going to drop considerable. competition between plans is going to drive down costs as anticipated and an new report to be issued today will show that in 11 states the silver or middle plan will be on average 18% less than anticipated. the good news also coming at the same time that the house has passed two new total waste of time bills that call on congress to ignore the employer contribution, that would be 38 and 39 that the house gop has tried to dismantle the affordable care act. and president obama issued a statement wishing nelson mandela a happy birthday. he is battling a reoccurring lung infection. he is still in the hospital but

half turned and it popped out of place. >> stephanie: ow! and then did you start crying and say why? why? why? >> no, i had what is often called in the menopausal community, a hot flash. and i immediately started sweating through all of the clothing in a very cold restaurant. >> stephanie: that is a very sad story. >> so this was a public place. >> no it was in a restaurant. >> stephanie: that is just a sad little story. >> so now that liz chenny is running for senate i know her was vice president, your dad ran for vice president. >> stephanie: right. >> i realize you often wanted to run for the city of new york. >> stephanie: sure.

what? >> but your itchy kitty past and with anthony weiner and eliot spitzer running you don't think you could just throw your hat in the ring? >> stephanie: i'll take that under advisement. you tweeted about this -- it's kind of hilarious that there is a little inconvenience of a sitting republican senator that is not retiring. >> if there's anything that we're getting out of this mess is chris matthew's pronouncing the name incorrectly far more often on air. liz cheeny wanted to pick a state where she would have the best path to victory but standing in the way is her dad's best friend.

i'll be interested to see if she keeps her distance from being available to people. but when you only have 110,000 people available in a primary, i don't see how you can avoid interacting with people. >> stephanie: plus she is a carpet bagger. >> i believe that is her sister actually. >> stephanie: somebody said you don't have to keep saying hashtag god's country. >> no, this -- i cannot wait for her first mistake on -- on geography or -- you know something very specific that people in wyoming would know about. >> stephanie: right. >> the only upside here is that like senator portman from ohio she is in favor of marriage equality, because she has a gay in her family.

>> stephanie: right. and then wrong about everything else. you also tweeted about britain's marriage equality. >> fantastic news, and if you haven't seen the queen dressed in the rainbow flag is great -- >> stephanie: really? >> no, this is just over time. a picture of her in red, and then over time all of the colors. >> stephanie: i get it. >> fantastic news. and one again, the queen, leader of a 600-year monarch is ahead of the american people. what does that say about our country? the colonies got it wrong. >> stephanie: well, she is a queen in the first place. how gay does the house of lords sound? >> in the scheme of things this brings us one step closer.

there are now 600 million people in this word that can live in a place with marriage equality is the law of the land and five years ago that number was barely breaking 100 million. >> stephanie: yeah. by the way, you tweeted -- you say word is virginia's anti-choice, bob mcdonal is planning to resign to avoid a felony charge. >> well, apparently that was a rumor. but it is probably worse that he is the not planning to resign to avoid being prosecuted, but he'll end up going to jail. the story gets deeper and deeper, and it's epidemic of the republican party in virginia. there was a big story about gary killgore, who used to be the attorney general of virginia and the current attorney general of virginia is running for

governor. so it's very difficult for republicans to distance themselves. they have a hold on the majority in the legislator there. it would be very nice to see mcdoneal take the entire thing down with him. >> stephanie: kelly in ohio you are on with karl. >> caller: hi, karl, i want you to forget all about your little knee problem. because i got you whipped. >> i don't mind whippings. >> my leg got crushed monday between my atv, and a 10-ton road grader. >> stephanie: what is a road grader? >> caller: he was cleaning the ditches along our road, because we have had a lot of rain here. >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: oh, boy. >> caller: and he cut my phone line, and i jumped on the atv to go down and tell him, because he

does it every summer, and i was trying to get his attention in his side view mirror, and he stopped in the middle of the road all of a sudden and i didn't have time to stop because i wasn't expecting him to stop, and all of a sudden his backup signal came on, and i panicked and i hollered and i didn't have time to back up because i was sliding in the gravel, and he just plowed into me and started pushing me back and crushed my leg between the machine and the atv. >> that's a much better story. >> stephanie: that's a way more macho story. >> hashtag god's country am i right? >> stephanie: exactly. i thought that would make you feel better, but her story was much more macho than yours. >> well, the story is i got hurt hang gliding so she must have crushed her leg like dropping a

karen you are on the "stephanie miller show." >> caller: hi, yes. all of the wonderful people on the right quoting all of these baseball verses. i have one , when i was a child, i spoke as a child, i understood as a child, and i thought as a child, but when i became a man, i put away childish things. trayvon martin was a child. he understood and thought as a child when this man was following him and he was frightened, and when he confronted him, he reacted just like anybody else would. >> stephanie: eugene robinson wrote a great piece about that. that that is exactly right, he was a child. he is scared and trying to -- you know, he put on -- you know, that pretense of -- you know, not being scared and he obviously was. >> caller: right. but george zimmerman was a grown man but he was still thinking as

