large majority supported background checks. 64% of republicans believe president obama is hiding important information about his background in early life. >> come on. >> stephanie: seriously, it is like the g.o.p. is a bunch of whore mongers driven sill he will by syphilis. they would rather scrawl filthy manifestoes against obamacare and howl at the moon and call it genius. that's what we're dealing with. >> we're dealing with just insanity. you know, that's all -- the nra convention was. it was just a series of crazy people getting up there and ranting to crazy people, you know. used to be the kind of stuff that you would see -- you would say okay, that's a cult and those are scary cult people right there. >> stephanie: right. between glenn beck and sarah palin and you think it is fringe except, like you said, you know, whatever that is, just helped defeat a background check that 90% of americans want. >> i do have to share with you. want to hear my favorite quote from the nra convention?

representative steve stockman, did you hear this one? >> crazy guy from east texas. he's the one that invited ted futurent to the state of the union. so he's quality quality guy. he said in his speech to the convention, he was comparing the obama going for gun control laws versus clinton and he said we all saw how bill clinton abused his power as president back then but barack obama blows him out of the water. >> stephanie: hmm. i get it. [ bleep ] joke. awesome. how current. >> yeah. i just thought that was brilliant, you know. sort of like an ann countier column where she -- coulter where she mentions kennedy and and -- >> stephanie: 42% of americans don't know the status of the affordable care act. some think it has been

overturned by the supreme court. 59% of people who make under $30,000 a year or the very people that affordable care act would help, don't know it is still the law of the land. you say we're so very [ bleep ] because americans are so [ bleep ] dumb. especially the americans amonging to one political party. it is terrifying to read this polling. >> more people want armed revolution than understand the affordable care act. it's just -- it's depressing and i think that's what was on display this weekend at the nra convention. not to try to put everything in a tidy bundle but it was just like here's our id coming out and here's everything that we're terrified about. can we please go squat in our ditches with our guns and just wait for our chance to revolt. >> stephanie: yep. you wrote a great piece which is a great point. this is my point about what drives the news cycle and why. you say fear the chemical

plants, not the terrorists. we talked about the texas thing that happened unfortunately in the very same week. you gotta think the owners of fertilizer and other people like the koch brothers were relieved that the explosion happened just a couple of days after the boston marathon bombings. they had to go nuts over terrorism because the saga of the tsarnaevs consumed the story of a neighborhood wrecked which killed five times as many people as the pressure cooker bombs. we talked about the massive failure of regulation this was right? >> not only that but then it came out this weekend do you know how much liability insurance the company had? >> stephanie: no. >> it had $1 million in liability insurance. >> stephanie: wow. >> yeah. there was somebody who wrote in and said i'm part of a traveling orchestra and we have to have $2 to $3 million in liability insurance but a fertilizer plant

next to a town because of all of the corporation harming anti-business regulation only had to have a million dollars in liability insurance. >> right next to a nursing home. >> stephanie: and a school. you say the town was failed by multiple governmental agencies. insidious use of industry money like koch brothers that watered down regulation and enforcement. you say you know, we talked about this. the fact the plant had 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that blows up that was reportable to the dhs to report it is safe and secure. that's a crime far more important to the well-being of americans and a crime that ought to be punished by the lawsuits being filed. >> stephanie: more importantly, you go to the point of how this could happen again. >> yeah. i live up here, you know. every day i see all of the plants that are lining new jersey. and think any one of those could

>> stephanie: they do stuff like that. this have to talk to jacki about this. south carolina house passes nullification bill to make obamacare a crime. those are your mark sanford voters. they passed a nullification that declares president obama's healthcare law to be null and void and criminalizes, ladies and gentlemen its implementation. it is a viable alternative to says session. i guess those were their two choices because they claim the state has authority over the tenth amendment. constitutional -- what's the word i'm looking for? scholars, end to disagree. to say the tenth amendment gives states sovereignty is reading way too much into the text. >> they tested that in 1865. >> see how well that worked out for them. >> stephanie: south carolina nikki haley says we won't pursue the changes being forced on us

you should reject these voices. >> congress is back in session this week and it is planning to tack beel immigration, internet tax and overtime pay. the senate judiciary committee will start marking up the bipartisan proposal but committee chairman patrick leahy may rock the vote when he introduces an amendment that would afford same-sex couples the same green card advantages to heterosexual couples. they'll discuss whether or not private employers can offer hourly workers time off and the senate will work on online retailers having to collect sales tax. we're back after the break.

