Stephanie they had a thing with a guy, and im guessing the guy was wayne lapierre. What . Good morning, everybody president obama will announce he is nominating jack lou as his new chief secretary. Lou most recently a chief of staff deeply involved in Administration Negotiations over the fiscal cliff and raising the debt ceiling, the latter being a congressional fight with republicans. He is also going to have to kind a way to fight the automatic spending cuts. Hilda solis has announced she was stepping down. She was the nations first hispanic to hold that cabinet position. She appeared on bill press monday and gave no indication at the time that she might be leaving so long. Im here today. I enjoy working with everybody. Her departure adds to the mounting criticism of the Obama Administration for now seeming to stack its cabinet with men. All of the recent nominations are white males. As for who will remain eric holder is going to stay on for a second term and secretary of veteran at fairs. Were back after the break. Stay with us. Alright, in 15 minutes were going to do the young turks. 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. Um, hello. These ugly stains are ruining my good looks and style. And good luck using that cleaner. Excuse me, miss . Hes right. Those are tough hard water stains, and that cleaners not gonna cut it.

Six minutes after the hour 1800steph12. We have more apologies to issue for mondays show. I believe we did apologize to french people and people who poop their pants. But apparently we offended people who liked diana ross. How did we offend french people . I said they are all drunks. They drink a lot, but they are not necessarily drunks. They have wine for lunch, and its a little different than stephanie me. Exactly. Stephanie we did a story about how diana ross stormed out after a restaurant. Good morning, everyone. Listen to the shows most days or watch on current. Today you guys really pissed me off taking a cheap shot at diana ross. I have seen here in concert 31 times. Oh, okay. All right. All right. Oh. Stephanie unfortunately many people dismiss her for being a diva. Well, probably because shes a bee va. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie ed in miami i could not be a bigger diana ross fan. I can do every scene from her movie. Do you know do you get what youre hoping for stephanie now im blanking see now that im Billy Dee Williams. Stephanie no i know nobody loves you brian nobody i thought somebody did well nobody does you are a loser brian wow. [ applause ] stephanie awesome. She is an oscar nomination for that. I can do the whole [ inaudible ] thousand death scene. Stephanie oh please. No. Stephanie thats where that scene ends. [ laughter ] okay. Stephanie oh the candle scene. [ mumbling ] stephanie thanks jim. Breaking news beyonce will sing the National Anthem james tailor america the beautiful at the inauguration. Very exciting. I was hoping for meatloaf. Stephanie look at what time it is . Oh, sorry. Stephanie you were so stunned by my performance you totally forgot. [ laughter ] karl. Frisch stephanie good morning, karl frisch. Were going to ease on down were going to ease on down were going to ease on down the road [ laughter ] i love the whiz i watch it every morning. Stephanie yes. Lets dive into the rightwing world. Lars larson. If you looks at feinsteins bill which i think is the model for the president. He is becoming more like hugo chavez all the time. If the president plans to go that way, everybody in america who owns one of the guns on the list be required to give up fingerprints, mug shot be entered into a database it will be your papers please like nazi germany. Stephanie hold your calls we have gotten to hitler. And hugo chavez. Its not quite as frightening as he makes it out to be. Surprise, surprise. He said if you have one of the guns on feinsteins list you have to register it. What happens when you get a drivers license . They take your picture. Its auschwitz yeah. Well see what happens. Stephanie exactly. Steve doocy fox and friends. You have the main stream media beating the drum all day long about how the republicanlead house the senate does nothing. Yeah you never hear about how they havent passed a budget in three and a half years Something Like that. Its all about those darn republicans in the house versus the president of the United States. Stephanie uhhuh. Oh good grief. What was the point of that . Stephanie that its the democrats in the senate that are obstructionists . [ scoobydoos huh . ] they filibustered more than any other senate in the history of the senate. But doocy conveniently forgot that. It was more of fox and friends attempt to try to make their audience feel like they are getting what they came there for. There is a liberal bias and only fox is going to give them the truth. They should keep the relationship going. You can ask sean hannity what happens when you lie to your audience. Stephanie yes. By the way mitt romney why isnt he singing the National Anthem . Stephanie right . Or america the beautiful. Stephanie why is the president so divisive . Why didnt he invite mitt romney to the inauguration. Only mitt romney can sound like a sloweddown record. He sounds like a 45 that is missing its adapter. Stephanie right. So its slightly off center. And meatloaf was even more off center. There was no center. Stephanie are you okay . Yeah. Stephanie okay. Dana perino. There is not that many people in washington that can name not a single friend in the city. One withdrew, susan rice. He is going to have trouble in his second term being able to advance an agenda to get what he wants done. Speaking of brainrelated events. Ladies and gentlemen dana perino [ laughter ] yes, susan rice has plenty of friends. And a lot of times what you get from the fox news folks, and dr. Keith ablow can well you this, excuse me dr. Keith ablow. Its called projection and it sounds like somebody took all of her toys ott of the sand box. Stephanie exactly. Rush limbaugh gay marriage is the new escape from slavery. What . For the civil rights crowd for the the hip left gay marriage is is up from slavery in the same sense wow. Of punishment or discrimination or what have you . I think he is off his meds. Stephanie karl can you translate that . This is right after he started comparing the push for Marriage Equality to some apparent push to normalize pedophilia. Stephanie oh right. Rush tries to stay away from me. And elton john performed at his last i guess his fourth wedding, so you dont hear him talk about it too much and he is remarkably uncomfortable when he does talk about it and it doesnt always make a lot of sense. Stephanie oh good. Speaking of not making sense its pastor john haggy. The bible requirements for getting married are these. One that you marry someone of the opposite sex. And genesis 101 says god created male and female. Anything else is too disturbed people playing house. [ laughter ] stephanie oh two disturbed people playing house. Wow. [ laughter ] i would like to point out he is basically articulating what his churchs definition of marriage is again it has nothing to do with what we do civilly. But this was the same guy that said mormonism was some strange cult. These are the types of people that are welcomed with open arms on the right by self proclaimed christians. Stephanie yep. And if we embrace half the crazy types that they have embraced it would be an uncomfortable movement too. Stephanie yes. Stephanie, i would pay to see you lose your sh. Stephanie right. On the air. Stephanie right. Right. I did the wrong spelling. I did he double toothpick. Buzz Stephanie Karl tide chris has decided to top our cake with crazy icing. Now pat robertson.

[ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie so i called you you were out trying to have a life i know the first time in like years i tried to have a life and you called me. Stephanie and you think it was something that was work related that i would bother you . Yeah. Stephanie but i was trying to understood hardofhearing darth vader. Stephanie you right click on the link and it says save as or something stephanie it didnt happen. So someone else had to second it to me and then i forwarded it. All right. Well go over all of the Academy Award nominations announced this morning. Josh in memphis, you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, josh. Caller good morning, stephanie. Im super liberal, but no one is talking about coming and taking guns from people. If that is the case and they are only considering banning the sell of Assault Rifles and there are already 5 or 7 million in population. How does that help the situation at all, a . Stephanie well it helps to not put more. Caller i agree, but it would take 80 years for the number just to dwindle down. Stephanie well, josh im a gun grabber. Caller my too. I like swords and stuff. But wouldnt we do better focusing our Political Capital on like the war on drugs and fixing that situation. Stephanie josh i just think i said this yesterday, we were talking to john yarmuth, and im a big old liberal gun grabber. But cant the gun show loophole. Isnt that one thing that we can agree on that would help . Rather than doing a large piece of legislation where there are things like you are talk about i think we should do it a little at a time. So people dont freak out. He is a member of the National Sword owners association. Stephanie right. Where that dont have large magazine clips. Stephanie right. Conversation. Lets talk about it. Really . Youre going to lay people off because now the government is going to help you fund your healthcare. Really . I want to have those conversations, not to be confrontational, but to understand what the other side is saying, and id like to arm our viewers with the ability to argue with their conservative uncle joe over the dinner table. Apparently announcer Stephanie Miller. Was so devastated by losing homecoming queen she walked into a duncan doughnuts and never came out. Stephanie 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Lots of debate in washington over guns and the debt ceiling. Representative peter welch of the great state of vermont joining us. Good morning, representative. Good morning. Stephanie i have hope this is going to play out differently. Am i misguided. Well, its worthy of worry, and ill tell you why. The republicans used this successfully. We blew it in august when we allowed them to make a link between negotiations and our obligation to pay bills, and it did real damage. We had our first credit downgrade, so they have been emboldened stephanie what you just said. For people screaming about debt and the deficit just what you said i hope people digest that. Thats right. The power to default is really the power to destroy. And they have the votes to do it, but the question is do they have the restraint not too. If we do this, number one moodys has already said well have another credit downgrade. And if Interest Rates on our debt go up by a percent, thats a trillion dollars added to the taxpayer burden, so any quote, good that they think they can do will be way offset by the catastrophic effect on the economic. Stephanie we used to have these discussions about nukes with people who were considered enemies of the United States. Thats right. Stephanie and you are like these thats why this borders on treasonous. You are exactly right. Both parties in the past have grandstanded about the debt ceiling, but both parties in the end knew they had to provide the votes so we would not default. What im arguing is we in congress should reinstate the gepart rule. That said when congress voted on a budget. Lets say the war in afghanistan or iraq that was on the credit card. Then the debt ceiling would automatically been adjusting up or down. So theres a unity between spending money and the obligation to pay debt. Stephanie yes. Somebody said yesterday that if there was a foreign entity killing 10,000 americans a year we would be in a war somewhere. So when we talk about gun violence in the United States here is joe biden yesterday. I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion unless we can do everything were going to do nothing. Its critically important we act. The president is going to act through executive orders executive action can be taken. Were compiling it all with help of the attorney general and all of the rest of the cabinet members. As well as legislative action we believe is required. Stephanie so you can imagine that has already caused the rightwing to freak out. But it is not a National Emergency what is happening with gun violence in this country . When you see 20 young children, first and second graders, kindergarten get slaughtered with the semi automatic weapons and highcapacity clips, yeah. And were having more incidents of Mass Violence in various parts of the country. And these are in the safest places. Newtown is like a normman rockwell village. What the Vice President said makes a lot of sense, and that is lets figure out what we can do on every level and do it. And not make the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is about taking concrete practical steps to try to mitigate a very bad situation. Stephanie i felt like knowing the realities of gun politics, i do think this time is different, but might it not be more practical, and im really on the liberal end of this, would it not be more practical to go one piece at a time . Can we do gun show loopholes first or whatever it is . Right. I think the concrete die gustable stepping would make sense. And the gun show loophole is really a clear one. The highcapacity clips is another. And of course the assault weapon ban, you get into really fierce debates about what constitutes an assault weapon. But these are what had been military weapons that were slightly modified for quite, civilian use. And these big very powerful assault weapons are i think something of real concern of many americans. Uhhuh. Stephanie i thought general mccrystal spoke so clearly about it, didnt you . He just said period these weapons should not be on the streets of america. These are military weapons. He did. And he was very good. Obviously there are some limits. People cant have rocket propelled grenades or m16s. But the idea that it is legal for a person to be walking in the vicinity of a school with a couple of assault weapons strapped to his or her shoulder obviously would send shivers down the spine of any parent. Stephanie yeah. I read a really powerful piece as you know the Police Officers that responded in the Aurora Shooting just testified day before yesterday. But in some ways we need to feel what the reality is, of what it looked like when they walked in there and ask the question is that the kind of america you want to live in . Thats right. Stephanie and can you imagine the officers that responded at sandy hook. And again not to sensationalize but i dont think it takes much for us to recognize what a you said earlier what a six year old looks like when they have been shot multiple times at close range with an assault weapon. Thats right. But these parents that community will never ever be the same, and, you know, it it shows that if it can happen in newtown it can happen really literally anywhere. Stephanie right. And i think i like the administrations approach. They are looking at all parts of it. Even as a liberal i think everything should be on the table. Mental health, violent video games, it all was part of the mix in newtown, right . Right. And it has to be comprehensive in every area that makes sense to do. But there is an absolutist kind of element to the gun violence debate that we have really got to get past and thats why when the Vice President is inviting nra and gun groups to sit at the table, that makes sense, because this is not an assault on the Second Amendment, and i come from vermont where we have a tradition of very responsible use of firearms, and its a family activity, where the parents teach their kids hunters safety. So there is a lot of good things that i think all of us want to maintain, but the highcapacity clips, gun show loophole and assault weapons, thats common sense. Stephanie its interesting you make a point in terms of gun laws in an area like where you come from, and also look at Marriage Equality. Im looking at what new york politicians did and a lot of republicans. Yeah. Stephanie and new york are used to gun regulations that have not impeded the problem there. Thats true. Thats a very good example. Because new york has a lot of rural counties. Stephanie yes, im from up state new york. There you go, so you know. And the reasonable laws made sense, and obviously the situation in some of the urban areas in new york is a lot different than where it is where you grew up. Stephanie right. Im looking at a new poll the nras proposal to put armed guards in schools is not supported. And Arming Teachers again not to say that every idea should not be on the table. But that is not a good one. That is just crazy. The idea that you are a teacher, and you have to show up and be basically a commissioned Law Enforcement officer and get gun training. Stephanie absolutely. But my point is all of us have to come to the table. Barbara boxer has talked about putting national guard. Sure. Stephanie im not a parent. If i were i would be pretty scared right now too. So i can understand lets look at everything. Yeah, those kinds of decisions on security i think are local decisions. Some schools do have security and i think all of us are sad that the state of affairs is such that you have metal detectors that kids have to go through. Stephanie yeah. But its the modern reality. But everything on the table with the commitment that well make progress. Thats right. That is the right approach. Stephanie there is somewhere between there and mad max beyond thunder dome. Thats right. Stephanie representative thanks so much for updating us. Thank you. Stephanie there he goes. [ applause ] stephanie he is awesome. From the tiny but awesome state of vermont. [ bell chimes ] stephanie it is just as cute as rhode island. Precious. 