about a thousand to go. in round one. david axelrod clean up on aisle 5. he said he didn't know the server he e-mailed the server. >> more on that tomorrow. welcome to "hannity" we are broadcasting from new hampshire where the newest 2016 republican candidate new jersey governor chris christie finished up a town hall meeting. earlier today he announced he was running for president at his old high school in new jersey. here's how it all went down. >> only in america where someone like me could have the opportunity to seek the highest office the world has to offer. not only can all of us achieve whatever dream we want to

achieve because of the place we live and the opportunities it gives us. but we not only can do it together but we have to do it together. i believe in my heart that i am ready to work with you to restore america to its rightful place in the world. we need a government in washington, d.c. that remembers you went there to work for us not the other way around. we need to fix a broken entitlement system that is bankrupting our country. we need to get our economy growing again. we need to get the government off the back of our people in our businesses with regulation. we need to have strength and decision making and authority back in the oval office. and that is why today i am proud to announce my candidacy for the republican nomination for president of the united states of america. joining me now is the 2016 gop presidential candidate. the great governor of the state of new jersey. good to see you. >> thanks for coming.

>> appreciate it. here is the first question it's a tough one. you are now the 14th person in. >> yep. >> a lot of people running. >> 14 is a really lucky number. >> not 13 that's a good point. >> right. >> this is the biggest job in the world. why do you want to be president? >> because i believe our country needs to have strong decisive leadership. that we have to set the tone inside our country and around the world. i believe i have the skills the abilities and the desire to make it happen. >> you are known -- you just completed a town hall that went on way past its deadline. you're known for lively town halls. let me quote you. get the hell off the beach. you're an idiot. here's a question, i'm serious about. if elected president, do you remain the same person? >> i am the same person. i've always been and i won't change. you know as we all grow and get older, there are little changes

about our personality that happen. if you're a human being you make changes. m the core of who i am will not change. i think the country needs that. we need someone who is going to look them in the eye and tell them the truth even if they don't want to hear it. >> do you agree, do you want somebody blunt? [ applause ] >> let me take you back to 2013. romney lost the election to president obama. you were far and away the leading choice in the polls to be president. you were urged by billionaires to run in 2012. why didn't you run? >> i wasn't ready to be president of the united states. when i made this decision not to run in the fall of 2011 i had been governor of new jersey for 18 months. now, the fact of the matter is that i just was not ready to be president. i knew that in my heart. even though i understood the politics and saw it was an opportunity. i think the presidency is much too serious a thing to just play politics with. i knew in my heart i wasn't

ready and that's why i didn't run. >> you won in 2013 in a landslide. you won a majority of women, a majority of hispanics in your state. recent polls, though mammoth university 26% favorability. dickinson, i think it was 30%. wall street journal says 55% of republicans won't consider voting are for you. between 2013 and 2015 what happened? what do you need to change in the minds of people right now as you begin this race? >> after you're done with a campaign you're never at a higher level than you will be. there are always in a democratic state like mine. we haven't elected a republican to the senate in 4 #2 years. it's a blue as state other than california in america. the fact i'm a conservative republican and my second term is a miracle. the bridge gate situation happened. are relentless pounding from the

media about something i didn't have anything to do with and wasn't responsible for. that hurts you. i collect political capital to spend it. i'm fighting with the unions to try to get greater pension reform. i'm fighting to continue to cut spending in our state. our spending is less today than it was in 08. >> real dollars. >> than in '08. >> the state is still struggling. >> we still have some of the highest taxes in america. i just passed a tax cut for our working families. that's one of the only personal tax cuts i've been able to get passed. i've vetoed tax increases from a democratic legislature. we're struggling because we're more expensive. and you know i've made our government less expensive. but only the legislature can cut taxes. and they just have refused to do it. let me say one other thing about our economy. from 2001 to 2009 when the democrats were fully in charge we had zero net private sector

job growth in eight years. in 2010 to 2015 we have now grown 198,000 private sector jobs. we took a basket case and made it better. >> you lost government jobs. >> sure. state government alone we're down over 9,000 jobs since i've been governor. >> you mentioned bridge gate. i want to ask you about this. i do believe it impacted your polls. there's no evidence that ties you to this. everybody in the media has looked at it. they thought they had you. 50% recently polled still think you might have had something to do with t.it. what is your answer to them to the doubters in spite of no evidence. what do you say to those people in the polls that think you're involved? >> first of all, there's been three independent

