chris christie. chris christie was supposed to be a top tier national contender, right? chris christie tied with rick santorum for tenth place and 2% of the vote nationally right now. and if you think that is bad, chris christie is actually sitting pretty compared to rand paul. rand paul does even worse. rand paul right now in this new national poll out from ppp is tied with jim gilmore. at 1% in the polls. rand paul, jim gilmore and the aforementioned rick perry. i mean, rick perry is down to one campaign staffer in iowa. he was staking his whole presidential campaign on iowa, his iowa campaign chairman left and went to work for donald trump. his co-chair in iowa, who just a couple weeks ago spent an hour with hand-in-hand, literally holding hands, walking around the iowa state fair with his iowa co-chair. she just left him, too. and she didn't even leave him to go work for the front-runner. she left him to work for rick santorum. rick perry is dead in the water. he's down to one last staffer in iowa. his presidential campaign is no longer really a campaign. it's like a

chris christie taking on donald trump scares me. i worry about the pyrotechnics in the room. >> it would be high entertainment. it would give him oxygen. you have to separate yourself from the pact when you have ten people on the stage. >> you think it is a good idea. some conventional wisdom says step away from the vehicle, let trump be trump and do not engage but you think it is a good idea. >> you have a establishment party, a number of people vying for territory there. for christie to be viable he has to claim that and going after trump is probably a good tactic for him. i think it is great television. >> that is for sure. what is interesting is the fact in the rules seem to be tailored in some way to get carly fiorina on the stage. she has seen a surge of support after her debate performance. what did you make of the latest announcement? >> i think it certainly good for carly fiorina and probably good for the republican brand in general to have a woman who did as well as she did at the kids' table the first time out be up there

i believe it's c. >> chris christie. steve? >> let's check last night's show. >> by rights that same rule change that let carly fiorina in should have pushed chris christie out of the debate since now under their new rules he is no longer a top 10 candidate, he is 11. but seeing that as the eventual outcome of this new rule change that they made, cnn decided they would fudge it more, and let chris christie in the real debate too. >> the correct answer is chris christie, and linda is right once more. >> give linda the excellent news. >> yes, you have won the fabulous shot shaker and the paper animals. >> well done. hopefully those will be handy for you at halloween. will you please give your 6-year-old our kindest regards. >> i will. her name is katie. she loves you. >> katie, we have an internship ready for you in approximately 12 years. thank you, great to meet you. >> thank you, great to meet you. >> if the you want to play the most awesome game in basic cable news, e-mail us rach rachel@msnbc.com. we would love to send our o

what chris christie is proposing, the nicest thing is it's impractical. the worse thing is it's inhumane but the very troubling and disturbing to so many latinos, the language he's using of packages. we've had discussions of anchor babies. this is the trump effect where he's importing extreme rhetoric and this is main stream language. it will be a big problem going forward and when you look at the latino electric, 30% who identify as conservative or independent. that window is not just closing but slammed shut. >> christie defended himself in the proposal yesterday on fox news sunday. >> my point was, was that this is once again a situation where the private sector lapses up in the government with the use of technology. let's use the same type of technology to make sure that 40% of the 11 million people here illegally don't over stay the visa. if fedex can do it -- >> somebody doesn't have a number on their, a label on their wrist. >> we can do it and bring in the folks from fedex to use the technology. i don't mean people are packages so let's not be rid

there is a strong backing for chris christie. we are all successful. we wouldn't be running for president if up weren't. so let's talk about the middle class let's talk about the average voter and the guy who doesn't have a job the guy who lost his job and is struggling. chris christie i thought he did really well. >> who do you think bb the next person to drop out? >> i think scott walker. he seemed to really disappear to me. >> it was so long. a lot of the candidates seemed to disappear for long periods of time. >> i think there should be consideration for shortening the strength and making it more concise. you will have less candidates. scott walker is my dropout. >> who do you think? >> scott walker is in a lot of trouble. i think long-term if trump continues to be subjected to this, i think he could wind up looking for possibly leading the republican party for what at least to him is a more attractive and younger party. >> the dem kratz? >> if you want him, please take him. >> vp candidates. any one that maybe struck you? >> i think marco rubio po

