name for its sponsor michigan republican representative justin amash, the amash amendment is under consideration as part of the overall debate on the defense appropriations subcommittee bill. the president has issued a statement asking house members to reject the amendment calling it a blunt approach that would hastily dismant alkey counter-terrorism tool and not the results of an informed, open or deliberative process. the house considering amendments today that would limit military aid to egypt and to syria. and speaking of the nsa russia says edward snowden is going to be allowed to leave the moscow airport. the nation's federal migration services has reportedly issued an official pass which means that the nsa leaker can lead the transit area where he has been holed up since june 23rd. also reporting that snowden is going to get new clothes. this is all according to a russian source. we're back with more show and more conversation about anthony weiner, i'm sure, after the
6:03 am
break. cenk off air alright in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks! i think the number 1 thing than viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. they know that i'm not bsing them for some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the 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

6:07 am
said i thought we didn't -- there was a war a few years ago so we don't have to care anymore. he said the exact same line. i thought we had this war so we don't have to care about this anymore. >> used to be just the daily show he was stealing from. >> that was my line. >> yes, it was. >> stephanie: he goes into a whole rant about -- certain liberal broadcasters, lie say their name, they doesn't deserve for me to say their name. >> stephanie miller who is a babe on some days. she knows what i mean. >> stephanie: then he talked about -- there is literally this derangement syndrome that they disbelieve -- believe that george zimmerman rescued -- we did a whole comedy bit. i wonder what liberal broadcaster it could be. it was a joke! [ ♪ "jeopardy" theme ♪ ] [ applause ] he did a whole serious thing. that whole shtick we did at the top of the show. chris, of course we made
6:08 am
newsbusters. it would have been mean if they didn't cover it. we moked them with a sharp stick all day yesterday. how many times can i say did you get that, newsbusters? as it turns out, they did! [ ♪ "nbc nightly news" ♪ ] zimmerman derangement for lefties. they hopefully provide a transcript. you know it makes me want to do wow, our show is really funny. i don't normally listen to you when you're here but it is good to see -- i appreciate you. oh, that was good. >> oh, that was funny. >> i missed that somehow. >> stephanie: could i have some comedy -- >> sure. >> stephanie: i don't remember all of the details of this. let's see. oh, well anyway, they start with newsbusters says bad stretch for liberals got worse because george zimmerman decided he needed to get out of a vehicle. then this time, zimmerman rescued a family. [ whatever! ] >> all he did was call 911. that's all did he. >> stephanie: right.