47 minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer free speech . What a concept. Its the Stephanie Miller show. You would rather deal with ahmadinejad than me. Absolutely. And so would mitt romney. vo shes joy behar. And the best part is that current will let me say anything. What the hell were they thinking . [ male announcer ] pillsbury grands biscuits. Delicious. But say i press a few out flat. Add some beef sloppy joe sauce. And cheese fold it all up and boom i just made an unbeatable unsloppy Joe Pillsbury grands biscuits. Let the making begin. [ female announcer ] what would you call an ordinary breakfast pastry thats been wrapped in a flaky crust stuffed with a gooey center toasted up all golden brown then given a delicious design . A toaster strudel. Pillsbury toaster strudel. So delicious. So fun. Um, hello. These ugly stains are ruining my good looks and style. And good luck using that cleaner. Excuse me, miss . Hes right. Those are tough hard water stains, and that cleaners not gonna cut it. Truth is, 85 of us have hard water and many dont even know it. You need limeaway. Limeaway is specially formulated to conquer hard water stains. Its 4 times more effective at removing lime scale than the leading bathroom cleaner. See the limeaway difference or your money back. 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 oh announcer Stephanie Miller. Uptown girl shes been living in her uptown world stephanie uhhuh. It is the Stephanie Miller show Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. Did you know actress Valerie Harper will be on the show today. What . Stephanie she calls ed asner she is going to do it again. Isnt she. She is not going to be talking about road da. Stephanie no, she had a new simpsons show. Yes on this sunday. Stephanie Vice President biden yesterday. As the president said if your actions result in only saving one life they are worth taking but i am convinced we can effect the wellbeing of millions of americans and take thousands of people out of harms way. Stephanie they may want to have something out by january 15th. Which was sooner than expected. It was originally the end of january what is it called. State of the state address. Stephanie no the john biden oh the thing. Did you see the drudge report went all apedump yesterday. Stephanie yes. What did Reince Preibus say . I dont like it stephanie i was hoping for the Reince Preibus but he doesnt talk like that. He sounds more like droopy dog. Stephanie jim in jersey good morning. Caller good morning. I wanted to point out not to just yourselves but our whole nation and think about all of these over worked soldiers that were sending through the trenches and resending them and sending them out again, and how about recently and we all love to wear the flag and especially the republican lawmakers, but recently the republicans refused to support the veterans jobs bill to help them feed their families when they finally got out of the service. Yeah. Thanks for nothing. Caller exactly. And where are the republicans sitting at home or yell about their own party . They are supposed to be fiscal conservatives, and they want to spend more money on defense than even the Defense Department . I just our whole nation takes a pause and look at these politicians and they are undermining our own soldiers and then they want support them. Stephanie yeah good point. Lets go to charles. Caller yes, stephanie i love your show. Stephanie thank you. Caller i have heard this quite a few times, where the republicans hello . Stephanie yes. Caller oh, where the republicans are continuously saying that obama is like hitler and stalin. To me i think thats exactly reverse psychology, because thats exactly what they are acting like. Stephanie i think we can dispense of all of those analogies. Yes. Because you cant top hitler. Stephanie exactly. Mike in tennessee you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome. Hi, mike. Caller hey, good morning, steph. I was thinking about my wife is a teacher, and we were talking about gun control, and the same people who date of birth want to pay her better want to break up the union, and they want her to carry a gun, and they dont want to offer hazardous duty pay or anything like that. Stephanie thats right. They spent how long demonizing teachers across the country in state after state, and absolutely. Caller exactly. Stephanie its incredible. It really is. Do you know a teacher that thinks that is a good idea . Its really. I was talking to representative welch, new york my home state got er done of Marriage Equality and gun control. New york prosecutors show bipartisan gun control can be done. On tuesday 62 elected district attorneys adopted a list of measure. Including closing the gun show loophole, it was a group of republicans and democrats coming together to talk about gun control. And people are saying this is worth taking a look at because this is what we have to do nationally obviously. Also among the recommendations, force states to the signatures on the list come mostly from republicanelected officials. He said he was able to get bipartisan consensus because the d as temperatured their political ties. Everybody is always talking about republicans they are the law and order party. Yeah. Stephanie and then they dont care what police have to say about these issues. Sure, they are union thugs. Stephanie yeah, they are ignoring what teachers think and what Police Officers think. Yeah. Stephanie most gun owners have grown up with gun restrictions that are tougher than my parts of the nation and we dont feel like were impeded. Marriage equality happened largely in new york because of republicans. Yeah. Stephanie a Virginia Tech victim at the white house yesterday. You can do it over the internet so calls it the gun show loophole doesnt effect the larger picture of gun sales in this country. Stephanie thats a good point. How do you stop internet sales. But you cant buy heroin. Technically you can. Stephanie thats a good point. It would be like trying to sell heroin on craigslist or yeah, but how do you stop people from using code words . Stephanie how do i stop people from saying mean things about me on the internet . I would like to stop that . I want to shut down the internet. Except hardofhearing darth vader what . And cat videos. Stephanie right. Fiftyeight minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. n n stephanie all right. Hour number 2. Current tv world. Valerie harper coming up on the big show. Jacki schechner a great piece entitled state mental patient appears on piers morgans show. Alex jones. Stephanie he said he is a [ inaudible ] he shouldnt be given a platform. And then he said i changed my mind, because if theres a better case for gun control than that yes, i wasnt watching but somebody tweeted oh my god, alex jones is foaming at the mouth. Stephanie right. Those are the kinds of people you would like to keep guns out of their hands. Stephanie i would think gun owners were cringing. Yeah not the spokesperson you like. Stephanie a little less spittel. Good morning, everybody Vice President biden is holding several guncontrol information meetings today as he works with officials to try to figure out proposals to present to the president by the end of this month. This morning he will sit down with sporting, wildlife, and womens group. This afternoon it will be the flar and walmart. Walmart said it wasnt going to attend and then changed its mind. The nra is sending its top lobbyist and not wayne lapierre. And Gabby Giffords and her husband mark kelly are hoping to raise some 20 million by 2014 for the new Gun Control Group they Just Announced this week. They are hoping to bring it in time for the 2014 cycle to counter the amount of money the nra spent this last season. They are off to a good start. They brought in 1. 4 million so far. But as gun control advocates try to push for new regulation they are facing deeply entrenched regulation. Any proposals they bring forward are going to have to pass through congress. And there are many in congress who dont want to see any new gun laws at all. Were back after the break. Stay with us. Arguments to feel confident in their positions. I want them to have the data and i want them to have the passion. But its also about telling them, youre put on this planet for something more. I want this show to have an impact beyond just informing. An impact that gets people to take action themselves. As a human being, thats really important. This is not just a spectator sport. [ male announcer ] this is karen and jeremiah. They dont know it yet but theyre gonna fall in love get married, have a couple of kids, [ children laughing ] move to the country, and live a long, happy life together where they almost never fight about money. [ dog barks ] because right after they get married theyll find some retirement people who are paid on salary not commission. Theyll get straightforward guidance and be able to focus on other things, like each other, which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. [ voice of dennis ]. Safe driving bonus check . Every six months without an accident, allstate sends a check. Ok. [ voice of dennis ] silence. Are you in good hands . From silver screens. To flat screens. Twizzlerize your entertainment everyday with twizzlers the twist you cant resist. But when joint pain and stiffness from Psoriatic Arthritis hit even the smallest things became difficult. I finally understood what serious joint pain is like. I talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. Enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. Because enbrel, etanercept suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and Blood Disorders have occurred. Before starting enbrel your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether youve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Dont start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. Tell your doctor if youre prone to infections, have cuts or sores have had hepatitis b have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. Ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists.

