[ applause ] >> stephanie: we're going to get more. i'm hoping for a steph-head one. get it? [buzzer] >> stephanie: i would like to take another opportunity to deny that i ever slept with any of the pizza brothers in lockport, new york. thank you. [ applause ] >> stephanie: i don't know who started that rumor.

dan in amherst. >> yeah. you had to think about it, whether you did or not. that was the dead give away. >> stephanie: okay. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: it was right after john in amherst and part of the knowledge about the mortgage a roomful of black guys. >> stephanie: caused the mortgage crisis. [ applause ] >> stephanie: wowee. speaking of sexy liberal, ladies and gentlemen. he was live with us at the ft. lauderdale show. >> and now it's time for congressman alan grayson and your chance to "face the grayson." >> stephanie: good morning former and future. >> yes, lie was an understatement. >> stephanie: you were delightful as always! >> thank you. >> stephanie: so is this incredible? the president is politicizing -- bin laden when this is a party that politicized 9-11 for how long? >> look, let's stick to the real

issues here. >> stephanie: okay. >> mitt romney believes in america. >> stephanie: okay. all right. >> he said it. he believes in america. that's good because think of how embarrassing it might be to have a president who thought that america was imaginary! >> stephanie: exactly. >> or like narnia. that could get us in a lot of trouble if that happens. >> he also believes in the magic spectacles. >> stephanie: as former and future, you know, the problem is here, this is a quantifiable george bush let bin laden get away at tora bora, said he didn't care where he is. president obama ran on this. did it. and i think what makes it fair game is mitt romney is on record criticizing you know, then candidate obama said he was going to do. >> i don't think you understand obama's motivation here. i think bin laden had his real birth certificate. >> ah! now it all makes sense!

>> stephanie: see what you did there. i think joe biden's line of attack, what do you think? g.m. is alive. bin laden is dead. >> it does sort of summarize what the priorities of this administration might be. this administration has a good job in trying to keep the economy going and very difficult -- in very difficult conditions and also protected us. i don't know what the romney administration might do except to show an enormous concern for the unborn. i don't know. i think that that's the real difference in this election. romney would focus on the unborn like santorum and gingrich and obama focuses on the born. >> stephanie: i think -- i don't know if you've seen some of the new ads but i think they're dead on! one of them says as a corporate ceo, romney shipped jobs to mexico and china. he outsourced jobs to india. he is still pushing tax breaks for companies that push jobs

overseas. it is what you expect from a guy who has a swiss bank account. it is all fair game, isn't it? >> we understand what his economic policy would be. i respect it. i think that he wants to create jobs in america. he wants to create jobs for butlers, for maids, for chauffeurs, for gardeners and american jobs, too. the maids would have to like french maids. but they wouldn't have to be french. >> stephanie: he's creating jobs for car elevator mechanics of which there are so many. >> his dream for america. he wants everyone rich or poor to have an elevator for his car. >> stephanie: there was another web campaign. mitt romney's record. he highlights countries all over the world who benefited from romney's records. specific exams of romney companies who sent jobs overseas. they have an info graphic detailing ireland, the cayman islands, switzerland and others. for someone that believes in america, he doesn't believe in having his money here, does he? >> he believes in the idea of america. >> stephanie:.

[ laughter ] yeah. if he's saying, alan, he is running on his record as a businessman and as a job creator, i think david axelrod said his business career was not about job creation. it was about wealth creation for himself and his partners that came through vehicles like outsourcing, bankrupting off of those bankruptcies. it cost jobs and wages that didn't create them. boom. nothing but net, don't you think? >> he does have a record. he has a record as a public official. let's give him credit where credit is due. i know you don't like to do that. let's give him credit where credit is due. he created the first system of universal healthcare in america. >> stephanie: yes, that's true. >> massachusetts is the only state in america that has universal healthcare and romney wants to keep it that way. >> stephanie: here's my dream. you want to hear my dream? >> yes. i would love to hear your dream. [magical sound] >> tell me about your dream.

>> stephanie: it starts as a nightmare. >> am i in this dream? >> stephanie: yes! [ laughter ] just be patient. we're not there yet. so it starts with the scrottous the conservative supreme court overturns healthcare but then in 2012, alan grayson is re-elected to congress and we pass medicare for all, ladies and gentlemen! are you with me? >> i was hoping for something more intimate. >> stephanie: listen we'll talk privately. >> too many people listening? >> stephanie: and watching now, too on current tv. [ laughter ] >> all right. so keep your hands on the table then. >> stephanie: you've been so on point about healthcare. what do you think is going to happen at the supreme court? >> i don't know. i don't know. the funny thing is i actually work with two of them. the time when i was younger. i actually worked with judge scalia and judge ginsburg out of law school. i still don't know. it could go either way.

