years ago she and some friends saw a naked woman in ariel castro's backyard, they tried to speak to her, he told her to get down and told her to get back in the house. they called the police. the sister got a bad vibe from the house, heard yelling in the house and called police to investigate, but that was the time they left after no one answered the door. it's not obviously the kind of thing you would just assume but still it seems like -- >> yeah, they can't really just knock the door down. >> they can't, but it's a lower-income neighborhood, and they probably don't investigate things as much there as they do in -- >> yeah, that's probably true. >> stephanie: yeah. yeah. >> sadly. >> stephanie: yeah, and ariel castro, the one man was known by one of the victims -- did you have hear this part of it -- the family of one of the women who

profit hospitals bill medicare at a 29% higher rate than public hospitals or nonprofit hospitals. the good news, though is that in many cases those that submit the higher bills end up getting the lower payments. delaware is now the 11th state to legalize same-sex marriage. the senate voted 12-9 yesterday in favor of the bill. and as the senate judiciary committee prepares to take on the immigration bill patrick leahy has introduced two amendments to recognize same-sex couples. one amendment would let u.s. citizens sponsor the partners for green cards if they can prove they are in a committed relationship. we're back with more show after the break. stay with us. ♪ that viewers like about the

because i think she lost a crucial number of democrats who felt motivated, and it would have narrowed the field a little bit. she was trying to run as -- in many ways as a blue dog. >> stephanie: right. >> and why do we need to blue dog we have a real bonafied conservative republican who will lead the state and miss father's day with his children so he can sleep with his mistess, which is the perfect conservative. it's like a cloning project gone wrong. >> stephanie: yeah, it seems like any of these brothers in the cleveland case would probably run for something and win in south carolina at this point. >> yeah, that's entirely possible. i think sanford is worried about

a primary with them. >> stephanie: yeah. you were the only one that new the fun fact that apparently his kids were waiting for him and expecting him on father's day. >> yeah, they were literally staring at the door for six hours before they realized he wasn't showing up. and keep in mind all you carolynians, this is what you have to look forward to in your elected representative. because you are going to be like his wife and kids waiting for him -- one day you will be like he'll be here. he has important state business to take care of -- >> stephanie: that should have been the only ad they ran, just kids at a dinner table, with cobwebs, and every little sound, daddy? no. >> it is stunning, though.

but again it is a district that mitt romney carried by 18 points. >> stephanie: yeah. >> so do we really expect much. obviously they looked at everything that mitt romney had to offer in double digits and said yeah, that speaks to me. >> stephanie: exactly. we have talked about your home state of kentucky and we are in general with the red states this morning -- >> disappointed! >> stephanie: we talked about ashley judd getting drummed out of the race before she even got in. people just shrug and say ah red state. >> but remember that red state gets more money from the federal government than you do. if you live in these classically liberal states you chuck a buck worth of federal tax dollars into the system you get about 65 $0.85 back max.

where these states get $1.25, $1.30, and at the same time running these anti-government ideas. >> stephanie: hal somebody was telling me about a phone call to a right-wing radio host the other day, and he was going on and on moochers 47%, blah blah, and the host said how do your neighbors feel about your views? and he said i live in section at it housing. >> oh, so they all hate it? >> stephanie: yeah. apparently. apparently. so chris christie gastric bypass. looks like a sign he is running. >> i loved that we're getting

kardashian like news to show that our politicians might be running for president. here is a guy who didn't have the -- i guess fortitude to stick to a diet, somehow that going to equate to how he will run the presidency. we're not going to solve problems, we're just going to remove large sections of the country. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: we live in a country where being gay is a choice, but being fat, you can't help it. >> i just hope he doesn't have an al roker moment. >> yeah. >> stephanie: i hope he doesn't drop a duky in the white house.

