This week, the president also planning to issue a directive to combat cyberattacks. He would give companies that control the nations Critical Infrastructure access to a program thats designed to protect defense contractors. Also, he would require Government Agencies that find out about possible cyberattacks to report those to outside companies. The white house and outside supporters are planning an online outreach and Fundraising Campaign around the state of the union address. President s going to do a Conference Call with organizing for americas supporters after the state of the Union Tuesday night. Hes going to do a google hangout on line to answer questions on thursday. Were back after the break. Compelling true stories. Jack, how old are you . Nine.

Im walkin on sunshine ate time to feel good stephanie whatever manicure mr. Blackwell. He said i would go with a more subdued color next time. [ whatever ] what time would eric cantor picked. It is like you dipped your fingernails in peptobismol. Your fingers are going to be constipated now. Stephanie shut up. Guys hash tag obama quester seriously. That is supposed to be a thing . It sounds like a group of junior high focus groups threw their ideas in a hay bailer. Republicans. Same thing. [ applause ] you know im not just a woman. Im a podcast and an app. Tracy in new jersey. Im a podcaster subscriber. I have no fear of commitment. I buy a year in advance. 4. 95 a month if you buy a year in advance. If you have a fear of commitment, it is only 7. 95 a month. Kristin gets to see me live. Im a live show and a dessert topping. Im so excited to be returning to sexy liberal with my husband. April 13th, chicago theatre. Well be bringing some virgins. Stephanie ooh, sexy liberal virgins will be sacrificed at the show. [ applause ] theres no volcano. In cook county. In chicagoland. Greater chicagoland does not have any volcanos. At the present time. Stephanie its monday. You know what that means. Eric boehlert from media matters for america doing the lords work as usual. Eric boehlert hurts so good come on, baby Eric Boehlert lets dive into the rightwing world. I dont know what that means. Good morning, Eric Boehlert. Good morning. Stephanie can i just say my weekend as you know consists of a box of wine and Eric Boehlert tweets. This weekend however, every one of your tweets was spectacular i must say. Nra wants armed cops in 98,000 schools. Has the nra commented on the l. A. Cop terrorizing cops . It is the whole good guys, bad guys. It is such an embarrassingly unsophisticated way to go about gun control. If you have a gun and we like you, youre a good guy but stephanie it is a story about a good guy with a gun can become a bad guy with a gun. If you just look at the depressing laundry list of shooting victims every day you know america gun violence is basically american shooting relatives and boyfriends and girlfriends. That is a huge chunk of gun violence. And so how are you supposed to determine the good guys and bad guys . Theyre all good guys before they start shooting people, basically. Stephanie s as you allude to, until somebody gets drunk or angry. At any rate, you write it is odd how right wing views bush in a good way but defines obama in a bad way through the benghazi terror attacks. Incredible. Also tweeted this morning said Something Like call me crazy but i think the g. O. P. Is laying the ground work for benghazi to be the centerpiece of the 2016 campaign. Stephanie i heard someone in the drone discussion saying obama kept us safe and bush kept us safe except for that one time. It is amazing. The benghazi story wont go away. It has taken on such a larger than life it encompasses everything the right wing feels about obama and hes not like us. He doesnt protect us. It is about the sad scary incident of four americans who are killed in a terrorist attack. And it is just funny. I happened to be doing some research. I was going back and looking at some of the you know, coverage a decade ago from 911 and iraq war. And time and again you know, 911 was pointed to as bushs crowning achievement. This was something to be incredibly proud of. He stepped up. This was leadership. So allowing 3,000 americans to be killed by is leadership. Being associated with four americans in benghazi is an incredible failure on obamas part. It is just amazing. Stephanie the other great point you make is another benghazi hearing was it as informative as the one following the nine u. S. Embassies consulate attacks hash tag never mind. Theres just no context. Nine u. S. Embassies in consulate attacked during bush. If you want to go back further into context in an 18month period when reagan was president , three separate u. S. Embassies or barracks were attacked in beirut. Over 300 americans were killed. Not just the marines but others. Stephanie right. 18 months. After the third one reagan campaigned in iowa the next day. Reporters asked him did you think about not campaigning today. He said no. We need to campaign today. So you know, the double standard throughout history is so glaring and there were no hearings, of course, during the bush years when embassies and consulates were attacked. Most upset about benghazi are the people who voted for for embassy security. And the Republican Party everyone forgets about this now. That try to block the 911 commission investigation. Dick cheney was on the phone with daschle, with democrats saying this investigation is not going to happen. Yep. And now you know, we need 19 hearings. Stephanie by the way, so rubio obviously will give the response to the state of the union. In the last four years rubios been for Immigration Reform as Florida House speaker. Against it as florida candidate and for it now with florida senator hash tag courage. They have their next flipflopper to run for president. Hes on the cover of Time Magazine. The republican savior. I think theres one or two sentences, even passing references in that very soft time cover story about how rubio has evolved on immigration. Look, when he was when he was a republican speaker of the house in florida, he was very frankly liberal when it came to immigrations, not interested in these right wing talk about crackdowns. He ran for senate. Everything changed. He ran so far to the right of christie and now he decides well republicans cant win national election. He runs back to his previous position. Thats sort of the definition of classic flipflop. Traditionally. Is something to be held up as ridiculed. No, no no. Hes the republican savior. Hes smart. Hes savvy. Stephanie eric, before we dive into rightwing world speaking of disarray. As the g. O. P. Splits, whose side is fox news on. Is it is interesting. As a tv home base for rove in one of the earliest supporters of the tea partys crusade fox news has one foot planted in each of the warring camps and finds itself having to navigate the namecalling. They did part ways with sarah palin and dick morris but they signed up a tea party guy. Where are they in this interparty battle . He was having eric was having these war of words are karl rove and the tea party said karl rove is an elitist and hes out of touch. Where are they . Theyre right in the middle. My main point is this is not what fox does. Fox news is not designed to air out public hearings about what is the true meaning of