The Stephanie Miller Show Live! Wednesday 7.22

[1:19] The Stephanie Miller Show. [2:09] I speak for all of us when I say, live your truth. [2:12] Do it, girl. [2:17] By the way, it makes sense [2:18] that everyone's afraid of Melania. [2:20] The last time anyone encountered a wealthy, [2:22] ageless European who was that cold and emotionless, [2:26] it was Dracula. [2:39] Oh, boy. [2:40] Okay. [2:41] Wow. [2:43] Pete Hegseth, now, Chris, [2:45] you know professional bodybuilding. [2:46] Is what, was he oiled up or was he just nervous? [2:51] Why was he so shiny? [2:52] Was he just because he was getting his ass kicked [2:54] by Jon Ossoff or? [2:56] He likes to moisturize. [2:57] Okay. [2:58] He's very, very shiny. [3:01] Probably with the seed of hairless young men. [3:05] Wow. [3:06] Wow, wow. [3:07] Oh, did you see that? [3:09] Because everybody's mocking his form. [3:11] There's a whole article of fitness experts [3:13] saying his form sucks. [3:14] And they're like, how is Lloyd Austin's form? [3:17] I don't know. [3:18] He was busy being a competent secretary of defense. [3:20] He wasn't putting out a homo workout videos. [3:23] Pete Hegseth is the one that invited all this [3:26] by putting out a bunch of videos and right, [3:28] calling all the generals fatties. [3:31] Okay. [3:32] Good morning. [3:32] And beardos. [3:33] And beardos. [3:34] Yeah. [3:35] Let's not forget that. [3:36] We don't mean you, Sam. [3:38] You are, you're our favorite beard. [3:39] Oh, you trimmed your beard. [3:40] I did. [3:41] I figured maybe it'll help me cool off. [3:45] Oh yeah. [3:46] Sam doesn't have AC. [3:49] And it's been, yeah, it's been very warm and humid. [3:51] Yes. [3:52] In Los Angeles. [3:53] All right. [3:54] So the, let's see, where are we from my hate fest yesterday [3:58] on social media? [4:00] Oh, did you engage with anybody? [4:02] No, no, I didn't. [4:03] I didn't get involved again. [4:04] Because, oh, by the way, as a, and what am I? [4:07] According to who is it, Cecile? [4:09] I'm an anti-Muslim bigot. [4:10] I am super happy, Obama and Domi, calling for Netanyahu's arrest. [4:13] I'm glad that it's making all the bigots mad, which is weird, [4:17] since apparently I'm an anti-Muslim bigot because of a joke [4:21] my co-host made 20 years ago, for which I- [4:25] About goats. [4:26] Correct. [4:29] That is a feminist joke, but okay, let's just move on. [4:32] Okay. [4:33] I, again, I didn't, also, I didn't say it, but okay. [4:37] Yes, Bison, summing up on social media, or on Blue Sky, [4:42] what about that one time, when that one guy said that one thing? [4:45] You said something, I don't remember, but what about that? [4:47] Please don't respond to this on social media. [4:51] Yeah, that's it. [4:52] It's the thing, because what do I always say? [4:53] If you agree with everything anyone says- [4:55] You're an idiot. [4:56] Right. [4:57] Walter- [4:58] Have your own opinions for God's sake. [5:00] Yeah, Bill in Tampa writes, [5:02] Dear Mama, I disagree with your agreement. [5:05] What? [5:06] You are sexy, beautiful, smart, funny, and always right, [5:08] except for this one time. [5:09] Mama, you frequently say that if someone agrees with everything you say, [5:12] then that person's an idiot. [5:13] Well, I do agree with everything that you say, [5:15] except for that particular statement. [5:16] I guess that means I am not an idiot, [5:18] even though I agree with you on everything else. [5:20] However, because you are now wrong about something, [5:22] I'm afraid I can no longer listen to your show. [5:24] Yeah! [5:25] We got a lot of those. [5:26] Do you have a Stephanie is wrong shirt? [5:28] I want to buy one before I leave. [5:30] No, we have a Chris is wrong shirt. [5:31] Would you mind autographing it for me? [5:33] We have a Chris is wrong shirt. [5:34] Will that, will that work? [5:35] Yeah, just get that one instead. [5:38] I'll sign it. [5:41] Okay. [5:42] Oh, this, oh, this is now I'm getting hate from the other side. [5:45] This is a, let's see, just cause I want to make sure that I, [5:48] people understand that everyone hates me. [5:50] So you're not alone. [5:51] Okay. [5:52] Uh, this let's see, uh, would be Diane, uh, love listening to you since 2004 ish, [5:57] but your recent adoption of anti Zionist talking points leads me to listen less and less. [6:04] I just have to chew on that for a minute. [6:06] Anti BB Israelis agree, but genocide, these are libels and stoke anti-Semitism, [6:13] not just anti-Zionism. [6:15] Just please be more careful. [6:17] Okay. [6:18] I don't, you know what? [6:19] I would take that to heart if I understood even what you mean, but. [6:22] We suggested that maybe BB stopped killing children. [6:26] Right. [6:27] Correct. [6:27] We didn't say the word genocide, nor did we say apartheid yesterday or the day before. [6:32] All right, Laura, just with a recap, so we can bring everyone up to date in case you happen to miss yet. [6:37] If you missed yesterday, you can't miss a minute of the show. [6:39] Cause you need to know why everyone is mad. [6:41] Hates me, right? [6:42] For some reason, going back 20 years and going forward 20 years for things, not necessarily I said, [6:47] but I was in the vicinity and so you can see why that's on me. [6:53] Let's see. [6:54] Laura says, so let's recap. [6:55] Listeners were upset during Monday's show about something that wasn't actually said or implied, [6:59] but no one had a problem with the hypothetical idea of Chris saving babies from being crushed under cars [7:04] so Chris can eat them for extra protein. [7:06] Yes, that is correct. [7:07] Not one complaint about that on social media about baby eating Chris LaVoy. [7:12] Babies are tasty. [7:14] Okay. [7:15] They have adrenochrome. [7:18] Stop it. [7:19] That's going to end up on Newsmax later. [7:24] Wow. [7:28] Okay. [7:29] We get some pub if we hit Newsmax. [7:31] All right. [7:32] I stopped talking so they have an edit point there so they can just take that hunk out. [7:38] You're welcome. [7:40] You want Sam to take that hunk out? [7:41] Lippers eat babies. [7:42] Pardon? [7:43] Do you want Sam to take that hunk out when we post it? [7:44] No. [7:45] Just leave this whole mess intact. [7:46] Leave the whole baby eating thing in there? [7:47] Yeah. [7:48] Yeah. [7:49] Sure. [7:50] Yeah. [7:51] A lot of selective outrage going on these days. [7:52] Oh, you think? [7:54] Okay. [7:56] Also, speaking of things that are not true. [7:58] Apparently, I know this is going to shock people that Republicans are telling a lie, [8:02] but you do not need ID to eat pasta at Olive Garden. [8:05] I know. [8:06] Isn't that weird? [8:07] You do. [8:08] A bunch of people on social media said, [8:10] I just called my local Olive Garden. [8:11] Turns out you do not, in fact, need ID for the never ending pasta. [8:14] This entire administration is so up. [8:17] That is, I am at Olive Garden's website right now. [8:20] They said, well, first of all, the never ending pasta pass is currently unavailable, [8:24] but there's pages. [8:25] So you, hypothetically. [8:26] Their page is still up. [8:27] And they said, they have an FAQ. [8:30] And one of the questions is, can I share my never ending pasta pass with a friend or [8:33] a family member? [8:34] The answer is no. [8:35] The never ending pasta pass is only for use by the pass holder whose name is printed on [8:39] the pass. [8:40] Passes are personalized and non transferable without authorization. [8:43] Pass holders must present a photo ID along with the pass at the time of order. [8:47] Okay. [8:49] So those people are incorrect. [8:50] Well, I, you know what? [8:52] I'm going to call some of my local, do we have local Olive Gardens? [8:55] There's, I think there's one in Burbank. [8:57] Okay. [8:58] I've never been to one, but I'm assuming we, yeah. [9:00] I mean, we have better Italian restaurants close by. [9:03] Yeah. [9:04] It probably depends on the place, right? [9:06] Like, but the other thing is they make it sound like just to go in and eat pasta, you [9:11] need that. [9:12] That is absolutely not true. [9:13] That was what they keep saying. [9:14] Never ending pasta pass. [9:15] It's any, any like, you know, right. [9:16] Business that has a pass that wants you not to share it with, you know, it's like sharing [9:20] your streaming or. [9:21] Well, it was a very special limited promotion. [9:23] It costs a hundred dollars for the national, for the, uh, never ending pasta pass, which means [9:27] you can get pasta for, I don't know, a certain amount of time. [9:30] Right. [9:31] I'm just like, can I just say I'm enjoying all of the, uh, Olive Garden posts on social [9:36] media? [9:37] Uh, Corey said today, I'm reminded when I was in high school and my buddies and I went [9:40] to Alvar, Alvarado street in Los Angeles to buy fake IDs so we could get the never ending [9:45] pasta bowl at Olive Garden. [9:46] Yes. [9:47] A lot of, uh, you go to Santee alley to get the fake IDs and not Alvarado street. [9:51] Remember that's, that's where I did that. [9:53] We filmed for my late night TV show me, uh, in a Spanish dress playing the guitar and singing [9:59] Alvara. [10:00] They spelled it wrong. [10:01] Yeah. [10:02] It's Alvara street. [10:03] Yeah. [10:04] Alvara street. [10:05] Okay. [10:06] Which I love. [10:07] So I, I filmed, uh, I was in a Spanish dress and singing in Spanish. [10:09] No, no, no, no, no. [10:10] The joke was supposed to be that I'm on every channel. [10:12] Like we did a thing with me on the fishing channel, fishing over in that little reservoir [10:17] in Franklin Canyon. [10:18] And so then this, we went to Alvara street for me to, to pretend that I was on the Spanish [10:23] language station as well. [10:25] And all the, all my crew could hear everybody standing around all the people. [10:29] They're going, she can't sing. [10:32] And she can't, she can't speak Spanish. [10:34] What? [10:35] Who is that? [10:36] It caused quite the commotion. [10:37] I bet it did. [10:38] Yeah. [10:39] White lady in, in a, in Mexican outfits trying to sing Spanish. [10:43] Yes. [10:44] It was a running joke that I was on every channel. [10:46] We filmed a lot of little. [10:47] Okay. [10:48] Listen, other, other things that I will now. [10:50] Oh, by the way, I'll be called an anti-Latino racist for doing that 25 years ago. [10:55] 25 years ago. [10:56] I'm sure someone's going to dig up. [10:57] 25? [10:58] No, 30 years ago. [10:59] I'm sure someone's going to. [11:00] Is there any statute of limitations or no? [11:01] No. [11:02] No. [11:03] Not for TV. [11:04] Okay. [11:05] Someone's going to dig up that, that footage. [11:06] Oh boy. [11:07] Okay. [11:08] Well, best of luck to me. [11:09] Do they still have it at Buena Vista television? [11:10] I don't know. [11:11] Yeah. [11:12] I'm sure Disney has that all on lockdown. [11:14] That gold, that comedy gold. [11:16] They were so proud of it. [11:19] Exactly. [11:20] All right. [11:21] Also, by the way, speaking of panic on social media, the minute we post, [11:24] who's on the show. [11:26] Malcolm's not here today. [11:27] There was. [11:28] Where's Malcolm? [11:29] Okay. [11:30] He's going to be in the air right now. [11:32] Coming back from a secret mission. [11:33] We can't pay guests. [11:35] So they do it out of the kindness of their heart to get promotion and blah, blah, blah. [11:41] Right. [11:42] Mostly because they love me. [11:43] Well, that's. [11:44] As you can imagine. [11:45] People. [11:46] This will come as a shock to people. [11:48] Sometimes travel, sometimes have other things going on. [11:51] Appointments, family commitments, things like that. [11:53] So Malcolm will be here tomorrow. [11:55] Okay. [11:56] Tomorrow. [11:57] Malcolm will be here so you get extra man meat tomorrow. [11:59] Yes. [12:01] Along with Alison Gill tomorrow. [12:02] Yes. [12:03] Alison Gill in for Dana tomorrow. [12:04] Don't panic. [12:05] Dana is on the road very often doing stand up. [12:08] Dana is Jewish. [12:09] Oh, yes. [12:10] That's right. [12:11] That was the social media directive to Chris to not book any more Jews. [12:15] So that was. [12:16] Yeah, we'll just say that's it. [12:17] Let's just say that's it. [12:18] So we can start a new controversy. [12:20] We are in so much trouble. [12:21] Oh my God. [12:22] So the person that. [12:23] What was the thing she said? [12:24] I'm engaging in anti. [12:26] What? [12:27] Anti-Zionism. [12:29] What does that mean? [12:30] You're against the state of Israel. [12:33] Oh. [12:34] With my recent adoption of anti-Zionist talking points. [12:36] Right. [12:37] That's why I canceled it in Goldberg for tomorrow. [12:38] I think blood libel was in there. [12:40] You've never mentioned blood libel at all. [12:41] I don't know. [12:42] Okay. [12:43] That was dumb. [12:44] Or alternatively, Dana is traveling. [12:45] And so her co-host Alison Gill will be here. [12:47] Or she's on vacation. [12:49] Sometimes you just want a break. [12:51] Or Chris just doesn't like Jews. [12:53] Okay. [12:54] Okay. [13:00] Listen, you know, controversy itself, Chris, you know, water cooler talk. [13:05] Don't insert me into your controversy. [13:07] Let's like deliberately try to get the other side mad at us every other day. [13:11] So social media is entirely because, you know, I get called all of it. [13:15] Every time I say something nice about Mandami, I'm a, I don't know, socialist, [13:20] the communist that's going to destroy the party and our chances in November. [13:23] And then if I like Karen Bass, I'm a neoliberal establishment hack. [13:28] I can't keep track of what I am. [13:31] So thank you, social media for your. [13:33] Just don't engage. [13:35] Okay. [13:36] I, by the way, I have asked and asked, can people please send us new fart songs? [13:40] We only. [13:41] I searched this morning. [13:42] We can only do Yankee Doodle Fart. [13:43] I searched this morning. [13:44] So much. [13:45] There's not a lot. [13:46] There's a perfectly good entire album of fart songs that we misplaced somewhere. [13:49] 30 years ago. [13:50] 30 years ago. [13:51] Back when Jim Ward was apparently a racist, sexist, something that. [13:56] Okay. [13:57] Okay. [14:01] I was. [14:02] Yeah, go ahead. [14:03] I was not that concerned about cyclospora until Bobby Kennedy said everything is. [14:08] Yeah. [14:09] Yeah. [14:10] He's like, you know what? [14:11] He's like, what's his name in front of the fireworks factory? [14:14] Everything's fine. [14:15] It's blowing up behind him, except it's diarrhea. [14:17] It's explosive diarrhea blowing up behind him. [14:19] And he's like, things fine. [14:20] Nothing more to see here. [14:21] Go home. [14:22] Frank Trebin. [14:23] Frank Trebin. [14:24] He said, we do have the outbreak under control. [14:25] He is the Frank Trebin of cyclospora. [14:27] He called criticisms of the government's response invalid. [14:33] Oh, okay. [14:34] Thank you. [14:36] We will take that into under consideration while we're Satan's flames are shooting from [14:41] our anus all day. [14:42] Maybe they'll make lemons out of lemonade and fill the reflecting pool with diarrhea. [14:46] Cause we have an excess of diarrhea right now. [14:48] You're a big picture guy. [14:49] I am. [14:50] Big thinker. [14:51] Big ideas. [14:52] Last year. [14:53] I don't know. [14:54] Not that this is connected to the ass malfeasance anywhere in brain down there, Brainerd or [15:01] anywhere. [15:02] But last year, federal health officials scaled back the foodborne diseases active surveillance [15:06] network. [15:07] That seems important. [15:08] That sounds important. [15:09] Doesn't it? [15:10] A program that has tracked food poisoning infections in the United States for decades. [15:14] But other than that thing, the criticism of the government is invalid, says Bobby brain [15:20] worm. [15:21] So there you go. [15:22] Move along. [15:23] Nothing more to see here. [15:24] Okay. [15:25] As the fountains of diarrhea go off. [15:26] Shooting off behind him. [15:28] Yeah. [15:29] All right. [15:30] Hey, we have two servings of man meat today and that's going to have to be enough because [15:36] hour three is going to be almost all soccer. [15:38] So get ready for it. [15:39] Carlos Oz Rocky here. [15:42] Yes. [15:43] And Bob Seska. [15:44] So that's a lot of man. [15:45] It is. [15:46] Yeah. [15:47] Take it. [15:48] 20 minutes after the hour. [15:49] You can give the time slide to Hunter Biden. [15:50] I just don't think the sound will be good. [15:51] Good morning, sir. [15:54] Good morning, sir. [15:55] Good morning. [15:56] How are you? [15:57] Yeah. [15:58] I agree with you. [15:59] It's everything you've said on social media as usual. [16:01] I think Chris and I have an equal crush on you. [16:03] So I don't. [16:04] We've not as much as Jenny or call. [16:06] Jenny in Baltimore. [16:07] Yeah, I heard about that. [16:08] I heard about that. [16:09] That's horrifying. [16:10] Yeah. [16:11] Yeah. [16:12] Listen, I just want everybody to know Stephanie Miller called into her own show. [16:14] I don't believe that that's a real person. [16:17] So. [16:18] And she didn't deny it. [16:19] Look at her. [16:20] She's blushing. [16:21] We've got a regular, we've got an entire nation committing sexual harassment against [16:26] Mike Nellis on a daily basis now. [16:27] That's right. [16:28] I couldn't be prouder of you. [16:30] You said Trump says he's going to solve the Canadian wildfires impacting our air quality [16:35] with tariffs. [16:36] He really is a damn moron. [16:37] I. [16:38] You just every day is a new embarrassment, whether it's the World Cup. [16:41] Right. [16:42] Or. [16:43] Right. [16:44] This. [16:45] Right. [16:46] This is the World Cup. [16:47] I'm a former mayor of Canada for the wildfires yesterday morning. [16:49] I laughed because I was like, that's a funny joke. [16:51] Like I was like, haha. [16:52] And I'm too stupid to like understand the level of stupidity we're dealing with inside [16:56] this White House. [16:57] Everything that they do is just so ridiculous. [16:59] I don't know if you saw the Daily Beast has a new report out this morning. [17:01] Taylor Farms, which is, you know, was responsible. [17:04] They said for the massive explosive diarrhea outbreak we have in the country right now. [17:08] Then they walked it back. [17:09] Turns out they only walked it back after they went and met with the White House and gave them [17:12] a bunch of money. [17:13] So they sold that to them to save Taylor Farms. [17:15] It's just everything is dumb and corrupt and disgusting. [17:18] Yeah. [17:19] And nobody. [17:20] Mike, I mean, this is a problem we keep talking about, Chris and I, that we're going to have [17:24] to deal with for a long time. [17:25] No one trusts anything that anybody in the government says. [17:28] And that's going to be a job for Democrats, isn't it? [17:31] Well, and why and why would you trust anything that the government says your patriotic duty, [17:35] especially in this administration, but certainly just over the last, I don't know, 40, 50 years [17:39] since Vietnam, for sure, has been to question what your government tells you because they lied about [17:43] the Vietnam War. [17:44] They lied about Watergate. [17:45] They lied about Iran Contra. [17:47] Bill Clinton lied about Monica Lewinsky. [17:48] Like, let's just be honest about that for a second. [17:50] They lied about the Wall Street financial crisis. [17:52] There's been no accountability for anybody really at any level for decades now. [17:56] Bringing gravity and accountability back to this class of people, which includes politicians, [18:01] Wall Street brokers, big corporate donors, billionaires, trillionaires like Elon Musk. [18:05] It's the number one thing we have to do because it's the root of all of the problems in the country. [18:09] Yeah. [18:10] Yeah. [18:11] And Mike, funny you bring up Vietnam because you were all over this on social media. [18:14] Here we are again. [18:15] They're lying about the number of casualties. [18:17] They're lying about the cost of the war. [18:19] You know, Pentagon denies New York Times report it's concealing military injuries. [18:24] But, you know, you have you said beyond the obvious, the worst part of two more service [18:29] numbers being killed. [18:30] Well, it's actually three as we know now is that Trump and his neocon allies are getting [18:34] exactly what they want. [18:35] They want this death. [18:36] They want this violence because to them it justifies the illegal war they're profiting [18:39] from. [18:40] Trump said it out loud. [18:42] We're doing great. [18:43] We're making a lot of defense contractors making a lot of money. [18:45] I mean, you had a Fox general. [18:48] Where is this one? [18:49] Say he predicts the Iran war could last 20 years. [18:52] I mean, this is he said, I do expect we're going to be there a long time. [18:58] You know, Operation Northern and Southern watch went on for almost 20 years, I think. [19:01] So this is going to be something similar. [19:03] We're going to have to stay there. [19:04] Oh, my God. [19:05] How many times have we heard this, right? [19:07] Right. [19:08] Well, first of all, they keep telling us that we're broke. [19:10] There's no money to do anything that might help actually improve your life. [19:12] But there's never ending pile of cash for