(clicking noise) (ding) read text. (siri voice) adam, i'm sorry.

governor chris christie. you had a great night. >> total debate time, trump, 16:20 but it was a lot more of that if you talk about the split screens and everything else. you're only at seven minutes and yet all of us and the table are saying you had a great night. talk about the debate and your frustrations about the fact that they were obsessed with donald trump. >> well, joe, i'm not frustrated at all this morning. you know with me, joe, it's always been quality, not quantity. so i feel pretty good this morning. >> i agree. that's good. and you had quality. you jumped in there a few times, especially when donald trump and carly fiorina were kind of going back and forth about their business careers and tried to bring it to the issues. did it seem like it was all about what trump said and everybody responding or do you feel you had a chance to really put exactly out there what you can offer to the american people? >> listen, i feel like what i've learned on the campaign trail, mika, is the voters are sick of

chris christie has had a big night tonight. kasich didn't have a lot of opportunities tonight, but you saw the potential there. it will be interesting to see what the reaction is to jeb bush. he had some good exchanges with donald trump. he wasn't low energy tonight. and he physically dominated the space next to donald trump in a way that i think is very much reputational to the low energy attacks that stung jeb bush. >> we not talked about the highlight reels. in truth is, the highlights are much more influential than the actual debate. that's why the poll numbers don't start to turn until sunday. that's when you see highlights. i think trump is going to be in all the highlights because he's the target. even though he didn't have a great night, he's still going to be in center of attention oddly enough, simply because the media is going to make him in that the highlights. >> my guess is this debate is going to have maybe half the audience of the first debate. it just doesn't have that energy. it just doesn't have that exciteme

chris christie does it as well. they are these quick movements and they are connected with people who are high in timing or moderate in timing. these are the people who can accelerate or decelerate in the moment. these are people where you get that impulsiveness sometimes so that quick whit and quick attack is coming from this timing gesture. it's connected to how the candidates are making decisions. >> did anyone do anything where you just like -- >> i have a summer cottage in maine. and they are building a new house up there. it's for bush if he becomes president. bush blew it on a couple points with body language. he said i'm my own man. when he said that, he literally did a shoulder shrug. that's uncertainty. i would love to get. together. please have me back on the show. he shoulder shrugs. he also killed it negatively when he was asked about is he a a puppet for the donors. he's asked are you a puppet for the donors. he said, no. he shook his head yes. clinton did this when e he said i did not have sexual rela

so many other issues. >> governor chris christie hit a home run with that whole segment. because what he did is went back to the people. he realizes general people don't care about who is rich and who accomplished what. what are you going to do for us, the people. governor chris christie has a nose for that and he took off on it and did very well. >> we are out of time. a few more seconds. we haven't said anything about ben carson. >> maybe -- [ talking at the same time ] >> wrap it up. >> ben carson didn't do himself harm and he didn't help maintain his momentum. >> my comment, is ben carson really turned in a subpar performance. >> he was low energy -- >> no energy -- [ talking at the same time ] >> wasn't the best forum for somebody like ben carson. this was shoot them and take them. he is a steady as they go candidate. >> is he going to be number two in the polls -- >> i think he slips. trump will slip in the polls. carly fiorina will jump. >> they have been saying that for weeks now. we will see trump slip. >> it will happen soon. >> all right. >> every hit matters.

look at chris christie. juliet: he has lost a little weight. >> of not been able to rebuild the board's -- the boardwalk in new jersey because it would have to have new specs, the guy is huge. juliet: the name calling, we are a society of name-calling. very ugly. >> this is before your time, fact and skinny, and -- juliet: laurel and hardy. let's talk about yogi berra. >> obviously is roman catholic but i am sitting shivah. i learned my best for acted phrases, my scooter reasons, malaprops, the web botulinus the english-language, monday and wednesday and friday, from yogi berra. he was the 9 athletes. he really is a major-league baseball player. he hit bad balls. if you are a pitcher and throw a ball on the outside, i remember best about yog)est remember best about yogi berra, he played left field, two people don't realize, it wasn't just a catcher. the famous scene of the polish won for the pittsburgh pirates hits a home run over the already covered walls, pittsburgh boat pirate to win the world series, and

