Christie: 'Someone's lying' in Hunter Biden probe

NOTHING TO SEE HERE. THE PRESIDENT JUST LOV HIS SON. STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. HERE IS CHRIS, THE 2024 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AND JOINS US NOW ON SET. THANKS FOR MAKING TIME WITH US. >> MY PLEASURE. >> THIS LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC RICO CASE. WHY IS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME GETTING AHEAD OF THIS AND IT'S LEFT TO A POLITICAL ARM AS FAR AS THE REPUBLICANS

TO DO THIS. >> WELL LOOK. I DID THIS FOR 7 YEARS, I WAS U.S. ATTORNEY IN NEW JERSEY ONING THE FIFTH LARGEST COUNTRY DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION THERE. IS NO WAY THAT GETTING TWO MISDEMEANOR TAX PLEAS AND DISMISSING A GUN CHARGE TAKE 5 YEARS. THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY THE PEOPLE TRYING TO INVESTIGATE OTHER STUFF THAT WE'VE HEARD ABOUT FROM HUNTER'S LAPTOP TO THESE WHAT'S APP MESSAGES, BURISMA

AND INTERACTION WITH FOREIGN ENTITIES AND LOOK. WE'VE GOT TO PROSECUTE CASES LIKE. THIS WE HAVE TO ALLOW THE INVESTIGATORS TO INVESTIGATE. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE WHISTLEBLOWER SPEAKING TO BRET BAER THAT LOOKS LIKE AGENTS I WORKED WITH FROM THE IRS AND OTHER AGENCIES WHO WANT TO DO THEIR JOB. THEY DON'T CARE WHERE IT LEADS. THEY JUST WANT IT TO END AND I THINK WHAT IS GOING

ON HERE IS HUNTER BIDEN WAS CHARGED. THIS DEAL DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT. WE ARE NOT HEARING ABOUT ALL THESE FACTS COMING OUT. >> THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL" GOVERNOR ELAINE O'CONNOR WHO USED TO BE THE TAX ATTORNEY SAID THE JUDGE SHOULD REJECT THIS DEAL. DO YOU THINK THAT SHOULD HAPPEN? >> I THINK THE JUDGE SHOULD SAY EVERYBODY GO BACK TO YOUR CORNER SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE

BECAUSE MR. WEISS THE U.S. ATTORNEY WHO WAS APPOINTED BY DONALD TRUMP YOU WOULD THINK THAT HE WAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS BUT WE ARE HEARING HE WAS STOPPED FROM GOING AFTER THINGS IN CALIFORNIA AND IN WASHINGTON, D.C. SO CONGRESS HAS TO DO OVERSIGHT ON. THIS THERE MAY HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL COUNSEL LAWRENCE TO LOOK AT THIS, BECAUSE RIGHT

NOW YOU GOT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYING, WEISS HAD ALL THE AUTHORITY AND YOU HAVE THE WHISTLEBLOWER SAYING THAT WEISS TOLD THEM THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY. >> YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME. YOU USED TO BE A U.S. ATTORNEY, YOU WERE A GOVERNOR, A LEADING CONTENDER FOR PERHAPS TO BE ATTORNEY GENERAL ONE DAY. THIS GUY WAS ALMOST ON THE SUPREME COURT, DO YOU BELIEVE

MERRICK GARLAND HERE AFTERWARD HEARING FROM THESE WHISTLEBLOWERS AND LOOKING AT THE DEAL THAT WAS PRESENTED OUT FOR US TO SEE? DO YOU BELIEVE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT HE DIDN'T GET INVOLVED. >> LIKE MAMA JONES SAID SOMEONE IS LYING EITHER MERRICK GARLAND OR MR. WEISS BUT THEY CAN'T BOTH BE TELLING THE TRUTH. MERRICK GARLAND I SAW ON TV THE OTHER NIGHT SAYING HE HAD THE AUTHORITY TO

DO WHATEVER HE WANTED. WHISTLEBLOWERS SAYING WEISS TOLD THEM HE DIDN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTED REGARDING HUNTER BIDEN. SOMEONE IS LYING. WE NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. THIS IS WHY I'M RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HAVE THIS APPEARANCE AS A PROSECUTOR, WE NEED TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO IS NO NONSENSE WHO WILL INVESTIGATE PROSECUTE WITHOUT FEAR FAVOR OR PARTISANSHIP. THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE NEED TO BELIEVE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND WITH THIS THEY'RE NOT. >> I WANT TO TURN TO THIS BECAUSE JOE BIDEN WITH THE NEW TERM BIDEN ECONOMY THE PLAN THAT'S GOING TO RESTORE. >> BIDENNOMICS IS BUILDING ECONOMY MIDDLE OUT BOTTOM OUT. IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM. I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THE NAME. I REALLY DIDN'T. I NOW CLAIM IT.

