the new york daily news did not think that mayor giuliani being forced to vacate gracy mansion by the collapse of his marriage meant, quote, he is not fit to lead america's premier city. as the new york daily news said of anthony weiner today, the new york daily news did not think that mayor giuliani having an affair with his press secretary, letting his marriage collapse very publicly, and very bitterly, and being forced to vacate the mayor's official residence meant that rudy giuliani was, quote, lacking the dignity and discipline that new york deserves in a mayor. the words that the daily news aimed at anthony weiner today. the "new york times" never suggested that arkansas governor bill clinton should stop his campaign for president in 1992 when one of his lovers came to new york city to hold a press conference about their affair and play tapes of their phone calls before the new hampshire primary. >> yes, i was bill clinton's lover for 12 years. and for the past two years, i have lied to the press about a relationship to protect him. the truth is, i loved him. now he tells me to

>> did gracie describe how he was on the phone? >> she didn't, our family was.is just now getting around to processing, i think, as most of our family is, just now processing the reality that we are not on the other end of this mountain of miss information, now the jury has spoken. and now we are exonerated as a family, but more importantly, george is exonerated as a defendant and we are going to process that. it takes time. you know, we have been on the other end of this for the better part of a year and a half now, it will take us time to heal. >> what will he do? he is a free man. he has come out tonight into a world where many people dis -- despise him, you know that. will he have concerns for the quality of life for the rest of his life, for his safety? >> we have always feared for his safety and our safety as a family. clearly, you know, he is a free man in the eyes of the court. but he is going to be looking around his shoulder for the rest of his life. there are factions and groups and people that would want to take the law into their own hands as they p

>> did gracie describe how he was on the phone? >> she didn't, our family was. george is just now getting around to processing, i think, as most of our family is, just now processing the reality that we are not on the other end of this mountain of miss information, now the jury has spoken. and now we are exonerated as a family, but more importantly, george is exonerated as a defendant and we are going to process that. it takes time. you know, we have been on the other end of this for the better part of a year and a half now, it will take us time to heal. >> what will he do? he is a free man. he has come out tonight into a world where many people dis -- despise him, you know that. will he have concerns for the quality of life for the rest of his life, for his safety? >> we have always feared for his safety and our safety as a family. clearly, you know, he is a free man in the eyes of the court. but he is going to be looking around his shoulder for the rest of his life. there are factions and groups and people that would want to take the law into their own hands a

him about what he would say to his son and his answer was -- well, he's going to get to grow up in gracie mansion so stop complaining. i think it's just appalling to expose your child to having your father's business paraded around like this. >> that's a real window into the value system. that's all about getting to live in gracie mansion which, mike bloomberg didn't live in. >> i would rather live in his house! >> what about the mcdonald's? we haven't talked about this in a while, chris slcillizza. this is not a question of legality now, it is a question of propriety for the governor's wife had run up charges on the political action committee tab which is apparently okay in the very lax virginia campaign finance rules. >> right. $10,000 almost spent on clothes from his political action committee which, as you point out, is not illegal. to be honest, very little of what has been reported about what bob mcdonnell accepted or what his family accepted, not the vast majority -- the is not illegal under virginia law so my feeling is that that will be changed in the near future to make some of

did gracie describe how he was on the phone? >> she didn't. our family was.e is just now getting around to processing. i think as most of our family is just now getting to process the reality that we're not on the other end of this mountain of misinformation that now the jury has spoken and that now we are exonerated as a family but more importantly george is exonerated as a defendant and we are going to process that. it takes time. we've been on the other end of this for better part of a year and a half now. it's going to take some time to heal. >> he's a free man. he's come out tonight into a world where many people despise him. you know that. they'll continue to. because of this result. it's incredibly polarizing case. does he fear for his safety? does he have concerns about the quality of a life for the rest of his life? >> he has always feared for his safety. we have always feared for his safety and our safety as a family. clearly, you know, he's a free man in the eyes of the court but he's going to be looking around his shoulder for the rest of his life

