[ theme ] stephanie oh im sorry. Are we on . Glug glug, glug. Stephanie good morning Jacki Schechner. Is she there . Hold on. I just had to sip some water. Stephanie were you also drinking . Totally parched. Stephanie wow. Dry as a desert in here. [ laughter ] sean hannity said that was the best response to a state of the union hes ever seen. Stephanie awkward he was going along fairly well. Compared to jindal and some of the others in the past. He looked like he was running for a fraternity president. Stephanie he didnt get the Chris Matthews oh, god until that point. Always look so young too dont they . I dont know if it is the background or the setting. Stephanie nervous much . I think im pretty sure boehner was drinking bourbon. Well talk about that in a bit. In the meantime, Jacki Schechner in the current news center. Good morning, everybody. President obama heads to asheville, North Carolina, today, where he takes his state of the Union Proposals directly to the people hes going to tour a factory then give remarks about boosting manufacturing in the United States. The president covered all of the expected domestic issues last night or most of them including jobs in the economy. Climate change, education social benefit programs, immigration and voting rights. One of the most emotional moments of the night came when he finally talked about gun safety legislation and said that no matter how lawmakers want to vote on it, the matter has got to get to the floor. Obama Gabby Giffords deserves a vote. The families of newtown deserve a vote. And the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence, they deserve a simple vote. As weve been discussing, florida senator marco rubio gave the g. O. P. Response, a speech clearly written well in advance of the president s state of the union because it was like he didnt hear a word the president said. His solution to virtually every problem we face is for washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more. Now, rubios delivery was arguably better than responses in the past. But as weve been joking, there is this moment which stole the show. Nothing has frustrated me more than false choices like the one the president laid out tonight. The choice isnt just between Big Government or big business. Oh, so unsmooth and awkward. Rubio did speak out this morning on Good Morning America and said i needed water what was i going to do . Were back after the break. Going to do the young turks. I think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. They know that im not bsing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. When the democrats are wrong, they know that im going to be the first one to call them out. They can question whether im right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us. Stop looking at car interiors. Get inspired by other stuff. Yep. Yep. Ok. Sure. Why not . Woah. Touchscreens. Put that in your dash. Now, luxury stuff. Make your seats like that. That thing has wifi, why doesnt your car . You cant do that. Ignore that guy. Give it wifi. Yes make it fit 5 people. No, 5 actual sized people. Give them leg room, good. Destroy boring car interiors forever. And thats how you do it. Easy. People with sore throats have something new to say. Ahh mmm ahh finally, theres cepacol sensations. Serious sore throat medicine seriously great taste. Plus the medicine lasts long after the lozenge is gone. Ahh mmm cepacol sensations. Announcer ladies and gentlemen, its the Stephanie Miller show. Im walkin on sunshine im walkin on sunshine and its time to feel good hey, all right now and its time to feel good stephanie glug, glug, glug glug. All right. Let the mocking begin oh, come on, yall are being mean on the twitter machine. Marco rubio may have sucked but at least he swallowed. Stephanie come on, kids [ circus ] he became his own drinking game last night. Stephanie i swear to god where was i . Oh, yeah. Stephanie the Stephanie Miller players present a meeting between john boehner and marco rubio. What was wrong with your speech was glug, glug, glug, glug. Stephanie okay. [ applause ] stephanie boehner was drinking bourbon and coke. That was a little cocktail shaker set right in front of him. Did you see that silver set . Stephanie ill bet you that was vodka in that poland springs bottle. Theyre just not winning in the arena of ideas . You know what they make in poland . Vodka. Stephanie just sayin. It was like glug, glug, glug, glug glug, all night long [ applause ] ive never seen that. Have you ever seen the speaker or Vice President drink brown colored liquid . Hmm. Okay. Interesting. Maybe it was just reflecting his skin off of the glass. Stephanie maybe. Maybe it was water and it just appeared brown. Stephanie is he drinking tang . I see, it is reflecting. Drinking cheeto juice. Stephanie hes drinking bronzer. He sweated it into his glass because hes so nervous because the president s ideas are so popular and his arent. Hi, mama, wow i havent seen anyone reach for a drink of water like that since tom cruise in a few good men. Rand paul, what was that . They are just not strong speakers really. That weird high school tea party response. Rebuttal to the response of the speech stephanie the rebuttal to the Republican Party. He was lit terribly. Is there a good way to light . Perhaps he had some bad turkey. Stephanie turkey . Whats happened to you . Okay. We are guested up on the oh, what . On the poststate of the union show. Representative Maxine Waters, representative turkey . Senator Debbie Stabenow, representative debbie chu and sexy liberal hal sparks in our number three. Hump days with hal. Wow, how does that happen . Stephanie travis burning the midnight oil apparently. Although he did say he snuck in and spooned with me because we did a story about hollywood personal assistants. Some force their assistants to sleep with them because theyre lonely. Stephanie i ordered travis to my house to spoon. Do you remember it . Does midnight oil go well