yeah, he originally told police in a written statement that martin knocked him down with a punch to the nose. repeatedly slammed his head on the ground and tried to take his gun. that's a convenient story, isn't it? the initial police report noted that zimmerman was bleeding from the back of the head and nose after medical attention. they decide he was good enough condition to travel to the police station in the police cruiser. he was not arrested. that still is just -- what? you're going to believe one version of the story. that's not police work. that's not police work. anyway. yeah. >> so-called reporter from the -- "orlando sentinel." who has been leaking all of this stuff about purporting his innocence. zimmerman's innocence. blah, blah blah. no attribution no evidence, no nothing. >> yeah. and then it is convenient how -- and they also left out you

know, the girlfriend interviewing the girlfriend. she said in the recording obtained exclusively by nbc news. she heard a scuffle and the line went dead. you don't know who instigated what. as a lot of people have said trayvon martin is the one the law would apply to. he was being stalked and threatened. >> by a guy with a gun. >> he was carrying skittles. >> the kid didn't have a gun or he would have pulled it. >> but he was wearing a hoodie. >> he was armed with a hoodie. geraldo. yeah. so and then they're making -- we'll hear this i'm sure in right wing world. abc news said he was staying in sanford because he had been suspended from high school after the school officials found him with a baggy that contained suspected marijuana. >> it was an empty bag which they suspect had contained marijuana at one point.

a family spokesperson said it is irrelevant to what happened on february 26th. >> absolutely. >> does not change the material facts of the situation specifically that had george zimmerman not left his vehicle in the police dispatcher's guidance, we wouldn't be here today. there's just no way that you can't -- this situation were reversed, there wouldn't have been a different outcome. during zimmerman's call to 911 the dispatcher asked him if he was following the teen and zimmer mapp said he was. the dispatcher said we don't need you to do that. the kid ends up dead. case closed? >> he felt so threatened by him that he had to leave the car with a gun. >> people on the right wing have immediately jumped to i hope you apologize. there are no new facts coming out! >> that has nothing to do with the case at hand. >> they're muddying the waters. >> they're up at ributed. >> so-called reporter said this is what happened. >> it is like fox journalism.

>> some people say. >> martin's mother says the news conference, they killed my son and now they're trying to kill his reputation. seriously? because the kid -- might have been suspended because they might have found a bag that might have had marijuana so that changes this whole thing to what, that he deserved this? it is crazy. okay, 18 minutes after the hour. sexy liberal aisha tyler joins us live. hope you're ready for that. >> she looks just like her archer character in person. three-dimensional. >> all right. >> just a moment. 18 minutes after the hour. kids, imagine this. you're on your computer at home. you get a virus. at work, your hard drive crashes. at home, someone at home and you say -- you spill let's say chardonnay on your laptop. >> it could happen. >> it could happen. and then everything is gone. i don't know anyone that that's happened to. >> of course not. >> i'm just saying -- >> it could be on bill's machine. >> don't let it happen to you.

trayvon. >> stephanie: right. go ahead. you got a lot to get out of your system. it's all right. >> caller: now, the second thing that was ridiculous, no one has said it yet. when president obama said if i had a son, he would look like trayvon, immediately the racist people saying is he white or black. no, he meant his heart. he meant his soul. his spirit. his character. now, newt gingrich and -- you know what? they can call me at 910 -- call me. call me. >> stephanie: camille, for newt gingrich to come out i don't care what political party you are, for him to come out and say if the president saying if a white kid got shot, that wouldn't matter. is there any reasonable who thought the president meant that? >> caller: who thought of race? i didn't. >> newt gingrich obviously did. >> caller: well, consider the source. >> yeah.

and you're 140 pounds, you aren't going to beat me to death. it used to be you had to retreat. the old standard was if i can get away, i should get away. >> right. because then someone's life has not been lost. what this law has made it okay is to shoot someone that if you think maybe something bad might happen -- >> ask questions later. first resort. >> people call them the shoot first law. 25 states have approved florida stand your ground. the nra is not back down from support even after trayvon's death. >> they don't care about people. >> five other states are considering turning the self-defense legislation into states including in massachusetts, they have introduced a self-defense bill that would allow people to use guns, knives baseball bats -- >> good times. >> stephanie: or other deadly force if they think someone is endangered. >> why don't you just pass a law with a thunder dome in it.