a child, because he had his little gun and he was going to be the schoolyard bully. if george zimmerman -- or excuse me -- if trayvon martin had been a 6'5", 200-pound man, george zimmerman would have stayed his butt in the truck like the police told him too. >> stephanie: yeah, thank you. let's go to donna. >> caller: hi. >> stephanie: hi, go ahead. >> caller: oh, my god -- i wasn't expect it to be so quick. i wanted to tell you a story about one night -- we live in the country, everybody has at least an acre. we have sidewalks and horses that go by. we have people that push their babies and buggies. everyone doesn't know each other. but one particular night at midnight, i heard screaming in the streets from kids. and a girl said i'm going f-ing

kill you, so i called 911. the operator says what do you hear? i said there are children in the street, i can't see that far. i'm not going out, i don't know if it is anything, or if it is just a bunch of kids that snuck out, but i'm calling you. and my husband wakes up, and he is loud, and he said i'm going out there. and the 911 operator says do not let your husband go outside. and i said she doesn't want you to go outside. and he said i'm letting the dogs out. and i said no you are not. and she said please don't let the dogs out the cropsops on the way. the children moved down the street, the neighbor has a gun, and he calls my husband saying he almost got him shoot because he was in his driveway cocking

his gun -- you can't see out here, but you don't go running into a crazy -- and we listened to the 911 operator and my husband said, my wife -- the dogs are going to wake us up and my wife is going to call 911 if we have a question. >> stephanie: yeah, it seems to me anyone with any common sense doesn't go running into the middle of something like that. i didn't believe why people think george zimmerman was some kind of hero. >> caller: that could have been a bad situation that night, the dogs could have got killed or hurt, my neighbor yelling at me because he almost got shot because he is standing in the driveway -- >> caller: and by the way tell your husband he is a jerk for saying let's let the dogs out because then the dogs could get hurt. >> caller: they are my babies. i said to my sister the other

day, if being gay was a choice fill in the blank, with these guys. but we listened. >> caller: right. and don't give me this neighbor watch nonsense. we read the manual, and it specifically says do not do anything. call the authorities. you don't take any action all you do is call the authorities, you know? >> caller: and in our neighborhood on monday morning -- >> stephanie: this is almost like a textbook case of what hand, why the neighborhood watchman yule is written -- manual is written like that. >> caller: absolutely. and people walk their dogs and we have a lot of neighbors that have busy parents, and we don't know them. and they walk down the street. and they are strangers, and if i was george zimmerman i would be shooting all day. it's just crazy.

same calling 911 and see if we get a comparison. at this point of technology, we can do this. >> stephanie: right. right. that's why -- thank god at least the judge disallowed -- they wanted to do this animation of what hand, based on george zimmerman's version. so they could watch that over and over again. i'm like what? that's the problem with this whole case is you are going literally off of one person's word as to what happened. >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: august in florida, you are on the "stephanie miller show." >> caller: hi. okay. my son was on the other side of the gun like in the trayvon martin case -- my son was older, he was 21. he shot a boy who was 17 during an altercation. my son is melono, but he looks white, he has straight hair, he

has white-looking features. the boy he shot -- >> stephanie: i didn't know people still used the word melotto, i thought that was not politically correct? >> caller: that's what i write down on his papers. what do you say then? >> stephanie: i don't know. so what happened? >> caller: my son has a rap sheet as long as my legs because i'm short, but longer than my arm, and i have been going to court with him from the time he was 11 years old up until i stopped at this last incident and he actually ended up pleading out to six-year sentence. but he shot this boy four times in self-defense. four times is not self-defense. they were going to use the stand

your ground law if they went to court. the state of florida also -- my son was a two-time loser. he already had two felonies against him, and the gun that he had, he actually went and bought legally with the waiting period in tallahassee and had a license for. >> stephanie: he has a rap sheathe -- he is a felon, and he was able to buy a gun? >> caller: yes, a legal gun with a license for it. so right there, the -- the da -- i -- you know he caught have brought charges against them, get this, for selling him a gun. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: you understand? because he was already a felon as an adult. right. i got it. okay. that's unfortunate. that was a little bit of an odd story, but speaking of guns -- what i got from that story is he was a felon and was

