attorney, chris christie. after looking more closely at why kushner might have turned down the plum gig in order to not have to testify. chris christie discovered that not only did kushner funnel a suspicious amount of money to mcgreevey's campaign the way he had donated to certain campaigns was illegal. >> if you are corrupting our political system, this office will bring you to justice. >> charlie kushner violated fundamental principles of political giving. he would give money in the names of other people. if you are jim mcgreevey and you want money, this is a very beneficial practice because it wasn't just the money that he could give, but the money that he could mobilize on someone's behalf. that made him particularly attractive to people running for office. >> he also secretly used partnership funds for political contributions, and when his siblings, including brother murray kushner, found out that their money was being used to fund politicians without their consent, they started cooperating with chris ch

in pennsylvania. >> horrible, chris christie, that awful bridgegate scandal, wray w was the lawyer forwatch his testimony in front of congress any dime, he will not answer questions. he refuses to answer, how dare he say trump didn't get hit by a bullet or shrapnel. from heaven. >> teleprompters, were in tact, fbi director just throwing it out there, when you invade someone's home like wray invaded mar-a-lago, i think if you invade his home and he becomes president, you will not keep your job. larry: but for what purpose, they never had a case, wray doing bidding of merrick garland justice department, and one joseph biden, come on. for what purpose? did we go through all of this weaponizing and lawfare. >> that is why kash patel is coming in, he was victimized by that very same institution, he will run it, a pattern with trump cabinet, if you are a victim of a institution, guess what you get to run it and reform it, a beautiful thing. larry: beautiful. >> mark simon, all of president trump's nom's getting through. >> all of them, a smear campaign on pete hegseth, you can't find anythin

a guy named chris christie. >> it was so obvious he had to be prosecuted.a guy hires a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and videotapes it and sends a videotape to his sister to attend to intimidate her to testify before a grand jury, do i need any more justification? i mean, it's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes are prosecuted when i was u.s. attorney. >> you heard all of their right. if it was a lot to take in, let me lay it out. in 2003 when the federal grand jury investigation of kushner began, that grand jury got evidence from two key witnesses. kushner's sister and his sister's husband when he pled guilty, kushner acknowledged she arranged to have a prostitute seduce his brother- in-law in a motel room in new jersey where video cameras were installed. the plot succeeded in mr. kushner had a videotape of the encounter sent to his own sister. yeah, it's no wonder chris christie called it one of the most disgusting crimes he prosecuted. in trump's last days of president in 2020 he gave charles kushner a presidential pardon that was crit

well, that prosecutor is chris christie.charles kushner who is the father of donald trump's son-in-law jared kushner. come on, guys. who did you think i was talking about? i'm just kidding. there are two primary differences, though, between donald trump's pardon of charles kushner and what happened last night. president joe biden's pardon of his son hunter biden. the first. how much anger that trump and his allies are about one or the other. hunter biden will not at any point or certainly not in the next 12 months, wake up and be serving as america's ambassador to france. charles kushner, in all likelihood, will do just that. joining our conversation is harry lipman. claire is also here. harry lipman, your thoughts. >> is there a third big difference. no one will say that jared kushner was unfairly treated. christie said it was so disgusting he actually set up a sexual liaison to get at a political opponent. he got what the system generally provides. nobody that i've heard -- there is a lot of consternation of this pardon of

john can tell you a little about the chris christie persecution of charles kushner.me to say on television. chris christie prosecuted in new jersey so it's one of the most loathsome crimes he ever prosecuted. >> yet, he got the gig. tiffany's father-in-law is the middle east adviser and now we are looking at kash patel potentially headed the fbi. what does this tell you about trump's picks? i think right after he won, the people in his wall street universe saying he's about to pivot to the middle. it's about his legacy. we are not -- that's not where we are. >> anybody who believed that wasn't paying attention. what we are seeing as he keeps this over 10 window. for every kash patel there's a marco rubio. >> is there? there is one rubio over here. >> that is a fair point. all of a sudden you have your children's in-laws stock in your cabinet. this is the frog in the boiling pot of water. they haven't published an enemies list are talk about using the justice department to go after his political enemies. the father is in law look relatively benign. this is a caicos st