>> stephanie: have you been to a boston red sox game? not since they introduced bat day at yankee stadium. >> or battery day. at the phillies. >> stephanie: a bunch of drunken yankee fans bat. >> what could possibly go wrong? >> nothing. a little fun roughhousing. >> stephanie: let's go to dey in minneapolis. you're on the stephanie miller show with aisha tyler. >> aisha, i think you're the one person who can set her straight. i have the v.i.p. tickets for the show. >> yeah! >> caller: the other thing, this amazes me, now bringing up he may have pot in an empty plastic bag. somebody in a very smart chat room says this law that is causing this problem is basically a law in search of a problem. they have created an environment of fear so that people can use their guns because they're afraid. it is the most back -- whatever

words, situation i've ever seen >> stephanie: are you thinking you can't say ass? >> i'm the official gave lutheran pastor of the stephanie miller show. be holy. >> stephanie: pardon me. >> caller: you're forgiven, my child. the other thing -- >> stephanie: you apparentlily have ass backwards how clean my show is. >> caller: honey, i've been watching you for years. i fully understand. the other thing is the idea that even if he did have pot my daughter who is 27 years old married a respectable law-abiding police officer who smoked pot when she was 16 or 17 years old. >> pot has nothing to do with it. >> it has nothing to do with it. >> caller: they love their guns. they love their power which is so impotent. they love being able to do things to other people because they feel so powerless themselves. they'll go for anything in order

to assert something over another person. aisha had it right on. they do not care about people. they care about their own selfish goals, that's it. no more. >> this particular character assassination of a kid who was shot down, was gunned down by a vigil anti is the same kind of character assassination that goes on when a woman with is raped. and instead of focusing on the fact that a terrible crime happened, she had sex at some point prior in her life. >> she was wearing a skirt. >> she must be asking for it. >> it is her fault. this is a kid who was murdered. we're trying to look at a possible pot possession. we know weeks before that somehow that makes him -- he deserves to die. >> stephanie: i feel so clingy. you're leaving now. oh! >> the president should call you. >> stephanie: aishataylor.com is the web site. right back on the stephanie miller show.

>> stephanie: what does boog id cheese mean? it is an an aisha tyler saying. >> it is when you're going to have brain surgery -- i'm not a doctor. they keep you awake so when they operate on your brain they don't cut out the wrong part. they'll talk and go how are you feeling now? you go i'm fine except for the fact that you've cut my head open and poking me in my brain. for the previous reality.

then finally, if they poke a part you go boogedy boogedy cheese! they should leave that part alone. >> these are the most wildly popular shirts in the world. >> rare. >> talking liberally is the most single show in the world. >> it will single-handedly change the course of world events. newt gingrich goes away. >> stephanie: now, here we go with news with jacki schechner. >> good morning. we're glad you're joining us this morning. oral arguments begin this hour as the supreme court gets set to take on the constitutionality of healthcare reform, specifically honing in today on the individual mandate, the requirement everybody has to buy health insurance or pay a fine. no cameras in the courtroom again but you can go online to supremecourt gov. they'll be posting audio and transcripts. as is president beam. his spokesman says he's traveling back from korea today. he will be watching the supreme

