mr. weiner got in a shouting match with a voter. he told him among other things mr. texting of lewd photographs of himself ought to disqualify him from office to which mr. weiner responded that this man should not judge him. what this misses, this is exactly what elections are about, voters judging candidates and may explain why mr. weiner is at 7% in the polls today. >> kim, thanks. >> who wasn't inspired by dina nyad swimming 110 miles through shark-infested waters, breaking jelly fish, a 90-minute squall to make it all the way across key west on her fifth try and becoming the first person to do this without a shark cage? inspired everyone from my kids all the way up to people with grayer hair. >> barack obama touts the value of a college education. that is going south. the sensuous bureau reported the number of students enrolling in college dropped the first time since 2006. it was about 500,000 people. i would say given the fact obama's low growth economy is producing unemployment and underemployment in college graduates, these kids unfortunately are probably mak

mr. weiner is the only one who turned in a speaker card. >> thank you. mr. weiner. >> herbert weiner. i'm concerned about the transit effect on this project because basically this project is a zero sum solution. there are no net additions of vehicles to the fleet. now, i understand some new coaches came in service. but i also wonder if coaches were retired from service because they weren't supposedly supposed to be obsolete. these coaches would need to be maintained and that would be an addition to the fleet. there was also a question on the handicap. for instance on the three jackson lines, people are expected to walk from california to presidio avenue to embarcadero street. that is an incline hill. and it also applies to the bus stops on 19th avenue. human impact has not been addressed on this. it's equivalent to dropping a bomb 50,000 feet in the air and not seeing it. this has to be addressed. buses are being taken from the neighborhood. from peter to paul. there should have been more buses and more drivers. stage one has been implemented. i wonder about the internal structure of

mr. weiner? >> herbert weiner, stakeholder. one concern i have is about the inaccuracy of the travel panel at munis bus stops. they don't predict the arrival time. they say they are going to arrive 15 minutes and they arrive 3 minutes later. this happened on the 33 line 2 weeks boo. what is being done to make these panels more accurate? i think it's very important. the other thing is that scott wiener gave it away with the brt matter when he stated that well approval of the vallejo street on the brt, there are other stops that will be, you will have to make that adjustment. that is going to cost a lot of money. the thing about it is you do have a responsibilities to serve the most fragile populations in this city. the thing is that this is being really unnoticed. apparently bicyclist and taxi cab medallions appropriated by the board are favored over mta service. it should be transit worse. you should really start giving transportation priority. i'm really concerned about this and also i don't like the idea -- supposed they were

mr. weiner, you are going to run into these things over and over again in your political life. learn to suck it up and go. it wasn't a nice thing they did. but it happened. >> you got to point out, he did insult his wife and actually made a snide remark about his wife, so i don't blame him for getting ticked off. >> okay. good. >> dana, are we talking about obamacare and the cost of regulation, the american action form put up something i thought was interesting. under obamacare, if you own a restaurant, or a menu, have you to have the calorie, which i think the calorie for each item. i'm not opposed to that. you wonder how they will get the $757 million the cost of regulation. what is wrong with some of these menus? one has a different font for the caloric value. that's a $1,000 fine. can you get a fine for having different background of colors on the menu. you can also, the last thing i love is that you have to list the caloric value of every salad dressing that you have at your restaurant. if it changes, you have to change your penu again, which is insanity. >> this makes per

mr. weiner, a figure who can unite republicans who are more skeptical about -- boehner, a figure who can unite republicans who are more skeptical. many republicans belonging to the tea party mistrust mr. obama completely and do not want to get entangled in overseas action such as this. this may be one way for mr. obama to, now that mr. boehner is backing him, to get support. attention is turning to the senate, which, given that it is dominated by democrats, support is more shored up. if foreign relations and he is taking part this tuesday in washington. secretary john kerry will be among those appearing before the committee, as well as defense secretary chuck hagel. that will be one way for the obama administration to try to convince editors as well as the house that the action in syria is necessary. >> as well as the u.s., france is pushing for military actions against syria. a day after sharing the government's intelligence on recent attacks in damascus, the french president said his entry would wait for that vte by the u.s. congress. if it goes against obama, france will not act aloe.

mr. weiner got in a car and answered the question with his middle finger.ght there. no rush to take that down. joining me, co-hosts of msnbc's "the cycle" -- you will cede your visual time off to the finger. keep the finger up? >> sure, why not? >> torre, dante de blasio, never seen anything like it in political campaigning. amazing. a turning point you could trace? >> yes, a turning point in the race. i loved the ad. it moved me deeply. and you know, i think, especially for the black and brown people in new york, stop and frisk was mate jthe major in the race. to have bill de blasio be the most vociferous. it was personal. he had credibility. he is standing there with his black son. the sort of person who would be stopped and frisked in bloomberg's america. tremendous credibility. it is extraordinary he got over 40% of the black vote when there is a black candidate in the race as well who also got 40%. but to have this black wife and two black kids, beautiful standing beside him, that was very powerful. you know, also to have, may your bloomberg. come out

mr. weiner. >> thank you. >> you told "today" show's savannah guthrie you still believe you have a shot at. you've seen the polls. some of them show you running at 7%. is this realistic? do you believe the polls? >> we'll find out tomorrow. >> what do you do over the next several hours to try to bump up that number. what's your strategy? >> it's the same thing i've done throughout the campaign. combination of meeting as many citizens as possible, talking about issues right up to the very last moment. unlike the other candidates i've been focused on issue driven campaign, two books of ideas, 125 ideas in all creating a single payer health care system in new york is one of the signature things in my proposal and i talked about that. wherever there are three people that need a fourth for bridge, i'll be there today. >> we've noted you have 13 events scheduled today interviews, five of which are national media outlets. can you say you care most about new yorkers? how does this fit into your overall strategy? >> it's the everything in the kitchen sink strategy here at the end. even msnbc made t

mr. weiner and thanks to the issue of race. the latest polls have bill de blasio taking the lead.is on the heels of the current mayor, michael bloomberg, injecting himself into the campaign with an anti-endorsement for de blasio for using his family in this one. in "new york" magazine bloomberg described the de blasio campaign as using class warfare and racist, only to back track and saying he's making an appeal using his family to gain support. i think it's pretty obvious to anyone watching what he has been doing. i do not think he himself is racist. joining me now is new york city council speaker christine quinn and a mayoral candidate as well. it's great to have you here. >> thank you. >> we had an opportunity to talk several times. you were an early front runner in this race. you had the hat trick from the top three new york city newspapers and they remain yours. now polls are indicating you're struggling to potentially make the runoff. do you think that de blasio's campaign, as mayor bloombergin sin waited there, was using class warfare or racism? >> first, let me say i could
