Hardcore liberal here. Takes major balls for him to come on this show. Kudos.
That’s the difference between people on the right and the left right now. Anyone left of Dave Rubin can’t defend their beliefs.
Its okay to be wrong mate.
Cris seems comfortable in any setting and is never short of words. Sometimes he is a bit too forgiving of trump.
@@rogerdorsey7823 well said
No, it doesn't. Christie is on a pouting tour because he didn't get a gig in the Trump Administration - that he was never going to get after putting Kushner's father in prison for witness tampering.
"Let Me Finish" would be a great title for a comedy tour by Louie C.K.
😂😂😂😂
I wheezed💀
Yo quit teasing Louis C.K.
Louie used that exact line in his last special
😂🤭
"Explain that to me"
That's nice to hear. It would be nice to hear it more often, from both sides.

First of the right is the most pro- debate. They welcome discussion its the far left thats got the problem of not listening to any perspective other than CNN.
eman Trust me bud the far left does NOT like cnn at all. Only neolibs do.
@@eman3000 I mean, you are the source of this problem. People who think one side has it all figured out and only the other side doesnt, goes directly against the original post here.
@@ShermCR no if you read my comment i said the right is more"pro debate" which implies that the right is more open to hearing people out and if we disagree we y'all about it. Thats not having everything figured out thats brain storming ideas and beliefs to see which ones are actual solutions to real life problems. The left is notorious for being close minded and because they focus on emotions as facts
Mad respect for Chris Christe. Great interview.
No. This was a good interview, but Christe is and always will be a scumbag.
Adam Lark Ha, I thought you meant that Bill did a great job.
@Nathan Gamez What are you babbling about?
@Nathan Gamez Elaborate on what? Your stream-of-consciousness babble of unhinged Fox-News talking points? No, no thanks.
@Nathan Gamez As I said, you don't have ideas, you have Fox-News talking points.
I speak to dimwits like you on a daily basis and you're basically interchangeable. You don't have an original idea between the lot of you.
This is a model conversation for how our political discourse in the United States should be.
Kaelib TeeGarden Rand Paul is
Agreed.
@Neo Sannyasin Okay-- compared to other conversations lately on TV, this was civil, lol. Also--what lies? I mean, besides the usual egos.
I agree W H E N will the LEFT ever stop hating conservatives. Actually they also have a new name now. populist
These conversations are the norm. Get offline
Wow he’s honest and self deprecating and a good sport... did not expect that
He is a mean Bastard. Jersey people hate him. This is a charm offensive. He wants to be POTUS.
That does not have to do anything with his policies. Remember him tanning at the beach. Smfh
na, your'e just used to trump, who never smiles let alone ~laughs~, makes jokes or takes jokes, and lies so big wnd mean and often that he makes skeezy old christie look like a favorite uncle in comparison.
He’s trying to appear more genuine and appeal to millennials. Problem is, we already know who Christie is, a sociopath. What you’re seeing here is EXACTLY what a sociopath does.... resets when he didn’t get what he wanted, so tries on a new personality to charm the public back to his good graces. He’s a snake. He’s an unethical slime. DO NOT BUY THIS NEW ACT.
I'm from Jersey.... believe me this is very atypical for him. The only reason this wasn't a smackdown between him and Maher is because he may very well sincerely agree with him on Trump's corruption. He has been known to play along with a fat joke or two but have any kind of real policy criticism of him and you'll see just how bullish and arrogant he is.
Christie's great at thinking on his toes. The next step: being able to see his toes.
W Brown I’m shocked that underlings would pay for the mistakes of a superior. That’s so rare, it merits a mention.
Easy with the "fat jokes" 😬
@@DJW56 oh piss off and shove your PC up your arse
I like that he's "big" enough to take hits like that and walk it off. He's really a guy of integrity, I way wish he'd have been our president and I'd consider him in the future. He can have a Jersey attitude, but that's just cuz he's Jersey. He's a fair, smart, even-handed dude.
