Stephanie because its a perfect gift for the holidays. So you are the one that is responsible forthose warnout tshirts. Stephanie i get a lot of compliments on this shirt. Okay. Stephanie only a few tickets left for the sexy liberal show in washington, d. C. So im kind of a thruple slut. Which as i explained, a threesome with no sex. Which if you are in three of them its a ninesome. Stephanie thats right. No one is having sex with me. Let me be very clear. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie they are also clicks. In high school we called them clicks. Roland jacki and i are all in a thruple, and Melissa Fitzgerald jacki and i are also in a thruple. I cheat on different pundits left and right. I may yell out eric bowards name. You never know. Karl frisch. Good morning, karl frisch eric bolard. Good morning. Eric bolard slowly i churn. Stephanie you said what kind of crazies believe the mayan calendar. Think of them with gops obsessed with the unscrewing polls. This could be the last time we talk stephanie. Stephanie it could. But if the mayans were so good at predicting the future, there would still be mayans. Right. Unless they were controlled by their Republican Party. Thats right. Stephanie havent we had that before, where they said something, and then they said we just needed to redo the math. I think the Catholic Church it was off by a couple of days. Stephanie okay. If this is the last time we talk i love you. Or there was that preacher that said it was the end and nothing hand. Surprise surprise. Stephanie and [ inaudible ] successfully shoots susan rice off of his lawn. Yeah. We run into susan rice. Those kinds of people. Stephanie yeah. Obviously we have been talking about the tragedy in connecticut, but you tweeted if we wait for gun tragedies to stop, before we can talk about smarter gun policies, well be waiting forever. Yeah, theres a divide on the right and left about guns and it is as much cultural as it is political. I grew up in a gun family. My dad is a gun guy, and nra guy, and i have probably been to more gun shows than virtually every pundit who has appeared on cable news this week and i can tell you its time to close the loophole, reinstitute the assault weapons ban. Were never going to get rid of every gun. You know, hal was talking on the show yesterday about the culture, and there is a fear i think if you were to tell gun enthusists that all you wanted to go is register every gun that people owned, make sure that they were licensed, and thats all that was going to happen, and they were confident that thats is all that is going to happen, they would go for it. But the fear they have is somebody is going to come and scoop up their guns. And where does that come from . The nra. Stephanie exactly. My favorite obama line from his press conference is that basically its time to act. We have been talking about these things for for years now. Stephanie yeah. And there are so many Stephanie Karl we have talked about this before with gay rights there does come a time when there is a perfect storm or whatever you want to say, and i feel people have said that as well and i hope you are right. We have technology that could make this process very very easy for people. Were not talking about having a shoebox full of cards with peoples information on it. It would be easy painless theres no reason we cant get this done in a way that doesnt impact honorable gun owners. Stephanie and you were republican yeah, you worked for mccain. Yes i worked for lots of republicans. Right, but interesting my dad ran with barry goldwater, and you know in world war ii when they made you take a machine gun and put it all back together my dad always said i still dont think they have ever gotten it back together. [ laughter ] stephanie i was saying yesterday i went last christmas to a shooting range when i was in montana. And i literally shot the gun once and i started crying and i left. You are right there is just a difference in maybe the way you grew up. And thats perfectly line. We have all kinds of rights in the constitution. Not everybody has to own a gun, not everybody has to use their political speech or freedom of speech to get into politics. Not everybody has to practice religion or own a gun. Stephanie yeah. The constitution says a wellregulated militia. Stephanie which leaves me out because im way too spazsy. Right. And im all for getting people have as many muskets as they want. Stephanie thats right. All right. Rightwing world. Newt gingrich echoing, what do you call it Mike Huckabee right . Yeah. Yeah. When you have an anti religious secular bureaucracy speaking to drive god out of public life, something fills the vacuum right guns. And i dont know that going from communion to playing war games in which you practice killing people is necessarily an improvement. Stephanie dont you love when he talks about moral values. Yeah. What part of congress was it the chaplains that gave the benediction that made him cheat on his wives. Stephanie yes. Who better to talk about morality that someone who served his dieing wife with divorce papers in the hospital. We are like the gaudiest country next to afghanistan. I dont think god is the problem. Stephanie yeah. Its just you cant even begin to have a logical argument when people will not look at statistics like that. You tell me there is no cause and effect. People say they had shootings in australia, yes and then they did something about it and it stopped. Yes, we can talk about all of the issues that might have contributed to this tragedy and all of the other tragedies and you know what, if the specifics were talking about wouldnt have impacted this tragedy, i guarantee you it would have impacted another tragedy. Stephanie yeah. We have already seen another guy walk into sandy took with a pipe that said assault weapon on it. And that shows a need for better security in schools. Stephanie yeah and we have got to bring logic back into this. You have to look at the last few and say, it is a young mentally disturbed guy that was addicted to violent video games, and you have to look at the whole picture. Yes, there are all sorts of things. I dont think somebody who is in their 20s, 30s, and 40s is going to be i dont think their brain chemistry is going to be changed by what movies they watch or what tv shows they watch or what games they play. Perhaps thats true with seven, eight, nine, ten, 11yearolds. All of those games and movies and tv shows are labeled, and then we have to talk about families, but that doesnt mean we have to stop talking about gun control or Mental Health. Stephanie right. We would have a harder time legally that has been tried many times the video games, and it falls under first amendment. And there are volunteer ratings on every video game sold. Stephanie all right. Here is governor bob mcdonald. What about the idea of allowing people, adults, teachers to be armed . I know there has been a kneejerk reaction against that. I think there should be a discussion about that. If people were armed not just the Police Officer but others who are trained, certainly there would be an opportunity to stop aggressors from coming into the school i have reasonable thought arm six year olds. Well, you saw that one writer who said we should teach kids to run at gunmen. Stephanie right. What this comes down to is pure idiotsy. I think its hysterical to hear people who are supposed to be law and order to think we have to go back to the days of tom stone. Stephanie yeah. Everybody else seems to be a part of this but i grew up in los angeles, and its a bit different from virginia but there was a Police Department that had officers at all of the different [ inaudible ] unified schools. If this is something that parents, families and communities are worried about, they need to talk about having security at their schools, and i hate to break it to them but that is going to cost money. Stephanie yep. Karl frisch remains in the side car. Well be right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Did you get chips for the party . Nope. Cheese plate . Cheese plate. Nope. I made something better. You used the oven . Boom [ male announcer ] pillsbury crescents. Let the making begin. [ female announcer ] why settle for plain bread . Heres a better idea. Pillsbury grands flaky layers biscuits in just 15 minutes the light delicate layers add a layer of warmth to your next dinner. Pillsbury grands biscuits let the making begin. 