defense contractors to create more bombs [19:16] to blow things up halfway around the world. [19:18] I feel bad for the people of Iran. [19:20] I have zero sympathy for the government. [19:21] The government is tyrannical. [19:22] I'd be happy if they fell. [19:23] But I don't think that's our job in here. [19:26] And I think the thing that makes me the most angry about this is, frankly, the same thing [19:29] that made me mad during the Bush administration is that they treat our U.S. service men and [19:34] women who are braver than I am because I'm not going to serve overseas. [19:37] I didn't want to do that when I was 18. [19:39] They treat them like they're just numbers on a sheet of paper. [19:41] These decisions should haunt you for the rest of your lives, even if they're the right decisions. [19:45] OK, if you read about Lincoln and Grant in the Civil War, every decision that they made haunted them to keep the nation together for how much death and destruction that there was. [19:54] Donald Trump sleeps just fine at night. [19:56] I mean, he doesn't sleep. [19:57] Let's be honest about that. [19:58] That's for different reasons. [19:59] But it's not bugging Pete Hexeth. [20:00] They want to play toy soldier. [20:01] They want to play military commander on TV. [20:04] They want to seem big and tough and strong. [20:06] And they're making a ton of money for themselves and for their families and for their corporate donors. [20:09] Everything about this is just disgusting. [20:11] I feel awful for what is it? [20:13] I forget the total number now. [20:15] Is it? [20:16] Is it 18 confirmed? [20:17] 17. [20:18] I'm not sure. [20:19] 17 or 18. [20:20] I feel bad. [20:21] Those families will never be made whole again. [20:22] There's nothing you can do to make that right. [20:24] And you're absolutely right today. [20:25] You know what? [20:26] Many presidents have said that that that's that's should be our number one promise to our troops is to never send them into harm's way unless it's absolutely necessary. [20:35] This was completely unnecessary. [20:37] Stephanie Miller. [22:07] Yeah. [22:20] It is the Stephanie Miller Show. [22:21] Bob Seska coming up. [22:22] Oh yeah. [22:23] Bottom of the hour. [22:24] I don't know what to say Chris. [22:25] Lots of people did call their Olive Gardens and they were told they do not need ID for the pasta pass. [22:29] I don't know. [22:30] I'm not according to Olive Garden's website. [22:31] New York Times Pitchbot says Olive Garden's owners say you do not have to show ID to get pasta at an Olive Garden. [22:36] A guy who f***s himself in public and struggles to pass basic cognitive tests says you do. [22:42] For busy restaurant goers it's going to be hard to know who to trust. [22:45] New York Times Pitchbot is a comedy. [22:47] I know it is. [22:48] Okay. [22:49] That's why it's funny. [22:50] That's why I read it. [22:51] All right. [22:52] So don't. [22:53] Is it too early for hope? [22:54] It's not. [22:56] I don't know. [22:57] I don't think so. [22:58] Hi Seth. [22:59] It's funny in the corner on camp. [23:00] Two things if I may. [23:02] One, I just want to follow up on Sue, the international Jew. [23:06] Yes. [23:07] The national Jew. [23:08] The national Jew. [23:09] The national Jew. [23:10] Right. [23:11] The national Jew. [23:12] I promoted her. [23:14] Is when we talk about the Holocaust, we always say as Jews, never again. [23:22] And in my learnings as a Jew, that meant not only for us, but for everyone. [23:27] And that would include killing children in Gaza. [23:30] But more important, we Olive Garden? [23:33] Yes. [23:34] Why is anybody even going to Olive Garden? [23:38] That's the big story. [23:39] That's the other thing. [23:40] I don't understand. [23:41] As someone said, even your license isn't enough. [23:45] You need a veal ID. [23:46] Get it? [23:47] Buy veal. [23:48] You need a veal ID. [23:49] Yes. [23:52] There are so many amazing Italian restaurants, even just down the street from New Stephanie. [23:58] Yes. [23:59] It's like, there's never a need to go to Olive Garden. [24:01] That's right. [24:02] Go to Farfala's on Hillhurst. [24:03] Oh, Farfala's. [24:04] That's fantastic. [24:05] Love it. [24:06] Love it. [24:07] Been there. [24:08] Been there. [24:09] Done that. [24:10] Across the Olive Garden border are the problem. [24:12] Yes. [24:13] Lots of, you know what? [24:14] It's just good internet fun. [24:16] As is John Osso's ass-kicking of Pete Hegseth yesterday. [24:21] You stated on March 8th, day 9 of the war on 60 Minutes, you assured the American people [24:26] of Iranians surrender. [24:28] Does that remain your prediction? [24:29] Ultimately, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [24:33] So just to review, you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war [24:38] that Iran's military had been, quote, destroyed and made combat ineffective was a truthful [24:43] statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more for [24:47] the conflict. [24:48] The Senator's time has expired. [24:49] That's historic. [24:50] Yeah, your time is off. [24:51] Right back with Bob Seska. [29:33] Not a situation in which oil was flowing freely. [29:37] There was no conflict. [29:38] We went losing personnel as a result of Iranian actions. [29:42] So your fallback to the Biden administration is just a very, very obvious excuse for what [29:51] I think is probably, as you described, so often gross negligence. [29:55] This battlefield and all the dynamics of it, of which the chairman and I are responsible [29:59] for ensuring the president understands every branch and sequel of what could happen and [30:02] we did. [30:03] So the fact that those contingencies all were part of the possibility and we understood [30:07] that is all the more reason why President Trump deserves the kind of praise he should [30:11] get for undertaking this effort, having the courage to ensure that crazy Islamists can't [30:16] have a nuclear weapon to hold us at issue. [30:21] Dear God. [30:22] Jack Reed. [30:23] It is so pathetic, Chris. [30:24] Seriously. [30:25] Uh huh. [30:26] Blaming Biden. [30:27] You're blaming Biden for the Iran war. [30:29] Yeah. [30:30] It's pathetic. [30:31] Pathetic. [30:32] Midas Touch, our friends over there, said Trump's own intel agency say the strikes aren't [30:37] working. [30:38] His own troops are getting hurt in numbers the Pentagon won't disclose. [30:41] And his answer today was to tell reporters Iran is begging for a deal while U.S. [30:45] bases quietly empty out across the Middle East. [30:48] I mean, that was pathetic. [30:50] It was a normally pathetic performance. [30:53] And Aaron Rupar said, a deluded Trump makes clear there's no end in sight to his quagmire [30:58] in Iran. [30:59] Trump lashed out at a reporter who accurately pointed out to him that Iran shows no signs [31:02] of being defeated. [31:04] He said, you don't know anything. [31:05] Said he's honored to go to Dover for the transfer of the remains of soldiers who were [31:09] killed. [31:10] Threatened further escalation saying they haven't seen anything yet. [31:13] We've been nice. [31:14] He concluded by asserting truly it's the golden age. [31:17] Dear God in heaven. [31:18] Yep. [31:19] And can I just say, is it possible to add more gold, tacky gold to the Oval Office? [31:26] It looks ridiculous. [31:28] That's the visual reminder that he's only surrounded by sycophants and yes men. [31:33] Does anyone think like, oh yeah, that looks great, sir. [31:35] You know what? [31:36] Just a little more gold. [31:37] Pardon me. [31:38] He does it himself. [31:39] Yeah. [31:40] With his little glue stick. [31:41] Yeah. [31:42] Right. [31:43] All right. [31:44] We are, uh, Bob says cause internet is down. [31:45] We are, he's, uh, I think we're going to do the old fashioned calling way. [31:48] There's someone. [31:50] Yes. [31:51] We'll, we'll see. [31:52] Oh, also there was, um, some, uh, discussion over Pete head says hair. [31:56] Of course. [31:57] You're a, and Sam, you guys are men. [31:58] I have. [31:59] Is it because someone said. [32:01] I am not an expert on hair. [32:02] Okay. [32:03] Well, you're a man. [32:04] People think it's Dippity Doo. [32:06] Some people said Brill Cream, but I don't understand. [32:08] Isn't that like a, I don't even realize men still did that. [32:11] Whatever it is. [32:12] He, uh, yes. [32:13] And James had to say Dippity Doo is an iconic, widely popular hair gel brand that first launched [32:17] in 1965. [32:18] I got it. [32:20] Could be Brill Cream. [32:21] Could be. [32:22] I'm going to go with Dippity Doo. [32:23] I mean. [32:24] Because that's what a manly man would do. [32:25] Or. [32:26] He would Dippity Doo it. [32:27] Dipp. [32:30] Here we go. [32:31] Speaking of dreamy, hunky men. [32:32] Why? [32:33] Bob Seska joins us now. [32:34] We interrupt this program to bring you a special broadcast. [32:37] You're cute and I love you, Bob Seska. [32:38] Nah. [32:39] Bob's calling us. [32:40] He's calling us. [32:41] Washington, D.C. [32:42] Go ahead. [32:43] Washington, D.C. [32:45] Just follow the money. [32:47] Well, that is a giant waste of eye candy. [32:51] Good morning caller. [32:52] Good morning caller. [32:53] Oh my God. [32:55] I'm here like Gilligan pedaling a bamboo bicycle. [32:58] Trying to get my technology to work. [33:00] Oh no. [33:01] Oh, but believe me. [33:02] We know from technology problems. [33:03] That's all right. [33:04] So. [33:05] That's all right. [33:06] I'm glad you could join us. [33:07] Thank you for coming. [33:08] Yes. [33:09] I'd like to thank the fine folks. [33:10] I'd like to thank the fine folks at Xfinity for deciding to do routine maintenance right [33:13] in the middle of the week. [33:15] So perfectly timed. [33:16] Well done Xfinity. [33:17] I like this. [33:18] It makes me feel like Larry King. [33:19] Hello. [33:20] Caller. [33:21] Go ahead. [33:22] Bob from D.C. [33:23] I know. [33:24] It's like old times, isn't it? [33:25] Yeah. [33:26] Go ahead, Bob. [33:27] Okay. [33:28] Your thoughts. [33:29] Is it Dippity Doo or Brill Cream in Pete Hegseth's hair? [33:32] I can't decide. [33:33] It's Dapper Dan. [33:36] I think Pete Hegseth is a Dapper Dan man. [33:39] Yeah. [33:40] I think so. [33:41] I think you're right. [33:42] Or it might be fop. [33:43] I mean, he might be into fop too. [33:45] See, now I'm just thinking back to old brother, where art thou? [33:48] And that scene with George Clooney in the drugstore. [33:50] Yes. [33:52] Okay. [33:53] So where do we start here? [33:55] Yeah. [33:56] Trump threatens higher tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke. [34:00] Canada has refused to engage in basic forest management. [34:04] Oh my God. [34:05] Here we go again. [34:06] And you said no. [34:07] The entities responsible for the fires and myriad climate-related disasters are the fossil [34:11] fuel executives, Republican Party officials, and the climate-denying suckers who believe [34:15] all of the above. [34:16] I mean, we've heard this all in California, Bob. [34:19] Oh yes, for sure. [34:21] Yeah. [34:22] What's insane about Donald Trump using tariffs against wildfires, which is just ridiculous [34:30] to even say that sentence, is the fact that what he's concerned about is the smoke poisoning [34:37] Americans in Detroit. [34:39] He was talking about New York City and on and on and on. [34:42] And the great irony is Donald Trump has decided to tax those people. [34:47] So he's decided to tax the people in the United States breathing the toxic smoke from Canada. [34:56] That's his wonderful, so logical solution. [35:00] Well, and also, how many times can how many experts say the reason we're paying so much [35:06] for everything for inflation is his stupid tariffs and now the Iran war? [35:10] And, you know, he's escalating both, right? [35:14] Right. [35:16] Yes, perpetually. [35:18] So this is, once again, Donald Trump making things worse for Donald Trump, and by extension, [35:23] the entire Republican Party. [35:25] Yeah. [35:26] I don't think he cares, Stephanie. [35:28] I don't think... [35:29] Politics is probably the last thing on his mind right now. [35:32] I think he's thinking about ballroom. [35:34] I think he's thinking about, boy, can I sneak down to the Oval tonight and glue more crap onto the wall? [35:40] I mean, this is... [35:41] Yeah. [35:42] Yeah. [35:43] And also, can I continue to rip off the American people by thieving from the Treasury [35:50] and, you know, enriching myself with crypto and all the other get-rich-quick schemes that he's engaged in right now? [35:57] Yeah. [35:58] Which, by the way, have worked out well for him. [35:59] And as we're all going deeper into debt because of the tariffs and because of the Iran war, [36:04] Donald Trump's wealth increased by 253% last year alone, and God only knows where it is this year. [36:10] Bob, you're absolutely right. [36:12] I was just reading... [36:13] Oh, here it is. [36:14] Somebody posted, it's in just the first year of his second term, Donald Trump somehow has managed to rake in more cash [36:19] than the combined earnings of the previous 18 presidents. [36:23] I mean, are you telling me with what we're all paying for everything, even MAGA's okay with that? [36:28] Are they going to buy his, like, oh, all those presidents were stupid, I guess, for not cashing in? [36:34] Like, I can't imagine there's anyone that doesn't enrage. [36:37] Well, you know what they're thinking. [36:41] They're thinking exactly what he thinks and, in fact, said to, I believe it was Hillary Clinton in one of their debates back in 2016, [36:49] which is, well, I mean, the system lets me do it, so I might as well do it. [36:54] Because I'm smart, right? [36:55] When she talked about I'm not paying taxes, yeah, because I'm smart. [36:58] That's what he said, you're right. [36:59] I'm smart, yes. [37:00] Exactly. [37:01] So that's probably how his disciples are thinking of him. [37:07] Because I can't come up with a different explanation, Stephanie, for why there aren't torches and pitchforks gathered outside, [37:14] permanently outside the White House right now because of that story alone, because of his financial disclosures [37:20] and the breakdown of how much money he's made, in part by selling pardons and things like that. [37:27] The only explanation is, well, there he goes again. [37:30] I mean, so many Americans right now, even people who don't support Donald Trump are just like, well, it's Chinatown. [37:37] There you go. [37:38] He's doing the thing. [37:39] He's continuing. [37:40] I guess that's just him. [37:41] See, let's keep scrolling down Instagram, see what's going on with my food pictures on Facebook. [37:48] I mean, that's kind of, I think a lot of people are looking at this. [37:51] I mean, this to me seems like, Jack posted on threads, Bob, it seems like it sums up the midterms to me. [37:58] He says, every time I pay $400 for groceries, I just have to remind myself to be grateful for the new White House ballroom and the war in Iran. [38:05] I mean, it's hard to imagine how much more furious people are going to be by November, right? [38:12] Oh, yeah, yeah. [38:13] And ultimately, that's what it's going to boil down to. [38:15] I mean, it should be all the things, Stephanie. [38:19] It should be all the crimes and this kleptocracy that Donald Trump, this Putin style kleptocracy that Donald Trump has established inside the United States. [38:28] But ultimately, it's going to come down to the economy. [38:30] It's going to come down to things like gas prices and the prices of groceries, affordability, which is a word that we've all made up recently, apparently. [38:39] And that's, I think, going to seriously damage Donald Trump and, by extension, the Republican Party. [38:46] I mean, Harry Enten's more recent polling aside, I still am very, very strong on the fact that this is going to be like 2006. [38:58] I think this midterm is going to be closer to 2006 than 2018. [39:01] Yeah, Bob, it really is the whole party. [39:04] I don't know if, by the way, speaking of purity politics, I don't know if you have been paying attention to the Stephanie Miller Show this week. [39:09] But I am both, what is it, Chris, anti-Muslim bigot and also a pro-Zionist something. [39:16] No, wait, I'm not Zionist enough. [39:19] I am Zionist, but not an— [39:20] You're anti-Zionist. [39:21] Oh, I'm both anti-Zionist and an anti-Muslim bigot. [39:24] Uh-huh. [39:25] Yeah. [39:26] And I achieved all that. [39:27] It's only Wednesday. [39:28] Okay. [39:30] Right. [39:31] And welcome to the club, because I'm apparently right there with you, because I think, and [39:36] I hate to use this term, but I think both sides aren't doing themselves any favors with the way— [39:42] Especially the leaders on both sides. [39:44] Yeah. [39:45] By the way— [39:46] Exactly right. [39:47] Right. [39:48] This is what I mean by vote blue no matter who. [39:49] Someone posted, James Tallarico definitely scored with me by emphasizing his support and appreciation [39:53] for Jasmine Crockett. [39:54] This is what we need more of. [39:56] Oh, yeah. [39:57] You know, this is what we are facing fascism. [40:00] Voting blue. [40:02] God, don't care who it is, right? [40:05] And so, because on their side, Martin Post, House Speaker Mike Johnson defended Republicans [40:10] Max Miller and Corey Mills from domestic violence allegations, because the GOP is pro-domestic [40:16] violence. [40:17] I mean, there's just—they have no standards on their side. [40:20] Right? [40:21] They will defend anybody. [40:22] Right. [40:24] Oh, yeah. [40:25] In between Don Jr., Barron Trump and the Tate brothers. [40:28] Oh, and the Tate brothers. [40:29] The Tate brothers. [40:30] Yeah. [40:31] Yeah. [40:32] I mean, good Lord. [40:33] Remember in—what was it? [40:34] 2008? [40:35] Everyone was—or Sarah Palin, in particular, was screaming about that guy from the Weather Underground [40:40] that just happened to live in the same neighborhood as Barack Obama and how Barack Obama was palling [40:45] around with terrorists. [40:47] And here's Donald Trump mentioned in the Epstein files tens of thousands of times. [40:52] His son—both of his sons are pals with Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate who are freshly indicted [41:01] for having choked women until they pass out and then allegedly raping them when they're [41:08] passed out. [41:09] Yeah. [41:10] That's the kind of people that Donald Trump pals around with. [41:12] Yeah. [41:13] The Weather Underground. [41:14] Give me a break. [41:15] Every time we—you know, there's something horrible, we get a little gift from the universe [41:18] like him and those little—what are they called? [41:20] Like, little petal—capri pants. [41:23] Capri pants. [41:24] Little capri pants with heels. [41:25] Capri pants. [41:26] Yeah. [41:27] Yes. [41:28] With silk—with a silk chemise on top. [41:30] Julia said, I am one diarrhea lettuce away from fitting into my slutty little Andrew [41:35] Tate capris. [41:36] So, at least some people are enjoying how very manly— [41:40] Those were slutty. [41:41] He looks. [41:42] That was a slutty outfit. [41:43] By the way— [41:44] He had it coming. [41:45] You retweeted The Onion, Bob, who said, Mike Johnson struggles to hold speaker's gavel [41:48] while wearing anti-masturbation mitts, which is funny. [41:53] I mean— [41:54] But he's the one that— [41:55] That's why I love Ben Collins and—yeah. [41:58] He's the one that brought up—I don't know, he and his son monitoring each other's porn. [42:03] Okay. [42:04] Also, just one— [42:05] Yeah, and just the whole idea of anti-masturbation mitts just makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. [42:10] Me too. [42:11] I'm expecting that to pop up on Amazon any day now as an actual product. [42:15] But, yeah. [42:16] Okay. [42:17] Ben Collins and The Onion are heroes of democracy, for sure. [42:20] Yes, they are. [42:21] One last one you posted. [42:23] Leticia James said, we just won a court order stopping the merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers. [42:27] While our lawsuit continues, we're going to keep fighting to keep costs down for consumers, protect jobs, and stop this illegal merger. [42:33] And you just said, Doomer meme, why are Democrats so weak? [42:37] And then you're like, Leticia James. [42:39] We have—you look yesterday from Ossoff to Jack Reed to all of them. [42:44] We have some awesome fighters on our side, Bob. [42:47] We really do, and we've got to stop saying that. [42:49] Leticia James, you're right. [42:50] Oh, yes. [42:51] Oh, my God. [42:52] You know, Stephanie, I couldn't agree with you more. [42:55] In fact, I do a livestream on Sundays on my Patreon, and I think I've talked about that exact thing for maybe an hour and a half nonstop, like completely motor-mouthed the topic. [43:08] And it makes no sense why we're just several months away from a major election where democracy is on the ballot, and Democrats can't stop beating each other out of the heads with shovels. [43:23] It's preposterous what we're doing to ourselves. [43:26] And I can tell you this. [43:27] For every mention of Chuck Schumer being weak, I can mention two dozen other Democrats who are fighting and putting their lives on the line, putting their livelihoods, putting their very freedom on the