Weiner Page #7

And honestly, I'm an easy target for

you to say, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know something

in your private life that's embarrassing."

Congratulations.

You can get on the list.

But I ultimately don't care

what you think about that.

I have never once criticized

you for your texting.

I think your photography

is just perfectly

a standard American photography

that's floating around the internet now.

I've never said anything

about that.

You just believe

that I shouldn't run once that happened.

Even if I think I'm the better candidate

with the better ideas, don't run.

I don't have a problem,

but don't run.

You know, Anthony, that you

are a gravely damaged candidate.

I said so..

Pretty crazy.

Who do you think looks better

though, me or him?

Do you want to see the online

version... where we continued?

Why are you laughing?

This is crazy.

It's terribly crazy, but what

else was I supposed to do?

I mean, tell me

what I was supposed to do.

This is where it continued.

- No, no, no, no.

- No?

Focus on your speech..

This just

makes me feel better.

This makes me get more fight

in me and less emotional.

- Oh, really?

- A little bit.

And it got better here because

he realized how badly it went, I think.

How bad was it?

It's bad.

For me?

What was I supposed to do?

Sorry, I can't.

What's wrong with you?

No, what's wrong with you?

That every night you

have to be on television.

You need a lot of attention.

What are you craving?

What do you got to prove?

You know,

that's a good question?

Whatever the opposite

of that is, it's what Huma is.

She must like that about you right?

No, I think she might...

...like me in spite of that.

Huma Abedin, what is the

simple explanation

for why she decided to get out

there in front of this?

I fall back

to the... the Blaise Pascal

the philosopher who said

"The heart has its reasons

of which reason knows nothing."

In other words, I don't think this is

simply a strategic, uh, decision for her.

I think Huma loves this guy.

She thinks he'd be a good mayor.

What you saw at that press conference

was the real Huma.

Blaise Pascal, you say.

I counter that with Shakespeare

"Has she eaten

on the insane route

that devours intellect

and takes reason prisoner?"

Do you think she's feeling regret?

What about?

- The whole thing?

- Yeah.

It's... it's..

It's not fair.

She shouldn't, but she does.

You mean fair to you?

No, it's unfair to her.

I mean she's not...

I created this problem.

Whatever acquiescence she gave

is secondary to the things that I did.

These things that I created for us.

Do you think it's been

worse than she thought?

Yeah.

How are you feeling today?

It's like living a nightmare.

Carlos Danger is now

trailing by nine points.

Twenty-five to sixteen percent.

Fifty three percent

of likely New York City voters

think Anthony Weiner

should pull out.

The most unpopular political

figure on record.

An unfavorability

rating of eighty percent.

I think that we can't afford

to leave the playing field

for too many days is my concern.

Got it. Alright.

So she's trying

to sell her story.

- Oh, really?

- That's what he heard.

Rodney does this...

Rodney does this joke.

I was in a very rough

neighborhood.

The other day I asked a cop,

"Where's the nearest subway?"

He says, "I don't know.

No one's ever made it."

The other day on the way home,

some guy's running naked down the street.

I says, "Hey, what happened?"

He says, "You came home early."

My doc said,

"'Cause you're crazy."

I said,

"I want a second opinion."

He says,

"Okay, you're ugly too."

The Rodney jokes

are easy to remember.

Like they're just, you know..

'Cause they're stupid.

Oh, Rodney, no. He's a classic, Rodney.

What are you talking about?

"Oh, boy, so nowadays for, I am,

I need two women

so when I fall asleep they have

someone to talk to. Oh, boy."

"My sex life

ain't what it used to be."

Oh, boy.

Anthony Weiner's sexting

partner Sydney Leathers

has got a sex tape now.

TMZ's reporting Leathers

has already jumped

into bed

with Vivid Entertainment

less than two weeks

after the scandal broke.

Vivid, of course, brought you

the sex tapes from Kim Kardashian

and most recently,

"Teen mom Farrah Abraham."

He ended up running

for mayor of New York City

which he's still currently

in the race for.

He was actually number one

in the polls

before the scandal broke

and then I ruined that for him.

So, sorry.

Except I'm not.

I had him on this pedestal

and I thought he was this great guy

and I felt like

we had similar views

but you know it really is true

that you shouldn't meet your heroes

because you find out how human

they really are

and how flawed they really are

and it really ruins your

perception of the person, so..

Don't meet your heroes.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

I made mistakes that embarrassed

myself, hurt my family

and for that I am profoundly,

profoundly sorry.

And for that

I am profoundly sorry.

For that I am profoundly sorry.

But at the end of the day,

this campaign is not about me

or really anyone else

on this stage.

Welcome. This service

provided by free conference..

Hi. Good morning.

It's Anthony and got Camille

here. Love your spots.

You were great.

This thing isn't

turning on its own.

We think we have to do

something different and so..

Anthony, we've done 350 interviews.

We now have Quinn ahead.

Thompson second.

We have 27, 21, 16, 10.

You're at 10.

Half of your previous base went elsewhere.

Everybody else is basically

saying enough already.

They've closed that door.

You polled in

the middle of a time

when we weren't doing anything at all

to define our own narrative.

No, I understand that.

I don't think you've ever done a snapshot

for a candidate

who is going through

a worse week than I am.

That's a fair statement.

So maybe we use it to tee up

you know, I don't know some kind

of a Bulworth kind of karma that

we just like "look," you know?

Let me just be brutally honest here.

There's no chance to win anymore.

Winning is now defined as if

Anthony wants to continue here...

keeping his head high and

saying something that matters.

And getting some, at least grudging,

respect back.

For your sake, you want to

keep going with this...

that may be the best and

liberating way to proceed.

I don't think there's a path

anymore to get to a runoff.

You know, let's, let's remember

something we... we've just

been pummeled in this week.

Just pummeled..

Just, just everywhere.

I mean, we basically not really mounted

much of a defense at all.

So why don't we do this,

why don't we

slap a version of that "I ain't

quitting" thing on the website.

Why don't I call around to...

I'll call around to the-the TVs

give them all a one-on-one

tomorrow.

If you sort of go frontal

with that again...

people are going to have

an instant negative reaction.

I don't want to hear that anymore.
