Does the Truth Still Matter: In Conversation with Chris Christie

- No Republican politician illustrates the power and peril of Donald Trump and his takeover of the G.O.P. quite like New Jersey's two-term governor, Chris Christie. Christie, once the exemplar of Republican pugilism, went from competitor to wingman in Trump's successful rise to the presidency only to become his most outspoken antagonist. How does a man who has seen it all think the United States arrived at this juncture and what does he think the future holds?
Featuring former Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie in conversation with Leigh Ann Caldwell, American political reporter for The Washington Post.
Not voting is a vote for Trump. Period. Abstinence is allowance. Vote for Biden, avoid dictatorship. That simple.
Sorry... I'll take Biden on his worst day over Spurs' on his best...
TDS. Take two aspirins and call your shrink in the morn.
@@martinj8007 Someone made fun of your God emperor and now you are mad. Sad.
I started to like him until he started to bash Joe Biden for being old. My guess is Joe will outlive him and Trump.
You can't compare the Biden's to the Trump's grift. Come on Christie. You know that.
Biden hasn't committed a criminal offense--Trump has committed several.
It’s the same grift, no matter the extremity. I would not compare the Trumps with the Bidens’, but the point he is making is sound
A very weak answer from Christie on this question.
@@flyeaglesfly76ers81HIW HAS THE BIDEN'S GRIFTED? Republicans false equivalency and Chris Christie has NO credibility. He helped make Drumpf and made him attack Hillary during the debate. He us and will always be the typical repugnican. He knows there is BO comparison between the Drumpf's and BIDEN'S. He is only big in size but small in stature. SMH
Biden is doing a great job, nothing wrong with supporting him 🙃
4 more years...PAUSE...PAUSE. 😅
@@scottkellogg9736 So he made a gaff--Trump makes them everyday.
@@RidingWithBiden They're just not the same. If you don't see the cognitive decline,maybe you should be checked out?
A no vote is a vote for Trump
Don’t agree with Mr Christy. How does he know what Biden can or cannot do, just because of his age? Biden has done well and has always been for the American people.
I knew Beau Biden too. You’re right he was a great, great guy and could have been President not his Dad. Although we used to joke about how I wished his Dad was Prez and he said “me too”. I do not agree with you equating the Biden family as same as Trump. A great guy like Beau comes from great support and loving parents. Don Jr and the “will” is character and the Trump children’s lack of. They are reflections of their families. Hunter has owned his mistakes and is fighting and winning against the Republican onslaught. If his dad was on trial the him and the entire Biden family would be there in support. Where are the Trumps? Come on Chris, you know this is true and means something. What do you think the jury wonders why even his wife isn’t there? Those little things are noted by juries. As you know. So stop slamming Biden or saying they are grifters without evidence. Trump is on trial there’s your grifter.
24:49 President Biden is physically and mentally active.
I will vote for "really good person" Joe Biden anyday over Trump or Christy.
😂
I won't
@@MELVYNANDERSONI hope you like facism. SMH
Chris Christie is an intelligent man who is wasting his time and the general public’s time urging people not to vote for Trump or Biden. Just saying he knows both men well and neither are fit to be President is not a good use of my precious time. I live in reality.
U cannot blaspheme President Biden, you know he is doing very well for the country, hiw dare u not acknowledge his great work
Wow, you are seriously ill
But can he maintain for almost 5 more years? Maybe, maybe not. Have you really thought about a President Harris to govern? But the thought of trump or whoever his VP would be is terrifying.
Great work when you catch an illegal alien in your garage just today.
@@sonniquickpianoimprov2231 There is nothing wrong with Harris.
@@sonniquickpianoimprov2231id rather have Harris over any of Trump's vps any day
Christie opened the door for Trump by endorsing him in 2016 when he thought he could get something from Trump. Unforgiveable!
Christie is a butt kisser. Nothing more
I have very little respect for Chris Christie. He enabled Trump for years. I have less respect for Bill Barr. He’s a despicable human being.
If is so uplifting to read a comment from someone who hasn't made a poor judgement call in their life. At least Christie admitted his mistake and learned from it. Apparently you think someone's life should always be judged that way. Grow up.
Very disappointed in Barr. I thought there was hope for him. People make mistakes but owning them is another matter entirely. I think Christie did this.....Barr on the other hand may just be fearful of retribution.
I don't know..... but he has nothing to fear if Biden wins.....so maybe hedging his bets? I'd like to believe that most people (myself included) have the courage to act in opposition to fear. None of us really know what we'd do until we're actually in the situation.