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. Oh, yeah ha, look what we got announcer Stephanie Miller. We got it we got, love, we got it we got it look stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show, twentythree minutes after the hour. The things that chris lavoie says to me during the break what . Stephanie you are pathetic. All right. Bill oreilly on gun control. Biden, here is my problem with this. There has to be consensus for getting anything done. You put joe biden in who is a very leftwing guy and antigun in charge of shaping this and right away you isle aliennate most people ultimately what this comes down to. If you ever take a gunsafety class you are going to hear a lot of talk about respecting guns and understanding the power of a gun. What they mean by that is the guns will kill you. Stephanie right. And the only people in this discussion that are showing they have a respect for the power of a gun are the people what are saying not everybody should have one. And we dont need assault weapons and magazines, and perhaps we should register them. Stephanie exactly. Would hate to see somebody like stephanie who is deathly afraid of guns, be a teacher and be forced to carry stephanie exactly. I got a letter from a guy in the army trained and he said i wouldnt want to be in a situation like that in a school room. No. Stephanie trained Police Officers sometimes need s. W. A. T. Teams when you have somebody like this with a military weapon. Yes, there are all kinds of things to take into consideration. Police officers my dad was an l. A. County sheriff for nearly 40 years, they practice routinely to make sure they know how to respond under pressure so they dont shoot the wrong target, so their sense of flight is not overwhelming and they can actually respond in a crisis. Stephanie thats the other thing you have to remember. The confusion there are all of these armchair heros i would have used by spiedy senses and flown from the ceiling. Stephanie exactly. You can always count on republicans to offer crazy legislation. Give the teachers you know they probably think giving the teachers is a bonus for all of the pay that they want to cut. Who is going to pay for all of those guns. Well, theyll cut their pay down to nothing. Stephanie right. You better watch out if this is part of their trickle down economics. All of these guys that commit these crimes have full body armor. Stephanie yes. Awesome. Okay. Rush limbaugh. So this guy is man of the year because idiots love him stephanie the president. Because believe me they think lowinformation voters are idiots. Person of the year stupid. The lowinformation voter should have been the person of the year. Wow. America is stupid i love it when rush projects. [ laughter ] they think voters are stupid. Yeah, i think rush doth protest too much. Stephanie you have been such a good boy you get sarah palin for dessert. The first thing that popped into my mind was what the heck has he done except drive us over a fiscal cliff. Now its matter of degree of how hard were going to hit bottom. But really what has he done to unify and make our nation a more Perfect Union . For the life of me i dont know. Stephanie who could be more unifying than you . I wanted to palin for christmas. Stephanie uhhuh. That was more like fruit cake. The holidays are an important time for the country, and an important time to go through congress, you have the fiscal cliff probably getting a vote today. President obama said the republicans need to take their war paint off, i think the same could be said about sarah palin. The lord of the flies reference was not last on me. All i have to say is [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] piggy. [ laughter ] Stephanie Karl frisch if the word ends tomorrow byebye, if not ill see you have christmas. Do you dress dexter for christmas . He has a down coat that i have been wanting him to wear for quite a while. He is more of a room and board dog, than an ikea dog. Stephanie all right. Love you honey. Happy holidays. You too. Stephanie representative karen bass next on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer Stephanie Miller. What about my part . What about the Christmas Queen . Hum . Are you going to let all of this beauty go to waste . [ laughter ] stephanie oh Marcus Bachmann is so jealous. [ laughter ] stephanie thirtyfour minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. The headline out of missouri is argument over sandy hook ends in gunfire. Yeah. Stephanie nobody was injured, fortunately. [ sighs ] stephanie america [ censor bleep ] yeah. Lots to get to as we were talking to karl about the fiscal cliff and all of that coming up. Representative karen bass us now to update us. Good morning. Good morning. Stephanie thank so much for taking time with us. Its so hard for us to keep up with the smashinations that are going on in washington. Where are we with this . We are nowhere. It seems as mr. Speaker does not have control over his caucus, so he is essentially flaying. We are waiting to hear whether they are going to vote on his plan b. We are in caucus now waiting for an update. Stephanie this has sort of blown up in his face in the sense that its not going to get very far. Its not going to pass the senate. And if it does the president will veto it. Apparently he couldnt get the votes and now he is flaying trying to figure out what to do. Maybe he wanted his caucus to say they voted to raise taxes on millionaires to try to blunt the notion that everybody understands is true which is the Republican Party wants to protect the 1 so that is the only rationale. But then you are going to turn around and vote to raise taxes again. The good thing is we have seen a crack in Grover Norquists armor. Stephanie i was just going to ask you that. It really is like we need to let them finish their argument before they come talk to us. He won cramped support from Grover Norquist who issued a statement saying he would not consider a vote for plan b. And then the Heritage Foundation said the opposite. Right. Stephanie so again, where are we with this . I dont think Grover Norquist has any credibility anymore. Because for him to waive his magic wand is say a vote for tax increase is not a vote for tax increase if i say so. So the Grover Norquist leadership i think is really cracking, but even within Speaker Boehners caucus, they are still in complete disarray and i think this is just an example of that. Stephanie and i loved that boehner tried to