All language subtitles for Weiner 2016 DVDRip x264-WiDE

Shit.

This is the worst.
This is the worst.

Doing a documentary
on my scandal-

Hi.

I don’t know.

I guess the-the punch line
is-is true about me.

I did the things.

But I did a lot
of other things too.

- Mr. Speaker,
l yield one minute

to the distinguished gentleman
from New York, Mr. Weiner.

- Great courage to wait until
all members have already spoken

and then stand up and wrap
your arms around procedure.

You vote yes if you believe yes.

You vote in favor of something

if you believe
it's the right thing.

If you believe it's
the wrong thing, you vote no.

We are following a procedure-
- Will the gentleman yield?

- I will not yield
to the gentleman,

and the gentleman will observe
regular order.

The gentleman will observe
regular order.

It's Republicans wrapping their
arms around Republicans

rather than doing the right
thing on behalf of the heroes.

It is a shame-
a shame

if you believe
this is a bad idea

to provide health care,
then vote no!

But don't give me
the cowardly view that,

"Oh, if it was
a different procedure!"

The gentleman
will observe regular order

and sit down!

I will not!

It's about damn time.

It was an absolute pleasure
to see a Democrat not cowering.

- Is it not the rules
of the House

that under Clause 10-A
of Rule 21,

what the Speaker articulated
in this sentence

is in fact the rule.

The gentleman is untimely.

Encroachment in third reading
of the bill.

Those in favor will signify
by saying, "Aye."

- No question the guy knows
how to fight.

He's scrappy, he's combative,

he's always been
a great fighter

on behalf of the people.

- He never backed down
from anybody.

- You should urge them
to vote yes,

something the gentleman
has not done.

- You're scaring the hell
out of people on the right.

- That's the sum and substance
of Obamacare.

That's your idea.

Why don't you like it,
now that we work the law?

I got 94% of my colleagues.
What percent did you get?

How did that
Whip organization go?

How's that Cracker Jack
Peter King

Whip organization working out?

Stop whining
and get the bill passed.

Boy, that was passionate.

I'm glad somebody's finally
put their foot down

and says
we're not taking it anymore.

- Weiner is a rising star
in Congress.

- Married to one of Hillary
Clinton's closest advisors...

- Bill Clinton officiated
their Wedding.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
the honorable, Anthony Weiner.

- We turn now to Washington,
Where trouble is brewing

for a high-profile
New York congressman.

- It all started Friday night
at 11:30 p.m.

- A photo of an anonymous man's
bulging underwear...

- Was tweeted from
Congressman Weiner's account.

- Tell me definitively,
is that a photograph of you?

I'm reluctant to say to you

definitively anything
about this.

- And we're trying to-
- So it's possible-

- We're trying to get
to the bottom of

what it's of and who it's of.

- Have you ever taken a picture
like this of yourself?

I have photographs.

I don't know what photographs

are out there in the world
of me.

I don't know what things have
been manipulated and doctored.

- You would know
if this is your underpants.

- At an emergency press
conference, the truth came out,

like a...

Like a dolphin wiggling free
of a blanket.

- To be clear, the picture
was of me, and I sent it.

- Please welcome
Congressman Weiner's underwear.

Now, /am not happy about it.

But any time a new Wiener photo
comes out,

as a television host,
lam constitutionally obliged

to show them to you.

I took an oath.

- He first and foremost
apologizes to his wife, Huma.

She's pregnant
with their first child.

- I am deeply regretting
what I have done

and I am not resigning.

If it was me, I would resign.

- Today I'm announcing
my resignation from Congress.

- Yeah!
- Bye-bye, pervert!

- Okay, okay.
Okay, ready?

Ready, get on here.

And Daddy's gonna pick you up.

Whoa!

Whoa!

And down!

- Was there a moment
when you realized,

"/ have to lie about this?"
Or was it-

Oh, almost immediately.

I was like, "I gotta"-
I mean...

Yes.

Yes, I mean, of...

So, I mean, yes.

But, yeah, I knew instantly,
it was-it was pretty bad.

- What was Hume's reaction
when you told her?

- Her-told her the truth?
- Told her what happened.

- Told her the truth
or told her, you know,

somethings going down here?

- Well, walk me through it.
So...

- I don't remember.
- I think that...

I mean, it was a period of time
that, I mean,

I'd lied to her-
I mean, I lied to her too.

I didn't, like, 'fess up to her
and then lie to the world.

I was-the primary person
I was trying to protect

finding out about this
was Huma.

- And so,
"/ think I was hacked."

I think, you know,
Whatever it is.

l mean, the same stories
I was telling.

I Was-it started out
as my-my telling her.

- Did Huma want you
to get back into politics?

Well, she did.

Uh...she did.

She was very eager
to get her life back

that I had taken from her,

to clean up the mess
that I had made.

Running for mayor was
the straightest line to do it.

- Former congressman
Anthony Weiner made it official.

He is going to run for mayor.

He made his announcement
on the Web.

Every day starts right here.

- Honey, I gotta go.
- All right, good-bye.

And it's the best part
of my day.

All right.

- Last time Anthony Weiner
made Waves on the Internet

it ended his career
in Congress.

This morning, he's outwith
a highly-choreographed video

announcing he will be
a candidate

for the 2013 mayor's race
here in New York.

- Look, /made some
big mistakes,

and I know I let
a lot of people down,

but I've also /earned
some tough lessons.

I'm running for mayor
'cause I've been fighting

for the middle class
and those struggling to make it

my entire life.

And I hope I get a second chance
to work for you.

New York City should be

the middle class capital
of the world,

and I've got some ideas
on how to do it.

64 of them.
Right on my website.

Take a look,
tell me what you think.

We love this city,

and no one will work harder
to make it better than Anthony.

- I will fight for you
every single day.

Thank you for watching.

Why are they filming you?

- I can't-
I don't know.

most of the time, I don't
know why they're filming me.

- Are you somebody
I'm supposed to know?

Believe me, no.

He's Anthony Weiner.

- Oh, yeah.
It is, isn't it?

Is it Anthony Weiner?

- Why do you think you deserve
this second chance?

- Look, it's up-
in the final analysis,

it's up to the voters
to make that determination,

and all I'm saying is
here's some ideas that I have.

And at the end of the day,
it's not up to me.

It's not up to you.

It's up to the voters,
and that's all I'm asking.

