power exists. president obama made a statement that can -- both enacted by democratic elected officials. it would be unprecedented for the court to strike it down. president obama clarified. he said he intended the second meeting he would go into more detail. as the president explained, we have not seen a court overturn the law that was passed on an economic issue. >> the supreme court is the final say on our constitution and our laws and all of us have to respect it. but it's precisely because of that extraordinary power that the court has traditionally exercised significant restraint. >> yeah, exactly. and as someone pointed out the

[ laughter ] >> yeah. >> that's the best way not to get one vote, is not be on the ballot. >> yeah. how did that screw that up that badly -- >> the answer is that it was never a serious campaign until it was. >> right. >> and remember he didn't even win iowa until several weeks after. >> right. >> and the money that comes in by winning an early victory allows you to go forward. so for the first couple of weeks it looked like he was out of the race. and then he was rediscovered and then they went south, and the farther south he went the more votes he got.

>> his own staff is like i thought he was a joke in a sweater vest. >> yeah, no one could afford to do a serious campaign. and part of the charm was that it seemed to be this man of the people thing. that's the one thing that he does better than mitt romney. >> right. >> but there was no money in it. and literally without money, you don't have the staff to get yourself on the ballot. he was on the ballot in a number of districts in ohio. >> wow. this will come as a great shock to you. wisconsin and maryland romney still struggling to win over low-income voters. >> huh. >> yeah. >> but including states he has lost big time he has always won with people making $100,000 a year or more. >> these are pour people. >> he has those people nailed

down. >> yeah, and have two cars. >> romney wins among wealthy voters. >> huh. >> the trend continues in -- he won maryland and wisconsin. romney's vote share increases and income goes up, and he captured a big majority of the wealthiest. unable to break those making under $100,000 a year. >> which is why republicans are working so hard to keep poor people from voting. >> just rich people should vote. >> it's not a poll tax, but that's exactly what they want. making it harder to register to vote, and harder to participate in the process is aimed at keeping the people who would vote against mitt romney from showing up. it's working at the state level actually. unfortunately. >> speaking of the vice presidents -- you saw rubio --

>> marco. >> rubio. >> came out yesterday and said i'm not going to be vice president. >> can he see the future? [ laughter ] >> what is your take on that? obviously he has been the most rumored name. >> i don't know whether he is taking himself out. i don't know if that's the so-called shermanesque statement. it doesn't say i won't take it as offered. but some people are campaigning for it. one is paul ryan. >> he is right that whoever is on the ticket is not going to win. >> but is it going to be rogue choice as sarah palin is calling for -- >> alan west -- >> rogue meaning completely unqualified and like me. >> rouge meaning black in this case. >> oh. >> look at what she is doing here -- >> it's their typical play look

we have a woman. look we have hispanics, we like one. >> and apparently herman cain is not available. he is doing commercials. >> let's go to miles in tucson. hi, miles. >> how are you doing? >> good. >> i need to ask a question about zimmerman, wouldn't he be responsible for [ inaudible ]. >> there has been some talk about that. >> about whether they can sue the homeowner association. but i guess he wasn't an official one. but it's not like there ask a uniform with it -- >> he should have gotten a segue at least. >> hey, steph. i love your show.

it was great to get liberal -- finally, finally, down here in the south. all i have got to listen to is msnbc, and they have turned so conservativist, i love your show. >> you don't think joe scarburrow is liberal? >> i love your show. it's great because down here you don't know how hard it is to be a democrat. >> it is. >> do you have to pull the blinds and the curtains when you watch me on current tv in tennessee? >> i about have to. >> it's about like watching porn, isn't it? >> i put up obama signs the last election, and they up about one day, and the next night somebody has torn them down and destroyed them. >> spread the word in tennessee,

even if you have to whisper. >> i do spread the wore. i love the shot of you when you were standing toward the camera. >> the ass cam? >> why, thank you, dave -- momma will give you a little more sugar later on. >> is that as cam. or ass cam? >> someone will say are you stephanie miller. and i'll be like, that depends. >> why are you asking? >> yeah. i won't put an obama bumper sticker out here let alone the south. >> yeah, what kind of country is that? and it's okay to use the word, don't renege in 2012? that is okay? seriously. >> al gore and bill clinton were southern democrats. remember? this was the new democratic majority in 1992 20 years ago.

