fox news commentator kirsten powers decided to write an explosive piece about weiner for the daily beastins me in mstudio. >> good to be here. >> you were in touch with anthony weiner by e-mail. what did he tell you? >> that the allegations weren't true, he did not contact her, he had hired a lawyer and that they were very close to figuring out who actually did send the picture. >> the college student who we first heard about. >> right. it wasn't just that he didn't do it, it was that they were just about to figure out who did to it. >> based on that, you went on fox news, sean hannity's show, and this is some of what you said. >> all right. he said he doesn't know if it's him or not. >> he says he didn't send it. really to put him on that list of a bunch of people who cheated on their wives -- >> doesn't he sound guilty in. >> no. he's not guilty. the point is he didn't send it. he said he didn't send it. >> how does he not know -- >> they also asked you to talk to "the new york post." were you 100% sure at that time that he was telling you the truth? >> yes. i would never, ever have go

kirsten powers. and charle charles krauthammer. >> the first problem with this is he cites at the press conference the idea what we are seeing in may is basically the gas prices are the most prominent head wind. that is the way he put it. but if that is the case, the numbers don't bear him out. it may put the best month in terms of gas prices from january through april, you saw gas prices successively rise and some cases spike in february, average gas price rose 40 cents. gas prices around the country. you had strong unemployment numbers. 200,000 jobs added per month in the time period. in may, however, you saw the gas prices decrease by 20 cents a gallon. you have 54,000 jobs added. the numbers don't add up. he is not identifying with people. that he took shots at him for doing this and then he called at it blip. he is talking about this like it's professor, talking about the jobs like theoretical instead of a practical way that people live their lives. that is part of what we are seeing in the poll

kirsten powers joins us. good evening. two quick questions how know him and should he stick around? i've been friends with him for about 10 years. we dated very briefly then we became friends. we were friends for a long time. i haven't talked to him as much lately. but he was always a very, very good friend to me this is very painful to watch. >> greta: should he stay or should he step down or maybe even finish out his term and not run again? what is the standard we hold him to? does he get the same standard as republicans get? >> i have a standard that i stick to for everybody. people can pull the tape from governor sanford and i will say the same about anthony and his situation. it is between him and his wife. this is not -- have anything to do with his official capacity. he has not broken any laws. he's apologetic. what he did obviously was wrong. no, i don't think he should resign. i didn't think governor sanford should resign. he's a great con man. his constituents love him. it is up to them to -- to have him back. >> greta: you said his wife, i was thinking along the lines of

so thank you, kirsten, for all your work. and it's really exciting to see that we've come so far. and getting us to move along. and ms. dennis, too, thank you. commissioner moore. commissioner moore: i want to make a quick comment on the small car. and not that you can mandate that people have small cars. but in europe, there are parking spaces that are dedicated for two smart cars being next to each other and they pay half. in public garages there are parking spaces where two cars, two smart cars, exactly fits the size of a full car. so they pay half. so if you have a monthly thing, and you're renting half a pace, and your monthly parking space just cost you half. and that's an incentive for many people who would like to have a car and many small cars are as comfortable and fast and releeble as the bigger ones there. and that's for many urban dwellers a very good alternative. so there's nothing unral stick. it's being done and -- in europe for many years and at night, everyone is rushing to the opera and needs to get in there in time before the kur taken calls and they're coming

henderson our kirsten what they've already said. i did this the last time i was hear. i just want to read d vision statement from the market octavia plan which is really the basis -- basic idea of this plan. if you'll bear with me. envision an urban neighborhood that provides for a mix of people of various ages incomes and lifestyles, a place where every day needs can be met on a short walk on a system of public streets that are are easy and safe to get around on foot, bicycle and by public transportation. imagine a plan connected to a city as whole where owning a car is a choice not a necessity and streets are inviting public bliss spaces. i think this sort of drives our focus here when we talk about affordability we're talking about a neighborhood that is inclusionary of all different types of people and this is a very important component of -- of the market octavia plan to make this plan work. and then the transportation. we talk about parking. this is also very, very important. we've said for many years, we welcome new residence in our neighborhood but when they br

thanks to kirsten mccauley, les from my office for organizing. this we will be around for a few more minutes but thank you for coming out, everyone. within our population there are people who simply do not have access to the internet, who do not have the means to access information the way that others have, and i think that it's really imperative for government to make sure that we play a role in closing that technological divide. so you have to strike that balance between maintaining that character, but also welcoming in the new people who bring their own -- >> absolutely. >> so i love that. i love that mix, that balance that comes with it. it's hard to strike the right balance, but -- >> it really is. >> but it's there. >> i was born in guatemala and came to this country as a kid. i was brought here by my parents. and essentially grew up in l.a. and then moved up to the bay area, where i went to college. i went to stanford. my background for the first few years out of school was a practicing attorney. i worked for -- in the private sector for a

"new york post" columnist, kirsten powers. bill kristol of "the weekly standard."ews political analyst, juan williams. the house, i think it's fair to say, sent a mixed message this week. on the one hand refusing to authorize the u.s. operation in libya. but on the other hand, refusing to cut off some offenseive funds for offensive operations in libya. brit, what is the message to the president? >> the message to the president is he can keep on doing what he is doing and the most conservative body of congress, that being the house, is not going to stop him in the way that would be most effective, which would be cutting off the money. the other vote is kind of a resolution of disapproval. it doesn't really carry much force. it should be a warning to the president that what he is doing in libya is unpopular. and that there is no real constituency for it. and there are all kinds of reasons for that which we can discuss or not. >> chris: i mean it seems one of the message to president is you better get out of there soon, because patience is wearing thin. >> public appr