- Former member of Congress,
Anthony Weiner,

has decided he will be
a candidate

for the 2013 mayor's race.

Welcome back, Anthony Weiner.

- I think people oughta
show shame in public life.

When they do something
really Wrong like this,

they should get out of action
for a While.

- We don't Want perverts
elected in New York City.

No perverts.

Three steps back, please.

- Weiner's staffers had to do
crowd control with the press,

a prob/em 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 shit.

- Weiner, you got my vote,
brother!

- Just so you know,
I turned down Andrea Peyser.

asked if she could
sit in, and I said no.

Well, l...

But 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 you?

Good, thank you.

- So the first question
I'm gonna ask you is,

What was your favorite
"Post" headline?

- I don't read
the "New York Post."

- You don't?
All right, um...

So how many Women
were involved in this sexting,

in the, uh-the 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, l couldn’t-

- 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 What-
Why are you hiding today?

- l-l'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, 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
into the video.

Why was that decision made?

- Your brother said that
your father never hugged you.

- Huma and I looked at
one another and said,

"You know, we don't want
to 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 health care 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.
Um...

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 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 glom onto,

"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 did not 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 inappropriate
physical 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.

We are in the market
for, um, office space.

- J' Many years
since I was here J'

- Good afternoon.
Weiner for mayor.

- J' On the street
I was passing my time away J'

J' To the left
and to the right J'

J' Buildings towering
to the sky J'

J' It's out of sight J'

J' In the dead of night J'

- J Ooh J
- J' Here I am J'

J' And in the city J'

J' With a fistful of dollars J'

J' And baby,
you better believe J'

J' I'm back J'

J' Back in the New York Groove J'

J' I'm back J'

J' Back in the New York Groove J'

J' I'm back J'

J' Back in the New York Groove J'

- I'll be down in one second.
Where are you guys going?

To a rally for Anthony.

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

J' In the New York Groove J'

Weiner!
- Mayor!

Weiner!
- Mayor!

- J' In the back of my
Cadillac J'

Anyone have a voter?

Poised and ready
to talk to voters.

This is Anthony Weiner calling.

Do you know more than one?

Yeah, 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.

All right, bye-bye.

She knows two Anthony Weiners.

- J' So baby,
you better believe J'

J' I'm back J'

J' Back in the New York Groove J'

- My name is Fran Weiner.
I'm Anthony's Weiner's mom.

- J' Back in the New York
Groove J'

J' I'm back J'

J' Back in the New York Groove J'

J' I'm back J'

J' Back in the New York Groove J'

- Look, you've had
a billionaire mayor.

Now you're gonna have
a thousand-aire

who has millionaire friends,
so we're gonna be fine.

We're gonna be fine.

All right,
let me get Huma up there.

I want to 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 of 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.

That was remarkable.

I feel what people
must have felt like...

Seeing Charlie Chaplin in
the talkies for the first time.

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.

I mean, man.
If there was ever anyone-

Like, if you in fact-

Actually, just close your eyes
and just imagine.

What would be the ideal first
lady for the city of New York?

Someone who's graceful,
someone 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,

"/ have one daughter.

But if/ had a second daughter,
it would be Huma. "

- She really stayed quiet
during the scandal.

Why does she want to be out
in the spotlight now?

- She wants to see her husband
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

want to work for Anthony Weiner,
but they're very intrigued

about proximity to Huma Abedin,
given that she's likely to be

an influential figure in an
upcoming presidential campaign

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.
Thanks for the advice.

All right, take care.
Bye-bye.

He does not feel comfortable
writing you a check

because he's on John Luis'
finance committee.

This is your A-list?

I'm not gonna do these

if you're gonna make
this unpleasant, okay?

I hate asking people for things
and 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's raising money for mayor.

Can put him on with you?"
And then you're off.

- No, no,
I think you get him

and then say Hume's here,
and wants to talk to you.

- Done and done.
Here, give me that sheet.

I'll help close the deal.

It's Huma.

How could you tell my voice?

I haven't talked to you
in a year.

How was the engagement?
I want all the details.

Aw, what a perfect engagement.

Aw, 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.

All right, 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 raised money in my life."

And, uh...
- Ka-ching.

Hey, Joe.
It's Anthony Weiner calling.

- It's Huma!
- Anthony Weiner calling.

- Hello, Joe?
- How are you, my brother?

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.

- $4,950 per person
and $9,900 per couple.

That's nice of you to say.

Now are you-is the 2O
gonna be in on Monday-

you're gonna bring it with you?

- I feel very awkward
about this one too.

- Are you married?
- You're a good friend.

Good to hear your voice.
- 250...

5,005 minutes.
That's not bad.

You did well.

' 5Y9, bye, bye.

- See you.
Thanks for everything.

- Thanks, guys.
Happy Fourth.

- I've been setting up
a schedule for tomorrow-

ls he gonna get on the ballot?

- He's going to get
on the ballot.

- Yay, what a relief.
- Yes.

- Yes?
Do we need to worry about this?

Hold this, babe.

Oh, this is pretty exciting.

It is.

I will sign it.

- Huma, is that the first
petition you've ever signed?

- L-yeah, it is.
Ever.

It's pretty cool, huh?

I need a book,
like a prep book.

Just something-
I need-

I need some-
I need, like-l have nothing.

- Just, like, a novel or
something that you just read-

No, but just something-

Don't you remember in my event
last week,

that woman was like,
"What's his position on..."

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.

- All right.
- 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?

- "Fuck you," really.
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 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-payer
health care system.

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!

What's with the boos?

Listen, ladies and gentlemen-

Ladies and gentlemen-
Ladies and gentlemen-

Okay, you don't want
to 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 win so bad.
He's the best.

- This does not need
a new government agency.

This needs a chance of policy
at the top.

Everybody deserves
a second chance!

All right, let's go!

- He has guts! He has guts!
That guy has guts!

Weiner! Weiner! 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 for that.

- 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, you need to 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 want to make sure

that my son grows up
in this great city

and be able to stand
on the street corner

and yell at his future mayor.

Thank you very much.

- That's a good man.
Good politician.

I support Anthony Weiner.
- Yes, we do!

- Yes, we do!
- Give 'em hell.

- Talking issues.
- Good luck, Mr. Mayor.

- Great speech.
- Thank you. Appreciate it.

- I think you can do it.
- Thank you.

Not bad, huh, bro.

Huh.

