chris christie. here's why. for one thing, finance, insurance and real estate, known as fire sector, single largest source of christie's donations in 2009 for governor. made him especially dependent on this sector. complicating things further for christie is the fact that new jersey has the most powerful executive branch of all of the states. that means that christie is involved in a wide range of state financial deals. he picks nine out of the 16 members of the state investment council, for instance. that means more than any other governor, he is directly involved in the kind of government transactions that trigger those bans on campaign donations. on top of all of that, thanks to florio and other scandals, nj now has the strictest state laws on pay to play in the country, doubling federal penalties and affecting more companies. last year, in fact, the romney campaign reportedly considered christie's exposure on this issue significant enough to address in their process of picking a running mate. according to mu

he's adopted a lot of dick cheney-style tactics. >> chris christie won't. >> chris christie certainly will not. there's an available politics in america because this sentiment on the left and on the right has been artificially tamped down by a foreign policy consensus and also by a style of debate exemplified by chris christie saying we don't want to have a debate, look at the widows, you know, scoreboard, we're out of here. we're seeing finally some pushback against that style. >> that's why i think this is incredibly healthy and i urge -- i urge this debate forward. i hope it gets even more intense. matt welch from "reason" magazine. >> thank you. >>> we'll be right back with #click3. blam you should be a victim of someone else's mistake. we're lifelock. we constantly monitor the web so if any of your personal information is misused, we're on it. ♪ ow.

the rule of law is no dangerous to governor christie. you lost a fan in me, sir, and anyone else that believes the constitution is up for interpretation, especially by a governor, you can't interpret it your way, it is not living and breathing, it is a rule of law. let me get this straight. rand paul is dangerous but president obama and carlos danger are okay in your world. governor, you look at people in the eye that lost loved ones in the world trade center. i was in the world trade center when the bombs went off, watched friends burn, watched people jump out the window. i think i have an idea what terrorism looks like, and it is not innocent americans being data mined by the nsa, it is islamic terrorists. stick to that and we're all okay. >> now another not for christie. >> i am done with him. >> you were with christie -- >> mark warned me, you will regret it getting behind this guy. i do, not for the reasons you're saying. >> i understand your compassion. like you said, you have friends and everything and i think anybody in new york

he's someone that chris christie has to reckon, even though governor chris christie has some of the highest favorability ratings of any in the country. he doesn't need to be talking about the bacon and wrestling with the pig. he doesn't need this, except for the fact that he has realized and decided that rand paul is formidable, unlike his father, ron paul, who was always pushed to the side and dismissed by republicans. that's interesting, especially if you take a close look at what rand paul stands for. number two, i love chris christie making a traditionally liberal observation that is precisely the southern and conservative and, yes, red states, that get the most money from the federal government. he mentioned the record there in kentucky, and it's not just that. in new mexico, in west virginia, in alabama, alaska, montana, these are all red states, some of the top states that get the most money back from the federal government. bottom line meaning, we, the rest of us, often in big states like new york and california, are subsidizing them. and progressives have said, that's okay. but tha

but about chris christie. he went there today. >> senator paul wants to start looking at where he is going to cut spending to afford defense? maybe he should start to cut the pork barrel defense he sends home to kentucky at $1.51 for every dollars and not look at new jersey where we get 61 cents per dollar, maybe he should look at that before he looks at the federal side. because most washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon. >> and rand paul foolishly talked about bacon. >> this is the king of bacon, we have two military bases in kentucky. and is governor chris christie recommending we shut down the military bases? he wants to be this great champion of the military? what does he want to do, shut down the military bases? he is making a big mistake fighting with the republicans, because the republican party is shrinking there on the east coast, attacking me is not helping the party, he is hurting the party. >> two military bases in kentucky, wow, that will shut down chris christie. rand pa

governor christie, thank you for coming back. thank you for slow jamming with me. >> oh, that was great. i can't wait to mock brian williams. >> jimmy: brian williams, yeah. >> i'm a better slow jammer than him. that's gonna be really good. >> jimmy: we have to do that together. well, you're always such a good sport for us. and i've got to say thank you for being a good sport. >> you're welcome. >> jimmy: you're a good man. we love you. but you're slimming down, buddy. what's going down? what's up? >> oh, you haven't read the papers? >> jimmy: no, i don't read. >> no, listen. i had some surgery and i've lost some weight. we are continuing to lose weight. i'm feeling better. >> jimmy: well, what's going to happen to my monologue if you do this? i mean -- >> yeah, you're screwed. >> jimmy: i'm screwed. any reason why you did this? i know i've seen a couple interviews. >> well, you know, i mean, you might have noticed that i was a bit overweight. and, you know, it's just -- i got to turn 50 years old. and i thought i'm really lucky

but so is the attack on christie for being a big spender from a blue state. it's going to be great to watch this thing play out. it's going to be interesting and fun for democrats. >> well, i don't think rand paul has been up against someone who is as good on his feet as chris christie can be when he's good. >> no, that's absolutely right. you can see it there when he said have those people come sit down with the victims. that sounded more like joe biden than a republican. he's got it in the gut. he's a good politician. >> and as you said at the outset, this is exactly what the democrats were hoping for. they didn't expect it to start so soon. >> didn't expect it to start so soon, but boy, isn't it great. we're going to get three years of this show. and i'm going to be right at the front row waiting and cheering and eating popcorn. >> this is -- this feels like good, you know, batting practice for christie and for rand paul. he's going to have to deal with some of these kinds of issues if rand paul gets into this race. >> it's like going on a whale hunt. for

