Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Christie

Well it's a good thing the substitute teacher is here because Chris Christie insults Donald Duck, Pence creeps out teachers and that was the Republican Primary Debate.

On Wednesday night, Fox Business and Rumble hosted the second Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in beautiful Simi Valley, California. Bari Weiss and The Free Press's very own Peter Savodnik watched live in the spin room as the seven candidates—Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Tim Scott, and Doug Burgum— took the stage to spar over questions about union strikes, inflation, income inequality, the cost of childcare, the border, China, crime, policing, drugs, gun violence, education, Russia, Ukraine. . . really, nothing new. But of course, the man they really wanted to spar with and the man leading the polls by a landslide still refuses to play ball. So, we sent TFP reporter Michael Moynihan to check in on the elusive Donald Trump, who spent his night on the other side of the country speaking to a crowded room, which he claimed would be full of striking auto workers. (Though, Moyihan had a hard time finding them.) Trump's Detroit visit came just one day after President Biden went to the picket line in Wayne County to march with union members outside a General Motors plant—an unprecedented move by a sitting president. On today's episode, as the two likely 2024 candidates battled to portray themselves as the voice of blue-collar Americans, what were the seven GOP hopefuls hoping to achieve by squabbling at the Reagan Library instead of marching with striking auto workers? Who were the biggest winners and losers of this very strange tale of two cities? And with nearly 60 percent of GOP voters backing Trump, is anyone emerging as a viable Trump competitor, or is it time to face the fact that we're tumbling toward a 2020 rematch between two very old men that no one really wants to see happen?

President Joe Biden's impeachment inquiry hearing is underway. Will the bribery scandals with Hunter Biden, Ukraine, and China implicate him? Also, Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ) won't resign, and Elon Musk announced that he plans to visit the southern border. Finally, last night's GOP presidential debate, hosted by Fox Business Network and Univision, featured former Gov. Chris Christie, former Gov. Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott, former VP Mike Pence, and Gov. Doug Burgum as they all made their case to be the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election. Of course, one candidate was notably absent: former President Donald Trump. The Sekulow team discusses all this – and more – on today's jam-packed show.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: Who won last night's Republican presidential debate from the Reagan Presidential Library? While several candidates had strong moments, there was seemingly no real challenge to Donald Trump's massive polling lead. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump has a 43-point advantage over second-place candidate Ron DeSantis—57% to 14%. On Thursday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden's alleged improper role in his family's overseas business deals. In his opening statement, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) claimed that the Biden family has received millions of dollars from companies with ties to the Chinese government. Should Chris Christie drop out of the Republican presidential primary and, instead, challenge Sen. Robert Menendez for his U.S. Senate seat? According to polling, Christie would win a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew dismissed all charges against former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial who was accused of shooting and killing Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop last month. In the aftermath of the decision, the city saw widespread looting in Center City, the Northeast, and West Philadelphia—targeting stores like Foot Locker, Lululemon, Apple, and Fine Wine & Good Spirits on Tuesday night. On Wednesday night, break-ins and thefts continued with 6 more people arrested—bringing the total, according to a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer, to 58 people through two-days. You can read more here: https://www.inquirer.com/crime/philadelphia-looting-vandalism-liquor-store-nats-beauty-supply-20230928.html On Wednesday, Donald Trump skipped the Republican presidential debate and instead visited Clinton Township, Michigan where he spoke directly to striking auto workers. 

Seven Republicans qualified for last night's presidential primary debate: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.At the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, the candidates gathered on stage without the current front-runner: former President Donald Trump, who was, at the same time, meeting with auto workers in Michigan.Where are the candidates finding space for alignment and disagreement with both Trump and each other?We discuss the event and the significance of Trump's absence.

According to The New York Times, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis received the most speaking time—speaking for 12:27 of the 2-hour long debate. The New York Times also notes that the subject which received the most debate time was border security. You can read more about the debate's statistical breakdown here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/27/us/politics/second-republican-debate-live-tracker.html 3:15pm- Who won last night's Republican presidential debate from the Reagan Presidential Library? While several candidates had strong moments, there was seemingly no real challenge to Donald Trump's massive polling lead. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump has a 43-point advantage over second-place candidate Ron DeSantis—57% to 14%. 3:35pm- On Thursday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden's alleged improper role in his family's overseas business deals. In his opening statement, Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said “this is a tale as old as time. A politician takes action that makes money for his family and then tries to conceal it.” 3:50pm- During the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) called-out Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-NY) for claiming there needed to be a House vote prior to launching an impeachment inquiry. In 2019, Raskin emphatically stated that no vote was needed to open an impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump. 4:05pm- Have we been slicing pizza wrong? A viral video on social media shows one person using a “white plastic pizza saver” to remove slices. You can watch the weird video here:  https://nypost.com/2023/09/28/viral-video-shows-weve-been-slicing-pizza-wrong-forever/ 4:15pm- Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew dismissed all charges against former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial who was accused of shooting and killing Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop last month. In the aftermath of the decision, the city saw widespread looting in Center City, the Northeast, and West Philadelphia—targeting stores like Foot Locker, Lululemon, Apple, and Fine Wine & Good Spirits on Tuesday night.