I might have successfully

whistled past
the graveyard here,

and I'm back to doing
what I wanted to do

and I always thought
I'd be a good candidate.

I always thought
I'd make a good mayor.

I remember once saying to Huma,
"You know, it looks /ike-

you know, we're back-
we're Ba-we're back, you know."

How much-
how much-how much sodium?

658 milligrams.

- This is 340.
Hold on a second.

Saturated fat.

- 0.7
- Five.

- Okay, Italian chopped
tomatoes.

- Imported Italian tomatoes.
Next.

Olive oil.

- Imported olive oil.
Next.

Sugar.

- Well, you went on and on about
having no sugar-

Sugar.

- We don't have any sugar
in here.

And We're back to being treated
like candidates.

You know, I went through
that bad thing and now l'm-

And now I'm back.
Now, I mean...

With a completely different
identity,

and I'm getting
all this attention,

which wasn't-again, wasn't
a terrible comfortable place,

but you know, I thought
it was going pretty well.

- Are we going to see more
of you on the campaign trail?

- I'm trying to figure out...
I'm a mom.

I've got my own life.
And I have my husband.

I'm very proud
of what he's doing.

So, yeah, I want to help him.

- How's your first day
on the campaign trail with Huma?

- Well, l-she doesn't
consider it a date.

- All right.
There you go.

This is my wife, Huma.
- I know Huma too.

I want to thank you for your
loyal service for Hillary, 2016.

- We Went out campaigning
a couple times.

She had a ball doing it.

We had kinda been living
in this defensive crouch

for a very long time

and getting out of that
felt right, felt good.

She's gorgeous.
- Huma!

- This is my wife, Huma.
- Thank you for supporting him.

Forget about everybody else.
Bullshit everybody else!

Don't worry about it.
Good for you!

- Breaking news just into
our newsroom in New York City.

The New York mayoral candidate
Anthony Weiner

sent additional explicit photos
and texts to a Woman online.

Correspondents posted...

- Good afternoon, Weiner for
mayor; this is Micah speaking.

- Led people to believe he had
put all the sexting behind...

- Just published screen grabs
of What they allege

are sexually explicit...

- Oh, Mister...
- What?

- But the key question
is Whether he engaged in-

How does Huma Abedin react?

Now the Website, as We
mentioned, is cal/ed Dirty...

- I under-
I understand.

- Photos did take place
after he left Congress,

July of 2012,
about a year ago...

- Okay, I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.

Okay, bye-bye-

What?

Like, are we going to be
going nuclear and being, like,

"This is absolutely not true
and this is fucking ridiculous"

or is that not our strategy?

- That's not going to be
our strategy.

Not gonna be the strategy.

- When in fact,
he is actually going to have

a press conference
in about 2O minutes

to discuss this
and some other things.

But that is really
the key issue.

Of course, he resigned
from Congress in June, 2011.

All right.

- I've been told that
Anthony Weiner

is on his way upstairs
at the moment.

We'll be hearing from him
very soon.

- Uh, could you move forward
a little bit?

- If I do that, I'm gonna lose
my spot, so I'm not gonna move.

- He will arrive at this
press conference with his wife,

Huma Abedin, who he has said
has forgiven him.

- Newly revealed messages
are by far

the most explicit ones
we've seen.

. Okay"

- Some people are wondering
whether she might show up today.

- The big question is Whether
the allegations are true

and that this correspondence
took place after he resigned.

Can you find Huma for me?

A major game changer...

- In this same window of time,
there was one other person.

I said it was over
an extended period of time.

I never said it started here
and ended here.

Fuck...

Me.

What number can they dial on?

- You want me to dial you in?
- No.

Can you bring Huma back in,
please, and then close the door

and stand there
beside it for a while.

I just-l don't mean to be
disrespectful,

but please leave me alone
for a little while.

- Do you have time
to do any of this?

- No. I don't.
- Not at all?

I mean...

It's when we were
talking about the...

about separating.

So where are you
on the statement?

- I can't get through
to them on the telephone.

We keep getting interrupted.

They think that
this is not gonna work.

They think this is whatever.
l- | don't know.

I'm, like, very anxious about
you and I being apart today.

Someone's gonna find you.
- Yeah.

- Unless we get someone
on the effing phone.

- Campaign office.
No, no, no.

Okay, Anthony's just trying
to get you on.

Okay.
- Hi.

Well, you're-you're saying that
the timeline is the problem,

which I get.

By the way,
Hume's on the line also.

Okay, so go ahead.

Obviously.

Look, this is...

a continuum of challenges
in our marriage

that ended at a certain point

and we decided to move forward
with our lives

and that's-that-
that was a problem,

and now it's behind us.

And as we said, other things
would come out.

Ba-ba-ba.

No.

Getting obviously...

We're getting deluged.

Well, my head is at...

tried to sell this as something
that people already know.

Hello?

You guys still there?

Mother of pearl...

Can we just have the room
for a second, you two guys?

- Heads up.
Heads up.

- Uh, good, uh...
good afternoon.

My name is Anthony Weiner,
Democratic candidate

for mayor of the city
of New York.

Um, I have said that other
texts and photos

were likely to come out,
and they have.

Perhaps I'm surprised that more
things didn't come out sooner.

Some of these things happened
before my resignation,

some of them happened after,
but the fact is that

that was also the time that my
wife and I were working through

some things in our marriage.

But I'm pleased and blessed

that she has given me
a second chance.

Huma has been out there with me

and she a few Words
that she Wanted to say,

so my amazing wife,
Huma Aberdin.

- Hi.
Good evening.

This is the first time I've
spoken at a press conference,

and you'll have to bear with me
because I'm very nervous.

And I wrote down
what I wanted to say.

When we faced this publicly
two years ago.

İt took a lot of work

and a whole lot of therapy

to get to a place
where I could forgive Anthony.

But I made the decision

that it was worth
staying in this marriage.

Anthony's made
some horrible mistakes...

both before he resigned
from Congress and after.

But I do very strongly believe
that that is between us

and our-our marriage.

So really what I want to say is,

l love him.

I have forgiven him.

I believe in him.

And as we have said
from the beginning,

we are moving forward.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Can you explain why-

- Why should we trust
your judgment?

- Why-why should we trust
your judgment?

Weiner is admitting that new

sexually explicit online chats
have surfaced...

On the nightlife site...

- The Dirty.
- The Dirty.