You really didn't listen to his replies and what he's trying to do it's like somebody has done a wrong and you'll never give them a second chance seriously he has come out as very genuine and remorseful for his mistakes why don't you acknowledge that
@@Maryjane-mt7pt Chris Christie is a liar who was a Trump enabler and sycophant. He’s not as bad as Barr. But not many are. I don’t believe Christie has a future in politics.
@@christopherkomar1681- I watched the video and listened to Christie carefully. He is a POS that is trying to play both sides so that he can stand in 2028.
There Is No Comparison between trump and biden, shame on you christy...
He is close to the situation and telling it close to how it is.
Biden is far superior to Trump.
@@martinj8007- No. He is trying to play both sides and make a play for 2024. Christie is the same POS he was when he supported Trump and gave him the push to become president.
There's a lot I like about Christie. I admire that he stood up to Trumpism. On the issue of Biden being too old versus Trump being a narcissistic psychopathic criminal, I can't understand how he feels that it's okay not to vote for Biden given his very low opinion of Trump. Christie says his vote for president won't matter since he lives in New Jersey (a blue state) but his opinion does matter since he has a following of sane Republicans. Anyone who has the least bit of logic and reason, in my opinion has a civic duty to make sure DT never gets near the WH again. Biden in spite of not being "salesman" enough to promote his policies etc., has the country's best interest at heart and is a decent human being. We'd all like to see a stronger orator etc. and Biden's language specific gaffes can grate, but since it is a binary choice, I don't think there is a choice. Biden, being too old could be compared to Christie being too fat, (his words) .....both have a greater effect on mortality, but that would never stop me from voting for someone who was too old, too fat, too unpolished etc. Maybe Christie believes this is just another election that will shake itself out if Trump somehow takes back the WH. Maybe he believes that democracy as we know it is not being challenged. Maybe he believes a Trump cabinet would be principled men and women who could govern with him and keep his worst impulses in check. I think on this point Christie is being cavalier and selfishly egotistical given the paramount importance of this election. Maybe he is ignorant of the possibility that he himself would be in the top ranks of the people DT has sworn to exact retribution. Regardless of what Christie says my opinion of him is that he is decent, open to constructive criticism and is not so immovable on his positions, as to be ridiculous.
I am a former Republican leaning independent turned Democrat for now. I think if the Republican party (not MAGA) has any future at all, this election needs to go Democrat.
Thank you, Mary Jane.
This is spot on!
Yeah he lost me there.
I’m with you. Former conservative, leaning to Team Blue temporarily until we put MAGA in the rear view mirror.
I have heard a lot of good things coming out of Kristy‘s mouth, but I am 89 years old and I could run the country in terms of intellect. Not everyone who’s old has dementia. And I would bet on the guy with a track record like Biden’s on any Jerk. Yes I think that there was someone else that I would rather both vote for but again you have two choices and one of them is absolutely out of the question. Don’t stay home. Vote for Biden, even if you don’t like him. Vote against the Magus, even if you don’t like the other candidates. We have to stop this nonsense in this country.
Bless you for your wise words.
I second that opinion!!!!!😂
I third!
Yes! Vote for Biden.
Policy is everything and Biden is terrible.
54:05 Look at the teams Joe and Don surround themselves with. Joe has a team that is capable of GST, whereas Don surrounds himself with incompetent yes men.
...and worse. Hateful losers like the Steves Miller and Bannon.
And don't forget Roger Stone !
Joe surrounds himself with Cheney era warmongers, but at least they fit diversity initiatives so its okay.
@@philipemerson473 Don't forget Four Seasons Landscaping!
Christie, I'm so disappointed in you - with all my heart! I cant listen to you anymore!!!!!!😪
Chris is not thinking deeply here. Not voting is also voting for the one you don’t like.
Yes. Doing nothing is doing something.
I think he is “not voting” because NJ is so blue. But he should be supporting his followers to Vote for Joe, vs Not voting.
@@jpeachy61secretly he wants Drumpf to win than a decent Democrat. Chris is dishonest and knows he can influence many repugnicans.
Suggesting to the masses that withholding your vote when you don't agree with the two choices will very likely be what gives Trump a win this November. So, while you may say that you won't support Trump, you are doing exactly that when you refuse to vote for Biden because of his age.
🙌🙌🙌 well said
Republicans, as flexible as statues
I think Christie is the one that needs to go away. Vote Blue!
I really like Chris Cristie and I would have voted for him if he had done the Republican candidate. I’m really disappointed to hear that he does not endorse Biden and is not doing anything to help ensure Trump does not get reelected. Sad.
