THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

[07:00:00]

UNKNOWN: I believe in second chances. He has the highest motivation to ensure that his legacy is not defined by a picture in his yearbook.

UKNOWN: And there it is. The dynasty continues.

ROB GRONKOWSKI, PARTIOTS FOOTBALL PLAYER: The hard work we put in this year was -- just paid off this year.

UNKNOWN: It was unreal. I mean, it was like a home game.

UNKNOWN: This is New Day with Alisyn Camerota and Tom Berman.

JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: All right, good morning and welcome to your new day. Alisyn is off, Poppy Harlow is with me, regretting it already.

POPPY HARLOW, CNN ANCHOR: And Berman cannot stop smiling. Let me tell you.

BERMAN: It's hard. All right, six and counting. Oh, you're going to hate me even more for saying that. The New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl, a 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. It was the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever and it felt like it. Patriots receiver, Julian Edelman, he was the game MVP. We're going to have much more, much more on this big historic game in just a moment.

But first, the State of Union address, it's tomorrow. A new CNN poll just released shows where the president stands with the American people. President Trump's approval rating is now at 40 percent. It's up slightly from last month, but still not good and Americans are not confident the president can avoid another shutdown.

Only 34 percent believe President Trump and Congress will be able to reach a funding deal by next Friday's deadline. And, when it comes to the president declaring a national emergency to build a wall, two out of three Americans say he should not do it.

HARLOW: Also this morning, in battled (ph) Virginia Governor, Ralph Northam, will meet with his Cabinet in about two hours as calls for him to resign grow louder and louder over that racist yearbook photo.

Well, last night, he held an urgent meeting with several senior staff members of color and a source tells CNN no one in that meeting urged him to stay and fight.

BERMAN: All right, joining me now is the former Republican Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. He's a long-time friend of the presidents and an author of a new book, "Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey and the power of In-Your-Face Politics."

Governor, thank you so much for being with us. You brought a copy of your book. I left my ear marked copy down in my office, but it's terrific to see you and congratulations on your Super Bowl.

CHRIS CHRISTIE, FORMER GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY: Thanks for having me guys, appreciate it.

BERMAN: So, I want to start with Ralph Northam, the Governor of Virginia. You faced your own scandals and issues when you were governor, vastly different.

CHRISTIE: Yes.

BERMAN: But, what does it feel like to be in this type of moment where everyone is looking at you?

CHRISTIE: Well, I think it's hard, no matter what. You're human and nobody likes to be going through stuff like this. Now, the difference here is that he has no sense, it seems to me, of what the truth is.

I mean, we've heard two or three different versions of the truth so far from him. That maybe it was him, now maybe it wasn't him and I think that the biggest challenge in a situation like this is, if you don't know what the truth is you've got to go find it out and then you've got to present it to people immediately if you want to try def credibility with people you represent.

And I think the biggest problem for the governor right now, beside the incident itself, is his reaction to the incident, which is to be all over the place and I don't -- I quite frankly don't think he's going to be able to survive this for two reasons.

One, because of his own conduct and two, because the Democratic Party, I don't think as a whole, can deal with going into a presidential year having to answer this question over and over and over again.

BERMAN: I want to get to that second point, but just go back to the first one, the issue here is for people who haven't attention to this Friday, is there is a racist photo on his medical school yearbook page. At first he apologized for it, then the day later he said it wasn't him in it. Does it matter, at this point, if it's him in it?

CHRISTIE: Well, it does matter if it's him in it, but I think because of his varying answers, you're right, it almost doesn't matter. Here's the think people can't believe. People can't believe it's on his yearbook page and he doesn't know whether it's him or not. Now, if he had said right from the beginning, it's not me, I used the picture, it was awful judgment and I'm sorry, or it is me and here's why I did it.

Either one of those could be answers that he could try to deal with potentially. Here's the problem though, you can't say you don't know -- you put the picture on your yearbook page, how do you not know.

BERMAN: It's possible he's saying there were a lot of mix-ups with photos in the yearbook, but still, the question of how do you not know if that's you in a picture no matter how many years later. It's hard to believe that.

CHRISTIE: Well, just how about this though for a second? If it were me ...

BERMAN: Yes.

