Not just the oscars but the [ inaudible ]. Uhhuh. Stephanie they are like what normal person doesnt think that is really cute and funny. Anything she does makes them go insane. Michelle obama puts her pants on one leg at a time. How dare she . [ world news tonight theme ] remember the bully in 8th grade, when they selected a target and no matter what the subject did the bully would mock them. Thats what the rightwing is doing to Michelle Obama. Yeah. Stephanie with conservatives and obama what is going on is painfully obvious. The more beautiful and poised she is the more they freak out on her. She did a funny video by doing the evolution of mom dancing, which is funny to every person in the country who has, is, or knows a mom. When she comes across as a genuine genuinely fun person and they said she should hide herself in shame. Mrs. Obama felt the need to up stage the oscars. Laura bush oh wait a minute. George w. Bush did it. Fdr did it. Yeah. Stephanie dear god, any way, oh, this was Jennifer Reubin she wrote it makes both the president and first lady seem small and grasping. It was down right weird. What was weird about it . Stephanie the publics like the obamas and likes seeing them around. They like that there are young kids again in the white house. They are beautiful little girls who do they think they are . Stephanie the first couple only serves to reinforce the suspicion that conservatives think the obamas dont count because of their race. Everything from her as a gorilla to you name it right . Yeah. Stephanie any day on rush limbaugh. And dont get them started on the bangs. Stephanie well, im not a fan of the bangs, but that is not important now. [ laughter ] stephanie she is awesome. And i have never seen this. Its unprecedented isnt it . So you are a bangest.

Is this like a road stop im going to be subjected to now pull over. On real housewives of Beverly Hills kim admitted that she used to go to starbucks get the coffee poor it out, and put in wine. Stephanie oh, kim. This is actually an emergency. All right. Stephanie do i have to take a breathalyzer now . You have installed one in the microphone havent you. You blew a seven. What . Stephanie what . [ giggling ] you have been saying some alarmingly straight things lately. Stephanie i know it. The world has gone insane. Lets go to sue in rockville. Caller good morning, everyone. Stephanie good morning. Caller as the official parenting specialist there is a rule in parenting which is you cannot have an tantrum without having an audience, so whining about stephanie sue did you hear somebody was comparing it to weather gate that bob woodward got an email. And you saw what the emails were it was nothing. Caller the other thing is i think we give them a timeout until they calm down and im recommending a timeout until about 2020 after hilarys first term. [ baby crying ] stephanie yeah, the president is over exposed seriously . Which is it . Caller its the media fulfilling themselves. Because people on the outside care if they can feed their families. Stephanie thats right. Just in case you havent heard this story [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie with all of the real people that will be hurt by these real cuts and this stupid sequestration, you know, brought to you by the republicans uhhuh. Stephanie white house staffer revealed threat. If you saw the actual emails its ridiculous. Its just like watergreat. It turns out not to be what the press first made of it. Woodward criticized president obamas handling of the sequestration. The official, quote unquote, yelled at me for about half an hour. He said the reporter would come to regret his writing on the sequester. And it clearly meant you would regret it because you would be proved wrong. Not because were going to burn down your house and kill your family. It was actually very friendly. Stephanie can i have festive music . Sure. [ festive music ] stephanie this is obamas economic advisor, he wrote i apologize for rising my like polite chipmunks this is the threat its worse than water gate. I apologize for raising my voice. My bad. I do understand your problems with a couple of our statements in the fall, but i feel you focus on a few specific trees that prevents you from seeing the whole forrest. The requested was to force the sequester to go back to try a bigger grand bargain, even if there were serious disagreements was part of the dna thing from the start. Woodward replies, you do not ever have to apologize to me if you believe your points. This is all part of a serious discussion. I for one welcome the heat. I am listening. Oh, no, after you. After you. Thank you. How dare you bastards. My take away is white house officials use the term my bad. Stephanie my bad. Thats kind of cluesless. Stephanie right. 24 7 fox news [ explosion ] Stephanie White house threatens bob woodward. Watergate. Shocking, just look at this oh, no, dont look at this. Stephanie yes, and the real story they are missing is the republicans are blowing up the country again [ explosion ] and they are telling you its not going to be so bad. Unless we can blame obama for it, then its going to be horrible. Stephanie charlotte in houston you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hey, stephanie. I watch you every morning. Stephanie thank you. Caller i dont know why the republicans are willing to do away with let the country go back was because we have a black president. I think thats the you know the people voted in the end. Stephanie right. Caller he is doing a great job, and i just cant understand that. Stephanie yeah. Yeah.