chris christie former governor. say they are flying over his house.nd he ripped into the administration for allowing the conspiracy theories to fill the space. listen to. this two mornings ago over my house at 6:15 in the morning saw them myself, so did my wife. so yeah, they are there i have been traveling around new jersey. i can't tell you the number of people tell me they're concerned. this is the first time i have noticed drones over my house. i was in a restaurant in monmouth county on friday night. people at the bar coming up to me and saying governor murphy won't tell me anything. the president went tell me anything. do you know? well, i don't know. but i will tell you this: i think this is what happens in our society now, george. because we are used to having things so rapidly, if you don't fill that vacuum then all the conspiracy theories. you can't have conspiracy theorists filling the space. will the administration has to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they are doing. >> steve: he is absolutely right. it took a long time be

we have not done a chris christie joke yet so i had to make sure i got that in there. register a drone if it is over half a pound and it is against the law for recreational drones to fly over private property. they say it is also against the law to install cameras in the women's change room at planet fitness. that has nothing to do with the story but legally i was asked us to say that. i have for the paperwork and i am willing to comply this time. >> tyrus: to piggyback off that, charly, or you concerns with drones having weight issues? >> i never even thought about it. >> tyrus: fat drones why and got -- flying around who is weighing them? >> i never thought much about drones except when i see them on like a while they still feel pretty new technology. i just do not know what to think about all of this. you have on one hand it is very sketchy. you have all of these drones flying all over new jersey and nobody knows what is going on. on the other hand i feel like we have a lot of momentum going on in america. good things. but coined it $100,000, daniel penny released t

chris christie was prosecutor in new jersey so this is one of the most loathsome crimes he ever prosecuted is a middle east advisor and now we are looking at kash patel as potentially head of the fbi. what does this tell you about donald trump's pics? as i think back to right after he won, all the people in kind of his wall street university and is about to pivot to the middle, this is about his legacy. we are not going -- that's not where we are. what is your take? >> anybody who believed that wasn't really paying attention. what we are seeing is it keeps opening the overton window. for every kash patel there's rubio . >> is there 2 there's a cash, there's a hegseth, and then there's just one rubio over here. >> that's a fair point. >> it's not a one to one ratio. >> not even a little bit because all of a sudden you got all your children's in-laws stalking your cabinet to ambassadorial posts. this is the numbing. this is the frog in the boiling pot of water were all of a sudden we're like, well, they haven't published an enemies list and are talking about actually using the justice depart

thank you very much. >> thanks, jon. >> jonathan: and let's bring in former new jersey governor, chris christie. governor christie, look. you know what it's like to be part of donald trump's inner circle. you were in the inner, inner circle 2016 through 2020, but i want to ask you about musk. he's practically moved into mar-a-lago, and my first question to you is, this is the wealthiest guy in the world. what is in it for him? why has he become so attached to trump? >> it's hard for folks to understand how intoxicating this can be for some people, but for elon musk, he doesn't stand in front of 20,000 people and have them chant his name. no matter how rich he is, which is what was happening to him on the campaign trail. >> jonathan: unless he's with trump. >> that's right. on a regular basis in front of trump's crowds and i'll tell you a quick story about donald trump himself in 2016, experiencing this for the first time. i was on the plane with him, and he would typically have this box of documents from trump tower from the real estate business that his body guy, keith, would bring to him once

