Weiner Page #8

So this is a solo flight.

Okay, thank you very much,

guys. I appreciate it.

- Thank you.

- Take care.

Seriously,

like f*** those guys.

But you dropped

10 points in a week.

What's to say you can't go

back up ten points in a week?

I have one more thing on

the public schedule, or two?

I think it's two - I think it's

the City Island hit.

I'm getting crushed there.

Just crushed.

Do you still want

to go to City Island?

Yes, ah-ah, am I getting any

reports from City...

Yes, um, Andrew, I-I've got no choice.

It's on the public schedule.

I have to go.

So right now we have another

speaker, Mr. Weiner.

Oh, thank you very much

for reminding me...

Go home!

You know, I've had a little bit

of a rough week

I had committed to coming here

and I didn't want to miss it.

Communities like City Island

kinda reflect

everything that is good

about this city and also

what has kind of

gone wrong recently.

You the residents of this community

had a 160% increase in property taxes.

That's what the math is.

So sooner or later,

something has to give.

I'm prepared to fight for

the people of this city

and I'd love to hear your

questions, thank you very much.

I'm gonna address the 900 pound gorilla

in the room...

You lied to the people of New York

and you asked for forgiveness.

The people of City Island,

the people of New York,

Americans are very forgiving.

And then you go ahead and you do

it again, so the question is...

is there someone better qualified than you

to do this job

and when do you say enough is

enough if you do at all?

It's a betrayal of trust.

My... my personal issues

are very public.

If you believe it's on the same

level as committing a crime

if that's what you believe

that's your right.

A betrayal... of trust.

But I... no, let me just finish

the answer.

Let me... let me

finish the answer.

Yes, sir, you're exactly right.

I violated trust to my wife.

I did that.

That was wrong.

That was my... I was wrong.

I was wrong. And people have

every right

in the world to say that

it disqualifies me.

But I'm not gonna quit.

Do you think it was easy?

Do you think I just... "Okay,

let's go to-to City Island."

"Let's talk

to these good people."

"Let's bring 50 cameras,"

knowing that I'd get this question?

The reason I did that is because

I'm trying to communicate something here.

I'm trying to say, "Yes, you

know some things about me"

more than any candidate than

you'll ever know

maybe in your life, maybe way

more than you'd want.

Certainly way more than I want.

But all I can do is this.

These are my ideas.

I care about them.

I knew when I got in

this race that

this kitchen was gonna

get pretty hot.

And at a certain point, you've

got to say, "Look, I don't quit.

New Yorkers don't quit."

I'm not gonna go into the corner

and curl up because someone

found out something

embarrassing about me.

You did something we don't like.

Camera's in your face.

Change your mind.

Back down. Quit.

That's not the kind of mayor

I'm gonna be.

Sir, I say to you

with all due respect

do not vote for me, but don't

deny these people

the right to vote for me

that might want to.

Thank you very much.

I'm done, guys, I am done.

I'm off my f***ing heels.

That posture of like sitting back and

letting people punch me, I'm done with it.

At the end of the day, turn some

issues and ideas.

Alright. How you doing, my

friend? Nice to see you.

All the secrets?

That guy's running for mayor.

You say, "Hey Mr. Dude,

tell him to vote for me."

Hello! How's business today,

ladies?

You should get a little

discount for that.

How you doing my friend?

I'm Anthony Weiner.

I'm running for mayor.

Be well. Have a sweet year.

You're a real scumbag, Anthony.

Wow, very nice, in front of

kids. Charming.

Yeah, it takes one to know one,

jackass.

Don't lose your temper.

What's that? What's that?

What's that?

You wait till I walk out till

say anything. That's courage.

We'll have a discussion.

Come back in here.

I'm not afraid of you.

You did disgusting things.

You have the nerve to walk

around in public.

And... and you're... and

you're a perfect person?

You're my judge? You're my

judge? What rabbi told you that?

I didn't do what you did.

What rabbi taught you

that you're my judge?

You're fine, you talk to God

and you work out your problems

but stay out of the public eye.

That's the difference.

I'm-I'm not gonna stay with-

That's not for you to judge, my friend.

I don't take my judgment for you

and I don't judge you.

You're a bad example

for the people.

That's your judgment?

- No, that's obvious.

- Okay.

That's why we have elections.

That's why we have elections.

And you're perfect.

You're gonna judge me.

I'm not running for office.

You know who judges me?

You know who judges me?

You know who judges me?

Go visit with your rabbi.

Go visit with your rabbi.

Shows you how much you know.

Think about your wife.

Friend, how could you take

the person you most

closest to you and trusts you...

Why didn't he just walk away?

Why did we need that?

It was going nicely.

You know who judges me?

You have shown no sign you're superior

to me and you are not my god.

You know nothing.

You know nothing.

Your ignorance is being shown

to the entire world.

Anthony Weiner

in an epic war of words.

Anthony Weiner had a meltdown

on the campaign trail.

Weiner got in a shouting

match with a voter.

You know who judges me?

You know who judges me?

The voters of New York City?

I've seen that tape

either online

or on television, you know

a 100 times and it's not

even about sex.

Why exactly is this

such big news?

Terrible shot, I got like,

right at the back of my...

Bald spot?

It does not look great.

Weiner begins to leave the bakery,

but then, listen closely.

This man, Saul Kessler,

makes a racial slur about

Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin.

Oh!

Well, then yeah,

that guy.

I didn't know that.

What do you think?

I don't know, I...

- You regret it?

This is a nasty jackass.

Has anyone ever told you

it's hard to get

you to talk about

your feelings?

Let me ask you something.

Are there any...

There must be some specie of fly

that stays on the wall and talks.

But I've never heard of one.

Usually, is... is the fly on the

wall technique, isn't that have

to do a little bit with the notion

of not being seen or heard?

You just kinda pick up

what goes on around you?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

DJ Anthony Weiner on this phat

ride all night long.

I thought

my political career was dead.

And I was somewhat liberated

as well but

liberation in a very Death Row

kinda way to it.

Anybody here from Granada?

Anybody here from Barbados?

Anybody here from Jamaica?

Thanks for coming out.

Thanks for coming out.

It's hot and humid,

and Anthony's crazy.

Boy like me

Weiner! Weiner!

Weiner! Weiner!

Boy like me

Boy like me

Whoa oh oh

I'll come

A boy like me a boy like me