court hearing with interest. all of this attention on the affordable care act is shining a spotlight on mitt romney's massachusetts healthcare plan. they're very similar. and while he is -- while he's shying away from that plan, rick santorum is saying it is the one reason that make mitt romney you on a mikely disqualified to take on president obama during the election. romney continues to bash him. he may not be that uncomfortable in the number two spot. he told a reporter from the christian broadcasting network that if romney asked him to be the vice president, he would say yes. as for the campaign trail, santorum is going to spend the day in wisconsin. we have a campaign rally. romney is out in california doing some fund-raising. rob paul has the day off. tomorrow, he is going to town hall in maryland. newt gingrich, he's making news for his money woes. he's charging supporters $50 to have their picture taken with him. that's $50 to have a photo with newt. you have until april 24th. that's the delaware primary. he's off the campaign trail

my dad ran for vice president but he missed it by about 60 million votes. this is a little different. our new boss and former vice president, mr. al gore. good morning mr. former vice president. >> congratulations on the show stephanie. welcome. >> stephanie: thank you very much. we've been speculating on how long it will take you to fire us. but so far, so good. >> you're doing great. you're doing great. your whole crew. >> ah. >> stephanie: thank you, sir. it was so helpful they sent your bio along because i was not familiar with your work. i want you to know i'm doing my show prep for the big interview. i see here that you won the nobel peace prize. me too. >> well, good! [ laughter ] >> stephanie: i'm not sure you're aware but jim ward is the foremost al gore impersonator so here is jim to interview you. >> i don't think that's wise. you know. [ laughter ] >> this sort of thing came up

during your last show. i got danny bonaduce on the line. he will be there shortly to take over the show which is -- has been -- >> stephanie: all right. >> new career path. >> stephanie: there you go. >> is that somewhere between uncanny and canny. >> stephanie: mr. vice president, i talked to your friend, good friend and mine a couple of days ago sean hannity and invited him on to talk about the controversy surrounding rush limbaugh and boycotting of radio and all of that. i'm sure if he comes on, we'll be able to discuss the clinton/gore recession. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: this is what's good about having current on the air is that you can look at actual facts and grasp -- the peace and prosperity we enjoyed during the clinton/gore years and what happened in the bush years. >> the reality-based community. >> exactly. >> stephanie: the facts were

the well-known liberal bias. >> i love that quote from the comedy cd you were advertising during the break. blaming this recession just passed on obama is like blaming your hangover on the guy cooking breakfast. >> stephanie: mr. vice president, thank you for the plug for stephanie miller comedy tour. the vice president orders you to go buy that immediately. >> you probably know my dad ran with goldwater in '64. i'm not the first to say it. this isn't my dad and goldwater's party. do you recognize this version of the republican party? >> no, i don't. it is hard to take the

partisanship out of it. i served with your dad's running mate, barry goldwater. my father did as well. during the last few years of his time in the senate, barry goldwater and i served on the armed services committee together. he was such a warm and friendly guy and a very smart guy. my dad was friends with him too. of course, president kennedy was prepared to have debates all over the country with senator goldwater. >> stephanie: they liked each other very much. i liked him very much as a person. he was a very kind and smart guy. he would not recognize today's

republican party. and let me be quick to add that there are many, many rank and file republicans who are upset over the direction of today's republican party. up until now many of them have been reluctant to speak out and offer some encouragement to get back into sort of a mainstream conservatism instead of this radical version that they have now. >> stephanie: well, and mr. vice president they have moved so far to the right. not only what you refer to. that continued through reagan. that's what i mean, politics has been a nasty business. this is like really -- almost seems like -- the gridlock and the obstructionism, it really is unprecedented, isn't it?

they have outsourced its policy and thinking to lobbyists and the whole complex of right wing think tanks allied with business lobbies has really gone way too far and the dominance of 30-second television advertising in modern campaigns has lifted the requirement for fund-raising to absurd levels where you know, the average elected official at the federal level now house and senate spends an average of five hours a day simply raising money. and what that means is they go to the committee meetings less, they participate in the floor debates less. and when they're casting votes just because human nature is what it is, they're bound to be

thinking more about the impact of their votes on their next fund-raising efforts than they are about the effect on their constituents. >> stephanie: mr. vice president, it seems to me this republican field, while the best for comedy in years by the way i think a lot of people said they're running for fox contracts or something. i think that -- it is interesting. george will wrote a piece during the last election and compared sara palin to my father to which my sister wrote a very huffy letter. because my dad was chairman of the republican party. a congressman for 14 years, a prosecutor at the nurenberg trials. >> caller: very distinguished guy. i don't blame your sister. >> stephanie: obviously you were signature for climate change. you have to be shaking your head in 2012 when you look at all of the republican candidates just completely denying science.

