[ buzzer sounds ] >> meanwhile, this is just -- this is really. apparently the president is celebrating bin laden's death. because no party would ever politicize something like 9/11. and mitt romney will talk about that with rudy giuliani today. >> in the shadow of the new world trade center. >> yes indeed. >> president obama -- [ nbc "nightly news" theme ] >> sorry. president obama said it was appropriate to mark an anniversary. stop making my competence an issue, and your president's former president's incompetence. the president recommended looking at previous statements for the 9/11 mastermind. like this you mean? this would be obama in 2007. >> if we had actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets, and the president won't act, we will. >> god he was a crazy warmonger. >> and he did exactly that. >> i'm sorry what did mitt romney say in 2007? >> he says he wants to unilaterally go in and potentially bomb a nation which is our friend. >> mccain said that too. he didn't say he was going to bomb pakistan. >> and he didn't at all. >> no. >> it was a surgical strike to get one man, and they got one man. >> indeed. >> and mitt romney said we shouldn't move heaven and earth to get one person. he is not one person. he killed 3,000 americans. >> i don't think i should do anything. i really think the president has no business doing anything at all, really. except counting his money. that's -- that's what a president should do. >> here is the president on this yesterday. >> as far as my personal role in what other folks would do, i just recommend that everybody take a look at people's previous statements in terms of whether they thought it was appropriate to go into pakistan and take out bin laden. i assume that people meant what they said when they said it. [ laughter ] >> that's been at least my practice. i said they would go after bin laden if we had a clear shot on them, and i did. if there are others who said one thing, and now suggest that they do something else, then i would go ahead and let them explain it. >> how many times do you think george bush had watched that clip. he is probably sitting at home going laura, i maybe -- i maybe should haven't said that. >> yeah. >> in retrospect i maybe should haven't let them get away and shut down the bin laden -- >> i probably shouldn't have put up that mission accomplished banner. >> he didn't unhook the leg straps. >> the focus group, you know how that looked on him -- >> i think the cod piece was the one good decision he made. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> based on the number of unnecessary wars. i think that area needs to be beefed up a bit. >> it gave chris matthews a thrill. >> everything gives chris matthews a thrill. >> he was walking like a chimp because it accentuated his package. chris says he looks like he served, but he didn't serve -- >> now it's dress-up time. >> what a great costume. >> yeah. >> oh, boy. all right. so a romney spokesperson said it's fortunate that president obama would prefer to use what was a good day for all americans as a cheap political ploy. >> what. >> wait for it, president obama's foreign policy weakened our allies. >> he doesn't have been shred of proof to back up that statement. >> romney was scheduled to appear today with new york firefighters to mark the anniversary of the death of bin laden -- >> oh. >> the president said i think we american people rightly remember we accomplished in bringing to justice someone who killed 3,000 people. >> romney said it's not worth heaven and worth and spending millions of dollars. >> that money could go to bain capital. >> just to kill one guy. i'm a businessman. that's not a good use of funds. >> i would have you guillotine five. they are cheaper. or maybe four or three. >> yeah. speaking of business how much cheaper would it have been to use six navy seals and one bullet? >> yeah. and iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. >> thank you. had forgotten that. >> other than that -- >> yeah. >> stunning success. killing hundreds of thousands of people is -- >> yeah. >> i loved that romney by the way said, if asked if he would have given the same order. he said of course i would. then he said even jimmy carter would have given that order. >> even jimmy carter would have given that order. [ laughter ] >> rich-guy horse laugh. obviously he meant that as a jab at democrats in general. i love this invoking carter may cloud the message. he ordered an attempt to rescue several hostages in iran. if the bin laden had gone similarly, obama would have been badly damaged. >> i always thought that raid was sabotaged, because the reagan-ots. >> yes, but thank you for pointing out his competence again. >> why would he have to talk about his record when he is running for president, for pete's sake. >> that just seems rude. kevin in chicago on bin laden. >> hey steph. can you imagine what today would be like if it was george bush would have gotten him. >> oh, yeah. >> dick cheney would have been at the monument at mount rushmore starts to chisel his face in. >> bin laden thought about changing his name. >> oh, i don't like it anymore how about mickey mouse club. >> oh that's taken. okay. >> announcer: call the political party line 1-800-steph-1-2. >> all right. we are still up on the air. >> oh, no! >> i know, right. [ recorded show playing in the background ] >> i have seafood broccoli stir-fry. >> seafood broccoli stir-fry. >> uh-huh. >> it just isn't aged right or something. [ recorded show playing in the background ] what makes hershey's s'mores special? pure chocolate goodness that brings people together. hershey's makes it a s'more... you make it special. pure hershey's. i have the most common type of atrial fibrillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but my doctor put me on pradaxa instead to reduce my risk of stroke. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) reduced stroke risk 35% better than warfarin. and unlike warfarin, with pradaxa, there's no need for regular blood tests. that's really important to me. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take any planned medical or dental procedures and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa. (vo) every week night, cenk uygur calls out the mainstream media. >> overwhelming majority of the country says tax the rich, don't go to war.

