>> i'm still running by humpday me at halsparks.com. and you with tweet me. you can twit me. >> we have to read the good and bad reviews. max let's see -- max, oh, he tuned in yesterday. i only say the last ten minutes of your show, but based on my opinion is you are very rigid and stuck in the past. seems like mostly i heard you making fun of george w. bush. that's because at the time we were doing a story about how george w. bush has been invisible in this campaign. so since ho saw five minutes, he thought that's what we do for

three hours a day. >> yeah. we're still living through the damage that he created. >> the george w. bush impressionist, they acted like they may have been smoking dope. >> not dope. >> announcer: >> announcer: stephanie miller. >> you came crawling back to broadway. broadway doesn't go for booze and dope. >> we were immating the dope. >> maxwell gave us another chance. i'll watch again sometime, but the little bit i saw did not seem very current.

tv i got an email the other day. john said i'm sitting here in kentucky watching you on the tv. >> he did put the before tv in kentucky. >> i wrote right back. i'm like thank you. good of you to come on. good morning representative. >> you look like you are having much too much fun. >> we are. >> i have some of kentucky's finest rather than the smoking variety -- >> between you and i, john we both know that unfortunately a big portion of kentucky's finest is the smoking variety. and secondly i do no drink nor have i ever, and part of that is because i was bussed to school near the sour mash plant in frankfort every day for four years.

>> yikes. >> yeah. >> representative yarmuth announces -- return cash to americans struggling with high gas prices. >> that's crazy. >> nuts. >> i know. i know. well, the oil companies, the big five only made $137 billion in profits last year. >> you can barely afford enough separate elevators for your cars with that kind of money. >> i'm sure compared to other years that is way down. >> not exactly. these are record profits, and we still have in the tax code a provision which gives the oil companies about $4 billion a year in tax preferences, which they clearly don't need. matter of fact back in 2005 when george bush was president, he said once oil gets beyond $50 a barrel or so there's no justification for these tax

break, and now oil is twice that $104 yesterday, and we still give them the break. so i said since they don't need it. they actually admitted to congress that they didn't need it. the oil company executives, then why don't we take that away from them, and give it back to the consumers who are paying for that profit, and help them get through the summer. >> yeah. >> so everybody gets a proportion at it care of the $38.6 billion that they would get over the next ten years, and that would amount to about $160 per vehicle, small business would have five trucks or vans or whatever, would get $800 and again, we're paying -- we're contributing to that profit. we're making that money for them. on top of that we're giving them this tracks preference -- >> why do you hate america? >> yes.

[ laughter ] >> i'm on the budget committee, and when we were considering the republican budget and i offered an amendment to do just that. and of course it was defeated. every republican voted against it, every democrat voted for it. but what was interesting were the arguments they used against it which were absolutely hilarious. things like it is only $38.6 billion that's not going % to cure the deficit by itself. >> well -- >> eliminating the food stamp program and head start wouldn't secure the deficit but you are doing that. >> here is the president yesterday. >> governor romney said he hoped a similar version of this plan from last year would be introduced as a bill on day one of his presidency. he said he is very supportive of this new budget, and he even called it marvellous. [ laughter ] >> which is a word you don't

often hear when it comes to describing a budget. >> and he went on to say, really much ever, except for mitt romney. >> i heard that. i called the republican budget the all for one budget, all for the 1%. >> yeah. >> and that's what it is. between 2009 and 2012, 93% of all of the increase in income in the united states went to the top 1%. clearly the republicans were upset that that 7% got away so they decided to pass this budget which gives the richest americans even more tax break for those making over a million dollars a year, it's a $150,000 extra. so clearly this is the -- >> if you look at how -- you