[ world news tonight theme ] stephanie do we hope to debunk their extremist views and increase their popularity . My thought at the time was at the entire time jones is not a serious participate in the discourse and contributes nothing of substance. And therefore should have been ignored. In hindsight i was wrong. Because i was just saying to jacki what better point for gun control. Yeah. Stephanie by the way it is an not an about. Jones is a faker insofar as he amplifies his views for greater impact. Other people have told me im not crazy enough no you are not. Stephanie i need to get a lot crazier. Yeah. You are crazy in other ways. Stephanie right. Just not on air. You are crazy in a way that is a hindrance. Stephanie right. Every screechy alpha dog he shouted the other night was s actually boilerplate gun fetish and morgan did a great job showing how unhinged and radical the progun Movement Really is. They are really good at acting like googleyeyed freaks. And he said unlike beck or even limbaugh, jones lacks authenticity. If i was an proponent of gun control, i would have been embarrassed by jones. Here is to hoping jones had the same effect on opponents and and glen beck spent the first ten minutes of his show explaining. Wow. [ applause ] stephanie governor cuomo. This is not taking away peoples guns. I own a gun. I own a remington shotgun. I have hunted. I have shot. Thats not what this is about.

Caller yeah, hitler paid us all back, and i lost family in the camp. So not that she has ever crossed the line before, but yikes. But while were on gun violence i want to bring in the Domestic Violence check. You read something every day about a guy who offed his family because she wanted a divorce. Stephanie yep. Caller i think that should be part of the background check. Stephanie thats a really good point. I think it was Michael Moores piece he talked about that as one of the aspects of gun violence. Caller right. And most of the time too they are not supposed to have weapons. They are probation. And the last thing is we could not all afford to have vip seats. So well be up in the very top. Stephanie oh see you there. Here is my close personal friend, Valerie Harper rohda. Stephanie i love you. And jim, and chris those cute dolls you keep bringing in [ laughter ] stephanie wow, you do watch. You are the best. We love you, and i was on your show a thousand years ago. Stephanie you were.

