[ theme music ] stephanie hello current tv land. Hour number 1. Jacki schechner good morning. Stephanie as we know jim ward yesterday missed hot brie in the studio, and wonder woman. I know it was really not a good day for him to choose stephanie one of our listeners suggested that we put hot bries stripper pole in here and you do the news wait. Wait. Stephanie it has been suggested that we send a taxi for you. So you put the pole in there, i do the news here and it all comes together in jims head. [ laughter ] stephanie and now here she is, her hotness, Jacki Schechner. Good morning, everybody. Today is the start of the conclave to pick the next pope. The 115 cardinals attended mass this morning. Now they will head to the sistine chapel. Thats when we Start Playing pope or no pope. The first signs of smoke should come up from the chapel chimney around 3 00 am eastern time. Black smoke means no pope white smoke means the cardinals have chosen the next leader. The vatican will be prepared for a new pope but it is not likely to happen right away. A cardinal needs a twothirds majority to become the next pope. New york city man on big sugary drinks is not going into effect today as anticipated. A state Supreme Court judge struck it down yesterday calling it arbitrary and capricious but the mayor says he is confident he can win on appeal. He depended his position saying he has the right to do what is right in order to save lives. And paul ryan is unveiling his latest Budget Proposal today, although it is sort of comic call to take it even remotely serious. He says he can balance the budget in ten years, but his Budget Proposal takes into contract the idea of a medicare voucher program, it also assumes the repeal of the Affordable Care act, something that is not going to happen.

Oh, never right. Stephanie lets dive into the rightwing world. [ circus music ] stephanie bill oreilly. Interesting watching the antifox media try to exploit the shootout i had with alan combs last week. These hacks tried to diminish me and this network. To quote Bernard Goldberg spitballs at a battleship. But it brought at attention to the irresponsible spending on the part of the federal government. The reason i got angry with alan combs who will be on the program tomorrow, is that he refused to acknowledge president obamas baum refusal to cut federal programs but he is cut he is cutting federal programs white house. Gov. Stephanie thats helpful. Shut up you are a liar shut up stephanie you know what his problem is doing it live. It seems to make him angry. Vodka makes you angry, doing it live seems to make him angry. This thing sucks stephanie thats mean. It will be interesting to see alan back tonight. Stephanie shawn anti. President obama and his main treatment media need a reality check because they have gotten out of control with their comments. Stephanie really. They have gotten well out of control with their comments. Stephanie yeah. That crazy liberal, obama loving main stream media. Glenn beck the crazy uncle from the basement. Hes talking about cutting the money for the states thats not to help the deficit, thats to collapse the medical system as we know it so everybody can be rushed into one single payer program. I wish that were true. Stephanie if only. If only anything they said in rightwing world was true. When the president you know presented the Health Care Bill he said this is to collapse the medicare system in america as we know it. Thats my plan. Wow, im winded halfway through. Seventeen minutes after the hour. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. This is too good to be true. Of course its real. Announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. In brookside chocolate a world of remarkable tastes comes together. Rich, dark chocolate meets sweetened soft centers flavored with exotic fruit juices, like pomegranate goji with raspberry, and acai with blueberry. Its chocolate like youve never experienced it before. And it comes from a place called brookside. Discover brookside. 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. Running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and everybody, everybody, get into announcer Stephanie Miller. Some on, get some come on get some lets get it started lets get it started in here uhhuh lets get it started in here in here. Stephanie yeah, Stephanie Miller show up in here. Twentytwo minutes after the hour. Anthony in vegas. Caller thank for taking my call. Just wanted to talk about this sequestration, one point i never really hear democrats or republicans really champion is the fact that we have, i believer over 700 to 900 military bases in over 130 countries throughout the world, and it is often used as the guise as saying were at war with radical muslim and i think its ridiculous especially with the fact that the majority of our stuff comes from china and the country where we get the majority of oil from is saudi arabia. So who are we really at war with . Stephanie not to mention, in terms of nukes we have enough to blow the world up more than 17 times over. Yeah. Stephanie so although i was suppose go on cnn yesterday. These cuts are dumb the way they are done. I believe they are telling the marines not to shoot so much. Just conserve. And like the president said and republicans have agreed they are dumb. The way these cuts are done. All right. I think im going on today you never tell me these things so i can alert the social media. Stephanie thats what you would expect. Ill be on aaron burnet today . You are on Aaron Burnett huh . I bet you are. Stephanie all right. [ inaudible ]. I think we have reached a point in the country where we are all sick and tired of the way the administration is going around blowing people to kingdom come while sitting in their living rooms because of a suspicion they might be im talking about americans. Just last week my neighbor was blown away during a chicken barbecue by his pool. Of all of the issues were looking at this is the most ridiculous and absurd. So he is taking rand paul to task. Stephanie i see he is making a lighthearted joke about having his neighbor being blown up while barbecuing chicken. We have never found of example that that wasnt true for, his humor. Stephanie you can tell by their chuckly tone jim. Blown to bits. [ explosion ] it was great. Hah hah hah psych got ya. Stephanie okay. Sorry had a little war gasm. Who is this helen alvare. Yes. Stephanie theres no question the constitution does not text wally have a right to samesex marriage. There is no question it has been banned we only have a few states allowing it now. To say it is a constitutional right would be ridiculous, and i dont think they want to be fighting for it over the next 40 years. We love you, we dont discriminate you as gay and lesbian people in the future but marriage is just not in the cards. There is nothing in the constitution that says that straight people have a right to get married too. Stephanie