>> stephanie: you're an uber snob according to rick santorum. you have several harvard degrees, don't you? >> more and more each day. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: while you've been talking to me, you've gotten another degree from harvard. >> that's right. i don't know. but i do know that what they seem to be concentrating their fire on is the idea of the mandate and the mandate is not the essential part of the bill. the essential part of the bill is first to extend healthcare to almost every american and secondly, to make it affordable for everybody. and if they're going to take shots at the mandate and miss those targets, that's not that bad. >> stephanie: how does it work without the mandate, alan? >> it is very simple. in terms of extending the coverage, 15 million more americans get coverage by extending medicaid unless they prove that medicaid is unconstitutional 40 years after the fact. and secondly, the affordability credits extend the coverage to 15 million more americans and also give subsidies to everyone else up to the income level of

$88,000 a year. >> stephanie: yep. you know it is interesting when you were in congress, you've been dealing with with this every day the republicans you have to offset everything. it doesn't matter what it is. emergency, disaster relief, unemployment benefits. so aren't they being totally exposed now? they're saying you do not need to offset the cost of extending the bush tax the fight that's going on now. >> you could offset it by keeping obama care in place because obama care saves $100 billion. >> stephanie: oops. that's why you drive them crazy because you point out inconvenient facts like that. >> just the stuff they come up. i'm just the messenger. don't shoot me. it is within their second amendment rights but just don't to it. >> stephanie: it exposes their hypocrisy. that would totally erase any deficit reduction they can claim that they have achieved, doesn't it? >> i think we've covered every conceivable issue in what, 11

minutes or so. >> stephanie: i'm good. >> you're absolutely amazing. >> stephanie: it is like speed interview dating. [ laughter ] >> i pick you! >> aw! >> stephanie: i pick you! >> okay, we're done. >> date turned out to be a dream. >> stephanie: former and future, i love you. i'll take to you again real soon. >> bye. >> stephanie: make sure you get a few more degrees from harvard. >> what a snob. >> stephanie: exactly. barely stumbled his way through that interview. let's go real quick to tony in los angeles. hey, tony, welcome. >> caller: hi, stephanie. >> stephanie: hi, honey. go ahead. >> caller: they're just hating obama because they have no swagger. let's be real. that is the driest man i have ever seen in my life. >> stephanie: yeah. >> caller: like we always say, obama could walk on water and

they still would say he's too lazy to swim. you know it. >> stephanie: that's right. >> caller: have a good day girl. >> stephanie: love you toni. >> caller: love you, too.

i have the most common type of atrial fibrillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but my doctor put me on pradaxa instead to reduce my risk of stroke. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) reduced stroke risk 35% better than warfarin. and unlike warfarin, with pradaxa, there's no need for regular blood tests. that's really important to me.

pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take any planned medical or dental procedures and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa. we will not settle for easy answers.

[werewolf howling] >> stephanie: it is the sun devil stadium. 1-800-steph-12 the phone number. >> stephanie: hello, martin. >> caller: hi, steph. >> stephanie: go ahead. >> caller: i want to talk about mitt romney and romney care in massachusetts. romney and his boys weren't in some sort of think tank in the oval office. i've worked in the state house thinking this thing up. basically, it was a grassroots effort by many, many community groups that came up with it. and presented it to romney and in fact, some of the things like the employee mandate he was not crazy about but mitt, being a man of conviction, putting his middle finger in his mouth put

as high as he could and decided politically, this was a great thing to do. but he went along with romney care. he really didn't develop it. i don't think he should be getting that much credit. >> stephanie: by the way he took -- he was going to be the most pro-gay rights governor than ted kennedy and now -- he's lost his caddie was forced out. >> forced out by caddiier evangelicals. >> richard, his openly gay aide has resigned. >> he resigned on his first day. >> stephanie: oh yeah. you can't play in the reindeer games very long on the republican side. >> we won't let rudolph join in any reindeer games! >> stephanie: hired as mitt romney's foreign policy spokesman resigned suggesting the focus on his personal life on the gay had become a distraction. the romney campaign has hired richard grinnell who served as

