if you were a person named chris christie and there's a political action group called stop chris christie would be a good thing. except in this case maybe not. because the stop chris christie pack wrote back explaining why exactly they were shutting themselves down. their explanation to the fec is that they are shutting themselves down because chris christie is not worth trying to stop anymore. because chris christie is stopped. he is no longer going as a presidential candidate. this is from their letter to the fec. quote. our decision to cease and desist as a pac is not due to your letter. and the miserable candidate in question, chris christie. we believe that he has already stopped without our aid, even if not by the letter of the lawful therefore we intend to stop the stop chris christie pac. it was founded by right wing activists who believe he is insufficiently conservative. they believe there is no risk of chris christie ever winning the republican nomination for president. and they are right. at least with the polling, they are right. that chris christie's polling is truly terribl

first hugely watched debate suggests the other person who may be toast is new jersey governor chris christie governor christie has been at the ragged edge of irrelevance throughout this cam ann year long. not only did he not get a bump out of his debate performance but he dropped even further than he was in the polls. his poll numbers are low enough that if a candidate like carly fiorina continues to do well as she has been in recent poll, carly fiorina may bump chris christie out of the top ten so he will only be at the kids' table debate next month when that debate is hosted by cnn. like rick perry, though, to be fair, it's not totally clear that you can blame the first debate for chris christie's woes. he -- people thought he would be a good debater. he didn't make a splash at all. but negotiation that debate stuff he also has a lot of home state baggage you can't discount. the bridge gate scandal is still following chris christie like cans tied on to his bumper. the criminal trials in the bridge gate scandal are due to start this fall, that can never be too far from his mind on the campa

chris christie will be allowed on stage on thursday.chris christie you have to think this will be key, running the entire campaign on the strength of his personality, his ability to tell it like it is in realtime in front of a crowd. that is his campaign platform. that is why he says he should be president. that means governor christie has -- he had more to lose than almost anyone if he failed to make it onto the debate stage. now that he's made it, he has more to gain than anyone. if he can shine on the debate stage, the booing, the awkwardness on the campaign trail, the deep seated hatred for him at home, that will be seen as the first act in the comeback story of how the naysayers felt and how he showed them all. is he back and can people who know him very well tell any better than the rest of us can? >> joining us is matt katz who has covered governor christie extensively. great to have you here. >> thank you, rachel. >> would it be fair to say that over the last year or so chris christie started to look less and less and less viabl

equal pay vetoed legislation, as this chris christie. that rubio suggested making sure that we can enforce federal law, the equal pay act, was wasting time. of 2woman and a mother daughters, and as a representative of thousands of constituents of my own in south florida, i believe that we need to make sure that we fight not only to support equal pay, but to enforce it. that is what everyone of our presidential candidates believed. let's talk about health care. the important thing for us to focus on over the course of the what isr and a half is the contrast? what are the choices? which candidate or president of the united states is going to be the cornerstones of the middle-class life? what are those? that includes making sure that you have a good roof over your head. that makes sure that you have maintain you access to quality affordable health care. you get a good education. you have a secure retirement. those are all cornerstones of a middle-class life. look at the republican record. the republican record on all of those things, as soo

the print description of that event was bad for chris christie. it was almost too awkward to watch. >> it's my honor to introduce the governor of chris krois stay, the honorable chris christie will be giving the trophy. joel hasher, the president of william hill u.s. will do the honors as well. >> great day for new jersey, new jersey's horse, welcome home, mr. asher. smchlt. [ booing ] >> having a yient stadium full of tens of thousands of people boo you lustily in your home state, that's not good. that's not good even if you're not the governor, but particularly if you're the governor that's not good. in general, things have not been good recently for new jersey governor chris christie on the presidential campaign trail. the booing was over the weekend in new jersey. this morning at a campaign stop in new hampshire, chris christie took his tell it like it is campaign motto and told it maybe way too much like it is. this is 9:30 this morning. watch the guy on the lower left-hand part of your screen. >> for instance, i'm a catholic, but i've used bi

chris christie proposes it returned, carson wants to raise rates. >> is interesting to watch chris christie's decided to make entitlement reform part of the a campaign, began his pension reform in new jersey has been a hot mass. he has been shifting money from this pot to that pot and he hasn't delivered on any of the policies so far the. stossel: let's talk about what we do to keep america safe. rand paul and chris christie thought about this. >> i want to collect more records from terrorists but less on innocent americans. 2 is a completely ridiculous answer. i want to collect more records from terrorists, but less from other people. how are you supposed to know louisiana. >> use the fourth amendment. get a warrant. >> panel? >> i wanted to hear the argument about this and appreciate him going up against chris christie. i thought that chris christie was emotionally manipulative, but i'm rooting for him to bring in some of this discussion. we are a country that exists on a balance between security and if we can't recognize that, we are in deep trouble. >> i think that even rand paul has ma

