keep fighting for what i believe in and you're welcome to vote for me. >> there you have it. you just heard from the one person who is still openly supporting anthony weiner. we're going to have more from the controversial candidate for the mayor of new york city and why he's telling some people not to vote for him. thent verdict is in for bradley manning, the mixed decision on how the wikileaks founder is reactsing to that ruling. and also a escape from jail caught on camera. team work that helped him break out and why police consider him armed and dangerous. this is "way too early." hi, everybody. good morning. we also have a walk off on the yankees-dodgers game that we're going to talk about and david letterman is going to show us how "the new york post" comes up with all the great headlines. first, we begin with bradley manning and the not guilty verdict of aiding the enemy. despite being let off the

steepest charge against him, the former intelligence analyst was convicted on 20 others and could face 126 years behind bars. manning was convicted of leaking 700,000 secret documents to the wikileaks website. prosecutors argued his revelations ended up in the hands of osama bin laden. but the judge ruling that while the 25-year-old was negligent, there was no intent to share those secrets with the enemy. they hailed this verdict but many civil liberty advocates saw the ruling as an attack on whistle blowers. >> it is a serious precedent. it is a serious abuse. and it will mean the end of national security journalism in the united states as we know it if it is left to stand. >> president obama is proposing a new grand bargain with big spending on infrastructure, projects while slashing the corporate tax rate. this was panned across town by a local newspaper's editorial board who suggested the

president "take his jobs plan and shove it." they called it a further left version of a plan he already proposed two years ago. the president also shot back at supporters of the keystone pipeline and claim that project will create thousands of jobs. the president said they were putting all their eggs in one basket. >> now it's time for republicans to lay out their ideas. if they've got a better plan to bring back more manufacturing jobs here to tennessee and around the country, then let them know -- let me know. i want to hear them. wasting the country's time by taking something like 40 meaningless votes to repeal obama care is not a jobs plan. that's not a jobs plan. we can't be getting into a whole bunch of fads and pretend like, you know, yeah you roll back obamacare and all the jobs are going to be created. because the middle class was struggling before i came into

office. >> so there appears to be a feud between new jersey governor chris christie and ran paul and it keeps getting more heated. they were at it once again yesterday. this time it's all about the bacon. >> i find it interesting that senator paul is saying -- accusing us of having a give me, give me, give me attitude towards federal spending. maybe senator paul could deal with that when trying to redeal with the reduction of spending on the federal side. i doubt he would because most washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon so that they can get re-elected. >> this is the king of bacon talking about bacon? he's making a big mistake picking a fight with other republicans because republican party is shrinking in new england and in northeast part of our country. i'm the one trying to grow the party by talking about libertarian ideas of privacy and the internet. and attacking me isn't helping the party. he's hurting the party.

a lot of bacon bits there. senator john mccain is weighing in on the future of the republican party saying that the gop is going to be in big trouble if they don't get serious about immigration reform. >> if we don't enact immigration reform, i don't lthink it gainsa single hispanic voter. but what it does is puts us on a playing field where we can compete for the hispanic voter. if we don't do that, frankly, i don't see -- i see further polarization of the hispanic voter and the demographics are clear that the republican party cannot win a national election. that's just a fact. >> new york city mayor michael bloomberg promised to keep pushing for a ban of large sugary drinks even though an appeals court is the latest chamber to strike down the law. they unanimously ruled the restrictions on drinks over 16 ounces are illegal because the ban was implemented without legislative approval.

the court concluded drinking soda is not inherently dangerous if done in moderation. the court took issue with the board of health saying it ruled selectively on what kind of stores could sell larger sizes of sweet drinks and which could not. it was based on compromises made with businesses not about health concerns. more than a month to go until primary day, anthony weaner is pressing on for his bid for new york city mayor. he dropped to fourth place in the most recent poll, the former congressman is vowing not to drop out of this race. >> you know, sometimes people say to me, this campaign is pretty rough. you may want to quit. i know that there are newspaper editors and other politicians that say boy i wish that guy weiner would quit. you don't know new york. so you don't know me. quit isn't the way we roll in new york city. >> all right. so quit isn't the way we roll in new york city. his campaign was overshadowed by the communication director.

in an interview with "talking diagnose pointsmemo, the female staffer unleashed a tirade of expletives aimed at an intern calling her an f-ing slut bag among other things. this is in response to an article she wrote in the "new york daily news" describing her experience with the former campaign. many staffers joined the team with weiner simply to get closer to his wife, close aide to former secretary of state hillary clinton. she also said weiner jokingly called his female interns monica. the communication director since apology yiized for her remarks saying she thought that conversation was off the record. yeah. all right, so to spain now. investigators are saying that driver of that deadly train crash was on the telephone whether the train went off the tracks. he received a call on his work phone from spain's national train company informing him of what route to take. according to the train's black box, he appeared to be consulting a paper document at

the same time when the train derailed. the black boxes also showed he was going about 119 miles per hour before braking. that is more than twice the speed limit. he has been formally charged with 79 counts of homicide. arkansas police are trying to track down an inmate believed to be armed and dangerous after he slipped out of the county jail. you have to see this. he was being held behind bars on more than 20 dharnlgs including aggravated robbery. you see him opt phone. he makes a dash for it. the part you don't see is that man there in blue by the door is someone that police have now said was distracting to the deputies to help him escape. he pulls through that window. a deputy comes out tearing after him. he gets out into the open, into the parking lot where someone was waiting in a running get away car. the door was open. he jumps in. he is out of there. deputies on foot, they lost him. look at that guy. just jumps straight through. that takes practice. you know? poor deputy.

look at this lead he gets on the guy. i mean he's like half way out of the shop before the deputy gets out of the door. poor guy. so two stars of the real housewives of new jersey posted half a million dollars each in bail. they're looking closely at that video from arkansas to figure out how they can do that, too. teresa and joe are facing federal fraud charges. they did not enter pleas yesterday. they could face significant prison time if found guilty and joe could be deported. the story made us wonder, what celebrity or politician would you send packing if you could? tweet me your most creative answers fl we'll read a few of them coming up on the air. but can you imagine? juicy joe gets deported back to italy. teresa goes to jail. that means tia melissa and tia joe get to raise the girls. you know that is going to go down like a fart in church. still ahead on "way too early," new "sports illustrated" cover boy alex rodriguez explaining why he still wants to be a role
