You seem very far away. Youre like a will who in whoville. What do you call the three amigo senator who is are not satisfied with susan rice. They were not going to be satisfied regardless. Now she should never have said anything because then they would never scream cover up then then. Shell be in a few meetings today which should go better than yesterday but i dont know what the end game is any more. They hate the president. Pretty much. But we love Jacki Schechner in the current news center. And she loves you back. Good morning everybody. President obama talks about his plan to reduce the deficit by raising taxes on top earners today. This part should not be a tough sell for the president especially with the general public. Abc Washington Post conducted a poll that reaffirms that 60 say lets do it. While its mostly democrats and independents in favor, 40 of republicans agree to do it as well. That should give republicans some room to negotiate. Tom call from oklahoma tells politcothat he thinks we should extend tax cuts and change the tax for top earners at a later date. Taxes could go up but that does not constitute voting for a tax increase. A meeting with a big list from Goldman Sachs were back after the break. As i looked out across the battlefield at antietam. I saw the future of one great nation. But only barely, because the sun was like, way in my grill. George mcclellan, the general, hands me his pair of foster grant sunglasses, and i could see my wife, mary todd, found them so fetching. He looked so fine i started to call him baberaham lincoln. I was like, mary, please. You look like a baby, a literal child. I bought a pair online, shipped to 115 main st. , thats my gettysburg address. Im funny. I find them to be affordable frames, of the people, for the people, and, not, by the people, thats part of this freedom thing. End slavery, let people buy awesome sunglasses. Whos behind those foster grants . Abraham stinkin lincoln. I came up with that slogan myself. [ theme music ] [ music ] announcer ladies and gentlemen, its the Stephanie Miller show. [ music ] stephanie today, eh. Walking on something. Stephanie mess mess. My first pr crisis. This is very exciting. Isnt it . Do you have a person . No im in radio. Did i screw up . [ bleep ] i need to fix this. People are sending me numbers of crisis managers, what . I never leave my house. I dont have reason. Wow, yes we wanted to address this yesterday. We had to hold off but my good friend bill press joins me now. Look at that on the news maker line. Hes making news with me. Good morning stephanie. Stephanie good morning, bill press. Caller you and i can get in trouble together. Stephanie youve always been a Bad Influence on me. Caller its the other way around girlfriend. Stephanie we would have been separating in class. Current came to you and i and said we wanted to do a food drive for the needy. Whydont you and bill press have a competition. We were both away over the holidays. We knew there was antigay stuff stuff. Did i not do my research. I did not realize how long of a history there had been in controversy in antigay stuff. A, im gay. If you didnt know, i guess im a bad gay. Theyre going to throw me out. Caller theyre going to send you to marcus bachmann. We both screwed up. And its too bad. The Salvation Army has done an awful lot of good for an awful lot of people. I always put money in the red kettle when i walk by particularly this time of year. That to me is one thing that is sad about it. Stephanie no, thats absolutely right bill. As liberals we also believe in redemption. I think we were assured they were going to address this. I was doing a brief interview just to kick off the drive for the holidays, but it looks to me bill, the things that our guest from the Salvation Army said are not necessarily true. I think theyre trying to change and theyre trying to improve their image, but as you were saying this morning it remains in their Mission Statement. It does. Their Mission Statement said theyre antigay marriage, and there have been things as recently as this summer where the Salvation Army official in australia said that gays should be put to death because that matches scripture. That is hard to square with what our Mission Statement is. Stephanie i know in the Washington Post and other articles some of them go back to 2011. Have they changed . Are they trying to do better. You and i talked ultimately that we dont feel comfortable putting our names to this. Caller no, there are policies there that we canti would say we can support them. Its not as liberals or conservatives, democrats or republicans, as americans we can support. I would hope that the Salvation Army would see these policies should no longer be condoning whatsoever, or anybody connected with their organization anywhere in the world that would espouse these policies and clean up their acts. I would hope that they would. Stephanie i think it was back in 2011 in the Washington Post the coast was the Bush Administration is working with the Salvation Army to working against discrimination in hiring homosexualities. They never discriminate, which he said to us. But when it comes to hiring gays it chews away at the American Fabric of who we are. I think they do do good work, but you and i just thoughtmostly it came out of my whitehot competition against you, my, like, Blind Ambition to outcompete you in everything. Caller you knew you were going to get your ass whooped on that. Stephanie easy for you to say now press. Anyway, bill already announced it on his show but Effective Immediately we are not the Salvation Army is not going to be a sponsor. I believei dont know what the number was 1,150 was in my kettle. Im going to match that and give it to the Trevor Project, which is my good friends here in los angeles. The nations only 24hour crisis hotline or gay and lesbian youth. Caller ill join you why that with whatever was in our kettle. Ill do the same. Again, its sad to me because the Salvation Army has such a great reputation in almost every other area. Theyve done a lot of great work, and i really hope that they see moving forward theyve got more to do. Stephanie theyre welcome to come back on. Im happy to have them come back on. I know you hadnt done the interfereinterview yet. I thought it was kicking off our charity thing. I did not do my research. I asked him. Im reading the news story about myself. He said discriminateing against gay and lesbian would violate the very imagination of the Salvation Army. He said that it does not discriminate against hiring gays. Those were questions that i had asked. Had i prepared for this interview like i normally would you would have challenged him on a few more things. Again, my bad. Let me just mark this date in time because i neveri am never wrong. Chrischris can virtually tell you that one. But boy when im wrong, its one for the ages. Yeah, its a pr crisis when youre wrong i do not one thing that you and i have learned watching others not do this. When youre wrong, just say youre wrong and then move on. Stephanie weve spent about the entire campaign factually practically factfree. And the president always says that the buck stops there. We criticized george bush never took responsibility for anything. To say i was wrong, i screwed up we tried to fix it yesterday. Everyone was wellintentions. The Salvation Army does good work, but we dont feel comfortable putting our names on it and we screwed up. As i say the Trevor Project is somethingfor me, bill, its particularly hard. You know ive been an outspoken advocate for gay