NOW BACK TO.
"WATTERS' WORLD."
[♪♪♪]
>> SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
>> GET THE HELL OFF THE BEACH.
IT'S 4:30, YOU MAXIMIZED YOUR
TAP.
GET OFF THE BEACH.
ON TOP I CAN.
NEXT QUESTION.
A THOUSAND THINGS I WILL DO
TONIGHT.
GOING TO DINNER WITH YOU IS
1,0001.
SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET OR GET
OUT.
WE ARE DONE WITH YOU.
JESSE: THAT'S THE CHRIS CHRISTIE
EVERYBODY REMEMBERS FROM BACK IN
THE DAY.
IN 201 HE RAN
IN 201 -E RAN
IN 201 -- RAN
IN 201 -- IAN
IN 201 -- INN
IN 201 -- IN 2016 HE RAN FOR
PRESIDENT.
NOW HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK WITH
HIS INSIGHT INTO THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY.
JESSE: I USED TO GET DRUNK WITH
MY FRIEND AND WATCH YOU ON
YouTube AS YOU WOULD LAY
PEOPLE OUT.
>> YOU ARE ENTERTAINING.
I LOVE YOUR SHOW.
JESSE: I ACTUALLY READ THIS
THING.
>> I WILL BE ABLE TO TELL RIGHT
AWAY.
JESSE: I SKIPPED THE NEW JERSEY
PART AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE
2016 CAMPAIGN.
YOU WENT AFTER MARCO RUBIO HARD.
A FAMOUS MOMENT OF THE CAMPAIGN
WAS WHEN YOU GOT HIM SO NUMBER -
WAS WHEN YOU GOT HIM SO NUMBER S
WAS WHEN YOU GOT HIM SO NUMBER O
FLUMMOXED HE WAS REPEAGHT
HIMSELF.
OBAMA KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S
DOING.
HE WANTS AMERICA TO BECOME MORE
LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THE
REST OF THE WORLD.
WE WANT TO BE THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
>> THAT'S WHAT WASHINGTON, D.C.
DOES.
THE DRIVE-BY SHOT AT THE
BEGINNING WITH INCORRECT AND
INCOMPLETE INFORMATION, THEN THE
MEMORIZED 25-SECOND SPEECH.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT DIVIDE THIS
NATION.
JESSE: THE CROWD LOVED IT AND HE
REPEATED THE SAME LINE THREE
MORE TIMES.
DO YOU GUYS TALK AFTER THAT.
YOU GUYS ARE FRIENDS?
>> YES.
WE ARE FINE.
AFTER MARCO HAD HIS DEBATE FOR
HIS SENATE SEAT THAT HE RAN FOR
REELECTION FOR.
HE SAID BY THE WAY, THANK YOU.
I SAID WHY?
HE SAID I DID GREAT IN MY DEBATE
LAST NIGHT AND ALL I WAS
THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO
ME IN FEBRUARY AND I WOULDN'T
LET ANYBODY DO THAT TO ME AGAIN.
MARCO UNWE WERE COMPETING -- WE
WERE COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER.
AND I DID WAY THOUGHT I NEEDED
TO DO.
JESSE: YOU GOT SOME BIG POLL
NUMBERS IN HAM ALREADY.
IN -- NUMBERS IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
THEN YOU ENDORSED DONALD TRUMP.
>> WE WANT TO FORT WORTH.
THE NIGHT HE WAS HAVING A DEBATE
IN HOUSTON.
I REMEMBER WE KEPT IT SO QUIET,
NO LEAKS.
WHEN WE WALKED INTO THAT ROOM
YOU ARE SHOWING ON THE AIR, A
REPORTER SAW ME WALK INTO THE
ROOM WITH TRUMP AND SAID, OH, MY
GOD.
BUT HERE IS WHAT I KNEW.
I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO BE THE
NOMINEE.
I ENDORSED HIM BEFORE ANYBODY.
HE WAS MY FRIEND AT THAT YOU
POINT FOR 15 YEARS.
PLUS I CAMPAIGNED AGAINST HIM.
MY JOB I THOUGHT WAS TO ENDORSE
HIM AND MAKE HIM THE BEST
CANDIDATE HE COULD BE BECAUSE WE
DID NOT WANT HILLARY CLINTON TO
BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
JESSE: THEN MOVING ON TO THE
FALL AND THE "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD"
TAPE DROPS.
>> I THINK WE WERE ALL STUNNED
AND WORRIED AND CONCERNED.
