and i think our job and mary pat's decision about leaving her full-time job as we consider this is to to the kids to let them know we'll be there. >> one last question for you. you've been there when there were all these donors in 2011 begging him to run for president. is it a little bit bumpier since the bridge thing? and i'm wondering if it's tough on you to see people that once were supportive of your husband not being supportive? >> i mean it certainly is disappointing when you had throngs of people encouraging you to do this and maybe the enthusiasm isn't as crazy as it was. but what i will tell you because i do make a lot of phone calls is that everyone always says that i know he'd be a great president. and when you have those conversations, it kind of is -- it's reassuring. you know that deep down they know he could do the job and certainly believe in his ability. >> and i think part of this is it's going to be hard no matter what. so i gets lots of people who say to us, you should have done it four years ago. and i tell you one thing i know for sure, i wasn't ready to be presi

. >> waiting for a phone call from mary pat waiting to pray she was ok. i know what it feels like to lose people if they should be safe. at work, at home, on our streets. this is not theoretical to me. i lived it in my own home. everything changed that morning in september. so for the next seven years of my life, my office focused on fighting terrorism every day. >> and there was talk on the trademark tough talks, vladimir putin. >> we should put travel bans and asset freezes on every member of the russian parliament and all of his inner circle. including putin himself. we know who holds the leash on the dogs of war. it's not mess around on this. if that's not enough, we should look at tougher sanctions. >> he talked about entitlement reform, the economy, he's gotten good marks. how will this be received? >> i think it's good for him to be focused on substance. if there will be a path back for him, that is the way. stronger defense, stronger intelligence, stronger alliances, and there is not much more policy substance then there is that the subheads will

we were first reporting on fox business that his wife mary pat had left the hedge fund she was working indicated i'm doing this -- i'm leaving because he's getting ready. he had an interesting op-ed in the wall street journal. which laid out some of his economic agenda. by the way, it's the most concrete economic agenda of all the candidates so far. put it in paper. i think it's pretty interesting. now we hear sources in the republican party. people close to christie, big fundraiser that he's going to try to woo mark zuckerberg to fund his campaign and use it as like a semi endorsement. >> it helped cory booker. there's cory. >> marmark zuckerberg and he has some history. he gave money to his gubernatorial campaign. or his campaign war chest for governor. they -- they apparently agree on school choice and some issues like that. they have a lot of common ground. and they both like each other on facebook. this is true. >> it's hard to get mark zuckerberg to like you on facebook. >> apparently it is. they do. i saw both of them in sun valley. remember the media conference i got thrown out

councilwoman mary pat clark said referring to the unrest surrounding gray's death, "it was an earthquake kind of time and i think we're dealing with the aftershock." joining me, matt taibbi, contributor at "rolling stone" wrote a piece titled "why baltimore blew up." i'm going to give you the argument i would be making if i was a conservative host. >> and they are making. >> this is what happens, you have riots, you have disrespect for the law, you have disorder, people burning and throwing rocks. the police get scared and spooked. they step back. into the vacuum, the thin blue line evaporates and get murder and mayhem unlike you haven't seen in 15 years. there's a certain kind of appeal to that story. >> sure. that story is going to have headline appeal but it's a very small sample size kind of an argument. i think it's difficult to make that argument considering, for instance, what happened in new york in 2014 after stop and frisk was repealed. in fact, crime went down again. as it has been historically over across country for two decades. there's no real correlation to anybody, any cr

. >> jake also had a chance to talk to governor christie with his wife mary pat, by his side.t the troubles facing urban america, the supporters who turn their backs on them when times got tough and how their children feel about their father possibly running for the highest office in the land. >> so i know he hasn't announced anything but theoretically play along with me here theoretically you also would have a job, you also would have a role of prominence. you would be first lady. is that anything you've even thought about? >> oh no. i really haven't. no. i've worked my whole life. and just love being with chris on what we're doing now. just starting this conversation. and hearing people's reactions. so i kind of roll with things. >> one of the things that's emerged this past year or so has been a tremendous amount of unrest in urban environments. you're a former u.s. attorney but by the same token you have reached out to the african-american community. and there are a lot of people in the african-american community who look at law enforcement, especially police officers with

say yet another sign we broke on the story on your show couple of weeks ago that christie's wife mary pat christie quit her job at a hedge fund and yet another example and one more point big op-ed from christie. >> you think that chris christie is the most reagan in economic policy. >> you read my e-mail but taking it out of somewhat context. what i'm saying is this, if you look at all of the guys, all of the republican contenders some of them have laid out, you know -- sort of bits and pieces of their economic agenda chris christie is first to lay out coherently his economic agenda in reagan terms. awaiting for that from jeb bush and everybody else. we don't know. >> all right we'll take that john. give credit where credit is due please. >> great. i agree.