investigations. a democratic legislature, you know they would love to nail me. and the u.s. attorney's office by the way under control of the democrats and president obama. and i've been cleared all three times. so you know you need to listen to the facts at some point. it's my job to put the facts out there. secondly too, it shows you the power of the liberal media. you know the folks at msnbc "new york times" and thought they had me. they can't live with the fact i'm innocent. that i didn't do anything wrong. it's a powerful thing to be under the scrutiny of the media. and remember when this all happened as you mentioned earlier, i was prohibitive front runner for the republican nomination for president. they wanted to take me down. >> i think this went on some cable networks for at least four months. >> it did. >> let me ask you, you mentioned you're a conservative republican. i want to a about this. 40% of iowa caucus voters think you're too moderate. are you moderate? are you a conservative? >> i'm a conservative. i've always described myself as

conservative. let's talk about the facts rather than impression. the impression is from i'm from the northeast like you are. there's an impression -- >> why did you tell them about me? >> i had to out you. >> they pay no state income tax. now sales tax in new hampshire. >> live free or die. >> amazing. >> it is. here's the thing, i'm the first prolife governor since roe versus wade. veto planned parenthood for the sixth time out of the budget in new jersey. and stood proudly as a prolife governor which we've never had before. second spending is down. $2.5 billion over where it was in fiscal year '08. we have cut $2.3 billion in business taxes. and helped to create 198,000 new jobs. we have the first ten year reform in 105 years in new jersey if a teacher get a failing valgdsevaluation year they can be fired fighting against

the unions to do that. pension and benefit reform has led to $124 billion in savings over the next 30 years. sounds like a conservative record. that's the record i've had in new jersey and i'm proud of it. >> this is the toughest question i have to ask you. it's about new jersey and the economy. new jersey since you've been governor has had nine downgrades by financial surfaces likeervices like moody's. you can see the down grade coming. what would your answer be? >> i have inherited a basket case. all of this is about the pension situation. and i've said we've got to fix the pension situation. we have one round of pension reform. now we're going to have the second one. i'm working at it. the unions don't want to do it and the democrats don't. >> there is no government lasting solution to the problems in new jersey. you do have a democratic slairts

legislature. >> yes. >> if they don't go along we just watched greece go bankrupt. people can't take money out of the atm. you mentioned in your speech, they have anxiety about economy? everybody worried? i guess the question becomes how do you solve it if you can't get them to go along with you. >> you do everything you can and we've done a lot by capping property taxes in new jersey. property taxes in new jersey some of the worst in the country. in the if i everfive years they've down 5%. i vetoed five income tax raises. we are with 2016 gop candidate governor crist crest in new jersey. he see with us for the entire

hour. we're going to ask him how he'll turn the country around. if you want to ask a question of governor christie. go to facebook or twitter twitter @seanhannity as we continue. i've stood up against economic calamity and unprecedented natural disaster. we have brought ourselves together. we have pushed back that economic calamity and we are recovering from that natural disaster because we've led and worked together to do it.

lifethe state department releasing another 3,000 pages of hillary clinton's e-mails from her first year as secretary of state. the latest batch from her private server are from 2009.

three years before the benghazi attack. but after the white house banned her controversial friend sidney blumthol from working at the white house. clinton's e-mails have become a major issue with critics accusing her of using a private account to avoid scrutiny. the move comes after two intruders managed to scale the fence in less than a year. last september a man entered the mansion. the secret service says the spikes are a temporary solution. i'm jackie ibon yez, now back to "hannity." when i became governor six years ago, we had a state that was in economic calamity and $11 billion deficit on a $29 billion budget. a state that had taxes and fees