thats right. I swear to got i thought that was that saturday night live skit of, oh hot mic. Its not in the cards for you gays. Oh, hot mic, sorry. I got to hear that again. This is helen hi im helen, ummm. Theres no question the constitution does not text wally have a right to samesex stephanie the music is too hot yeah. To states a constitutional right would be ridiculous. And i dont think they want to be writing over it for the next 40 years. We love you. We dont discriminate you as gay and lesbian people god willing in the future but marriage is not in the cards. Were going to need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage b. We have some new people coming in and we need all the space we can get. Stephanie not in the cards for you gays. Oh, im sorry, what chris is playing the role of the [ inaudible ]. Thats right. Stephanie twentyseven minutes after the hour and also its not in the cards for you stephanie its not in the cards for you gays you are blinding me with the blow sticks stop it stephanie i bet the engineer is gay and he hates her. He is just trying to drown her out. So she just starts shouting louder and louder probably never occurs to her to turn it down i hate gays [ laughter ] its hard to be patronizing like that when they are talking loud. Stephanie im doing some reconnaissance to find out if her engineer is gay. Theres a lot of stuff that is not in the constructionitution. Stephanie yes. Im sorry it is not in the control for you, controlling the plains. [ shouting ] stephanie now pat robinson. Nothing is impossible with god. The other day the lord gave me the word that somebody was getting a million dollars. I talked to a businessman a couple of days ago. He said im just getting a check for 1. 1 million from bp unexpected. His expect went down at a particular point in time in the gulf, and they were paying off everybody that had a different income god knows. God does it all. Stephanie you know how that happened . That wasnt god that was barack obama that got the settlement from bp. Oh, that. Stephanie oh, god sent me a check stephanie is everybody here gay [ laughter ] stephanie right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Woohoo Woohoo Woohoo to the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room tonight at 6 eastern announcer Stephanie Miller. You are terrible. You have got no rhythm no coordination, i have seen two epileptics share a bowl of noodles with more grace. What is wrong with you . Stephanie what . Did you not hear my page . Stephanie have a paging system . Yes. Stephanie who knew. Why wasnt i told. Thirtyfour minutes after the hour. What i said when i was drunk stephanie you were still trying to drown me out with your passive aggressive music. This hour brought to you by therabreath. Pop a great tasting mint lozenge to stop dry mouth fast. Are you okay . Where were you . Stephanie none of your business. Okay. Stephanie mike you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Caller good morning, guys. The whole country is starting to feel like me as a black man walking through some suburb in the atlanta area. Well being suspect because of who he have a president in my eye. And thats why they are doing it. And [ inaudible ] is a mother who sacrificed his son for her country who cant get health care. They should be able to get health care because of the sacrifices they have made. Stephanie yep, you are right. Hey, mike, i think were going to do a Health Care Corner today. Oh, good. Stephanie listen [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie we just finished rightwing world, you wonder why they are fighting for some things with the sequestration they dont care about. White house tours are like binky. We have had real people call that have feeling the real effects of this sequester. Remember the two guys that gave us the white house tour stephanie yes, thank god we got ours. One of them is still in school and getting Tuition Assistance from the air force and that has suddenly been cut off, and now he has to pay out of pocket. So feeling for ya. Stephanie i know. Anyway sean hannity and eric bowling have offered 140,000 to keep white house tours open. Priorities much . Stephanie yeah. After the Obama Administration has temporarily suspended them due to automatic budget cuts. President obama was trying to stick it to rank and file congressman because they had the ability to promise tours to their constituents. Okay. During thursdays broadcast of the five, eric bowling offered president obama a deal. For the money they would spend fox news hosts could have also provided one year of nutritional and preschool programs. They could fund over 90,000 meals through the Food Stamps Program which is also expected to face cuts. [ applause ] stephanie if you really want to help some people real. But nice stunt. All right. We were i did a piece yesterday from the new york times. We were talk about apparently there are less guns since 0s if you listen to fox news or other places it is going crazy, but they were saying the percentage of households has gone down and down and down since the 70s. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie and now this, Richard Nixon wanted a handgun ban. Oh, no more secret tapes. Is there any conversation that man did not tape . Good lord. Stephanie previously unreported tapes of Richard Nixon reveal the president called for a ban on handguns. He said i dont know why any individual should have the right to have a revolver in his house. The Old Fashioned word revolver. The kids usually kill themselves with it and so forth. Nixon went on i know the Rifle Association and gun makers should be against it but people should not have handguns. Publicly nixon never called for this measure, though he said he would sign a deal that banned saturday night specials beyond that nixon took no action. At the time the attorney general told nixon the gun lobby is against any [ inaudible ] of firearms. Even Leonard Skynard was against saturday night special. Stephanie there you go. Hello, jay. Caller you guys are easy to hate and love. Stephanie okay. All right. Caller but the sequestration stephanie welcome to relationships, jay. Caller thats right. Its all a fine line, i know. There is this program i have looked into here in chicagoland, they call it congestion mittation. So the white cameras going up on the tops of streetlights, and they are cropping up everywhere. And i checked it out, and met with the engineers in one of the townships, and found it is about 95 federally funded so i guess my question how come no one is talk about you really met with a City Engineer to discuss this with him . Caller im sorry . You really met with a City Engineer to discuss this with him. Caller absolutely. I called and the guy said you can come in and see the system stephanie you are a pondexter. Caller my point is, i know what the systems cost stephanie his he was cutting in and out. Explain what he is talking about he