de blasio has always been strong on this.t march on father's day tens of thousands, about 56,000 of us both bill thompson and de blasio were there. i think it's undeniable a amount of young blacks are stopped. almost 90% of them found to have done nothing wrong. it is frightening to live in a city where you can be pulled over because you fit a profile not because there is probable cause. that is wrong and it should stop. >> have any one of these candidates asked for your endorsement? >> every one of them. in fact, we spent the night. i had them all spend a night at a housing project on saturday night before right after the big hundred city march and they have all said to me, when are you going to mash? i said i'm not staying at an apartment with you guys. they are wanting to know when are you going to endorse. right now, i want to bring the issues up like stop and frisk, like public housing. i would rather deal with policy. we can always get to politics. we have time. >> there is still time. six weeks to go. reverend al sharp

bill de blasio is the actual progressive in the race. he has policies. he has programs. he is saying all the right things and speaking of police brutality, racial profiling. >> roger ailes, the head of fox news will be doing back flips. >> oh, god, yes. >> he will be in heaven. it will be a poster boy for everything he opposes. anyway, thank you, michael sherer. sorry to go after you. but you are here. joan, we agree once in a while. thank you, joan walsh. i guess it's catholic school coming back to haunt you. >> yes. >> this guy is too much. you didn't like to hear that? >> that's fine with me. >> you don't like being called prudish. thank you so much for coming on. as always, joan walsh from salon. >>> coming up, anthony weiner on the couch. we're going to talk to experts about this strange kind of sexual addiction and what it is that drive people to gout and become these digital streakers. i'm not sure it is sex, but they think it is. >>> president obama has essentially declared war on republicans in congress. you might say finally. they have been waging war against h

new york city council speaker christine quinn leads all candidates followed by bill de blasio. 50% of new yorkers say he should drop out of the race. >>> another high profile new york politician who is no stranger to controversy says weiner won't be getting his vote. >> if a public official used their office equipment to engage in the pasttime anthony weiner has in the last few years? >> yes. >> if you had to vote for mayor who would you vote for? >> i would vote but -- >> answer the question. show you're different than politicians. you're not going to vote for anthony weiner. >> correct. >>> 2016 speculation was running rampant yesterday as president obama and former secretary of state hillary clinton spent a little one on one time together at the white house and the white house released that photo right there of their lunch together which included grilled chicken, pasta jambalaya salad and of course friendship. the meal was said to be primarily social. got a laugh out of jen there. clinton is expected to have breakfast with joe biden later this morning. >>> there's been a lot of spe

he and de blasio are essentially tied for second with weiner, thompson, yes. only -- black candidate in the race. and he's had a tough votes all along and is clearly concerned about that, clearly as genuine -- has general win feels, yesterday he was giving a speech about stopping frisk policies with what happened to trayvon martin. he's got some genuine, emotional feeling about that. but yeah, he's had a whole lot more competition for black and hispanic votes which are just as important in this primary electorate from quinn, from de blasio, from weiner. so yeah, hoping for him, too, to try to solidify the base. >> bill: chris smith is contributing editor of "new york" magazine. chris, you and i have cover politics a long time. we've heard a lot of political spin. i don't think i've heard a worse or better exam than spin than anthony weiner gave yesterday on staten island when he was asked whether or not this big scandal is hurting his chances. he spins it around like this. >> i argue this. i'm going to be a successful mayor because of it. because it's going to

he was stumping for mayoral candidate bill de blasio where supporters got a blast from the past. >> then we're going to brooklyn and then the bronx and then staten island and then we're going to manhattan and all the way to gracie mansion. yeah! >> who doesn't remember that? >>> well, the white house rolled out the red carpet monday for some of hollywood's hottest a-listers. jennifer hudson, amy poehler all on hand to lend their support to obama care. administration officials are pushing a big pitch of the program to younger americans. >>> and it's been a rough homecoming for liz cheney since moving to wyoming just last year. a new public policy poll shows just 31% of residents consider the senate candidate to be one of them. >>> and that is your morning dish of "scrambled politics." >>> for a look at the weather here's nbc meteorologist bill karins. give smus some good news today. >> where? >> just something that doesn't have a 100-degree temperature in it. >> or extremely humid. it seems like this summer has been one or the other. it's really hot or really humid and raining. that's the