TheDirty.com.

- Looks...
looks a little bit like

he got it caught
in a waffle iron.

Like a...series...

series of...
series of paint swatches.

Believe that last color
is called "Public Humiliation."

- It was not just sexting
or text messages.

They spoke on the phone too?

Multiple times daily.

- The timeline here
is absolutely crucial.

Very crucial.

He resigned from Congress
in June of 2011,

little more than two years ago.

So when yesterday,

this emerged...

it was a problem.

- He did this big, sweet spread
with his Wife

and his newborn son

the same month that he told
the World

"I really feel like
a different person. "

- Turns out it was true...
he was a different person

because he sent these penis
shots under the screen name...

- Carlos Danger.
- Danger.

- Danger.
- Carlos Danger.

I assume it was to avoid

using a ridiculous name
like Anthony Weiner.

- Can we get the clip up
of Huma standing alongside?

There is a victim
of spousal abuse-

spousal abuse.

It is sickening to Watch this.

- She looked completely
despondent.

Her face was looking away.

She was shifting on her feet.

He's humiliated her
over and over again.

What does it say

about a husband who lets
his Wife do that?

Power, lust, personal gain,

and that's all
the two of them Want.

They don't care about
anything else.

- There was clearly
a calculation made

that Huma being there
was going to be crucial

to how people saw him, saw it,
saw their marriage.

- lf Anthony Weiner's
mayoral campaign

is gonna be saved tonight,

it's going to be saved
by his wife, Huma Abedin.

- Uh, not great.
Not great, yeah.

Javier at the "Times" tried
to nail me down on that question

I don't really know
the answer to, which is,

"When did it cut off,"
you know.

But she-
this girl has this narrative,

has this timeline
that I don't have any way

to check with or know.

Shit.

Okay, all right, well,
call me when you have a chance.

All right, bye-bye.

I need to follow up with him.

I just want to look
at the questions

and talk to you about
how you want to answer those.

So the answer to,
"Were people on the campaign

other than Huma aware"- no.

And "Had their been
multiple online exchanges

with multiple people
or was it just this one?"

Template for misinformation.

- Can l just say
multiple people?

Or is it just this one?

- I think you've gotta-l mean,
there was more than one, so...

I think-l think we've gotta
answer the question.

. Okay"

Problem was that the...

series of interviews that I did
when I got in the race

were after this.

And people asked me,
"ls the number still the same?"

I think I said to six
to Dominic

and then I cleaned it up
in subsequent interviews

'cause I knew that was
a problem.

The question is,
do we answer it or not?

I think we have to answer
these questions.

I think we have to answer,

because if somebody else
comes out, we don't-

- So okay.
So give 'em the answer.

- So I'm going to say...
- Yes.

It was more than one.

"Do you believe you're suffering
from any sort of addiction?"

Um...

they've asked that question
during the-

we gotta get all of my
interviews...

He said no.

- He's answered this
question before.

I think I answered the "New York
Times" magazine's story.

I did.
- Yeah, you said nothing.

- I think-l think-l think
Anthony touched upon this

in the "New York Times"
magazine profile.

- Okay, you don't have to answer
right at this moment, so...

No, I'm giving you the answer.

You showed me a thing
with the question,

and I'm trying
to give you an answer-

- I thought you were
thinking about it-

No, I'm talking words.

- "What's the strategy moving
forward" is his other one.

- Um, it's whatever
the answer was

when I got in the race.

I think it's something that...
I don't know.

What's the strategy
going forward?

- It sounds stupid to say this,
but yeah,

these are people, you know,
you're friends with,

you know, you're, you know...

You're in the-you know,
you're, like, pen pals with.

And, um...

it was connecting on such
a superficial level,

it was almost as if...

it was almost as if I was,
you know, playing...

Playing a video game, you know.

Um...you know, people would
reach out to me,

and We'd start just chatting
and then, you know,

sending emails back and forth
or Facebook Whatever,

or something that goes in
a different direction.

Someone says, "You're amazing"
and sends me a naked picture

and I respond to it.

/had a blind spot about it.

And that blind spot
was a pretty big one.

- Now I Want to stress,
this is verbatim.

This is exactly
What Went back and forth

between Congressman Weiner

and the blackjack dealer
from Las Vegas, Lisa.

And if you'll start us off
with Lisa's first line.

- Are you as passionate in the
sack as you are about politics?

- Baby, you'd be crawling
for the door

to prevent me
from fucking you silly.

- Nice!
Just what I'm looking for.

I want to bang the future mayor
of New York City.

Making me hard.

- Parsing the language was
clearly not the right way to go,

and that was a mistake
on my part.

The level of guilt and pain
that I feel...

You know, very sorry I put
everyone in this position.

It's gonna continue-
- Hi!

Hi.

It's gonna continue
a little while longer,

but I, you know,
generally think scandals

and crisis management
has a 72-hourwindow.

After the 72 hours,

it's not on a lead of drudge
anymore.

We're gonna try to look normal,

like we're holding together
as a group.

It's gonna be rough
for a little while.

Where we really are is back to
where we were on day one.

All that being said, I want to
give you a chance to...

either vent
or to ask me questions.

- I think that my team is
in a better place than I'm in.

I'm in a very bad place,
to be very frank.

I'm extremely frustrated
at your lack of clarity with me

in the innumerable conversations
that we had

leading up to me joining
the campaign.

I have not made any decisions
about what I'm doing

or what I'm not doing.

As of this moment,
lam here.

I'm in this room
and I'm on this campaign.

- You guys should talk to her-
the two of you.

- What are you,
the referee over there?

- No, I'm just saying,
I mean, it's Ahmed.

He's like family.
- No, I know.

But I just wanted to see if
there might be things

that other people might want
to say, like,

"Yeah, l-l'm there too."

- I feel-and I think some of us
have been frustrated with

feeling like we're left
in the dark

not even about, you know,
the actual situation,

but more, like,
how it's being hushed.

My whole team,
Barbara's team,

like, they really
want an apology.

- Right, got it.
No, I understand.

- I would like to flag for
everybody that stuff like this,

people are reporting back
to the "New York Post"

and it becomes something where
I'm walking down the street

and getting berated
by a "New York Post" reporter.

- Well, look-
- You guys, it's fine-

- It was horrific
to watch today the way

they were treating you
in the street.

