and then he has to say frankly what chris christie just said.out and use the strongest language possible to describe these attacks and he hasn't. he has just so far tried to explain away his participation in it or america's participation in it. >> but let me ask you, when you listen to the president's words, there's no question they are conciliatory towards vladimir putin, but if you look at what he has actually done, what his administration has actually done, you could certainly make a strong case that he's been tougher than the obama administration, look, selling lethal weapons to ukraine which obama refused to do. 60 russian diplomats expelled following the poison attack in the uk. imposing sanctions the treasury department had to impose on 213 russian-related entities and, of course, air strikes twice against syria. another thing that the obama administration stopped short of. can't you argue based on the facts that he's pretty tough on russia? his administration has been tough on russia? >> his record is admittedly very muddled but let's al

chris christie, i want to start with you. you just heard what senator collins said.o important. she said she could not support anyone who wanted to overturn roe v. wade. >> well listen, i think that everyone is going to have their own view on this and i don't think you're going to have anybody who's going to be that outright about giving their opinion on that case or any other case. so senator collins is going to have to do what every other senator is going to have to do which is look back at the person's record as a judge on the bench for any kind of long period of time, look at their record and writings and everything else and try to figure out what they think might happen. i think in the end what the president is most likely to do is to pick someone who he believes takes the right type of judicial approach but has a judicial temperament that's going to be very difficult to attack. >> it doesn't seem there's any indication that he's going to choose someone who's more moderate like justice kennedy. >> i don't think so. by the way, i kind of ugh about this a little b

what happened to chris christy?mean, i think he -- i know chris well enough to think that he believes now what he is saying. and he is a supporter of the -- of the republican president. i think it goes that far. and i think at some point he was hoping for a little higher position than he's been able to get there. but even so, he is -- >> higher than nothing? >> higher than nothing, yes. i think he was hoping -- >> you didn't say it, i said it. >> you said it. >> he has no position. >> he has no position. i was hoping he was going to have a position. but also, it's because he's a loyal republican. i mean, there are people who will tell you that -- well, some of the e-mails that i've gotten and tweets, postings since that op-ed have been anatomically challenging, shall we say. but the language used, which is really too bad, well it's 70/30 in favor, versus against. but -- and there have been a few of those who are against who are thoughtful, whose positions i understand, i get it, i respect them. the rest of them, it'

in 2012 i wrote chris christie better run for president quickly or he will flame out and that was before bridging . there's been plenty i've gotten wrong. i once entertained a conspiracy theory about the bombing of the morrow building in new york city. i was convinced they had support from the iraqis. my first reaction to the citizens united case was positive. and ladies and gentlemen, i said many times in print, radio and television donald trump would never run, much less win the presidency of the united states. here's something about writing a weekly column. you have to weigh in on everything. women and what their tattoos to say,what to build at ground zero,kids in their trophies , scandal at church . even the zoo balloon. i was never a fan. too many delays attributable to the balloon. the boy scouts, carry shiloh's end-of-life. summer jobs. permitting the barnes foundation to move into the city and what's the best location for the rizzo statue. i've weighed in onall of it and there are some things i have no idea what i was thinking . what does that even mean? i once took umbrage with

. >> what i saw, i think he is to putin what chris christie wanted to be a to bruce springsteen.and attracts him. putin has been able to get total authority and that's what trump wants. i saw a man that completely disregards people who are not only opponents, but his closest aides about what to say because he has a reality that he creates every day from inside of his own head, it has nothing to do with what is going on outside. he says this is the way the world is, but it is not how the world is. >> there was an attempted walk back. he went out to accomplish something. he has done that for, but only very rarely. after charlottesville he had to, and "the access hollywood" tape. you know him, you know his head, what are trigger points for him to go out and try to correct something? >> you're going to lose your base, lose the people keeping you in office and above water. that felt compelling enough for him to do what i would call a highly inauthentic walk back. he very purposely read the document in a way to make you feel that he was reading something, not saying something he actual

