0 >> what pudgy dictator did you make disappear this afternoon? >> if i said that it won't be so mysterious. >> let's start this show. christie says he was blind cited. blind sided. i think they would be terrified of him finding out and not being told. >> a couple of things. i remember when i first ended up going through training and my first direct boss before i went out in the field and disappeared he said, look if you or anybody working with you makes a mistake come and tell me. that's it and we will sort it out, but just come and tell me. that's a key part. the other part is i'm willing to believe that president obama knew nothing about nsa or irs or the health carrollout mess. i am willing to believe that christie didn't know anything. >> obama is sitting down in fort lee, new jersey. >> it is a cogent thought. the problem is that both christie and obama have management style problems. >> and they both love hot, spicy wings. >> that was my thought of the day. >> when your bosses at the agency told you if you make a mistake come and tell them did he wink after that? >> i want to get dan in on this hopefully sherrod won't interrupt her. >> he is the only one that laughed at me. >> she is over here smashing. >> dana, help me. >> it is a new year. >> should i just shut up now? i want you to take my notes. dana, he apologized. the mayor of fortly -- fort lee accepted the apology in a good natured way. should the -- should america move on to the next scandal that probably involves president obama? >> i was going say it has to do with obama. christie's staff was drunk with power. he needs to come in and say -- hopefully -- i don't think there are any e-mails or texts , but you do create a culture and a tone like when you say it is okay to give -- to use the irs to target conservatives. maybe president obama never directly said that, but it was a wink, wink, nod, nod. >> dana is stealing my idea about management. >> the staff got kind of cocky and thought they were the governor. they were throwing around the power. it is like if you go to the 40/40 club, jay-z's club? the staff acts like they are jay-z. no, you are the waiter. >> it is the bouncer attitude. it is the bouncer attitude. >> entitled, but you don't have any reason to be. >> it is called the 40/40 club? >> the 40/40. >> i haven't been there. >> really? the reason he looks great is that's the world's largest podium. can we roll that again as he is walking in? this is perhaps the most important thing you will ever see from this press conference. can reroll that? this is a podium that is essentially the size of an suv. he walks in and he looks like he is about 5 foot 4 and 112 pounds. >> we should take a field trip tomorrow to trenton and we can film you with that same walkout and see how big is that podium? anybody got an apple box? >> you can actually see roman chariots roaming around. >> that's a great move. everyone respects him now. it looks like he lost weight and he has a giant podium. >> she actually getting bigger. >> if it goes this way the podium will be the size of the white house. >> i thought it was just msg. >> we should point out and i haven't heard this a lot, but shaquille o'neil is standing by christie. >> did he really say that? >> he absolutely did. >> it makes christie look even smaller. he's sorry for acting so bizarrely. it is day whatever of -- >> great song. dennis rodman apologized thursday for his recent interview on cnn. it was there the cogent cager first implied that kenneth bay had done something wrong. >> set himself up. >> do you understand what kenneth bay did? >> yeah. >> do you understand what he did? >> what did he do? you tell me. >> no, no, no. you tell me. you tell me. why is he held captive? >> they haven't released any charges. >> oh my god, i can't watch. >> and then he started to make sense. >> no, no, no. i don't give a [bleep] i don't give a rat's ass what you think. look at these guys here. look at them. let me do this. really? really? i'm gonna tell you one thing. people around the world, around the world i'm gonna do one thing , you guys behind the mic right now, we are -- the guys here are doing one thing. >> exactly. despite that brilliance, rody issued a statement through his publicist that sounds painful apologize together family of kenneth bay, to his teammates and como saying it was a stressful day and some of my teammates were leaving because of pressure from their family and business associates. my dreams of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart. i had been drinking. it is not an excuse. by the time the interview happened i was upset and overwhelmed. well at least he is taking responsibility. >> people are like this, we don't know that [bleep]. >> dana -- >> i like the cuomo family. have i been in new york my whole life. but he dropped the baton. >> dana, rodman said he was drinking before his interview. since you do this every day before "the five" -- >> he just needs to learn how to handle it better. you need to know your limits. a two-drink limit before the show. here is my idea about rodman. i think president obama would be perfectly within his rights to arrest rodman when he comes back from north korea this next time at immigration. >> why? >> do not let him back in this country. you think they can't find some sort of tax evasion or some sort of irs problem with dennis rodman? >> baby mama drama. >> that's the thing. i think president obama needs a little lift right now. his poll numbers are getting better because he hasn't been seen for a couple weeks. as soon as he comes back it will head back down, but america would respect him if he arrested dennis rodman and didn't let him back in the country. >> i would respect him if he went up to rodman and got back on the plane and said no. no, dennis. >> bad dennis. >> that would be great. kenneth bay's family accepted rodman's apology. >> what else are you going to do? >> do you? >> no, i don't. the people i feel bad for are baker and robinson and these other guys. they realized quickly how bad -- you would think they would know better. >> for whatever reason they agreed to go on this trip. >> money. >> and then shortly after you can see in their body lapping wedge they realized they were on a wrong path. and now they are trying to get the hell out of there. >> you know what it looked like? it looked like they were the relatives of a dictator. like rodman was the dictator talking and they are the ones behind him saying i hope he doesn't get mad at me. he is going to kill me. >> the press conference talk. >> he actually looked like chavez. >> he reminded me of qaddafi. >> he reminded me of jj from "good times." he reminded me of nobody with power. he sounded like the cookie monster getting angry. don't insult the cookie monster. >> andy, are you still angry off this? >> i know this is being reported everywhere, rodman issued an apology through his publicist. how about rodman issuing an apology from his publicist. >> he doesn't have a publicist. he wrote the apology and then he said -- it was on a napkin and then he faxed it. >> the publicist actually said said -- he said really? they are blaming the cuomo thing on his teammates. his publicist says a lot of these comments with some of the players contributed to his lashing out at cuomo. so he just threw his entire team -- >> dennis should have done it by himself. don't bring everybody else over there. they will have people pulling them in either direction. stay home. you ain't ready for this battle. dennis rodman is the right dude because he can put it on his hand and bounce a ball. >> he is a hall of famer. he was a great player. >> i don't know who he is. >> is this cuomo dude related to the governor? >> yeah. >> were you a really a part of the cia? >> we are an a-political organization. >> can i point out another part of rodman's excuse i find hilarious? the i have been drinking as if that is an anomaly to his normal existence. if anything that's all he does is drink. he should say i'm sorry i wasn't drinking. >> i was just being myself. i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry i am me. >> the worst things i do is when i am sober. >> i be drinking is the new miley cyrus album. >> i think rodman should just open a korean restaurant and get it out of his system. andy what is wrong with you? >> you like dennis rodman. i know that. >> i think everybody is making fun of north korea and i don't like it. >> we have to take a break. >> south korea ain't all great. >> it is better than north korea. >> it is better than north korea, but it is no puerto rico. slow -- slow it down, south korea. k pop could be better. >> i don't even know what that means. howe. wow. >> i even know what that means. >> what? >> korean pop. >> no, it is the guy married to britney spears. >> should you mix pills and booze on a plane? a better question, should you mix plane and booze on a pill? i lied. that was not a better question.
