mr. christie. i was wondering, what was the message being communicated after the week of 9/11? it was -- it was a tough day for the country. it was a tough day to be in the white house. a tough day for me to advise the vice president of the united states. our entire focus went from what tocall domestic priorities working on a tax-cut to domestic consequences. we grounded all civil aviation. we closed most of the maritime ports in the country. a few days later the president had a national prayer celebration. in the days after the celebration the focus went to prayer and remembrance. who brought the opportunity to heal as a country. what our message was, president bush tried to reassure the country that every agency and every entity was doing everything that they could to prevent an attack on the country again and that we needed to move forward and heal and that the terrorists would win if we succumbed and set around and felt sorry for ourselves. was very difficult for us as a country and very difficult in the white house, but ultimately -- julie mentioned this earlier, you notic

mr. christie today. listen to how he put it to the audience he was speaking to over at the iowa historical society. >> iowa is an extraordinarily important state for us. we intend to be here and compete hard for every vote we can in the caucuses. >> reporter: that's a bold statement for new jersey governor chris christie. it was thought because he's from the east coast and because of some of his past controversies he might not be able to communicate well with the midwestern sensibilities of hospitality and politics. yet, six of those republicans joining him today to say they want him to be the winning candidate here. a lot of them are coming here as well. kasich is coming here. bobby jindal, marco rubio is stepping it up as well. all as a consequence of the scott walker and rick perry withdrawals. tomorrow is a critical day. it's the end of the third quarter fund raising period. the third quarter, the last three months is when every single candidate, every single campaign tries to put as much money in th

mr. christie. i was wondering, what was the message being communicated after the week of 9/11?>> it was a tough day for the country. it was a tough day to be in the white house and it was a tough day to advise, for me, the vice president of the united states. our entire focus went from what we call domestic priorities, getting no child left behind passed, to working on a tax cut, to domestic consequences. how do we reopen new york city beneath 14th street. we grounded all civil aviation. and closed most of the maritime ports in the country. and the president, a few days later, had the national prayer celebration. and in the days after 9/11, our focus went to prayer and remembrance for those who had lost their lives and as well as the opportunity to try to heal as a kurn. so when you look at what our message was, the president tried to reassure the country that every agency and entity was doing everything they could not -- to prevent an attack on the country again and we needed to move forward and we needed to heal and the terrorists would win if we succumbed and sat around and

earlier this morning, new jersey governor chris christie, mr. 2% appeared on the fox news channelle and they made a big show of him signing the pledge like there was suspense about it for him. >> the pledge for you, sir. here's the pledge. we printed it out. we heard you hadn't signed it. are you running as an independent? >> i'm not. and i don't need reince priebus to meet with me personally before doing this. september 3, '15. i signed. >> we'll put it on the pile. good to see you. >> that's not a number 2 pencil. >> no, no. all ink, baby. >> all ink. it's a funny thing to ask chris christie to go through signing the thing. he's going to leave the republican party where he's polling at 2% and harness the great groundswell of support by running a third party campaign that anybody will notice let alone care about? right. come on. who else in the giant republican field poses the remotest threat of running a third party candidacy that would have any effect on anything whatsoever. why have this pledge? the only reason the republican party did the pledge is for one canada at that time, so d

mr. trump. because christie is not a successful businessman like mr.p and he wants that position of the president of the united states because he'll probably make more money. unlike my boss who is losing a lot of money working so hard to make america great again. no, absolutely not. as you have probably seen the drudge report as well as the times, 52%, 55% said mr. trump just overwhelmingly won that debate last night. and that is from the voters, not the two people that randy had interviewed prior. >> well she interviewed more than that. but we only had time to show two. but i get your point. >> i know. in iowa there are like 40 people there. so 40 people versus, you know, over, what a million people voted last night seeing mr. trump hands down won that debate. >> well, politico has an interesting story this morning and they talked to iowa caucus goers about the performance, especially of mr. trump and carly fiorina. and i just want to read a quote from that political article. she, fiorina, caused the fifth and final bankruptcy of donald trump. bankrup

mrs. clinton's. >> governor christie, your name was mentioned. to give you a chance to respond. >> it's an important point and the question is who will prosecute hillary clinton? the obama white house seems to have no interest. the justin department seems to have no interest. it's time to put a former federal prosecutor on the same stage as hillary clinton and i'll prosecutor her in the debate on the stage for the record that we're talking about, the fact she had a private e-mail server using national security secrets running through it, could have been hacked by the russians, the chinese, or two 18 year-olds wanting to have fun. she knows she's wrong and she can't look in the mirror at herself and she can't tell the american people the truth. >> there's a whole lot more coming up ahead. a world of trouble, the challenge that one of these candidates may face in the oval office and how hoe or she will handle it. stay with us. when you're not confident you have complete visibility into your business, it can quickly become the only thing you think a

prompting this response from new jersey governor chris christie at a town hall in iowa. >> mr. trump last night said, let's leave isis alone. let assad and the russians take care of that and we'll clean up afterwards. sounds mysteriously, to me, like what the clintons said about al qaeda. and then al qaeda made their way here. >> we're going to hear more from governor christie later on on "morning joe." >>> trump stayed on the attack yesterday about other members of the republican field, tweeting about senator rand paul's campaign. quote, prediction, rand paul has been driven out of the race by my statements about him. he will announce soon, 1%, and quote i hope when rand paul gets out of the race, he is at 1%, his supporters come over to me. i will do a much better job for them. >>> paul is actually at 3% in the latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. but there are signs of trouble for hit campaign, a super pac supporting his candidacy has decided to stop raising money until it sees improvements. but the person in charge saying he doesn't want to raise more for a quote, fu

mr. trump. i hear hillary clinton upset. i hear bernie sanders. i hear chris christie. and i hear the media. i don't hear anybody on the streets, the average person upset with mr. trump because mr. trump did nothing wrong last night. >> ms. johnson, let me ask you this. >> he did absolutely nothing wrong. >> if you think he did nothing wrong, let me just change the question, if someone got up in that audience and said we've got a problem in this country, it's the jews and donald trump had responded in the same way, would you be okay with that? >> you know what, chris? i'm jewish. and i wouldn't have been offended with that question at all because of the fact that the person has -- it's our first amendment right. he asked a question. mr. trump said that he'll look into it. he's heard other issues, other people speak about this. he said nothing wrong. he didn't offend the president but he said nothing wrong last night. you know what happens here? if mr. trump had defended the president you would have attacked him on that. no matter what he says or he doesn't say there's always an attack by the

mr. trump, you are talking about barack obama. his brother did keep us safe. and then later, chris christie, when he was talking about 9/11 in a way that could have been maudlin, actually turned out to be pretty moving and strong, and in the end said, i was proud to serve with george w. bush. in a way, it was a party coming together to not only protect jeb bush against donald trump but the previous administration. >> i also thought the earlier exchange where bush asked trump to apologize to his wife was not effective for bush because trump did what he always does, he refused. then bush kind of sloughed away without taking a firm stance, and that's what trump does. you can't make a statement depending upon his response because he could say anything. >> yes, as everybody has pointed out, don't ask a question you don't know the answer to. let's back pedal for a moment with that earlier comment with carly fiorina. when she said she believed american women heard him, you could hear that applause, and in addition to the women, a very clear male sound of applause. that should give a message to don
