blindly accept that as fact. >> stephanie: i just was talking with chris about this before the show. reading this in the atlantic, the police were saying they didn't get calls, but there are other people saying -- there's too many people that say it it sounds suspicious. >> caller: very suspicious. first of all you don't need to be colombo to realize one of the daughters was the friend of a victim. and she was not given an amber alert, which is ridiculous. she was 14 and they tried to convince the family she was a run away and the family told them, no she was not. >> stephanie: yeah, i guess there's some controversy, and again -- chris, i was asking you this. could they cover it up? because they would be the ones that had access -- >> it's possible. it depends on how they structure

the police department there -- >> stephanie: right, because angela a lot of people in the beginning said the police are being unfairly criticized but obviously that's one of the things that is going to play out here, right? >> caller: yeah, i also think -- unfortunately we have a history in the present of police psychopathic behavior in our communities that doesn't get talked about in the main stream media, so a lot of people aren't aware of this, and a lot of people's first reaction is to automatically defend the police, and that really angers me because if you know the history and the present you wouldn't go toward that light. >> stephanie: you are right. i don't reflexively criticize the police but chris you brought this up early on, they don't react the same in beverly

hills as -- >> caller: exactly. >> in the case of the girls being paraded on doing leashes, maybe it just sounded so preposterous to the police. they probably thought oh great, another prank call. >> yeah, but it is kind of their duty -- >> stephanie: but i guess the question is were there calls or not? >> or are they just people in the neighborhood who want their 15 minutes. >> stephanie: the prosecutor. >> i fully intend to seek charges for each and every act of sexual violence rape each day of kidnapping every fell loanous assault, all of his attempted murders, and each act of aggravated murder he committed by terminating pregnancies that the defender perpetuated against the

hostages. my office will also engage in a formal process in which we evaluate whether to seek charges eligible for the death penalty. >> stephanie: he went on to say they are evaluating that. >> we evaluate whether to seek charges eligible for the death penalty. >> stephanie: yeah. that's what our previous caller was referring to. that he impregnanted at least one of her captives at least five times amanda berry was forced to give birth in a plastic kitty pool. can you imagine every ten years being charged for every act of sexual assault and crimes -- >> good. >> stephanie: yeah, exactly. vincent in illinois on that subject. >> caller: hey all.

that last caller about the abortion case, i think it has to do with the choice of the woman. if the woman decides they want to take that child to term and that fetus is killed, now it's no longer the women's choice -- >> they have no choice in the matter. you are right. that's the difference. >> caller: that's the difference on murder charges, because of that difference. >> very good point. >> caller: if i may say one more thing to [ inaudible ] please. in that reference to the clink movie is there anything you can talk about that? are you going to have a song? >> i have no idea. i just know it is coming out in 2015. >> stephanie: he has a while to think about that. thank you honey. the minute i heard that -- i thought, oh, boy -- you are going to get into this whole -- >> it's not abortion -- >> stephanie: there's nobody that hears this story that is

week, so i guess we can just pack up and go home. and did you hear the jodi areas sentencing has been postponed, there was a guy who tweeted a bomb threat i'm like really? >> i heard nancy grace saw her shadow and that means six more weeks of jodi areas. >> stephanie: right. i told you in when i'm at cnn, it's like high school, because there's the cool kids and then the political geeks from the regular cnn like me. i always get asked like which trial are you talking about -- >> yeah. >> stephanie: i'm just here to talk about the sequester again -- >> yeah. >> and then jane velez mitchell shoves me into the lockers again. >> hi, which missing blond are you here to talk about? >> at least you never have to run into nancy grace.