[ laughter ] >> romney said he wouldn't put the resources or policies in place to do what obama did. and can you imagine him in the situation room, flip flopping between goal, no goal, goal no goal. the choppers would have run out of fuel before he made up his mind. >> yeah, and everybody involved said it was a gutsy call. >> one of the helicopters did crash. >> exactly. i love the description that there was no one briefed for however many minutes in the room. hilary stop it! >> i don't think hilary has that kind of humor. focus, stop it. [ fart noises ] >> how am i supposed to follow something like that? >> i don't know. >> if you saw bill o'reilly last night -- >> i don't watch anything by current tv and neither do you. >> he showed a clip of paul ryan. he showed him talking about how iran is his complete total reason for going into politics. >> yeah. >> and now he has issued a statement saying he does not follow that atheist ian rand. >> yes. >> so how do we get the word out about what a huge liar he is. >> well, you just did. and it happens on current tv [ bell chimes ] >> let's go to bud in seattle. >> hey, how are you doing? >> good. go ahead. >> romney leads from behind. >> yep. >> in every way, and the other thing is too, that he's making a lot of issue about accruing a lot of wealth and people are jealous of it. it would be really nice if we could attribute a little bit more to the vets that come bag all mangled up -- >> exactly. mitt romney always does what he thinks is politically safe at the moment. and you are absolutely right i don't think he would have made this call. >> yeah, and the guy is saying, well obama is over his head and he can't lead. well this guy is reactive. he leads from behind -- >> it's the new leadership. >> exactly. and he has to watch obama, and obama has to show him the way. >> yep >> and then he has to react to it. it's like a bumper sticker, mitt leads from behind. >> yeah. last time he was caught on tape saying i don't care about the very pour, and now he names trees, and objects -- >> pancakes. >> now he is like i want to help everyone. >> i want to help the poor and the middle class -- let's focus on those people that need the most help. >> he is a tool. >> ken in cleveland pointed out that it is the one year anniversary of obadabod. ♪ >> okay. blauz -- [ applause ] >> which is why i'm wearing my bedazzled obama shirt. >> we're in the women's hater. >> and why did we do that jingle? >> because it is a funny name. ♪ obodabod ♪ ♪ >> okay. we will -- yeah we're get to the bin laden story, because it is hilarious. andrew in san francisco. >> hey, steph. how are you doing? >> hello andrew. okay. so this is going to be the stupidest thing that mitt romney said, we're not going to move heaven and earth to get one guy. >> yeah. >> because that's all baggage from the past. we need to move forward. let's just get rid of law enforcement and stop investigating crimes. what a stupid thing to say. >> among everything else. ann good morning. >> i think what you all have been talking about is mitt flips. >> that's right. >> i think we can just say it's a mitt slip. >> yeah, etch-a-sketch y, flippy floppy. >> yeah. >> zach wahls is the guy -- everybody remembers this moment. he was on the ohio -- >> no i think it was just before a city council meeting in iowa. >> he has a book called "my two moms: lessons of love, strength, and what makes a family." >> woe! >> he is coming up next on the "stephanie miller show." >> what are the odds? ♪ we will not settle for easy answers.

