the gentleman from new jersey. mr. andrews: mr. speaker, i'm pleased to yield to a very persuasive voice against outsourcing, my friend from new jersey, mr. holt, for 1 1/2 minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. holt: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the outsorcerers bill of rights. this bill would be devastating to workers across this country and tick off a new race to the bottom. the outsorcerers bill of rights is a naked attempt to directly interfere in a pending labor relations board case. now, there's much to be said about workers' rights and the importance of protecting them, but in the short time i have, let me just say a little bit about what this means for the american economy. it makes it easier to ship jobs overseas. it eliminates the only remedy to force companies to bring work back from overseas. companies that make a commitment to the welfare of their employees, well-run companies, and make commitments to their home communities, rather than shopping to b

he's a new jersey guy and always dreamed of the new jersey governorship. early in his career he was elected to a county board. it was rise of chris christie. there wasn't youtube or tv cameras but county officials that resented this guy and they basically drove him out of county politics, defeated for a race for state legislature and defeated in a republican primary to the county freeholder board in new jersey and at 34 it looked like his career was over. the lesson he draws from that, there's a risk in doing too much too soon, reaching too far too soon. he got elected governor two years ago. everybody's saying going national. he looks back early in his career, if i run for president now, that's an all or nothing proposition, if i lose, i can't go back to new jersey. do i want to give it all up for something as iffy as this? in i end, he probably won't. >> i love tom kean, when he says he thinks the odds are now better that christie will run for president. the odds being better than zero. i mean, here's a guy who's threatening to kill himself if necessary

now this just into us tonight from the reagan library in california, just moments ago, new jersey governoris christie was asked directly about his 2012 intentions, and he did make some news. let's take a look at what he had to say. >> governor christie, you're known as a straight shooter, one not given to playing games. can you tell us what's going on here? are you reconsidering or are you standing firm? >> listen, i have to tell you the truth, you folks are an incredible disappointment as an audience. the fact that that took till the second question -- [laughter] -- shows you people are off your game. that is not american exceptionalism. listen, i'll be succinct about this. i saw something great on the politico website, but they put a minute and 53 seconds of my answers strung back to back together on the question of running for the presidency. everyone go to politico.com. i'm not going to bore with you it. those are the answers. >> sean: he's not running. >> not running. >> what did you think of the poll? >> i think it's interesting. a lot of people say people aren't happy with the field

deborah feyerick, cnn, summit, new jersey. >> former new jersey governor tom cain is back with us. how do you make children more comfortable with this topic? >> with great sensitivity. this is probably the most important event that's happened in modern history. children are surrounded by it and the world has been clangds by it. so children have to be taught, of this' got to be taught gently, understand the tragedy, understand the heros and the heroins, the sacrifice of the families, they've got to understand how the world has changed because of that. it's a very important part of the school curriculum. i think new jersey has done a good job. >> its goes beyond teaching just the day but about diversity, how words can have an impact, how the things you say can hurt people. it's a broader kind of discussion. >> it's a huge discussion. and it brings up the most important things in public life and you can teach through this terrible event. you can teach very valuable lessons to children. and what can happen when the world goes out of control. it's similar to teaching the holocaust actua

we are all from new jersey. if you give that, you are getting it back. >> never mind. >> if you are running the country, what would you do to win people -- wean people off entitlement stacks what would you -- entitlements? would you do to turn around the country? >> we have examples of what we have done in new jersey. equivalent on the federal level is medicare, public sector pensions, and health benefits provided. i mention that those items where underfunded when i took office. $121 billion underfunded. that is four times our annual state budget. what did we do? i went out september 2010. i put out a specific plan. not a plan that says all of light to rein in these expenses. if i can come to agreement with the other side of will tell you what they are. no. that is not leadership. [cheers and applause] i set some very specific things. i said you have to contribute more to pensions. we're not going to pay coal as any longer until your funds reach eighties thermos solvency. we will make sure that only full time pe

he's a new jersey guy and always dreamed of the new jersey governorship. early in his career he was elected to a county board out in new jersey. it was supposed to be the first rise of chris christie. he's doing the whole rise of a bull in a china shop. there wasn't youtube or tv cameras but county officials that resented this guy and they basically drove him out of county politics, defeated for a race for state legislature and defeated in a republican primary in his re-election county free holder board in new jersey, and at 34 years old it looks like chris christie's career was absolutely over. the lesson he draws from that, there's a risk in doing too much too soon, reaching too far too soon. he got elected governor two years ago. now everybody's talking about going national, and i think he looks back to that moment early in his career and says if i run for president now, that's an all-or-nothing prop pigs. if i lose, i can't go back to new jersey. i'm going to lose in 2013. i'm going to be a lame duck. do i want to give it all up for something as iffy a