6:10 am
showed up. >> stephanie: they're always so witty, those comments in the comment section at newsbusters. those must be some professional comedy writers. [ ♪ magic wand ♪ ] [mumbling] >> stephanie: like that. our good friend, jacki schechner. jacki schechner is here. we have weiner to talk about. ♪ it's schechner again ♪ >> stephanie: hello, jacki schechner, good morning. >> good morning. nothing like a little weiner to start off the morning. >> stephanie: a little bit. >> from vienna. >> stephanie: can we talk as girls for a minute? oh, my god. really? it was so funny. i got called into cnn early. i was like what happened? because last time, i defended him. you're like oh you know.
6:11 am
what do you call it? everybody deserves a blah, blah, blah. i'm like really? >> did you read the text messages? >> stephanie: i did not. you told me something about choke -- never mind. >> besides the sexual stuff, if my husband was saying to another woman i've met the perfect woman in you. you're smart you're sexy, you are crazy. i'm married to somebody else. he would be getting something other than a press conference, i'll tell you that. >> why did you have to bring the wife up? >> stephanie: he sent the girlfriend the "people" magazine story about the great reformed husband and father he is. check this out. what do you think about me being a family man? >> get me! what are you doing later? >> here's my issue with everybody saying oh, he dragged her up. i'm sorry. but she's a grown woman. she can make her own decisions. this is a choice. this is a decision she made. i don't care what choice he makes or what decision she makes but let's not pretend she's not a grown woman with her own free
6:12 am
will. and there's no victim happening here. what he's done to her as her husband, she's allowed to be angry and upset about that and make her own decisions with regard to that but stabbing up there with him and -- but standing up there with him nobody is forcing a grown woman to do anything she doesn't want to do. total lack of respect for that. >> she looked like she was going to throw up. >> well then don't do it. >> stephanie: this was like in real life, you're going really? like after this public shaming and you know, again with the baby? so many elements of it and i was talking about -- at the top of the hour, the language he used. oh we had this very public thing happen to us. it's like wait a minute, kimosabi. we? you did a really public thing and humiliated your wife again. >> also, in his previous mea culpa, he said there's going to be more stuff that comes out. in this one i told you there would be more stuff that would
6:13 am
come out. but all that happened after the previous press conference. >> stephanie: like a serial killer telling you i told you there would be more bodies. >> he hasn't learned a lesson. there's two problems with this. one is that anybody calling her brave and strong is totally misguided there. is nothing brave and strong by. >> allowing someone to repeatedly disrespect you. i don't think that makes you brave or strong. >> stephanie: i pointed out on cnn last night as a childless loser myself, perhaps i can't judge. the first time she made the choice, she has a baby on the way. okay. i can't stand in her shoes and make that choice for her. now, it just seems like oh my god. >> it is not even that. make the choice you want to make but stop calling her brave and strong for allowing a man to repeatedly disrespect you. that doesn't make you brave or strong. the other part is i know a lot of media people in new york and d.c. know her and like her personally. and lot of them are making excuses for her and lot of them are saying things like it is unfair what he's doing to her
6:14 am
and it is unfair he's forcing her -- like they refuse to say she's taking responsibility for her own choices. and i find that, you know, inherently disrespectful to her as a woman and to all woman to assume we can't make our own decisions. >> stephanie: pop psychology drives me crazy. she works with hillary and hillary taught her, this is the template. you don't know personal aspects of everybody's personal life, you know what i mean, jacki. >> i think the media who know her personally are more inclined -- it is almost like they don't want to believe she would be this much of a pushover and allow herself to be walked on in this way because if you read the messages -- it is so disrespectful and it is so thoughtless and it is not just cheating. cheating is one thing yes. that's a whole other conversation but you're actively having this sexual conversation with somebody that is just outwardly disrespecting your wife and you're in the public eye. >> stephanie: jacki obviously last time, there was no evidence he actually touched anybody.
6:15 am
did he have an affair with this woman? >> no. there was no contact. apparently they talked on the phone. there wasn't any actual -- >> stephanie: because last time, i thought he's guilty of being in eighth grade. i thought it was weird from the beginning, the whole like what are you doing? you're not actually having a physical affair but you're sending pictures of yourself? it seemed weird to me. >> it is disrespectful period. it is a disrespect to their marriage. it is a disrespect to her as a woman. it is a disrespect to their child. it is a disrespect to the people who have put some faith in him as a political figure. he's just a scumbag i'm sorry. i can't forgive -- >> stephanie: certainly goes to his judgment. in terms of the fact that he's staying in the race is almost the most incredible part of it. how can you not look at this and go this guy needs help. he needs some more help. intensive therapy. not in political office. how would you ever trust his judgment? >> exactly. it is a narcissism, really at
6:16 am
the highest level in terms of not appreciating his responsible for his own actions and thinking somehow he's above any sort of culpability for this behavior and you know, i'm disgusted. >> stephanie: i loved him politically. he was great. >> did i too. i thought he was great. >> stephanie: he was a fighter, i liked that about him. that's the hardest thing is i think we all were willing to cut him a break the last time. go okay, he didn't really have an affair. bad behavior. again, when you buy the whole hedemption story now we feel like idiots, right? >> yeah. look i have a real problem with these politicians getting back in after some of this behavior. somewhere along the way, we have to stop forgiving men who treat women poorly. >> stephanie: i understand -- >> we normalize the behavior and we continue to reward the behavior the behavior will continue and get worse. i'm just not okay with that.
6:17 am
i think it is a larger conversation about what we allow in modern day marriage or relationships. it is one thing to make a conscious choice to open it up. it is another if you're disrespectful of your partner. >> stephanie: you were sharing some of the actual texts with me. they're somewhat less than let's say feminist. >> yeah, exactly. >> stephanie: i don't care if you want to talk dirty like -- right? >> that's how i feel. in your marital bed or whatever. >> but if you're sexting with a 22-year-old and you're asking to do these dirty -- something that's just incredibly bothersome about all of this. the role of her -- want to talk about her role in all of this, she is complicit. i don't know and i sort of tweeted it out last night when i first heard because i was on a little bit of a tear, die understand how we can judge a woman's strength based on how much disrespect she allows herself to endure. it is just not the way we want to define ourselves as women. i don't appreciate that.
6:18 am
>> stephanie: the excuse oh, well, it was during a tough time in our marriage. oh okay. i see that's how you work through your problems? like that's an excuse. it was a tough time in our marriage. >> base she was mad about the first time? yes! it was a tough time! >> they have not been married that long. if she's not the woman for you then don't get married. i was joking around with a girlfriend of mine who is also single, next time says someone says why are you still single because i've dated enough anthony weiners to know you don't marry those guys. >> stephanie: that's what i was going to say too. the thought left me. yeah, in terms of -- oh, i know, i think it was the "people" article, talk about delusions of grandeur, the whole -- the two political powerhouse coming together. he said well, you know, people thought it was a little like camelot. i'm like no. no now you're jfk?
6:19 am
you know what i mean? the delusions of grandeur that people were like oh, these two powerhouses coming together and it is the second coming of jfk. anyway. >> how about the guy peeking over the cubicle during the press conference. >> i didn't see that. >> stephanie: i didn't see that. oh god. >> it was like home improvement where the neighbor peeks over the fence. yeah everyone's like who is that guy? >> stephanie: hilarious. all right. jacki schechner, good stuff. i needed you to get that out of your system a little bit. >> i know. i feel a little bit purged and cleansed. thank you. >> stephanie: all right. little emotional colon blow. love you. >> love you too. >> stephanie: 19 minutes after the hour. we roll along on "the stephanie miller show." >> it was so funny in my head when i planned it. >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show."

