9:44 am
( cheers and applause ) >> larry: welcome back! man. very exciting week this week. the supreme court got together to hear arguments about legalizing gay marriage. ( cheers and applause ). >> larry: yes! yes yes, yes! i mean, it's about time. seriously, this is an issue we have been debating for a long time. okay, so exactly how are the justices going to frame this debate? >> if states are allowed to make their own decision and some states have banned it, some states have approved it-- do all states then have to recognize it? >> larry: and if a state doesn't recognize it do we have to recognize that state? ( laughterstate?laugh ( applause ). ( cheers ) >> larry:be texas.please be texas. the case the scream is discussing is called "obergefell
9:45 am
v. hodges," fun fact obergefell is a german word which means "can i live my damn life." it's true. it's one of those compound words. so i wonder what obscure legal statutes they were grappling with for their rhetorical legal arguments. >> a lot of the justices were worried about whether it was proper for the supreme court to decide this. >> larry: proper? i don't know if "proper" is the right word. you're figuring out if gay people deserve equal treatment under the law, not if it's okay to take the last mini-muffin report from break room. ( laughter ) is that proper? is it proper? is it proper? ( laughter ) all right, so how are the most brilliant legal minds of our time arguing their point? there must be a lot of legal mumbo jumbo. >> justice kennedy did say if sue loves joe and tom loves joe, sue can mary jo but tom can't. how is that not straightforward sexual discrimination?
9:46 am
>> larry: it is straightforward sexual discrimination. ( cheers and applause ) this seems like a no-prairn to me. seriously, does anybody have any real sound arguments based in fact and logic against same-sex marriage? i mean, what's the worst that could happen with gay people getting married, too much happiness in the world? >> 100 conservative lawyers and academics recently filed a supreme court brief arguing federal recognition of same-sex marriage will directly cause 900,000 abortions over the next 30 years. ( laughter ). >> larry: whaaat? whaaat? ( cheers and applause ) here's the problem, when people who don't believe in science try to do math. ( laughter ) ( applause ) since when do same-sex marriage
9:47 am
rates have anything to do with straight marriage rates because if i can blame my divorce on gay marriage, i will gladly. ( laughter ) i'll do it. and 900,000 abortions! how do you even come up with a number like that? you know what? i'm going to take out my conservative calculator. ( laughter ) no, no, no. always helps me, you know, when i want to make no logical sense. all right. okay. no no it's good. first, we multiply "m" and "m," and we add that to "w" times "w" for same-sex marriage rates. okay, we divide that by "m" times "w." that's straight marriage rates. okay. now we take the derivative, "t" plus "m," turtle man marriage rate and raise that to the power of a-ciewbd-- abortion, abortion abortion. so far we've got-- oh, legitimate rape. okay. ( laughter )
9:48 am
( applause ) right here. that checks out. wait, let me continue. now we integrate sigma. or frat boy-level-intelligence. with the infinite limit of "t," or time republicans will hold a grudge against the supreme court for "roe v. wade." all right and we got it. right. there it is, okay! ( cheers and applause ) all right. it makes sense. gay marriage will cause 900,000 abortions you guys over the next 30 years. it totally checks out. way to go conservative academics. i love this ( bleep ) calculator man. it's awesome. it makes all conservative math make sense. let me try another one. climate change. ( laughter ) that which could out. wait, i want to try another one. income inequality.
9:49 am
it keeps making sense! ( laughter ) ( applause ) oh my god! this is amazing! ( cheers and applause ) i'm telling you, as long as you live in your own world with your own math, all of this adds up, you guys. ( laughter ) so let's just hope that at least five out of the nine supreme court justices aren't using this calculator. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) doug, we have the results, but first, we have a very special guest. come on out, flo! [house band playing] you have anything to say to flo? nah, i'll just let the results do the talking. [crowd booing] well, he can do that. we show our progressive direct rate and the rates of our competitors even if progressive isn't the lowest. it looks like progressive is not the lowest! ohhhh! when we return we'll find out whether doug is the father. wait, what?