conservativism. It is not, you know, this sort of open forum where everyone gets their point of view. Fox news is designed to, as a heat seeking missle to smear democrats. Thats how they get their good ratings, short term programming. Thats their sort of dna. I dont think fox is going to be doing a very good job in navigating a civil war because thats not what their viewers are interested in. But theres already rumblings on the right. The tea party with foxs Close Association with karl rove and how they allow this you know, this symbol of the republican elite to always be on fox and trash the tea party. So they you know, they are caught in the middle. Stephanie right. I dont think navigating it is going to do them any good. Stephanie it is like a right wing wacko kind of monster truck i dont know. Xxx games. Lets dive in. Xxx games . X games. Thats different. Stephanie thats entirely different. Okay. It is right wing porn. Look how awesome it is in color. I think karl needs to go through a metamorphosis. This idea that somehow a handful of republicans are going to attack republicans that the handful doesnt like i find that repulsive. I find it absolutely repulsive. This is not how you build a strong Republican Party. It is by going after the people in your party who are different than you are. This is frat ra side. If they want to render itself utterly irrelevant, the best way to do it is to become several little parties within the party. Stephanie that just illustrated your whole piece didnt it . It is funny. Now karl rove is starting to understand what it is like to be the target of this right wing noise machine. There was some posts online. Karl rove is lying. He never worked for the reagan campaign. And you know, now huckabee is do offing the namecalling. Mark levine was doing the namecalling. There is no rational discussion. If youre karl rove and you oppose these people, i think hes done it in a fairly highminded way you know, he hasnt done the namecalling. They just come back with attacks. Hes ruined not only is he ruining the party but you know, hes an elite. Hes lying about his record. Et cetera, et cetera. So it is always nice to when folks on the right actually goat appreciate and experience what its like to be the target of these right wing stephanie welcome to our world. Four years for karl rove. Stephanie all right bill crystal on fox news sunday. Democrats. This is not a matter of politics. This is going to gut our defenses. If you are responsible president , you dont have to save 45 billion this year. Thats 4 of the deficit. Were going to endanger our National Defenses and shortchange our servicemen and women overseas for the sake of cutting 4 from this years deficit . It is totally irresponsible. Stephanie wow. Deficits dont matter again. Thats a good point. Deficits are this you know, this sort of murderous ominous thing that is hanging over the generations and obama doesnt care about the future generations. There are actual cuts. But look, crystal he uses this card all the time. He wrote a column last week saying if democrats dont vote against chuck hagel theyre endangering our troops. We want to have some cutting that republicans claim we have to do, theyre endangering our troops. Stephanie all right. Hang on, eric remains in the side sidecar. We continue more rightwing world. It is the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer theres a tea party in her pants and youre invited. Call now. 1800steph12. With the know how we need for a new tomorrow.

Whoa, youve got best of my Stephanie Miller. Youve got best of Stephanie Miller. Stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. 22 minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number. Eric boehlert from media matters rejoins us for rightwing world. Oh, just in time for rush limbaugh. I remember being laughed at and mocked and being an extremist for predicting that definitions of family, what constitutes family is now wide open and pretty soon youre going to be able to marry your dog. Your dog is going to be an official member of the family, qualifies for benefits, people laughed and made fun of me. Here we go. Miamidavid circuit judge oks a plan for a gay guy and lesbian couple to be on a daughters birth seth even though one of the lesbians had nothing to do with it. So that equates people marrying their dogs . Stephanie where do the dogs come in there . Who let the dogs in . Stephanie can i marry max . If you dont see the connection, then you dont understand rushs world views. Wow. Stephanie all right. Ted nugent on world net daily radio. Thats gotta be a reasonable discussion. It really is a nation divided and its never been more divided. The racism that president obama and eric gunrunning holder promote is just heartbreaking. And its tragic. And those of us that know better have got to constantly expose their scams and their racist agenda. Stephanie oh, my god. Really . I havent heard that. Thats a new one. Well, two things. Theres a new interview out with a new republic with roger ailes mostly talking about what theyre going to do with immigration on the channel. But hes deploring about how obama has been trying to get poor people to hate rich people and blacks to hate whites. So this is definitely weve obviously heard this for four years. Obama is trying to start the race war. And now we have the chairman of fox news going on the record, you know, claiming that obama wants blacks to hate whites. Second part is why every time i turn on cnn am i seeing ted nugent . I know that interview was from a crazy right wing radio show. But last week, you know, he became like their inhouse gun expert. Come on. Stephanie eric, everyone deserves a spot at the table. No all right. Greg gutfield on the five. Every student should stick the expensive colleges on loans. They need to learn the obscure term thats called capitalism and they gotta pay for the fact theyve been churning out lazy, stupid marxists every four years. Puts social justice before payback alone. How do you solve this problem . You force all of the marxist professors to be in charge of debt collection. They gotta go out and if they dont get the loans back, they dont get their salaries. Thats my solution. Theyll become capitalists before you can say slimy little turd that guy is. Stephanie jim louise ward [ buzzer ] even though gutfield is not that old. He sounds like one of the classic, cranky old men on fox. The kids today coming out of college. They wonder why the average fox viewer is like 72 years old. Stephanie all right. We end with Chris Wallace and Mike Gallagher on the gallagher radio program. Nancy pelosi, well be talking to her about the president s agenda. Youll want to watch that. Can i give you some career advice. A little career advice. You want to continue in this business. Be a little rough on nancy pelosi please. Give people hope. I hope that means youre going to crucify oh really . Would you stop it . Throw a bucket of water on her and see what happens. Throw a bucket of water on her. Ill bet she melts. Stephanie wicked witch humor. Okay. You know, i know he makes the rounds to drum up business for the sunday show which is dead last and always has been. But you know, he appears on a show like thafnlt he appears oh, stop it. Why are you making those cracks . They do it all the time. Chris wallace