I mean its i have to remind people, like on the woodward i have to remind people that wood sword a huge liberal, so why Everyone Wants to jump to his defense and claiming that the white house is threatening him, again, one of the very few things i have agreed with you on also. Stephanie mike lets just get married for gods sake. You are catching me on my straight cycle today. Come on. Look alive. [ applause ] grab that chance why you have that. So thats why you have been riding a guy cycle all of these years. I was telling my friend jeff with all of these straight characteristics she has been exhibiting you might have a chance with her. Stephanie he is gay too, and we have a thing that we cant explain. [ mysterious music ] you are just mesmerized by his abs. Stephanie he carried me around in my pool half naked. And he laughed at your jokes. Stephanie what else do i need . Listen, my hearing is not very good anyway i wont know where he has been or what is going on. What is that . You havent been out cruising in the park again have you . [ laughter ] stephanie lets dive into the rightwing world. Im spiralling downward. [ circus music ] Stephanie Sean hannity. Bob woodward the man who wrote the definitive book on the sequester, and is now slamming president obama for the situation is reportedly now being warned i will use the word threatened by the white house that he will regret his outspokenness. Shut up. Stephanie actually the polite chipmunks are like really, you are kiss asses both of you. After you. Oh, no you first. Stephanie bill oreilly. There is budget chaos in washington that may result in some small automatic spending cuts. The federal government under president obama simply cannot get a responsible budget passed since the president was elected in 2008 this has happened every year. Thanks to the republicans in congress. Oops he left out that part. Stephanie im sure he said it next. Chris just cut it off early. Rush limbaugh the reason these peoples lives are crumbling is not because congress and the house with arent getting along. Its because liberalism is winning. Its because obama is successful. [ scoobydoos huh . ] wow. Stephanie oh, he is succeeding. Rush limbaugh was hoping he would fail. Its because he is succeeding that peoples lives are crumbling. Stephanie i did my job too well. Dammit. Its that famous liberalism that is destroying the economy. Stephanie right. Shock market at record high. Yeah, minor details. Mark levin does not care for eric cantor too much. Really . Stephanie fight fight fight i want you to hear what this new version of the violence against women contains but cantor and the republicans are so scared of being [ screaming ] that they will do anything. This piece of crap law which has less to do with actual violence against women and more to do with massive social engineering by the federal government what . Is going to be passed by your Republican House of representative, sent to the president , signed into law, and eric cantor threatened the conservatives who stood up and said this is an abomination. I think we should conduct a levin search politely and tell the republicans in the house of representatives, its name to step down. Stephanie i love mark levin. I have always loved with him. I agree with you mark after you. Stephanie miller one of the most popular and funny liberal radio hosts in the country stephanie i love you mark levin. [ romantic music ] stephanie and i love the sound of your voice. Anyone who knows Stephanie Miller, and there arent many know knows she has no audience stephanie what it all started so well violence against women act. Im going to punch the crap out of the bitch that came up with that one. Stephanie yeah, there was entirely too much protection in the violence against women act, you know, because it bitch. Stephanie covered bays and now it could be the violence against men act as well now that the gay marriage stephanie yeah there might be entirely too many people protected from violence, and we cant have that im just imagining kissing mark levin. Oh, god why would do you that. Stephanie jim, tony perkins. [ psycho scary music ] my name is Alford Hitchcock and thats the wrong tony perkins. Stephanie you have to keep reminding yourself its not that tony perkins. Family Research Radio thing. Here is the irony, the Democratic Party and senators that supported hagel in spite of the fact that he has a record that is deplorable on israel comes from Democratic Senators who are mostly aligned with a lot of the jewish lobby here and enjoy the money coming from the Jewish Community. The Jewish Community seems to be liberal, and supports democratic candidates, yet they work against the benefit of israel in many ways, and this is an example. So he is calling chuck hagel an anti semite while calling it stephanie isnt that what chuck hagel got in trouble for in the first place calling it the jewish lobby. Or if you use it as a verb instead of a noun. Stephanie right, i bet he has while negotiating [ laughter ] stephanie and then theres his theme song. Stephanie jahesus, was the right kind of jahew. The judao part of hanukkah. Stephanie road flair mary is going to call me any minute. Show me a poor jew [ applause ] jesus. Stephanie right, for one. Miss you mary. Pat robertson on the 700 club.

President obama now having to sign an order by midnight tonight that puts the indiscriminate budget cuts in place. The white house meeting is taking place right now, between the president , Vice President , and congressional leadership, but it is not going to do anything to stop the cuts from going into effect. Mitch mcconnell has said he will not agree to raise taxes. Sequestration rolling out over the next seven months, so its tough to tell what impacts were going to feel at what time. The Washington Post today is Fact Checking the claim that sequestration will impact meals on wheels and going to have to eliminate those meals. Meals on wheels gets a third of its funding from the federal government. The white house claims they will have to serve 4 million fewer meals. The program estimates about 19 million. Either way, these are just guesstimates, and they will have to use alternate funds from the states themselves to supplement the programs. And while the Washington Post claim the 4 million meals claim is two pinocchio worthy but any cut to seniors is not a good thing. Its a pretty, little town, with an ugly reputation. You just google harrison, what will come up is the klan. Im all for that. The kkk doesnt speak for us at all. It speaks against god. vo which side will win the soul of harrison .