>> stephanie: exactly. glenn beck on the list of speakers at the nra this week. >> it is not just the democrats. it's the republicans as well. the problems are everywhere. >> stephanie: oh. he's talking about a couple of reasons republicans voted for background checks. the enemy is everywhere. everywhere now. by the way, eric boehlert is coming up at the bottom of the hour. glenn beck has two competing conspiracy theories. he's put out both of them. they completely contradict each other. >> glenn beck is contradicting himself? what? i feel dirty. i want to cry in an empty bathtub, nude, shaking with the water off just as the camera pans up and away which it would have to do really. you can't really focus on a thing like that. >> stephanie: no. thank you for that, rick overton. >> glenn beck is brilliant at making any real conspiracy look nuts because it is all on the same burning vote on everything he's saying.

he's a fine, fine performer. >> not as good as jeff beck. >> stephanie: oh. eric is here. i totally forgot. eric is here now. thank you, eric boehlert from media matters for america doing the lord's work as usual. ♪ hurts so good ♪ ♪ come on, baby ♪ hurt so good ♪ >> stephanie: let's dive into the right-wing world. i don't know what that means. eric boehlert from media matters who we love. i'm sorry eric, i was momentarily cheating on with you another brilliant man. sorry. yeah. really incredible this weekend. the nra. you tweeted great stuff. wow, beck at gun nut hashtag comparing -- comparing to martin luther king. irony lost on them. >> beck went with the we shall overcome because gun owners like minorities in america, are facing perilous you know,

freedom. they're under attack for freedom. so, of course, you know, when you talk about guns and m.l.k. on twitter and elsewhere, the about a rang comes back. he owned a gun. he owned a gun. the government denied him you know, the right to carry a gun which i think is accurate. so they're saying like if m.l.k. had a right to a gun he wouldn't have been assassinated. he would have been on the balcony with a gun he would have spun around shot his assassin. >> through the wall. >> just like robert kennedy would have had his gun at the hotel in l.a. it doesn't make any sense. >> the civil rights -- >> tick -- particularly gruesome to be quoting the guy who was gunned down and comparing your movement to his. >> so they're suggesting civil rights should have been armed? >> a quote about that last

winter. limbaugh -- >> guns versus hoses. >> saying if representative lewis, john lewis had a gun at the edmond pettus bridge in mobile, the movement would have looked different because rush limbaugh thinks it would have been a good idea if civil rights marchers had opened fire on alabama policemen. >> stephanie: that would have ended well for everybody. >> it is just simply firearms sales. could this be anymore obviously -- he doesn't care who buys them as long as everyone is. >> stephanie: yep. exactly. >> and the billions keep coming for firearms company. absolutely. >> stephanie: the important issue, as you point out benghazi. seriously, we're going to have our eighth, ninth benghazi hearing because someone agrees with what the administration had said. one of the blockbuster benghazi whistle-blowers testified about benghazi last year.

>> you know, this was the quote whistle-blower who was quote silenced by the state department to testify in public last october. worst silencing ever. >> here's a microphone. >> here's a tv camera. here is a congressional hearing. you know. it is going to be -- you know, it is just going to be an awful week. fox is going live with its watergate coverage. to cbs's credit, they call them so-called whistle-blowers which is probably about right. basically, the premise of this entire hearing is we have three people in the state department who disagree with what the state department has said about the benghazi attack. that is it. we have no proof of wrongdoing. we have no cover-up. we have no -- they disagree. therefore, we're going to spend taxpayer's dollars on having another round of hearings because someone in washington disagrees with the state department. that's the premise. i'm not kidding. this is where we are. >> stephanie: as you tweeted