[ laughter ] >> it is the "stephanie miller show." welcome to it. 34 minutes after the hour. jim that was a very good observation about bin laden. >> i'm just so glad he didn't live to witness the death of whitney houston, because it would have broken him. >> yeah, that would have been tragic. ♪ i will always love you ♪ >> he was a whitney houston fan. and the b52s. not the planes the band. >> you may remember this video. was 19-year-old zach wahls. >> good evening, mr. president. i was raised by two women. my biological mom told her grandparents she was pregnant and they wouldn't even acknowledge it. it wasn't actually until i was born that they succumbed to my infantile cuteness did they break down and acknowledge me. my sister was born in 1994 we are actually full sibling, which is real cool for me. we go to church together we eat dinner we go on vacation. my mom perry was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but we're iowians, we'll fight our own battles. we just hope for equal treatment from our government. >> wow wee. ♪ >> zach wahls, author of "my two moms: lessons of love, strength, and what makes a family" joining us now. good morning, zach. >> good morning, everybody. >> your infantile cuteness has blossomed in to full-fledged adult cuteness. >> thank you very much. >> what motivated that testimony at the time? >> that was the iowa house judiciary committee. this was back in early 2011, this was the string of suicides that we saw starting with tyler clemente out here in new york. and was related to a dozens of suicides. at that moment it was a very dark hour for a lot of us. was right after the 2010 elections, so it was a moment -- we were all very tense and when i had this opportunity to stand up and share my story and maybe make a little bit of a difference, i jumped on it. >> it is interesting. you said something that really struck me. you said we were in the midst of an unspoken holocaust. >> that's right. and you said silence is no longer an option. >> that's right. >> that is so on point. and when you were watching rights being stripped from fellow citizens, it was your family. >> that's exactly right, stephanie. you are standing there and wondering what has this come to? you were living in a state where you had people who were supposed to be protecting our rights, trying to strip them away. beyond that there's this cognitive disdense that prevented them from seeing the effects these policies were having on young children. there was a 14-year-old in northwestern iowa that committed suicide after coming out. he was the subject of relentless bullying. teachers refused to step in. >> well, zach you have such an interesting perspective. because you are straight, correct? >> that's correct. >> but you know what it is like to feel different. what was that like if you could describe it. >> i write about that in the book. even though i'm not gay, i do know what it feels like to be in the closet. you feel like you are trying to be something or somebody who you aren't. and that's hard. so growing up there were definitely differences. i'll never forget watching in 2004 the republicanal national convention and mitt romney and rick santorum saying same sex marriages were anti-thetcall to american values and having the realization that there are people in this country that literally do not want your family to exist, that's terrifying. and beyond that at school i was target, you know, in a lot of respects, and it was something -- it wasn't always easy or fun having lesbian parents, but at the end of the day, wouldn't trade it for anything. >> you raise a good point, because speech does matter. when you have leaders of republican party like that, you know, basically telling people i don't believe that you should be able to marry the person you love, or grow up and serve your country. why do you think they are less than and they are never going to have a happy life? >> yeah, it's important too, there is certainly a very very fine line to walk. i'm a very strong believer in the first amendment, especially with those whom i disagree with. but this lack of understanding really does come from a place of two things. one fear, and second ignorance. and i don't mean ignorance in a shaming way, but literally lack of experience with lgbt people. these are largely advocates of these anti-family folks are coming from a position that they believe people engaging in a lifestyle choice they believe they are choosing to spend a lifestyle that will cause an eternity in hell and they can't understand why anybody would make that, quote unquote, decision. it's ridiculous obviously that attraction is never a choice whether you are gay, straight whatever. none of us have any control who we are attracted to otherwise newt gingrich would still be married to wife number one with the little blue dress. >> look at you. >> but sometimes it's hard to remember that. >> i was just quoting mitt romney earlier, zach back in 2005 he called the marriage ruling a blow against the family, and he said some gay couples are actually having children born to them. >> ah! >> this is the