christie: a number of people. both who are running for president and who are commenting on this race for president as members of congress and others, who only care more about telling people what they think they want to hear rather than what they think they need to know. mark: who are you thinking of? mr. christie: if i wanted to name names during the speech i certainly would have. john: you could elaborate. you could tell it like it is right here. mr. christie: and i did. i told it like it was today in the speech. anybody who has trouble understanding that as somebody who has not been observing the race closely. john: it is being reported by national review that marco rubio is going to run two ads against you in new hampshire tomorrow. i wish i had more details for you on that. what do you make of that development and of becoming negative ads presumably against you and others in this fight in the coming months. mr. christie: i wonder what happened to the marco who so indignantly look to jeb bush and set i guess so

but between bush, christie, rubio, and kasich, right now christie has the broadest argument. mark: the new year has already brought up some juicy stuff -- john: the new year has artie brought up a daisy chain of political attacks. ted cruz -- >> i like green eggs and ham. >> ted cruz is wonderful at reading children's fairytales from the senate floor. rick santorum spent his time in the senate a little differently. read at someone -- yoto bedtime story? cruz is your guy. you want to protect america? rick santorum is your president. that was number one. number two, a super pac supporting ted cruz with its own negative spot, directed at marco rubio. >> i have to get this fantasy football thing right. [laughter] and now the rubio super pac ad -- guess who it is targeting? >> chris christie, a level energy lovering, medicare expanding president. john: there will be a lot of weeks,ns in the coming and that should amount to the classic firing squad. let me show you what these think -- what you think these will tell us. mark: that everyone from the lowest ranking candidates to the v

governor christie has not said whether he will sign it. currently hawaii is the only state with a smoking age of 21 or higher. similar law exist in new york city as well. >>> today the eagles head coaching search will take a break while jeff lurie meets with his fellow owners. reports say the birds have no other coaching interviews planned right now. the eagles interviewed tom coughlin yesterday. he won two super bowls with the giants. he resigned last week after three straight losing seasons. reports say the 49ers will also interview coughlin. so here are the six candidates so far. they met with doug peterson on sunday, adam gase took the dolphin job on saturday. now chip kelly's firing triggered the search. mayoral ree merrill seemed to have trouble getting along with his team. >> a bright guy with tremendous everybody felt this was the next genius but i don't think anybody really knew him. i have already spoken with the three more than i did with chip in three years. >> kelly's name has been mentioned for several coaching job openings i

what interested me today is was rubio attaching christie. i think he sees something in his rear view mirror. i had a long time with mr. christie yesterday and he says this will be a rapid win knowing after new hampshire and south carolina at the latest at which point he expected it to be a four person race. on the one side cruz and trump and on the other side christie and rubio at which point mr. christie feels he is going to be in good shape because he has changed by 50 points his unfavorable to favorable in new hampshire. he thinks he can do that elsewhere. he also thinks his former head of the republican governor's association you have a lot of friends in the seven governors elected in 2014 when he was chairman of the rga and the 17 who were reelected. he thinks that can supply a ground game. >> what's interesting is that they're all attacking each other but not attacking trump. >> no. because there is no value in attacking trump. you want to get a big fat counter attack? why. they are all trying to channel the trumpian angle. >> which ru

christie's record.ituted an internet sales tax, supported common core and liberal energy policies. incredibly, christie even backed obamacare's medicaid expansion. chris christie, one high-tax, common core, liberal energy-loving obamacare, medicaid expanding president is enough. conservative solutions pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. >> could not humanly be more touching in that commercial. cnn's manu raju is in cedar rapids, iowa, where he just finished up three town halls. what do you see? >> reporter: when he speaks to voters, he does not go after his rivals by name. he talks in more hopeful optistic tone and talks in doom and gloom tones, and talks about what the president is doing and social conservative issues, like abortion, things that resonate with iowa voters. gut he does make implicit attacks about ted cruz when he talks to voters about the way he sought to overhaul the nation's intelligence service. afterwards we talked to him and asked him specifically about what he t

christie's record. >> reporter: while cruz tries to rally voters over the threat of illegal immigration. >> i understand that when the mainstream media covers immigration, it doesn't often see it as an economic issue. but i can tell you, it is a very personal economic issue. >> reporter: vowing to secure the border. >> if i'm elected president, we will triple the border patrol. we will build a wall that works. >> reporter: and using some language that sounds awfully familiar to trump. >> he says we're going to build a wall. now here's the good thing, he's a politician so he wouldn't know where to start. you know, i know how to build a wall. i know exactly how to build a wall. i know the footings, i know how deep they have to go, i know how high we can go with the precast, i know everything. >> reporter: now, we might see an immigration battle brewing between donald trump and ted cruz. buzzfeed managed to catch cruz on camera talking to voters, sounding like he's trying to go to the right of trump, sayin

