christine quinn has brought her wife recently. we will see some recent -- some discussions about those issues. >> michael bloomberg, will he endorse anyone? >> that is unclear at this point. it is assumed that christine tacit support. he had a little bit of a wandering eye. he joked that hillary clinton should run for mayor. his endorsement would not help any of the candidates in the democratic primary. in the general election, it might. >> kate taylor joining us from new york. her byline can be seen tomorrow morning and "the new york times> s." take you live to new york city and a live simulcast of the democratic mayoral debate . seven candidate participating and the primary is set for tuesday, september 10. you can watch this debate online at any time at www.c-span.org. we >> good evening and welcome to debate formocratic new york mayor. we are joined by 1000 new yorkers and i have my panelists.

quinn? quinn: thank you. you know, my entire career i have fought and delivered for new yorkers, fought to help people get into the middle class and stay there. and that's what i'm going to do as mayor. i'm going to fight to improve our schools, to give every child the best shot they can have. i'm going to keep in the safest big city this america, because that's key, but i'm going to do it while also ending unconstitutional stop and terrorist being. i'm going to use the power of our neighborhoods for economic development to bring good jobs to every neighborhood, particularly those neighborhoods that have been left behind. and i'm going to take head on the affordability crisis, because we're not going to be a home for the middle class if people can't find homes and apartments they can afford. so i'm going to make sure we build new, affordable housing, improve the housing authority and get new york city power over its own rent laws. we are the greatest city in the world, but we can be even greater when we creat

quinn? out the potential that you might have to raise taxes if you're mayor. and if we have to raise taxes, i'm going to do that progressively. i supported the governor and the state's call when they put the millionaires' tax in place, and if we have to do that, if we can't find the resources within our budget to get what we need, we'll go fight for more progressive taxes. let me tell you one thing i'm going to do regardless, right now in new york city people who pay the lowest income, we're one of the only places in the country they still pay a personal income tax. that's insane, to be taking money like that from the lowest income new yorkers. i'm going to push for legislation in albany to change that. but the key to really addressing income inequality is in addition to education, to create the opportunity for a pathway into more good, middle class jobs, and let me give you one example. right now we have companies in the south bronx and in queens that retrofit trucks to make them nonpolluti

the group has raised over $1 million to elect anybody but, well, quinn. >> quinn failed to keep the hospital open. >> is he seems to be another bloomberg real estate pawn. >> she has a bad record of protecting animals in the city. >> she's the same as mayor bloomberg. >> i want someone different. someone who will represent the people. >> michael: she closes hospitals, and she doesn't like animals. we have kelli goff. thanks as always for being with us, kelli. >> it's great to be here. >> michael: quinn is the second most powerful woman in new york city, why is she not running away with this race? >> a lot of people don't fell she's moving away from policies from the most important person, and a lot of rallying cries from her opponents is that she would be the fourth bloomberg term. >> michael: tell me about that. give me a feel for what bloomberg' popularity is like in new york right now. he's gone from wavering popularity, but i know democrats in new york who actually like bloomberg and on balance he's a good mayor. why is it that she can be so close to someone who has won three times. >> i

quinn? >> thank you. my entire career, i have fought and delivered for new yorkers, fighting to help people get to the middle class and stay there, and that is what i am going to do as mayor. i am going to fight to give them the best shot they have. i am going to keep this the safest large city in america, and i am going to do it while ending unconstitutional stop and frisk. i am going to use the power of our neighborhoods for economic development to bring good jobs in every neighborhood, particularly those neighborhoods that have been left behind. i am going to take head on the affordability crisis. people cannot find homes and apartments they can't afford, so i am going to make sure we build more affordable housing, improve the housing authority, and get new york city over its own rent law. we are the greatest city of the world, and we can be even greater when we create more opportunity for folks to move into the middle class. that is what i have done my entire career, delivered for new york, and that i