@@TopShelfTheology no one disputes his intelligence, the bridegate scandal does call his integrity into question. I'd definitely pick him over Hillary or Biden, but I wouldn't take him over Yang
I definitely have gained a lot of respect for Chris Christie, it took a lot of guts for him to come onto Bill's show. Respect!
I have to agree. While I disagree with the policies supported, I do like that he has some humility and stands for his beliefs. He comes off to me as honest though I don't understand the underlying motives of the party.
He might be an unpopular fatso, but he does have guts, and sometimes that’s enough.
He is only trying to push his book. There are parts against trump in it and he knows that he can get anti trump people to buy it if he gets the word out about it. He is garbage. Look up bridgegate.
@@madgreek253 Seriously - there are easier marks to push his book than a relatively unknown cable comedy show.
@@madgreek253 I'll check into that, thank you. I'll never buy the book but I still believe that it is better rhetoric than is bring provided from most on the right that are purely tribalistic.
Christie made himself look smart here. He handled Bill very well. A pretty well matched debate, I'd say.
Bobby Standal Bill is not bright
SMART ? You mean like GET SMART from CONTROL, right ?
Bobby Standal - Christie's intelligence is far and away above that of Bill Maher!! Christie talks truth, Maher promotes his opinion.
@@MrBillmedhurst But Christie is an immoral, vindictive, narcissistic glutton.
@@wbrown3907 - If that's true, I wish you'd explain it in terms other than simple name calling. I've only watched a couple of videos of him answering questions, one at a townhall meeting, but I'll tell ya, I'm impressed with his answers.
I've watched Christie on a lot of shows and he seems like a legit guy. One of the few Republicans that can have an adult, sincere conversation without just reverting to talking points.
Yeah completely agreed. He makes his points very well and stands by them, probably my favourite Republican.
People need to stop focusing on his weight and listen to what he has to say. Overweight people are discriminated against and treated like dimwits. Bill Maher makes cheap shots all the time. Has anyone told Bill that he's not an attractive guy? Has anyone told him he has a big nose and a weak chin. Does he know he's going bald. Must be nice to pick on the fat guy. It's juvenile and distracts from talking about real concerns and issues facing this country.
P McG quiet fatty
Fair play to any conservative that goes on real time. They know they ain't going to get it easy.
false narrative, he has conservatives on every week.
MylesHSG wow! Thanks for such insights. We’d never think about that
Damien Jô oh so now he’s not a conservative because he’s not a Trump knob slobberer? Okay. Sheep go baaah baaahhhh
@Dragon Fox Obvious troll is obvious.
Conservatives will go on liberal shows but liberals are petrified to go on conservative shows.
Politician: yeah, to be honest I did it just for the money
Host: WOW, honesty from a politician!
Commenters: wow, I don't like the guy but now I kind of do!
@@The-Autistic-Rat stupid logic.
Stop. Is it smart to adopt the new progressive strategy of being more authentic and honest to appeal to voters, yes. Does that make him more of a sociopath for only deciding to do that now that it’s en vogue?
Fuck yes. DO NOT BUY IT
@@calebmatthews2026 So then you're not gonna buy any politician's book, right? They all do it for the money. A book deal makes them millions of dollars.
Just because he said something appealing to you doesnt mean it wasnt a lie. You actually believe he dosnt have another agenda re future career? A bit of reverse apyschology can go a long way ." He's honest, so lets vote for him"
Chris Christie is really going all out on the "please like me" tour.
The thing is, it’s kinda working. I can’t even remember when I hated him!
I've never liked him but I wouldn't hanging out and getting FITSHACED with him🍺🍻🍸🍷🍹!!!
i like him more now, but i dont think i'll ever forget how he closed down a beach for himself and closed down a bridge to sabotage a rival. thats mob boss shit
James Jackson right
He realizes he got played by Trump after playing the rest of the country for Trump. Now he has no friends and no future prospects unless he can somehow get people to forget he was one of Trump's right hand men during the campaign. You know, that time when Trump was doing tons of illegal shit that's sending his campaign staff to prison, one by one?
