he was apologetic. we believe sincere. but you know, it's an ongoing investigation.just very -- we're concerned that there's more stuff and more issues to deal with, but we are appreciative here in ft. lee that the governor came up here to apologize. >> you believe him? >> i take him for his word. listening intently to the press conference today, i mean, there was no in between, there was nothing but unequivocal statements that he had absolutely no knowledge. he repeated those statements during the course of our interview. i viewed it as productive. but no uncertain terms is it closure. by no uncertain terms is it the end of this issue, though it the beginning of what we're hopeful is a trusting relationship without fear of retribution in the future and in that regard that was number one on my list, which was, you know, how do you assure us here in ft. lee that we don't suffer the fate of retribution in the future. he assured us that wouldn't happen. >> you had a chance to observe him up close for four years now. was this kind of political vendetta the venrevenge tha

facts but i promise you this is what's happening right now as we speak and the republicans are on apologetic about it and now they're saying well we don't know if we're really going to do this yet they really are wanting to do this they've actually written the piece of legislation to make this happen amazing next week is the thirty eighth anniversary of the buckley vs fellatio decision which was the first time the supreme court really kind of came out and said explicitly the money is protected by the first amendment and we're going to interpret money as speech and therefore it's protective of our spending and then this is a course was was. further cemented into our law by the citizens united the fourth anniversary of that was yesterday. maybe the day before and. you know what this is of a cut you know which is even worse yeah i mean isn't this just like the logical consequence of you know this this the these royals this this judicial supremacy these you know the five out of the nine right wingers on the supreme court turning america into a plutocracy tom they did two things they did there we

new jersey governor chris christie tried to regain his political footing during his apologetic statef the state speech yesterday. but.the real reason those lanes were closed on the george washington bridge remains a mystery. as two state investigations and a federal inquiry ramp- up. three theories have emerged. the most prominent theory being that it was political retribution from the governor's office toward fort lee mayor mark sokolich- for not endorsing christie in his re-election bid. another theory involves democratic state senate majority leader loretta weinberg. fort lee is in her district. weinberg and the democrats had been in a bitter political fight with christie-- over their blocking of his state supreme court nominees. then there's the 'follow the money' theory. on two parcels of land in fort lee near the lanes that were blocked on the george washington bridge-- a billion-dollar retail and apartment project called 'hudson lights' is being developed. this project has been a huge part of sokolich's tenure. any problem with those access-lanes to the bridge could hurt that

huge negative against an incredibly huge positive because he is being honest and forthright and apologetic, if -- if the story continues to hold up exactly as he has described it this morning. >> david shuster thank you for the perspective. when it comes to this particular controversy, this is not just about the closing of four lanes on a bridge, it is the busiest bridge in the world some say. much more on that story straight ahead, but right now we're going to take a break, because there was a lot of other news happening today. we'll be right back. and in those cases where formal education isn't feasible because of the sec >> an exclusive "america tonight" investigative series >> we traveled here to japan to find out what's really happening at fukushima daiich >> three years after the nucular disaster, the hidden truth about the ongoing cleanup efforts and how the fallout could effect the safety of americans >> are dangerous amounts of radioactive water, leaking into the pacific eververyday? >> join america tonight's michael okwu for an exclusive four part series, as we return to fukushim

at first he was apologetic. i was buying into every bit of that story until later when he started defending that traffic study. if you want to go back and watch how he defended it, started throwing out numbers, this wasn't about a traffic study. it was about a pay back to the fort lee mayor. he should have said, you know what, i'm cleaning house. let's move on. don't defend a traffic study. there was no traffic study. >>> next two big stories over a two major presidential contenders. chris christie and hillary clinton. which one is getting more coverage in the mainstream media? we're going to compare the coverage when "the five" continues ♪ you make me want to roll my window down and cruise ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> i like it. >> liberals in the media and the democratic party are just giddy about this chris christie party. here's rush limbaugh's theory about why. >> the left right now is very excited about what we just learned about governor christie because what we learned about governor christie is helping take the sting off

of documents related to governor chris christie's office, were released tonight william with the apologetic grove at the center. david shuster has the story. >> so far the documents do not appear to undermine governor christie's position. he says he wasn't involved in the scandal and didn't know about it until this week. probing the scandal raised new questions about the lengths the staff would have had to have gone to keep christie in the dark. in a september 13th e-mail patrick foye warned a number of officials access to the bridge was critical, i believe this hasty decision, foye reported, i'm appalled by the lack of process, and the dangers created to the public. one of the e-mails went to david samson the chairman of the port authority. according to other documents samson met with christie, a week before bridged cel yeah asked the are authority to carry out the lane closures. >> i'm convinced that he has absolutely no knowledge of this, that this was executed at the operational level. and never brought to the attention of the board of commissioners. >> do you have any questions? >> yet