>> well, every president does. >> stephanie: yeah, but it was in his pants. >> the number of things that have occurred in our history, i'm guessing -- >> floaters? what? >> stephanie: yeah it would be hard for him to preach austerity and belt tightening as it were if he doesn't slim down. >> yeah, he is going to run the old character issue, i don't know how they run that part of it. i expect everyone else to tighten their belt except me. which was the case in new jersey he took a state limo a hundred yards rather than walk to his kid's baseball game. and then had gastric bypass surgery. i'm just saying there might be more organic solution -- >> point of order, it wasn't gsaic bypass it was just a lap

band, which is much less -- >> that's true. he just had his belly lassoed. >> stephanie: right. did they give him a running start before they lassoed it? and of course he said he did it for his family. which i never buy anything like that, because when politicians quit to spend more time with your family, because no one wants to spend more time with hair family. >> as someone who loves spending time with their family, but i understand when a political figure says that, they are in the process of getting ready of a body. >> stephanie: anthony weiner wanted to spend more time with his loved one, his penis.

>> well, yeah. >> stephanie: i don't know if you are following, hal this story out of cleveland -- >> of course. >> stephanie: yikes what an amazing story. and obviously a lot of people are talking about the police work and stuff -- >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: what do you think? >> this is not the first time something like this has happened in this country. it happens in a lot of different countries. it's amazingly i suppose easy to get away with in that regard. the following stories -- we have had whatever -- maybe five of them in the last ten years? >> stephanie: yeah. >> it's -- the interesting thing is almost all of them have to do with the person figuring out a way to wiggle themselves free. they don't really entail any kind of along came a spider morgan freeman and ashley judd running to the cabin nobody has

an address for. >> stephanie: this country could use a lot more glad us kravitzs. >> yeah or jessica fletchers. although i wouldn't want -- >> yeah, everyone time she shows up, she dies. >> i think they did a show where she was actually the suspect. i think it's an amazing story. i think the healing of these women will be the most difficult part now, but for ten years just vanished from the face of the earth. and the number of people who disappear in this country, you know, there was a story recently -- maybe not recently -- about nine months ago about how they are concerned that some serial killers who are on their way out or have a death penalty in a way to keep their

body count up will say yes to crimes that they didn't commit. and to get these things off of their books the police will say did you do this one? and they'll go yeah. and they go blond lady? and they go, totally. and then they cross them off the list. a lot of these people turn out -- some of them are alive like this or were killed by other people who are out roaming around. so it speaks to the law enforcement issue of this. law enforcement does a terrible job when it comes to these kind of things. >> stephanie: right. hal, chris made a point earlier that this was a poor neighborhood, i'm going in beverly hills -- well maybe not beverly hills, but there's a naked woman on a leash --

>> yeah, that would get a lot more attention. >> this is how [ inaudible ] dean did what he did, because he was out in the woods and he was serving his victims as deer meat to his neighbors. >> he seemed like a nice feller. >> stephanie: we need a bunch of neighbors are going to get up in everybody's grill. >> and that was the man that two movies were based on psycho and the texas chain saw massacre. >> right. the truth is you know, this becomes a real issue, that law enforcement across the country needs to start looking into disappearances and these kinds of things with a legitimate eye, going we're not just going to assume that because somebody claimed they killed someone that that actually happened.

these women after they were gone for about two years were ignored. but for them being found alive this would be a cold case episode. >> stephanie: exactly. and the other thing we have learned, 911 dispatchers, since your tapes may be played on national television, just fake some urgency in your voice -- >> we'll get you a car when one is available. just hang on. >> yeah, that's -- i mean think of the neighborhood that this person received the call from -- >> stephanie: that's what we're saying, right. you have been waiting ten years you can wait ten minutes. >> yeah the guy left the house, this is your shot you crawl through whatever to get out with your child. somebody kicks a hole in the door you get across the street to call the police or whatever. the guy is probably on his way back, and the operator is like yeah can you hang on for a

