, if you zoom in, you will see this whole time chris christie was chilling on the beach. ( laughter ) that's what they were fighting about! so where's chri that's why there's a war. but while we're on the subject, let's talk about war -- good god, y'all, what is it good for? making someone look presidential. last night prump took a quick break from night golfing to speak to the nation in a major primetime address. it was a good speech and he successfully read it. >> fox news alerted any strategy for afghanistan. president trump announcing his plan for america's longest war. >> president trump promising additional troops in the war-torn country. >> from now on we will have a clear vision, attacking our enemies, crushing al quaida, preventing the taliban from taking over afghanistan and stopping mass terror attacks against america before they emerge. >> trevor: so one clear -- got it, got it. i'm sorry, look, i know that he's been president for seven months but seeing donald trump making military decisions still weird for me. i mean, he must be the first human being in history who gets to command an army after starring in a pizza hut comme

chris christie. >> just normal chris christie. >> yes. that's exactly what i think. >> reporter: a ballpark snack locked in his hands. >> he had a couple of hot dogs or something. >> nachos. >> nachos is right up his alley. >> reporter: christie tells the fan what's on his mind and heads to his seat. >> if this fan was that close to chris christie's face, what do you think would have happened to that fan? >> be in a lot of trouble. >> that fan has since apologized on facebook and for his part in the cubs confrontation, christie had this to say monday evening. >> if you give it, you're going to get it back and i think that was a very medicllow reaction. >> i think probably both of them were wrong. >> chris christie said he ignored the insult at first and only confronted the fan after they continued. christie says public officials are not public punching bags. >> okay. there are both sides. >> many sides to all these conversations. >> greg argos, thanks so much. >>> recently built sand dunes in margate have flooded from recent rains. the dun

chris christie. >>> still with me, governor chris christie. i want to talk about friday night as the storm was bearing down. the president he pardoned sheriff joe arpaio. a lot of people were very critical of that. particularly those who worked in the rule of law who know how hard it is to get a criminal conviction of contempt. did the president make the right call? >> i talked to the president about this. i said if you feel really strongly about it personally, it is your call. >> in the end, listen. i think that the pardon power should be used very, very sparingly. a lot of people have changed their lives. i think a key part is, has the person changed their life and have they changed what caused them to do it? he has to make those calls. he has to be the executive. he got voted out by 13 points. the latino that's live there. sheriff joe was demanding papers of people which was unconstitutional according the two judges. for the president to pardon him. what message does that send? >> it's a message the president has sent through his whole camp

jersey, joe, aside from that, he was so close to chris christie, he was in his wedding, he won't talk to him now. >> a lot of people have problem with chris christie over bridgegate in specific and policy decisions, but you can't just label him a crook, that is irresponsible. >> starting tomorrow we'll have 165 more days of chris christie, there is no doubt there will be more video, i'll have you back. thank you. >> appreciate it. >> ashley, you are chasing a story shocking, the quiet world of hip-hop. rocked by a murder. >> so dramatic. rapper kid creole of grandmaster flash. is charged with murder in stabbing death of a 55-year-old man, kid creole, nate glove nir got into a dispute with john jolly who was homeless, police say that jolly walked blocks before collapses and later pronounced dead at bellevue hospital, jolly served several years in prison after being convicted of rape in 1997, and he later certained tim searcheda weapon time. video evidence is what led them to arrest glover, aka kid creole. the group had split in 1984, but kid creole stayed on with dj grandmaster flash. i have reached out to 95.5 radio host ralphy, to weigh

and chris christie is the perfect choice to lead a bipartisan commission, because if there's one issue of bipartisan agreement right now, it's that everyone, regardless of party, hates chriss is the governor who has the lowest approval rating, not just of any governor in recent memory here in the state, but across the country. hovering at just 15%. >> seth: 15%. chris christie is as popular with voters as salad is with chris christie. [ light laughter ] so how is he doing leading the commission? >> president donald trump's commission aimed at fighting opioid abuse and devising a strategy to provide treatment to those addicted, will miss for the second time its deadline to file an interim report to the president. >> seth: even worse, experts point out that the administration's current priorities, which include an emphasis on enforcement over treatment, are not going to help turn the epidemic around. and the reason law enforcement can't solve the problem alone, is because far too often, opioid addiction begins legally. with doctors prescribing strong painkillers, and pharmaceutical companies endorsing the drugs, because they stand to benefit from sales of them. and this is