Todays Republican Party any member of congress who supports any tax increase may lose his or her primary to a tea party zealot. They defy reagan and look at like amnesty they dont support anything he did. Theres more history i didnt even know that he points out in the daily beast, fine american that he is. The republicans senator flayed him for supporting the abolition of nuclear weapons. When republicans attacked hagel on being insufficiently hawkish on his bu la on iran republicans accuse hagel of being insufficiently pro war, but reagan who never invaded a country bigger than granada and he has peace talks with the last secretary general of the soviet union. Stephanie on israel, reagan did things that would turn ted cruzs hair white. When apac launched a lobbying campaign to stop the sale reagan claimed reagan backed a underresolution condemning the jewish state. In august 82 after israel bombed beirut reagan called israels Prime Minister a man whos hands had family has largely perished at the hands of the nazis, he said this is a holocaust. Oh. Stephanie what is considered proisrael in todays gop right wing activists demanded that they support a filibuster, something never done in a fight over secretary of defense i never thought i would say this, but i wish we can bring reagan back to life to give a talking to what the hell are you guys doing . Zombie reagan. [ laughter ] stephanie like lincoln. Exactly. [overlapping speakers] stephanie this show has taken a dark turn. Yeah. Stephanie seventeen minutes after the hour.

Are you a dimple chad stephanie a hanging chad from florida. Hi, chad. Caller hi, how is it going . I was just triing to figure out exactly what i wanted to ask, and i did want to ask what being liberal actually means versus conservative or whatever stephanie means you are openminded empathetic you should help over people, take care of the poor and the sick caller yeah, i would agree with that definition however, when people listen to how i talk, i app patiently come off extremely conservative. Being liberal would mean that you want to give to people which i thoroughly enjoy giving to people. I bought my nephew a brand new focus just this past christmas because he needs help. Stephanie good for you. Not everybody is like you. Stephanie had he lost his focus . No, actually he wrecked my first focus stephanie you are rewarding bad behavior you are a liberal, arent you . [ laughter ] caller i dont know if i would call myself that. As far as liberal government i think its line to me the one is like what it means to be liberal like it seems like black people, not to be making a racist comment stephanie no. No. Not to inject race in it but what about black people . Caller black people seem to be liberal. They seem to believe in Big Government or whatever. But arent black people notorious for not wanting to tip. [ buzzer ] stephanie chad wow wow stephanie are you aware that the majority of people on food stamps are white. Caller thats because 13 of this country is black, 83 is white. So obviously yes, there will be more people that are white on that. The but the percentage of black people on welfare is much higher. White people have kind of gotten a head start. Caller racism has definitely changed dramatically. Stephanie there are still people that call radio shows and say black people are bad tippers. Caller i used to deliver pizzas stephanie so every black person is a bad tipper caller most of them were. Some of them were decent. I used to have a different feeling towards blacks than what i do now. Im very much openminded now. Stephanie clearly you are. Clearly you have come a long way chad. [ applause ] stephanie okay. Oh im a little winded. I think we need to hook him up with road flair mary. Im guessing he never delivered any kosher pizzas anywhere. Stephanie okay. Im not racist but stephanie but. [ laughter ] stephanie can i just say i have traveled with aisha tyler for sexy liberal, and we shared a car service, and i think she gave him a bag of cash. [ buzzer ] stephanie what . Chad wow. Get me my ice tea. Stephanie you know im opened minded now, i have been to a restaurant and i want more ice tea. Stephanie black people barely eat food with implements and things. And they dont curse every chance they get. Who knew stephanie okay. Dee in virginia. Caller being a black person i dont know [ laughter ] stephanie i certainly hope you tipped travis before [ laughter ] caller i remember leaving tips of 15 we gave a 20 tip one time. And now i forgot my point. Stephanie i know we frequently get winded by our own show. Caller what i wanted to say is i wanted to propose a congressional sitin, a Million People it issitin in front of congress, to fine out why they are waging a war on the American People . And number 2, the other question is how do we recall the House Republicans . Stephanie yeah, i dont you wish there was such a mechanism to just recall the entire house. Yes. Stephanie all right. Well according to our last caller, you need to move along and go get your food stamps now. We appreciate you calling. All right, love you. Phil in phoenix is white and a bad tipper. Caller this is the official drunken retired blimp mechanic. Im a 58yearold white guy liberal, and not only do i not tip, i dine and dash. Stephanie phil, you cheap bastard j bastard, stop it. Hard to dash in a blimp though. Stephanie my 90yearold republican mother, the worst tipper ever. We used to wait until she would leave to add more money. Seriously we were always like mom she wouldnt want you to leave anymore money either. Im like no, just run along it was awful. 