Biden doesn't want Trump to ruin this Country
really bidens already ruined it
@@MELVYNANDERSONTELL US HOW 🦻👂🦻Then return the stimulus cheques you received because it was Pelosi and Biden who approved them. RESEARCH
Chris stop the games u know that Biden is better sleeping that orange man awake…
TDS. Get back on your meds.
A no vote for Biden is a vote for Trump 😮
Thank God!
@@TY9941_in a facist country you won't have a God
I thought at first you were talking about Trump when you said he doesn't answer things that correspond to the questions he was asked the only thing I agree with you is you should have done the Super Bowl interview but as far as I'm concerned if you're not going to have people they don't have a choice but between Biden and Trump and Trump is more of a threat to democracy than Biden then I guess the truth doesn't matter to you
I was a Republican from 1991 to 2016. Trump destroyed the party. Christie was the only one who could’ve brought me back from being a now registered Dem
Christie opened the door for Trump by endorsing him in 2016 when he thought he could get something from Trump. Unforgiveable!
@@Tom.Strand When Trump said the election was rigged, Christie came out against him. IMO Christie made up for his mistakes by being brave enough to call out Trump these past few years
@@andiestewart7423he is still supporting Drumpf if he doesn't vote and influences others to do the same. So technically he wants Drumpf to win. He is therefore NOT remorseful.
Minute 17 - I hope President Biden and his campaign listen to this and take it to heart.
This Chris Christie is insulting us ' baby boomers!' It is offensive what he said
about us!
dang tootin' 😤
Chris Christie is a baby boomer himself and when he tries to describe baby boomers, he’s probably using himself as a reference.
And fwiw, Biden is not a boomer.
@@songsmithy07 you are right, Biden (along with Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley), are of that generation between the greatest generation and the baby boomers.
@@timothyepowell8388might as well throw trump in there he was born in 46 thats like the first year of baby boomers
Youth Republicans . God help us.
I don't see how any young person today, only recently being made aware of politics, could choose to a republican with the current state of the party as it is today.
@@sonniquickpianoimprov2231 They do not know what is happening. The videos and circles they are apart of don't tell them about the truth.
@@sonniquickpianoimprov2231 Right wing media + racial anxiety = low information voters
Biden is A Good President. You would rather throw your vote. Harris is capable of taking his place 😮
Very much enjoyed Mr. Christie even though I'm a left leaning Democrat. This was an excellent common sense presentation reminding us that we are more alike that we are different and we would do well to remember it - and also that it is possible to disagree and still remain civil and collegial. I hope we will continue to hear his voice as he continues to bring common sense and civility to a country sadly in need to it. Many thanks for making t his available to a broader audience on You Tube.
Christie opened the door for Trump by endorsing him in 2016 when he thought he could get something from Trump. Unforgiveable!
@@Tom.Strandat least he acknowledged it was wrong for him to do that better than what must Republicans would do even if they are a "rino"
But he's not voting and that helps Drumf. That makes no sense
If only Christie truly recognized truth, he does this program whilst publicly stating he won’t vote for President Biden. His views of truth and facts are those I don’t recognize!
He is not in denial in regards to Bidens health. You are.
@@martinj8007pray tell us what's wrong with his health. You're delusional. Go listen to his State of the Union speech, and listen to your cult leader trying to string two words. You probably believe Christopher Columbus discovered somewhere when he did NOT. There were people ALWAYS there when he landed. SMH. The world is square too right 🤔🤔
It's obvious that Christie isn't running for anything, or he wouldn't be insulting the baby boomers!
Seemed to me he was saying that Biden is a Boomer, he is not. Trump is an old boomer. Chris Cristie is a boomer himself, so I don't understand his point. Maybe tongue in cheek....he does seem to be somewhat self deprecating.
Agree I think he's done with running for political offices
@@clifford3467he should run 40 marathons LOL
Asking a liar if the truth still matters is a joke, but the American intelligentsia is a joke.
Describing how President Biden walks and how he sometimes stumbles on his words as his reasoning for not having faith in him is ridiculous. And when he talks about Biden and Trump possibly not being around because of their age, he should really turn the mirror to himself as obesity leads to other medical issues.
Exactly. Biden shuffles because he refused to wear the special boot when he hurt his foot. He stutters whenever he wants to speak quickly. So, to use that against someone shows Chris Christie is the same as Drumpf. They mock people's character and challenges. He should be careful especially after he had covid. He has NOT changed he is just angry with how he was treated by Kushner and Drumpf.