was complaining that city governments were spending too much on cameras but are they Traffic Cameras traffic [overlapping speakers] stephanie oh, i see. It sounded like he had his little bugaboo stephanie it was his thing we love them here in hollywood, you get cheap head shots there. Yeah. Stephanie go ahead. But they rigged them to catch more people, and in the process they have actually caused accidents because people are slamming on the breaks so they dont get yeah. It has caused a huge increase in rear end collisions. Stephanie yeah. Mick in colorado you are on the Stephanie Miller show. Hi, mick. Caller good morning. Hey. First time caller, i discovered you on sacramento. I just wanted to call up and say how great your show is. Stephanie thank you. Caller absolutely. And i just wanted to make a quick comment here. Stephanie yes. Caller i dont know what paul ryans psychological problem is, but is his 33rd or 34th time that he is proposing basically the same budget, 716 billion that he says are going to be cuts that are already in savings from stephanie i know mick, the question and Charlie Pierce writes about this week why does the main stream media treat him seriously . He is just ridiculous. Like he is some serious thoughtful budget guy. Even Chris Wallace said your budget calls for the repeal of obamacare, and he is like well thats not going to happen. And he says well we think it should. Caller its an aged state i [ inaudible ] outside of maybe madison. In cheese. Caller and i think i just think that ryan needs to be put in a padded room, because he is banging his head against the wall and the same result over and over again, thats the quick definition of insanity. Stephanie yep. Caller thank you very much. Stephanie thank you, mick. If i had a nichol forever man that said he would call again. Every man. Stephanie whatever. Whatever. Stephanie we think it should be repealed. Well i think angelina should marry me instead of brad pitt but i think paul ryan should go back to lifting his 12pound girly weights. Stephanie with his hat on backwards. If you are lifting with 5pound weights thats not curls. Thats just moving your arm up and down. Stephanie by the way somebody say you can bring both of those guns to chicago. All right. We believe that obamacare is a program that will not work. It will lead to hospitals and doctors and Healthcare Providers turning people away. Stephanie okay. You are just scaring grandma. You have to remember all of that money that was taken from medicare was to pay for obamacare. We said we apply those savings [ overlapping speakers ] repeating the lies doesnt make them true. Stephanie its just you know what i mean . Its like moldy cheese where you go can i cut that off and it will still be good actually cheese you can do that. Bread, no. Stephanie okay. But sometimes it is too far gone is my point. Hes back with a plan acting like its new. [ magic wand ] its new and serious. Just like the other ones. Stephanie bold and thoughtful. [ world news tonight theme ] Stephanie Paul ryan will complete a 720 degrees flip. Nicely done. [ overlapping speakers ] with a back flip. Stephanie providers. As he revealed on fox news sunday, he said we end the raid and apply the savings to medicare, and extend the solvency of medicare. He ran against that. Ryan and Republican Leaders were opposed to the cuts, and then turned around and campaigned against those cuts in the 2012 election, and are now embracing them again. Wow [ applause ] stephanie when the car flips like i dont know how many times and there are pieces in yeah the stands. That kind of flip. Okay. Stephanie his budget will include the tax hikes from the fiscal cliff which he voted against maybe paul ryan should be wearing a helmet. But he would probably wear that backwards too. He is voting for something he was against. Now im for being against it. I dont remember. Stephanie oh boy. Isnt that wonderful, eddie. Isnt that wonderful, eddie . I wont go i wont i wont you cant make me you cant make me you cant you cant stephanie all right. Wasnt he just on the losing end of a campaign stephanie right. Just shut up a little bit.

Fiftyone minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Lets go to anthony in dc. Caller hi stephanie. I on sunday was watching fox sunday. And you know at the end of the show Chris Wallace reads letters, and he was reading a letter about the mitt romney interview from the week before, and the guy was saying well [ inaudible ] mitt romney didnt win and he was hoping that we could finally get a first lady in the white house with class, ann romney. And that guy he is entitled to his opinion, but the fact that Chris Wallace would actually read this over the air stephanie yeah. Caller the election is over you can wish he won, but he lost. Stephanie and is the implication that Michelle Obama does not have class. Caller yeah. Really . Ann romney stop it. Stephanie listen, some of the letters i get thats how fox news disguises journalism. Oh, someone wrote me. So let me put it out there. Lets go to kelly in virginia. Caller good morning, momma. Chris, love the shirt, very retro. Thank you, its a my happy camper shirt. Caller even though i loved hal sparks i really missed you yesterday, jim. Stephanie i know. Caller i have something to say about this repealing obamacare again. Stephanie yeah, again . Caller how many times are they going to do this . And every time they do it do they spend tax dollars every time they do this . Stephanie yeah, they are did. How many times was it thirtythree or something. And they are still trying to. Caller it is supposed to be fiscally conservative. Stephanie yeah. Honestly nothing they do makes sense anymore. As long as they can blame it on obama it makes sense to them politically. Stephanie thats right. Tom in st. Louis. Hi, tom. Caller hey, steph. Stephanie hi. Caller how about we take and have a congressional conclave. We lock all of the guys and gals up in the senate and dont let them out until they come up with whatever they are supposed to do. Stephanie right. I want to see white smoke and know it is a budget deal. And when they do come up with something they can just bend over and blow smoke like they usually do. [ circus music ] stephanie all right. I see what you did there. This is one of the typical yeah wheel of rightwing hypocrites. Stephanie republicans all for sequestration until something gets sequestered in their backyard. Ask wyoming house member cynthia lunis who approved the 85 billion carved across the board to constituents [ mumbling ] stephanie i was doing the john boehner pronunciation [ mumbling ] [ laughter ] stephanie so i can better communicate with my costttt until it hit home at Yellowstone National park where the park superintendent froze his work force and delayed seasonal plowing. The cuts are hurt yellowstone easteryellowstones tourism. So she invented a fantasy in which winning was the villain. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] but she is the one who cut well, she did what i told them to the idiot. What kind of idiot does that . Stephanie that yellowstone idiot. Representative nancy pelosi. I have serve a few president s as leader speaker and i have never been the patience as president obama has extended to the republicans. Stephanie yeah. Yeah. Stephanie just a little bit. Okay. And nancy pelosi again on the president. The president has always been very respectful of the views of the republicans in the congress. Their leadership and their membership. He has always tried to accommodate them. This idea that but for that we would have gotten all of these other things done is just really not reality. Stephanie yeah. Okay. And senator tom coburn republican of oklahoma. I think he actually would like to solve the problems of the country, and it would be to his benefit and certainly the benefit of every american to do that, so its time to start leading then so stop poking your finger in peoples eyes, and Start Building a relationship and i think he has an opportunity to accomplish a good deal. Stephanie yeah, thats all he has been doing is just poking them in the eye. Yeah. Stephanie he hasnt spent enough time doing curls with the budget munster. This is the first time i have ever had a conversation with the president lasting more than say two minutes. Im excited that we had this conversation. We had a very frank exchange. Stephanie you know why, because paul ryan no one wants to talk to you for more than two minutes. You zombie eyed granny starver, to coin the Charlie Pierce phrase. Who will join us this hour. The soda ban was overturned. It was at the last minute. Stephanie which is why i was canceled from cnn, because im not from new york and i dont know anything about soda. You know about sodastream. Stephanie exactly. Thats what i would have brought to the table. The whole 16ounce thing makes no sense. Stephanie right. Well talk about that and much more as we continue on the Stephanie Miller show. [ theme music ] announcer hello, current tv paging nurse jacki paging nurse jacki yes. Stephanie i need you to do a Health Care Corner with me, because when i hear things like the Affordable Care act will deplete things through rashing, that makes my head explode. Yes there is lots of health care news, including florida and rick scott. Stephanie so well do a full corner . Yes. Hospital corner. Exactly. Stephanie jacki can confirm we were at a party this weekend, and i touched her cheekbones and said this is why she looks so pretty on tv, look at that bone structure. Isnt that creepy . A little bit. Was there alcohol involved . Stephanie yes, she is used to me touching her inappropriately. Now here she is. Good morning, everybody. The Senate Appreciations committee has come up with a plan to fund the government through the end of september and lessen the impact of the sequester, they plan to vote on the spending bill by the end of the week. The house passed a similar bill last wednesday and together the two work on allowing federal agencies more flexibility as they implement the 85 billion in automatic cuts that are now underway. Center patty murray will brief fellow democrats today on a budget plan that are raise a trillion dollars in new tax revenue. President obama is expected to also attend that lunch. Tomorrow the Budget Committee will deliberate. They are expected to vote thursday. The plan then heads to the senate floor for a full vote next week. Even though some democrats may balk at the idea of voting for a budget plan that calls for an increase in taxes the legislation should garner the votes it needs to pass. The Senate Judiciary committee will vote today on several new gun bills one that bans assault weapons, one that limits high capacity magazines, one that expands federal background checks, and one that will allow more money for School Safety programs. As these laws head to the full senate for consideration, they face varying expectations of success, with the assault weapons ban least likely of those to pass. Were back with more show after the break. Stay with us. Viewpoint digs deep into the issues of the day. Do you think that there is any chance well see this president even say the words with an open mind. Has the time finally come for real Immigration Reform . And a distinctly satirical point of view. But you mentioned great leadership so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. laughter . Watch the show. Only on current tv. While your carpets may appear clean. Its scary how much dirt your vacuum can leave behind. Add resolve deep clean powder before you vacuum to expel the dirt within your carpets. Resolves deep clean powder is moist. Absorbing and lifting three times more dirt than vacuuming alone. Leaving you with a carpet thats truly fresh and clean. Dont just vacuum clean. Resolve clean. [ theme music ] announcer ladies and gentlemen, its the Stephanie Miller show im walking on sunshine woe ho im walking on sunshine, woe ho its time to feel good hey all right now its time to feel good stephanie stop making fun of the way i talk to jacki off air. We are friends. That didnting sound like friends. Snie said i miss you ill talk to you in a second. And then you said Something Like [ mumbling ] stephanie she is my health nuggy. Its schechner again theres a professional message and then the way we talk to each other. Its really sort of obnoxious to anybody who is not us. Stephanie chriss eyes get this big. Im like shut up. No, you hang up. Stephanie i showed jim a picture of hitler and it said nine, you hang up first. [ buzzer ] stephanie you were telling me yesterday about a cnn documentary. If you follow me on twitter, you know i got all riled up sunday night. Cnn bought this film called escape tire. And it made me think, gosh where the heck was cnn three and a half hears ago when we were actually fighting to save our Health Care System. It was well done but didnt teach me anything i didnt know. If anyone would have been paying at attention over there, this information would have been widely disseminated. And i guess they did a Little Research and cnn just bought this documentary. And it says this gives us an explanation of some of the factors that have contributed to our broken system and explain why we need to fix it. Really . You are just coming to this . Stephanie and it does feel like a bad replay to me. Ron johnson, republican of wisconsin, here we go again, where they are just sawing really . You saw this exchange with paul ryan on fox. And Chris Wallace is like thats not going to happen. And he is like, well but we think it should. It should. Yeah, we said this last time that paul ryans Budget Proposal was like a fantasy document because it actually couldnt be implemented the way it was laid out. Stephanie right. So he says i want to repeal the Affordable Care act, but i want to keep in place the 716 million in cuts because i need that money allocated else where, so