and chris christie sort of staged a moment there. again, the guy is a master communicator, say whatever you want about him. the guy is an incredible communicator. a flair for the moment, he said i'm going to stand up to barack obama's transportation department in that moment it worked. now longer term, there were major transportation issues in terms of getting between new york and new york city cancelling that tunnel, certainly complicated that. right now that is the kind of thing used as a weapon. one thing that the new jersey voters may not like. but in that moment, i think it worked for him. >> traffic is not getting any better. congratulations, steve, i think you had a role in it. i wonder -- i still don't know his role. i'm not going to ask you the answer, i don't think anybody has it. there is a lot of murkiness, you don't have to give orders to get control of people under you. and i always think as michael dukakis puts it, the fish rots from the top. that's it for me on "hardball," thank you for joining us. we'll see you tomor

we know that governor christie is here not so much that yes he probably feels bad for the trooper, but it's not because there is because his national ambitions haven't panned out. >> i know it's impossible to walk into a law-enforcement or first responder funeral and not feel this something or the sacrifice this man was given we should be grateful for it. >> on chasing stay-at-home dads so i took it to a low-key bar in brooklyn. when i got there it was a sight to see. there was hard liquor, beer, babies, tons of strollers and a make shift to other soccer game going on. just as i was trying to get myself into their shoes to see what a day at stay-at-home dad's life was was like then walked in joshua maureen. >> anyone to be a stadium dad that was your choice. >> yeah i just felt right. i was terrified basically what's going happen. >> what were you the least prepared for on day one? >> the amount of poop. i said how did your ego feel at that point? >> not good. it doesn't really feel like a value at thing that you're doing, you're not contributing to society necessarily. >> you haven't

i'll go back to christie. what you said is really blowing my mind, we should try to make peace with these countries. we've had a president who is incapable of saying islamic terrorist. he will not put those two words together. we've gone out of our way to try and make peace with these people and all they do is they come back to that principle, that sharia principle, if you're an infidel, you do not deserve to live. and they call on good muslims to kill islamists, to kill the infidels. >> here's what you need to do, though. make a distinction between isis and muslim and islam, which is a peaceful religion of a billion people. and the fact that we haven't actually made that distinction means that in our country, we have little old ladies who wear hijabs and go to mosques and are terrified to be out in public. >> but make peace -- again, i want to stay on topic here. this is about -- >> that culture of fear, i think is wrong. >> hold on, christie. this is about the refugee program. here's what i want to do. this

clearly being on governor christie side will help you lose the next election. democrats are smart, they didn't they didn't end up having pie on their face for voting raises for their own staff. this will be better for the democratic of editorial candidate. >> we talked about this and there's one person was the decisive vote on this. phil murphy. he made phone calls to democratic legislators to let them know that he did not support this. i wonder if the real person who beat this is murphy. they're gonna have to deal with him in a year if he's elected and he doesn't want to be starting off on the wrong foot with the democratic legislators. >> to think this is the end of the party leadership on both sides? we've seen bill after bill come through where the party leadership seems to be completely out of touch and ineffective. and not be able to get their caucus to do anything that they want. what happened to the back room? >> i think they still have a lot of power and good leadership at least in the senate. i think this is a groundswell of support against these bill

but once again governor chris christie is not. in fact, the big news today is that we are learning that christie was not chosen to lead the republican national committee, a job that many said was only left out of new jersey, but here at trump tower the spectacle continues. >> so -- >> it is a real battleground out here among the protesters hats, max, if you want to protest year, you have to dress to impress. >> those are high heels. >> is something hillary could wear on the campaign trail. >> they're not happy about trump's cabinet picks so far. >> you are good at this so oklahoma's attorney general scott pruett, trump's pick to lead the environmental protection agency. >> i'm been distressed by other appointees, but to me this is the worse. i forget who i forget who said it but it's like putting an arsonist in charge of fighting fires. >> it's no secret that many feel this way, after all many on the left say he is the biggest threat of today, which is why some big names are making their way to the tower to truck talk to trump him

