♪ hour number two. hump days with hal sparks. jacki, we feel bad. we can't bring a jingle every hour. i feel like now i need to bring you a bottle of wine. >> we'll work on it. >> we're spitballing. >> it is like a brainstorm session. >> absolutely. >> stephanie: we've got two musicians in here. we'll just be doing a little scat intro. >> jacki! jacki schechner. all right. you know what? why don't we just get to the news.

>> sorry. real news. >> stephanie: we're in a big prehealthcare ruling frenzy. jacki schechner is on it like a leopard. >> warming up my protractor and my compass my abacus. >> stephanie: here she is. >> we'll talk about healthcare reform. obviously tomorrow we'll get some sort of ruling from the supreme court. an abc news "washington post" poll out this morning asks people about both the affordable care act and the status quo and it is probably no surprise to you that both are unpopular. 39% of people don't like -- only 39% of people like the system the way it is. but here's what's tricky for any kind of reform. 75% of people say that they like the quality of care they get now and they're afraid of losing it. if the court does say that the mandate is unconstitutional tomorrow which is one of the options, rest assured the rest of reform can survive without it. there are other ways to get people into the pool and to spread the risk. business week and npr are two of the outlets taking a look at the alternatives for the mandate.

they say we can give people a tax incentive for buying health insurance, kind of like a mandate but in reverse. we could leave it up to the states to develop their own mandates which would not be subjected to supreme court review or we could go back to something that we had in the house version of the affordable care act which was a slight surcharge on the wealthiest to help make insurance more affordable for everybody else. keep in mind tomorrow when the insurance companies scream bloody murder, people don't buy insurance because they choose not to. they mostly choose not to because it is not affordable. >> in other news, we want to give you this little tidbit today. the aclu has decided it wants to represent the kkk in georgia that applied to adopt the highway and was rejected. the international keystone knights of the kkk filed a petition with the georgia department of transportation to adopt a portion of the highway. almost 25,000 people signed a petition on change.org against it. originally the department of transportation rejected it. now the aclu wants to take the

case. go figure. back with more after the break. in >> he caved on the public option, he caved on the bush tax cuts, the guy has caved so many times there are miners trapped inside of him.

campaign said medicare for all was the right solution in 2009. it is right solution now. it is ultimate -- which our nation will arrive. the only question is whether democratic leaders are strategic enough to start the process of marching through the door as it opens. if the supreme court is so political that it overturns affordable care despite clear legal precedent it would call for outrage but it would blow the door open to medicare for all. the march would be a marathon, not a sprint but an absurd ruling, for democrats to start marching. if the supreme court opens the door for democrats to campaign on medicare for all and republicans are left campaigning on paul ryan's plan to end medicare the clean contrast could be a game change they're gives them a clean sweep in november. >> he said all of that? >> oh, no, that's seth green.

win. jan brewer and others when it is clearly, on any legal front, it was an almost total victory for the president and the white house. >> that's absolutely true. there has been an unwillingness to provide any kind of benefits to the young population of students who are excelling in school who want to stay here, who know no other world but this world. we have every right and frankly every responsibility to make sure that they can continue to succeed. >> stephanie: so you've obviously been such an amazing advocate for healthcare. clearly we're here. tomorrow will be the big ruling. what is your prediction first of all? >> well, my prediction is that they're going to hold the individual mandate is not constitutional. i find that almost unbelievable because when you have so much of the gross domestic product engaged in healthcare, how can

you say it is not a part of interstate commerce. it absolutely is. this is an effort by a political supreme court to continue to support the interests of republicans by promoting citizens united, by the montana decision making it even clearer and by taking away healthcare for so many millions upon millions of americans who have already enjoyed some of the benefits. >> stephanie: you're preoutraged.

>> i actually agree with you. over time, i don't think it will come any time soon. once you take the individual mandate out of the affordable care act, all of the other benefits that are propped up by having this individual mandate that extends the net and includes so many more people, so many more healthy people that you can in fact, include the benefits for people who aren't healthy and the preventive care for people who are, all of that falls by the wayside. premiums are going to start to escalate again. they have been tapped so much -- somewhat by the fact that 85% of the premium dollar has to go to healthcare. all of that will happen. i think at some point, the american people will realize medicare for all is really the answer. i don't think it was message right early on if we had come out saying medicare for all, i don't think we would be here. >> stephanie: i totally agree with you. representative speier, of some your colleagues have said they think you could work around not having the mandate. but you were not of that mind.

