subsidy. >> stephanie: delay it for a year. there is a lot to get into about that because obviously supporters are going to say it is -- flexibility and republicans are going to say see, it is a failure already. we'll get into all of that. here's jacki schechner in the current news center. >> let's talk about this healthcare reform news. yesterday, the treasury department announced that it was going to delay by a year, the requirement that large employers provide health insurance or pay a fine. the move is in response to feedback it says from businesses that the reporting process is going to have to be more simple. white house senior adviser valerie jarrett is framing this move as an indication that the administration is willing to be flexible and that it wants to make sure it gets things right as it implements the affordable care act. here are the facts. the employer responsibility provision applies to businesses with 50 or more full-time employees and right now well over 90% of those businesses

already offer health insurance coverage. by choice. so this is less than an issue of practical impact than it is about what the political implications may be right now because, as you might expect, the g.o.p. and opponents of healthcare reform are jumping all over this announcement as some indication that reform is failing. the treasury department says meanwhile, it is going to have more details about how it will implement the now delayed mandate later this summer that will now be delayed until 2015. again, this may just be a p.r. miscalculation. we'll talk more about that when we come back on the show. another "washington post" abc news poll shows the public thinks the supreme court got it right when it comes to same-sex marriage but not necessarily right when it comes to the voting rights act decision. 56% say that legally married same-sex couples should get the same federal benefits as straight married couples and 51 first approve of the court's rejection of california's gay marriage ban. but when it comes to striking down the voting rights act key

sexy liberal hal hal sparks for hump days with hal. big news on the healthcare front. that means -- ♪ jacki's news ♪ >> stephanie: this isn't news now. it is healthcare. good morning, jacki schechner. >> i got myself a head cold just in time to talk about healthcare a cold in my nose. >> stephanie: you have a cold in your nose. so, as you said at the top first of all can we say at the top of the hour, "the washington post" poll showing most americans agree with me. the supreme court got it right on gay rights, wrong on voting rights. >> that was good news. >> stephanie: it is hard being the smartest person in every room. >> does it hurt your brain? >> stephanie: it does. it is awful. >> must be nice to always believe you know better. to always think you're the smartest person in the room. >> stephanie: it's awful. cross i bear. >> different movie. >> stephanie: jacki schechner, the obama administration said

yesterday it will not require employers to provide health insurance for their workers until 2015 delaying a key provision of the healthcare overhaul. we already had a right wing caller say see it doesn't work and blah. >> i will say the one who called in to talk about a congressional action to meet the law. ezra klein made the same point. the white house will say that this kind of thing happens all the time. and that there are always examples when there's a big, major policy change where there's some discretion on implementation. that's understandable. but it's true if you're going to delay enforcing the penalties that there should be some conversation about that. the white house has a discretion obviously to do it. but the caller is not wrong. if you're going to make changes to the law and the law says the penalty has to be in place come 2014 that -- they can't single-handedly make that

decision. >> stephanie: as you and i were saying at the top of the hour, of course, as has been from the beginning the partisanship behind this, republicans are already saying, they're jumping all over it. obamacare is a failure. democrats are saying i think more correctly, it is a demonstration of flexibility. again, how you implement it, i understand. harry reid's office said it is better to do this right than to do it fast. explain what's happening and why. >> here's what's going on. there's the individual mandate which is that everybody's got to buy in or you have to pay a fine and the idea behind that is that if you don't have health insurance and you end up getting medical care, we pay for you anyway. so you gotta contribute something to the pot. there's also an employer mandate and i like to call it shared responsibility because the idea is that you as an employer have to offer good, affordable health insurance options for your employees or if they go out on the exchange, you've got to pay in because we're a taxpayer subsidizing your employees to