rights for years, even before i came out and weve been giving to sexy liberal causes during the sexy liberal tour. This hurt my heart, and my southern friend would say this hurt my heart. Caller all i can say dont get me in trouble. Stephanie youif you would stop doing what i tell you to you to do, but youre so malleable. Youre an officer and a gentleman. Thank you, press. Hes a gentleman and a scholar actually. He is. Not really an officer so much. Stephanie i made him one. Okay, promoted him. Stephanie can i make him an officer of the Trevor Project . I think i can do that. I think you have some in there. Stephanie indeed. All right, that wasnt so hard, was it. [applause] the effort matching yesterday. Stephanie that was the most i ever had to saywhen you suddenly have 74 emails, i was like, whats going on . I saw it happening during the show. I wasnt paying close attention to the Charlie Pierce interview. I think you called for a sound bite. Stephanie you had those roger rabbit eyes. I was starting control. Stephanie we wanted to fix it right away. Absolutely. Stephanie you cant just act on your own. A lot of people to corral to fix it. Stephanie fixers, as they say. Okay. So any way wewe doi sincerely apologize. I do, too. I was part of this booking as well and i apologize for not doing all the research. We thought we were doing something goodbye kicking off a fundraising event to help the needy, and i didnt do the research, sorry. Stephanie im a bad gay. Jim, you and i need to coincide because i should have known. You know me. Youre saying, are you reading what theyre saying . No, i never go in there. I dont go in there on a regular day. Are you reading what they say about you on facebook . We have to give some props. A couple of friends on the show. John arabosos. He really held our feet to the fire, and we appreciate it. Stephanie ive had john on and were allies in the same cause, and he got me. I screwed up. And mike senorelli. He has a great show, and he held our feet to the fire. Did he a little defending of us on his show against callers who were calling in and saying some really awful, awful things. Stephanie i have to say thanks everybody who said something mean about me, yesterday. Thanks for having my back in a crisis. Much appreciated. Thanks to those two for holding our feet to the fire and keeping up our standards. Stephanie can i say one thing, too. Bill knows this. He has been a friend for years. Not a guy with a better heart and trying to do great work in the world, and this was an honestthe thing is if theyre trying to change at the Salvation Army, and if theyrei hope its not just an image makeover. I hope they would really alter not just some of the things that they say in their Mission Statement and that kind of thing, but again if someone said theyre an evangelical christian organization. I dont obviously agree withthey cant be responsible for what everybody says. Some guy in australia said one thing, but again, its just been too longwhat i was not aware of was the length and depth of their record on gay rights. It goes back a long time. Stephanie i thought they were trying to change, fix it, okay, thank you everybody. The one or two people who sent me letters of support. That person, you know who you are. There were a couple. Stephanie i want to say thank you for that. I guess we can throw this away then. Stephanie here. Thanks. Okay. Oh jim you scoundrel. Theres that. Hey, its on to a wednesday show. We have hal sparks in hour number three, we have representative john yarmuth and Penn Jillette on the show. I remember one time penn said what, citizen kane. I said the same thing when you bring it up. Stephanie 18 after the hour. You know what makes everything better . Soda stream. Wow, i got whiplash from that. Stephanie ill come back with a neck brace after the commercial break. You make fresh soda at home in less than 30 second. I just had a party at my house. What is better than a soda stream . It makes soda 0. 25 a can. And you know what else it saves you . Luggers. Were not luggers here. Were not lugging people. Stephanie and its more environmentally friendly. Youre not lugging cans, bottles and throwing them out. Soda stream converts water into fizzy stuff. Im bleeding, what have i done to myself . I literally cut myself while im talking. I am a spaz. This is not a dangerous job. Stephanie do i have workmans comp. I dont know, youre the boss. I need to look into that. When you said you would cut a bit. Stephanie look, i cut myself. Blood on your prep sheets. Stephanie i need it put this under the sowed at a dream. Stream. You know what will get that out . A little water from soda stream. Stephanie you have saved yourself from the debacle. This is great drinks for friend and people you know and love. Ed a target, macys kohls. Well be right back as i go into triage on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer eke, i just puked on my dashboard again. Its the Stephanie Miller show. [ music ] [ music ] [ music ] announcer Stephanie Miller. [ music ] some people were frightening. Stephanie yeah, 25 minutes after the hour. Lets reset. Im sorry. It is thedo you remember the day i came out and im like, 17 minutes after the hour. You said, maybe we should reset. Okay im guy. Yes, i remember that. Stephanie all morning, in case you tuned in, im sorry the Salvation Army no longer a sponsor. My bad. Oh, my god i got a hilarious letter from roland. Im sure this made him more highstrung. Stephanie oh no, its a dark comedy, its a curb your enthusiam comedy. He said, i burst into tears and my psychiatrist beeper went off. She said, i have to go. One of my clients is in trouble. What about me. Does your roland have time for me today . We had a day. Stephanie i need therapy today. Yeah, okay. Stephanie ill just read all the blogs. And the person who said this. You know, theyre right. You are a horrible person. Thats what your therapist is going to say. Stephanie ive often thought the same thing. I just have the anonymity of the internet. Its good to start with a job where complete strangers feel the need to write you and say i hope you get cancer and die. Thats justokay. Thats on a normal day. Yeah. Stephanie all right sue in maryland, youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, sue. Caller good morning. First of all i wanted to say congratulations on having the guts to say i made a mistake and move on. Thats what liberals do. We actually take responsibility. I can understand why you dont have kids. If you had kids you would be wrong every day. Stephanie i dont have any practice of being wrong. There is a website called Charity Navigator. Org. They rate the charity. And the top is four star which the Trevor Charity is. Stephanie we give to trevor, its a cause near and dear to my heart, and my good friends on the board there. Caller then you know the money youre giving is not going to a ceo salary. The red cross is a three star. Its a good charity, but trevor is four star. Stephanie now the head up. Now a warning. Perhaps i should have checked Charity Navigator before i came on. They dont do religious institutions. Stephanie right. I think especially in this post election holiday time it is good to say look, people that we even disagree with can have their heart in the right place and doing good work. Which is the Salvation Army is, obviously their views are against homosexuality. Im a big obvious looking lesbian and they called me after hurricane katrina. I dont think they would turn down aid after a natural disaster. And there are places where they may be the only place that can offer to different communities. But they needed to come into the 21st century. Just like the boy scouts. Stephanie yes, your morals are in the right place. 