im going to repeal everything but the part that i like, and then that were going to move around and thats my budget fantasy plan. Stephanie he should call his plan if my aunt had a [ censor bleep ] she would be my uncle plan. Yeah. They are talking like this is an actual workable plan. Stephanie right. And here we go again, ron johnson said the Affordable Care act will Degrade Health Care Services through rashing, there it is again. First of all the Congressional Budget Office finds repealing obamacare would add 109 billion to the federal budget correct . What they think and what is the truth are two totally different things. Stephanie right. He said the cost estimate for the law was grossly understated. What . No. [ overlapping speakers ] thats not how it works. People dont seem to understand that thats just not how all of this works. Most people get their insurance through their workplace now, and thats not going to change is monkeys flying out of your butt part of obamacare . Yes. And then a company it is a complicated law because were talking about the Health Care System and theres provisions in place to make all of this make sense. Stephanie right. So you are going to shove your workers out into the exchange, shouldnt you be required to contribute to that. Stephanie all right. Money. On this because with those cheekbones everybody thinks you need a snack. For the record i eat. Stephanie i have seen it. Okay. He said it dramatically increases the demand for health care. 30 million americans Getting Health Care kind of through a medicaidtype process while it reduces the supply, thats an economic disaster. Youre reducing supply increasing demand that doesnt lower the cost serve. It increases the cost curve. You know how he is scooter store was ripping off medicare . Thats the 716 billion. Thats the kind of stuff that were getting rid of. People should be in favor of that, not against it. Its waste. Its fraud abuse. Do we want to get into our friend rick scott . Stephanie nice segue. I was going to say, speaking of medicaid fraud and abuse yes, he ran the Hospital Group that was the Largest Company in the history of time to defraud medicare. Stephanie so is there new news . There is. He talked about how he made a deliberate move because his poll numbers were in the toilet. Now Medicaid Expansion was rejected by the house. And i think scott new this. Stephanie thats exactly what you said. I dont buy this whole my mother and i have had a change of heart. You said he can do this knowing it was not going to happen. Right. This is the greatest part too is what they are proposing now is that they get the federal money, but they allocate it to private Health Insurance plans. Thats what they are proposing. Its the same proposal that the governor made in arkansas is take all of this federal money and give it to the private Health Insurance companies to use that as coverage for people. But we already know that doesnt work, because those are the Medicare Advantage plans, the plans run by private insurance companies, and they are always more expensive. So were basically just trying to suck more money out of the taxpayer dollar again. Stephanie yep. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie and the is this covered under the Affordable Care act story. Man with screwdriver in his head. Are we talking about the drink stephanie oh no. First was it a flat of phillips . Stephanie thats a good question. However, its in poland. There is a good polish joke in here. Polish doctors say a 25yearold man has undergone a operation to recover a screwdriver stuck approximately two inches into his head. Perhaps he has too many screwdriverers they do like that wadca there. Stephanie exactly. Jacki thats all i have your you. Im working out this screwdriver thing in my head. Stephanie hang on one second. We have an ask jacki. Irene in maryland. Caller hi, how is everybody doing . Stephanie good. Good morning. Caller jacki im a senior citizen, i have medicare and we have to pay something for our medicare, and also our supplemental Health Insurance plan, and i want to know once all of the Health Care Bills are all put in place would i still need to pay for Health Care Plan . You probably will still need to pay for the supplements that you use, but the good thing is that the drug costs are going to go down, because right now people fall into that doughnut hole where you have to cover the cost of your prescriptions and then your coverage kicks back in again, and that hole is closing. So that hole will close and it is also going to make sure that we mandate what kind of coverage people get for their money and that theres are continuation of all of your benefits, your wellness checkups for free that kind of thing. So i think the wellness plans will still be necessary, but certainly the costs will go down especially in terms of prescription drugs. I wish it would go down for the cost of the supplemental plan, because when i started i started out paying 130 something a month. Now im paying 183. At the end of may, beginning of june, ill be paying 190 some dollars a month. You probably have a supplement through the private insurance companies, right . Its through my united health. Yeah, its a private company thats why. I dont know what the specific regulations are for medicare under the Affordable Care act, but i think they probably will be the same regulations that they are for everybody else too. But medicare rights. Org has a lot of good information about that. Stephanie all right. Honey here is one more quick one. Craig many minnesota. Caller hey you guys are great. The rights come up with now the Survival Guide to obamacare for the people on the right who want to survive this tragedy that we have. [ laughter ] stephanie yes. You need to move to glen Becky Becky Becky stan where they have their own health care. Caller yeah, its like they dont get that this is a good program. They they just seem to think that its something evil thats going to destroy america, and they are in their own little lost world. Stephanie yeah. I wish it were what they dream it is. I had a conversation on the young turks last week with the gentlemen from forwardlooking tl from the tea party in florida, and he said he doesnt believe in the Medicaid Expansion because he doesnt want to pay for other people thats what insurance is. You know, why should that money be allocated. And what i wanted to say to him was you pay now. When people are uninsured and they cant pay their bills, we foot that bill now. Stephanie yeah i dont know why people miss that basic point all the time. Yes, we already pay that and if you were fiscally responsible you would want to bring that cost down because people could then go to see a doctor instead of going to the emergency room. Stephanie exactly. Thank you angel. Woogy. No you hang up first. Stephanie ill see you at the top of the hour. God. Stephanie shut up both of you. Why must you make everything in my life dirty.