yesterday, wait, what? the dow's crossed 15,000 yesterday? obama's second term is doomed. in a related story i'm sure when "meet the press" debates obama's 100 days on sunday, they'll mention 330,000 new jobs created in february, right? sadly, you were wrong once again. >> i'm always wrong when it comes to "meet the press." i always set the bar too high. there was a drumbeat late last week about i think it came in the wake of the press conference he had. and everyone maureen dowd and dana milbank came away, obama doesn't have -- jonathan karl questioned it. do you have any juice for the second term? it will be just like bush. the wheels are falling off. as i pointed out a couple of days ago his approval rating on may 1st, 2013 is the same as it was on may 1 2012, the same as it was on may 1 2011, the

same as it was on may 1 2010. his approval rating has been the same for four years. the dow is over 15,000. he's averaging 200,000 new jobs per month in a second term and the press wants to talk about how this is all falling apart and what happened to obama. you have to really be committed to that narrative. >> stephanie: i need to have you on speed dial during "meet the press" from now on because i just -- did you notice that yesterday, like the premise of david gregory's questions are -- he did some softball to rudy giuliani which already -- the premise is obama administration bad, right? >> gregory definitely used -- >> am i right or am i right? >> stephanie: the president more kenyan or socialist? >> how big of a failure is the president? >> he asks, republican, is obama a lame duck? where he's coming from that, i guess it's because you know, he couldn't get the gun bill passed even though what that should lead to is constant roundtable

discussions of how freaking crazy is the g.o.p.? but instead it's why can't obama get these radical obstructionists to vote for him? >> stephanie: yeah. i swear to god, i feel like the theme of every "meet the press" is why is the president leading by not leading enough or leading too much or -- literally, they had -- >> that's a pretty leading -- your honor, that's leading the witness. >> stephanie: some republican congressman on. of course the president didn't do enough at the right time in syria. he should have done -- yes. >> and the leading thing is basically, it all comes down to why can't obama change the republican's radical behavior? and whether it is sequester whether it's gun -- you know, fill in the blank. that is the premise that we've been dealing with for five years. why can't obama change the other parties? >> stephanie: i think the question to rudy giuliani was something, eric, along the lines tying together benghazi and the

boston bombing president's failure to -- the failure to lead. what do you think rudy giuliani is going to say? let me tee this up for you. >> keeps walking up to its parents, the kid who is the monster in the mall, why aren't you a better parent to me? how they confront the democrats. they are the source of the problem and then they say why didn't you rein me in better? >> president obama retroactively cause 9-11? >> fox has been trying to tie in benefit benghazi and boston and as i pointed out last week, at some time, you turn on fox news, you would think we have no idea who did the boston bombing. you would think they're on the run. you wouldn't think one of them is dead and one is behind bars. you think this whole thing had been completely botched from beginning to end instead of congratulating law enforcement on one of the most efficient manhunts. >> stephanie: that was my

second head explosion during "meet the press." [ explosion ] the widening plot in boston. two dufuses that hit a backpack? that's not a widening al-qaeda plot. >> some other dufuses. >> stephanie: two stoners stoners who hid the backpack. >> it was a gaggle of dufi. >> stephanie: may favorite piece, beck now mired in boston conspiracies. saudi arabia involved in attack yet the saudis tried to warn the u.s. about the bomber. >> again, you know, beck contradicting himself is not exactly breaking news. this was -- literally within 90 seconds. it was two like massive you know iceberg collisions of conspiracy theories. one is, you know, beck went all in on this awful conspiracy smear of the saudi national student who, oh by the way got burned from the explosion. it was 150 other people. he's in his hospital room and the "new york post" and glenn

beck suddenly decide he's the suspect. he's in custody. glenn beck said he's absolutely involved. calls him a dirt bag. meanwhile, law enforcement is, you know, ten times this guy is not involved, we're not interested. good luck. we hope you recover. he's been pushing the saudi arabia conspiracy theory for ten days. late last week, remember, the daily mail, they uncorked this conspiracy theory that saudi arabia had actually warned the obama administration about the boston bomber and oh, my god, the state department and homeland security bungled this. we need to impeach obama. within 90 seconds beck says saudi arabia's involved in the bombing. oh, by the way saudi arabia tried to warn us about the boston bombing. >> stephanie: eric, i think you missed the point. either way, the president should be impeached. [ laughter ] either in cahoots with saudi arabia or he was ignoring their warnings. either way.