line by pushing back against a tyrant and that tyrant's regime on a daily basis. [43:45] Leticia James is one of them. [43:47] I mean, we saw what happened to Fannie Willis going up against Donald Trump and the sacrifice she made so that justice could be served. [43:56] And we see this every day, day in and day out. [43:59] We see people, Jasmine Crockett, Calarico, Mamdani. [44:03] We see all these people doing the right thing and fighting this fascism, and yet there's still this meme on social media. [44:10] Why are the Democrats so weak? [44:12] Well, because you're thinking of Chuck Schumer and not the dozens and dozens of other Democrats who are fighting back against fascist authoritarianism. [44:21] Right. [44:22] And I keep saying one step at a time, Bob. [44:24] Get a boatload of Democrats in and then urge them that maybe it's time to change leadership. [44:30] You've got to do one thing first. [44:32] First things first, anyway. [44:34] I love you, Bob Seska. [44:35] I love you, the old-fashioned horse-drawn way. [44:38] I love you, Stephanie. [44:40] Go ahead. [44:41] Yes, I know. [44:42] I'm going to go back to pedaling on my Gilligan bicycle to get my internet to work here. [44:45] Thank you for being caller number 47. [44:49] I know. [44:50] Here we are. [44:51] It's 2026, and nothing ever works. [44:54] But at least the weed whackers have left outside. [44:56] There are no more weed whackers outside my window. [44:59] Yeah, that was another thing I was freaking out about. [45:01] Sam, this is how we used to do the radio. [45:03] See, the people just called in on the phone. [45:05] Bob was calling us with a phrase to pay. [45:06] Yeah. [45:07] You did a free bazillion problem, Christopher. [45:10] All right. [45:11] Love you, Bob. [45:12] I was afraid to pay. [45:13] Love you, too. [45:14] Bye-bye. [45:15] Three boys to men taking some robotic. [45:17] How many times did I say that? [45:19] Forty, fifty minutes after the hour. [45:20] But only if you have the phrase to pay. [45:22] That's right. [45:23] More music in the morning. [45:24] This portion of the show. [45:26] It's the UN Commission, I think, that said, in their opinion, the IDF is targeting civilians, [45:31] and there are other groups that say not. [45:33] Again, I'm not the arbiter. [45:35] The UN holds some weight. [45:37] Whatever the policy is, they're committing genocide, and it's wrong. [45:40] I don't know how many more times I can say that. [45:42] But anyway, go ahead, Richard. [45:43] Sorry, go ahead. [45:44] Stephanie, they're killing old folks and babies. [45:46] Yep. [45:47] It doesn't get any more basic than that. [45:48] Right. [45:49] And it's garbage that some people are running around just because somebody said, listen, [45:53] you and I and all of us that are part of this conversation have tons of Jewish and Muslim friends and family in many cases. [46:00] So for somebody to say that because we call out someone that is of that faith because of their bad behavior is absolutely insanity. [46:09] And can I just say something, Richard? [46:10] I hate them. [46:11] I hate them all equally. [46:12] I am both Islamophobic and anti-Semitic. [46:16] I'm kind of tired of dealing with people who aren't capable of nuance. [46:20] You know, there's nuance. [46:21] Oh, well, you would say that because you're just so black and white. [46:24] Yeah. [46:25] Online forums are full of people who are black and white. [46:29] That's why I got off of there. [46:31] Yeah. [46:32] Yeah. [46:34] Yeah. [46:35] I hear you. [46:36] All right, guys. [46:37] Have a great day. [46:38] Love y'all. [46:39] All right. [46:40] I hate to say it. [46:41] Everybody made him swear because he said knuckleheads. [46:42] Yeah. [46:43] And that's, that's, those are fighting words from Richard. [46:44] I will say you are clearly much smarter than me, but you know, that's almost anyone is. [46:47] So it's not that much of a compliment, but okay. [46:49] What? [46:50] I'm smart about what? [46:51] I'm smarter. [46:52] You're smarter. [46:53] I said you're smarter than me, but I said almost anyone is. [46:55] So, you know, low bar. [46:56] I don't know about that. [46:57] I mean, you have a theater degree from USC. [46:59] That's right. [47:00] That's true. [47:01] All right. [47:02] What's my motivation? [47:03] I don't remember. [47:04] I mean, many people consider USC better than ASU, so. [47:07] Well, okay. [47:08] So I'm going to be a snob. [47:09] I'm going to be an elitist snob to you now. [47:10] It's certainly more expensive. [47:11] It's certainly more expensive. [47:12] Yeah. [47:13] So better, obviously. [47:14] Who said, I don't see a golden age. [47:19] I see an America that has become an ineffectual bully, sicker, poorer, riven by political extremism [47:25] with no friends anywhere in the world. [47:27] Richard Chu. [47:28] No, that was a good guess though. [47:29] That was a good guess. [47:30] No, this is Paul Krugman. [47:31] Oh. [47:32] Yeah. [47:33] It's true. [47:34] It's true. [47:35] I'd forgotten this, by the way, with this doofus. [47:37] What did John Stewart call him? [47:39] A cankle's Muldoon. [47:40] Yeah. [47:41] It was so embarrassing. [47:45] It was just so embarrassing. [47:46] Yeah. [47:47] He just doesn't get it. [47:48] But he's just hanging around like a doofus. [47:50] Just like, get the out. [47:52] Like, this is their moment. [47:53] He just didn't look anyway. [47:55] But I'd forgotten this. [47:56] Harry said, Trump recently said, Spain is a wasted cause. [47:58] They're hopeless. [47:59] Bad people. [48:00] And MAGA is somehow confused as to why they added him out of their World Cup photos. [48:04] Why are they confused? [48:05] He's insulted everyone in the world, every country. [48:08] And he wonders why, oh my God, he gets booed viciously like everywhere he goes, including [48:13] at the World Cup. [48:14] It's just... [48:15] He just said he had a wonderful go with the new prime minister of the UK. [48:18] Oh, did he? [48:19] He did. [48:20] He said that this morning. [48:21] Yeah. [48:22] Okay. [48:23] Yeah, we're getting along great with Canada. [48:25] Oh God. [48:26] This is also so endlessly embarrassing. [48:29] It is. [48:30] I mean, particularly for those of us in California where they sent help when we had fires. [48:34] Canada did. [48:35] So he's putting a 50% tariff on Canada and then he may do more because of the fires? [48:40] On hockey sticks and Canadian whiskey. [48:42] Oh my God. [48:43] Does he not realize the entire United States is also on fire right now? [48:46] Yes. [48:47] I mean, it's so ridiculous. [48:48] It's just... [48:49] Here's Ontario Premier Doug Ford. [48:51] I find it a shame the administration in the US and Congress people writing these letters [48:57] and blaming us and so on and so forth. [48:59] Right? [49:00] You don't get on and start threatening and criticizing because guess what? [49:03] One day it's going to be your turn. [49:05] Yep. [49:06] And we're going to be down there without hesitation to support our neighbors. [49:09] Thank you. [49:10] Which we should be. [49:11] But all the rhetoric going on there, and it's not from all Americans. [49:16] I'll tell you, Americans love Canadians. [49:17] Yes. [49:18] And we Canadians love Americans. [49:20] Yeah. [49:21] But to make the comments they did through the administration, unacceptable. [49:25] Mm-hmm. [49:26] Thank you. [49:27] I hope more and more countries, Jody, are differentiating between him and realizing that most of us despise [49:32] him if they're looking at the same polling. [49:33] Oregon is right now on fire and so is Colorado. [49:35] Yeah. [49:36] Yeah. [49:37] So. [49:38] There's a huge fire going on in Florida. [49:39] Yeah. [49:40] Yeah. [49:41] One more. [49:42] Yeah. [49:43] Doug Ford. [49:44] Why don't you get rid of the softwood lumber tariffs? [49:47] Because 33% of the lumber that you use in your building, guess what? [49:53] It comes from Canada. [49:54] You want us to clear the forest? [49:56] Well, open up the gates. [49:58] Let's start shipping softwood lumber down there. [50:01] And that would resolve a lot of the issues that we face right now. [50:05] Yeah. [50:06] Yeah. [50:07] It's just, he's made his whole party into idiots, right? [50:10] Who is this one? [50:11] Jeff Van Drew. [50:12] Yeah. [50:13] Republican of New Jersey. [50:14] Canada isn't working because they're so far left. [50:16] This should be a warning shot. [52:05] Chris LaVoy has officially changed his glasses. [52:07] He said he needs progressive lenses. [52:09] And then I started a fight again. [52:11] He said, yeah, well, that's the only progressive thing about you. [52:14] You middle of the road, centrist, establishment hack. [52:17] And then you told me the breaking news that Jackie, the Big Bear Eagle, who we love, is in critical condition. [52:23] Yeah. [52:24] And now yesterday, I did a bit about it because she got in a fight with other eagles. [52:27] Uh-huh. [52:28] And I said it was drunken snowboarding eagles in Big Bear. [52:31] I've been there. [52:32] And now- [52:33] The town is overrun with them. [52:34] Yes. [52:35] Yes. [52:36] And now I'm going to get called an anti-eagle, anti-American something on social media today. [52:41] We send love and light to Jackie. [52:44] We hope that she's having kidney things or something. [52:47] She has kidney inflammation. [52:48] Yes. [52:49] All right. [52:50] I needed a little love. [52:51] Okay. [52:52] After all the hate social media yesterday, Doug said, [52:55] I've been a loyal fan since the day the show premiered on their first Seattle affiliate almost 22 years ago. [53:00] Wow. [53:01] It's fair to say you don't agree with them on something, but Stephanie has always tried to use her platform to help others. [53:05] Thank you, Doug. [53:06] I'm doing the best I can. [53:08] I know it's not a lot. [53:10] Bless my heart. [53:12] Bless your heart. [53:13] You're doing the best you can from this centipede-laden basement. [53:16] Yes. [53:17] All right. [53:18] Karen in Chicago. [53:19] Hello. [53:22] All I want to say is that, you know, you guys make the hard stuff look easy. [53:27] And I would invite anybody who's jumping on and attacking you to get in. [53:33] You try it. [53:34] It's hard. [53:35] Yeah. [53:36] Yeah. [53:37] You're doing a great job. [53:38] Thank you, Beth. [53:39] You're doing a great job, Steph. [53:40] And, you know, while I was on hold, I'm reminded of why I love this show so much. [53:44] Because I literally was calling in to talk about how for people that are bashing Democrats about messaging. [53:51] Hold on. [53:52] Hard break, Karen. [53:53] We'll finish after the break. [53:54] Stephanie Miller Show. [1:01:39] In this trade war again. [1:01:40] But if you're worried that this is another case of Trump abusing his power, relax. [1:01:44] These tariffs are legal under the Smoot-Hawley Act, which has been around since 1930, when [1:01:49] it helped prolong and worsen the Great Depression. [1:01:52] So, Sheriff, where's the sudden anger with Canada coming from? [1:02:01] What's this all about? [1:02:03] President Trump is blasting Canada for, quote, willful negligence in its forced management, [1:02:08] calling the pollution an unhealthy invasion. [1:02:11] Trump went on to threaten Canada with more tariffs due to the wildfire smoke. [1:02:15] You've got to stop these fires from coming in and, you know, wasting our air. [1:02:19] Are you sure you want America to set a precedent for paying for pollution? [1:02:24] I feel like your pals at Pesticide, Microplastic, Death, Diarrhea, Lettuce, Inc. [1:02:29] might have other ideas. [1:02:32] Desi Lydic. [1:02:33] She's fantastic on the Daily Show. [1:02:35] Oh, I was saying other hot blondes I currently have a crush on. [1:02:38] Sophie Cunningham, the WNBA. [1:02:40] I've never been to a WNBA game. [1:02:42] Maybe she should start going. [1:02:44] I don't know. [1:02:46] She's adorable. [1:02:47] But did you just try to crush one of my dreams? [1:02:49] Did you say Maga likes her? [1:02:50] I don't know. [1:02:51] I saw... [1:02:52] Must you crush another of my dreams? [1:02:54] I saw someone, Maga, who I kind of follow on Instagram, say something about her. [1:02:59] And so I tried to research why they might like her. [1:03:03] I don't know. [1:03:04] She and Caitlin Clark are best friends, and it's just kind of the fantastic girl power, [1:03:09] fun clips you see on Instagram. [1:03:12] And I was saying they're like amazing athletes. [1:03:14] They're just like light years beyond the level that I played at. [1:03:17] And then you asked me, was I on the USC team? [1:03:20] I'm like, no. [1:03:22] They were national champions my freshman year. [1:03:25] I tried out. [1:03:26] You were what? [1:03:27] All state? [1:03:28] All Catholic? [1:03:29] Yes, all Catholic. [1:03:30] Thank you for remembering, Chris. [1:03:31] Yes. [1:03:32] My hook shot was the fear of the Catholic League in upstate New York. [1:03:36] However... [1:03:37] How big was the Catholic League? [1:03:38] Not very big. [1:03:39] Okay. [1:03:40] I graduated with 52 people. [1:03:42] So second in my class. [1:03:43] 52. [1:03:44] Okay. [1:03:45] Okay. [1:03:46] That's something. [1:03:47] Yes. [1:03:48] They had to have tryouts legally for the team, but they actually cut people. [1:03:50] They weren't. [1:03:51] Right. [1:03:52] They weren't. [1:03:53] But I was an idiot. [1:03:54] And you had to play the position that you played in high school. [1:03:56] And I was a center, even though I'm only 5'7". [1:03:58] And I remember I had to guard Lisa Whitting, who was 6'6". [1:04:01] So you can imagine how that tryout went. [1:04:03] This was me. [1:04:04] This was me trying out for USC basketball. [1:04:05] How tall are you? [1:04:06] 5'7". [1:04:07] 5'7". [1:04:08] Okay. [1:04:09] Yeah. [1:04:12] Did not go well. [1:04:13] Our fitness program in Catholic school consisted of knocking over milk cartons with beanbags. [1:04:16] So I was not, let's just say, in the physical condition that a lot of the, you know, elite athletes were at that time. [1:04:24] Okay. [1:04:25] Me being a chubby kid, the nemesis of my days were playing shirts and skins where I was skins. [1:04:33] Didn't Roman Gomez have an opportunity to call you fat again? [1:04:36] Oh, yeah. [1:04:37] Okay. [1:04:38] Karen, come, come to our childhood pain. [1:04:40] Come, come into our... [1:04:41] Hello. [1:04:43] You know what? [1:04:44] F that Roman Gomez. [1:04:45] Right. [1:04:46] Exactly. [1:04:47] F that Roman Gomez. [1:04:48] Social media yesterday gave me Carol Fisher flashbacks from Catholic school. [1:04:52] Yeah. [1:04:53] Well, I mean, clearly, Stephanie, you are the problem with everything that's going on right [1:04:59] now. [1:05:00] I mean... [1:05:01] Yes. [1:05:02] Look. [1:05:03] Okay. [1:05:04] Someone just said, Sophie Cunningham is MAGA. [1:05:05] Oh, no. [1:05:06] That's what I thought. [1:05:07] No. [1:05:08] That's what I thought. [1:05:10] God bless America. [1:05:11] I mean, I just want to be able to go back to like, you know, doing my home workouts. [1:05:16] You know, like, I got burned by Jillian Michaels. [1:05:19] I'm trying, you know, so like, I literally will go and try and find out... [1:05:23] You knew something was up with her, though. [1:05:25] Should we need to throw her out of the gate, first of all? [1:05:27] Yeah. [1:05:28] I mean, really. [1:05:30] No, but I just, you know, as I was on hold, the reason that I called, you know, you and [1:05:36] Bob actually touched on it, you know, for all of the people that say the Democrats [1:05:41] aren't messaging, look, you guys, the mainstream media is not going to show you the fight that [1:05:48] the Democrats are doing because they've always played this both sides do it narrative. [1:05:52] And they always, you know, hold, you know, Democrats to a higher standard than Republicans. [1:05:57] They always leave it right there whenever there are any tough questions. [1:06:01] And so, you know, for me, go look for it. [1:06:04] It's everywhere. [1:06:05] If you want to see how Democrats, with their very limited power, are fighting, go and look [1:06:10] at the John Ossoff. [1:06:11] Yeah. [1:06:12] You know, look at all of these congressional hearings. [1:06:13] Yeah. [1:06:14] Imagine what we could do with 100 John Ossoffs in the Senate. [1:06:16] I mean, that's exactly right, Karen. [1:06:18] Can I just say, since we're in my Girl Power segment of the show... [1:06:23] You mean mega Sophie Cunningham? [1:06:26] Is she really? [1:06:28] No. [1:06:29] She's so adorable. [1:06:30] Well... [1:06:31] She's super hot. [1:06:32] Okay. [1:06:33] Anyway... [1:06:34] Well, I mean, sometimes MAGA girls are hot. [1:06:35] Oh, God. [1:06:36] Don't I know it? [1:06:38] When I used to be back... [1:06:39] Before my girlfriend was on the dating app. [1:06:41] Uh-huh. [1:06:42] I was like, wow, she's hot. [1:06:43] She's... [1:06:44] Oh, God. [1:06:45] MAGA. [1:06:46] Uh-huh. [1:06:47] Boner killer. [1:06:48] Okay. [1:06:49] Lady boner killer. [1:06:50] Yes. [1:06:51] Yeah. [1:06:52] Yeah. [1:06:53] Lady boner, obviously. [1:06:54] Okay. [1:06:55] I have a lady boner for Jennifer Welch, as you know. [1:06:56] I was thinking for her to come on this show. [1:06:57] But I'm telling you, this is why people like people that are speaking unfiltered, like she [1:07:01] is, and Kyle Kalinske, and Hunter Biden, and all these... [1:07:04] Because Don Lemons out there, the people that are free of corporate influence, are telling [1:07:09] it like it is, and about this whole party. [1:07:11] These Republicans have no balls, no courage, no integrity, no decency to stand up for the [1:07:18] Constitution and the country they claim they allegedly love. [1:07:21] They would rather blindly serve and be obedient, like a submissive trad wife, to Donald Trump, [1:07:28] a dips*** who wears a full face of makeup every single day, is a liar, a crook, and just [1:07:34] an overall piece of s***. [1:07:36] I just love her so... [1:07:39] I love her so much. [1:07:41] Also, as you know, my Hunter Biden crush continues unabated. [1:07:45] Here he is yesterday. [1:07:46] We're living under a dictatorship right now in the form of a... [1:07:50] It's less Adolf Hitler, because he's not as concentrated as that. [1:07:55] It's more Idi Amin. [1:07:57] It's buffoonery, incompetence, complete and utter incompetence, on top of a giant grift. [1:08:05] A giant grift of the likes no one in the world has ever seen. [1:08:09] Yeah. [1:08:10] He sounds like Joe Biden sped up a little bit. [1:08:12] Exactly. [1:08:13] And I sent you another one, just him talking about his dad and, you know, cognitive abilities [1:08:19] and all that. [1:08:20] It's just good for him. [1:08:22] I didn't get it? [1:08:23] Justin, huh? [1:08:24] I didn't get it? [1:08:25] Oh, it's all right. [1:08:26] Let's go get it tomorrow. [1:08:27] Oh, you sent it this morning? [1:08:28] Yeah. [1:08:29] Oh, okay. [1:08:30] All right. [1:08:31] Yeah, Justin said Hunter Biden actually got help and got himself better. [1:08:33] Trump never got help and didn't get better, yet Christians think Trump is worthy of redemption [1:08:36] and forgiveness and not Hunter. [1:08:39] So good for him. [1:08:40] He's out of Fs to give. [1:08:42] Oh, also, since I'm in my, who else do I love? [1:08:46] Rosie O'Donnell. [1:08:47] Love her so much. [1:08:48] Melania Trump said, what my husband wants is for everyone to be able to walk down the [1:08:51] street without being harassed or killed and for women not to be assaulted. [1:08:55] And so Rosie said, so tell him to stop assaulting them. [1:08:59] Thank you, Rosie. [1:09:00] Thank you. [1:09:01] By the way, she's doing a one woman show off Broadway. [1:09:03] Go see it. [1:09:04] She's fantastic. [1:09:05] She looks fantastic. [1:09:06] She's been through hell and back and health scares and she looks amazing. [1:09:10] And anyway, good for her. [1:09:12] She was the one. [1:09:13] That's why he's always hated her because she was talking to she's from New York. [1:09:16] She was talking the truth about him from, you know, from the get from day one. [1:09:21] Yep. [1:09:22] Anyway, and she helped us out. [1:09:24] She was a guest on our first sexy liberal show that had to be virtual because of the pandemic. [1:09:29] Oh, that's. [1:09:30] Yes, she was. [1:09:31] Yes, she was. [1:09:32] She was. [1:09:33] So she's, she's a mensch. [1:09:34] Oh, call John Fugelson. [1:09:35] He's got her. [1:09:36] Let's try to get her back on. [1:09:37] Okay. [1:09:38] Oh, wait. [1:09:39] Let's get her back on. [1:09:40] I miss Rosie. [1:09:41] She's fantastic. [1:09:42] Um, by the way, speaking of, uh, sexual assault and, uh, uh, there's yet another, uh, [1:09:44] is it murder? [1:09:46] A model recruiter accused of procuring girls for convicted, uh, sex predator Jeffrey Epstein [1:09:51] has been found dead in his home. [1:09:53] Uh huh. [1:09:54] And, huh. [1:09:57] So many people just gone, you know, unalive. [1:10:00] Falling on, falling on knives left and right. [1:10:02] Yeah. [1:10:03] Willy nilly. [1:10:04] Um, he was also facing his own abuse allegations, including rape from multiple models. [1:10:08] Um, okay. [1:10:09] I'm just saying a lot of, a lot of, a lot of people involved in the Epstein thing. [1:10:13] Very, very clumsy. [1:10:14] No. [1:10:15] Weird. [1:10:16] Yeah. [1:10:17] Okay. [1:10:18] Uh, where