I watch your Program Every morning, i am a [ inaudible ] that didnt vote for republicans, and i would like for you to know that ted cruz and paul ryan look like the villain in bull winkle, and i want jim to do the voices. Oh. Stephanie jim get on that. Bull winkle you are not thinking of dishonest John Stephanie donna in [ inaudible ]. Caller hi stephanie. I just got up and read that 27page time article by steven bril. Bittle pill why medical bills are killing us you will not believe the kind of money these hospitals this is the biggest scam, it puts the oil and gas company to shame the kind of money they are duping the american taxpayer and i dont know why ryan wants to get rid of medicare, because he is making more money off of it than anybody. Stephanie yeah, i know. Caller please ask all of your listeners to read this. Stephanie yeah, somebody who was making the its like losing whatever general looses a war showing up with a list of demands. Its like what . Here is my plan to get rid of obamacare. No, you just lost. Derrek in denver. Go ahead. Caller hi i love your show. Stephanie thank you. Caller i noticed he cited that he wanted to keep Interest Rates low in his budget, but thats absolutely ridiculous because they have been low for years and years now. Stephanie yeah, he is going to take credit for that now. Are you calling from chucky cheese, hello . Caller sorry im outside walking with my son. Stephanie thats right. Caller i just wanted to say its demand that spurs the country. If you dont have money to spur the services, it is not going to grow at all. Stephanie yeah he said i think it would be imagine fix we had low Interest Rates. [ magic wand ] stephanie oh we do. Well i did that. We believe that the judges decision was clearly in error, and we will prevail on appeal. Stephanie he went on to say this. We are serious about fighting obesity. We have to be honest about what causes it, and we have to have the courage to tackle it head on. Isnt an appeal like free refills. Stephanie exactly. I have to say, though we are a nation of fat bastards. We have to do something about it. I understand the whole nanny state thing, and you can just get refills, but look at the smoking ban he did it a lot of people were dying of Secondhand Smoke, so i get what he is doing. Yeah, but people dont have a choice not to breathe in Secondhand Smoke or not. But people have a choice to limit their beverages. I noticed when we moved to germany, soft drinks and everything had much less sugar in it. And i lost a lot of weight instantly. Stephanie twentynine minutes after the hour. Charlie pierce next on the Stephanie Miller show. Criticizing, and holding policy to the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room tonight at 6 eastern go ahead, man hey, hey, hey hey, hey, hey announcer Stephanie Miller. Used to be a strong smart beautiful woman. Why did he transform herself into that baby hooker . [ laughter ] really . Stephanie hum . Stephanie miller show. Welcome it to. Thirty four minutes after the hour. It is tuesday, our favorite day pierce hes a clown pierce stephanie Charlie Pierce Political Columnist for esquire. Com. Good morning, charlie. Happy pick a pope day. It is. We are lining up for kickoff. You are looking live at the outside of the vatican palace. I wanted to pick the name pope super bowl 15, myself. Stephanie you are a scamp. Listen i tuned in yesterday and the first thing i heard was you and Melissa Fitzgerald having a pillow fight in your room, and then you started talking about man moments. I wanted to throw a raincoat on you. And jim miss it all. Where was jim . I had a couple of lines on General Hospital. Were you like the voice on the intercom. Yeah. Were you really . Stephanie you had to miss the whole show for that. Charlie pierce, you talk about the pod people stories are getting more pod worthy as you read them on the general theme that the president has failed to make nicy nice enough to the republicans because Nate Silverman might be gay or something. Yeah, i think there are miscalculations that have been made on both sides, but this whole if he just could do a little bit more, if he showed some leadership then john boehner would make sense, people really believe that. Stephanie yeah. You say the sequester was a terrible idea. Because the president [ inaudible ] not because he hasnt waltz on the balcony. Yes. That was another story. You are a senator of the United States, you need your hand held . Stephanie yeah, i know. Thats what i dont get. This whole if we only had more meals im sure republicans would change their whole philosophy. Somebody else wrote yesterday, its true. Its like were wandering through 2009 all over again. And there wasnt an election last fall. Stephanie yeah, its like the losing general in a battle presenting his demands. What . No. Yeah, we have got you right where we want you now. Stephanie yeah. Did you today is mitt romneys birthday. Stephanie i did not. I believe it is his 66th birthday. Hum, he is just the right age. Right at the moment. Im writing a birthday tribute to the former governor. Ann romney stop it. [ laughter ] stephanie you of course said best what we have been trying to say all morning, can we employees for the love of blog now stop treating paul ryan, first runner up in the most recent pageant, like he knows about the economy . Stephanie this is what i keep saying why do they keep he is a serious guy, i mean Chris Wallace who is no friend of the administration, ryan said you know, he said wallace said look, your budget depends on obamacare being repealed. And ryan said yes, and wallace said, well, thats not going to happen. And ryan said well we think it should. You know all of the money in the vault at the bank where i go every week i they should be in my pocket. Stephanie i do too. In other words they started off opposing the medicare cuts then turned turned turned and twice kept them and now are embracing them again. As you say its a 720 degree spin is generally when parts of the car start flying into the stands injuring the spectators. Its one of those things that sean white does in midair. Stephanie exactly. And also we have been pointing out the budget will i cant believe jim ward actually knows the it italian for that. Well, it rhymes better than flying tomato. I ordered that last week in fact. Stephanie and you write about the reemergence of jebby. The smart one. A low bar in that family. Stephanie you say for nothing more than political advantage of the idiot brother he helped cheat into the white