>> HALF THE COUNTRY SAID WE ARE WORSE OFF UNDER JOE BIDEN. IS THIS GOING TO GET TRACTION FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? >> NO, BECAUSE WHAT BIDEN NOMICS IS RECORD I NATION. IT'S HAVING PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS, HAVE TO DO MULTIPLE JOBS TO MAKE UP FOR THE MONEY THEY'RE LOSING IN INFLATION, HIGH GAS PRICES, HIGH HOME HEATING PRICES, HIGH LET TRIST PEOPLE. AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW IT BECAUSE

THEY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF THEIR POCK TOTES PUT UP WITH IN THE JOB SPENT US BLIND AS PRESIDENT, ALL KIND OF MONEY PRINTED AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL IT EVERY DAY. >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR RACE, LATEST FOX POLL HAS DONALD TRUMP PLUS 34RKS DESANTIS 32,YOU HAVE 1 PERCENT IN THIS FOX NEWS POLL. YOU SUPPORTED THE FORMER PRESIDENT TWICE. YOU HELPED WITH HIS

DEBATE PREP. SOME OF YOUR CRITICS HAVE SAID YOU'RE THE GUY THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ASSASSIN TO TAKE HIM OUT ON THE DEBATE STAGE. >> I'M THE GUY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT TO BE THE GUY. HE'S FIRST PLACE IN THE POLLS SO IF YOU WANT TO WIN YOU GOT TO BEAT THE MAN LAWRENCE. LOOK. YOU'RE RIGHT. I WAS PRESIDENT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PRESIDENT'S TRANSITION. I

HELPED PREP HIM FOR BOTH SETS OF DEBATES. I WAS CHAIRMAN OF HIS OPIOID AND DRUG ABUSE PROGRAM. SAID HE WAS GOING TO BALANCE THE BUDGETS AND YOU MENTION DEBATES. WE SHOULD HAVE DEBATES AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE GO TO THE DEBATE. DONALD TRUMP SHOULD BE ON THAT STIEJ TOO. IF YOU WANT THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS TO SEE US AND HAVE US COMPARE AND LET THEM CHOOSE AND AMERICAN

PEOPLE ARE GOOD AT THAT AND THEY NEED ALL THE INFORMATION, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO GIVE THEM. >> GOVERNOR MY BIG QUESTION IS HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BREAK THROUGH? I SAID THE 1 PERCENT ON THE NATIONAL POLLS WE JUST RELEASED AND NEW HAMPSHIRE ABOUT 6%. BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TO WIN THE PRIMARY FIRST. THE DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T SHOW UP IF SOME CANDIDATES DON'T SHOW UP

TO DEBATE, HOW DO YOU TAKE THEM ON THEN? >> GOT TO CHASE THEM TO FIND THEM. GOT TO GO WHERE THEY ARE. POLLS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I REMIND THE VIEWERS 8 YEARS AGO NOW DONALD TRUMP WAS AT 4 PERCENT IN THE 2007 BARACK OBAMA WAS LOSING TO HILLARY CLINTON BY 38 POINTS END OF JUNE 2007. WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS CAMPAIGN THREE WEEKS. WE

ARE MAKING A MARK. WE ARE GOING TO COOP WORKING AT IT. THAT'S WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE CANDIDATES COMING ON YOUR PROGRAM LIKE THIS AND BE ASKED WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ASK AND ANSWER THEM DIRECTLY. I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR THIS COUNTRY. I WANT TO DO BIG THINGS FOR AMERICA. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO. >> GOVERNOR I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU ON

PROGRAMS. YOU LAID OUT WHY NOT ONLY YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP IS UNFIT BUT WHY JOE BIDEN IS UNFIT. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE REACHING BINARY CHOICES AND THERE'S A REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT IN THE RACE, RNC HAS A LOYALTY PLEDGE, YOU DON'T MAKE MUCH OF THAT BUT IF DONALD TRUMP IS THE NOMINEE, WOULD YOU SUPPORT HIM? >> LOOK, LAWRENCE. I'M GOING TO SIGN A LOYALTY PLEDGE BUT I'M GOING

