and so we got chris christie on speaker phone.ter ] >> i've been on this is my second time on. chris has been on. he's been singing bruce springsteen and all this kind ostuff. i wanted him to know that finally i got the privilege to sit on your chair. >> jimmy: yeah. yeah, now -- please. you're here now. i was just -- thst week you were all ove news. and i was watching it and i was like, "oh, my gosh." i wondered what was going -- what is going on in your head. what was happening? why were you in the news? for anyone who doesn't know. >> well, obviously the supreme court hearingsave been going on and democrats, we've been very frustrated, because about 90% of his work product has not been released. so we haven't been abl scrutinize things. and the stuff we have gotten, about 10% of it -- it's been labeled committee confidential. in otherords, we couldn't even use it in the hearings. and so, wednesday night i just went ahead and used it anyway. and so thursday morning that set the scene for iolot of te and finally i just announced

and i don't have the same faith, do you, what chris christie promises?> look, nicolle, we're seeing the president put his own self-interest over the national interest. now it's going to directly impact national security in the form of releasing publicly the possibility of highly technical sources, methods, human sources, assets, informants. at some point, doj and the fbi is going to have to say no. we're not doing this. we're coming out publicly against it and possibly we could see a resignation attached to that. >> and this is the axios reporting on this topic. republicans in the house intsle and judiciary committees believe the declassification of the carter page documents and the bruce orr documents will taint the trump/russia investigation by showing it was illegitimate to begin with. trump has been hammering the same theme for months. i don't understand why they're still trying to smear robert mueller when he's wracked up guilty pleas from all these people that should have been loyal to trump. >> we had #release the memo a few weeks ago. house repub

the implications for chris christie us to be fueling the who are the whole world economy and he was banks like lehman and door to goldman and all the years issuing paper that allow cheap. crappy door for growth. some chose shrugs off his sprained on a sports injury just a minor setback. nowadays he self employed analyzing financial data streams and writing algorithms that come for example particularly the faults. the analyst shows us some fine footage from back then these are some of the last images taken a few lehman's offices off to bankruptcy. stuff were perceived by camera teams. got together for a final drink on the eve of the banks collapse. or know exactly what was happening. did use came on a saw there had been i saw. their head over the coals and asked or e-mail us to get together so barring a worm i had that i don't remember exactly the name but we all got together but one thing was sure. whatever he wants his boss called me to warn and. he only returned to work a year off to run employment and took a massive pay cut some chez originally from venezuela was determined to stay in

chris christie came out pretty strongly and said this just didn't happen.on. he said they didn't even reach out to me for fact checking. did you? >> i reached out to absolutely everyone. this is at a time they were putting the word out in the white house don't talk to anybody for a book. don't talk to woodward. i've done my due diligence. is this for a book? it is for a book. i'm sorry. we can't talk to you, or somebody would say, yeah, i'll talk to you in a clan des pides way. this goes back to the nixon era. i call them politically calculated survival denials. they are not real. they are a form of the nondenial denial or, you know, people say this didn't happen. this is untrue. that's fine. and then when the truth comes out often years later in an investigation or in memoirs you see that's precisely what happened. >> as specific as people talking to you if this ever goes public, i'm going to have to deny it, bob? >> they don't tell me that but i understand the context. my wife is laughing. this has other reporters, one reporter actually got hives yesterda

we have more denials including chris christie who is mentioned in the book. a number of statements attributed to me and others to me are incorrect. i would have been happy to correct them if mister woodward or any of his staff quoted me for standard fact checking. fair point? >> bob woodward has been criticized as a stenographer as opposed to a journalist. he is so meticulous. my understanding is he taped a lot of conversations. it is interesting when you look at how folks walk back their participation they are not quarreling with any passage. >> some of these are anonymous quotes attributed to someone else. >> this notion that you can rely on what other people said in a room. it is silly. this is not new and he is relying on secondhand sources. >> what this shows is the thing a lot of us early on, a group of people attached to the old regime don't like the fact he is the president to shake things up and wants to stop him. people like gary cohen have been boasting about how they are holding back this crazy president, they don't like it's when they are caught