we saw rand paul going after donald trump and carrying on with chris christie. i think this chris christie versus rand paul tangle we saw will continue and spill out on to future debates. almost certainly. >> i think for anyone who is waking up now and saw the debate, the headlines are marco rubio did well. jeb bush survived and donald trump refuses to pledge allegiance to the republican party. before the ten top republicans, chris, took the stage, there was the happy hour debate with the lowest polling republicans. it did not take long for the trump bashing begin. listen to carly fiorina and rick perry ganging up. >> when you look at the celebrity of donald trump, i think that says a lot. one thing i like to remind people back in 2007, rudy giuliani was leading the polls for almost a year. i'll suggest a part of that was his celebrity. >> i didn't get a phone call from bill clinton before i jumped in the race. did any of you get a phone call from bill clinton? i didn't. maybe it is because i didn't give money to the foundation or donate to his wife's senate cam

before you go the vote chris christie or rand paul. see you monday 7:00 p.m. good night from washington. >>> the o'reilly factor is on. >> our politicians are stupid and the mexican government is much smarter. they send the bad ones over because they don't want to pay for them. why should they when the stupid leaders of the united states will do it for them? >> fighting words from donald trump at the big gop debate. the central question tonight, did he help or hurt himself? we'll have complete analysis. >> i want to collect more records from terrorists but less records from innocent americans. >> that's a completely ridiculous answer. >> confrontation between rand paul and chris christie. senator paul will be here. >> guess what? i just went to a wedding of a friend of mine who happens to be gay. just because somebody thinks differently than i do doesn't mean i can't love them. >> john kasich breaking from the pack on gay rights. the factor begins right now. >> hi. i'm chris wallace. bill o'reilly always told me wallace, you can substitute for me once you brin

john: wise chris christie the best candidate for new hampshire?here are things that distinguish him. his record as the u.s. it turned attorney and being a chief executive and a governor of a blue state. it is different than other governors. having to work with and to opposition with the democratic legislation is good practice for washington. al: you have john sununu in your camp. would he speak about his father? >> we are happy to have him. we cannot win the white house if we don't carry ohio as a party. if you look at what john kasich has done, 86 of 88 counties, that is selling with activists not just the new hampshire but around the country. al: how much time did you spend in iowa? mike: a fair amount of time in iowa. we spent more time in new hampshire, but we will spend a good amount of time and i owa. john: when i saw chris christie up there, he was going to iowa and seeing u2. for as much as he loves u2, iowa must be important. i have a question about trump, just a general question. two months ago, many people in politics thoughts this was

. >> there is a campaign fundraiser for chris christie on tuesday night. mary pat and reduced her husband and said they raised over $1.3 million for the campaign. christie spoke about three things, his past, how he is running for president, everyone was buzzing about the debate. just before the fundraiser started everyone was talking about christie made the top ten for that debate spot. >> [applause]. >> so we now have the republican strategist with us to give us some insight on this debate. >> how was he received in your perception among other republicans about people who make the difference in this primary? >> number one, donald trump a second up all the oxygen right now, i think that that bubble will burst, people will find out that trump was for that horrendous supreme court decision in kilo that was going to take away private property and give it to other folks for economic development. he was pro-choice, he gave money to nancy pelosi and harry reid. if as. if as people find out more about his opposition, i believe he will fall. >> does that help chri

i've met chris christie. this is typical chris christie. this is what he is all the time.your face. i'm not backing down. >> do you like donald trump? >> i do. >> you don't like chris christie. i don't understand. >> you're on to her. >> trump is going to fade and a guy like chris christie is going to fill that vacuum. >> you think so? >> he echos donald trump. he's been a governor and attorney general. >> can you get past the bear hug that rand paul was referring to? >> i certainly can. >> how about bridgegate? >> i don't care. >> how many care about bridgegate? >> you don't live in new jersey. >> that's what i was about to mention, meghan. i think it was a draw because chris christie had bridgegate. that was something he was trying to come out of the shadows of. rand paul as a millennial myself i think the government should be collecting my records en masse. i think you should go get a record for it. in that sense they won something. >> i live a mile from george washington bridge. i commute to george washington university every day. he was great in the debate. it was a m