party of small government and keeping government out of your personal life. >> yeah, and if he only had that revelation in 2004 he is a little behind the times. i was born in '91, and i'm not by any sense of the imagine the first child born to same-sex parents. >> there are over 2 million now. >> that's correct. and even though i'm certainly part of the largest generation this far -- largest slash oldest, but i'm by no means the first. >> unfortunately you proved the right-wing's point that gay people can't raise children. you said the 99th percentile on the act, you are obviously not well-spoken. >> yeah, if gay people keep having babies god forbid we might have a bunch of young articulate educated people. it's very scarey stuff, steph. [ laughter ] >> yeah, when you look at marriage equality is an important part. i came out just a year or two ago finally, because i think it crosses partisan lines. when i told my mom many many years ago, and burst into tears and hugged mow. she just thought i was a loser. >> you are not a loser, you are the other l-word. >> look at what happened in new york state, right? it is not partisan. >> look, everybody who wants to stand on a soap box and say, lbgt rights is going to cause the end of the family clearly is not looking at the facts. the data is extraordinarily clear. i was an environmental engineering student when this came out. so we are trained to look at all of the data. because otherwise a bridge may fall down, and nobody wants that, unless you are a republican voting for anti-infrastructure bills. divorce are rates are down straight people are still married, davenport has not yet been swallowed up by the pit of hell. it's scary stuff, guys. >> i have now gone from gay to questioning just talking to you. [ romantic music ] >> so that happens. >> zach, i know you have lots of interviews to do. thanks for a taking time for us. >> yeah, thank so much guys. >> oh, my god. >> see what happens when you have gay moms. >> yeah that happens. so that happened. [ laughter ] >> wow! he is an amazing kid. his moms have got to be so proud of him. >> this is a book for everyone who has ever felt like an outsider. that covers all of us. look at our island of misfit toys here. [ applause ] >> all right. >> we all don't have it together as much as zach wahls does. >> no. >> good lord. >> and apparently we have never had depression like bin laden. >> he is a sad panda. >> oh noes he has the sad. we'll talk about that. >> announcer: i got her number off of the men's room stall. 1-800-steph-1-2. and there's only one place you'll find us.

>> women basically hate his guts. and then there are the women who don't know anything about him who think they hate his guts but don't know why, but soon will find out. he creeps out a of men and women. and his policies take us back to the 1950s in how the values women. so between his strange personal ticks, and weird behavior and he comes out with the policies he articulated, and i think that's a huge problem for the republicans. >> if thus far is any indication of how they will run the campaign, did his spokesman really say the bailout, that was his idea. getting bin laden that was his idea. what? >> yeah, these are his top advisors. oh, yeah the reason the bailout worked is because president obama did exactly what mitt romney wanted him to do. if mitt romney would have had his way detroit and the state of michigan would have been allowed to go belly up. and republicans say there was something of a structured bankruptcy, with how the president went about it the president and the obama administration said we are going to allow government money to be spent to try to help out and manage the auto makers. mitt romney there was no way he was going to allow government money to be spent. he is flat out lying from beginning to end. >> our friends at media matters did a great piece on the bailout saying when will rasmussen ask if they want pet unicorns. they ask about oh, they should have used regular bankruptcy procedures. according to every economic expert that wasn't available then. because all of the credit had dried up. that was not a path that would have been doing correct? >> absolutely. credit was tight. you had to make a choice. you had to decide. is the government going to get involved to help out the auto makers, or not. and romney very clearly said no, let them die. no government should be spent. and the obama administration said we're not going to allow detroit to do that. we're going to try this. if romney wants credibility, argue on the points that you can argue. the president killed osama bin laden, and saved the auto industry. he did those things. if you are mitt romney argue other points. >> exactly. the idea that you somehow have to diminish the things the president has done. it's absurd. >> and if you are a businessman how can you just say this mythical thing that couldn't have possibly been done that's the way he should have done it. it has no credibility. >> and some other things it doesn't take drilling very deep into what mitt romney has said to peel this apart. he said government stands