george w. bush's spokesman two weeks ago but his brief tenure had been the subject of controversy only because -- controversial only because -- it is controversial to be a gay these days in the republican party. he was criticized for posting a series of crude twitter messages that he later deheated. i think we've all learned that twitter is forever. [ applause ] >> maybe he was trying to outrude the rude pundit. >> stephanie: he had attacked several women including hillary clinton, and newt gingrich's wife calista. meow! he reportedly came underfire from social conservatives for being gay. while he welcome the challenge to confront president obama's failed foreign policies -- weak leadership on the world stage my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues have been greatly diminished by hyperpartisan discussion of issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign. i want to thank governor romney

for his belief in me and his clear message that being openly gay was a nonissue for him and his team. [wa-wa] >> stephanie: again, he's been pushed so far in the right in this republican primary by the homophobes and others that there's no going back now. that's the problem. by the way the headline is santorum wants promises from romney before backing. he won't get behind romney. you don't want santorum that close behind you unless you're -- rick santorum wants to ensure the republicans policy platform represents conservatives' interest like gay bashing. newt gingrich wants help retiring his campaign debt. and probably a new account opened for calista. each wants assurance romney will deliver for them, neither rushing toward the task. ron paul will go that way. he's still in the race and hasn't recognized romney as the party's nominee. he probably hasn't poked his

head out of his cartoon suit. >> i'm not going to admit he's the nominee. >> mitt who? >> stephanie: lee in florida you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi lee. >> caller: hi. i just wanted to -- to bring up three real quick pieces of hipocracy in a sea of republican hipocracy. first is the guy who romney was standing by yesterday giuliani. a man who uses 9-11 in every other word that he spoke during the 2008 election. and next was mr. brown who votes against obama care yet has his 23-year-old daughter on his plan. >> stephanie: yep. >> caller: last but certainly not least is mr. alan west. last year when the congressional black caucus took their jobs on the road, mr. west sends his brother to the congressional-backed caucus job fair. a bunch of communists to find

him a job. i wanted to bring these three items up. >> stephanie: all right honey. thank you. i hear there are three groups gunning for -- clearly communist groups gunning for alan west's seat. in florida. kitty in california. hi kitty. >> caller: hi. how are you stephanie? >> stephanie: good, go ahead. >> caller: i go way back with you. i was one of your spotters for furniture for the first time when you were out in california and you were looking to furniture your first place. >> stephanie: wait a minute. you sell furniture? >> caller: no. she was the furniture spotter. on the freeway. a couch in lane four. i would call you right away. >> i remember when you used to do that. >> stephanie: wow. i have no memory of my own life. all right, go ahead. >> caller: i've been a steph-head forever. anyway, i have to tell you i'm one of your marinated salmons swimming upstream in a sea full of conservatives.

i got myself a sticker. i'm taking my chances backing out of the garage. >> stephanie: exactly. i've been there. been there done that. all right kitty. >> caller: kitty is my name the litter.

you know her from "saturday night live." hilarious character her impersonation of calista flockhart, her lover's skits with will ferrell. her sully and denise, the boston teen with jimmy fallon and the queen of depressing, debbie downer rachel dratch joins us now. good morning rachel. >> hi. >> stephanie: thanks so much for taking time for us. >> thank you guys. >> stephanie: hilarious book, girl walks into a bar. what a hilarious title. >> thank you. >> stephanie: the subtitle is comedy calamities and dating disasters. tell us what you're referring to. >> that's the whole book in a little phrase there. comedy calamities, i start out talking about showbiz and comedy and what it is like to be on snl. then after snl things kind of slowed down for me so then i started writing up these little stories that something funny would happen in my day. that's how the book came to be. then when i had all of this time

on my hands i'll do all of the things i didn't have time for when i was on the show. i tried to be better about dating and forced myself to go on dates. those are the dating disasters. i'm telling the book in 30 seconds. give up on the whole dating thing. eventually walk into a bar girl walks into a bar. and meets a guy who eventually becomes my baby daddy. i was almost 44 with this surprise pregnancy at 44. that's my life story in a nutshell. >> stephanie: wow. and seen. thanks for coming in. as they say at improv, seen. it is hilarious. i love the tolerating the usual well-meaning advice by married friends, it will happen when you're not looking. >> that's the phrase you hear from people that are in a nice relationship. it happens when you're not looking. exactly. >> stephanie: you are hilarious at recounting your

history of dating all of the wrong guys, the alcoholic the pothead, the sex addict though he wasn't addicted to sex with you. >> yeah, that was my dating history going in. so, i was trying to have my radar up to find a nice guy instead of my typical fare. >> stephanie: you have to -- you obviously talk in the book about the challenges of going through pregnancy childbirth, new parenthood while you were still in the courtship phase of this relationship. can i ask are you still with him or no? >> i am. that's what i thought would make the funny book because it was such a unique situation of having a baby with someone that you've been dating six months long distance. so the way we forged through every little step but how hard it is to go through pregnancy a newborn when you're married with someone you know really well and then here we were thrown into this together. so it definitely had some comic outcomes for sure. yeah, like trying to still be flirtatious when you're dealing

