conrvatives toll this to the right wing. we will talk coming up later about that gun vote today. i want to ask you about a poll joe referenced anthony weiner of new york in second place among democrats in this race for new york city mayor. he said in a big magazine piece over the weekend he was going to run. is this about name recognition or does he have a real chance to win this? it s probably most about recognize nix. weiner favor ability, 45. what do you think about weiner for mayor in new york city? i think it s probably too early. whatever you think about weiner and what he did or didn t do, i think to come out at this point after not that much time has passed and a field that is quite crowded already, he does have a lot of money left over from his
important? all of these things is important. the president might have done something like bill clinton did with the comprehensive crime control bill. put together this massive piece of legislation. stuff that conservatives and liberals hated and vice versa. i supported it because it provided a hundred thousand cops, it provided the death penalty restored. liberals supported it because it supplied a lot of money for rehabilitation programs, for improving jails, for cutting down on lengths of stay in jail at times with different kinds of programs. and it got passed. there had to be something in here that republicans who are in place they might get defeated go back and say i voted that but now psychiatrists have to turn in people who had mentally ill like cuomo did in new york. that will be challenged in court and require a psychiatrist to make an evaluation and maybe turn people in. that makes the background checks work. it makes that database a real database instead of a database
we will be right back with much more morning joe. [ male announcer ] this is joe woods first day of work. and his new boss told him two things cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn t know it yet, but he ll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he ll start investing early, he ll find some good people to help guide him, and he ll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn t rocket science. it s just common sense. from td ameritrade.
if that woman is that amazing and she is still with him and she gave him a second chance, i don t know. if you take anthony s strengths and compare it to the rest of the field do a balance sheet and look at the positive side he has a lot of strengths. like what? he is smart. more of a centrist than a lot of people in the democratic primary. he s a fighter and knows how to use the media. if you look at the traits he has and the traits of the last two guys who won this job he has more of the traits than people he is running against. this very long, very prosperous, very successful era of independents and republicans running new york? yes, we are. why? because it s turned this city around. it has. it would be great to have another one but we are done two two reasons. one, nobody like mike bloomberg with the money and with the
that. i was able to bring credibility because i love money and i love shooting and love going out in the woods and all the things that i do with my family and i love all of that. i thought i could bring credibility to it. coming from pennsylvania, we worked with everyone. we worked and brought everybody. all the organizations on board. you know what, i m a lifetime member of the nra. i used to get the magazines and their bulletins and i said my goodness, i m glad they are fighting that. i m against that too. now when they are so disingenuous and tell members that our legislation that they would criminalize the firearms by honest citizens. this bill does not even touch. that s a lie.