You can read more here: https://www.inquirer.com/crime/philadelphia-looting-vandalism-liquor-store-nats-beauty-supply-20230928.html 4:20pm- Philadelphia social media influencer “Meatball” has been arrested for her participation in wide-spread looting on Tuesday night. Dayja “Meatball” Blackwell, who has nearly 500,000 followers on TikTok, has been charged with 6 felonies. 4:30pm- During Wednesday night's presidential debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said it was in America's best interest to end the war in Ukraine—and that we should not provide Ukraine with a “blank check.” In response, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) argued that 90% of the money being provided to Ukraine is considered a “loan.” Vivek Ramaswamy insisted the money would never, realistically, be paid back. 4:35pm- In perhaps the most awkward moment of the entire debate, former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) referred to Donald Trump as “Donald Duck” for not participating in the debate. 4:50pm- Listeners call-in to discuss last night's Republican presidential debate: who won? And was Chris Christie's “Donald Duck” moment so bad that it was actually good? 5:00pm- At the conclusion of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden on Thursday, Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced that he would be issuing subpoenas for Hunter Biden and James Biden's personal bank records. 5:15pm- In a particularly strange exchange during Wednesday night's presidential debate, former Ambassador Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) argued over the price of curtains. In a more substantive give-and-take, Haley contended that the social media application TikTok is a national security threat and should be banned. Contrarily, Vivek Ramaswamy contended that because TikTok is accessible to American citizens Republicans need a presence on the application in order to reach younger voters. 5:30pm- In his opening statement during the House impeachment inquiry in President Joe Biden, Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) alleged that “the Biden family sold access to Joe Biden's power…and the Biden Department of Justice protected the Biden brand.” 5:40pm- While appearing on CNN, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) said her state was “at capacity” due to the sudden surge of illegal migrants. 5:45pm- While appearing on CNN with Jake Tapper, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) emphatically stated that the U.S. Southern “border is secure” despite thousands of unlawful entries each day—even Tapper couldn't believe what he heard and had to ask her to confirm her statement. 5:55pm- Matt's favorite member of Congress is back: Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)! First, he prevented Guam from “capsizing,” then he solved helium inequity, and now he is concentrating on the U.S. Southern border! 6:05pm- Who won last night's Republican presidential debate from the Reagan Presidential Library? While several candidates had strong moments, there was seemingly no real challenge to Donald Trump's massive polling lead. According to RealClearPolitics polling averages, Trump has a 43-point advantage over second-place candidate Ron DeSantis—57% to 14%. 6:15pm- On Thursday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden's alleged improper role in his family's overseas business deals.

Republicans squared off last night for their second debate, and Donald Trump again decided not to participate. Chris Christie gives Trump the nickname "Donald Duck," but the attack falls a little flat when you look like Porky Pig. Ron DeSantis actually targets Trump's policies, and the people of Iowa seem to approve. Vivek gets attacked from all sides. Mark Zuckerberg says his fight with Elon Musk probably won't happen.

Stu Burguiere reviews the disastrous 2nd GOP debate of the 2024 election. But did Gov. Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, or any of the other candidates say anything worthwhile in between shouting matches? There was one silver lining, though.

Mike Slater and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow watched the 2nd GOP presidential debate....so you don't have to! But many of you did. What did you think? Did anyone on the stage stand out? Or did everyone shouting at each other turn you off? Mike and Alex take a deep dive into the debate. Then Alex talks about his upcoming book "Breaking Biden", where he exposes Joe Biden's long history of corruption! 

As the 2024 GOP hopefuls gathered in California to debate, the barbs aimed at Donald Trump were more pointed, the elbows thrown at one another were sharper, and all in all, the moderators let the exchanges careen out of control. And yet, for all of that, the debate largely fell flat: Nobody's performance was strong enough to touch Trump's massive polling lead. What exactly happened? Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza talks it all through with national politics correspondent Adam Wren, who covered the debate in person, and takes us behind the camera to reveal how it played in the room.

