on their best day, they can do as well as chris christie dies, and he does it consistently. and the guy is a brawler. he is still brawling. bush and romney are just not dollars in part of the reason why romney considered christie as his running mate was he thought he needed a brawler then. i think that's a big issue. >> new jersey does not have the greatest economic story right now. >> it's a disaster for them. >> how much will he have to defend that, go on offense on that or can he go above it? >> you will see opposition research against him saying he could not turn his state around. how can he turn the country around? he has got to hope and pray economic conditions get better while he deals with the legislature. he will have to grapple with the legislature in the spring. >> we are also going to hear from mike pence, scott walker tonight. susana martinez, rick snyder next tuesday. i've easily will be recording them all just as soon as i clear my dvr of the last six seasons of "dating naked," but clearly chris christie is the national coverage. he'll else -- who else will bre

>> i think chris christie is confident and the dynamic of more mainstream players is helpful for christiehe effect of freezing out a lot of donors. there was early enthusiasm for jeb bush. i think romney kind of freezes things to the extent that jeb's early interest spent things up. i think romney slows things down to some degree. it is not a dynamic -- bad dynamic for chris christie. >> let's go to romney. give us a thought bubble. be mitt. what is he thinking? be romney. channel romney. >> this is me though. >> what do you think he is thinking? >> i think romney and the people urging romney to run, or could be a real crackup up in the primary. that crackup would happen late. there would be no obvious front runner. it would be fractured and ugly and the party, the donor community and the party elite, the conservative elite would need a unifying force, a tested, that it, unifying force to come in late -- what happened last week, jeb bush was in town. he met with a lot of donors and was energized. >> in boston as well. >> christie was also in boston. he met with a bunch of donors. i was st

it is governor chris christie in new jersey. [cheers and applause] he and his wife have lived in new jersey all their lives. he was born in newark. in 2001, chris christie was appointed by governor bush 43 to be a u.s. attorney for new jersey. he began to take on aggressively the corruption that existed within the state at that time and he began the investigations of the corruption. at one stretch he had 130 convictions with zero acquittals. pretty good record. that's a lot of work to get done here and -- done. i first met chris christie when at that time democrats had the majority in the house of representatives, and john conyers was the chairman of the judiciary committee. they decided that chris christie was a likely candidate for governor of new jersey. they wanted to put an end to his political career by putting him up for a political lynching process,. i watched chris christie sit there and give it back to them over and over again with his wife, mary pat, sitting behind him. i never saw him flinch. he give straight answers

chris christie is delivering his annual state of the state address.he president of the united states will speak on cyber security. will private industry cooperate with the government on datasharing? that and more when bloomberg television continues in just a moment. ♪ >> cyber security in the spotlight this week as president obama unveils new proposals ahead of his state of the union address. the president is expected to announce new measures aiming to encourage companies to share information about attacks. will his plan actually work? what are they saying about these measures? >> everyone agrees this is a good thing that cyber security is in the spotlight. it's great that it's a priority. they're glad that obama will focus on think like giving businesses greater immunity and law enforcement greater power to go after these cyber criminals. the proposals he is coming out with art going to work unless businesses are willing to share information. there are plenty of barriers that prevent and deter businesses from coming forward when there are attacks. th

so chris christie and jeb bush or -- are the leviathans of the republican bracket, and scott walker also spoke at the republican meeting a last night, and christie is speaking at this hour, outside of that, is there anyone out where you are? >> well the two guys that we heard were ben carson, and they -- and scott walker, they did find that -- fine but they did not set the room on fire. they were talking about isis and their willingness to die, but the speech did not blow people away, it did not continue the hot streak he has been on with a lot of activists. walker last night at dinner was fine, but did not have an overall national message, but i think that his low-key style plays well to a lot of settings and the room last night, there were a lot of national media outlets, but i don't think anybody left the room upgrading walker's chances. had he been magical and set the room on fire, i think that would have been great, but he did not do it. >> scott walker always reminds me of tim valenti from two years -- four years ago. when you get in the room with him, it is not that he is not a go