>> jimmy: but chris christie, don't you go, "hey, hey!" and jump out and go -- it doesn't have to be that high, more of a deeper voice. >> hey, hey! >> jimmy: and you jump in there and go, "well, i --" and you start yelling at people? and you go, "i got something to say about that!" >> what do you think, i'm morton downey jr.? what do you think i'm doing here? >> jimmy: no, but i don't think of you like that. but i think you jump in. are you allowed to jump in? >> well, no, you're not supposed to. but a few people did. >> jimmy: i know. >> but i didn't think that was appropriate for that night. >> jimmy: seems to be working for whoever did it. >> but by the way, stay tuned on september 16th. we may be changing tactics. if i go -- if i get to fifteen questions in a row -- count them at home -- if i get that fifteen in a row, they're gonna go "uh-oh, he's going nuclear now." >> jimmy: that's what i'm talking about, all right! that's what i'm talking about it! that's what we want to see. [ applause ] >> if i turn green and get the hulk thing

and governor chris christie arriving in south carolina. his first order of business going "on the record." also we will bring you continuing coverage of this south carolina presidential forum. we will take you there live next. and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira

i'm going to be chris christie. and this, according to twitter was one of his best exchanges but watch. >> while i'm as entertained as anyone by this personal back and forth about the history of donald and carly's career, for the 55-year-old construction worker who doesn't have a job and can't fund his child's education, they can care less about your careers. they care about theirs. stop playing the game. stop playing the game. >> it's not a game. >> carly, listen. you interrupt everybody else, you're not going to interrupt me. we don't want to hear about your careers, volleying back and forth, who did well and poorly. you're both successful people, congratulations. do you know who is not successful, the middle class in this country getting plowed over by barack obama and hillary clinton. let's talk about those issues tonight and stop these childish back and forth between the two of you. >> howie, why did you like it? >> a strong moment by the governor of new jersey. there was so much back and forth that it was a wa

juliet: interesting that governor christie, governor cuomo are together especially when chris christie is such an adversarial and contentious relationship with our major. maybe our governor -- very interesting. >> the man who is 1%, time to swim back to seaside heights and have that double sausage and peppers and the fitting your mouth. you are a candidate of no consequence. he is never in new jersey. routing to the dallas cowboys the other day with jerry jones where they won in the last 7 seconds. come home, come the shore. ben: chris christie has fallen from 3% in the polls to 1%, support gravitating obviously toward donald trump still 27%, ben carson 23%, marco rubio 6%, jeb bush 6%. here is the thing. and this point in 2007 the front runners were rudy giuliani and fred thompson. where are they today? >> they both flamed out. i was recruited giuliani campaign in florida. what happened? it was all fired in the belly, 9/11, 9/11, people were saying there's more to life than 9/11. at the start of this race, long way to go, it is a marathon. your young uncle, what is his name? three hou

chris christie. that back and forth between trump and carly was heated and elevating. chris christie stopped them in their tracks and said this is what we don't want. maybe he's wrong. maybe it is what we want. maybe we want to hear what people's pasts are and we don't need a political speech candidates do. >> welsh we'll have plenty of time to get into that. that was chris christie's best moment so don't take it away from him, eric. >> you think that was his best moment? >> we're going to have a long discussion about business practices and corporate culture. there are pluses and minuses to point out. and there is mrenlty of debates left to do that. >> we're learning about the past of two major contenders. and if chris christie says stop, maybe he doesn't want to go back into things in his past. >> it felt like a debate in a corporate board room in business back grounds and experience. given the resume of carly fiorina and donald trump is an important debate for of two of them to have. i was disappointed when chris christie cut it off but you understood he needed to ha