am I? [1:10:20] Hold, please. [1:10:21] Oh, lots of people just, you know, I don't know what they're talking about, Chris, but [1:10:24] I just, uh, Cindy said, I'm just a girl standing in front of a tyrant asking him to please die. [1:10:29] Oh. [1:10:31] I don't know who she's talking about. [1:10:32] What do you mean? [1:10:34] Oh, someone Still We Rise had a great suggestion. [1:10:36] I need purse champagne just in case I'm not home when it happens. [1:10:39] I think, you know what? [1:10:40] You gotta plan ahead, Chris. [1:10:41] Yeah, but. [1:10:42] It's true. [1:10:43] You have to think of every, you gotta have orange juice in case it's in the morning. [1:10:45] Yeah. [1:10:46] Purse champagne gets shaken up though. [1:10:47] I don't know that you, you can't open that on a whim. [1:10:49] I just, well, okay. [1:10:50] I'm just saying to be prepared. [1:10:54] Okay. [1:10:55] Oh, speaking of other women I love, oh my God, Tammy Duckworth. [1:10:58] Fantastic. [1:10:59] Just talking about this whole debacle. [1:11:02] First and foremost, Trump is the one who started this war. [1:11:05] Trump is the one who started this war without any actual plan for how he was going to execute [1:11:10] the mission. [1:11:11] So the blame for those 18 service members' deaths lays at the feet of the president of [1:11:15] the United States. [1:11:16] It sits on the resolute desk in front of him in that gilded Marie Antoinette of, you know, [1:11:22] Oval Office that he's, that he's turned it into. [1:11:24] Okay. [1:11:25] One more. [1:11:26] Senator Duckworth. [1:11:28] He also appointed the most incompetent secretary of defense in our nation's history, whose [1:11:33] all he seems to be worried about is testosterone levels and our troops, instead of making sure [1:11:37] that he actually has a plan to execute this mission in Iran and ending it before even more [1:11:43] Americans get killed. [1:11:44] Yeah. [1:11:45] I, can I just say this, this, I'm sure the story made you happy. [1:11:48] Military fitness experts bash test workout videos. [1:11:51] Uh, one says none of his push-ups or pull-ups were done right. [1:11:54] Yeah. [1:11:56] Uh, his technique in these workout videos he loves posting, uh, would get a flunking [1:12:00] grade according to several military fitness experts. [1:12:03] Yeah. [1:12:04] What was the thing we used to do? [1:12:05] The president's fitness exam when we were in grade school? [1:12:08] Yeah. [1:12:09] He wouldn't even pass that. [1:12:10] I flunked that. [1:12:11] Again, chubby kid, couldn't do one pull-up. [1:12:13] Flunked it every time. [1:12:14] You are so that guy, kid in the back of the comic strip that like someone pushed sand in [1:12:20] your face and now you're, okay. [1:12:21] I, I have, I have body image issues. [1:12:24] Okay. [1:12:25] I, I. [1:12:26] Ah, don't we all. [1:12:27] Don't we all. [1:12:28] Well, that's why I look this way. [1:12:29] So, this story, where was this story? [1:12:31] Uh, Hex says form is so bad, multiple military fitness experts said he, uh, fails on form, [1:12:36] the service test based on, uh, his videos. [1:12:38] With, uh, each of these videos, uh, critics skewer his form and mock his endurance, uh, dissing [1:12:42] him as all flex and no fundamentals. [1:12:44] Mm-hmm. [1:12:45] Uh, in one, oh, remember when he said he crushed 44 reps doing the bench presses? [1:12:49] No, he did not. [1:12:50] Remember with the spazzy leg with the, yeah. [1:12:52] No. [1:12:53] That's cheating. [1:12:54] Right. [1:12:55] One expert said he does not fully extend his arms, making the exercise far easier and inflating [1:12:59] his total. [1:13:00] He's a cheater. [1:13:01] Right. [1:13:02] Just like his boss. [1:13:03] Uh, Hex says, uh, pushups would not pass muster in any branch, wrote another expert. [1:13:06] Uh, Hex, his pushups are more half, like half ups. [1:13:09] Uh huh. [1:13:10] They're like girl. [1:13:11] I'm sorry. [1:13:12] I'm a girl. [1:13:13] He works out like a girl. [1:13:14] He might as well be on his knees. [1:13:15] Like a really weak girl, a girly girly girl. [1:13:19] Okay. [1:13:21] Uh, Hex says mocks women soldiers who can only do 10 pushups at a pop or transgender [1:13:26] women as a 10 pushup kind of guy. [1:13:29] Ah, yeah, yeah. [1:13:30] Retired Brigadier General Maureen LaBeouf said, uh, she would have failed him. [1:13:34] She honed in on how he was kicking his legs like a girl. [1:13:37] Oh, his pull ups or chin ups and the kicking that he does. [1:13:41] Uh, you would never allow that. [1:13:42] You'd stop someone say it and say, okay, you're done. [1:13:44] He just keeps kicking and it's not a good look. [1:13:47] He does it for not just the, what are those things called the pull ups, but also bench [1:13:51] press. [1:13:52] Like it's like he has a, and then when he was doing the dancing thing, the sugar plum fairies, [1:13:57] he's just that one leg kicking out like it. [1:14:00] Okay. [1:14:01] Uh, uh, uh, the acting Pentagon press secretary accused the Atlantic of holding Hegseth to [1:14:06] one a fairly high standard and said, have you ever seen Lloyd Austin's farm form? [1:14:10] Did the Atlantic ever ask about it? [1:14:12] No, cause he didn't put out homo videos of himself working out. [1:14:15] He was busy running the defense department. [1:14:17] If any other part of your body is moving besides the part you're working out, you are cheating. [1:14:23] Thank you, Chris LaBoye. [1:14:25] Uh, as, uh, the Atlantic said, Austin, however, was not known for posting self promotional [1:14:30] exercise content on social media. [1:14:32] Uh, he did, however, complete ranger school and airborne school, command the 10th mountain [1:14:36] division in Afghanistan, and then fight, uh, uh, the Islamic state and earn a silver star. [1:14:41] But other than that, he certainly can't do the dance of the sugar plum fairies as well as you, Pete. [1:14:46] I just hate every, you know what? [1:14:52] I'm going to make this. [1:14:53] I hate everyone weak. [1:14:54] That's what I'm going to do. [1:14:55] Maybe he could use a testosterone shot or two. [1:14:57] I think he is a little low T. [1:14:59] I think he is. [1:15:00] Yeah. [1:15:01] He needs that commercial with the disco ball. [1:15:03] Huh? [1:15:04] Remember this one? [1:15:05] This is a low T commercial with the guy with the disco ball. [1:15:07] I don't know. [1:15:08] I don't remember. [1:15:09] He had low T and then suddenly he became like, neither Sam nor I know what you're talking [1:15:12] about. [1:15:13] I miss it's a fair chance. [1:15:15] I don't either. [1:15:16] Okay. [1:15:17] It'd just be a flapping wire up there. [1:15:20] Like a flapping Higgs at the leg. [1:15:22] Yeah. [1:15:23] Well. [1:15:24] There is a low, people will, I know what I'm talking about. [1:15:27] There's a low T commercial when there's a disco ball that comes down when the guy gets [1:15:30] his T up. [1:15:32] 20 minutes after the hour. [1:15:33] Isn't it party time excellent? [1:15:34] I don't know. [1:15:35] This portion of the show. [1:15:36] No, they lie about everything. [1:15:37] They lie about stupid stuff. [1:15:39] Like if the president of the United States lies about AI doctored images that he posts [1:15:43] of himself as Jesus Christ. [1:15:45] And then looks you dead in the eye and tells you that he thought he was a doctor. [1:15:48] You shouldn't trust anything that he says. [1:15:51] He's literally the boy who cried wolf. [1:15:53] If there was a real problem, we wouldn't believe him because he's lying about other stupid stuff. [1:15:58] So it just, again, everything about it is just absolutely disgusting. [1:16:03] And again, the New York Times reported yesterday that they've been covering up about 100 injuries. [1:16:07] There have been reports from people on the ground that they've been turning away. [1:16:10] Like if you're in a facility and you go to get checked on because you think you might have a concussion [1:16:13] or you might have hurt your ankle or something like that, they turn you away and tell you to go recover [1:16:17] on your own because they don't want to count the numbers. [1:16:19] So the numbers are way low. [1:16:20] We may not know for years, but I would not be shocked to learn that there have been more fatalities. [1:16:24] Does that remind you of COVID? [1:16:25] Let's keep the people on the ship. [1:16:26] Let's keep the numbers down. [1:16:28] Like, you know, if we don't count the number of COVID cases, it won't, it doesn't exist. [1:16:32] I mean, there's a, there's a, there's an episode of the Simpsons once where Homer runs a red light and he [1:16:36] covers his eyes and he goes, if I don't see it, it's not illegal. [1:16:38] Yeah, exactly. [1:16:39] That's basically this entire presence. [1:16:40] That's it. [1:16:41] Dude. [1:16:42] Dude. [1:16:43] Okay. [1:16:44] Yeah, this, by the way, the defense department called the New York Times report, quote, baseless [1:16:48] and malicious in a hostile and defensive response and accused the paper of, are you ready for [1:16:53] it? [1:16:54] Being desperate to smear America's military. [1:16:55] Here we go again. [1:16:56] You hate like Iraq. [1:16:57] Oh, you hate the troops. [1:16:58] You don't support the military. [1:16:59] If you just simply say, you know, and then they, then they said it's disgusting behavior, [1:17:04] even for the New York Times. [1:17:05] Oh, I see. [1:17:06] So it's not disgusting behavior to be in an illegal unnecessary war and lie about the number [1:17:11] of people being killed and injured, but it's disgusting for the New York Times to report [1:17:15] it. [1:17:16] Or attacking gold star families as Donald Trump has done, attacking people who have served [1:17:20] like he attacked John McCain, using a dead soldiers casket from this war just a few weeks [1:17:25] ago in a fundraising email. [1:17:26] All of that is totally fine. [1:17:28] This is not okay. [1:17:29] And all of this, like you hate the troops stuff. [1:17:31] It worked briefly for the Republicans in the wake of 9-11 20 years ago. [1:17:35] It's not going to work now. [1:17:36] They, and I can't, I probably can't curse, use the word I want. [1:17:39] So they peed away every bit of goodwill that they had on the military in the wake of 9-11. [1:17:44] They've lost it. [1:17:45] They're not real patriots. [1:17:46] They don't care about the military. [1:17:47] They don't care about you or I. [1:17:49] I'm begging people. [1:17:50] If you're listening to this and you're like, man, I hate that Mike Nellis. [1:17:53] I hate Democrats. [1:17:54] Like whatever, please understand that they hate you and they don't care about you. [1:17:58] And we may disagree on issues, but let's build a coalition to kick these people out [1:18:01] of office. [1:18:02] And we get back to fighting about, I don't know who could play women's volleyball and, [1:18:05] and, and what type of healthcare system we should have. [1:18:07] These guys are awful. [1:18:08] Get rid of them all. [1:18:09] Well, you know, and finally, you said it best here about the service members being killed in [1:18:13] a legal war. [1:18:14] You said another, and you said, I will ask again for what, what are we accomplishing here? [1:18:18] Trump has no plan, no clear mission, and he's getting our sons and daughters killed for his [1:18:22] own vanity. [1:18:23] And he just, this is yesterday. [1:18:26] He said, every time Iran kills an American soldier, they'll pay for that killing many [1:18:29] times over. [1:18:30] That's the definition of escalation of a ridiculous situation in the first place. [1:18:35] That, that how, how does this end? [1:18:37] It doesn't, I guess. [1:18:38] And they, they, they're smart enough to know to taunt him into a forever war. [1:18:41] That's all they have to do is just keep poking him. [1:18:43] Yep. [1:18:45] And, and it accomplishes nothing. [1:18:46] Like, like, what is the goal of this mission? [1:18:49] I don't know. [1:18:50] And say what you will about George W. Bush and, and Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and [1:18:53] the rest of them. [1:18:54] They at least took the time to lie to us. [1:18:56] Yeah. [1:18:57] And they took the time to come up with a compelling reason to go into Iraq. [1:18:59] Yep. [1:19:00] And they were like, Hey, they've got weapons of mass destruction. [1:19:01] We're on the verge of a world war. [1:19:02] There's a smoking gun, yada, yada, yada. [1:19:04] We got to go do it. [1:19:05] This is the laziest justification for a war I've ever seen. [1:19:08] We're going in. [1:19:09] Cause we're removing the regime. [1:19:10] It's tyrannical. [1:19:11] We're getting rid of them now. [1:19:12] No, now we're negotiating with the regime. [1:19:13] They have weapons of mass destruction. [1:19:14] No, they don't actually have them. [1:19:15] We're taking the uranium. [1:19:16] Now we're going to let them keep the uranium. [1:19:17] Now we're taking over the straight of Hormuz. [1:19:18] No, no, no. [1:19:19] We're not doing any of that. [1:19:20] It's crap. [1:19:21] It's just another scheme for Donald Trump to make money for him. [1:19:24] His idiot kids and all of his donors who are manipulating the market. [1:19:27] That's all that this is. [1:19:28] They don't care about it. [1:19:29] That's why when Donald Trump says this is the golden age of America, it is a golden age for him. [1:19:34] His portfolio, his net worth is higher. [1:19:36] Yours is not. [1:19:37] And you know, Mike, it seems like he's even losing Fox news. [1:19:40] So Brit Hume said, I think the president's in kind of a tough spot here in a sense. [1:19:44] He promised to keep us out of endless wars or unsatisfactory wars. [1:19:47] I don't know what a satisfactory war is, but okay. [1:19:50] And now he's in one, and it's not at all clear how it's going to end. [1:19:54] I mean, you know, at least they're stating the truth. [1:19:57] He ran on no wars. [1:19:58] Yeah. [1:19:59] And here we are. [1:20:00] And this is the gaslighting, Mike. [1:20:02] The headline, White House touts overwhelming popularity of Trump's deal with Iran, which he just declared to be over. [1:20:45] I mean. [1:20:57] It's the Stephanie Miller Show. [1:21:12] Yes, yes. [1:21:16] This is why I'm wearing my ready for Kamala t-shirt. [1:21:19] Two years ago today, Kamala Harris announced her presidential candidacy with only 107 days to run her race. [1:21:24] Justin says, I will forever respect her for the effort she put into those 15 weeks trying to save America from another four years of disaster and destruction. [1:21:33] Also, I am with John, who said, I genuinely believe in the next two years someone is going to present affirmative hard evidence that Trump and Musk altered election returns. [1:21:44] We shall see, but dear God, I hope so. [1:21:46] Also, just double standards, Chris. [1:21:49] Kayla says, Kamala Harris was a prosecutor, district attorney, California attorney general, U.S. senator, and vice president. [1:21:56] Darlene Graham, that's Lindsay's sister, has never held elected office before being appointed to her brother's Senate seat. [1:22:03] Funny how DEI only seems to get thrown at the black women with decades of qualifications. [1:22:07] Yeah. [1:22:08] And even MAGA's pissed. [1:22:09] Yeah. [1:22:10] Pissed. [1:22:11] Like, again, you're going to talk at Lux. [1:22:12] You're also about DEI. [1:22:13] Right. [1:22:14] Lindsey Graham's sister. [1:22:15] Period. [1:22:16] That's the end of her resume. [1:22:17] Yeah. [1:22:18] Right? [1:22:19] Ay yi yi. [1:22:20] So maybe Sophie Cunningham wouldn't like her. [1:22:22] I'm going to do my own research on that. [1:22:25] I'm not going to give up that dream yet. [1:22:28] This one, Mr. Collins says, one of my favorite interesting stats from the 2024 election. [1:22:35] And it's just, you know, Harris and Trump and the percentage of GDP, 62% of the percentage [1:22:42] voted for Harris, 38% voted for Trump. [1:22:45] I mean, it just, everybody is hurting under Donald Trump now. [1:22:49] It is really. [1:22:50] It sucks. [1:22:51] Yeah. [1:22:52] You know, we were talking about Chipotle bowls. [1:22:53] Yeah. [1:22:54] It's little things like that. [1:22:55] I mean, and somebody reposted Stephen Miller. [1:22:59] Ironic, isn't it? [1:23:00] The internet's forever peewee German. [1:23:02] It says, Kamala will send your sons to war. [1:23:05] Remember that? [1:23:06] I mean, all of the fear mongering they did. [1:23:08] Yeah. [1:23:09] It's just everything that she said, she was right about absolute. [1:23:12] Oh, we also have Kamala was right about everything shirts, if you would like one of those. [1:23:16] And to our point that we talked to Bob Seska about and Karen of Chicago, Carrie says, anytime [1:23:21] someone asks what people think of their dream democratic, what their dream democratic [1:23:25] ticket is, I'm like, let me stop you right there. [1:23:27] At this point, I would vote for a ticket of a potato and a carnival goldfish, a honey badger [1:23:32] and that last weird heel of bread. [1:23:33] If it meant we never ever had to hear from or see that man or any person in this administration [1:23:38] again, literally put them in absolutely any combination that wants to defeat Trump. [1:23:43] And you can count me as a yes. [1:23:46] Thank you. [1:23:47] And my other point, Chris, does anyone else find this weird headline? [1:23:53] The FBI director just booked a flight to Moscow and the KGB's grandchildren are picking him [1:23:57] up at the airport. [1:24:00] Jack said a sitting FBI director hosted by Russia's spy service agenda blank timing weeks [1:24:06] before the midterms. [1:24:08] I mean, tell me about it, Chris. [1:24:12] The one thing he did declassify is, yes, of course Russia tried to help him again in 2020. [1:24:17] I mean, so you don't think that has to do with what can you do for us at the midterms? [1:24:22] When the Democrats get back into power, we can investigate it. [1:24:25] Oh, my God. [1:24:26] Can't really do anything about it right now. [1:24:27] Yes. [1:24:28] Vote blue, no matter who. [1:24:29] Please. [1:24:30] Did we mention that? [1:24:31] 29 minutes after the hour. [1:24:32] Coffee with Carlos coming up. [1:24:33] By not electing a fascist the next time, not electing a bigot, not electing someone who [1:29:17] is a grifter, not electing someone who's going to make money off of the presidency, someone [1:29:22] who's not going to be a criminal with 34 counts, and who's not going to be adjudicated [1:29:26] for sexually assaulting a woman, which the judge said was akin to rape. [1:29:30] That's what you do if you want to get America back to some symbol. [1:29:34] It's a normalcy. [1:29:35] Thank you, Don Lemon. [1:29:36] That's why he's no longer on CNN, and presumably neither am I for saying the exact same thing [1:29:41] last week on CNN. [1:29:44] He is an adjudicated rapist. [1:29:45] That is legally correct. [1:29:47] Yep. [1:29:48] Okay. [1:29:49] All right. [1:29:50] This is more important. [1:29:51] Leslie from Long Beach. [1:29:52] You know our beloved Leslie from Long Beach. [1:29:53] I trust her. [1:29:54] Yeah. [1:29:55] Noted lesbian. [1:29:56] Yes. [1:29:57] She said, she's a lot of wonderful things, but yes. [1:30:00] But in this case, it's important. [1:30:02] You need to lick that problem of yours, that homophobic problem of yours. [1:30:06] I'm doing no such thing. [1:30:08] As a longtime fan of the WNBA and the fever, Sophie's response to assumptions being made [1:30:12] about her, she said, I'm clearly white and from Missouri, so I think there was a lot [1:30:15] of assumptions there. [1:30:17] All I have to say is that really I'm right in the middle. [1:30:19] I think a lot of America is like that. [1:30:21] Oh, I could bring her to the light. [1:30:24] Well, not me. [1:30:25] I have a girlfriend, but someone could bring her fully into the light. [1:30:28] Just pull it. [1:30:29] Or you could push her further. [1:30:30] You know what's in the middle? [1:30:31] Sophie, you know what's in the middle? [1:30:32] Roadkill. [1:30:33] What? [1:30:34] Or you could push her further to the right by doing that. [1:30:36] I would not push her further to the right. [1:30:39] I would guide her lovingly to the left where all of the good people are. [1:30:44] All the super fun people. [1:30:46] Okay. [1:30:47] All right. [1:30:48] John says, want to get on Fox News and become famous? [1:30:52] Call yourself a lifelong Democrat and then warn everyone that the DSA is about to destroy [1:30:56] America. [1:30:57] Thank you. [1:30:58] Thank God. [1:30:59] I'm so tired of the... [1:31:00] Stop it! [1:31:02] With the infighting. [1:31:05] Stop it! [1:31:06] Okay. [1:31:07] Yeah. [1:31:08] Ban Jones needs to... [1:31:09] Yes. [1:31:10] And Fetterman can go Fetterman himself. [1:31:11] Well, I consider Fetterman a Republican. [1:31:12] I would not miss him if he joined the Republican Party today. [1:31:16] Yes. [1:31:17] He is the Kyrsten Sinema of Tulsi Gabbards. [1:31:18] Seriously. [1:31:19] Okay. [1:31:20] Oh, M. Clark says the primary elections in Arizona yesterday, your old state, prove once [1:31:25] again the Republican Party is dead. [1:31:26] What remains is the cult of Trump. [1:31:28] That's what we have to defeat in November. [1:31:30] Andy Biggs, noted election denier, right? [1:31:33] And another... [1:31:34] I can't remember which