NBC interview about your wife's absence.

Does it say anything to us?

What absence?

Her absence and not being

here today or recently.

Oh, no, this was... this

happened because

of the same thing every...

when we had it

at 9:
30 it was around her

schedule.

When it became 10:30 it became

problematic for her schedule.

She's gonna be voting. I'm pretty

sure she's gonna vote for me too.

Alright, guys, we gotta go.

Um, we're gonna go that way. Is

that okay? Sorry, buddy.

Can we just do the one question?

We'll all get out of your way.

1 question? I've just done...

I've done 40 questions

and now you're dealing

with a 20 month old.

Get your wife's absence, you seem

pretty agitated. You seemed upset by it.

No, no, it's just... it's just 7 or 8

or 9 questions on the same subject.

After a certain point,

I think, well

a question being asked again

and again, you know, so.

Her absence,

does it say anything?

Alright, thumbs up. Thumbs...

Thumbs up.

The craziest part of the

whole Anthony Weiner thing is

the guy never met you

face to face.

No. He never met me.

Had more contact with him

already. Are you angry with him?

I think I am a little bit

angry angry with him.

What pissed me off was

him on the campaign trail saying

"Oh, I've changed."

And trying to act like he has

this perfect marriage now

and everything's just peachy.

- The hypocrisy got to you?

- Yeah.

I was like, bullshit. I am proof

that you have not changed.

You know what I... I

fantasize about actually.

If you did go to confront him.

I... I think we should.

Let's do it.

I'd be like Carlos Danger.

- Meet Mrs. Danger.

- Meet Mrs. Danger.

Yeah, that would be perfect.

- I'm ready to do it.

- I'm ready to do it.

Sorry to bother you right now,

but this requires your immediate attention.

Pineapple is at the office.

Sydney Leathers is

in front of the office.

- Alone?

- No. With media and signs.

With how many media?

I don't know how many media.

I'm giving you the tick-tock

of my plan right now.

We'll drive on 48th...

- What media is there?

I... I... Camille just called me.

I don't have any update.

I literally just ran here to give you

the tick-tock of my plan.

My... my plan...

This is the tick-tock for my plan...

I'm not going,

I shouldn't go.

You don't want...?

Well, the phone bank...

Just avoid the scene.

The phone bank is at the office.

Yeah, well, what's... well...

avoid the scene.

Why... why try to play it cute?

Okay, but if you do want to go

to the office,

I do have a whole

entire plan ready for you.

- Andrew.

- Hold on... hold on, hold on.

Bo... Bo... Boss wants to talk to me.

Just hold on the line.

Okay, you know what I would do?

I would get phone bankers

with signs.

If there's any press attention

to her at all

surround her and chant

the sh*t out of her.

Okay.

But that's only if there is...

only if there is attention.

If she's not getting any

attention, then just let it go.

But if she starts to then circle

her and just chant the sh*t.

No physical contact and I'd

chant the sh*t out of her.

- Jordan.

- Alright, thank you.

Alright, Bye-bye.

Can you tell me

what's going on?

Pineapple's in front

of the office.

Who's... can you...

- Syd... Sydney Leathers

is in front...

Oh, sh*t. I shouldn't have

said that on the camera.

- Why not?

- I'm sorry.

'Cause that's our code word.

- Oh.

- But...

Sydney Leathers is outside of

597 Fifth Avenue right now.

Uh, we are staying calm and

managing the situation right now.

I have two contingency plans

in place if A... Anthony

absolutely needs to get to the

office.

But I also need to develop

a... a backup plan.

It's my job to make sure she

f***ing fails at life today.

I gotta wonder...

if I had more time,

could I rebound again.

Even when things we thought

were going pretty well

we still were dealing with

puns and the nastiness

and like the outrage

of the editorial pages.

Why do you think that is?

I lied to them.

I've got a funny name.

And, uh...

They don't...

They don't do nuance.

Headline writers and editorial pages -

they're the opposite of nuance.

They all like to say that the lying

was sort of the big thing.

You think that's true?

I've had this conversation with

myself recently where I'm...

I need to visualize...

...how different it would've been.

Not very.

They've... They've got the comfort

of being able to...

Righteously vilify you.

The results have not yet

been certified

but Bill de Blasio appears

to have 40% of the vote.

Second place finisher

Bill Thompson has 26%.

Anthony Weiner

with 4.93% of the vote

in the Democratic primary

for Mayor. So it's over.

This is Anthony Weiner.

How are you, my friend?

Congratulations.

You ran a great campaign.

Somebody just emailed me to tell me that

this woman's actually inside the party?

She's downstairs.

Yeah.

We have a security detail

on her.

Sydney, what are you going to

say if Anthony Weiner walks

through this door about

10 feet away from you?

Well, I guess you'll see

with your eyes.

- F***.

- Yeah, she's downstairs.

We can sneak you in through

McDonalds and into

the staircase upstairs.

She'll never know.

- Okay.

- We discreetly pull up.

I'm... I'm budgeting 12 seconds

from car to door.

Okay.

Okay. Everyone... can

everyone leave except for Huma?

And Huma, come in.

This woman is in the bar.

I'm not going to face the indignity

of being accosted by this woman.

She's not in the venue.

You think that's how

anyone's going to cover it?

What do you want to do?

Can we get a picture with

you? Is that alright?

Can somebody take a...

Are you okay?

Sure?

Josh, come on.

You do have to move quickly

when we get out of the car.

We can't linger around.

Where's Pineapple now?

We're executing

the McDonald's plan.

Like, he cannot be that

afraid of me. Like seriously.

What is he so afraid of?

Turn the lights off, Anthony.

We'll be there in 45 seconds.

Huma. Huma.

Don't come. Go home.

Here we go.

No, you can't call me

back in 5 minutes.

Now. Now, now,

now, now, now, now, now.

Are you serious?

Hey, guys,

welcome to New York.

Where am I going?

Are you serious?

Ow, ow, ow, ow, my god.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Have we lost her?

Seriously? All to avoid

a 23 year old, really?

We might have come up a little short

in this campaign.

But we are all unified

in that fight.

If you keep fighting, I'm gonna

keep fighting.

Because we're gonna

keep New York the capital

of the middle class

for years to come.

Thank you very much

and God bless you.

What's the plan for tomorrow?

What's the plan for tomorrow, Anthony?

Don't push me!

Oh my God!

As he rushed into a car

Weiner's security team

scuffled with reporters.

The candidate's response?

A raised middle finger

through the car window.

I can't believe I gave

the press the finger.

I still have this virtually

unlimited ability

to f*** up things day by day.
