in anyone who's gay? >> if you're gay and breathing. >> anyone who isn't exactly like them is an activist. >> stephanie: i'm inactively gay. we have a constitution that says marriage is between one man and one woman. if he's taking a oath, he han has to hold and uphold that as a judge. if haase lifestyle is contrary to that, i don't see how he can do that. >> contrary to what? >> stephanie: last night, the virginia house of delegates fell 18 votes short effectively killing his opportunity to become a judge. [ applause ] >> stephanie: i don't think it is proper to put his name forward because of his behavior as if he's an unruly toddler of some kind. so that happened. okay. all right. and we finish right wing world with steve hayes. >> people who are inside of it are just now talking to one another to try to understand the different parts actually did that caused the problem. and yet you hear from washington immediately calls for tighter regulations. it is not even clear that this would have been prevented by the

regulations cabinet and fully implemented. it is a typical washington response. it may not yet -- >> stephanie: no. it is not even a problem. no rules at all. >> stephanie: less regulation. >> don't listen to what i'm saying, just listen to how i'm saying it. be relaxed while i talk. >> stephanie: james in minneapolis. you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi james. >> caller: good morning, how are you? >> stephanie: good. go ahead. >> caller: my question is first of all, a thought. to people of color in this country who think that the president did the wrong thing by speaking out against discrimination. as a 65-year-old black man living in america, i know what discrimination is. and i know what it feels like. it is not good. what i wanted to ask when they say that government doesn't create jobs, it would be

interesting to know what dick lugar would get in retirement plus his healthcare plan that we the taxpayers are going to pay. and it would also be interesting to know what was he worth when he went into congress and what is his net worth now. because i'm thinking being in the senate, that's big money. that's the job to have. >> stephanie: he was the one reasonable republican that would probably agree with you on many issues. by the way chuck hangel, the latest reasonable republican to talk about how [cuckoo clock] this party has become. it started with danforth in missouri said his party was becoming increasingly inconsequential following the defeat of dick lugar. he said reagan wouldn't identify with this party as a streak of

intolerance and the republican party that scares people. ronald reagan was never driven by ideological. he wanted limited government but he used it many times and he would work with the other party now. he talks about it just -- republican party is having difficulty facing up to the fact if you look at what happened during the first eight years of the century, it was under republican direction. republican leadership got us into this mess. thank you. ♪ let's hear it for the boy ♪ ♪ let's give the boy a hand ♪ >> stephanie: he said the same thing we've said. they wouldn't have nixon or eisenhower. >> they wouldn't have him. >> stephanie: by the way the obama campaign not mincing their tweets. he tweeted yesterday i'll stop blaming bush when mitt romney wants to stop returning to his failed policies. they also tweeted about romney, load up a steel mill with debt bankrupt and walk away with millions. [ applause ] the president on the view

talking. >> the central thing is the economy. america continues to be this extraordinary land of opportunity. >> stephanie: did you see him on the view? handsome, romantic funny charming. just saying. he just is. >> he's not a labrador. [ laughter ] >> come on! >> stephanie: speaking of labradors on your roof. mitt romney. >> president obama tucked away the clinton doctrine in his large drawer of discredit ideas along with transparency and bipartisanship. it is enough to make you wonder if it was a personal beef with the clintons but it probably runs much deeper than that. >> stephanie: thank you for your pop psychology. they run this play every time. the clinton -- they secretly hate each other. and by the way, if you want -- people play that clip of hillary clinton's endorsement of him after the primary. that was a full endorsement. that was a sincere endorsement. you look at -- up until yesterday, george w. bush before the elevator closes.

>> i guess he'll do. whatever. >> whatever. >> stephanie: everyone in your party loves your nominee. >> if obama had a beef with the clintons, i don't think hillary clinton would be his secretary of state. just a thing. >> stephanie: hack in oklahoma you're on "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: hey, stephanie. talking about the debt ceiling. when we were downgraded, i think the only agency that downgraded us was standard and poor. very same standard and poor who thought mortgage-backed securities were a safe bet. >> stephanie: yeah yeah. exactly. by the way so boehner getting ready to do it again. >> what i'm trying to do here is use the debt ceiling as an action-forcing event to force the process here to deliver more change than what it would produce on its own. >> stephanie: the change being getting president obama out of the white house. getting mittens there. >> that's the whole point.

get out of the white house. [drunken voice] >> stephanie: you can explain it this whole thing with. this headline. the right wants more from boehner. >> they don't like the job he's doing. they want bolder, more aggressive leadership from the boehner. >> more orange leadership. >> yes. >> more orange. >> the boehner from yesterday. >> the next two years could be the most sequential two years than we have seen in the last 50 or 60 years. it is a line in the sand because washington has kinged the can down the road, kicked the can down the road and the american people think we're crazy. >> they think you're crazy. >> stephanie: you're the can they're going to kick down the road. >> the right wants more from boehner. passing the budget is a start but it is hardly enough. republicans should be touting their proposed overhaul of medicare and medicaid.

