6:10 am
department will act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law. i have heard experts say that this will be a tough -- and i really feel like they are in a no-win situation in a way that let's say janet reno and bill clinton couldn't have been because let's see -- [♪ "jeopardy" theme music ♪] >> stephanie: oh, i know they are both black. if you are going to go with what the attorney general said and have an honest conversation about race give me a [ censor bleep ] break. this is all about race. >> fox news doesn't think it was about race. >> stephanie: he wouldn't have followed him if it was a white kid. >> you and i know that. >> stephanie: i saw ben jealous on tv, and he said there is a
6:11 am
lot more evidence that never made it into trial about other people that knew george zimmerman talking about his racism. >> you would think that would have been relevant. >> stephanie: right. >> but no, it is not about race. >> stephanie: right. and i believe he said other black kids in the area that was talking about feeling targeted by him and yadda yadda. this was not a complete mishap. chris wrote a great piece, the former oj prosecutor, he said there may be justice yet for trayvon, and quotes melissa perry who i think has been great on this. that's the one thing we heard on the phones a lot yesterday there is a different reality for black and white parents. black parents instinctively understand about this stuff. somebody wrote a piece about the
6:12 am
black code just what black young men instinctively know in terms of how they should behave -- >> and the clothing that black parents have to tell their children to wear -- >> stephanie: right. the struggles continues, our work is not ever. darden writes, i agree, work on a national level to further the debate over racial profiling must continue. and a lot of people are talking about there are going to be more trayvons and more george zimmermans. it's like open season for racist vigilantlies. and we'll talk about that. this jury was going to write a book about -- it allows you to
6:13 am
basically kill your only witness and go here is one side of the story. here is the other one, oh he's dead. i guess there is no other side to the story. >> and you talk about that or that or that or that or that. >> stephanie: right. he says as a former prosecutor i never would have brought the case to court. but i know it was a victory just putting zimmerman on trial. and he said no doubt there will be a civil suit and he will have to testify. the outcome may echo the oj simpson trial, where he will be forced to testify. african-americans felt justified supporting oj's pay back.
6:14 am
and we were talking about it in l.a., because it came right on the heels of the rodney king trial. but he said oj simpson was no hero framed by the police. he was a cold-blooded killer guilty of a gruesome double murder. he says the election of barack obama pulled us up from the bleak hole created by the simpson trial, and brought hope again. i do not see the same divide with the zimmerman verdict. but the details show real experience. would zimmerman have followed a white teenager? >> no. >> stephanie: racial disparity in killing, demonstrates that black life is not valued like white life in this country. that's our reality. the televised zimmerman trial became a trial about demonizing
6:15 am
trayvon martin. and that's -- you know and you alluded already, chris, you know ginned up and helped by the fox news of the world. >> absolutely. >> stephanie: after the verdict, zimmerman's defense team was deplorable. those lawyers felt the need to spike the football with no regard to the martin family. even in the courtroom he said trayvon martin caused his own death. really? the zimmerman case was a race case. he would not have followed trayvon martin if he were not black. the media did not make this a race case, the family did not make it a race case george zimmerman did. when i look at my son i'm now compelled to take note of how very much he looks like trayvon.
6:16 am
i'm glad it was not my son who ran out for ice tea and skittles and is now dead. in many ways we are all trayvon. that's the thing you think what -- if there had not been even this stupid gun debate if you didn't have the sean hannities of the world championing you, what kind of justice would he have gotten? that's the thing, he became the poster boy for -- and really that's your hero? whether you are a gun right's person or whatever that's your hero? i think i'm even more disgusted than i was yesterday. >> it sounds like it. you had a chance to digest all of this and now you are having indy indigestion