in the way of things. and we can't have a government being involved because it stands in the way of efficiency. and he talks about his successes as a businessman and he sites a steel mill he was able to turn around. and that's true, but the deal included more than $90 million in government funds on a local level from the county and state, but nonetheless it was a government partnership that enabled romney to pull off this deal. so he says government always stands in the way, and then in the same ad he cites the steel mill and he is talking out of both sides of his mouth. you can't trust a word he says. >> hello, i lied. >> what biden said bin laden is dead, gm is arrive. >> yeah. and the irony in all of this is that i do think to a certain extent -- i think it is great that the president is talking about osama bin laden. should the president done something different? you could argue both sides. but at a certain point any romney campaign needs to get off of it and realize there is something about president obama because most americans would give credit to the military or cia not as much the president of the united states. if they are simply trying to say, oh, well the president shouldn't deserve any credit it's crazy. >> and david, i mean isn't it unfortunate when you have mitt romney obviously on tape saying we shouldn't move heaven and earth to get one guy. ho criticized obama's strategy which turned out to be exactly correct. >> yeah. and there will be the anniversary of the bin laden, or the anniversary that obama made the decision to bailout detroit. if you are the opposition let them have their day and move on. you are just going to have to take your licks, and in a way i think progressives and democrats should be very happy that they wanted to extend these issues. because the bin laden's death is now a week-long story. it extents the story, magnifies it, and that is to the president's benefit. >> yeah exactly. why don't you also do another ad about how cool he is? [ laughter ] >> yeah, i love the jimmy kimmel joke that president obama is able to slow jam to the news and mitt romney couldn't slow dance to anything but the merv griffin show. >> yeah. >> what do you think of the vice president nominees, especially chris christie. >> yeah. the woman i'm hoping -- and i'm getting a lot of more seriousness in washington, a lot of people are talking about paul ryan. and there was paul ryan on cnn talking about it would consider it. and the romney campaign seems totally enamored for this it doesn't take much reading or research, think paul ryan budget that he proposed is the most ridiculous divisive, mean spirited and dishonest budget that this nation has seen in 30 years. the numbers do not add up. it does not make any sense. if you adopt the romney ryan budget you are talking about throwing 25 million americans off of medicaid you would have a huge $4 trillion hole in the budget. the numbers are crazy. they are absolutely crazy. and if mitt romney wants to stand be paul ryan god bless him. >> yeah, latch them together, i say. chris christie has been speculated. rubio, jeb bush even. who would be the worst news for democrats? >> i think the worst news -- a lot of people know we're fearful about rubio because of hispanics. i think he is a stiff, young in a way that -- if the argument that republicans want to make is that somehow president obama was inexperienced i think rubio would be a great counter to that. the best thing the democrats want to do is to remind the country of the bush years. that's true, except jeb bush could solve some problems. if he can help win florida then the electoral map becomes challenging. >> i canned a congressman the other day, i said are you as insulted about them picking a hispanic as i was about them picking sarah palin. and he said some things are obviously so hand handed. and if you look at the polls, the hispanics are not buying it. >> yeah, he has been extreme on immigration, and he would have a hell of a time trying to compromise between romney's view and rubio's. rubio is also a little bit more corrosive. and i think that has something to do with [ inaudible ] if they put rubio on the ticket -- >> are you implying that republicans are somehow not in touch with some of the minorities. >> i think they pick whatever vice president they want don't do any research background checks or any polling, that's the way they ought to pick all running mates. because there are all sorts of mine fields out there for the republicans. they are terrified that the romney is going to do what john mccain did with sarah palin four years ago. >> as we speak david shuster they are doing a study on we lady voters and what they want. >> yeah, maybe something like health care for women, and being able to protect our privacy and women's privacy. >> not being accused of being sluts. >> yeah, sandra fluck. >> monica crowley was one of the more intellectual thinkers out there -- >> yikes. >> she said all democrats must be lesbians. >> david shuster you are the most interesting man in the world. >> always a pleasure and i'll go find some baseballs for you.