turn this around and say if the president vetoes his plan hell bare responsibility for the largest tax increase in history. Its like he is negotiating with himself. And this is not the first time, boehner had a Transportation Plan that he couldnt get votes for. So i think the leadership is really compromised. So is he really going to take us over the cliff so he can get past his speaker vote on january 3rd . I think this is amazing. Stephanie here is president obama yesterday. Obama they keep on fining ways to say no as opposed to finding ways to say yes, and i dont know how much of that just has to do with you know its very hard for them to say yes to me. But you know at at some point, you know, they have got to take me out of it and think about their voters and think about what is best for the country. Yep. Stephanie boy there is the rub, right . [ laughter ] stephanie go ahead. I i just think its shameful. It really is. But they have not reconciled the fact that they lost the election. They had no plan b there. They just assumed that they were going to win, and if you started off a couple of years ago saying your number 1 objective was to make sure he didnt win a second term and you had no thought what was going to come after that we see the disarray that we see now, and unfortunately the American People suffer. Stephanie yeah, if you had to guess today, are we going to go over the cliff do you think . I have always said up until today that i didnt think that was going to be possible. I cant say that anymore. Because here we are a few days before christmas, and we think that were probably going to vote on his plan b and then were going to break. And the question is whether they will bring us back after christmas. And Speaker Boehner might not be able to get the vote for any version of his plan b and if that is the case he is going to have to go back to the negotiating table. I think it was notable that yesterday when he presented this plan b he was on the podium alone. He didnt even have his leadership standing behind him. And i think thats indicative of the fact he really is scrambling. Stephanie representative quickly on another subject, all of the conversation is on the tragedy in connecticut and gun control, and its interesting you look at polling, the American People, so largely want you know, the things that the president is talking about. And once again im reading the Republican House could be what stops Gun Legislation from happening. Because a lot of these people all they are worried about is getting primary from the right . Right. Exactly. I think that you will find after the first of the year when we come back and Gun Legislation is put forward you know, we had already introduced a number of bills, and they are going to have to go on record saying they support assault weapons and magazines that hold 30 40 bullets in them, and i think thats shameful. And its not about the nra membership anymore. Because when you poll the membership they actually support some of these controls. This is about the nra protecting the gun manufacturers not the gun owners. Stephanie yep. Representative always so great to catch up with you. And good luck is all i have to say. [ laughter ] well, happy holidays to you. Stephanie well actually in the new year you will get less of a congressional majority of republicans. Thats all we can hope for. Thanks so much representative. You are very well. Stephanie thats one thing, Less Tea Party republicans. You are getting less. Stephanie thank you. Glen in wisconsin, you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Hello, glen . Glen left the phone. Stephanie michelle in believerton. [ giggling ] stephanie hi michelle. Caller stephanie i would like to talk about the video games and such and video games do affect kids. I see it firsthand in the classroom. They become agitated and frustrated. Stephanie right. Caller and you mentioned the ratings systems, and they are completely off. A rated g movie actually has violence in it. And i would like to propose the challenge find me a disney movie that doesnt have violence in it. Even bambys parent is killed. And the parents are so desensitized that they dont see it as a problem, and a lot of the parents i have experienced, is they let their 6 and 7 year olds play games rated mature. I think it is something that needs to be addressed in this huge problem. Stephanie yeah, i was going to say i know even the gaming industry is struggling with this. This is so foreign to me honestly. I have never seen or played one of these games. But this years electronic expo literally they are describing soul searching going on in the community. They were saying some attendees were stunned with the violence. A scene from one showed the hero torturing the enemy. And slaughtering a group of lingerie clads a assassins. Caller yes. And those particular games are rated m for mature. Caller thats right. But i think its really important that we educate the parents as as to the fact that childrens brains are just developing and you are inputting this negativity and violence and making it not only realistic but making it a part of life. Stephanie one of the designers actually said the ultra violence has to stop. I do believe were fetishizing the violence. Caller yes, there are some dance games and i have seen these you are supposed to dance, and the moves i see kindergartners some of the moves and its sexist some of the moves that the girls come in, i am shocked at how they are moving. And i agree chris it is a parental problem, but at one point that old adage it takes a village. Why are adults so addicted to that violence, that they are unwilling to sacrifice. Myself i would have no problem to ever see a violent video game if it meant the children werent behaving violently. But then you are taking away my freedoms. I have a problem with that. Caller im not saying to take them away, but why cant they be regulated, and held behind the counter they are. Caller well okay. I agree. But when is the whole village going to be willing to sacrifice something. Right . Stephanie John Hickenlooper said there might be come section with people who might go over the edge. Its clearly its people that are already mentally unstable and have access to assault weapons. Caller absolutely. But somebody said these are people with propensity to violence. I saw a little boy who was the nicest kindest he would cry if somebody picked on him, and he got a hand held game and his mom and she was like 5foot, and she came in and told me one day that she stomped and broke the 100 machine, because he began hitting his sister every time he was playing these games. And these werent even super violent games, it was because he was so intense in playing that he would get interrupted that she made noise. And whether stomping it was the right thing, she told me i have never seen behavior like that. Stephanie yes. Good points, michelle. Thanks for calling. Okay. Fortyeight minutes after the hour. You can explain later why you just threw your hands in the air and scauffed. War in syria, fraud on wall street, destruction of medicare and medicaid. There are real issues here. Having been a governor, i know that tradeoffs are tough. Things everyday exploding around the world that leave no shortage for exciting conversations. I want our viewer to understand why things have happened. At the end of the show, you know what has happened, why its happened and more importantly, whats going to happen tomorrow. [ boy 1 ] hey thats the last crescent. Oh, did you want it . Yea well split it. [ female announcer ] made fresh, so light buttery and flakey. Thats half thats not half guys, i have more thanks mom [ female announcer ] pillsbury crescents. Let the making begin the saying easy as pie . I get it now. Just unroll it fill, top, bake, and present. That must have taken you forever it was really tough. [ female announcer ] pillsbury pie crust. Let the making begin jennifer its these talking points that the right have about the heavy hand of government. I want to have that conversation. Really you know, id like to arm our viewers with the ability to argue with their conservative uncle joe over the dinner table. [ inaudible ] announcer Stephanie Miller. [ inaudible ] stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. Fiftythree minutes after the hour. Online gaming call for virtual ceasefire. Fortunately the fist cuffs are just starting here on the spring training. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie all right, Jacki Schechner wants to back chris Jacki Schechner who has worked in the video Game Industry. Stephanie right. Hello, jacki. Hello stephanie hello. I know i get attacked every time i come on and do this. Not from me. There continues to be study after study to say there is no connection between entertainment and real life violence. I think intuitively our brain wants to say there is a connection, because it seems logical, but the evidence has piled up year after year after year that there is no connection. Stephanie but i dont know that thats particular true. Not just my best friend who is a psychologist there are studies you know you are saying you can prove an absolute causal link, but psychologists have done studies and they do think there is an effect. There is an article that was just out last night, analyzed the ten Largest Video game markets in the world and found no statistical correlation. You look at japan, for example, which has tremendous video game consumption, and they play all of the games that we do and they dont have the violence that we have. Stephanie yes, thats absolutely true. The gun laws i think is the biggest piece, Mental Health is the biggest piece, but we cant sit here and say the last several of these Mass Shootings i think addiction is really strong. We dont know that theres an addiction to violent video games some people do sit there and play them for 12 15 hours on end. Yeah. We dont have that information about adam lanza. I think that thats a stretch. And i think its very dangerous to make those sorts of assumptions, and if you have a mentally disturbed individual who makes a life choice, you have to look at the dauseey of that person. Stephanie Joe Lieberman said the violence in the culture, particularly with the real them of videos does have a correlation and then you have to take all of the Quentin Tarantino movies off the market. Absolutely. Im not a gamer by any stretch i played firstperson shooter games, and quite frankly they make my nauseous. They move too quickly for me. Im too old and they make me nauseous. But i defending it because i know a lot of people who play video games incredibly responsibly, and its a form of entertainment and escapism and they are smart enough to know that there is a difference between a video game and real life, and if you dont know the difference the fundamental problem is not the video game movie or music, the problem is with you. Stephanie but most people who have guns do not its access to firearms in this country. Not access to video games. Stephanie all right. Were having you back later to for another section of you are not helping. All right. [ laughter ] stephanie i love her i wouldnt be in two different thruples with her. Jennifer in d. C. , you have about 30 seconds go ahead. Caller as a parent i think there ought to be a state registry or gun registry. Because i can look up on line and find out if a person a profile, if they are convicted of felonies, and i cant find out if there is a gun in the house . Stephanie yeah absolutely. I had a friend who said that ill explain it later, because theres guns in the house. So she doesnt stay at a certain place. All right. Yeah. Stephanie fiftyeight minutes after the hour, right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme music ] stephanie representative raul coming up in just a couple of seconds. Jacki schechner in the meantime this is how much i love your youre not helping segment. Im glad you are still speaking to me now after our last segment. Stephanie yeah, well talk about this later. Its hilarious. They are trying to literally obviously it is not going to happen, they are just doing it to be what is the legal term douches. Ass hats. Youll have to read it to me. Stephanie they propose a fiveyear jail sentence for any leader who tries to impose obamacare. Oh, thats fun. Stephanie im going to make a video game about it. [ laughter ] good morning. Remember that gop fiscal responsibility thing . Well, Time Magazine got its hands on some documents in the General Services administration that showed the Mitt Romney Campaign spent almost 9 million of taxpayer money on a prepresident ial transition that never happened. He was the first candidate to take advantage of the resources for candidates to prepare for transition before they are elected. The idea behind it is to continue with National Security and that candidates are prepared. Well romney apparently through a freedom of information act request, the romney team spent 2. 5 million on office space in d. C. Almost a quarter of a Million Dollars on furniture, Communications Hardware the upside is that some of that is going to be repurposed, and given to other federal entities like any del laptops [ inaudible ]. Hearings are being held today on what happened on september 11th attack in benghazi. Four people have now resigned. Senator john kerry is heading up the Senate Hearings today.

The principal seemed to perform bravely seemed to . God. Stephanie according to reports she activated the notification center. In general a you can stop a bullet wait a minute. I was a husky 12 year old. I wouldnt be rushing anybody with a gun. Im sorry. And if you play football you still cant stop a freaking bullet.

Glen in wisconsin, you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hi, i wanted to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and happy new year. Stephanie thank you. Caller and all of these morons that think that teachers should be armed. I think the very reason we dont want them armed is because they have a lot more empathy for their fellow human beings, and they dont want to kill anybody. Stephanie right. Caller i dont think we should be forcing them to do Something Like that. Stephanie right. I have not talked to one teacher yet that said yes thats a good idea. Please, i would like to be armed in the classroom. Virginia lawmakers would require teachers to be armed. [ world news tonight theme ] wow. Stephanie they would order teachers to carry guns which they would have to pay for themselves. Of course. I think we should give them Nuclear Weapons if you had some Nuclear Weapons that would stop bad guys. Stephanie wow. If you are following that logic if you are in the more guns lobby, jim you are absolutely right. Because these kids are going in with assault weapons you need tanks. Stephanie yeah. This guy marshall no stranger to controversy. Would you like fun facts . [ funfacts music ] sure.