already you see ted cruz and chris christie getting into a war where chris christie wants to remind peopleery they ted cruz, senator from texas, was one of the outspoken opponents of the sandy bill which ted cruz claims had too much pork in it for him to support. i think politically it will be difficult, but it doesn't seem that lawmakers are prepared to hold the money hostage. >> it was a spat between cruz and christie yesterday. the "washington post" reporting there is a meeting between trump and that republican and democratic leadership regarding federal funding for harvey victims. that is september 6th after they're back. >>> let's turn our attention to the deadline. you are all over the immigration issue. what is the fewture for the some -- future for the some 800,000 dreamers? where are we headed? >> reporter: right now the future is uncredibly uncertain and -- is incredibly uncertain and causing question from snow advisory -- from those brought to the u.s. from the only home they have ever known. the problem is an ultimatum issued by conservative state attorneys general who are push

(steve) six months into his presidency, donald trump's overall approval rating stands at its lowest point in cnn polling. overall... 38- percent say they approve of trump's handling of the presidency....with 56-percent saying they disapprove. 24-percent of americans say they trust all or most of what they hear in official communications from the white house.... while 30- percent say they trust "nothing at all" that they hear from the president's office. (steve) and trump fired back - at the result

chris christie deployed task force one last night. helping with recovery efforts linked to flooding. governor chris christie said new jersey's the heart felt thoughts and prayers to the people of texas at this very difficult time. philadelphia firefighters and pennsylvania search and rescue task force loaded up and rolled out early yesterday morning. joined first waive of firefighters who left for the flood zone on friday. >>> number of flights scheduled to arrive impacted by harvey are cancelled are delayeds obviously. one flight from austin landed yesterday afternoon. spoke to a student from delaware said she's happy to see nice weather here at home. excited it's sunny because it was really rainy and cloudy. everybody was rushing around trying to get everything for the hurricane. and we went to walmart to get milk and eggs and stuff like that, there was no milk left. >> next flight from austin to philadelphia is scheduled today. american red cross workers and other volunteers are answering the call for help. red cross in philadelphia broke out emergency response truck. total drive the truck. harv

senator bob menendez's corruption trial next month, chris christie will have the power to appoint a replacement. it could be his ticket to dc. >> reporter: chrisis not sitting on the beach. he is probably salivating, hoping senator menendez gets convicted because it gives the opportunity for chris christie to appoint maybe himself or a republican senator. >> reporter: the trial will not be put on hold to allow menendez to return to cast votes. connection is convicted would not kick him out of office but he can voluntarily resign or get expelled by two thirds majority vote in the senate. heather: a breakthrough in the search for natalie holloway, human remains discovered in aruba where she vanished 12 years ago of eastern european descent, that matches her family heritage. final tests are expected in coming weeks. the 18-year-old from alabama was last seen leaving a nightclub in aruba in 2005. her father filming a documentary on her disappearance. rob: whole foods could beget a lot cheaper thanks to amazon, amazon prime members will receive and store savings and discounts after amazon is set to finalize a $14 billion purchase. heather: an effor

meanwhile, did you see chris christie at the baseball game? new jersey governor chrisistie is in the middle of a make america hate him again tour. a few weeks ago he closed down the state beach in new jersey, then took his family to the state beach. and yesterday he was in milwaukee at the brewers-cubs game and he got in a fight with a guy who yelled you suck at him. >> appreciate that. >> what did he say to you? >> huh? >> there's secret service right there. >> what did he say? >> you want to act like a big shot? >> jimmy: that is so good. he's cradling a container of nachos. [ laughter ] belt is up higher than his approval rating. look at this still here. you know, if you didn't know what was going on it really could look like chris christie stole that man's nachos, right? [ laughter ] if i were the guy sitting i would have reached over and eaten one of those nachos right in the middle. this, by the way, is only the second most ridiculous-looking thing chris christie has done at a baseball game. second only to this moment here. [ laughter ] that was the right reactio