- Yeah, we were walking, and
they were, like, badgering her,

and they're like, "lf you don't
answer our questions,

we're gonna write
that you're having an affair."

And it was bad.

- Just a quick optics thing
if Barbara's really leaving,

I assume those photographers
are still outside,

so you will look happy?

Yes.

I'm saying this for you.

I don't want it to be
that our secretary

walked down very upset at 6:30.

Everyone has to exhale.

Okay, this has been
a brutally difficult few days.

Take a deep breath,
have a drink.

This isn't life and death.
No one-

- No one died.
- No one died.

The entire world
knows about this campaign,

warts and all.

There's a lot of intensity, and
I know I brought it upon you,

but I don't want it
to make you crazy, so...

Joining me now to discuss

her online relationship
with Anthony Weiner,

Sydney Leathers.

How did all this-
how did this begin?

- In 2011,
I messaged him on Facebook,

chastising him for his behavior
with the first scandal.

He said that he was sorry
that he let me down,

then started to compliment me
on my appearance,

on my political views,
my writing,

I mean, just anything
you can think of.

He was laying it on thick.

So you would have phone sex
with him,

and how often would he call you?

- The most he ever called me was
about five times in a day,

which is a lot.

- For phone sex?
- Yeah.

- Morning,
my name's Anthony Weiner,

Democratic candidate for mayor
of the city of New York.

Today we're focusing on
creating a nonprofit czar

to be liasoned with
nonprofit organizations.

And I'll be glad to take any
on-topic questions

that you might have.

Any on-topic?

Yes, sir.
- Off topic.

Sure.

- How many women were there?
Can you remember?

Six to ten, I suppose.

But I can't tell you absolutely

what someone else is gonna
consider inappropriate or not.

Were they sexual?

How many conversations
did you have with women

after you resigned
that were sexual in nature?

- I don't believe
I had any more than three.

- Why don't you just
right now tell everybody

everything that you could
possibly remember about this,

so that we all get it
out of the way,

so you can go back
to the real campaign?

I basically have.

I mean, the only thing
you haven't learned,

you want names of people, right?

I'm not gonna do that.

If someone wants
to bring them self out,

why should I drag them
into this?

The point is, they're behind me.
It's a year ago at least.

- You keep saying that
this is behind you,

but you've said that before.

Last summer, you told "People"
magazine that this was over.

How can voters trust now?

How can they be 100%
confident...

- There's a phoniness
on that side of the debate,

about how outrageous
my behavior is.

They love stoking it.
They love talking about it.

They love building me up,

having me on their show,
so they excoriate me

and everything else.

There's a phoniness to it.

But let's-
I'll make this very clear.

I mean, I did the thing, though.

So when l-and I'm just-
you know-

I told you, you know,
that I understood politics

and I understand the rhythm of
the press and everything else.

I did the thing,
so it's not their fault

that they played their role.

They just were doing,
you know...

It's the...
it's the frog and the scorpion.

- I mean, did you take of it
personally?

It's hard...

l- l, I mean, I...

l think
the same constitutional...

The same constitution
that I have

that made me do the dumb thing

made it possible for me
to-to Weather the stuff

Without it gutting me.

I think I've pretty much said
what I have to say about that.

Now what I would like
to talk about

is housing in the Bronx.

Any questions about that?

- Do you have a sexual disorder
that you've been diagnosed?

- Question about housing
in the Bronx.

Go ask about his issues.

We want to know
what he's going to do for us.

We don't care about
that personal garbage.

We're from the Bronx.

We don't care about
his personal garbage.

Where is Lawrence tonight?

He's in DC.

His voice will play
in the earpiece,

not in the studio.

- Joining me now
is Anthony Weiner.

Thank-

- It's my pleasure, Lawrence.
How are you?

- For me, it just
comes down to this,

which is...

what is wrong with you?

- I don't understand
the question.

What is wrong with me
that I care so much

about the issues
that I fight for every day,

that I have my entire career?

No.

- Are you saying that because I
have things in my personal life

that are embarrassing,
I shouldn't run for office?

Okay, that's a fair position
to have.

Some people have it.

Well, you're not being clear,
Lawrence,

so-so let's work
a little harder at that.

- It does not seem
to be a fully healthy pursuit-

If you take in the totality
of your life, Anthony,

do you think you've spent
your time well?

First of all, that's not...

- Anthony, I think there
is something wrong with you.

- I know. You just said that.
You just said that.

Repeating it doesn't make it
any more interesting.

I'm looking at your life-

Well, I appreciate it.

Relentless pursuit-

You are relentless
about certain things...

- That was not-
that's not true!

That's not true.
That's not true.

- What I'm trying to get at,
Anthony, is what drives you.

- Okay, tell-in that case,
ask me that question.

You don't like things
that you know about me.

You want to make fun of me
on television.

Join the club!

Frankly, bigger guys than you

have been trying
to knock me down.

- I mean it
from a psychiatric level.

- Dude, I don't really need
your psychiatric questions.

All you can focus on is,
"What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?"

That's not anything
to the debate either!

I don't plan on losing.

Maybe I'll come on-

Maybe I'll come on this show
and kick your ass every night,

like I'm doing tonight.

- You'll get the last word
online if you want it, Anthony.

- Thank you!
Good night, Lawrence.

Part of What animates me
is l hate bullies.

It is pretty easy
to beat me up.

It's not that hard, and l just
don't respect it all that much.

Bigger guys than you
try to knock me down,

and I'm still here.

And by the Way, I'm an easy
target for you to say,

"Well, What's Wrong with you-
I know something

in your private life
that's embarrassing."

Well, congratulations.

You can get on the list,
but /'//-

We don't care What you think-

- I have never once criticized
you for your texting.

I think your photography
is just

perfectly standard
American photography

that's floating around
the internet now.

I've never said anything
about that.

- Even if I think
I'm the better candidate

with the better ideas,
don't run.

I've no prob/em, but don't run.

- You know, Anthony, that
you are a gravely damaged-

/said so!

Pretty crazy.

Who do you think
looks better there, me or him?

Want to see the online version

where we continued?

- Why are you laughing?
This is crazy.

- It's terribly crazy,
but what was I supposed to do?

I mean, tell me
what I was supposed to do.

This is where it continued.

No, no, no, no.

Focus on your speech.

- This just makes me
feel better.

This makes me get more fight
in me, less emotional.

Oh, really?

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 do that intentionally?
What are you craving?