house, a political freak show during which people whos shoes neither he nor any member of his family were able to shine. And we forget the details of this whole story. It was a terrible thing, and he was right in the middle of it, and he was doing it to get his brother talking parts during the course of the election. And i spent a couple of days with the folks actually living in the hospice and he made their lives a living nightmare. And it didnt have to happen. Stephanie yeah. All of the bushes all of the bushes have problem. Poppy has iran contra neil has the teenage thai hookers, george has everything. And jeb they all have be pursued through history by their own selfishness. Plus the fact that this whole immigration thing is just sill lairous. Stephanie right, you say he is the first man since Charles Barclay to deny what he wrote in his book. Yeah. Now i dont hold the position anymore. Stephanie and you also honed in on my favorite moment where he said my guess is history will be kind to my brother. [ laughter ] stephanie the further out you get from this and the more people compare his tenure to what is going on now, i think history will be kind to george w. Bush. [ Phyllis Diller laughter ] stephanie and as only Charlie Pierce can write, and cleo, a muse of history looks thoughtfully at a bottle of drain cleaner, and wonders if she shouldnt flavor it with a touch of cream demint. Yeah, cleo is treateder very roughly these days. First of all there is no polling data to support this. And it wouldnt be true even if there were. History has had its verdict and it didnt take long to history he is sort of the jody arias of this scenario. Stephanie so you think he is running . At the moment i think he is certainly acting like he is. Everybody is running now. Stephanie you know why i thought so. Contact lenses. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] really . Stephanie sprucing himself up. There is a lot of sprucing to be done there. Stephanie little bit. It is going to take mitt romneys whole yard crew to be honest with you. Ann romney stop it. [ laughter ] stephanie thank you, charlie, hal will talk to you next week . You guys are on vaca. Where are you going . Stephanie you are on a need to know basis. Im having a stayka. All right. Thank you honey. [ applause ] i think the character from [ inaudible ] the woman was thinking of was fearless leader. The dictator of [ inaudible ]. The fearless leader by leon [ inaudible ] who was also in hogans heros. Stephanie thank you jim. Jolanta in st. Paul. Caller hi, happy tuesday. How are you . Stephanie high good. Caller i really love your screaming goat. If you do the taylor swift one thats the best. Stephanie oh yeah. Caller that is my favorite, and i had a comment that i wanted to talk about one of krour colleagues had mentioned about losing weight and when you go overseas because when i went over to london i noticed stephanie because the food sucks in london, thats why. Caller yeah. [ laughter ] [overlapping speakers] caller i went over there and i ordered a small actual small cup of coke, and they gave me a small size, and you come over here, they sub you a large coke in front of your face and you are like what is this . Were trying to lose weight in this country and i think its an incentive that i think that mrs. Obama is doing such a wonderful job in trying to push the fitness in all of the schools. I never had that when i came here i was a skinny kid, and no its like how did i lose myself to getting into such a big weight gain. Stephanie yeah. Part of the problem stephanie when people skauf skauf scoff at this it is a huge problem. I think the way Michelle Obama is doing it is the right way to do it. But part of the problem is factory farming, and how all of the animals are filled full of growth harm. You mean animals like goats. Lying on the cold hard ground [ screaming goat ] trouble, trouble trouble [ screaming goat ] she asked for it. I cued it up. Stephanie i love life. Summed up. I dont go to fastfood places anymore. And i used to. And do we still have del taco here. Because i remember ordering a large ice tea and you needed to strap that to your roof rack.

Polls show nine out of ten americans support tightening background check laws, but some lawmakers want to carve our exceptions for private transfers between family members and close friends. Its tough to talk about paul ryans budget with any realism because it is so unrealistic in what its proposing but he is talk about it now. In addition to once again pushing for a medicare voucher plan, he is calling for a repeal of the Affordable Care act, all of it except for the 716 billion in savings that he wants to reallocate. It calls for a less than 1 growth in government operating expenses every year between 2014 and then. There are a lot of numbers in the mix, all you really need to know it is looks very much like the one last year that went nowhere.

We know what is right and wrong. We have that incite but do people really have the [ inaudible ] to know what is wright for them . And the main point is bloomberg deals with new york city and he has a lot of stuff and im being kind there to deal with on a daytoday basis what food does to you and what you need to know about it later in life and the insurance that we have to pay for people that dont make the right choices, i dont think he is off.

Im im in my mid40s, and when i was a kid, a 12 ounce soda was the biggest you got, and that was plenty you know. And i remember a number of years ago when ikia first came to the state stephanie with their horse balls . Caller no, americans are buying all of the pitchers and using them as glasses because they just werent big enough for our fat asses. Stephanie right. [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie have you seen the show my strange addiction. Yes. Stephanie this woman has eaten more than 50 rubber tires. Its called pica or something stephanie this woman eats tire shavings. Her boyfriend works at a tire plant ironically enough and the shavings he brings home feeds her addiction. He is against her munching on these delights, but seems to not be able to figure out that he could curb her habit by not bringing the shavings home. Maybe thats the only way he gets any [ banjo music ] [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie in other restaurant us in best restaurant in the world offers aunts and diarrhea illness. It offers a 12course tasting menu for 880 . [ farting sounds ] nora virus. [ farting sounds ] [ belching ] stephanie im sorry, what .

