Stephanie because i heard Rush Limbaugh expound on healthcare yesterday and i thought you might have some thoughts on it. Does he want to know if oxycontin is covered . Stephanie i dont know if i have insurance or not. His thoughts are really someone who can afford their own healthcare out of pocket. Thats someone that really has a grip on exactly what the average person goes through. I think hes in touch with the common man. Stephanie exactly. All right. In the meantime, heres nurse jacki in the current news center. As expected, cory booker has won the democratic nomination land go up against republican steve for senate. The popular mayor of newark won about 60 of the vote with 90 of precincts voting. His closest opponent, Frank Pallone came away with 20.

Do you think that there is any chance well see this president even say the words carbon tax . With an open mind. Has the time finally come for real Immigration Reform . And a distinctly satirical point of view. But you mentioned great leadership so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. laughter . Watch the show. Only on current tv. Its a Beautiful Day dont let it get away stephanie shh weve taken our jim ward crystals and replaced them with thats good coffee. Stephanie watch the fun. Coffee with carlos. Ill have a senior cappuccino mountain grown coffee. I was going to make espresso. Handpicked by juan valdez. Great to the last drop. Stephanie whos in the big boy chair . Carlos is filling in for jim ward. Ive been working on my eric cantor but i think it sounds like al gore. Stephanie hard to achieve that level of bitch face. Stephanie you would have thought that current would have thought of an ass cam. Hes having a colonoscopy. Youre less diplomatic. I just said hes resting his vocal cords. Wrong end. Sorry. [ price is right losing horn ] intelligent humor. Thats what i bring. Stephanie all three hours, carlos live in studio with us. How cool is that. Starring in the new pixar film, planes. Number one. Little space fantasy thing. Go see planes. You, go see planes. Youre a bad parent if you dont take them. Stephanie youre a bad parent and you hate america if you dont take your kids to see planes. Your voice is all over the commercials. I dont know why i showed up this morning. Right . Number three movie this week. I was stopped and frisked on the way though. [ speaking Foreign Language ] stephanie if we were in new york, you would not have made it on time. You would have been in midfrisk. Dont stop and frisk your brown friends. Its not right stephanie all right. So i dont know how you are on all of those nsa stuff. This is whats going to happen. All of our Conspiracy Theory friends are going to say i deliberately waited to do all of the stuff when jim wasnt here. And my story is that hes having a colonoscopy. Not here to defend himself. No, weve been getting into what would you call it, chris, a spirited debate. Yes. Stephanie about the nsa stuff and snowden, hero, traitor, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, paul in houston writes steph, listening to jim ward talk about the nsa makes me want to pull my eyelashes out. This is the same guy who says the founders couldnt have imagined assault weapons when writing the second amendment. Paul in houston. [ applause ] i just i just think and again, you can fill in for jim and say im an idiot. But it is a tough balance between security and privacy. You cant have 100 . I dont think of either. Are there ways to give up less of your i dont want to say freedom but when you engage in facebook and twitter, you are engaging in perhaps an arena that might allow you to be spied on more so that you do have a choice. Stephanie i signed up with netflix. I gave up all of my Civil Liberties just for house of cards. Thanks, kevin spacey. Game of cards or house of thrones . You cant get game of thrones on netflix. You can get them individually in the mail. We do. But yeah, if youve got a great tv show, youre in trouble. Theyll spy on you. Stephanie you need oranges. Thats a great show. Stephanie house of cards is addictive. You keep watching episode after episode. Thats called binge watching. Welcome to 2006. Stephanie thank you. We watch newsroom and that takes care of everything. Newsroom is good this season. Stephanie ive watched one i think so far. It gets a lot better. Stephanie and i happen to watch network again over the weekend. Go to your windows. Were mad as hell and were not going to take it anymore. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it and stick your head out and yell i am as mad as hell and im not going to take this anymore. Stephanie jim will be back tomorrow to do just that. Im sure hes kept his stack of mail. Jim would be questioning snowdens timing on it. Of. Stephanie i agree with the president. I dont think hes a patriot. I just dont. Daniel writes, im just going to read all of my people. Daniel writes snowden and manning arent the people i would choose to make life and death security choices. I made poor decisions in my 20s on dog food. Love to you, chris and my leftist buddy daniel in bowling green, ohio. Willing to do this for attention. Any time youre palling around with pursuant, it is hard to call you a patriot. Good boy, good nice. Good kid. Very good kid. Very good. You drink a lot, you know, he drink. Everybody together shirtless. Stephanie we all cite our stuff. Jim yesterday, chris was reading from the latest guardian thing. I like bob siska on this. Were about ready to post them. Stephanie he wrote two pieces recently. The guardian publishes