He is crunching candy while trying to make his point hahahha
Bitter man on a downward spiral. Christie has been reduced to this lowly platform.
Christie and truth in the same sentence? That’s rich.
Im a boomer
Hummm, I wonder if he still feels the same way about the SCOTUS in light of Alito’s upside down world. As for his attitude toward JB, did he forget they elected Ronald Reagan with dementia?
Enough is Enough Christi You Couldn't Get Even Close to the Presidential Win. Who ever listens to this guy.
I thought he did a great job with the state of Union. Look at Reagan’s second term. I would trust Biden’s staff over Reagan’s. I am
78 and agree with Rose Marie. I think it is time for Boomers to pass the torch to the next generation. You’re out of date on the tuition issue. Loans are so astronomical that we’re going to fall further behind if we don’t take action. Enjoyed your comments.
Informative and relevant for our Collective GOOD!
the Truth for Gov Christie also matters. He has opposed Trump all this time, but in the most important act millions of us will take next November he's going to fail miserably by writing in a candidate instead of voting for President Biden/VP Harris. His words do not have any importance at this point.
There's no one to replace Biden,
Does the Truth Still Matter with Chris Christie? No! It hasn't for decades - if it ever did.
I seriously was considering supporting Christie. I liked him and I thought a lot of what he said made sense. After this interview, I've lost all respect for him. His inability to support Biden when he knows that would go a long way to help other Republicans to vote for Biden that are on the fence is indefensable.
Many guys like Christie will not give up their party. They are better off creating a "new republican party" rebranding it a different name..."new republic" would be a good one. Trump has branded "his" party and highjacked the Republican party. It's soiled, like Trump's diaper and it will never be the same.
See!? This is the problem!! You say Trump pretty much is the end of the world, but Biden is old?! Ok, their both old, but one of the choices will do us in and hand America to puttin, but you just can't save the world and vote for the good guy?! But what I heard you say without saying is you can't vote for Biden because that black woman would become president!! That's exactly what you meant chris
Now he’s talking rubbish talking about Biden’s personal loss. What shame Christie!!
Yes truth still matters and always will.
Thank you Mr Christie 💯💙✅
Nixon election made me want to write in Mickey mouse
Christie is playing his angle. He wants a show on a network. Could be entertaining but I'm glad he's out of any office.
Fat jokes are weak. Plenty to drag this guy for to not go grade school
Where is Chris Christie now ? We need those very very few decent Republicans to be speaking out.
I wonder what Christie's thoughts about what the Supreme Court actually did. Aren't they any better that Judge Cannon?
Checking out from this presentation, giving Christie the floor to spew this stuff is really disgusting when our democracy is a stake - fu Christie
Chris Christie is full of it. Him saying that he can’t vote for Biden and then trashing him at the same time shows that he is actually for Trump but too afraid to say it.
We need a president, Christie. You won't vote for Trump nor Biden. You make no sense.
Christie in the debates was very weak. He looked and acted weak. He didn't raise his hand like he said, so quickly. He was petrified to put up his hand.
@@debraderoos5225 if you are black or anybody other than being white or anyone who is working for a living you shouldn’t vote for any Republican rather if it’s Christie or anyone else. Choosing a candidate does not have anything to do with how well they speak or debate. It’s all about their voting record and nothing else. If they don’t have a voting record, like most state politicians do, then you would look at the party they are from and consider its voting record. Since Christie is a Republican that alone would show that he would not measure up to being sympathetic towards black issues or labor issues. I only vote for a candidate who is pro black and pro labor on the issues. At the moment that happens to be the Democrats and not the Republicans.
Saying that Christie would be a good president is something I couldn’t be sure about, simply because he’s a Republican. The only time the Republican Party have been pro black with its politics was about 150 years ago when it was a new party during the Lincoln and Grant administrations.
Powerful closing words Governor Christie.
Biden isn't asking Christie for support because he really is insignificant.
I treasure my life and doughnuts 🍩
I will never forget the courage of this man. Thank you God for leaders with integrity 😭
I think Christie doesn’t see who Biden is really is and how he has been positive for our country and will be positive for our country.
Christie promotes AGEISM. Every person is much more than his/her age. However the longer we live our potential to evolve and grow more is GREAT, too!
What does OLD mean to Christie?
Yes, and remember, you are voting for an administration. Who does Biden have in his cabinet? Does Biden select thoughtful, smart, and experienced leaders? Absolutely. (And this is coming from a former conservative, hoping MAGA goes away.)
There is no truth coming out of any republican talking ever
Election results are still questioned regarding both parties.