is supposed to be the last sort of serious journalist in the fox news umbrella. It is just embarrassing. Stephanie all right. Well said. Eric boehlert for media matters. See you next week, honey. All right bye. [ applause ] we will be on next week. Next monday. I know is a holiday. Well be giving you a fresh live show. Stephanie enjoy. Sara in colorado. Good morning, folks. How are you doing . Caller your nails are pretty too if i can put my 2 cents in. I have a couple of things. I dont want to take up your time. I want to get somebody else. I have a few topics i would like to speak about. May i . Stephanie okay. Caller mother, may i . Stephanie yes, go ahead. Caller did you folks see dr. Carson the other day, the National Prayer breakfast . Stephanie no. Caller it has been a big thing. Did you see him . Stephanie no i did not. Caller did your other staff see him . He was right on target and he had obama squirming in his seat. When he was talking about. I was happy to see that. Stephanie what was he talking about . Caller he was talking about taxes, fairness, we should tithe and be fair. That weve got a definite that wont quit. Lets face it. Stephanie you mean deficit . Caller the deficit. Im sorry. Stephanie uhhuh. Caller the other thing in my Laundry Basket stephanie did the president say hes against tithing . Caller no, dr. Carson said that we should be tithing as opposed to this class warfare. Stephanie as opposed to paying taxes sure. That would work. Caller i dont know what the fair share is. Stephanie that wouldnt contribute to the deficit at all. If we didnt pay taxes we dont tithe. Not all of us go to church. Caller well, heres another thing i would like to say if i may. Stephanie run this one up your flagpole. Go ahead sara. Caller thank you. I was appalled. Please dont be angry with me because im neither republican or democrat. Stephanie youre an independent and you stumbled across my show. Caller yes, i am independent. I dont know if that means anything but stephanie, i was very appalled when Hillary Clinton said what difference does it make after four people have died. Stephanie that wasnt what she turn on fox news. That wasnt what she said. She didnt say what difference did it make if people died. Ill bet you shes a Small Business owner. 29 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Going to do the young turks. I think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. They know that im not bsing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. When the democrats are wrong, they know that im going to be the first one to call them out. They can question whether im right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. Oh look. Stephanie miller. Hello mr. Beaver. Stephanie howdy. It is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. 34 minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Jessica in maine, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome. Hello, jess. Caller hi. Stephanie hi, go ahead. Caller two things. One not so serious and one serious. Not as serious as how to get through nemo, go to a High School Reunion with friends and drink all weekend. But the serious thing is with the sequester when that goes into effect march 1st, it is not like the fiscal cliff that we went over for a day or two and backed off. Once it goes into effect, that means that i know a lot of people who work for the department of defense that all civilian employees will have to will only be allowed to work four days a week, take a 20 pay cut and that lasts through september 30th, the end of the fiscal year. Once it goes in, its done and theres no changing it. Stephanie mmhmm, yep. Caller all of these people you know, like people who got kids that they signed up for college and now they have to refile them because they got a whole lot less income and theyll still be expected to do all of the work theyre supposed to do, supporting, you know, the active duty military who are on 24 7 but theyre only allowed 32 hours a week. Stephanie absolutely. Good points, jess. Caller take care. Stephanie okay then, byebye. Lets go to jared in illinois. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hello, jared. Caller hey, how are you doing . Stephanie good. Go ahead. Caller ive heard so much about this deficit. Im a 24yearold professional myself. And im really glad that the president is doing and taking steps to help reduce the deficit but really, it is not 4 isnt going to make a difference. We spend more on our military defense than the top 20 nations combined. And it is unsustainable. I feel bad for the people who work at the department of defense or as they used to call it, the department of war because we use terms for warmongering instead of peace. It is unsustainable. My generation, the 24yearolds wont have Social Security or the safety net were paying into but taxes keep going up. I feel bad because theres literally and financially no way out of this deficit. It is unsustainable. 4 is a few drops in the bucket though. Once you get enough drops, you can empty the bucket. Caller the point of it is that president obama you know again hes making great strides. The president has inherited a lot of bad things but when youre looking at a 15 16 trillion and youre cutting a couple billion over ten years thats just paying the interest. It is like a mortgage on a house. If you have 150,000 loan and youre only paying the minimum payments, youre going to be stuck on that and youre never going to be able to pay it off. Defense cuts are one part of a bunch of things. Stephanie obviously, thats why tax on Social Security. Stephanie revenue from taxes. It is not doable without that. Our friend paul krugman was on yesterday. As well, saying once again, this is the austerity is the absolute last thing you should do right now. Pentagon cuts should not be off the table. Stephanie roberta in washington, d. C. Hello, roberta. Caller hi, how are you . Stephanie good. Go ahead. Caller i was calling in. I enjoy your show for well, about a year or so ago we discovered you. Any way, just wanted to let you know that we have come up with an idea to defend against republicans. It is a mirror. Hold it up to all republicans speaking and know that what they say reflects back on them. It is them theyre talking about. Stephanie it is the i know you are but what am i strategy. Caller thats exactly it. They simply everything they say about democrats or independents really is what applies to them. Stephanie yep. Caller thats pretty much what my defense mechanism and im here in the land of taxation without representation. Stephanie d. C. Oh you seem happy giddy about it. Im going to give you a 50 pro flowers gift card for your trouble. Caller thank you, stephanie. We love you. Stephanie hang on. 50 pro flowers gift card. If youre looking for flowers for valentines day on thursday. Type in stephanie. Do it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Stephanie rightwing world. Dont tell fox news they have a picture of a lesbian couple for gender roles. It looks like a dude. It is two chicks. Thats great. Stephanie fox news column about traditional gender roles in marriages accidentally with a photograph of two lesbian newlyweds exchanging a kiss. Fox news. Com column written by suzanne banker. The niece of phyllis. Previous author, remember that column