buy on the exchange. so it makes a lot of sense just from a practical perspective and a societal shared responsibility perspective. now, businesses -- some businesses have complained and said that the reporting process is too complicated and it seems like the treasury's got some stuff it needs to work out in terms of how it is going to collect this information and implement the penalties so there's now -- they've now delayed this another year. instead of all of this going into place in 2014, they've delayed it until 2015. just the employer mandate part. it only applies to businesses with more than 50 full-time employees. now, the rub in all of this is that 94% of businesses are 50 to 199 employees already offer health insurance and 98% of businesses -- it is a good way to get and retain good employees, they get tax subsidies for it. they know it is the way to keep employees healthy and productive. so there's all of these reasons

that companies do it voluntarily now. so the company that would be impacted by this change in the law, it is a very, very small number in comparison to the number of large businesses that are in the country that already do this by choice. >> stephanie: the treasury department said this is designed to meet two goals. simplify the new reporting requirements consistent with the 2010 law. it will provide time to adapt health coverage and reporting systems while employers are moving forward making health coverage affordable and accessible. so an administration official briefed organizations as a practice year for businesses. >> it could. it is very hard because i come from a communications perspective on this. my role in healthcare fight was working as a communications director of a big huge healthcare campaign and so i look at this from a p.r. perspective. this is not a great p.r. move to be perspectly honest. i don't know why you want to give red meat to the g.o.p.

rules and the opposition to healthcare reform. they're going to say it is not working. this is proof -- they don't know what they're doing. it really does seem like okay, you're burying it in the week of july 4th and you're delaying it until after -- it makes sense. if i were an opponent of healthcare reform, i would make the exact same arguments. and a p.r. perspective you have to weigh those things. say look what's the good of this and the bad of this and you can spin it all you want but i mean frankly it doesn't look great. so i understand where the g.o.p. is jumping all over it. i would too. >> stephanie: well, it's interesting though. they're saying trade groups representing trade groups welcome the change. the head of that organization say we commend the administration's wise move. this one-year delay will provide employers and businesses more time to update healthcare coverage without threat of arbitrary punishment. >> it is never good when it looks like the administration is kowtowing to business but it doesn't look good. >> stephanie: this part i have a question about.

somebody said in our conversation this afternoon the representatives from the administration, they're respecting employers to voluntarily go forward with the rules. do you think -- do you think they will? >> i'm not sure any business is going to voluntarily pay a penalty. that seems sort of odd to me that that would be the expectation. it may find more time for employers to figure out the best ways to offer affordable health insurance. like that -- that may be a good -- that may be a good outcome of this. there is a lot of h. rv -- h. r. departments. >> stephanie: it could help the campaign to sign up for coverage. the kaiser family foundation, as you know, nonpartisan. it takes away one of the source of criticism. >> stephanie: it does in some

ways eliminate that because we're not going to talk about the employer mandate and all of the people like the guy from papa john's who was saying he was going to charge more because of healthcare reform and all of the bogus claims that people were going to cut back hours. they already are because of healthcare reform that hasn't been implemented yet. it can cut down on some of the noise. when have the opponents ever played fair? when have they ever -- >> stephanie: boehner said this is a clear acknowledgement the law is unworkable. okay. >> they're all coming out and saying this is evidence now that is a giant failure. no one is going to parse the details of it. they're going to say the administration, you know is delaying something because they can't figure out how to make it work. that's not true necessarily but it is very hard to spin this one. interesting to see. >> stephanie: the other question, jacki, they're saying does this flexibility, you know, mean that you know, other parts of the healthcare bill --

>> is it a slippery slope. i don't know. the thing is they have not made any indication that they're going to do any kind of delay on the individual mandate. my big question, i went to my sources and said what do you think about this? my thing was how does this affect the cost, right, because does this put more of a burden on the taxpayer now that you don't have employers contributing to the pot. and i think it does raise the deficit a bit. it does have an impact. a small impact. but it does have an impact. i don't know where that money's going to come from if you've got a year of delay. it may not be enough to make a difference but there is a little bit -- there has to be a little bit of a financial shift. >> stephanie: you would think those deficit hawks in the house would be all over that. >> all of a sudden they don't seem to care about the deficit. >> stephanie: deficits don't matter. funny that. all right. thank you your healthcareness, we appreciate it. >> no problem. i would ask people to look for the facts before they buy into the hype. that's the key. do some research. i'll put up a bunch of links on