greg washburn is very connected and raises a lot of money, and let's not forget that chris christie hadhe home depot founder in his pocket, and so he is really writing an enormous check. >> does christie have a home turf advantage here in new york and on wall street? does christie have an edge there? >> you would think so, but christie has a major problem and that is because he is a sitting governor. a lot of these donors are off the table because he is still in office and there are sec rules about pay to play and who can raise money while they are still in office. >> mark, julie just mention the words that you know very well, pay to play. how much do you think pay to play will affect christie in this cycle? >> this is a potentially huge problem for christie, as well as for woody johnson who may stay loyal to romney and whom he ran finance for last time. what is the status of the building of that operation as they start to wrap up on the finance side of the personnel? >> they are definitely hiring people they are looking for donors for the super pac, and would be campaigners and he talk

there are a lot of problems for chris christie. i just can't help but think he is looking at those donors who mitt romney would have locked up. they are at least available to him. he has got to be happy. >> he is going to get psalm but -- get psalm -- get some bot jeb bush is going to get more of them. >> we have more to the poll, check it out on bloomberg politics. >> enough about mitt romney for today. this next topic is brought to you by money. from february 28 of this year to october 1, there are five key deadlines for the fiscal fight that could get messy from both ends of pennsylvania avenue. last night, one of the huffington post most prominent bloggers, barack obama, wants to spend the money. he wants to end the automatic budget cuts and jack up spending by 7%. he made his case to house democrats. guess who is going to hate this? every republican. in these looming fights over the debt ceiling, funding homeland security, etc., which party is better position to win these fights? >> i would have said before this morning, the p

new jersey governor chris christie is having another tough week.ossible ethics inquiry into mr. to dallas, the dallas cowboys game last weekend. why? because cowboys team owner jerry jones paid for it. a lot of fun has been made of this, this horribly awkward hog -- >> i can't. -- this horribly awkward hug -- >> i can't. a swing and a miss, high-five. one of these. so gnarly. >> jeb roche, the former florida governor is looking more and more like a presidential candidate. chris christie, you have to decide whether you are going to run for president because we have to know whether to allocate the box. julie, how much of a problem is this that jeb bush is getting into campaign care when chris christie's doing a lot of other stuff a nonevent campaigning. >> it is a huge problem. chris christie is not having a good january and that is putting it mildly. he has all sorts of pr problems right now. the biggest one is jeb bush. bush got out of the gate first, and that sends a strong signal to donors who would be likely to give to a bush or christie candida

there are problems for chris christie. i just can't help but think he is looking at those donors who mitt romney would have locked up. he has got to be happy. >> jeb bush is going to get more of them. >> we have more to the poll, check it out on bloomberg politics. >> enough about mitt romney for today. this next topic is brought to you by money. from there. 28 of this year to october 1 there are five key deadlines for the fiscal fight they could get messy. last night, one of the huffington post most prominent blah bloggers, barack obama, wants to spend the money. he wants to jack of spending by 7%, make his case two houston mcbride's pre-is going to hate this? every republican. in these limning fights over the debt ceiling which party is better position to win these fights? >> i would have said before this morning, the president had the upper hand here. i have to say today's economic numbers, the gdp growth 2.6% for the fourth quarter. down from 5%. a lot of economists thought it was going to be over three. those are disa

to be about. >> well-teased, peter moscos, thank you uch many. >>> in light of all the grief, chris christie with unapologetic love. i'm going to present the rules of sports fandom next. christie, you may have seen that image because he's getting a lot of flak for last night's performance after the deciding play that sealed the cowboys' victory, the camera captured this moment in the box of team owner jerry jones. now, much ridicule has been directed at christie for the awkward-missed high-five and the orange sweater which apparently has been his good luck charm that he's worn to every one of the last five cowboys games he's attended. well, as well as the questionable etices of accept ig lucrative gifts from jerry jones, who is a whole other story. but the most scurrilous charge that i stand here today is for being a traitor. for rooting for the dallas cowboys as opposed to the jets or giants who play in his native, new jersey. a little over a year aduo, contraction hristie explained his cowboys' fandom this way. >> my father was a giant's fan. i remember watching them when i was 8, 9 years