[ laughter ] stephanie the head of the group called a texas republican congressmans idea surprise surprise surprise Stephanie Dan grosss brother was wounded in front of the empire state building. He said think about what that is saying. It is saying the only answer to violence is more violence. The only answer to guns is more guns. Most of the chaotic Mass Shootings of past years would only have resulted in more carnage. Yes. Stephanie we have come up with the Solutions Just riffing here. Like you said anybody who wants an automatic assault weapon should automatically not have one. Maybe if they want to shoot one of those weapons they should join the military. Yeah, and they give you one for free. There you go, you solve two problems. And you can actually kill people. You solve some military staffing shortages yes. You want to be rambo there you go . Stephanie yeah. Were helpers. Those guys wouldnt survive basic training. Well there is that. Owe i have a blister. I cant march. Owe. Stephanie you know who else liked marching . [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] hitler. Stephanie okay. Jim you play the role of the gun dealer . Are you prepared . Are you even in character. Do your skit. Stephanie hello, i would like to buy a military assault weapon. Would you . I tell you what here is where you enlist and theyll hand you one with your uniform. [ laughter ] stephanie that wasnt the skit, but that will work. Do you want a militarystyle assault weapon . Stephanie yes. Then you cant have it. You failed. Stephanie you failed the background check. The previous skit was a skit. The one you just did was the skit. Stephanie that was the skit i was hoping for. Its a very simple efficient background check. If you want one of these, then you cant have it. They used to tell us in catholic school, does god answer all of your prayers . Yes. But sometimes no. Sue in rockland welcome. Caller hello. Listen, first of all everyone is right and everyone is wrong, but first i want to wish you all a very, very happy holidays. I will see you in jan. Stephanie yay by the way we know how this works in my life sometimes i pray to god, can i have a stable happy relationship. The answer is no. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] and chris asks god all the time do you exist . And the answer is no. I get that answer every know. Caller my new years resolution is to take the following politicians extinct from your show, like all of the rightwing tools like Rush Limbaugh. But as the apparently parents specialist of the Stephanie Miller show. Chris is right. It is on the parents. I have been a teacher principal and ran a school. First of all only women are stupid enough and love children enough to work for less than minimum wage to take care of peoples children to be berated and not respected by by the rest of society. And you certain wouldnt want me who couldnt operate a gun. But i went to grandsons instrumental Music Program where there were several hundred of us watch kids play and i use that broodly instruments, and we dont want that to be any different than what the wonderful creation it was. So it is up to the parents. They have to study and learn how to be parent. Michelle was dead on in terms of the fact that we are the first teachers of children and if we are dont do the right thing by our kids we are the first problem for our children. Stephanie yep. Yep. We were saying that could be the basic disconnect in the country. Any idiot can have a kid or get a gun apparently right . And have had it will rally thousands of parent teacher, parent principal conferences, and i tell parents if you dont understand how children think, how can you possibly you are not their friend. They are going to hate you and blame you anyway. My answer would be work it out in therapy when you are an adult. Stephanie thank you, honey. See you in dc. If i were a parent the only toy i would have able for my children, Chris Stephanie sodastream. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie thank you. That was seamless. No that was clunky as hell. Stephanie what is the sound it makes. [ sound effect ] stephanie how fun is that . That is fun. Stephanie and you have soda no violence at all. Only fizziness. Stephanie its the ultimate holiday gift. [ sound effect ] stephanie unlike mooks it is smart. Any level of carbonation you want, and theres no lugging, storing, disposing of bottles and cans i hate lugging and jacki had to change our cartridge yesterday, and she said it couldnt be easier. Stephanie exactly. You get the harp sound every time you change the cartridge. No. Stephanie regular diet all naturalenergy drinks. I like the new crystal light flavors. Its tasty. Stephanie and country time. All of those brand names you know and love. About the size of a small coffee maker. Its beautiful. And it starts prices start around 80. Its so Cost Effective your cans of soda will come out to about [ inaudible ] cents a can. Um. Stephanie go to sodastream. Com to find locations nearest you. I had you know i added the part about how easy it was to change the cartridge. [ sound effects ] stephanie what is this blue man group. All right. Well be right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Oh, god that feels weird and good all at once. Announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. nrrenttv three. Representative Raul Grijalva coming up and if you agree with chris and jacki and Anthony Scalia [ dramatic music ] stop it. Stephanie who noted in the last ruling, he noted that fairytales have no shortage of gore, and they are exactly the same thing as the violent interacttive video games. So well talk about that. I dont think al gore has ever been in a fairytale stephanie no not that kind of gore. I have stunned her into silence. No, you have just crossed a very weird line. Stephanie i painted you with the scalia brush. That was unfair i apologize. Thank you. Stephanie okay. Well talk more about this just lose graciously. [ laughter ] stephanie oh snap. Here she is in the current news sector. Good morning, corey booker is not going to challenge Chris Christie for governor of new jersey in 2013 instead he is likely to go after frank lauden bergers seat. He will be 90 years old when reelection time comes around, and it is not unlikely that he would retire especially if someone like booker decides to run because he is so popular. The mayor is a big twitter user and is expected to tweet his announcement later today. Dick durbin said if voter fraud is such a big problem in iowa and arizona, then prove it. Hearing were held and both testified that fraud leads to problems in the process which leads for people to not want to vote. Iowa secretary of state said until now [ inaudible ] other resources to investigate the rampant voter fraud, but then admitted since august 2012 authorities in iowa identified six people six, out of 1. 6 million voters. Same thing in arizona. The secretary of state there said he has prosecuted 15 people in the last year and a half, out of 2. 3 million voters. They dont have numbers of people actually convicted. Were back after the break. To me all the time now. She gets the comedians laughing. That hilarious. And the thinkers thinking. Joy okay so. Theres wiggle room in the Ten Commandments is what youre telling me . Shes joy behar. Joy and the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking .

It is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. Six minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. I would tune in tomorrow last day before vacation, always a totally unhinged show. Wildly entertaining. And tbone is going to make flirtinis. Stephanie awesome. Sexy liberalpalooza in washington, d. C. The cause the brady senor the brady senator to prevent gun violence. We found Raul Grijalva of the great state of arizona. Good morning congressman. Good morning. Stephanie we were listening to the president yesterday talking about gun violence i have heard talks from a lot of legislatures thus far, and we talked to you after the tragic tucson shootings in your state. Is it different this time . I really believe it is stephny is. Its a different sense, you know . You know, the the nra there is the example i use, they are not up in their hind quarters growling at everybody. They have been muted. Well see what they state their press conference on friday. Stephanie right. But generally, i think they understand when you have almost 70 of the American People at the minimum saying ban assault weapons, ban her to magazine clips with 30 to 60 bullets, have background checks at gun shows so that 40 of the guns in america have no background checks whatsoever and those are minimal, common sense, gun safety issues that 70 of the American Public wants. And the nra has made themselves such an Extremist Organization on this issue, everything is a violation of the Second Amendment. I think the American People have now left them behind and this tragedy when you see babys and their teachers the one sanctuary that all of us have always viewed the school as a sanctuary, where you go to be safe and taken care of and to have that violated i think was a shock. Unfortunately a shock that i hope we didnt need in order to deal with this issue of gun control, but a shock that i think has moved america off of the nras position in a very dramatic position. Stephanie i agree. Its interesting as i listen to you talk and were also on the verge of the fiscal cliff, i was making the analogy in my head who are they . The nra we didnt elect them. You guys didnt sign a pledge to the nra. The republicans why are they signing a pledge to a person like Grover Norquist. I think you are absolutely right when you look at the polling and what the American People want that would be the important thing to realize is that the nra is not all howerful right . Yeah, and i think the domination of the Republican Party, the moderates are extinct in that party, anybody that attempts to draw some consensus or compromise is not tolerated, and that extreme branch of the party who basically has been running the show i think their brand is wornout and its wornout because now you have a cumulative effect of lack of policies, lack of oversight, lack of gun control, the threat of the were not going to raise the debt ceiling unless you make all of these draconian cuts, congress unfortunately made the deal, and here we find ourselves at this cliff again. Thats what is really at stake here . Stephanie but lets talk about that separately in a moment, but is that going to happen with Gun Legislation . Are these House Republicans going to stop any kind of sensible gun control . I dont think they can. When you have people peeling off that have been they are democrats, but historic supporters of the nra john [ inaudible ] im sorry, i cant be with you. When you have when you have republicans saying well theres got to be something common sense we can agree to to begin to deal with assault weapons. What i worry most about is delaying. Stephanie yeah. I thought the president said it well. Were not going to forget this horrible thing but you lose momentum. Stephanie you are right. In this 24hour news cycle that is exactly right. Thats what the gun lobby groups rely on. And the president is right about that. And what concerns me is that is to lose focus. Right now what congress can do immediately is to pass some restrictions period, and pass some protections. What they can do about the very important issue of Mental Health we keep using our jails and prisons to treat mental illness, that we re reinstate all of the resources that have got that have been cut from behavioral health, Mental Health in this congress over the last two congresses, and begin to have intervention, have a place for families to take somebody in their families that they are concerned about, have a place that a school can refer a young person to. We dont have that availability right now. So if they want to talk about Mental Health thats a simple subject too. Stephanie yeah absolutely. I think there is so much like you say, emotion right now, and we talked about when Gabby Giffords was shot, and i remember crying day that happened, and i thought i cant imagine that happening to my father. And there was a little girl killed there yeah. A baby. Stephanie and you look at aurora the temple. Stephanie right. And if its not different now, representative, how much more horrible does this have to be than twenty sixyearolds mowed down by an assault weapon . It cant get worse, and we dont even want to take the chance that it could get worse. And i think that its a whole different image. I have a sevenyearold granddaughter and grandson and its impossible not to think about them. Stephanie yeah. And i think thats what hand across america. What we cant allow to happen is to drag this out to the point where it loses momentum and then we move on to some other subject. Stephanie yeah exactly. Representative, where are we going on this fiscal cliff . Well, i think you know, boehner in an effort to try to appease the more extreme part of his caucus is the is is kind of walking away from any possibility at at this juncture. His his millionaires and above will get a will get reinstated the tax percentages that used to be and they will lose their tax breaks but also part of their package that hasnt been publicized enough is, oh by the way were going to eliminate most of the defense cuts and shift those all over to domestic spends Education Health care, Social Security. Stephanie yeah. And the middle tax cuts are there, and and and for some democrats this this might be a tough one. For me its not. To vote against this stephanie yeah. And i have a real problem with our president , and i support him and all of the good things they feel about him but to link to link the the increases cpi to to that, i think is opening up a pandoras box where where this this will be the First Initiative to be followed by other initiatives which will begin to dismantle something that the far right really has wanted to for generations which is Social Security one of their booingy men that they have always wanted to get. Stephanie right. I talked to your colleague, representative boss earlier, and the more this goes on, the more i find myself hoping we do go over the cliff. I dont know how you do your work every day and try to negotiate with these people. I just think we won this election. It was a second landslide and the American People agree with us on those issues. Yeah, and right now to try to make this who ends up getting blamed at the end, i think thats a simple answer when this is all said and done stephanie yeah. The blame is going to fall squarely under obstructionist that we have been blaming now going on four years. Stephanie listen to this. The president s proposal fails to meet the test that the president promised the American People an balanced approach. Stephanie the president ran and won on exactly what the American People want. No tax cuts for the rich anymore. And dont touch the social safety nets. Right . That was it. And that has been the balance. And we understand democrats and certainly progressives understand that in order to preserve Social Security, and medicare and medicaid for the poor in this country, that we have to look at those programs discretely and how you protect savings for the American People out of those programs. But thats a process unto itself without the threat implied in these negotiations right now. Stephanie absolutely. Representative thank you so much for taking time. Absolutely. [ applause ] stephanie there he goes, representative Raul Grijalva. Lots more to get to including more debate with Jacki Schechner over video