>> passing more bills to show their plan to deal with the nation's crumbling entitlement system is more responsible than obama's. we want to play to win. >> stephanie: conservatives privately griping about having to vote an extension of student loan rates. they don't want to have to do anything for anybody other than their top 1%. >> you earn it! >> stephanie: jay carney the president's press secretary. >> many americans are still understandably anxious about the economy that we have and about where it's going for them personally and where it is going nationally. >> stephanie: you wouldn't like harry reid when he's angry. >> republicans can grandstand all they want. the fact is any agreement to avoid the fiscal cliff facing us at the end of this year must not

gut programs that support the middle class. >> i'm sorry to be behaving like this. i'm enraged right now. >> only congress of course can act to raise the debt limit. we hope they do it this time without the drama and the pain and the damage they caused the country last july. >> stephanie: hmm. speaking of drama, the ron paul campaign. i love this. chance of winning the nomination, they want to bring a large active delegation. they're active to the republican national convention promoting fears of an ugly confrontation with mainstream g.o.p.ars a scenario the paul campaign wants to avoid. >> like chicago and 68. >> stephanie: insist voters show respect. we're emphasizing decorum because when you think of ron paul fans, you think of decorum.

>> that's what i think. we're going to do everything in our power to work with our supporters to make sure that decor emand respect are the name of the game. >> do what you want. you're free. >> yes. >> fire departments that's crazy. >> stephanie: paul has been in touch with -- aren't they anarchist -- you act polite at the convention! paul has been in touch with the romney campaign to discuss platform issues and says the former governor has been helpful. if romney talked to him, he was doing that crazy thing. sure, ron, yeah, i hear what you're saying. woo. as for paul supporting romney, spokesperson said it is not likely. no. >> not going to do it. >> that's the only fun we have to looked for to is the crazy uncle liberty fans.

>> russell will not be funny before whereas before he was hilarious. look, i'm british and i'm tall. >> stephanie: he reportedly -- he axed her from her follower list a week after he e-mailed her asking for a second chance. i'm guessing the answer was no. i'll show you. you're off my twitter! unfriend, missy. take that! >> stephanie: so 8th grade isn't it? defriend that person. >> he dissed a girl and he liked it. >> she still has more than 20 million followers to keep her warm. i think she'll be okay. [ applause ] >> she'll soldier on. >> kiss a girl. it will be better. >> jay-z in other hip-hop news. i have never lived down the news of day i started a sentence like that. >> in other hip-hop news, jay-z is supporting gay marriage. he claims discrimination against a gay person is the same as a

black person. jay is arguably the most powerful person in hip-hop. said president obama's decision was the right thing to do. he said i've always thought it was something still holding the country back, what people do in their own homes is their own business. it is no different than discriminating against blacks. it is discrimination pure and simple. [ applause ] >> as far as celebrities go, jay-z is greater than manny packio. >> who gets punched in the head for a living. >> i never thought i would give elisabeth hasselbeck an okay. but she's -- she said i have a major problem with bristol palin saying you will mature as a mother. will you find out the conversations you have will change the way you put opinions on the table. how dare you then bring in sasha and malia to the situation. you need to mature because are you not. ha ha. nanner nanner boo-boo.

>> hasselbeck is one of the young republicans like margaret hoover who is actually really forward-thinking on gay rights. they're the future of the republican party so there is a little bit of hope for them. >> stephanie: i said earlier i didn't read this part of bristol palin's original quote. sometimes dads lead they're families in the right way of thinking. it would have been nice if the president had been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of reflecting what teenagers think after one too many episodes of glee. [oh, my god. >> should have instructed them to hate gay people. >> obama has been much more of a leader than president -- than palin has ever been. she quit halfway through her term. >> stephanie: who cares what some failed vice presidential candidate's daughter -- >> you know what those people are like. >> stephanie: proven once again i'm doing the wrong kind of talk show hosting and we're doing the wrong kind of comedy. ryan seacrest buys ellen