What do you have to prove?

- You know,
that's a good question.

- Whatever the opposite
of that is,

is 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 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 decision for her.

I think Huma loves this guy.

She thinks
he'd be a good mayor.

What you saw at the press
conference was the real Huma.

Blaise Pascal, you say.

I counter that
with Shakespeare.

Has she eaten on the insane
root that devours intellect

and takes reason prisoner?

- Do you think
she's feeling regret?

What about?

- The whole thing?
- Yeah.

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 9 points, 25 to 16%.

- 53% of likely New York City
voters think

Anthony Weiner should pullout.

- The most unpopular
political figure on record,

an unfavorability rating
of 80%.

- I think that we can't afford
to leave the playing field

for too many days
is my concern.

Done.

All right.

So she's trying
to sell her story.

Oh, really?

That's what we heard.

Rodney does this...

Rodney does this joke.

I live in a very rough
neighborhood.

The other day, I ask a cop,
"Where's the nearest subway?"

He says, "l 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 doctor says, "You're crazy."

I said,
"l want a second opinion."

He says,
"Okay, you're ugly too."

Rodney jokes are easy
to remember, like, they're...

'Cause they're stupid.

- He's a...
he's a classic, Rodney.

What are you talking about?
Oh, boy.

So nowadays, boy,
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 a/readyjumped 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.

/had him on this pedestal

and 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.

I made mistakes
and embarrassed myself,

hurt my family, and for that,
lam profoundly...

profoundly sorry.

And for that,
lam 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-

- Good morning.
- It's Anthony.

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 e110.

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's 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 /east,
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.

- Here, let's-
let's remember something.

I mean, we-we've just been...

pummeled in this week.

Just pummeled.
I mean, 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

"l ain't quitting" thing up
on the website?

Why don't I call around to-
I'll call around to the TVs,

give them all one-on-one
tomorrow.

- If you sort of go frontal
with that again,

people are gonna have
an instant negative reaction.

"/ don't Want to hear that
anymore."

So this is a solo flight.

- Okay.
Thank you very much, guys.

I appreciate it.

- Thank you.
- Take care.

- Seriously,
like, fuck those guys.

You dropped ten 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-am I getting reports
from City lsland-yes.

I've got no choice.
It's on the public schedule.

Got to go.

- So right now, we have
another speaker, Mr. Weiner.

- Thank you very much.
- Go home!

- You know, I've had a little
bit of a rough week.

Good!

- 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 is kinda
going wrong recently.

You, the residents
of this community,

had 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,
if there's someone

better qualified than you
to do this job

and when you say
enough is enough-

It's a betrayal of trust.

- My personal issues
are very public.

If you believe it's on the same
level of committing a crime,

if that's what you believe,
that's your right.

Let me finish this answer.
- Betrayal of trust.

Let me-let me...

You're exactly right.

I violated the trust of my wife.

I did that.
That was wrong.

That was my-
that was wrong-that 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-l just said,
"Okay, let's go to City Island.

Let's talk to these good people,
let's bring 5O 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 other 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
gotta say, "Look, I don't quit."

New Yorkers don't quit.

I'm not gonna go over
to the corner and curl up

because someone found out
something embarrassing about me.

"You did something
we don't like."

Cameras 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
if they want to.

Thank you very much.

I'm done, guys.
lam done.

I am off my fucking heels.

That posture of, like,
sitting back

and letting people punch me-

I'm done with it.

The end of the day
turns issues and ideas...

All right.
How you doin,' my friend?

That guy's running for mayor.

You say, "Hey, Mr. Dude."
Tell him to vote for me.

Dude, how's business today,
ladies?

- You should get a little
discount for that.

- How you doin', my friend?
I'm Anthony Weiner.

I'm running for mayor.

You all have a sweet year.

- You're a real scumbag,
Anthony.

- Wow, very nice,
in front of the kids.

Charming.

Yeah, it takes one
to know one, jackass.

Don't lose your temper.

- What's up?
What's up?

What's that-you wait till I
walk out till you 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 a nerve to even walk-

- Oh, yeah, and you're-
and you're a perfect person?

- I'm not-
- You're my judge?

You're my judge?
What rabbi taught 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 work out-

- Thank you, thank you.
- Stay out of the public eye.

No, I'm not gonna stay-

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

I don't take my judgment
from you, and I don’t judge you.

- You're a bad example
for the people.

- That's your judgment?
- No, that's obvious.

- Okay, okay,
that's why we have elections.

It's not normal behavior.

- 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?
- I'm telling you-

- Do you know who judges me?
Go visit with your rabbi.

- It's immoral-
- Go visit with your rabbi.

- And think about-
think about your wife.

_ By the WaY”

- How could you take
the person-

- By the way, that is between me
and her and my God.

Why didn't he just walk away?

Why did he need that?
It was going nicely.

- You know who judges me?
- That society-

- 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, 100 times,
and it's not even about sex.

Why exactly is it
such big news?

- Oh, and you're
a perfect person?

Terrible shot, I got, like,
right the back of my...

- Bald spot?
- 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.

You regret it?

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 the fly on the wall
technique-

isn't it have to do a little bit
with the notion

of not being seen or heard,

you just kind of pick up
what goes on around you?

I Wait a minute I

I Wait a minute I

DJ Anthony Weiner on the set!

- I thought my political career
was dead.

And I was somewhat liberated
as well, but...

liberation in a very death row
kind of way to it.

Anybody here from Granada?

Anybody here from Barbados?

Anybody here from Jamaica?

Thanks for coming out!
Thanks for coming out!

If

It's hot and humid!

And Anthony's crazy!

J A boy like me J'

Weiner! Weiner! Weiner! Weiner!

J A boy like me J'

J' A boy like me J'

J' Whoa-Whoa-Whoa J'

I/comer

J' A boy like me J'

J' Boy like me J'

J' Ugly boy like me J'

J' If a never fi

- Never quit!
Never quit!

- Never will, man.
Thank you.

Go, go!

- J' /fa never fi

J' She would a never Waan see J'

J' See mi golden Wagon J'

- Well, she became
the poster Woman

for standing by your man
back in the '90s,

but is Hillary Clinton now
changing her tune a little bit?

Rumor has it the likely
presidential contenders

demanding her top aide,
Huma Abedin,

drop her own lying, cheating
husband, Anthony Weiner.

