>> well, christie is probably the ally that walker does not want to hear from right now. i don't know he's doing walker any political fact favors by weighing in. this is a really big deal. basically walker was caught in his own words talking to karl rove and placing himself at the center of what the republican prosecutor describes as a criminal scheme in wisconsin to coordinate between big money outside groups in the campaign. what that means is if that is allowed to happen, what it means is that there can be no regulation whatsoever big money coming into elections. as you know ed and you've covered this. we've seen big oust state money coming into wisconsin. we've seen them flip a school board race in kenosha, whose entire campaign war chest was a few rolls of stamps. if the koch brothers, club for broej can spend any type of money they want, they don't have to disclose who their donors are. there is no chance to set limits or whose buying the election. >> walkerster s is saying it's and chris christie is saying he has full confidence in his buddy scott walker. >> republ

i follow politics and christie. when he made the decision to cancel that rail tunnel to new york, the third tunnel, he got a lot of heat. we found out under this scenario he was taking the money for that tunnel construction and using it for something that had nothing to do with the port authority. had to do with the pulaski highway in new jersey. he did it so he didn't have to raise taxes so he could look like a low taxer but do big stuff. in other words he was moving stuff around. >> he was basically robbing peter to pay paul. it's not free money. when you raid the port authority it comes out of stuff the port authority should be doing. it can result in things people feel in the pocket book in new york and new jersey. >> why are we just finding out -- $1.8 billion is a lot of money by any standards. why wasn't this nailed when the bond money went to build a better highway in new jersey? >> in fairness, thises has been covered a while. i think it goeses to your point earlier. we knew they had diverted the money. the

chris christie, jeb or mitt? and with hillary, people want the impression of candor from her and politically correct answers. isn't that what politics is -- getting them both right? finally the break-up of iraq. isn't this what we did to the place? this is "hardball," the place for politics. >>> another low for congress. a new gallup poll finds 16% of americans approve of the job congress is doing. that's the lowest number for a midterm election year since gallup began asking the question 40 years ago. it's in line with a poll from last month showing just 1 in 5 americans say most members of congress should be re-elected, the lowest number ever. we'll be right back. at shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energies, which is why we are supplying natural gas, to generate cleaner electricity, that has around 50% fewer co2 emissions than coal. and why with our partner in brazil, we are producing a biofuel made from renewable sugarcane to fuel cars. let's broaden the world's energy mix, let's go. >>> wel

lee mayor was not endorsing christie for reelection. now one of chris christie's appointees is under fire for his role in turning a blind eye to what happened after that apparent act of political payback. he was made aware of those lane closures on multiple occasions after they happened. he said he got wind of a scathing letter warning that federal laws had likely been broken and said he received a personal letter from loretta weinberg on the matter. >> this whole issue had become very, very, i thought politically charged, quite frankly, or even partisan to a certain degree. quite frankly, it was not something i wanted to be involved in the middle of, quite frankly. that's the way i felt about it. it became somewhat political with regard to that. and my position with regard to that, i just didn't want to be in the middle. i saw this becoming a political football, and from my perspective, i didn't want to be involved with that. >> that's consistent. he didn't even want to deal with members of his own staff on the issue. here's more of hi