1 is is good enough. Stephanie in my day they would be grateful for that. In my day a car cost a quarter. Stephanie the coins had bumblebees on them. Hello jay in california. Caller good morning. Stephanie good morning. Caller i just want to let some things off of my chest real fast about this why they dont want chuck hagel to be in his position because he is a republican, and all they wanted to do if he was a democratic all they wanted to do was bash bash, bash, and they cant do that because hes republican. Two, the politics when obama said that he was going to change the politics, right now to me its changed, thats why the media thats why they are going against everything. Because he done whooped on them already. Stephanie right. Caller they are done. And so now the politics with the media, now they dont want to give him his give him his props, because thats going to be a political win and everything changes, if they want talking about the success, all of the uncertainty, all of that other stuff is eliminated. Stephanie yeah, got ya. I got to read some of the gop cynical slob strategy. It exactly what the caller is saying. Uhhuh. Stephanie Reba Mcentire coming up as we continue on the Stephanie Miller show. Go ahead vo currents Award Winning original series is back, with a World Premiere episode. Its a pretty, little town, with an ugly reputation. You just google harrison, what will come up is the klan. Im all for that. The kkk doesnt speak for us at all. It speaks against god. vo which side will win the soul of harrison . Were never gonna move. What i have learned is god takes care of drunks and fools and announcer Stephanie Miller. Is both. Stephanie shes trying to change the first part. Stephanie im all over the place these days. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Lets go to frank in florida. Welcome. Caller good morning. Stephanie good morning. Caller i was wondering did you folks ever notice that boner and mcconnell never talk about what the people want lately . Stephanie right. Because they know the people dont want what they want. Exactly. Caller exactly. Stephanie yeah exactly. Thank you. Thats interesting. They dont care what the people want, clearly. John in tulsa, you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller hi, there. Its a shame you were talking about reagan earlier, this would be more appropriate there. When was the first time these budget deficits are going to put a burden on our children and our grandchildren. Well stephanie yeah, exactly. That sounds familiar. Stephanie oh no zombie reagan is back. Ah stephanie lets go to donna in georgia. Caller im calling because i hear a lot of people say, i wonder why the republicans are doing what they are doing. Why are they willing to ruin the whole National Economy and all of that stuff. And every time i hear that it reminds me of a story my coworker told me. She is from alabama, and she said when the desegregation law was passed, the governing people in her little town, they decided rather than let though black Children Play in the Swimming Pool, that they would fill it with cement. And it reminds me of these republicans, rather than share the nations wealth and resources with the people they feel are undeserving, the 47 , black, brown, gay people they would rather fill the Swimming Pool with cement than share it. Stephanie thats a great and sad analogy. Caller it is sad, yes. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie we have an undate from our stoner listener. Steph im watching the show today without being high and i do have to stay its still funny. [ applause ] thats awesome. Stephanie Reba Mcentire joining us next. What oh. Stephanie thirtysix minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer free speech . What a concept. Its the Stephanie Miller show. Going to do the young turks. I think the number one thing 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 do you remember when it was september changing our mind september chasing the clouds away stephanie it is the Stephanie Miller show. Fortyone minutes after the hour. Shhhh.

One whole year, and its a story about i play a Country Singer, married to a Country Singer, and i stayed home to raise our children, and he became a bigger star and i find out that he has been cheating on me with his back upsinger.

This is huge huge [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie president obama on thursday urges Supreme Court to overturn californias samesex marriage ban and turn a skeptical eye on the similar legislation. It marks the first time the United States president has weighed in on the right for gays and lesbians to wed. They establish homes and lives together, support each other financially, and provide care through illness and comfort at the moment of death. Eric holder. This is really the latest civil rights issue. Its a question of whether or not american citizens are going to be treated with equal protection of the laws. Stephanie chad griffin said president obama and the solicitor general has taken another historic step forward consistent with the great civil rights battles of our nations history. [ applause ] stephanie and 131 republicans have now signed the gay marriage brief, to which we say hurray again [ applause ] [ patriotic music ] stephanie that is nearly double the number of republicans who signed on earlier. And i speak as a straight ally. Yeah, an Alarming Number of straight things. Stephanie i dont know what is happening. The nails . I dont know. Cynics will stay [ inaudible ] elected officials inside the gaap, but [ inaudible ] represents as vital front in the gop civil war that is willing to engage in one of the great civil rights debates of our time. [ applause ] maybe somebody got some testosterone gel in you hummus. Stephanie right. You know who else filed a friend of the court. Chris kluwe, my boy. Nah nah, nah, nah stephanie he gave me a sparkle pony tshirt. He did. