jersey into a new era of growth. today it is time to put the new jersey comeback into high gear. [ applause ] >> so we left everyone on the cliff hanger. where i was trying to press you to say, and i think it's a valid question, i honestly do. >> i know you do. that's why you're asking it. >> i think every politician has to prioritize, particularly if you're the president or state governor. is it trite taking your argument to its natural conclusion that warren buffett is as much in your head for his economic situation as the poorest person in new jersey? >> first of all, warren doesn't live in new jersey. i don't have to worry about him. secondly, that's not what i said. you say that's the logical conclusion of my statement. i disagree with you. let's rook at what i've done in new jersey. that's the best gauge to judge a politician. not what they say in a talk show with you and bu what they've done. in two years what we've done is protect the most vulnerables are even when we had to cut $13 billion in state spending

my job is to be governor of new jersey. i know you think i'm supposed to be converse ant in every national topic at the moment and have an opinion on every national topic, you'd love for me to do that but i'm not going to. >> you drive a car, don't you? >> yes, do i. not anymore really. i ride in a car most of the time. they don't let me drive anymore. but i ride in a gm car. >> what is your view ideologically of bailouts? >> my view is the government should have as little involvement in the private sector as it possibly can. from a general philosophical perspective, that's are i come from. but we're not going to take the next leap, toe you may try to, into getting into the bailout. when i've had time to look at that time and study, it i'll give you a reasoned opinion for my perspective. but i get in trouble and rightfully so when you talk about this evenings that important off the cuff. i don't think you should do that. even though it might be entertaining television, i'm not going to do it. >> are you pleased it's worked

in new jersey, it's getting better. we've take an lot of affirmative steps beyond what has happened in washington to put people back to work, 60,000 private sector jobs since i have been governor. the president should be judged on the entirety of his term. if in fact he took the steps necessary and appropriate right from the beginning to make our economy even better than what it is today. so, listen, i think there's going to be a real robust debate this fall on what the proper role of government is in the economy and whether or not the obama approach has been successful or successful enough or whether another approach by our nom ni, governor romney would be better? >> did you approve instinctively yourself of the bailout of the auto industry? >> i got to tell you the truth, i didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it. >> now that i asked you to think about. >> it -- i try to give it more than three or four seconds thought -- >> you've only given it three or four seconds thought -- >> what i was working on at the time

two new jersey law makers will join me after the break to discuss what's next in the new jersey battle over same-sex marriage. look at all this stuff for coffee. oh there's tons. french presses, espresso tampers, filters. it can get really complicated. not nearly as complicated as shipping it though. i mean shipping is a hassle. not with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits it ships, anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that is easy. best news i've heard all day! i'm soooo amped! i mean not amped. excited. well, sort of amped. really kind of in between. have you ever thought about decaf? do you think that would help? yeah. priority mail flat rate shipping starts at just $5.15, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship.