>> no, i think realistically you cannot fund the other elements. the preventive services in which people do not have to pay a co-pay the senior citizens who 32 million have benefitted from that. others some 54 million have benefit. all of those cost money. the co-pays for like a colonoscopy are like $400 to $600. you cannot continue to provide the service if you don't have a large pool from which to be able to provide healthcare to all and also be able to cover the very sick and those who are more healthy. so i think over time it just will fall. as a result. >> stephanie: representative he speier decision about -- eric holder in contempt of congress. that was just a pipe dream of mine. wishful thinking. i misspoke. >> you're reading his wife's

thoughts. >> stephanie: sorry. congresswoman, i just -- you know this, of course unprecedented. you know, clearly just a political charade. what is going to happen with this, do you think? >> what will happen is frankly nothing. for us to spend hundreds and hundreds of hours both on the committee staff and in the department of justice pulling all of these documents 6700 pages of documents that have been provided and to have this effort on the house floor unprecedented, it will probably succeed because it will run along party lines. and then it will fit. they're now suggesting that maybe they're going to take -- bring a civil action in court to define whether or not the executive privilege assertion that was made is appropriate. but you know, this is all about the political sandbox where you know if you're not throwing sand, you're not succeeding and

unfortunately, i do think the american people see through this and i think that at some point we've got to stop this kind of activity. >> stephanie: excuse me. in terms of producing evidence, you know, steny hoyer challenged darrell issa that linked the gun program to an effort by the administration to press new guan laws which is darrell issa's little conspiracy theory as he mentioned on fox news. he said he has evidence of that and of course, has not produced it. >> well and you know what's very interesting about this. first of all he speaks out of both sides of his mouth. on the sunday shows he said he has no evidence that the president knew about this fast and furious. and yet on monday, he sends a letter to the president basically suggesting that he had knowledge because why then would he assert executive privilege? executive privilege has been asserted by president bush, his own attorney general casey said

at the time that executive privilege extends to documents within the departments of your administration. so this is all about trying to embarrass the president by bringing this contempt action against attorney general holder and it is important to note that the nra is scoring this vote. >> stephanie: i was just going to say. >> if you don't think this has everything to do with the nra i've got some news for you. >> loose guns to sell you? >> stephanie: this is the part that made me the sickest. steny hoyer signaled some democrats could join with republicans in holding holder in contempt because of pressure from the nra. >> you know, that will probably be the case. because the nra is scoring it and because we don't have -- you know, steel spines in each of our backs that may in fact, be the case. but it should not be lost on anyone that the gun walking that's going on in arizona right

now is going on whether fast and furious is going on or not. and this effort was undertaken by the george bush administration, with wide receiver. they all have the macho names which i find interesting. the whole effort by -- chairman isa is fast and foolish. i think people will tell him that. >> stephanie: good one. when we take back democratic majorities in control can you promise me you'll hold a hearing, eric kantor in contempt? >> i can't promise you that. i need evidence. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: i'll get you some. i'll have more than darrell issa does on this thing. representative jackie speier from the great state of california, thank you so much, representative.

kind of amazes me quite frankly is how these billionaires can be throwing millions of dollars at romney's super pacs but they didn't want to pay a little bit more in taxes to help people? >> a good portion of a lot of these guys' income, including the guy who probably called in and if he doesn't he should be ashame of himself every bank overs it. you get investment income when you're pulling in that kind of money. when you've got 250 employees you're investing money and that money you're making, you're only paying 15% on period. >> stephanie: sheldon adelson can afford $100 million to defeat president obama. >> he can drop every dime spent on this election out of his own pocket and never miss it. >> thanks to chinese money. >> stephanie: 45 minutes after the hour. back with the remaining moments of hump days with hal on "the stephanie miller show." >> hey a freak show!

[ applause ] >> we salute you. >> stephanie: we do. speaking of which how exciting is this. we were talking about -- shush eric kantor, the polling showing him vulnerable in his district in virginia. running against him speaking of heroes is colonel wayne powell, right? powell for v.a..com is his web site. hello, good morning, wayne. >> good morning, stephanie. how are you doing? >> stephanie: thank you so much for calling. >> thanks for mentioning my name. one of my friends call and said they mentioned your name on "the stephanie miller show." i figured i would call in. >> stephanie: that's awesome. you're a colonel correct?