jacki and i talked about. All womens fault there is a battle of the sexes. That girl. Her latest column titled to be happy. The men and women are not equal. They have no idea whos to do what because of feminists who preach a new way of thinking about gender. Then the picture of the aforementioned lesbian brides kissing. [ nah nah nah nah nah ] lovely tuxedo shes wearing though. Stephanie oops [ laughter ] lee in oregon, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi lee. Caller good morning, stephanie. I would like to bring up one point that i havent heard yet about the post office. Stephanie uhhuh. Caller we know about the prefunding of retirement. We know about having to stick to cost of living and no more in raises. But we also what we dont talk about is that when postal workers start being laid off say the first 25,000, then we are going to start paying taxes for their unemployment insurance. Stephanie right. Caller when we start laying off postal workers then it will start costing us taxes which it doesnt now. Stephanie thats a good point. I dont understand the republicans obsession with destroying the post office. Which is mandated by the constitution. Stephanie pretty good deal by the way. 42 centss to send a letter. Oh, honey. Bless your heart. 46 or 47 cents now. Stephanie right. Its gone up a few times. [ magic wand ] people who live in rural areas you hand it to travis. Stephanie i give him s h green stamps. S m green stamps. Stephanie bless my heart. [ wah wah ] [ world news tonight ] president obamas nominee would be the first to openly gay federal court of appeals judge. Sweet. Stephanie since taking Office President obama has quadrupled the number of gay benches on his gay judges on his bench. In his first term, although never mind just saying, didnt justice suitor live with his mom . [ buzzer ] okay. In his first term, president obama nominated openly gay attorney Edward Dumont to serve on the United States court of appeals for the federal circuit but dumont eventually withdrew his nomination after 18 months of one or more members of the Senate Judiciary committee republicans, obstructing his confirmation. Yesterday, president took another shot at placing an openly gay judge nominating todd hughes to fill a seat on the federal circuit. [ applause ] yea somebody who should have made rightwing world today is joe walsh. Stephanie no. Tea party guy from illinois who lost. Going after Michelle Obama for attending the funeral of pendleton. Heartbroken with quotation marks. I guess the other 553 murder victims didnt break her heart. Stephanie hes just a jerk. You are an idiot ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha he farted. Stephanie seriously, you know what . There is a family in pain. Really . You need to tweet about that subject . Because yeah. Okay. The girl just performed at the inaugural parade. Hes claiming that Michelle Obamas politicizing it. Wow. Look in the mirror, pal. Stephanie all right. I was mentioning this earlier. [ world news tonight ] oddly, coincidentally, the state with the most amount of guns and the laxest gun laws somehow have the highest per capita gun deaths. Weird. Proof they dont have enough guns. Stephanie a group of California Senate democrats rolled out a regulation that would be the tightest gun regulation in the nation. Fun facts. Number one ban all semiautomatic weapons that have detachable magazines. Ban possession of highcapacity magazines. Ban bullet conversion kits. Ban universal register require universal registration. Prohibit individuals from living in homes with guns. Cracking down on people who cant own guns legally but do anyway and require Safety Training for handgun owners. Oh the battle makes the gun nuts crazy. [ applause ] stephanie we were saying this is the headline is democrats hug Second Amendment while rolling out gun plan. Members of the House Democratic Gun Violence Task force put a heavy manufacture sis on gun emphasis on gun recommendations. I think there is this aftershock of having to be afraid of the Second Amendment. Love my gun. Speaking directly to hunters to telling the personal story of a family defended from roving bans of racist thugs. They promise they wont touch it as they work to reduce gun violence after the newtown connecticut, school massacre. I really think they should enforce the third amendment. There is rampant housing of red coats and that needs to stop. Stephanie jesse in South Carolina youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hello, jess. Jesse . Okay. Joe in minnesota. Hi joe. Caller hi. Yeah, im just a little kind of irritated with your young professional that calls who keeps saying how services go down and our taxes go up when, in fact, our taxes are the lowest theyve been since well before that idiot was even born. Stephanie thank you. That professional idiot. All right. 45 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer shes the life of the Democratic Party. Ignore the lampshade.

[ applause ] stephanie okay, got it. Donna in kansas. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi donna. Caller hi. You were wondering awhile ago about why the republicans were going after the post office. It is because they want to destroy the postal Workers Union. Stephanie there is also some antiunion thing in there isnt there . Caller yeah. Postal Workers Union is one of the strongest in government. And well, republicans are just trying to destroy unions. Thats why nobody was happy on the republican side when obama saved the autoworkers. Stephanie absolutely. Youre the smartest girl in class. Guess what you get. Sherries berries. Giant freshly dipped berries. Type in the code stephanie. Theyre ginormous. Like a babys first or a really large brussels sprouts. Only theyre a million times better. Especially with the decorative drizzle. Stephanie fershizzle. We were talking to Eric Boehlert. Can fox news break its fatal embrace with the Republican Party . It is just so much fun the disarray stories. She writes in the guardian after a decade of phenomenal ratings growth, they face a crisis of ideological identity. Recent headlines about fox news have given liberals gleeful shots. Lowest since 2001. The marriage between the network and party has been almost entirely beneficial to both entities working together brazenly even explicitly so has been a message for the brand. It is a love story gone wrong. Isnt it sad . Morris and palin suggest fox is loosening its grip and attempting to edge away from the tea party based ideology but almost simultaneously, republicans have been thinking about breaking away from their dependence on the network. It is a whos breaking up with who network. How are the different demographics going to know you if you dont reach out to them. No matter who may be ending the marriage first extricating the relationship wont be graceful. Stephanie there will be drunk dialing and drunk emails in the middle of the night. Throw cds on to the front porch. Stephanie probably every morning, there is a drunken message from Clarence Thomas wife. Positive feedback spirals into irrelevance, republicans pursue a Conspiracy Theory that only fox airs. New information gets hammered into a shape that fits the existing narrative. Oh, how will it all end . Another love story gone wrong. Speaking of love stories gone wrong, i think