tell his son some day about the scandal weiner joked, first of all, the kid is going to grow up in gracie mansion so i'm going to say, kid, don't complain, but others are complaining, including the governor. >> this is summer political theater in new york. we laugh because if we didn't laugh, we would cry, right? >> reporter: a new quinnipiac poll out today has weiner's support tanking. a majority of democratic primary voters now want him to get out. friends say the clintons are mortified and wish he would take the hint. many wonder why huma would let hillary get dragged into this. as for clinton she's pushing forward. in fact, after today's lunch with the president, tomorrow she's having breakfast with her chief democratic rival in 2016, if she runs, joe biden. andrea mitchell, nbc news, washington. >>> tonight emergency storm shelters are open. people across the hawaiian islands are bracing for tropical storm flossie. it's expected to dump heavy rain, causing flooding and mudslides. tornadoes are even possible in this. even though the storm is weakening as it approaches the island, and

he didn't live in gracie mansion. he lived quietly in an apartment. whatever he did alone or with someone else was his business and no one else's. that kind of restraint is not part of the package we're getting apparently from weiner. restraint. >> the other thing, at a human level, i think we can look at what happened before. two years ago and we can say this was sort of a human failing on his part. it was shocking, surprising, all of these things. but i look at that ambition i'm talking about. i haven't seen politicians are -- he's more amount bishs than anyone else i've covered. i thought after what he went through, that ambition would go override the other stuff. that's so shocking that it would keep happening >> we'll find out. leave open the possibility he's got something to tell us. i don't trust him. elied to luke russert and spinning and saying it may have happened afterward, some clever pr language that suggests it might have happened before or after. good reporters will pin him down in the next couple of minutes and nail him. is this a recu

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 case in new england. by far the worst weather. new york city got drenched over the last hour. it's now ending and it looks li

and do you have the judgment to be in gracy mansion. >> i think it's a fair question.>> reporter: it doesn't bother you? uh, no. i mean, a lot of politicians have their issues, and i just -- i think this one we can put behind us. >> i think it's kind of creepy. i don't think i would want that as my mayor. >> reporter: one open question has been what did humana know about his relapse into sexting last summer. one over time she decided that it's best for their young son to stay together, so she started once again trying to repair their marriage. i've seen a plot lot of places she's very ambitious, but anybody knows humana, before she married him, she had a lot of very rich, very powerful people, and she decided to marry him for love, a, and b, she is also the closest confidant to hillary clinton, who may even be president. she doesn't need him to be in power. >> it seems there's something new every day on there. >>> just a reminder, we're going to speak to one of huma abedin's close friends to get her perspective. >>> all right. president obama is resetting the agenda tr

." >> if she knew, he is in on it, she wants to live in gracie mansion.ower lust, personal gain, they don't care about anything else. >> bob, what do you think? you are a seasoned vet in both sides of this kind of story? [chuckles] >> that is absolutely correct. let me just say a couple of things. one, what her motivation is, why she stands up there, as many wives have after their husbands have embarrassed them. why they don't pull a lorenna bobbitt, i don't understand -- if you don't understand that, look it up. about half the mechanic candidates i have had had real problems of either money or sex -- >> or drugs or alcohol. >> or all three. >> which they lost. >> no! they won. most of them won, that's the worst part of it. they started out to be fine. we would have an interview. and then halfway through, i would say, can we really put this idiot in the congress and then we did! >> and look at the policies that resulted. >> i had a guy that announced to me that he was gay halfway through the campaign. i said, you decided to tell me that now. he said, yeah

i said, what happens, gracie. he was involved in an altercation and he used a gun to defend himself but george is going to call you and fill you in himself. he wants to tell you the truth and every member of his family the truth that he did from his own home. he called and basically said what we know to be the murder. >> there are so many killings, shootings, zwenlts. people say, why this case? i've never known. we pick and choose for whatever reason. why was this too much focus on it, they have a business script, the crumps jesse jackson, they have to promote racism to see if they were asleep. they spun george's race. as a white man. later when he became hispanic. they sent -- nbc has sent a profile. >> nbc has fired people for doing that. they took out a huge chunk of audio to convey a different point. repeatedly and now to put him in to go forth. >> mr. beasley is co counsel for gzblzb. is there anything from the line of questioning is not going to be bizarre. you continue to hear she insists only to get george

