♪ holiday, celebrate ♪ ♪ holiday ♪ ♪ celebrate ♪ >> stephanie: it is "the stephanie miller show." 22 minutes after the hour. the day to recall scott walker is june 5th. not tomorrow. jacki schechner reminds "the stephanie miller show" to remind people it is june 5th. >> absentee voting has started today. steph in madison real quick. >> caller: i don't know. a few debbie downers calling in from wisconsin. i'm a happeny clapy recall wanker girl. on june 5th when we vote, we're going to vote liar, liar your pants are constantly on fire and then he's going to need a firefighter.
7:20 am
they will be working for him. >> oh, steph. just calling to talk. >> stephanie: eric boehlert in the sidecar to continue right-wing world. sean hannity on the democrats -- >> i don't understand -- >> anything. >> for the life of me, how the president can say republicans their plan is dirty air and water. paul ryan can be seen as a look alike throwing grandma in a wheelchair over a cliff to die. that's not -- you know, ugly. that's not dividing the country. you know, now, on the other hand the issue has nothing to do with race. what's offensive about jeremiah wright has nothing to do with the color of his skin. it has to do with the content of his sermons. >> stephanie: see what he did there. he paraphrased m.l.k. >> caller: very clever it is interesting. hannity and others are so desperate to portray obama as this nasty campaigner. i must have missed the ad or the
7:21 am
brochure that have romney being supposedly pushing people over a cliff. >> stephanie: i'm sure media matters is researching when the president said paul ryan would throw your grandmother off a cliff in a wheelchair. >> he doesn't say anything like that. but you know, no matter what he says, they sort of conjure up this radical, exaggerated version. in hannity's eyes, obama is the dirtiest campaigner ever. if you listen to his rhetoric, it is calm and civil. it is amazing they've created this caricature. they'll do anything to prop it up. >> stephanie: karl rove on fox news sunday. >> frankly trying to dredge up jeremiah wright, right or wrong after this issue was litigated four years ago by john mccain deciding not to litigate it. was stupid. so you want to try to do things that are helpful not hurtful. and look i thought it was very smart for the romney campaign to go out and denounce the tactic. >> i think they just called sean hannity stupid. >> and right. this is what we just talked
7:22 am
about. karl rove and people who have run national campaigns who know where the votes are. know the electoral math. they realize this is all a disaster. it is great for clicks. it is great for -- right wing talk radio. it is great for fox news and their three million fans and it generates this frenzy within that pretty small community but in terms of a national election, this stuff is a total loser. and like i said earlier, karl rove and the other people in the "establishment" are powerless. they created this noise machine and now they can't turn it off. >> stephanie: i'm sure sean would realize he was calling him stupid if he wasn't -- never mind. okay. oh geraldo rivera doubling down on the trayvon martin case. >> i think what's far more significant is what trayvon martin looked like that night bill. >> we're looking at the surveillance when he's buying his candy.
7:23 am
he's got a dark hoody on. what is the significance of that? >> aside from the fact that he's dressed in that thug wear, look at the size of him. he's not a little kid. he's 6'2", a strapping youngster. he looks -- trayvon martin looks just like the people who had been burglarizing and victimizing that neighborhood for the last six months. >> stephanie: oh please. oh, please. he looked like a kid in a hoody is what he looked like. >> but of course they don't want to try this case in the media. >> stephanie: of course not. >> they're just going to look at surveillance video and conjure up these dark, menacing images. the right after the story broke o'reilly and everyone else at fox demanded this story not be tried in the press. except they were going to do that for the next -- >> stephanie: eric, i think the only thing that's come out is the lead police investigators wanted to charge zimmerman with manslaughter. he said the encounter was
7:24 am
avoidable. if zimmerman had waited in his vehicle and waited for the arrival of law enforcement -- that's really the crux of it. >> yeah. that pretty much sums it up. the right wing went crazy because you know, there was some autopsy report, medical report. they claimed trayvon had these injuries. it turns out he had an abrasion on his knuckle. none of that is relevant. the fact is that investigators are looking at it, it could have been avoided. that's the whole point. that was the whole point of the controversy. honestly, the controversy isn't whether the trial -- will he be guilty or innocent. this entire story was created because no one was ever charged with a crime. >> stephanie: eric, you've been so good today. i want to offer. >> bonus. normally, we do a recorded white white -- we do a right wing world. >> caller: i appreciate your show because at least do you take calls from people.
7:25 am
>> stephanie: you're on with media matters with eric boehlert. >> caller: that's awesome because they don't have the balls to take a phone call on saturday. >> stephanie: maybe they're not working on saturday. >> caller: they just -- a little three hour monologue that's all political hack and they don't let anybody challenge them because really they don't have anything to say. we model our show after rush limbaugh's network. >> exactly. >> caller: that's fine. ba but then you say you do take calls but you don't take calls. rush takes calls. are your takes calls from left wing people all the time. >> stephanie: here's what media matters says. they're an organization that documents what the right wing says. they put the actual transcript, the actual audio -- in context. >> stephanie: that's what they do. >> caller: just like he did with the paul ryan thing about pushing grandma off the cliff. >> stephanie: who said that paul ryan is going to push grandma off a cliff in a wheelchair? did president obama say that? >> obama doesn't need to say
7:26 am
that. that's what he's got you for. >> stephanie: all right. thanks billy. oops. there you are. >> paul ryan is going to -- >> i hung up on everybody my mistake. see, this is exactly what they're -- see, obama like i'm working with the obama white house. that's what they're saying like it is my job to say he's pushing -- like i ever said paul ryan is pushing the grandmother in the wheelchair. all right. wow. that had to be harrowing for eric boehlert to hear that in person. that's what we deal with every day. >> they do take calls on that show. on sirius x.m. so billy kind of lied there. >> so unusual. >> stephanie: he's usually so coherent. 29 minutes after the hour. comedienne extraordinaire carol leifer joins us next on "the stephanie miller show."