2010 by, you guessed it the love gov and then followed up by nikki haley. they took half of charleston county out and went up and down the coast including sanford's hometown, so we're less than half of the county of charleston now, and we have no hopes of getting a democrat in there. >> stephanie: yeah did you say he is from buford? really? >> uh-huh. it's buffort. >> caller: actually his place is about half the size of hilton head. >> stephanie: oh really. all right. then. so, wow, this story out of cleveland gets more and more

amazing. ariel castro the suspect handed out fliers with the 14 year olds photo and performed music at a fund raiser. >> wow. >> stephanie: when neighbors gathered for a candlelight vigil, castro was there comforting the mother. isn't that lovely. castro like everyone else in the most s nightly knit mostly porta rican neighborhood seemed shaken by the girl's disappearance. a relative of the three brothers said their family was totally shocked. they said -- one relative said -- they are as blind sided as everyone else. he said he hadn't been to castros house since the mid-90s.

chris obviously, we're like we're going to find out some gruesome details. cleveland's police chief said the three women were restrained with ropes and chains. we were saying yesterday why couldn't they get out, why were they restained. they were allowed out into a back beyond a reasonable doubt occasionally. >> on a leash naked. >> stephanie: yeah, the police said the physical condition of the three women were very good considering the circumstances. he said he was absolutely sure the police did every they could to find the women. he disputed claims by the neighborhoods that officers had been called to the house before for us ispy house circumstances -- he said the three men had been talk but

wouldn't say if they had confessed. according to law enforcement accounts they kidnapped and kept all three women in the house while pregnant. one of the women suffered up to three miscare ages. the abc affiliate reported. the only surviving child was a terrified six year old. horrifyingly, there was a fourth woman at the house in 2002 and when she was kidnapped knight told police that there was another woman in the house and one day when she woke up she was gone. castro knew amanda, and he

helped in the search for dejesus. when we went out to look for gina, he helped pass out fliers. he was friends with the family and then talked about the individual and comforting the girl's mother. >> so they may yet be charged with murder. >> stephanie: yeah we'll see. twenty-nine minutes after the hour. many more details as we continue on the "stephanie miller show."

alright, in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks. i think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that we're honest. they know that i'm not bs'ing them with some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know 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. ♪ >> i have a passion to seek

would still -- if you put a gun to my head i would still say the odds are slightly in favor of some kind of a bill. but -- but the convention wisdom in washington is like well, of course they are going to pass a bill because the republicans know they have to, and i think that conventional wisdom is crazy. i think it's more like 53-47. and there is a lot of republican opposition, and they are going to start hearings soon and they are going to have amendment after amendment after amendment and anyone who knows anything about the senate knows the way you kill bills in the senate is you load it down with amendments, and then it becomes so complicated that you lose this number of people on the right and then this number of people on the left and it becomes a big mess. >> stephanie: yes.

you talk about the heritage foundation's report, but this is an old conservative play go after the cost of something, which permits them to good against the idea per se, but they are fighting amongst themselves about this heritage report, right? >> yeah, they are. and jim demint tried to say i'm for immigration reform of course, in principle, we're all for immigration reform it's just this immigration reform bill, you know? >> stephanie: yeah. >> and -- and that's -- that's -- you know he knows very well and heritage knows very well that one way to get conservatives, tea party people, really exercised one pav loefian -- one way to ensure a pavlovian response is talk about adding to the cost and size of government.

>> stephanie: right. and the heritage report said it will cost $6.3 trillion. and obviously the republican senator leading the push for irsays that that number is brazenly exaggerated. as you point out the cbo estimated the immigration reform bill would increase spending by 23 billion, but revenues by more than twice than. >> yeah. >> stephanie: yeah obviously these numbers -- and isn't the heritage thing like over 50 years? like who does a study that projects costs over 50 years? >> yeah. i don't know anybody that takes those 50-year numbers very seriously. they have done studies when they come back and look five years later, and the numbers were way off for even five years. >> stephanie: right. and it makes a big scary number for fiscal conservatives. >> right. it's the worst -- you know they

