he says all the time christie has to be christie. what you see is what you get.ut, i do agree, i think the jersey thing is a bit -- i think he could travel well. i think people in iowa and new hampshire will like him. the reflex to be contentious speaks toa personality trait that i think will not play well and will trip him up in some high-profile way. >> i agree with you on that. it is not that -- people love the sense that somebody is real. he goes out of his way. if there is a fight, he says he wants to get in. i think that is the problem because it has to be modulated sometimes confrontational, sometimes more inspirational. i am not sure he has that mix right yet. >> we will talk more about christie and jeb bush later on that we are moving on. jesus was reborn and it turns out so now will be seth rogen and james franco. sony will release the interview on christmas day. it'll play in some indie theaters around the country. seth rogen tweeted "that freedom has spoken. sony did not give up." we don't know if north korea knows about any of this because their inte

my question for you is whether this report means -- as a lot of christie allies have been saying -- christies now politically scot-free? >> as we say here, so not. they didn't talk to five of the key people. >> like the five key people. >> the grand jury is humming along. there is talk there could be indictments from the prosecutor early in the year. i am not saying they will indict governor christie but this thing is not over until the grand jury, the federal grand jury says what they will do. you can bet that even if the prosecution does not speak because they are indicted, these people will someday talk. >> this was a long time ago. we talked a lot about this at the time. what people are focusing on is not whether chris christie ordered the lane closings or if he knew about it. there was an extraordinary press conference at the end of the year where he said he knew nothing about any of it right before he actually fired people. i think if there are indictments, especially if there are, we are going to still find out it is possible there is a cultural thing here. something was thinking abou

christie didn't know what wildstein was doing at that time. i mean, it could have been anyone's head he was holding down in the toilet! (laughter) but, folks, it doesn't matter now because this past weekend the governor destroyed wildstein's reputation by releasing a memo filled with five damning revelations. david wildstein will do and say anything to save david wildstein. ouch. he had a controversial tenure at mayor of livingston. ooh! he was an anonymous blogger. wow! folks, that is a damning list. and it doesn't even mention the troubling rumors that wildstein is a known associate of scandal-plagued governor chris christie. (laughter and applause) but, folks, all of that -- (cheers and applause) all of this -- all of this just pales when compared to the darkest revelation that wildstein was publicly accused by his high school social studies teacher of deceptive behavior! (audience reacts) oh, yeah. folks, i shudder to think what that could mean. did he improperly footnote a term paper? did he forge his mom's signature for a field trip to c

>> well, he's for governor christie. but you've got ronald reagans in bobby jindal and john kasich and scott walker. these are good solid conservatives that have a proven record and prove that during their stint as governors that a conservative agenda is a prosperous agenda. sure. we have plenty of them. i mean, there's some that aren't mentioned now that will probably become more prominent. we're talking about 20, 25 different people that will be running for president in the next few months. neil: about that, that might be a small number there. i talked to a number on both sides. the real conservative side of the republican party. the rhino part. they all say the same thing. we can kind of support the other guy if he ends up being the nominee, but not with great zeal. i had to squeeze it out of ken whether he could accept even a rand paul or ted cruz. it was almost like i was putting a lemon under his nose. >> well, neil, all the republicans, including ken is going to enthusiastically support whoever the nominee is. bec

it is really chris christie's fault that jeb bush is in this. >> how so?i don't think he's looking hard at this race until pardon the pun, based on christie's verbal skills and personal attitude so we can call it the bully pull pit problem, literally, i think until you reach the problem area he had a number of months back i don't think bush was looking at that. when he saw the faltering from the gentleman in new jersey he began looking at it harder and donors began to say it's a maybe. i still think because governor bush stalktalked about getting the race with joy, which i believe. but i think because of marco rubio from florida acting up or acting out so to speak it pushed jeb to make a decision faster. i think chris christie has done himself harm and if i'm one of those tea party candidates i would want to coalesce behind one. >> everyone knows christie is a tough guy in new jersey, he talked last night about how he would change his demeanor if he ran for president. this is what he said. >> do you have any intention of doing anything to tone down or alte

i think chris christie could be one of those guys.e did very well in the last election with african american voters. someone like jeb bushl who has this understanding of deeper issues and how to appeal to different communities, i think he could do that. i think that rand paul has showed he could do it. and i think marco rubio can do it. we have a deep bench of candidates who are willing to have bigger discussions. we have a problem in this country and we got to fix it. >> jonathan you wrote today that we're past the yufrorria of having a black president. are we past this issue? >> democrats are more comfortable talking about race and the issues surrounding race than the republican party. i would say chairman steele when you were the head of the republican party, you tried to do something that the party needs to do by taking the party to places where the party hadn't been before. to african americans, to latinos, to asians broadening the reach of the party. but you're no longer chairman. and ever since then, the party has seemed to ret