29 minutes after the hour. Well be right back on the Stephanie Miller show. So the last thing our country needs is to have fewer teachers in our schools. Those greedy teachers, cops and firemen, clearly. Soft, sweet coconut covered in rich, creamy chocolate. Almond joy and mounds. Unwrap paradise. [ music ] announcer ah ah, you fools. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The first is never get involve in a land war in asia. But never go in againstStephanie Millerwhen guests are on the line. [ laughing ] stephanie this is the Stephanie Miller. 34 minutes after the hour. A movie other than american president s. I know. Stephanie someone tweeted us. Yes patrick tweeted and said, Stephanie Miller backs off from the Salvation Army and she immediately gets significant mattastigmatta. Is that a coincidence is. Stephanie theyre not right in catholic school. I have no idea how how i cut myself. Youre bleeding all over your show prep. Stephanie its obviously past that time so its definitely coming from my hand. Any time to dust off my dusty eggs. Theyve been absorbed by your body. Stephanie liz in l. A. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, liz. Caller good morning. Stephanie good morning. Caller i just wantedi was listening to your segment and i know that youve saidcalled yourself and dubbed yourself a bad gay. I dont feel thats the case at all. I think all of us at one time or another have donated or supported entities not knowing what they stand for and what they are core values are. I mean now that i know, i didnt know the Salvation Army had those philosophyies. Now that i know that, i wont donate and put money in the kettle, no way. Stephanie we believe that theyre helping the needy. I think some of their opinions are misguided, so maybe what you do is respectfully reach out and tell them that, and who knows. Well have them back on if they want to come back. Sure. Caller well, they would have to change their philosophy to be inclusive of all people who were in need, whether they have a. I. D. S. Or cancer or they have lost their job regardless of what their background is. I dont stephanie whats hard. They have had people call in and say they were not discriminated against. They were gay and were not discriminateed against in getting help. Ive had callers call in and say they were discriminated. How do you know whats not anecdotal. Right. Stephanie thank you for calling and telling me im not a bad gay. Ive been practicing that for a while. Since the early 90s. Stephanie laura in rockford, illinois. Hello, laura welcome. Caller hi, john mccain should be embarrassed, so should lindsey graham. They should be ashamed of themselves. They look like theyre beating up on some woman who doesnt deserve it. Stephanie they look like bullies. Thats why im glad we gave money to the Trevor Project. Bullying is bullying. Lindsey graham standing up and saying, she shouldnt have said anything. Do you think they would have been screaming cover up . Caller i want to make one comment. I know darn well before the meeting with susan rice, i betcha anything john mccain said no matter what happens no matter what she says, were troubled. Stephanie i think they set her up. They said, were willing to listen and softening on her. They set her up so shell come and talk to them. And then they open it up again. And they made sure they were closed door meetings so you wouldnt know what susan rice said, and they come at her any way. Were nor troubled now than before. Well what did she say . Stephanie go ahead. Caller i thought it was a set up. Even if she said something really good, remember our lines are going to be were still very troubled about what she said. That will make the americans worried thinking well hand her the problem. They want to make it look like theyre handling her and i dont think she deserves it. We should stick up for her. Stephanie theyve known the story from day one. She was givenconveying the intelligence she was given at the time. She said on every one of those shows, i dont know if you watched, she said this is the intelligence we had at this time. This is preliminary. We dont know. This is what is our best guest at this point. It has nothing to do with her. Theyre trying to get back at obama. They might be trying to get back at her for some of the things that she said about mccain during that campaign. She wasnt a fan so mccain is one of the angriyest fans in the world. Im not one of your fans stephanie maybe she said that. Hes holding the grudge. Im convinced. You know what you did. No, i really dont. Yes you do. Stephanie dee in virginia. Caller how are you . Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i think you should use ann romney on your cut. Stop it. Just stop it. The truth shall make you clot clot. Stephanie maybe ill get back in good graces. Caller you had a fox news experience. And at least you put it in reverse, and you took the upper hand on it. Stephanie yeah yeah, well, thats the thing too we wanted to do this yesterday only there was a lot of obviously peopleyou have to consider. Youre absolutely right. Thats the thing admit it as soon as you can and fix it. Thats what we tried to do. Thank you, dee. Thats quite a compliment. Were better than fox news. Why thank you so much. [applause] on the scale of compliments. Stephanie eh, i could have done without that one. Karen in virginia. Hi karen. Caller hi. Stephanie wow, you people are per can i in perky in virginia, whats up. Caller im in the middle of bsc, i have to be perky. I have a revelation for you, do you know what that is . Stephanie what . Caller youre human oh, my god stephanie are you high . Seriously. Caller i wish. Stephanie all right, all right. Youre a morning person. All right honey, thank you. Caller one more thing. Im going to tell you what to tell your haters. Stephanie all right. Caller you tell them to get off that cross that they have nailed themselves to, and use the words to build a bridge and get over it. Stephanie thats a good one. I never heard the bridge part. Someone needs the wood. Thank you karen. Caller mmhmm. Stephanie lets go to tom in ohio. Welcome. Hello stephanie. Stephanie hi. Caller i would like to know why nobody has brought up an obstruction of justice charge against Grover Norquist and fraud and treason and conspiracy and blackmail. Stephanie do you see how hes trying to getoh they didnt pledge to me. Its to the voters. No, its to you grover. Caller he did this and he got into our congress and our senate. Stephanie yes, yes i still dont get it. Plus its 20 years old. Hes on tvyou sent me a list. Five big whoppers hes telling on the tv shows and the majority of americans do not agree with him. Who the hell is he any way. Stephanie no one knows who the hell Grover Norquist is. And why did his dad name him grover. Its a boy named sue kind of thing. Stephanie you know my Fact Checking skills. I read this, too in. Cenk its questionable at this point. Youre looking at me to fact check your fact check. I screwed up as much as anybody here. Stephanie the point is, i dont know if the story is true, but when he was a kid his dad also a douche. Yes. Stephanie bought him an icecream cone and then took several large bites out of it and then said, this is what the government does. Maybe thats why the douche didnt fall far from the bag as John Fugalsang would say. [ baby crying ] stephanie so he was antibig government. Ill get back at him. Ill show him. Im going to out douche daddy. Nikki in chicago. Welcome. Caller hey mama, how are you. Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i just want to rebut what sue from rockville said about Christian Charities. They are not all antigay. There are some good ones out there. Stephanie nikki, i had one question, and funny i wish i had asked the guy and if they come back on, i will. I do think they do good work and their mission is helping the needy. Caller yes. Stephanie why do they have to bring gay into it . I dont understand, why are they even saying things about gay. Because in exchange for helping the needy they ask that they be able to minister to you. Stephanie oh. Caller not all Christian Charities do that. Not all Christian Charities do but Salvation Army do. Caller dont put them all in one box. We dont all stereotype like that. There is a group called christian left, which is a Phenomenal Group and very accepting of all. Stephanie we did work for catholic charities, a homely little child from new york, in a plaid skirt. Caller they do good work, theyre from the same ilk very antigay. Stephanie but look at all the good work the nuns on the bus are doing. You cant paint with one brush. And the rescue Mission Downtown who feeds the homeless on thanksgiving. They minister to you as they feed you. So, theyre ministering goes on. Stephanie and you have the ability to say yum yum, yum, i cant hear you. Im eating. Yes you do. Stephanie well be right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer call the Political Party line now 1800steph12. [ music ] rich, chewy caramel rolled up in smooth milk chocolate. Dont forget about that payroll meeting. Rolo. Get your smooth on. Also in minis. I think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. 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. [ music ] [ music ] announcer Stephanie Miller. [ music ] announcer Stephanie Miller. Stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. 50 minutes after the hour. Lets reset im an idiot. Is that news . 1800steph12 the phone number tollfree from anywhere. We have john yarmuth and Penn Jillette. But not teller because he would not work on radio. Stephanie and hal sparks. Lets go to terry in tennessee. Welcome. Caller hi, stephanie, how are you. Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i just wanted to call and lend my support to you. Stephanie aah. Caller i think that the people out there that are sending you nasty blogs should just take a chill pill and stop acting like republicans. I know your heart is in the right place, and youve done the best possible thing you can which is to apologize. They need to get on with it. Stephanie were good at holding each others feet to the fire. Ill say that. Yes, we are. Stephanie wow wee, but they were right and i was wrong but moving on. Caller yes, i wish you the best and have a good show. Stephanie thank you. Were moving forward. [ magic music ] if i learned anything from the last campaign, move forward. Stephanie do not look in the rear view mirror. Objects look much more horrible. You might have a raptor chasing you. Stephanie yes, move forward. Dont look. That was a prveloscer rap for raptor. Caller hello sexy mama. Stephanie how are you. Caller i wanted to call and tell mccain to stuff it. But that was covered. I just want to thank you for just being my morning eye and ear candy, and you and your crew play just the grooviest music. This is my third time trying to get through. I just want you to know that you are just the the shiite. Stephanie we can be smooth, mulls limb. Thats not a bad thing to be called that. [ world news music ] you have such a sexy disposition. Stephanie ah, ah, ah. I brought wasabi peas with me. Why . Stephanie theyre from my leftover japanese food. Its the kind of peas, not wasabi. But wahabi peas. Japanese food should never be leftover. Sushi certainly. Stephanie i have my stigmattas, leave me alone in my first pr crisis. Well, so far. Stephanie the majority of americans dont approve of how the white house handled the attack on on the consulate of bengahzi but dont they feel its a cover up. When americans are asked if they believe the white house lied or engaged in a cover up, 54 said that they believe its based on the best knowledge that they have at the time. Thank you. The fact that theyre able to keep this going is how irritating the Mainstream Media is. Its not a story because fox news says it is. John mccain is screaming about everything all the time. Damn clouds. Stephanie hes president of the green room at this point. Lets go tobarb in madison. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, barb. Caller good morning, kids. Stephanie good morning. Caller i just wanted to remind yourself, and im irish so i can say this. The definition of irish alzheimers is you forget everything but your grudges. Stephanie jake carney, White House Press secretary. The focus on some might say the obsession on comments made on sunday shows seems to me and to many to be misplaced. Stephanie ah, yeah you think . This is one thing ive asked before. Why does it seem that people do the right thing when theyre not going to be in office any more. Joe lieberman used to echo everything that john mccain says. But now he says this. She was under no political influence from the white house. Stephanie okay, all right. [ world news music ] to think she was almost our vice president. Stephanie she shouldnt have manipulateed the intelligence or stayed silence on bengahzi. Republicans have a new line of attack. If it was unclear why say anything at all because then nobody would be screaming cover up then, would they. No. Stephanie yeah, the question is should they have been given information at all if youre only giving Bad Information should you be giving any information. They didnt know it was Bad Information at the time or they wouldnt wouldnt be giving it. To fault rice not only to be more critical of the assessment she was given. She should have psychically known it was wrong or not potentially revealing classified information. Im sure they wouldnt have said anything if she would have revealed classified information. That would have been much better. What . During the interviews she gave on september 15th. She made it clear that they were initial conclusions and the continual shouting by conservatives that a conspiracy took place, as i just said, only showsdoesnot agree the majority of the americans. Stephanie hello, patricia. Caller good morning. Stephanie good morning. Caller i just got a heidi ho support for you. Aid grandma who told me if you never get sauce on your shirt youll never make an awesome stew. Thats the thing about not making mistakes. Everybody can just sit down. Stephanie i bet your grandmas stew as awesome. Caller yes. Stephanie was that mr. Mr. Hankie the christmas poo heidi ho. Caller heidi ho. Stephanie were just a group of weirdoes. All yalls listening to all of us talking. Josh in tennessee. Hi josh. Caller hey, instead of steph, how are you doing . Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i wanted to say this before i made my point. Im a lesbian, too and im right there with you. Stephanie i appreciate your efforts. Caller heres the point that i wanted to make. This whole Grover Norquist thing is ridiculous to the point where i mean someone just needs to throw him a beating because you have all these right wing nut balls that speak all this b. S. Rhetoric from their and they do everything in their power to help the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I think the best thing obama could do is take an Old Fashioned lead pipe mental from al capone and say if you dont start doing the job you were paid to do and cut out the b. S. And do what you need to do to make it better for the American People all over all youre going to get a baseball bat up against your melon head. Stephanie oh dear. Im guessing that the president wont say that. Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm. Stephanie 58 minutes after the hour. Back with rightwing world with representative john yarmuth as we continue on the Stephanie Miller show. Governor tomorrow night. She is awesome. Well be right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ music ] stephanie hello, current tv world. We have representative john yarmuth coming up and rightwing world. How did i do in my first public may can culpa. I think you did extremely well. Stephanie and ive had to offer a few apologies to you. And ive had to offer a few myself. Stephanie you know that saying that love means you dont have to say sorry . Thats not true. We say it over and over and over again. And gifts from overstock. Com. Stephanie thats from the past now. Were moving forward. Bff, we have little cat fights now and again. Then we kiss and make up. And then theyre pillow fights in our underwear. Stephanie and lots of pillow fights in our lingerie. Do you have pictures. I knew you were going there. Stephanie here in the news center fully clothed Jacki Schechner. Bp has earned itself a serious time out. They will not be getting any more new federal contracts. They pled guilty to criminal charges after the disaster that killed 11 and the Largest Oil Spill in u. S. History. The agency said the temporary ban is because of bps conduct during that crisis showed a lack of integrity. The ban does not affect existing contracts but bp will not be awarded new ones until it demonstrates that it means u. S. Government business standards. An exclusive from talking point memos big unions and progressive groups are forming a group to fight the filibuster reform called fix the senate now. They say the nation cannot afford two more years of Congress Without action. They tried to get reform passed in 2010 and 2011, the difference now the democratic leadership seems to be on board harry reid said he wants to make it much harder for the small membership of the minority to block the desires of the majority. Even though we have a Record Number of women and minorities in the house come january House Speaker john boehner has announced who will chair the 19 major house committee, and get this, they are all white men. The House Democrats have not released their top announcements yet but well have nine high ranking democrats who will be women or a minority. Well be back after the break. Do you share the sense of outrage that theyre doing this, this corruption based on corruption based on corruption. I think thats an u im not prone tot. Understatement, so explain to me why that is. I think the mob learned from wall st. , not vice versa. Smiles make more smiles. When the chocolate is hersheys. Life is delicious. But whether hes climbing everest, scuba diving the Great Barrier reef with sharks or jumping into the market he goes with people he trusts, which is why he trades with a company that doesnt nickel and dime him with hidden fees. So he can worry about other things like what the market is doing and being ready, no matter what happens which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense from td ameritrade. vo always outspoken, now unleashed. Joy behar. Cant find a good nanny . Tune into my next show and ill put in a good word for you with my guest, fran dresher, on say anything [ music ] announcer ladies and gentlemen, its the Stephanie Miller show.

Stephanie no that wasthat was two years ago. Sorry. Stephanie lets reset. You are an idiot ha ha, ha stephanie we had to drop our sponsorship of the Salvation Army. Did i not do my research properly. Bill press and i both announced were going to take the donations that we made and im going to match that amount to the Trevor Project. Theyre trying to do good work, but we were not comfortable with the history of with gay stuff and i wasnt aware of it, and i apologize. And thats on your Facebook Page. Stephanie i like to live in the past when im never ever i dont thinkwrong. When was that . Stephanie yesterday. [ magic wand music ] when i said i want to bake an omelet. You dont bake an omelet. You bake a fritt atat. Stephanie i suppose youve inundated with with recipes for baked onlets. Margaret said, mama is always right. Thank you, margaret in madison. Do you remember that . Do you remember that. Okay, so dont challenge me on my pointer sister knowledge. A baked onlet is a fritta. Stephanie whatever. Im so excited. Back to a magical time when im never ever wrong in the history of anything ever. Apparently there is such a thing of a baked omelet, a scandinavian dish. And its on the internet, which is never wrong on anything. Stephanie no lets dive into the rightwing world. Mary mad delynn madeleine she gets more and more pleasant every year. When they allow an u. S. Am ambassador and go out and mislead people on a terrorist attack. Its not about susan rice. Shes a distraction. But what senators mccain and graham are talking about we live in a dangerous world and we have to have a better answer than talking points given to her like shes some kind of flack. Just give all the classified information and tell everybody whats is going on in the embassy embassy, ya, ya, ya. Stephanie let me get this straight. Susan rice goes out with the best information that the intelligence had at the time and when Condoleezza Rice went out with information that they knew was incorrect. And started a war war that was incorrect. Stephanie we need her on that wall. You dont like the truth because deep down in places you dont talk about the parties. You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. Stephanie what is with the tone of voice. I dont know. Were going to need a lot of drinks. Why . To kill the bug that you have up your ass. Stephanie thank you, thank you. More laura is coming up. Stephanie do you think she debateed Mary Madeleine for an hour it would sound like a car horn being stuck. [ noise of car horns ] stephanie we just died. Its chinatown. Stephanie colonel ralph peters. Fox security expert. Weve had jay carney say we support democracy. We believe the government of egypt should reflect the will of the people, and we have concerns of what morsi has done. It would be nice if we supported democracy, but i dont think this administration does. Lets be honest, george w. Bush tried to support democracy in the middle east, and in iraq we gave the iraqis their best shot. Stephanie by bombing and killing hundreds of thousands . Yes. Barack obama does not believe in democracy now . Only george bush did. And the fiery remarks of freedom freedom. George bush didnt know the difference between sunni and shiite. Knew nothing about the country nothing. Bomb it real good. [. Stephanie i dont miss him. Grover norquist is the new bad guy. Everybody is saying were going to walk away from Grover Norquist. All he has done saying, hey, you have enough money on capitol hill. Spend what you have, and stop asking us. He has been a watchdog on our money. If youre democrat or republican you should be saluting him to a degree. He warns you in the past people who walk away from their nonew taxes have paid a price. He just said hey. Stephanie a lot of people who signed that pledge lost. [ ding ding ] thanks, grover. Stephanie here is the very soothing laura ingram. The sky is always falling when president obama wants to cram down legislation or initiatives without real debate, and without true compromise. Heres my question for all of these wobbly republicans and democrats who tell us the sky is falling. Where have they been for the last two years . The American People have been waiting for two years to have commonsense action. Im tired of obama putting a gun to the head of the American People and republicans who say oh, what are we going to do . Theyre all wilting and running around. Stephanie man upi guess thats what her point was. I dont knowi dont know where to go with that whole thing. Putting a gun to the head stephanie of the American People. What was she talking about . Stephanie i dont know. I dont think she knows. Just spouting off talking points. Things that sound good to right wingers. [ whining ] that noise sounds so good to right wingers. So soothing. [ whining ] [ laughing ] stephanie okay, you know, jim can do an impression of everybody in rightwing world that didnt consist of any words. For instance, rush limbaugh. [ coughing and mumbling ] stephanie which of course proceeded laura ingram saying this. [ whining ] stephanie we close with this this. [ mumbling ] which makes about as much sense. Stephanie it sound all the same to me. Any day on fox news. Stephanie that was a tour de force, jim ward. Sean hannity. We just had an election on these very issues, and i agree with you our side lost. Americans decide theyre going to take a backpack, fill it with rocks and for the first time in history were going to say to our kids and grandkids, were going to leave you in worst condition than we found this country. Stephanie the American People are stupid. Your stupid, and see what you did. Now you have a backpack full of rocks. Stephanie and now we have nice things. And you walk into that river at the end of the hour. Stephanie okay. Americans are in a shocking amount of disarray. The Republican Party has not developed an alternative idea set other than what mitt romney and paul ryan were campaigning on, and by default it has become their opening negotiation position. Stephanie okay, you know what, you guys finish your argument with yourself, amongst yourselves and then come to the table. Yeah. [applause] stephanie lets go to stacey in florida. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi stace. [ singing ] good morning. Ive been telling my people for years and years that the republicans think were just a number to them. Mitt romney said the 47 . It looked like it was some kind of surprise. I said im not surprised. This is what ive been telling you idiots for years. Thats how he think about us. Were just a number. Stephanie right. Caller second thing, john mccain is mad because he let dummy beat him in texas for the presidency. Then an educated black man from harvard beat him. Hes taking it out on susan rice. John mccain and lindsay whatever his name is. Stephanie graham. Like the cracker. Caller this thing for people then you wish bad things for people, sometimes it dont come back to the person who wish the bad thing. It trickle down to another member of your family so john mccain be careful what you wish for. Be careful. Stephanie thank you, honey. Lets go to zach in oklahoma, hi hi, zach welcome. Caller how are you doing . Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller i got an idea of the three republicans who keep going after susan rice. Stephanie mmhmm. Caller how about three billboards and put their three pictures on there and then have the title read americas bullies brought to you by the right wing. Stephanie yeah. Caller and my second point is we all have Social Security numbers, so in a way were all numbers. Stephanie how much proof is it that there is a god that mitt romney literally got 47 of the vote. First a tee and then a hee. Sound bite s were significantly troubled about some of the answers we got and some what we didnt get. Troubled, very troubled. Cenk we said this last hour, trouble. Stephanie we said this last hour, but they set her up. They set her up. So troubled. Stephanie so openminded and partisan. Its worse than we thought. [ magic wand ] very troubled. Stephanie 18 minutes. What do they say . None of your business. Stephanie 18 minutes after the hour. Gotomeeting, kids, this is how we run this ramshackle operation. And it is a ramshackle.

[ music ] [ music ] announcer Stephanie Miller [ music ] stephanie a moment of thanks that i dont have to go back to my 80s hair. 24 minutes after the hour. 1800steph12. [ howling ] you are a wolfchild. Stephanie it was some dispute if i looked more like a bay city roller or merrill osmond. Merrill osmond. That picture of you with gerald ford total merrill osmond. Stephanie we love out magazine. Good friends with the owners and we love the work they do. Oh, my god, is that jane lynch on the cover . The editor in chief joins us out. The 100th issue is out. Good morning, aaron hicklin. Caller hi, how are you. Stephanie you have a big shin dig coming up in new york. Caller yes Hurricane Sandy almost blew us off course, but good folks here at media has done their work and well be on tomorrow evening. Stephanie thats right in marknew york city presented by buick. Caller thats correct. And the out 100 has achieved the recognition and stature and the magazine itself is 20 years old this year. Stephanie what a great year after the election result where is we saw Marriage Equality win at the ballot box for the first time. Weve made so much strides in gay rights. When you started the out 100. It seems likes like thats what is helping, when people know and admire a gay person somewhere and its humanizing the issue. I call it the ryan murphy event. There is so much more gay presence in our culture now. Yes, people we know directly, but also just through familiarization through mainstream culture through big tv shows and musicians. We know psychologically people know someone who is gay it tends to challenge their antithipy and its a matter of who we choose to love. You know, this year in particular with the president throwing his support behind Marriage Equality and same sex marriage, we see that opinion at the ballot box. This was an historical year. In fact, to mark that and represent that, we did something that i think is kind of really extraordinary, thanks to the good folks at the white house. We have to shoot a photograph of lgbt members at the white house. And that seemed to me that it fit in with an extraordinary year. Stephanie aaron, ive been curious, how do you choose the out 100. When you make your decisions what do you take into account . Well, a couple of things. We have a team of editors. Primarily were looking at people who have brought them or their work to attention to prominence in one way or another another, or an activist who has done Something Worthy of acknowledgment. Actually whittling it down to 100, one thing i have to say when i started this magazine six or seven years ago often its been actually quite difficult to find people who stood out in some way and we dont have that problem now. Stephanie thats progress, and i was going to say i love your covergirl jane lynch. We all love jane lynch. I love what she said at the end of the article. I thought thats the real progress. Its become normal when billy bush says, how is your wife. Its not like, oh my god. Its becoming normal. Normal. Stephanie yeah, go ahead. Caller well, yes how extraordinary in this years portfolio weve been able to include portraits of newlyweds who are married and whose marriage is recognized, people like new York City Council speaker christine and her wife. Stephanie aaron, im so sorry, were out of time. But go oat the out magazine. Were out of time. Thank you so much. Caller thank you. Stephanie 29 minutes after the hour. Back with representative john yarmuth next. Drop on the pitchers mound. [ music ] [ music ] 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. [ music ] you mean the boys are talking about what to do with the extra coins . Im renting a clown and did i. Announcer Stephanie Miller. And i really under estimated the creepiness. [ laughing ] stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. 