>> stephanie: they are the cool kids. >> the media really had a good time. the jury found the verdict guilty of shoving the jodi areas down our throats because apparently kinky sex with hot chicks makes for good television. >> stephanie: yeah i was like wow -- i hope there's an extra penalty for being an oversharer in general, don't you? >> i think there is. and now that fox us in has oliver north come on to talk about cover ups in the middle east, they can have jodi areas talk about dating tips -- >> stephanie: right. i'm a helper as you know and i said let's put jodi areas and ariel castro in a cell together. arm them to the teeth, celebrity psycho death match and let them

work it out. >> yeah, and it is so amazing to give hope to all of the parents whose kids are missing. the inspiration it brings for people who want to believe that their kids are still there, and god bless her to families. >> stephanie: sadly i was saying all of the layers of horror and sadness -- the one girl, though michele knight, the longest-held captive there, is free after 11 years, but she remained hospitalized, because she suffered through these five miscare ages. she is shunning visits from vel relatives some of whom thought she was a run away. i hope they reconcile, it's hard to imagine where she is psychologically, let alone

physically. >> it will take many, many years, but they are alive and that's what matters and they survived. these women are victims but survivors even more. >> stephanie: and another layer of psychological torture that he let them watch this tv coverage and of course that was the thing, michele knight's family didn't because they thought she ran away -- neither knight's grandmother said we haven't on her request. she did not want to be seen by family. friendly knight did go to the hospital and visit her sister. he has spoken to her once after that, but said he would leave her alone at the request of the hospital. and then we talked about the mace carriaging and being

starved -- >> it's a good thing we have happy stories like mark sanford. >> stephanie: yes, isn't that great. knight was a 20-year-old single mother when she vanished in 2002 after losing a custody battle she took off and never came back, noting that the family believed that she ran away. and this is probably during the women's captivity, their tormenter showed them coverage of the berry and dejesus's families. knight's family did not hold vigils and the grandmother said they assumed she was dead. there is always slivers of goodness victim advocates pulled together and were

organizing a balloon release in her honor. the knight family was headed to the dejesus family in honor of the women. we thought we would introduce ourselves and get to know their family. and charles ramsey said this yesterday. >> all you have to do is make that check out to amanda berry. what else you got? any other rewards? you make them out to gene. what else you got? you go give that to michelle. >> god forgive anyone trying to smear this guy for his troubled past, it's why he is a hero. he was not a perfect guy. >> stephanie: cindy in texas, you are on with john. hi cindy. >> hi, stephanie, how are you? >> stephanie: good go ahead. >> caller: the death penalty. i'm am from texas.

and we have the death penty here and we use it. that's too easy of a way out for this guy. i want this guy locked up for as long as we can possibly keep him alive. i want him in general population too. i don't want him to have access to get medical care while he is there. he needed punished. >> stephanie: but this is where chris is saying we're getting over the line into revenge. but i agree with you, captivity is the perfect -- saying general population is implying you want him to get raped -- and that's not the way our society is based -- right, john? >> it sucks being the good guy, and we don't do revenge. he is going to lose his liberty for the rest of his life. i read statistic that more men are raped than women because of prison rape. and i don't want horrible things

to happen to anyone -- >> stephanie: you understand it when you read these details you understand the eye for an eye feeling. but that's all i was -- chris was saying john that he wants the death penalty for him. and that's exactly what i said that i love the irony too much that they are free and he is captive now. >> yeah, i understand. but the problem with being a christian and saying that is the guy did a sermon on the mount where he completely overturned that. >> stephanie: i thought he was always talking too much about homosexuality to be bothered about that. >> yeah, that's true. jesus -- the irony was if there was no death penalty, he might still be around. but it's any hardest challenge. how do you let a monster live? well, it's because you are not a monster. >> we have more prisoners than

stol -- stalin's [ inaudible ] did. >> stephanie: and now kenny pick, our man on the ground. >> caller: yeah the people trying to interject abortion politics into this. it's completely wrong headed. because what happened to all three of these women was -- everything that was done was against their will. so any charges leveled against him. and i agree, i think he should be locked up. i'm not into the whole revenge thing. i'm anti-death penal -- penalty. and i won't shed a tear if he is put to death but i think he should be locked out. our hero -- the hero of the story -- um -- the guy that got