when i think about chris christie, people respect him for telling the truth.is a straight shooter, and of course, some people who've got accents like i do maybe think that jersey boy has to be cautious. the fact is, when he comes down south, when he goes to the midwest, he's extremely well received. people like him. they think he is refreshing. >> what you put in that blank the pope? would that be disqualifying? [laughter] >> don't ask a presbyterian something like that. >> governor haley barbour, thank you for doing this. we will be right back. ♪ >> george pataki rocked the political world today with a new super pac, and its name is "we the people, not washington." that may seem like a strange odd, tactical thing, but as matt negra and explains, if you are going to start a super pac, the name is the thing. >> first of all, congratulations on your new super pac. raising a super pac is like raising a child. it won't be successful unless you come up with a good name. there are lots of super pac's out there, and unfortunately most of the good names haven't taken,

how much damage, if any, has chris christie done to any presidential aspirations? >> probably not much. we are a year away from the first caucus, and between now and then republicans are going to have all kinds of things to make their decisions about but these kinds of things do become symbolic of whatever it is they ultimately think about chris christie, so we are still like throw hear about the sky box snuggle again. >> axelrod: so let's move to another big republican name, mitt romney now seems to be considering another run. he did not get the nomination in 2008, didn't win the election in 2012. is he, does he still yet he still seems a credible candidate in some circles. >> in some circles particularly those who are part of the big fund-raising network he worked hard for republican candidates in the 2014, 2014 theable elections and that improved his reputation in the party and conservatives who are at the core of the party are still september cal about him, he had trouble articulating a message in past campaigns and this time he would have competition from chri

however, some think christie may have crossed the line with recent gifts from jerry jones. chris. >> reporter: easy looked over in that skybox celebration is a simple question -- who paid for christie to have the best seat in the house? >> he should be rooting for the giants or the jets but not the cowboys. i hay the cowboys. >> reporter: football 'liegeance aside new jersey citizens might like to know their governor's trip to a billionaire suite, including ticket and transportation was paid for by the billionaire jerry jones himself. it does raise ethics questions. according to new jersey's uniform ethics code there is a zero-tolerance policy for state officials accepting gifts, but christie's office justified this gift citing at code it says that gifts are okay if they come from relatives or personal frets. rutgers politics professor says ethics efforts have long struggled to define friendship. >> some decisions have been made by friendship is basically has to be reciprocal that it's fine if a friend takes you out to dinner and you have a receipt from that as long as you take t

. >> let's look at chris christie. if you are looking at a number two it was chris christie.lay a sound bite. >> if i was too blunt, too direct, too new jersey for iowa, then why do people keep inviting me back? you will always know who i am. you always know what i believe and you always know where i stand. >> someone said to me earlier that this is less about chris christie in his speech and more about steve king, to your point, introducing him and welcoming him and blessing him and sending the message that he may not be the moderate that so many of the pundits make him out to be. >> i think not only not the moderate, but -- i hate to use the word bully. i do not know him, i met him once and he was charming but people talk about him being a bully and i thought he came across explaining that he is direct and tough but maybe we need direct in tough and he is not this evil, mean guy. >> what did you think? >> i thought it was smart of him to have a sense of humor and show it on display. we are used to the chris christie finger-pointing and getting loud with his voice and this s

he's to the right of chris christie.nd he's probably -- he can position himself if he wants to the right of mitt romney because you're they have quite sure where romney is positioned. but there's a question about him. he has won a lot of campaigns, but you just wonder what's the depth there? does that sort of last? how do these scandals, sort of scandals that have never quite gotten there in terms of campaign finance do those heat up? the connection to the koch brothers, maybe that helps him in republican primaries. i think there are some vulnerabilities there. he's the remainder guy in this race just like tim pawlenty. >> if i could. if the ethics stuff, the question marks around that if that doesn't heat up more i don't think the stuff that's come out so far is going to be hard for him to overcome. i think there's a bigger question about how he's done in terms of jobs in the state of wisconsin, it's ranked somewhere around 35th in terms of job creation. so his record in terms of growth and trying to run on that is not