he's got to go. >> stephanie: because he won't lead. or he's stopped leading by leading too much. eric boehlert, spectacular stuff as usual. see you next week. there he goes. love me some eric boehlert. [ applause ] why won't he get out of the way by leading. okay. 20 minutes -- >> underestimating. >> stephanie: exactly. 20 minutes after the hour. back with more with comedian rick overton live in studio on "the stephanie miller show." >> announcer: it's not radio. it's "the stephanie miller show." you would rather deal with ahmadinejad than me. >>absolutely. >> and so would mitt romney.

was swimming pools. that's what the gun nut was yelling at me. swimming pools kill more. as jim says, swimming pools were not designed to kill people nor were cars. >> well, if you jump in and there's no water in the pool, then yes. >> you can see why the desperation has teams of people scrambling with yellow pads written out lists of responses that you might be able to hit back with and they're ripping divots of hair out with the abject failure of each. >> stephanie: that was her response to the tragic story of the 5-year-old whose parents bought him a rifle and he shot his 2-year-old sister to death and they market these guns for -- his rifle. >> pink. pink and blue and kid colors. candy like bubblegum colors. >> stephanie: exactly. jim porter, the guy we were talking about. he's the new nra president. this guy. >> that guy. >> you know, obama is plotting

with the who's of who the gun ban movement. >> stephanie: oh okay. >> plotting. >> stephanie: right. here he is again. >> president obama demanded that his followers extract revenge. and revenge is what is motivating the president's unrelenting attacks on gun owners. >> you mean exact revenge. that's the wrong verb. not extracting. you're a moron. >> stephanie: thirdly. >> you are an idiot ha, ha, ha, ha ha, ha. >> who is it that attacked fort sumter? it was the south. >> stephanie: would you like the fun facts about jim porter? a lawyer from alabama. he told a crowd once he likes to refer to the civil war as the war of northern aggression and has called barack obama a fake president whose entire administration is anti-freedom. >> huh? >> stephanie: he added the nra remains vital today to train civilians to use firearms so

when they're ready to fight tyranny, they're ready to do it. also when they're ready to fight tyranny, they have the wherewithal and the weapons to do it. >> camera that can watch your infrared signals moving around under the roof of your home. they can see you so they can pinpoint which room to hit. all your assault rifle will do is validate the well, i think we gotta use the other equipment we've spent all this money on. if you're all firing -- battling over short rounds and long rounds is what this battle is about. because no one's talking about your short rounds, your 9 mills your 45s your 44s, all of that. you get to shoot that. they're talking about a bullet that goes through the bad guy into your neighbor and then ricochets off them into their kid. a bullet that just keeps going. and if you're not shooting a deer, they're talking about the speed at which you load another one of the bullets in behind the one you just shot.

that's technically a lot of the battle. find out who it is pulling the trigger. those are the core elemental things being sought here. if you're resisting that part and some of us are gun owners and saying this. and i have no problem with this stuff going on right now. to not have that part. it is like -- you're a like a car owner that says take out all of the red lights and the green lights and i'm just going to gas and go at every intersection. >> stephanie: seatbelt law cell phone laws, regulations. >> do these people realize taking up arms against your own government isn't patriotism? it is treason. >> stephanie: there is a law against driving drunk but you can use a gun drunk. there is no law that regulates alcohol and firearms. historically such a grand combination. >> stop swaying. >> oh, now there's two of them. >> stephanie: the important thing is did glenn beck cry at

>> caller: it does. >> you lost a lot of weight. >> stephanie: kept your girlish figure. >> caller: disgusting. i noticed a couple of things that are indicative of the election period and that is when there is a small audience, there are no cameras that are set from the presenter's perspective or from the stage. it is always set toward the stage. at the convention. the nra convention. and when there was an applause for as large as a national convention as that should be, the audience -- the applause wasn't that robust. so, to me, if there would have been a huge gathering of thousands and thousands of people, they would have had a camera showing that audience. to show how big they look. >> stephanie: i can explain that. they don't want you to see that there are no black people.