Paul Johnson analyzes the recent Republican debate from the view point of an independent voter, that featured former Vice President Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, Ron Desantis and Nikki Haley. Paul's observations touch upon the status quo of U.S. politics, the influence of a small minority population on partisan primaries, the importance of states like Iowa and New Hampshire, the present state of America, as well as upon conversations about abortion and foreign policy. Today's episode is a commentary on what Paul refers to as the “exceptional” recent Republican debate. There are key commonalities among independents: they register as unaffiliated because they don't want to be identified as a group, and they like candidates that aren't afraid to buck their own party. Regardless of their vast differences they personify individualism. Paul played the answer given by the candidates about whether they would support Donald Trump as U.S. President even if he was convicted of a crime. Paul spoke about why a majority of candidates had to say yes. Paul reviewed how 44% of Americans registered as an independent, leaving about 60% split 30-30 between Democrats and Republicans. He illustrated how with less than 35% turnouts in the primary, it generally leaves about 8% of all Amercians who will vote in either primary. This gives a disproportional voice on both sides to voters who are more extreme. Candidates have no choice but to abide by this reality. Paul illustrates in congressional and legislative races, 70% of the districts have been gerrymandered to the point that there is no competition in the general election. This means that 70% of our congress is elected by less than 8% of the American voters. In the Presidential race it is still less than 8% of the voters who select the nominee of each party. After they have made the case to these more extreme voters in the primary, it can be hard to pivot. This leaves candidates and the parties to convince you that they are not as bad as the guy in the other party instead of creating an inspirational message of where we should go. Paul pointed out in this debate how some of the candidates bucked this trend. Paul discussed how from his experience working in Presidential campaigns, one of these candidates could upset the front runner Trump through winning Iowa, a caucus state or New Hampshire. Paul reviewed why Vivek Ramaswamy originally was attractive to independents. He wrote in his book Nation of Victims, how Trump represented a victim state, but did a 180-degree reverse on his position during the Republican debate. Sycophancy in this election is a valid strategy. If a candidate believes Trump may lose his criminal trials and was somehow not able to finish the primary, being his defender could cause his voters to shift to the defender – Paul explains why. Vice President Mike Pence is seen as a “coward” by both the left and the right. Paul points to the role he played by maintaining the constitution and not overturning the election, and will be seen by many independents as someone who actually did something heroic. Paul touches upon the role and approach Iowa and New Hampshire tend to have and how they will impact the upcoming presidential elections. The foreign policy part of the Republican debate is something that really caught Paul's attention. Paul plays several comments by candidates laying out dramatic views of America's role in the world. Paul unpacks the post-World War II ramifications that led the U.S. to become a superpower with plenty of allies worldwide. How this leadership role we played is being challenged by China, Russia, and here at home. Paul reviewed how different candidates approached describing problems: some using fear, others using inspiration. Paul countered some of the candidates' dark views of America. He believes that there isn't any better place to be today than the U.S. He notes that despite making up less than 5% of the world's population, the U.S. makes up over 31% of the world's global wealth and 35% of the world's innovation.     Mentioned in This Episode: optamerican.com Addictive Ideologies: Finding Meaning and Agency When Politics Fail You by Dr Emily Bashah and Hon Paul Johnson The Optimistic American on YouTube - @optamerican Become a premium supporter of the show: OptAmerican.com/premium Previous episode - Does America Need a 3rd Party Candidate for President in 2024?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Hunter Biden has been indicted by a Grand Jury in Delaware on three Federal gun-related charges. Joe Biden can pardon Hunter if he wants to and it wouldn't affect his re-election chances if he is the Democrat nominee because he can wait until after the election. Strangely, some Republicans do not want Joe Biden to be the Democrat nominee for president in 2024 because he has a disastrous record and can barely speak coherently. Also, Nancy Pelosi in 2019 singlehandedly brought impeachment charges against President Trump without holding a vote, setting the precedent for Kevin McCarthy to do the same to Joe Biden. Now Pelosi is calling it hogwash because hard-left Democrats lie on all things small or big since it doesn't matter to them. RINOs and Never Trumpers like Adam Kinzinger don't just criticize Conservatives but go so far as to praise Democrats and Joe Biden for destroying our country. The Republican establishment has never supported Conservatives, from Reagan to Goldwater to Trump, so to hear people like Chris Christie and John Sununu talk about how great Reagan was while trashing Trump is absurd.