know, his report on -- you know that he just did a deeper look at income and equality and the kind of view of where they are as americans it's almost like they are cashing out. at one point america was an investment and now they are like i see that investment going downhill, so i'm going to start pulling my money out. >> that's exactly right. yeah, let's stop investing in america. >> i think that's a really good point. and that's one of the frustrations we have. and i'm glad the president sounded as frustrated with the republican perspective as he did. because it deserves frustration and exasperation is probably a better emotion. >> congressman is this just a different color binder or what? oh, it's my new plan. >> it's not -- well it's not -- the budget that -- that the republicans approved last year, didn't have as many draconian cuts in things like

medicaid and pell grants and so forth as this one does. and they didn't double down on the tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. last year they just said the tax cuts permanent. >> they say it addresses the deficit, and it doesn't. >> it's absolutely absurd and chris van helm has made the point vividly. it calls for massive tax cuts over the next four years and paul ryan said he is going to offset that with closing loopholes. but basically, even the numbers that he talked about there would still be $3.5 trillion of additional debt over the period. you just can't do what he says

you can do. paul ryan accused us of having our head in the sand he has his in the clouds -- i would say something else -- >> i was hoping you were going to. >> he is dreaming about the deficit reduction in his budget. >> yeah, exactly. representative john yarmuth always a pleasure sir. >> thank you. and congratulations on being on current tv. >> thank you. if you see your mom say hi to her. >> paul ryan says 62% of the cuts in paul ryan's plan come from low-income programs and 37% of the tax cut goes to americans earning more than $1 million. 40% are going to -- by the way pulling a million dollars in profit. not just make it, you make it above and beyond all of the other tax benefits that you are

getting in the first place. your incorporation all of that stuff. >> yeah. sheila in pennsylvania. welcome. >> yeah, hi. i just wanted to address the voter registration -- the id. >> yeah. >> i forgot how to say it -- i was so busy listening to your conversation. >> they change the name of it everywhere to make it more difficult to get. >> exactly. and in pennsylvania they just put through a voter registration id law. our governor has said -- he has been caught on tape saying that he would like to stop -- philadelphia is the democratic town. >> right. >> and has been a democratic town ever since i can remember. and he said he would like to stop the power of philadelphia from -- from changing the vote in pennsylvania. >> exactly. sometimes they get caught saying the truth. these laws are designed to keep people from voting that tend to

vote for democrats. >> i -- i guess tom hartman plays the clip all the time but there is a conservative religious speaker back in the '80s who is saying the illusion is he want more people to vote and that's exactly wrong. >> when people vote democrats tend to win. >> right. and they made a decision let's make fewer people with limited ability vote. >> exactly. kids go to meeting, how could we survive without it here at the "stephanie miller show." well, we couldn't. unfortunately meeting all of your clients in person can be next to impossible. that's why we use go to meeting with hd faces. >> you could be in a go to meeting while standing in line behind humpty, hump. >> hello.

it will be struck down. what do you think? >> i think it's a political body and right now it's 5-4 republicans, and i think it has a good chance of being struck down. now there is supposed to be jurises who are only looking at the law. the constitutionally of this law is clear. the interstate commerce clause the necessary and proper clause the section 8 of article 1 gives congress the power to do all of this. the argument that somehow you can't force people to do something, you can go back to the days of george washington who required seamen to have insurance or john adams who required people to have guns in their home toe fight the

british. >> the president was also talking about legal scholars who are not fans of the law who were agreeing. >> it is exactly what the right rails about. the judicial activism that has been criticized during fdr's court and others would somehow impact this negatively. you never see more judicial activism than you have with gore versus bush and citizens united and now this case. if they want to they can clearly find it constitutional. >> i think it's incredible to me that -- i mean i -- what would be your preference. what if they just strike down the mandate? then there goes the whole understanding pinning for not being able to discriminate against preexisting conditions. >> yes. yes, you can leave those on the