does christie have too much attitude? i think his attitude is pretty well received in the republican party. >> you see yes, sirty being painted by his rivals as someone who is close to president obama. throughout the entire night christie pushed back hard on that notion, he would "pose secretary clinton, he would kick obama out of the white house. what a scrum among these establishment candidates, they're all struggling for political oxygen in new hampshire, they're trying to stay in this race and going at each other. knives are out, all of them. >> what kind of audience is out there, does it have a lot of diversity or is it all white guys? >> the main group, most of these campaigns are targeting, white working class voters, i talked to them. >> are they working class guys in that audience tonight or money guys. >> i have a lot of money guys, a lot of party people here, that's how you get a ticket. >> pretty wealthy looking crowd from what i can see. >> robert costas, thank you. and david corn. >>> whose name gets in the

jennifer: adam sexton caught up with christie in boscawen and joins us now live. reporter: you're not going to get chris christie to second guess himself very often if at all. he's very firm about his decision to stay here and campaign in new hampshire, rather than return to new jersey to oversee his state's response to this storm. late this afternoon the governor held a law enforcement roundtable in boscawen hosted by merrimack county sheriff hilliard who endorsed christie. with more than a dozen new jersey counties under blizzard watch, christie says he has his eye on the things but doesn't need to be on the ground there to govern. >> if i feel it's necessary for job, i'll do it. but i don't necessarily feel at the moment, given what the forecasts are that 8 to 12 inches of snow necessitates getting in a car and going back down to new jersey to sit there and watch on tv what i could watch on tv here and get on my phone and give orders to people who work for me. reporter: in response to a question about the high number of negative mailers targeting his campaign r

i know, he said he was bringing his wife, mary pat christi, but what is the expectation for christi? >> there is a recognition also with the governor himself. they have to finish as the first governor in new hampshire. that's john kasich, jeb usual about, chris christi, all fighting for the same money, recognition and that establishment lane. this last couple days in iowa has been a big push for chris chris christi, but new hampshire is what will make and break the early stage of this campaign. they're willing to admit that. that's why on caucus night, he will be in new hampshire, talking to voters in town has there. that will set up that last push. if he does well in new hampshire, in others state down the line, if he doesn't that would be the death nell for a campaign. >> to be the top finishing governor. phil mattingly, thank you so much. let's talk about senator cruz. he has five campaign stops today, one at a middle school in the small town of hubbard. population, 839. cruz has campaigned in all 99 iowa counties hope to wind over voters while fending off attacks from front-runne

one of them was the chris christie bridge scandal.t new jersey reporters covering that story but we were the first national press to give it any sustained attention before that story blew up nationally the way it did. i think the flint water story sadly is another one. great local reporting by michigan public radio and the "flint journal" and the "detroit free press" and other local publications. great activism locally. but we were the first national press to give it sustained attention before that story blew up the way it's still blowing up nationally right now. but there is another one of these kinds of stories. another one that we were basically first to in the national press. we covered the heck out of for months. which is now coming back. it's the story of virginia's republican governor bob mcdonnell. his multiple felony corruption charges. that story appeared to be over. once the good governor got convicted on multiple felonies and sentenced to years in federal prison, it felt like it was over. then it really felt like it was ov

kasich is gnawing up the way on cruz and marco rubio and chris christie.ah, it's been a good couple of days for john kasich. but if he's going to have them, he better have them soon. >> let's see who comes in third. ellis henican. thank you. >>> just ahead, why some former disney employees are not happy with the happiest place on earth. ♪ every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company understands the life behind it. ♪ those who have served our nation have earned the very best service in return. ♪ usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. it takes a lot of work... but i really love it.s. i'm on the move all day long... and sometimes, i just don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost® to get the nutrition that i'm missing. boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with a great taste. i don't plan on slowing down any

one county. >> reporter: christie is images like this, flooded streets in atlantic county. and police using humvees to get around. ocean county, hundreds of homes were affected. many residents said the floods were worse than they felt with super stm sandy. christie received national praise after that storm said there's not much else he could ve done here. >> you want me to go down there with a mop? you know, the fact is that we haeld all the roads cleared, we d had new jersey transit back up. for the people who did sustain flooding, we had folks on the ground to evacuate them as they eded to be evacuated. no one needed to be evacuated. >> firefighters in cape may county reported carrying dozens of people out of their homes over floating chunks of ice. the governor is scheduled to hold a news conference this afternoon. >>> the storm did a real number on newark and progress has been city schools are closed yet again today. they may be again closed tomorrow as snow removal crews are simply overwhelmed. we just got a progress report from the mayor there. jen? >> reporter: that'

i find chris christie talk a lot about experience. and this is not the year to talk about experience. this is the year to talk about upsetting the washington cartel, ted cruz's words and the way that worked against the middle class the past seven years especially. to chris christie, i don't think he has the right message. i do believe he will end up rather poorly in iowa. i think he will end up fourth or fifth place in happen *. but it's d place in new hampshire. i think he's office message and this is not the year for his type of candidacy talking about experience. charles: you tart to do a little -- you start to do a little math and it does feel like there is an establishment lane. if you add up the outsiders, there is a 50% establishment lane. if that start to coalesce you may have a formidable challenger. >> cruz, bush, kasich and rubio are in a dead heat. christie used to be in the big four in new hampshire. but he's been replaced by kasich. they are all within the margin of error of bush and kasich. someone has to have a big nig