protesting the issuance on may 16, 2013, to emily & aaron quinn, permit to alter a building (new one-story addition at front of building with new terrace at 2nd floor; renovation of 1st floor bathroom; renovation of exterior landscaping, stairs and entry; no changes to north and west elevations). application no. 2012/02/23/4735. for hearing today >> good morning my name is (inaudible) and i represent peters who live in the property adjacent and i want to express the support of the project because it will be a terrific improvement to the property and this neighborhood. >> it is 6 feet above the grade of mr. peter's property and supported by the region that runs along the northern property line of mr. peter's property. mr. peter's filed this appeal because he knew that the building and the department and the supplying department and all of the permit holders have addressed mr. peter's questions regarding the impact of the project on his retaining foundation wall. it outlines the project and does not address the reviews of mr. peter's retaining wall and foundation. and in fact, the plan was e

it may be because of his stance on stop-and-frisk, 34% support de blasio, 22% support quinn.e now, former nypd captain and the author of "the crime numbers game." and msnbc's joy reid. john, could you tell us what the nypd's rationale is for stop-and-frisk and what is left of it now after this federal court ruling? >> well, certainly, their rationale behind this case really is they feel it is bringing down crime. that is the key to the entire thing is stopping violence. but unfortunately, their position on this is totally misguided. they're completely wrong, and all the statistics indicate they're wrong on this, and why they continue to push this is just untenable. there is just no reason for them to continue. in 2002, when police commissioner kelly came into office, crime was already down 63%. so to claim that somehow a 600% increase in stop-and-frisk is causing a crime decrease is just lunacy. it is just completely wrong. >> and john, the nypd became a statistics-driven department over the last several years on everything. and under bill bratten, had he was running it. and

thank you so much. >> thanks, john. >> (cheers and applause) >> colin quinn.ioning sponsored by comedy central captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >> that's our show, thank you for watching and or listening. my sendoff show episode 12 is on tomorrow night, on comedy central. we'll be here all next week. please join us. here it is, your moment of zen. >> once i got the opportunity, i was in business. so kids i want to you listen up.

our guests tonight here to discuss his one man show unconstitutional colin quinn is going to be here. (cheers and applause) very funny man. but we start tonight with our love affair with fast food. well, not some of a love affair as an unhealthy one way relationship with something that is trying to kill us. (laughter) but lately that relationship has become a bit more strained. >> a nationwide push workers calling for a much higher minimum wage. >> workers at mcdonald's, wendiesing domino pizza and more will walk off the job today. here's what they're asking for. the right to unionize and an increase in wages from $7.50 an hour to $15 an hour. >> make our wages supersized. (cheers and applause) >> yes, yes. corporations be less greedy, give our wallets diabetes! yeah, yeah. if you want my-- [bleep] your happy meal. yes. look. this is clearly a complicated issue. and there are obviously economic consequences to any action and reasonable people can disagree on how to help low income families whether it's with wages, tax cuts or golden tickets that may or may not lead to future ownership

thank you so much. >> thanks, john. >> (cheers and applause) >> colin quinn.

the only difference between speaker quinn and de blasio is speaker quinn has been more successful.> joining us now mayoral candidate bill de blasio, have you gotten over it? >> i've gotten over it. >> he's become the new front-runner in the democratic nomination. that's good news. >> i attribute it to my last appearance on "morning joe." the "morning joe bounce." >> we hear that happens with books. maybe it happens with mayors as well. what do you think defines the race? who is going to be your biggest challenger? >> the issue is going to be the question about the quality and the fact that new york city has increasingly become a place riddled with disparity. who will be the most obvious challenger? today it could be christine quinn but that could change. >> when you talk about disparity and the need for equality, does the stop & frisk ruling play into that? >> absolutely. the sharpest disspart has been two different approaches to policing, depending on what downtown you live in and the judges ruling put a very, very fiend point on the issue. the judge said what what we've been doin

laser point measurement and then there was information that in a letter to the quinn's counsel and that is attached as exhibit m. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> we can hear from the permit holder. >> vice president, lazarus. members of the board, denny shanaher for the permit holders, this is a small project, 186 gross square feet and there is minimal to no excavation work that is a part of this project. the addition is at grade, there are three hand dug piers two feet by three feet that are going to be installed to support an on grade stairwell at the south side of the property. and that is the extent really the of excavation that would potentially have any impact on the appellant's wall. and we don't think and there is no evidence or indication to us that that or those three hand-dug holes for the three piers will have any impact on the walls. we do have a structural engineer, for the project here, if you would like to speak or hear from him and we do have the project architect here as well. and we have been very respectful of the concerns of the apell apartment over the process

