joining me is beth and perry bacon. beth, let's talk through what we know now.hese developments, as i mentioned, both the resignation and what has been a fiercely escalating battle with governor christie's aide, david wildstein. >> that was the bombshell on friday. i agree with critics that say this is a bit of a rush to judgment. let's face it, what this has done is make christie look so uncredible as a presidential candidate. that crazy e-mail that his office put out this weekend where he starts ticking through all of the different things that wildstein did as a high school student. >> so people know, they talk about him as a 16-year-old, suing over a local school board election, publicly accused by his social studies teacher of deceptive behavior and, again, all of those items we're mentioning are allegations coming back around from chris christie's aides. >> correct. it was a very unpresidential memo that was sent out. this is not what you do, crazy accusations about somebody's high school tenure. this is a drip, drip, drip and it will continue to wear him d

here to set the record straight, rick perry.t's good to be with you. >> any bad blood? >> no. we are working toward a common goal, and that is to elect as many republicans as we can, on november 2014. are we competitors, you better believe it. we're great competitors, at the end of the day, we're all on the same team, and that's what matters. >> is there really a difference between southern republican governor and a northeast republican governor? >> there's 60 different states out there, there's 50 laboratories of innovation, we all have different philosophies in the standpoint, again, the goal and the result is the same. i don't take the bait and get moved off on the focus. we're all working together to elect these governors, the states that are really performing well, creating the jobs, by and large. nine out of ten top job creates states are republican led. and so that's the discussion americans want to have. who is it out there that can really get this country back working. who can get their states performing at a high level

kate covers buzz feed for congress and perry bacon. kate, let's start right with you, you were recently writing about this and said democrats were hoping liberals would drive turnouts in the midterms, and you heard there what we're reporting, the president today is going to talk about this middle-out growth, a much more populist message. >> this is central for them. when you look at the numbers, african-american voters, women voters, latino voters, it's huge. if they can get just 2% of the electorate who tends to drop off, that could mean democratic wins in swing districts and potentially in swing democratic states where incumbents are trying to hold on appealing to that populist liberal message. >> perry, you were just down in a place where you got senator mcconnell facing attacks on both sides for his right for matt beavan, who is certainly softening him up and what they would call the center left in alison lundergan grimes. however, what we're seeing nationally is 63% favorable ratings for republicans, 61% compared to 53% for democr

i'm joined by perry bacon and alahi izati. thanks to you both. i want to start with you, perry.ely ted cruz. he's really brought this on himself, hasn't he? >> he has. but karen, we should not cry for ted cruz. he's doing exactly what he intended to do. he's come to congress not to make friends but to become kind of a conservative ie dee log. he's going to iowa next month, because he's trying to become president right now and the champion and hero of the tea party voters. i think he's happy to see bob woodward criticizing. he's happy mitch mcconnell doesn't like him. because ted cruz is trying to become the conservative fire brand who's the anti-establishment hero of the tea party. >> here's the thing. seems like the republicans, certainly those up in 2014, have to kind of survive ted cruz and his rebellions in order to get through their own elections. given that he's looking at 2016, he still has people like mitch mcconnell, who's already having to defend that vote back home on raising the debt ceiling. >> yeah, that's exactly right. and to perry's point, i always like to think

unsettled so how do you have a message hey guys it's not obama who's keeping it from you it's rick perry yeah i mean i think you call a spade a spade and put it i think you can do a tremendous series of ad campaigns in activism to show these republicans in the state legislature are preventing you from getting something you should you and folks in twenty five other states have access to there's no reason why you shouldn't have it and folks in illinois do it so i think that's where it starts. and i for democrats this is a very advantageous thing to have happen if you can encourage people to get out there and vote because these republicans are taking away something that you you know gratefully have you have a right to then that's a no brainer it's a good way to win an election it's a good way to drive up turnout and as we know as turnout goes up democrats' chances of keeping the senate and perhaps even taking back the house rise medicaid is funded out of the general fund not out of fica. so. you could make the argument. personalized in the strict area but it's really true of all twenty five

these are big names, bobby jindal and rick perry. it means that not only they but their allies may not be there if he falls. and you want that. >> let me ask you, michael, because as much as things are fraught on the republican side of the coin as it relates to chris christie, there are issues with democratic responses to this entire scandal. you point out, you know, the question of overreach is something that i think a lot of democrats have been asking themselves about. you point out the dnc alone has issued 58 e-mails about the christie administration's role in several alleged acts of american bridge, another democratic research group, has issued 169 requests for information from the christie team. that seems to be having in a weird way the reverse effect at least -- in the party which is maybe endearing christie to hard right conservatives in sort of -- who see him as a victim here. how cognizant do you think the democrats are of this issue of overreaching? >> i'm not sure. i'm a bit surprised at their willingness to discuss their

here is texas governor rick per perry. >> well, that is tough words. pretty tough words.ree that it is not appropriate language to use for the president of the united states. >> and then republican senator rand paul said that ted nugent's derogatory description of the president has no place in politic, and he should apologize, however, knnugent is still out on the campaign trail with greg abbott who is seeking to e replace governor perry. and let's bring in a former special assistant to president obama who is now at the center for republican progress, and al daniella gibbs legett, and also david wynton, a republican strategist. and so now ted nugent has a h history of being political, and why would any politician want to be associated with him and especially those comments. >> the comments were beyond the pale, and he should apologize and no question about that. it is obviously up to abbott to decide what to do, but i am also going to suggest that it is unfortunate reflection of the political discourse made in the country. there were remarks made about senator tim scott t