this was chris christie back in 2019 talking about the nature of the crime that charles kushner committedn, if a guy hires a prostitute to seduce his brother in law and videotapes it and then sends the videotape to his sister to attempt to intimidate her from testifying before a grand jury, do i really need any more justification than that i mean, it's one of the most loathsome disgusting crimes that i prosecuted when i was u.s. >> attorney your incoming u.s. >> ambassador to france? >> yes he is, but i think the american voter that brought donald trump back into the white house is not paying attention to this kind of nuance. i remember traveling over the past year starting in january, to iowa ohio, kentucky wisconsin, talking to voters face to face, not just looking at polls and things and saying, why is it that you're voting for donald trump? and they said, because he's going to do things that are against tradition, but he'll just tell us he's doing it. meanwhile we've got currently we're talking about joe biden, who said all year, i'm not going to pardon my son. i'm not going to pardon

but like, as chris christie said, like the idea that this is is normal is is just patently on its face, not plausible. >> right. and you also don't want to dissuade people from reporting sightings because there are concerns and obviously there are drones or they wouldn't even be acknowledging that these are drones. in fact, drones are probably not all drones, but some of them are. and it would be nice to have some more credible answers coming from the administration or coming from state and local officials. so i, i don't know how much longer they have to keep dancing around what this is. >> yeah. mark preston jim himes, i think was one of the interesting ones to me because he's the, you know, ranking member on the intelligence community. let's listen to a little bit more of what he said about who this is or isn't. take a look it is not the iranians. >> it is not the chinese. they aren't martians. i know that's very unsatisfying for people who want a hollywood movie out of this. i can say that because i spent all my time as the ranking member of the intelligence committee, watching what

he's settling a lot of old scores in this case against chris christie, who at the time was the u.s.osecuted charles kushner and chris christie, of course, was summarily expelled from trump circles. and indeed ended up running against him. and working against him politically. i'm sure he would have loved to have been considered for the job, but instead, the person he sent to federal prison is going to apparently be on his way to paris. >> yeah, i think settling scores is exactly right. meanwhile, congress is coming back this week, and house speaker mike johnson, as you know, has said that he wants to get things done as quickly as possible. and he is going to have a really narrow majority to navigate but i do think clearly you know, this time around, washington is going to be very different than the washington of 2017. when trump first took office. how are you expecting republicans to exercise their power this time around? >> they're going to have to really be a lot more disciplined than what we saw in the last congress, meaning they're going to all have to pull together. they have no

and we have not done a chris christie joke yet. so i want to make sure i got that in there.said new jersey, that it's you have to register a drone if it's over half a pound. and it's against the law for recreational drones to fly over private property. they said it's also against the law to install cameras in the women's changing room at planet fitness. now that has nothing to do with the story. but legally, i was asked to say that i. i have read the paperwork and i am willing to comply this time. >> well, to piggyback off that, charlie, are you concerned with drones having weight issues? >> i've never even thought about it. >> we got fat drones flying around who's weighing them? >> i've never thought i don't even know much about drones, except that, like, when i see them, i'm like, oh, wow, that's super cool. i mean, they're still very i feel like pretty new technology. i just don't know what to think about all this because you have on one hand, like, it's very sketchy, right? you just have all these drones flying, all over new jersey and no one knows what's going on. but o

kushner, why he would want to drag all this up i used to work for chris christie. >> what did you make of what he said about that he certainly has an opinion on it. >> he was obviously personally involved in the prosecution of mr. kushner. um, and only new jersey politics have a story like that i think this is certainly he's entitled to his opinion, and he may not be wrong but, you know, this is this is his daughter's father in law. i mean, it could be as simple as that. as simple as that ambassadorships, you know, these are these are plum positions. these go to donors and friends and allies. um and maybe father in laws. i think it could be as simple as that bill stepien, bakari sellers, great to have you both here thank you up next tonight, my source is one of trump's former personal attorneys and a former prosecutor at the justice department. >> what he thinks about fbi background checks and the final sign on today by the trump team also there are growing calls tonight for south korea's president to resign after he plunged his nation into absolute chaos today by declaring and then re