taylor swift has jumped the snark. Mocking harry styles, her recent from one direction. Mocking sort of quasibritish accent. Then there was katy perrys boobs. Slow motion carpet commercial. No youre going to end up as a song. Dont Stephanie Jesse its a cookbook. [ laughter ] Stephanie Jesse in North Carolina. Hi jess. Caller hey steph. Stephanie hello. Caller two quick things. First of all, post office, they continue to do this. What theyre really doing is disenfranchising the community. The only way post office can continue to maintain supremacy is to enforce a monopoly. Thats the only way they can compete against fedex and u. P. S. Stephanie did you know that fedex uses the post office for some of their deliveries. They do. Imagine the irony there. Second of all i just want to say that you know, i saw your show last year. I loved it. I love you and im mildly obsessed with you. Uhoh. Stephanie who . Oh me. Awesome. I will settle for a gift card instead. Stephanie im all out today but try again tomorrow. Caller no. Tomorrow . Well give away two more tomorrow. Stephanie john in st. Louis, hello john. Caller hi, stephanie. How is it going . Stephanie good. Caller i want to get your take on the administrations rationalization of strikes overseas on american citizens. Stephanie uhhuh. What about it . Caller i apologize. I havent really stephanie you stumbled upon the show . Caller yeah, i listen to a lot of conservative radio. [ hypnotic ] stephanie youre an independent and you listen to both sides. Robert gates on the drone situation. First of all, the numbers i believe are extremely small. And second, you do have the ability to limit that Collateral Damage more than with any other Weapon System that you have. Stephanie hello stephanie. Im an independent. Ive stumbled across your show and i said the same thing when george bush was doing it. I wonder how you would answer on this issue. Ill take your answer off air. Liberals are upset about it. Actual liberals. Stephanie senator john mccain. Since when is the Intelligence Agency supposed to be an air force of drones that goes around killing people . I believe it is a job for the department of defense. Good point. Stephanie that could be. The c. I. A. Has been out of control in the past. But as far as Weapons Systems go it does produce a lot less Collateral Damage than a missile. They use hell fire missile drones. Stephanie thats what we were saying, the gun nuts think thats the only regulation. We should all be able to have a drone. Theyre upset with julian for reporting the killings of the journalists. They thought people shouldnt be allowed to see that. I think we should. We have to know what were paying for. Stephanie oh, by the way. Wheel of right wing hypocrites. Stephanie ron paul wants ronpaul. Com so badly. Hes asking the u. N. , which hes against, for help. Against his own supporters. A group behind the site announced he filed a complaint with the intellectual property organization, a global governing body, an agency at the u. N. To expropriate the two domain names from his supporters. That is fabulous [ laughter ] he tried to use the free market. He didnt like the price he was offered then he went to the u. N. [baby crying] i want to get rid of the fire department. Oh, my house is on fire. Why wont you put it out . Stephanie 58 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme ] stephanie hello current tv world. Hour number three. Jacki schechner. Good morning. Stephanie did you see the subject youre not helping. Jacki schechner piece was that suzanne, the fox news writer. It is always womens fault. The battle of the sexes and blah blah, blah. She wrote a piece on traditional marriage and she accidentally included a picture of a lesbian couple. I saw the picture online. I didnt know that that was attached to another gem by her. Stephanie it was two lesbians at their wedding picture. I did see the picture. Somebody put it on facebook. That was fabulous. Stephanie anything to be a fly on the wall when she found that out. [ screaming ] stephanie there is a picture of a that has to be a fox mistake. A fox. Com mistake. She wouldnt have chosen the photo for that. Stephanie theyre so rare, the fox mistakes. That would have been an editorial mistake on the fox. Com side. Couldnt happen to a better woman as far as im concerned. Stephanie Jacki Schechner in the current news center. Good morning, everybody. Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords is now narrating and starring in a new tv ad that will air on National Cable this week. And in the four states in districts with the top four congressional leaders, that would be those of senators reed and mcconnell and representatives boehner and pelosi. Americans for responsible solutions is behind the ad. Thats the super pac that giffords and her husband mark kelly started to advocate for new gun safety legislation. In the ad, giffords says where we shop, pray and our kids go to school and there are solutions that everyone, even gun owners like them can agree on like universal background checks. Take it from me. Congress must act. Lets get this done. Giffords is still recovering from being shot in the head on january 2011 at a campaign event. The senate is expected to pass the reauthorization of the violence against women act either this afternoon or tomorrow. The final version includes provisions that would expand protections to gay people, undocumented immigrants and native americans. The House Republicans are stalling and theres no indication that they plan to move forward on the bill. And esquire magazine has interviewed the navy seal who shot osama bin laden. Protecting his identification. Now online indefinitely worth a read. Not only details the mission but also the challenges he is facing now that hes left the service after 16 years. He fell short of the 20 years that were required to hit official retirement. Those challenges include the fact that he no longer has Health Insurance. That stops the day he left. Were back with more after the break. Stay with us. vo next, current tv is the place for compelling true stories. Jack, how old are you . Nine. This is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like. vo with Award Winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines, way inside. vo from the underworld, to the world of privilege. Everyone in Michael Jacksons life was out to use him. vo no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. What we need are people prepared for the careers of our new economy. By 2025 we could have 20 million jobs without enough College Graduates to fill them. Thats why at Devry University were teaming up with Companies Like cisco to help make sure everyones ready with the know how we need for a new tomorrow. [ male announcer ] make sure americas ready.

Oh davis from North Carolina writes how will it end . The fox g. O. P. War. You just read from an article from annmarie cox that ended with the question how will it end . Im guessing it will be like war of the roses. Dick morris will be crushed under a giant chandelier. Sarah palin is on top of the chandelier. Okay. It is a love letter for hal. Kathy writes how can you sit so close to hal sparks every wednesday and not get tingly all over. Stephanie i do. Thats the day i go to questioning. I just saw him at the icehouse. He is dreamy.