with flirtinis . Stephanie i had to give him enough flirtinis to sleep with me. If youre going to work in the blue sky mine, you need some flirtinis. You didnt get it. Stephanie right over my head. Glug, glug glug, glug. 90s college rock reference. Stephanie i didnt get it so i just started drinking. You know what it was . Not only how long it took but just that he was nervously looking like it was like no one would notice. I love this that he thought if he kept eye contact with the camera, no one would notice. Michele bachmann thing off the to the side. What . Thats how you do it. The camera awkwardly followed him as he went down and came back up again. Probably like what the hell are you doing . This is live. There are no cuts here stephanie i think im going to do that all morning and see if i can freak out kelby in the current room. Try to follow me. Here i go. Okay. I cant watch. Somebody did it on a loop. You can see it on an endless loop. We can fix it in post, right . Live . So huge majority loved the president s speech. [ world news tonight ] i watch it. It is a home run. Then all of the pundits. Missed opportunities and reach out enough and blah, blah. He reached out. He didnt reach out. Stephanie right. Okay. So yeah, huge majority that were polled thought the speech was it is hard to top for emotional content, the gun that whole segment with the whole victims when he was talking about gun violence and by the way i didnt see ted nugent, did you . Ted nugent was there. I saw a screen cap of him. Stephanie really . He looked completely stephanie was he wearing the doofy hat . No, he wasnt wearing a hat. He actually had on a blazer and a shirt that didnt have a tie on. It was unbuttoned. Stephanie why would you wear a tie in it is only the president of the United States. Why should you show any respect, decorum, anything like that . You want decorum . I just crapped my pants for once. Stephanie as far as we know. [farting sounds] did we check his seat afterwards . Stephanie he did make a doody in his pants. For him that, passes for respect. I went in the toity before i came. Jim, what did you think of the speech . It was great. Stephanie i thought like it had all of the obama moments. Humor. I know you like going to the Ribbon Cuttings. He even got a Little Orange chuckle from boehner behind him. You didnt see that. Stephanie im always struck though by all of the stuff the president talks about by large majority, the American People are for all of them. Just hard to decipher the look on boehners face when you go and we cant have that because of you because of you and your stupid, uncontrollable caucus. He doesnt youre going to block that what are you talking about . Oh, yes, thats a good idea. We cant do that. No. Glug glug, glug, glug. It is a great idea. Glug glug, glug, glug. Where was i . Oh, yeah. Stephanie it was perfect. It was its own drinking game. All of them. Boehner and rubio. That tells you where theyre at. It made me feel better about my drinking solution. I was at home watching. Texting with your frufel, im sure. Who were also drinking . Fitzgerald emailed jacki and i really late last night. You know my insystem nia. I was like awesome. Who wants to talk about rubio. So she talked until midnight or something. We got to do a poststate of the union. I was like whos up . So glad you didnt text me. Stephanie well, i know better [ laughter ] jacki was sleeping like a normal person. I did get up at 2 00 this morning to get sound bytes. Stephanie you know which are your political geek friends. They cant wait until [ bleep ] to talk about rubio. Someone texted me. Stephanie whats going on . All right. Smoke alarm trying to go off . Do i need to change the batteries . Stephanie oh, speaking of which. That was the other huge breaking story. Oh, good lord. Stephanie they havent identified whether it was dorner or not in the cabin. Cnn went with it up until about ten minutes before the state of the union. Stephanie i think everybody did. I think it was colonel mustard in the pantry. Stephanie if its not him it is like the fugitive or something. It must be be him they were interviewing the guy who rented the cabin. Said thats my cabin. Its burning. Thats not important right now. Stephanie so what. Listen was it rented out at the time . No, it wasnt rented out. Stephanie we dont think there was any hostage or anybody else. No, there were two hostages that got away. Stephanie that he tied up. But they got away. Stephanie took their car. A friend of mine has a cabin in big bear. I said you have any houseguests . Stephanie last time it was a big fire. Hear, hear. I was close enough to my house that i was watching tv going what . Thats almost to my house [ applause ] all right. So yeah, lots to talk about. Some crunchy audio goodness from last night. Obama already, weve brought home 33,000 of our brave servicemen and women. This spring, our forces will move into a support role. While Afghan Security forces take the lead. Tonight, i can announce that over the next year, another 34,000 american troops will come home from afghanistan. This drawdown will continue and by the end of next year, our war in afghanistan will be over. Wow. Stephanie hooray. You say that like its a good thing. Stephanie that will be popular. Glug, glug glug, glug. Josh in memphis. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Poor marco. Hello, josh. Caller how you doing miss stephanie . I would like to say i dont think it is fair we make fun of paul ryan or marco rubio for the water thing. I mean how are they supposed to keep their souls from catching on fire . Stephanie you are a scamp. That was very funny. Stephanie i forgot about paul ryan was drinky, too during the debates. Very drinky. Very nervous. Did you see eddie sitting there . Hes in a permanent snit during the state of the unions. Isnt that wonderful eddie . I wont go i wont, i wont i wont you cant make me you cant, you cant im not im not, im not stephanie all right. So much to talk about. Your reviews and ours of the state of the union last night. 