he was appointed by donald trump but it was chris christie's idea and he ran against president trumptroyed his own political career, christie. christopher wray, bad guy and he was the one that questioned whether trump got hit by a pull et in a field in pennsylvania. remember that? >> horrible, chris thristy and the horrible bridge scandal and ray was the scannal going for them and tram didn't get hit by a bullet and just shrapnel. like trump said the other day on meet the press, shrapnel from what? >> fbi director throwing that out and and raid somebody's home and wray invaded mar-a-lago and invade the guy's home and he becomes president, you're not keeping your job. larry: for what purpose? they never had a case and wray was doing the bidding of merrick garland's justice department and doing the bidding of one joseph biden. come on. for what pump? >> yes and that's why kash patel is coming in so he can re-for the purpose the institution. it's a beautiful thing. larry: yes, it is a beautiful thing. mark simon, all of president trump's nominations getting through? the cabinet nominati

a guy named chris christie. >> it was so obvious he had to be prosecuted.s it then sends the video tape to his sister to attempt to intimidate her from testifying before a grand jury, do i really need any more justification than that. it's one of the most disgusting crimes i prosecuted when i was district attorney. >> yes, that's what he just said. when the investigation of kushner began, they got evidence from kushner's sister and his sisters husband. when he pled guilty, kushner acknowledged he testified that he hired a prostitute and set up a camera in a hotel room. he sent the tape to his sister. now trump wants the elder kushner to be the ambassador in paris. the top diplomat to one of america's oldest nuclear armed allies. the ambassador to a country where by the way, they have the internet and google and certainly know all about charles kushner's past. it would be bigger news if not for the avalanche of alarming supports surrounding trump's other nominees. kushner isn't the only president inlaw to get a job. on sunday, trump announced he is calling f

kushner is going to be an ambassador to france, a very cushy job, someone who has pardon for what chris christieo prosecuted him, called one of the most loathsome and disgusting crimes. the guy videotaped -- anyway, the juxtaposition -- >> charlie: he served time, right? >> judge jeanine: he did paid he paid his debt to society. that's the end of it. >> dana: the nbc news report, jessica, says -- this is nbc news saying that biden was saying publicly, of course i'm not going to pardon him, but then privately having conversations saying of course it's on the table. this is why no one believed them anyway. now all the lies -- i had the four lies, i'm going to add the fish fly. >> jessica: i don't disagree with that. he should have always said, "maybe, i don't know. i have to see where the chips fall on this." but one of the messages that came out of the election was voters don't think donald trump is a threat to democracy, they don't care about norms or any of the things democrats were campaigning on. and i think joe biden just essentially said, on my way out, i don't care anymore and i'm just goi

a chris christie guy. tonight trump has apparently announced his intention to fire chris wray, even though chris wray's term is not done until january 20th. what do you make of what is happening here? >> right, this is a saturday night announcement, i think that is an understatement. you are looking at chris wray, who was donald trump's own selection back in 2017, serves that 10 year term. we reported just earlier this month that chris wray was anticipating either being forced out through firing or resigning with the expectation that he would be fired by donald trump upon him taking office this january. and now, tonight, even before donald trump has publicly indicated whether he will fire chris wray or not, you can say preemptively made the announcement that he intends to install kash patel as the fbi director. let's be very clear. this is a staggering announcement, because of the political nature in which kash patel has aligned himself with donald trump over the years. he has pledged to go after the indivi

as much as i like governor chris christie, i think is wrong.onths and they get sick so hearing from you. that's true of people -- talking to them about different ways to move our country forward in a way that may be only he knows how. because of what he did and what he accomplished between chips and brains and star link in spacex between tesla. and he's got this other company that drills tunnels underneath the ground to get you places quicker. that's a guy i went next to me. >> this is what they did during her first term trying to divide the president from his team by putting on these ridiculous stories out there. trying to be the president. who is leaking and doing this and that and the other against the president. he likes to surround himself with people who will push back a little bit, respectfully and differentially. when he says what's going on, he wants to know what's going on. the oval office is the biggest hermetically sealed office in the world. one of many advisors the bible says wisdom in the multitude of counselors. >> that is what