. >> well, we're also looking into a report that katie perry and john mayer are over. >>> katie is a superstar for a reason. >> aww. >> they were just gushing over each other, but now -- >> did katie perry kick john mayer out of her house? >> who hasn't? >> the moving van at katie's house today. >> plus -- >> did you work things out with robin? >> the first video of paula patton since her sclit. can they avoid a bitter custody fight? >> and how is this hollywood couple making it? mary hart with cindy crawford and randy gerber, inside their malibu life for the first time. >>> plus hair what cindy said when she ended up in bed with george clooney. >> i was like babe, babe, babe, you got to wake up. and it was this babe. it was george. >> a ♪ i am on a night train ? >> the remarkable life of legendary james brown. roxi is on the set of "get on up." >> "e.t's" first with "godfather of the soul." >> and i'm at "saturday night live," with new host, jim parson. and i'm giving him an "snl" quiz. who's hosted "snl" the most times? >> this is very hard. >> now "entertainment tonight." the ente

and the texas governor, rick perry, won't be there either, likely presidential candidate in 2016.uess what? national democrats made sure we all knew about this, blasting out e-mails to those of us in the national political press corps, highlighting the fact that these two top republicans won't be with christie. we at cnn, though, thought it was important enough story to send one of our top political guys, peter handy, down there. he starts reporting later today. john and christine? >> well, the whole world's so interested in how he's doing his job in running the republican governors association. no. the whole world trying to figure out what it means for 2016. what does it mean for his chances, this reception or lack of reception? >> reporter: you know what this is, it's not a great story line for chris christie. he's trying to get back to the perception of business as usual, both as governor of new jersey and as chairman of the republican governors association, which a lot of people see as a stepping stone for him running for the nomination in 2016. so, yes, it is definitely a dis

playing at inaugurations from rick perry, perry's hesitation to denounce it. that's the broader issue. >> the broader issue is this. >> i have to tell you, i actually heard rick perry denounce what ted nugent said and i heard rand paul denounce it. >> rick perry did on repeated questioning from wolf blitzer. >> right. but why should people be denouncing somebody that's not even in elected office? i think the republican party has done a much better job recently in denouncing republicans that say outrageous things that are in elected office. can you police everybody out there? i can tell you, i have absolutely no qualms, none, in saying that what he said is condemnable, it is refutable, it is just despicable. sit no way to speak about any human much less the president of the united states. >> anna, i'm just saying a lot of these other people are not as quick to say what you're saying. they're not. they're doing it under pressure, under questioning and not saying they're not going to be seen with him. >> because he's ted nugent. >> ben, go ahead. >> part of it is

perry, let's let you weigh in. new jersey assemblyman wisniewski said he's skeptical of the governor's explanation. take a listen to this. >> what i've said is i have skepticism about the governor's statement. i haven't said that the governor has responsibility for this. i haven't said that the governor knew when this was happening. that's something wildstein said. i said the governor made a statement about when he knew and i said that i have my doubts about that timeline. >> okay. so after the assemblyman met with the u.s. attorney's office yesterday and promised not to impede the federal investigation, are new jersey democrats at risk of saying maybe too much before all the facts are out? >> they probably should rein in a little bit and turn it away from politics and turn this toward what happened legally. the challenge for christie still is we don't know exactly whether the story he's told that he only learned about the late lane closures from the media is the core of the issue. was he telling the truth in the l

rick perry running where rick perry runs. after the election jury said that -- said, well, you know, in 2012 by one to run for president in the worst wait, and i did. [laughter] as much running to get the monkey off his back. you will see how that because. santorum and huckabee. then you give into the tea party senators. and, you know, ted cruises will we thought rand paul was going to be. you know, the gatt coming into the capitol building with uneasy spraying it in every direction rolling grenades down the aisle and trying to be the most destructive force that he could possibly be. the thing is, in the presidential race the establishment, remember how the establishment, during the time when gingrich was a front runner and the republican establishment just surrounded am and kicked the hell out of the guy, the establishment cannot dictate you will be the republican nominee, but they can share a sell stops somebody, and there is nobody -- i have been in washington 41, almost 42 years. no less come to washington and kicked off

>>> happening now, one-on-one with rick perry.as governor is here live in "the situation room." i'll ask what he thinks of ted nugent's vile comments and whether republicans in their state should be keeping the distance. >>> plus, weathering the storm. chris christie talks sandy in his first town hall meeting since the bridge scandal broke. did he manage to avoid the political storm hanging over his head? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." senator ted cruz may be most outspoken member of the senate and he's been speaking his mind to our chief congressional correspondent dana bash in an interview in texas. they spoke about greg abbott, the republican candidate for governor. he's taking serious heat for appearing with ted nugent who had vile things to say about president obama. >> because we're here in texas, i want to play you something that's been playing all over the airwaves, internationally and nationally. >> a communist-raised, communist-educated subhuman mongrel, like the a.c.o.r.n. community organizer barack h

stay tuned if rick perry runs or not. guess where perry will be next week?ctures of how cold and snowy it is in iowa, but iowa's hot, hot, hot for politics, right? >> reporter: you got it. >> all the talk about 2016 has been about hillary. and you know, it's so interesting, because last night on "piers morgan," walk us through what john mccain says about the hillary chances. >> reporter: this raised some eyebrows. they were talking about 2016, of course, and whether clinton may run or not. listen to john mccain. >> i would bet, my friend, as much as i hate to admit it, that right now, this is why we have campaigns, but right now, if the election were tomorrow, hillary clinton would most likely be the president of the united states. >> yeah, how about that? but you know what he said? hillary clinton wouldn't be my candidate. of course, he's a republican, she's a democrat. one more thing, the first lady on "jimmy fallon" last night. take a listen. oh, no listen, sorry. no sound there. but guess what? her and jimmy fallon have teamed up once before for the heal
