we're joined by chris christie, our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega, our chief washington from north dakota, heidi heitkamp and, chris, let me begin with you. we saw the president not shying away from the midterms even though a lot of democrats don't want to be campaigning with him this fall, and he's determined to make this election a choice, not a referendum. >> sure, if i were him, i would not want it to be a referendum either with people how they feel about crime in streets across the country, with parents really upset about what's going on across the board educationally and some of the positions democrats have taken if i were joe biden, i would want to run against donald trump again. what he knows is he beat donald trump two years ago and if he turns this into an election about him and donald trump, he's got a much better chance of doing less poorly. but there is no scenario under which joe biden does well in this election. he's going to lose the house of representatives. he's going to lose some governorships and the senate is up for grabs. if you're for him, this is

giuliani, who was re-elected as mayor of new york on the same day that you were elected in 1997, and chris christie, in some ways, your ideological successor in new jersey, both part this intellectually moderate republican tradition, were two of the first individuals to endorse donald trump leading into 2016. how do you reflect on that now? >> power. you know, they wanted to be near the seat of power. and i will say this for donald trump -- he's been really, really good at understanding how to wield power and how to connect with the american people. i mean, in fairness, congress had not been doing a whole lot in addressing the important issues that americans were facing -- inflation, all those issues that meant were you gonna have a roof over your head, that you have to make those decisions between your getting your medication or putting food on the table. and so they were mad, and they wanted a change. they wanted someone who was going to disrupt the system, and that's what donald trump played to. now, those of us whonew him as a -- from how he handled his business, how he treated people, we're pr

unlike former opponents of donald trump, like the new jersey governor chris christy, or the senators lindsey graham and ted cruz, who once denounced him and then turned to grovelling in before him and supporting his every word at every claim. cheney has been relentless in investigating and exposing trumps false words. what he did and failed to do on the day of the insurrection at other acts that she believes would undermine american democracy. and so her game i think, is a long one. she knows that she will lose tonight, but nevertheless, she said after voting that this battle will go on. and many people here believe that she has her site set on running for president, running for the republican nomination in 2024 as a kind of anti trust. now that she may not win, but she may seek to damage trump if he runs, or a trump supporting candidate, whoever that might be sufficiently so that they could not be elected in the general election. but again, going against trump, so vigorously as liz janie has done here, despite her initial popularity, the, the things that she has said and done, and d

chris christie told julie mason in an interview that the church -- search of trumps estate was " fair game." if the actual underpinnings that led to the fbi search checked out. senators tim scott, republican of south carolina, told cbs this morning that americans need to let the situation play out and see what happens, though he also said it would raise questions about political motivations or the fbi actions. scott's, running for reelection and frequently cited as a potential 2024 contender or trump vice president pick, drew criticism over comments and fumed over a more measured approach. on twitter, trump-pence said it could take it in -- taken him out of the running to be trump's vice president. the former president -- former vice president mike pence tweeting out i share the deep concern of millions of move americans over the unprecedented search of the personal residence of president trump. no former president of the united states has been subject to a raid in american history. douglas in san jose, california. hi, douglas. republican. caller: hello. first and foremost, since we d

that is a level of a gulfstream carrying chris christie. what happens?hen you crackdown on the rich, the returns diminished because they hire accountants and lawyers to fight it because along more of agents and lawyer in resources disappear on both sides. why do it? to appear fair. in politics, perception and deception is everything. it's important to soak the rich even if they aren't great or already soaked by inflation. >> can you understand how 87 ne irs agents would scare the heck out of americans? >> there's no reason to be fearful. a few bigger taxes and comply when our laws, usually want to make sure everybody else does that. >> now it show me the w-4 and i will show you the crime. it's not like our government ever targets the people it hates , right? if you're ever charged with a crime in your innocence, why should you worry, it's not like people ever get wrongly convicted. thank you. thank you. send your letters to me. so how does this help you? first, there is crime, inflation , your kids are in schools, gas prices are eating into your beer bud

