and, you know, tom caine's son has had his own political clashes with governor christie. but the former governor tom caine told me, look, i have no problems with chris christie. i just think this is a serious issue and the people of new jersey deserve a bipartisan look at this to get -- to get to the bottom of it, and he believes that christie's statement does not do that. >> you heard the mayor of fort lee tell us that this is not going to help christie in his bid for the republican presidential nomination if he wants to run for the white house. he does have this image of being a little bit of a bully, a tough guy. >> yes. >> this sort of plays into that, but this is really a disgusting allegation that they would actually endanger the safety and the lives of citizens of new jersey in order to do some political, you know, payback to a mayor, if you will, who didn't endorse him. >> look, it plays into that narrative, wolf, and people who see chris christie as a bully will see him as more of a bully right now. i think the next question that people will be asking politically

i knew david wildstein and met him ton the tom cain for governor campaign. he was a youth volunteer and so was i. after that time i completely lost touch with david. i was the class president and athlete, i don't know what david was doing during that period of time. then we reacquainted years later in i think 2000 when he was helping bob franks with his senate campaign against corzine. we went 23 years without seeing each other. and in the years we did see oech other, we passed in the hallways, i want to clear that up. it doesn't make a difference except that i think some of the stories that are written impute a closeness between me and david that doesn't exist. i know david. and you know, i knew that bill baroni wanted to hire david to come to the port authority. i gave my permission, but that was bill's hire. he asked for permission, i gave my permission to hire david. let's be clear about the relationship. okay? how do i feel about david now? listen, what i read yesterday makes me angry. that's the one bit of anger i felt. that language and that callous i

here's what a friend of his, a mentor, former governor of new jersey tom caine told t"the washington post". he's known christie since the current governor was a teenager faulted christie for establish agriculture in his tight inner circumstance until which no one will ever say no to him, and that is dangerous. he also said that christie's approach to governing is overly aggressive and his agenda is personal. is this a leadership problem for the governor? >> no. i think what you saw the other day was leadership, was something that showed that, look, everyone is fallible, david. i'm fallible. you are. everyone on these panels. we all make mistakes. but the real question is what do you do when mistakes happen? there's no question he admitted mistakes happened. he admitted he trusted people that lied to him. america's a forgiving people. but they're forgiving when you take ownership, you admit mistakes, you take corrective action, and that's what chris christie showed. he stood there for 111 minutes in an open dialogue with the press. now, only if barack obama and hillary clinton would g

i knew david, i met david on the tom cain for governor campaign in 1977. he was a youth volunteer and so was i. really after that time i completely lost touch with david. we didn't travel in the same circles in high school, you know? i was the class president and an athlete. i don't know what david was doing during that period of time. and then we reacquainted years later in, i think, 2000 when he was helping bob franks with his senate campaign against jon corzine. so we went 23 years without seeing each other. and in the years we did see each other, we passed in the hallways. um, so i want to clear that up. it doesn't make a difference except that i think some of the stories the way they're written impute like an emotional relationship and closeness between me and david that doesn't exist. i know david. um, and, you know, i knew that bill barone wanted to hire david to come to the port authority, and i gave my permission for him to do it, but that was bill's hire. he asked for permission, i gave my permission for him to hire david. but let's be clear abou

is a guy that i think should win the heisman trophy for is boldness his name is cain coulter northwestern quarterback tom did you know that he interned at goldman sachs last summer will this kid it has real leadership qualities he's taking a brave stand people are lining up behind him and i just love this mass movement i love all these humble fast food workers that are rising up they want better than seven twenty five dollars an hour these seventeen and eighteen year old kids they know that all the money is trickling not to them they should get a share of it if they're having multiple concussions and need treatment down the line darn right that they should get compensation and help for that down the line so i'm optimistic that we are moving in the right direction the pendulum is swinging back after forty years span you know if the n c w were to implement a payment system how do you think it would work. wow it would blow their minds. it's just not going to happen for a number of years there are going to be kicking and screaming i can't even conceive of it you know what the arguments are going to be these