THE ONE THING I SAID TO THE THEN
CANDIDATE AT THE TIME WAS, IS IT
OVER?
I SAID NO, BECAUSE YOU ARE
RUNNING AGAINST THE SINGLE WORST
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN MY
LIFETIME.
HE WENT INTO THAT DEBATE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND DEALT WITH THE ISSUE,
AND HE REALLY PERFORMED WELL IN
THAT DEBATE.
THAT TURNED MOMENTUM AND NOW WE
HAVE DONALD TRUMP AS PRESIDENT.
JESSE: THERE IS CONTROVERSY
ABOUT YOU IN THE SECOND DEBATE.
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE CAMPAIGN
WHO SAID CHRIS CHRISTIE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FLY WITH THE JET
WITH THE TEAM TO GO WITH THE
TEAMEN YOU DECIDED THAT MORNING
NOT TO GO, AND PEOPLE THOUGHT
THAT WAS DISLOYAL.
>> THAT'S STEVE BANNON MAKING
STUFF UP.
SAYING EITHER YOU ARE ON THE
PLANE OR YOU ARE OFF THE TEAM.
I'D CALLED THAT MORNING AND
SAID, LISTEN.
I'M ONLY ELECTED OFFICIAL HERE.
YOU HAVEN'T YET ANSWERED THESE
QUESTIONS.
IF I GO THERE THEY WILL BE ALL
OR ME TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
THE SAME REASON I DIDN'T GO ON
SUNDAY MORNING SHOWS BEFORE THE
DEBATE.
THE PRESIDENT KNEW FULL WELL I
WASN'T GOING.
10 MINUTES IT WAS OVER.
HE SAID I WON THE DEBATE BECAUSE
OF YOU.
YOU ARE THE BEST DEBATE PREPARER
I HAVE EVER SEEN.
WILL YOU RUN THE DEBATE PREP FOR
DEBATE NUMBER THREE.
I WAS THERE AND ON ELECTION
TONIGHT I WAS IN HIS APARTMENT
WITH HE, MELANIA AND BARON AND
THE REST OF THE FAMILY WATCHING
ELECTION RESULTS.
IT WAS AN AMAZING NIGHT.
NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN WHEN THE EXIT POLLS CAME
IN SHOWING HILLARY CLINTON WAS
GOING TO WIN 350 ELECTORAL
VOTES.
DOWN THE STREET AT TRUMP TOWER
THERE WAS A LOT OF
CONSTERNATION.
HE WAS ONE VERY HAPPY MAN THAT
NIGHT.
JESSE: YOU WERE IN THE RUNNING
FOR I BELIEVE IT WAS ATTORNEY
GENERAL AND MAYBE ANOTHER
CABINET POSITION.
AND YOU WERE ALSO IN CHARGE OF
THE TRANSITION.
NOW CHRIS CHRISTIE IS WRITING
BOOKS AND HE'S NOT IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> I WAS IN THE RUNNING FOR VICE
PRESIDENT AND IT CAME DOWN TO ME
AND PIKE
AND -IKE
AND --KE
AND -- MIKE PENCE AND HE
SELECTED PENCE.
I WAS IN THE RUNNING FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
JESSE: IMAGINE IF CHRIS CHRISTIE
WAS A.G.
>> THERE WOULD BE NO BOB
MUELLER.
TWO DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION I
STARTED WRITING THE BOOK.
STEVE BANNON CALLED ME IN AND
FIRED ME AS HEAD OF THE
TRANSITION.
I SAID WHO'S DOING IS IT?
HE SAID IT'S THE KID.
HE HAS BEEN TAKING AN AX TO YOUR
HEAD EVER SINCE I GOT HERE.
ANCIENT BITTERNESS.
IT GOES BACK TO 2004 WHEN I
PROSECUTED JARED'S FATHER.
12 YEARS LATER, ONCE YOU KNEW
YOUR FATHER HAD COMMITTED THE
CRIMES AND YOUR FATHER PLED
GUILTY.
ADMITTED TO THE CRIMES, WHAT
ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO AS A
PROSECUTOR, TURN MY HEAD AND
WALK AWAY?
IN THE END, WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE
SERVING THE PRESIDENT.
AND THROWING SIX MONTHS OF
TRANSITION WORK OUT.
THE PRESIDENT IS STILL TRYING TO
RECOVER FROM THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT PICKED FOR
JOBS THAT HAD NO BUSINESS BEING
THERE AND SERVED THE PRESIDENT
