christie's hand puppet.ise me at all. >> in the past 48 hours alone, trump has gone after both hillary and bill clinton, also chris christie and the biggest newspaper in the leadoff primary state. so who might be on trump's list for tonight? joining me live from outside trump's rally in nashua, new hampshire, nbc's hallie jackson. i guess it's always a guessing game with donald trump. >> yeah, don't ask me, steve. >> you don't have a target list for tonight, do you? >> i think we can go off what we've seen from trump so far. particularly when he got to twitter over the holiday break. it's bill clinton, hillary clinton and even trey gowdy and marco rubio, some of his republican rivals. the cast of the usual suspects. but the bill clinton attack is a new line for donald trump, hitting hillary clinton's husband for what he likes to call a penchant for sexism. trump flipping hillary clinton's words about trump to use them against bill clinton. he's in a state tonight, steve, where he's welling the polls by doubl

cruz, rubio, bush, christie, and kasich.: each one has experienced that lends itself to being in charge in these issues. the senators, rubio and cruz, the senators are fluent on these issues. in the case of cruz, he sits on the armed services committee. rubio on another committee. they are getting intelligence briefings. mark: are people in iowa and new hampshire looking at that and saying, they are on the committee, that's impressive? dan: that's not the credential. it's the expertise. they are not saying marco rubio is the chairman of the western hemisphere senate foreign relations committee, therefore he is ready. but when you go look at his back and forth -- he is on these platforms where he has had to weigh in. you do get the impression that this is a guy in command of facts and knowledge. i think bush, christie, and john kasich have other advantages. more bush and christie than john kasich. they just have the executive in chargeness profile to them. at the end of the day, i think rubio and cruz will have an advantage o

t-v nine's brady smith heard what christie had to say. he's live at christie's next stop... the fieldhouse in cedar rapids. brady, what did christie say at his iowa city event? christie is scheduled to start his event here around 5:30. but in iowa city earlier today, christie opened with a salvo not against his opponents in the race for 2016, but the obama administration and its handling of recent terrorism at home and abroad. christie spoke to a packed crowd at the hamburg inn number 2, a popular stop for politicians on the campaign trail. christie was critical of president obama's recent efforts to fight climate change. down with other world leaders to address the threat from isis. he also called into question the experience of many of his opponents, both republicans of them are vying for a position they are not prepared for. "now, we have candidates for president like hillary clinton, who comes from the senate, and marco rubio and ted cruz and rand paul who are from the an executive job in their lives." christie also talked about the need to strengthen the u-s military, a

a dynamic between chris christie and donald trump is going to be fascinating indeed if chris christie continues to rise in new hampshire, donald will have his hands full with that fight back and forth. >> we're sitting in a state that's ground zero for that combat, trump versus christie. christie is gaining strength. the endorsement is big for him. it comes each and every day. each and every day. >> joe is a bit of an addict for that newspaper. >> the old drip treatment. >> not drip. it's more like water hose in your face every day. >> and as you just eluded to, trump's strength is it won't diminish that much. it won't go away. >> it's not going away. the question, though, it's very fascinating, mark and i were sharing notes about how much other campaigns are starting to be concerned about chris christie, and i've been getting a lot of emails from other campaigns about marco rubio or ted cruz or donald trump. this morning both of us were getting hammered with emails from rival campaigns about chris christie, ask him about this. ask him about that. why can't he justify that. which is a

finally, chris christie. i'm watching the comeback of chris christie. he's back on the main debate stage, after being relegated to the undercard debate one month ago. and the issue set in this campaign is lining up nearly perfectly for chris kissty. his advisers believe. he will talk a lot about global terrorism, his experience and look for him to question the experience of senator marco rubio and senator ted cruz. those are three of the things of many things we're watching here tonight. >> jeff, thanks very much. a big deal for chris christie to be able to get back on to the main stage after being on the runningup stage. that of course, the first debate. coming up tonight for candidates on that stage. that's what we are getting ready for shortly. as we continue counting down to the start of tonight's debates. want to bring in cnn's kate bolduan in the spin room, representatives of the campaigns trying to put the best possible light on performances, sometimes even before performances begin. kate, any of the candidates actually been by to do prespinning?