books, but then the premiums will go sky high. in states like california they have banned the rescission element, which allows, ensures to rescind that coverage if they can find that you didn't disclose that you had acne when you were 16. but there are so many benefits already in place. those up to the age of 26 -- 2.5 million young adults are on their parent's plans right now. there are 5 million seniors who are saving millions a month. 80 millions of americans are getting benefits where they aren't paying copays. those copays are 200, $300 at time. not to mention the 1300 youngsters who are dealing with cancer or asthma who cannot be

excluded from health care pollties because of a preexisting condition. throws in place and at risk of being lost if this is overturned. >> here is some shocking news. mitt romney not doing so well this women. women of course -- only 30% support romney while 60% support the president. i think a lot of these issues are resinating don't you? >> absolutely. there's an 18-point gender gap this year. it's really unprecedented. in the year of the woman which was 1992 we were all relieved that finally we had arrived but irony is there have been less women elected to congress in

toto than in 1992. so we have a chance to take women from 17% of the congress to something more equitable with this particular election, and i think it will be the women of this country that reelects president obama. >> with some of these headlines it's because of guys like this. this is a michigan legislative republican they passed a bill that would allow medical practitioner to deny medical procedures based on religious beliefs. he said he knows about operator rooms, because his father was a veterinarian. [ laughter ] >> they are doubling down on this, it's not like -- except one of mitt romney's surrogates this week said -- in the general you'll see the real mitt romney he said.

and when -- and it will close the gender gap. do you think there's really a way he can make up for the entire tide of the gop's attitude toward women. >> this is the etch-a-sketch you are about to see. >> right. >> he has made so many statements that are so far to the right -- he has basically said i will get rid of support for planned parenthood. i will get rid of family planning. 99% of the women in this country have used contraceptives at one point or another in their lives, and 98% of catholic women have. >> it seems to me this is why a lot of reasonable republicans are getting out of the business senator olympia snow said i feel like this is a retro debate that took place in the 1950s. she added that sandra fluke should have been commended for

speaking out rather than being attacked. there's no room for republicans like that anymore. >> that's right. that's why she is leaving. i also think we're going to see women really rising up on this issue. i don't think they will take this sitting down and i think it's somewhat of a suicidal mission that the republicans are on, in their efforts to try to suggest this is the way it should be. >> yes. jackie speier thanks so much for coming on the new tv show. >> oh, yeah, i'm very excited for you. it's terrific. >> thank you. all right. representative jackie speier, talk again very soon.

the country should look like in the future. republicans are saying this is another version of trickle-down economics. if we maximize all of benefits for the rich we'll have a great country. if we have a strong growing middle class, we'll have a stronger country. >> he said instead of moderating their views even slightly, republicans have doubled down. he made the comment this is so far to the right this makes america look like the new deal. he said two presidents championed governments that said we are a great nation and he said region couldn't get through a republican primary today. >> that's absolutely true. when president bush was in office in 2001 they passed a

huge tax cut for the wealthy. and then they doubled down again on it in 2003 and five years later, we near a situation where the wealthier were never wealthier, the mid-ing class was struggling more than ever, we had ballooning deficits and we had the nation on the presspus of a financial collapse. we need to go back to a system where we're putting the middle class the priority where everybody gets a fair shake. >> he said ronald reagan understood repeatly when the deficit got out of control, he would have to propose cuts and tax increases, but they just don't want to hear it. >> they don't. it is without debate that the

approach that president reagan advocated for was an balanced approach, one that would -- yes, ask the federal government to tighten their belts, to look for ways to cut spending but also to ask those at the top of the income scale to pay a little bit more. that was his approach. that is exactly the approach that president obama is pursuing. but what republicans are saying is we're going to give a tax cut to the people at the top of the income scale and pay for that by slashing investment in education, research and development, and medicare and medicaid. it is -- their values and the vision they have for the future of this country, aren't just very different than from president obama is advocating they are very different from that president reagan was advocating. >> they would be running these programs in the face of the largest cut to medicaid that has