>> caller: it shouldn't be a partisan issue at all. the core meaning of conservatism is to protect and preserve and conserve. and we're threatening the environment of the entire planet on which our human civilization is based. you know this month stephanie there have been thousands of high temperature records broken, seven or eight days in march in chicago with so far above 80 degrees. in many areas of the midwest the low temperatures for the day have broken the previous all-time high temperatures. >> ah, coincidence. >> and there is natural variability by the way. that does play a role but over time, you see the trend is sharply upward. 40% of the north pole ar icecap is gone. the sea level rises are now threatening many coastal areas in the u.s. and of course,

around the world. south florida being the most threatened. and the big storms are getting stronger and the extreme weather events are now linked in their frequency and severity to the growing amount of moisture in the atmosphere which comes directly from global warming but you knew when you brought up this subject, you would get an earful. >> stephanie: i don't know why. you might be chatty on this subject. sean hannity said it snowed on the east coast in the winter and made an al gore joke. what could possibly be happening. as my new employer, during this war on women, you're technically my boss, i need your permission to get birth control pills. >> isn't that amazing? i mean everybody -- others have said this but everybody thought this issue was settled in the u.s. decades ago! the very idea that -- you know,

it is just -- it is just absurd. and i could be wrong but i'm guessing that an awful lot of republican and independent women are not taking this so well. >> stephanie: i don't think so. by the way, i'm gave. i don't really need them. it is just you're not paying me that much so i want to sell them on the internet. >> it is a question of human dignity. it is connected to individual rights. which -- it is really the same issue, in a way. >> stephanie: mr. vice president, we're up against a hard break. i think you probably know you're welcome back any time. since it is your network. >> welcome to current. thank you vice president al gore. >> wow. whew! 29 minutes after the hour. right back on the "the stephanie miller show." does that. we're keeping it real.

president and his law because it is literally saving my life. it is stories like those right? >> unfortunately she's not free. >> stephanie: she's not what? >> she's not free. she has no liberties. she's under the tyrant. >> stephanie: charlie, what is your sense of what's happening there? chris was saying he's a little nervous. >> i don't think anything that has to do with what i'm standing in the middle of has anything to do with what's going on in sight. it is a good thing that people are this interested in their government. but i don't think sam monthly ito is going to look out the window and have a change of heart. do i think politics will influence their decision? absolutely. but i think the politics that will influence their decision have been established. >> everyone is trying to read into what the different justices said. except for clairence thomas is

watching porn as usual. [ laughter ] i don't know that for certain. he could be playing angry birds but in the end he'll say whatever scalia said. other than that, we're reading tea leaves. >> the smart people who studied this tells me it is very -- the odds are pretty decent that they won't overturn it. you can't tell with these guys. especially can't tell with kennedy because you have no way to know which way he's going to go. one guy with look outside and change his mind, it is him. >> stephanie: by the way, you also reported on the louisiana primary. you say which was won by rick santorum. have i mentioned recently what a colossal [ bleep ] he is. once again, the romney bot 2.0 found itself clogged by spanish moss and ilsuited for operations in the old confederacy. i mean, you know, this is just -- it is like -- it is supposed to be a rerun every

week, isn't it? >> except it is done now. i think he will finally beat him in wisconsin. he may even beat him in pennsylvania. let's face facts. last time he ran for anything, it didn't work out real well. >> i was just reading that. pennsylvania may end his career twice. >> it is a long, slow stagger to the finish line now. you know, it is very similar, i was talking to somebody about this. similar to brown clung on to clinton's ankles in 1992 where you keep going -- one of newton's laws at this point. body in motion tends to stay in motion. what gingrich is doing, i have absolutely no idea. i don't know what this is about anymore. >> that's what you say. he's there to say idiotic things. you cover him talking about the president acts too muslimy or whatever that was supposed to be about. then he said gingrich ran his mouth concerning what was said in reaction to trayvon martin.