6:23 am
it's how she was calling him georgi. her husband is a lawyer. they were going to write a book like two days after the verdict. it sounded like she was talking to her husband during this thing. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: right now as my hands are shaking, i am so angry, that's how i was when i heard that verdict read. i was so angry i couldn't even think straight, and i can't even imagine how this family feels with this injustice now. if we're going to start hearing stuff about a juror -- she influenced the other jurors -- because it was a split vote at first. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: okay. from -- as a white person, and i'm not trying -- i just have to say this one thing -- >> stephanie: yeah. >> caller: hearing like melissa harry perry on chris hayes last night, this -- not just this
6:24 am
case, it's all of these other cases with black victims or black suspects or possible suspects -- you know, how they are treated, and it's never going to be an equal system because it is set up to be unequal. >> stephanie: yeah, did you hear yesterday that one person was going to vote for second degree murder, two for manslaughter. >> caller: yeah, and i guess it's insinuated that she had influence to change their minds, because they had plans this weekend. >> stephanie: oh, now you have made me remad. >> uh-oh. >> you are wasting my time. >> stephanie: we need to go. because we're going to the central coast this weekend. >> have you ever sat on a jury? >> stephanie: no. >> if you are getting close to the weekend -- >> stephanie: and your attorney
6:25 am
husband wants to go wine wasting. >> and you are close to a verdict, the jury does what it can to hurry it along. >> stephanie: will that will be a comfort to the next family who 's teen george zimmerman decides to shoot. >> remember when i had jury duty -- >> stephanie: who can tell when you are here or not. [ laughter ] >> it was a really mundane case. but the trial started on monday and the jury got their case on friday, and we were out by 5:00. we all agreed so -- >> stephanie: i envision you saying please my boss doesn't
6:26 am
understand the law, she'll fire me if i'm not back on monday. she is a bitch on wheels i'm telling you right now. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: yeah, the president of martin literary agency said my hope is that people will read the juror's book and understand the commitment it takes -- blah blah, blah. the reader will learn why the jurors had no option to find zimmerman not guilty. jim what do you make of that? i have heard a lot of legal experts say he was overcharged. because of the burden of proof they should have gone originally with manslaughter, because i did say that made it look -- when they did that at the last minute, it made it look like,
6:27 am
never mind how about this? >> but, again, the people on the jury really didn't understand the meaning of manslaughter for the longest time. >> stephanie: yeah, how this is not a slam dunk manslaughter, i don't know. >> he killed the kid. an unarmed kid. >> stephanie: yes, there's that. >> so he killed him. that would be manslaughter. >> stephanie: yes. did you see the prosecutor when asked when you think of zimmerman, what word do you think of? and he said murder. mike in memphis you are on the "stephanie miller show." hi, mike. >> caller: good morning. it's my first time calling. >> stephanie: okay. >> caller: to me i told my mom the same thing, because we were discussing it, like george zimmerman was told not to chase the guy, but he did, so essentially in my opinion,
6:28 am
trayvon martin stood his ground so the prosecution should have brought that up, and, you know, probably had a better case. but especially when it comes to the whole being black thing, especially being in memphis, my dad and mom taught me, being black, especially in the south is trying, because no matter where you go, you are considered a criminal. and i used to walk home at night -- i used to work at fedex, and they used to say keep your hands out of your pocket and do all of these things to prove you are not a threat. and many a time they would stop and ask, where i was coming from? and it was pretty obvious, because you work at fedex, you wear purple and orange all night. and it was pretty obvious -- >> stephanie: who would choose those colors for god's sake.
6:29 am
>> caller: yeah i looked like grimace walking home at night. they were like where are you coming from? and i'm like dude isn't it obvious? >> stephanie: chicks tell me they dig a man in a uniform. let's go to arnold in north carolina. >> caller: steph, what you are doing right now is you are keeping it in the [ inaudible ] what we usually do on racial relations in america. we usually slap a band-aid on it, and move on to the next one. but the chief justice said a long time ago the negro in america has no rights that the white man will ever respect. >> stephanie: yeah. all right. twenty-nine minutes after the
6:30 am
hour. right back on the "stephanie miller show." agenda, actually supporting one democrats are wrong, they know i'm going to be the first one to call them out. cenk on air>> what's unacceptable is how washington continues to screw the middle class over. cenk off air i don't want the middle class taking the brunt of the spending cuts and all the different programs that wind up hurting the middle class. cenk on air you got to go to the local level, the state level and we have to fight hard to make sure they can't buy our politics anymore. cenk off air and they can question if i'm right about that. but i think the audience gets that, i actually mean it. cenk on air 3 trillion dollars in spending cuts! narrator uniquely progressive and always topical the worlds largest online news show is on current tv. cenk off air and i think the audience gets, "this guys to best of his abilities is trying to look out for us." only on current tv!

6:39 am
dresses preppy but he has an afro, and he said i i'm thinking it is time to tell him to cut the after foe. and i'm thinking really this is where we are at? >> caller: i know it's scary. my granddaughter has a little bit of all of us and i'm worried about her. >> stephanie: i could have been shot because of my hair style but that because of the perm. >> stephanie: didn't your mom rip out entire chunks of your hair -- >> stephanie: no in addition to the afro i had hair that went straight out like this. >> so you looked like a doll that went through the washing machine. >> stephanie: yeah mom,

6:42 am
speech. >> stephanie: he said if george zimmerman was black he wouldn't have been arrested? >> caller: he wouldn't have been arrested. and that was so offensive for every race -- >> stephanie: first of all that is completely inaccurate but he is a douche. >> caller: yes, he is. but stephanie do you all think that possibly maybe the martin family can actually have a lawsuit against the state of florida? because, i mean they withheld this young man's body for three days without his parents being notified of his death. george zimmerman walked the streets for 26 days and the prosecution who are now playing the blame game really didn't do the job that i -- i would figure the taxpayer's money pays them to do >> stephanie: yeah and the drug and alcohol tested trayvon and
6:43 am
not george zimmerman. >> caller: exactly. none of his domestic violence history was admissible yet trayvon's marijuana usage was able to be heard by this jury. >> stephanie: yeah, and the other thing is in terms of the whole race thing, give me friggin' break. if this was a white frat guy would this have gone down like this? >> caller: yes. so you guys keep doing what you are doing. you are making a positive stance in america. >> stephanie: oh, thank you. >> caller: and if they consider you a race traitor you are more than welcome to come to the other side. >> stephanie: listen, i'm down with it. >> you'll be the honorary black lady. >> stephanie: i'll go back to my '70s hair. >> am i the only one that thinks that mark o'mara is just a mealy

last night. and she said he occasionally smoked marijuana, but he never expressed aggression. he said in my area weed didn't make him go crazy. it just made him hungry. but, again how is that relevant. and she said it was racial, let's be honest. if trayvon was white and had a hoodie on would it have happened? and then she reacted to people making fun of her on the way she speaks or whatever. eric holder yesterday. >> the justice department shares your concern. i share your concern.

6:54 am
afraid of white people. affirmative action. they are getting their country back in the worst kind of way, and people really need to look at it. and also women they have to stay in the kitchen, make less money, stay pregnant so we're going back to beaver cleaver days. >> stephanie: yeah, and not the good kind of beaver. this weekend, he writes the ruling is complying with florida law. because they didn't technically use the stand your ground but the burden of proof was on the state to prove that zimmerman didn't reasonably believe his life is in imminent danger. according to florida law he did not initially provoke --
6:55 am
