. >> now, at the news conference in trenton, christie defended the cost of the special election, i don't know what the cost is and i quite frankly don't care. >> we would have been sued for 2014. the democrats have made that clear. $12 million cost will not insubstantial is i don't think something in the context of a $32 billion budget, something that should dissuade us from getting a senator down there as quickly as we can. >> republicans have yet to step up and say they're running. you have former bogota mayor running who ran against christie in the 2009 primary. he became the first republican to get in the race on wednesday. other names b that have been mentioned as possible candidates include the lieutenant governor, and former state senator, the deputy executive director of the port authority of new york and new jersey. looking at chris christie's moves this week, there's one unmistakable beneficiary and that's cory booker. on paper, christie's decisions have essentially gift wrapped this seat for booker. needed multiple challengers. needed a quick process. oh, and he didn't want to

[laughter] that we would get there, and we did, but somebody asked my father why he drove a cadillac? it was an unacademic thing to do. he said, well, only because nobody will sell me a tank.

in trenton today.moment for the governor because not only is he thinking about what's going to happen in the state of new jersey and how to repair and appoint someone in the late frank lautenberg seat but also about his political future. republicans close to this process assume that no matter how christie interprets the law regarding the special election, someone will sue and get courts to clarify. that's why christie wants to set things in motion. as we talk about that, again, 1:30 today, chris christie. what are the scenarios we can expect? >> right. i've been told that christie yesterday had already set his sights on former governor tom keane sr. that's his ideal pick. that's the moderate governor of new jersey. that's the person he thinks would be best able to serve in this interim appointment. the question, though, remains whether keane wants to do it. he's not to be confused with tom keane jr., who lost a senate race a few years ago by about eight or nine points. keane would be a strong pick. the

november twenty fourth team and it's time to start getting ready and start participating so cheri in trenton new jersey a jury sure you want to talk about snow i have a job for you but i have a quote i do not inquire if you don't get it were you know it and if the chinese are not used i'm going to damage. my theory of information sure ok got protective yeah sure that's going to be really interesting to watch how this plays out i mean right now it's it's. i'd say from the chinese point of view if you like to do it yeah yeah i do sherry thanks for the call i think from the point of view of the chinese this is worked out well because it is making hong kong look like a paragon of virtue you know a place where free speech is is you know just wild and the rules in hong kong are slightly different than mainland china but all that said i don't think that snowden is trying to play chinese spy or spy for china against the united states or anything like that he made it very clear that he was not about that and you know i take him at his word i think that i valerie plame i believe it was today valerie p

the looming question right now in trenton, larry. just spoke to my sources there.ar christie will make a decision by friday afternoon. there's going to be an announcement this week. top of the list, tom cain senior, former governor. second on the list, tom cain jr., his son, a state senator. third on the list, a state senator who ran against bob mendez, but lost. >> it's going to be a republican. i saw speculation, he might appoint a democrat. he's going to appoint a republican. there's going to be a primary. in fact, there costa, there's going to be two primaries. one on the republican side. the other on the democratic side. frank pallone is going to run against cory booker. and all those names you mentioned, except tom cain senior, may primary each other. >> that's exactly right. here's the thing why it's going to be tempting for some republicans to run in this august primary. even though the window to run is so small. they look at the democratic primary, and they think pallone, who is from long branch, new jersey, connected to the democratic machine. he could up

i talked to sony gaming chief jack trenton earlier today, first on cnbc about the console market, he'she console isn't going away. >> i still think the console is the ultimate gaming experience, and it opens the ecosystem with smartphones and tablets. people tend to migrate up the food chain to the dedicated console. i think the console will outlast my career. not going anywhere anytime soon. >> reporter: this new console environment will be good for gaming companies like ea. they launched 11 games or showed off 11 games here at e3, hoping those will catch on with gamers. i think the wired card is what will apple and amazon do this fall. we're expecting to see new tablets from them which should continue to drive growth. who knows if we have a tv from apple, that could eat quite a bit into holiday spending budgets. for cnbc, jon fortt. >> nokia turning folk us away from some products in favor of windows platform. we have comments from the president of the court presiding over the ecb hearings. he's saying the ecb's conditionality could be a good middle ground. it could help draw the lin

their minds was an option, there was an opinion leaked from the office of legislative services in trenton that said, yeah, our opinion is christie can appoint through 2014. if you're a national republican you're saying we can get a republican senator from a blue state well into next year. did this guy screw us over here. >> two ways for republicans to win the seat you have to have someone on the ballot with christie in november or on the ballot in 2014. to have a random october prime merck instead of having august prime merck it's difficult. many top republicans in new jersey, tom cane jr., saying no thanks to the race. >> what can we say about this senate race? we'll talk more about corey booker later. from the pub standpoint the only candidate who steps forward is steve loni began, the conservative who ran against christie in 2009 in the republican primary and a few years before that. he's a bit out there in new jersey. are we saying republicans have sacrificed their chance at seat now? >> definitdefinitely. i spoke with his chief strategist last night, they're on pace to get 1,000 sign

