downtown, the hip toronto attorney or money guy. there s a divide between those two people. i think that shows the difference between the support network that he s enjoying from the suburban voter. he is a progressive conservative which sounds like an oxymoron down here. he s a conservative, the kind of guy who says i m going to go downtown and teach those tax and spend liberals a thing or two. he attacks the 5 cent tax on plastic bags or promises we ll end the war on cars and gets subways back to the cities, let you drive your truck. if you want to drive your truck downtown, you can do that. it struck a cord. there are parallels. there are parallels between the party in 2010 with a simple message that washington is broken. this guy ran on the message that toronto is broken. it struck a chord. he was the right guy at the right time. they had over 100 debates and town halls when he ran for
ceremony. take a listen. i would like to invite to the podium mayor rob ford. i don t know what you make of that, it wasn t rousing applause. some are calling for his resignation. ford himself saying i m not going anywhere, guaranteed. that s his quote. we sent one of our best up to find out what s going on. mr. bill weir. great to have you. this is cnn. welcome to not only cnn but new day. talk about a guy that needs new ideas. what did you see? what a story, right? i only smoke crack when i m hammered is going to be studied in political science courses for years. what this guy has pulled off, how he got into office, it was so fascinating to me and scandal after scandal, we went back, we
precheck. it s changed my life. yes. one minute and you re through. what is it? you apply and you get a five-year opportunity with a background check and fingerprinting to go through this expedited security screening where you don t have to take out your liquids. keep your jacket on, everything else. you can do it for global entry or now anybody can apply to tsa precheck. it s 85 bucks to apply last five years. are there any people that just won t make it through? i mean yes. talk about that. i d say maybe you but i m not sure. you saw me looking sideways at you. i saw that. we can rest assured that the people do get screened really are not a concern? correct. i fly every week. why should i go through the same rigmarole that the guy who flaz once every two or three years on a one-way ticket with no luggage. i m in precheck. do you get it every single time? no. they scan your boarding pass and you may not get it one time and
mayor. he got 47% in a three-way race. he did well. do you think he is going to weather the storm? what s your sense? it all comes down to what the police have next. they have been surveiling his drive enand best buddies for six months. there s really suspicious activity. the day that ford came out and addressed the crack allegations for the first time he called this guy 19 times. he called him over 700 times in the six months. he s convicted of threatening his girlfriend but he s now indicted on trafficking marijuana, threatening people to try to get that video back. maybe even bribing them with drugs. he s messed up with some really sketchy characters. if they pull him into a conviction, that s really the only legal way they have to get him out thereof. otherwise he d have to step down. even if they support him, if the guy has a problem, they should
want to understand how he got there. he was scandal prone during the campaign and every time something came out, his numbers went up. and he has so much support now, despite all thesed amissions and fresh suspicions that more videos could be coming out. we just is had to understand why. this is a good example of why. let me take you inside the mind of the rob ford supporter. we were up there on thursday when this video came out, courtesy of the toronto star. they paid five grand for this. he is incoherently ranting about stripping down to his underwear, killing some guy and ripping his eye balls out. detractors say this is further proof we need to throw a net over this guy and get him to rehab. he doesn t say anything that s incriminating. he could be talking about a guy who beat him in cards or a rival football coach. a lot of people think you know what, that s what my buddies sound like when they ve had a couple of moosehead laggers. if one of my buddies took secret