one. [1:31:36] Another election denier got in. [1:31:37] Yeah. [1:31:38] The Pinal County Sheriff who's running for Congress. [1:31:41] He's the one that's running on a Christian platform, but he's into swinging and cheating [1:31:48] on his wife and all that. [1:31:49] Yeah. [1:31:50] Yeah. [1:31:52] Vote for Katie Hobbs. [1:31:53] She is fantastic, and also she looks just like my friend Karen. [1:31:57] She's fantastic. [1:31:58] We have had her on, haven't we? [1:31:59] We have not had Katie Hobbs on. [1:32:00] Oh, I'm thinking of Jocelyn Benson. [1:32:02] Okay. [1:32:03] Anyway, Katie Hobbs is fantastic. [1:32:04] She is very... [1:32:05] I love her to death. [1:32:07] Yes. [1:32:08] Okay. [1:32:09] Yeah. [1:32:10] Rosemary says, so far we've paid $37.5 billion to close the Strait of Hormuz, [1:32:15] place our military in peril, and raise the cost of living for every American. [1:32:19] Thank you, Democrats, who did a great job yesterday grilling Pete Hegseth. [1:32:23] I mean, it just, it is astounding how much money they're asking for when none of us can [1:32:28] afford anything. [1:32:29] Oh, Harry Enten, by the way, about the war. [1:32:32] Okay. [1:32:33] Historically unpopular. [1:32:34] That's the phrase that I would use. [1:32:36] The war was unpopular to start off with, and it's become even less popular. [1:32:39] You could see it right here. [1:32:40] Okay. [1:32:41] Right into the Red Sea. [1:32:42] 40 points underwater, according to the Washington Post poll. [1:32:46] 68% of Americans, more than two in three, say the Iran war was not worth it. [1:32:52] Even less than the 40% who said the Iraq war was worth it. [1:32:56] Wow. [1:32:57] Wow. [1:32:58] Wow, wow. [1:32:59] By the way, did you see this? [1:33:00] Trump's lawyers filed an emergency motion demanding E. Jean Carroll return the $5.6 million [1:33:06] the jury ordered him to pay her. [1:33:08] Norton said, this is Trump. [1:33:09] This is the convict. [1:33:10] This is the president. [1:33:11] This is a disgrace. [1:33:12] And also the sorest loser that has ever lived. [1:33:15] Mm-hmm. [1:33:16] Mm-hmm. [1:33:17] Ah. [1:33:18] The thing that sucks about that is that she has to hire a lawyer to fend that off. [1:33:23] That's the point. [1:33:24] Yeah, exactly. [1:33:25] Matt in Westchester. [1:33:27] Hello. [1:33:28] Hi, Matt. [1:33:31] Hello, Matt. [1:33:33] Hi. [1:33:34] You hear me? [1:33:35] Yes, go ahead. [1:33:36] Hi, yeah. [1:33:37] So I'm all for all these Democrats that are doing what they need to do. [1:33:40] The one exception for me is going to be Andy Beshear, who is just sitting on his hands [1:33:44] doing absolutely nothing. [1:33:45] You're talking about the McConnell thing. [1:33:48] Yeah. [1:33:49] You know, I was going to bring this up. [1:33:50] There's a story about this. [1:33:53] He, I get he's in a tough position because you don't know Mitch's, but, but, but, you [1:33:58] know, again, he is a servant of the people. [1:34:01] How many of us would survive one or two days of no show and no call to our job, right? [1:34:06] Mm-hmm. [1:34:07] None of us. [1:34:08] So, you know, but I get the people are saying that he, you know, he perhaps needs to be more [1:34:12] aggressive because this is ridiculous at this point. [1:34:15] The speculation, by the way, I, I, sorry, I wasn't, I wasn't prepared for that. [1:34:20] Yeah. [1:34:21] Hold on. [1:34:22] Hold, please. [1:34:23] But a lot of people saying, yeah. [1:34:24] Tomlinson said, many of you don't know this. [1:34:26] I spent more than a decade in health insurance focused on Medicare population. [1:34:29] 84 year olds don't spend 37 days in the hospital for a fall and mild pneumonia. [1:34:35] They're sent home to long-term care or hospice. [1:34:37] Mitch McConnell is dead. [1:34:38] They're covering up to steal a Senate seat because they know November will be a bloodbath. [1:34:42] It does. [1:34:43] I mean, again, and I don't know, people are speculating brain dead. [1:34:46] You know, who knows? [1:34:48] He hasn't been forthcoming. [1:34:49] So that freezes up to speculate. [1:34:51] Right. [1:34:52] But I mean, honestly, I would not put this past this Republican Party or the Trump administration. [1:34:57] So I don't. [1:34:58] Because they're a win at all costs. [1:35:00] Right. [1:35:01] But I mean, obviously. [1:35:02] And here's the one thing. [1:35:03] Hold, please. [1:35:04] Hold, please. [1:35:05] Talk amongst yourselves for a minute. [1:35:06] You have a lot of stuff over there. [1:35:07] What is going on? [1:35:08] I, because there's been a lot of reporting on this. [1:35:11] I don't know what, legally, what Beshear's options are. [1:35:14] But I am for, as we always say, Chris, all of the above in how you fight this Republican Party. [1:35:20] Well, yeah. [1:35:21] You know what? [1:35:22] Do what Mitch McConnell would do. [1:35:23] Whatever dirty trick, whatever he would pull. [1:35:26] Well, you get that Beshear is a statewide. [1:35:28] Right. [1:35:29] Office. [1:35:30] And McConnell is a federal office. [1:35:32] So maybe that's where the disconnect is. [1:35:34] Right. [1:35:35] But his McConnell's constituents need to be banging down his door. [1:35:40] Yes. [1:35:41] And also, reporters, there's got to be people that actually know. [1:35:45] Right. [1:35:46] That could get in that facility. [1:35:47] That could find out seriously. [1:35:49] Right. [1:35:50] And quite honestly, Beshear is one of McConnell's constituents. [1:35:53] He could be the lead banger. [1:35:55] I found it. [1:35:56] I found what I was looking for. [1:35:57] Sorry, I didn't know that call-up was going to bring that up. [1:35:59] Okay. [1:36:00] No, there is a piece. [1:36:01] I think this was Daily Beast. [1:36:02] Mitch McConnell's aides launched new health cover-up. [1:36:04] Mm-hmm. [1:36:05] This should make every constituent in Kentucky, regardless of your politics, furious. [1:36:09] Mitch McConnell's staff have declined to answer basic questions about what work he's doing [1:36:14] 37 days after he was loaded into the back of an ambulance and vanished from public view. [1:36:19] By the way, his statement, which clearly seemed like it was written by a staffer and not him, [1:36:24] said, I didn't have a heart attack. [1:36:26] That's not what the 911 call said. [1:36:28] Right. [1:36:29] So they refused to even say if the Senator had spoken with any of them in recent days. [1:36:34] That makes me suspicious because they don't want to get caught. [1:36:37] Right. [1:36:38] If it comes out, you know, that he's been brain dead this whole time or dead. [1:36:42] Right. [1:36:43] So, despite the silence, the Daily Beast has established that taxpayer funds are being [1:36:47] spent on a semi-permanent guard at the Washington, D.C. hospital where he was taken on June 14th. [1:36:52] The row of black Capitol police unmarked SUVs sitting outside the George Washington University [1:36:57] Hospital is now the nearest thing that exists to proof of life. [1:37:00] Well, of course, if there's a cover up, that could be part of the cover up. [1:37:03] Just make them sit out there. [1:37:05] That's. [1:37:06] But they've done nothing to end the drip drip of whispers that McConnell is in a vegetative [1:37:10] state, brain dead or even secretly deceased while his staff covered up. [1:37:14] The staff also refused to comment on his cognitive state. [1:37:17] I mean, all of this just stinks to high heaven. [1:37:20] So, Beshear is also facing, as our caller sort of alluded to, facing a growing backlash [1:37:26] within his own party to be more aggressive against McConnell. [1:37:29] It had been a month before anything had been put out, not even an official statement from [1:37:33] Senator McConnell. [1:37:34] In fact, I've gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he [1:37:38] has passed, Beshear said on Saturday. [1:37:41] I mean, so this is the reporting in the Daily Beast and it seems like whatever is available [1:37:48] to him legally, he should do. [1:37:50] What is available to him legally? [1:37:51] Yeah. [1:37:52] That's what I don't know, you know, but it just, it's just another level of insanity [1:37:57] from this party. [1:37:58] Right. [1:37:59] The people of Kentucky deserve to know what's going on with their representation in Washington, [1:38:04] D.C. [1:38:05] By the way, I want you people, you to let people know if I've passed on and you're just doing [1:38:08] a, you know, AI so that you guys can keep your jobs. [1:38:11] Oh, but I think you owe it to my constituents to just to let them know. [1:38:14] The audience will never know. [1:38:15] We've been working on those models for a couple of years. [1:38:18] Yeah. [1:38:19] Okay. [1:38:20] I could be dead now. [1:38:21] How would I, you probably programmed me to say this in advance just to cover your tracks. [1:38:26] Don't put it past us. [1:38:27] Bastard. [1:38:29] Let's go to what? [1:38:30] Annie in Oklahoma. [1:38:31] Hello, Annie. [1:38:32] Hello, Annie. [1:38:33] Hey Steph. [1:38:34] Hi. [1:38:36] Hi. [1:38:37] How are you doing? [1:38:38] I could be dead, Annie. [1:38:39] I don't really know. [1:38:41] Well, you know, we can't really tell the difference, so that's good, right? [1:38:43] Thank you. [1:38:44] Thank you, Annie. [1:38:45] Thank you. [1:38:46] Donald's got it. [1:38:47] I mean, that's complimentary. [1:38:48] That's complimentary. [1:38:49] Thank you. [1:38:50] So I was, I was thinking about what Mary Trump said about her grandfather when he was 80. [1:38:58] He would get that, that same kind of deer in the headlights look that we've seen from [1:39:03] Donald. [1:39:04] I was curious. [1:39:05] How long did Fred Trump live after he, they really started to notice that? [1:39:10] Right. [1:39:11] Thirteen years. [1:39:12] Well, that's the thing, Annie, to our, to your point is we don't know, we obviously [1:39:16] don't know the truth about Trump's actual state, except what we can see with our eyes [1:39:20] and ears, right? [1:39:21] Well, but you know, you can hear with your, I see with your, you know what I'm saying? [1:39:25] Although- [1:39:26] What do I know? [1:39:27] You're AI, so you don't have eyes or ears. [1:39:28] I'm dead. [1:39:29] How do I even know? [1:39:30] Yeah. [1:39:31] Okay. [1:39:32] Cindy in Chicago. [1:39:33] Hello. [1:39:34] Oops. [1:39:35] I didn't do it right because I'm old or dead. [1:39:37] Hi, Cindy in Chicago. [1:39:38] AI would get that right. [1:39:39] I'm not in Chicago. [1:39:40] Oh, hi, Cindy. [1:39:41] Wherever you are. [1:39:42] Hello. [1:39:43] Go ahead. [1:39:44] I'm in Tacoma. [1:39:45] Okay. [1:39:46] That's why I didn't answer right about it. [1:39:47] I'm sorry. [1:39:48] That's okay. [1:39:50] Maybe, maybe Krista the screener is dead and that's AI. [1:39:53] It's not common. [1:39:55] Okay. [1:39:56] We don't have a fellow known who likes to name everything after himself. [1:39:58] Okay. [1:39:59] Let's call it Trump's trots. [1:40:01] What's that? [1:40:03] Say that again? [1:40:04] Call it Trump's trots. [1:40:05] Okay. [1:40:06] Oh, Trump's trots. [1:40:07] Oh, the diarrhea. [1:40:08] Yeah, that's funny. [1:40:09] Okay, I like that. [1:40:10] Yes, go ahead. [1:40:11] Second thing is terrifying. [1:40:12] I found out in a newspaper article written by Jessica Huseman of Voicebeat in October last [1:40:18] year. [1:40:19] Apparently, Dominion was sold to a Republican donor of Trump's. [1:40:25] Yeah, it was. [1:40:26] And they count for votes in 27 states. [1:40:29] Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye. [1:40:31] All right. [1:40:33] Oh, let's start. [1:40:34] Let's get in a quick. [1:40:35] Yeah, just because we have one every day, don't we? [1:40:37] Actually, we don't even get to them every day because there's too many of them. [1:40:40] When will Sophie Cunningham be a part of this? [1:40:42] Oh, look at all those scary white people. [1:40:44] Ah, four people including a pastor and his wife charged in church sex offender case in [1:40:49] South Carolina. [1:40:50] Yeah. [1:40:51] That concludes today's. [1:40:52] Oh, I could find more if you want. [1:40:54] Oh, yeah. [1:40:55] Would you? [1:40:56] Why not? [1:40:57] Absolutely. [1:40:58] Let's make it a game. [1:40:59] Okay. [1:41:00] Let's go. [1:41:01] Let's play. [1:41:02] Okay. [1:41:04] Oh, okay. [1:41:06] Dean Obadala, our friend says, four U.S. [1:41:09] service members were killed in the Iran war over the weekend. [1:41:11] Three at a base in Jordan. [1:41:12] That's as many U.S. [1:41:13] personnel killed as the Benghazi attack. [1:41:15] Yet what we don't see corporate media covering it like Benghazi. [1:41:18] More of the pro-GOP bias of corporate media on display. [1:41:21] Thank you, Dean. [1:41:22] Absolutely. [1:41:23] Aye, aye, aye. [1:41:24] Chris, who said Trump has weakened and isolated America by lazily choosing to invade Iran with [1:41:30] no allies, no international legitimation, and then no plan B to eliminate Tehran's ability [1:41:36] to build a weapon of mass destruction. [1:41:38] Instead, Trump enabled Iran to discover two incredibly cheap and effective weapons of [1:41:42] mass disruption, controlling the state of Hormuz and bombing America's Persian Gulf allies [1:41:47] nearly every time Trump bonds Iran. [1:41:49] Cookie Monster. [1:41:50] Cookie Monster. [1:41:51] No, that was a bad guess. [1:41:52] That was Thomas Friedman. [1:41:53] Thomas Friedman likes cookies. [1:41:57] All right. [1:41:58] Okay. [1:41:59] I'll just give that to you. [1:42:00] That's just a gimme. [1:42:01] Thank you. [1:42:02] It's a gimme putt. [1:42:03] All right. [1:42:04] Coffee with Carlos coming up. [1:42:05] This portion of the shoe brought to you by... [1:42:06] Good morning, Steph. [1:42:07] I don't know if you saw I caused a little bit of a hubbub on mainstream media. [1:42:10] I think I may have gotten booted off of CNN for stating that Trump is a 34 count [1:42:16] felon and also an adjudicated rapist. [1:42:18] Yeah. [1:42:19] Yeah. [1:42:20] That's shocking news, apparently. [1:42:22] Right. [1:42:23] Water is wet and fire is hot. [1:42:24] Yeah. [1:42:25] Oh, but there was a scramble in the studio as soon as you said that. [1:42:29] Boy. [1:42:30] Yeah. [1:42:31] Glenn, that's why we're where we are. [1:42:32] I mean, thank God we were saying, you know, one sliver of hope I'll take is ABC and NBC [1:42:36] didn't air this, what we knew was going to be complete nonsense and lies. [1:42:40] And of course, it turned out to be not only complete nonsense and lies, but prove the opposite, [1:42:45] that Russia interfered in 2020 to help him. [1:42:48] I mean, you're just like, how far gone is this guy? [1:42:51] Yeah. [1:42:52] Steph, there are just some things that are like smash mouth obvious regarding Donald Trump's [1:42:57] BS. [1:42:58] Just think about this. [1:42:59] I mean, in 2016, when the Obama administration was kind of loosely speaking overseeing elections, [1:43:06] I guess they were free and fair. [1:43:07] Donald Trump won. [1:43:08] In 2024, when Joe Biden's administration was in power, Donald Trump won. [1:43:14] But in 2020, when Donald Trump's administration was in power, there was massive fraud and Donald [1:43:23] Trump lost, even though his own agencies and executive branch officials, including Bill [1:43:28] Barr, for God's sakes, said free and fair elections, no fraud undermining the results. [1:43:33] I mean, it doesn't make any damn sense. [1:43:36] At least if you're able to separate, you know, truth from lies. [1:43:41] Yeah. [1:43:42] Yeah, no, absolutely. [1:43:43] So here's the thing we were saying yesterday, Glenn, before, that he's not going to, it's [1:43:50] too soon for him to go the steps where everybody's afraid of and openly talking about federal [1:43:55] control, seizing ballots, you know, martial law, whatever. [1:43:58] But God bless Senator Slotkin last night talking about this. [1:44:02] I want to get your take. [1:44:03] Here we go. [1:44:04] The president refuses to rule out, as does his cabinet, sending in uniform military. [1:44:08] And you have to think through these scenarios. [1:44:10] Think about that for a second. [1:44:11] I've had meetings with officials in Michigan. [1:44:14] What if they send in the military and they say, you know what? [1:44:17] We're coming into this voting location. [1:44:19] We're going to seize machines. [1:44:21] What will we do? [1:44:22] What if they don't have a warrant? [1:44:23] I mean, this is a, these are some really scary kind of tabletop exercises, things that we're [1:44:29] having here because the president has made clear this is not a joke to him. [1:44:34] This is not something he just says kind of offhandedly. [1:44:37] He's obsessed with it. [1:44:38] And so he's willing to really do anything to win, quote unquote, in November. [1:44:43] This is a fine needle we're threading. [1:44:45] Right, Glenn? [1:44:46] You and I talk about this every week. [1:44:48] God bless the Senator Slotkins and Warners and Kellys and all of them, you know, and the networks that are openly discussing what he may do to try to rig these elections. [1:44:58] That's the best we can do at preemption. [1:45:00] As you keep saying every week, he keeps losing lawsuit after lawsuit with the things he's tried so far. [1:45:05] But what's your reaction to what Senator Slotkin said? [1:45:08] You know, I agree that that is someplace Donald Trump wants to go. [1:45:13] I don't know if the military will comply. [1:45:18] Listen, I've lost a little bit of faith in our beloved military. [1:45:22] I've served active duty six and a half years. [1:45:24] I was taught that we must disobey unlawful orders. [1:45:28] And sending the military to the polls to seize ballot boxes or do anything really would be unlawful. [1:45:35] It would be unconstitutional. [1:45:36] It would be a gross abuse of presidential power. [1:45:39] And I think we need to be talking about this now and making sure that we send the message loud and clear that the military has to obey its oath of office of loyalty to the Constitution, not to the president. [1:45:53] So I agree it's a concern. [1:45:55] I agree Trump will want to go there. [1:45:56] I don't think, Steph, he will be able to do anything that will stop the blue wave that's coming. [1:46:03] I really don't. [1:46:04] Yeah, I know. [1:46:05] I agree. [1:46:06] That's what I mean about the fine needle we're threading is you want to superpower turnout, not depress it by going, oh, he's not going to let it happen anyway. [1:46:13] It doesn't matter. [1:46:14] But can I just say to your point about the military? [1:46:16] I don't know. [1:46:17] I just happened to see the video of this blow flyby. [1:46:19] Was it at Virginia Beach? [1:46:21] Pensacola. [1:46:22] In Florida. [1:46:23] In Florida. [1:46:24] Yeah. [1:46:25] I mean, I didn't know what it looked like until I saw it. [1:46:27] These people are terrified. [1:46:28] And as Mike said on X, this Top Gun should get Pete Kegbreath fired. [1:46:35] Someone could have been hurt or killed by the high speed, low altitude jet wash kicked up in the Blue Angels flyover. [1:46:42] I mean, that and flying by Kid Rock and all Hagseth can say is, oh, carry on, patriots. [1:46:48] I mean, this is such fake macho bull going on right now with the testosterone and leaving instructions to keep his brain dead body technically alive just to hold the seat is the most Mitch McConnell thing ever. [1:48:54] So Charlie Pierce sent us a Charlie Pierce sent me a link to a blog. [1:48:58] It's called Lawyers, Guns and Money, and they have like an extensive breakdown on the quandary that Bashir is in right now. [1:49:06] You know, Democrats in Kentucky want him to look strong and, you know, take decisive action on this, which is, you know, which is great. [1:49:13] But they say in this blog, it's not it's definitely not so simple for Bashir to do something thanks to political and legal realities in Kentucky. [1:49:21] People who watch Kentucky politics closely understand that the chance Bashir could find a way to get a Democrat into that Senate seat is very, very low. [1:49:30] Bashir's biggest problem with these Democratic voters and how he's handling the situation is the Democratic voters' ignorance. [1:49:36] To begin with, legal experts say Bashir has no authority to take action on McConnell's seat until the senator has resigned or died. [1:49:43] Yeah. [1:49:44] Now, news about that depends upon the senator or his people. [1:49:48] And if the senator and his people are keeping that. [1:49:50] Right. [1:49:51] There's nothing Bashir can do about that. [1:49:53] Well, it seems clear they're trying to push past this August deadline. [1:49:56] It absolutely does. [1:49:57] And I'm like, are we going to let them get away with this? [1:49:58] But the legal. [1:49:59] I mean, Lonnie was just saying, is there not any health worker, reporter, someone that can find out the truth about what what clearly looks to be a cover? [1:50:06] It clearly looks to be a cover. [1:50:07] But if a medical worker comes forward with that information, they're breaking they're breaking HIPAA laws. [1:50:12] And that is a big time violation. [1:50:14] Yeah. [1:50:16] I so. [1:50:17] Okay, then I'm back to reporters. [1:50:18] It's up. [1:50:19] Yeah, it's it's Bashir is in probably the worst spot possible also because he's a blue governor in a red state. [1:50:27] Yeah. [1:50:28] And can I just say