twitter along the way. just make sure you pay attention because there will be a lot of spin and it will be negative spin. >> stephanie: all right, honey, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> stephanie: all right, bye-bye. mason in ohio, you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi mason. >> caller: good morning, my little 4th of july sunshine. how are you doing, today? >> stephanie: good morning moonshine. >> caller: hey, listen, you know i'm a news junky. i wear my nerd badge proudly. i gotta say i'm a little annoyed at the fact that all of the news networks are hearing is the zimmerman trial front to back. there is way too many news stories that are being missed and i'm going to -- i'm going to soapbox just a little if you don't mind to give you the headlines that really annoy the living daylights out of me. the biggest one i think is the fact that brought up in the ways and means committee issa voted to waive fifth amendment rights. she no longer has fifth

amendment rights as far as the i.r.s. hearings. she will have to testify. no one breathed a word of that on any of the networks. >> stephanie: yeah. >> republicans are screaming about constitutional rights. why not the fifth amendment of the constitutional right? evidently that one is not important. >> stephanie: only the second. >> caller: only the second amendment applies. but also the biggest -- and i know texas is being covered as far as the abortion rights situation goes. but ohio just passed, as part of their budget, huge restrictions on abortions and it is the most stringent law within the united states. >> stephanie: no, it is a big deal. >> north carolina just tacked on some really heavy abortion restrictions to an anti-sharia law bill to make sure it would pass there. >> stephanie: what did you think of the trayvon martin testimony yesterday? because his story is a little shaky, zimmerman right?

>> hal: exactly. my feeling is that it is a monetary issue as well. industry allowing gay people to let's go people to be married. it is so much financial gain that outweighs -- that's how it always works. we have obesity prevention programs that are governmental not because the government overnight decided to start caring about people anymore than they did the day before but because the actuarials hit a tipping point where the cost of taking care of people who have a long-term -- future of disease because of the way they are now easily predictable. immediately, all of the insurance companies start getting people to exercise. that's another bailout on some way. same thing applies. like once they hit the tipping point of gay marriage, fighting it is more expensive than letting it pass.

>> stephanie: jenny in georgia, you're on with hal. hi jenny. >> caller: hi, guys. good to see you all together again. >> stephanie: thank you. >> caller: thank you hal now i watch fashion police, dexter and lab rats. because of you. okay. here's what i want to know. i thought when the voting act thing came down, i wondered if joining everybody else, no matter what their color joining the naacp would give the naacp more power and more umph because they're already in place if that would give them the strength to be able to fight this -- >> hal: short answer is you don't have to be black to be in the naacp. >> caller: exactly. >> hal: i've been a member for over a decade. >> or the naacp.

>> hal: you're absolutely right. that is obviously with the systemic destruction of acorn which is, by the way if you track back from the roberts decision, you know, it is not surprising -- >> stephanie: you know most of what they did? social welfare. you know what the smaller amount was? political. >> hal: totally. one of the areas that acorn did was, you know, was voter drives and the ability to get everybody registered. just in the generic sense of that. that was cutting that off at the knees and then this following up. this looks like strategy to me. it looks like long-term multidecade strategy to get back to what i think -- when tea parties say constitution. we want to go back to what the founders wanted. what the founders wanted, white male landowners voting and nobody else. that's in there. so if you go back, i believe in the core principles of it, that's a core principle. >> stephanie: taylor in denver.

