>> Stephen: OKAY. HEY, EVERYBODY.
WELCOME BACK. WE'RE TALKING TO DPV CHRIS CHRISTIE.
GOVERNOR, WHEN LAST WE WERE TOGETHER, WE WERE DISAGREEING
OVER WHETHER DONALD TRUMP WOULD ACTUALLY EMBODY THE PRINCIPLES
OF REPUBLICAN GOV GOVERNANCE YOU SEEM TO ESPOUSE.
TELL ME WHAT'S SO TERRIFYING ABOUT JOE BIDEN.
TERRIFYING ABOUT JOE BIDEN IS A HARD SENTENCE TO SELL, IT'S JOE
BIDEN, FOR PETE'S SAKE.
>> LET ME START OFF BY SAYING I'VE KNOWN JOE BIDEN FOR 35
YEARS AND I LIKE HIM, SO I'M NOT TERRIFIED BY THE PERSON JOE
BIDEN, BUT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS MOVED SO FAR TO THE LEFT,
STEPHEN -- >> Stephen: SO FAR TO THE LEFT
THAT THEY NOMINATED JOE BIDEN?
THERE WERE PEOPLE FURTHER TO THE LEFT THAN JOE BIDEN LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.
>> NOW JOE BIDEN HAS SIGNED ON WITH THOSE LEFT WING PRINCIPLES
TO BE ABLE TO GET THE NOMINATION.
>> Stephen: MAYBE.
AND, SO, I UNDERSTAND HE WANTED TO WIN THE NOMINATION AND
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU DO THAT TO TRY TO WIN THE NOMINATION, BUT I
THINK THE PARTY HAS MOVED MUCH TOO FAR LEFT FOR ME, STEPHEN,
AND WHAT TERRIFIES ME IS NOT JOE BIDEN HIMSELF BUT JOE BIDEN IN
COMBINATION WITH A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE AND A DEMOCRATIC SENATE
THAT I THINK COULD REALLY HURT THE COUNTRY'S ECONOMY AND HURT
THE COUNTRY'S APPROACH TO THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS HERE.
>> Stephen: HE'S REJECTED MEDICARE FOR ALL, HE'S ADOPTING
PARTS TO TO H OF THE GREEN NEWT WON'T EMBRACE IT.
BE MORE SPECIFIC ON HOW JOE BIDEN WILL CHOP DOWN THE TREE OF
OUR ECONOMY.
>> A $4 TRILLION TAX INCREASE IS A PROBLEM, INCREASED REVENUE
STATE THAT COST AS LOT OF MONEY AND WILL BE INJURIOUS TO OUR
ABILITY TO CREATE JOBS, AND I DON'T BELIEVE HIM ON THE GREEN
NEW DEAL.
I BELIEVE HIM ON MEDICAID FOR ALL BUT NOT THE GREEN NEW DEAL.
I THINK HE WILL BE ESPECIALLY WITH A DEMOCRATICHOUSE AND
SENATE THAT GREEN NEW DEAL WILL BE SHOVED ON HIM AND EVENTUALLY
HE WILL SIGN IT.
>> Stephen: THE LAST THREE YEARS OF THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION THE ECONOMY GREW FAST THAN THE FIRST THREE YEARS
OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
YOU KNOW THAT.
>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS, THOUGH.
OBAMA WAS NOT PROPOSING SOME OF THE THINGS BEING PROPOSED NOW.
WHAT'S BEING PROPOSE NOW IS TO THE LEFT OF WHERE BARACK OBAMA
WAS AND TO THE LEFT OF WHERE BARACK OBAMA WAS WILLING TO GO,
STEPHEN.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS NOT BARACK OBAMA'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
>> Stephen: DOES IT BOTHER YOU THAT TRUMP LIES ABOUT THINGS
LIKE I'LL PROTECT COVERAGE FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS WHILE AT
THE SAME TIME THEY'RE IN COURT TRYING TO TAKE THAT AWAY.
IS THAT OFFPUTTING TO YOU AT ALL, CONSIDERING AT THE HEART OF
IT IS TAKING AWAY HEALTHCARE FROM PEOPLE.
>> SEPARATE TWO THINGS.
THEY'RE IN COURT FIGHTING AGAINST OKLAHOMA.
ObamaCare.>> Stephen: INCLUDING PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.
>> THEY SAID IF THEY WOULD WIN THEY WOULD PASS A STAND ALONE
BILL PROTECTING PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.
>> Stephen: THAT IDEA HAS NOTHING BEHIND IT.
>> THERE CONTINUES TO BE A FIGHT OVER ObamaCare AND UNTIL THE
FIGHT IS RESOLVED, YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO PUT IN A SEPARATE BILL
ON PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS BECAUSE IT'S COVERED UNDER
ObamaCare.
THE ONLY REASON YOU WOULD NEED TO DO THAT IS IF YOU GOT RID OF
ObamaCare.
AND I THINK IF THEY DID, I THINK THAT'S UNLIKELY GIVEN PREVIOUS
SUPREME COURT HEARINGS, BUT IF THEY DID I BELIEVE THE
REPUBLICANS WOULD PASS A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION BILL.
>> Stephen: GOVERNOR, I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN
SOMETIME, BUT I DO NEED TO MAKE ONE LAST PITCH, ONE LAST
PITCH -- PLEASE DON'T HELP THIS MAN GET REELECTED.
>> WILL THAT AFFECT MY APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW?
>> Stephen: WE'LL SEE.
IF I FIND OUT YOU GOT THAT MAN ELECTED YOU WILL BE ON THE
BUBBLE.
>> I'M THE ONLY REPUBLICAN THAT WILL COME ON YOUR SHOW!
>> Stephen: TREY GOWDY WAS ON THIS WEEK!
>> TREY GOWDY ISN'T LIKE ME.
YOU DON'T HAVE FUN WITH TREY GOWDY.
I SAW THAT.
THAT WASN'T FUN.
YOU AND I HAVE FUN TOGETHER.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE OVERESTIMATING WHAT I THINK FUN
IS.
>> I THINK WHEN URP DRINKING TEQUILA A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT
WAS FUN.
>> Stephen: I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO HELP TRUMP GET
REELECTED BACK THEN.
GOT TO GO.
GOT TO GO PLEASANTLY TALK ABOUT STEVE BANNON BEING ARRESTED.
GOT TO GO.
CHRIS CHRISTIE, FRIEND OF STEVEN'S EVERYBODY.
COME BACK FOR THE SMILE FILE.
WILL YOU VISIT STEVE?
PRISON?
>> I WOULDN'T VISIT STEVE IF HE LIVED NEXT DOOR TO ME, HE'S A BUM