. >>> all of that plus governor chris christie is here in studio. right here right now. >> welcome to hannity. the clinton campaign is in full damage control mode after releasing hillary's e-mails late last night. the e-mails appear to show that she used extremely poor judgment in protecting very sensitive information. as a result the state department had to sensor 125 e-mails that now say contained classified information. >> out of those new 7,000 pages perhaps the most remarkable moment came in 2010 when hillary clinton's e-mail went down and not even the state department's it team knew about the personal use of the e-mail and server. your e-mail. it must be back up. they had no idea it was you. just some random address. that raised another new question, of course, for the state department. which officials inside that department were in the loop on this unusual arrangement. >> i'm not going to answer that question. >> you mentioned all of the e-mails that have been partially or completely blacked out. roughly 125 of them that contained classified

chris christie the 11th-ranked candidate in the race. by rights, the whole idea was we want ten in the debate. by rights, the same rule change that let her into the debate should've pushed chris christie out of the debate. since now under the new rules, he's no longer a top ten candidate, he's number 11. but, seeing that as the eventual outcome of this new rule change that they made, cnn decided they would fudge it a little more and let chris christie in the real debate, too. it'll be 11 people instead of 10. we always intended for it to be 11. it's amazing. it's amazing. it's amazing. it's one thing for fox to kind of fudge this because you think, oh, fox is a republican organization, they have someone who they want to win and they'll run things in a way that allows that person favorable treatment for cnn to do this, it's just -- i mean, it's worse than -- i won't say what i think it is. i find it amazing this is the way that any major political party is picking their presidential candidate this year. it's a total mess. 11 republicans o

chris christie really handles himself well. he became more likable, nicer and then this point coming up and you realize right back to where he is. he's trying to make his point. it was a valid point. it made me laugh this is the one time he became the old chris christie. >> okay. you thought more of a bullying move. you can see carly react. >> she pulls back all tutomatic. helen leans forward. it was interesting. >> even though some people listening to the words think carly won, you felt she won on body language. >> her nonhverbals were strong. she was real concise and spoke well and hand gestures were appropriate. in the beginning she wasn't gesturing enough. she didn't do enough of them. as it went on i think she became stronger and stronger. >> as always, thank you. >>> accused army disaster bowe bergdahl is in court today. his platoon leader discusses utter disbelief. >>> some stand out moments in last night's debate and what looked like some clear winners and losers. who helped their chances the most at last night's debate

chris christie release this video addressing that same issue. >> i'm pro-life. i believe every life is precious. not only the baby in the womb, but the drug addicts laying on the floor of the county drill. -- jail. the way to win the war on drugs is to treat the addict. john: they are bringing this issue up on the campaign trail. this is mostly about opiate addiction, not the cocaine or marijuana discussion, prescription drugs, others. it has become a weird bipartisan thing. why is everyone talking about this now and will it matter politically? >> i think it matters politically greatly around the country. as far as chris christie is concerned, heroin is a huge issue in new hampshire, massachusetts, other east coast cities, enormously cheap. you can buy it easier than getting a big mack. it is all over the place. the number of overdoses are off the charts, huge issue. john: up in new hampshire, you hear about it a lot. if you get this kind of bipartisan view, where is the political advantage? how do you win that argument so that it accrues to your benefit politic

you have john kasich and chris christie. >> which i love also because chris christie and rand paul way down there, they go at it a lot. i feel like when you're not on top of each other it invites that real cross-stage debate even more to. >> also there's a lot -- there's a good chance chris christie, rand paul, as rand paul did in the first one are going to go after donald trump. >> right, no doubt. a lot of attacks will be coming to center stage. >> there's also going to be an early debate. we have some of the photographs, the four participants because rick perry dropped out. it will be lindsey graham, bobby jindal, rick santorum and george p pitaki. >> that's right. the other poed wrdiums will go >> this stage was built, the backdrop, all the shots you'd see the plane of air force one. >> ronald reagan's air force one right behind them. >> let's walk over here and take a look at where the questions are going it be asked from. so over here this is going to be hugh huwett and dana bash. >> that's right. one of the things when the republican national committee put the debates together t