Let's be Honest here: He needs to get Fit and this guy would turn into a strong candidate for the presidency. He is a "Bridge candidate" likeable on both sides.
I see what you did there!
That's what we call deep state.
He doesn't have good judgment given that he advised Donald Trump
Gotta say. Long time democrat.....but there is something about this guy that is just amazing. But, I need to hear him say these things 2 years from now
I'm impressed with how likable he seems. And I also like that he's open about disagreeing with Trump
You should read the book. Or listen to him on other shows. He's not open about disagreeing with Trump.
And besides, what is this "disagree' stuff? Trump is a disgusting traitor. I expect more than disagreement anyway.
He is trying to sell his book.
This man was a lapdog for Trump when he thought he'd get a cabinet position. Now he "disagrees" with Trump because it's expedient. Don't fall for this shtick - it's a salvage operation for his sinking reputation.
Of course, he seems likable--he's trying to sell a book! You want to know what he's *_really_* like? Look at this record. He's a two-faced weasel with zero integrity...who wrote a book.
He appears likeable because he’s not the governor of New Jersey anymore.
Damn they acknowledge the fat jokes
Wad Jay so did the chair.
@ 0:48 gonna say "damn bill, that was rough... "
but then i also understand that CC is just a hungry guy...
cons/confederates/conservatives are all fucked off, ie spot on backwards...
...least hes a nerve to try again... (i mean it)
lipstick anyone? (i mean that too)
+Wad Jay He's not afraid of taking them. Whenever he's been to the White House Correspondents dinner he's the one guy who's being roasted out of all the Republicanicans who actually laughs at jokes about him.
Fat people hold the earth down, be grateful. 🌎 😗
Why not? It's humor.
Loved this guy in the Soprano's
rivolinho took paulie envelopes a couple times
😂😂☠️☠️
oh yeah, he was Satriale's mascot
Lord Frank 😂😂😂😂😂
I believe he played himself.
I am kind of over the Chris Christie fat jokes. It's not funny anymore when this guy is actually smart
Chris Christe's great. Very clever guy and completely unfazed by questions. I hope he runs 2024
I hate the guy but he’s actually kind of funny and down to earth
he is neither
Black Rod yeah but he has no power so idc bout how he plays a conman, like trump. No one cared about trump until he had power, we always knew he was bad and dumb as rocks. I’m glad Christie is doing this and not ruining people’s lives in New Jersey
Don't be fooled.
He’s pretty scummy.... he was my governor, unfortunately.... 90% of what he does is self serving and bad for the little guy...he’s a real bully, like trump, only smarter
You fell for the trap
I have to say, I'm impressed with Christie.
Kudos to Bill telling a fat joke to HIS FACE! And Kudos to Christie for taking the joke LIKE A COW!
Jis Yang lmfao
Actually these are jokes I don’t appreciate from Bill no matter who the individual is. It’s rude, plain and simple. Christy knew about BMs past jokes and still came in the show. I think Chris showed class and spoke well. Can’t believe I’m saying this...
Jis Yang 🤣🤣😂
That was a refreshingly honest answer on why he wrote his book and the audience groaned. That’s why most people write books, to make money.
I thought it was extremely unnecessary. And a little mean girl.
I've always liked Christie because he's real. You can tell it's genuine and not an act. That was a great interview
Real? He is a liar. He caused death with his bridge stunt. He knew. He is hated in new Jersey. He wouldn't win that state again in any form.
@@tpl608 forgot about the bridge stunt
too bad being real and likable isnt a quality youd want for a congressman
you want 2 qualities: 1. smart 2. moral
thats it.
