so what exactly is the problem in new jersey? >> well, the problem is new jersey is they allow the edibles for these kids that have these ailments, the edibles being the oil you can put on the food that they ingest. the problem is that the oils aren't available here in new jersey because it was just signed into law recently. so here you have kids that are allowed to take it but they can't get -- the products is not in any of the medical marijuana clinics. so there's a proposal before the legislature to allow shipment from say colorado because it already has this plant, this oil, this extract that the kids can take to help with their ailments. but christie is refusing to sign it afraid that this is going to expand illicit pot use. but -- >> you don't get stoned. >> exactly. so it's a moot point for them. >> in that case, i think chris christie, that he's being a hard ass for no real reason. the children need it and it's also evident of how differently various states, more than a dozen states have medical marijuana, washington stat

it involves this bridge between the state of new jersey and new york city. all week long, i've been calling this the busiest bridge in the country. if you go to the website, they're proud to tell you it is not just the busiest bridge, it is the busiest bridge in the whole world. you say so. the bridge is huge. it takes it more than $600 million every year in revenue in tolls. and that's how rich the agency is that runs it and that takes in the tolls. that's why it's a real perk of the job of being governor of new jersey or new york that you get to appoint people to the agency which runs this bridge like a casino. he was trying to maximize his election trying to stage manage his election so it would set him up. his campaign tried to set him up to make sure he had bipartisan appeal. one of the new jersey democrats who reportedly was asked to endorse chris christie but said no, was the mayor of ft. lee. right at the spot where that busiest bridge in the world connects to new jersey. two weeks after that democratic mayor refused to endorse chris christie, a long

for the next three years i lived and breathed new jersey politics, lived and breathed new jersey and it. i didn't cover it out of the state house, i covered the county bosses, the turf wars, the machine battles, that is where the real action and real decisions were, where every decision that mattered was made. every state is unique, but they don't play politics like they do in new jersey. i tell everybody i got a master's degree in practical politics. when i started that job, wally helped tell who people were, helped fill in back stories, all on instant messenger, of course. mostly he gave me autonomy, i knew what i needed to cover, he didn't interfere. and basically it worked. i learned a ton. i made more than my share of mistakes but i did a lot of work i'm proud of, too. we got the credibility wally wanted when he hired me. i ended up co-hosting a show on new jersey politics. when i started, wally offered to share his real identity with me, but i refused. i wanted to be able to honestly tell people i had no idea. only when i left the site after three years, i finally gave in. we m

the issue here though, not just for new jersey and certainly not for ft. lee, but for potentially the whole country and chris christ christie's national role as a political leader, it's not whether the bridge is -- the question, the reason why this is an important national story and why democratic groups and the democratic national committee are getting on board, the question is why did this all happen in the first place? what was the motive for doing this in the first place? was it political retaliation? was it chris christie abusing the powers of his office to get ahead politically or at least to get revenge politically? as fascinating as the details have been on this story and the new details are better than like every episode of "the sopranos" except where carmelo pulls the gold off ceiling, the basic issue here and the reason it's a national story here and not just the most new jersey story of all time is because of what he has not explained. an explanation that seemed -- that is actually emerged as the only logical explanation. democrats in new jerse

, new york and new jersey both run it. w york and new jersey each run one side. it is the two state agencies together. when they finally decided to explain what was going on with fort lee, they put out a message explaining what was going on because of a traffic study. the problem was, there was no record of any such traffic study anywhere. and nobody heard of any traffic study conducted. and so as these things tend do do, because the supposed explanation made no sense, that made everybody wonder what the real explanation was. and that made the story get bigger, and then the story got weirder. "the wall street journal" has done some excellent reporting on this issue, and turns out the lane closures were ordered by one specific guy. republican activist, republican blogger, former mayor of new jersey, who was a buddy of the governor, chris christie, he had been given a political appointment to this agency, the one that runs the bridge. they testified later that when chris christie's old buddy, when he gave the order to close d

a month ago that question was only being asked in local new jersey media. then the national media and now on capitol hill hill. this is the traffic-gate scandal. at issue is an allegation from the democratic mayor of the new jersey town of ft. lee that sit at the entrance of the george washington bridge. that christie's appointees made a punitive decision to close two of the three access lanes on the bridge leading into his town. causing a traffic nightmare for ft. lee residents. half hour commutes taking four hours and kids showing up late to their first day of school. christie's appointees claimed they closed the lanes in order to do a traffic study. but the head of the agency that oversees the bridge said he has heard nothing about a terrific study. christie's allies closed the access lane to get back at the lee mayor because the mayor had conspicuously refused to support the mayor for reelection. christy has denied that allegation, even tried to turn them into a joke. >> i worked the cones, i was actually the guy out there, i was in overalls and a hat,