I I love how he and Governor Pritzker are fighting and did not throw trans people under the bus. [1:50:34] You know, I'm a big Bashir fan, so I appreciate, you know, I think we're all just so frustrated because of the effery that Mitch McConnell specifically has gotten away absolutely for so many years. [1:50:44] And we're like, really, we're just gonna let this happen. [1:50:46] He's he knows his effery when it comes to politics. [1:50:49] He definitely does. [1:50:50] He's shown that throughout his entire career. [1:50:51] He's good at it. [1:50:52] I'm I'm with Bix. [1:50:53] He said the GOP is in a death spiral and there's only one thing that can save them. [1:50:57] Democrats being stupid. [1:50:58] You guys, we have to not be stupid. [1:51:00] OK. [1:51:01] Also, I just I can't get enough of the Olive Garden posts. [1:51:04] I don't care. [1:51:05] Elizabeth says I forgot to bring my ID to Olive Garden. [1:51:08] They immediately started reading me my marinara rights. [1:51:11] OK. [1:51:12] OK, that's funny. [1:51:13] That is funny. [1:51:14] John said, man, the worst thing is I went to Olive Garden. [1:51:16] My wife didn't have both her birth certificate and a passport to prove who she was. [1:51:19] And by the time the breadsticks arrived, they had deported her at El Salvador. [1:51:23] Mom says anything can happen, but I feel good that the Olive Garden and communism is all Republicans seem to have right now. [1:51:30] True. [1:51:31] Legal Step says the worst part about going to Olive Garden is the kids outside who want you to illegally buy pasta for them. [1:51:37] And Elite Two says Olive Garden barely asked people to wear pants. [1:51:40] And you think they're out here checking credentials? [1:51:42] No. [1:51:44] Is it in writing that you have to wear pants? [1:51:46] Because free and fair elections are in the Constitution. [1:51:49] The never ending pasta pass is not. [1:51:52] Kevin in D.C. [1:51:53] Hello. [1:51:55] Kevin. [1:51:56] Yes. [1:51:57] Hi there. [1:51:58] Yeah. [1:51:59] Hi. [1:52:00] Can you hear me? [1:52:01] Yes. [1:52:03] Hello. [1:52:04] Yes. [1:52:05] Oh, oh, oh. [1:52:06] Sorry. [1:52:07] There's so many things that, but I wanted just a quick thing about the way we treat miscreants the way they do. [1:52:13] Max Lamb, Max Millie, Cory Mills, et cetera, are still being championed by the Republican Party as we speak, despite all the horrific things. [1:52:23] You can check out the sexual and other misconduct we did. [1:52:26] And what did we do to that guy in Maine? [1:52:29] And what did we do to that gentleman in your very state that was the front runner for being governor? [1:52:35] They were both gone. [1:52:36] They were both gone. [1:52:37] So I really don't know how they continue to get away with the party of family values. [1:52:42] In fact, the very head of their party, Mr. Trump, should be called Mr. Epstein. [1:52:48] Yep. [1:52:49] Yep. [1:52:50] Absolutely. [1:52:51] Just to his point. [1:52:52] Here is Mike Johnson. [1:52:53] We apply them from their ballot after sexual assault allegations. [1:52:55] Two members of the conference, Max Miller and Cory Mills, face domestic violence allegations. [1:53:02] Why would you have hoped to keep them in the conference? [1:53:05] Well, the key word there is allegation. [1:53:07] We have a process here. [1:53:09] The House Ethics Committee works on those things. [1:53:11] Oh, I see. [1:53:13] I see. [1:53:14] Graham Plattner. [1:53:15] Those were also allegations. [1:53:17] Uh-huh. [1:53:18] That didn't go in front of any kind of- [1:53:19] They're not even a double standard. [1:53:20] We kicked them out. [1:53:21] They have no standards. [1:53:22] They don't care. [1:53:23] They know half of them are wife beaters and God knows what. [1:53:25] Sexual assaulters, allegedly. [1:53:27] No. [1:53:28] Mm-hmm. [1:53:29] You know what's not alleged? [1:53:30] That Carlos Alsraki is next. [1:53:31] Stephanie Miller Show. [2:01:28] The wildfires with seeing Trump almost come to a realization. [2:01:31] Well, we gotta stop the fires up there. [2:01:33] I've never remembered this happening. [2:01:34] Over the last four or five years, you saw it starting to take place. [2:01:39] Go on. [2:01:40] You're getting catastrophic. [2:01:47] He's discovering climate change while standing next to his idling jet. [2:01:52] The thing is causing this and we have got to get to the bottom of it. [2:01:56] Keep the engine running, guys. [2:01:57] All of them. [2:01:59] Does he like it? [2:02:00] Fantastic. [2:02:01] Okay. [2:02:02] Now, you know what? [2:02:03] Normally, we wait to support the sports with Carlos. [2:02:05] Yeah. [2:02:06] As I mentioned, I have a little crush on Sophie Cunningham. [2:02:08] I've never been to a WNBA game. [2:02:10] She's a WNBA player. [2:02:11] She's a hot blonde. [2:02:12] I don't know. [2:02:13] She and Kaitlyn Clark are amazing basketball players. [2:02:15] They seem like cute best friends. [2:02:16] I don't know. [2:02:17] Gigi says, Steph, don't get sucked into the online drama about Sophie and Kaitlyn Clark [2:02:21] being MAGA. [2:02:22] They are not. [2:02:23] MAGA's trying to claim them to divide people by race. [2:02:25] I'm a Fever fan who just went to a game a few weeks ago. [2:02:28] They are amazing talents. [2:02:29] Absolutely mesmerizing to watch. [2:02:30] Please don't paint them as MAGA. [2:02:31] All right. [2:02:32] Well, now I have to do my own research now. [2:02:34] I just blurted out, you know, something, and now I'm causing another whole frenzy. [2:02:40] Well, it's time to sport the sports. [2:02:43] That's good coffee. [2:02:44] I take it back, like my man. [2:02:46] Coffee with Carlos Els Rocky. [2:02:47] I have a Zimbabwe latte. [2:02:48] I'll have a quina cappuccino. [2:02:50] She never has a second cup of coffee at home. [2:02:52] Mountain-grown coffee. [2:02:53] Carlos Els Rocky. [2:02:54] I was going to make espresso. [2:02:56] And baked by Juan Valdez. [2:02:57] Coffee with Carlos. [2:02:58] Good to the last drop. [2:03:00] Carlos, I hate to harsh your World Cup buzz, but can I just say soccer is . . . [2:03:07] Wow. [2:03:09] No. [2:03:10] You just don't understand the game. [2:03:11] Wow. [2:03:12] Argentina jugaron muy, muy sucio. [2:03:14] No, no. [2:03:15] No me gusta como jugaron Argentina muy mal en España. [2:03:20] Spain had total class. [2:03:22] Argentina, I don't know what they were doing. [2:03:23] They were fighting, fighting, complaining. [2:03:24] Yes, I saw that. [2:03:25] I saw that. [2:03:26] Two shots on goal. [2:03:27] That final was not exciting because Argentina didn't show up. [2:03:30] However, the game before was basically an NBA all-star game with ten goals being scored. [2:03:33] I've never watched a second of soccer. [2:03:35] So I got invited to a World Cup party, and I stayed for the whole thing until the exciting, exciting conclusion of zero to zero. [2:03:41] So I left before the overtime, and I didn't even . . . [2:03:43] Uh-huh. [2:03:44] I'm like, well, wow, that was . . . [2:03:45] I don't . . . [2:03:46] Because, you know, then the announcers try to get you excited. [2:03:48] You know, they're like . . . [2:03:49] Okay, no, nothing happened again. [2:03:50] Like, you know what I mean? [2:03:51] They get all like . . . [2:03:52] Oh, something might happen. [2:03:53] No, nothing happened again. [2:03:54] Well, that's like saying the party was boring because I didn't get laid. [2:03:57] Well, what's your point? [2:03:58] Yes. [2:03:59] Yeah. [2:04:00] I also didn't get laid at the party. [2:04:02] You brought your nephew. [2:04:03] My girlfriend lives in San Francisco. [2:04:05] Yeah, you brought your nephew. [2:04:06] Yeah. [2:04:07] Oh. [2:04:08] Please. [2:04:09] That is the way soccer goes. [2:04:11] It's a battle of life. [2:04:12] In real life, you don't always score. [2:04:13] It's a battle. [2:04:14] It's a chess game. [2:04:15] I mostly don't score. [2:04:16] There's tension within the game. [2:04:17] There's the inner workings. [2:04:18] There's the . . . [2:04:19] In America, we score. [2:04:20] You don't . . . [2:04:21] Well, basketball, you could argue . . . [2:04:22] Basketball, you could score . . . [2:04:24] 200 points in the first half, and it doesn't matter until the last four minutes. [2:04:27] Yeah. [2:04:28] So the points are meaningless other than statistics. [2:04:30] The points don't matter. [2:04:31] Sure, yeah. [2:04:32] Unless Sophie Cunningham is making the baskets, and then it's hot. [2:04:35] Yeah. [2:04:36] America loves a great pitcher's duel. [2:04:37] Oh, my God. [2:04:38] They went into the ninth inning tied. [2:04:40] Nobody's got any hits. [2:04:41] Nobody's . . . [2:04:42] Nothing's happening. [2:04:43] But what a great game. [2:04:44] What tension. [2:04:45] A pitcher's duel where nobody got a base hit. [2:04:48] We love that, but we don't like soccer. [2:04:50] You know why? [2:04:51] Because we are not the best at it. [2:04:53] Good day, ma'am. [2:04:54] Wow. [2:04:55] I am going to find a way to make each and every person hate me this week over something. [2:05:00] I said good day. [2:05:01] Good day to you. [2:05:02] I liked your old man post. [2:05:06] You said, I'm in my 60s. [2:05:07] Coincidentally, the World Cup hydration in game breaks have aligned with my peepee breaks. [2:05:12] Yes. [2:05:13] Oh. [2:05:14] Yes. [2:05:15] Hydration break, expel break. [2:05:17] You're the urgent need to go guy in that fishing commercial with the old men. [2:05:21] I am the urgent need to go guy. [2:05:23] I literally was very, very tired. [2:05:26] A lot going on this weekend. [2:05:28] And at the final, during halftime, I just fell asleep during the whole 30 minute halftime [2:05:33] show. [2:05:34] I'm just sleeping. [2:05:35] Oh, that's the only thing I watched. [2:05:36] Madonna was great. [2:05:37] Speaking of old people. [2:05:38] I mean, Shakira was shaking and all. [2:05:39] I guess people were excited. [2:05:40] But that doesn't belong in football. [2:05:42] You can do that in the Super Bowl. [2:05:44] It doesn't matter. [2:05:45] But Shakira's hips don't lie. [2:05:46] They don't lie. [2:05:47] Right. [2:05:48] My hips do not lie. [2:05:50] Yeah. [2:05:51] The hydration break thing was stupid. [2:05:53] They ruined it. [2:05:54] But there was great viewership. [2:05:55] And you give me an hour of your show and I'll teach people to respect football. [2:05:59] Come on out to an LAFC game with your honey. [2:06:01] You should. [2:06:02] I'm going to invite you. [2:06:03] Okay. [2:06:04] Go to an LAFC game with them. [2:06:05] I will go. [2:06:06] It's much slower than the World Cup soccer. [2:06:07] Can you get me WNBA too good? [2:06:08] Okay. [2:06:09] Yeah. [2:06:10] You want to see Angel? [2:06:11] By the way, Clark and Cunningham. [2:06:12] Angel Reese is the one that's tearing it up. [2:06:14] I mean, this is white girl drama. [2:06:16] You know. [2:06:17] I've never watched a game. [2:06:18] I don't know anything that's going on. [2:06:20] I just want to. [2:06:21] Who's the hot bond? [2:06:22] Oh, she seems funny. [2:06:23] But Angel Reese is the one that's kind of tearing it up. [2:06:25] Oh. [2:06:26] Okay. [2:06:27] All right then. [2:06:28] Wow. [2:06:29] I'm going to. [2:06:30] You know what? [2:06:31] That whole segment, I don't even know what happened. [2:06:32] Listen. [2:06:34] Sport to sports. [2:06:35] You reposted someone who said, J.D. Vance traveled to Romania to see clemency for Trump's [2:06:38] friends, the Tate brothers. [2:06:39] Let's not let anyone forget it. [2:06:40] And you said, hey, Joe Rogan, any thoughts on that? [2:06:43] Right. [2:06:44] I cannot believe what a coward Joe Rogan is. [2:06:46] This guy could beat anybody up in the world. [2:06:49] Super strong. [2:06:50] Successful. [2:06:51] He's determined. [2:06:52] But he is a coward. [2:06:54] Yeah. [2:06:55] He had Trump on his show before the election. [2:06:57] He never pressed it. [2:06:58] Nope. [2:06:59] Same with Bill Maher. [2:07:00] Bill Maher is such a coward. [2:07:01] Why don't you have Mehdi Hassan on your show? [2:07:03] Yeah. [2:07:04] Let's discuss the Middle East with someone that's your equal. [2:07:07] Yeah. [2:07:08] There's stooges of people that just agree with you. [2:07:09] Have Dino Badala on. [2:07:10] Have John Fuglesang. [2:07:11] Have Hal Sparks. [2:07:12] Have Frangela. [2:07:13] I mean, there's so many. [2:07:14] You had Ben Affleck go against you and Sam Harris on the Egyptian thing. [2:07:17] Right. [2:07:18] On the Palestinian thing. [2:07:19] Yeah. [2:07:20] Have Fuglesang on. [2:07:21] Have Talia Rico on. [2:07:22] Yeah. [2:07:23] Have people on at the same time. [2:07:24] Have somebody on with JFK going, JFK Jr., what are you doing? [2:07:27] Why are you denying Medicare benefits to people in Minnesota and California? [2:07:32] Here's an idea. [2:07:33] Have John Leguizamo on. [2:07:34] Have I ever mentioned how much I love John Leguizamo? [2:07:36] Yeah. [2:07:37] We were doing off-Broadway together at the same time. [2:07:40] No. [2:07:41] And so we used to run into each other in our little rehearsal things. [2:07:43] And he is the nicest man ever. [2:07:45] Aw. [2:07:46] I love hearing that. [2:07:47] I think he's Colombian. [2:07:48] We've had him on the show. [2:07:49] I think he is Colombian. [2:07:50] Yeah. [2:07:51] Colombian and Puerto Rican. [2:07:52] I thought he just made a good point about this whole fear mongering about socialism. [2:07:57] Here he is. [2:07:58] Socialist programs are important like the post office, like the police department, like the [2:08:03] fire department, like the fire department, like your social security, like public education. [2:08:07] Yeah. [2:08:08] These are socialist programs. [2:08:09] It's not, you know, I'm a Democrat, socialist Democrat. [2:08:13] So, you know, I've always felt like it was important that everybody have access to the same things. [2:08:18] I felt like education shouldn't be a privilege. [2:08:20] It's a right. [2:08:21] Medicine is not a privilege. [2:08:24] It's a right. [2:08:25] Yeah. [2:08:26] Yeah. [2:08:27] Yeah. [2:08:28] I thought he made good points about what, you know, so what socialism actually is, but [2:08:31] go ahead. [2:08:32] It actually is. [2:08:33] And, you know, Jesse Waters on Fox going, I'm not going to pay for somebody else's kid [2:08:35] to go to college. [2:08:36] But that's the point. [2:08:37] And universities in California were very affordable before who? [2:08:40] Ronald Reagan. [2:08:41] And Ronald Reagan made the universities expensive. [2:08:44] Why? [2:08:45] Because he famously said, if you educate these people, they're not going to vote Republican. [2:08:49] And they knew it. [2:08:50] This has been a plan since the 60s. [2:08:51] Donald Trump, we love the poorly educated. [2:08:53] I mean, yeah. [2:08:54] And by the way. [2:08:55] You should want to pay for people's education. [2:08:57] I don't mind contributing to people's education. [2:08:59] I pay taxes. [2:09:00] It makes for a better society. [2:09:01] Thank you. [2:09:02] And speaking of California, can I just say, this is ever since my, as I called her, my, [2:09:07] you know, Fox News watching Republican Trump voting mom used to stay, because she always [2:09:12] watched Fox and she'd go, now, Steffi, I understand everyone's moving out of California. [2:09:17] I'm like, no, mom, no. [2:09:19] Man, look at the freeways. [2:09:20] I wish. [2:09:21] I've been doing this for years, right? [2:09:22] And I'm like, no, mom, still about 40 million people. [2:09:24] It would help rents go down. [2:09:26] But this is what, right? [2:09:27] Constantly, like, everybody's leaving. [2:09:29] Trump just said this yesterday. [2:09:30] Everybody's leaving. [2:09:31] Illinois and California. [2:09:33] Right? [2:09:34] Van posted. [2:09:35] People are fleeing California in droves. [2:09:37] Population of California over the last three years. [2:09:39] 2023, 38.9 million people. [2:09:42] 2024, 39.128 people. [2:09:45] 2025, 39.36 million people. [2:09:48] Like, as you said. [2:09:50] Yeah. [2:09:51] Tell me the next time I'm on the freeway. [2:09:52] Really? [2:09:53] Yeah, there's no one here. [2:09:54] It's a ghost town. [2:09:55] Every time I'm on the freeway. [2:09:56] I don't. [2:09:57] I would love for people to be leaving in droves. [2:09:59] Look at this traffic. [2:10:01] Yeah. [2:10:02] The people that are leaving. [2:10:03] Who are you, people? [2:10:04] Why are you going somewhere? [2:10:05] The people that are leaving. [2:10:06] All the Silicon Valley guys who don't want to pay any taxes into the system to help poor [2:10:10] people while we subsidize their businesses. [2:10:13] Hello, socialism. [2:10:14] Right? [2:10:15] Yeah. [2:10:16] Yeah. [2:10:17] Exactly. [2:10:18] Joy Behar also making some points. [2:10:20] We now have lost 17 service members in Iran. [2:10:23] And he has nothing. [2:10:24] Way more. [2:10:25] No plan. [2:10:26] The gas is up to $4 a gallon. [2:10:27] Yeah. [2:10:28] And now we put a 50% tariff on Canada, which is going to increase inflation and prices are [2:10:32] going to go up. [2:10:33] Thank you. [2:10:34] And there's the perfect metaphor for his administration, the diarrhea outbreak. [2:10:39] The explosive diarrhea. [2:10:41] The explosive diarrhea is just the perfect metaphor because everything is going up and [2:10:46] making a mess. [2:10:48] Yeah. [2:10:49] Go ahead. [2:10:50] She's correct. [2:10:51] No, and she's reiterating the points that I checked out a little bit of this video that [2:10:55] Fareed Zakaria made. [2:10:56] The country that's making out in the Iran war is China. [2:10:59] Yeah. [2:11:00] They're just sitting back and going, okay, you ruin it for yourselves. [2:11:02] We'll just take advantage of this relationship with everybody else. [2:11:04] They'll come to us for resources. [2:11:06] Yeah. [2:11:07] Yeah. [2:11:08] He's so stupid and dumb and petty. [2:11:11] And again, I don't want to hear this Merrick Garland nonsense that always keeps popping up. [2:11:16] Even Hunter Biden said it about his own dad. [2:11:18] Yes. [2:11:19] Yes, we played it. [2:11:20] We played it and I agree with him. [2:11:21] I'm just. [2:11:22] No, but Merrick Garland is an airbag. [2:11:24] Okay. [2:11:25] I know. [2:11:26] I obviously Trump and the Republican Party are the real villains. [2:11:29] However, Representative Adam Kinzinger. [2:11:32] Don't play the babysitter for crappy kids. [2:11:34] Adam Kinzinger posted, Garland didn't start his investigation until we had our first of [2:11:40] the summer hearings a year into our investigation. [2:11:42] And now he's incredibly silent. [2:11:44] Won't even come out to defend his career prosecutors who got fired. [2:11:47] I agree. [2:11:48] I just. [2:11:49] Give me Attorney General Katie Fang or Glenn Kirshner or Jack Smith or, you know, I'm sorry. [2:11:55] He. [2:11:56] But the length. [2:11:57] I understand it's going now on him, but he could have been much more aggressive. [2:12:00] We are. [2:12:01] We are just in a world of hurt. [2:12:02] Well, what's her name in Florida, Gannon or whatever, the Florida judge that blocked [2:12:06] that investigation. [2:12:07] That's not Garland's fault. [2:12:08] Eileen Cannon. [2:12:09] Yeah. [2:12:10] We assume that if Merrick Garland would have been on point and done everything right, [2:12:12] that none of this blockading and stalling and lying and cheating would have stopped. [2:12:17] No, they would always have been. [2:12:18] He still would have done the same thing. [2:12:19] Yes. [2:12:20] Who could have stopped that point blank again? [2:12:22] Point blank when the car is veering out of control. [2:12:25] The Republicans were at the wheel. [2:12:29] All they had to do was pull over and kick the driver out and they did it. [2:12:32] This is squarely on Republicans. [2:12:34] So. [2:12:35] I don't want to hear it. [2:12:36] Okay. [2:12:37] Who on his feet? [2:12:38] Good day sir. [2:12:39] Ah. [2:12:40] Boy, he usually takes two segments to get into his Seinfeld register and he is, wow. [2:12:44] That was, that was, uh, Gene, Gene Seinfeld. [2:12:47] I said good day, sir. [2:12:50] Um, yeah. [2:12:51] And they just, the blame game is insane. [2:12:54] Uh, uh, a days, a D says, uh, Hegseth is blaming Biden for ships that did not surrender [2:13:00] during a war. [2:13:01] Biden did not start while American personnel are, were not being killed. [2:13:04] Biden is no longer an explanation. [2:13:06] It is this administration's emergency, uh, exit from accountability. [2:13:10] I mean, what's going on? [2:13:12] Oh, you're playing, but yeah, you're playing, he's playing Seinfeld for you. [2:13:15] Thank you. [2:13:16] Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. [2:13:17] It was pathetic how many times he blamed Biden yesterday. [2:13:20] Right? [2:13:21] And you already wasted a million, a trillion dollars of our money because you didn't do [2:13:25] it right. [2:13:26] Right. [2:13:27] You have no, you had no plan. [2:13:28] You just wanted to, Bush was the same way. [2:13:31] Shock and awe. [2:13:32] Mission accomplished. [2:13:33] They just want bombs to go off like the freaking star spangled banner. [2:13:37] So people will be impressed, but they have no plan. [2:13:39] Yeah. [2:13:40] It's a, it's all performative nonsense. [2:13:42] Yeah. [2:13:43] Ken's breath is out of his mind. [2:13:44] Yeah. [2:13:45] Another