abject denial that he knew anything about this, fired two people, somewhat apologetic and also did not completely eliminate from his performance the traits that people like about him. he is very articulate, very fluid, very human. what has been most remarkable to me is the degree to which, in many corners of the media, there thehe caveat, he is telling truth if nothing contradicts what he said. murdoch, theert articles on friday were laced with clear references to the notion of, assuming is telling the truth, he is lying. if he is not telling the truth, he is dead. from skepticism about the chronology, certain elements of the chronology, it makes people wonder how could that be? how could this small group of relatively junior people take it upon themselves to do such a thing without telling the boss? and secondly because people know chris christie. he is a tough guy who does things his way. is it impossible that he knew about such a thing? impossible.s it is but that performance gives him the ability now, if there are no new facts, to say i have shown accountability, i have gotten rid

conference, and from a lot of accounts, left and right, they give him good marks for being conciliatory, apologetic, using the right tone, and the right tenor; there are still a lot of questions, and there are probably going to be other elements to this story. it is one of those stories that is probably going to have a lot of legs. you have talk about all of the coverage it's received so far. one of his aides pled the fifth, took the fifth today. in testimony up there in new jersey. you have a number of different investigations that are still going on. and whilewhile the governor insists he didn't know about it, there's still the possible aspect that there is something about the culture that his staff thought this was the right thing to do, and that's what he wanted. so, there will be a lot more to this. he did himself probably well answering all of the questions the way he did and firing the one aide immediately on the first day. >> the question then comes up, besides firing bridget anne kelly, the woman at the heard of this, that everything he had to say was truthful so he doesn't get in hot wate

governor chris christie entered apologetic and, he said, heartbroken. >> i am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team. >> echoing the words of yesterday's written statement, christie asserted his ignorance of the e-mails and text messages that showed some of his top staffers conspireing to shut down the bridge in an act of political payback. >> i had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or in its execution and i am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here. >> he said heads have already rolled, including bridget anne kelly, whose name is all over the e-mail and text message chain. >> i've terminated the employment of bridget kelly effective immediately. she was not given the opportunity to explain to me why she lied because it was so obvious that she had. >> bill stepein was also fired less than a week being nominated by the governor for the chairman of the state. >> if i cannot trust someone's judgment, i cannot ask others to do so and i would not place him atted head of my political operation. >> it's unclear whether th

and they were on a apologetic about the idea that slavery was a state of war. and so lots of statements suggesting that we just have to fight. there is no reason to be reticent about political violence because we don't have any political rights. we are not really operating within the system. and after the civil war, during the period of reconstruction, where there was sense where we have a promising political opportunity, we stopped to see the people backing off and it's still elevating individual self-defense. by 1876 where reconstruction ends we have another sort of bump in the transformation. in the concept of individual self-defense becomes much more important because people have lost the political right that they have and they are all that they would get. and it is a bleeker period, so you start to see almost a residual matter, lots of references to self-defense rather than political violence. and we move into the 20th century and for things to get better we have to proceed in a fashion that evokes the tools of the democratic process and may be the america

then a victim's family member who says, apologetically it seems, maybe it would have been better if jime died as well. does that surprise you to hear that coming from victims' families? >> it didn't surprise me at all. kai will tell you that ntsb, for some reason, blamed jim, blamed him for pilot error. when we found out there were so many other factors going on. not only did jim have to deal with being a sole sewer survivor. survivor's guilt, ptsd, depression, and the guilt of kpo possibly contributing to the death of all those people. so it didn't surprise me at all. but knowing what i know of jim and reading about him and the film, i think there were times that jim wanted to die himself because he couldn't deal with the burden of being this sole survivor. so much expected of him as is expected of kai. >> it is a blessing and curse. kai, a big part of this film, we want to listen to this clip of george and what is expected of him. >> you think really deep about what you're doing with your life and all the people that were involved with this accident. that may have done more with her l

that type of on their mistake you have to immediately turn around of flip the switch the end be apologeticincere as possible. >> like the day after comparable to the publicity is almost greater than the president's entire speech. >> that says a lot about the president's speech. in reality in today's world everyone as a camera. now he was doing that in front of actual cameras and he still reacted that way. if you're in public life you have to be careful at all times. everybody is recording all the time. >> that little half smile, the smirk. >> , mom warned peter about this. lori: you guys were so much fun. thank you. >> pleasure. lori: up next, a resident to of evidence that they could be well on their way to failure. former pentagon official weighs in next. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younr than 18 or men wi

. >>> chris christie apologetic. i'm sorry coming as 1,000 pages of new evidence from this case becomes public this morning. >> good morning, everyone. i'm john berman. >> and i'm christine romans. it's 5:00 a.m. in the east. there could be more stunning revelations today for chris christie and the political scandal putting him in the center of the political spotlight. he says he's embarrassed and humiliated and sorry for what he claims happened without his knowledge. he's now fired a top aid and asked an adviser to give up a job for their roles in a shutdown of traffic on the very busy george washington bridge during last year' gubernatorial campaign. apparently it was political payback against a mayor who wouldn't endorse their boss. documents are expected to be released today. a source says the fbi now looking into what happened to see if federal law was violated. even though christie apologized, one person connected with the shutdown is not talking. joe johns begins our coverage. >> i come out here to apologize.

