i never understood why his deputy chief of staff who had worked with him, bridget anne kelly, never at least gave her the courtesy of a phone call or a meeting, saying what were you thinking, what were you oh -- is there any logical explanation, you possibly could have had? what was going through your mind? apparently he just decided to fire her without giving her an opportunity to explain her position, which never was clear to me why he was doing that. unless -- and there was some legal reason why his lawyers were saying don't even talk to her. she is in big trouble. if you talk to her, you could be seen as coaching her. you could be in legal trouble yourself. unless there was some legal rationale, which i obviously still don't understand. you see any rationale at all for him not even giving her the courtesy of a phone call? >> no. unless he knew that she knew he knew. in other words, she -- if he called her into his office and she said, well, as you remember, we discussed this bridge closing, so what do you mean? that's one possibility. the other is just that he wants to keep as much

but -- insofar as knowing in advance, i'm not sure bridget kelly has anything she can really dish at him. what she may have is something that she could dish at other members of his administration. if we're to believe the kind of common thinking that she could not have ordered this on her own and that wildstein could not have come up with it on his own, even though randy mastero in his report tried to make it sound as though this was a, quote, you been quote, crazy idea by wildstein. why this guy with crazy ideas was still in the port authority, as a christie appointee, is a whole different issue, of course. >> yeah. all right. brian thompson, bob ingal, good to see you both. >>> inside the rise of america's energy independence. how this new-pound found power is reshaping the current crisis in ukraine. we'll explain next. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ female announcer ] with five perfectly sweetened whole grains... you can't help but see the good. how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to,

now when he learns that bridget kelly, deputy chief of staff, from the e-mails obviously was directly implicated in this, he fired her. he fired her immediately. but now we know that somebody even senior to her also was informed about aspects of this. so one question is, what did regina egia say when she was told to report within an hour what she knew about the origins of this. i mean, there's just a lot of questions here. and one point i should make. look, there is no smoking gun that directly implicates the governor here and shows that he knew about the decision to shut down these traffic closures. but with all the unanswered questions out there, and with some of his top appointees like david wildstein taking the fifth amendment and declining to testify, it is very hard to see how there becomes closure of this issue without a full accounting from everybody involved. and with pending criminal investigations, the likelihood that others who get subpoenaed like bridget kelly will probably invoke the fifth amendment as well, as any lawyer would tell their client to do under these circums

what is bridget kelly's account here? she is the one who wrote that -- the most damning e-mail of all, time for some traffic problems in ft. lee. what prompted her to write it? who had she talked to about it? what was she thinking? what was the idea? you know, that's going to be major news at some point, when we hear that story. bill st bill stepien, deputy campaign manager, what was his role? and the wild card, the u.s. attorney investigation, which is active and real. they have subpoenaed the governor's campaign committee. they have subpoenaed the governor's -- the new jersey republican party. so it's quite clear, they're serious about this. >> lots of players here, you're definitely making that clear. michael isikoff, eleanor clift, thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> super bowl security with federal and local law enforcement agencies taking unprecedented security effort in preparation for the big game. nbc's ron mott is in times square for us. so ron, the false alarms, the investigation to all that, is that wrapped

but i want to get a couple of final thoughts from abraham and from bridget as well ibra him in kuala lumpur i mean clearly this trial that we don't know how long the sentence is going to be we don't know what that will what form that will take. it is symbolic clearly but how long until malaysia is fiscally and politically clean well i think it's going to be a fairly long process because the new government is just barely started its initial steps i think this trial is symbolic in this says that it is an attempt to breed from the best and this is significant in a conservative and somewhat feudal society that has always looked up to leaders and absolves leaders of russia and bet practices on this is a clear the fight you know from the past i think what remains now is to strengthen the confidence of the malaysian by the month that so much reform that the institutions that are now taking. charge for seeding with the judicial process and in any should do that cleaning up. government and public finances be done in a way that encourages this confidence to continue at this moment the malaysia

claims that the country collaborated with nazi germany during world war two specifically the legislation bridget's references to war time nazi death camps in the country is being polish as a violation of the law face up to three years behind bars the law though has faced the backlash in particular from israel and the u.s. . why the polish government has seen fit to come up with this legislation for beating people to have an opinion about the guilt or lack thereof of the polish nation it is bad for governments to try and regulate culture and history and literature. one no one can understand what why they would like to have some control over the narrative but it is all in all a bad practice the history of auschwitz no matter whether they are polish or foreign should be the guides there and this should be. the standard everywhere in every museum or memorial and this claim that guides should only be natives. is really easy enough abhi keats against foreigners it has nothing to do with some effort to make the the museum better informed. in syria rebels who started to withdraw from the biggest enclave c

and bridget major at harvard pointed out that that can happen when you automatically enrolled people. but as bridget would agree that you can address this by escalating the contribution level from year to year. you can, every time someone gets a raise, you can give them an increase in a contribution automatically, unless they want to do otherwise. so they do not see their take- home pay going down. or as many companies do, even without regard to the timing of arrays, you can increase the contribution level automatically every year, unless the employee opts otherwise. apart from that, is so significant to have people who are not into bidding at all and to the plan for the first time and become savers by reason of automatic enrollment. that that tends to swamp the effect of people that might otherwise have contributed more, but who by inertia might be drawn down to the default level of contribution. tributor andro conjur bring them up to 5% is more the of the social benefit them to take a 10% contributor and make them contribute at 5%. you have to encourage somebody to come into the sys