city council speaker christine quinn fell to second place.ony weiner, who once led all of his rivals, he's now only at 10%. with just four weeks left, the gloves were off last night. >> i've owned up to my personal failings, but i have a record i'm proud of, and i'm going to be honest with the citizens of the city. that's not something the speaker can claim. >> i think it's very clear to all new yorkers that neither me nor anybody else on this stage or any new yorker quite frankly should be lectured by anthony weiner about what we need to apologize for tonight or ever. >> i've made very clear that mr. weiner should step aside for the good of the city. we need a debate on the issues. >> "new york times" reporter kate taylor joins me live to talk about that. weiner was the punching bag last night. he definitely got a lot of jabs, especially when he would try to come out strong. as we saw, kate, just last month, the polls looked really different. de blasio was trailing quin. now he's 30% of that. things have flipped. what do you make of him bein

. >> that was former new york city mayoral front-runner christine quinn keeping her eyes on the prizete big and the democrats are going to be casting their primary vote fast approaching. many pros noft kagnosticators d expect her to be looking up at the polls in the race. joining us now for our daily fix, chris cillizza and co-post of in play -- you shufting between places. national political correspondent karen tumulty is in studio. now that the spotlight is finally off of anthony weiner at least for the moment, michael bloomberg, has relationship to speaker quinn, the connection the two of them had, the various policies, give us a sense of her campaign at this time and what you really think the conversation is behind the scenes? >> you've hit on it. i think the biggest problem here is that chris quinn is seen by many democrats as essentially a fourth term of michael bloomberg. he is not someone who's all that popular in a democratic primary and being seen as kind of his pick doesn't help you. i think if you're chris quinn you have to be concerned that you've started this race as the

. >> let's look at jack quinn and ed gillespie. >> jack quinn is the white house counsel under bill clinton. he went onto cable a lot and defended the president during a lot of his campaign finance problems during his two terms. he met ed gillespie, who was then a republican operative in green rooms. they had this green room friendship. people become friends. and in ed and jack's case, they went into business together. they started quinn gillespie, the first real major sort of bipartisan lobbying firm. >> one-stop lobbying. >> one-stop lobbying. you want to deal with republicans, you want to get to republicans, you go here. you want to get to democrats, you go here. they founded them so they -- their firm's founded in 2000. jack quinn got into some trouble in 2001 after he successfully lobbied bill clinton to pardon his law client, marc rich. >> fugitive. >> fugitive marc rich. there was a big to-do then. jack was big-time in the barrel. he's hauled before congress. he feels like he's being looked at in restaurants. and ed gillespie said, "look, jack, in a few months everyone's going to for

. >>> the front-runner in the campaign for mayor of new york, christine quinn received the endorsementluke. >> i've watched her leadership ainge i know she's someone who is going to champion the communities i care about. these going to stand up for women's rights. she's going to stand up for gay rights. she has the experience. she has the leadership and when it comes down to it she has the seriousness and maturity to handle the office of mayor of new york. >> anthony weiner struggled with a new problem in the campaign today after an angry encounter with one of the lesser known candidates in the race, george mcdonald. >> there you go. i heard what you said. don't put your hands on me again. >> keep your hands off me. i heard what you said. >> don't put your hands me ever again. >> what is he going to happen. are you going to get tough? >> yeah, yeah, i am. >> joining me is hunter walker, reporter for talking points memo covering the new york mayoral race. hunter, so there's anthony weiner angrily calling mcdonald grandpa using it as an epithets. he's 69 years old, i believe the sitting

. >>> also an exclusive interview with new york mayoral candidate christine quinn. we'll ask her about the debate with anthony weiner and a bunch of other stuff. joined the table the reverend al sharpton will be here, chris hayes, john meacham, sam stein. >> wasn't that great how nimble he was on set to pull back and take his bow. >> thanks for that. >> willie's making fun of my fan. that's my number one fan other than my mother. yes. we're going to be back with much more -- >> why? >> because it's hot up in here. >> you want to make your hair look nice. >> we're back after this. when you realize you need to switch to verizon, it's a reality check. i had my reality check when i'd be sitting there with my friends who had their verizon phones and i'd be sitting there like "mine's still loading!" i couldn't get email. i couldn't stream movies. i couldn't upload any of our music. that's when i decided to switch. now that i'm on verizon, everything moves fast. with verizon, i have that reliability. i'm completely happy with verizon. verizon's 4g lte is the most reliable

