Weiner Page #2

We don't want perverts

elected in New York City.

No perverts.

Please step back, please.

Weiner's staffers had to do

crowd control with the press.

A problem the other candidates

dream of having

at their news conferences.

He's not a likeable guy,

and I think the question is

do New Yorkers

want a punch line as mayor?

If we elect this loser

to any office

from mayor to dog catcher

then we get the government

we deserve.

Man, they all full of sh*t.

Weiner, you got

my vote, brother!

Um, just so you know,

I turned down Andrea Peyser.

Siphen asked if she could

sit in and I said no.

Well, I... I... Well, why?

Because I don't think

that she's a real reporter.

Let her get it

out of her system.

Okay.

Hi, Andrea.

- Hey, how are ya?

- Good, thank you.

So, first question

I'm gonna ask you is

what was your favorite

"Post" headline?

I... I don't read

the "New York Post."

You don't?

Alright, um, so how many women

were involved in the sexting,

the, uh, texting?

You know, I did some very

regrettable things

over an extended period of time

with more than one person.

You did some very what?

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Very, very regrettable things

that I have apologized for

and I'm gonna be spending

a lot of time, I think

on the campaign trail

apologizing for.

Okay, so why... why

are you hiding today?

I... I'm having conversations

on the telephone.

What do you mean hiding, Andrea?

Hi, Michael,

it's Barbara Morgan.

Hi, Andrew, it's Barbara Morgan.

Hi, Azzi, it's Barbara Morgan.

I'm gonna put you

on speaker now, okay?

Hi, Michael. Hi, Jill.

Hi, Jennifer, how are you?

How do we know that this

behavior is over?

You put Huma and Jordan

in the video.

Why was that decision made?

Your brother said

that your father

never hugged you.

Huma and I looked at one

and another and said

"You know, we don't

wanna be living

in a defensive crouch anymore."

Families get through things.

I don't begrudge citizens

wanting to ask me

about the mistakes

that I've made

but what I'm gonna try

to talk about

is the issues facing

New York City

the middle class and people

struggling to make it.

Every dollar available

for salaries

is being eaten up

by healthcare costs.

There are good bike lanes

and there are bad bike lanes.

The controversy

over Stop-and-Frisk

has been over

how it's been used.

- I don't think anyone...

- Wait, wait, wait.

Uh... are more women

going to come forward?

Do we have more

to look forward to?

There was some talk of going

away to a rehab program...

What does what happened there say about

your fitness to run New York City?

"The saga of, of the

transgressions of Anthony Weiner

"former youngest ever member

of the City Council

"former seven-term Congressman

from Brooklyn and Queens

"preening self promoter

"who never met a camera,

television or smart phone

"he didn't glam on to.

"And at this writing,

current candidate

"for the Democratic nomination

for mayor of New York City

"is remarkable for many reasons.

"Chief among them is what

the protagonist of the tale

"did not, as far as we know, do.

"He did not commit adultery.

"He did not break up a marriage

"his own or anyone else's.

"He didn't employ the services

of a prostitute.

"He did not stalk.

He did not misuse public funds.

"He did not grope or talk dirty

to subordinates or anyone else.

"He did not have any

inappropriate contact

"or any physical contact

with any person.

"He and his partners in sin

have never been

in the same room

at the same time."

Vacant space.

All of our offices

are vacant space.

- Hi.

- This is actually kinda nice.

Yeah.

We are in the market

for, um, office space.

Many years since I was here

Good afternoon,

Weiner for mayor.

On the street

I was passin' my time away

To the left

and to the right

Buildings towering

to the sky

It's outta sight

In the dead of night

Here I am

again in this city

With a fistful of dollars

And baby

you'd better believe

I'm back

Back in the New York groove

I'm back

Back in the New York

groove..

Rahad, can you take this?

Yeah. I'll be down

in one second.

Where... where

are you guys going?

- To rally for Anthony.

- Whoo.

- Weiner!

- Louder!

- Weiner!

- Louder!

In the back of my Cadillac..

Anyone have a voter?

Be poised and ready

to talk to voters.

Gotcha.

This is Anthony Weiner

calling.

Yes, I'm that Anthony Weiner,

the one running for mayor.

Well, thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

And if I win by one,

I know who to thank.

Alright, bye-bye.

She knows two Anthony Weiners.

So baby

you'd better believe

I'm back

Back in the New York groove

My name is Fran Weiner.

I'm Anthony Weiner's mom.

How are you today?

Back in the New York Groove

I'm back

Back in the New York Groove

Look, you've had

a billionaire mayor.

Now you're gonna have

a thousandaire

who has millionaire friends,

so we're gonna be fine.

We're gonna be fine.

Alright, let me get

Huma up here.

I wanna get her started.

No, I really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed it.

Those of you who know me

are probably surprised

to see me standing up here.

I'm usually back in the room

far away from the microphone

as possible.

I'm doing it because

I love my city

and I believe in my husband.

Launching this campaign

was not an easy decision

for my family to make.

People say a lot of things

about my husband.

Some nice, some not so nice.

Putting yourself

out there is hard.

Our challenges,

what we went through

it's nothing compared

to what so many families

in this city face every day.

No one fights harder

on behalf of people.

And no one will make New York

safer, stronger, more secure...

...than my husband, Anthony.

Oh!

Oh my god, that..

...that was remarkable.

I feel what people

must have felt like..

...seeing Charlie Chaplain in

the talkies for the first time.

Like, "That's what

she sounds like."

This is kind of our first

campaign together.

The city is getting to know her

a bit and one thing is clear

if she were the candidate,

I'd be getting crushed.

Yeah.

I mean, man,

if there was ever anyone

like, if you in fact actually

just closed your eyes

and just imagined what would be

the ideal first lady

for the City of New York?

Someone who's graceful,

someone's who's interesting

someone who's got ideas,

someone who's got experience.

You know,

someone who's glamorous

someone who's an amazing mom

you know, someone

who's just amazing.

She's the right hand woman

of Hillary Clinton

known by just one name

in Washington, Huma.

She was by Clinton's side

during her years in the Senate

on the Presidential

campaign trail

and at the State Department.

At a pre-wedding celebration

for Abedin and Weiner

Clinton said

"I have one daughter

but if I had a second daughter,

it would be Huma."

She really stayed quiet

during the scandal.

Why does she wanna be out

in the spotlight now?

She wants to see her husband