with breast pumps and all of that stuff is kind of a challenge. >> stephanie: can i ask what was the phone call like? >> oh, my god. i was still in so much shock myself when i learned i was pregnant. then i had to call him up and he was driving and i said call me back when you get home because i didn't want to have him drive off the road or something. at first, we were both just incredulous. he didn't really -- he just wanted me to take another test. we couldn't believe it. then when it was real, i think we were numb for about a month or so then we started, i don't know, trying to decide what was going to happen. >> stephanie: wow. >> i sort of told him because he lived in san francisco at the time. anyway, he ended up moving here because he didn't want to have a kid growing up across the country. so he's very involved as a dad. >> stephanie: now you're going to be on stage as a symbol of family values. >> we've moved forward.

family values, exactly. >> stephanie: you know, it is interesting. you talk about -- first of all god, you worked with everyone. stephen colbert, tina fey when you were coming up in improv. what is it like to work at that level with those kind of people? >> well, i started at second city in chicago. steven colbert and carell, they were all ahead of me. you knew they were so special even then. so you got to sort of watch and learn. i mention in the book like amy she was so funny. she was like this pretty little girl who would make her face do the most screwed up things. she was sort of a role model of mine. she wasn't afraid to look weird you know. and yeah, you kind of learn something, an amazing writer. she was so smart of course back then. and so you just kind of glean little tips and comedy tricks off of everyone you're around. >> stephanie: instead of ripping everyone off.

>> you all kind of raise the bar for each other. >> stephanie: oh sure. you're younger than i am. who isn't. but you had the same experience i did. watching snl. in your case, you were in fourth grade. you had all of the favorites i did, the cone head, rosanna danna, mr. bill, right? >> mm-hmm. yeah, i started watching the very first season and i was sort of hooked into it. i was like what is this crazy world? i knew it was something really special but i also knew half of the jokes were probably going over my head. i would watch it every saturday and mike my little sleepover friends watch it. they would fall asleep and i would stick it through every week. >> i was in high school but all of the same stuff. you said to your friends never mind. oh, no! >> yeah, yeah. >> stephanie: that was the language we spoke right? >> exactly. >> stephanie: so then you developed into the class clown in junior high. did four summers of theatre camp. is that like band camp?

>> yeah, pretty much. >> stephanie: yeah. then you headed to dartmouth. by the way, you had planned to become a psychologist. is that where debbie downer came from? >> maybe. i would have these fantasies but it was sort of in the same field. sort of discovering weirdos is probably the same as a comedienne. >> stephanie: you say dartmouth, a jewish girl from suburban boston, you felt out of place. i was about to encounter of species of humans i had never met, i speak of the wasp. >> dartmouth was chock-full of wasps. it is a little more diverse now. this is over 20 years ago. so yeah, it was kind of this society hadn't really encountered before. so i felt a little out of place. eventually i found the improv group there and that's when i kind of felt i had my little gang. >> stephanie: i share your hope as you say that your agent will call with something more interesting than the mutant

lesbian best friends part. >> those are the parts coming up the pike for me after snl. actually ironically enough, right when the book came out i got a part on an nbc show. so i'm waiting to see if it gets picked up. we shot the pilot already. after all of my lamenting sitting around, the job comes right when the book happens. >> stephanie: exactly. >> so, i might be on a show in the fall if it goes through. >> stephanie: how old is the baby? >> 20 months. >> congratulations. >> stephanie: how long do you have to count in months? >> i've always wondered. i used to hate when people say the month thing. i was about to say a little over a year and a half. >> i think at age two, you can stop at the month. >> just wanted to know. >> congratulations on that and we really are -- will be hoping and praying for the series because you're hilarious. the book is hilarious. girl walks into a bar. pick it up. thank you so much. >> stephanie: there she goes. how cute is she?

adorable. [ applause ] >> she is. >> stephanie: i like the boston sketch. dave in minneapolis you're on "the stephanie miller show." good morning dave. >> caller: i was going to tell you about a year ago right when obama was executed, killed, whatever word we're using today i was talking with two rather conservative people at work and -- about the whole event. one of them says well -- about obama's speech i really don't know if i like the way he kept saying i i did this, i did that. i said who did order it then? the guy from pizza hut or what? who ordered it. then the other one goes well, you know, who are we really to think we can go in and take one person's life? >> stephanie: please, the president is so mean. he assassinated him. >> i looked at her and i said as opposed to him -- bin laden taking 3,000 lives? what kind of -- economy do you work with here? and she looked at me and turned red and walked away.

