New Jersey governor Chris Christie is at it again and this time the outspoken governor grabs the attention -- Senator John McCain.
What did Governor Christie say to peak of the senators interest Senator McCain gives us the answer but first -- reacts to the house health care repeal vote.
-- Big -- in the house -- presented according at least it's going to be Republicans they passed they've a repeal of the health care law.
Do you expect and that that the -- to come -- United States senate.
And be voted on.
No I do not.
Obviously senator Reid would probably not like to have that vote taken here.
He would probably -- a few Democrats maybe two or three Democrats on the vote.
What what's the purpose and -- -- and everyone knew that it wasn't granted that senator Harry Reid wasn't going to put up for vote here so why do it well.
I think it's important to tell the American people of our -- -- -- if they will give us some majorities and with president -- that we will.
Repeal obamacare and replace it.
With legislation that will bend the cost curve down and health care in America.
President -- wants the act.
The bush tax cuts to -- to everyone who makes over 250000 dollars here not for those under -- 2000 what's your position us.
Well obviously my position is there would be thousands and thousands of small business people all over America.
Who would.
Then have to pay taxes there are people who file.
This is personal.
Income come come tax return which would fall under this.
250000 would be huge blow to.
Small businesses in America and by the way.
-- Obama in 2009.
Said the worst thing you wanna do in a bad economy is raise taxes now.
We're in -- school class warfare gang I guess game.
I guess that the president and -- use my view trying to do everything to divert.
Americans' attention from and very bad economy and bad.
Recently bad economic news.
So has he changed -- it.
-- and that he said that previously or is this to -- this is about the election.
President previously said that when he was campaigning that he would take up comprehensive immigration reform.
He said that.
We would race.
Taxes he said.
That.
I made several statements that obviously.
Have not become reality remember he had over -- majorities.
In both houses of congress for the first two years so -- presence.
Why do you think he didn't do when he had house in the senate.
I think he devoted most of his attention to Health Care Reform -- probably.
It would've served him in the country better if they had.
Worked on other issues because the economy.
Was failing while we were focusing -- our attention.
And and the Obama care and also I think that depression to.
Thought that and still believes that if you expand government hire more government workers.
Then you will have an economy to recover I was entertained by Governor Christie states hasn't.
The governor -- he's saying please don't send me anywhere money -- I have enough.
Public servants because once that stimulus passes and the states like mine have to pick up to ten.
You just came back to Libya.
What's the report -- is kinda.
Credit was -- evening that I -- won't soon forget it was like 200000.
People in Tripoli.
Downtown celebrating their first free and fair election.
And I think it's important to note that a centrist.
In individual who attended the University of Pittsburgh.
Who was sitting here and he and his and his party got the most votes.
All I can say to people it said al-Qaeda might take over and we don't know who they -- are frankly on this network.
A lot.
Yes they have enormous challenges ahead they have to get the malicious under control they have to secure their borders there's an outflow of arms.
But we saw on an exercise in democracy.
Where people were exuberant that they were able to do.
What most people want to do yet -- elections don't make democracy.
Democracy is not possible without free and fair election.
I believe the people -- -- you're gonna make it and I believe part of that is because you're very wealthy country.
-- Afghanistan.
-- reports about.
Different is when I concluded that the Taliban sex in a woman for committed adultery.
The United States made promises to Afghani women I was in the room when -- was made one time in Kabul I heard it myself from the secretary of state.
Are what are we doing about the women of Afghanistan and the Taliban as we leave.
The majority of people.
-- and Afghanistan do not want to tell -- -- back and that's a fact and that works in our favor.
There's two big problems in Afghanistan one of corruption that permeates -- -- tired.
Government and police and it's got to be fixed President Karzai.
Promise to fix it and there are conditions on the commitment to aid the countries made that there's got to be improvement there.
The others into Haqqani Network and they assistance that the ISI the intelligence agency.
Pakistan is providing.
To -- -- network who are killing Americans.
We have to tell the pakistanis.
That we won't stand for that.
But the same thing happen to -- -- you know we we can say that the we're blue in the face we as a practical matter and the women are still getting.
Executed by the Taliban and Taliban for adultery it's -- Haqqani Network is still killing American troops.
You know no matter how many times week talent.
In the case of the ISI the Pakistan intelligence.
And the Haqqani Network I think it's time.
That we told them that if this continues and if they don't start taken on this network.
That we are going to have a fundamentally adjustment of our relationship.
It's complicated by the fact that the Pakistan it's got a nuclear arsenal and that could lead other complications.
But we can't tell American families.
That we are that their sons and daughters are wounded and killed.
By people that we are supporting -- their tax dollars it's just not possible.