Maybe he is not the prince anymore. [ sighs ] stephanie oh, my stars and garters and little red slippers. Twentynine minutes after the hour. We check in with where were at with the budget with representative joe courtney of the great state of connecticut next on the Stephanie Miller show. Yeah, sorry about that the show has gotten a little lowbrow. What are you talking about . Its like the most hilarious show ever announcer its the Stephanie Miller show. Criticizing, and holding policy to the fire. Are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night . Is this personal or is it political . A lot of my work happens by doing the things that i am given to doing anyway. Staying in tough with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. Not only does senator rubio just care about rich people but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. But we do care about them, right . Vo the war room tonight at 6 eastern actually i thought it was very well crafted. The perfect combination of dirty and smart announcer Stephanie Miller. Was really quite elegant. Its smerty. Stephanie right. 1800steph12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. Representative nancy pelosi talking about the president and the whole budget sequester nonsense. I have worked with a few president s and i have never seen the patience and the willingness to listen and accommodate views. Stephanie and then you have people like paul ryan saying things like this. We believe that obamacare is a program that will not work. We believe that obamacare will actually lead to hospitals and doctors and Healthcare Providers turning people away. Dogs and cats. Stephanie he is relitigating the thing that has already been decided, but any way lets check in with joe courtney to follow the delightful process on capitol hill. Hello representative. Good morning. Stephanie those two sound bites show the divergence right. We really do have a president that has tried over and over again to come to some sort of negotiation with republicans, right, and you have paul ryan trying to relitigate the Health Care Bill again. If you look at his budget plan closely, hes actually conceded the changes that the Affordable Care act made to the medicare system in terms of increased revenues for high income medicare payroll taxes and actually takes all of the medicare reductions that the bill put into place, but eliminates all of the benefits to seniors and people on disabilities, so closing the doughnut hole, preventative services, again, all of the smart changes that really lower cost by, you know, wellness and prevention, he he eliminates, and so in a way the president ought to be flattered that he has actually adopted parts of it, but of course it is a completely sort of deformed version of Health Care Policy that we end up with in his plan and and stephanie congressman you saw this exchange on fox news of all places with Chris Wallace where he said you are presuming the repeal of the Affordable Care act, and he says yes, and he is like thats not going to happen, and he is like well we think it should. I dont understand what is happening. Did we got have an election . What is the point of this . There really is a schizoid and division in the party. In the senate you are having a real grown up discussion about Immigration Reform. And that was in response to the election. I think the smart republicans realized that have an existential crisis right now with the voter, and they are completely ruining their future. But obviously in the house you still have people who, again, just refuse to accept what the voters clearly said last november and and again, its just so incredibly, you know [ inaudible ] to as you point out to relitigate an issue which the voters weighed in heavily on and which is bearing some good results, and Getting Better out comes for people. What we ought to be doing is really having, again, a grownup conversation about implementation. There is going to be some bumps in the road. Is there but was when medicare was rolled out in 1965. Stephanie thats right. Lets focus on that rather than this ridiculous blast from the past. Stephanie exactly. Representative talk to us about where were at with budget or sequestration or all of this stuff. Because paul ryans budget im like are you kidding me . It is doubling down on all of this stuff, right . Yeah, it looks like the senate is moving forward on a spending plan for the rest of the fiscal year which does move the ball forward. Its not my favorite version, but i think it is one that can pass. So we have at least eliminated the sort of Government Shutdown this year and you know given some flexibility in terms of given some flexibility in terms of sequestration. But obviously we really should just get that also eradicated, and there are very good smart ways to do that, and the budget plan which is obviously next years budget again, patty murray to her credit is really working hard to get the senate to produce a budget plan. Thats a good thing, and i think again when the people what she is doing which protects medicare, versus at the end this just really nasty, harmful, antimiddle class plan that that the republicans are rolling out in the house, you know, again if nothing else, Public Opinion should be i think reengaged to to be on our side, and hopefully get people to move. Stephanie what about the sequestration . I mean is there any reasonable chance of of stopping this . Of undoing it . My take down it is and i have been home talking to a lot of the affected groups there. This thing unfortunately looks like it is going to have to really bite a little bit before people are really going to again, i think, recognize the dangers of this. Stephanie uhhuh. I was reading some numbers the other day, the great new jobs numbers, the Housing Market coming back, and you think just in time, right, for the sequestration to hit. Thats right. And state and local governments are going to again be under unless pressure to again, continue to downsize you know, larger classrooms, streets that wont be as safe. You know head start programs where kids will be dropped from slots. 4 year olds are going to get kicked out of head start. Those things unfortunately my sense is they actually have to like i said bite or or happen before people are going to get serious. Stephanie yeah. And we should spend another show about easy ways that we can fix this. Stephanie yeah. Its so manufactured. Stephanie yeah, as the president said were lurching from one manufactured crisis to the next. But is there a reasonable chance we could take the house back . I know there is gerrymandering and all of this stuff, but it just seems like if people get discussed discussed enough, is there a chance . 17 seats if you look at the last election its not a crazy number. The president has pledged his wholehearted support to the dccc. And that will be a big help. And, again i think the public sort of looks at these guys and and gets, you know, more experienced with them i think we have a very powerful argument to take back the house. Nancy is just an amazing organizer and fund raiser. Really shes just remarkable in terms of that effort she she just, you know, continues to produce stephanie yeah, turn out, turn out, turn out. Thats right. Stephanie in midterms i know its tough but it seems to me it is becoming increasingly impossible to govern with this current makeup of the house republicans. Its true. The violence against women act i think again when it first passed in 94 only one republican voted no, and two weeks ago 138 voted no. Thats a good gauge of how radicalized the party is. Stephanie yeah. I think that statute really shows it . Snee yeah. Representative always such a pleasure. Thanks so much for taking time to check in with us. Thank you stephanie. [ applause ] stephanie there he goes. Oh, looky here hanging around in that texas town really . It is such a good morning. With a phone call from the range you know what im talking about, just let him go if you want to know how his talking points are strange how does he come up with this stuff, how does he .

Brettbart. Com being fool by same joke news site. [ laughter ] stephanie gawker brings the story. When they fell for a fake news story, brightbart. Coms john knollty suggested the paper was without a shred of dignity. And that was before his own network was fooled by the exact same site. They published a post with the title paul krugman declares personal bankruptcy, which was a joke. Right. Stephanie in a post on his blog krugman admitted he filed the false reports but kept quiet because he wanted to see which rightwing media outlet would oh, thats funny. Stephanie he is a scamp.

Republican senator takes credit for the act he voted against. John cornyn released a glowing press release, claiming the cornyn bill was signed into law, it is the safer act which was incorporated into the act, there is only one problem he voted against it. He was one of 22 Senate Republican men who voted gen the violence against women renewal but because his provision was in the thing he voted against so you are against the violence against women act so you must be pro violence against women. Stephanie right. Oh, i do have a chris brown story. Oh, lord. Segue . [ world news tonight theme ] stephanie he was partying at the emerson theater last week when he grabbed the mic from the d. J.

Barbara walters says Melissa Hasselbeck is not leaving the view. There was a report she was being pushed out of the series because of her rightwing opinions blah, blah blah.

Hal told the story yesterday, of his friends pomeranian whos name is Barbara Walters so he has to run down the street yelling barbara waters bad, no yesterday you said i should name my next dog bob layer, im thinking actually bob schieffer.