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie did you see this nfl players were asked a seriouses of questions touched on Sexual Orientation, colorado tight end [ giggling ] stephanie teams ask you are you married do you like girls . Thats kind of illegal. Stephanie this from a sport that names people things like tight end and wide receiver. Thats illegal. Stephanie yeah, i know. This is another sad story, mississippi mayor, candidate found dead. First openly gay candidate found dead in the state. The case is being investigated as homicide. He was running for mayor. He may have been the first openly gay man to be a viable candidate for Public Office in mississippi. They are not saying it is foul play or anything stephanie it is being investigated as a homicide yeah. Stephanie he was found dead next to a river i know. But they dont know if it had to do with his Sexual Orientation yet. Stephanie right. Thats what im saying stephanie just saying, Sexual Orientation, mississippi in the mix, you decide. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie the house of representatives passed the violence against women act. A gop substitute bill that left out protections for lbgt people was rejected. Hallelujah stephanie lets go to bobby in jacksonville florida. Caller hey how are you doing . Stephanie good, go ahead. Caller a lot of times when i hear people talking about i should be able to own any kind of weapon i want to protect my second right amendment i mean Second Amendment right do you ever think thats really a mockery of the Second Amendment . I mean its really an abuse of it. Stephanie how so . Caller well i mean our forphaters they never could have the foresight to see what kind of weapons were going to have. Stephanie right. Thats true. Yeah, thats the point everybody makes. They couldnt have imagined and it was for a well regulated militia to fight off any sourtories. How are we doing that . I havent housed any red coats in my garage for a long time. Caller i just wanted to make a comment about turtle mcconnell mcconnells question about why are they there. Good question. Get them out of there. I think it was a stupid statement for him to make because we liberals and democrats are going, yeah . Stephanie sha. Totally. Stephanie im cure cure currently obsessed with the daily beast. They are doing this on purpose if you are asking yes, they are. He writes whatever happens this weekend establishes a watt earn you better get used to. This year will consist pretty entirely of one deadline after the other. The two sides cant agree, but at the bottom it is going to happen because republicans are perfectly happy to let it happen. One of these days barack obama is going to have to expose their strategy for what it is. Hes honest about saying im not sure how you do that. But he says we have march 1st [ funfacts music ] Stephanie March 1st thats today. Next up march 28th. New continuing resolutions. And then april 18th they will have to pass resolutions if they dont get their paychecks. Something tells me theyll deal with that one. Americans are getting more and more disgusted, and they are dragging the president down some with them. All of this will hurt republicans, they know this as long as it hurts obama too they dont care. Republicans succeed if in obstructing the senate from doing its job, it will further lower congresss favorability rating, the party that is against government will come out the relative winner. Thats what he is doing. It suits the longterm gop strategy to take some hits as long as obama is taking them too. Gery gery gery i hope we turn all of this on its ear. Then start thinking about 2016 as long as we can gum up the works, then we can head into 16 in a strong position well say the country needs strong leadership. One of these days obama needs to force a showdown. Yeah. Stephanie at some. 1 of these deadlines is going to present him with an opportunity to say enough. I think we should throw the tea party into the harbor. Stephanie fiftyeight minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme music ] stephanie all right. Hour number 3 tv world, we have representative mark takano coming up in just a moment, and representative Eddie Bernice johnson lots going on. Congressionally speaking Jacki Schechner. Yes. Well not a lot going on congressionally speaking. Stephanie well, they are accomplishing a great deal of nothing. Yeah its sad though because you know the meeting at the white house today is some sort of weird photo up. Its a little cynical, i know but the expectation is nothing is going to come of it so why bother . Mcconnell says it is just to discuss budget spending cuts in general. I do think its extraordinary that Congress Went home. Stephanie yeah, today . Yes. They are gone for the weekend. Stephanie oh good. Well they deserve that. Yeah. Stephanie ick. Jacki schechner in the current news center. Good morning, everybody. Scott brown is hosting a fund raiser in boston tonight for Chris Christie. Organizers of the fund raiser are asking for a maximum of 3,800 for christies Gubernatorial Campaign this year, but it could indicate an early jump on an interest for Chris Christie for president in 2016. 212 Congressional Democrats signed signed the friend of the court brief today. The brief says doma imposes a sweeping and unjustifiable disability on married samesex couples. The Supreme Court will hear all arguments on doma on march 27th. Ashley judd is going to speak at a forum on womens reproductive rights. Tomorrow hes receiving an award for her humanitarian work in india. She is not likely to talk about the possibility of running for senate. But judd being in d. C. Does spark conversation especially since she has already met with political donors in kentucky also both mcconnells Reelection Campaign and karl roves super pac have already gone after judd in a couple of online ads. Were back with more show after the break. Stay with us. Its a pretty, little town, with an ugly reputation. You just google harrison, what will come up is the klan. Im all for that. The kkk doesnt speak for us at all. It speaks against god. vo which side will win the soul of harrison . Were never gonna move. Save them. Woolite everyday cleans your jeans and wont torture your tanks. Woolite washed clothes look like new, longer.