endanger their children, not just buy guns, okay. that's been -- proven over and over and over and over again. so i have two wishes. one that we could do a challenge. one day that doesn't mention any political party. >> stephanie: my goodness. the gauntlet has been thrown. >> caller: that's my challenge. also if we could discuss you know, the concept of stupid parents. >> stephanie: i agree. by the way i think i said that. i don't think -- i think that's why 90% of americans are for background checks. i don't think it is a partisan issue, do you? i don't think -- you know, to me, i don't see where that's a controversial issue or a partisan issue to say you're a dope for buying your 5-year-old a rifle. really? and you know -- >> not a very healthy parenting move. >> stephanie: yeah. that's exactly what i said. not only buying it -- >> 2-year-old had a rifle to

lead the charge to take the fight against healthcare reform all the way to the supreme court. it was pretty extraordinary that he made this turnaround and it was likely a political calculation to try to stop his hemorrhaging poll numbers. while at the same time we notice that scott's change of heart still needed republican state legislature approval in order to pass and that's why he could say he was for it and at the same time, no, he would never have to accept it. that's exactly now what has happened. the florida state legislature wrapped up friday without passing a budget that includes the medicaid money. unless democrats convince the g.o.p. majority to call a special session, there are 1.3 million floridians who aren't going to have access to the healthcare coverage they would have under affordable care act. in international news, israel has not officially confirmed or denied it launched air strikes on syrian military targets on friday and then again yesterday but it has long said it would go after any transfer of weapons to hezbollah or other

terrorist groups in lebanon that may threaten israel's security. medical sources say 42 syrian soldiers are killed rather and another 100 are missing. iran says it is prepared to train the syrian army to respond. the israeli defense force says on its web site, there are no wins over war. we're back after the break. stay with us. >> if you believe in state's rights but still support the drug war you must be high. >> "viewpoint" digs deep into the issues of the day. >> do you think that there is any chance we'll see this president even say the words "carbon tax"? >> with an open mind... >> has the time finally come for real immigration reform? >> ...and a distinctly satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned "great leadership" so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter). >> watch the show. >> only on current tv.

satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned "great leadership" so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter). >> watch the show. >> only on current tv. >> it's hard, jagged and tastes like alcohol. >> just like kissing -- >> stephanie miller. >> stephanie: 34 minutes after the hour. 1-800-steph-12 the phone number toll free from anywhere. fun with gun nuts. welcome to it. rick overton speaks gun. be careful if you call today. he just put in a new clip. >> if you got it all sorted out

i'm all for it. if you got it worked out and did you the paperwork and they looked at it and looked at you. >> responsible gun owner right here. >> we should form an organization called the responsible gun owners of america. give people who are worried about how crazy the other people is going a place to jump so you still have a group. >> stephanie: mary in tennessee, you're on "the stephanie miller show" with rick. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> stephanie: good morning. go ahead. >> caller: first of all, that curtis guy was a real -- oh, my god. how do they miss -- >> he's got a -- >> stephanie: he was a little slow to reload. >> caller: we are responsible gun owners here. but i don't know. these people are off the wall. i agree -- >> there are lots of us, aren't there? >> caller: i agree with chris. these nra snake peddlers sound like they're preaching -- they're talking treason. >> stephanie: wayne lapierrre was close to that.

>> something you're not supposed to call for. >> caller: what the heck is going on? there is another movie. >> stephanie: thank you. our list of movies. hannibal and snatch. wayne lapierrre speaking this weekend at the nra convention. >> the nra will go the distance. no matter what it takes not one single inch. >> he goes from saying we'll go the distance to not one single inch. >> we'll go the distance but not that direction. >> but i'll be sitting right here. >> another contradiction. >> the distance is from my table to my chair. >> stephanie: tom in texas. hi tom. >> caller: good morning, ms. miller. >> caller: good morning. >> caller: we won't make this political. mr. perry was over in houston getting his gift from wayne his

responsible elders back here in austin regulation that they're going to allow marshals in schools. they're going to allow college students to carry weapons in class. and any further regulation by the federal government will not be constitutional in the state of texas because it will violate their state constitution. >> stephanie: gray disputes just got a lot more exciting. >> caller: i gotta love these guys. i have a friend who took down a hog with one 30-round caliber. if this guy needs an ar-15 to take out the hogs on this farm, then call in a nuke. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: you need a shoulder-fired missile. >> hog stinger. right there on the spot. >> stephanie: it is a barbecue.

