Host / other voice“Same with Chris Christie, another former client of mine, who now is saying the right things about Trump, but endorsed Trump in 16 and endorsed Trump in 20, even after Trump tried to kill him in debate prep when he gave him COVID.”
Host / other voice“the Chris Christie love for Springsteen and he's got to be pictured with him and he got snubbed is bad. But being in Jerry Jones box, that's a lot worse. That is sycophancy of a level that's unparalleled for Christy. It really makes them small.”
Host / other voice“Chris Christie wanted to criticize one person and claim they are unfit for duty. Choosing Robert F. Kennedy for health and Jewish services. That's up there with closing down the bridge on the way to New York. Not a good decision.”
Host / other voice“And the only way Trump could get inside a catering truck to board Air Force One, because Chris Christie and J.B. Pritzker volunteered to eat the food first.”
Host / other voice“How about sloppy Chris Christie? He says, he only built 50 miles for Borderwall. What a loser he is, by the way.”
Host / other voice“you look at Saturn. And I get along very well with Saturn. But there you look at... Artemis, you look at the rockets, big rock, they call me huge, they call me biggest rocket man, right? But we get along very well with Kim Jong-un, and he's a nice guy to me. He's not nice to other people, but he's nice to me because he knows that I drop a bomb in his lap very quickly too, and he doesn't want to deal with it.”
Host / other voice“somebody asked where Chris Christie was from the audience and he said he's probably eating, right? And then this is what I believe happened. I don't know. But he just stops what he's saying. Trump just stops what he's saying and goes, don't call him a fat pig. I would never say that. I would never call him a fat pig.”
Host / other voice“I think the biggest... Bruce Springsteen fan I know is former Governor Chris Christie, a Republican who's run for president as Republican, but he's as diehard as it gets when it comes to Springsteen.”
Host / other voice“Chris Christie's lap band, you know, he had a lap band. And he broke it. Nobody thought it was possible, but he had the lap band that he kept eating. And he snapped it. And he got very big.”
Host / other voice“you have to watch Chris Christie and Donna Brazil, who can't speak proper English, as the main critters on Sepococcus show, and that Christy is unbelievable”
Host / other voice“Chris Christie is a lifer, which is why he was so belligerent, and, you know, the rest of the country was like, how did you vote this guy in?”
Host / other voice“The President of the United States did post an AI video of Chris Christie and J.B. Pritzker sumo wrestling. That actually did happen.”