i'm christi paul. >> and i'm martin savidge in for victor blackwell. donald trump is scheduled to have a quiet weekend at trump tower this weekend. no meetings. no events. the day after he set off alarm bells in washington because he took a phone call from taiwan's president. that is the first phone contact between a u.s. president, or president-elect, and a taiwanese leader since the u.s. and china established diplomatic relations way back in 1979. that one move could undo four decades of u.s. protocol on taiwan. and it risks infuriating china with one china policy which claims that taiwan is part of china. trump tweeted after. interesting how the u.s. sells taiwan billions of dollars on military equipment but i should not accept a congratulatory call. china released this statement, we urge the revolution side of the u.s. to adhere to the one china policy abide by the pledges in the three joint china-u.s. communiques and handle issues related to taiwan carefully and properly. >>> democrats are asking president obama to declassify intelligence after ne

christie throws his halt in the ring for rnc chair. one person said the governor had embarked on an aggressive full court press. if christie were to be picked, he could continue to serve as new jersey governor. what would it mean for his day job. the the first full year. he spent a third of the year out of the state. in 2015, christie spent 190 full days not in jurjz. and if you count partial days, that jumps to 72% of the year outside his state. that's something he's unlikely to change. it almost seems like christie is willing to do anything to avoid his own state. or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas for pulmonary hypertension, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects

look at him. >> hi, christi. >> thank you for being here, joey. i want to ask you about the fact that the judge let these jurors go home unsee questerquestered. one lone juror says he can't convict. what might change over the 48 hour period that he has for himself? >> you know, christi, if you read that juror's note, you might conclude that nothing would change. apparently the juror is -- has come to the conclusion that he's reached his mind in this case and that's it. however, an hour could change someone's mind, a day could change someone's mind and certainly a weekend could. these are very -- it's very difficult to be a juror. we on the outside looking in see this as a clear-cut case and apparently 11 of the 12 jurors i won't say saw it as clear-cut but they deliberated but we have reason to believe that the other 11 are indicating guilt whether it's guilt of murder, manslaughter, we don't know. it's a very difficult process. it's very heated. it's very aggravating to be in tho closed room with other jurors. we'll see monday morning whether or

of governor chris christie a fundraiser president-elect donald trump during this year's election. election. looks like this investigation is not just about one loan. my investigation is focused on two loans extended. one, the low for the contractor between 20 and 30,000 dollars. 30,000 dollars. the other, additional mortgage on his home for $350,000. what do the seven? in both cases the wonder say they are being paid back by gilmore and monahan, gilmer's law form. not gilmer himself. gilmore monahan was founded by gilmore 35 years ago last year did a total of $2.5 million in municipal work in towns across the state. now paying a personal loan and mortgage back out of law for money could run if i of state ethics role. i talked to a lawyer who is involved in the state bar association about that on thursday. >> that something the attorney general and irs would be interested in hearing about. >> are you saying that nixing the two, using business funds for nonbusiness could be a way to avoid tax? make absolutely. it's tax evasion. evasion. it's fraud. >> gilmore's own attorney.

christie denied any wrongdoing and was not charged in the federal case. in that case, two former allies were convicted and wouldn't pleaded guilty. >>> president obama has announced his support for requiring women to register for the draft. now changing the policy would require an act of congress and there are no signs that lawmakers plan to move to alter the law. we hit the streets to see what people think about the potential change. >> when you think military draft, who generally comes to mind? >> i think like young males. >> the men. >> between 18 and 25 probably. >> for now that's true but maybe not for long. the obama administration just announced it supports requiring women ages 18 to 25 to also register for the draft. >> that's a little scary. >> it's a man's war. >> it's a grandmom and a parent, no, i won either. >> i'd be mad. i don't want to go. >> but in december of 2015, barriers were broken when the administration opened all military positions even combat jobs to women that led some to believe this is the next logical step. >> we are fighting