Youre supposed to be promoting you and your fabulous guest appearance on the simpsons. Yeah, but you guys are so smart, and you helped the election so much. I was dying.

And bart is the savior. Stephanie the school is threatened with closure after low test scores. Yes, and the book is opening next week not opening. Listen to me like a theater rat. Its being published. And im also doing [ inaudible ]. Thats right. In 2010 i was nominated for a tony, but it was great to be nominated and i know and touring hartford and fort lauderdale, and baltimore at that huge hipadrome. You should take sexy liberal there. And then im going to boston. Stephanie wow. And in between i have to go to chicago and do signings and be a writer. Which im not. Stephanie Valerie Harper you are clearly the undead. You need to share your secrets of your antiaging secrets. Right now i am exhausted. But look at all of you guys. Yeah, we get up in the middle of the night. But your exhausted is everyone elses amped. Stephanie exactly. Really it was great because i started in the theater and i always wanted to be a ballerina. Im a failed ballerina stephanie. Stephanie oh, im sorry things went so badly for you. I said mom, im not a ballerina. And she said this is fine. This is good. She used to drag me around San Francisco and introduce me to chinese news men, and she said she is roda. And they would stair at me and nod stephanie we love you Valerie Harper, we love you. I love you. And my love to ed. 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. Um, hello. These ugly stains are ruining my good looks and style. And good luck using that cleaner. Hes right. Those are tough hard water stains, and that cleaners not gonna cut it.