he's already visited two communities from new jersey, wayne new jersey and right now in paterson, new jersey and he has been meeting and greeting with residents and getting out of the motorcade and telling them that the united states is there to help them with federal disaster relief. he also stopped briefly and made a statement in which he said that he wants people to know that america is behind them and that everyone women support them. that there is federal money, enough to meet its obligations to help people recover from hurricane irene. we're also going to show you know where we are in paterson, new jersey, this is a command post where they are setting up. 600 people in the city of paterson remain without power and don't have enough inspectors working today apparently to go out and help out some people. but they have been inspecting these homes to make sure that they are safe before they turn the power back on. we're also helping out with other information, for example, verizon set up free phone lines. we want to show you a quick side by side. we showed you a picture of a car tha

now chris christie does what over governor of new jersey does. gives a foreign policy address at the reagan library. come on. we have a bunch of candidates there who are real people who are running, do them the service of paying attention to them. if you are not going to run get out of the way. >> bill: do you think voters would hold it against chris christie if he did run and bailed on the state. do you think that would be hold against him as some voters hold it against sarah palin who resigned her governorship in alaska? >> well, the history is on the side of running. bill clinton promised the voters of arkansas in 1990 to serve out his term. and he carried arkansas when he ran. it would be three years into his governorship if elected in 2009. it's a four year governorship. the other point is he is probably not going to get reected in new jersey. it's a democratic state. >> bill: i think he will get reelected. >> after republicans elected in 12, which they will, 13 will be probably a democratic year. they are right when they said the lightning

continue with the burning question of the moment in american politics, will governor chris christie of new jersey run for the republican nomination for president? joining the conversation, tom defrank of the "new york daily news," nia-malika henderson of the "washington post," matthew dowd, former strategist for george w. bush,john harris of politico and jack welch former c.e.o. of general electric. >> a decisive leader. somebody who's done something in new jersey that's special. and has done the real thing, who seems to be totally authentic. it's a very attractive characteristic. >> he's smart enough to understand that it's the wrong time for him. that he's not ready to be president which i think makes him presidential timbr to tell yothe truth. i have twoords for governor christie, fred thompson. >> i think the two questions governor christie hasto answer-- and we always answer the first question-- is are you ready to run? and i think that's the a question you've got to answer. but the second question which i think is an important question is are you ready to governor? and i think barack obama

president obama walked the streets of wayne, new jersey, with governor chris christie, new jersey's senators and fema administrator, craig fugate, to view the damage left by hurricane irene. >> we'll be here to help. i know, it's very hard. >> reporter: his next stop, patterson, where he visited the newly created fema office and assessed the recovery efforts. he also delivered a message to those still struggling. >> i know there's been some talk about whether there's going to be a slowdown in getting funding here. as president of the united states, i want to make it very clear that we are going to meet our federal obligations. >> reporter: and while the president was met mostly by cheering crowds, amy allen, who caught a glimpse of the motorcade, said the visit hasn't done anything to get her power back on. >> this is day six without any electricity, any hot water. >> reporter: even before the hurricane hit, patterson was struggling economically, with an unemployment rate above 16%. irene caused 1,500 people to be evacuated, and knocked out power to thousands in the area. destroying some hom

new jersey governor christie in the faye of renewed rumors and new doubts with rick perry and new publicading from named republican billionaires saying they want him to run, chris christie asked tonight if if he was going to get in the race, referred the question of a montage on politico.com. the best new things in the world delayed until tomorrow. renewed speculation delayed until his next speech. >>> put to rest. new jersey governor chris christie once again addresses speculation of a 2012 presidential run. >>> day in court. michael jackson's personal

. >> that is a new jersey resident, and in new york gov. andrew cuomo. towns and cities in new jersey, upstate new york, vermont, along the places wrecked by floodwaters created by irene. as a consequence, fema's disaster relief fund reportedly has less than $800 million t. what about long-term projects ? eric cantor this week -- the left is jumping over him for saying this -- "when there is a disaster, there is inappropriate for will and we will -- an appropriate federal and we will find money for that. these need to be offset by cuts elsewhere." this has upset a lot people, charles. why? >> if you interpreted as we need office to date, nobody in new jersey will get help -- we need offsets today, nobody in new jersey will get help. that is not what he said. we ought to offset it, the way we offset anything when we are bankrupt. that makes sense to me t. >> we don't offset wars, apparently did the fema money has been appropriated in a somewhat similar fashion to war preparations. i want to say one thing before we get back to fighting this. we spend a lot

new jersey governor chris christie said for months he will not run for president. susan mcginnis in washington getting us started. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, terrell. he is still ducking questions about it, but it is possible that all of the prodding and pleading really does have governor christie thinking twice. new jersey governor chris christie steered clear of any presidential talk at a rally for louisiana governor bobby jindal. >> we want there to be more and more successful people in louisiana and america. >> reporter: republican insiders tell cbs news christie is seriously considering jumping into the gop race, putting the odds at 50/50. >> i've had a slow week, very low key. you haven't seen me around at all. >> reporter: the first-term governor repeatedly rejected growing calls for him to run. but this week supporters unhappy

