and so for chris christie to give that horribly convoluted answer, and i have to agree with joe in hisescription of governor christie and his inability or unwillingness to meet with those two newtown parents, i agree with him. chris christie has made a reputation as being someone who is not afraid of a challenge, unafraid to go and take on a challenge, take on a problem, you know, head first. and in this case, he couldn't find the time, five minutes, ten minutes, to meet with these two -- with these two families to hear them out. senator cruz was able to do that, why not governor christie? i think we know the answer to that. >> david corn, would you imagine there would be a day when joe scarborough and other republican analysts would look at chris christie on some issue and say well, he's just chicken, he's just afraid of addressing it honestly? if christie had a reputation a year ago, it was well, he's the straight talking tough guy. >> that's certainly out the window now. he can look at the republican presidential primary horizon. if he voted for any type of -- if he approved any typ

call chris christie. ll him to fight for judges who respect to rule of law. >> joe, christie at this point, i guess how would you characterize his play in the presidential race? complicated? he raises a lot of money for the party? he's still a big draw. but there are questions. >> it's getting less complicated by the day. nicolle wallace, when chris christie got in trouble six months ago, people turned to jeb and said, boy, we need you to run. the longer jeb's name has been out there, the more questions has been raised. does he really want to do it? there are a lot of problems surrounding him. look at the poll numbers. upside down in a big way in a general election. jeb is looking at those numbers i'm sure. i haven't talked to him about it. you almost get a sense that chris christie and his camp are starting to say the smoke is starting to clear, they've looked at jeb, he's either the establishment candidate or i am. this morning it's looking more like chris christie. if i'm chris christie, i'm absolutely

governor chris christie promised he would fix it. the court with judges who respect the rule of law. over and over, he broke his promise. christie has had five openings on the new jersey supreme court, enough to build a majority. but the court remains liberal. >> joining me now, msnbc senior political movie analyst, david corn. david, when we show -- >> i feel like i need my popcorn here. >> when we showed the movie trailer thing in our office today, half of the people watching it thought that was an ant anti-christie ad. they took it down tonight because someone over there in chris christie world realized how nutty it is. >> it seems to me they were making a movie about his presidential campaign, they would have to call it "twilight." but this one, they can call it other people's money. he just signed the budget. the budget is $32 billion, and the only thing that got it through is because he refused to raise taxes on the wealthy. and instead, took $1.6 billion that was supposed to go to pensions and decided hey, i'm not going to mak

attorney that here is proof, that chris christie, one issue he knew about it.he other issue is can you prove he knew about it before he says he knew about it? can anybody bring that about? in terms of specific charges when it comes to federal prosecution, generally where there is a will there is a way. but in terms of kind of exposure for christie, that is the exposure that has to come out. you're right, it is an opaque process, chris christie did not have this kind of an opaque office. there are weeks constantly, i know he benefitted. he used it for public gain. >> one wonders, and this has happened repeatedly for this, you detail this in your piece, brian. it is not just bridgegate, the investigation has brought closer national scrutiny. the port authority as the sort of cookie jar/sort of an office for political favors is abundantly clear. you detailed that effectively when pataki nominated one for his office. the process of having sort of one guy or girl from new jersey in one position and one from new york in the other became cemented. but christie specifi

a jeb bush, a chris christie. christie is suffering, as you correctly identified, from the bridge scandal when it comes to the general electorate, but you've got to go back to hurricane sandy when he did the -- it's wonderful, he's marvelous with barack obama right before the presidential election and that did not sit well and still doesn't with the republican core. >> obviously let's go quickly to hillary clinton. >> sure. >> those -- i'm still just sort of shell shocked. 94% favorable rating among new hampshire democrats, almost at 90 for iowa. there is -- i look at these numbers. there doesn't appear to be any opening for anybody to challenge her if you take them at face value right now. >> hillary is benefiting from a huge gender gap when it comes to the general election, but when it comes to the democrats, she's just getting everybody. so, you know, the issue for hillary clinton is that the democrats are really ready for hillary, but the rest of the country not so. so when you look at iowa and new hampshire, s