post operation. [2:13:46] Epic fury was a historic victory. [2:13:47] He said now Hegseth is asking for 87 billion to keep fighting a war. [2:13:51] He said was one, three weeks after they started it. [2:13:53] I mean, he just got it. [2:13:55] This a rated yesterday as well. [2:13:56] He should. [2:13:57] Oh, Ossoff. [2:13:58] You look at Ossoff, Atticus, Atticus Finch, as we've called him. [2:14:01] Yes. [2:14:02] Look at his grace, his manner of speaking, his intelligence. [2:14:06] And you compare that with Drumpf. [2:14:08] What are we doing? [2:14:10] Someone called him another version of that. [2:14:12] That's Atticus Hunk or something. [2:14:13] Anyway, he's cute. [2:14:14] He could, he could break up my shift robe anytime. [2:14:17] Oh, I got that reference. [2:14:19] Hey. [2:14:20] Yes. [2:14:21] All right. [2:14:22] Here he is. [2:14:23] Now that you brought it up. [2:14:24] Bob, you or me, I'll tell you that. [2:14:25] Oh God. [2:14:26] Here we go. [2:14:27] You stated on March 8th, day nine of the war on 60 Minutes, you assured the American [2:14:32] people of Iranians surrender. [2:14:34] Does that remain your prediction? [2:14:35] Ultimately, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. [2:14:38] So just to review, you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the [2:14:44] war that Iran's military had been, quote, destroyed and made combat ineffective was a truthful [2:14:50] argument to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more for [2:14:53] the conflict. [2:14:54] The Senator's time has. [2:14:55] That is historic. [2:14:56] Yeah. [2:14:57] Pete Hegseth's time has run out in my opinion. [2:15:00] Susan Collins. [2:15:01] Yes, Susan Collins saying that. [2:15:02] The Senator's time has run out and I brought orange slices for the children. [2:15:09] Get out of here with her. [2:15:11] Come on, man. [2:15:12] I am concerned your time is up. [2:15:14] I'm very concerned, Beaver. [2:15:16] Larry Mondello came up with a fever. [2:15:19] You could get sick, too. [2:15:22] 20 minutes after the hour. [2:15:24] This portion of the show. [2:15:25] I was about to do that on CNN when I got kicked off the other night. [2:15:59] I was about to plug separate. [2:16:01] I was going to do Steffi's Book Club and sorry. [2:16:03] Have they had you on the view? [2:16:04] So you were trying to get banned from that channel, you're saying. [2:16:07] All right. [2:16:08] Well, good. [2:16:09] I respect you even more. [2:16:10] Yes, it was the one channel that had not banned me yet. [2:16:11] Yes. [2:16:12] Have you been on the view for your book? [2:16:13] No. [2:16:14] And let me tell you, we tried to get on the view for the book. [2:16:16] But yeah, you might recall last fall when the book came out. [2:16:19] ABC and Disney were in a bit of a dodgy place with Trump, but it wasn't the right time. [2:16:24] So it's nice that my book finally made it on there without me. [2:16:28] But I think this means Whoopi and I are now legally married in several states. [2:16:31] I think so. [2:16:32] Well, I hope that means they will have you on. [2:16:34] They should. [2:16:35] And good for her. [2:16:36] She has exquisite taste, can I just say. [2:16:39] Oh, indeed. [2:16:40] Look, I know. [2:16:41] I've seen the Ted Danson videos. [2:16:42] I know. [2:16:43] Oh, my God. [2:16:44] I forgot about that. [2:16:45] Oh, John Louise. [2:16:46] Holy crap. [2:16:47] Now you just ruined your chances of getting on the view. [2:16:49] Wow. [2:16:50] All right. [2:16:51] Fine. [2:16:52] People loving your new time slot here on SiriusXM right after the Stephanie Miller show. [2:16:58] Dee said, listening to John Fugelstein's show. [2:17:00] Martin Sheen said it better than anyone regarding Trump adding his name to the Kennedy Center. [2:17:04] Trump put his name on someone else's grave. [2:17:06] Wow. [2:17:07] Someone else said, great interview with Martin Sheen. [2:17:09] It was very interesting. [2:17:10] A true Christian. [2:17:11] Love your new time slot. [2:17:13] Oh, John. [2:17:14] We've had great. [2:17:15] Joey Reed was on this week. [2:17:17] We just had Congressman Glenn Ivey and my boo, my bae, my beau, Bonnie Watson Coleman. [2:17:21] It's been a great first week. [2:17:23] It's a pleasure to follow you and to have your audience be so lifelike compared to what I'm [2:17:27] used to in late nights. [2:17:28] So thank you. [2:17:29] Yes. [2:17:30] Oh, and Martin Sheen, I believe you said he cited me and Ilya Kazan as his favorite artists [2:17:38] that swear too much. [2:17:39] He cited you and he cited Ilya Kazan as his favorite artist who named names too much and [2:17:44] you as his favorite artist who, you know, you're so pretty, Stephanie. [2:17:47] Why? [2:17:48] Why with the cursing? [2:17:49] Why? [2:17:50] You're channeling my mom. [2:17:51] You're channeling my mom. [2:17:52] Why do you have to work so blue? [2:17:53] Dad, you're still here. [2:17:54] Dad's still here. [2:17:55] I mean, and Martin's so wonderful. [2:17:57] I mean, he gave my kid a rosary. [2:17:59] Martin, I never gave my kid a rosary. [2:18:01] I have several rosaries right here that he gave me. [2:18:03] I think he thinks I might burst into flame, but I didn't. [2:18:06] No, I think, but the rosary did catch on fire when it came into your house, right? [2:18:09] Yeah. [2:18:10] It has to cross the threshold for that. [2:18:11] Yeah. [2:18:12] And he loves you as well. [2:18:13] But yeah, you know, with the language stuff, he really, really- [2:18:15] I love him. [2:18:16] I love him so much. [2:18:17] I do too. [2:18:18] He's the best. [2:18:19] I'm sorry, but his wife is the one that made the t-shirt and gave it to all of us that [2:18:22] says, Trump grabbed me by my country, spelled a certain way. [2:18:26] Wow. [2:18:27] Okay. [2:18:28] Just saying. [2:18:29] He's married to a potty mouth. [2:18:30] So, you know, that's why he loves. [2:18:32] Okay. [2:18:33] He wants it. [2:18:34] He just doesn't want to say. [2:18:35] Okay. [2:18:36] God. [2:18:39] You also said, you know, maybe it's okay for some people to go ahead and skip vaccines. [2:18:42] Yes, I- [2:18:43] You know what? [2:18:44] Yeah, I've decided. [2:18:45] You know what? [2:18:46] Maybe some of these guys, yeah, go ahead. [2:18:47] Between the measles and the flu, and now the screw worm, and now the explosive diarrhea. [2:18:52] You know, every time they vote for Caligula, God sends a new plague. [2:18:56] I'm like, go ahead. [2:18:57] Go ahead. [2:18:58] Did you see? [2:18:59] I tuned in last night to see the speech, and I'm like, oh, that's the explosive diarrhea [2:19:03] I've been reading so much about. [2:19:04] Yes. [2:19:05] Yes. [2:19:06] Yes. [2:19:07] Thanks, RFK Jr. [2:19:08] Yeah. [2:19:09] I busted out my Let's Go Darwin t-shirt this past week because, yeah, here we are again [2:19:13] with the, what is it? [2:19:14] Exploding- [2:19:15] Explosive diarrhea. [2:19:16] Exploding ass lettuce. [2:19:17] It's cyclospora. [2:19:18] Yeah. [2:19:19] I've written a lot about it. [2:19:20] I'm going to do a very, very deep, intensive tonight on SiriusXM. [2:19:24] And yeah, it causes explosive, watery diarrhea. [2:19:28] And the funny thing is, see, they cut, the CDC cut the professionals who monitor this [2:19:33] and surveil it for budget reasons, because for efficiency, I think is the word, Elon. [2:19:39] Efficiency. [2:19:40] You know what's not efficient? [2:19:41] Explosive diarrhea is not efficient. [2:19:44] And firing the people whose job is to find a parasite before it finds you is not efficient. [2:19:49] But RFK Jr., man, he keeps the gift that keeps on giving. [2:19:53] Yeah. [2:19:54] We're going to have a run on Taylor Farms bag lettuce out here from actresses. [2:19:58] Have a run on it. [2:19:59] Have a run on it. [2:20:00] I get it. [2:20:01] It's a much cheaper Ozempic. [2:20:02] Okay. [2:20:03] It's really hard, by the way, to write jokes about this. [2:20:05] Because the fact is, diarrhea is so unpleasant, none of us have ever bothered to learn how to [2:20:10] accurately spell it. [2:20:11] You know what? [2:20:12] I have to stop in the middle of the word every time I spell it. [2:20:15] Don't. [2:20:16] Without looking. [2:20:17] Without looking. [2:20:18] Where does the H go? [2:20:19] None of us know. [2:20:20] None of us know. [2:20:21] How do you spell diarrhea? [2:20:22] H-E-A. [2:20:23] H-E-A at the end. [2:20:24] It's the only medical condition none of us can spell during an emergency, people. [2:20:28] Oh, golly. [2:20:29] Then we've entered the phase of don't ask, don't test. [2:20:32] That's where we are right now. [2:20:34] You just say that because you're low T. [2:20:36] Are you low T, John? [2:20:37] That's right. [2:20:38] Oh, I'm so low T, I can go work for Pete Hegseth. [2:20:41] Yeah. [2:20:42] Boy, what a great way to announce to the rest of the world that our fighting force is actually [2:20:46] an elite group of namby pamby girly men, isn't it? [2:20:49] Stephanie Miller. [2:21:06] Stephanie Miller. [2:21:22] It is the Stephanie Miller show. [2:21:23] Wait, is that my boss? [2:21:24] Is that the boss? [2:21:25] That's the boss. [2:21:26] Okay. [2:21:27] Hold, please. [2:21:28] Who's that douchebag from Journey? [2:21:29] Oh, that guy. [2:21:30] Oh, the keyboard player. [2:21:31] Yeah. [2:21:32] Yes. [2:21:33] Wait. [2:21:34] Hold, please. [2:21:35] I had this somewhere. [2:21:36] First of all. [2:21:37] Sam is our resident rocker, so he knows. [2:21:38] Yes. [2:21:39] Hey, I don't want to say the guy's dumb, but the lights have definitely gone down in the [2:21:42] city. [2:21:43] You know what I'm talking about? [2:21:44] It's even funnier when he's like old man rants. [2:21:46] I'm like, aren't you the same age as Bruce? [2:21:47] Yeah. [2:21:48] Thank you. [2:21:49] And first of all, people on the right, they're like, that's fine. [2:21:51] But he's like telling Bruce Springsteen to shut up about politics. [2:21:54] Right. [2:21:55] It's fine. [2:21:56] So what's his, that crazy Paula White person? [2:21:58] Yeah. [2:21:59] Yeah. [2:22:00] Okay. [2:22:01] Oh, he is? [2:22:02] Yes. [2:22:03] The crazy preacher that speaks in tongues. [2:22:04] Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang. [2:22:07] Yes, baby posted. [2:22:08] Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain is criticizing Bruce Springsteen, telling him to act like [2:22:13] he was born in the U.S., which he was, but okay, I get it, because born in the U.S. [2:22:18] Oh, that was clever. [2:22:19] Saying he should shut up about political issues, calling the boss an annoying, bitter old [2:22:23] man. [2:22:24] He was a vocal Christian who wrote a song about being faithful before cheating on his [2:22:28] wife, has been married three times, and proudly performed for a child predator. [2:22:32] But sure, Bruce is the one that should shut up. [2:22:34] Yeah. [2:22:36] Hey. [2:22:37] James Wood and John Boyd are like, get him at my party. [2:22:39] Did he write Faithfully? [2:22:40] I don't know. [2:22:41] Is that what they were referencing there? [2:22:42] I don't know. [2:22:43] I'm forever your, ooh, who's that? [2:22:46] Faithfully. [2:22:48] Sam, musical thoughts? [2:22:50] Okay. [2:22:51] I mean, I'm from the Bay Area, and I'm not the biggest fan of church. [2:22:54] I'm not the biggest fan of church. [2:22:55] Oh, yeah. [2:22:56] Yeah. [2:22:57] Oh, come on. [2:22:58] You just stopped believing, that's all. [2:23:00] That's it. [2:23:01] That's it. [2:23:02] Whacka, whacka, whacka. [2:23:03] Don't stop believing. [2:23:06] Vic says, I've been watching Congress grill Pete Hegseth for a couple of hours now. [2:23:10] I've counted 10 times Hegseth's referred to Biden to defend the Trump administration's [2:23:14] failed policy and waste of taxpayer money, waging Trump's illegal war. [2:23:17] What a pathetic loser. [2:23:18] Uh-huh. [2:23:19] Oh. [2:23:20] Yeah, go ahead. [2:23:21] By the way, we just skated over the 18 dead service members. [2:23:24] Yeah. [2:23:25] I probably think it's way more. [2:23:27] Thank you. [2:23:28] I don't trust his administration. [2:23:30] No, not at all. [2:23:31] Excuse me. [2:23:32] At all. [2:23:33] Oh my God, you complete me. [2:23:34] You just teed up this for me. [2:23:36] Spencer says, Justin whistleblowers are saying thousands of American service members in Iran [2:23:40] are severely injured. [2:23:41] Sure. [2:23:42] Yep. [2:23:43] I believe that. [2:23:45] Yeah. [2:23:46] This is all going to come out, Carlos, right? [2:23:48] That reporter, how do you know? [2:23:50] What do you know that I don't know? [2:23:52] She's like, well, tell us, dude. [2:23:54] Right. [2:23:55] Right. [2:23:56] Don't keep secrets. [2:23:57] Be forthright. [2:23:58] We're doing a great job. [2:23:59] Everything's a great job. [2:24:00] Sir, I got a par three on that hole. [2:24:04] I counted 11 swings in the sand trap. [2:24:07] What do you mean? [2:24:08] By the way, he's back to threatening war crimes this morning. [2:24:11] Did you see he's like, we'll blow up a power plant or a bridge for every ship they fire [2:24:15] on. [2:24:16] Okay, you're just announcing your war crimes in advance. [2:24:18] And it's also kind of like, you know, his, what he said, you know, if you don't report [2:24:25] the deaths from COVID, you know, they don't exist. [2:24:28] This is the same thing. [2:24:29] Yeah. [2:24:30] Let's keep the numbers down. [2:24:31] Exactly. [2:24:32] Yeah. [2:24:33] 29 minutes after the hour. [2:24:34] Coffee with Carlos. [2:29:14] Militarily, financially, politically in every possible way. [2:29:18] And that off ramp's there anytime they want it to make a deal and to honor and abide [2:29:23] by that deal. [2:29:24] But if they think they can cross America and get away with it, they and everyone watching [2:29:28] around the world is learning a very clear lesson about America and President Trump. [2:29:32] Oh, KPU German. [2:29:33] He's such a dork. [2:29:34] What a goon. [2:29:35] We found his tweet from during the campaign. [2:29:37] If you vote for Kamala, she'll send your sons to war. [2:29:40] Ay yi yi. [2:29:41] Other 98 said, watching these generals begging for one and a half trillion dollars after starting [2:29:46] a ridiculous war of choice we are currently losing is absolutely disgusting. [2:29:50] I thought it was America first and he promised no new wars. [2:29:54] Right. [2:29:56] And Stephen Miller is just such a Nazi goon. [2:29:58] What a. [2:29:59] Yeah. [2:30:00] I don't see how you cannot look at that and see bright neon arrow signs pointing to bad [2:30:07] guy. [2:30:08] Bad guy. [2:30:09] Yeah. [2:30:10] Bad guy. [2:30:11] It's so obvious. [2:30:12] Yeah. [2:30:13] Yeah. [2:30:14] You're a Republican from Indiana. [2:30:16] President Trump has done so much to bring long term lasting peace to the Middle East. [2:30:21] Oh. [2:30:22] The Abraham Accords in the first Trump term and now what he's doing in this term to wipe [2:30:26] out Iran's military, to wipe out their ability to have a nuclear weapon and to prevent them [2:30:32] from funneling money to Hezbollah and Hamas and terrorist proxy groups. [2:30:36] Wow. [2:30:37] That's peace that we're looking at. [2:30:38] That's what's happening in the Middle East, unprecedented peace. [2:30:41] Yeah. [2:30:42] I would say he should take a trip there. [2:30:44] Yeah. [2:30:45] Vacation. [2:30:46] All right. [2:30:48] Carlos, you've been a good boy so I'm going to sport the sports again for you. [2:30:50] There we go. [2:30:51] Let's do it. [2:30:54] Thank you. [2:30:56] Someone posted, it's funny, Trump is out here bragging about how he was the only one [2:31:00] that could bring a World Cup to America but the selection was made when Obama was president [2:31:04] in 2016. [2:31:05] This was not the first World Cup America is hosted, 1994. [2:31:08] Trump lies because no one ever checks him on his lies. [2:31:11] Exactly. [2:31:12] He loves to take credit for the successes of others. [2:31:14] And said there is not a single piece of valor that Trump won't blatantly steal. [2:31:18] I mean, it is just endlessly embarrassing the way he tried to, what did John Stewart call [2:31:23] them? [2:31:24] Kankles Muldoon? [2:31:25] Just like getting his way to Spain's picture. [2:31:28] Then they cut him out. [2:31:29] Yeah. [2:31:30] It's just, it's like a really crappy birthday clown that the kids don't like. [2:31:35] Oh, they want me to be here. [2:31:37] No, get away, Bobo. [2:31:38] Get out. [2:31:39] They hate you. [2:31:40] Your magic tricks stunk and you stink. [2:31:44] Take a shower. [2:31:45] Go away. [2:31:46] Stop farting on our kids. [2:31:48] Hey, I'm going to make a balloon. [2:31:49] And not to mention, he had just insulted Spain. [2:31:53] First of all, he had that stupid red card cheating thing that was already, you know, [2:31:58] he already tried to ruin the World Cup. [2:32:00] And then you're just like, oh my God, get them out of, let them have their moment. [2:32:04] And he had just insulted Spain. [2:32:06] Yeah. [2:32:07] Yeah. [2:32:08] Go ahead. [2:32:09] Well, what's ironic now is they're saying that maybe he didn't even have anything to [2:32:11] do with that red card that FIFA did it on. [2:32:13] But then he injected himself as if he did have something to do with it. [2:32:17] Right. [2:32:18] Into everything. [2:32:19] And if you did, the best outcome is that you cheated, which is what you usually do. [2:32:23] If I don't get my way, we were talking about this off air about the 6,700 votes that [2:32:27] were flagged in 2023 in New Jersey by Mikey Sherrill and the DMV accidentally did it. [2:32:32] 400 people voted. [2:32:34] Right. [2:32:35] Oh my God. [2:32:36] First of all, she found it. [2:32:37] She announced it immediately. [2:32:38] She's fixing it, making sure it never happens. [2:32:40] But of course, they're going to use that to push the SAVE Act and go, oh, see. [2:32:44] And when we play the phone call of a sitting U.S. president calling for 12,000 more votes, [2:32:51] that doesn't even register. [2:32:53] Yeah. [2:32:54] But 400 people voting out of 6,000, I mean, out of 6.5 million. [2:32:57] The Heritage found it. [2:32:59] And conservative Heritage, they're the ones that found, I don't know, .00001% of people [2:33:04] vote, you know, accident. [2:33:07] And obviously it's an accident when it happens. [2:33:09] It's not, vote illegally or whatever. [2:33:11] They're not doing it on purpose. [2:33:12] They assume that they have some sort of asylum which allows them to vote, but they can't. [2:33:16] Right. [2:33:17] By the by, can I just say, thinking of just immigration, et cetera. [2:33:22] Chelsea says, can we talk about this? [2:33:24] FBI Director Cash Patel personally told prosecutors to stop investigating the killing of Rene Goode [2:33:29] by ICE agents in Minneapolis. [2:33:30] The New York Times reported he did it because the truth would contradict what the president [2:33:34] had said happened. [2:33:35] An FBI agent tried to open a civil rights investigation. [2:33:38] She was told to reclassify it to protect the shooter. [2:33:41] Instead, she refused and resigned. [2:33:44] It's just every day, Carlos, there is another just I'm afraid no one's ever going to trust [2:33:51] any part of the government again. [2:33:53] Right. [2:33:54] They just lie and lie and lie. [2:33:56] That's his, they have to go over the cliff with him. [2:34:00] That's why J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, I will not stop fighting this con man and cut to, [2:34:05] oh my God, Trump. [2:34:06] How about this? [2:34:07] Reporter, was there an agreement on election interference during your talk with the Chinese [2:34:10] foreign minister, Marco Rubio? [2:34:12] We didn't discuss the topic. [2:34:13] Tennessee Holler said, all the evidence you need that Trump's prime time speech was a [2:34:17] giant hot air, hot air lie intended only to set up theft of the next election is right [2:34:21] here in this clip. [2:34:22] And then they asked Trump, then why are you treating Xi so well now? [2:34:26] Well, that was before. [2:34:27] I think he's been, that was before. [2:34:30] He's better now. [2:34:31] You know, I'm not going to say anything now. [2:34:32] And the intelligence was that China didn't interfere, that they decided it wasn't worth [2:34:36] it. [2:34:37] Yeah. [2:34:38] Okay. [2:34:39] Anyway. [2:34:40] Jesus follower says, I think my favorite Bible verse is the one where the disciples praise [2:34:44] Jesus for not taking a salary, but then Jesus increases his net worth by $2 billion [2:34:48] during his term as savior. [2:34:49] Yeah. [2:34:50] Yes. [2:34:51] I remember that. [2:34:52] He can turn water into Bitcoin. [2:34:56] God says lots of people with three teeth voting for people with six yachts. [2:34:59] Yes, definitely. [2:35:04] Um, one more. [2:35:05] I say friendly reminder, you're closer to becoming an unhoused climate refugee than you [2:35:09] are to becoming a billionaire space tourist. [2:35:11] Um, Carlos, it has been the issue like forever, but you know, that we won't deal with again in [2:35:16] the midterms is people voting against their self interests. [2:35:19] Yes. [2:35:20] I mean, you have to ask, is it bad enough this time? [2:35:23] Is everything expensive enough that people finally, you know, basically what the Republics [2:35:28] are saying is that we can't fix this for