able to buy a gun. >> i tweeted last night at radio guy chris, why isn't the nra screaming that trayvon martin wasn't armed? >> yeah. >> to protect himself against a stalker like george zimmerman. >> in case you haven't noticed he's black. >> stephanie: yeah, interesting. this is the one gun crime they did not -- not a peep out of them. how couldn't we have had ours a good old-fashioned gun fight. >> yeah, let's have a bunch of people shooting at each other. >> stephanie: not a peep. wayne lapierre nothing? [ crickets chirping ] . >> nothing. >> stephanie: kelly in minnesota, hi kelly. >> caller: hi, i'm calling on the point you are raising right now, which is the gun issue. if george zimmerman didn't have a permit to conceal and carry a

gun, chances are this doughy cop wanna be would not have chased down and shot this skittles ice tea toting black kid. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: i'm a criminal defense case, and the stand your ground was included in the jury instruction. and that had a huge role. those jury instructions is what this case hinges on in my opinion. >> stephanie: yeah, but why nothing that happened all the way up to there was relevant? >> caller: i think that what happened was once there was a confrontation, then the clock started there. that's -- that's what happened. unfortunately the fact that he -- and the defense was

successful in keeping out the first aggressor language from the jury instruction. there is a great article from "huffington post," i think the person's name is al lafair or something along those lines, and there is a great article on how this case was lost on the jury instructions. >> stephanie: yeah, it doesn't seem like it how the one juror said they were split half and half, and then somehow when the jury instructions became back it became all not guilty right? >> caller: right. it sounds like there was some question with regard to the manslaughter instruction, and once that was clarified then they all came back with a conviction. >> stephanie: was that the first mistake? was he overcharged? >> caller: yes absolutely. he was overcharged. and it's unfortunate because again if we didn't have the conceal and carry, there's no

way he would have gone out of that car and went after this kid. if we didn't have the stand your ground law -- and for him to say he didn't know that existed, i think that stretches believability. specially after his instructor testified that he in fact did. but i do have to mention two other things i have heard over the past couple of days on your show. one is the jury of your peers thing, that's for the defendant, not for the victim. >> okay. >> caller: and the jury of your peers is basically -- you know, back in the day when the founding fathers formed the country, you did know who was on your jury now it's basically who lives in your country or your district, and i can tell you that working in minneapolis, i'm a public defender, and i represent a lot of african american clients who have all-white juries all the time. >> stephanie: i see. >> caller: and it's

changing -- and they -- they just have to prove that there was a cross section in the pool, and under -- minnesota has been working to improve in that area and in the past few years i have had more diverse juries, but that is a problem. >> stephanie: yeah, if nothing else, i feel like this has at least prompted a more honest discussion about race. and you cannot say we're a post racial country when stuff like this happens. we're just not. black parents have different conversations a lot of times, unfortunately, than white parents do. >> caller: that's right. and chris was saying why isn't it wayne lapierre saying why didn't trayvon have a gun? but we need less guns and there would be less dead bodies. >> stephanie: george zimmerman is a perfect example of someone that should haven't a gun. >> caller: right. he's a vigilante. >> stephanie: exactly.

are really really good at caving in the senate. so suddenly he -- they have been obstructing these democratic nominees for years. he has no intention whatever so ever of confirming cordray, just business as usual. so democrats are finally have decided they are going to change the rules to eliminate the filibuster for administration nomination. so all is good we have been working for this three for years. we got the votes. so republicans don't quite really believe it is going to happen until at the very last minute where john mccain breaks away from the republicans, does a little maverick shtick, for once it benefits us, and brings a bunch of people aboard.

and mitch mcconnell walks into harry reid's office, and harry reid says i know why you are here. i have got the votes. mcconnell says i'll give you votes on these guys as long as you don't strange the votes. basically saying we'll give you these six votes that we have been obstructing for three years, and then we'll do it all over again. >> stephanie: yeah reid went around mcconnell right? and made a deal with schumer and reid? >> exactly. so what is fantastic about this all, first of all, harry reid stuck to his guns we'll celebrate that when it happened. we were all convinced that they

were going cave. none of us thought that this was going to happen. but what ended up happening is the filibuster is essentially dead, because republicans have now admitted that it can be changed by simple majority votes. it is still in the books, and is still going to be pulled off because republicans are republicans, but now democrats have the precedent where if they stick around and have 51 votes, they can bust through republican obstruction. the filibuster is essentially over now. so then they had this meeting of republicans, and mitch mcconnell is furious. and he comes up yesterday in roll call where he is saying he could have cut beater deal. of course he could not have cut a better deal. we were done. >> stephanie: right. >> so you have bob corker of tennessee basically yell out bull -- this is on the air --

up obstruction with 50 votes plus 1 they can do it, and now you are going to see democrats doing this and instead of negotiating with mitch mcconnell, they are going to start negotiating with john mccain. >> stephanie: yeah interesting stuff. markos before you go i have to get your take on liz cheney in wyoming. salon wrote a place, the republican party has to hit rock bottom, liz cheney is perfect. does she have a chance of winning this primary? it ends like the republican establishment is lining up behind ensy, right? >> there is always a chance. but the establishment is definitely lining up behind ensy. and wyoming -- there's like 17 people that live in the entire state and they all know each other.