. >> i'm going to quote bill di di blasio, he said, i'm going to quote fran franklin roosevel. build bridges. >> john: he could release stimulus funds again. >> i think congress is a perfect boogeyman. everybody hates them. >> but it's also--this is what nobody ever talks about, because it's the president everybody has a tendency to look at him. the reality is congress has a far more dramatic impact on the economy than the president does. he could come up with the greatest plans in the world. congress don't pass them. >> john: we're looking at another lee years of this until g.o.p. president gets in and they cut taxes for the rich more, how do we get out of the ditch. >> we don't get out until we get the next presidency. i hate to say this, but this is a president who after two years of this term would have been a lame duck. his lame duck is coming earlier. >> john: i want to say some how credit card amnesty will get americans out there buying again and having savings. but is there we're looking at beyond three years. beyond making speeches. >> i think from the ground level it

you already have bill de blasio coming out, calling on him to withdraw. can this turn the polls upside down and cause an erosion that he cannot stop? he being anthony weiner? >> it's certainly not good for him. those polls essentially show that this is a tied race. whoever comes in the top two, they will face a runoff. i think if you're christine quinn, this is a good, good day for you. and you got to figure out how to capitalize on it. oftentimes, in debate segments, if you come off as the aggressor and you sort of kick somebody while they're down and you lob personal attacks, it gives them an opening to sort of take the high ground. so she has to really calculate how she wants to play this out. everyone is going to be talking about this. everyone is going to be tweeting about it. late night comedians are going to be making hay of it. so in some ways, the sort of damage speaks for itself for weiner. so i think quinn has got some calculations to make. and, you know, this was just a shocking, shocking thing. i mean, watching this in "the washington post" n

. >> one of those who wants him is out of the race is dill de blasio. he says enough is enough.ner is saying this is behind him and he's staying in the race. >>> this is the look and sound of the southwest jet liner crashing. the nose landing gear collapsed on monday. sparks showered the runway. ten people suffered minor injuries. the ntsb is conducting a full investigation. >>> it's an unhappy ending to a balloon ride a few miles outside of amsterdam. you can see the balloon going down in a lake. definitely not the plan. there were 11 people in the basket. two went to the hospital. it isn't known what caused the balloon to come down in the water. >>> vietnam war vet knows that first hand. during a patrol his platoon came under fire. he was the only survivor. he revealed what saved his life and how it dramatically changed his life. dr. sanjay gupta has his story. >> reporter: infantry platoon sergeant was on patrol in vietnam. >> as we're going out, i hear mortars coming in and machine guns going off. >> reporter: something odd happened. >> i feel myself falling face first into

. >> joining us is one of his opponents for mayor, bill de blasio.now emerged, is it your view that mr. weiner may still be in denial about the extent of his addiction to sexting and is that why you would rather he focus on that addiction supposed to trying to run for mayor? >> i think it's self-evident he's in denial. i'd like him to focus on himself and his family and move aside is that we are not able to have a serious debate on the issues facing the city so long as he's still in the middle of this. >> do you think he is addicted to this problem and needs additional help. >> from my vantage point, it seems that way. >> mr. weiner kept repeating nothing has changedness. is enough of another bit of repetition in the story. take a listen. >> things are not that much different than they were yesterday. in many ways, what happened today was something that, frankly, had happened before but it doesn't represent all that much that is new. >> has nothing changed? >> well, i think the whole point is about trustworthiness and the standard that public bents a

de blasio is at 21, thompson at 20, weiner at 16. we're always watching these things with fascination. he hasn't -- he's lost a big lead but he holds to the core 16. one in six new yorkers still say weiner when they're asked. >> if you put all the polls together the last several days, there's been a precipitous drop in his poll numbers, no question about it. what the floor is, i don't know. but the combination of the clintons world making it clear that they will don't want him around, that's going to damage his fund raising. it's going to damage his ability to get good campaign workers. he lost his campaign manager the other day. he's going to die on the vine here. i don't know what the bottom number is. he's probably not seen the bottom number yet. he can stay in the race. there's no reason for him not to. he's already humiliated himself beyond repair. the only way is forward for him. it's not going to be a forward to the top of the ticket. >> what about the fact he spent $45,000 of campaign money given by campaign contributors to h

well, he's been quietly campaigning for bill de blasio, the city advocate at several events across nework. he's been reenacting that infamous 2004 moment. >> but i realize as i was getting up here tonight taking off my coat that this shirt which is kind of wrinkled and all that and looks kind of like a hot day, it's ten years old. this is the shirs i was wearing when i gave the scream speech in iowa. so brooklyn and then we'll go to the bronx and then we're going to go to manhattan and all the twigracie mansion. yeah! >> well, i guess that's maturity. he's grown up. here's something different, by the way. really different if you're interested. newt gingrich was the latest to try google glass, the wearable computer that responds to voice commands. he recently posted a video. he filmed with the device from the peoria zoo in illinois. if you ever wanted to know what it's like to see through the eyes of newt gingrich, there's your chance. >> okay, what's her name? >> bibi the. >> hello. there you go. >> newt gingrich is the strangest there is. finally you'd never guess what guantanamo bay