on the friday after thanksgiving, chris christie quietly vetoed a bill. the new jersey assembly voted for the measure with a 53-13 vote while the senate passed it 32-1. 90% of new jersey voters support it. that's just about as close as unanimous it gets in american politics. the measure would have outlawed the use of so-called pig gestation crates, which are essentially tiny cages that keep pregnant pigs immobilized. they're so small, pigs can't even turn around in them. and they're used primarily as a cost-cutting measure so that farms can pack more pigs into a smaller space. laws banning them have passed in nine states, but here's where it gets interesting. gestation crates are seldom, if ever, used in new jersey. the bill would be a symbolic affirmation that this practice is not okay. terry branstad, who hails from the country's largest producer of pork, which also happens to be home to the nation's first presidential caucus, has been very public about his attempts to sway christie on the matter. when he vetoed the latest version of the bill, christie

christie and i went down to the park and spent some time on the boardwalk, christie's kids taught me how to hit the hammer to get the frogs into the bucket. it was hard. and then christie beat me at football toss, which really aggravated me. and he bragged about it afterwards, which is okay. butly get a rematch at some point. but we went in there just on have fun. we came because after hurricane sandy, people across this state, including those of you here at this base, you had to pick

it's chris christie.e by being this brash guy who tells it the way it is and all this business and i think you probably saw the time he shut down the guy who was actually i think a republican turned independent who was an activist for people who didn't get their money after sandy, to sit down and shut up. you can't do that in iowa and minnesota. forget about it is not a platform that serves you well in most of the country west of the alleghenys. that is chris christie's big problem. they have three or four credible candidates. why bet on one you know has a problem? >> all of these things you just mentioned have taken place since the bridgegate all unfolded last january. you are suggesting he has been his own worst enemy. his personality sometimes gets out of the ring and getsjó'm+t control. >> it's terrific for new jersey. it's a rough and tumble place and people say what they think. it is valued in new jersey. telling people to sit down and shut up when you are the president of the united states is not g

>> good morning, christi.k the demands are, quite frankly, reasonable and i think there's certainly a probability that they will be met. let's talk about the demand for a special prosecutor. i think the big problem, christi, is the process itself. whenever you have a process in the criminal justice system, you want to engender trust. you want to engender respect and confidence. you have a little prosecutor investigating cases, investigating police, the very police they depend upon, rely upon, not only in the past, but the present and the future, it's a problem, so you want some independence there. that's a very significant part of the equation. when you look at other demands like bringing people to justice, the federal government stepping in and getting involved. process it's not the state level, eric holder certainly has indicated that the federal government will take a look. and i think another problem, christi, you have here where people can identify and it resonates certainly, not only as a result of what

chris christie might say i have a clean bill of health here.t even with this democratic investigation and it is a democratic-led investigation there are still some issues that are still being played out at the legal level. you have prosecutors in new jersey and new york who are continuing to probe this. who are asking questions whether or not there might be a plea deal from one of the aids and the port authority aids. this is far from over. but this is a talking point christie to say there was no evidence that even democrats could find pointing me to the lane closure scandal. >> the u.s. attorney conducting an investigation as well. quinnipiac university recently asked a question that we ask a lot here. who would you vote for in 2016 for president? and the numbers are a bit surprising. top of the list? mitt romney. 19%, jeb bush in second at 11, and chris christie 8%. then dr. ben carson at 8% as well. any idea at this point what this preliminary report might do to the numbers? it's worth taking all the numbers with a grain of salt. they change

but someone like chris christie who has been running with jeb bush voters -- if they want to see christiend bush going for the establishment donors, it allows them to triangulate up those guys, push off those guys take on a different kind of candidacy. >> as people except the deal for the last year, i think money is not sufficient to read if jeb bush ins sub signing a bundle or or trying to raise money it would be a huge development. i think despite my saying there will not be a front runner until someone wins iowa, i think he is a chance to be a front runner. these guys, some have been more active than others. they better get in, as you have said, because jeb bush could run away with the establishment category and the butler category in a way that would be hardest. >> top chris christie is the guy -- chris christie is the guy who has to be most nervous now. whatever time table he is on they are competing for the same backers. same wall street people. a guy like rand paul, he can raise all of the money he wants. a guy like ted cruz, he will raise his money with the tea party crowd. my cup

that e-mail was sent by one of governor christie's staff employees.t was some form of political retrobugsz. was the scandal came to light, governor christie cut ties with his campaign manager who had been slated to take over the republican party. for much of the past year there have been a whole slew of investigations. they subpoenaed hundreds of e-mails, texts, notes, a very public months-long investigation started in january. and, today, until late last night, actually their first report was leaked to the press. this is it. it's about 130e pages long. it's a really detail chronology of events that led to and took place during and after the closures. it doesn't offer a lot in the way of details offered before. it does state that there is no conclusive evidence as to whether governor christie was or was not aware of the lane closures. the committee is also not in a position currently to conclude what governor christie hymn knew about the lane closures or when or how they developed. they say effectively, they can't figure out what happened. some key ch