i remember turning away, getting back to my desk and talking to a more liberal friend of mine. i'm convinced that dumb is the new black. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: bill in michigan. you're on the sun devil "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: i've got a couple of comments about romney. >> stephanie: romney, yes. >> caller: surprised i got through. i got cut off the last time called you. >> stephanie: sorry. >> caller: the call got dropped. neither here nor there. he made a few comments about killing bin laden. but i think the first lobbyist that waved a big fat check in his face, he would do whatever they told him to do. >> stephanie: that's what he said. it is not worth the money? it wasn't worth the money to kill bin laden? iraq and afghanistan were? and we still didn't get him with those wars? >> that's all that matters to

him. >> stephanie: 44 minutes after the hour. right back on "the stephanie miller show." wow! i don't believe it. this is too good to be real! of course this is real! >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show."

cheap shot, wasn't it? at carter. and so current by the way. >> caller: he almost called it an apology. when you elect -- you elect to wear a uniform and you vacation in france, while others do serve when duty calls, it is a cheap shot. >> stephanie: even david fromme, george bush's speechwriter said he needs new writers. that seemed petty. >> correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't carter like a nuclear physicist on a nuclear submarine? so carter's wicked smart. >> stephanie: like that's rocket science. >> i could have done that. >> stephanie: carol in florida ♪ wheel of right wing hypocrites ♪ >> caller: hi, there stephanie. kudos to current for doing a great service by allowing our voices to be heard! >> stephanie: thank you. >> caller: i want to say that i am a 76-year-old on medicare and

i want the same healthcare coverage as hypocrite scott brown and all of the other governors, senators, congressmen that our taxpayer money pays for. and that west is the freakiest man i know. i live in florida believe me, oh god! >> stephanie: scott brown this is the part that really chafes your butt, doesn't it? a tea party champion, great proponent of the president's healthcare act. he ran on it. his 23-year-old daughter is one of the americans who is benefitting -- his healthcare. >> that's true. and it hurts people like us when they start saying that they're going to do away with romney naturally gets in. with medicare. listen. we paid our dues. we've done it. why in the world do these young governors come out and think they can take advantage of the whole system? and they are taking advantage of the system. by allowing his daughter to be

on. that's the new law now you know with obama care. that's a good benefit. a terrific benefit for families with children in college and all of this. this is a terrific benefit. >> stephanie: the difference, carol is that if obama care is overturned, he's got means to insure his daughter. most people don't. most people, that's really helping their kids. >> they all have money. every one of them have enough money. this doesn't help the middle class or the poor. it does not. he's nothing but a hypocrite. he needs to be called on this and big-time! there are many, many more out there just like him. >> stephanie: a hippocrat as well which is worse than a hypocrite. dave in tennessee you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi dave. >> caller: good morning. >> stephanie: good morning. >> caller: i'm still loving your show. >> stephanie: thank you. >> was there a danger of you not loving the show? >> caller: i would like to make a comment on the retirement age that the republicans are wanting to raise you know. so bad.

okay. i'm 62 and i just retired. and what they don't seem to understand is you know, if you had a job that you could sit all day like they do and run their mouth, retiring at 70 would be okay. but i worked in a factory for -- until i retired. i worked in a factory for 30 some years. >> stephanie: yep. >> caller: by the time you get to 60 years old believe me, if you do labor every day which they don't understand -- like the autoworkers and everyone does, you know, that you're wore out when you hit 60 years old. >> stephanie: yeah, that's right. >> caller: it is people that are wore out that are in nursing homes now in their early 60s. >> stephanie: i hear you. mitt romney doesn't understand with his chick hands. he has rich guy chick hands. i hope he continues to like us. it seems we're on double secret probation or something. >> i still like you.

>> all right. >> stephanie: you know what? >> it could change. >> stephanie: a couple of retirees call in today. i'm guessing my people are my funs. drunkenly tote granddaughters in a hot wheels car behind their suv. nobody was hurt. >> a little fun was had. >> the best worst grandparents of all-time took their grabbed daughter on a joyride. paul and belinda used dog leashes to tie her hot wheels car to their suv and proceeded to drive her wrong. paul was drunk driving without a license because he had it revoked ten years ago. belinda was riding in the cargo area with the rear hatch open cheering the child on. they told the deputy they knew it was dangerous but it was fun and they had been doing it all day. >> and drinking all day apparently.