you. [2:35:30] But look what's coming for you. [2:35:32] Dark brown people. [2:35:33] We can't help you with your situation at all. [2:35:36] But guess what? [2:35:37] If we let those brown people in, it's going to be worse. [2:35:39] Yeah. [2:35:40] Really? [2:35:41] Why don't you guys have policy that fears always work? [2:35:43] Lee Atwater knew that. [2:35:44] Yeah. [2:35:45] And this is Lee Atwater times seven to the exponential power of 25. [2:35:49] Uh, Guy Fawkes said, uh, Victor Orban was in power for 16 years. [2:35:53] It took an 80% voter turnout to oust him from power. [2:35:56] This post is, is not about Hungary. [2:35:58] Yep. [2:35:59] I mean, that it's like, we've been having this discussion forever. [2:36:02] What will get the other half of America to wake up and get off their couch and vote? [2:36:07] I mean, half of America doesn't vote. [2:36:10] Huh? [2:36:11] What is that? [2:36:12] What is that line in the sand that gets them to go? [2:36:14] Does he have to like literally like eat a baby's intestines live on the White House lawn for them to go? [2:36:22] You know, I'm beginning to think Trump is not really stable. [2:36:25] No, no. [2:36:26] The baby wanted me to eat the intestines. [2:36:28] He said, you gotta, you gotta save me. [2:36:30] I have a very painful. [2:36:32] He would spin it. [2:36:33] I mean, they would believe. [2:36:34] Look at Jim Jones. [2:36:35] They were literally drinking poison punch for Jim Jones. [2:36:38] These. [2:36:39] That's how far it has to go. [2:36:40] Yes. [2:36:41] These two headlines. [2:36:42] So, Trump's White House's plane maxing post on X has critics cringing. [2:36:47] They shared a photo of Trump on the, this is the bribe jet, with the word plane maxing. [2:36:53] We're paying for that. [2:36:54] That's taxpayer money. [2:36:55] Again. [2:36:56] And so Mason said, this is what you're, this is what you're tweeting about as we lose more [2:37:01] U.S. soldiers and Trump's failed war in Iran for Israel. [2:37:05] And then the other headline is 101.5 million children have lost food aid since last July. [2:37:11] Thank you, Elon. [2:37:12] That's, by the way, we talked about the primaries in Arizona. [2:37:15] Arizona is the sharpest, has seen the sharpest decline. [2:37:18] Are they going to keep voting for these Trump, you know, Trump MAGA, you know, election denying [2:37:24] lunatics in Arizona. [2:37:25] Run out of water. [2:37:26] Those Trump people are winning the primaries, but they've been losing the generals quite [2:37:31] a bit. [2:37:32] Right. [2:37:33] More than 4 million people nationwide were dropped from SNAP in this last year. [2:37:37] And that means, you know, one and a half million children. [2:37:41] We, Chris and I talked about, they just cut funding for AIDS. [2:37:46] I mean, it's, by the way, and just Green Colorado posted, just finished this podcast [2:37:52] and interviewed a gay man living in L.A. in the 80s. [2:37:54] One quote that stood out, if you were gay and had a guest room in the 80s in L.A., someone [2:37:58] died in it. [2:37:59] Yeah. [2:38:00] The horror of the AIDS epidemic is something I will never comprehend. [2:38:02] Even if you survived, you were left permanently scarred. [2:38:05] I mean, there is not a person. [2:38:06] Thanks, Ronald Reagan. [2:38:07] Yeah. [2:38:08] But there's not a person that all of these cuts and just horrific policies haven't impacted, [2:38:13] Carlos. [2:38:14] Yeah, they're seeing it coming. [2:38:17] The failure of the Republicans is such that they really have to double down on all of their [2:38:22] performative fear mongering, all of their posturing, all of their fights at the White [2:38:26] House, all of their 250 year celebrations with faded ex-rock stars. [2:38:31] That's all they can do. [2:38:32] There's no policy coming from the Republicans. [2:38:36] They spend most of their time defending horrible policy choices by a deranged lunatic. [2:38:42] Right. [2:38:43] It's so it could stop tomorrow. [2:38:46] 25th Amendment. [2:38:47] Yep. [2:38:48] Get rid of it. [2:38:49] Get rid of the administration and start over. [2:38:51] Let's come together. [2:38:52] Can I just. [2:38:53] Why are we standing for the national anthem when a president says, I'm not giving aid to [2:38:58] California? [2:38:59] I'm not giving. [2:39:00] You're a national country. [2:39:01] Yeah. [2:39:02] Yeah. [2:39:03] Well, and I. [2:39:04] This is why I keep. [2:39:05] I just have a massive Hunter Biden crush. [2:39:06] But someone else said, Hunter Biden, you are everything we didn't know we needed this [2:39:09] year. [2:39:10] Keep doing what you're doing. [2:39:11] And the thing he said recently, Hunter Biden defended his father, saying my dad may have [2:39:16] slowed down physically, but he never lost his judgment. [2:39:19] Not a single person on record has said Joe Biden wasn't present, engaged or fully capable [2:39:23] of carrying out the responsibilities of the presidency. [2:39:26] Does turning 83 automatically mean someone has dementia? [2:39:29] Of course not. [2:39:30] My father's record and legacy speaks for itself. [2:39:32] I mean, the way the look at the way the media covered Benghazi. [2:39:36] Have you seen much at all about 18 Americans being dead in this stupid around? [2:39:41] Or even the exit from Afghanistan where 13 people died because Trump negotiated a stupid [2:39:45] end of the Taliban with the Taliban outside of the Afghan government. [2:39:49] So it was always going to be a vacuum. [2:39:51] Did Biden act hastily? [2:39:52] Probably so. [2:39:53] David Axelrod said as much. [2:39:55] David Axelrod. [2:39:56] We're going to fight that fight again. [2:39:58] Biden should have dropped out. [2:39:59] All right. [2:40:00] You never should have stepped on that debate stage. [2:40:01] I agree. [2:40:02] Randy. [2:40:03] He's got to own it. [2:40:04] Randy. [2:40:05] Randy Mayhem singer says, OK, fine. [2:40:07] Wishing him dead is inappropriate. [2:40:08] I wish for the day he gets back together with his first wife. [2:40:11] See? [2:40:13] For those of us that believe in everlasting love. [2:40:15] Let's just say it. [2:40:16] The one that was pushed down the stairs. [2:40:17] What? [2:40:18] Chris, are you implying? [2:40:19] Are you implying that it was. [2:40:20] Hey, look, there's a chocolate coin on the stairs. [2:40:23] There's a chocolate coin on the stairs. [2:40:26] Happy Hanukkah. [2:40:28] 45 minutes after the hour. [2:40:31] It was an owl. [2:40:32] The owl got inside. [2:40:33] This portion of. [2:40:35] He dropped down 39 steps. [2:40:37] This portion of the show brought. [2:40:38] Trump is doing and what Hegseth is doing and what ice is doing. [2:40:44] Yeah. [2:40:45] Is is terrorism. [2:40:46] They're they're using these tactics to terrorize the American people to instill fear to ultimately [2:40:55] keep Americans from going to the polls. [2:40:58] The way ice is violating the constitutional rights of not just undocumented immigrants, [2:41:04] but documented immigrants and American citizens and visitors to the United States. [2:41:08] This is terrorism. [2:41:09] This is designed to instill fear writ large. [2:41:12] So I'm so good. [2:41:13] You keep bringing stuff up that now I have to ask you about. [2:41:16] So Tom Holman. [2:41:17] Here we go. [2:41:18] Here we go. [2:41:19] It all goes back to the Dems who want to continually attack ice and tell people to evade them. [2:41:23] Tell people don't comply. [2:41:25] Tell people to resist and tell people ice isn't real law enforcement agency. [2:41:29] I said, if the hateful rhetoric didn't stop, there will be bloodshed. [2:41:32] And I'm saying it right now. [2:41:33] There's still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ice enforce [2:41:38] the laws that they enacted. [2:41:40] Wow. [2:41:41] Wow. [2:41:42] Wow. [2:41:43] Wow. [2:41:45] That's fascism 101. [2:41:46] Just sit down, sit down, be quiet and take a bullet to the back. [2:41:49] If you don't stop, if you don't shut up about us killing citizens in cold blood, we're going [2:41:54] to kill more citizens. [2:41:55] Yeah. [2:41:56] Sounds like we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. [2:41:58] So how about we do? [2:41:59] How about we stand up to the illegality and the unconstitutionality? [2:42:03] No, we're not going to lay down and take a bullet to the back or the head or the thigh. [2:42:07] Tom, we're not going to do it. [2:42:09] Yeah. [2:42:10] All right, so- [2:42:11] How could you understand a word he said anyway? [2:42:12] I was going to say, I need a translator from- [2:42:14] He needs to enunciate a little better. [2:42:15] Okay. [2:42:16] It's the war against enunciation. [2:42:19] Yeah. [2:42:20] Representative Jim Himes with the same thought. [2:42:22] Just want to- [2:42:23] Understand what happened tonight. [2:42:24] The president was setting the context. [2:42:26] He was setting the basis for him to turn around at midnight on election day and say, [2:42:31] I warned you. [2:42:32] I warned you back in July that the Chinese were doing XYZ and the Venezuelans were doing XYZ [2:42:36] and all this terrible stuff. [2:42:37] It happened tonight. [2:42:38] I am deploying federal officers from the Department of Homeland Security to seven states. [2:42:43] They will be seizing ballot boxes in those states because we know that lots of undocumented [2:42:48] aliens voted in those things. [2:42:49] So we are seizing ballot boxes. [2:42:51] That is the fear, right? [2:42:55] That, you know, he is, as you say, like, how many times have we said, oh, well, he can't [2:42:59] do that. [2:43:00] And then these swings gone. [2:43:01] Right. [2:43:02] Right? [2:43:04] You know what, Steph? [2:43:05] If I were an elected state official or a state attorney general, I would not permit ballot [2:43:14] boxes to be seized by anyone because the state authorities have a responsibility to protect [2:43:21] their free and fair elections. [2:43:23] free and fair elections. [2:43:24] Do I want National Guard troops battling against U.S. military troops to protect ballot boxes? [2:43:31] No, I don't. [2:43:32] But I'll be damned if, as a state official responsible for protecting the free and fair election and [2:43:39] the voting rights of my residents, I'm going to lay down and let people steal ballots and [2:43:46] ballot boxes. [2:43:47] Not going to happen. [2:43:48] I also thought it was a little eerie. [2:43:50] He specifically mentioned swing states, which a lot of us have questions about what [2:43:56] happened in 2024 in the swing states, particularly, because that's the other thing you have to [2:44:01] remember is they can micro target certain states. [2:44:03] It doesn't have to be everywhere. [2:44:05] Let's talk about, yes, with Todd Blanch in charge, I'll feel better about all this. [2:44:11] Let's talk about the Todd Blanch hearings. [2:44:14] You said, will some Senator please ask Todd Blanch why the DOJ approved the $1.8 billion [2:44:19] cop beaters fund? [2:44:20] And yet, oh, by the way, I got that in on CNN before they booted me off. [2:44:23] I said cop beater slush fund, which is also why I'm uninvited. [2:44:28] You said, and now Blanch is disavowing, running away from it, totally tactically acknowledging [2:44:34] it should not move forward. [2:44:35] Well, again, still won't put it in writing, right? [2:44:38] He won't put it in writing. [2:44:40] And, you know, he's a lawyer. [2:44:41] He claims to be. [2:44:43] And when you enter into a written settlement agreement, you don't just say, you know what? [2:44:50] Forget about it. [2:44:51] I'm not going to enforce it. [2:44:52] No, you actually have to disavow it in writing, which is what the agreement says in the first [2:44:58] place. [2:44:59] You can only modify this in writing. [2:45:01] So, you know, Todd Blanch is not an honest broker of the law. [2:45:06] He is not to be believed. [2:45:08] And, you know, let's see. [2:45:10] Will he get confirmed? [2:45:11] I fear that he probably will. [2:45:13] And he will continue to do Donald Trump's bidding. [2:45:16] But you said it best. [2:45:17] He's represented the interests of the president of the United States. [2:45:20] He has not represented the interests of the American people. [2:45:22] Indeed, he has victimized the American people, first among the Epstein victims and survivors. [2:45:27] I thought this, give me Senator Booker with Danny Bensky, one of the Epstein survivors, [2:45:33] was particularly telling. [2:47:20] Two minutes after the hour, our friend, Barb McQuaid, trying to help stop the next atrocity, [2:47:25] which would be the appointment of Todd Blanch as attorney general. [2:47:29] She said block Blanch because he negotiated self-dealing IRS gift for Trump, fired court-appointed [2:47:36] U.S. [2:47:37] attorneys, bragged about cleaning house of 200 DOJ employees who worked on cases involving [2:47:42] Trump and J6, botched the Epstein case, oversaw cases targeting Trump's personal perceived [2:47:47] enemies, and welcomes Trump's control. [2:47:50] I mean, he's just yet another disastrous nominee that, you know, unless, and why can't these [2:47:56] Republicans that are leaving, Carlos, find a spine? [2:47:58] Tom Tillis, John Cornyn, you know, people that, you know, have no love for Trump. [2:48:03] Yeah. [2:48:05] There's the Adam Kinzinger's and the Liz Cheney's are very few on that. [2:48:09] Mitch McConnell as well. [2:48:10] You know, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio. [2:48:12] I don't know why. [2:48:13] There's got to be personal threats. [2:48:14] That's all I can think is that this is like the Soviet Union. [2:48:17] It's like, hey, we have a room for you on the third floor. [2:48:19] The window sometimes locks, sometimes doesn't lock, but you sleep comfortably. [2:48:23] Yeah. [2:48:24] Did you see this pathetic post by Trump? [2:48:28] Basically, like with the, you know, number of dead and all these wars? [2:48:31] Yeah. [2:48:32] Like this is some kind of game to him. [2:48:35] Yeah. [2:48:36] Like it's a golf score. [2:48:37] Right. [2:48:38] Right. [2:48:39] Yeah. [2:48:40] Like it's a golf scorecard, you know, and then he's like Venezuela war one day, zero dead. [2:48:42] Like we shouldn't have invaded Venezuela in the first place. [2:48:45] But then he posts Iran four months, 18 dead. [2:48:48] And he's posting, you know, 18 dead. [2:48:51] Like that's nothing dead. [2:48:53] I'm sure those 18 families feel great about that. [2:48:55] He's posting Vietnam and, you know, other disasters in our history. [2:48:58] We shouldn't have been in either. [2:48:59] But I forget to about Ronald Reagan. [2:49:01] And it was Beirut. [2:49:02] The two hundred and eighty three. [2:49:03] Yes. [2:49:04] Marines that were blown up. [2:49:05] Yeah. [2:49:06] In Beirut. [2:49:07] And he got away with that. [2:49:08] Yeah. [2:49:09] I mean, Senator Reid said yesterday when Hegseth said he should deserve his praise for this [2:49:12] Iran thing, he said, excuse me, he should be praised for starting a war without authority, [2:49:16] for creating a situation in which the world economy is suffering tremendously. [2:49:20] And Americans are dying. [2:49:22] It's just at least Prince Andrew and Harry had military uniforms on at one point. [2:49:27] Send Barron over to Iran. [2:49:28] Right. [2:49:29] Right. [2:49:30] Even if it's symbolic. [2:49:31] You were talking about him snapping at this. [2:49:33] Who was the reporter? [2:49:34] Mary Bruce is the ABC. [2:49:35] Of course. [2:49:36] Right. [2:49:37] He hates women. [2:49:38] He hates strong. [2:49:39] Oh, my God. [2:49:40] He said, Mr. President, there's no signs Iran is ready to stop fighting. [2:49:41] What's the plan? [2:49:42] Is the plan to just keep fighting till they give up? [2:49:44] How would you know there's no signs? [2:49:45] How do you know there's something I don't know? [2:49:47] They're begging me. [2:49:48] Right. [2:49:49] Right. [2:49:50] And then, yeah. [2:49:51] And then he says, you don't know. [2:49:52] Do you know something? [2:49:53] I don't know. [2:49:54] Do you know something? [2:49:55] I don't know. [2:49:56] He's such a bully. [2:49:57] And then she asked him, no, I don't. [2:49:58] Why don't you tell us? [2:49:59] Right. [2:50:00] Right. [2:50:01] I mean, this thing again, which is obvious BS that, oh, they're begging for a deal. [2:50:05] Oh, really? [2:50:06] And then, can I just say, I have no idea anymore what's dementia and what's, Trump said Iran's [2:50:11] very evil leaders kill protesters like they're candy. [2:50:14] What? [2:50:16] Is he talking about ice? [2:50:18] I don't know. [2:50:19] He doesn't make any sense anymore. [2:50:22] He said, first of all, and then he just went off on Obama. [2:50:25] We got two things. [2:50:26] The Iran nuclear deal done by Barack Obama. [2:50:28] I terminated that. [2:50:29] If you didn't terminate it, you wouldn't have an Israel now. [2:50:32] You wouldn't have an Israel. [2:50:33] You wouldn't have all of these other countries in the Middle East. [2:50:37] They'd all be gone. [2:50:38] They would have been terminated. [2:50:39] Yes, you would. [2:50:40] You did. [2:50:42] And then he's talking about protesters. [2:50:43] They put a couple up today, young kids. [2:50:45] You know, they kill them. [2:50:46] They kill them like they're candy. [2:50:47] What? [2:50:48] What? [2:50:49] We don't care about that. [2:50:50] We've never cared about that. [2:50:52] And then he just went on to talk about, okay, the Obama deal because the black guy did it, [2:50:57] but it was obviously working and now Americans are dying because he hates Obama. [2:51:03] Here's another one that I just thought, wow. [2:51:06] Trump reportedly agrees to provide Saudi Arabia with a nuclear program. [2:51:09] Yeah. [2:51:10] So the people behind 9-11 because he and Jared are going to make money. [2:51:13] Right. [2:51:15] Can have a nuke. [2:51:16] But, okay. [2:51:17] Am I understanding he- [2:51:18] Is that a nuclear power program or a nuclear- [2:51:20] Well, aren't they behind the madrasa as well? [2:51:22] Right. [2:51:23] He approved an agreement to provide Saudi Arabia with a civilian nuclear-rich program. [2:51:27] Okay. [2:51:28] The- [2:51:29] It's designed to give American companies a central role in developing Saudi Arabia's nuclear [2:51:34] infrastructure. [2:51:35] Oh, God. [2:51:36] Mistake. [2:51:37] Yeah. [2:51:38] The agreement is estimated, of course, to be worth billions of dollars. [2:51:40] I love the last line. [2:51:41] It's unclear if Kushner played a role in broking the Saudi nuclear agreement. [2:51:44] Of course he did. [2:51:45] What do you think? [2:51:46] Right? [2:51:47] But it's just, you know, and then they're going, oh, yeah, well, we can control that. [2:51:49] They won't have a nuke. [2:51:50] Yeah. [2:51:51] The people that were behind 9-11. [2:51:52] Yeah. [2:51:53] And now he's, you know, saying Iran can't have a nuke. [2:51:56] But he's doing nothing to make sure they can't have a nuke. [2:51:58] We're getting- [2:51:59] Listen, Stephanie. [2:52:00] Iran is 2.7 seconds away from developing a nuclear weapon- [2:52:02] Oh, God. [2:52:03] He's breaking up the beating. [2:52:04] Oh, no. [2:52:05] No, don't- [2:52:06] Go, go, go. [2:52:07] Go, go, go. [2:52:08] Hey, Fred. [2:52:11] Your Netanyahu into Barney is one of my favorites. [2:52:13] It's priceless. [2:52:14] It's priceless. [2:52:15] It really is. [2:52:16] Barney from the Flintstones. [2:52:17] Because we know that Saudi Arabia is a very peaceful country. [2:52:19] They didn't do- [2:52:20] They were flying the buildings. [2:52:21] They tried to dodge the buildings. [2:52:22] And, you know, they were taking over because the pilot got sick. [2:52:27] I mentioned earlier in the show, I am all for Mayor Madami saying they will- [2:52:31] Or he will arrest Netanyahu. [2:52:32] Yes. [2:52:33] Back to New York. [2:52:34] And I like that it's making all the right bigots mad. [2:52:36] Hooray. [2:52:37] Okay. [2:52:38] House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked during a press conference- [2:52:41] Oh, God. [2:52:42] I'm going to be a dentist. [2:52:43] At one point, he would move to use congressional power to check Trump's war in Iran. [2:52:48] He pointedly ended his reply by saying, you know, we've got to wrap it up in Iran. [2:52:54] I mean, he knows how bad- [2:52:55] We've just got to wrap it up. [2:52:56] Yeah. [2:52:57] He knows how badly this is hurting, you know, Trump and them politically. [2:53:00] That's all they care about. [2:53:02] And again, when he was reelected, Trump had the opportunity to have really good policy. [2:53:08] Yeah. [2:53:09] Instead of, I'm going to get revenge. [2:53:11] I'm going to make more money. [2:53:13] And I'm going to lie and cheat more and more because that's what I was born to do. [2:53:17] I just- [2:53:18] The Pentagon is running short on cash because of the war in Iran. [2:53:22] I mean- [2:53:23] Yep. [2:53:24] How many trillions, right? [2:53:25] Well, they cut funding for everything real people need. [2:53:28] It's just- [2:53:29] Yeah. [2:53:30] All right. [2:53:31] We love you back. [2:53:32] We love you, Carlos Elsawaki. [2:53:33] We love you lots. [2:53:34] We love you lots. [2:53:35] On all the social media. [2:53:36] Love you lots. [2:53:37] All right. [2:53:38] Bye bye. [2:53:39] We'll see you tomorrow on The Stephanie Miller Show.