>> i retired in 2002. u.s.a. united states army retired. >> stephanie: 30 years right? >> thank you for your service. >> thank you for thanking me. actually, i'm more concerned about my son who is now in afghanistan. second tour. one tour in iraq and now he's in afghanistan. as a father of course, that's all i think about these days. >> stephanie: i don't blame you. colonel, so were you surprised by this polling really showing vulnerabilities for eric kantor. i'm glad you called because one of the things is you're not widely known yet. >> i'm not. that's probably the biggest detriment so far in the campaign because as i meet people and appear before groups, i'm being well received by both republicans and independents and democrats but i wasn't surprised by the polling because i live here in the seventh district and all my life, i was born and raised in churchill and highland park which are not known as the high socioeconomic parts of town. i'm native of richmond. >> stephanie: my niece and her

husband live in richmond. and my sister and my brother-in-law live in lynchburg, virginia. >> tell them to give us a call. >> stephanie: i will. >> i need volunteers. >> stephanie: exactly. colonel, interesting though. i think that -- what did i read? like 43% to 41% are open to replacing kantor. >> that's true. >> stephanie: you must be encouraged by those numbers. >> i am. of course, my big challenge now is to get -- to be honest, to get money to get my name out there. you know the drill. i've gotten earned media of course with you right now. as a lawyer, i represented pro bono the ladies who arrested back on march 3rd when they were protesting the transvaginal legislation that governor mcdonnell was proposing here in virginia. and the ultrasound legislation. so i represented the ladies. i went down there after they were arrested. i was so appalled by what i

witnessed that i just told them i would represent them and of course they weren't all women. a lot of them men defended their rights. that got me some media and of course they of course announced when my nomination was secured and so forth. otherwise, as you know, you've gotta -- when you're facing people like crossroads, gps, all of those -- >> dark-minded groups. >> stephanie: thank you for your service also in the war against women then. i didn't even know that. >> that's what i believe. i'm doing more than what i've done in my legal career. i believe in social equality and economic fairness. in this country right now, both are threatened. >> stephanie: yeah. absolutely. as you say, it is not just women, anyone against state-sponsored rape essentially. >> that's what we call it. that's what i consider it. >> stephanie: absolutely. colonel, interesting in the polling, too vast majority of people want someone that will work with obama and the white house, not against everything as eric kantor has done.

do you sense that mood on the ground when you're there in virginia? >> i do. i think that people are tired of nothing happening. and there's room to compromise on all sides. we have a serious deficit and serious debt that needs to be dealt with. we need to talk about it and we need to plan. as you mentioned my 30-year history with the military, i was commander in ten of the 30 years and before we performed any kind of exercise or operation and after i was mobilized following 9-11 and went to washington with my anti-terrorist intelligence production group, we had to have a plan, an operational plan, after action reports, we had to deal with sometimes mediate with the active duty forces. of course, i was an active duty reservist. that's what you have to do to defend this country, correct the deficit and correct all of the things that are wrong. there are many things wrong but i'm an optimist. when i go to congress and i am going to go to congress, i'm going to talk with people whom i

may not agree. but we can work it out. it is for you and all of the americans in this country and the 7th district who has not had a representative for the last 12 years with eric kantor. >> stephanie: wow what an awesome candidate we have! this is really exciting. >> on facebook, the page is waynepowell for congress. >> and powell for va.com. >> i hope he wipes that smirk off eric kantor's bitch face. >> be nice if he decides he wants to debate me because as my strategist mudcat saunders said, we would like to sit down and chat about things. >> he won't debate you? >> he doesn't want to appear with me. >> interesting. >> he knows what people will see. >> an actual conversation about actual issues as opposed -- >> he would rather do it in sound bytes in d.c. >> stephanie: colonel, you consider yourself a moderate democrat right? >> well, i consider myself first and foremost an american and people have these labels they

put on you and i don't know, i believe in equality and we've already talked about that for women's rights as well as lgbt and you know i don't think the constitution says well, everybody's equal except for these people that are 3/5 of the people meaning black people. it means everybody. that's what we aspire to. a better union. that's what it says in the first few words of the constitution. >> stephanie: colonel, you had me at hello and you complete me and i want you to come back on the show. we're out of time for today. we'll have you back again. we're so thrilled you called us. it is powell for va.com. thank you so much, colonel. >> thank you. >> stephanie: there you go! wow!