that doesn't exist anymore. bill clinton and al gore would not gain traction in some of the places that have elected them in the past. arkansas has completely turned republican. >> yeah. >> that's changed in 20 years. >> yeah. >> wherever you are it's all right to be in here in the clubhouse with us at current. come home to align us. 18 minutes after the hour. we'll return with david bender next on the "stephanie miller show." >> this is too weird man. >> announcer: it's the "stephanie miller show." >> okay. yay! >> yay! >> you're funded. >> yeah, we're still up on current, just to let you know. >> you say that as if what i say is inappropriate. >> well, you have before.

[ laughter ] >> hi, greg. >> good morning. i love your show. i listen every day. are the koch brothers setting gas prices to help us pay for their campaign pledge of $250 million. >> what do the koch brothers have to do with gas prices -- >> they are oil industry people. >> oh, i get what you are saying. okay. that was a little conspiracy theory -- >> it is true. they are making more money as long as gas prices stay up. and mitt romney i was reading this morning, the more money he gets the more he spends on attack ads.

he went 40 million already to destroy just rick santorum and newt gingrich. and they are not real opponents. >> who knew how many crazy billionaires we had in america. that was new to me. >> he destroyed shannon o'brien, just went completely negative and poured a ton of money in. everyone says mitt romney is so unlikable he could never be elected. and he doesn't care. >> he'll need to stop talking. >> that's true. >> part two of whacky laws out of arizona. arizona bill would declare pregnancy two weeks before conception. >> huh? >> how about that on the war on women. it claims it would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

but experts say it effectively bans abortions after 18 weeks and declaring a woman could be pregnant two weeks before she became pregnant. >> i was educated in arizona, yet i know more about biology than the arizona state legislation -- >> the fetus -- >> she's a potential slut. >> yeah. >> hb 20-36 takes the 20-week abortion one step further by counting from the women's last menstrual period -- >> wow. >> one analyst said considering it's anti-choice nuts they would simply prefer all women of ro productive age are considered to

be pregnant on the idea that they could be pregnant. >> wow. >> this is how beyond ridiculous we have gotten. >> mommy where do babies come from? >> from your menstrual cycle two weeks before. >> yeah. >> unbelievable, but yet not really. >> yet in this day and age, not. >> this is the state that gives us sheriff joe. and he says he is not going to pay attention to the investigation. >> lisa in chicago. you are on the "stephanie miller show." >> hi. >> hi. >> i -- i was in a car accident a couple of months ago, and i have a 99% bumper sticker on my car. >> uh-huh. >> and the police officer while i'm in the emergency room confronted me about what did i mean about having that sticker on my car. >> woe!

there's some good police work. >> yes, it was very good investigation on his part. and he is probably about ten years older than me, and i know i'm not going to be a millionaire as a teacher, and i think as a police officer he should know better. it was disconcerting to see the least. because i was like really we're going to do this now. >> was his point that you had it coming because of the bumper sticker? >> he could have been. he didn't say, but i had a feeling it was going that way. >> unbelievable. >> and yet not. >> if they support millionaires -- >> it rubs off. >> it's the lottery mentality. >> i'll find out if that works. i'm going to hold him upside down outside the window. torie osborn next on the "stephanie miller show." ♪

have term limits so every six year the state, assembly and senate seats come up and it's important that folks have a real track record of bringing people together. and we're at a time of extrordanaire change. occupy wall street has put inequality on the agenda finally. they have a chance of stopping those who have blocked raising money for schools, i an activist who has been involved for years in pulling people together to basically change policy for the 99% -- >> how awesome would it be in the supreme court strikes down affordable care, and we get single payer? aren't they saying that single payer is what would be constitutional. >> right now i think we have a little ways to go before we get there. and in california i think what