Mary in tucson, mama, forwarding a copy of what just appeared on the list of daily coast. It praises Stephanie Miller. I know you describe your show as a mensa meeting with farther folks but understand what you and the mooks dont is important. You bring comfort to folks who are facing a variety of situations. This is powerful because it makes us feel stronger. Somebody named boilerman. Very cute. One day current tv picked up Stephanie Miller. It was like a magnificent dawn and a blast of fresh air. [farting sounds] fresh methane. Stephanie very sweet. He writes Stephanie Miller has helped me and her crew have helped me in dealing with my cancer, taking my mind off the problem. I thank her so much. Whether it is providing politics or tomfoolery or having judy reminding us it could happen. It could happen. Stephanie or running gags with chris and jacki and tales of her lonely life which sounds pretty damn active to me both active and lonely john fuglesang, hal sparks various calls that make the call a blast to listen to and it helps an old man with cancer. We love you [ applause ] stephanie by the way have i reminded you im not just a woman, im an app. Youre awoman. [ world news tonight ] sid in santa rosa, i had such a good time with you in vegas. You can take me anywhere with you. Im a podcast im an app. Im a contraceptive foam. You didnt bug me. Stephanie apparently we had a great time in vegas. You dont go to vegas a lot. Stephanie no but my app does. I cant picture you in vegas. Stephanie i hate vegas. I dont have the stomach for it. I lost a quarter in a slot machine once. Im like im out. Theres other stuff to do there. Stephanie really . All right. Rocky Mountain Mike by the way. Weve been having an ongoing debate about zero dark thirty like most movies, i fell asleep in the first ten minutes isnt i cant render a full opinion. Rocky Mountain Mike said i think the movie clearly shows information that was very indirect in the discovery of bin ladens whereabouts. Great movie making. He agrees with highstrung sexy liberal tour director, roland. I think if you have it on in the background as noise while youre cleaning the house or something, you might come to a conclusion that we got the information from torture. But if you look at it as if you look at it with some seriousness stephanie i have to watch the whole thing and stay awake because as someone pointed out to me this weekend, i go to bed at the same time as babies and milk men. Except all of the milk men retired 30 years ago. Stephanie one night i was particularly tired. My friend was like my friends are still at work. Really . Youre going to bed . [ wah wah ] very sad. Okay. Okay. [ world news tonight ] this is just a couple of quick stacks. I guess it is trial stacks. I hate when this happens jim. Mans prosthetic eye falls out during trial. Judge declares mistrial. Oh stephanie if youre wondering how to get a mistrial, that would work. Ill never forget do you remember the caller i had on the evening show a thousand years ago. The guy whose eyes calcified and fell out of his head. Stephanie stephanie, both of my eyes have been calcified and have fallen out of my head. I didnt know that was possible. Stephanie during an assault trial a mans prosthetic eye fell from his eye. He testified about losing his left eye in a fight. He began to cry. It caused the glass eye to he luckily caught the eye. Good reflexes. Good handeye coordination. [ circus ] several jury members rose. Okay. I gotta im out. I got a thing with an eye. [ laughter ] stephanie i should have done that during my brief you know appearance in court on my dog off a leash ticket to see if i could get out of that. Youre really going to give me a ticket . Hes a seeing eye okay. This one if youre eating, i would stop now. Okay. [ world news tonight ] jesse from iowa sends me husband stack for you. You know your mother loves you when shes willing to smuggle oxycodone where youre incarcerated especially when she passes the pills via an openmouth kiss. I just think im going to barf. Wait until you see the pictures. Blah this is what the investigators allege transpired when she visited her offspring in upstate new york. Her son was being held follows a weapons arrest according to the sheriffs report she put the objection joy codoan pills in her mouth and brought them into the jail. She passed two pills from her mouth to her sons mouth when she kissed him. She could have been carrying them somewhere else. I guess. Stephanie deputies did not indicate whether tongue was [ buzzer ] was involved in the transfer. One would expect because you would need to push the pills out and put them into another. The tongue would be used for that. Stephanie sorry. All right. Sorry. Naked handstands. Stephanie tony in North Carolina, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi tony. Hello, tony. Caller how you doing . Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i think it should become a part it cant be a winwin for the Democratic Party because they have to come away with a packet and theyre going to give the president everything he wants so i think the Republican Party in the Bigger Picture i think theyll admit the Bigger Picture. If it goes through, they have to come up with it. And theyre going to get the Democrat Party and everything he wants at the end of the day. Stephanie i think so, too. As people keep pointing out there was an election and there was an election and everything David Gregory says, yeah and there was an election. Okay. Anyone, all of those issues. Okay. Steve in North Carolina. Hi steve. Welcome. Caller hi, stephanie. Long time fan first time caller. Your screener asked me just to throw one question. The first one is an easy one. If i could sneak the second one in, i would love it. Why doesnt anybody at these conferences when senator graham makes these statements, hell say who voted to lower the funds to protect our embassies . Simple yes or no. Did you vote against for this to thing to lower the funds . And the other thing quickly stephanie Hillary Clinton got that in, didnt she . She tried to. They were on top of her all the time. The other thing is i do rightwing world, down here, we have someone named doug gel et who is rational. He had a speaker on named bridget from america. Org. And i mean she had a little bit of an accent, very articulate. She went off on where was obama born and the support of the muslims and he must be a muslim. Have you ever heard of america. Org . Stephanie no. I have not. Im guessing it is some right wing whack thing. James in santa fe, new mexico, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome. Caller hi. I live in santa fe and i listen to both left wing and right wing radios. [ hypnotic ] caller im a gun owner. I found the fact that my city governor is sponsoring a taxpayer gun buyback to be offensive. Stephanie why would it be offensive . Dont sell yours back then. Caller with my taxpayer my City Government is paying for the obstruction of the constitution. Stephanie no, theyre not. It is optional. You dont have to sell your gun back. Caller i dont have to sell my gun back but what it simultaneously does is wastes money that could be used for Something Else and makes us gun owners look like a bunch of criminals. Stephanie james i just did a story today. Literally all of the states with the most guns and the most lax gun laws have the highest per capita gun deaths. You dont think theres any connection that maybe less some less guns in a buybacks accomplish that, that doesnt help in some way . Caller google this. The number one safest city in the city has the laxest gun laws el paso texas. Stephanie has the laxest . Where did you get these statistics . Just google it. No, im asking you where you got the statistics. Stephanie youre saying it is the safest city . Whats your point . Caller youre saying that basically places that i dont know like l. A. That has a lot of gun control is a safe city . It has no crime. Stephanie no. Im saying per capita per capita, it is quite a bit smaller than l. A. Google it. Stephanie okay. Well, ive never been told that quite so aggressively. Just saying, a red sox rookie just shot himself. Red sox prospect bryce prince, oh dear, he actually shot himself. He was at home in tennessee cleaning a gun. Hes going to be fine but he did in fact oh, son of a bitch i just [ bleep ] shot myself i just [ bleep ] shot myself i just [ bleep ] shot myself i think if youre going to own guns, you should be able to tell when there are no bullets in it. That step might be good. Stephanie can i just just briefly, i have to read a little of this. Steph, this message i copy and pasted below was in my email. This is the stuff thats out here. Conspiracy stuff. Overwhelming evidence has surfaced to prove that sandy hook is a hoax. The cnn helicopter footage was set somewhere else. The quoteunquote grieving parents are joyful during their interviews. What . Stephanie early footage from the earliest hours that makes it impossible for emergency vehicles to operate. Come on stephanie 19 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer taking back god. Taking back the flag.