said it was disgraceful. so he says the president is suggesting it had been a white that was shot, that was okay because it didn't look like him. an honest person would have to speak to interpret the president's remarks that way. >> if he can be satisfied with continuing to throw his hand grenade so that it will build up the fees in a year or two that's what he'll do. i honestly don't know what he's doing in the process anymore. santorum seems to have an authentic constituency. it is small and nutty but it is there. gingrich seems to represent no one. >> stephanie: you say santorum matched -- to borrow one of his favorite devotionals. obama bill. this was the rick santorum bill. you say it sadly lacks giant mechanical instinks to qualify as next summer's blockbuster but it is still scaly right? >> it is -- you know, usually

when you see a commercial, you can fick out what they're trying to get at. i don't know what they're trying to get at here. >> they're going for a mood. >> re-elect president obama because if you do, the country will turn into cormac mccarthy's the road instantly. with like raven sitting on fences cawing. >> you have to expect the robot army to be coming in the next scene. >> what i thought it was. i thought it looked like "battlefield earth." >> rick santorum, the oman between us and "bat thefield earth." >> i kept waiting for john travolta in that horrible haircut to show up. >> gene simmons boots. >> stephanie: exactly. >> by the way, i hear that the former vice president dropped by to say hi today. >> stephanie: and we remain on the air which is shocking. >> the former vice president delayed my segment. which we'll talk about later.

>> how close were you to being president, charlie pierce? >> you know what? you lose by 4,000 votes or four million, you're still in second place. >> stephanie: oh. charlie, it is interesting with the supreme court and you know of course, as we've talked about over and over and over again how many times did this memo just came out showing obama care absolutely was based on romney care. there is a memo showing that's what changed the president's mind. the mandate in massachusetts. >> republicans were always for the individual mandate. >> this is the -- that's the basic we are -- the end of the argument. >> stephanie: rick santorum is right on that. how does romney run on repealing healthcare when his plan clearly was based on the president -- the president's was based on rogny's. >> turn mitch upside down, shake him around. a picture will emerge. >> yeah. he's resorted to basically lying

about it. here he is yesterday. >> we were told -- now we're told it is more like $2 trillion. and then they said it would cut the cost of health insurance. in fact, it has increased the cost of health insurance. >> stephanie: lie, lie lie lie, lie. >> exactly what people in massachusetts are saying about his law. he's saying no, that's not true. i don't -- no. at this point, you know, he's backed up over his own feet so often, that he's going -- one foot going forward, one foot going backward. it is possible now that the race is sort of over, you'll see the greater coalesceance -- forgive what just went by. you know, you'll have a -- you'll have a kind of coalescing, a bunch of stories about how the party is getting behind him and he'll moderate and move to the center and

shot. he was also kept for three days without anybody -- his family being notified. >> stephanie: that's right. i know. there's -- by the way, i heard from a lawyer that said that it is not really smart for him to have his friends on it -- zimmerman having his friends on tv. because like you said, jim, a lot of that is unsubstantiated. it is trying to get information out there. he may or may not be provable. >> this new lawyer of zimmerman's probably ordered people to do this just to throw chum in the water. >> stephanie: casey in ft. lauderdale. hey. >> caller: hey, gang. i'm a little split. i got three points i want to make. first, i'm against the nra. they need to be -- i don't mean shut down but they need to be regulated. these laws they come up with are crazy. >> stephanie: by the way, if you watch turks, he was talking about it is bigger than that, casey. there is this whole -- it is a