note. >> neil: for christie's sake, going after his weighted again. >> there is governor christie traveling to another political event. he has plenty of time for iowa. guess what? -- >> did you see that romney thing, wasn't that last year? the governor's challenge will hope they will eat this up but the real skinny, they really didn't care back then. fast chance they care now? >> neil, new jersey voters they know chris christie is fat but we like him. i think this is something as you mentioned that has been tried if before against kristi. she doesn't have a lot of money. democrats don't think she can win. one thing christie has to be careful on because he has been defensive on his weight before. this could be a baiting game. >> neil: i almost think that is what is going on. he does have a temper and let's know people how he feels. being from new jersey myself, there are a lot of frivolous people in new jersey -- i don't think that can go your way. what do you think of going for jugular and taking a cheap shot? both sides do it during campaigns but it wreaks of desperation she has to do some

christie, what's the latest. >> reporter: good morning, jon. this is where it all started, that gas leak that triggered a widespread and alarming text to residents. what i can tell you is that east bay mud crew out here this morning tells me that the gas line is repaired and so is the waterline. i spoke with a crew member for east bay mud, he said the only thing they had left to do overnight was patch the street up. we shot video of them doing that on danville boulevard by stone valley road. there are still many questions about who is responsible here. east bay mud says pg&e didn't properly mark the line. pg&e says it asked crews to use hand tools because they weren't exactly sure where the line was. when east bay mud hit a pg&e gas line yesterday morning, the emergency was very real. a county supervisor says the alert system worked, but another alert system sent out a text message to people outside the affected alert area.

, told by people who know new jersey politics, a fun read, i recommend it because christie, i think, is a likely contender, and you got to know where he came from and what politics mean ahead of the election. second book on the list by a colleague, kevin d. williamson, wrote a book called "the end is near, and it's going to be awesome: how going broke leaves america richer, happier, and more secure." one reason the book is fun because the fiscal cliffs earlier was a big story covered at "national review," but later this year, there's the debt limit be the story that consumes congress, and williamson looks at the debt from a political perspective, historical perspective, talks about the consequences of the debt, how it's taking up a lot of congress' time, how it could potentially ruin the country, make the country go broke, and he does it with wit and fun. "the end is near," a great book by williamson. third is "this town," and as a journalist in washington, there's gossip and talk about what's happening behind the cannels, how stories are written, who leaks to who, power struggles wi

christie seems to be the most obvious success story. he's running about 30 point as head in his current re-election race but a big reason for this is his public partnership with obama in the wake of hurricane sandy, a partnership endeared him to more than a few democrats in new jersey but created friction with national republicans. the republicans christie will need to win over if he wants to win the presidency in 2016. republican governors like tom corbett in pennsylvania on political life support. quinnipiac poll put him ten points behind his most likely democratic opponent. paul lepage who benefited from both the republican friendly nature of the electorate and three-way race to win his office in 2010. he hasn't even bothered to try to build bridges to voters who backed obama. bitterry reflected medicaid and likened the irs to the get tap po and refused on martin luther king day to meet with the state leaders of the naacp and 53% of them disapprove how he's doing his job. all of the blue states, all of the blue state republican gover

chris christie less strong that others. he's the more moderate of the group. those are roughly good numbers. of those four they are all possible, some would say likely contenders which means the republicans will have a good spirited race between some very interesting characters. >> one of those numbers, let me put that poll back up on the screen and remember these are republican leaning voters. 30% is a pretty snant number. i'd look at that 30% and wonder what's going on. i assume that's the result of what some republicans think were overly warm welcome to president obama just before the election. >> right. chris christie only had praise for the president and a lot of people think that's what hurt romney in the final days of election. we'll see if he does run whether he pays a price for that. >> let's talk about the new information you're getting on b ben benghazi. >> we're right in the middle of that. it's led by jason of utah, lindsey graham in the senate. signing onto a letter saying this. this is draft of letter. it's been more than ten months of the attac

actively wanted christie to get in. a lot of the money folks, they think he is their best shot, and i really believe thatn an unless jeb bush or somebody else gets in, christie can clear the decks to a certain degree by taking on this fight now. i think he has a legitimate shot and if rand paul is the biggest hurdle action i think he is their party's nominee in a few years. >> such an interesting take on that because, you know, conventional wisdom which is often so wrong has no shot for him in south carolina. probes not even in the evangelical precincts of iowa and to say he could clear the deck quickly is interesting. i want to stay in your neck of the woods, richard, a little t bit. we are all tired of anthony wiener. i have to share this of a new york residents confronting him about his pat or present, depending upon when it ended. look at this. >> as a former new york city department of education employee, 21 years as a teacher, 9 years as an assistant principal, and i conducted myself in the manualer in which you c

christie started it. accusing rand paul of dangerous talk by raising questions about drones and the nsa. rand paul fired back that christie and peter king are the ones really putting this country in danger with their reckless spending and recovery from hurricane sandy. who's right and who's wrong? the truth is they're both wrong. rand paul's wrong on sandy. of course fema should help victims of hurricane sandy in new jersey. just like it helped the victims of tornadoes in kentucky. and chris christie and peter king are wrong on drones and the nsa. both of these programs are out of control. both of them are massive invasions of privacy. and both of them demand that some limitations be put on our government. but the best part is, enjoy it, folks. republicans are waging war against each other. how sweet it is! melanie sloan and neil king from the "wall street journal" join us here tomorrow. have a good one.