>> caller: long time listener. love you guys. >> we love you denver, city by the way. >> caller: all of these anti-abortion laws. in 1970 something the supreme courts had already ruled on this. it is like what are they trying to do? i've never seen so many men so many angry white men trying to dictate and decide what i'm able to do. we've seen this, north carolina, they're trying to do their sneaky stuff. wendy davis, the new superhero of texas. i'm like what's going to happen? they try to do this years ago in colorado. they tried to do the personhood amendment. >> stephanie: yeah exactly. 29 minutes after the hour. hump days with hal on "the stephanie miller show."

they have his teacher from the self-defense class that teaches the legalities of using deadly force and said he was actually a memorable student because he got an a in the class. >> stephanie: the sidewalk is a weapon, the lawyer said. >> hal: his defense lawyer -- he said you will hear that trayvon martin was unarmed, not carrying a deadly weapon. i will say that the sidewalk is a deadly weapon. every environment you're in other than the pillow room at the playboy mansion is a deadly weapon now. now you can use deadly force against me because i was standing next to a pillar. >> you seem to have intimate knowledge of the playboy room. >> hal: i do. [ scooby-doo's "huh?" ] >> stephanie: apparently i was not invited into the pillow room. >> well, there are three levels of parties going on. >> need to be a little stacked in order to be admitted to the pillow room. >> stephanie: i was on the unstacked first level. >> scientology thing.

you have to go through multiple tests and stuff. [ laughter ] clear certain barriers. >> i'm a level nine pillow room. >> stephanie: i was on the first floor getting hit on by frank stallone. ♪ i'm far from over ♪ >> hal: that's how that goes, right? >> stephanie: wow, here's good news if you're traveling over the holiday weekend. air passengers show up with guns. that's terrific. several times a day at airports across the country passengers try to walk through security with loaded guns. it is happening more often. in the first six months, the tsa found 894 guns on passengers. dopies. you can't bring a gun on a plane! god! i love this guy in sacramento, california last year, tsa officers noticed a guy wearing a shoulder holster. it was a loaded nine millimeter pistol. he had three more. 192 rounds of ammunition and two

knives. >> hal: i have a right to shoot the pilots. >> no. >> stephanie: now, i'm not allowed to have a novelty to defend myself against that guy. >> hal: don't stand on the sidewalk. hop on to the grass. >> you can have novelty bats. >> no novelty bats. >> stephanie: they backed down on that. >> only the ones that double as a pen. >> stephanie: who wants to get the pool cue knocked over their head. they said you can bring a pool cue or a hockey stick. >> i'm standing my ground. i'm standing on the ground. >> stephanie: passenger in allentown, pennsylvania, was carrying a pistol designed to look like a writing pen. clever, james bond. at first, the passenger said it was a pen. but later acknowledged it was a gun. all right, you caught me. >> hal: while he had an entire arm up to the elbow inside him. yeah yeah, yeah, that's a gun.

you can't blame them. there are a lot of suspects on the plane. lots of suspects. >> stephanie: at salt lake city airport, a gun was found inside a passenger's bootstrapped to a prosthetic leg. >> that's a new one. >> stephanie: nice try on that one. most common excuse offered by passengers, i forgot it was there. >> i forgot i'm heavily armed. how lackadaisical do you have to be that you're fet forgetting you're carrying a load one everywhere. i feel naked without it. >> sir, you are naked not wearing any clothing without a gun -- except a gun. >> stephanie: it was in charlotte, i saw a sign that would be a challenge to any comedian in the world. the sign that says no -- the pictures. no gun no knives. >> no jokes. >> stephanie: it said no jokes. past this point. i'm like did it -- past this point? i take that as a challenge. i think there is something that's funny after this point. >> hal: there are a lot of

things. carlin said that. what about a really cute story? no punch line. just a really nice, funny -- how about a limerick? >> stephanie: they had no picture for that. shouldn't there have been a rubber chicken? >> the happy mask. >> there was a young man. >> you're under arrest. >> no comedy for tragedy. >> hal: can you imagine what would happen if a jew a catholic and an irishman walked into tsa together. they didn't say a thing. just walking through at the same time and -- >> stephanie: it was just a set-up. no joke. just a set-up. you can't arrest me. what are you? the premise police? >> you can only arrest the irishman. it isn't a joke until the punch line shows up. >> aboutba-da-boom. >> stephanie: richard in illinois, you're on with hal and company. hello, richard. >> caller: by the way i just discovered this radio station.