whole murky right wing group that is involved with the nra. this isn't just florida. it is a lot of places they're getting these laws enacted. >> caller: i live in florida but not close to sanford. i'm in ft. lauderdale. i'm 41 years old. the hip-hop we listen to is run dmc. we were rockin' shell top adidas. >> mid adidas. no sleep till brooklyn. the youth of today -- this is the other part. parents need to be responsible too. the kids of today, how they're leaving the house. this goes for females too. girls who are 10 and 12 years old wearing daisy dukes the parents need to be responsible for their children when they leave the house. >> stephanie: you're not using the blame the hoodie argument, are you? >> caller: no. what i'm trying to explain is there's enough blame to go around with this. first, trayvon wasn't an innocent kid. they made it -- >> stephanie: excuse me? >> caller: they made him out as an innocent kid. he was part of this wanna be

as a model for states around the country. that's why this is a bigger issue. the nra played a role in passage of the bills and acceptance by alec of which the nra is a long-time funder. in the nearly seven years at least 23 states have passed florida-style shoot first laws. essentially. and -- but wait, there's more. why look at this. alec helps push for guns on campus. >> great. >> stephanie: in 2008 in the wake of mass clottings at virginia model legislation would have allowed any concealed permit holder to bring guns on college campuses. it expressed the carrying but banned colleges and universities from restricting any such policy >> wow. so if there is a shoot-out at a school and everyone there is armed, what do the cops shoot when they get there? everybody. everybody has a gun apparently.

massachusetts resident to buy insurance. barack obama picked up that idea and then applied it to the federal level. so the blueprint, the person who started this debate, the reason we're at the supreme court today is mitt romney. >> and other republicans. >> stephanie: it was bob dole's plan. i just talked to al gore about it this morning. >> it is not bob dole's plan. the country says it is not bob dole's plan it is not a friend of bob dole. >> stephanie: we talked about how the party has moved fath to the right. okay, so newly released white house memo shows the success of massachusetts's mand date may have convinced president obama. >> mandate? >> to adopt the strategy. >> stephanie: the voice spot is wound up this morning. maybe the television lights. >> it was the vegan cookies that aisha tyler brought in. there is something in the cookies.

hey. >> we're all looking for the tea leaves as to whether or not the justices will say the individual -- that it is required that everyone buy health insurance. we look for cues as this whether they'll rule that as unconstitutional. if you ask any law professor at any major legal classroom anywhere, they will say that if anybody were to turn in an argument this was somehow unconstitutional, they would fail the student but of course, we're talking about the supreme court and all of the politics that's in play. so, there was some indication yesterday even chief justice john roberts was signaling he was ruling that it would be favorable -- this gets into some of the legal mumbo jum mow bow. there is no mbility between a penalty and a tax. if that's his argument, you have to rule this as constitutional. >> stephanie: it is interesting. it is tea leaves at this point right? oh, what did they mean by that

question? or what did this signal? >> we're not going to get a ruling on this for another three months. there a lot of tension. about 1,000 demonstrators across the political spectrum. it is just a spectacular day in washington. springtime day. about 65 degrees. it is a weird day here in d.c. with so much sort of action outside the court. somber hush tones inside the court. thankfully, they're releasing audio each afternoon, a couple of hours after the arguments so we get a better sense to listen to the justices, to hear their inflections and try to figure out what they're doing. >> stephanie: david, i'm reading justices are under pressure from opponents and supporters to issue a definitive ruling to let businesses, states, the healthcare industry know whether to go ahead and implement it. >> a lot of pressure. good example of that was -- one of the issues is -- there is a law that says you're not supposed to take up an issue in

court until a tax has been imposed. the argument is it isn't ripe until 2014 and therefore the court shouldn't be hearing any arguments. the supreme court essentially farmed out that argument. they had a lawyer come in yesterday to make the case that well, no, you shouldn't pick this up until 2014 and of course, most of the justices were very skeptical. it was pretty clear yesterday. the court will make a decision. every indication there is a rule on this one way or another. >> stephanie: so, what happens today? >> so, what happens today is you have the solicitor general who argues for about an hour, an hour to make the case this is constitutional. the commerce clause, commerce this, that it is fine for the government to impose this permit on every american citizen who doesn't get healthcare. you have the 26 states represented by a couple of attorneys general who are arguing that this exceeds the bounds of power and they can't impose something or force people