officer that will decide which products to sell by tasting an average of 113 candies per day or as chris christie calls it, a diet. done inside the offices or remotely from your home. the sweetest part of all, you don't have to live in canada and the pay will be almost as high as your dental bill. according to the job postings on linked in, they'll be compensated with anti-seek story yule salary of -- an salary of $100,000. after my first three mtv contracts, i vowed to never fall for that trick again. i should have said $100 grand. would have been funnier. topic number two, now incredible video flooding in las vegas casinos after the city got more rain in one day than it usually does in an entire year. if you want to see rain in las vegas, just follow kevin hart to a strip club, yeah. this was the scene of a sports book in the sirca resort and casino. rain came pouring through television screens and i haven't seen such pour television since darma and greg. there was flooding through casino ceilings at cesar's palace and planet hollywood and made the $16 drinks more watered down. this is all the

ayo, he's like a midwestern chris christie. butter cow was a staple of the illinois state fair since the '20s and constructed by the state's dairy farmers as a way to celebrate their craft and cut loose. everybody cut loose and create a cow. dairy farmers like to get turnt up. in fact, some say you can smell the dairy air from miles away, especially when governor pritzker's in the building. after the fair is done, the butter will be scooped and you happen stored in buckets to be used next year. they dot same with corn dogs, nachos and fried oreos. topic three, a florida black bear climbing over a bashed wire fence and he did it with his bare hands. here's the incredible fence climbing bear. the only creature to take more barbs on this show than jeffrey tube. different kind of bear. happened at the air force base with 60,000 acres of un-inhabitedded land home to 5,000 black bears and not one of those useless losers can operate a rocket launcher and he's on the fence about staying with the air force and show him top gun maverick

roundtable joined by chris christie, yvette simpson, jon karl and julie pace. m kansas? >> i think this is what's going to happen across the country. george, people like me have been saying for decades that the states should make these calls, the states are now going to make these calls, i think that's why everybody who says, well, this means abortion is going to banned all over the country when the dobbs decision came down. the results are going to vary from state to state. results that don't seem consistent with the state's colors. in this case, kansas a very red state went in that direction. that's why i think a lot of the manufactured hysteria that some aspects of the democratic party went into is undercut by this result in kansas. people are going to make their own decisions. indiana did something very different. this is the way it's going to work across the country. >> manufactured hysteria? >> no. it shows this was an issue that people agree with and when we get on the ground and organize voters in a red state across the state in cities and rural areas an

bush, he was a member of the federalist society, he clerked for judge ludig and was chris christie's personal lawyer during the scandal. >> it was suggested to jake tapper yesterday that because immedi president biden hasn't fired chris ray that he's now a biden ally. does that make sense to you? >> it doesn't. and it goes against almost everything that we know about the history of the bureau. this is a century-year-old institution that actually still very much today feels the shadow of jay edgar hoover, who carved out a unique independent role for the bureau where it's part of. executive branch but doesn't really report or act on the president's wishes or desires on individual cases. and there's a proud tradition of presidents carrying on with the existing director when they take office. this is not a role like the cia director that does specifically change over as a new president comes to office. that ten-year term is meant specifically to isolate the fbi director from day-to-day presidential politics. >> the conservatism within the fbi that you're talking about, is it more the clas

it's like this is the one that -- you know, chris christie once said he told donald trump there is no way you can make an investigation shorter. but there are lots of ways you can make it longer. and it's like what he did in the mueller investigation, engaged in a whole volume in the mueller report when it did all the things he did to interrupt the investigation. and if you or i did that, we would be indicted. >> and that gets us to the final question. which is, people always quote the el capitan for tax evasion clichÉ all the time. the reason they were able to do that was it's black and white. they can show the money coming in. they can show the government. boom. this seems closer to black and white then many of the other things which seem morally, legally, profound. >> it's sort of -- like let's say you are u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, and you are conducting this merger rico investigation to mob families. and all the sudden you get a phone call from the and ypg, kennedy airport, saying hey, we just caught these people looting jewelry off a truck in a warehous

