you have massive speculation by those riding into scottsdale arizona with a $5,000 to on the back ofnmower. the point is two or 3% money from the fed. neil: but it cannot explain the nationwide recovery. some of that has to be legitimate? >> some of that is due to the fact of the 10 year bond rate and with it became the mortgage rate. we forced interest rates to rock-bottom said economic so therefore everybody refinanced and there was some activity in the market and in many markets prices are back up in bubble territory not on organic demand. neil: i am not being an apologist but where we were we are back to where we were. >> for 11 years housing went up each and every month the 11 years in a row by 200%. that is not normal. neil: 200%? >> 11 years. neil: okay. so that said easy monday -- easy money printing press mentality. the crash killed us and housing was a disaster. and it is only a matter of time the stock market, led junk-bond market and of course, the biggest bubble of all. i wish i knew but i do know that when you have the fed buying 85 billion per month to put the interest

christie took the reins today at the group's annual gathering being held in scottsdale, arizona this year. part of the mission is to rebrand the republican party with the message we're focused on serving problems in a conservative way and we're not as focused on president obama in washington. that's something that governor christie emphasized a couple of hours ago in a news conference. >> you talk about the common sense solutions we are bringing to the people of our state and the things that are getting done on their behalf. and that's what our focus is going to continue to be. >> nbc's kelly o'donnell joins us live. so kelly, we know a big part of the story line is if -- i guess his colleagues love him as much as an parentally the voters -- apparently as the voters in new jersey and if he can avoid the missteps that mitt romney fell into when he led the group and had his sights set on the white house. >> well, tamron, there's certainly a check in the box for chris christie because his republican colleagues chose him to be that are leader for next year and bobby jindal of louisiana t