maybe christie, probably bush. it looks like it goes down to almost a two man race unless rubio can break in there. >> trump says i don't want them using our internet to take our young impressionable youth. >> the fundamental point comes if people are using this to convince young, impressionable people to go over into syrian and come back and kill us, let's take a good look that thing and shut down the enemy websites. >> which they do but they open up another site. >> you hear that? he is right on the money here. they open up another site. >> you shut those down too. >> you can't keep up with it. can you keep up with it? >> no. >> did you hear that? >> that is the problem no one is giving up. >> no one is giving up but one side is pretending that nothing is being done because of the weakling in the white house when in fact a lot is being done. >> when we come back adios socialism. dios, socialism. >> we're not missing anything did you go through the plan with the kids again? >> yes. >> the more you prepare today, t

christie: it is a crisis. i made my staff available to the republican members of leadership of the legislature to tell them ve done in new jersey and we consulted with them. we' ve done things that are very pro-treatment. first-time nonviolent non-dealing offenders no longer go to prison in new jersey, they go to treatment, mandatory treatment. we know this is a disease and we have the ability to treat it. if we do treat it, we can save lives. i am pro-life and i believe every life is precious, we' ve got to be more than pro-life for more than nine months in the it gets more complicated and that is what we need to focus on. they are starting to focus on that in new hampshire and it is great news. a lot of activists are pushing for this. legislature extend like it is responding.. in new jersey it we are ready to help. josh: what is your response to cutting off the supply? some of the other side are saying we should go after the cartels and do cross-border enforcement. gov. christie: we should this is why i' ve

is going to target terrorism. >> and governor christie is battling the heroin epidemic. christie says winning the battle is simple. >> treatment, and listen, i've talked to jeb about this a lot and he's leading fight in the state senate making sure that they get treatment. >> and the republican party, who the nominee will be. >> and once we have a nominee, the person will represent the party, its believes and

the state republican leader who' s giving christie his support. chris: 40' s, 50' s and 60' s may not be warm for summer but are downright toasty by december standards. how long the mild stretch drags along. tom: first praying and then waving flags. members of manchester' s islamic community turned out for a vigil today. >> what we are doing here is showing the real meaning of islam. tom: the message that brought people of all religions together. shelley: we' re appealing to your spirit of giving with our annual food drive. the challenge one donor has made to all granite staters. >> no one covers new hampshire like we do. shelley : we' re hearing from the family of the u.s. army ranger from new hampshire who died this week. good evening, i' tom: i' m tom griffith. s family and fellow his leadership and for his service. mike cronin joins us live. s somersworth. he was a decorated soldier who corporal andrew aimesbury' s family remembers him as special person. his sister explains, anyone who knows andrew, knows exactly what i mean. even if they only

christie: it is a false debate. the idea that anything that was going on during the eight years in the bush administration was either illegal or extraconstitutional is absolutely false. let's take one example. the program that ended this week, the collection of metadata, if you listen to the debate in congress, they would have you believe we were listening to your phone calls with your wife, and reading your e-mails with your children. metadatahe nsa program. let me tell you what they were doing. they were collecting numbers. millions of numbers. if one number matched with a phone call to a number of a known terrorist, then it is our job to go to court, to show probable cause to get that phone bill. a judge signs off on that do you get the phone bill. then, if you see further evidence of the phone bill that leads you to want to monitor the person, you have to go back to court again under the fourth amendment, and get a warrant to be able to tap the phones. what we have done i taking away that ability is to stop us f

christie: and once we have a represent the party. and we' i know it seems impossible to forget everything that has happened. but we will, because then we will have a republican nominee s focus will be on that. it' s time to get inspired and let the games begin. in wolfeboro. tom: presidential candidate john kasich talked to voters at a house party in bedford tonight. he says the republican party needs a positive message to win in 2016. mr. kasich: the message has got to be one of lifting. if the message is one of you know, i don' t like hispanics, insulting women, throw all the muslims out, how do you think we' re going to do?. tom: kasich is the governor of ohio. earlier in the day, he held town halls and meet&greets in keene busy day today. republican presidential candidate rand paul held a town hall meeting in rindge tonight. in keene and derry earlier in the day. tomorrow, he' ll go door-door to canvass with his campaign in nashua. he also has events in exeter and manchester. shelley: south carolina senator lindsey graham spent t

christie is authentic.t's something he brings to the table that a lot of these other candidates struggle with and that drug addiction story. there's many reasons why that story take to the forefront partially the way the video was shot and very dramatic and distributed by your news organization that allowed millions of people to see it. still ate story he tells over and over and over again. i ash year ago going a drug treatment center with christie in london and this is not something he came up with by himself but it does show he has had, in that being the case, he's had his finger on the pulse of an issue that a lot of americans as it turns out cares about. it underscores his overall skill and what he could -- >> if you have ever been in a room with him and see the effect that this authenticity has, you realize going around the way he has in new hampshire can have a tremendous effect. i tell people you should go online, there's a scene of chris christie where he talks about rock climbing walls in colleges.