34 minutes after the hour. This hour brought to you by hd faces, the powerful way to meet on your ipad. Try it free for 30 days. Www. Gotomeeting. Com. Use promo code stephanie. Representative john yarmuth, good morning sir. Caller hey stephanie. Stephanie thats the thing youve heard. This is not really a cliff, its a slope and patty murray and others have said we can go over it its going to be gradual if thats what we need to do to get the tax cuts for the rich to end end. Caller i think this whole fiscal cliff thing is a conspiracy of cartoonists. Easier to draw a cliff, i guess. Ive seen so many of them. But this again one of these selfconstructed crises that congress is really good at building. There is a real easy way out of it, and i think actually were seeing a little bit of movement on the republican side that might make it pretty easy to get over it. With tom coal the republican from oklahoma saying that we just ought to go ahead and pass the tax cuts for the 98 and then fight for the rest of it later. Thats what weve been saying on our side. We can do that if five minutes. Stephanie thats what nancy pelosi said, extending middle class tax cuts wrought further delay. She said we remain optimistic that were going to reach an agreement, are you . I was less optimistic before tom cole made a statement. Tom is held in pretty high regard. Hes not what is generally considered a moderate on the republican side. Hes a very, very good guy and member of the bourbon caucus, by the way. Stephanie ha ha, hee hee. Caller which is why he has become so reasonable. So many times people in politics confuse principle and policy. The difference between 98 of people getting their tax cuts extended to 100. Thats not a principle thats a policy. Its the same people saying well, we can eliminate deductions and do these other things. Thats just semantics. Peoples taxes are going to go up. Theyre going to go up. Whether you call it a rate hike, deductions or something else. Theyre just playing word games. In fact, there is very little distance between republicans and democrats on this issue right now. Stephanie senator durbin said this yesterday. Were not going to find ourselves in some big party and then turn around and have a doomsday scenario as a debt ceiling. Stephanie are we or are they going to do some temporary fix and kick the can down the road . Caller well, i hope the debt ceiling is a part of it. The spending cuts, the across the board cuts, the socalled sequester, i think that will get kicked down the road. Right now we cant afford to have significant reduction that will impede the economy. I think we need to take a little bit more careful approach to those kinds of cuts if were going to talk about 1 trilliondollar over ten years. So i suspect that can will get kicked down the road, but the tax rates really should be dealt with right now. Theyre easy to deal with. The debt ceiling should really be, thats one of those other things we can create a crisis unnecessarily. This country is not going to basically deny its debt. Stephanie right. Caller so anyway, i think we can do it. I think saner heads might prevail. I just left a meeting with gene sperling. He said the president is not going to amend the tax cuts. If he is, the republicans better get on board. Stephanie i took heart in that. The president is not being fooled so far. He is not saying that were were going to close a loophole, and its not going to produce the revenue that is necessary right. Caller exactly right. If you deal with deductions no matter what you do you cant get to any significant number. The very very wealthy americans really dont have that many deductions. All they have is the charitable deductions which no one wants to do away with. They dont have big home mortgages, they own their home or homes as in mitt romneys case. So eliminating deductions doesnt do anything to them just as that one suggestion that came out of the senate, tax the first 400,000 at 35 . That penalizes someone who is at 450,000 and nothing to someone who is at 10 million. Stephanie can you say to one of these republicans for me. Guess what, you lost. You dont get to enact mitt romneys plan. I mean, ive been talking about this, you know, one of the things that drives me crazy is not just republicans but the Mainstream Media. Right after the election David Gregory asked someone on meet the press do you think the president should bring mitt romney to help negotiate this his wall cliff. What now . Caller well, elections we keep saying, they do have consequences. The most important election was president obama getting reelected because now he has all the cards. Stephanie thats right. Caller its just like in many cases democrats and the minorities in the house like to think we have leverage, which we usually dont. The republicans have no leverage right now. Stephanie as he pointed out even people who didnt vote for him agree with him on taxes. If you look at polling they agree with us in the rich paying their fair share. One thing im sick of them saying over and over again no, we elected a republican house. We can say it over and over, but its because of jerrymandering. A million more people voted for democrats in the house even, than for the senate. Caller exactly. What i consider more importantly if you look at the areas of the country where most of the commerce and most of the Economic Activity occurs, 80 of it or more is in urban areas and urban areas overwhelmingly voted for president obama and democrats in the congress. I mean, thats where the democrats strength lies. Again, thats where most of the Economic Activity is generated. Its even morethey have a lot of counties with very few people who voted for them. Stephanie right. Representative yarmuth, before you go, this susan rice thing. Do you agree with us . This to me looks like this was a setup. They pretend to be softening and then open to what she has to say, and then everyone has confirmed that she was giving the best intelligence that she had at the time and now theyre even more troubled. She goes to talk to them, and now they say this is even worse. Where is the controversy here, can you tell me . Caller i have no idea. This is one of the most confusing things ive heard in a long time. What theyve successful successfully ended up doing john mccain and lindsey graham, the president will nominate her. Theyve forced that to happen now. Theyre going to be embarrassed. And shell exonerate herself in the confirmation hearings for everybody to see. I dont understand what their game is. Its totally misguided. Sour grapes. Stephanie the rumor is that theyll nominate john kerry and scott brown can run and get a senate seat back. Who knows. Cenk well, the rumor here as you probably know, that dynamic would be in play any way. Stephanie thats what i was thinking. Hes going to be nominated any way. Caller i dont know what their game is. Stephanie who knows. Its always like a rubics cube. Thank you for joining us were the bourbon caucus. We love him. I love him so much. Stephanie felecia, go ahead. Caller you keep calling me felecia, i love it. Feletia. Caller john mccain needs to settle down on the criticism of susan rice. He was going with sarah palin. Thats ridiculous. I want to lend my support to your gay rights issues. In the community that you face, its actually ridiculous to think that we should put opinions of christians on people and just tell them the truth. Stephanie yeah, you know i caller regardless, because thats what jesus did. Hehe said im going to love you regardless. Stephanie he never said anything about homosexuality which why i dont get why we get to mix our opinions on gays and charity. Caller thankthank you. Stephanie i love you feletia. Lets go to barbara. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Good morning barbara. Caller good morning, how are you. Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller this is my first call im nervous. Stephanie dont be nervous. Caller theyre beating a dead horse with bengahzi. I was watching a local news channel here and glen dorothys sister. Sister. If you want to blame somebody, blame the terrorists. Stephanie yes, susan rice is not the terrorist. Who killed our americans thats who we should bereally, the focus is on the white house or something wrong with susan rice. Shes not the National Security adviser. Shes ambassador to the u. N. Compared to the condi rice. And what she did. Stephanie its so transparent what shes doing. Literally mccain and graham, they applauded who now netanyahu . President of egypt, hello . Everybody except for stephanie literally applauded the foreign leader and criticized the white house even for that, even though secretary of state clinton dropped everything and go and if facilitate that. I dont get it. There is a black man in the white house nobody gets it. Stephanie we get it. 45 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. At least theyre white. Oh, god no. It makes me sick in a wonderful way. Announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. [ male announcer ] its that time of year again. Time for citi price rewind.

Theyll crawl through the dessert to a mirage, and when they discover there is no water theyll drink the sand. They dont drink the sand because theyre thirsty. Stephanie Penn Jillette, you yelled at me for an entire hour about me saying it was my Favorite Movie ever. Caller you did not say it was your Favorite Movie. You said it was the best move ever. Those are two different things. They are two different things. Stephanie whatever, penn. Caller not whatever, not whatever. Its accurate. Citizens cane, vertigo they may be the best movies ever. Stephanie i love you forever, but once in a while i wish you were the silent one. Caller yeah, me, too me too. Stephanie lets talk about your new book, every day is an atheist holiday. Caller yes, thats the book. And its celebration of the daytoday life with a lot of digressions about things that happen to me. Stephanie i love that your unique way of celebrating thanksgiving involves unzipping your pants. Caller you got to do than. Thats important. I tell a few stories about thanksgiving. One story that i love about captain bano, wrestler, having thanksgiving with a bunch of wrestlers, and someone betting him 100 and then everyone getting covered in grease and that burn we know out the window. Stephanie many celebrations begin with unzipping your pants. Caller im trying to think of any celebration that doesnt start with me unzipping my pants. Im trying to think of a counter example and nothing is coming to mind. Stephanie you say holiday is foryou say halloween is the slutty holiday. Caller thats why its kicking christmas ass. It is growing very quickly as the holiday. I have a story in the book about how i had a terribly embarrassing thing happen on halloween. My daughter was in kindergarten they had this thing called the mystery reader where someone came in to read a halloween story, one of the parents in costume, and the beautiful excitement of that was that the child would get to hear the voice and be excited to hear their parent reading. So i decided i was going to do a really Old Fashioned halloween thing and dress up as a ghost. I bought a sheet. Cut the eyes out and put it over my head. At the time i was wearing a straw hat that i fancied that made me look like sinatra. I put the sheet on and the hat and i walked into the reception and the woman behind the counter just screams. I said im not a real ghost. Then i looked into the mirror and realized that a 67, 67, 300pound man wearing a sheet does not look like a ghost but rather like a clan member. Stephanie i knew thats where you were going with that. Caller so it looked like with the straw hat that i had dressed up for my childs kindergarten class as a clan member kkk guys. Wow. Stephanie awkward. Caller the teacher was appalled. I sat there in the chair in red and was really filled with a joy because to the kindergarteners that image really was one of the dads as a ghost. Its wonderful that they dont have that image in their head, but boy one of the most embarrassing moments in my life was finding out that i dressed accidently as a member of the kkk. Stephanie if thats your story, i would stick with it. Now penn i loveheres what i always wonder about because im not a parent. But the alcohol slutty thing for halloween, it has no age limit. Parents dress their kids like little princess. It doesnt matter the age. Caller i dont get that at all. There is that whole princess culture. My daughter talks about princesses all the time. I always throw in, wouldnt you rather be a Freedom Fighter . Wouldnt rather be Susan B Anthony that you would rather dress up as . Shes a big american hero, not a princess, wouldnt you rather beit just doesnt work. Susan b anthony on ice. Thats the farthest thing from a princess actually. Caller i would like to think that the u. S. Is as far from royalty as we can get. But sometimes it doesnt seem like that. Stephanie Sandra Day Oconnor . Margaret thatcher . Not good selling costumes. Caller i do push. I do push for sue an b anthony an atheist who had stamped in her face, in god we trust. Stephanie you are a good sport for a clan member. The book is every day is an atheist holiday. Its full of fun stories like that. I just purchased it from my kindle this morning i cant wait to read it. Caller wonderful. I hope you like it. Stephanie what a wonderful idea for your kindle. Every day is an atheist holiday. Penn jillette, my good friend, talk to you soon. Caller always a pleasure. Stephanie i might say the best man giggle ever. Thats quite the raucous man giggle. Yes. Stephanie one more here. Bill in arlington hi, bill. Caller hi there, stephanie. Stephanie hi good, 30 seconds. Caller i was watching john mccain and others talking about meeting with rice, how troubled and disturbed they were. Stephanie very troubled. Caller it occurred to me that he was describing symptoms of geriatric dementia, and would explain some of his recent behavior. Stephanie you know, i cant tell if its just general crankiness. Thats what it seems like. Bitterness. He has always been cranky. Stephanie you knew him from a long time ago. He has always been cringey. Stephanie he almost ran us over at a hotel. I remember that. Stephanie in a car. We were like, ya. I was looking at one of his hot a. I. D. S. Stephanie hump days with hal sparks on sexy liberal show. n10 4