. >>> and how did governor chris christie do in last night's debate that at times seemed to be all about donald trump? we'll have the local reaction. those stories and much more all-new tonight when sibilia and sibilia. >> all right. >>> there are thousands of cab drivers in new york city, but none of them are quite like this. >> hello. >> hello. >> i should have said cute too. a taxi servi in ireland celebrated its third irthday by pulling its little prank on customers. and the video has gone viral. halo put a 3-year-old boy behind the wheel of a cab. he had people all over dublin doing a double take. so how did they do it? well, there's actually an adult hiding in that seat that the little boy is on top of, and it's controlling the car. the driver -- >> he took all the tips, the kid did. >> oh, yeah. >>> i don't know if you knew this. tomorrow is national bowling day. so what can you get for free to celebrate? find out right now on freebie friday. >> i did not know that. lynda baquero has that and free coffee, plus a free day of valet parking in the city. how is that? >> reporter: the

>> chris christie is going to be seen as more likable here.so even though he can be a painful, he leaned to his right a little bit. and this is evaluating. he's leaning to the right and the left, this is evaluating right then and there. and so chris christie is very interesting. he has no trouble saying that this is the priority. lou: thank you so much, we appreciate it, turkic analysis. coming up next, what social media says for winning tonight's debate. and all over the country on facebook, twitter, on everything. more highlights like this one. >> probably the russian and chinese government know more about hillary clinton's e-mail service in lou: we are back with our panel, including jedediah bila and ed rollins and hank. thank you guys for joining us. so where does this leave us? >> personal i want to give a sense how good the debate was in your estimation and what you expect as a result? >> i thought that was a great debate. they had to get specifics, they were forced to get specifics. and i think that those weaknesses were exposed. he pos

you got into a dust up with new jersey chris christie over entitlements.e says your math doesn't work and you can't save entitlements like medicare and social security without raising the retirement age and cutting some benefits for higher income recipients. >> well i think governor chris christie is a good guy. i understand where he's coming from. the people who are the recipients of medicare and social security they aren't the ones who screwed this up. the government did. here's another example where the government screws something up and wants to put the burden of it and the problem and the impact of it off on people whose paychecks have been confiscated for every time they ever got a paycheck. that's just fundamentally wrong, chris chls chris. let's not punish people. 60 million americans get social security. 1/3 of them depend on it for 90% of their income. i just don't think that that's a realistic or even an appropriate way to deal with the problem that the government made not the people who paid in money for all the years of their working life. >>

what about chris christie. i think hillary's hair looked great. >> i don't even know what that is. >> kt, when i see an ad like this, it makes me think of the famous ronald reagan bear in the woods ad. can we show that? we can show that. >> there is a bear in the woods. for some people the bear is easy to see. others don't see it at all. some people say the bear is tame. others say it is vicious. it is dangerous. since no one can really be sure who is right, isn't it smart to be as strong as the bear? if there is a bear? >> wow. >> see, christie should run an ad with the bear cubs that go in the swimming pools in the backyards in jersey. >> but, kt, what i like about that ad is the fear mongering is subtle. >> very subtle. >> and it is not you are going to die if you don't vote for me. >> and the bear is supposed to be the soviet union. >> right. >> so very subtle. >> why aren't they taking lessons from the master, from ronald reagan? >> i don't know. >> time to change. >> here is the thing about reagan and i d

when chris christie and rand paul butted up. i would love to see hillary actually taking that kind of heat from bernie sanders. but they basically don't want to start the debate season until ten days before the november election. >> yeah, i'm sorry. you're highlighting that there right now is an ongoing battle for the heart and soul of the republican party. is this going to be a watered down version of the democratic pae party ora revitalized second party. ted cruz makes the distinction. are they going to fight, risk shutting down the government, defund obamacare. are they going to defund planned parenthood? there's a big schism. which side of the party is going to win this? >> ted cruz, i think, puts it in more basic terms when he talks about the washington cartel. which i think is a great phrase. to a large number of people, on the conservative side in this country, washington is a two party conspiracy. there's a big audience for that, particularly after the failures of the 2010 election and in2014 election. to deliver anythin

