Mike happened money on the line with us the attorney knows to bring a fire radio
ring a fire radio dot com Pat thanks so much for filling in for me yesterday
world tummy have a great audience let me just a just
its is well-informed audience that you have II agrees
really really fine people listening in and watching and
I button junior do appreciate your help are
with so we've got this circling above ago Governor Christie this morning no
the asserting know what he's not here here
beers areas I cause people gotta know whether or not their president's a crock
well I'm not a crop sorry I I that I Russia Thursday right here's the right
erotic scene pinback I am Who I am
but I am NOT a bully that area that's that's area
so I'm guessing you you've seen as a
did you see the guy our wild scene taking the fifth sure
yet this is what it is now is al capone politics
a Tom I mean this is not comical petty politics mixed with
bowling intimidation the can that we're used to seeing from
from this character chris Christie what we have here is at the very least as you
have
obstruction with the criminal investigation you get
the are a whole assortment love
a minor felonies in probably some major felonies related to it and then add to
that the civil case that you know I'm
a woman died because I've this use governor's conduct in
it is his conduct it is impossible to believe
that his the understand while staying is is his childhood friend
alright this is somebody these known as entire life any
life doesn't take place in a vacuum he doesn't walk into the office where he
works while staying every day in
talks with him every day has beers with a min you interact with him
in this doesn't come up a so-so what what he's doing is he just digging
himself into bigger pit
and it's gonna be a big pit by the time this is a way do you think it's possible
that there is some variation on you know the old
shakespeare will not someone rid me of this a
others so troublesome monk and
you know and so while staying in and what's your name can miss miss Kelly
decide to go off and do it well i i you know it's possible but I think well I
think what you have is
is it all flows from the top year Tom you know in cultures are
yeah organization always flows from the top in you generally surround yourself
with people that are a reflection of who you are and this is a situation where
we're just seeing the agent at me look think about this while staying the
handle
hands over all these these emails from these memos
where they we have we have the names redacted we have
very important name redacted now that poor that
that that memo is damning
is it can be I mean we're talking about jeopardizing the
human life mean they think that's funny and they say well it's okay if
school children can make to school because they're probably democrat
children anyway
but here's here's where the edge over the years that redacted demo
I'm that that redacted memo by the
the persons whose name was redacted in this is to prediction this is based on
duty on
dealing with redacted memos in reading thousands and thousands and memos were I
have to go to trial all the time
typically what you see is it's where is redacted because
that person is a week link in the chain
means not so much that it goes up to a higher level is typically we don't want
anybody talking to that person
because I've already talked to him they're freaked out by love this
in so that's typically the first time you start seeing names like that
redacted in the other side it is it's either that
or somebody very very high and food chain by weak link in the chain you mean
as somebody who might squeal
oh yes somebody who's probably already talking
you know if you look at this particular memo that what they were saying is they
felt bad about what was happening here
I mean I tell you a little bit right there what about school kids
yeah what about the school kids and in this flippin Rick this flippin response
by
while staying well gee they're probably democrats anyway well that
tells me a lot in a just a i guess its just to us
Canada second sense that you get when you read enough for this stuff
the typically when I see that can a scenario it's somebody that they're
worried about
talking in so chances are they may be talking already
mmm to to I understand is a federal prosecutors in federal prosecutors
looking at this and you can bet that the democrats are
ball till behind this they're all types have agencies you see
you had well steam pleading the Fifth Amendment the really winik
when it comes to come to it there's all types of ways that he can be here
already for obstruction of an investigation that's all it takes
well I can't they he can't they just impanel a grand jury and compel
testimony
of course of course in in the fifth is the fifth doesn't make any difference at
that point somebody's gonna talk
and looked this is not something that just passes
this is the type thing to where you already have a man
who is very quizzical about running for president you have the media is just
gotta go about this guy because they just
just have such a lack insight the reason they love this guy's may want to call
him a liberal
they want to say well he's a different kind of democrat
the reason that for that is is a role they're always looking for something
like that to sell
is but this is a guide that it is not he's his heart is not in it
his health is not in it his wife is not ha is not happy about him even think
about it
so this isn't necessarily the cat I think that insist career
but it's certainly probably pushes him to say you know I don't
I don't know but all those presidential thing I I don't know if I want to do all
this
in but he certainly is not a liberal this is a guy three terms he even
vetoed Democrats efforts to do with the millionaire tax
in New Jersey he it was estimated $220 billion dollars that he took away from
workers but with their pensions
he opposed gay marriage but goes it goes on a two billion dollar tax break that
he gave for core
he was corporate POW's these are directly traced to people who gave him
money
people I'll you know like for a potential insurance Panasonic
go your food these are people who gave tax breaks to
gave subsidies to raise the tax on working poor by doing away with the
earned income tax credit
eliminated funding for women where women's health where he cut almost eight
million dollars in the Planned Parenthood program
seventh-highest the seventh-highest unemployment
in the United States so I this is not a gas
that this does not that the media the corporate media
that is show woefully lazy
Tom they are so rediculous Lee lazy nowadays yeah
that they they say this is guy we want or we want to invent
they don't have anything work with him by his I think he's been doing a John
McCain on these guys for awhile you know
me he makes himself available he be pals around with them he's he's colorful he's
always
is always got a funny sound byte mmm I you know it's
John McCain played the media really really well for about a decade there
before he ran for president
he did any I agree with you i think is very good this is the thing that they've
that anybody this asking questions need to say look let me get this right
you might be present United States in what we know you know this from your
from your history I know that for a fact is staff
stays with a guy like that he doesn't just if he's got while staying day one
he has while staying day to you or people like day it like while staying
is so the staff is going to be advising him are they gonna be playin
they gonna be doing this kind of thing with yuk yuk jokes with China
in with Russia hey let's have a little fun inning in impetus
in broilers into an international conflict this is just
not just bad judgment we're gonna find out this is directly obstruction uva/uvb
a police investigation the chris Christie knew about
in chris Christie can trial he wants to do now is to deny it
there was a great cross-examiner his name was a
well it the point Louis nizar was his name but
Louis nizar had a theory and he said look when you look at the case
in you believe it probably happened then you have this
strong feeling that probably happen in such a way
most to the time you're going to be right and as I look at this case
I just say there's it's impossible for this man to have operated in a vacuum
were all these people all the way from this is is
a stasis deputy staff advisers his press secretaries his right hand people
two were he didn't find out a lot more about what was yeah I mean it was a it
was
it was more than a month ago the Rachel Maddow is talking about this on MSNBC in
a big way Liz

Authority said there was no traffic study right