raised on it 115 times in the eight years before i became governor. a state that no longer believed that anyone person could make a difference in the lives of the people of the state. so we rolled up our sleeves and went to work. we balanced the budget. we refused to raise taxes on the people in this state for six years. >> back with us for an exclusive. 2016 gop presidential candidate new jersey governor chris christie. all right. it's very interesting i talked about the economy, the down grades. you're deal ing with a democratic legislature. you've got 47% of the country that i would confidently say would vote democratic. you still would probably have to deal with democrats in congress. how do you get to the 4% growth rate if you're the president considering 93 million americans are off the labor force and 46 million americans are on food

stamps. >> the way you solve it is create opportunity. we don't have an income inequality problem we have a opportunity problem. the first thing is we've got the simplify the tax system. we've laid out specifics. we got to get rid of all the special interest deductions except for the mortgage and charitable contribution. brings rates down where reagan was in 1986. bring it down to single digits. you've got to bring the business tax rate down to 25%. let's tack it at 9 3/4% is a lot more than 35% of zero and they're keeping it off shore. that's how you create opportunity and jobs in the country first. last point regulatory system 81,000 pages in new regulation by the obama administration in 2014 alone. the most ever by an administration in one year. we should do what i did in new jersey. freeze all new regulation when we get in and go to cutting the

regulation that's there. we got rid of a third of regulation in my first year in new jersey. >> $2.8 billion in cuts. >> $3.3 billion in business cuts. >> here's the thing, we're in new hampshire. no state inm cancome tax. in new jersey you're battling a democratic legislature -- what's that? not low property tax. i stand corrected. compared to new york it's low. okay. nearly two out of three interstate moves from new jersey are people moving out. you yourself pointed out between the 2004 and 2008 $70 million left the state. is new jersey the microcosm of the country? >> when we had liberal leaderson from '01 to '09, that's when it

happened. i've been pushing back against it to not make it worse. we had mercedes benz announced they're leaving to go to georgia. i gave my state of the state address after that. the president of mercedes benzwho is a graduate said i have to leave because it's too expensive. you are going to continue to be death and blind to what your policies are doing? >> you lots hertz, bubble wrap to north carolina. these are big companies. why are they leaving new jersey? >> it's too expensive, sean. it's too spevexpensive. >> its your state. >> i know if i had a republican legislature it would be different. even with a democratic legislature we ever cut taxes. we have capped property taxes. you roll up your sleeves and get to work and reach across the aisle. i've been able to do that and get democrats to do some of the things people thought we'd never

get a chance to do. think about this we capped the interest arbitration awards that public sector unions get in new jersey at 2%. did you ever think a union state like new jersey would get that done? >> i was interested in your comments saying we've got to have trueth telling. $128 trillion in unfunded liabilities. your kids my kids are going to inherit all of this. and i'm thinking okay if we really want to deal with it you got to deal with entitlements. that's where all the money is. so social security what are you going to do? >> first off, remember this we led off our effort here with entitlement reform. we've got to raise the retirement age two years over the next 25 years. we're living longer. it's great we're living longer. we've got to make the program. >> i want my money i've been paying since i was 12. >> i had a guy tell me i paid for it.

i understand. but it's going to go bankrupt. here's the bad news for you. you make more than $200,000 in retirement income. >> take your money. >> you're not going to get a social security check. >> isn't that government stealing? >> they already stole it. >> wait you said that. you said the ship has selled. >> it already happened. >> do you think that we've been lied to by the government? i want to see. wow. >> remember al gore in 2000. lock box. do you know what's in the lock box? iou's from the federal government. we're spending the money now. the money you and i all these people pay today it's going to be spent by the government on something else. they'll get an iou in social security. >> you will raise the retirement age. >> same thing with medicare. raise the eligible age. if if you make over $200,000 in retirement income we won't

subsidize your premiums. >> what would your alternative to obamacare be? >> we've got to go to a state based system. the challenges to provide healthcare in new jersey the most densely populated state in the country. a lot different than wyoming. why do we think one system can deal with the differences? >> how about healthcare savings accounts. >> it should be part of it. >> portability across state lines. >> there should be sales of insurance across state lines as well. everything we can do to increase competition is what we should be doing and let the governors make the decision. they're the ones who can be held responsible. not some bureaucrat in washington. >> we're have more with new jersey governor chris christie as we continue from new hampshire. we'll ask him about his plan to create jobs and foreign policy and much much more. you've been sending your questions via facebook and twitter all day. we'll get to that and more as we continue from new hampshire. straight ahead.

