i was literally having a conversation last night with a friend of mine, and who was like i'm so glad it is getting overturned, and i'm shocked. >> really? why don't you like it? >> because i don't know the problem with healthcare is quality. i think it's the cost. this is way too complicated of thing to do on a sound bite -- >> right. >> but, you know i was against it from the beginning, and this is actually in our book michael and i -- the biggest -- this and the wars in iraq and afghanistan were the biggest issues that michael and i literally cannot find common ground whatsoever. >> obviously your dad, john mccain, it is interesting -- and this book is fascinating.

you have heard what a lot of the liberals have been saying was this was bob dole's healthcare plan. what do you think has happened to the republican party that people are so upset now about it? >> i -- i just think it is not the quality of health care that is the problem in america. i just think the cost is. anyone with five brain cells knows that healthcare needs reforming in america. but i don't think you can force somebody to buy something in america. >> all right. michael your thoughts? >> i didn't really care so much about the law itself. what i care about is how do we make sure that everybody has a basic level of -- a basic level of health insurance or more importantly basic access to health care, and the mechanism by which that hand, it doesn't matter to me, but because it happens with this law, i'm

thrilled. >> right. guys let's talk about this book. what a day to be talking about this on one of these issues that has become so partisan you went across the country to see if you could find common ground to talk to people that you disagree with across the country. tell us what that was like? >> it was amazing. it was amazing to travel coast-to-coast. every time i do it, it reinvigorated my patriotism because you see how beautiful and brood the country is. and you meet the most wonderful people who have amazing stories, and -- and they are so welcoming and gracious, and it reinvigorated my patriotism every time i do it. >> i love all of the stories in here, you discuss feminism in

the workplace, with a rocker trucker mom, and exotic dancers -- >> yes we do. >> what was your most surprising experience. >> michael and i seem to be disappointed that we didn't convert each other to each other's side. but that wasn't the point of the book. and what surprised me is when i went into this project i just assumed, i'm open-minded, i'm the cool moderate republican and michael really showed me that when we would meet new people and they would talk about how much they loved obama and last election was the first election they were inspired to do anything. and i was prejudging people and really not giving those people much of a chance to go forward on their views which surprised me that i was still doing that. and it took me going on the road

with michael that in a lot of times i was prejudging people which is a bad quality, i have since tried to fix. >> you raise a good point. my dad ran with goldwater in 64 so i come from a republican family as well. and whether it's marriage equality or whatever issue it's meeting and/or loving other human being that may not have your views that hopefully brings us closer together. don't you think? >> yeah i totally agree. i'm surprised that i'm still doing that, because i do value people with open minds and people are going to see the other side and try to compromise. and it was this whole weird thing that somehow i'm more patriotic than michael because my brothers are in the military and i wear american flag and

one thing i saw is michael loves america just as much as i do. a lot of liberals do they are just not as i guess flamboyant as i am. >> michael what do you have to say for yourself you marksist? >> meghan loves america like a crack addict loves crack. [ laughter ] >> can't we just all get along? what was your conclusion? >> let's say sure. but it's going to take change on everybody's part. it's going to take -- i think it's fundamental because what i think we're lacking is a way to even talk about politics to have the conversation, and to me that starts at a very early age. i never learned anything about politics in school.

i never learned anything about the way my government actually works in school. i guess i'm sort of advocating increased education in just basic civics. >> yeah. megan part of it i think is generational, don't you? for instance when are you bringing your dad around on marriage equality? >> i had a book party on tuesday night, and a friend of mine interviewed my dad, and he said your father you must have changed your mind a little bit? and i was like i don't think i have at all, and then i rewatched the interview, and in the interview he says i respect the fact that meghan is of a completely different generation, and she is speaking for her generation, and you can't deny that. which was one of the coolest things my father has ever said about me. and i don't know if i'm changing his mind because of the fact that he would publicly say that

this generation grew up in a different time and feel differently about their gay friends, almost made me cry. >> yeah, well you are a daddy's girl like me. [ laughter ] >> the coolest thing he said to me was -- now who are you again? [ laughter ] >> and why are you hanging around my daughter? meghan, the pentagon just had their first gay pride -- not parade, but celebration. this is such a turn around from a year ago, and your dad was very outspoken about not overturning don't ask, don't tell. has he changed his mind about that? >> i don't know about that. but i have two brothers in the military. and my little brother was deployed twice. and he is like if you were going to go on a fire fight with me in iraq i don't care what you do when you get home. and they should have the same

rights i do. and i take a lot of hope knowing that my friends in the military and my brothers in the military agee with me. so i have a lot more hope for younger people than older people. >> all right. it's "america, you sexy bitch: a love letter to freedom," and you have lots of book signings coming up, and just terrific stuff. thanks for taking time for us this morning. >> thank you so much. >> all right. off that go.