i said, what happened, gracie? he was involved in an altercation and he used a gun to defend himself but george is going to call you and fill you in himself. he wants to tell you the truth and every member of his family the truth from his own mouth. and that's what george did later. he did call and basically explain to be what we all know to be the truth now. >> there are so many killings, shootings, deaths. people say, why this case? i've never known. we pick and choose for whatever reason. there are lots of them out there. why was this too much focus on this one? >> because those other cases are not profitable. they have a business model, a script, the crumps, jesse jackson's of the world and they have to promote racism in order to see that they don't become obsolete. this was a profitable event for them. they spun george's race, as a white man. later when he became hispanic, then later the media spun his race into white hispanic. they used deceptive imagery of him, as something he's not. nbc has sent a profile -

but she told me, no, it involves george, which was kind of mysterious, i said what happened gracie? she said well he was involved in an altercation and he used his gun to defend himself. but george is going to call you and fill you in himself, he wants to tell you the truth and everyone in this family the truth. he did call and basically explain what we know to be the truth now. >> he looked so unemotional, sort of flat. >> he was innocent. >> i know. but to some people, if you falsely accuse me of something, sometimes i get angry. if you accuse me of something i didn't do, i get m. >> we're brothers and i'm a little bit more lively and he's more steady as you go, very responsible, very warm hearted and he, i think that anybody in that situation has to be very careful how they, you know, express themselves in front of the people who are going to decide your fate. >> coming up, alternate juror e-54 telling all about the evidence and his fellow jurors. that's next. also the fbi's message to sanford police, do not give zimmerman his gun back. the latest straight ahead. humans. even whe

he said, the kid's going to grow up in gracie mansion, so i'm going to say, kid, don't complain.plain that daddy got a promotion after treatedi ingtre like crap in public. privilege and power makes it all okay. who are you? he's disgusting. >> what do you think about this, ari? >> here's my thing. we're going to keep talking about this because we're evaluating folks. we've gone beyond should you vote against weiner. i said i'm voting against him for a bunch of reasons. we're now in this place where you have political leaks and the media establishment actually trying to short circuit the race, literally. you have "the new york times," which has power, "the new york daily news" editorializing. i wrote a piece. nice of them to publish a countering view. >> speaking of egos. >> and the "the new york post," which is a huge tabloid, is trying to dip in and drive him out of the race. we've seen this before. we've seen it with spitzer. i think that is really wrong. i think you have to let this play out. the idea that however disgusting this is, and people have every right to hold it agai

a problem that not even the city that never sleeps could really be willing to put in gracie mansion. nbc's kelly o'donnell is covering this story for us tonight. we're also joined by joan walsh, the editor of salon. and jim warren of the new york daily news. thank you, all. i want all of your views. in his press conference late today, and it was just about an hour ago, weiner said he was not withdrawing for the mayor's race, telling throngs of reporters that his past was behind him. he spoke about the timeline in which he engaged in that second round of inappropriate behavior. let's listen. >> now some have asked the question where does this fit in, some timeline, some timeline of the continuum of the resignation, the resignation was not a point in time that was nearly as important to my wife and me as the challenges in our marriages and working through them. some of these 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. >> jim warren, in the universe of this f

or if elected, can he be in the basement of gracie mansion where the mayor lives in new york, sending out nude pictures to women online? would he keep it up? why would you believe he wouldn't? we wanted to find out what those drives were. dr. jennifer berman is a psychotherapist and sexual health expert and dr. sheri, she goes by dr. sheri, dr. sheri blake is a clinical psychologist. but both for joining us. this is a strange topic, and i mean strange because i don't get it. i mean action i get sex, like we all do. we get it. male and female, gay and straight, and other possibilities, but we get it. it has to do with sex. dr. jennifer, what does it have to do with sex that you go online and someone who's not anywhere near you, you don't know them, you may not even know the sound of their voice and you show them pictures of yourself? what is that and it's not like streaking in a street with a big raincoat opening up where you get the immediate reaction. and i guess that excites the people that do it. what's the excitement in this? and what is the gratification in this, that has been go

and so she's in cahoots with him now in this very now grubby run for gracie mansion. he's the sociopath here. i don't want to put that on her shoulders but i don't have much feeling for either of them. >> john: the only d.c. sex scandal with no actual sex and it is creepy. who's the guy behind the cubicle? michael tomasky special correspondent for "newsweek" and the "daily beast," thank you for joining us once again. >> thanks a lot, john. >> john: up next, exposing the kind of abusive treatment to prison inmates you might associate more with nazi germany and dr. joseph than with modern day california. cenk off air>>> alright in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks! i think the number 1 thing than viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. they know that i'm not bsing them for some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know i'm going to be the first one to call them out. cenk on air>> what's unacceptable is how washington continues to screw the middle class over. cenk off air>>> i don't want