just ask chris christie and carly fiorina and ted cruz where a trump impression got them in 2016 becausewas in the white house. when kirsten gillibrand tweets, i know how hard things feel now, we have faced challenges before and we overcame them. if you do the work and keep believing, we will win. this nonsense says nothing, but its emptiness betrays a lack of strategy or vision. the on way the press will pay attention to this race is when the women in the hunt continue on each other and it becomes a bloodbath. that's sad and a recipe for defeat. according to the "washington post." this never makes me so happy. 35 democrats considering a presidential run in 2020. i can't even count that high. will any of them come up with an actual strategy to win or just eat each other alive and give the president a lay-up to another term. joining me, dennis miller. >> i would caution you not to use the word recipe when talking about female candidate. they will come down on you for stereo typical accusations. kennedy: they should be in the kitchen, these products. it was that narrow a victory for him. i

chris christie today said that the case is remarkably important for the credibility of bob mueller. do you see this as a big test for bob mueller? >> i think it is a test for bob mueller. you know, you have to remember, there are 12 jurors here, regular, everyday people. it only takes one of them to hang this case. you never know what happens in a trial and in the jury room. i wouldn't say it's a terrible thing for mueller if he doesn't get his conviction here. they can always try it again if it's a hung jury. it's a big test for mueller. but you do have to remember, there's a crap shoot with who the jury is. we have to suspend judgement and see how it goes. all of this is happening in the public eye. ifoverwhelming, that's going to show the mueller team has done a good job and they brought a powerful case. it's not 100% about what happens when the verdict comes back. >> i mean, i asked this of chris on the political front. from the legal side, this trial isn't about any russia collusion on its face. right? rudy giuliani very clearly wanted to make the case yesterday that he does no

in 2012, republicans were begging chris christie to run. he didn't.ose to run in 2016, and his moment has passed. i think it's the same for elizabeth warren. in 2016, she would've had the left-wingers alfred she would have eclipsed bernie sanders. she decided to endorse hillary clinton, and others so much energy and attention on the left that her time has probably passed. >> greg: i think you neglected to point out "new york magazine," that is their comedy issue. once he or they do it. they have all the stuff written by the at "time" magazine. this is why the focus is going to be on ousting trump. they have nothing to beat him with but himself. that's why they've been shouting about impeachment. rather than compete against him, they would rather flip the board over, turn it over because he's beating them in monopoly. >> dana: it's so true. he will make it a choice, not a referendum. you could have a sitting president overseeing a roaring economy or you could have someone who believes in socialism. >> greg: >> greg: comey told des you have to get a gri

abc news contributor and former governor chris christie explains why on gma. >> inthn virginia, withey don't know how it's going to play. they're going to about the fact they want it to be about the facts they developed about paul manafort. >> robert mueller brought on the charges while investigating russian meddling in the 2016 election. >> all right, did you feel it? a 3.6 magnitude earthquake shook the north bay yesterday. >> the epicenter was located 7 1/2 miles below san pablo bay. the usgs said if was the largest of the smallest quakes they have seen in 20 years. residents of black point said they felt it. >> it was louder than moving furniture. >> i sat down it was like i loo outside to see if my car had hit the house. >> no damage reported here. there was an aftershock about an hour and a half later, but it registers only as a magnitude one, which is too small for people to notice. >> you're never more than seven minutes away from my forecast. temperatures in the south bay, mid to upper 50s in most neighborhoods. downtown san jose, 62. los gatos about 74. most of the bay shor

. >> bob, do you think that chris christie is given us a window of president trump's friends and allies? >> reporter: in a sense he has. that line comes from one of my favorite tv shows, "the wire." if you come at the king, you better not mess. what's going to be so vealing about this trial, yes, it's about document, manafort's finances. what does manafort's finances tell us about his conduct during the 2016 presidential campaign. what kind of financial pressure was he under and what kind of actions did he tyake with forein officials, with foreign bankers during the time he was working on a federal campaign. >> what do you make of that, the idea of pressure that paul manafort might have been under there? >> a lot of people are bringing up the fact there's to cooperation, why hasn't he cooperated yet? i think the key to remember is the government doesn't always offer plea deals. they don't always want to cooperate with people that they are prosecuting. they may have everything they need in form of cooperation of rick gates, we have no idea what they are going to say in terms of evidence