and former new jersey governor chris christie said that if the federal government doesn't start handinger more information, people will start taking matters into their own hands. >> the states do not have enough authority to do what they need to do, and what we're going to find, george, is you're going to have individuals acting as drone vigilantes, and they're going to start taking them down. >> reporter: the drone sightings are now happening across the entire northeast and in some cases as far away as california. sometimes they're over densely-populated areas, other times over sensitive military sites. a suburban new york airport was temporarily shut up down friday night due to krone activity. new york governor kathy hochul announcinged that feds are deploying a state of the art drone detection system to new york after she made a fiery demand if yesterday for more resources. there is bipartisan concern and outrage about these mysterious sightings. a top house democrat saying on fox news sunday that the federal response so far is, quote, not good enough. >> just putting information out

this is donald trump's own appointee, recommended by chris christie, his ally at the time, and, so youw, when trump comes in and says he's going to get rid of chris wray, he explains very transparently why because he's mad at wray for coming after him as he sees it, right, invading my home. let's be honest, the facts will remind us that's a search warrant approved by a judge. in order to achieve classified documents that donald trump was not entitled to have and guess what, they found him there. the search was a successful search for a good cause. that doesn't matter to trump. he frames that as part of the persecution and witch hunt, and blamed it on chris wray, his own former appointee. >> that was after months, six months, really, of the archives, asking him to turn back what they believe was there. and when the fbi finally went, they only served that warrant after he had been warned to turn everything over, and they realized that he hadn't yet. they found even more, and they also have video of some of his aides, his, you know, former white house butler and valet helping to move thin

>> good morning, that's exactly what new jersey governor chris christie talked about this weekend hes been a most month the chances increase that people will take matters into their own hands which of course could be dangerous, the federal government is sending drone to action technology to new york and new jersey but the fbi, white house dhs say there's no evidence to suggest there is a public safety threat while congressman mark green said last hour we don't know enough to say that. >> we know it's not dod. if they were flying test drones or some agency of the federal government they would own it but the fact that they're saying there's no evidence means they have no knowledge, they don't know what this is. >> there's been drone sightings in seven states on the east and west coast. military and critical infrastructure are a top priority. over the weekend the patterson air force base near dayton, ohio shut down the airspace for hours telling fox news small unmanned aerial systems were spotted in the facility over patterson air force base between 13th and 14th of december that is fri

here is what chris christie said about charles kushner in 2019. >> it was so obvious he had to be prosecutedmean, if a guy hires a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and videotapes it and then sends the videotape to his sister to attempt to intimidate her from testifying in front of a grand jury, do i need any more justification than that? it's one of the most ghosts of disgusting crimes i prosecuted when i was u.s. attorney. >> of course, this position also requires senate confirmation. what do you think is happening here? >> i think donald trump is paying the kushners back. i will remind viewers, this is the ambassador of the united states. not the ambassador of donald trump. the representation of our country to france. but, look, it harkens back to me the $2 billion payout jared kushner got for his private equity fund or specialty finance fund from saudi after donald trump did everything favorable for the saudis, as did jared himself. it's notable jared and ivanka have a role. payback can be different. in this case the payback to the kushners is pretty clear. >> don, it is not just a

and trump responded by ultimately selecting chris wray, a guy who had the backing of chris christie ,t, someone who is totally fine for all of the republican party. this go-round he is not going on that road map. he is obviously going with the most loyal person he could possibly have. what do you think that says about the trump presidency 2.0? >> one thing that i think is really clear, first of all, he believes he has a mandate. he won by a small margin, but for him, he thinks this is, you know, an absolute license to rule at will. the other thing i think is that he feels very strongly that he can just push this republican senate around. that there is nobody left in the republican. and he may be right, but he feels that there is nobody left among senior elected republican officials who is going to dare to stop him. i hope he is wrong about that. and i am hoping that he is finally, i think with matt gaetz he went too far, and it was clear it was not going to happen. and i hope now, again, people in the republican party and in the senate, especially, are going to remember that they are