i think that chris christie is still a viable candidate. i think this bridgegate scandal is going to hurt him because he's going to be attacked by that, but in the end, he's a great talker but i think he's -- the whole republican party is going to have problems in a general election. the problem is they're not like governor pawlenty who is a moderate. he's going to hate me for saying that. >> he just called you the "m" word. >> let me get you on the record because you do have a different style from mr. christie. let's hear from governor christie. >> did i stay on topic? are you stupid? on topic. >> you have numnuts, get the hell off the beach. >> i don't ask you where you send your kids to school, don't bother me about where i send mine. thank you all very much. and i apologize for the idiot over there. it's people like you dividing this country. >> numnuts gets me every time. so funny! >> you know what it takes to win in the primaries. does this play in iowa in. >> i think people want a bold talker, but more importantly, look, if you're go

that makes chris christie most recent evolution pretty remarkable because chris christie has been outhere making news as only a politician like chris christie could, by not letting anyone know what he thinks. now, why would that be the case? the story, coming up. woooo. i know what you're thinking. you're thinking beneful. [announcer]and why wouldn't he be? beneful has wholesome grains,real beef,even accents of spinach,carrots and peas. it has carbohydrates for energy and protein for those serious muscles.

undecided was the top vote in new hampshire, followed by rand paul and chris christie. there is a clearer picture on the democratic side in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, democrats picked hillary clinton over joe biden. they had the support of three-fourths of voters in noemplz compared to 18% for biden, and 80% of iowa democrats and 94% of democrats in new hampshire have a favorable view of hillary clinton. vice president joe biden is known for candor, and yesterday in speaking to a young liberal crowd, he acknowledged hope and change he and president obama talked about in 2008 had yet come to fruition. >> look, folks, this is within our power to change. everybody says because we tried in 2008, and it did not happen, it's not possible. wrong. we've gone through these periods before. we've gone through these periods. >> more and more people say immigration is the nation's most pressing issue, the highest in a decade. they say it's a bigger problem than the government, the economy, and even unemployment. plans to address the influx shows little sign of traction as

it is a state with a conservative christian base, can chris christie sell himself?ys it won't be a problem. >> i tell them what i think and everyone else gets to decide. they don't go in there and say if you conservative or liberal enough or moderate enough. they say do i trust him. can i count on him to tell me the truth? is he somebody who can actually be a competent steward of our country's future? >> i think maggie, that's a pretty good general election synopsis how voters think. is it a good synopsis how the base in iowa and south carolina thinks? >> no, as i was listening to him, some people think that and some people also think are you conservative enough. this was an important trip for christie, it got a on it of media attention, the first one he is stepping back out there beyond in his rga role but he's been to new hampshire before this year, but this was the one that got a lot of attention, and i think it was important because there say feeling that bridgegate has sort of receded, the traffic lane closure scandal. >> we tend to judge campaigns by the last

>>> plus, a republican gubernatorial candidate throws a bombshell accusation at chris christie. >>> amidst this week's obamacare chaos -- >> obamacare is made of people! ahh! >> -- we've got a supreme court shocker that everyone else missed. "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening, from new york. i'm chris hayes. tensions are enormously high in the west bank at this moment. as the israeli/palestinian conflict seems headed toward an even greater escalation. these scenes you are seeing are thousands of palestinians marching in what's being described by israeli radio as the largest such protest in a decade. they started in ramallah in the west bank which falls under the control of the palestinian authority and marched toward jerusalem which is under israeli roll. until now, the palestine authority has largely suppressed street protests like what you're seeing. two protesters were already killed today. the crowds have marched on all the way to the checkpoint between the west bank and jerusalem. a checkpoint heavily manned by israeli defense forces and right now there are reports of gunfire

that makes chris christie most recent evolution pretty remarkable because chris christie has now beenonly a politician like chris christie could, by not letting anyone know what he thinks. now, why would that be the case? the story, coming up. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business. i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo

chris christie basically 50/50.down and rand paul 50/50 and marco 50/50. >> those are the first column is iowa. the second column is new hampshire. these are the unfavorable ratings. >> thank you. >> actually, you want to be, what, toward the bottom of that list actually. >> i'm sorry. but you look at -- they are all clumped up. >> they are all clumped up. part of the problem for a lot of them is the fact that they are out of the united states senate and republican primary voters across the country, they are so dissatisfied with washington. they can't stand the institution of government in the country. i think it's enormously difficult for anybody -- >> is there any chance a senator is going to get the nomination? >> in my view, no. no chance. >> does anybody think that? gene, do you think a senator is going to get a nomination? >> you know, i can't -- i doubt it. i doubt it. just because of the senators who are trying to get the nomination because i don't think any -- >> steve, are we missing anyone? we look at tha

they've been getting away with finance murder against the treasuries for years, and now i, chris christie, am saving the day. what is the counterdepiction to what is occurring here? >> well, good politics and terrible policy. this is thievery. the headline in my column is "governor christie embraces theft." that's what's going on here. imagine you yo open up your paycheck next week and half the money is there and your boss says oh, promises were made that can't be kept, welcome to the real world. if the governor wants to negotiate lower earned benefits, that's one thing. but this is immoral. you have a contract that you have to honor, like it or not. this is just a subtle delayed form of stealing wages from people who did the work they were hired to do and earned benefits for their old age. >> because clearly, brian, if you had told them in the original negotiation of these packages, look, the retirement benefits we may not pay, they would have said oh, wait, then switched that into our current paychecks, put it into my paycheck instead of my retirement account, since you eastern not goin

an important trip for chris christie off the trip to iowa. has a big network in new hampshire, a former adviser is managing scott brown's senate campai campaign. another is the executive drek tr for the new hampshire gop. christie will try to build relationships and get momentum. >> we'll watch those numbers. >> we didn't talk about what rand paul said about education. it's an area he's not alone. last week, we heard scott walker governor in wisconsin, paul ryan house budget, chairman, among others, bobby jindal. republicans are picking up this issue. getting ready to go home and head to their districts. we are looking at how much it can have an impact. the districts 100 days away from 2014 and looking forward to 2016 as well. >> thank you. a prominent massachusetts democrat adding road stops in 2014 to get some to begin to wonder if there's wiggle room and a promise not to run. i'm not talking elizabeth warren. deval patrick is in maine and circling back to new hampshire. he may had a few more stops down the road. i talked to the governor no

so is chris christie qualified to speak on foreign policy?ified to speak on foreign policy. what struck me, he criticized the president, and was asked, would you send troops? and then he said, that is the president's decision. frankly, i don't want him to be president. >> well, ari, is this a big indication in your mind that the governor has 2016 ambition? you say he will never be preside president. >> chris christie has had ambitions all along, you got a guy like chris christie in new jersey, his bullying works well. he will run into republican voters that disagree with him, that will not play well, regardless of what you think of his policies his policies will not work in iowa. >> let's play a game of make-believe. let's for a second imagine a world with chris christie. >> you're scaring me. >> how do you think his tough-guy style would play in the international diplomatic field? >> i don't think it would work and i don't think he would do it and i don't think it would be realistic. to have, you can be bellicose and push people around as go

this is the way you get bogged down in these things. >> can chris christie stand on a debate stage in iowa with probably marco rubio, rand paul, ted cruz, maybe rick santorum. we haven't heard yes or no from mike huckabee, say i'm not going to get bogged down talking about what the supreme court says is pivotal to the republican case? >> hillary talked about democrats like this issue so much more than republicans. it's so telling that christie does not want to take a position on this. you see that with so many republican candidates, back in 2012 a lot of republican candidates thought they had a winning argument in this idea of religious liberty. religion is popular. turns out birth control is more popular and democrats have become very skilled at putting this argument on their terms and convincing people that republicans are trying to take away your birth control and we have seen republicans from cory gardner in colorado to chris christie becoming very uncomfortable getting anywhere near this subject. >> this isn't the first time chris christie's used that argument on a social issue.