governor christie: sure. i do not think that anybody who has a family and raises children and loves this country that once anything other than clean air and clean water and open spaces to be able to explore and enjoy with our families. jerseyne a lot new without boring you with my record on open space and protecting our environment. i will tell you a little bit about that so you know what i've done. life,verything else in there has to be some balance. so i cannot be extreme one way or the other. in new jersey, we have done and enormous things to help expand our state parks in the state to grow and thrive give them some more funding and give them small rules to protect them. we have also set up an energy policy were 53% of all the electricity generated in new jersey is generated by nuclear. this is done a lot to keep the air cleaner. are the third highest solar producing state in the country. the got tonight after this, you're going to win a lot of traits at the bar if you wonder who are the top three celebrit

mcquaid: i look at christie' amendment and do not find it troubling. he has a states rights take on individual states, the reciprocity growth, which i do not go along with. i think second amendment, you should have the right to bear arms in any state. he says that is a state-by-state issue and i guess that is where we differ. he has vetoed when we tried to reduce the size of magazines. josh: you say christie is the best person to lead globally. into decision-making? mr. mcquaid: it is a combination of things. somebody once told me that you have to like somebody that you are going to vote for for president of the united states. some people are likable and some people you just get the vibe that for one reason or another republican field. we did the voters first forum last august, i sat in the second row and we had 10 at saint anselm' s and the other three were in washington. pretty deep field, which made it more difficult to choose. josh: how close was this, and if you want to give an honorable mention, feel free? ve said for the most part that it was go

governor christie: sure. listen, i don't think there is anybody who has a family and raises children and loved his country that once anything other than clean air and clean water and open spaces to be able to explore and enjoy with our families. and i have done a lot in new jersey, without boring you on the record for more space and protecting our environment. i want to you a little bit about that, see you will know what i have done. like everything else in life, there has to be balance. --ht, so i cannot be extreme should not be extreme where the other. so, in new jersey, we have done enormous things to help expand our state parks in the state to grow and thrive, giving them more funding and more rules to protect them. we also have set up an energy policy where 53% of all electricity generated in new jersey is generated by nuclear. and this is a lot to keep the air cleaner. we also now are the third highest solar producing state in the country. and if you go out tonight after this, you will get a lot of grea

just like i think mary pat christie who is someone who was a huge figure in chris christie's life asernor of new jersey, she is very politically savvy. she has been out on the campaign trail more. i think she will have a big role in this campaign. nicolle: she is important considering some of christie's vulnerabilities were his rough edges. i think the whole family is an important part of the chris christie story. my next one is chelsea clinton , because if you look at hillary clinton's vulnerabilities it is preventing , herself as someone who is a human being. when she says that she has not driven herself in over a decade. she does not come across as particularly relatable. i think it is a tremendous opportunity for her to connect. john: the real question about chelsea is how big of a role she wants to play. if she wanted to be a big figure, she could be as important or more important than her mother's husband, bill clinton. she could be a huge figure but i don't think she wants that role. i think the one in who was covered in the new york times today, jane sanders, could be a big f

chris christie.onight, these candidates were among the strongest tonight in their hawk talk. here's a look at tonight's hawk talk on stage. >> we're not going to read you your miranda rights. >> one of the things i would immediately do in addition to defeating them here at home is bring back the warrior class, petraeus, mcchrystal, keen, flynn. every single one of these generals i know. >> let's be absolutely clear. isis and radical islamic terrorism will face no more determined foe than i will be. >> we have to go massively where we destroyed saddam's ability to take kuwait. we need to have a coalition that will stand for nothing less than the total destruction -- >> frankly, it's time that we punch the russians in the nose. >> i will tell you this. i'm a former federal prosecutor. i fought terrorists and won. when we get back in the white house, we will fight terrorists and win again and america will be safe. >> that's the usual republican argument, quite hawkish. we're going to take down assad and

governor christie: sure. i do not think anybody does not want clean air and clean water and for people to be able to explore and enjoy with our families, and i have done a lot in new jersey without boring you with my record, protecting our environment. but like with anything else in life, there has to be some balance, right? so i cannot be extreme, and it should not be extreme one way or another. done new jersey, we have enormous things to help expand our state parks and for the state to grow and to thrive, giving more funding, it giving some more rules to protect them. we also have set up an energy policy where 53% of all of the electricity generated in new generated by nuclear, and this has done a lot to keep the air cleaner. we also now are the third highest solar producing state in the country, and you go out tonight after this, you are going to win a lot of drinks at the bar if you ask too are the top three solar producing states. they will get the first two. california and arizona, right? and then have