. >> and chris christie stirring up outrage from teachers union.tly what he said and the call for his resignation is coming up. and two new hampshire sisters number selfie mission to stab a pick with every presidential hopeful. there are a lot of them. they join us live we live in a world of mobile technology, but it is not the device that is mobile, it is you. fresher dentures with polident. for those breathless moments. hug loud. live loud. polident. number 1 dentist recommended. >> so while many people their age take pictures of their favorite celebrities or reality stars, my next regresses two new hampshire teens trying to get a picture with every presidential hopeful. so far they've taken a picture with 19 candidates. joining me now. how did you get started on this? why did you decide to do it? >> hi, well, we went to an event for chris christie, and he was accepting an endorsement, so earning really talk or anything. but then he went out and talked to people on the street. the press also. and so i went up to him and i was, like, can i have a

what chris christie is proposing, the nicest thing is it's impractical. the worse thing is it's inhumane but the very troubling and disturbing to so many latinos, the language he's using of packages. we've had discussions of anchor babies. this is the trump effect where he's importing extreme rhetoric and this is main stream language. it will be a big problem going forward and when you look at the latino electric, 30% who identify as conservative or independent. that window is not just closing but slammed shut. >> christie defended himself in the proposal yesterday on fox news sunday. >> my point was, was that this is once again a situation where the private sector lapses up in the government with the use of technology. let's use the same type of technology to make sure that 40% of the 11 million people here illegally don't over stay the visa. if fedex can do it -- >> somebody doesn't have a number on their, a label on their wrist. >> we can do it and bring in the folks from fedex to use the technology. i don't mean people are packages so let's not be rid

>> chris christie is going to be seen as more likable here.ough he can be a painful he leaned to his right a little bit. and this is evaluating. he's leaning to the right and the left, this is evaluating right then and there. and so chris christie is very interesting. he has no trouble saying that this is the priority. lou: thank you so much we appreciate it turkic analysis. coming up next, what social media says for winning tonight's debate. and all over the country on facebook twitter, on everything. more highlights like this one. >> probably the russian and chinese government know more about hillary clinton's e-mail service in the united states congress a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? lou: we are back with our panel including jedediah bila and ed rollins and hank. thank you guys for joining us. so where does this leave us? >> personal i want to give a sense how good the debate was in your estimat

chris christie -- i want to say this carefully -- chris christie too often yells at his audience.like it. walker does it exactly as it should be done for republican primary voters. 's one of the people i'll be watching on thursday night. does he bring the passion because i know he has the language. >> let's go with scott walker to the focus group and see what they have to say about him. >> wisconsin is not the most conservative state in the country. he's done well there. >> it's a liberal state and he's won three elecs out of four years. he can fight the union and he's proven that he can fight the union. >> that matters to you? >> yes, it does. >> one of the big things we need to talk about, he fought the public sector unions, that's huge. roosevelt was against public sector unions. he fought it, he won, in that state which is a huge accomplishment. kudos to him. he's doing a great job up there. >> i work in education, i think that as a university person that tenure was important. i think it belongs in public sector. i'm not pro union and i never would. >> you support what he's do

i also voted for my governor, chris christie. i'm really leaning trump voting for either or christie because i like their outspokenness. i am 34 years old and am tired of the same old politics as usual. they are afraid to commit to an answer. i want someone that will stand their ground and say this is the way that it is. we have to fix problems. we do not get that -- look at the dnc chairman. she is an embarrassment. i do not know how she is still in the position she is in. theyhat they have done is have lost everything. they lost the senate, the ,ongress -- there most likely if hillary stays in, going to lose the white house. this is the track record that she is proud of? beat the war on women for so long. it is becoming death to people. that is all we have heard for the last three election cycles out of the democrats. they bring nothing new to the table. we are had a crisis. if you look at our economic standing, we are at $20 trillion in debt. i do not hear the democrats talking about this. what are they going to do to rectify t

and chris christie advisor mike duhain.ndidates were not at the top of the top 10, but both happy to a made on the main stage tonight. what is the biggest goal for tonight? >> we beat expectations to get here. every time john kasich has the time to tell his story about what he did in congress, helping to balance the federal budget, it is a win-win for us. for the candidate with the .d. -- iame i expect to see the governor relaxed and telling his story of what he has done for this country. christie -- what is a win for him? >> he has no problem being himself. it is very early in the campaign. it is an opportunity for istie to talk about himself. he has laid out specific plans. john: take it away. al: what do you expect of donald trump today? mike: i have no idea. there are 10 people on the stage. for governor christie, it is about him and his vision. trump.ave not focused on why worry about it? at the end of the day, this is a chance for john kasich to tell his story. john: it is one thing for you guys to say we are not tota