>> chris christie gain not only popularity in new jersey but nationwide.ow we find out about an $800 million gap in the punch and fun and on top of that the economic growth in new jersey is still white weak and lethargic and the whole chris christie thing, forget about bridge the. he didn't deliver on what he promised as a politician. >> those are not running riot as governors want to go back. >> i think it's hard to argue the situation in new jersey is better than it was. you have to look at where he was when he first came into office. we had a republican elected governor in new jersey and how did that happen and so he came in at a very difficult time and so the economy and everything is in better shape now than when he came to office. neil: the question is if he gets the credit. but i know what you are saying with the overall economic activity and your quite right. but the argument has always been in his favor that he is very serious and of course he was doing the same thing that he blasted his predecessors were doing. >> in other words of taking it head

so i just wondered why would chris christie be in town. we put a call in to his folks and he said he was invited to the tech conference, even though no one had seen hide nor hair of him. the other guy that is here, just to draw the circle closed, is ken langon, the former -- one of the founders of home depot, -- not a tech maven, and has people talking. so is chris christie coming here to says money and see if this -- every tech mogul, rupert murdoch -- if christie is coming to this place to test the watere if there's appetite for him to run? these are the people he would turn to for money. they know not answered our question whether this is a fundraising visit. which is whether he was meeting with zuckerberg -- their wives were there as well -- whether that as fundraising visit but some people are are are talking he is here for the money, langon is here, and despite all the political stuff with chris christie, bridgegate, that he is holding out hope that maybe this crowd will go -- this crowd is know tierously, except for a few -- notorio

for us, let's do this together so we don't all drown. >> the fact that detroit did this helps chris christie christie, scott walker and people like this get right so to speak. neil: they can point back. >> another thing is there's nothing like negotiating either you take these cuts or you get nothing. either they did this or in jeopardy of getting absolutely nothing. there was not a lot of back-and-forth but there is this or nothing. [laughter] neil: those talks that resonate does it call into question their best-- are behind them and move on? >> i don't believe that. i am an optimist like ronald reagan looking at a nationwide perspective and union membership has been falling by 20 percent now is that 11 percent that most that is private sector but public sector holds a strong so whether chris christie or scott walker can capitalize but too much union bashing despite the drop of membership 51% still have a favorable view that they are necessary. but the approach that she recommended is to work together not bash them as part of this shared sacrifice. >> i think the article of the economist wi

regina agia was an aide to chris christie.>>> meanwhile, christie's job approval ratings have stabilized after a steep decline in the wake of a scandal. a monmouth university/asbury park press poll puts his approval rating at 50%. christie's approval rating is down 15% since december, the month the scandal broke. >>> police in connecticut are cracking down on drivers who are using fake license plates. they company the temporary plates which are usually issued when someone buys a car and laminate them. the fake plates means there's no record of the car. if someone reports a car in a crime of an accident, police can't track it down. >>> the entrance at park avenue and east 42nd street was dedicated to the former first lady yesterday, jacqueline kennedy onassis. her efforts saved grand central from having a 53-story tower built on top of it. >>> ten minutes until 6:00. >> i was following an accident on 95 southbound near the airport. that just cleared. you're good to go in that area. this is 95 near cottman avenue. drive times lo

look at chris christie. these are unfavorable ratings just from republican voters. istie comes in with the highest unfavorable rating. so among republicans with both -- in both iowa and new hampshire. almost double anybody else that we tested. it's the yellow flag here when it comes to chris christie because conservatives have never been enaturmored with christie. this is a hurdle that i can't envision how he gets over. but the other piece of news is this. rand paul, you noted the matchup with hillary clinton that they were tied. he's the strongest republican against hillary clinton in iowa and new hampshire. the most popular republican we tested. this is currently your republican frontrunner for 2016. >> all right. there it is. thank you, chuck. >>> much more coming up on the 2016 presidential call it a pre-race maybe on the "today" show starting at 7:00 a.m.. >>> changes to the marijuana laws go into effect today. but d.c. leaders emphasize in no way does it mean marijuana is legal. derrick ward joining us live in dupont circle with the changes you need to know abo
