Chris Christie, Donald Trump Speak Out At Faith and Freedom Conference | The View

SO FRIDAY CHRIS CHRISTIE SPOKE AT THE FAITH AND FREEDOM CONFERENCE AND GOT A LOT OF REACTION. TAKE A LOOK. >> HE'S UNWILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE MISTAKES THAT WERE MADE, ANY OF THE FAULTS THAT HE HAS, AND ANY OF THE THINGS THAT HE'S DONE, AND THAT IS NOT LEADERSHIP, EVERYBODY. THAT IS A FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP. AND I -- [ BOOS ] YOU CAN

BOO ALL YOU WANT, BUT HERE'S THE THING. OUR FAITH TEACHES US THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THEY DO. PEOPLE HAVE TO STAND UP AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WHAT THEY DO. [ APPLAUSE ] >> HALF THE ROOM WAS CLAPPING ALSO, AND SO IT WAS A REAL MIXED BAG, BUT LOOK. I KNEW THAT'S WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I ACCEPTED THE INVITATION, BUT I'M

AND I BELIEVE THE YOU IS MORE THAN 200 MILLION PEOPLE THAT LOVE OUR COUNTRY. THEY'RE OUT THERE, AND THEY LOVE OUR COUNTRY. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Sunny: I ENJOY THAT HE'S BEEN INDICTED, SO MAYBE IT IS FOR ME. I MEAN, I THINK THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, AND HE'S BEEN INDICTED AND, YOU KNOW, BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT AS WELL,

BUT I THINK THAT'S AN INTERESTING SPIN THAT HE PUT ON IT. WHAT WAS SHOCKING TO ME WAS THE HYPOCRISY OF THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY BOOING AT THE TRUTH. I MEAN, WE CAN ALL HAVE DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS, BUT THE FACTS REMAIN THE SAME, AND HE DID THESE THINGS. SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY WERE GOING LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA WILL LIKE LITTLE KIDS. THEY STILL

VOTE FOR HIM. IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS LIKE 50% OF REPUBLICANS SAY THEY' GOING TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP, AND I THINK IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE IN THE 80% -- YOU CAN TELL ME IN MY EAR IF I'M WRONG OF EVANGELICALS WILL. >> Ana: WHY IS THAT SHOCKING AT THIS POINT? WE SAW DONALD TRUMP ATTACK A DISABLED PERSON. WE HEARD HIM SAY HORRIBLE THINGS ABOUT

WOMEN. AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED INCREDIBLY OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND RAPE. AFTER WE HEARD HIM BOASTING ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT ON TAPE, AND THEY STILL LINE UPD IN VOLUMES FOR HIM. AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT SHOCKED. I THINK THIS CONVENTION INSTEAD OF BEING CALLED FAITH AND FREEDOM SHOULD BE CALLED YOUR FAITH TAKES AWAY MY FREEDOM. >> Sunny: YEAH. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Ana: YOU KNOW WHAT WAS --

WHAT WAS -- CHRIS CHRISTIE GETTING BOOED, HE LOVES IT. HE LOVES IT, AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE'S GETTING BOOED. I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE'S THERE WITHOUT BATTING AN EYELASH SAYING THE TRUTH, AND THAT IS HIS ROLE IN THIS RACE, AND TO ME WHAT'S INTERESTING IS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PENCE. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT -- YOU KNOW WHO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT AT ALL?

RON DISASTER. >> Sunny: DID HE GO TO THIS THING? >> Ana: THEY ALL WENT AND NOBODY IS EVEN MENTIONING HIM. SOME OF THE LATEST HEADLINES LOSING ALREADY, MAYBE RON DeSANTIS LOSING. WOKE WINS. THERE WAS A JUDGE IN FLORIDA, A FEDERAL JUDGE WHO RULED AGAINST HIS STUPID BILL TRYING TO BAN DRAG SHOWS TODAY, AND SO -- [ APPLAUSE ] >> Alyssa: PERSONALLY I TIP MY HAT TO

CHRIS CHRISTIE. WHAT WE DIDN'T SEE, HE GOT APPLAUSE AT THE END OF THE SPEECH. HE STARTED GETTING BOOED, BUT STARTED CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS. WHO THEY WANT TO SUPPORT WITH FOR PRESIDENT IS SOMEONE THEY CAN HAVE A BEER WITH, AND EVEN IF THEY DISAGREE WITH, THEY WON'T BE ATTACKING THEM. >> Sunny: NOT A BUD LIGHT THOUGH. NOT A BUD LIGHT. >> Alyssa: EXACTLY. HAVE A BUD

LIGHT AND JUST CALM DOWN. >> Whoopi: BRING THE BUD LIGHT UPON BRING IT ON. >> Alyssa: THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ELECTORATE THAT TURNS OUT IS ONLY ABOUT 30% OF REGISTERED REPUBLICANS. >> Whoopi: MM-HMM. >> Alyssa: THE BROADEST SWATH OF THE GOP ABOUT 70%, IF SOMEBODY COULD GET INTO THE PRIMARY, ACTIVATE THOSE VOTERS, INSPIRE THEM TO TURN OUT, A DARK HORSE CANDIDATE COULD EMERGE. MY FRIEND WILL HEARD

GOT INTO THE RACE, AND HE'LL BE ON THE SHOW SOON. HE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS I HEAR MY FRIENDS TALK ABOUT, RIGHT, LEFT, AND CENTER. SCHOOL SAFETY, GUN VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY, IMMIGRATION THAT'S NOT JUST PARTISAN LINES. HOW CAN WE WORK AS A COUNTRY TO SOLVE IT? I THINK THERE'S A WAY THAT SOMEBODY CAN GO AND TALK TO PEOPLE AND SAY, WE DON'T NEED