chris christie. of course, there's been all the drama behind the scenes with chris christie. this is from politico reporting, as we should say. christie interested in being the chair of the republican national committee. that might be an interesting role for chris christie because he likes the spotlight, keeps him a little bit away from the white house. that seems like a gig he would want. would trump want him there, do you think? >> what's interesting about the selection process, you think about christie, rudy giuliani, who have been there with trump, been so loyal to him, and to think they wouldn't serve in the administration, i think, is pretty interesting. for christie i think that could be a big role. whether republicans want him to be the face of the party after bridgegate, after all that's gone on with chris christie is another question. he was chair of the rga. he kind of knows the ins and outs of managing these kinds of things, fundraising and that thing, but if republicans want chris christie to be the face of the party, i'm not convinced they do at this point. >> a

>> right, christi. this is video that had never been seen or heard publicly until yesterday until jurors had the opportunity to hear from the 22-year-old directly, the self-described white supremacist say that he did it. this is essentially the confession that authorities now have. it is cold. it is calculated. it is what prosecutors hope the jury saw. take a listen. >> i went to that church if charleston, and, uh -- i did it. >> you did what? did you shoot them? >> yes. >> reporter: the confession video is overexposed. dylann roof's motive is crystal clear. >> so your deal -- is it like -- >> to agitate race relations. >> reporter: seemingly consumed by a racist theory. he researched black on white crime during the george zimmer han trial. it was then he started down a path toward hate crimes. >> do you consider yourself a white supremacist? >> i do, sure. white people are superior, if that's what you mean. >> reporter: church surveillance video shows roof entering the house of worship in june. he was

they claim the measure is targeting newspapers that covered christie on the bridge-gate scandal. it would do away with the law that requires legal notices to be posted in newspapers and those notices make up a large portion of paper revenues, a spokesman for christie denied the claim. >>> the bill proposal comes two weeks after two former christie allies were convicted of causing a traffic jam on the gw bridge in 2013. prosecutors said the aides retaliated against a democratic mayor who refused to endorse governor christie. the governor was not charged and has denied knowing about the scheme. >>> it is 4:48. let's take you state by state and county by county for a look at some of the stories across our area. >> camden county chili's váu$e city for family onation to services holiday gift project, the annual drive helps kids and teenagers all across south jersey. you can drop off new hoodies, pajamas, toys, books, winter coats or even cash to chili's cherry hill location at the marketplace at garden state park, that begins at 9:00 this morning. >>> in bucks county today officials

christi and victor. >> all righty. yeah, ryan, it will be interesting to see what you hear from those people that are there today if any of them are returning from the last time purpose there. thank you so much, ryan nobles, we appreciate it. >>> let's continue the conversation now with cnn senior politics reporter steven colinson and errol lewis. steven, i want to start with you on what we are now hearing from the president-elect about the hacks here. we did not hear him talk about it last night in orlando. we will -- it's yet to see if we will see if he talks about it today in mobile, but the last time he mentioned it was this tweet that he sent out that was going to the dnc and hillary clinton, not the hack itself. there seems to be a specific strategy there going after by not talking about russia. >> yeah, i think so, victor. what the trump transition has tried to do is portray this as part of political tu multi. the idea that in their opinion democrats and critics of donald trump and the intelligence community are

christie denied any wrongdoing and was not charged in the federal case. in that case, two former allies were convicted and wouldn't pleaded guilty. >>> president obama has announced his support for requiring women to register for the draft. now changing the policy would require an act of congress and there are no signs that lawmakers plan to move to alter the law. we hit the streets to see what people think about the potential change. >> when you think military draft, who generally comes to mind? >> i think like young males. >> the men. >> between 18 and 25 probably. >> for now that's true but maybe not for long. the obama administration just announced it supports requiring women ages 18 to 25 to also register for the draft. >> that's a little scary. >> it's a man's war. >> it's a grandmom and a parent, no, i won either. >> i'd be mad. i don't want to go. >> but in december of 2015, barriers were broken when the administration opened all military positions even combat jobs to women that led some to believe this is the next logical step. >> we are fighting