in a runoff deblasio easily defeats christine quinn. deblasio appears to be benefiting of the recent rulings of the city's stop and frisk policy. we'll have more on the race of mayor when bill deblasio joins us on the set of "morning joe." >>> federal government looking to block the merger of united and u.s. ashws airways. the department has approved three other airline mergers since 2008. in a joint statement both arlts are vowing to fight the government and they're going to fight the court. blocking this pro-competitive merger will deny customers access to a broader airline network that gives them more choices. >>> all right, to business where the markets still reacting to every single word from the federal reserve when and if they'll start winding down their bond-boying program. the big news on the day was apple which saw its stock surges on a single tweet from a prominent billionaire activist investor. let's check in london. mr. icahn strikes again. >> absolutely. this is phenomenal. he added $13 billion on the day to the value of a

even between quinn and d de blasio. should we brace for any more surprises before the primary? >> absolutely. one really interesting thing in this poll was that none of the leading candidates, those being quinn, de blasio and thompson had a majority of their supporters saying they were firmly committed to voting for that candidate. so we're going to see these numbers move a lot more. right now you're seeing d de blasio doing really well. i think that's reflecting a lot of frustration with bloomberg's issues, including stop and frisk where we saw a very critical court ruling this week. thompson may still have room to grow right now. he's tied with de blasio with black voters or leading with a plurality of 40%. they think more black voters may support thompson. >> what's more striking about this is if the two of them are 24, 24, that means there's 52 percentage points still out there that are up for grabs. obviously that's got to be the consideration for these candidates. how do we find a strategy that opens ourselves up to the others? >> right. first of all, i think when you kno

christine quinn falls to second place with 24%. and anthony weiner is last. they held their first televised debate. weiner faced off with christine quinn. >> i will be honest with the people. >> any new yorker quite frankly should be lectured by anthony weiner what we need to apologize for tonight or ever. >> another candidate john liu is posing that new york legalize marijuana. in detroit billboards paid by the city urged citizens to vote on september 2nd. but voting day is actually in october. candidates with more twitter mentions than their opponent won 404 of the 406 elections. it didn't matter if the twitter mentions were positive or negative. >>> actress jennifer garner seems optimistic about her husband ben affleck's future in politics. she tells "people" magazine that she wouldn't be surprise to see him go into politics. >>> first lady michelle obama is releasing a rap cd. michelle obama unfortunately does not sing on the album. that's your morning's dish of scrambled politics. >>> for the weather i'm joined by bill karins. >>> this morning, hope wind

stuart: christine quinn at 21%. he is 15% ahead of christine quinn.ly candidate that would maintain school choice, charter schools. the only one and she is losing badly. bill de blasio would reverse all the progress. >liz: the fact remains the population role, and they have studied this seriously see the roles of the upper bracket leave since the early 80s and those are the ones who create jobs. christine quinn wants to create jobs with small businesses. charter schools taking empty buildings getting kids in the bronx and harlem and the buildings to get bonuses. teachers actually like it. my niece is a teacher of a charter school in new york city. stuart: tell her to vote in this election, please. connell, it is yours. connell: thank you very much. things are wrapping up overseas with the u.s. sending a fifth destroyer to the mediterranean. after russia said it was sending ships to the region. we will retaliate, that is what is coming in from the syrian government today, the regime and allies, namely iran, as they wait to see what the u.s. will do. th

you're actually going to have quinn on today. >> we have christine quinn on at 11:00 a.m.. you had her on yesterday. >> she wouldn't answer my question. >> about the animal stuff? >> the first thing i asked was -- i figured she didn't want to talk about anthony weiner so what are we going to do. i started off by asking her if anthony weiner were a tree, what kind of tree would he be. got some great responses on twitter which i can't repeat. >> we'll check out your twitter feed. so we can look at them. we have her at 11:00. as the governor points out, bill de blasio is, you know, right now a very interesting guy. kind of catching fire at the right time because of stop and frisk has taken a lot the oxygen out of the room and brought that up to be a very pivotal part of the campaign for christine quinn. she stands in the shadows of bloomberg. but bill de blasio is getting credit for how he talks about the stop and frirvsk. then his son daunte appears in this ad. his kids would be primary targets for something like this. for looking suspicious or being a minority. this resonat

