base is killed. these people have to go. >> stephanie: yeah, they are no worried about running against democrats they are only worried about getting primaried from the right. >> that's right. you are absolutely right. that's the unintended consequence of redistricting in 2010. it nudged many from fairly moderate to very conservative. so they wake up not thinking about how to move america forward, but how to protect themselves from the far right. if they are worried about a primary from the even further right, that explains why they are so idealogical and unwilling to compromise on any matter. it explains the farm bill and why they will not pass comprehensive immigration

reform despite the fact that 68 republicans have supported it. it explains why they wouldn't vote for relief for natural disasters. >> stephanie: chairman immigration, everybody thought after the unbelievable drubbing they took in the latino vote that they would do it for political survival and now that isn't even helping. >> yeah. if you are a republican running for president, you have made a political calculation that you have got to have immigration reform otherwise you are going to lose 75% of the latino vote. if you are running as governor you make the same calculation. but if you are a house member

you have made the calculation that you have to caterer to your base, and the vast majority oppose immigration reform because they are afraid of the right. my job is to win seats for democrats and get the majority so we can continue to fight for the middle class, and we have done analysis and that is that there are only about 23 republican districts in the entire united states congress that has an incumbent that could be persuaded to vote for immigration reform. all of the other districts it would be difficult because their ideology would permit them or a primary won't permit them to. >> stephanie: right.

they have rejected the bipartisan compromise and what the majority of americans believe. they have rejected what president bush supports. so what i think they have decided to do and they don't exactly invite me to their strategic meeting -- >> stephanie: a grave error on their part. >> right. -- is to break this up into little pieces and have it die a thousand deaths. and our position as democrats is this. we want a solution, and we want a compromise that does secure our borders, but at the same time provides a path to citizenship for those who came here. if we can get it with one comprehensive bill, fine. if we have to break it up into pieces and finally put it all back together at the end of the

day, we'll respect that too. let's just get this solved. >> stephanie: we were talk about the affordable care act, because we have never been where we are politically. you have a law that is passed. it is affirmed by a conservative supreme court justice, and supreme court, and here we have the koch brothers running ads against the affordable health care act. they just never stop scam scam -- campaigning, right? >> yeah their ideology and extremism is a full-time operation. they still don't accept the fact that barack obama was elected in 2008 and reelected in 2012. >> stephanie: when you vote to repeal a law 37 times -- they are terrified that obamacare is working. >> yeah.

>> and again, we have provable numbers on a lot of that. >> look, they are all about tearing it down so despite the fact that the law was passed and president obama was reelected on the affordable care act, they are going to continue to spend time on nonsense. if you are a college student, your student loan rate doubled. if you are a defense worker, you started furloughs last week and they are going to have the 38 repeal of the affordable health care act. stop the furloughs, reduce college interest rates for students, start investing in the middle class and moving this country forward. >> stephanie: i have to ask you, because obviously that's the other big thing about phil

amongst the 300 candidates that they considered. edward snowden met with officials at the moscow airport. the group includes representatives from amnesty international. he again will seek asylum in russia. the russian president said about ten days ago that snowden could stay in russia if he agreed to stop leaking u.s. secrets. snowden then withdrew his request. putin as put the same expectations on the table once again. he has offers or asylum from several countries, but doesn't have a u.s. passport anymore, and it's unclear how he would be able to get there without that. we're back with more news next hour. stay with us. to the fire. are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the

other night? is this personal, or is it political? a lot of my work happens by doing the things that i'm given to doing anyway, by 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. i've worn lots of hats, but i've always kept this going. i've been doing politics now for a dozen years.

i was on cnn when this happened. and to me the real story was this guy didn't get arrested. and there was a few african american radio stations and then more people saying hey, man, there needs to be an arrest and trial here. so to me the fact that he got tried is the real story, and the rest is an epilogue. i find it interesting that fox news is defending a guy who had disobeyed the law, and had previously been arrested for assaulting a cop. they dropped stand your ground. they are not even using it as a defense. the guy is a sad case and i think if he is acquitted, he may suffer a worse incarceration