[ laughter ] stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. Welcome to it. Thirtythree minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. How delightful is Valerie Harper. Right . Stephanie and agedefying gravity. John . California. Caller good morning, stephanie. Stephanie hi, go ahead. Caller im calling about gun control and hunting deer with 100round magazines. I think thats a nonstarter. The Second Amendment was placed there because of tyrannical governments that may take over and because we may have to have a revolution, which is a good thing once in a while. And i dont think theres any way to get rid of guns unless we repeal the Second Amendment, kick in everybodys doors, and take their guns. Stephanie i think that might be a little extreme. News busters wont print that. But modernizing the Second Amendment stephanie right. Probably a good idea. Stephanie people who hunt deer with m16s do they still mount the head. What is that . Is that a raisin what is that . A 52 packard . I dont know. Stephanie it would be hard to identify my point. Thats what the humor was there. [ circus music ] stephanie although a gunblunder. Stephanie thats right. Hello, bill. Caller im an avid gun supporter, and i agree with you guys on 99 of what you say except for this issue. I would support a National Background check and waiting period, and closing the loophole for gun shows and thats about all you are going to get from, you know, in the current environment with the republican congress. Stephanie i have said that but i think we should do whatever we can. Caller but at the same time you talk about highcap ban, and assault weapon ban, and what you guys may not understand is like in california there is the highest capacity you can have is ten. Well, you can buy a legally what they call a 1030 magazine, so its limited to 10 rounds and you can just alter it and make at it 30round. And atf has about ten features they list that define an assault weapon, and if you have three or four of those features it is an assault weapon by definition. Stephanie which shooter was it its hard to keep track anymore. But he had 6,000 rounds bill. Caller right. Stephanie i mean what im just saying what is wrong with this picture . Were having caller well stephanie military type slaughters in our schools and movie theaters. Caller stephanie you buy boxes of wine. Do you need that stephanie no believe me i need that. Caller if you buy am mission in bulk its cheaper. But wine is not designed to kill people. Caller right. Right. Stephanie i dropped it on my foot once caller but if you are a responsible alcohol drinker, you are not going to out and kill people. But you are not going to have prohibition come back are you . Stephanie well, there are several steps between that and a gun that is designed to kill people. Right . Caller well stephanie i won that so well let it go. And were not talking about prohibition of all guns, just certain guns. Stephanie yeah and certain things help, like the waiting period. We are an instant society as evidenced by my amazon addiction. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie youre like i wanted what a month ago . Oh, i dont need a gun. I need to download the app on your phone. You will be lost for days. Stephanie all right. Mark in wisconsin. Welcome. Caller good morning, thank you for taking the call. Stephanie thank you for calling. Caller this is one of those you cant make this stuff up. The town of cornell Wisconsin High School this weekend will be hosting a twoday gun show put on sponsored by the alliance church, or more specifically, the mens group there who call themselves the alliance mens Ministry Outreach for [overlapping speakers] caller or ammo the acronym for the group. The newspaper has some classic quotes. I wont read them all to you, its just absolutely stunning, and when you talk about the lowhanging fruit, perhaps we could start with maybe we dont have gun shows in high schools. Stephanie yeah there you go. What was the town it is in . Caller the high school is in cornell, a town near monominy. Abaudbaud. Stephanie along with [ inaudible ] [ circus music ] stephanie i dont have the whole manomina song. Stephanie john boehner cant say that when he is drunk. I dont want to go to a place that i cant pronounce stephanie okay. What is wrong with us . I dont know. Stephanie what . What . What . Stephanie bob from missouri welcome bob. Caller good morning. You have me all up in arms. Stephanie well, you have the right to be up in arms. Caller i have been a democrat all my life. And im not sure that im a democrat anymore. Stephanie why is that . Caller because i dont have the same beliefs of the crap that is going on right now . Stephanie about guns in particular . Caller well, not just that. What else . Stephanie bob what are you talking about . Guns . Caller i am talking about the whole ordeal of what we were told and what is going on and and i just i just dont understand how you guys can go on thinking that [ inaudible ]. Stephanie excuse me . Caller is the problem. Stephanie that what is the problem . That one type of gun is the problem. Stephanie well, i think it is one par of the problem. Caller no its not. If that gun wasnt there, thats crazy people that kill people not guns right. The Mental Health system another part of the problem. Stephanie do you think its a good idea to let really crazy people have access to the most dangerous military style assault weapons. General mccrystal think these kind of weapons belong on the battlefield not on the streets of america. Caller you can buy a [ inaudible ] that is a deer rifle that is basically the same thing stephanie oh okay. This is what they are going to get us all gummed up talking about gun specifics. Im not saying just the gun is the problem. But you are making it easier for demented people to kill as many as people as possible. I dont think he was ever a democrat. No. Stephanie for somebody in radio, it was just the amount of dead air i no. Stephanie i was like can i edit him. Back in the days where you edited with a razor blade, you would have been fired for that. I no. Stephanie and. Also. [ buzzer ] stephanie you are silling me. And guns. Are the problem.

Governor cuomo yesterday. No one hunts with an Assault Rifle no one needs ten bullets to bill a deer and too many innocent people are died already [ applause ] stephanie why does he give every speech like that because he was giving the state of the state address. Stephanie oh, okay. I just havent heard him speak. Okay honey i need the gravy what . Stephanie maybe mrs. Cuomo is heard of hearing. In one word its just enough. It has been enough.

Stephanie she is going to go right to the top of my future wife list. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie brenda shoeman arrested last month and charged with aggravated assault and Domestic Violence after she allegedly threatened to kill her husband and his girlfriend after defecating on his floor. That will show him. Stephanie shoeman burst in the home of her est stranged husband aiming a rifle at his girlfriend yelling ill [ censor bleep ] you both. During the distraction, donovan managed to grab me weapon the rifle not the poo he snatched the weapon brenda refused to leave, she moves to the hall where she urinated on the carpet.

Wondering around some more she found another rifle and began shooting up pictures and furniture. She said to deputies what else was i supposed to do i found him with a naked chick. Well extricate yourself from the situation and go have a glass of wine. [ jeopardy theme music ] stephanie should i calm down and leave . No, i think ill [ censor bleep ] in the kitchen.

We have got to celebrate our differences we have got to celebrate our differences Stephanie Gary in indiana. You are on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, gary. Caller hi, steph thanks for taking my call. We have got to accepting on the left this rightwing talking point that the Second Amendment was put in there for a resistance to tyrannical government. Do we think that Jefferson Adams and franklin said as long as were writing this constitution thing, lets put something in there so they can shoot us if they dont like what were doing. Stephanie yeah. Caller in article 3, section 3, it says that making war on the United States is treason. Article 1, section 8, which the conservatives love to quote, specifically gives the power to congress to suppress [ inaudible ] as well as call up the militia. So the Second Amendment has to be either removed or modified stephanie you said suppress erections, right . Because if they go on for more than four hours pooping on the Kitchen Floor will suppress the other thing. [ farting sounds ] listener irene tweeted sorry momma, there is no mrs. Cuomo, there is only the girlfriend sandra lee. Stephanie good to know. Thank you. Awesome. Craig in minnesota real quick. Hey, craig.