to buy a product. even if it is for the greater good. the court has two hours of arguments over that this morning where the justices get to ask different questions of the attorneys on both sides. then tomorrow, there is an argument over medicaid and medicare payments and a little more sort of arcane stuff about the reimbursements to states and a states versus federalism sort of issue. it is the big argument today that simplistically is the mandate, the requirement everybody be part of the system to lower the cost for the greater good. is that constitutional or not. we should have a pretty good indication of at least what the legal issues we're concerning the justices what they were dwelling on when the transcript comes out. only about 300 people who are allowed. the rest of us who are stuck outside, transcripts and audiotapes they'll release in a couple of hours, we'll know then where the arguments went this morning. >> you get to be out there with some of the tea bearings so those must be some intelligent conversations. >> a lot of fun with the tea

baggers. i would think that progressive -- it feels like a progressive groups have done a better job. building up the enthusiasm and protecting healthcare. >> yeah. i think our demonstrators are too reasonable. i was reading one exchange with tea baggers yelling their usual stuff. government hands off the medicare. someone yelled where are your facts? [ laughter ] yeah. we're not good at slogans. go ahead. >> one of the most interesting protestors i saw was on the left. there is a small but pretty vocal contention of people on the left who say you know what, the only way healthcare gets solved is if we distinguish to universal healthcare. we hope the supreme court strikes this down because then the healthcare system will really implode and that may take us one step closer to universal coverage or medicare for all which is what a lot of folks on the left -- i would think that's the easy solution.

let me take a moment to say a tee and then a hee. what we've affect long argued. let's turn to the republican race. did rick santorum make an appearance there today? >> came by yesterday. more contention than he's gotten in washington, d.c. >> stephanie: the clown car came by and discharged one from of the clowns from the republican primary. but it is an interesting time when you've got mitt romney, the memos came out today. obama care was absolutely based on romney care. they have the memos proving it. so, rick santorum making that point over and over in the wake of the supreme court thing. >> rick santorum seems like he's losing his cool. there he was over the weekend screaming at jeff dillon of "the new york times" because he had the audacity to ask him a question that mitt romney is the worst republican to run against barack obama. a few sentences later he

explains why that he's talking about romney being the blue precipitation for obama's healthcare system. it is an audacious thing for romney to say he's the worst republican... he was crazy. rick santorum totally lost his cool. more questions about is rick santorum melting down at this point because even he knows that for him to get the nomination, he needs like 76% of the remaining delegates. that's not going to happen. >> stephanie: he broke the cardinal rule as i mentioned yesterday. he said that -- you know, barack obama would be better than mitt romney. oh, no he didn't, right? >> yeah. look. all of the candidates sometimes make their goofs and mistakes when they're speaking over and over. but it seemed like rick santorum is becoming unhinged. i look for some of the reasons newt gingrich became unhinged. the mitt romney campaign simply buried rick santorum under negative ads and santorum is look up at the polling whether

it was illinois or ohio or all of these states where he's wondering and supporters are wonder if he didn't have his millions and if it was a level playing field in terms of advertising, hick santorum might be winning this thing. he feels mitt romney has crossed the line in terms of the negative stuff romney has put on the air. when folks talk about the republican party will eventually unite, i don't think so. i think newt gingrich is still steamed. i think santorum is clearly infuriated. >> stephanie: what is the point of newt gingrich as a carbon based life form even. i mean not as a candidate. i mean really. >> i will be president of the moon frankly. >> people are paying attention to newt gingrich if only because he has the opportunity or capacity of tripping up mitt romney. newt gingrich is getting more attention than he's gotten in 14, 15 years. this is his last hurrah. i think gingrich will work this for everything that it's worth. he's going to take this all the