>> yes. >> stephanie: it seems incredible to lay people. this seems like such an easy case, right? and yet i have heard people all over the place saying i think he is going to walk. what are you thinking? how do you feel about it as you watch today? >> this is a deceptively easy case, but when it comes down it to, it is kind of hard. because you have a fight witnessed by no one but the two involved and one is dead. >> stephanie: yeah. >> you only have the version for the person who is on trial, who has ever motive to fabricate, or as we call it lie. >> stephanie: yes, as is known in legal circles, lying. >> or the term of art. so it's hard, and in -- what zimmerman claims happened, to me there's a lot of evidence refuting -- or there is evidence refuting it that i find

reliable, and then you have liz statements that are all over the place that fight with logic but i didn't immediately come to that conclusion i sat and listened and watched both sides, and i kind of became a growing thing, where i thought he did not need to shoot this kid. but what the jury is going to do? we all know we can't predict that. >> stephanie: yes, not since i turned on the tv after oj and heard one of the jurors say i didn't hear any evidence? [ screaming ] >> or the other one what did domestic violence have to do with it? >> stephanie: oh no. >> it's not like we put on any witnesses about that. oh, wait. >> stephanie: marcia sell us about the manslaughter thing. what does that say to you as a prosecutor? >> that strikes me as the easy road for the jury to take. second degree murder requires

malice under the law, which means ill will. he did not meditate the crime, he went after trayvon because of an intention to do harm an ill will or spite, and then in the course of the fight intentionally shot and killed him. that's second degree, but if you don't believe that if you think that he really was just out there following him, but didn't really -- really didn't have ill will, and got into a fight, trayvon, that he then unreasonably believed was going to cause him imminent death, then you can find him guilty of manslaughter, but if you find that he reasonably believed he was about to die, then it's justifiable homicide, and that's a walk. >> stephanie: marcia doesn't the 911 call with the f-ing punks, and these blank holes. doesn't that show malice

legally? >> yeah, i think it does. but a juror could disagree and say it shows his frustration with the failure of the cops to stop the burglaries in the neighborhood, but it doesn't show that he had -- i'm just trying to give the other side here -- it doesn't show malice against this kid just in a general sense he is feeling frustrated, so they could reason it that way if they did. >> stephanie: do you feel as bad for the foam dummy in the courtroom as we do? [ laughter ] >> nobody has ever brought that up. i was waiting for that to happen. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: i think that's why zimmerman didn't testify, as you alluded, he has a lot of inconsistencies, doesn't he?

>> yeah, he does. the prosecution doesn't have to use all of his statements that he has made to hannity and to the cops and all of that stuff, you don't have to use those statements. you can put on a bare bones case and try to force him up on the witness standard. and if they did try it that way, he would have to take the stand to get a manslaughter instruction. so i thought that was a possibility. but then when i saw all of these states, i thought okay. that's ever. and no defendant is almost ever advised to take the stand, because danger the prosecution will be in there to slice and dice you up. and in this case in particular you have his best possible performance. it never gets any better for him than that so why put him on the stand so he could make a mess?

>> stephanie: are you questioning the judgment of someone who would choose sean hannity as their legal advisor. [ laughter ] >> lawrence o'donnell said george zimmerman said in his statement that he had no regrets, but he regrets talking to sean hannity now. >> stephanie: yeah. how damaging is that legally or in terms of how it is going to play with the jury? do you have any regrets? nope. nope. wouldn't do anything differently. really? >> exactly. >> stephanie: you wouldn't stay in your car so an innocent unarmed teenager would still be alive? >> exactly. that particular statement doesn't have that much force -- although they could legally speaking say that goes back to the fact that he has ill will or spite. but, yeah, it has a gut-level impact. are you kidding me? that and saying it's god's plan.

oh, so you are the hands of god. i think that statement hurts him a lot. >> and very offensive. >> stephanie: yeah, marcia if you had to guess -- first of all what is going to happen today? and what will be the gist of the defense's closing today? >> they will try to dismiss all of these inconsistent statements staying nobody says the same thing the same way twice. and that's true enough. but the problem is the significance of the inconsistencies. if we are out shopping and somebody pulled a gun on us, and then we had to tell the story the next day to the cops we will make different mistakes we will say different things. and those are the kind of

inconsistencies that honest witnesses make. but his inconsistencies are consist consistently mistakes that exaggerate his injuries explain away where he was following trayvon. and those the kind of mistake that shows he is just a guilty conscious and trying to cover his tracks. >> stephanie: exactly. by the way i find your store rhythm plausible. i hate shopping. now if you would have said we were out drinking. [ laughter ] >> i was never going to write a book and show my lead taking a case to trial in the context of a high-profile media trial, because i thought we're done with that. but we're not. and it is a coincidence that my book shows what it is like to be in the spotlight like that.