chris christie. the president happens to be in new jersey this weekend as we speak. but chris christie was on our show with jake tapper this morning in the "state of the union." here's what he had to say about the meeting in trump tower last summer between don jr., paul manafort and jared kushner. >> this meeting was ill advised. this is not something that should have happened. and i believe they had reached out to the campaign attorney, the white house counsel now, he would have told them that. i think everybody in retrospect knows this was a bad idea. >> so, david, he is a loyal trump supporter. but he's saying something that's opposite of what we're hearing from the white house. >> well, first of all, what governor christie is correct. the first thing that don jr. should have done is when he was e-mailed with the offer is go to don mcgann, who is a sharp election lawyer, understands the law well, knows how campaigns should operate and said, how should i handle this. with the campaign to fall back on when they get caught in problems like this, they're saying, look, we're new

there was talk about whether chris christie was going to take part in this national approach to an opioid epidemic. we didn't see him there today. >> i believe chris christie is on vacation in italy. i'm glad you brought he is the head of the administration's commission on drug abuse. last month at end of july he and his commission actually recommended to the administration to declare a national emergency on the opioid epidemic as a sort of solution moving forward for how to handle this. you'll also remember that federal funding for medicaid was on the line for dealing with treatments for opioid abuse when they were trying to repeal and replace the. does that free up any federal funding or is that justing something you put on paper. >> it's one way to sort of free up federal funding and that's why her ' trying to do that after the federal fuppedding didn't work out. so declaring a national emergency is sort of a small step forward after that accident work out for them. even though there was no policy or necessarily big solutions that were announced today we also saw the and she tweeted about this right before they sat down for the press conference

chris christie and ted cruz. they have gone back and forth with chris christie, the governor of new jersey, having tough words for cruz. take a look. >> the problem with that particular bill is it became a $50 billion bill that was filled with unrelated pork. two-thirds of that bill had nothing to do with sandy. >> you know, he talks about playing politics, that's what he did. with people's lives in 2012, 2013. he should just stand up now and say, i was wrong. i was wrong in 2012. it was the wrong thing to do. and now i hope that the people of new jersey and new york are willing to let bygones be bygones. >> this over the sandy aid bill that the texas delegation voted against. what should republicans do now in trying to help texas? >> republicans should help texas. and i think chris christie said that himself, that new jersey members of the delegation are big men and women and they will do the right thing for the people of texas. but it is not lost on them the words that were used at the time of the sandy disaster. and quite frankly, christie was right. two-thirds of that bill was not pork. if you go back and loo

what chris pratt is saying about his breakup with anna faris. >>> and governor chris christie offers an invitation to president trump that could have some people in the state upset. tell us what you think. [ gasps, laughs ] you ever feel like... cliché foil characters scheming against a top insurer for no reason? nah. so, why don't we like flo? she has the name your price tool, and we want it. but why? why don't we actually do any work? why do you only own one suit? it's just the way it is, underdeveloped office character. you're right. thanks, bill. no, you're bill. i'm tom. you know what? no one cares. >>> breaking right now, remembering a champion. phillies past and present sharing their thoughts after the death of dutch daulton. >>> flooding danger. a slow moving storm is bringing a lot of rain to our area. how it can impact your afternoon rush. >>> and rundown, new video shows an atv driver after he attacked a police officer in camden. >>> nbc 10 news starts now. >> busy monday morning. 5:30. good morning. welcome to nbc 10 news today. i'm tracy davidson. >> i'm vai sikahema. le