Stephanie thats why i did it. I wonder what hardofhearing darth vader thinks about that. What . [ applause ] there you go. Its that dead air. Stephanie mike in virginia. Hi, mike. Caller i wanted to call in response to the guy that called in earlier that was trying to make the analogy on prohibition and gun control. Stephanie right. Caller i think he was a little off on that because we still have laws on the books that dont permit you to make alcohol above a certain proof because its too deadly. Stephanie yeah, thats true. Good point. Lets go to jake in illinois. Hi, jake welcome. Hello, jake . Jake . Caller hi, stephanie and the mooks. Stephanie hi, go ahead. Caller i i feel its worth noting the porn topic that came up before the commercial break. I am an adult entertainer myself so its funny timing on my part i think. Stephanie awesome. Caller anyway im coming in about the whole argument that a lot of people on the right are making about the Second Amendment, and these obviously are in i believe most cases constitutional absolutists. Stephanie right. Caller and here is the way i see it. Im sympathetic, but only twofifths of me is sympathetic, the twofifths of me that is extremely white and privileged. Stephanie and itting isnt even a partisan thing. You cant extrapolate what the Founding Fathers such things didnt exist. They were unimaginable. Stephanie right. A wellregulated militia meant these type of assault weapons in the hands of everybody, right . Caller i agree completely. I live in rural illinois so i know a lot of the gun nut people like personally in my daytoday life. And i do think it is fear of government, but i still think it goes back to a race issue. Stephanie yeah. Well, maybe. I dont its hard to tell anymore what is racist and what is not. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton is back. [ applause ] yay stephanie hooray. I really missed you all. I wouldnt say that under normal circumstances. I am thrilled to be back and i am also incredibly grateful to this Fabulous Team that i have here at the state department who never missed a beat for the time that i was away and we are focused on continuing our work finishing up everything that we can, and helping senator carey with his transition. Who still has a manual typewriter. That was cameras. Oh, okay. Stephanie did you see they gave her a helmet as a welcome back present. Adorbs. Stephanie by the way speaking of awesome women, there is a report that governor christine [ inaudible ] will get obamas nod to lead the epa. Oh, cool. Is she current or former governor . Because i would hate to run into a situation like i had in arizona stephanie outgoing. Okay. Good. Stephanie i told you i went up there one time to speak to the seattle machinist union, and she just comes up and joins the conversation. And were like talking for like a minute and suddenly the guy goes oh you are the governor. Lets go to lynette. Caller hi. My issue every time i hear about the gun think. Im thinking okay is it harder to get an abortion these days or buy a gun and kill a bunch of people when i walk in the room only considering my own fetal tissue. I am trying to make a gorge carlin comparison. Stephanie yeah that was a little doughy go back and rework that. All right. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. 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. Announcer Stephanie Miller. What is wrong with me . Im like two totally different people. Dr. Jeckel and mrs. Whore. [ laughter ] stephanie thats me. Bring it. Thirtyfour minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Lets go to brian in woodstock, new york. Hi, brian go ahead. Caller hey, stephanie im a teacher and i just wanted to let you know that i am not going to be armed in my classrooms. The thing about these people who go around doing these criminal acts is they dont give you advanced notice. If they know you are loaded they are going to put you out first. Stephanie right. It makes you a target. When they try to make it sound more reasonable, it will be kept in safes. Well you are right. You dont know when people are going to break in, so what is the point. Yeah, its crazy. [ world news tonight theme ] Stephanie Dan malloy said freedom is not a handgun on the hip of every teacher or a guard posted outside of every classroom. Thats not who we are in connecticut. And polling is baring that out, people not down with that. Eddie in milwaukee. Welcome. Hi, eddie. Caller how it is going steph . Stephanie good go ahead. Caller i guess the question i have is why are all of the gun owners angry at me. Were not asking them to do anything that wasnt there before, so when the assault weapons were a part of the ban, they promised us if we moved them into the Public Sector we would be safer. And the truth is were not. Stephanie well, as i said many times. Since the assault weapons ban has exspired deaths from assault weapons have tripled. Caller so the at arithmetic thing isnt working for them either. I just dont understand why they are mad at me. Because i said this was going to happen. And they promised me it wasnt, and it is. Stephanie yeah i hear ya. John in austin you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Hello, john. Caller hey. Hope everybody gets to feeling better there. Stephanie thank you. Thank you. Caller youre welcome. There is going to have to be a constellation of solutions for this. Stephanie yep. Caller i heard on the radio yesterday from a policeman, and he said one of the best methods of mitigation would be through litigation and make the manufacturers culpable for this stuff. Stephanie yeah, im not honestly. I think we asked yesterday if there is a lawyer that has an opinion on that. I have no idea. Lets go to tim in illinois. Hi, tim. Caller hey, [ inaudible ] assault weapon for a hunting rifle. I dont know if you have ever hunted deer, if you miss the first shot you are not getting another one. Stephanie right. Caller but i guess you can just spray bullets after it and maybe shoot your buddies in the face. Stephanie right just to second it a message. Next time. Thats exactly right. I have never shot anything you shot a gun once in your life. Stephanie and i cried and left. Karen in albuquerque. Caller hi, stephanie. Im a first time caller. You guys were talking about names of of your College Football team. Stephanie right. Caller and i wanted to share with you my high school. Oh . Caller football and Basketball Team in indiana. They were called the venisons lincoln alices. Stephanie oh, dear. Im sorry. Caller yeah, i know. There was a thing they when George Rogers clark was there in the revolutionary war, and it was alice that says [ inaudible ] help you now. At the turn of the century when they were naming the Basketball Team it was the alices. Stephanie see, i thought nothing would out do my trojans. The alices dont live there anymore. . Scottsdale, they are the artichokes. Stephanie really . Yeah. And their colors are pink and green. Stephanie oh dear. They did that so nobody would focus on the sports teams and focus on academics. Stephanie okay. Corky go ahead. Caller i think we ought to go after the guns with insurance policies. You want to buy an assault weapon you have to show a license and an insurance policy. You can set that insurance like cars do. If a cop pulls you over he asks you for your license and your insurance card. Stephanie thats right. Caller lee it up to the private sector. Thats what they are all saying. Stephanie yeah. Yeah. Caller and make the gun owner responsible for that gun so they keep it locked up, and if they dont it is going to cost them. Stephanie i hear ya. A conservative group is going after Mitch Mcconnell [ world news tonight theme ] i love this. Stephanie its for america. The conservative group. Because the rest of us clearly are not for america. Targeting Mitch Mcconnell over the deal he brokered to avert the fiscal cliff. The chairman said senator mcconnell often talks a tough game, but his actions speak louder than his words. A his role as president obamas bagman demonstrates that he is more interested in the bad deal than standing up to politicians. Mitch mcconnell is a liberal now [ applause ] wow. Stephanie thats im so insulted by that remark, im going to head right back to the galapagos islands. Very, very slowly. Stephanie it will take him a long time to get there, but still. Yeah. Stephanie i loved this in the new republic welcome to another golden era of senator. The democrats twoseat gain in the senate with 23 seats at risk, democrats are hoping to hold their own. The gain of a single seat was now expected and gaining two seats was awesome. And the new edition of elizabeth warren. The possibility of barney frank joining the. The senate has seen an influence of liberal talent. All were reelected. The class of 2008 the senate has a core of assertive brainy liberals greater than we have seen in decades. Wow, thats a very good point, norm ornstein. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie we have a bat [ censor bleep ] in the box. Just 8 now say they are tea partiers. Oh, bless their hearts. Stephanie pure kathy durrr. I say to the Republican Leadership take off your lace panties. Stephanie i bet she has said eremygurd when she saw this headline. Only 8 say they are members of the tea party. And this is rasmussen. They are a rightwing outfit. Stephanie right. 49 have an unfavorable view of the tea party. [ applause ] ergurd. Stephanie does anyone know what were talking about . We need to post it on our facebook. Stephanie its mean. Joe in chicago you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller yes, i just wanted to hope that the main stream media takes a few moments to go back and listen to news reels of fox [ inaudible ] nation talking about how shocked and outraged they were not too long ago when that democrat made some analogy that a republican was like hitler. Stephanie yeah. We just played where are they . We had like lars larson on fox news just yesterday. They went directly to hitler. If you look at feinsteins bill which is the model for the president , under feinsteins bill if the president plans to go that way, anybody in america who owns one of the guns on the list will be required to go in and give up finger prinths, mug shot, it will be entered into a data place it will be your papers please like nazi germany. Stephanie there you go. Like the dmv. Springtime stephanie all right. All right. Fortyfive minutes after the hour. Right back with the remaining moments of the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer in a Perfect World there would be no rightwing talk radio. Until then, theres the Stephanie Miller show. On this planet for something more. I want this show to have an impact beyond just informing. An impact that gets people to take action themselves. As a human being, thats really important. This is not just a spectator sport. [ voice of dennis ] allstate. With accident forgiveness, they guarantee your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Smart kid. [ voice of dennis ] indeed. Are you in good hands . vo she gets the comedians laughing and the thinkers thinking. Ok, so theres wiggle room in the ten commandments, thats what youre saying. vo shes joy behar. Current will let me say anything. I want to rock and roll all night and announcer Stephanie Miller. Every day i want to rock and roll all night and announcer Stephanie Miller.