cuomo said no. and you let the president come to new jersey. i thought my personal opinion was a photo op. then it was the hug. >> there was no hug. stop, you know. first of all bloomberg and cuomo didn't say no. >> that's what the report said. >> the president didn't ask to go to new york. he asked to come to new jersey. do you know what else it was, it was two days after the worst natural disaster that ever hit my state. >> and new york. >> yes. when you're governor of new jersey you take an oath. the oath is not an oath to party, it's an oath of office. my job was to make sure that when the president came there i was courteous and respectful and i asked him for the federal government's help. if i had to do it all over again i wouldn't do anything differently. i owed that to the people who elected me governor. >> what do you say to people that maybe still believe it hurts? >> none of the polling information that came out afterwards indicated that at

all. talk to mit romney. because mitt romney will tell you it didn't hurt him. he said the storm hurt him. i didn't hurt him. it gave the president an opportunity to look presidential. but the storm did that not me. let me say one last thing. if people in this country want somebody who is going to play politics don't vote for me. i'm going to do the job people elected me to do. i'll do it unapologetically. >> that's a fair answer. i was really impressed -- i didn't know your family story until today. your dad worked at brier's ice cream. first person to get a degree. went to school at night six years. and there you are six months in your mom's belly and your mom's womb. that's the american dream. >> listen my father lost his father when he was 16 years old. he was admitted to columbia university he couldn't go because they didn't have the money. his father died and he had to go to work. he got drafted into the army

during korea. he served his country, came home and worked on the plant on the floor of the plant. >> i love briers. >> i do too. he told the guy on the plant, he said i work to work i get free ice cream. this guy said to him, you need to go to college. you're smart you got the gi bill. you got to go. he did and it changed our family's life. it gave me an opportunity. one generation removed from that guy, and i'm running for president of the united states. it's the greatest country in the world. >> great story. let me ask you about immigration. you once supported a pathway to citizenship. you don't any longer. you are against building a wall. and you signed a law in the state that allowed instate tuition breaks for the children of illegal imimmigrants. >> i'm not against building a wall. i'm against building a wall against the entire border.

it's too expensive and won't work. there are sections where you should build a wall or fence where it makes sense. we should use drones and surveillance. and human surveillance to make sure we secure the border. i'm not against the wall anywhere i'm against it everywhere. our dream act. here is what i believe. in new jersey we're paying for those kids to go to school from k-12 nearly $18,000 a year. it's the average tuition. >> that's per student. >> per year. once we invest that much in those young men and women. why do i want to make it harder for them to be able to get a college education? we made that decision to invest in them. let's make it easier for them to get a public education at one of our colleges or universities. that's why i did it. and i believe honestly believe that we've got to have a real conversation about what we do about this country on immigration. i think -- >> how do we secure the border? >> you have to secure the

border but you need a president who people believe will enforce the law. we don't have that now. we haven't had it. >> you said we'll never get rid of the 11 million people here illegally. the country would never do it. >> we won't. >> if you give them citizenship -- >> i didn't say i would give them citizenship. >> you changed. >> i came to the conclusion there is no way we'll be able to remove people. self-deportation is not going to work. they're not going to leave voluntarily. we've got to know there's not enough law enforcement officers local state and federal combined. i know this from my law enforcement experience to be able to forcibly deport 11 million people. i don't believe that giving some kind of special pathway to citizenship is the way to go. >> you vetoed the same-sex marriage bill. we had a court ruling this week. you said -- you're a catholic. and this i found pretty interesting that you believe people are born gay. and it's not a sin. so that puts you at odds with

the catholic church. how do you reconcile that? >> it's hard. but i've seen it in my own family. i believe that people are born with their sexual preference. and so i don't believe that god would allow that to happen and keep someone in a perpetual state of sin they couldn't change. that's why i don't believe -- >> why would you veto same-sex marriage if that's what you really believe? >> i believe words matter. and marriage for 2,000 years has been between one man and one woman. if folks who are in same sex relationships wanted to have legal rights to be able to pass on inherence and do other things i'm fine with that. marriage means something to me. and that's why i vetoed it and why i stand against it. and now our supreme court has ruled. if you take an oath of office you got to enforce the law and the constitution. >> recently we had the issue of the confederate flag the terrible shooting these people died. obviously a racist bigot involved in this. you said the confederate flag is