way to convention and prime time speaking spot and look, i think newt gingrich would prefer if romney loses because then gingrich feels justified this guy ran negative ads against me, i don't want that jerk to be president of the united states. >> stephanie: to quote my favorite movie, american president, because we booked rob reiner for next week. this is a serious time in america. we need serious people to solve these issues. newt gingrich, how do you say the president is racializing and pretty sizing the trayvon martin case and is he saying it would have been good if it was a white kid that was shot. yes, that's exactly what the president was saying, newt. >> that dog whistles to the right. it leaves -- no matter what the president says, no matter what the obama administration says there will be somebody on fox news or someone on the craziness in america who will take some sort of issue with it and try to turn it into oh, they're dividing us or they're making us a racial -- wait a second. this is a racial story to begin with.

>> stephanie: right. >> i think newt gingrich, his people who support newt beginning rich people on the right, they love this stuff. i think that's unfortunately part of the problem with american politics today is there are very few rational people in the republican party these days who are willing to have -- let's just have an honest conversation about this. there have been some honest conversations about trayvon martin and there have been some responsible comments from political figures on the right. those have been overshadowed by the utter stupidity and craziness of folks like newt gingrich. >> what is your sense having covered so many of these emotional and controversial issues like the trayvon martin case? we had thousands of people yesterday streaming through the streets there in florida. it seems like this story is gaining steam, not losing it. >> i think it is getting steam. it will keep getting steam until george zimmerman is under oath and gives his sworn testimony as to what he says hand. just giving interviews through his lawyers to the "orlando sentinel" will not cut it. people want to know what is the

grand jury testimony? what is the grand jury view? once the grand jury does something, i presume they would level an indictment and leave it to a court to decide, there will be the televised courtroom trial and hearing and i think in some way, it becomes something of a media spectacle which, in a way is fueled by a lot of simmering acre and resentment -- anger and resentment. we have not come as far on racial issues as people would like to think. as much as the media may overhype it and it will become if the media has its way there are still some underlying issues that are fueling this that we're going to have an opportunity as a country to look in the mirror and see what sort of society we with are. >> david shuster, are you the reason god invented skype. because next time we need to see your penetrating blue eyes. >> stephanie, you're a doll. appreciate it. enjoy the tv stop. you're doing great. so glad to you have on board. we'll be talking with you soon. >> i love you, dade shuster. >> love you, too stephanie.

[screaming] >> it was a little bit hard to understand that.

>> so, the devious obama is saying that he wants to put off major international decisions until after he gets re-elected. how can he say that? based on the strength of this republican field? he's the first politician that has ever implied he's going to win the election. all right. let's finish up right wing world. rush limbaugh with a lesson for us on what liberals believe. >> when be i was growing up, the liberals around me seemed to think of everything and everyone in black and white. same thing. i have the same observation that jay nordlinger has. it is the left that doesn't see the humanity in people. they see the surface. it is the left who sees black and white. male and female, gay and straight. whatever. because they groupfy everybody. victimize everybody. they don't ever just see people. >> stephanie: oh rush, if

only we could be as deep as you. everybody groupfy so we can victimize you.

mother, you can hear that child crying for help. >> stephanie: absolutely. >> caller: he wouldn't be the pursuer if he's looking for all of these people in this gated community to turn on these lights, look out see that this man is doing whatever to him. that's one point. >> stephanie: the ironic thing, jo an is trayvon martin is the one who needed a neighborhood watch person to help him. >> caller: the other point i'll hang up and let you guys talk about it. why was this man on his back? why when trayvon when they saw trayvon on the ground, this man was straddled across -- >> stephanie: exactly. >> caller: did he shoot him in the back and jump on him to turn him over. the reason police thought he was shot in the chest? >> >> stephanie: not helping him or anything. >> the guy with the gun would not be the one shouting for help. >> stephanie: james cameron has completed his journey to earth's deepest point. >> that's pretty cool. >> stephanie: the world's