will happen is we'll end up implementing kind of our own version of health reform. but affordable care act, the problem is it's not affordable. >> you have been trying to get single payer even in california. the way mitt romney did for affordable care in massachusetts. >> what? it is nothing like obamacare. >> do not look behind the curtain. but we could do that here in california; is that right? >> we could. vermont passed it. california could be the second state. there is a growing movement of people on the ground -- sheila took it from the margins to the main streams, put it on the governor's desk twice and it was vetoes twice by arnold schwarzenegger -- >> i can pay for my own broken femur. well, i was going to say a lot of this is because of someone that was elected largely on

movie catch phrases; don't you think? >> that's right. and it's time to bring a social justice activist in. someone who has the capacity to speak truth to power, i have done it all my life and i'm looking forward to taking on the sacramento machine, which has its own candidate in this race, so we're getting some good training out here. >> the chopper! >> yeah. torie i was looking at a "politico" headline. one thing as an lgbt activist the headline is republicans retreat on gay marriage. now they are mostly silent. as someone who has been doing this kind of work for how ever many years we really are marching forward, aren't we? >> we have built an

extraordinary movement that has won over hearts and mind of america. history will tell of extrordanaire achievement that has been. it has been a lot of hard work and really smart strategic building of the legal, the legislative, the grassroots the social and cultural movement. these things don't come out of the sky -- >> torie it is because of people like you and ron reiner who we're having in next week. and you are absolutely right, it is one heart and mind at a time. let me read you some more of this political piece. republicans in congress don't care to have gay marriage litigated in the capitol. it has quietly worked behind the scenes to kill amendments. there has been an evolution in the mrit skal approach, and a cultural shift in the country. i'm looking at a "wall street journal" news poll there is a

9% shift among republicans. and among 18 to 24 year olds, are nearly 80%. >> children of the future. >> yeah. >> it has been the civil rights win of the last 20 years, really. it is a total turn around and it is because of the hard work of a movement of people. but it was connected to the crisis of hiv aids. and people need to realize how often opportunities for advancement are built on the tragedy and struggle of loss and people who have incomed united like an experience like aid. and it's because -- the leaders, the -- just the fierce intensity of desire for a legacy and frankly the movement in infrastructure that was built, the organizations, the training grown, the place where leaders were built, and that -- it is on that infrastructure of

that -- of that -- amazing epidemic, and -- and the fighting of act up and the activism on the streets, and building an orchestra of a movement, an hiv that then built what we have now. >> yeah, well -- my -- in my case my high school boyfriend died of aids and that was certainly one of the things that help politicizing me. he was the best guy i ever new. and that's exactly what is happening in a lot of these movements. particularly i think gay rights. the more people have a human face it's your sister doctor brother, or favorite radio host i think the polls are showing that that is the biggest predicator is that you know somebody. >> yes.

and i also want to make analogy here. we have just tried to destroy -- the right-wing has tried to destroy the delivery system for the california and american dream of course, which is government, public education health and human services. >> government is not the enemy -- >> government is not the enemy. >> yeah, it's us. >> and so my analogy here is out of the criesic of this economic inequality, we the rebuild a greener society. >> if only you were well-spoken. >> yeah, really. >> exactly. >> and had some sort of eloquence -- >> you are the best argument against term limits. realizing now, and this is something -- we don't have time for the debate, but one of the things that is awful about term

limited is really talented people that were just getting the hard work done had to leave. ted kennedy would have been out after one term? you look at the legacy of people who really do serve, it's awful to think that you could go in and be out -- but let's get you there first. and one of the ways we're doing that is tonight. and there are tickets still available. a few. i happen to know just a few for -- it's lily tomlin hal sparks, bruce filanch for torie osborn, and torieosborn.com. it is going to be a great event tonight, torie. we are going to have so much fun at your expense actually.