>> no need to dig a pit. >> you're talking about a round that really has a very specific purpose as a rule. it doesn't take down big game. but it goes very straight to the first thing hits then tumbles and spins and hits off in random directions from there. so great for using in a crowd. >> stephanie: walter in virginia. you're on "the stephanie miller show" with rick. hi walter. >> caller: the thing that got me is i don't know what the heck wayne lapierrre was talking about that everyone in boston wishes they had a gun like two weeks ago. the thing that's so stupid about that is they had the s.w.a.t. teams going house to house so if you actually had a gun in your house, pointing it at them, they would have probably blown you away. >> stephanie: you would be dead now. that's what you want when a city is in panic. you want more people armed to the teeth and panicky. >> caller: the other thing is about that kid the little kid that shot the 2-year-old sister,

why the hell are guns being marketed toward kids? that is really stupid. >> stephanie: look at the web site. >> bubblegum color. >> population control, i guess. >> caller: the thing that's really stuped by that is i heard someone talking about this today. what happens if that kid gets sent to his room and now he gets pissed. turns around and blows his family away. what the hell are they doing? >> stephanie: somebody made that point. this is a parenting issue. think about this kid the 5-year-old growing up. how screwed up is he going to be? >> oh, my god. >> if only the 2-year-old had a gun, too then they both would be dead and yea. >> growing up knowing the story and the whole town talks about that forever. >> stephanie: yeah exactly. richard in l.a., you're on with rick. hello, richard. >> caller: how you doing steph? >> stephanie: good. go ahead. >> caller: you know, the guy a

few minutes ago that kept going back to shall not be infringed shall not be infringed obviously has no clue to the history of gunpowder and weaponry. ever since the chinese discovered gunpowder way back when any advancements in the use of gunpowder have always been mill temporarily advanced. any hunting usage or secondary ways of using firearms have always been as a result of the advances that the militaries have made in weaponries for conquering and killing. guns have never really had a purpose other than conquering and killing in their inception. and to rick's point you know, i don't have any military-style assault weapons at home but i do have a mossberg model 590 with eight rounds in the tube and a .40 caliber handgun with a laser sight. >> i think your home is safe, man. it is for home purposes, you

want ammo that doesn't go through and hit a neighbor. you really, really, really want to think about. that's not something you want to address later. that's something you want to address well in advance. it's flattening, broad wide ammo. soft. one target. one target at a time ammo. >> it is all about -- you know, everything is purposely made. >> that's right. >> stephanie: richard this goes to your point. that's what a lot of people that are experts whether it is what general mcchrystal talked about. they don't have all of the time in the world to train people. it is to kill the most amount of people as quickly as possible. because it sprays everywhere. >> you're aiming at the enemy. that's a bunch of people. you're supposed to shoot all over the place to do that. it is not what civilian population should be thinking in terms of. >> stephanie: by the way, it comes as no surprise apparently some on the right probably don't want the story reported.

journalists get beat up and reported after going to kentucky town to report on guns. reporters covering horrific deaths in the town in kentucky was rejected by the town, some of whom were threatened with violence. >> smart move. >> not just threatening a regular person, you're threatening someone who will run and tell planet earth what you did. >> stephanie: he details his travels to the town rocked by the accidental death of a 2-year-old. i guess accidental but not an accident the parents decided to give a 5-year-old a gift of a rifle. >> heartbreaking. >> a death of 2-year-old girl shot by her 5-year-old brother. the gun was a gift. blah, blah blah. the nra hate stories. hate to ruin the nra convention with stories like this. >> unbelievable. just a little kid. >> stephanie: richard in chicago on the gun debate. >> caller: hi. i was suppose toad do research on the gun bill and i'm trying but it seems like there were multiple bills voted on before