ever been proposed. it would take away health care for about 19 million americans. >> this sounds exactly like the unfunded mandate that republicans run against. this is like a newt gingrich thing. they are going to be against unfunded mandates, but it would ask the states to carry more of the weight, bare more of the responsibility and do so with less money. >> josh, we just had representative jackie speier on, and asked her about the president's comments that he thinks the supreme court will uphold the healthcare act, she said she is not sure. many commentators say scalia seem to be political talking points. but the fact is they are not staying out of politics, are they? >> i think it's hard to tell, because i do think -- last week in washington, d.c. everybody in -- all of the color

commentators came out of the woodwork to try to predict what the outcome of this case was going to be, based on the questions of the justices. and the truth of the matter is the government lawyers defending the affordable care act at lower levels came under very difficult questioning from other conservative judges, who ended up actually ruling in our favor to uphold the law. so these are judges that are conservative that were appointed by republican presidents. but at the end they looked at the facts and upheld the law. so we don't want to get too far out on trying to predict how the supreme court will react. if you look at the legal fundamentals here, that this is something -- you know, that we believe is without a doubt constitutional. >> josh, how are you enjoying the republican primary?

[ laughter ] >> are you scared? >> it's fair to say we have watched with interest. [ laughter ] >> great way of putting it. >> uh-huh. but i work at the white house here. i am a public servant and focused primarily on my job as is the president. we're going to -- the president has a couple of bill signings today. so the president, you know has certainly been paying attention to what has been happening, but he has been pretty busy -- >> he must agree with newt gingrich who thinks this should go on as long as possible. [ laughter ] >> the majority of the candidates who remain in the race i think would agree -- >> you don't want a boring convention. that's the last thing you want. [ laughter ] >> are you -- obviously this looks to be -- i mean yesterday was the first time the president actually said mitt romney's name.

i assume we're starting the turn towards the general. >> well, it is the first time in a while. there has been other circumstances in which governor romney's name came up. the president delivered a speech at the national governor's association meeting here at though white house in early 2011, where he talked about health care and trying to grant waivers to states looking at greater flexibility. and the cited the example of governor romney in massachusetts, in applying some of the principals of expanding coverage and cutting costs. but we are sort of gradually easing into a period where we'll have a morrow bust debate about who has the right vision for the country, and when the time comes for us to join that debate fully we'll look forward to that opportunity. >> in barack obama's government-centered society, the

government has to do more because the economy is doomed to do less. >> all of the right wing is like he wants to run the car companies -- >> uh-huh. >> and the president has always said i don't want to run car companies, and what a spectacular success the auto rescue company was. >> right. the president took office with a big mess to clean up. >> yeah. >> right? and so it's ironic, then for republicans to basically come in and say it sure looks like he enjoys cleaning up messes. >> right. >> their critique is the president has been so involved in cleaning up this mess that that must be what he always wants to do. the president pointed out he didn't run for office because he wanted to run a car company. >> yeah. >> this is the necessary part of saving the national economy. >> that's exactly right. and from the beginning he said it's going to be the private sector that will lead this

recovery. that our nation that is functioning most strongly when we have a vibrant system of free enterprise that is accessible to our middle class. >> we get called obama appologists every day, and you know what we have to say? thank you. josh, always a pleasure. hope you'll come back. josh earnest deputy press secretary at the white house. >> thank you very much guys. >> thank you.

perspective for you. treasury bonds sold at 2%. and if the stafford loan rates double, that would make students pay off their interest loans at 6.8%. approximately 30 students were pepper sprayed last night. as they protested budget hike -- fee hikes and budget cuts. >> i wasn't -- i would never expect that to happen to me especially at school. >> the ap reports the students were trying to get into a trustee meeting after refusing to move to a larger venue. the ap reports that two officers were backed up against the wall when they decided to use force. five people treated at the scene. two taken to the hospital but no reports of serious injuries. the college says this is the first time the pepper spray had been used on their campus to their knowledge. stay tuned more steph after the