from cyber threats by working together across the government to protect, as i said, the domains of trenton, dot gov and dot com. second, i want to examine the agencies will use cybersecurity funding in the budget. the administration is requesting over $13 billion for fiscal 2014. in this very stringent environment we are concerned about techno- boondoggles. the government is often very good at spending money but we need to make sure we spend the money well. over the years there have been failures and inefficiencies in government i.t. programs and we don't want to happen as we move forward in this cyber domain. i call this hearing as the full committee chairwoman to work across the subcommittees to make sure there aren't stovepipes, to make sure as we look at this the questions whenever there to governance, are we developing the right technologies to protect us, are we investing in the work force we need, and how do we protect our civil liberties. i am so proud of my subcommittee chairs. i want to acknowledge the work of senator durbin and the ranking member cochran on defense. i want to ac

here's thursday's announcement from trenton. >> i am honored today to let you all know that i tend to appoint new jersey state attorney general jeff chiesa. i have known jeff for 22 years and he has been an extraordinary public servant in the time i'd gone to know him. a graduate of the university of notre dame, catholic university of american law school with outstanding private practice attorney. assistant united states attorney rising to leadership positions in the united states attorney's office, chief counsel to the governor my first two years as governor and now they new jersey attorney general. i said on monday that i was going to select the person who i thought would be the best person to represent new jersey between now and the sober 16th when all new jerseyans get an opportunity to elect the person to succeed the late senator frank lautenberg. during the last few days since i've gotten to deliberate on this decision it became clear to me that attorney general chiesa would be the best person to represent the people of the state of new jersey and the united states senate. so i

really thinks it will be the latter when he was presenting jeff chiesa, the attorney general, in trenton said the politics of this we will look back in retrospect and somebody will be a genius. for now criticism of the cost of the special election we have talked a lot about here on "morning joe." picking one of his best friends, but governor christie is convinced after a big win by him and as soon as this special election kicks in with corey booker and another republican, that this will go away. national republicans would have liked a more frankly political pick to help give them a leg up on this seat, but the attorney general is very, a, political. the governor actually went to his house monday night, the night of senator lautenberg's death and asked him if he wanted to do it. the next day, the attorney the next day, the attorney general texted him and said, make a wish! i wish we could lie here forever. i wish this test drive was over, so we could head back to the dealership.

trenton, you're next.up into the hudson valley. more downpours. we're going to get soaked by one or two of these thunderstorms. we could see another 1 to 2 inches of rain in areas that don't need it. the other thing, little dangerous today, from d.c. southwards all the way down through raleigh, charlotte, columbia. we could get some strong storms with the chance for some isolated tornadoes. we don't need tornadoes this afternoon so let's hope it stays cloudy. the other story, it was so hot out in the west, sacramento was 110 on saturday. we were very hot through salt lake city yesterday. that heat is spreading now into areas like denver and into texas. while the cool air and the rainy air is all in the east. the heat is really going to be felt. look at dallas today at 97. look at the rest of the week in the big d. 100 on thursday. 101 on friday. it looks like spring is over in the central plains. summer heat is here to stay. we leave you with a shot washington, d.c. kind of cloudy, kind humid and murky. mo

rights one with american blood on -- won on the american battlefield in trenton, princeton, saratoga, and yorktown, among others. mr. speaker, america faces a policy debate between privacy and national security. 50 years ago our fauxes were -- foes were well-known nation states like communist china and the soviet union. now our enemies may be foreign neighbors, foreign tourists, or foreign students. foreign terrorists seek chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons of mass destruction that can destroy an american city or murder hundreds of thousands of americans in a single attack. as america seeks the proper balance between our privacy rights and national security, one thing stands out -- americans must be able to trust our federal government to do the right thing with the privacy information americans give up. if we cannot trust the federal government to use our privacy information solely for anti-terrorism purposes, then the balance shifts. we will not give up our privacy information thereby increasing the risk of a successful weapons of mass destruction terrorist attack on american

each other as well, and the polarization has very much gripped virtually every issue, and i think trenton's effective issue on tax reform. >> there you have it. questions? one over there. please. >> scott from beemus company. congressman, i think there was a lot of hope three years ago when simpson-bowles was published and died on the steps of the white house. now, three years later, what would it take to achieve a similar compromise among the three constituents that you said were critical to any kind of an agreement? >> i mean, there were problems with simpson-bowles. i think it essentially said the deficit is a problem, which it is, but when it came to tax policy and, as you know, there's been a revision, essentially, they said, start from scratch with all of the tax policies, go down to zero and then build them back up. that isn't very helpful because you need to get into the essence of each of these policies. as you know, there's loopholes. for some of you, i think my interest and carried interest doesn't carry you very far. i think that's a loophole, and there are other loopholes, but