. >> governor chris christie and saga continues. and then they became friends now they are enemies, i don't know. does jon bon jovi also get mad because you talk about restring springsteen question mark. >> he never told me he hated you, but i can tell. >> jon bon jovi, another jersey rocker allowing thursday to use his song on the campaign trail. apparently they are no longer friends with bruce springsteen. >> huge mess for the long island today, power outage, people, people can get to the station, subways were built, people are instagram aim. long lines in chaos with # subway hell, # nightmare. >> what's up, what's going over and get some art. >> these are not hard to find if you know where to look. fifteen years they have been setting tables up. >> people come to the spot i have cousins all over the world. they don't know where you live but they know where to find you. >> make no mistake people will try to. >> yeah, one. >> paint, paint pens, markers, city maps, city maps, service canvases, both work in their own distinct file to

chris christy emerged today. somebody who has not been coming as well in the national polls but had several good moments where he scolded the candidates about not being serious about the magnitude of the challenges the country faces. who needed to do better. did you see a losing perform answer last night? >> i don't think ben carson did very well and i don't think donald trump did very well. carson, these are difficult formats for him because he's not as ferocious as other candidates. he did well in the fox news debate because he came back at the end with what seemed to be prescripted comments and a funny closing statements and it got him some support. i didn't think he had a great night last night. donald trump seemed out of his depth. when the debate turned to substance and policy donald trump simply disappeared. that doesn't help him, i don't think. bill: was that him or the questioning? >> i think it was a little bit of both. i think the nod curators thought they gave so much time to donald trump early on the

chris christie is clinging onto the loneliest number. in 2012, he nearly stole the spotlight from mitt romney. now christie is decidedly out of style. he's no longer fighting with teachers unions. he's now fighting to stay in the race. scott walker vowed to stick it to unions, so much so that he compared union workers to isis. despite his anti-obamacare rhetoric, his campaign is on life support. and finally, we come to jeb bush. the former florida governor truly needs to perform with the gusto his logo exhibits. his polling numbers are half of what they were in august. lately, bush has steadily criticized donald trump while on the campaign trail. >> there's a big difference between donald trump and me. i'm a proven conservative with a record. he isn't. i cut taxes every year. he's proposed the largest tax increase in mankind's history, not just our own country's history. >> tonight we'll see if it's all shadow boxing or if one of those jabs will land. they've been riding on escalators going in opposite directions. and this debate could t

and chris christie, i mentioned him. he did -- was surprisingly good. >> jeff, you know, donald trump coming into the debate was so far ahead. double digits in all the polls, nationally and in the early states. and you know, he didn't have a moment that was really bad. his supporters in overnight polls at least online, say he's the big winner. >> well, i guess it's the cult of trump that we're watching here. but i think that he suffered from heightened expectations. cnn in particular had blanket coverage of trump leading up to this debate. and i think focused a lot of the questions on trump so that he would be the target of criticism. that was a huge set of expectations that not even the blustery mr. trump could satisfy. compared to those high expectations, he suffers, i think. and that's why i agree with fred, that carly fiorina i think was the winner. she was sharp. she was concise. she obviously thought through her answers and was disciplined about giving those answers in a very organized fashion. i think that it was

christie who is absolutely going to do the job. >> joining me now, chris christie, now just offered her an invitation to move to new jersey. >> sweet home, alabama. just saying. >> does she raise a good point? the attention he is taking is terrifying? >> the fact is that we have to do the job to make sure people -- >> you need to be more exciting and they'd cover you more. >> right now we need to make sure we give people what we want to do for the country and how frustrated we are, too. it will come around. >> you want to talk about wall to wall coverage for the presidential coverage, referring to msnbc. >> absolutely. >> let's talk about, i asked scott walker about the polls, your polls not that great either. abc news polls put you at 1%. you were at 3% in july. new hampshire polls put you down at 2%. trump, 28%. why do voters think you can still make it? >> it's september. the election is not held tomorrow and we have campaigns for a reason. so people can evaluate you. the fact is that i don't worry about that stuff. >> how do you overcome that deficit? >> well, ben carson four we