a selfdebunking nsa article. Ill stop writing about Glen Greenwalds nsa coverage when he stops lying. I think that a lot of what good it is very selfaggrandizing. Hes the one who put snowden up to it. It is not like he was in this job and legitimately got outrage and was a whistleblower. Greenwald put him up to it. He took the job to do this. So we are being cyber netically stopped and frisked while people are on the streets of different colors are being literally stopped and frisked. Were over the web sites, we are being stalked. [ magic wand ] stephanie a lot of issues are coming together in stop and frisk in terms of security and peoples rights. Back in the day stephanie i get it. There is a balance. And lot of the issues, you mean, its hard because im really antigun. I love bloomberg getting guns off the streets. Do you know what i mean . Everyone likes a safer city. But again, clearly, they racially profiled. The question is to how the percentage of guns they are getting versus the percentage of people that are being unlawfully frisked. So is it worth it . Stephanie higher percentage of white people are the ones that had weapons. Maybe moot if it was an opencarry law. I was thinking has the nra been dormant on this . Have they been commenting on the fact that people are getting searched for their guns . Stephanie they dont it seems to me when there is a person of color, they seem to be remarkably [ crickets chirping ] whats the word, chris . Tumbleweeds. Did they come out, chris and say anything about the Trayvon Martin should have been armed . [ crickets chirping ] because it is the solution to every situation would be more guns, of course. Did you hear the story yesterday, the guy was shot in a gun safety class . Spectacular. By the instructor. Oh, yipes. Accidently or on purpose . Yipes. Stephanie when you think about that, what a lesson in gun safety. [ gunfire ] stephanie whatever you do, dont do that. I forgot my glasses today but its going to be fine. No. Stephanie jewel i had in seattle writes mama, it made my blood boil when the father of ed snowden said the president had sacrificed nothing for his country comparable to what snowden junior had done with his info dumps. He went on to say what a lot of people have pointed out about the president. Obama could have walked into any place in manhattan and been making millions. They could have stayed in the higher etch lons rolling in money and prestige and ending up as partners, instead, they chose to orient their lives toward service. He went to chicago to work with disadvantaged communities and claude his way to be p. O. T. U. S. Against all odds. Thats not sacrifice . The notion that all of the hard work and forgoing of many easier routes to wealth is nothing when compared to some High School Dropout who protested as what he saw as privacy violations by getting on a plane, going to china and dumping flash drives. He chose to go to one of the most totalitarian regimes on the planet and turn over what he had to the bastard people in charge of china, a country where women are discovered to be illegally pregnant are hauled off the streets and are forced to endure lateterm abortions, a country that occupies the nation of tibet, systemically destroying our religion, way of life, a country where books are religion and the internet are controlled by the freaking nonelected government where people work as near slaves in deplorable factories and are routinely imprisoned for their beliefs in speech and so in conclusion, if jim gets in resentful mode, you have permission to whomp him with a picture of a real hero. Shes helpfully included a picture of our president. You cant get fried rodent in china in the food stands. And visit the headquarters of whatchamacallit. Urban outfitters. Thats what i want to say. This is where it all begins. Stephanie can we wait until cocktail hour yesterday . Did carlos do this . Im like 45. Stephanie no, you are not. All right. So obviously a lot of you know, emotion and passion on both sides. I will go ahead. Start it all with what . Homeland security after 911. Delved into this need to spy on our citizens because intermixed with our citizens were possible terrorists. At that point, we began to give up our liberties and in that sense, you could say that what happened or what bin laden did was effective in their goals to disrupt the way americans live. Stephanie we had Michael Tomasky on from the daily beast yesterday. He was saying that in his lifetime, hes never seen a president voluntarily give up executive power like the president did and he cited, you know, an actual speech he gave before all of the snowden leaks. I think his point, the president s point was we could have done this without leaking that classified National Security information to china and russia and god knows who else. Putting people in danger. Stephanie that, to me is why hes not a hero. 17 minutes after the hour. Well continue with more on this coffee with carlos as raki. It is good exercise. The kids just love it. Announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. Viewpoint. Carl rove said today that mitt romney is a lock to win next pope. Hes garunteeing it. Joy behar say anything. Is the bottom line then that no white person should ever, ever, ever use the n word . Yes only on current tv. Announcer stephy. Carlos is in the movie planes so im playing fly. Stephanie let me pause a moment to read a review from the l. A. Times. I just happened to stumble upon it from the movie planes. The International Emphasis is calibrated there. Is