Com join them in a chat room to raise awareness of scleroderma. Read, and share information, and you can change the world for scleroderma parents. Mark takano joins us now. Its getting to be old news now, gay members of congress. I know. Were such a dime a dozen these days. [ laughter ] stephanie i was talking about the president filing the amicus brief for the prop 8 case in doma. This is a big deal isnt it . It is a big deal for the participate of the United States to put his prestige on this he speaks for all of the American People. And for him to say i speak for the American People, and we believe that proposition 8 should be unconstitutional, and that people in california ought to be allowed to be married and call themselves married. Stephanie there is always people as you know on both sides that whatever the president does it might not be enough. Obviously some people are saying it doesnt go as far as some people wanted, but it seems like he is making the best argument in order to win, right . Right. Hes hes doing the best strategic argument that he can, and and in fact if if the brief that that they the argument in their brief is accepted by the court, it will go beyond california to several other states that have a similar situation, where they have pretty much all of the practical effects of marriage but arent allowed to indicate marriage. I mean this case will reach those residents of those other states as well. It is like you know, in the battle to to abolish slavery, it didnt happen in one fail swoop. It was several decades. From the founding of the country all the way to 1865 and even then the business wasnt finished so were moving remarkably fast. Martin luther king talked about there is such a thing of waiting too long. Im eager for this to get done, because i know a lot of people are eager to be able to enjoy the benefits of marriage in their lifetime. Stephanie and Martin Luther king also said the arc of justice is long, but it always bends towards justice. So they urged the Supreme Court to declare unconstitutional prop 8, but stopped short of explicitly endorsing a constitutional right to samesex marriage. Thats what some people are saying is not enough. Well in this particular case, the question the question before the court is whether to uphold the 9th Circuit Court of appeals reversal of prop 8. And there is the windsor case which goes to the defense of marriage act. And if the court rules in favor of the plaintiff there, it would essentially have federal recognition of the of all of the rights that go along with the federal rights of marriage would be attached to those people who are married in states where it is legal. These two cases would move Marriage Equality forward in significant ways. So june look to june as a very significant month for for Marriage Equality things are likely to move very, very quickly, and im very optimistic and hopeful at this point. Stephanie and i thought what were we up to 131 republicans that have also signed this brief, which i think is also significant, right . Right. Well, the country has certainly moved. Riverside county was a red county for 20 years, and voted quite heavily towards prop 8 but it also elected me. And if Riverside County can be on the right side of history, so can the entire nation. Stephanie yeah. Yeah. And things happen in fits and starts, and were were in a moment i feel like you know its 1865 on the cusp of a major civil rights, and major break through for equality. 1964 another major break through for equality. 2012, a huge were on any eve of major break through for equality. And thats what unites us as americans is a belief in the equality before the law. Stephanie right. Interesting you mentioned 64, i dont know if you know my dad ran with Barry Goldwater in 64, but he also worked on civil rights legislation as a member of congress at the time. And Barry Goldwater was very openly pro gay rights in the 80s, and if you look at this brief with the republicans thats what i think. This is an issue now that has transcended partisan politics right . I think thats right. I think that it is becoming a bipartisan bipartisan agreement, and i think its we as who we are as americans is we believe in equality. Thats just one of the prime, basic, fundamental things that unites us as a country. Beyond race, beyond gender beyond religion everybody no matter their background what they enjoy is equality before the law. I think thats a very powerful idea. Stephanie and people are starting to quote dick cheney that freedom means freedom for everybody. [ laughter ] stephanie i mean its true, right. He has a gay daughter, but its like this is about freedom. These republicans are calling them profreedom republicans. It is about freedom. Equality and freedom. I mean those two ideas go hand in hand together. And i im i come from a family of republicans as well and im one of the first democrats in my family, and this is a huge a huge deal. Im thinking oh you know you know this is funny. I find myself saying you know, among republicans, i meet a lot of republicans here on the hill and a lot of them have a lot of common sense but they are in the closet about it. [ laughter ] the violence against women act, we had a lot of republicans join on that, and that was the only way we could pass it but common sense came out of the closet yesterday. And out of the closet and into before the Supreme Court. Stephanie i got to tell you, that is progress. You can be out of the closet if you are gay now, but you need to stay in the closet if you are reasonable if you are a republican. Thats right. Were in a crazy situation where republicans have to worry about standing up for common sense. Stephanie yeah. But they face these primaries, but before their general electorate the violence against women act was too common sense call this is going to kill a lot of them in general elections stephanie they are the ones that have to worry about getting tea bagged. It is extraordinary. Right. The crazy primary will kill them, but before the general election, its like the face all of the voters you know, they are going to be judged on common sense, and this is gay marriage is becoming a common sense of course we believe in equality and of course this is the humane and right thing to do. And so you know stephanie representative what is your take on what is going to happen later this month at the Supreme Court . With the Supreme Court or stephanie yeah, i mean end of march, right that we we have to hear the first arguments, isnt it . They are going to go through the arguments, but im more concerned about what happens in June Stephanie obviously im talking about when they start the outcome of course in june. The outcome Justice Kennedy has always had the reputation on matters of equality he is a libertarian in a lot of ways and i think he is the justice that people are looking toward in history in deciding cases in colorado and other places that he is likely to be a vote that will join the other four justices and bring at least a 54. There is hope that even the chief justice might be something that and i got to say that were this is an historic moment for the court. Stephanie yeah. It is analogous to when stephanie it is a right or wrong side of history moment, isnt it . Thats right. Thats right. And i think Justice Roberts has that view of history stephanie and he came out of the closet with his reasonableness on health care so there is hope right . He did. Because you are not just judged you are on the court now you are going to be judged by history, and, you know, people you know the members of congress and the house who voted for in 1865 i watched lincoln, and it was very interesting to see those numbers rise to the occasion and stand up for what was right. Americans have an uncanny way of rising on occasion, and im hoping the members of the court they cannot resist the powerful, powerful ideas of freedom and equality. Stephanie an idea whos time has come. Representative what is your bet on whether judge scalia is going to Say Something horrible and homophobic. [ laughter ] dont put him on the spot. I hope for the best in people. I come to congress with the best of motivations, and ill just say a little prayer for the judge. [ laughter ] stephanie oh, that was so diplomatic. Representative mark takano, great state of california. Thanks so much congressman. Thank you. [ applause ] stephanie bless his heart. That but precious. Say a little prayer for justice scalia. He was also the very first openly gay minority member of congress. Stephanie i got to hang out with tammy baldwin, and her Sexual Orientation is not even an issue anymore.