i think we cannot lance armstrong this, and by that i mean spike the ball. i think it's -- it's a perceived victory, but the war has been waged averaging since obama was elected, so we have got to -- when i say we i mean the nation has to be cautious the forces are going to mass once again to obstruct, thwart and stop democracy. >> the talking points are being written as we speak. >> absolutely. but there is not much remedy at this point. >> except now it is to be referred to as a tax. and that's a push-button phrase -- word rather that gets people going, and allows people to kind of walk in lock step and unify, and that's what the right does brilliantly. >> you are right on that. >> the supreme court has upheld

the individual mandate, ensuring millions of americans have access to insurance. and it found that it does not violate the commerce cause. medicaid is limited but not invalidated. is a little bit surprising for court watchers chief justice john roberts joined in the 5-4 decision, just as anthony kennedy cited with the conservatives. kennedy wrote in our view the entire act before us is invalid in its entirety. i don't know what this means for, for instance, marriage equality, because kennedy was always considered the swing vote. >> yeah. >> reading tea leaves again. >> i know. i cannot help it. >> but this is the type of thing that might give roberts the cred

they have concentrated on -- you know, being against women and the pour and gays -- >> yeah. and that's the other thing is women would have to pay more for insurance. that's the other thing in the act. women don't have to pay more for insurance. it's really incredible. >> buddy in columbus. you are on the "stephanie miller show." >> good morning, momma, mocks, steven, jacki. i think there is a civil reason why they upheld this and that was all across this country, people were required by law to have auto insurance, and i think roberts realized if you strike this down then someone is going to say hey i don't have to pay my auto insurance. >> that's the point i have been raising forever. i don't get how people started losing it over this -- explain how it is different. same reason, right?

personal responsibility. >> right. >> but if obama said we want car insurance -- >> then they would be against it. >> that's right. >> if obama made them get car insurance you would have to buy it from kenya and bay it in russian rubles or something. >> yeah. car insurance is state by state, this crosses state lines. and that's why they had to rule on it. >> right. jack in tucson you are on the "stephanie miller show." hi, jack. >> hi, steph how are you doing? >> good, go ahead. >> i'm calling you from that little blue speck in arizona. >> yes. >> you handled that awesomely.

implementation, so they are going to have to get in their horse in 2013 and put their insurance exchange together. and congress is going to have to put the finishing touch on this whole thing. we lost a whole year because of the fact that this has been going on, and we'll have to run and catch up. we'll get it done but it was unnecessary to create the anxiety that many people had. if you have a 26 year old kid, or under 26 year old kid who has a problem, and have been on your insurance and to think i'm going to have to take them off of my insurance, or my lifetime limit is being reached with my cancer treatment, people were afraid what this was going to do to them both physically and economically. >> right. well, i -- absolutely. i mean or the -- can you imagine people with a preexisting condition sitting there this morning, thinking am

i going to lose my health insurance and then maybe my house and everything else. it really -- i really do feel like it is a victory but i have to say i feel it's a victory for the american people to all of the people i have heard from over this year we have been talking about this. >> yeah. it is the first time -- and we have been trying since 1935 to get this done, when we were on the road to giving people economic security around their health. people have been asking for this -- franklin delano roosevelt talked about it -- everybody talked about it. and now it has finally gotten done. and the court said it is all right the way you did it. the fact is, we got it started, and that means we can keep working on it to really make it work for the american people. >> we talked about this before

whether it's civil rights or social security that it was strengthened over time. and isn't this what we said that this was a huge achievement, and we can strengthen it as we go forward, can't we? >> absolutely. giving options to states to do their own plan. there are a whole lot of other things that can be done now that we have a framework agreed to. now we're putting in the lighting and the countertops and painting the walls and putting in the flooring. we're really finishing the house of health in this next congress. >> talk about what was actually ruled on the mandate, because i found it really interesting. i'm just a layperson. you know didn't they essentially accomplish something

legislatively that you wouldn't have been able to politically because as soon as they call it a tax -- >> i think sarah palin came out of the bushes and yelled i told them it was a tax! if we would have made at it tax issue, we would have never gotten it anywhere. so we made it an individual mandate, and made it that you could get out of it if you would pay this penalty. we didn't call it a tax. and we did everything possible to get it in place, and let the court then say, well really this is just a tax issue, because it really is money we're going to spend one way or another, and this is how we're going to collect it and spend it, and i -- i think that you are right. the guys that put this together figured out a way around that tax issue, which is everybody is scared of no new taxes. >> right. >> in fact they want the