well, he has been quietly campaigning for bill de blasio, the city advocate at several grassroots eventscross new york. he has been reenacting that infamous 2004 moment. >> what i realize as i was getting up here tonight to take off my coat, which is this shirt which is kind of wrinkled and all that, the reason it's wrinkled is it was ten years old. it's the shirt i was wearing when i gave the scream speech in iowa. we're going to brooklyn and then we're going to bronx and then styled and then we're going to go to manhattan, all the way, yes! yeah! >> well, i guess that's maturity. he has grown up. here is something different, by the way, really different if you're interested. newt gingrich is the latest to try a google glasses, the wearable computer that responds to voice commands. he recently posted a video he filmed with the device from the peoria zoo out in illinois. if you ever wanted to know what it's like to see through the eyes of newt gingrich, there is your chance. >> okay, glass. what is your name? >> bibi. >> bibi. hello, bibi. there you go. >> newt gingrich is the strangest

de blasio. >> twitter. >> mr. lu. >> both. >> mr. thompson. >> both. >> mr.. >> i'm trying to learn how to use twitter. >> mr. weiner? >> all right then. now you know what's not awkward? wearing this t-shirt around the city. let's spin. let's start with the applause in the room, because i think what you saw there was the ugly, sad, sick, sexual and porn-related underbelly of this entire public fascination. this is not about being faithful to new york, as some of our own viewers have said and as we'll debate in this segment, this is not about whether his character in his personal life matches his public life, those are all silly and relatively transparent defenses for what this is about, which is people love sex, they love talking about sex, they love talking about other people's sex often more than their own sex lives. any time you can move from the real issues in the new york mayoral race, which includes things like public racial profiling rather than private online profiles, and any time you get off the sewer system and on to somebody's texts, obviously the

like bill de blasio and bill thompson, 21 and 20 and anthony weiner at 16, right? >> right.ctly. >> bill: so he's still in the hunt. >> he's still in the game. miraculously. the reason that anthony weiner was able to come in and shake things up so much, like everyone said, it is a weak field. so you know, there's still a chance he'll be able to compete here and he is still far enough out from the primary in september that he -- you know, i sound like i'm crazy but he might have a chance. >> it is amazing. >> bill: i don't think you're crazy. there is six weeks to go before the primary, right? unless a dozen more women come forward, right, we cannot -- people cannot continue to talk about the sexting for -- the latest for six more weeks. it will get back to who's going to do what for the city. if it gets back to that, weiner is a contender, i think, on the issues side. >> sure. he, for one, is very committed to staying in this race. he did an interview over the weekend with a local paper on staten island and told them "you're stuck with me." so he's not going anywhere. his ca

mcdonald's we saw christine quinn at the barbecue last week that the workers held we've seen bill de blasio we've seen all sorts of city council members. it's a little ridiculous how much it's become a photo op the community support is really strong and the support from other unions is really strong so it's impressive here. it's worth noting that the state just passed a minimum wage increase the city just passed a paid sick days bill finally after three years and it's i think it's having an impact on the way the city thanks about low wage work so the site goes to is changing as it were. turns the i'm guessing that your customers occasionally. you. are familiar with the fact that many of you folks are out on strike or are protesting your wages have you gotten any feedback or you know if they are just you know in your daily life you know what kind of feedback are you getting what's your your measure of the room temperature is i'm i'm glad you asked this actually my burger king to. work and we went on strike yesterday and today was my first day back to work. and i interact with the coast was q

de blasio at 17% and bill thompson at 15% and the city controller john liu at 7%.th you. full disclosure here. you worked on hillary clinton's staff and you worked and just want to make sure and i think anthony weiner. >> client of mine several years ago, yes. >> glad we brought you in. he is your former client and you're watching this and what do you think? >> it is very difficult to watch. heartbreaking. listen, i think anthony displays qualities that i think a lot of people have responded to and said we would like him to be mayor because whether you have paid attention to his policy, you see him being a fighter and you've seen that on the floor of the house. but i think what's happening with who and now and people are being of two minds. on the one hand, respect her for coming out in the way that she did because she's such an extraordinarily private person and a lot of us who worked with her realize she's so private and for her to come out the way she has, we all sort of respected that. on the other hand, it gets to a point where you look at him and say, why did

our good friend bill de blasio has been be on the show many times, one of the leading candidates forf new york. he had a fund-raiser last night and his guest of honor was howard dean and howard dean, it was a back to the future moment here for howard dean. here he is. >> but i realize getting up here, i take off my coat that this shirt kind of wrinkled and all of that, hot day and all of that, the reason it is wrinkled is it is ten years old. this is what i was wearing when i did the speech in iowa. we're going to go all the way. [ cheering ] [ applause ] >> bill: that's howard dean. >> that's great. >> bill: you know, it is classic howard dean. when we see him he does look like he's dressed in the same clothes from ten years ago. >> governor from vermont. >> let's not forget that. he's from the home of maple and skiing and -- >> bill: ben & jerry's. he's probably wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he was governor of vermont. bet he hasn't bought a suit since. this is what it sounded like ten years ago. >> we're going to south carolina and oklahoma and arizona and north dak
