Stephanie jim, dont be droopy, lots of things are coming here for production caller yeah. Stephanie what is the company that Just Announced caller i had another comment too. Stephanie yeah, go ahead. Caller the mormon money going into you know, trying to prevent people from getting married. I just want republicans to think of all of the kids of gay people, think of their familiar list as normal and they need respect, and talk about if you dont want though government controlling your life, its nobodys business to little kids who have gay parents. Thats their parents. Stephanie yeah. There are two people who have raised four kids together. And when you see them together you think who could possibly not want this family to be a family. Caller they spend so much time reassuring their kids. Life is fair and this is equality, if you want equality you teach your kid that and then it really for the child of that comes from a family like that, when they hear other people put it down they are confused. They just see it as not accepting. But mormons are brainwashed into giving their money to fight stuff like that. If they dont want government in their lives they should to each his own. Snee thank you. All right. Thank you. Okay. [ inaudible ] [ laughter ] where our Union Soldiers [ inaudible ] stephanie wow, wee chris you are entitled to make seven or eight more mistakes now. Thats from the ladys International Garment workers union. Stephanie yeah, i remember that. The president railed against right to work laws that republicans are trying to pass in michigan arguing they are a race to the bottom. Right to work for peanuts. Stephanie thats right. What we shouldnt be doing is trying to take away rights for better working conditions. Everything state that has these laws, everything is worse. Because nobody has any money to buy anything. Stephanie thank you. Mickey, you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller i have a couple of questions, when a politician leaves office, whether they are voted out or retire. What kind of package do they get when they leave . And also why can the congress and senate can vote on their own pay increases but get give only a minimum wage to the American People . Why dont we get to vote on that . Why dont the American People get to vote on whether they get increase in wages. Stephanie yeah, and some of the rightwing politicians dont even want a minimum wage. I wont pay it stephanie exactly. Lets go to richard in houston. Caller hey, stephanie. First time caller here and i love your show. Why do everybody seem so surprised when the rightwingers keep pulling these stunts . Stephanie yeah. Caller it kills me when i see people lined up in the streets, rain and snowing, and they are protesting away these people do not care for us why have we started voting these people into office. Stephanie yeah. Caller i get so mad seeing this ona daily basis. Stephanie thats the thing boehner is claiming a mandate for the house a million more people voted for democrats even for the house. Its because of redistricting, and he knows that. Our caller is right. Really did people vote to have them do the same thing other again. Yeah. Stephanie well talk to representative Jan Schakowsky about it next on the Stephanie Miller show. Event. Nobody knows disasters like comedians. Thats why for my upcoming benefit for victims of hurricane sandy, i booked the strongest, smartest comics i could find. My comedian friends and i will raise money to rebuild homes and lives one laugh at a time. So tune in next friday for my all star comedy special. Together we can get new yorkers back to yelling at strangers and ignoring our friends. You are even more beautiful to me now, because it is the real you. This is it isnt it . This is the real announcer Stephanie Miller. Yes. Stephanie oh, you dont want that. The president yesterday. Obama if congress lets middle class tax goes up economists will tell you that means people will spend nearly 200 billion less than they otherwise would spend. Consumer spending is going to go down. Stephanie if only we had someone we loved from congress to tell us where we are now. Oh, look its rocking congressman Jan Schakowsky. Good morning congresswoman. Hello stephanie. Stephanie its hard to tell what is going on. The headlines are neither side giving ground. The president just won his second landslide. What do they not get about that . Yeah, he is only the sixth president in history that has won consecutive elections with a real majority 51 . Stephanie yeah. No, were holding the cards, though, stephanie. This is okay. Stephanie right. Because this is not a sequel to the last time when they held us hostage and we had to give up more than we wanted to because we wanted to overt total disaster with the debt ceiling. This is a different situation, and the republicans, one by one, it seems are starting to wake up and realize that you know, this is a really bad platform for them. Lets go to the mat for the richest americans, and then lets cut medicare and well threaten to complete financial disaster over the debt ceiling. That is wildly unpopular in the country. Stephanie yep. Representative i want to get your take because obviously the white house has signaled and i understand the issues involved, but im wondering too why dont we just over its note really a cliff, right . Because obviously thats where our leverage is is these rates will go up anyway, and you can fix things in a couple of weeks with a new congress cant you . Yes, thats right. But it would be better not to, you know, create the situation of having all of these things a lot of things expire at the end of the year. I mean it would be much better if like sensible people we would sit down before a deadline and figure out how to do this, in an equitable, in an equitable way. It seems as if the republicans in their caucus in the house of representatives, are unable to be sensible, and john boehner more than anything, the numbers that he is looking at thats the numbers that it takes for him to keep his gavel. Stephanie yeah. They are biting at each other right now. I guess its like 17 votes and they could oust him and there are people wanting to do that because he is too weak kneed. I think thats the problem is the republicans are in disarray. Stephanie absolutely. And you are one of our progressive war records and what makes us nervous on our side is why are we talking about taking a rate that is less than 39 . Why are we talking about making concessions at thissing point . I dont know that the president is talk about medicare eligibility age. That would be a total disaster. Stephanie yeah. It would actually ending cost could end up costing us more to do that. Stephanie i agree. And certainly in terms of human health it would be really really a bad idea. Im going to spend my week talking to my democratic friends to make sure everybody really understands how bad it would be and how unnecessary it would be to raise the age of medicare eligibility. But i agree with you, i dont think we ought to settle for any number less than what it was under the clinton years. Stephanie thats right. That was the most prosperous time in the United States of america in recent history, and we dont need to do that. We dont want to start negotiating with ourselves here. But first we have to have a significant call from the republicans that they are serious. I love when they say, oh the president serious. Really . He put a very detailed proposal on the table. We are very serious about that. Stephanie i love how they are acting
