Gov. Christie happy to be with you. You are one of the few people that the president listens to on the outside on political matters and i love this article that you were at a come to jesus meeting at the president s golf club with President Trump. How did that go and did the president decide to make any changes with his campaign . Gov.

We staffed the president very effectively. David was it the hardest job you ever had