chris christie was one of those people, john kasich, rubio, all of them thought they understood what donald trump, which at the time they thought was a joke before they decided to be loyal to him now because of their political prospects. how does liz cheney avoid becoming a john kasich? >> they all held their fire until the very end. >> they tried to ignore him for a while. >> ted cruz wanted to be like the trump friend. they were well behind until they tried at that. two, liz cheney would just be one. they were all together. there was a big and crowded stage. and, three, donald trump has an extremely, shall we say, involved record at this point that, again, liz cheney is steeped in, she's appalled by and she speaks for a lot of people who have watched all this. >> the "new york times" had a poll a month ago, i've cited it a lot, that said republicans in the party, the voters, were looking for something different, half of them looking for someone different in 2024. the search of mar-a-lago, what we've seen in these primaries, does that change those numbers in your estimation or is th

[laughter] >> ensure there is begot chris christie, ted cruz, tim scott, it really the list goes on,is a long way to 2024 getting a bit crowded in the granite state they're knocking on the door trying to get you to help them. what do you make of this? have you talked to anybody about why they are coming to new hampshire? >> yes i talked to all of the candidates that want to come i will happily sit down with all of them. my focus is this, if we do not close the deal 2022 is republicans across this country, you don't close still and 22, 248 going to matter preventive focus on closing this deal crossing the finish line with good can it's winning back the senate very think were going get the house instead of the senate being guaranteed new hampshire could be the 51st vote now to think it's going to be. we've really got to make sure he close the deal for the other issue is how we campaign here's a little different for you got to look people in the eye the running joke in new hampshire is going to vote for president trump westrick out of i've only met him twice. you've got to built into gr

. >> we got chris christie, nikki haley, tim scott. it really, the list goes on. it's a long way to 2024 getting a bit crowded in the state. they're knocking on the door trying to get you to help them. what do you make of this? have you talked to anybody about why they're coming to new hampshire? >> oh, yeah. no, i talk to all the candidates who want to come, i'll happily sit down with all of them. here's the deal. if we don't close the deal in 2022,.24 ain't gonna matter. we have to start focusing on making sure we cross the finish line. winning back the senate. i think we're going to get the house. the senate, new hampshire should be that 51st vote now. i think it's going to be. we really got to make sure we close the deal. the other issue is, how we campaign here is a little different. you got to look people in the eye. the running joke in new hampshire is, hey, you gonna vote for president trump? i don't know. i have only met him twice. right? you have to be able to integrate with folks in their lives rooms and their businesses. if you do that, you can be succ

that's what chris christie is saying.blem is desantis knows the maga base isn't there, and he's not there and not willing it say that. as a result there's no choice but to stick to trump, and i think fox news has decided that. and i think the republican leadership has decided that, which is why they've decided to go so hard against the fbi and against traditional allies of law and orderer, traditional allies of the republican party. >> yeah, it's really striking. we've done a lot of the law and facts on this since the news broke. this is the first time we've gotten a little bit of view on the politics, which shouldn't matter over at the justice department, but everyone is keeping an eye on it individual who pleaded the fifth who got his home raided is on his way to becoming president again. thank you, sir. >> thank you, ari. >>> i mention pleading the fifth and we have a break down on that, why it is actually some ways really bad in a way trump doesn't realize that. and what happened in today's deposition. our deep dive o

and then you have chris christie, former trump ally, former governor of new jersey who said, yeah, i got concerns about it, but, you know, investigations are investigations, and specifically asked about the safe, he said, if you're doing an fbi warrant investigation, cracking the former president's safe is, quote fair game. so i think there are different levels and i think they suit each person's political interest. >> he gave the impression that he trusts the process here. i'm glad you point that out. these statements, these responses are not all created equal. chris, it is great to have you. thank you. >> you bet. if there is one thing i learned for the previous segment, don't get crosswise with pam brown, she will shut you down. >> she seems so nice, and she is, but you're right. don't get on the wrong side, chris. >> exactly. >>> rudy giuliani ordered to appear before a georgia grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election. we're going to speak to the state's republican lieutenant governor next. >>> meanwhile, a key report card on the economy, the july inflation