and new jersey governor chris christie is making a move in new hampshire. major garrett has been spending time with christie in the granite state. >> i ask for your vote, for your trust and for your confidence. >> reporter: this town hall in pelham was chris christie's 41st in new hampshire. since the terrorist attacks in paris and san bernardino, christie has noticed a tidal shift in anxiety. 75% of his questions now are about terrorism, triple what >> as politicians we need to be responding to that fear. >> reporter: we rode on the christie bus and asked if fear can get the best of people? >> i don't think that we should be afraid of people because of what religion they practice. >> reporter: or how they look? >> of course. that goes hand in hand. what you need to be fearful of is not having enough intelligence to know the difference between a jihadist and a peaceful muslim. >> reporter: how do you do that? >> you first of all ramp back up the n.s.a. program, which never should have been taken down. you give real support to the f.b.i. >> reporter: and wha

christie will be covered to a fair-thee-well if he does it. that's the role he's been asked to play. this is my interpretation knowing joe and having talked to him about who he picked. >> continuing to endorse him day after day unless he does that job? >> christie will get the full backing and full coverage to the extent he is willing to do what he was picked to do. i know mcquaid doesn't like trump and thinks he's a phony. >> this is a contract. thank you, katy tur. whack the guy or you will lose your coverage. katy tur, love your coverage. fergus, nice to meet you. i do hope that party you talk about exists. >> it does. >>> the politics of planned parenthood. did the heated anti-abortion rhetoric on the right contribute to a deadly shooting at a colorado clinic? if so what should we do about it? >>> 13-14 democratic female senators, women, are standing alongside hillary clinton tonight to show their support for her presidential bid. guess who was the holdout? guess, guess, elizabeth warren. >> on the republican side, chris christie is gainin

cruz 18%, carson 14%, rubio 12%, christi chris christie 4%.he military campaign against isis, and now the bernardino shooting. >> probably was related. radical islamic terrorism and i'll tell you what. we have a president that refuses to use the term. he refuses to say it. there's something going on with him that we don't know about. >> it's that last nart is trademark trump. one time cheerleader of the birther movement. there's something going on with him. the president of the united states that we don't know about. what does he mean? z>> when i was at a trump rally in south carolina a couple of week s ago when he said the lin. people yelled out "he's a muslim." there's not a lot of ambiguity at what he's gesturing there. you go to the trump event and there are thousands of and thousands of people and they're hyped up. they ask them what is it drawing you to donald trump? they're angry and afraid. and these recent events have only increased particularly their fear and donald trump is a sort of classic strong man. he's going to make everything

christie received an endorsement from republican senator jeb bradley. last month, he was endorsed by "the union leader." on the fight against opioids, a problem plaguing new hampshire right now, christie said treatment is key. frank: the effort to oust the mayor of lawrence has hit a setback. the group of petitioners were 655 signatures short of what was needed to put a recall question on the ballot. according to "the eagle tribune," they were hoping the city council would call for a special election to unseat daniel rivera. this photo of a foxborough high school student is at the center of a yearbook controversy. the problem? the young woman appears to be standing on the american flag. in fact, that was not the case. but the picture was banned from the yearbook. morgan traux believed the photo showed pride in the u.s.a. the flag is not a real flag. it's a photo studio backdrop. morgan's mom says the school's response was over the top

let's start with chris christie. and this newspaper debacle here.e newspaper, the "star ledger" calling the other people in new hampshire, the new hampshire "union leader" to question them about their endorsement of chris christie for president. you heard the editorial page editor of the new hampshire paper talking about the "star ledger" paper as a crazy ex-girlfriend. was this an unusual move by this newspaper, or just them trying to do their homework and get down to business? >> it was absolutely an unusual move to have one newspaper, the "star ledger" attacking another newspaper in another state for its endorsement. but basically arguing that they hadn't done their research, and that i think maybe that their endorsement was a little out of touch i think is the argument. and as you note, grant bosse from the manchester "union leader" now the new hampshire "union leader," you know, he said that the star ledger was like a crazy ex-girlfriend, which kind of tells you what time period the union leader is operating in. which is many, many years ago. b

i have my eye on chris christie. chris christie among the establishment type candidates has those law enforcement bona fides, and i would add we'd better be talking here tomorrow about ben carson because if we're not -- >> we have not been talking -- think about the reagan library that's all we were talking about, trump and ben carson. >> but ted cruz's ascent has been to the detriment of ben carson. it's a hard thing for carson because this is not his strong suit. the calendar has been put in place long before san bernardino. national security is going to dominate this conversation. quite frankly, it's a conundrum for him. i don't know how he works himself into this conversation and takes control of it. >> their campaign doesn't like to be reminded he was pronouncing hamas as hummus. what else are you watching for? >> i'm watching the interplay between the cruz and trump and carson faction. they may be dispersed on the stage -- >> they're mavericks. >> i believe it and i think the numbers are proving it out. i'm see