auto tuned -- >> stephanie: charles ramsey. >> caller: yeah. that's another thing too. i'm so glad john brought that up about people smearing him. with charles ramsey, he is a man that actually went through the prison system and sought redemption and is redeemed. he committed violence against women in the past, and you know -- and went through the system, unlike ariel castro that admitted violence against women and never went through the system. >> stephanie: yeah interesting. >> caller: and to -- >> and his poor daughter didn't. >> stephanie: yeah. yeah. this is the difference between the two. charles ramsey completely redeemed. he is a hero now. he made mistakes in his mast. >> stephanie: yeah this is ariel castro's mother yesterday. >> i ask that those mothers forgive me and that the girls forgive me for all of the pain

they suffered. >> stephanie: all of those horrible details came out that his family basically said he is a monster. >> his daughter is in jail for slashing her own baby's throat in the middle of a suicide attempt. now people will have to revisit what drove her to that. >> caller: and his youngest daughter the one that was best friends with gene dejesus -- >> stephanie: right. >> caller: she -- that was kind of stunning too. with that interview with george stephanopoulos yesterday. she claimed she never witnessed any kind of violence at all. but it's like wasn't this the guy that was knocking her mother around. >> stephanie: right. here is arlene castro now. >> i would like to say, i'm absolutely so so sorry. i really want to see you gina and i want you to meet my kids. i'm so sorry for everything.

>> stephanie: kenny can you hang with us for a minute. >> the family doesn't need to be apologizing -- >> they feel the need to. >> stephanie: i think that was nice. >> yeah, but they did nothing -- >> stephanie: well i know -- but i think if any of our relatives did something, a lot of people do that. they express regret. >> when they say they are sorry, they are not necessarily apologizing, they are lamenting. and you always think is there something i could have done to prevent it. >> stephanie: yeah i'm sorry my brother tried to hang me as a child.

this show is about being up to date, staying in touch with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it. in reality it's not like they actually care. this is purely about political grandstanding. ♪

♪ my name is my name is my name is -- >> announcer: stephanie miller. ♪ my name is, my name is my name is -- >> announcer: stephanie miller. >> stephanie: all right. this hour brought to you by therabreath mouth watch and toothpaste. available at target wal-mart walgreens and other fine stores. john fugelsang in the new york bureau. kenny pick from cleveland, our man on the ground. i just like to say that. >> caller: thank you. >> stephanie: talking about the cleveland case. kenny what are the other updates out of cleveland. we talked about a lot of controversy about the police and the neighbors. i'm reading a piece that says

that police missed multiple calls about women on doing leashes and the police are saying no. is there any evidence that there is a cover up? >> this has got to be the biggest controversy now surrounding this, and like i have been sfrag the beginning, i definitely want to see an investigation from a third-party into what happened with the police. because there are a lot of people coming out, you know, and again, just being a clevelander, i'm not trying to cast -- because their neighborhood is a lot like mine there, and i don't want to cast any -- you know, disparaging ideas about that neighborhood, but i'm saying there is this mentality in cleveland -- and this goes for everything actually in cleveland. there's a cleveland apathy. i have identified this for years, where it's kind of like you go along to get along. you don't raise a big fuss

because you want to stay out of trouble. and that goes all across the spectrum in cleveland. so there's a chance that maybe these people saw something and didn't report it. but i want to see an investigation, i want -- a lot of people have been referring to the anthony soul case, the guy that raped and murdered 11 women, because that was sheer negligence on the part of the police, because you don't have a house that smells like corpses and don't investigate. >> stephanie: yeah, there was a report detailing the many warning signs that appear to be not one, not two, but at least three neighbors called police to report suspicious activity at the house. and they say we're not talking about watering the flowers at

midnight kind of suspicious we're talk about women being lead around on dog leashes suspicious. but i thought the girls themselves said that didn't happen. >> that's right. there is that contradiction, because apparently there were two times they were able to leave the house, and they were ushered by him from the house to the garage in disguises, but if you look at his history of violence against women, maybe that was a different woman in the backyard. >> stephanie: yeah. and they are saying -- they are saying mostly it is hearsay, but the volume of tips that would have lead them to the castro home is starting to look pretty condemning. is that the consensus forming there? >> yeah, it is.