i mean on that list he had newt gingrich, chris christie who was persona non grata at that time. he even had michael flynn on that list for a while no matter times people told him to get him off the list. and something i thought that wao ascinating is that his top vetting lawyer said he is quote it terrifies him that there's no f.b.i. vetting for vice presidents or presidents. >> woodruff: there's also there were also stories about joe biden. >> yeah, i mean, when i talkeds to biden, i ally struck first of all that he talks toe mike penceid at least once inmonth and that when foreign leaders like theof jordan, like the greek prime minister co to the u.s. and when hehe travels meets with them and he ss, "if you have an issue talk to mike pence, don't talk to president trump." he says that mike pence is someone you can al with in the way that bill clinton dealt with newt gingrich-- someone you could work with. >> woodruff: why have no vice presidents you pointhis out since george h.w. bush been elected president? theories? >> i just think it depends entirely on the president. and i

chris christie's in the remco two. he's working with trump at that time.has no impact on all, none on trump, none of the campaign. they continue for weeks afterwards and even after that statement comes out in early october, says it's a hoax, making this up, it's not happening. one thing we do say in the book, a little a bit of editorializis for at least coming to a conclusion is that if you look at what trump is saying at this point in the campaign onward toward the election day, in a way he is aiding and abetting the russian effort. we don't with this in the book the way i like to think of it is, and might think of it generally, if you are in front of the bank and you are told that the robbery going on in the bank and people walking past you and you keep saying, there's no robbery here. that only can help the bank robbers. people go on about collusion i doubt very much donald trump had a meeting with russian agents and figured out what documents to steal by hacking and two released by wikileaks, but this is a kind of cooperative arrangement where he's com

abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams and former new jersey governor and federal prosecutor chris christie, an abc news contributor. dan, i want to start with you. trump has officially severed the relationship with cohen. he was paying for cohen's legal defense, sharing information but no longer. his lawyer, rudy giuliani, telling abc, we wouldn't consider it in our best interest to share confidential information with them and they would feel the same way. what does this all mean to you, dan? >> well look, the fact that they are now no longer sharing information is not a surprise. this has been in the works for many weeks. it is clear now that michael cohen is on his own here. it's also clear that he potentially has information to provide to robert mueller. but let's be clear, he's being investigated by the southern district of new york which is a separate entity investigating michael cohen. he doesn't have a deal right now with robert mueller. we don't know if he's going to have a deal with robert mueller. as a result, we don't know exactly what he's going to offer to robert mueller. but,

. >> want to bring in dan abrams and chris christie. let's start, dan, for the sake of argument, assume what michael cohen is claiming is true and that mueller has evidence to back it up, that president trump had advanced knowledge of that meeting. what would it mean? >> it could mean potential legal problems. we talk about collusion. collusion in and of itself isn't a crime. you have to be able to show a conspiracy. you know, could they make a case based on that? yeah, they could. when you're talking about this, this is the heart of the entire investigation which is potential connections with the russians. it's not just mike cone. it's donald jr.'s evolving statements about why the meeting was set up and afterwards what happened. it's donald trump himself's own statements and tweets about hillary clinton and potentially damaging information. it's everything around this. you put that in conjunction with what michael cohen said and you have a potential problem. again, let's not forget that most people believed that robert a siinpr this w

the mission, led by former republican governor chris christie, said, and i quote here, the first and most urgent recommendation of this commission is direct and completely within your control, declare a national emergency. but the president dragged his feet. while he twiddled his thumbs, thousands of americans continued to die from drug overdoses. over 115 people a day. finally, in october, 2017, the president formally declared what we already knew, that the crisis was a public health emergency worthy of federal action. the first declaration that the president issued lasted for 90 days, but during those 90 days, nothing changed. the president didn't take action, and americans continued to suffer, and more people died day after day after day. on january 24, 2018, the first emergency declaration expired, so the president had his h.h.s. secretary sign a second one. then before another 90 days ran out on april 24, the administration signed a third one. yesterday, another 90 days later, on july 24, 2018, we began the fourth competitive period of public health emergency due to the opioid c
