for chris christie. yesterday donald trump tapped the new jersey governor and former republican presidential candidate to lead transition efforts for president-elect trump if he wins the general election in november. christie will be in charge of staffing up the trump white house. so we got that news about chris christie hiring the trump administration staff yesterday. and that turned out to be incredible timing because today we got news that the bridgegate scandal which tore apart christie's own administration in new jersey, the bridgegate scandal is roaring back to life with a very interesting vengeance. the bridgegate scandal, it's been going on three years since a few chris christie political allies and staffers allegedly closed access lanes onto the busiest bridge in the world as some sort of act of political retribution. this fall a federal trial is scheduled to start in newark, new jersey, involving two of those three former christie allies. a third one has already pled guilty and is cooperating w

so everyone was wondering why chris christie would do such a thing. but people always forget that when you sell your soul to the devil, are you still getting something in return. and last thursday we found out what that was. >> donald trump in central new jersey at a fundraiser in lawrenceville for governor christie. >> a $200 per person event was designed to pay you have christie's $200,000 debt from his failed presidential run. >> you know, chris paid off his entire campaign debt tonight, right? his entire debt. >> trevor: yeah! we did it! we did it! i mean we could have given that money to are chaity, but let's be honest, christie is the real tragedy here, come on. yeah, there is probably kids in africa going no, no, i know me, but have you seen his face, give him the moneyment i will wait for next time. i will wait for next time. so yes, trump helped wipe out chris ye's debt in just one night. and all christie had to do was endorse a man who a few months prior he had said this about. >> i just don't think he's suited to be president of the united

and christie, as far as anyone i think can tell, would accept the job. or would he?> no, i don't think he would. i think if it -- why would you carry the gatorade for the president as vp when you can become the attorney general, which is probably the second most important cabinet position in the country, with powers even to investigate the president, mind you. so i think if he had a choice, which i believe he probably has, he would probably pick attorney general. i don't think he helps trump in new jersey. his favorability ratings are so low that it's not a factor anymore. >> and that concentration of testosterone in one ticket -- now, not that there's anything wrong with it, but, i mean, they really don't help balance each other out. they are the mirror image of each other, except for the fact that chris christie is a smart and savvy, educated lawyer, whereas donald trump is much more of the "gotcha-getcha" businessman -- get you by the throat. i just don't see -- i don't see what diverse demographic either one of them appeals to. i think they -- they appeal to the

the long steep fall of chris christie. that story after this break. . >>> cast your mind back to a different time almost five years ago. it was the fall of 2011 when new jersey governor chris christie was in demand. republicans seeing them as their last great hope, lobbying him to enter the presidential race. the pressure became so intense christie addressed the issue at a press conference in trenton. by november of the next year, his ratings in the blue state of new jersey were a whopping 67% -- 77%. later he rode that wave of popularity to a second term winning by a landslide and cementing his reputation as a republican star. now 2 1/2 years and one bridge scandal later, chris christie is occupying a different space in the republican party in new jersey. after dropping out of the gop primary race without winning a single state, he went on to endorse donald trump. he had a very distinct i'm here against my will feel to it all. which led chris christie to announce in fact, no, he was not being held hostage by donald trump.

governor christie introduces president christie with christie 2016 rnc speech. mitt romney's acceptance speech for the nomination was better received but it did have one big problem that interfered with the reception that the speech got overall. he gave this sober speech, it was like a stump speech, churning through the main points and all the things he thought would be important to mention about his perspective presidency. the big problem is that he left out entirely the fact that the united states was at war. no mention of major national security issues or the fact that he would be becoming a commander in chief for a nation in war time. that means at a time he was supposed to be maximizing himself instead part of the reaction to the nomination was he got stomped on by veterans across the country that were upset about being snubbed. in the big surprise celebrity moment and the key note and the speech and all the high points of the convention in 2012 there were problems but there was one lower profile moment at the rnc, one prime time speech which i think nobody

christie almost seem proud of that.he fact they are having to pay more for his administration's creation of the scandal, whether or not he had anything to do with it. that's why knowledge voters are saying they don't want him to be vp and they don't want him to be governor. >> i'm surprised he's having a fundraiser and it's not a bake sale. this make trump look like an insider. they should do a dunn take. how good would donald trump be? you could call it a trump tank. it would be amazing. kennedy: i would pay $100. >> look at that face. nobody want to look at that face. >> the relationship between trump and christie is so odd to me. there seems to be a lot of animosity during the campaign when they were debating each other. the fact that he's going toen in * and raising this money, does that mean butterbean is at the top of the list? >> i think it's returning a favor for when he stood behind hip at the podium. as new yorkers we should be in favor of this. if trump is going to new jersey, it means the brian is open tonig

he announced christie as head of transition team that that meant christie would no longer be under consideration for vice president. he said i will still consider chris as vice presidential running mate. one point he hammered was the people on the list are people with deep political resumes. he said we don't need another business person on this ticket. he is looking into the political class kind of as a way to not only show he will have someone with washington experience but saying this is a way for him to embrace the establishment that he has -- >> there is an issue of somebody with political experience. i guess the other thing is the question of personality because donald trump obviously that dominant personality, always making headlines. if you go with a christie you have the chance that somebody else on the ticket is behaving the same way. is there any sense that he is comfortable with the idea of somebody else taking so much of the spot light or looking for somebody to go into the background? >> i think for donald trump the big thing is having personal relationship between him and the vice

he's announcing that governor christie will serve as his transition team chairman. your reaction to that? >> well, i think that's somewhat to be expected. christie, you know, shortly after getting out of the race aligned himself with donald trump. and i think they have developed a very close relationship to the point where donald trump trusts christie with something as important as that. i think also this gives christie a little bit more leverage to be in donald's ear about the very things we're talking about right now, because all of that, as you know, tamron, is part of the transition. it's not just the nuts and bolts and where the bodies go, but it's also that transition between a primary campaign to a general election campaign to hopefully moving into the white house. and i think that christie can be helpful to donald trump in that regard, particularly with the meetings coming up this week. >> let me bring in also, we have with us annie linski. thank you for joining in. david, let's talk about what kind of an asset or not chris christie could be here, particular

christie has been a key advisor. it surprises me he has advisors.here were they when he went on facebook to post that taco bowl? that's the story chris christie should be advising on. the man is built on taco bowls. chris christie, even though he's an advisor, he's not ruling out the possibility to be trump's running mate. he said he will block that this might be the reason -- trump is headlining a fund raiser to help chris christie pay back his campaign debt. he owes more than $400 thousand. so, they're having an event to raise cash to pay it back. who has a few thousand bucks, i could donate this to orphans but i think instead i'll use it to cover christie campaign's unpaid pizza bill. these guys so against donald trump, chris christie, rick perry, this is rick perry from last year. >> let no one be mistaken. donald trump's candidacy is a cancer on conservatism and must be clearly diagnosed, excised and discarded. >> jimmy: does donald trump have a magic bill cosby pill he's slipping in -- [ applause ] rick perry is kind of desperately putting him