the spin that comes after the release and you're right, all of these statements from folks like chris christiem rob porter, from others don't really cite specific things they say are wrong or incorrect. they sort of hedge a little bit and say it's mischaracterization or it's painting it in a false light. i think it's largely because it corroborates a lot of other reporting we've seen. it's really difficult at this point to deny it out right. >> let's be clear, this is not a new thing. it's not like we're finding officials denying things that were attributed to them for the first time ever. this is a tactic that officials have gone off the record have used but said things differently on the record for decades. >> what these are and this goes way back to the nixon era, i call them politically calculated survival denials. they are not real. they are form of the non-denial denial or people say this didn't happen, this is untrue. that's fine. when the frootruth comes out ye later in investigations or memoirs you see that's precisely what happened. >> chris. >> this is what they called non-denials d

. >> let's bring in chris christie, the former republican governor of new jersey. we heard they are asking for a fair and thorough investigation. is that a fair request? >> well, yeah. except you tried to ask her to define that and she wouldn't define it. and i think that's part of the problem when information comes out this late in a process. i think the key, george, is going to be, what do the republican members of that committee and of the senate want to have happen? that's what's going to define what's fair and thorough here. the democrats have politicized this tremendously already. they announced they were against judge kavanaugh before he even got on there to testify. >> that's par for the course on both sides. >> that's true, but at this point they can't be seen as credible, especially, you know, senator feinstein's conduct in this is also questionable in terms of the way it was handled. i think it's going to come up to the folks that you saw in the preview there, folks like senator flake, senator corker, senator murkowski, senator collins. what do they cons

chris christie, now an abc news contributor. democratic strategist donna brazil. and tamara keith npr white house correspondent. governor, did this plea deal for manafort and the extent of his cooperation surprise you? >> no. he was facing the rest of his life in jail. in my experience as a prosecutor when someone is facing significant time in jail, their willingness to stay firm becomes much less so. i think we don't know the significance this will be ultimately, jon. only bob mueller does. i said right from the beginning, one of the things that made mueller a serious and dangerous prosecutor is he has not let his operation leak. we don't know what -- is paul il manafort cooperating as other lobbyists from the possibly. is he cooperating against people in the trump campaign? it could be both or either. bob mueller won't let us know. >> he pleaded guilty to conspiracy against the united states of america. it has broad implications. i'm no lawyer. that's why i'm sitting next to you. paul manafort said he would not flip. he's flipped. he's cooperating. if he fails t

more denials including from former new jersey governor chris christie companies mentioned in the book. he says, "a number of the statements attributed to me and to others to me in the woodward book are incorrect. i would've been happy to correct them if mr. woodward or any member of the staff would have called me as a person they were quoting for standard fact-checking." we are point? >> here's the thing i find interesting. bob woodward has been criticized as being almost a stenographer as opposed to a journalist. he is so meticulous. >> shannon: if you are meticulous, why not call people? >> my understanding is he also taped a lot of these conversations. i think it is interesting when you look at how folks are walking back their participation, they are not necessarily specifically quarreling with the particular passage. if there are tapes, leather tapes to speak for themselves. >> shannon: some of these are anonymous quotes. quotes a good reading -- attributing to anonymous. think of this notion that you can rely on people to tell you what was said that other peoplet in the room i kn

you also have secretary mattis, general kelly, chris christie, rob o'neill who said he was mentioned accurate and bob woodward didn't bother to pick up the phone. i think the broader point here is the one that you made in the sense that if chaos means blue-collar jobs growing at the fastest pace in 30 years under president trump, his tax reform, deteriorated ices, deregulation, all these things, americans lives are better off than they were under president obama so that is chaos, i think a lot of americans are going to a race that and be fine with that and i think there's a bigger danger to the media are generally because the continued use of anonymous sources only see so many stories wrong, when there's so much destructive institutions of the media is dangerous. people need to start going on a record if they have any issues. >> marie: we will keep watching the story and be sure to tune in tomorrow when bob woodward himself will be joining dana perino on the daily briefing tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. eastern time. be sure to watch. new word coming from the top administration about a possib

