0 it doesn t seem like he knew. or he s a very good actor, but if it s closer to his core, and obviously, deputy chief of staff he dismissed. that s a close adviser. that s a problem. i do think that christie s going to have to continue to weather this storm, bumt this is what leadership is about. if he had nothing to do with this, it s your leadership during the difficult times that defines you as a politician. so far his damage control has been pretty good. all right. we ll watch closely, bob. thank you, as always, my friend. for now, as i said, chris christie s poll numbers appear to be holding up. his approval rating in new jersey, taking a slight hit, but largely positive at 59%. nationwide, 60% of those surveyed say their opinion of the governor has not changed. knowing what it likes to deal with a crisis. how do you think the governor is handling this one? i think today was a godsend. people said, well, he shouldn t have the speeches. he s gauss a forum to state of the sta
side than men there were no terror plots at the time of the ben gez attacks. men disagrees with marah more when she relayed the white house position that it has escaped the death spiral of obama exchanges. obamacare exchanges. total votes tonight 181,000. finally tonight, we thought seeing the massive amount of coverage of governor chris christie s bridge scandal in new jersey that every angle had been covered. every possible fallout chewed over by pundits there could be something that everyone has been missing. that was the first time i knew about this. this morning i have terminated the employment of brigitte kelly effective immediately. i have terminated her employment because she lied to me. in retrospect he probably should have expected in this traffic scandal was connected to bridge it kelly. and if i were him, i would keep my eye on communications director lane closh. closure. that s it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid.
0 truth. leon panetta should have spoken up to the president directly. the people at the pentagon, and thankfully the people at the cia, stood back while all of this was unfolding, and allowed this narrative to go on longer than they should have. the commander of of rucom s joint spesk task force testified no one from the military was ever advising this was a demonstration gone out of control. tomorrow will reveal more from the benghazi transcripts including evidence on whether the white house willfully misled the american people on how well prepared president obama was on september 10th of 2012. you reached out to leon panetta and the white house. that s right. we sent an e-mail to panetta s former chief of staff, no response, and at the white house press briefing today, press secretary jay carney who knew i was there and why i was there, declined to call on me for a question. going back tomorrow? i will. thank you. for 15 months, there have been questions about who or

0 refreshing. that is that he took responsibility. and i think you know i have been kind of hard on chris christie. as a conservative i was not happy with the embrace of president obama a week before the election. i m not happy with the economic record. i don t like some of his appointments. and chris christie did something that was really refreshing, went out it there, fired people, took responsibility. nobody has been fired for fast and furious. nobody has been fired with the nasa scandal or target-nsa scandal. rollout of obamacare even, greta. nobody has been held accountable. and i also like the fact that he left wiggle room. if there is an email that shows that he knew ahead of time or knew about this, he is probably finished. because he said he had no knowledge whatsoever. so, i find it refreshing, especially in light of years of hearing that it s bush s fault and fox news fault and sean hannity and greta van susteren s fault and talk radio s fault. i like what happened here. w