a divisive symbol of racism. i lived in alabama, in georgia, do you not believe there are people on the other side of this issue that are not racist but for other reasons like that flag? >> sure. i just said what it's a symbol of. unfortunately in our country it has become for many people that type of symbol. >> it's been hijacked by lunetic groups. >> of course. i agree with governor haley. she did it in a way that was thoughtful and i think right. i think we need to move past that conversation though. because the flag is just a symbol of the underlying problem. the underlying problem is that this young man prayed with people for an hour and then stood up and shot them and killed them in cold blood because they're african-american. i mean it's crazy. but you know what? it happens in our country. we need to have a discussion about race different than what we've had before. >> the untold story is the fact that those families within a day

said that they forgive him. i'm not that good. >> that's the majesty of true faith. it's the majesty of true faith. we held a prayer service in new jersey with our african-american pastors. i spoke at all. what i said we better start telling each other the truth and not sugar coat them and not get them diverted. we have racist sentiment in some portions of the country. we need to confront it honestly and our leaders need to talk about it. >> more with governor chris christie and the challenges america faces overseas. later the governor will answer some of your questions those you've been sending on facebook and twitter as we continue from new hampshire. straight ahead. it is a strong unequivocal america that will lead the world and not be afraid to tell our friends we'll we be with you no

presidential candidate governor crist chris christie. you've been talking about we need a stronger military. how would you deal with isis as president? >> we've got to empower our allies in the region. we've got the jordanians, egyptians, saudis who all see isis as a threat to their existence. they don't want to live under a theocracy. we need to be training them. we need more human intelligence on the ground. we need to stand with them and supply them with what they need. let them fight the fight. we don't want to be occupiers in the middle east. we want to fight them there so they don't come here. >> you're talking about a coalition of the willing in iraq is that what you're talking about? >> yes. >> the iranian parliament voted not to allow inspectors this president continues negotiating and extended the deadline today. >> this president has a quenchless thirst to have his

name in the history books for some reason. for signing one of the worst deals that this country would ever sign. here's the bottom line, sean. you know this. they're the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the wurl world. they want to blow israel off the map. this president wants to give them the ability to get nuclear weapons. it's outrageous and immoral. he should walk away from the table. if we don't have enough guts to do it our allies should walk away from the table. this president hasn't led. if the president walked away from the table our allies would as well. >> any deal he makes if you become president, null and void? >> i can't imagine there's a deal we would be able to sustain he would make. certainly not in the discussions now. they're have more four tons of enriched uranium and they won't send it out of the country. we're supposed to trust them. it's crazy. no ballistic missile deal. >> that's a big part we don't talk about it.

>> those ballistic missiles are not to shoot at israel or egypt. they will be shot at the united states. >> let me ask you about vladmir putin and russia. we see his political ambitions. ukraine, crimea. how would you do with putin? >> you know me pretty well. i don't think he would misunderstand me. that's the first thing. >> okay. >> secondly i think we've got to show him once again there are limits to conduct. what do we need to do? we need to put missiles in poland. we need to make sure we do regular troop movements in the baltic states. he needs to understand that america is going to stand up to its nato obligations if he moves any further. we need to make sure we do something different on energy. why energy? we should be exporting energy from the united states developing and exporting it so our western european allies don't have to rely on russia. >> he can turn off the spigot and hold him hostage. >> we shouldn't allow that to happen. they'll ratchet the sanctions up higher if we say the north

american continent could say don't worry our three countries bill back will back you up. in new jersey, 53% of energy comes from nuclear. we're the third largest solar producing state in the country behind california and arizona. >> last summer i was in israel during the war. how do we repair that damage that now exists? >> we stand up next to benjamin netanyahu and we tell everyone we have no better friend in the middle east or in the world than netanyahu and israel. we have to see that publicly and repeatedly to repair the damage this president has done. this president won't stand up to assad but he stands up to netanyahu. it's an embarrassment. we need an america that does two things makes our friends know we'll stand by them no matter what the polls say and lets our