elizabeth: chris christie says if underpinnings are there. lindsey graham demand more information.t americans deserve immediate investigation. watch trump's attorney with jesse watters last night. >> i can tell you he was not only working with them. he was cooperating there was nothing to hide. he was working in tandem, allowed them to mar-a-lago. the point is when he went in when he wasn't even there and told his attorneys to leave. they couldn't even be on premise. that doesn't sound good to me. >> there is letter from kim jong-un, letter from president obama, is that what is their after,. >> this is nara search. national archives. we're not talking about jim jimmy hoffa did he take documents discussing if aliens existed. i'm concerned they may have planted something. at this point who knows. i don't trust the government. elizabeth: there is no indication of that yet. guy, your final word because this is, they're putting this, they're tightening the, you know, tightening what is going on around trump. they're really going after him right now. so what's the fallout? where do you s

there are some folks in the party, liz cheney most prominently, you have chris christie and various other figures who say they want to cut into his political coalition to stop him from running, to block him from becoming the nominee. there isn't any evidence that anyone has the capability of doing that because he has a great command of the political base, of the republican party. as marc said, it seems in some ways it's strengthened in some bit. i've talked to other advisers of candidates who would love to run and they would love to see donald trump fall out of being number one and they don't see it happening either. you have some figures in the republican party who think this -- these various investigations, all these problems may further hurt him but a lot -- i'm sure you've heard for years, people say, this is going to be the thing that takes him down, this is where it ends, this will be the one final thing and it never has been. there's concern about this doj investigation into his documents. i haven't seen in a long time in trump world. you also have j6 prosecutors subpoenaing a lot

chris christie once said he told donald trump that, there is no way you could make an investigation shorterhere's lots of ways you can make a longer. this is like when he did in the mueller investigation, he had a whole volume in the mueller report that talks about all the things he did to obstruct the investigation. and if you or i had done that, we have been indicted. >> right, that gets us to the final question which is, people have invoked the aisle component for tax evasion clichÉ all the time. the reason that they are able to do that is because of his black and white. they could show the money coming in, they could show it each of the government, boom. this seems closer to black and white and many of the other things, which to me seem morally and legally more profound. >> it's sort of like, let's see you are a u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york, and you're conducting this massive murder rico investigation into our mob timely. all of a sudden you got a phone call from the nypd at kennedy airport saying, hey, we just cut these guys loading jewelry alpha truck out of our

so to many to many people chris christie is known as governor abc abc news analyst national spokesperson and also new york times bestselling author. mary patrick christie also has the

presence in the republican primary would stunt trump, much the way that marco rubio was taken out by chris christierhaps, but in the general, does not help joe biden at all. >> sam stein, this is why many democratic strategists are saying, applause for you, liz cheney, standing up to donald trump, leading this fight against his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, but, please, do not run for president. >> well, let's start by stipulating that this is painfully early for 2024 conversation. >> you think? >> i hope. i hope. but i think i agree with all the analysis. it's hard to see how she could impact an election in the way she wants while running in that election. elise is absolutely right, her candidacy would draw support away from biden by getting never trumpers to vote for her, not him. i think the damage she could inflict, if that's what she wants to do, and all indications are that's what she wants to do, would be through the form of a primary bid. even that would be so long shot at this juncture. my suspicion is she knows this stuff. she is wise politically and understands how this works. s

pollster, it is interesting the number of candidates feeling their way around iowa, new hampshire, chris christie cheney, who are not on the same page as donald trump to put it mildly. what are their chances in this party at this time? >> there's a lot of uncertainty in the party at this time. donald trump seems to have a lead in the polls, it does seem he is getting more intense support despite everything that is happening, that said we are a long way from deciding who the republican candidate is going to be and we have no idea, thick back where we were in 2015, a year from the election, two years from the election, it was almost certain that jeb bush was going to be the candidate, june 15, 2015, there was an article that said five reasons jeb bush is the next president of the united states, donald trump hadn't even entered the campaign until the end of june so i think a lot of people are out there dipping their toes in the water trying to get a sense to see if they will get any support. anything and everything could happen at has happened, we've seen it before and will likely see it again. i do