. >> he wants to do that for candidate christine quinn.appy being just with himself. listen. let's start with the news that you made about your endorsement of christine quinn for mayor of new york. >> she has an extraordinary vision for the city and simply wants it to continue to ascend and get better. when it comes down to it, the issues that the city faces are always going to be changing, so it's a matter of what qualities of character does the person leading the city possess to help make efficacious, viable, correct decisions. >> and you've spoken about qualities of character and that's something that comes up with the conversation of anthony weiner and his run for mayor. do you think that possibly is his achilles' heel? >> well, no doubt. i mean, if all issues aside if we're simply talking about qualities of character, i believe that there are some profound qualities missing in mr. weiner, and i as a citizen of this city would not trust his decision making. going back to christine quinn's candidacy for mayor of new york, first woman an

>> caller: i don't like quinn.things politically that i don't like that she has done via bloomberg, and shutting down st. vincent's hospital. >> i don't like that either. >> caller: but everyone is so happy to talk about the sex-plotatons of the weiner man, and then we'll be stuck with quinn. >> well, i'm amazing that carlos danger can vote to authorize the iraq war, but people are upset about his sex habits? dean obediallah and i were on the other night talking about his long history of anti-palestinian comments. he has done a lot of good things. i love the way he fought for single-payer health care, it turns out he was only doing it to get nancy pelosi to give him a good speaking spot at the convention. >> i like martha quinn. she's cute. >> stephanie: that's a different quinn. >> new yorkers will forgive a sinner, but they won't forgive a serial bs artist. >> stephanie: yeah. speaking of serial bs artists, for some reason yesterday watching the aerial castro thing. i don't remember somebody getting to talk that

christine quinn in new york.i were watching on the monitors, anthony weiner at the parade making a fool of himself yet again. but christine quinn may not be getting as much media attention, but she's head of the pack. >> yes, yes, she is. i think as the fever of summer breaks, voters are going to tune in to substance. we saw a poll out this morning that voters in new york are absolutely sick of the weiner-spitzer circus happening in their race. they want to talk about issues. new york city, those are smart, engaged, informed voters, and they want to talk about the real candidates. so i think that as we get closer to the run-off date september 10th, and we get past labor day christine quinn is in an excellent position. she's leading the pack. she's leading in the polls, and i think she offers such a clear choice to these guys who are clearly in it for personal ambition, self aggrandizement and see themselves in the paper. christine has been working on behalf of new york city often in total anonymity when she was w

and speaking of quinn and the extraordinary decision to suspend lawmaker pay speaker madigan weighed they are suing the governor but the cook county judge hearing the case said oral arguments for late september. i would have appreciated a quicker schedule. at chicago's union league club in a closed door meeting with real-estate appraisers michael madigan defended himself against accusations of patronage. former metra ceo said he was forced out after demands from the speaker. public statements that alex clifford made to the regional board, testimony that clipper did not feel threatened b hous speaker mike madigan. this is what he testified and you can't see that on several occasions he said there was no pressure put upon him by anybodyby failure to get a agreement on pension reforms, dragging their feet on a comprehensive pension reform. let me say that we have been working on pension reform since 2010. in 2010 we passed legislation that passed in ... benefits as for lisa madigan and her comments a spokesman for the attorney general office says that she will not comment. chicago publi

quinn at 25, and the others at 14 a piece. this is a poll that i don't necessarily believe.think this has to do with people getting familiar with these candidates for the first time. up until recently the only candidate that the average new york city voter had ever heard of was anthony weiner, an they knew more about him than the other candidates. >> michael: people had accept him and maybe they'll end up with deblasio. corey booker is a heavy favorite. if you're chris christie, is this election worth $25 million? >> we'll see. i mean the whole theory that chris christie was going to have been an election in the middle of august so more democrats would not turn out to vote against him. i think it's worth it to him. is it worth to the taxpayers in new jersey? no, not a chance. but republicans are allowed to waste money when it benefits them. >> michael: absolutely. karl frisch, personally i want to thank you so much for being a regular on this show. you pre-dated me on this show with governor granholm. you and i have visited on "the young turks" very often, but every time you