Im new at this. 24 minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Greg, i believe is engaging in some snark. Hello, stephanie im an independent caller. Im disappointed with obamas lack of bipartisan by nominating only a few posts that are republicans and the one token george w. Bush nominated to get the senate seat up. Clearly, if he was bipartisan, why dont we have enough republican folk on the talk shows. Can we add more . Stephanie i get it. It is snark. [ applause ] mike in florida youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi mike. Caller how you doing . Stephanie good. Caller im be honest. I grew up in new york. And in the 60s, the dope came into the neighborhoods. It affected everybody and it also i had a friend of mine that sold dope in new york. He gave me a list of the judges and lawyers he was paying off. The same thing in congress. You trust a politician and today, the ends justify the means. And they get they dont serve the people. All they worry about is the next election. Stephanie who is the dope dealer in this analogy . Caller why did you go into the army . I want to get an education and job security. We went in there to serve the country. They dont do that. Stephanie can we go back to the dope analogy . Who was the dope dealer . Caller hello. Stephanie all right. Im guessing they drummed him out they drummed you right out. You come crawling back to broadway. Broadway doesnt go for booze and dope now you get out of my way because i have a man waiting for me i guess broadway wasnt one of the neighborhoods that had the dope. Stephanie the dope. The dope came into the neighborhoods. Stephanie i havent heard that expression in quite some time. [ world news tonight ] stephanie my new friend from the Charlotte Airport delivered a warning to the Republican Party in a letter to supporters urging him to come around when it came to the Immigration Reform as part of the process. A party that appears to ignore people wont get a chance to make a case for the principles, any of them. They wont be ignored apparently politically, the hispanics. Thats a problem for them. Im not going to be ignored. Stephanie gingrich slammed mitt romney for his immigration policy saying statements like his much maligned call for selfdeportation contributed to the losing support among communities of color. Communities of euphemism. Stephanie well looky here. Senator mark begich a democrat in a republicanleaning alaska is sure to be targeted by republicans in 2014. It is a must pickup if they hope to control the congresss up err chamber. It is showing surprising strength in popularity. He has a 49 job approval rating. 39 disapproval and a big big lead 54 to 38 over former governor sarah palin. [ wah wah ] she quits. Stephanie to be very unpopular on the homefront. 34 of voters positively to 59 with a negative opinion. [ wah wah ] only one politician is less popular. Joe miller, the tea party guy. Begich would wipe the floor with miller. Apparently sarah palin did call the vatican and say how is that popey changey thing working out for you . [ circus ] it is a joke. Rocky Mountain Mike wrote. I do not understand what you mean. Im german. [ world news tonight ] stephanie as we know, fox news gave her the ole heaveho along with dick morris. Gave her the heisman. Stephanie right. Dick morris removal from fox news. On account of gross electoral wrongness. Morris unveiling the hes reinventing himself as a republican moderate. [ magic wand ] he said im trying to explore ways in which the Republican Party can win National Elections without sacrificing its basic principles. Im guessing not with you. Stephanie wow. Yeah, thats his latest magical transformation. I predict republicans will win next year in a landslide. Stephanie because of him saving the Republican Party with his new ideas. Yeah, like running conde rice as president. Buy my book. Conde versus hillary. Hes the wrongiest wronger in the history of wrong. Stephanie jacki joins us. Weve got celebrity stack. Weve got stuff. Stay tuned. The Stephanie Miller show. Surprise your house was built on an ancient burial ground. [ ghosts moaning ] surprise your car needs a new transmission. [ coyote howls ] how about no more surprises . Now you can get all the online Trading Tools you need without any surprise fees. Its not rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. Announcer Stephanie Miller. If i ever take up roller derby, what do you think my name should be in bruisin b. Anthony, alicia sleaze . How about harl et owe scare ra. Thats genius stephanie this is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. 1800steph12. Stephanie good morning Jacki Schechner. Good morning. Stephanie okay, you know like we always bring you weird things from the interwebs. Of course. Stephanie chris found a new one. Text from a dog. In all caps it says knock bin over, drag some stuff. Angry cow. Red bull . Probably. Brain feels all electricky. Lie down. Been burying stuff. What stuff . Microwave and stuff. [ laughter ] [ applause ] i want a text from max and fred now. Stephanie this is really the right wing fringe of the interwebs conspiracy stuff is really jacki, i was reading some of this. Somebody sent me. It really the stuff thats out there about the gun nut thats like could you be less specific . Stephanie we were talking about the stuff saying that sandy hook is a hoax. Thank you. Stephanie it is incredible. I assume you listen to every word i say. Yes absolutely. Every morning. Did you Say Something . Stephanie they write inspite of this, many people believe the tv version of the sandy hoax drama. Thats what theyre calling it. It is a hoax. Tell that to the parents of the kids who are dead. It is crazy to believe that sandy hook is a hoax. This is an irrational, emotional response. I dont understand. How do you turn okay, go ahead. Emotional response to having your kids shot in the face. How do you turn a tragedy into a conspiracy . Stephanie it is a gun grabber conspiracy. We shot dead 26 people including 20 children because we want to pass new gun laws . It makes sense. Stephanie the beginning of it is overwhelming evidence has surfaced to prove sandy hook is a hoax. Helicopter footage supposed to show children escaping from the school obviously set somewhere else. Blah, blah blah. They say it is overwhelming. Stephanie highcapacity magazines are important for fighting mignons and deterring a foreign enemy invasion. How disturbing and thats so disturbing on a thousand levels. Stephanie the ignorance of a public makes tyranny possible. Many people believe the sandy hook, this amazing feat of ignorance can only be explained by a mental disorder. This type of mass psychosis has fueled the public support of murderers, dictators like hitler. Once you get to hitler, im out. [ applause ] i think when we expand our Mental Health records, we should include the people who believe that was a hoax. Should be the first person on the list. Stephanie exactly. So by the way somebody was oh, Eric Boehlert, we were talking about the nra, their only solution is more good guys with guns, i guess. More policemen in the schools. We were talking about this thing going on out here. The cop on the loose out here. The story is incredible. They havent made any progress yet really. As far as we can tell. The guy is still on the run. Stephanie we were saying that apparently theyre thinking about a drone now. Which may going to totally harsh some snow borders. It is a drone with cameras. In the latest news, i heard that they found some weaponry in the burned out truck and the truck had a broken axle which is likely why he burned it. I think there was a sighting of him at a lowes in north ridge . It was a false sighting. Yes, they did kind of put the store on lockdown and