but it keeps happening over and over again, and this is a new form of entertainment, a reality show if you will. it's a sick thing to say, but it seems to be true. >> stephanie: yeah, and there clearly is a racial element. how big of role is that going to play? >> that's such a good question stephanie. i don't know. the racial role in this case is more appropriate than it ever was in simpson. she didn't divorce him because he was black, and he didn't kill her because she was white. it was hoisted into the mix for the purposes of manipulating the jury pool. but in this case it is legitimately on the table. he is targeting trayvon because he is black. if there was a white guy walking around i don't think he would be blinked an eye. yeah, well if five of the six

burglaries, in the past however long were by african american men. oh, that means every single time -- >> stephanie: yeah to a layperson it seems clear he racially profiled this kid, stocked him, and killed him. that's what is fascinating. the rest of us is like what? he was told to stay in his car -- and he is calling him the suspect, right? >> yeah. >> he is suspected of being black. >> yeah, suspected -- walking while black as they say. and he is calling them this stuff that after the killing -- to the police in his statements. oh, my god. you know, and it is a really clear mind set of what you thought. to me it starts in the beginning when he says he was sitting in his suv with the engine running and the lights on, and he claims

that trayvon martin was circling him and staring him down. really? was he trying to tackle you in your suv? >> stephanie: yeah. >> that's the testimony of his friend. he was on the phone with her, during his last moments just before everything went down with george zimmerman. she heard the beginning of the confrontation, when he said to george zimmerman, why are you following me? and zimmerman saying what are you doing here? and then trayvon saying get off of me. and then the phone goes dead. the question is whether rachel is credible. this brings me to the gender question, which is so fascinating to me. i have asked men and women, and the women find her much more credible than the men do.

no question she had an attitude on the witness standard. this frequently happens. witnesses come in who don't want to be there. they hate being involved. the ones who want to be there are usually trouble. >> stephanie: right. >> but he was also putting her on trial wasn't he? >> i think they were being very hard on her, because she was so crucial. she was fighting with the defense attorney because she was misterable on the witness stand. she explained, i'm though last one to talk to him. i feel horrible about this. i got it. it made complete sense. >> stephanie: and the other thing is this whole -- again, as a layperson it seems so counter intuitive that it was george zimmerman screaming. help, help i have a gun, and you don't. you have skittels.

>> help i have a gun and i'm 50 pounds heavier? [ laughter ] >> stephanie: right. how do you think that is going to play? >> that one is up for grabs. predictably this is a volleyball that would go back and forth over the net quite a bit. and what side it actually lands on -- i'm not sure. to me almost -- from the jump, i heard the voice -- and it sounded like a young boy's voice. teenage guys -- and i had two of them, they -- there's a little cracking to it there's a high register it to that a man doesn't have, particularly a man of his size, and i understand that your voice under stress gets higher, but there's no way

to me that sounds like zimmerman, but lodgely speaking where the jury may fall on trayvon's side of this, is the point you made, stephanie. it was the moment the shot was fired, silence. the screaming stopped. now if you are the one who had the gun -- you are the one who fired the shot, you are still making some kind of sound afterwards. help me, call the police, but there is nothing. >> stephanie: exactly. marcia it sounds like you are predicting a manslaughter conviction? >> i think there's better money on that that second degree. but you never know. but it's also possible that there is an acquittal, and that's why you just don't know what side of things they are going to reason with, and the defense's burden is only to raise a reasonable doubt. >> stephanie: yeah. >> if they feel that zimmerman

really reasonably believed in his own imminent death -- the state has to disprove it. the state has to disprove justifiable homicide as well as prove their own case. and that's a lot. >> if zimmerman does walk he will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. >> oh, yeah. >> stephanie: the one thing that we can all be sure of is your new block killer ambition will be awesome, because every time i get one of your books, one of my friends has thieved it off of me, and i have to beg for another one. thank you honey. >> love you guys. >> stephanie: she is awesome. forty-mine minutes after the hour, right back on the "stephanie miller show." >> announcer: pull over, you are dwl dwl, driving while laughing.