enough to today he says that the governor ed was gracious and apologetic and he believes what he saidrt of why what christie did today was so brilliant from a p.r. or sort of campaign advisor perspective. he did everything professionals would tell him to do. he apparently talked to everyone before he went out and talked about it he then, again, he apologized. he fired somebody. he sat there and rung reporters dry by taking almost two hours worth of questions. and then he goes to fort lee and meets with the guy. and allows this to happen. allows the photos to be taken, lous the cameras to show him. >> and he went there with the mayor. >> just 48 hours ago was calling him a piece of garbage. >> he lived up to, christie lived up to christie. >> exactly. >> he has a reputation as a straight shooter, charismatic man. man of the people. hard to live up to that. in the middle of the scandal he managed to pull that off. >> wore off the media not the longest but pretty long. >> he absolutely did. so funny, all kinds of journalists complaining on twitter going on too long. you think journalists

when a 6 foot 14-year-old with a large helmet hits somebody's achilles and split it, you should be apologeticere somewhere. >> the boy 's parents are saying they didn't receive information about the lawsuit until six months after the alleged injury took place. >> i spoke to board members. they were just what? >> the coach claims the family knew about his injury and turned their backs on him when he reached out for help. >> it's not about the family. it's acknowledgment and taking responsibility for their action. >> some say the lawsuit is frivolous. >> you assume the risk. for a coach to have a legal claim against a child for something like this is lack of a better word propostrous. >> the coach says he's just looking for an apology. >> thanks to john berman for that report. joey, when i hear the words careless or reckless in a legal context, i think of people with grown minds who establish what careless and reckless means. i don't think of a 14-year-old understanding careless and reckless on the ball field. >> interestingly enough in california you can certainly sue a 14-year-old. that was p

can he take an apologetic tone? that's kind of not his standard operating demeanor. can he explain how this could have happened among senior officials in his office? >> new jersey democrats are just incredulous about this. here is what some of a few had to say last night. >> well, what was revealed was what we have all suspected, but not had proof, that this was a political operation. >> the credibility level is getting reduced and reduced as this story continues to move on. >> alex, has the damage already been done? let me show you the front page of "the trentonian." and he has that love loy cone on the top of his head. >> chris, i think it's funny to hear the new jersey democrats trying to it strike this we're so disappointed tone, because this is christmas for the guys. el certainly some damage is done, but when you look at where the folks in the legislature are in this, this is just getting started. i agree with susan that today's performance by christie is extremely important for the way he is perceived nationally. in the state it almost doesn't matter what he s

. >> no, i'm giving you the look because for the first hour or so it was apologetic, heartfelt, he had me for an hour, and then one reporter asked him the right question, what about this traffic study, governor? why do you need to shut down two of the lanes of the biggest bridge to do a traffic study? at that point he should have said i'm going to find out who did it. instead, he defended the traffic study. >> too much in the weeds. >> there was no defense of the traffic study, sean. >> he is throwing out the baby with the bath water -- >> here is my take, he better not have had knowledge of it. there better not be a cc with his name on it. >> that was the gutsy part of it. that is what made it really gutsy to it. >> maybe because he knows the truth and that he didn't do it. >> like eric said if there was an e-mail to come forward. >> last question, what about the double standard, the nsa, the irs -- why are you laughing? >> president obama said i learned about these things in the media. you know, it is just a common theme of the president, i just didn't know about it. i just didn't kn

we can't be apologetic as americans for removing evil in the world.h saddam in play. brian and i, we have nothing to regret about what we did over there, nothing. >> brian, if you had the opportunity, if you bumped into hillary clinton, i would love to know what would you like to say to her? or to the president? >> i would tell them, you know, i think i could speak on behalf of most americans and say we're all disgraced with having her represent us and represent the people because, you know, not only is she throwing all u.s. military under the bus, her and president obama, but it's just a disgrace. it's an embarrassment to the united states to have people in public talking about what they said. and i mean, it's uncalled for. and it's time for a change. americans need people who can represent them and their ideas rather than someone's own personal agenda. >> brian i'm going to say again, thank you, thank you for serving, thank you for being here. steve, great to have you back. appreciate your service to this country as well. an honor to have both of yo

during christie's apologetic press conference on the closing of the bridge, he said he did not ask hiseputy chief of staff why she sent that e-mail, why she apparently ordered the shutdown of those bridge lanes. he said he was not interested in whatever explanation she had to offer. >> i have not had any conversation with bridget kelly since the e-mail came out. so she was not given to me the explanation to me why she lied, it was so obvious that she had. and i'm quite frankly not interested in the explanation at the moment. >> he was shot interested in the explanation at the moment, maybe he was just mad. but we still don't know if governor christie is interested in the explanation now. so far, nobody on his side has offered any explanation whatsoever as to why this happened. what was the trigger? and until that question is answered, people are going to keep asking what the answer might plausibly be. even if governor christie's spokesman prefers we stop doing that and attacks us when we do. joining us, alton dollman. congratulations to your paper in its role in breaking this story nat