literally -- when i go to montana people walk in -- i have a group of people. we walk into a cafe in butte or a cafe in white fish they all know each other. so the sense that this person has lived in new york for decades just shows up because her dad happened to live in wyoming and she has the cheney name, and what she has done is disrespected ensy. i don't think that plays very well, but she is calling him senile. she is calling her a carpet bagger. the entertainment value will be fantastic. >> stephanie: sit back get some popcorn. all right. they you markos. >> thank you. >> stephanie: here is the demon seed now, liz cheney. >> we can no longer afford

simply to go along to get along. we can't continue business as usual as in washington. >> she called him confused. >> stephanie: i see. salon wrote i guess the problem is he isn't a big enough [ censor bleep ] hole. she helped lead the appalling campaign against the ground zero mosque, she accused several justice department lawyers, muslim wannabes. and yikes, her foreign policy just as breathless nervous, aimless belligerence. modest spending cuts at the pentagon, she said what

president obama is doing is something that american's enemies, the taliban, al qaeda have been unable to do which is decimate the fighting capable of this nation. >> whatever! >> stephanie: she is also one of those fantastic people who likes to deny the existence of climate change whenever it snows. this is at the core of what plagues the republican party today. it seems indisputable the republican party is heading towards a reckoning, when decent people take their party back from those like liz cheney who think compromise is akin to -- as alan simpson said. liz cheney is the last shot of tequila before one blacks out.

death. all right. on zimmerman, he has a bloody possible broken nose with none of trayvon's dna in it. zimmerman has blood and bruising on his knuckles consistent with fight, but also none of trayvon's dna. zimmerman's own statement on fox was, i never hit him. now we got no grass, no mud on the back of zimmerman's jacket -- a little bit of grass, but no mud on a rainy night on the back of zimmerman's jack set or his elbows. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: we have two or three small cuts with no bruising consistent with being slammed on the back of zimmerman's head but no bruising consistent with having your head forced to the concrete. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: and then we have finally, the final fact i have

is we have a 90 degree shot to the heart, two to four inches from the body. this is a difficult shot for a pro. the only way an amateur can pull this off is he either has to have total surprise, or total control of the situation. >> uh-huh. >> caller: so my theory is this. zimmerman leaves his vehicle in hot pursuit of trayvon. trayvon once he gets out of site, and cuts down the tea, he runs a ways and then he hides. he takes cover. he disconnects his call to -- to his friend -- >> stephanie: right. >> caller: because he doesn't want his voice to give away his position. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: zimmerman is following. when zimmerman gets to the tree he doesn't see trayvon. he runs on to the next road to try to intercept him from going out the back exit. when he gets there, obviously he doesn't see trayvon, and on the

way back to the tee, he disconnected the call with the 911 operator. okay? >> stephanie: uh-huh. >> caller: because he doesn't want his voice to give away his position, and he doesn't want to tell the operator where he is. all right. the operator is trying to get him to go back to the car, so they can meet him. he hangs up, but he tells the operator, oh, tell them to call me -- instead of telling them where he is or where he is going to be, he says have them call me when they get here and i'll tell them where i am. so he goes back to the tee and he is still searching. trayvon has been hiding for this period of time, maybe a minute maybe two. all right? he's thinking i haven't seen this guy come by so everything is okay, right. rachel on the other hand has been trying to call him back right? he finally takes the call from her. he tells her, i think i lost him, and he comes out of

wherever he is hiding. at this point, he -- he is surprised to find zimmerman still looking for him, and probably too close to him for him to start running again. >> stephanie: uh-huh. >> caller: okay. zimmerman goes into police mode. right. he grabs ahold of trayvon -- trayvon -- trayvon tries to reason with him. what are you following me for, man? he doesn't answer him just like polices. they ask questions they don't answer questions. he grabs the hoodie, trayvon would try to pull back and break the grip. i think he gets his arm caught in his own hoodie string -- >> stephanie: all right. honey, this is getting really really long -- >> caller: all right. let me get to the chase. there was no fight. >> stephanie: yes, i think the injuries are consistent with

that. i don't think that was as zimmerman described. that was a very long explanation. and it may be true. that's the problem when you only get one side of the story. a lot of questions. eighteen minutes after the hour right back on the "stephanie miller show." >> announcer: pull over, you are dwl, driving while laughing.