benefit, and i think people will be glad of what this will cost. >> well, again, it's just evidence of how far right the republican party has gone because you couldn't even call it a mandate which was a conservative idea. >> yeah. >> so it just -- i -- you know, i think -- like i say a victory for the american people, but boy that was hard fought wasn't it? >> it sure was, and i think it will be interesting to watch mr. romney begin to be a dancer -- >> i'm looking forward -- >> that was the devil that made me do it in massachusetts. when i'm president, i won't do that. >> dancing with the mandate stars, i can't wait.

we dedicate today's rules to neil in madison. who writes i screamed tears of joy, my work has severe fibromyalgia, the stress of not knowing if we could ever qualify for insurance has been a huge relief. thank you. [ applause ] >> i got it done entirely by myself. >> someone of facebook just said, brace yourselves everyone on facebook is about to become a constitutional scholar. [ applause ] >> good morning, david. >> good morning, stephanie. >> good morning, and yippykia mother [ censor bleep ]. >> we were here and at 10:15 we

got the word that it had been upheld and then chief just advertise roberts had written the decision. and there was this huge cheer that went up. on the other side apparently cnn got the decision wrong. >> thank you. >> so you had people supporting you know, the -- they hated the affordable care act, they started cheering and for two or three minutes, cnn was saying the supreme court has invalidated the entire law, and we're saying, no the corticaled it constitutional, but what the hell is going on over there? because we knew we had it right. >> yes. >> remarkable day. >> yeah we had cnn on. that's exactly what happened, david. what happened do you think? you were there? because everybody got it wrong, cnn, msnbc, and fox. >> and that's why it is good for

all of us who are not part of the main stream media. but the chief justice agreed with the first section the contention of the violation of the interstate commerce clause. but then there are three other constitutional issues that had to be decided, and in order for the law to be rejected they would have to rule basically four different ways that the law could have been upheld and the chief justice said the interstate commerce thing -- it's a violation of interstate commerce, then he went into the issue of whether congress has the power to levy taxes, and then he said they do. and once they found that was constitutional, the rest didn't matter because he said there is a constitutional basis for this therefore if you don't like the law, the liberals are correct this is constitutional. so i think everybody was looking at the first bit of the opinion and roberts saying there was

something wrong with the interstate commerce and then they went off to the races, and our people had it right. >> yeah, no -- jacki schechner -- we -- we got the news -- i'm the run doing the show in a baseball cap here. there's not much of a budget and we got it right. literally all three networks got it wrong. i'm reading here where speaker boehner sent out the memo no spiking the ball. they were pretty confident they were going to win. >> oh, yeah. they were preparing for a victory party. and if somebody would have said chief justice john roberts is going to write the opinion, you would have said oh, my god, they are going to strike this thing down. and i think he didn't want to be the leader -- the roberts court

the one that rejected major social policy that several different presidents have tried and failed to pass. >> yeah. >> i don't think roberts wanted that legacy. >> and it may have occurred to him that scalia is a bit of a lunatic. >> yeah, and the constitutional question is not a difficult one here. one person on the right saw this for what it is. if you would have asked any expect years ago, 98% would say this law is constitutional. >> all right. david i know you have to go and we're going to live to mitt romney speaking. >> they certainly -- >> set in front of the capitol. >> obamacare is a job killer. >> for-god's take really! >> three-quarters of those surveyed by the chamber of commerce says obamacare makes it less likely for them to hire people.

>> what? >> and it puts the federal government between you and your doctor? >> no, it doesn't. >> what did you do in massachusetts, buddy? >> it is important for us to repeal and replace obamacare? >> with what? >> what are some things that must be kept in place for a real reform. one people who want to keep their current insurance will be able to do so. >> check. that's happening now. >> up to that number of people lose their insurance they want is simply unacceptable. number 2 -- >> oh, my god, same talking points. >> people with preexisting conditions know they will be able to be insured. >> that's in there. >> we also have to ensure that we do our very best to help each state to ensure that every american has access to affordable health care. helping lower the cost of healthcare and health insurance -- >> that was always my idea.

>> -- becoming prohibitive exsensitive. this is now a time for the american people to make a choice, to choose whether you want a larger and larger government, separating you and your doctor whether you are comfortable with more deficits -- it will lower the deficit -- >> awe! >> how -- how is he able to -- >> okay. i can't -- i anymore. steven weber. >> he is not talking about the provision of putting patients on top of an ambulance.