he's at over 54% right now which is pretty tremendous for a blue state like new jersey. so it certainly hasn't hurt him. there's a theory that maybe, you know, new jerseyans who might be skeptical of him, they see him go around the country, get a standing ovation all over the place and there must be something to him. so they like him because everybody else likes him. maybe that's what's going on. >> mark, quickly before we go, do you have a bet on whether he's going to run? >> i wouldn't dare do that on american television. the point is confusion. that's what the point is. >> "philadelphia inquirer" reporter matt katz. thanks for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >>> on monday we showed video of an nypd officer pepper spraying a group of peaceful protesters in the wall street protest. now we have new video that shows that officer that reveals exactly what that officer did to other protesters. we also have his name and his rank. all of that will be in the "rewrite." >>> on monday as we reported here, the new york city police department said that pepper spray was used again

senator frank lautenberg from new jersey and frank palone of new jersey. thank you. read something here, "the new york times" reports today, i know you've read, that the two of you have a chilly relationship, you and governor christie. the story says that the governor's referred to you as so out of touch and so partisan and said that you blow hot air. that's his description of your work. and that you called him or said that he's the king of liars. are those quotes accurate, senator? >> well, his quote about me is one of more generous ones, i'll tell you that. >> about yours about him? >> he persists in lying himself. he lied to the head of our general assembly. he lied to our speaker, our president of the senate, when during a snowstorm he said he was in touch regularly. and the fellow said he never heard from him. he lied to the firefighters when he said the last thing he would do, furthest thing from the truth, would be to fool around with their pension plan. and the first thing he did when he was elected is make the adjustments that really hurt them. so he's a per

without power but that could have improved a little bit today. >> michelle franzen in patterson, new jersey for us. thanks very much. >>> now to vermont. look at these new satellite photos, showing the extent of the damage at the peco mountain ski resort in killington. at the same time makeshift roads and aid deliveries are finally linking communities to the outside world again, after days of isolation. the headline in the "burlington free press" says it all. reconnected. nbc's ron mott is live for us in killington, vermont. ron, i saw your reporting last night. the good news, i feel like we get more good news out of vermont every day, in the last couple days, than we have out of new jersey. >> reporter: yeah. hey, chuck. the good news here is that they hopefully will be able to get a second lane here. they are playing really car dodge here, cars going eastbound, cars wanting to come westbound, you got service vehicles coming in and out. this is a very critical intersection right now, especially for communities up on killington mountain. but those two are east, like woodstock where there's

czech republic via new jersey.ice florida where he settled with the pilot who would fly united flight 175 into the world trade center south tower. already there was a lebanese man 26-year-old sahid he would crash united flight 93 into the ground in shanksville, pennsylvania. atta and jara made this video together as their last will and testament. san diego, all started taking flying lessons. atta was constantly on the move. flying to spain in january of 2001. after his return, he and shahe moved again into this apartment in coral springs, just outside miami. were they using a support network which had been in america for decades? >> what you have in terms of a support system are another layer of people who kind of know what these guys are about but don't want to ask a lot of questions. >> andrew mccarthy was the late prosecutor in the world trader center bombing of 1993. >> to the extent that they can give them some help, you know, whether it's with housing or money or jobs or training. they can later tell whoever

plus, he insists he's not interested, but if chris christie of new jersey really doesn't want to run for president, why is he giving a speech out in california tonight at the reagan library on american exceptionalism? the latest on the case of will he or won't he just keeps going. also, try to get your head around this one. some employers are posting help wanted ads saying no unemployed candidates will be considered. get that. no unemployed will be considered for employment. by the way, didn't governor romney say that corporations are people? and the inartful dodger, mitt romney meeting with donald trump, but having his aides play scarecrow so the media couldn't get any pictures of the meeting with the strumpster. it's a classic case of romney trying to have it both ways. finally, republican voters don't seem to like any of their candidates. jon stewart has a theory. maybe the problem isn't the candidates, maybe it's the republican voters. we start with what we call the obama derangement syndrome, for lack of a better term. ron christie is a republican strategist who's not deranged.

he has just landed in new jersey. take -- this evening mitt romney is making his tea party day because headlining an event in new hampshire. for a movement he has done little to rule before now. it looks like he's in for a bumpy ride on the tea party express bus as factions squabble over whether he should have been invited to the party at all. >> romneycare is the base of a lot of tea party frustration with the governor. our protest just about romneycare it is his support of wall street bailouts, support for ethanol. his unwillingness to stan with paul ryan on real balanced budget her shushes, real entitlement -- measures, real entitlement reform. now, when you want powerful wifi, you've got it. with aerizon mobile hotspot, you can connect up to 5 wifi devices to the internet with lightning-fast verizon 4g lte speed. a gaming device. mp3 pler. connect any 5 for wifi on the go. get the 4g lte mobile hotst now for only $49.99. verizon is the place with the largest selection of 4g lte devices. on america's fastest, most