propelled him into gracie mansion with his eyes on the white house.he stakes in new york were much, much higher for the justice department than in boston. >> wow. peter, a final question here with a little time. what do we draw as the lessons here? obviously, you need informants like you knee spie -- need spie. yet people walk away from this reporting thinking how do we get in so deep on the law enforcement side with criminals. >> here's the big take aiway. i've done three books prior to this on counterterrorism failures. the bureau was so obsessed forever bothering italians. the number one priority of the new york office was to get john gotti. they took their eye off this me it's a sizing cell. that cell executed the 9/11 plot. finally the southern district superseded the indictment. where was the bureau all those years? forever bothering italians. obsessed with the mafia when the equities were so unbalanced. >> peter, fascinating stuff. fascinating book. congratulations on that. thank you for being here. up next, hot off the presses, a big announcem

>> he was on the phone with gracie, our little sister.was not yet able to process everything that happened. freedom is a brand-new knowing to him. he's been confined not just by an ankle bracelet but psychologically and emotion alley confined to that courtroom every day seeing people trying to put him in prison for the rest of his life. when that's gone and you are in essence a free man and they cut that ankle bracelet off your ankle and the judge says you have no further business before the court, it's very jarring. bill: juror b37 said the mistake your brother made is getting out of the car. >> i think she said both are responsible in what happened. bill: she said the mistake she believes he made was getting out of the car that night. >> that's her opinion and that's definitely -- i'm glad she did not equate that to a murder or manslaughter. i have seen the rest of the thing she said. i think of the most important thing and most telling thing is this is not a case about race and race was not a factor in this case. bill: what did you thi

and do you have the judgment to be in gracy mansion? we asked new yorkers ourselves. does it bother you? >> um, no. i mean, a lot of politicians have their issues, and i just -- i think this one we can put behind us. >> i think it's kind of creepy. i don't think i would want that as my mayor. >> reporter: one open question is what did weiner's wife really know about his relapse into sexting a year ago, a year after resigning from congress. a source close to humana said she found hout in the fall, she was furious, that's it, this time i'm leaving, but after a bit of time she obviously reconsidered, and the reason is because of their young son. they have an 18-month-old who was not even a years old at the time and decided this was an important decide to make to staying together for the sake of the family, carol. >> dana bash reporting live for us this morning. >>> the drama continues in moscow. americas's secretary of state on the phone with russian officials trying to get russia to not grant a temporary visa. still it could just be a few pieces of paper and he could be

they thought that would be the easiest way to win and head to gracie mansion.hing to keep in mind is that some of the polls that showed him doing okay considering were not of likely voters, but general voters. there's a big difference when you look at likely voters and the general electorate. >>> coming up, we're just learning about trayvon martin's father, speaking right now on capitol hill. we will take you there live, next. vo: getting your car serviced at meineke, smart. saving time by booking an appointment online, even smarter. online scheduling. available now at meineke.com. >>> want to get you straight to capitol hill to the father of trayvon martin who was shot and killed last february. this is his father, tracy martin. he is speaking at the first meeting, inaugural meeting of the black caucus of black men and boys. let's listen. >> first of all, i'd like to thank the members of congress for having me here today. it's certainly an honor and a pleasure. not only to me, but to my family as well. to the martin family, to the fulton family. this definitely

he joked first of all the kid is going to grow up in gracie mansion so i'm going to say, kid, don't complain a new poll has a majority of democratic primary voters wanting him to get out. another democrat running for redemption, eliot spitzer agrees. >> he shouldn't be mayor of new york. >> that's correct. >> reporter: weiner has now fallen to 4th place. the clintons view him as the son in law you would never want in the family. they're not asking huma to get him out. but he made it clear last night he doesn't care what the clintons think. matt. >>> thank you very much. we're learning more about a jewel heist that's now the largest in french history. the estimated value ballooning to $135 million. michelle kosinski is in cannes with new details on this. good morning to you. >>> this actually might be the largest ever in the world and it makes you wonder where is that spectacular pile of jewels sitting or moving right now? and how could one gunman on foot just disappear? but you know what, police sources aren't convinced he acted completely alone and some experts think it does bare a few hall