PIX11's Mary Murphy caught up

with Anthony Weiner
this afternoon.

Hey, Mary.
- Hi, Tams.

"New York" magazine
is suggesting

that Weiner's wife is being
asked to make a choice:

Hillary for president
or Weiner as husband.

We tried race-Walking
with mayoral candidate,

Anthony Weiner,
to get a direct answer.

Do you think that your wife
will choose to stay with you

over helping Hillary Clinton
get elected president?

- Look, I know there's been
a lot of damage done,

collateral damage because of
decisions I made in my private-

- But you're not answering
the question.

Have to make it up to.

And I'm gonna do
the very best I can.

- Do you think your wife
will choose you?

- Can I get my answer here?
- I'm sorry.

But as far as Huma goes,

she's one of the most talented
people I've ever known

in public life
and I think anyone

who's ever worked
with her knows that.

- Do you think
they should ask her

to make that kind of a choice?

I really gotta go.

- Huma, are you joining
this campaign stop?

I have to leave soon.

- You are joining?
No?

- I have to get on
with Philippe.

- Okay, you want to telephone?
- Yeah.

- You know that?
- Yeah.

- You know that telephones work
all around nowadays?

Do it in the car.

- I don't know if it's
a good idea.

Like, let me talk to Phillippe-

- He's gonna be a no.
He's gonna be a no.

But I don't have any prep.

- For what?
To whom?

- On what to say if people
start asking me questions.

The press.
ls the press gonna be there?

I'll give you some prep.

I'll give you some prep
in the car.

You don't know anything.

No, I would say, act

like a normal campaign
candidate's wife.

"I think Anthony's doing
an amazing job.

It's great to be out here.
I said I would."

Do my personal relationships
suffer

because of the superficial
and transactional nature

of my political relationships
or is it the other way around?

Do you go into politics
because it's-

you're not connecting
on that other level

and did the technology
that undid me

allow me to be in touch
with people

and have kinda more
superficial relationships?

You know, I don't-l don't know.

I mean, look, it gets back
to the very premise, you know,

politicians probably are wired
in some way that needs...

needs attention, but I don't...

You know, I'm not...

I'm not blaming that, for sure,

but I don't-
it is hard to have...

it is hard to have
normal relationships.

I've waged a campaign
focused like a laser beam

on fighting for the middle class
and those struggling to make it.

I've published two books
of new ideas-

125 of them, in fact,

on everything from restoring
discipline in our schools

to creating a single-payer
health plan for us.

- Are you gonna do this?
Oh, l thought-

- I'm not in this ad.
- Oh, I thought-

You keep saying.
- Really?

Do I look like-
Do I look like I'm camera-ready?

- If you are absolutely not
gonna do anything more

for the campaign, then yeah,
then there's-then start now.

Start now.

But if-if there's a chance
you're gonna want to

at some point, do it,
then let's go ahead and tape it.

It's gonna take ten minutes;
we could have been done by now.

It will cause a firestorm.

Just like the first already,
it gets out, and I'm in it,

and then it's a story, and then
we gotta deal with it-

- Forget it.
Let's just drop it.

Like, why is that worth it?

Let's go.

I just think it's a huge risk.

All right, ladies, thank you.

- Anthony-
- Quiet, please.

And action.

- I've waged a campaign
that's focused like a laser beam

on fighting for the middle class
and those struggling to make it.

Powerful voices made it clear
from the very beginning

that they didn't want me
to get to-.

It's really apocalyptic
right now.

I'm not really sure
if the sun's gonna continue

to rotate around the Earth.

Hello.
My name's Anthony Weiner.

Want a chicken?
Every pot.

And action.

Powerful voices have made it
clear from the very beginning

they didn't want me to win,

but this isn't about
what they want.

They've gotten their way
for far too long.

If you give me the chance,
l will

fight for you and your family
every single day.

Good.

Cut.

. Okay"

Honey, I'm gonna leave.

Leave a few minutes after
I leave before you leave...

Don't worry.

- Someone might think
you're married to me.

Don't worry.

- Do you think Huma will
come out on the campaign trail

between now and election day?

Will she be by your side
on election night?

- I don't know.
I mean...

You know, l'm-l'm walking
a fine line.

You know, you have-
as a reporter,

you have an appetite for
the Huma side of this story.

I want to talk about issues of
importance in the middle class

and the issues that citizens
care about.

- Fair enough, but Huma
was a key part of your rollout.

She spoke on your behalf
quite passionately

the moment the second wave
of scandal-

the media didn't
put Huma into this.

You and Huma put Huma into this.

- You're asking
where she'll be in the future,

and I answered your question.

Do you want to come with
or not?

Yeah, I'm on the way now,

but it's on the day books
for 9:30.

He's saying-
he's saying don't?

Philippe said that?

Okay, all right.
See you soon.

Here, let me-
let me handle this one alone.

I gotta go upstairs alone.

- l'll come back down.

. Okay"

It's my last race.

Running finally, you know...

It's been my dream to run
for mayor and...

I also want him
to see us together.

We'll do it later.
We'll-it'll be fine.

All right, give me a kiss.

İPad?

All right, Jordan, do you want
to get in the stroller

or you want to walk?

Stroller?

It's all wet.
Did you say, "All wet"?

You want to push?
Okay.

Hey, I've got
a fairly brilliant idea.

What if I say this, you know,

they lost my name in the-
in the books.

They can't find it.

So we've been running around

trying to figure out
how to fix it.

What if I just say that 9:30
worked on Hume's schedule-

unfortunately she has
a work conflict now

and she couldn't do it.

Once we get this delay-
you know, we had this delay

because of the problems
at the board of elections.

What about that?

Okay, it's-
it sounds like a duck.

Hi!

All right,
I'll talk to you later.

Beep, beep.
Comin' through.

Beep, beep.
Comin' through.

Josh, you're killing me, buddy.
Josh, get out of the shot.

Josh, get out of the shot.

- Anthony, you seemed
pretty upset

at the NBC interview
about your wife's absence.

Does it say anything to us-
- What absence?

- Her absence
and not being here today-

Oh, no, this was-

this happened because
of the same thing-

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.

All right, guys, we gotta go.

I'm gonna go that way,
is that okay? Sorry.

- Can we just do
the one question?

We'll all get out of your way.

- One question-
I've just done 4O questions,

And now you're dealing
with a 20-month-old.