9:54 am
mystery man, which means we must be talking about hillary clinton. okay, here's my thing with the clintons. i think for some reason the clintons cannot get out of their own way. it's unbelievable to me. i mean, you have the clinton cash thing. you have the e-mail thing. okay, so here's my question. at the end of the day is bill gonna hurt or help hillary? what do we think interest? what's going to happen? >> both. >> larry: you think he's going to throw her number the scooby bus? >> i think he's a benefit and a drawback, and i think that they are counting on him being more of a benefit than a draug back, but there are certainly significant challenges both challenges and opportunities for her with him. >> larry: i think at the tend of the day for all the stuff bill clinton did, people love him. >> you know, the one thing the one thing really, though about him -- >> bill bbill. >> about bill. he's the greatest used car salesman in the history of america.
9:55 am
>> larry: yes, unbelievable. ( laughter ). >> and he may not make you want to buy the car but he's certainly going to make you think about buying it. >> larry: it's true. >> or at least maybe getting in the backseat of the car. ( laughter ) >> larry: i would agree with that. all right brad, it's your turn. "bag o' grab," take it out. what have you got. >> i don't know what this is. it's a -- >> it's a rainbow piece of caix. >> it's a rainbow cake. >> larry: we have the scotus gay marriage ruling right. so what is this? we have something we wanted to play here, right? >> you look at what's going on in baltimore today and, you know, you see the issues that are raised there, and healthy marriages are the ones between a man and a woman because they can have a healthy family and they can raise children. >> audience: booooo! >> larry: here's-- i just want to throw this out. it is astonishing to me-- i did the thing earlier-- gay marriage
9:56 am
is blamed for 900,000 abortions. here are things gay marriage has already been blamed for. brad, gay marriage causes 900,000 abortions. are you not listening? what's wrong with you! here are some of the other things-- ( laughter ) these are things that people actually blame the gay marriage on. these are-- hurricane sandy. blamed on gay marriage. northridge earthquake. >> absolutely. >> larry: that was a big earthquake, too. >> big one. >> larry: mass animal deaths. ( laughter ) and september 11 was also blamed on gay marriage. okay, what else is gay marriage responsible for, brad? >> my career. i think. my career is-- i couldn't get in thing about. in thinginthe building. >> larry: that's a horrible thing gay marriage is responsible for. >> yeah, terrible, terrible. the breakup of minuto. >> that's terrible, that's
9:57 am
terrible. >> so there are people that are saying this out there. >> larry: brad, you're not listening. >> i'm not. i'm not. >> because it sounds so absurd. >> larry: lewis, what else is gay marriage responsible for? >> gay marriage will be responsible for a glut of moistureizers on the market. ( laughter ) and-- >> gotta stock up. >> larry: that one i actually do believe. >> it's not entirely about that. >> larry: i blame gay marriage for the lakers playing horribly. ( laughter ) i will just say this-- before gay marriage started happening in big numbers lakers were winning championships. that's all i'm saying. dana, what's your response? >> for all the things you mentioned, people are absurdly claiming that gay marriage caused people have also said global warming is causing, it's almost interchangeable. there are people who say that. the unrest in the middle east, and then you have the drought--
9:58 am
yes, believe me. isn't that absurd, as some of the gay marriage comments that that congressman just made. >> the astonishing about those comments to me, if you have-- if you're really confident in your choice and your belief that it's between a man and a woman why would gay marriage panic you if you truly believe-- why would it even affect you? you would laugh. ( cheers and applause ) >> larry: i'll tell you, if gay marriage would stop causing mass animal deaths maybe we could have it. until then lewis, we can't have this discussion. lewis pick something out of the "bag o' grab." >> smgz about magicians. >> larry: okay, all right, that's a good one. that is the gang in d.c. we've got the red and the blue, and now it seems pretty easy for the bloods and the crips to come
9:59 am
together. yet, the democrats and republicans can't. okay. ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers ) all right? it's so ridiculous. okay. what do we think is the biggest thing keeping them apart? black president. >> of course,. >> larry: anyone? >> what find astonishing is these people, you know the crips and the blood that they want to kill each other. we're talking death. >> larry: right. >> and they can come together. all that's occurring with the democrats and republicans and the tea party is they're talking ideology, and they're more psychotic about their ideologies than these people are about death. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) >> larry: we'll be right back and talk more of this. this.