nobody was allowed to leave and they did that. Stephanie have you heard the only in hollywood angle for this . Charlie sheen to alleged los angeles cop killer, call me. You know what . Cnn did that, too. Im not sure who it was because i was listening to the radio in the car. Someone on cnn said by the way christopher dorner, you should come to cnn and talk to us. Thats the way to get your story out. What . Im going to have to find the clip. Stephanie cnn is desperate these days. Well have to leave it there. Im trying to remember who it was. They made an offer for dorner to come with the story. Stephanie Charlie Sheen released an online video urging urging apparently he was named in the guys manifesto. Christopher dorners manifesto. In a rambling online statement in which he threatened asymmetrical warfare he described sheen as fing awesome. Brief video posted at tmz Charlie Sheen, you mentioned me in your manifesto. Im urging you to call me. Lets figure out how together to end this thing. It is not fair to call im not standing up for dorner but the manifesto was not rambling. It was actually it was actually very wellwritten and coherent. It is not the ramblings it is not the rambling of a mad man and theres no logic to it. It made sense. Thank you. It made sense in that it was a coherent story. It doesnt make sense in that hes a crazy person and hes killing people. Yeah. But obviously, you know, you cant say it was sort of this weird rambling diatribe. Thats not what it was. Stephanie well, to be fair, true to Charlie Sheen his interventions with Lindsay Lohan is doing very well. Heres other things that seem like a bad idea. Joe arpaios posse had a special guest. Steven segal as they tackled training scenarios in the event of a school shooting. They conducted their training at an Elementary School to simulate conditions of the attack. You have joe arpaio and steven segal. Steven segal has posse training how . Stephanie hes on a reality show called lawmen. Theyre training kids to respond . Theyre training posse members to respond to hanging out at Elementary Schools . Stephanie some of joe arpaios criminal posse members. That seems like a good idea. Im out of words at this point. [ world news tonight ] stephanie in other Celebrity News gawker brings us the news today. Nelson mandela is a fan of toddlers and tiaras. Did you see that . I did not see the headline. Im sort of a closet fan too. Stephanie are you really . I dont dvr it. My insomnia brought honey booboo. Joe mchale says mrs. Booboo looks like a thumb. All head and neck. It is the same width. [ laughter ] stephanie heres the only Silver Lining in this story. There is a new reality show. Nelson mandela does not appear in it. Thank god. Saturday night live, they did a parody of all of the reality shows on bravo. It was like everybody has a show. Yes. Stephanie millers neighbors mailman has a show. Stephanie all right. One last one gawker brings us mariah carey is so weird rich and drunk she celebrates christmas in february. I love the crazy mariah. Shes my favorite. She posted almost three minutes of herself listening to herself specifically, her rendition this would be like me drunk listening to my podcast. Seriously, when i hit there it is time to put me out of my misery. Stephanie she listened to oh, come all ye faithful and celebrating christmas in february. She shows off a Christmas Tree recently purchased in connecticut and roaring fire and decorations. She wishes everyone a merry christmas. Why does she have a Christmas Tree in february . You buy that in december. There are no Christmas Tree lots in february. Oh, thats valentines sign i saw in l. A. A sign on the 99 cent store that says your valentines headquarters. Oh. Stephanie cheapskate. Here, honey, i got you a sponge. [ laughter ] a gift from the dollar store you better look for a new valentine. Have some offbrand comet. [ laughter ] stephanie heres a spatula. I love you. Are we having a loser party, all of us . Not you jim. Youre married. Thursday night. I dont go out on thursday night. Stephanie at least we have an excuse for being losers. I will be asleep at 7 00. Stephanie like babies and milk men. Love you, Jacki Schechner. Love you guys, too. Stephanie happy valentines day. All right. Ed in new york, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi ed. Caller hey, stephanie. Longtime viewer and firsttime caller. Stephanie yes. Caller love your show. You people crack me up. Stephanie thank you. Caller just regarding the post Office Crisis the alleged crisis, it seems to me that somebodys going to Great Lengths to soften up the post office and make it look like it cant be profitable like no matter how much postage you pay theyll never be able to get it right. What do you think might be the motive . Do you think maybe somebody wants to turn this over to the private sector . Stephanie ed, we were talking about that earlier. Theres always some antiunion thing in republican stuff. And post office is famous for hiring a lot of africanamericans, too. So there could be that component as well. Stephanie diane in lansing, michigan, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi diane. Caller hi, stephanie. Im so glad i stumbled upon your show. I have an issue with the gentleman who called about the gun buyback program. He said that taxes pay for that. Well, in my state they have people donate to that. They dont pay taxes for that. Stephanie okay. Interesting. Caller i dont know what some jurisdictions it is taxpayer funded. Some, its not. Caller okay. I just wanted to make that clear. Stephanie thank you for that. Appreciate it. Here in los angeles, if you sell back your gun you get a 100 gift card to ralphs. Stephanie and a 99 cent store spatula. Offbrand comet. Stephanie jerry in sacramento. Caller hello stephanie. I just wanted to sound a little paul revere warning here. I know were giggly about how the republicans are killing themselves nationally but locally, theyre winning the battle. Were fighting to keep our schools open here in sacramento. Theyre closing 15 im sorry. Theyre closing 11 Elementary Schools, displacing 4,000 kids at a perfectly good school, theyre profitable. No reason to close these except the superintendent of schools hired as his chief of staff, the head of the local Charter School industry and our mayor is married to Michelle Reed who is the goddess of privatization of schools. And so this is all local stuff. I think people need to make sure that were not too distracted by all of the bright, shiny stuff out of washington and forget were losing our neighborhoods. Like i said, theres no reason why these kids are being kicked out of their schools. Theyre decimating neighborhoods. Stephanie privatize everything. Thats the answer. You know what . Lets worry about the roads. Make your own private roads wherever you want to go. It is up to you. Toll road. Stephanie okay. As soon as you get off your driveway, you pay a toll. Imagine paying a toll every five feet . Good lord. Stephanie 46 minutes after the hour. Right back with the remaining moments of the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer theres something funny going on in talk radio. Its the Stephanie Miller show. vo from the underworld, to the world of privilege. Everyone in Michael Jacksons life was out to use him. vo no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. [ male announcer ] start with a groundbreaking car. Good. Then invent an entirely new way to buy one. No. No. No. Yes a website that works like a wedding registry. But for a car. First, you customize it. Then let people sponsor the cars parts as gifts. Dad sponsors the engine for your birthday. Grandma sponsors the rims for graduation. The car gets funded. Then you pick up your new dodge dart at the dealership.