games. Announcer its like a mensa meeting with fart jokes. Its the Stephanie Miller show. vo a tupac two pack. First, the searing documentary biggie and tupac. Followed by final 24 tupac shakur. High come on [ inaudible ] announcer Stephanie Miller. [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] that doesnt work for me. No . You need a little more than four minutes . Uhhuh. Stephanie really . Come on. Thats what his lovely wife says. He is a stallion. Twentythree minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Julie in seattle who just sent us a boat load of christmas stuff. Cheeses, ginger bread house thank you julie im totally a whore for cheese. Stephanie julie says expert who begs to differ with you ingreat staff. There are psych professionals like your friend and like dr. Davies below who are saying that certain people are vulnerable. Dismissing the ridiculous amounts of graphically depicted violence in this culture is unhelpful, because parents of kids like lanza must accept that is possible. Oh, i have another jacki is wrong email. And look who joins us now, Jacki Schechner. Go for it. Stephanie grandma deb writes, what . Jacki is missing the point. It doesnt make people commit crimes. It just desensitizes them to violence. Watching something that incorporates humor such as pulp fiction, is different. There are lots of people who drink alcohol but that doesnt mean they are all alcoholics. Dr. Davies says there are no numbers, but so personalities might not fully understand that people they harm have real lives and families. As kids grow, most distinguish fantasy from reality. I think most people are saying they are not help them. Right, but there are a lot of things in this world that are not helpful. Some people are susceptible to certain substances im addicted to cheese. Stephanie he is a cheese whore. Some people are really gullible. What . I think making video games a scapegoat is a real problem here. No offense to senator rockefeller, but if you are going to do another study about the impact of video games you will find the same thing that any of these other studies have found that there is no direct causal effect. Stephanie he said recent Court Decisions demonstrate that some still do not get it. Parents pediatricians and psychologists know better. These studies show we need to lay more ground work on this issue. He was referring to in 2011 the California Law struck down a ban to violent video games. [ overlapping speakers ] we think scalias analogies are problematic i think he is a little problematic. Stephanie which is why i lumped him in with you two to bolster my argument in an ineffective way. He is like throws the stick and runs. Its not cool. [ laughter ] stephanie jacki people that agree whether its Joe Lieberman and again people i dont necessarily agree with David Axelrod tweeted about it you should have turned back at me the donald trump stick. Because donald trump said video game violence and glorification must be stopped. And were just saying what is wrong with talking about it . Even like you were saying even if its a way to better inform parents about it. I dont think we need to stop violence in general i think we have more of a problem with parental responsibility. Stephanie right. We have more of a problem with parents paying at attention to what their kids are doing and how they are spending their time. I think if a child is holed up in a dark room for hours and hours alone, i think maybe theres a greater problem with your childs social habits. I dont think it is the video game. They could be watching television or even they could be reading alone for hours. Maybe they need to be socialized a little bit. Stephanie some people have said you hesitate to criticize this mother, but you know you do have to look at the wisdom of knowing you have meantally unstable kid and having this array of weapons that he has access to in addition to these hours of playing video games. So right. The columbine shooters were building bombs in their basement and the parents werent paying at attention. Stephanie right. When were talking about either minors or young adults who are still some way within their parental realm that theres a responsibility to put your nose in your kids business. Stephanie all right. Hang on were going to carry you through the break as we say. Well be right back with Jacki Schechner on the Stephanie Miller show. Why dont you join announcer Stephanie Miller. And me at the palace hotel. It will be a real Old Fashioned christmas. Stockings will be hung with care, and announcer Stephanie Miller. Will be stinking drunk. Stephanie you have some cheese on your face you just smeared it all over. Its white, jim. [ buzzer ] stephanie all right. Lets jingle her up to calm her down. Its schechner stephanie a psychiatrist [ inaudible ] says too many children are exposed to violent video games and that can be a problem. Yeah, i dont have a problem with that. There are lots of things i have a problem with personally. Stephanie stop putting costumes on your pets and dressing your children like little hookers for halloween. Thats right. But i dont think you can demonize an entire industry because somebody had a break from reality. Stephanie but even the Gaming Community is talking about the growing self awareness. They have called for gamers to cease Online Gaming tomorrow in honor of the victims. A lot of times it comes down to this the video Game Industry is wrestling the same issues as television and movies. But you know back to the Doctors Point real quick, video games like grand theft auto turn the violence into positives. And they are not as effected by reading a violent book the same way as they are a video game that rewards them for violent acts. I think those are good points. Oh, absolutely. But it comes down to having a conversation with your child. Exactly. I took a psych class in high school, and we watched i think clock work orange, was it that or the wall . I want to say it was clock work orange, but maybe it wasnt. And the teacher was watching the reaction of the students in the room, and was making sure that we were okay with what we were seeing. Maybe it was the wall actually. But regardless he was watching for our reactions, and then it was a combination about what were you feeling what were the emotions, what bothered you what didnt. And those kinds of things are worth a conversation and then you learn to deal with your emotional reactions to violence. If anybody felt good watching the brutal rape and beating scene on clock work orange than you have a problem. Maybe it was the wall. I did see clock work orange on my own, and that was a whole other conversation. Stephanie i dont remember my parents having those conversations with me. But to this day i cant watch violence. I dont like it. Right. Thats your choice. Stephanie right. And there are plenty of people who actually really enjoy it the same way you like a comedy. I dont like horror films. One of my favorite movies is reck room for a dream. And you didnt get a more brutal movie than that. Stephanie i think the conclusion of this conversation is you people are all bad people, and im good. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie i think all absolutists are bad people. All of them. Stephanie all right. Jacki schechner lets do another episode of you are not helping. [ world news tonight theme ] okay. Stephanie pursuing an archaic legal theory [ inaudible ] South Carolina bill chummily [ laughter ] stephanie little chummily in the water, he proposed a bill that would criminalize president Obama Health Care law. Federal officials caught enforcing the law would be given stiffer punishment under the proposal. But it is already law. Stephanie right. But i was assume it was meant to make a political statement that i am a douche nozzle. Yeah. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] a statement that i shouldnt be in elected office. Stephanie yeah it is just such a waste of time. Even now isnt it amazing, jacki, the states all of the republican governors have done these cutbacks, and Mental Health is one of the things that is impacted right . Yeah, all of these states fighting against health care reform, a lot of them are the states that need it the most. And i done understand this, the state residents should be standing up for themselves and saying this is something we need. Were talking about health care. It doesnt discriminate based on your political affiliation. You dont get cancer because you are a democrat. It has nothing to do with it. You end up needing medical at attention throughout your life regardless of where your politics lie. You dont have to like all of the specifics, but appreciate we have now opened the door to making the system better for people in this country. And granted we have got some problems and we have engaged the private Insurance Industry more than most of us would like. But were trying to make it more affordable. Stephanie yeah its like the fiscal cliff. They are just against him. He said this yesterday. Obama take the deal. They will be able to claim that they have worked with me over the last two years to reduce the deficit more than any other deficitreduction package. I think were in a position to say we have gotten a fair deal. The fact that they havent taken it yet is is puzzling. Its proof that they are ass hats and douche nozzles. Stephanie right. It is all that puzzling . Stephanie no. They have done nothing but push back on everything. You are going to compromise your way right over to the republican side, and then they are going to do a press conference and say we won. Stephanie here is the boner talking about his silly bill today. Tomorrow the house will pass legislation to make term innocent tax relief for nearly every american. 99. 81 of the American People. And then the president will have a decision to make. He can call on Senate Democrats to pass that bill,er or he can be responsible for the largest tax increase in american history. Oh, god. Stephanie nice try, boner. [ laughter ] [ explosion ] stephanie he wont even be able to pass this bill with his caucus. Yeah, it will be a test of how much power and influence he has got with his caucus. But its not going to get anywhere, because senator reid says they are not going to pass it in the senate. So its a waste of time. I think his plan b is going to stand for bourbon at some point. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] its a waste of time and i think at this point people know that. The American People are frustrated and they have had enough. Daily press conferences where they just posture. Stephanie yep, absolutely. [ mumbling ] i know, i almost slipped. I could tell. Stephanie brown liquor. [ laughter ] stephanie jacki i hope our little spat over video games will not effect the health of either of the trupples were in together. We can have makeup sex. Stephanie thats right. What do you get out of these trupples . [ magic wand ] stephanie a sad. Larry in new york. Go ahead. Caller this is such an incredible show listening to all of these people. This issue is so brood this issue of what happened in connecticut is so brood that it is going to take a long time for us to be able to do anything that is really going to have longterm effects so we have to approach it in two ways shortterm and long term. Shortterm is dealing with the guns. Were not going to get rid of them. They are here, and were not going to get rid of all of them stephanie you know what makes me happy larry is the stuff on tv yesterday with the big piles of guns with these buyback programs in jersey and elsewhere have worked nobody is coming to get your guns but what if we all worked on some part of the solution together. What if the nra is going to say well really going to push for that fingerprint recognition on the guns. It could happen. Stephanie i had a moment of happy clappy. Its amazing i am so optimistic with the tragedy that is my own life. Its the christmas season. Are you going to be alone on christmas . Stephanie no im going to be with roland. Seeing his stephanie no, christmas balls. No. Well be right back. Announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. vo a tupac two pack. First, the searing documentary biggie and tupac.

Caller hey you guys have made my christmas wish. This little gay boy in dallas texas is very happy that you took my call. Stephanie oh. Caller so were all talking about solutions to this gun problem, and i was talking to my best friends father a raging liberal up in seattle, washington, and he says let them keep their semi automatic rifles, however, they need to keep them locked up at a gun range. They take them off of the gun range, they get fined or its a mist demeanor felony they can rub their guns whenever they need to. However, they need to get these highpowered rifles locked up in a locker. Just as we did in the days of bowling balls oh i said balls but bowling balls and shoes. Stephanie yeah. I dont its an idea. Sure. Stephanie i dont think the best one, but, you know, just saying. Lee in florida you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome. Hello, lee. Caller good morning, miss miller. Stephanie hello. Caller my wife and i are huge fans stephanie im in another trupple apparently. Caller upon reading the Second Amendment saying a well regular elated regulated militia, the national chord is a wellregulated militia. So everybody who wants to have one of these weapons should be a member of the national guard. Stephanie exactly. Caller that was our idea. Stephanie all right. On behalf of your the other the other woman in your life im going to give you a hundred dollars pro flowers gift code. Caller she loves you to death. Thats the gods honest truth. Stephanie oh. Hang on were going to get your info, okay. Caller thank you very much. Stephanie i just joined another truple. Guess what [ inaudible ] is getting for a christmas a 13. 5 million house. Why . Because she needs somewhere to keep her pony. Seriously. Stephanie and a 30,000 miniature race car he bought for her in 2010. Tom is determined to make this the best christmas ever. [ laughter ] stephanie super duper christmas hah hah [ cuckoo clock chimes ] stephanie okay. Remember Rush Limbaugh going on about the president wants his own car company you know you remember that whole monologue . Yeah. Stephanie my friends he wants government to sell General Motors stock. Huh . The u. S. Government short stint in the auto business coming to an end. The government will sell its remaining shares. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie uhhuh. The Treasury Department said the Auto Industry rescue helped savemor than a million jobs but the government should not be in the business of owning private companies for a long period of time. Socialism [ mumbling ] stephanie last week the treasury sold its a final shares of American International he wants to grow commie kenyan. Stephanie the government made money on the bill out of the big banks. Fyi. No one liked bailing out the banks, and one expert without a Banking System on solid ground the economy never would have recovered socialist commie kenyan. Stephanie quoting Rush Limbaugh verbatim is the easiest way to [ inaudible ]. [ laughter ] stephanie Rush Limbaugh misinforms his audience on a daily basis. What follows are all direct quotations from his show. Some of the statements are discrediting in themselves. And constantly asserting all of these things in the course of one week. The take away is he writes one of americas most influential voices is a mess with a striking lack of self awareness. [ applause ] or as rush would say the commie kenyan socialism stephanie which is why the republicans seem to not be doing so well. Oh, yeah. Stephanie doesnt rush always say the wordy, angry, unhappy ones. The republicans have never had a more Bleak Outlook for the future. Oh. Stephanie the democratic life rating was 56. 9 . The average gop score was only 40. [ wah wah ] stephanie oh they has a sad. Just shut up shut up shut up stephanie its a sad. They need a sad bandage. A sad bandage for the right. Stephanie the biggest gap between the parties in the history of polling. Oh, little fellers. Stephanie buck up. Stephanie republicans are in full panic mode. Oh, an old white man Mitch Mcconnell and other private republicans are privately warning conservatives to put a sock in it when it comes to arguments that turn off a swath of voters. In the abscess of a sock i suggest you stuff a head ofless us the. They referenced its raining men stephanie raining old white men. Oh, gotcha. Stephanie i would not miss tomorrows show. Why .