[ applause ] stephanie thank you kenny pick. We all magically hate karl rove together now. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] we do. [ world news tonight theme ] Stephanie Karl rove defended his effort to find more electable republican candidates. In u. S. Senate races saying his posterior was shredded a little bit. Shredded his posterior a little bit, that would take some time. [ laughter ] [ circus music ] stephanie okay. Oh tubby i kid. There is a great piece in the new yorker. This is an interesting thing, the republican nominees in five of the past six president ial elections have disappeared from the face of the earth. Not literally of course, but all of them are gone from the political scene absent at conventions, even the most recent inauguration. It reflects a fundamental problem with the contemporary Republican Party. And all of ours are very front and center. Thats right. Stephanie although mitt romney did just resurface with some more profound thoughts. Romney we were on a roller coaster, exciting and thrilling, ups and downs, but then the ride ends, and then you get off. [ applause ] captain obvious. Stephanie pancakes and treese and other things i like roller coasters. Are those from the seven eleven bakery . Stephanie al in buffalo, welcome. Caller hey wouldnt it be practice for those in the movie industry to step up and advocate for the war and middle income folks. If folks dont have disposable income arent they more likely to go to the movie . I havent heard from Harvey Weinstein. Stephanie what do you mean . Caller the campaign is not over, and i dont hear enough people out there cam paigncampaigning. Because the republicans will do anything to basically break the will of the American People even if it means to destroy the u. S. Economy. Stephanie but im confused what is Harvey Weinstein supposed to do about the economy . Caller i think they can throw money into campaigns put ads out there to expose the republicans for what they are. Stephanie all right. Now that he has heard that. Im sure he will get right on that. [ scoobydoos huh . ] stephanie talking to you, harvey. You have a direct line to Harvey Weinstein . Stephanie uhhuh. Tbone put in my call. I have a sag card. Does that count . Its a pretty, little town, with an ugly reputation. You just google harrison, what will come up is the klan. Im all for that. At all. It speaks against god. vo which side will win the soul of harrison . Were never gonna move. You think entertainment and raunchy jokes will never be as popular as announcer Stephanie Miller. Uhhuh. It is the Stephanie Miller show. Thirtyfour minutes after the hour. The president will speak live in just a little bit. In the meantime, Eddie Bernice johnson joins us from great state of texas. Good morning. Good morning. Stephanie the president doesnt have good news does he . Not yet. Stephanie lets talk about this sequestration. You were on the science base and technology committee, the ranking democrat. Lets talk about that for a minute. How it will affect this countrys Science Innovation funding, all of that stuff. Of course we consider what we do on the Science Committee the future planning, what we try to fund the research to look out for what happens in our future so when we cut all of the funds that are slated to be cut with the sequester, were actually closing the door on our future. At the very time when we have already cut more Research Funding than almost any other major country in the world, and were just slipping further behind. We have slipped behind in educating our young people. These educational cuts would even make that worse. I just cant think of a more dismal future if we cant look out for our future now. We know cuts must come but we must be sensible enough to look out for our future and we can only do this by investing in education and research. Stephanie i think honestly were all sort of just exhausted with this whole process. What does happen now . This obviously is going to go into effect. How do you see this playing out . Well, its a roll out. It wont be a jump off the cliff today, but it is beginning today. And by the end of march when the debt ceiling comes again, it will even be worse, and if we dont start to address it before the next paychecks are due, we will see a number of people without jobs and it wont be just federal jobs this time. It will be federal related jobs. For example our defense plans. We have Lockheed Martin a large defense contractor who might have to layoff several thousand people. Wow. That will be a big hit to the economy. Stephanie representative i read a couple of pieces today from the daily beast, it couldnt be clearer to people that this is what republicans want. It does not matter what hurts the country. How do you deal with that . Thats exactly what were having to deal with, but what we dont understand is why they think this hurts the president. It does not hurt the president. The white house budget will be a little different. You know it hurts the nation. Stephanie yeah. And its unfortunate that people dislike one individual so much that they want to hurt the president. The thing that will hurt the president is is perhaps his leadership and his thoughts, but its going to hurt this nation, the end result is that young people dont get educated. We dont look out for our future. We dont have a defense. We dont have the training. So it doesnt even debate until after the afghan war. We cannot function as a normal country under these circumstancescircumstance circumstances. Stephanie yeah. And if anybody thinks this hurts the president , you have to check out who will be losing their jobs. Stephanie yes, they think they have this all figured out, they are going to hurt the president and Chris Christie is going to get elected. And i just hope we prove them wrong. Look at how all of these Voter Suppression issues they backfired. Thats true. The political need for some of the conservatives to make this country back to the Medieval Times has gone beyond reason. Because it will be some of the same people that will be nurthurt in this. And i guess it protects their future if they make sure no women or minorityies get elected. Stephanie we were talking about guess where tornados hit, red states and there will be no warning. Representative