He is just salt of the Earth. Salt and butter. Real butter, though. Salty real butter.
Yeah, a real jag off.
"Life is full of pain and disappointment, they need to learn about that now".
Accountability vs Responsibility argument was great...you can definitely see the lawyer in him. I would take him over Trump any day!
This is exactly how an interview should be. Well done!
Two people on opposite sides having a really friendly intelligent conversation 👍🏻
Christie IS quick thinking, sooo intelligent, openly Frank & forthcoming, engaging, great debater! Wonderful interview & discussion with Bill Maher!!
Wow was not expecting Chris Christie to be like this. Great guy, common sense.
I don't know much about Chris Christie, but at least he seems honest and"in "our" reality.
He's a Republican politician. So, under Trump's thumb if he tried to run for something. Or under corporate and billionaire's thumbs.
Co Fa Agree. It was actually nice to see the two be cordial, speak candidly and actually act like adults. Why our politicians can’t act like is beyond me...well no it isn’t...they act out for themselves because they have to scramble to get re-elected and fund raise as often as they do. In part! Makes me further support publicly funded campaigns to insulate our policy makers from having to grovel to donation sources.
Engeniering representativity for a healthy democracy is amazingly hard, I hope we won't stop searching about it, just as I hope the search on cancer is made to heal us more than to build billion dollar markets... But as you said, acting adults makes the world, the good things and the worst too... I hope today's youngs wont turn too bad ...
@TheBrabon1 They are all idiots and they like crooks. "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." - H. L. Mencken
Co Fa Don't forget this is the guy who closed the beaches in NJ and then took his family to the beach.
I'm a staunch progressive and I'm kind of annoyed at how much I actually like Chris Christie in these interviews lol he's still definitely not a good guy but he's way better than most of the other republicans
Don't fall for charm. Follow the policies.
Charisma and quick, folksy wit got him far. But it didn't make him honest. But....you know.... _we're talking about Jersey here_
He is a man fitted to the soup he swims in. And it's pretty swampy
You're right, but beeing better than most of the other republicans is a really low bar.
Yep. Trump set the likeable bar as low as it gets.
Don't for a second start thinking for yourself. Let the media and your fellow progressive retards decide your opinions for you.
This is actually a super cool conversation.
Bill's always been great at reaching across the aisle and engaging with others who disagree with him. Given the times, that's especially refreshing to see.
I'm a liberal, but kudos to Chris Christie for participating in the interview.
Christie is actually a decent guy.
Let a Conservative do that same joke to a DEM. The media would LOSE THEIR MINDS!!!
Not wrong.
What joke
I love at the end how Bill Maher tells Christie "ya still got it!" hehe
"Let Me Finish"....he's eating leave him alone.
Why so obsessed with his weight? Who the f**k cares?
Christie handled this very well. It shows you how far charm and likeability gets you in politics...it's a fact that Christie's an apologist for Trump, he's defending his corrupt GOP friends, and he's batting aside all these serious questions about how awful his own party is and how unbelievably bad Trump and his supporters are...but he's self-deprecating and funny and charming, so he just glides through this interview.
It's impressive on his part and entertaining to watch, but at the same time it's disturbing that having a strong personality can paper over such huge political cracks.
It's especially disturbing in politics, but I'm disturbed by how having "personality" allows people to gloss over all kinds of severe weaknesses in all aspects of life. Seems especially true in America but maybe that's my own bias. We like "style over substance".
We're really at a very meta level when we get to see these kind of interviews. I don't think CC is a saint, but he's very honest here. That's just how it is.
Him moving his tie every 3 seconds drives me nuts!!
His heavy out of shape breathing keeps moving it to the side !
It's probably an OCD thing
When they started acknowledging the fat jokes first! Damn that’s raw honesty 😂. Not gonna lie their whole conversation was actually decent
Not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed this interview 👏
I always enjoy watching christie. He has airways been a better pundit than a politician.