. >> former new jersey governor chris christie said over the weekend the biden administration needs to start providing answers or pretty soon we could see new jersey residents take things into their own hands and start shooting these drones down and we heard from president-elect donald trump on friday putting some pressure on the biden administration essentially saying the same thing. either give answers or start shooting these things down, harris. >> harris: you mentioned that nuclear facility in new jersey. are there any extra precautions they're taking at that particular location? >> we have not heard from any officials taking any specific actions regarding that nuclear power plant facility in salem county. however, the f.b.i. has received over 5,000 tips as far as this investigation. they're taking the trips credibly. >> harris: if they thought there was evidence of anything that could hurt us, would they even tell us at this point? i don't know. so nate foye, thank you very much. fox news contributor, former special operations intelligence analyst and drone expert, all right. let'

in new jersey, former governor chris christie says he's even seen drones hovering over his home. >> here in new jersey. resident. >> have you seen any drones? >> yeah. >> two mornings ago, over my house at 615 in the morning. i saw them myself. so did my wife. and so, yeah, they're there. and i've been traveling around new jersey as i normally do all week. and i can't tell you the number of people have come up to me concerned about it. >> massachusetts is one of the states reporting a growing number of drone sightings, and one such incident happened over the weekend near boston's international airport. cnn's gloria pazmino has more on these sightings, which are keeping so many people on edge well, first, let's start with boston, because the police department there tells us they arrested two people who were found to be flying drones dangerously close to the airspace over logan international airport. >> now we are still waiting to hear more about what was behind these arrests. but what we do know so far is that an officer spotted the drones and then was able to deploy drone detection techn

deep blue state for as long as i have lived there for the most part with the interception of chris christiearly voting action.com, we believe that victory bee gets victory. we just had a slam dunk for the republican party. we have a trifecta. we delivered the white house. senate, house, and, look, for all intents and purposes, one onefourth of pennsylvania's borr joins with new jersey there are a lot of shared values. one thing that we are going to be doing, steve, from the spring and summer, all in 2025 is going to wildwood. that's where philly goes to the beach. let's register voters and get both new jersey and pennsylvania. >> steve: you know, the current governor, phil murphy, who is a democrat, when he ran for re-election in 2021, jack chit raleigh, the republican just, he only lost by 3.2%. in this deep blue state, the democrat almost lost and it was the same year that governor youngkin down in virginia was able to make some hay. new jersey has really high taxes. and a lot of people -- i live in new jersey. nobody really likes that. so, if you can make some headway there, that's proba

got overshadowed by everything else that happened at the end of charles kushner put in jail by chris christie. >> yes the prosecutor just real quick, jill biden, the first lady of the united states, was just asked about this. she said she, of course supports her husband pardoning their son you know, i was thinking as i was looking at the pictures of them over the weekend in nantucket they had just come from this annual pilgrimage to a place that is very special to their family. obviously, joe biden and hunter biden spent a lot of time together. it was a place that they spent with beau, who passed away, and you just have to imagine that that time together as president biden is almost walking out the door of the white house. he has this power he sees and by all accounts, he he joe biden has been very, very upset and affected by what has happened with his son i'm sure that that moment that that set of moments had an impact. >> there's no doubt about it. i mean, and, uh doctor biden was sitting in the front row for one of these trials. she went every single day. she flew back from a trip overseas