the president is speaking, so were going to cut away. Thank you representative. Thank you. Stephanie here is the president. Obama to set it right both sides need to comepromise. The good news is the American People are strong and resilient. They have fought hard to recover from this crisis and we will continue to make sure we keep the recover going. But washington sure isnt making it easy. When your businesses have finally begun to get traction hiring new workers, bringing jobs back to america, we shouldnt be making arbitrary cuts to things that businesses and workers count on. Its unnecessary, and at a time when too Many Americans are still looking for work its inexcusable. Now what is important to understand is that not everyone will feel the pain of these cuts right away. The pain will be real. Beginning this week, many middle class families will have their lives disrupted in significant ways. Businesses that work with the military, like the virginia ship builder that i visited on tuesday, may have to lay folks off. Communities near military bases will take a serious blow. Hundreds of thousands of americans who serve their country, border patrol, fine civilians who work at the pentagon all will suffer significant pay cuts and furloughs. All of this will cause a Ripple Effect throughout our economy. Layoffs and pay cuts means people have less money in their pockets, and less money to spending at local businesses. The longer these cuts remain in place, the greater the damage to our economy. So economists are estimating that we could see growth cut by over onehalf of 1 . It will cost about 750,000 jobs at a time when we should be growing jobs more quickly, so every time we get a piece of Economic News over the next month, next two months, next six months, as long as the sequester is in place, well know that Economic News could have been better if congress had not failed to act. Lets be clear. None of this is necessary. Its happening because of a choice that republicans in congress have made. Uhhuh. Obama they have aloud these cuts to happen because they refuse to budge on closing a single wasteful loophole to help reduce the deficit. As recently as yesterday, they decided to protect special interests tax breaks for the well off and well connected, and they think that that is apparently more important than protecting our military or middle class families from the pain of these cuts. I do believe we can and must replace these cuts with a more balanced approach that adds something for everybody, smart spending cuts, tax reform that makes the tax code more fair for families and businesses without raising tax rates. Also that we can responsibly lower the deficit, without laying off workers or forcing parents to scramble for child care, or slashing Financial Aid for college students. I dont think thats too much to ask. Its the kind of approach that i have proposed for two years. Its what i ran on last year. The majority of the American People agree with me in this approach, including, a majority of republicans. Stephanie snap. Obama we just need republicans in congress to catch up with their own party, and if they did so, we could make a lot of progress. I do know there are republicans in congress who privately at least say they would rather close tax loopholes than let these cut goes through. I know there are democrats who would rather do smart entitlement reform than let these cut goes through. But its a silent group right now, and we want to make sure that their voices start getting heard. In the coming days and weeks, im going to keep on reaching out to them both individually and as groups of senator or members of the house and say to them, lets fix this. Not just for month or two but for years to come because the greatest nation on earth does not conduct itself business in monthtomonth increments, and america has a lot more work to do. In the meantime we cant let political gridlock around the budget stand in the way of other areas. I was pleased that the house passed the violence against women act yesterday. That is a big win for women, families, and the American People. It will save lives and help more americans live free from fear. It is something we have been pushing on for a long time. And its an example of how we can still get some important Bipartisan Legislation through this Congress Even though there are still these fiscal arguments taking place. I will continue to push for initiatives. Im going to keep pushing for highquality preschool for every family that wants it. Im going to keep pushing to make sure we raise the minimum wage, immigration reform, and reform of our voting systems, and improvements on our transportation sector, and keep pushing for sensible gun reforms, because i still think they deserve a vote. This is the agenda the American People voted for. These are americans prior advertise. And im going to keep pushing to make sure that we see them through. With that im going to take some questions. The obamaquester. Stephanie boner looks really drunk. Google eyes. Stephanie yeah, like if you shook him they would go la la la, la. Okay. Fortysix minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer the station from the hand basket to hell leaves from. Its the Stephanie Miller show. Everyone in Michael Jacksons life was out to use him. vo no one brings you more documentaries that are real, gripping, current. Can become major victories. Im phil mickelson, pro golfer. When i was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel for my pain and stiffness, and to help stop joint damage. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections tuberculosis lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions 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. You should not 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 you have symptoms such as persistent fever bruising, bleeding or paleness. Since enbrel helped relieve my joint pain, its the Little Things that mean the most. Ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. He was born to American Royalty but couldnt escape the family curse. Of all the hours in all his days, these are the ones youll never forget. I dont know what you done to me, but i know this much is true announcer i want to do bad things with you stephanie oh yeah.