chris christie -- he hugged obama. that was bad. hugging a kid is not bad. some of the comments. they said this was staged, the kid was a plant and they said in puerto rico trump never hugged anybody. he's only hugging this kid because he's white! can you believe that? and melania wasn't even there to wear stilettos, so imagine if that happened, that could have been a huge scandal for that. >> martha: probably never hugged his own kids, all this stuff about his grandchildren. >> the kid is getting therapy after getting hugged by the president. >> martha: it was his idea. he asked for it. this is a high school in michigan. everybody gets excited for the homecoming. the parade, the homecoming queen. but they are going to replace that with an excellence award and excellence award will be given regardless of gender, it's not given to a woman necessarily, it could be given to a boy that it's based on academic excellence. >> listen, they did this because people were nominating on attractive girls to be homecoming queen and that was mean and bullying -- >> martha:

superstorm sandy and even the 2012 election when barack obama went to new jersey and republicanovernor chri christiebig supporter of mitt romney, thanked him publicly for the concern and his compassion he and his administration showed the people of new jersey suffering. on the other side, it was george w. bush's decline as a president in popular support was accelerated by hurricane his apparent indifference, his endorsement mi can of a brown brownie, failed. there's no politics involved in natural disasters. whether red, blue, liberals or conservatives, they look to the federal government for effective, efficient, responsive help. donald trump, when he went to texas after the great storm last year, the first thing he said was what a crowd, what a turoun again, making it about donald trump. >> woodruff: and, david this, comes as there ar polls now and, in fact, a number of polls over te lasfew weeks that are showing some slippage in the president's apprtal ing. we're wary of bringing up polls because we're reminded they're just snapshots that ar we seeing something here. we are officially past labor

. >> and in is partly again what chris christie had to say this morning about all of this. >> it is untenablefor a bunch of reasons. one, because of the president's feelings toward the attorney general which are obvious. but also because we are in the midst of a very serious investigation, and that is being conducted by the justice department and i don't think that the president has an option to the fire jeff sessions right now, because if he did, it would create a political and legal firestorm that he would not be able to endure. >> and so he is clearly trying to get past the mid-terms, but if the mueller investigation is still going on which it likely is, and to fire jeff sessions after the mid-terms would, you know, be -- a major political storm. >> and it would seem like and t attack on the mueller investigation. and look, it is clear what the president wants to accomplish by firing jeff sessions. he wants to find a way to shutdown the mueller investigation and what is less clear if he is able to accomplish that even if he fires sessions, because the ten na k s -- tentacles are so far spr

let's bring in our legal team, dan abrams and sunny hostin as well as chris christie.egin with you. you have questions about judge kavanaugh's credibility from his former classmates right there. it seems clear we're never going to get to the bottom of what exactly happened inside that bedroom in bethesda, maryland back in 1982. the question is how do they go forward? >> when we hear the phrase i believe her but, what does that mean? what it means really is you're saying that the burden is on the people who don't want to support his nomination. meaning you're saying they have to prove it, because if you're saying i kind of believe both of them, which way do i go? it sounds like the direction it's going in now is that's not enough to stop his nomination. >> do you agree with that? >> yeah, i do. i think that's -- in the end, you have to look at the totality of this guy's life and circumstances and qualifications and you do have, i think, a burden of proof to defeat a nomination, especially when he's from the majority party. that's just the political reality of it. you ha

