Weiner Page #3

no longer be a social pariah.

And she brings a tremendous

amount of influence.

We've actually talked to folks

campaign staff

who don't really much

necessarily wanna work

for Anthony Weiner

but they're very intrigued

about the proximity

to Huma Abedin

given that she's likely

to be an influential figure

in an upcoming

Presidential campaign.

Oh, for of course

Hillary Rodham Clinton

if she runs.

Have a great Fourth,

give my love to Jen

and I'll talk to you soon.

And thanks for the advice.

Alright, take care. Bye-bye.

Okay.

He does not feel comfortable

writing you a check

because he's on John Lius'

finance committee.

This is your A-list?

I'm not gonna do these

if you're gonna make

this so unpleasant, okay?

I hate asking people for things.

I'm asking people, okay?

Okay.

Why don't you do this.

"Tony, I got my husband here...

It's Arnie."

Arnie, I got my husband here

who... who's raising money

for... for mayor.

"Can I put him on with you?"

- No.

- And then you're off.

No, I think you get him

and then say Huma

she wants to talk to you.

Done. Done and done.

Here, give me that.

I'll... I'll close the deal.

It's Huma.

How could you tell my voice?

I didn't talk to you in a year.

How was the engagement?

I want all the details.

Aw. What a perfect engagement.

Well, that's... Well,

congratulations.

Well, he's working very hard.

Okay, I'll talk to you soon.

Have a nice,

have a nice weekend. Bye-bye.

Alright, he'll max.

His wife is gonna max out.

And he'll try

to raise another five.

He's like, "You know,

I've never given

or raised once in my life."

- And...

- No kidding?

Hey, Joe, it's Anthony Weiner

calling.

- It's Huma.

- Anthony Weiner calling.

- Hello, Joe?

- How are you, my brother?

That's true.

We have a long history together.

How's things at the shop?

How's the family?

Oh, really?

Hey, Mike,

I was wondering if...

- If you call your friends

and they're

you know, they're willing

to write checks...

- I haven't asked you

for two years.

I've given you

a nice long break.

You're the leader

in the community

so they're gonna listen to you.

Four thousand nine hundred

and fifty per person

and 9,900 per couple.

That's nice of you to say.

Now, are you is the 20 gonna be

in on Monday

when you... you're gonna

bring it with you?

It makes me feel very awkward

about this one too, but...

- Are you married?

- You're a good friend.

- Good to hear your voice.

- Two hundred and fifty.

Five thousand in five minutes.

That's not bad. You did well.

Bye, bye, bye.

See ya.

Thanks for everything.

Thanks, guys. Happy Fourth.

Hey, Marie. Thanks

for everything, guys.

Is he gonna get

on the ballot?

He's going to get

on the ballot.

- Yes?

- Yes.

Do we need to worry

about this? Are we okay?

Hold this, babe.

Oh, this is pretty exciting.

It is.

I'm a signer.

Huma is that the first petition

you've ever signed?

- I, yeah, it is.

- Yes.

Ever. It's pretty cool, huh?

I need a book. Like a prep book.

Just something,

I need... I need some

I need, like, I have nothing.

Just like a novel

or something that you could...

- No, but just something.

Don't you remember in my event

last week, the woman was like

"What's his position?" I'm like,

"I don't know what the hell

his position is on X.

Ask him."

There's a campaign going on

all around you.

I mean, you heard me

on Brian Lehrer this morning.

No I didn't. I didn't know

you were on, actually.

Okay, look.

- I will see you on Monday.

- Thank you.

I'm not crazy

about those pants.

Yeah, we all have

our... things to bear.

Do you like 'em?

They're lightweight.

I need lightweight trousers.

Yes you do.

Have you guys gotten any, like,

flack for working for Weiner

from people who don't like him?

What's the worst thing

that anyone ever said

to you on the phone?

"F*** you", really.

That's pretty much it.

How can you work for him?

Like, you're a woman.

You should be... you should be,

you know.

And I'd be like,

"Well, you know what?"

"He's fought for my community

"for a very long time and

"you know, if Huma

can forgive Anthony

then why can't a voter

forgive Anthony?"

My mom at first was actually

really opposed to it.

She said, "Oh, no, you can't

work for him."

"You can't work for him.

That's awful.

It's awful what he did."

I tried making the reference

to like Bill Clinton.

And then she said,

"No, Bill's different."

I believe in Anthony and..

...some people don't,

but a lot of people do.

I really love his stances

on education

his single parent

healthcare system and

and I was really, really upset

when he resigned.

When he talks, when he,

you know, when he's out there

when he's talking about his plan

and his ideas

he's just so much better.

Do you think the Bill Fairy

pays for that?

We all pay for that

in higher taxes.

Providing Medicare

for all Americans

for all New Yorkers

for all people in this country,

saves us money

and it's the humane,

decent thing to do.

George McDonald.

I want to say one thing

about American values.

I would contrast my values

with Anthony Weiner's values

any day of the week!

Seven days a week!

Oh, what? You can boo.

Listen, ladies and gentlemen,

ladies and gentlemen

ladies and gentlemen, the...

Look, look, listen, listen...

Okay, you don't wanna

allow me to talk

that's just more time

for this glib narcissist.

Let's hear it for Gay Pride!

God bless America!

People are less likely to go

to a cop with a tip

if they think they're gonna be

frisked when they do it.

I want him to win so bad.

He's the best.

This does not need

a new government agency.

This needs a change of policy

at the top.

Alright, let's go!

Weiner! Weiner! Weiner!

Weiner! Weiner!

Tony Weiner lied.

He lied about his texting

scandal on CNN.

Whatever you think...

You can rest assured

that at night...

I certainly will not be

taking pictures of myself.

Thank you very much.

I said keep your hands

to yourself.

I heard what you said.

Don't put your hands

on me ever again.

Really? And what's gonna happen

if I do?

- You're a tough guy now?

- Yeah.

- Oh, are you now?

- I am. I can defend myself.

You can? You can? Okay, good.

Maybe get your anger issues

under control.

I don't have any anger issues.

I think you do, grandpa.

Let's do this again.

Let's do this again.

Before you go

can you assure us

that you're gonna stay

in the race?

That even if the going

gets really, really tough

which it will be nationally,

possibly internationally.

I don't want to support someone

who's going to later drop out.

I'm not gonna stop doing it

because I wanna make sure

that my son grows up

in this great city

and be able to stand

on a street corner

and yell at his future mayor.

Thank you very much.

If you mean that.

That's a good man,

a good politician.

- Thank you.

- I support Anthony Weiner.

- Yes, we do.

- Yes, we do.

Give 'em hell!

Keep talking issues.