7:36 am
them to me and i'm donating all of the proceeds to two of my favorite animal rescues. so facebook message me if you're interested in these tickets because they're going to go quick! >> stephanie: they'll be crazy. that's awesome. you sent me my favorite christmas card of anybody. you and your partner, 75 dogs in bed. how many dogs do you have? >> well, currently five. one of our rescues passed away a couple of weeks ago. our guy. but we have five. and we're always looking -- >> stephanie: that's a little pull try for you. >> we're big animal rescue people. i mean i just -- love dogs. >> stephanie: me, too. i don't mean to one up you. i have two but they both weigh 1,000 pounds so i have a lot of poundage. >> stephanie: two great pyrenees from gentle giants rescue. here's where i can top you. my picture is on the bag in the
7:37 am
supermarket. >> hey, that's nothing to sniff at. nothing to pant over. >> stephanie: that's right. >> that's really great. >> stephanie: lots of stuff going on politically right? in this political year. the president is coming out for marriage equality. >> how great is that? >> stephanie: even though you sort of knew he would get there it was like one of those tear jerky like a sitting president of the united states. >> i know. when i heard about it, you know, i had always felt like he's for marriage equality, he just can't do it politically then he did it politically which i think is amazing. i don't know if you've talked about it on your show but i feel badly all of the polls i've seen, people seem to be saying they don't buy -- i buy that he did it from a really good evolved place. exactly what he's saying. people are skeptical. he did it for political reasons. because it will only -- it only could hurt him. >> stephanie: that's what i'm saying, the polls so far let's knock on wood, that's a
7:38 am
knee-jerk thing but the polls show exactly what he said. this could hurt me in some place. because in this country, it is always tight elections. always 50/50. that's why it took such real political courage. i agree with you that i hope -- i hope we're all as involved as i think we are. >> yeah. talking about that his daughters go to school with a lot of kids who have gay parents. i'm in that situation. our son goes to school and you know, when you -- i think the turn in anybody's evolution is you have gay friends and you have gay family members. it becomes really clear to you why would you treat us gay people like second class citizens when we're just like you. >> stephanie: i think any kind of bigotry is taut. if you tell a kid oh, you know, our next door neighbor's carol and lorie and the kids are like okay. can we watch cartoons?
7:39 am
until you tell them there's something bad about it, they don't -- >> they do -- >> the crazy dog ladies? oh, cool! [ laughter ] >> well, you know, our son is so used to having so many dogs, we dropped him off for a playdate and our friend were proud to tell us they have three rescue dogs but they told us when we dropped him off and he saw the three dogs, he said where are the rest of your dogs? >> what's wrong with you people? >> hello! [ laughter ] >> stephanie: you and your partner and son are coming to my memorial day weekend party. i put it in the invitation, even you totally unnatural gays with kids, according to mitt romney. >> i'm so glad you said that because sunday is family day. now that you're allowing our child to come, that's fantastic. he will be there with his wristband and everything. >> please bring a pack of dogs with you as well. let's go to brit in phoenix. you're on with carol leifer.

okay. this is what i want to say about hrc. it is important -- i wrote many letters -- you call it a love call if you wanted to but i want to be a -- i don't want to be a part of the crowd. i want to be a part of the path. >> stephanie: yeah. >> caller: what that means is i'm not a gay person but that doesn't mean i don't care. >> stephanie: good for you. >> caller: i really do care because you know what? what today's politic is talking about is you can be a part of the one group that singles everybody out. that's the big bully on the block. or you could be a part of everybody else that feels like they're weak and trodden. >> stephanie: you made me go from gay to questioning. all right. look at us hollywood do-gooders we're in animal rescue, hrc. >> it is fantastic. >> stephanie: you've gotten your pro-choice charity in my project. stop it. >> that's right.
7:42 am
it is interesting. i love hrc. i've been to many of their fund-raisers and i support them. this is where politics gets dicey. we were once invited to an event for bob casey who very, very gay friendly -- >> stephanie: democrat. >> but anti-choice. i just said to my gay brethren there like yeah for casey with his gay stances but i'm not giving one penny to a guy who's anti-choice. i feel badly. >> stephanie: it is an important time for everything but i mean i almost can't believe, can you, some of these laws that are passing the transvaginal probes -- it is the most anti-woman era that i can remember since i've been alive and talking about politics. literally, you feel like have i woken up in 1952. >> it's true. it's so true. what i can't believe is why are the politicians who are the most

7:44 am
>>liberal and proud of it. if you have copd like i do you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd.