Christie's a realist politico, he deserves a place in the discussion. Left right, doesn't matter, we as a country need more of this discussion.
Let me finish is a great title of a book when you tell your waiter your still working on the chicken Alfredo
whatever it takes to sell a book.
I usually love Bill Maher, EXCEPT . . . when he won't let the other guy talk. How many times did Christie answer clearly and directly, but Maher cut him off or over-talked him, even when Christie was already agreeing with what Maher was driving at? Sometimes, Bill, ya need to zip it, or at least LISTEN before you jump in.
Maher is a coward and does this whenever he senses he's about to lose an argument or point. He has a history of changing the subject when his "pet" and simple audience is silent when a conservative starts winning, so he quickly changes gears. Soy boy.
Thank you kindly🙏
As a Liberal I have to say that Christie is a pretty sharp Republican. Great Conversation. That's how it's done folks.
I definitely have much more respect for Chris after watching that clip!
David Brewer I just watched it for the first time as well. Well done with both of them. I like Chris
Drinking Game: Every time Christie moves his tie.
Christie is one of the few Repubs who can stand toe to toe with Bill!
Every republican destroys Maher , forgot about Shapiro?
There are many republicans that have stood toe to toe with Maher.
Imagine knowing the jokes against you, and your weight problem, and having this kind of confidence and intelligence and ability to control a conversation with a guy like Bill Maher, in front of live audience and Millions of viewers...This guy is a force to be reckoned with.
This is gonna go down in history as something special
Governor Christie never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
hahahahaha! Too good.
LMFAO
Respect
Did he mention NJ credit rating was downgraded 11 times when he was Gov.
A record to be proud of.
Gov. Chris Christie Awesomeness,Stick on Stones will brae my bones,But Words will never hurt me.We need more people like that.
I respect Governor Christie. He's honest, intelligent, likeable, decent, and upright.
He's a good sport. Well done!
"The american people held him to a different standard"
Yes. A standard like he's the king of a banana republic and that's still an insult to each and every banana republic out there....
"Go Trump....2020"
Love him or hate him...Christie has BALLS!!
This is how a left and right conversation should go USA. Take note.
You gotta love that Bill invited him to watch a Mets game together at the end. Common ground feels good and it always should be what you end a tough discussion on. It shows class.
Bill still has Ann Coulter's high heel footprints all over his face.
Chris Christie looks like every American stereotype in one man...🤦♂️
an many people love him for it. I'm not one, but it is a legitimate appeal.
He looks like every American molded into one man.
This was fun listening to Christie taking the fat joke
Thx Bill
Please explain how you can be accountable without being responsible?
DynaCatlovesme
Good question.
The accountable person is the individual who is ultimately answerable for the activity or decision. This includes “yes” or “no” authority and veto power. Only one accountable person can be assigned to an action. The responsible person is the individual(s) who actually complete the task.
www.workfront.com/blog/accountability-vs-responsibility-in-project-management
@@wesleyaustin6119 Well, in this case, the "responsible people" went to jail, I think, but the "accountable person" seems to have paid no account at all.
You could argue that this torpedoed his political career. So he was politically accountable, even though he wasn't found legally responsible.
@@AlexPryrodny I know that Christie doesn't make that argument, and I don't think anyone could defend it for long.
8:47
We are divided.
Chris Christie has more common sense in this interview then in Trumps entire life, he is very interesting to listen to and is very intelligent.
Bill was right again.
Is eating yourself into Obesity doing something stupid?
He’s a smart guy. I just wish he wasn’t such a bully. The Bridgegate scandal changed my opinion of him.
Yeah his corruption sucked. I liked his personality as governor.
Man I love Bill.
''They may impeach him''
That turned out to be an understatement.
I am still not falling for this guy, unlike others here. Christie is not stupid, he is/was a lawyer, but even as a "classic" republican, he is still dirty. Not stupid like Trump- credit is given there, but there is no way on this planet I'd ever vote for him for whatever he is planning and I'm guessing he is building up for the 2024 election already.