it's -- i mean -- there have been some failings from the local government and the police in the past -- it's not looking real sunny, real optimistic. and mike brought up a good point the other day too, is how did they never interview the father of the best friend of gene dejesus. >> >> stephanie: right. and the way the atlantic wire is writing this there was one report of a woman pounding on a woman -- i hadn't heard that case. i thought they meant pounding on the window. >> yeah, those stories have been evolving as they interview folks on the street. so, again, i will give -- i'll give them as much credence as i'll give the police right now. >> stephanie: and again the last

piece neighborhood women said they called police because they saw three young girls crawling on all fours with doing leashes, and three men were controlling them. they called police but the police never responded. and that would imply that maybe the brothers were involved. >> yeah, i would be curious to see when that report was given. because it sounds a little suspicious. >> stephanie: right because at this point the brothers have not been charged. >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: what are you hearing in terms of the brothers. >> i forget who called in right after me from cleveland but she menninged that the brothers were let go on open container charges. one was like 12 years old. so they are looking at -- i have no idea exactly why they were

brought in. i'm still trying to find that out. but they -- they are still investigating and if there are any charges to be brought up against them, they -- they will but for the time being. if you looked at how confident his brothers were in court, versus how ariel castro was in court, i'm thinking they probably had nothing to do with this. >> stephanie: incredible, though, they would not know anything about this. kenny thanks honey. appreciate it. back with more fridays with fugelsang on the "stephanie miller show." that raised the bar for excellence. >> we dive deep into the topics that we cover. >> telling important stories that need to be told.

admitted it. but oh, my god the details are horrifying. >> i wanted to follow the jodi areas case but that was my day to go service the homeless sexually, so i could don't it. no it was kind of unavoidable. but interesting, occasionally there are unattractive non-white people on trial for murder, that don't get involved. and when you shoot someone and stab them 26 times -- >> stephanie: 29 times. yeah her trial has been delayed. and he was shot in the face. >> the sad irony is she was a man who killed a woman, he would be getting marriage proposals right now.

>> stephanie: i was out here for the maen in dez trial. arias tried to convince the jury she had acted in self-defense because he attacked her after dropping his camera. and the cleveland case and others, she says she prefers the death sentence. i said years ago i would rather get death than life and that's still true today. i believe death is ultimate freedom. and i would rather have my

freedom. people are saying she is just doing that so they don't give her what she wants -- >> yeah, that's what he said.

>> somewhere cheney's old heart is so happy to be out of that. >> stephanie: that's one of' moto cons, a dancing heart. >> we are did a sketch this week about how benghazi is now available in easy to swallow pill form. >> stephanie: exactly. here is [ inaudible ]. >> our goal is to get answers, because their families deserve answers. they were promised answers at the highest level when their bodies came home. >> oh, this guy is so disgusting. >> stephanie: he really is. they want answers. >> well, the answer is -- >> you want answers? >> i think i'm entitled! >> i want the truth. >> you can't handle the truth! >> republican politicians voted to cut embassy security funding. >> that's right. >> stephanie: and would you like

youthful experimentations with borrowing other people's cars without permission, and failed attempt to recall the governor of california, and his disregard for traditional house rules and plain decency of democratic minority issues. remember he had the whole hearing on women's health and not one women got to -- >> yes. >> stephanie: that almost made me want to run for congress so i could have a hearing about balls. katherine high gel you are the only witness today. he said -- most republicans who held that post particularly in opposition [ inaudible ] he is exceedingly unsuccessful. he counts on his opponents to back down, his mo is to make outrageous claims and then