and, chris christie, he's suffered, too. prapsz perhaps no team in the nfl have created more heart ache in recent years. a team that has a knack to possible excellence only to revert to immediate i don't care raty when it counts. christi has said so mooims e himts. >> when the cowboys are losing, the last team of the year the last three seasons, not to make the playoffs from's nobody getting on social media giving me a hard time about being a cowboys fan. >> now, if christie had suddenly abandoned the cowboys, that could be overted. so to chris christie's haters on this point, back off. i firmly and proudly stand with chris christi. his brother, todd who took to face book who said all of those non-cowboys fans have have their jerseys in a ringer, get a life. that's as far as the fandom concerns go. i will also say this. if you're thinking of who you want to hand the nuclear football to, i think it's totally fair and e and reasonable to take this scene into acount. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or

running for governor, the democrats teams up with democratic congressmen to have hearings over chris christie. john ashcroft had been the attorney general. chris ti put on his show he left and stormed out. during that whole soap opera, he formed an unlikely bond with steve king. this is sort of the ultimate test of what is his strategy to get the nomination. they are at a history at odds. what the chris christie people believe is that the power of his personality is so strong and compelling to republicans who would normally call him in rhino, they will start working back wards and excusing it. they don't think they can be the candidate of steve king. what they're going for is the steve king will not condemn chris christie. >> so what they want to be maybe, in the slotting that is happening with figuring that are very popular and competition for big money donor. chris christie put in the work of building these relationships with the value day tors. >> he does not want the base to be saying that is the traitor, the guy we have to stop. >> there is something about, i said today when we were talk

and everyone remembers the hug between governor chris christie and president obama after hurricane sandy. that, many pembo lived, was sort of the death knell for christie for quite some time. what do you think? >> i disagree with that. i think that was a great hug. this hug doesn't matter much and the hurricane sandy hug mattered in all the right ways. chris christie was acknowledging what president obama had done for his home state, which he cares passionately about. i mean to doubt chris christie's new jerseyness i think is a bit ridiculous with his effusive springsteen love all the time and things like that he likes the cowboys, i guess is fine. but i think that to analyze important, but this image will matter far less even than then we harkin back to that 2012 hug. let me get your take on this david work regard to jeb bush now, have this big fund-raiser, i guess kicking off his presidential bid in greenwich connecticut, happen on wednesday. what do you make of it? >> smart candidates start with their families to raise money. and he is going to the home of his cousin to start raising

a lot of people think it's chris christie or jeb bush, in the event, by the way, it is chris christien for president and even when will have to give up look at who is the backup guy. >> he has the highest name recognition in the state and it's not just me. i talk to a lot of powerful people and i know a lot of people and that is how they work and they all mention it in terms of this. so you could be the entertainment at your own inauguration. [laughter] neil: day one. i remember like it was yesterday. [laughter] neil: what do you think? [laughter] >> well, we are so lucky. jon bon jovi, bruce springsteen, they help out. neil: you are already running. what do you think that all of a sudden the whole mitt romney thing has changed? we joke but not too much about how it changes the possible races in new jersey and how one guy leading the presidential contest was part of >> for the country as a whole it most certainly does and i think part of why it that he has something or and we are looking for someone who's not going to walk on in. i think that john kasich has this here. but joe represe

and, chris christie, he's suffered, too. perhaps no team in the nfl have created more heart ache in recent years than the cowboys have. a team that has a knack to possible excellence only to revert to mediocrity when it counts. chris christie said so himself. >> when the cowboys are losing, the last team of the year, the last three seasons, not to make the playoffs, from's nobody getting on social media giving me a hard time about being a cowboys fan. >> now, if christie had suddenly abandoned the cowboys, you could hurl all the invective you want. so to chris christie's haters on this point, back off. i firmly and proudly stand with chris christi. and also at least in general spirit, though not in specific word choice his brother todd who somewhat questionably took to facebook to say, all those non-cowboys fans who have their panties in a ringer because the governor is a cowboys fan, get a life. i will also say this -- if you're thinking of who you want to hand the nuclear football to i think it's totally fair and reasonabl