the registration or the background check bill came up. and one of the things i could find that was kind of not good was that if you leave your gun -- if your gun is in the house and there is a baby-sitter in the house someone is over at the house, that could be seen as an illegal transfer of a firearm. that's some weirdness in that. i was wondering to compromise -- >> stephanie: if you keep your guns locked up like a responsible gun owner, how would a baby-sitter get your gun? >> caller: regulation around that. i'm doing the work. >> stephanie: go ahead. all right. >> caller: background checks and compromise. you're sitting across the table from like you, stephanie who says i would take away every gun if i could, how do you compromise with somebody who is totalitarian? >> stephanie: richard, i was joking. fortunately for you, i will never be in charge of anything.

i'm not a gun fan. obviously rick can speak -- he's a gun owner. i am not. >> if it is a totalitarian, you would have found out already. you would know that already. you would be gone already. i would be on the totalitarian list for sure. i am totalitarianism do not get along. you and i happen to agree there. now, to think that -- in whatever abundance you have will be thrown back whatever you have is unrealistic. there is a sonic panel they use that blows up your eardrums and makes your skin crackle and burn. that's its lowest setting. you can go to bacon on there. they can crank it up. if you keep firing 223s at them they'll go well, bring out the panels. will you give them perfect cue to escalate. there's no way. >> stephanie: the actual setting. >> it will be like war of the worlds. >> stephanie: the actual setting is bacon?

>> caller: if i could have a moment. i totally agree with your guest here about certain firearms. i personally don't own an ar. the 223 round, you can't even hunt deer with that. >> it is too small for a deer. >> that's my point. >> caller: i do have a handgun and a shotgun just like your other caller. i also have -- they're little bullets that turn into dust basically when they impact something hard. >> good, man. good. good for you. >> caller: the nra has for years, for decades upon decades upon decades been a safety aspect organization. >> they used to be, man. >> caller: but to allow a 5-year-old to have a rifle in the house? that's simply against everything the nra has ever stood for and still stands for. >> stephanie: well, good. i didn't hear anything about that at the convention. i guess they were short on time probably. only had three days.

they couldn't mention that was irresponsible. >> the nra has new leadership that makes it look crazy. you're watching a distant star implode. >> stephanie: frangibles, i thought it was -- i thought it was like an incredible edible. a snack food. i have frangibles. oh good, i'm hungry. >> i have a bowl of frangibles. >> if you're going to defend your home, that's a good thing to have to protect -- care about your neighbor. >> stephanie: i don't need it. i have my box. all you need is the sound effect. you don't even need the thing. you just need this. right? get away. i've got a -- [sound of gun koking] >> a lot of people say my box is scary. [sound of gun cocking] >> stephanie: 46 minutes after the hour. >> a big sheet of metal. >> stephanie: professional guys in here.

46 minutes after the hour. right back on "the stephanie miller show." >> what in the name of holy hell is going on here? >> it's "the stephanie miller show." that i'm going to be the first one to call them out. they can question whether i'm right, but i think that the audience gets that this guy, to the best of his ability, is trying to look out for us.

>> stephanie: therabreath lozenge helps stop uncomfortable dry mouth fast. available at walmart, walgreens and other fine stores. i had to read that because jim had to leave to go do other voice work.

>> he gets all the voice work. mr. big shot. you do a lot of voice work. >> not enough. and i'll tell you why. >> stephanie: okay. >> hello. i'm morgan freeman. [ buzzer ] >> stephanie: oh, that guy. >> you're probably wondering what's morgan freeman doing using up some of rick overton's precious time. well, maybe it's because the sun doesn't set in the same place in the sky every day. maybe i'm just growing old. and maybe i just don't want rick overton to get any voice work ever. [ laughter ] that's right. i don't mind him as a person. i just like messing with his voice career. and so, even if he's going in for the smallest cartoon animation voice, he is going to look up and see me, morgan freeman, sitting on the sofa across from him. holding the identical lines in