TO DO THIS AGAIN. I KNOW YOU DON'T USUALLY TURN OUT IN PRIMARIES AND YOU'RE NOT AN ACTIVIST, BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE DIRECTION OF THE COUNTRY, GET BEHIND ME. THAT'S WHAT I HOPE WE SEE. >> Sara: EVEN WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE EVANGELICALS VOTING FOR HIM, THE FIRST TIME AROUND I REMEMBER, LIKE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND EXPLAINING THIS AWAY, BUT IT WAS JUST TO GET THE

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. THEIR ONE ISSUE. >> Sunny: THEY GOT THEM. >> Sara: TO ME IT'S MORE SHOCKING THEY REMAIN THERE. >> Sunny: THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. >> Sara: NOW THAT THEY HAVE THEIR JUSTICES. THAT ALWAYS BLOWS MY MIND WHEN I SEE THEM BEING OKAY WITH A DONALD TRUMP. THE DESCRIPTION ON THEIR WEBSITE OF THEIR COALITION IS WE BELIEVE THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOVERNMENT LIES IN THE

CHARACTER OF OUR PEOPLE. VIRTUE, HARD WORK, MARRIAGE, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND HELPING THE LEAST AMONG US. AS I WATCHED THAT, I SAW IN FULL FORCE, I THINK THE REASON CHRIS CHRISTIE TURN THAD CROWD AROUND WAS WHEN HE STARTED TO ALMOST ECHO SOME OF THE THINGS, LIKE, YOU GUYS, FAITH TEACHES US. YOU GOT TO OWN YOUR STUFF. THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE THE CHANGE, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEY

HAVEN'T GRASPED THAT TRUMP CAN'T WIN A GENERAL ELECTION. ALTHOUGH THEY'RE COMING TOGETHER FOR ANYTHING BUT BIDEN, THEY'RE VOTING FOR BIDEN BY VOTING FOR TRUMP. >> Whoopi: I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT THAT EVERY TIME SOMEBODY SAYS A POLL SAYS, JUST KNOW THAT THEY'RE ONLY POLLING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. THEY'RE NOT POLLING ALL REPUBLICANS, BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT -- SAME WITH DEMOCRATS. POLLS ARE A

SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT GET THE PHONE CALL. >> Sunny: YOU SAY YOU'VE NEVER GOTTEN THE PHONE CALL. >> Whoopi: I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A PHONE CALL. I THINK THEY'RE SCARED OF ME. >> Alyssa: CAN I SAY ONE THING, WHOOP? >> Whoopi: YEAH. >> Alyssa: TO SARA'S POINT, A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO WAS A GOOD SENIOR OBAMA OFFICIAL WHO SAID, BIDEN SHOULD BE SHAKING IN HIS

BOOTS. MY PARTY IS NOMINATING SOMEBODY WHO I DON'T THINK CAN BEAT JOE BIDEN, BUT RATHER THAN SOMEBODY HE SHOULD BE AFRAID OF. >> Whoopi: MAYBE, AND CALL ME CRAZY. MAYBE THEY REALIZE THAT THEY ARE SO FAR OUT THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS TO REEL THEMSELVES BACK IN. THEY SAY, TAKE THE CLOWN FOR NOW. WE'LL PUT THE CLOWN UP BECAUSE WE KNOW

WE CAN'T WIN, AND WE CAN SORT OF GO LIKE THIS AND LOOK LIKE WE CARED A LOT AND REALLY WE'RE BEHIND HIM AND HE'LL SHUT UP, AND DO IT LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT JUST -- OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SIMPLY, YOU KNOW, THE EVANGELICALS ARE NOT THE EVANGELICALS OF MY YOUTH. >> Sunny: YEAH. >> Whoopi: I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN EVANGELICALS. >> Sunny: SAME. >> Whoopi: I DON'T KNOW

WHO THESE FOLKS ARE. >> Ana: THEY WERE JERRY FALWELL. REMEMBER THE GUY WHO WAS SO INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING EVANGELICAL SUPPORT FOR TRUMP? >> Whoopi: YEAH. >> Ana: THEN HE HAD TO RESIGN AND HE WAS FIRED FROM LIBERTY BECAUSE HE WAS WITH THE POOL BOY IN MIAMI. >> Whoopi: OH, YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SON. THAT'S THE SON. >> Ana: RIGHT. THE OTHER ONE'S DEAD. >> Whoopi: THE

DAD IS -- THAT'S WHERE IT BEGAN WAS WITH HIS DAD. >> Ana: RIGHT. >> Whoopi: YOU KNOW, THE THING ABOUT EVANGELICALS THAT WE ALL HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THAT THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS. >> Sunny: YES. >> Whoopi: THEY'RE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE FLAWED LIKE ALL OF US SO WHEN THEY WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT GOD MAY NOT BE ON THEIR SIDE THE WAY THEY THINK HE IS BECAUSE

SOMEONE WHO SAYS, I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU SOUNDS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE, YOU KNOW. >> Sara: THE GREAT J.C. >> Sunny: YEAH. >> Whoopi: GO AHEAD. >> Sunny: MANY OF THEM ARE SUCH GOOD PEOPLE AND BEING TAKEN BY THIS CHARLATAN WHICH IS DISTRESSING. I HAVE A LEGAL NOTE. TRUMP HAS CONTINUED TO DENY ANY WRONGDOING AND MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE I