let's look at the law and politics with chris christie, former governor, and sunny hostin, also formerrosecutor. sunny, let me begin with you. dr. blasey ford faces a big decision. there's not going to be an fbi investigation before monday. should she testify or not? >> well, i certainly think her story needs to be heard. i believe that she should testify, but only after an fbi investigation. what is shocking to me actually, george, there is no protocol in place for something like this. no protocol in place when a supreme court nominee or any federal nominee has been accused of sexual assault or sexual harassment. this happened in 1991. there is a blueprint for this. when this anita hill situation happened, bottom line is by bipartisan agreement the fbi investigated. the fbi interviewed anita hill. they interviewed clarence thomas. they had sexual assault and harassment experts testify. some of the same members that are on the committee today were on the committee then. >> i think your analysis -- >> why are they confused about how to proceed? >> your analysis is spot on. it is what ha

let's break it down with chris christie, former governor of new jersey, matt dowd, veteran of the bush white house and, chris, let me begin with you and pick up where cecilia left off. our reporting tracks with a lot of this. a network of people inside the administration who see themselves as reining the president in. >> well, there's no doubt, george, that i've heard those same things during the last year, year and a half. that there are a group of people in the white house, some who are now gone, i think, who saw themselves in that light. so there's no doubt that that portion of it is true, that there are people who are like that. you know, but -- >> how about the portrayal of the president? >> well, listen, you know, that's not been my experience with the president. but, you know, i have a different relationship than some of these folks probably have with him. the bigger issue, though, is how do you get control of this if you're the president? and if you're the white house chief of staff? because the government needs to be run. and now, if we're going off on a leak investigation, i

now we have to see him talk about personal stuff whereas chris christie said on sunday with george stephanopouloshe go back to the circuit of appeals? steve: that's a great question. ax gross writes about it this way regarding the dynamic and what's going on. virtually the entire democratic party believing the republican nominee from the supreme court was a predator. virtually the entire republican party two people making up that they were victims of attempted rape or sexual humiliation about who actually did it the next public hearing to air all of this is going to be on thursday. be smart, they write: democracy isn't just messy, it's dirty and getting dirtier and that's essentially what lindsey graham says. for them to complain about the process is like an ar arsonist complaining about a fire. this has been the worst low point in the senate for me and that's saying a lot. when it comes to donald trump, there are no boundaries, there are no rules. whatever you need to do to destroy him or his agenda is okay. anna: that's exactly what the left was saying before the very beginning before these acc

of this is, we step outside the demagoguery around it, it's the same guy that marco rubio or chris christiepublicans would have appointed. and i say this as somebody who supported justice sotomayor and keegan, that the presidents should appoint supreme court justices within the broad stream of american juris prude nrnce. merrick garland was not given the hearings that he was appointed to have by the president of the united states re-elected with the majority of the vote in 2012. and so when we look at this hearing, not to mention since he was nominated with the michael cohen indictment, essentially what we have is the president of the united states criminally is an unindicted co-conspirator here. and so the legitimacy is fundamentally in question. this process is profoundly broken. and the idea that the democrats would say, and the argument, it makes no sense that, well, we have a right to see these documents but we're not going to release them to the american people when they could release them to the american people. it's just extraordinary. and i don't understand what the political strat

guest: that happened last year after bridgegate when the beaches were shut done in new jersey and chris christiedecided to good-degovernor of new jersey has a couple of houses, the governor's mansion and a beach house and i think that was ore fourth of july weekend and christie was on the beach with family and friends, and the way we came to doing this -- he was not reading my book but i was on the phone with the guy that does my web site and everything and we're watching this unfold in real-time, and he said to me, you know what governor christie is missing? i said how about a great book, and the said yes photo shopped: what is a amazing only a handful of journalists reached out to me, is this a real picture or photo shopped am it's amazing how many ticket as absolutely legit. in fact there was a writer for the boston herald that absolutely hated christie's gusts and said not only is he on the beach after he shut them down, reading a trash novel. then the guy tags me in his tweet and puts, helling low brad thor, so taking a shot at christie and i guarantee he did out in read "use of force" and