his hand, too. >> stephanie: in a white suit. >> good luck on the audition, rick. >> stephanie: he's voice work god. god is in charge. >> that's right. i don't want you to work ever. >> stephanie: i'm sorry to hear about that insidious side of morgan freeman. >> he's ruthless. >> i certainly don't need the money. i just do it because it's fun. >> stephanie: jason in d.c., you're on "the stephanie miller show" with rick. hi jason. >> caller: hey steph. everybody brings up this stuff about the kids with the guns. obviously that's just plain stupid parenting. a number of years ago -- >> stephanie: you're going to get to the swimming pools are more dangerous huh? >> caller: 100 times more. if anything, parents should be more concerned about having pools. think about william shatner. these things happen. >> stephanie: jason, do you guys get facts notes from the nra or something because i was

on -- she brought up the swimming pools but why does everyone bring up the one talk point at the same time? >> caller: how about the 32,000 people that died in gun deaths, over half died because they committed suicide with a gun. >> stephanie: that's another awful thing. >> caller: the country with the highest suicide rate is actually japan where they don't have access to guns. what they do is they jump in front of trains and gas themselves to death. people like to take this. this is what we do. we take statistics and no matter what it is. we try to make it bigger than it is. highway deaths. one out of four people that die in highway deaths, it is people hit on the side of the road. when they try to justify seatbelts, they like to throw the number. >> stephanie: you don't think we should have regulations on cars either? can't drive drunk? or cell phones? >> caller: people try to make their points, what they try to do is fluff up the numbers. okay. so i'll use one big thing. >> you're a fluffer stephanie.

>> stephanie: how dare you sir. i'm a gun control whore. >> it's a living. >> stephanie: i'm telling you i've already heard it. it is everything you're going to say. once again swimming pools not designed to kill people. >> what about rocks? >> usually if you have to show everything else that does something your thing does, it is because, you know, you don't want to just address the fact that your thing does that. >> stephanie: these people live in lord of the flies where someone was killed by a rock. >> once again i'm all for you did your thing. they check you out. you got your gun okay for you. we're talking about the kind of ammo. the kind of ammo -- it is not great for hunting. it is maybe really small animals then a 22 long round should have taken care of that as well. for the same size animal. >> stephanie: you're making some people in our audience so hot that you speak gun because i

don't speak gun here. >> 30 ot 6. this is a people dropper. >> stephanie: who would like some frangibles? okay. by the way you know, what starts here as comedy becomes reality. it is a weekend at tamerlan's because no one wants the body. you take it. i don't want it. >> let's take him water skiing. >> ashes at sea. i guarantee you. >> stephanie: they gave the body to the uncle who said he is a loser. he deserves to die. he contact would the funeral director who took the duty -- because they said that he said look harvey oswald, ted bundy all needed burying. that's his job. >> because when they die, it is just the body. it is not the person inside the body anymore. >> stephanie: he has difficulty finding a cemetery that takes the same view though. he was making the analogy about the other mass murderers who

have had to be buried. the bodies of tim mcveigh and ted bundy went unclaimed after their excuses so they were cremated and whatever. >> what did they do with the ashes? >> whip them in the air. >> stephanie: right that's whapt what happened. not an option for tamerlan who is islamic. >> no headstone. >> stephanie: burial at sea. toss the ashes in. >> okay. >> jut put it on a lobster dump. >> poor old ocean. >> they're in boston. they've got lobster boats. >> just taking anything you dump. >> stephanie: can you take the organ out for me? rhode island, you know. has become -- the tenth state to legalize gay marriage. before becoming the tenth state the bishop of providence issued a stern warning to his flock.

he issued a pastoral letter suggesting they might -- people should decline invitations to same sex weddings. important to affirm the teaching of the church based on god's word that homosexual acts are disorder which is not actually from the bible. it is from catholic church catcism. -- catechism. >> he sounds like a neat freak control freak. something is out of order. >> stephanie: a little anal. catholics should examine their constitutes about endorsing same-sex relationships. to do so might harm their relationship with god and cause significant scandal to others. if anybody should be an authority on significant scandal, it would be a roman catholic. >> the way he worded that, i think that guy is gay. i'm just sayin'. i think he's in the closet. he's gay. he protests just a little too much. >> stephanie: we love you rick overton.

thank you for jumping in. >> rick overton.net. >> listen to overview on itunes.