He had potential to do some good things in the way of real government reform in Jersey, only did a little. His record ultimately is that he failed to close the deficits in Jersey while raising a gas tax that affects everyone AND cutting spending... probably the worst result.
I agree totally!!!
FS l totally agree!!!
This guy or trump. Its about the lesser of two evils. If this guy is a piece of shit but to me he is a Saint compared to trump. Yea he will do his dirty shady things just like democrats will also but trump has lowered the standard so much. Just get him out of there. You can't have him for another 4 ywara
What's up with Christie's tie? It keeps drifting to the left.
Caught in the gravitational pull
Fat people problems, why do you think tie pins were invented?
Maybe he will run as a Democrat? :o)
It's trying not to get smothered
It's just following the trend.
Not from states, but i'll always remember how Christie curb stomped Rubio for being a robot and did it without being aggressive, nasty etc.
Christie walked that fine line very very well.
As a Pro-Bernie, all-my-life-progressive, I still have something of a soft spot for Chris Christie. I can't defend it, reasonably I should hate him. I would support John Kasich or Jeb Bush more based on policy, experience, or temperament. But it's there and I can't explain it.
Winston Sullivan I feel with you so much, I think it has 2 reasons: 1. He is just a great actor and deep down in his heart he must be a likeable guy, 2. The conversation isn’t rly about politics, ultimately he just tries to sell his book. Just my oppinion
No you wouldn't. You would hate whatever Republican was president. Stop lying.
@@CollectorsCorner777 I wouldn't what? I said I have a soft spot.
John Kasich should've been running up against Bernie in 2016, truly. This country was done a disservice that it didnt happen.
Jeb Bush would've been horrific though, 9-11 all over again.
Let me finish : that burger.
Never trust a politician but he's a cool guy, at least he makes sense and trying to be honest !
He is faking being honest.
@@NewarkBay357 Yeah after watching him on Fox, I think you're right. He's totally faking it.
Never knew Christie had a funny Sense of humor.
Do you think Chris knows about how much Bill makes fun of his weight lol
As far as republicans go today, Christie should be the standard up there with Kasich. Emphasis on Republicans.
At least from what we see on screen too of course
Christie requires an extreme wide angle camera position- and still he takes up my whole monitor.
Kasich is a clown
If you would have told me before that I whould give this GUY A Thumbs up,But I Did IMPEACH The Orange CHUMP 🤣
Quite surprised Christie seemed logical and has a decenent sense of humor.
Wish he would play that card more often.
He was way more insightful than I expected.
mueller is great. he’s honest. audience applauds. bill agrees. no collision lol
Bill says don't question the FBI ever about anything.
IDK, to presume the CIA and FBI are stellar organizations may be a stretch....
You’re right about that ^^
this guy was brave for going on bill maher. i give him that!
“Garbage in, garbage out!” I’ll always favour garbage out!
With friends like Christy, you certainly wouldn't need enemies. It's good to be self- deprecating, and it's always good to have conversations with people you don't agree with, but it seems like Christy's attitude harbours a few sour grapes. You dont just make up convenient talking points according to who your audience is- you're either someone's friend, or not.
Trump is accountable for the statements made by people he knows?
The crowd cheers. Well, this doesn't go anywhere good.
People in NJ really liked Christie at one point. Especially after Sandy it seemed like he was really taking care of the state. But then his second term he went and fucked it all up by pandering to the radical republicans and defunded transportation in our state and ruined pensions. Poor governor in retrospect and i wouldnt vote for him again but he started off strong.
Chris Christie is the classic example of the Republican party how he represents good example, as a Democrat member I respect him
l love the hard questions and the candid answers.
I used to support this man crispy
That was before he ate my uncle jack lol
Moral core??? Is this the same Bill Maher that defended Bill Clinton?