so chris christie gave him 90 days now to slim down or ship out. i know they have different jobs but this is chris christie. okay? and this is general cuniff. and this is a bucket of fried chicken with a pile of chocolate chip cookies on top. [ cheers and applause ] chris christie had a secret lap band surgery two years ago. i don't know if he's lost anything. apparently the surgery was even a secret to his stomach. [ laughter ] he had a band put around his stomach. and that band by the way? bon jovi. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] this is a sad week for baseball fans. because yogi berra, hall of fame catcher and manager for yankees and mets, passed away yesterday, 90 years old, a great catcher and a great character. he had so many classic quotes. yogi berra is the guy who said, 90% of the game is half mental. ed he also said, it's deja vu all over again, which is a classic. probably his most famous quote was, it ain't over till it's over. he was known as much for screwing up metaphors as he was for baseball. so i can't help but feel like it

here's chris christie's opening statement. >> hi, my name is chris christie i'd like you to take the camera off of me and put it on the audience. ed a like to ask all of you, how many today believe in barack obama's america your children will have a better life than you've had? you see, that's why i'm running for president because leadership is not about me, it's about our country. what we talk about tonight it's not about us, it's about the people in the audience tonight because in seven short years this president has stripped away their trust and their faith and belief that the next generation will have a better life. he has stolen that from us. when i'm president i'm going to take it back. >> that was terrific. chris christie, the man who was supposed to be the gop front-runner, the man who was at the very end of the stage because he barely made it into the debate, used his opening statement to make an incredible contrast to look at me, look at me, look at me, donald trump, chris christie, who everyone said was an ego maniac always want attention on himself i thought, smartly, sai

chris christie has grown. >> yes. >> he's at his best right now. >> chris christie and we've been interviewing him from the very beginning, he's a better politician today right now than he's ever been. a lot of it is he's gone through the fire. >> picking up mike's point, this is what capitalism and politics about. you have a choice. these guys have to compete for votes. in that sense it's a very healthy, vigorous, miserable process but makes you good. not good you're going to have to dropout. >> that's why i do think donald trump, ben carson, these guys that are at the top right now, carly, they are all great for jeb bush. jeb will either adapt or lose. if he does adapt he'll be a better candidate. >> scott walker failed to recognize, until that moment where he gave his speech announcing his withdrawal, he failed to see the race as what it is. christie is running a less expensive campaign. walker who was the darling in the spring, they were enamored with his message. he never adapted that early message, his record to, you talked about seeing him in new hampshire. he never adapted to it republ

i think chris christie also managed to get into the discussion very forcefully. and scott walker actually did himself some good tonight. >> and i think speaking of scott walker, does chris have scott walker? let's -- as soon as he does, let me know. john king, for you, what were the moments. >> trump was a less dominating presence in the fox debate. he was a presence tonight. >> didn't make any mistakes. >> to david's point, he meade ky points with his constituency. around the country if you look at the twitter feeds, reaching out to conservatives in key states, there is a debate about whether he hauurt himself by gog after george w. bush. rare he comes up in a positive way in a republican primary, but the exchange with jeb bush about george w. bush kept us safe, there is a conversation about that, as to whether that could have possibly hurt donald trump. the buzz about carly fiorina is very strong. a lot of people think she may have taken some of ben carson's votes tonight. marco rubio getting points among conservatives. he seems to be among a lot of conservativ

chris christie from the side saying that this is a childish back and forth. he reflected on what people in the press room were thinking about the tenor of much of that debate. pretty chaotic with a lot of one minors and cheap shots that people were throwing around. i think i laying off that, there was a very strong one. >> telegraphed this. it worked out the way he wanted it with no back talk. nobody shot at him for setting up these fight. >> you talked about it. >> he threw the ball out there. it was almost a jump ball for them. whoever could get it, go for it. i think it did lend itself to the chaotic nature. as a grassroots activist, i liked it. i like to see the guys scrapping. >> did you like it as an rnc chairman? >> i would have liked it because it showed the party was ready to fight for something about something, whether you like or agree with something. we want to see these guys and gals engaged. i told you that carly was one of the key points and changing that dynamic tonight. >> the assault on trump continued with jeb bush, who showed some energy t