Thinking you could “make trump better”-that is like marrying someone thinking you can change them. I think Joe Biden is honorable and I agree that Biden speaks before he thinks. Yes, it is generational That is one thing I did not like about him. I wonder what it would be like if a third party of honor, intelligence, and charisma might still be able to win. Time is short.
Joe Mansion Votes only with his Party Chris? Really?
Republicans talking just walk away
Christie is all upset that he wasn't picked as VP still..
If Chris Christie doesn't cast a vote for Biden it's a vote for trump
Christie is also a hypocrite at this point
He seems like
I like Christie, but he’s wrong this time. Every moral citizen in this country would vote for Joe Biden , though not PERFECT ( not even him Christie), is 99.9% better alternative than the other candidate -
I’m with you. He is wrong. I will vote Biden for democracy!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So not voting for anyone for president means nothing. Christie's reasoning is not good enough.
I'm impressed by this guy each time he speaks 👏
1 May, sooo great to hear the Truth from this man!
11% approval rating as Governor when he left for good reason, Drumph wannabee
Thank you for this interview with Mr. Chris Christie. While I can't agree with all he says, I can respect him. If I could have voted for him in this primary I would have. I feel he would have been the best choice for our nation from the Republican party. He seems to have a great love of America and care for our people. He impressed me when he visited the Middle East before he chose to run for president this race. He's a baby boomer too by the way, raised by people who fought for our country. May God bless.
Biden has done an incredible job in spite of the tragedies his endured.
For far too many, education didn't turn out to have been a good investment. Cancelling student loans is the justice in which you say you believe.
Be kind
One of the most untrustworthy individuals that ever existed, power hungry sociopath
🙏🙏🙏pray for our President ! Lets vote for democracy 🙏🙏🙏
A lot of what Christie says here rings true, and his personal feelings for Biden do too. Like when he tells the young man at the end he believes Biden would be "very hurt" to think he had offended. Biden has had to walk back thoughtless statements throughout his long career, but he has come back from those in very positive ways. His action is the key. Christie also said to look at Biden's record. If Biden has a problem with salesmanship it's getting fine-tuned right now, for sure.
I understand that Biden is old. But he has around him a great team that work to see his agenda move forward. And his agenda is working to improve the lives of so many people who need it. Trump's agenda is horrifying to reasonable people.
I think it's pretty clear Christie has no issue at all with Biden's character, but he gave clear warnings about Trump's.
Where I disagree with Christie:
1. There is no comparison with Hunter Biden using his family name to get a job he was actually qualified to do, and the continuous Trump family grift. Lara Trump is now DNC leader because of ... "God's will"???
2. He won't vote for either candidate. There is no way we can allow Trump to win. Ergo, we gotta vote for Biden in order to ensure that. We can't just leave that result to chance.
Look at Warren Buffet. He’s 92 and still working every day. And he’s clear as hell. Shame on you Chris Christie.
And Chris would take Warren's $$$ if he supported his campaign. Chris is a hypocrite.
And Chris would take Warren's $$$ if he supported his campaign. Chris is a hypocrite.
Great guy, man. Respect
he is right.... it is Not Normal and it is NOT ok.
Christy probably there for the green room food 😂
❤❤❤
I’m from NJ and he is one of the worst governor.
Vote for Biden no choice. Trump is worse
I always think of the people around him
This Democrat is very proud of you Chris Christie!
Wow, he says he hopes vivek and trump both die and the crowd applauds the statement, good grief, then goes on to claim moral high ground. Wow.
If I didn’t have to support Christie’s policies, I’d vote for him any day of the week.
Who cares about YOU ?!? About your responsibility???
Thank you, Governor
1:10:16 is the only worthwhile part of the conversation.
Why the word, 'still', in the title? When did the truth matter enough that we would hear calls for an honest economic system? IF we care about truth, we will demand that prices show environmental costs along with labor and capital costs. IF we account for externalities (charge fees to industries proportional to emissions, resource depletion or habitat destruction), we will promote sustainability. If proceeds from fees are shared equally to all people, the policy will be fair and the poor will be better-off. Fees will be high enough if random polls show that most people think that various kinds of impact on the environment are being held within acceptable limits. (THEN we will have good reason to claim that we live in a democracy.)
Christie actually has an audience?
Amazing…
I can tell you don't watch the last 10 minutes!
Ha ha the last 10 minutes thanks for the heads up
How can Chris Christie say he’s not going to vote for President Biden? You’re STILL helping traitor Don. How disappointing.