Our hosts bid a hilarious farewell to summer, recounting their epic battles with vermin that have turned their lives into a critter-filled comedy show. From raccoons invading the duo's fire escape (pictured) to rooftop escapades that sound like raccoon rave parties (not pictured), and misadventures with mice in the McDonald's cherry pie cabinet, they've got stories. Whether they're good or not is up to the internet. But the laughter doesn't stop there! John's dad's tearful tales add an emotional twist, while tales of worms and oatmeal maggots keep things delightfully disgusting. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more about vermin, they dive into a lively discussion about the Republican debate, featuring Vivek Ramaswamy and Chris Christie. This smorgasbord of raccoons, piggies, political banter, and unexpected oatmeal surprises will have you holding onto your sides while thinking twice about dirty hands and what might end up in your butt! (Seriously, listen for the butt message - it's important!)

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the war on America by the Democrat party, who hate this country, is not just focused on Donald Trump. They want to destroy Trump and make an example out of him, but they also want to make an example out of anyone who opposes the Democrat party, especially anyone involved in the 2020 election. This is what you get when you criminalize politics; Democrat cities indicting people for simply challenging an election and turning it into RICO charges. The right to a speedy trial exists in the Bill of Rights to the benefit of the citizen, not the government, and Judge Chutkan rushing Trump's trial date and jumping in front of the Florida case is a blatant misuse of her power. This is a war on the Republic being waged by the ruling class elite in Washington D.C. Also, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were breakthrough, game-changing Presidents who pierced the Washington bubble and shook up the establishment. We keep hearing from Republicans and the media how great Ronald Reagan was, yet they never believed it while he was running for President or even while President; especially from the “Stop Reagan” movement from the Bush's. We can't be fooled by people like Joe Scarborough or Chris Christie, who want to use Reagan to trash Trump. Later, Mark is joined by Peter Navarro, former Assistant to President Trump, to discuss his conviction of contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents to the corrupt January 6 committee.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, President Biden and the Democrat Party are destroying immigration and the economy. Democrats are telling us this is one of the greatest economies ever. The idea that you have to pay more for fuel, utilities, and food is your imagination because Democrats tell you they created a fantastic economy, and if you don't believe it's your fault. Don't worry about your IRA's and mutual funds. The Democrat position on the border is that it's secure and now all of a sudden sanctuary cities are upset. This is Biden's fault, he is destroying America - citizenship doesn't mean a thing anymore. What happening on the border the destruction of communities, the growing crime, and impoverishment is a Democrat Party-created disaster. Later, school choice is more important now than ever, we can't have any more pretenders. Nikki Haley can't run on a big school choice plan because she didn't have one. Chris Christie didn't lift a finger for school choice in NJ as Governor. Also, Vivek Ramaswamy was the media and polling favorite last week, now this week it's Nikki Haley. The polls are meaningless, you have to vote for the candidate you believe is best to lead the country - not who can win or who's leading in the polls. Don't be misled by talking heads on TV. Afterward, Sen Tom Cotton calls in on the latest effort to undermine Donald Trump and prevent him from returning to the White House and his take on the January 6 sentences. Finally, thanks to Mark's listeners WLS AM will air the radio show live! And thanks to Fox News and Mark's viewers Life, Liberty and Levin is expanding to 2 days a week, Saturday and Sunday.

Or how many hugs two erotically-charged men can do in one minute? Did you ever wonder if hugs could be counted? Or if an act of love such as a hug can't be quantified as there is so much more to a hug than a physical entanglement of arms, and that in the same way a competition for who can fall in love more times is a fleeting grasp at ordering the confusing nature of life, it is ultimately an impossible feat, and maybe the point of life isn't to count but to live, so when you finally allow yourself the freedom of falling out of control instead of waiting indefinitely behind the curtains of a stage that only exists in your own mind, preparing to say the lines you wrote for yourself but know deep down you'll never perform, when you finally let all that go and “embrace” the lack of control you realize you aren't falling but flying? Did you ever wonder those things? If so, you're in luck!

The former governor of New Jersey is running to be the Republican nominee for president for a second time, having lost to Donald Trump in 2016. In an interview with The NPR Politics Podcast, Christie says both he and the GOP have changed in the intervening years, but his break with Trump and Christie's positions on abortion & Ukraine increasingly put him out of step with the party he hopes to lead.
