Speaker 1: There is one Republican running for the nomination right now who's willing
to call out the obvious grift of MAGA cultists and others that has been perpetrated by Donald
Trump, by Jared Kushner, by all the people around Donald Trump.
And that one person is obviously Vivek.
No, I'm getting it's Chris Christie.
Okay.
Chris Christie is the one guy that is willing to say a number of different things that are
obvious, uncontroversial truths to anybody even remotely connected to reality.
But it's only Chris Christie who's willing to say it.
Here is Chris Christie on CNN last night saying, what the hell was Jared Kushner doing in the
Middle East?
What on earth is going on with these grift and all of these people monetizing their proximity
to power?
Trump himself, not a single other Republican candidate, is talking about these things.
Listen to this.
Speaker 2: Let's remember something.
He's a billionaire.
A self-professed billionaire.
Why can't he use his own money to pay his personal legal fees?
Speaker 1: Because he's cheap.
Speaker 2: And not use money coming from the public.
It's disgraceful and it's a continued grift.
And look, the Trump family has been involved in grifting for quite some time.
Yep.
He was doing this in terms of the people who got paid out of this PAC before, whether it
was Kimberly GUILFOYLE or other.
Speaker 1: That the Trump charity.
I mean, there's no there's no end to the grift.
Speaker 2: Members of the family.
Jared Kushner, six months after he leaves the White House, gets $2 billion from the
Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
Yet when.
Speaker 1: We haven't hear haven't heard Rhonda sanctimonious talking about.
Speaker 2: That, Trump had put him in a position to be in the Middle East.
What was Jared Kushner doing in the Middle East?
Speaker 1: Better late than never, folks.
Speaker 2: We had Rex Tillerson and Mike Pompeo as secretaries of state.
We need Jared Kushner.
He was put there to make those relationships and then he cashed in on those relationships
when he left the office.
So what Donald Trump's doing now is just a continuation of what he's permitted his family
to do.
Speaker 1: And to be clear, what Chris Christie's talking about is that Trump is now fundraising
for a legal defense fund for all of these different cases, for all these different indictments
that he's facing.
And Chris Christie is saying, why?
Why do you need to fundraise for that?
He's so rich.
Speaker 2: Over the entire course of his time as president.
Speaker 3: Why do you think he's not using his own money to pay for his legal team?
Speaker 2: Because he's the cheapest person I've ever met in my life.
That's why.
And what he's very good at, Caitlin, is spending other people's money.
Right.
And if you look at his history in New Jersey.
Speaker 3: You think he's misleading his voters, his supporters by.
Speaker 2: I think those supporters, you know, write a check to Trump for president.
They think they're paying for campaign expenses, not for personal legal expenses.
Now.
Speaker 1: In Trump's defense, I don't even know that it's a Trump defense.
There are cultists so deep in the cult that they are glad to pay for Trump's legal defense
because they believe that the indictments are political, that it's actually Joe Biden
doing it and all these different things.
So like I think Chris Christie is right that there are some Trump donors who think the
money is being used for the campaign.
There are some who know it's being used for the legal defense and are fine with that.
And there are those who are in this position where they believe that the legal defense
is kind of part of the campaign because the indictments are part of the campaign against
Trump, which is a crazy there's no evidence of that whatsoever.
Chris Christie was a defender of Trump for a long time.
And for that, he you know, I think he deserves to be criticized.
At least he is saying this stuff now.
And no other Republican running in that primary is willing to do it.
Here is Chris Christie.
Also, most of them won't talk about January 6th in these terms either, but even Mike Pence
won't talk about January 6th in these terms.
And they wanted to kill Pence.
But Chris Christie will talk about it.
Good for him.
Speaker 2: Four killed.
Speaker 3: Exactly as.
Speaker 2: Strong as two people were killed.
Caitlin, as you know, that day on Capitol Hill defending the Capitol, we had members
of Congress who were running for their lives.
We have people trying to hunt down the vice president, the United States.
CHENEY Hang Mike Pence.
Right.
And Donald Trump the entire time sat outside the Oval Office in that little dining room,
his eating a well-done cheeseburger and watching TV and doing nothing to stop what was going
on until it got to the point where even he could no longer stand it.
And he finally or for something in the afternoon, put out a video asking people to leave the
Capitol.
And Ron DeSantis doesn't have any opinion on that.
Look, I know, by the way, I'm pretty sure I know who that high school student was.
He goes to every town hall meeting in New Hampshire.
He's been to three of mine and he asks really tough questions.
And I said to him, the last time we had a town hall meeting, he was out of mind.
See if any of the candidates will answer your questions directly and grade them on it.
Speaker 1: They won't.
They won't.
So listen, again, we don't have to now rehabilitate Chris Christie into some hero.
It is a very useful thing to see a Republican drop some truth bombs on maggots or MAGA donations
or MAGA battalions.
I think that that is a good thing.
He, Chris Christie was complicit in the Trump nonsense for years.
He stood behind Trump and endorsed him in the entire thing.
And for that he deserves our criticism.
And now he is the only guy running in this primary who is willing to say some of these
things.
And so we can praise that.
Here's one more one more clip about the January six stuff.
Speaker 3: If he asked you that question, how would you answer it?
Speaker 2: I would say it was one of the most disgraceful days in American history and that
the president was principally responsible for it.
Speaker 1: Right.
One, not a single other Republican is willing to say that through.
Speaker 2: The conduct and his words from election night forward, inciting people and
insisting that the election was stolen when it wasn't.
Through his speech that day when he attacked directly his own vice president and incited
those people to be angry at Mike Pence, who was just performing his constitutional duty.
And he had no choice.
And every lawyer, good lawyer, had told people that that he couldn't do anything different
than that.
And then while the event was going on, while the riot was going on, on Capitol Hill, we
know that Donald Trump was watching it and was being urged by even members of his own
family to get out there and say something.
And he refused because he was enjoying watching people yell, scream and destroy things in
his name.
Speaker 1: This is all undeniably true, and Trump will never admit it and insists that
it's fake news.
Chris Christie holding steady at 2.5% in the Republican primary.
The only guy willing to tell these what should be uncontroversial truths.
And if I had to choose from the current Republican slate, who is the next president?
Without a doubt it would be Chris Christie.