chris christie, think about where we were in the 2012 campaign talking about chris christie, having the possibility of being nominee. now he may not be on the stage for the first debate. >> not to mention the folks who are definitely not going to make it, bobby jibdal, lindsey graham, these are serious guys with serious policy and they're not going to be there. they're not going to be a part of the conversation. >> one group i'm matching on that stage, ben carson, mike huckabee, ted cruz. all those on the hard right of the gop. ted cruz has even gone up to trump tower to sit with trump to kiss the ring. they're all waiting to see, maybe trump is a summer fling for the gop, but they want his bloc, if he gets out of the race. whether they're combative or not, that's going to be something i'm watching, because those conservatives are really, they know they can't be the bush alternative for the establishment alternative unless you find some way to put these blocs together. >> so do they get into a deep policy fight? and if they want to, do you want to be a contrast with trump or do you want

him a big hug again go right ahead. >> who do you trust more on counterterrorism, rand paul or chris christie? eleanor clift. >> you didn't play the rest of that bite which is when christie comes back and says, hugs are of the family members of the people who died on 9/11. i think christie won that exchange. >> i think both of them did. christie is appealing to the security segment. that's a majority. however, rand paul's guys are the libertarians to whom this is a vitally important issue. this fourth amendment. and i think he was very outspoken and tough in defending that part of the party. i think they both appealed to their bases and they both did well. >> a little substance -- >> a good, hot exchange. >> i think chris christie will come out better with more republican voters from that because again with the security issue moving up the ladder he will seem to take, again, i think eleanor is right that the party is more in christie's pocket than in terms of -- >> issue three. mass o.j. any. >> you called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. your twitter accoun

both of them featured new jersey governor kit chris christie. he battleed with rand paul over the patriot act. then he mixed it up big-time with mike huckabee. christie would essentially reform social security by raising the eligibility age and means testing. mike huckabee says that's theft. watch. >> he's not lying. just wrong. i'm the only guy on the stage who put out a detailed 12-point plan on entitlement reform. >> nobody in this country is on social security because they made the decision when they were starting, who at 14 they wanted to trust some of their money with the government. >> whole bunch of candidates today are in georgia for the big red state conference which starts tonight and in new hampshire today, jeb bush stopped off at a lobster house in new hampshire and he is campaigning there, and frankly was asked a number of times about what' some critics say was a tepid dedebate performance and he said eights not about one or two debates. a campaign is a long haul of persuading lots lots of people. so you can hear him dismissing yest

the fact that chris christie says how can you not sign the pledge?bviously jeb bush is trying to take a principaled stand. he may know for example that the governor of kansas, super anti-tax guy has been forced to raise taxes because things happen. you have to take in anti-reality pledge that says, no thing can happen that will cause me to change my mind. that's a foolish thing to say but if you don't say it you are cooked. >> i think that's one of the important -- i think that's one of the important things we are hearing here is you can not predict the future when you are the president of the united states. sometimes the country goes in to a recession. sometimes things happen. sometimes the make up of congress changes and to get pieces of legislation through you end up signing bills that sometimes include pieces that you do not like. i they is where he is coming from here. he doesn't know what the future holds. he's trying to keep a principled position on that. >> here's what grover norquist tweeted about jeb bush's refusal to sign the pledge. you m

scott walker and chris christie about 40% that says i'm for viable. i talked -- gwen: who's the audience for that little detail? i don't know. >> it's a way of talking about yourself as a successful politician. i talked to scott walker and he said that's because i've taken on tough fights and had them against me. >> john kay sick spend all this money to promote himself so he's got higher ratings. gwen: scott walker seems to be zen about this. let's take a listen about what he had to say about this whole big crowded field. >> with this many great republicans on the field this is not going to be wrapped up after a couple of states. it's probably going to be a couple of months in if not longer and we're ready for the long haul. gwen: the "long haul," he's thinking right past this debate isn't he? >> that's right. walker thinks that this is a trump phenomenon and that it will fizzle out. he's focused on fundraising building a national network. he believes he become that alternative to jeb bush and be there in the top tier. the other thing you have to watc

kelly, chris christie, he seemed to kind of dodge that question just a little bit, didn't me? >> reporter: well we have been talking about donald trump for weeks now. and when i interview candidate, christie and others, there is a hesitation for many to engage on the subject of donald trump again and again. they feel like they have answered though questions. but today christie was willing to respond on that issue of the language of trump. i also talked to bobby jindal, governor of louisiana, who said there is too much political correctness. and he said voters will sort that out. carly fiorina was just on the stage here extremely well-received. and she was talking about some of these issues. not so much as talking about how donald trump talks to women. but, you know, kind of nudging donald trump a little bit. stealing a line from him in reference to saying as donald trump would say you're fired when she was talking about the bloated federal government. so donald trump is in the air but not here today. what these conservatives, who are here in person for a two-day event, getting