let's -- it is the equivalent of watching porn. are we now going to start throwing people out of office because they watch porn. >> stephanie: i disagree. it is not the equivalent of watching porn. this is engaging with a real person in the real world who is not your wife. >> caller: she agreed to do it. she was complicit. >> who? abedin? >> caller: it is creepy behavior but to ignore anthony wiener and let a john vitter and these other -- whatever his name is. >> stephanie: david vitter. >> caller: to get off and be a part of the legislative body, be they governors or senators or congressmen -- >> stephanie: no, i agree. i think people on the left, we obviously hold people to a higher standard. i think you're right. republicans -- they defended them. >> absolutely. including the whole creepy diaper thing. >> stephanie: yeah, he got off again and again and again and paid for it. diaper boy.

6:35 am
president. why is it different right? >> caller: actually, that's the tip of the iceberg. this is going to be kind of weird but i'm tying it all to our lack of true source of media in this country at this point. all we have is corporate sponsored media. the zimmerman trial went to -- went into -- went to the jury. i turned on abc flipped over to cbs and then flipped over to entertainment tonight. the opening story on all three networks was the zimmerman trial. while that's all going on, a farm bill was passed that totally gutted what is devastating to people of color poor people. tie in the whole snowden thing to this, too.
6:36 am
these whistle-blowers the reason we have these people coming out and doing these things, we no longer have a trust worthy media system. we don't have walter cronkite to turn on and feel like we're not being played. entertainment tonight is telling me the same thing abc news is telling me, where am i going to go other than you? >> stephanie: i made that point the other night. it is hard to imagine walter cronkite tweeting a naked picture of himself like geraldo did. >> caller: i'm blind. >> stephanie: here is my junk. and that's the way it is. >> john chancellor's junk. >> stephanie: that's the way it is.

6:41 am
decisions. >> stephanie: ya think? a little judgment? let's go to dave in minneapolis. welcome. >> caller: good morning, mama. >> caller: chris' comment is right spot on. his decisions are being run through a filter that has everything to do with himself his own narcissism and whatever his need is for getting some sort of attention from a 22-year-old. the other point of this is what if he said to his wife, look, i don't find you all that attractive so i'm going to send text messages to this other woman who is 22 years old because i get off on that. what do you think of that? >> stephanie: frying pan. what do you think of that? >> caller: isn't that essentially what he's done. he's done it. >> stephanie: bit way a woman like any sentence -- likes any sentence that starts with i don't find you that attractive.
6:42 am
>> anything after that, you feel a pain on the side of your head. >> ow. >> caller: you wake up going why do i have a bandage? >> stephanie: it is like starting a sentence yes, do you look fat in that dress. >> caller: this is a done deal. we're talking about a narcissist. narcissism is extremely difficult to treat. you've got to be on top of it all the time. his wife, you know, god bless her. she's doing -- stand by your man. really nicely. but this guy is -- at this point, he's addicted to his behave and that's all there is to it. he just wants to continue to do this. look at how much risk he was going to assume by continuing to do this behavior. and the other thing is sue in rockville, hey i'm 58. i look in the mirror, i'm glad i see my junk. >> stephanie: nicely done. good for you sir. good for still being able to view your junk. important.

wife. >> anthony has made some horrible mistakes. both before he resigned from congress and after. but i do very strongly believe that it is between us and our marriage. >> no, it kind of has to do with his decision-making skills and he's going to have to make a lot of important decisions as mayor of new york city. >> stephanie: you know what? he could be a great mayor. but you can't expect that this is not going to affect people's view of your judgment. >> stephanie: i don't know. people say oh, is it personal? there's private and there's public. but that's some pretty horrible decision making and we've all made horrible personal decisions. >> you know what? bill clinton stopped once he got caught red-handed. anthony weiner did not. i think that is a -- >> stephanie: i'm sure people would speculate on that. did he stop or not get caught anymore? who knows. let's go to jerry in california. hi jerry welcome.

point. that was my biggest argument for why being gay should have no longer been a court-martial offense or in the intelligence community where you would have lost your job, it was the most blackmailable thing that there was. what they did was they ratcheted that up which created any situation where you had somebody who was gay or could be presented as gay, that was the easiest way to blackmail somebody. and so that's why live boy or dead girl is the way to get -- lose your office. instead of just going you know what, gay people are among us and taking that entire weapon away we, you know, like the american intelligence community ratcheted it up. it became like a hard line. the same thing kind of applies here. i think the public is moving in this direction with anthony weiner, it may have been because of the tipping point with bill clinton. we had to adjust the fact it didn't matter to the job he was doing in office. i think the public is now going i kind of don't care. so the blackmailing issue might