days, the president elect has posted on his website truth social, an ai generated image mocking chris christiee former governor of new jersey, for his weight. an article in support of people arrested in connection with january 6th. after six weeks of staying largely out of sight, mr. trump has been busy showing people that washington is what has changed, not the incoming president. >> well, it also illustrates that people have learned about trump since 2016. they've learned that the personal obsequiousness is so important to getting him to hear you out, listen to you, potentially advocate for what you want from a policy perspective. so elliot's right that this is a unfortunately, a kind of, broadly speaking, a long standing tradition in politics and one that i think does, i agree, does turn people off. but the the personal nature of this and the big public display of going to mar a lago to kiss the ring, that is a pretty literal pilgrimage. yes, that is a pretty trumpy. that's a pretty trumpy phenomenon. and it i will i will, you know, give him his due. i agree that it illustrates he's bent wa

chris christie, the u.s. attorney for new jersey at the time, called kushner's offenses, quote, one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that i ever prosecuted. you can look up why prostitution is part of it. and now kushner is about to be named trump's ambassador to france. paula reid is out front even as president biden publicly declared he wouldn't pardon his son. >> i said i abide by the jury decision and i will do that, and i will not pardon him sources tell cnn that people in the west wing and those close to hunter biden believed a pardon was always coming. >> will you testify in june hunter became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. the jury has found hunter biden, the president's son guilty on all three counts in this case, after three hours of deliberation. >> good morning. >> after that historic conviction on gun charges he faced another federal case in los angeles on tax charges. but just hours before the trial was set to begin, he entered a surprise guilty plea o

success will spread like butter on chris christie's big mac. hey, it's okay, he's a friend. and it's not just me saying all this trump's critics are coming around to. here's cnn van jones admitting reality. roll it hans. >> guys, can we cut it out? donald trump is not an idiot. donald trump, let me just be very clear. donald trump is smarter than me. you and all critics. you know why we know. because he has the white house, the senate, the house. >> totally agree. >> the popular vote. this dude is a phenomenon. he is the most powerful human on earth and in our lifetime. and we're still saying, well, how was this guy? we look like idiots to ordinary people because he is totally right. >> you're you're totally right. i'm so pro. well, to quote the greatest christmas movie of all time, die hard. welcome to the party, pal. hashtag. nuff said. let's welcome tonight's guest. she combines my favorite president with my favorite dance reality tv star and lawyer, reagan charleston. he tells jokes for the love of comedy, but also will accept food. founder of studio test.com, michael lo

and this is what chris christie, who was the u.s. attorney in new jersey at the time actually prosecuted. charles kushner, said about kushner's crimes i mean, if a guy hires a prostitute to seduce his brother in law and videotapes it and then sends the videotape to his sister to attempt to intimidate her from testifying before a grand jury, do i really need any more justification than that i mean, it's one of the most loathsome disgusting crimes that i prosecuted when i was u.s. >> attorney you know senate republicans are going to have to play triage though, on who they're going to confirm or not. >> and i think kushner will have no problem at all getting confirmed as ambassador to france there's kind of a tradition there. >> but senate republicans will have to decide, do they want to go after tulsi gabbard or do they want to go after uh hegseth? hegseth? i mean, there's an array of of nominees that they find controversial. they're not going to go after all of them. they may not even go after one of them. they have no history of stan

chris christie would. no. >> i frankly think that any time you can get a majority of americans saying they approve of anything these days, that's pretty good. and so for me, i look at it, maybe i'm just looking at this glass half full, but like, i think 55% is pretty good considering how divided this country is. donald trump's favorability numbers are not that high. there is still a slice of america out there going, i don't like this guy, but i actually think he's exceeding expectations. i think the thing that's going to be fascinating over the next few months for him is that if these expectations are very high, oh, i think he's going to do good on the economy. i think he's going to really shape up government. he's got to deliver on that. and if you do things like on trade, you put into place tariffs. if that makes the cost of living go up, i don't know. and so he's got very high expectations. america is saying hey we elected you go for it. but he does have to deliver in some ways. >> he already seems to b
