Im Jonathan Hunt now back to Hannity Jill Bidens speech on Wednesday, was nothing more than a stream of reckless spending, more taxes, more taxes, higher taxes, more debt, more amnesty and more questions about how you will pay for all of this. It was unimpressive impractical, totally divorced from reality, and even Democrats are asking tough questions like West Virginia senator Joe Manchin. He says hes uncomfortable with the cost of this massive agenda. According to former New Jersey republican Governor Chris Christie, Bidens address sounded like a 15 year old if you gave them a credit card with no limit get this. According to a new report from Axios tonight, friends close to Christie believe hes, going to run for president in twenty twenty four here to respond to all of this former New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie. Are you think about running for president will not get that one out of the way? First, im not ruling it out a long
way that go yet im not going to rule it out, but I think I have a lot to say and a lot to do for the country and the future well see how the next few years ago, would you challenge Donald Trump in a primary? I would not make him a decision based on anyone else who was running. I believe, im the right person and if my family supports it, those of the two things that are most important to me. You have been at times critical to Donald Trump come. On the other hand, the agenda is pretty clear. He believes in liberty, freedom, low taxes, less bureaucracy. He wants constitutionalists on the bench law and order signature, Trump Right, safety and security in our cities. He fights for school choice, secure borders, energy independence, free and fair trade, peace through strength, protecting pre, existing concessions, but free market solutions for health care. Do you disagree with any of that agenda?
No. I agree with that entire agenda, something I fought for my entire political career, but I dont think any of these decisions should be based on what other people are doing. They have to be based on what you believe in your mind, and your heart is best for the country its a long way. We have no way of predicting what this is going to look like if we were sitting here in two thousand and thirteen, no one was predicting that Donald Trump was going to run for president in two thousand, and sixteen lets wait to see what happens overall. How do you grade Trump as president? Overall, I give the president and a the fact of the matter is there was things that happen specifically at the end of the presidency that I think clouded his accomplishments and thats. Why we as a party, need to emphasize the issues you just talked about and be talking about those, because I think those are incredibly popular with the american people, and
that election was much more about personality than it was about our issues and the proof of that is you got fifteen members republican members of the house that are new. You flipped, a governorship flipped, two legislative chambers, the river Lukens had a great night up and down the ticket and weve got to remember thats because of issues we stand for and what we are willing to fight for, like fighting against the craziness thats in this Joe Biden Bill, for instance, like a new provision that would pay someone seventy five percent of their salary in unemployment insurance. If they quit their job, you dont have to get fired or laid off. You get unemployment for quitting for what they call good cause. If to MIKE in this administration, a good cause might be if someones feeling are hurt. The american people are going to stand for this thats. Why im speaking out and saying President Biden is not telling the truth about these plans and he needs to be called out as a liar. The liberal media was more than happy to use that word on President Trump over and over
again, but for some reason we cant use it on Joe Biden im not going to hesitate using it because a lie is a live. He has lied a lot and I agree with your comments on all of those things. Let me ask you about. For example, I think every state should have voter, I dot d, signature verification. We have to have monitoring chain of custody by both parties. I think partisan observers must be able to watch the vote, count that is in the statutory language of most states. Cleaning up voter rolls should be done every year before every election. A lot of that didnt happen. Do you believe, as I do, that should be mandatory in every state, all of those things or anything you would add or subtract? There is nothing you just talked about that. I disagree with when I was governor of New Jersey. We cleaned up the voter rolls in a way that have never been done before, and you know our state has such a
history of voter fraud that one of my democratic predecessors said he made his wife promise. He would be buried in New Jersey, city, New Jersey, so he could stay active in politics. We did those kind of things when I was governor. More importantly, on the I dot d issue, we see recent polls that show nearly eighty percent of all american support that I dont understand. If I go into an office building in New York City, I have to show my I dot d. I dont have to show my I dot d. If I felt that makes no sense to me at all, all Joe Biden is saying: even vaccinated people need to be wearing masks for gods sakes. His words, my understanding, was, if you got the vaccine, that life would return to normal and life at normal was not what we saw at the joint of Congress this week and hes on a zoom call
if he is the only world leader wearing a mask. I find that part odd. Do you believe the vaccinations, as we have been told that once vaccinated it protects you with a high rate of efficacy from contracting the coronavirus and it should wheres the promise to return to normal life? Is my question not only that the science not only shows it protects you from getting the virus and getting sick yourself? It protects you from transmitting the virus. To someone else look. We should have been back in school in September all across this country. In September of twenty twenty, we still only have forty three percent of the kids back in school. We should be allowing people who have taken both doses of their vaccine to be able to go back to doing what they do. Businesses should all be open. A ballpark should all be open. Arenas should all be open. This is something when people are vaccinated should be able to
participate, as if this had not happened. I dont understand why the delay in that I dont understand what the president continues to urge it when his own cdc is saying something completely different. They change their mind because of politics, six dollars trillion in spending. We know the numbers dont add up. Biden said he could do it did not add to the deficit. You dont need to be an MIT graduate to figure it out, but then its court, packing d, DOT, C Puerto Rico statehood, then its ending, the legislative filibuster, then its open borders, amnesty ignoring the laws that are currently in place like sanctuary cities and the states. Why do I believe that if I ever aided and abetted lawbreaking like is now institutionalized in states and the situation at our southern border? Why do I think I would get arrested and put in jail for the rest of my life, because youre right, you would be here is the fact here.
All of those things should focus. Republicans like a laser on twenty thousand. Two hundred and two elections have consequences us losing those two seats in the Georgia Senate. Races have made all of this possible. We need to be loud and proud about what we stand up for. I said the president was lying about the Georgia voting law because he wasnt lying and is lying about the Georgia voting law. I said hes not telling the truth about an infrastructure package that only spends about twenty four percent of the total on what we know as infrastructure. I said he was lying about the one dollar and eighty nine cents trillion covert relief bill that spent only ten percent on health care. We cant allow ourselves to sit back and wait for something to happen. We have to alert the american people to the fact these things are happening right now, because that is what is going to stop court packing. That is going to stop the legislative filibuster. We are calling him out to someone who doesnt tell the truth. Rudy Giuliani was the
person who first introduced me to you. I dont know. If you remember, I sure do we know there are referrals in inspector General Horowitzs report. We still dont have a Durham report. We have premeditated fraud on the FISA Court with the phony dossier that Hillary paid for you watch what happened he had offered this apparently to the prosecutors. I really believe at this point in american history im concerned. We dont have equal justice and application of our laws. Do you see what I see im very concerned about the fact that there would be a search warrant executed on the home and office of a lawyer without regards to attorney client privilege? When I was? U dot S attorney, we were very reluctant to do things like that im concerned about that im going to tell you something. As you know, I was a victim of the
Obama Biden, Justice Department. The Supreme Court had to reverse them. 9 0 weve got to be vigilant about this and im a supporter of.