i was just flipping channels. i listen to you guys every day. >> hal: we're like oh, here we go again. >> i think you're a very decent person especially when it comes to your views on christians. >> hal: you would be amazed the blowback because they think you're attacking. i think you spent too much time telling me you're persecuted so you think you are. >> it is when you listen to the radio and watch tv news, you feel like they're coming for us! they're going to burn us all at the stake. what i wish you would do, sometimes, i listen to you this trial with zimmerman is about is he or is he not guilty of second-degree murder. it isn't whether it was -- when the racist thing is so dangerous, it is so dangerous to

keep lamenting the racial aspect of this. as parents i myself have lost my 22-year-old son who passed away. the loss of a child -- your mind is no longer able to cope with that particular perspective in your life. you say geez, i'm sorry to hear that. okay whatever. it doesn't even register. so the pain that they're suffering is unbelievable. they have no ability to come out with their lawyer and say please get the racist thing out of this. >> stephanie: richard it seems to me he racially profiled this case and stalked him. >> hal: the reason it is jermaine to the conversation is because it is more common for black people in this country than we believe it to be. that a lot of people assume it to be. and so both on the one side that doesn't believe it is an issue

there is a lot of people who are just shocked that this kind of thing happens or it happens in this context. on the other side, there are a lot of black people who are going of course this happens all the time. it is their constant daily thing. burton yesterday on cnn explaining that he had to tell his son who is i believe 20 something, 21, 22 now, he had to explain to his son when he gets pulled over by the police, he takes his hat and sunglasses off and puts his hands out the window. he's not doing it because he's waving going i'm lavar burton from reading rainbow. he understands there are certain times where he's at risk simply by his skin color and he says i believe that to be the case. it has been my experience in a lot of areas across this country. >> stephanie: because i'm a liberal and it is required by law, i do have a black best friend. >> hal: right. assigned one. >> stephanie: exactly. come on. we all know nobody -- pulled over in beverly hills what are

you doing driving the car? >> my car. i live here. >> license and registration. >> hal: it is used to undermine your comfort in the community to keep you from -- it is meant as this kind of glass ceiling. >> stephanie: by the way speaking of cnn, i was on yesterday talking about paula deen. did you hear about this using part of the prop 8 ruling? >> hal: yes. >> stephanie: we better hope she didn't call someone the f word for gay man. >> stephanie: that's kind of rich isn't it? she didn't have standing to sue her because she's white. if you read the deposition, it was a workplace that apparently was rife with racism and sexism. good for her standing up. wrong to treat black employees like that. she tried to use the prop 8 rules to say you're not black. it doesn't hurt you. i'm only hurting the black

people. >> i don't understand why you care about them. >> i love them like pets. >> in shorts. >> stephanie: i like them best tap dancing in shorts. what did i say? >> hal: what? i didn't offend you. you're white. what the hell. >> stephanie: did you see this thing online? >> in all honesty did you say he was without sin? >> in a round about kind of way. >> at the same time, i is what i is. shut up. no purpose of grammatical rules. i am what i am. you can say that. that's arguing with the fact you used it in the past. you discriminated in the past. you're going to stick with that line. >> stephanie: how about on

"the today show," i've only used it once in my life that word. oh paula! oh no. >> i love her retelling of it. because she says in the original thing she said that she was robbed at gunpoint in a bank by a black man and that she used it in the retelling of the story. >> stephanie: to her husband. as you do. >> hal: she said i used it in that situation when i was in there and i was scared and had a gun to my head. >> stephanie: i'm going to guess you didn't use it at the moment you were being robbed. >> can i say i would give anything in the world to have the outtakes of the paula deen apology video because the edits -- >> hal: it is a remix as it is swig. >> stephanie: porch monkey. what did i say? paula!

>> i didn't know that. >> hal: everybody back to one. >> stephanie: okay. i love me the darkies -- [ buzzer ] cut! >> hal: i'm totally of supportive of dirt people.