not a villain among them unless you count Carlos Alazraqui, the movies scenestealer. What . Thats right. Ill steal it like a good minority. Stephanie i dont know what it is about animation per se but it seems to have unleash the inner don juan in actors and animators alike. Shrek has puss in boots. Alazraqui does the same for planes. Though his passion for rochelle, Julia Louie Dreyfuss with the accent to match, his wooing is relentless. It is the film at its most charming. Oh, carlos. I bring charm and passion to the Stephanie Miller show. Stephanie by the way, it was carlos musical suggestion. Im not being racist. What should we use . Masterpiece theatre . You said no. When i was in mexico nursing a chub chub cabra what is your favorite curse word . [ laughter ] stephanie ive worked with him a long time. I know all of them. Lets go with the clean version which is shenanigans. [ laughter ] up to some shenanigans. Stephanie 1800steph12 the phone number. Wilma in birmingham wants to chime in on the nsa stuff. Caller i wanted to say were look at the fact that snowden is a thief. He took information and gave it to somebody else. Stephanie i thought the president made a good point on that. If he believes what he did is right, he can come back here to america and face charges. Caller that makes him a coward. His father should stop sticking up for him because hes in the wrong. Stephanie well, to drag the president to say he sacrificed more for his country than the president . A little bit much. Caller he hasnt sacrificed anything except our information. Stephanie exactly. Go ahead, carlos. His father could go join him in lovely russia. Stephanie at least hes out of the airport. Where do we think he ate the most . At the moscow airport sbarro. Stephanie which can get old. Your tab has been paid for, my friend. Put it on putins tab. His father thinks hes such a hero and wonderful place to be, pack up the bags and move to beverly hills. Stephanie there you go. It is the st. Petersburg hill hillbillies. Stephanie we did link up to the daily banter. Carlos cites their articles. I dont think the problem is like when its not your opinion, people go whos that . Bob makes a point of saying hes had several civilized discussions with greenwald. Hes trying not to personalize it about snowden or greenwald. There are a couple of pieces. Ill just quote a couple of them. We linked up on Stephanie Miller show facebook. Jim happened to quote this article yesterday. The guardian said, it is just particularly in this day and age, you cant take a gospel necessarily thats all i think is theres two sides to this. His headline, the guardian publishes a shocking nsa article. There is no liberal media. Theyre interested in having a story. They dont care who it is good for and not good for. He talks about president obama the press conference. He said unfortunately, rather than an lawful process to debate the reforms, repeated leaks of classified information have initiated the debate in a passionate but not fully informed way. Who was it . The former intelligence agent wrote an l. A. Times oped where he was saying the same thing. It is a lot of people who dont really know everything about this that are spouting off about it. Im not saying we cant have an opinion. Im certainly in the group who doesnt know enough about it. How does he differ from assange, the wikipedia leaks person . Is there differences . And manning. How do the three differ . Why is one person like snowden getting all of this attention . Stephanie well, i think manning is, too. You know, again, this is not a lot of it is above my pay grade, too. Who is it we had on who was talking about if he had just leaked the video, that would be different. He leaked an enormous amount someone made the analogy if they leaked the pentagon papers and all of our troop movements in vietnam. Theres such a volume of stuff that you cant just say its okay. Anyway he should have hired an editor. Stephanie there you go. Anyway, bob writes not always fully informed is a bit of an understatement. Earlier that day, i posted an article documenting the top ten most inaccurate and exaggerated claims made by agenda journalists covering the nsa beat. But he talks about in a new bombshell article in the guardian posted on friday, the article he just says the article sensationalistic headline makes it appear as if the story has reached new levels of unconstitutional egregiousness. You can read, im not going to go point by point but i would give him a read at the daily banter and see what your opinion is. He just says the guardians reporting not only undermines the debate with wild sensationalism but represents a dark chapter in the development of digital journalism which tweets and traffic about journalistic integrity. Again, you know, read it. You can form your own opinion about it. But again, this article about greenwald i dont think makes it personal. He feels strongly about what he feels is some of the selfaggrandizing whats the word . I guess exaggerations he thinks Glen Greenwald has made. Lets go to richmond, virginia. Ray. Hello, ray. Caller hi, steph. How you doing . Stephanie good. Go ahead. Caller listen, let me preface what i have to say by saying that you know, im very progressive. I want to put that out there first and foremost but the thing is that im hard pressed to understand where youre coming from in terms of snowden. One of the things we have to understand, you cant divorce the Economic Situation from reality. And as it comes to people, there is a tremendous for government to