but beyond that -- >> but i have to say, if chris christie thinks he's going to be president christie act like that, he should have a conversation with president giuliani. there's no such thing. giuliani was the bombastic mayor of new york city for eight years. he tried to run for president. how'd that work out for him? >> you're really good. i don't think i can add to that. that's perfectly right. he's auditioning for president of the united states in that manner. >> and he's raised -- he's raised millions of dollars for the republican -- >> and the republican party putting bets on him. they still do that. >> i think it's a sliver of individuals. the field is so large, between jeb bush, marco, jindal. you name it, we have them to spare that are going to run. >> they're not worried about those people. they're worried about ted cruz and rand paul and they see him as the guy who can take them on. once upon a time, people talked about his appeal to democrats. that he used to talk about working together -- >> apparently back then when romney was thinking of putting him on the ticket when

christie and bush pull from a similar group of donors.oderate republicans and those who really look at christie's ability to win in a blue state. jeb bush's policy positions offer a little bit of overlapse. i think bush's run will push christie into making a decision sooner rather than later. >> thank you very much for that update. >>> the start of a new era in afghanistan. this week a u.s. nato forces officially ended the combat mission in the longest running war. we'll have a live report. >> right here! your momma -- >> the dramatic escape when a toddler jumps from a burning building on christmas morning. it's one of the things we thought you should know. u for calling colonial penn life insurance company. i'm glad i was able to help you today. hi, my name is diane tull, and i'm a customer service representative for colonial penn life insurance company. insurance can sometimes be difficult to understand, but here at colonial penn, we make it simple. alex trebek has been representing colonial penn for over ten years and is here to tell y

in another, he said, "donny jones just flipped you the bird, christie! go home. take the state helicopter, creep!" we reached out on twitter and by phone to governor christie and councilman kenney. we're waiting to hear back from both. but you can find those tweets and others from eagles fans and hear what cowboys fans are saying about this on our website, nbc10.com. >> so, christie managed to do what people thought was impossible last night. he's united giants and eagles fans -- >> right, because they're all upset about this. >> all on the same page about that. we'll have more on that later. >>> and this, too. bill cosby breaking his silence. what the comedian says about the media during his recent scandal and the one person he is praising during this whole thing. >>> plus, a new report says law enforcement is lax in philadelphia when it comes to traffic rules. and some drivers may be in danger because of it. >>> view across the delaware this morning is dry. temperature 42 degrees here at nbc 10. the time is 4:37. >>> 4:39. a live look at center city from our ca

christie will not be sued over the jersey bridge scandal. lawyers who were stuck in that lawsuit originally named the lawsuit with christie and some of his defendant, and aides and ex-port authority officials. but now lawyers are filing a new suit that would not include the governor. this came after the lane closures on the g.w. bridge found no evidence that christie was involved. >>> pennsylvania governor tom corbett told the associated press he will consider working with a presidential candidate for 2016. though he didn't say which possible candidate he would prefer to work with. he also said he may teach or accept a seat on a corporate board. >>> new york governor cuomo has released plans to ban fracking for states. the process is legal here in pennsylvania and there's been a drilling boom here since 2008. >>> health alert for anyone living in delaware. medical experts want everyone to get flu shots for the number of people in the state with the sickness continues to climb. there are more than 250 cases of the flu in delaware. and two peo

that e-mail was sent by one of governor christie's staff employees.ely assumed theory was it was some form of political retrobugsz. we don't know why they wanted that gridlock, but it was a retribution against the mayor in ft. lee. the immediate fallout was the firing of the governor's deputy chief of staff, and he cut ties with his campaign manager who had been slated to take over the republican party. for much of the past year, there have been a whole slew of investigations into what happened and who ordered that shutdown and why, and whether it was a criminal act. they subpoenaed hundreds of e-mails, texts, notes, a very public months-long investigation started in january. and, today, until late last night, actually, their first report was leaked to the press. this is it. it's about 130 pages long, and it details a chronologically list of the events, and there's no evidence as to whether christie was or was not aware of the delays on the bridge. they said, quote, at present there is no conclusive evidence as to whether governor chris christie had k

how viable is a christie candidacy? him or a supporter of his would be less those things, although they obviously have potentially deadly implications if they were to come to pass that he was implicated, i think the big problem is christie himself and his approach to politics. i mean, you know, people in jersey may think it's charming to be told to sit down and shut down but not in berlin, new hampshire, not in most places in this country. and i've been involved in presidential races and i know that every single day there are a thousand provocations. and part of the discipline of running for president is not flying off the handle at every one of them. people don't want a president who has the power of the president of the united states who can't control his temper. >> let me follow on this. you are a strategist par excellence. and can you make a candidate -- this is chris christie's dna. >> i said a long time ago, presidential races are like mris for the soul. so that's my point. that's his biggest problem. that's a big