17 minutes after the hour. Kind of funny. I was thinking about how we do marco rubio. As a pool game. A water game. Glug glug, glug, glug. Right back on the Stephanie Miller show. Announcer finally, talk radio you can dance to. Its the Stephanie Miller show. The Natural Energy of peanuts and delicious, soft caramel. To fill you up and keep you moving, whatever your moves. Payday. Fill up and go vo always outspoken, now unleashed. Joy behar. On my next show, fashion savant Carson Kressley goes from dancing with the stars to dishing with moi, on say anything. I dont know how im gonna survive stephanie i see what youre going to do all morning. Subtly mocking marco rubio. Subtly our strong suit here. 22 minutes after the hour. 1800steph12 toll free from anywhere. Instapoll, 73 approval of the president s speech in the cnn poll. [ world news tonight ] what is this . 83 of viewers approved of the president s remarks. One of the funniest lines ive seen, marco rubio most illadvised drink since socrates. Thinking maybe i should have waited just a skosh. That speech was less than ten minutes. But he started rubbing his mouth. Stephanie he was sweaty. He was nervous. It was hilarious. And then and glug, glug glug, glug. I gotta go to the bathroom. Glug, glug glug. That would have been funny if he would have left to go to the bathroom. Christine lahti moment. Stephanie excuse me. Ive drank too much water. Can you wait a minute. They just put color bars up. [ jeopardy theme ] hell be right back. Test pattern. Stephanie the ideas in the speech were pretty much a test pattern. Pretty much nothing. Got nothing there. The president meanwhile i thought, knocking it out of the park. Obama defending our freedom though is not just the job of our military alone. We must all do our part to make sure our godgiven rights are protected here at home. That includes one of the most fundamental rights of a democracy. The right to vote. [ applause ] stephanie okay. Tara in california. Hi tara, welcome. Caller hi. I called you last week but we got cut off in the middle because my phone dropped the call. Stephanie all right. Go ahead. Caller last night i was watching viewpoint with John Fuglesang and somebody came on and offered a definition of fascism that strikes me as where the Republican Party is currently today in which they dont care so much about representing people. They care about representing business. Business should be able to make our political decisions for us. According to what stephanie theyre closer to fascism than we are to socialism. Caller exactly. Exactly. Stephanie yeah. All right. Go ahead. Caller oh, i just i just wanted to say that as i said, i agree with you entirely. Theyre way closer to fascism than we are to socialism. Stephanie thats the thing. Literally, it is bob doles Healthcare Plan when his idea on nukes is not as radical as reagans when the president s position on immigration, not as radical as reagans. Hes a centrist republican, essentially, if you look historically. Eisenhower. Stephanie i was going to go to the eisenhower, too. I collided with you. George in miami. Hello, george. Caller hello, stephanie. Stephanie hello. Caller when are you coming back to miami . Stephanie i would love to come back to miami. Caller rubio is in my state. I watch him last night and it is like he stood behind a donkey. Reaching for a glass of water they wont see me. I mean, idiot republican. I love america. America is a great country but i didnt know you people have so much stupid republicans here. Stephanie it was a ventriloquist act. He didnt want us to notice it was actually rush limbaughs voice coming out. Just saying. Why was the water so far away from him . Stephanie thats what i dont get. Simple things. It is okay if you take a drink but why did you put it way over there . Do you want a leader like that . Not very much planning. Oh, just a minute. Stephanie hes going to be president . Oh, its time to hit the nuclear but oh, where did i put it . Let me walk across the room. [ explosion ] stephanie too late. The u. S. A. Is blown up because i forgot where is my water. Stephanie where the hell paul in omaha. Youre on the Stephanie Miller show. Hello, paul. Caller good morning mama, good morning mooks. I saw marco rubio taking that poland springs and it occurred to me. You know who else wanted poland springs . Hitler. I came here for the water. There are no waters here. I was misinformed so he takes Stephanie Marco rubio misplace poland spring. Poland misplaced for weapons of mass that they didnt have. [ whatever ] that was funky. [ laughter ] Stephanie Brian in charlotte. Hello, brian. Caller i havent listened live in a long time. I wanted to let you guys know youre great as usual. Stephanie thank you. Caller the reason why rubio and before him paul ryan both had to drink that water nervously is because they know theyre getting fact checked into oblivion. Stephanie its true. Your congressman you senators, you speak for a living. Youre right. If you lack confidence in what youre saying or your ideas they see the same polls we do, brian. Theyre on the wrong side of every issue. Exactly. And paul ryan was afraid he was going to get fact checked in real time by joe biden. Now, this guy because hes a rising star, hes thinking about every word hes saying. He knows everything hes saying is going to get fact checked in the media the very next day. Thats why theyre so nervous about their ideas. Stephanie exactly. Right wing pundits are blaming hes under the lights. Were under these lights for three solid hours. Hes in florida. Hes used to heat. He spoke for ten minutes. He couldnt speak for ten minutes without drinking a glass of water . Stephanie every other please. Leave him alone. You bastards are lucky he even performs for you. Performs and performs. Leave him alone. Youre lucky she even performed for you bastard. Stephanie somebody in kentuckys who name is not