TO TREAT IT WITH AS MUCH SERIOUSNESS DONALD TRUMP DID IN 2016. HE SIGNED IT. WE GOT ASKED IN DEBATE. WILL YOU STAND BY THE LOYALTY PLEDGE. NINE OF US RAISED OUR HAND. DONALD TRUMP DIDN'T. >> TAKE THE PLEDGE OUT OF IT. WHO DO YOU END UP VOTING FOR? >> I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CHOICE AMERICA WANTS. BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM THEY'RE 160 YEARS OLD. THERE

COMES A TIME THERE'S A SELL HALF BY DATE AND FATHER TIME IS UNDEFEATED. >> WE KNOW THE REALITY THERE, ARE TWO LEADING CANDIDATES. >> BY THE WAY LAWRENCE THE REALITY EIGHT YEARS AGO WAS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE JEB BUSH RUNNING AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON. THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT TO BE THE CASE SO -- >> I WANT TO ASK YOU THIS GOVERNOR. >> I WOULDN'T VOTE

GOING TO NOMINATE SOMEONE WHO IS UNDER TWO SETS OF CRIMINAL CHARGES NOW AND STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR TWO MORE? YOU KNOW WE WANT TO WIN THIS RACE AND WE ARE TIRED OF LOSING. UNDER DONALD TRUMP WE LOST THE HOUSE IN '18, THE SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE IN '22 AND OTHER THINGS IN '22. >> EVER SINCE THE INDICTMENT DONALD TRUMP HAS GONE UP IN THE POLLS. HOW

DO YOU MAKE THE CASE TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS WHEN THEY ESSENTIALLY JUST DOUBLE DOWN IN THEIR SUPPORT? >> BUT THEY DON'T DOUBLE DOWN ON ANYTHING. NO ONE HAS VOTED YET. >> YOU DON'T PUT MUCH STOCK INTO POLLING. >> THAT'S WHAT IT IS TODAY. YOU KNOW HOW THEY ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. THEY SAY IF THE ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY, I WOULD BE SHOCKED BECAUSE THE FIRST ELECTION IS

NOT UNTIL JANUARY IOWA, JANUARY 2024. WE ARE 7 MONTHS FROM THAT NOW. SO LET'S RUN A CAMPAIGN. DON'T THINK WE CROWN KINGS IN AMERICA. YOU GOT TO WORK FOR IT. DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO WORK FOR THIS NOMINATION. >> WHEN IT COMES TO NOMINEES DO YOU ALL BECOME FRIENDS BECOME? DOES HE OFFER YOU A CABINET POSITION? >> I DON'T THINK SO. SOME OF THIS STUFF HE'S CALLED

ME OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND IT'S SAD. BUT IT IS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER AND IT'S HIS DOING. >> BUT YOU'RE NOT CLOSE TO GO DOOR TO VOTING FOR HIM. >> NO. I'M SAYING I CAN'T SUPPORT HIM. I CAN'T SUPPORT EITHER ONE OF THEM NOT BIDEN OR TRUMP BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT COMPETENT AND QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT. IT'S

FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. JOE BIDEN PREDOMINANTLY BECAUSE OF AGE AND DONALD TRUMP I DON'T THINK CAN WIN WHEN YOU'RE UNDER THIS MUCH CRIMINAL SCRUTINY AND THE CONDUCT HE'S ENGAGED IN TAKING THOSE DOCUMENTS KEEPING THEM IN HIS HOME, MAKING SURE HIS LAWYERS DIDN'T SEE THEM, NOT TELLING TRUTH TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WHEN THEY WANTED THE DOCUMENTS BACK AND WHAT HE WAS SAYING ON A TAPE WAVING AROUND A

DOCUMENT I WAS LYING THEM. MAMA JONES AND MY MOM WOULD SAY YOU'RE LYING ONCE I'M NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THE OTHER TIME TOO. WE NEED SOMEONE HONEST DIRECT AND CAN BEAT THE DEMOCRATS. >> CHRIS KRISTY, THANKS FOR TAKING THE QUESTIONS. JOE BIDEN'S GAFFES BECOMING SO COMMON THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO NORMALIZE IT. THE MEDIA AREN'T COVERING UP FOR HIM. THEY'RE OPEN