chris christie made it clear the president has an open invitation to the governor's beach house. >> we would welcome with open arms to take time at the jersey shore. >> governor chris christie was criticized for staying at the beach house with his family during a state government shut down. >> severe weather has left a path 68 destruction in the nation's heartland. 0 people were injured when an ef-2 tornado went through the city of tulsa, oklahoma. residents complained even though they received mobile tornado alerts, the outdoor sirens were silent. torrential rain stranded drivers in missouri. three men pushed a flooded mustang through water nearly up to their waist in westport. >> what will it be like when that system gets to us. >> reporter: we'll see periods of rain today, it will get intense later this afternoon, the morning rain should not cause too many issues. let's take a look right now at storm tracker 6 live double scan, we can see we're now wet in philadelphia. it's light rain, i want to take you a little closer. with double scan we've got the view of this. in coatsville yellow and red you're getting hit pretty well. in pottstown, it's light to moderate

chris? is chris around in even more than chris christie he was there, right? even more. to make my point. i love the people of new hampshire. they gave me my first big victory. >> and i think they're drugged alled now. that was the president a month after his primary win. this morning he may not love the people of new hampshire quite so much. they certainly don't love him as much. new poll showing him behind already six months into his administration against one of his key rivals. i think that may be irrelevant to what happens in 2020 but is extraordinarily relevant to how other republicans are looking at donald trump and wondering how far out on a limb to we go with this guy? how much of our political careers do we invest in somebody who is a lifelong democrat until 2011, picked up birtherism, and now seems to be taking the party off a cliff? they stayed with him for a while. but you look at the numbers that we're about to show you now, and they're going to be a lot of reasons back home this week asking how much more do i want to invest in donald trump? and not worry abo

been talking about on the show that you know, chris christie has had sort of angry confrontations with people recently had an angry confrontation with chrisrue, fred? >> fred: i did. a really angry confrontation. we were in -- i was in las vegas. >> seth: uh-huh. >> fred: and i was just, you know, walking around the casino, just trying to, you know -- i try to go to all of them. [ laughter ] you know what i mean? just try to hit every casino. >> seth: there's so many casinos in las vegas. >> fred: so many but -- >> seth: why do you try to go to all of them? >> fred: because it's one visit. you know what i mean? so i just went from -- and then he -- so i'm about to get on this tram, and then he comes up to me, he is like, "hey man, that's my tram." i'm like, "i don't care, i'll walk." so he's like, "sit down." i'm like, "all right, i'll sit down." "stand up." "why do you want me to --" "turn around." [ laughter ] "go in to the luxor." and i'm like, "that's like a mile away." he's like, "let's just go to the --" he started to become friendly. >> seth: oh, my god. >> fred: so he wanted to go in to the luxor. >> seth: so this is really hot an

. >> chris christie is not sitting on the beach, saying probably i hope senator menendez gets convicted because it gives chris christie the opportunity to appoint maybe himself or a room within senator . look at the reality. it's, it could be a lengthy process in terms of what can happen in the court. senator menendez could appeal the verdict. it's complicated. then you're talking about the race, the governor race in new jersey which, there's a huge likelihood a democrat is going to win. when the democratic candidate wins in his governor, he will be sworn in january. then he gets to pick. >> bret: short of that, this judges ruling is obviously an interesting politically. finally, on transgender military guidelines coming out with the specifics. instruct the pentagon stop admitting transgender individuals into the military. consider deploy ability of current transgender individuals and whether they should be remaining in the military. stop spending on medical treatment, surgery for transgenders already in the military. give jim mattis six months to implement. >> i think the key take away is jim mattis seems to

[applause] >> i don't know if they ever will. so we get a special counsel. we get robert mueller and he hires more clinton donors to work in his office. he must spend a heck of a lot of money. i don't mean to make you the president's spokesman that you seem to know him well enough. can you tell me, is he thinking to himself, just turn me loose on these guys but i'm going to fire them all and people are restraining him? or he is saying to himself if i do that, that would make us look worse. >> his advisers tell him, there's going to be nothing anyway. i think this will end up being a positive for trump anyway. he spent $100 billion investigating. they leak everything about this guy. they are going to spend a lot of money and time and at the end they wil