look, when i learned to chris christie on abc this week, in september.it was almost a year ago. what happened there? same thing. he was offended. i said oh, you are riding with him. ari fleischer writes this column explaining why he is voting for donald trump. eric erickson, prominent conservative. none of these people have any room to all of the sudden now condemn what is happening. they chose to pick power over principle, over character and intense and that is the fundamental problem here. it is all they care about. and so why are they surrounded with him? because they want to maintain power. these people have no decency, they have no honor, and any republican that is willing to stand with donald trump and maga needs to lose in november and that is why democrats sitting out there watching had better stop playing around, hoping for oh my gosh i haven't done everything i wanted, because what the hell did these people plan to unleash on america. you have no idea, and we had better understand who they are targeting, black folks are the primary target and i

w correspondent christy plaza and chris. the good to see you're there. what sticking out to you at games. com? oh yeah, chris, we're really seeing this gender split that you just mentioned played out here in the crowds here in cologne. today we got a lot of men, a lot of women here. excited to be gathered together. i in person, which is pretty funny, considering the fact that gaming was one of the few industries to really boom. during the pandemic, people are happy to be here live on the ground. again, in the hall to my right here, we saw a big line of people wrapped around to, to task, to some of the new games coming out this year. for example, we have a sonic frontiers from saga. that line was too long for me to go through. i have to be here talking to you right now, but what did jump out to me is a, a large amount of simulation games with a hyper local focus. i tested out a game where i was a bus driver on the streets of hamburg. you could also be a cop on the streets of munich. these are games done in partnership with cities here in germany. so there

chris christie told julie mason in an interview that the church -- search of trumps estate was " fairame." if the actual underpinnings that led to the fbi search checked out. senators tim scott, republican of south carolina, told cbs this morning that americans need to let the situation play out and see what happens, though he also said it would raise questions about political motivations or the fbi actions. scott's, running for reelection and frequently cited as a potential 2024 contender or trump vice president pick, drew criticism over comments and fumed over a more measured approach. on twitter, trump-pence said it could take it in -- taken him out of the running to be trump's vice president. the former president -- former vice president mike pence tweeting out i share the deep concern of millions of move americans over the unprecedented search of the personal residence of president trump. no former president of the united states has been subject to a raid in american history. douglas in san jose, california. hi, douglas. republican. caller: hello. first and foremost, since we do

chris christie recommends president trump who ends up replacing the egomaniac james comey near the opportunity up but he seems to be spending a lot of protecting people. >> all americans want to do his people to trust our law enforcement. if there are people in the fbi picking and choosing what they investigate and cover up those individuals need to leave and they need to be fired. >> how much more do they need to know? this guy put it all on his laptop. his knowledge of being questioned. >> still had braking for a heat wave the northeast is expected to see record-breaking highs how your area could be impacted. >> speaker pelosi stirring down the korea. were going to talk about expert on the waves nancy pelosi is making and why the white house is furious with her. inflammation in your eye might be to blame. time for ache and burn! over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is ap

he made a mistake -- named chris christie. and paid a price for it.perience i met tons of people who i wouldn't met otherwise. people might make mistakes and you can't judge people by the worst decision they ever make. my father is an incredible mentor. he taught me a lot about business, a lot about life, and a lot of the lessons he taught me and some of the challenges i had helped me succeed ultimately in business before this and succeed in my time at the white house. >> steve: i love the fact that you said you and your dad would get up at 4:30 in the morning to train together for the new york city marathon. >> some days my dad was a volunteer firefighter, so sometimes he would be getting home from a fire at 4:30 and then join me. so it was quite an experience, but we loved the time together and he's my best friend and an incredible person. >> brian: looking at some of the things you were able to accomplish, the abraham accords, five separate trade deals. you are also able to manipulate a system that only gave $1.8 billion for the wall. you get money