are painting the worst case sen case -- scenario. >> stephanie: right. [ inaudible ]. >> well, i really do think that -- if there is no immigration bill the republicans obviously are going to try to position themselves in such a way that they can blame democrats. because they are going to say that the democrats insisted on this and this and that and those are unreasonable things. but i really think the vast majority of the public walks into this thing, assuming they are operating in less good faith. so if there is no bill the republicans are likely to get the lion's share of the blame. so if they nominate marco

rubio -- which seems hard to do if immigration dies -- the latino vote is going to stay the way it is broodly speaking and as the latino share of the overall vote grows, you know, they are just going to have a hard time winning elections, and that upsets us and our listeners greatly. >> stephanie: right. and as you say when we got these election results, you said it seemed like a no-brainer -- who would have thought background checks would fail. at 90-something percent approve rating. i think that -- look at how many senators are already having to back pedal from their vote -- >> yeah. and i think -- kelly ayotte back pedalled yesterday, and jeff flake is back paddling and i

think it may pass next time. and i did hear from a few fellow americans who do think the second amendment is different than all other amendments. it may not shock you to hear that. >> stephanie: no, i'm not shocked to hear that. i can only imagine our mail bag looks the same. >> were you accused for doing more for world socialist domination than anyone else? >> stephanie: check. >> i was accused of that. >> stephanie: the idea that a group of americans possessions an absolute right to own and keep weapons that kill numerous peoples is bar barrack and psychotic. so you say for civilians we're one supreme court justice away of getting sanity and balance, and the only thing i could decide is whether it would be

more dely house for barack obama to do it or hillary clinton. and that is your usually scampry to poke the republicans with a stick. just to keep the mail bag interesting. >> that's right. >> stephanie: all right. sir, all to your conference call. so good to talk to you. thanks again. >> thank you.

wkyc reporting that all three women were forced to have sex with their captors resulting in at least five pregnancies. the women were beaten until they lost their pregnancies. the women were usually held in the basement though one was in an upstairs room. one of the rooms in the house has chains hanging from the ceiling. ariel castro was apparently known around the music scene. on his facebook page the group came forward to disavow castro saying he only played with them a couple of times. and stopped working with him because he was always late from practice. >> chain only hang from the ceiling in horror movies. good god.

>> stephanie: arel's estranged son wrote an article about the missing girls. he said he noticed that ariel kept many parts of the house locked. he said the house was always locked, there were places we could never go. that might make one just a tad bit suspicious. he said his last visit two weeks ago, his father would not let him inside. he depicted his father as a violent controlling man who nearly beat his mother to death while she was recovering from brain surgery. one neighborhood said he was with castro the day investigators dug up a yard. castro told cruz, they are not going to find anyone there. [♪ dramatic music ♪] >> stephanie: i think there are some questions regarding the police in this -- because one neighborhood said everyone in the neighborhood did what they had to do.

the police didn't do their job. they were talk about at least a couple of calls -- the one neighborhood that saw the naked woman in the backyard -- and michele knight's mother told the today show she hadn't seen her daughter yet. she said they had a tense relationship before she disappeared. she said i know she's probably angry at the world, because she probably thought she would never be found. she hopes their tension can heal and wants to take her daughter back to florida where she now lives. castro was arrested two days after christmas on a domestic violence charge. the case was predented to a grand jury and no indictment was returned. unclear who brought the charges

against castro. so four years ago -- this was -- what people were talk about -- what you were talk about chris about the poor neighborhood. police were heavily criticized following the discovery of 11 women's bodies in the backyard of a man's home. the families of soul's victim accused the police of failing to properly investigate because most of the women were addicted to drugs. the smell was blamed on a sausage factory next door. >> oh, god. >> stephanie: investigators twice dug up backyards looking for amanda berry. the disappearance of the two girls was profiled on america's most wanted in 2005, but i guess

few leads ever came in about knight because she was an adult, and the mom thought she left on her own. we continue to update you and all of that as we continue on the "stephanie miller show." ♪