[ applause ] >> oh, great. >> hal: in his defense, though he can hear a mouse break wind at 500 yards and has ninja-like abilities. blind to you. >> stephanie: he said he keeps a load gun handy for protection from intruders and in such a situation, he would call out a warning he had a gun and spray bullets in the direction of the noise. [ gunfire ] >> stephanie: what could possibly go wrong there? oh hello little neighborhood girl selling girl scout cookies? >> hal: you shouldn't have

eaten one of the cookies. i'm a child before you were blown away in a hail of bullets. at what point do we move past the idea that your solution will come this way and that you take a lot of responsibility for -- if you're in a circumstance where you need to use a gun that you're partly responsible for putting yourself there and that the rarest of rarest of rarest cases is where a person defends themselves directly with a gun against an intruder with greater force and survives. it is an absurdity. you end up shooting your kids or yourself. or they end up shooting you. >> stephanie: i like to do -- because i'm psychic what the -- what you will probably be seeing on fox news. what the fox. shut the front door. i'm just guessing because this headline is michelle obama living in the white house is like living in a really nice prison. >> they talked about that last night. >> stephanie: did they? i'm not psychic.

i'm behind the times. >> hal: there is a book that just came out. >> i could predict what happened yesterday. >> hal: there is a book about what is it like to be president. >> stephanie: angry black woman. she was discussing with laura bush and moderator cokey roberts said that martha washington once described the first lady role as being similar to state imprisonment. she joked there are some prison elements to it but it is a really nice prison. so, you see everybody it is a joke. not an angry ungrateful black woman. >> hal: clinton said the white house was the pinnacle of the united states penal system. >> stephanie: that's why he had to order bjs in. [ buzzer ] i mean pizza. you started it. you said penal. >> hal: what? >> stephanie: speaking of which -- >> you can't win her. >> stephanie: kennedy says michael jordan took her virginity. in a dice game.

wow. can you lose your virginity that way? >> hal: depends on what kind of dice you're using i suppose. >> stephanie: she was having dinner with michael jordan and russell simmons when michael broke out some dice. said it was time to play something and said if i win, you come back to my hotel room with me tonight. she freaked out she was a vismg and imagined that m.j.'s giant -- would eviscerate me from the inside out. she asked to play for tickets instead. he was reminded he was married and she was offered nets tickets. sure he'll fillet my vag like a sea bass but as soon as i want basketball tickets he's a promise keeper. wow.

>> stephanie: greg in chicago. you're on with hal. hi greg. >> caller: nobody's given me a reason why trayvon martin is allowed to jump on top of a guy who is half his size and pound his head against the sidewalk. following a guy is not a reason. >> stephanie: half his size? >> he was following him with a gun. >> he didn't know he had the gun. >> the gun was concealed. >> hal: says who? >> said the trial. >> hal: according to who? according to the guy who is alive. according to the guy who is alive, a 17-year-old kid with a soda and some skittles jumped out of a bush said why are you following, me, homey. punched him in the nose and said you're going to die tonight and started banging his head against the floor. this is a guy who took mma three days a week, three hours a day and -- >> caller: why didn't he shoot him there? >> if he had a gun out why didn't he shoot him there? >> stephanie: how do you know when did he? >> caller: that's what i said. you're saying he had the gun

out. >> stephanie: we don't know. >> caller: there you go. >> hal: you're taking his word for it. and you're also saying it is perfectly fine that any person who is walking around unarmed just has to kind of acquiesce to death if someone approaches them with a gun. >> stephanie: greg this whole thing can be summed up in the 911 call when they said are you following him? and he said yes. we don't need you to do that, sir. why was he following him? >> caller: that gives you the right to jump on me and start pounding my head on the ground. >> stephanie: you're stalking someone with a gun. and you're calling him -- >> stand your ground. why wasn't trayvon standing his ground? how does that not apply? >> all he had to do was excuse me, why are you following me and stuff like that. then zimmerman said i'm a guard. >> stephanie: he's not a guard. >> hal: you're painting this picture because of how you want it to turn out. >> caller: i've been in the picture.