- Your wife's absence-
you seemed pretty agitated-

No, no, it's just-

it's just seven or eight or nine
questions on the same subject.

After a certain point, I think-

well, question being asked
again and again, so.

- Her absence,
does it say anything?

All right, thumbs up!

Thumbs up!
Thumbs up!

- The craziest part of the
Whole Anthony Weiner this is,

the guy never met you
face to face.

No, he never met me.

- I've had more contact
with you already.

Are you angry with him?

- I think I am
a little bit 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 fantasize
about actually...

if you did go to confront him.

- 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-took
of my plan right now.

We'll drive on 48-
- What media's there?

...Camille just called me.

I don't have any update.

I literally just ran here

to give you the tick-took
of my plan.

My plan-this is the tick-took
for my plan.

- I'm not going.
I shouldn't go.

- You don't want-
Well, the phone bank-

The phone bank is at the office.

- Yeah, well, l-
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.

Boss-
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 shit out of her.

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, encircle
her and just chant the shit-

No physical contact.
Chant the shit out of her.

Jordan!
- All right, thank you.

All right, bye-bye.

Tell me what's going on.

- Pineapple's in front
of the office.

- Who's-
- Sydney Leathers is-

Oh, shit, I shouldn't
have said that on the camera.

- Why not?
- Sorry.

'Cause that's our code word.
- Oh.

Sydney Leathers is outside
of 5975th Avenue right now.

We are...staying calm

and managing the situation
right now.

I have two contingency plans
in place

if 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 fucking fails at life today.

I wonder...

if I had more time,
could I rebound again?

Even when things-

when We thought
We were going pretty Well,

we still were dealing with
the puns and the nastiness

and, like, the outrage
of the editorial pages.

Why do you think that is?

I lied to them.

I got a funny name.

And, um...

They don't do nuance.

Headline writers
and editorial pages,

like, 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?

- Well, it-l've had
this conversation with myself

recently where I'm...

trying to visualize...

How different it would've been.

Not very.

I mean, they-they-they-

they got the comfort
of being able to...

Righteously vilify you.

Right.

- 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.

- It's Anthony Weiner.
How are you, my friend?

Congratulations.
You ran a great campaign.

- Somebody just emailed me
to tell me

this woman's actually
inside the party?

- She's downstairs.
- Yeah.

- We have
a security detail on her.

- Sydney, what are you gonna say
if Anthony Weiner

walks through this door
about ten feet away from you?

- Well, I guess, you'll see
when he arrives.

. Okay"

- Fuck.
- Yeah, she's downstairs.

She's downstairs in the bar.

- We can sneak you in
through McDonald's

and into the staircase upstairs.

She'll never know.

. Okay"

We discretely pull up-

I'm budging 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 gonna face the indignity
of being accosted by this woman.

She's not in the venue.

- You think that's how anyone's
gonna cover it?

What do you want to do?

I'm gonna surround her-

Surround her with-

- Can we get a picture with you?
ls that all right?

Can somebody take a-

- You go ahead.
- You get in this, Jake.

You're gettin' in this.

Are you okay?

You sure?

Where's he going?

Josh, come on.

You do have to move quickly
when we get out of the car.

We can't, like, 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.
- Channel 7.

- Don't come.
Go home.

- Stay on the line.
Stay on the line.

Here we go.

- No, you can't call me back
in five minutes.

- Here we go.
Here we go. Car.

Now, now, now, now, now.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

- Hey, guys.
Welcome to New York.

Where am I going?

Are you serious?

Oh, 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?

- What's the plan for tomorrow,
Anthony?

- What's the plan for tomorrow?
- Don't push me.

- Don't push me!
- Don't push us!

Don't push us!

Your guys have been pushing us,
Anthony.

Do you-do you like the fact
that they've been pushing us?

Fucking assholes.

- You're gonna be arrested,
motherfucker.

- Oh, show it-
show it to me again!

- Whoo!
- Oh, my God, what an asshole.

As he rushed into a car,

Weiner's security team scuff/ed
with reporters.

The candidate's response."

a raised middle finger
through the car window.

- Can't believe
I gave the press the finger.

Still have this virtually
unlimited ability

to fuck up things,
day by day.

Why have you let me film this?

- "I, Bill De Blaslo..."
- I, Bill De Blasio...

- "Do solemnly swear..."
- Do solemnly swear...

- "That I will support
the constitution

of the state of New York..."

- That I will support
the constitution

of the state of New York...

- "And the charter of the city
of New York..."

- And the charter of the city
of New York...

- "That I will faithfully
discharge..."

- That I will faithfully
discharge...

- "The duties of the office of
mayor of the city of New York."

- The duties of the office of
mayor of the city of New York.

"So help me God."

So help me God.

Thank you.

- The scandal has been reduced
ad absurdum.

The laws of entertainment
gravity are gonna suck the...

the...documetary
into the same vortex.

What do you mean?

- The same things
that people want

and were intrigued by
and fascinated by

and titillated by, it's...

as much as you may
want to tell a story,

it's still gonna be the same
frame of the same thing,

but...l don't know.

I don't regret letting you
follow me around

and kinda documenting
some of it.

Um...

Just 'cause
I just think that it-

I mean, I hope that
it's more than

just a punch line kind of thing.

I want it just to be viewed as
the full person that I was.

And I can't believe
my entire everything

is being engulfed by this-
by this thing,

and maybe that's what happens.

You know, I mean...

It's kind of like, you know,

"Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln,
how was the show?"

You know, maybe I was naive too.

You know, there's a tendency-
and we do it for a living,

guys like us,
to try to figure out, like,

what the meta viewpoint
we're all supposed to have is...

- Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.

I'm trying to make
a nuanced point

about a complicated situation

that you and your party
are trying to oversimplify

by saying the president's
doing nothing-16-

- The next generation
of politicians

act differently
because their entire lives

will be documented on some sort
of online platform.

I think that's already-
I think we all-

- Oh, look at the time.
I gotta-

Hey, buddy.

Oh, my God!

Hey, can I get a picture
with you?

- Sure, let me just finish
with this guy.

Head this way.

Hold it right there.

Mom, Mom, Mom!

Guess who I'm standing
in front of.

Anthony Weiner.
Right across from my school.

Mom, I...

Yeah, I want to see
your Wikipedia.

Please, don't.

I would encourage you
not to actually.

Written word is dead.

- Oh, my God.
- Got it, champ?