Because this morning on her first news spot she wore a lilac table runner. [ dramatic music ] caller and then she changed. Stephanie and a raspberry beret. There was some discussion of that on twitter. Stephanie really . Jacki if you have an explanation call us now. She did costume changes like madonna or something.

Stephanie now you are in trouble, jacki is here. Hang on a second. Cc sabatia she is right. It was terrible. I get up very, very early in the morning, and sometimes i dont make the best decisions. It was one of those outfits that i thought might work but when it hit the air i thought no. Stephanie i know what you mean when i walked out the door i said cher will think this green cashmina is so cool. Thats right. Stephanie representative tim [ inaudible ] republican of kansas. He voted against john boner for speaker last week, and now he is worried he might have a target on his back. Oh, bad. Stephanie according to the congressman our country will be destroyed under another boner term. Washington insiders are coming after me. Apparently extra money will help. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] stephanie oh, god, really . A fund raiser . Blackmail. Stephanie yep. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie lawmakers officials rip aigs bailout lawsuit outrageous. A giant fiddle finger. Considering suing the federal government over the onerous terms of the bailout. Thanks america now screw you. Stephanie they are urging the company to join the lawsuit, arguing the companys shareholders were crushed by the bailout. Their asses were saved by the bailout. But not on their terms. Stephanie Elizabeth Warden had some thoughts on it yesterday. One of my favorite things you ever say is hurry turn on cnn Maxine Waters is mad. Thats right. Stephanie maxine not happy. Ian millhiezer said at the time when the federal government took a super majority interest the fair market value was slightly above zero. And rather than going under, they received 10s of billions of dollars. I have never seen an aig thank you ad. Maybe it is not running in california.

Caller erma gurd stephanie thats right. Go ahead. Caller i just wanted to respond to the caller earlier. Im a lawyer in chicago and in 2005 the republicans ran through a bill that gave blanket immunity to all gun manufacturers. They are completely nonresponsible for anything that their products do.

We hunt pigs here in and ann romney. Stephanie oh, okay. Razerbacks. Caller and you dont know if you will run into one or 40 of them. They are feral pigs. And the game and fish said get rid of as many as you can. A man is walking along, and he has a sixshot shotgun. Stephanie right. Caller what are his chances of living. Stephanie so you are saying you need an Assault Rifle. Caller like that you would need a semi automatic weapon just for your own protection. And its a problem here. They are overpopulated . Caller yeah. Stephanie is that the same degree of military assault weapon that was used in these latest killings. Caller okay. The one i have is a semiautomatic that i use stephanie how many bullets .