kennedy: chris christie was one of the first major republicans to endorse donald trump. but according to trump he has apparently he's turned down every jobe was offered in the administration base wanted to be attorney general. we are told he said no to veterans affair, homeland security chief and white house adviser. trump offered the a.g. job to alabama senator jeff sessions. the party panel is back. i will start with you. you know that the governor is incredibly unpopular at home. now he's been os extra sides off the trump train. harris: you remember a few weeks ago that we learned the vice president-elect pence would be take over as transition team leader and it would not be governor christie. my thought is now we know why. when you have a child in your house who is always begging for something other than what you give them, and those things are supposedly fabulous. then what do you do? you say no to that child. over and over again until that child gets the message that i am not going to get what i want. then they move on. they would love to see him out of the state o

i think the translation of that is also that christie didn't get anything close to what he wanted. there was a lot of personal friction there. remember, he lost his job running the transition. so they had a conversation where i'm told the president-elect felt -- said he felt badly and wanted to patch things up but it was clearly difficult for both of them. >> you have rudy giuliani, out, chris christie, out. some other high profile supporters of donald trump. newt gingrich, mike huckabee. what are you hearing? >> don't cry for me argentinarg. these guys are going to make a ton of money selling their closeness and insight of donald trump and his administration. their proximity to it. look, they have a great life. i know rudy giuliani pretty well. he's got a pretty great life in the private sector and he gets to play golf, hang out with his friends, travel the world and make a lot of money and do it all from his private sector niche. if you're going to give that up, why give it up for something is not what you really want? i think he was willing to give it up for secretary of state,

the news with christie today is that his came out, it turns out, out, $1 million. they had pretty good year, it seems. christie, of course, the breadwinner, taking majority of that. >> so donald trump, person of the year? what do you think? >> do you think it is relevant any more? >> the "time" magazine cover. they have always, at least, recent history, they picked a president-elect as their person of the year. the difference here is they are mocking him. you know, it lack the whole thing, it is a shame. i think the original point. i don't know it is relevant. i am curious as to what the president-elect is going to tweet about it. it is a good thing. i don't know. >> he said it was incredible. >> yeah. >> thanks, diana. >> take a look at this stocking video. take a look that shocking video. >> (beep). >> in it, you see stand-up comic performing, then ducks and chaos erupts. loud pops ring out. the crowd flees in. that is new york city based comedian. her friend was bowling while headlining, so that night, he had many times. tony and her friends were unharmed but th

back in 2004 christie, then a u.s. attorney in new jersey, prosecuted kushner's father charles, a billionaire real estate development. charles kushner was accused of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and other violations. it became a shakespearean drama with charles kushner's own relatives including a sister turning against him. in a sordid revenge plot, charles kushner hired a prostitute to lure his sister's husband into having sex in a motel room. the encounter was d charles kushner sent the tape to his sister. it didn't work. >> seth: seems like a chill guy. [ laughter ] also, christie's been angling for a job this whole time knowing he put trump's son-in-law's father in jail. what did he think was going to happen? i'll just kiss trump's ass and throw away all my remaining dignity, but it will all be worth it if his son-in-law forgets that incredibly traumatic time when i put his dad in jail. move over, bridge closing. chris christie's got a new best plan ever. in fact nbc news reported the trump transiti

i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. merry christmas to you. you are listening to the spelman college glee club here in atlanta. you're going to love what they have for you. >> their voices. >>> we also have the very latest news for you, of course, and a look at some of the biggest stories of 2016. want to start with alison kosik with today's top stories. >> good morning, christi and victor. developing news overnight. debris from a crashed russian military plane has been found in the black sea. the plane disappeared from radar shortly after taking off from sochi. russia's defense ministry says 92 people including 8 crew members were aboard. it's unclear what caused the crash but one russian official is ruling out terrorism. let's go to matthew chance who's joining us live from moscow. good morning. >> reporter: alison, this aircraft is a 154 model aircraft, old airliner, used to be the workhorse of the soviet fleet, but it's used by the russian defense ministry for v.i.p. flights. it stopped in sochi on the black sea for refueling but it was ca