CHRISTIE: ... and all of a sudden there's a mix-up and that photo shows up on my yearbook page, I'd be screaming from the mountaintops, hold on, that's disgusting, I'm not going to do that. That does -- that's not me, so.

BERMAN: You brought up the Democrats, the Democrats not being able to handle this or wanting this as they head into 2020. Is there a different standard though, in the Democratic Party, when it deals with members of it's party that have scandals, issues, of race or sexism or harassment?

Al Franken was forced out of the Senate, yet Donald Trump, with the "Access Hollywood" tape stayed in the campaign and he's now President of the United States. Steve King is still in Congress. Do Democrats have a zero tolerance policy and Republicans have a somewhat not zero tolerance policy?

CHRISTIE: I don't think that's it.

[07:05:00]

I think it's more the circumstances of each one of those cases. I think if you spoke to Senator Franken today, he would say to you, he wishes he hadn't resigned. That he acted precipitously. And I think he would react differently than the way he did before.

I think the difference here is that the Democrats have been very, very aggressively, rhetorically, against the president on issues of race going all the way back to Charlottesville. I think that was appropriate.

I spoke out at the time of Charlottesville and said that I thought that the president's remarks were not acceptable. But when you do that, people in your business are going to be looking for hypocrisy and so they're worried about -- and appropriately so, and so I think Democrats, now, having down what they have done and I don't think they regret what they've done, but now they're going to have to apply the same standard to the Governor of Virginia and I think -- that's I don't think he can survive this. BERMAN: New polling out today from CNN and in advance to the State of

the Union address tomorrow night, the president's approval rating is at 40 percent, but there's some other numbers here that jump out as well. Forty-three percent of the people in this poll say it's the worst run government ever, like in their lifetime, 43 percent say the worst run government ever, 47 percent strongly disapprove the president. Those are very high, strong, don't like numbers.

CHRISTIE: Sure, and here's the thing, let's divide -- let's split them up. On the 47 that don't approve, strongly disapprove of his presidency, that's not surprising to me. The fact is, this has been a very divided country. It was divided during the election and the run up to the election and nothing that's happened since then, in the last two years, has brought the country any closer together.

BERMAN: Nothing that's happened, nothing that he's done, is that fair to say?

CHRISTIE: Well, I think -- he's the president, so nothing that he's done or quite frankly nothing that the Congress has done on either side of the aisle, Republican or Democrat. Now, on the other issue though, I think on the worst run, that's what we address in the book.

The fact is that, it could have been different for the president and it could have been better, but people around him, Steven Bannon, Rick Dearborn, Jared Kushner, throughout a transition plan that 140 people worked on for six months, put me out of it, 140 people worked on for six months and they decided to run a transition from the back of an envelop for 71 days.

This was an awful disservice to the president and an awful disservice to the country and it's indicated by the way it's been run and the president has been trying to recover from that ever since then.

BERMAN: Your write about it extensively in your book, but that's all in the past tense, let's talk about the present tense. Because Maggie Haberman and others or all (ph) reporters are saying that Jared Kushner is acting as a defacto Chief of Staff, that his power has never been greater inside this White House. You're very critical of him in the book. Do you think that's a dangerous situation for the president?

CHRISTIE: Listen, I think that the president, it's always difficult and that's why it very rarely happen when you family in official positions. Families have always been informal advisors to presidents and really since Bobby Kennedy, we haven't had this situation where a family member has had such an important position as both Jared and Ivanka hold in the White House.

The problem is, if they do something wrong it's hard to fire people that you've got to have Thanksgiving dinner with, right? And on the other hand too, people inside the White House, also, are going to be deferring to them because they know -- they know that they get the last word.

They're the one in the residence, they're the ones going to Mar-A-Lago on the weekends or to Bedminster, New Jersey, and so these are difficult things that I think the president has to -- has looked at this. He's got to understand how that's affecting the ability to get good advice from other people.

BERMAN: If he is the one running things right now, is he doing a good job? If he was running things during the shutdown, is Kushner doing a good job?

CHRISTIE: Well listen, the shutdown was a failure and there's not other way to put it. When the government is shutdown that's a failure and that's why I don't think I saw the number about whether the government will be shutdown again.

I just don't believe the Republicans or the Democrats can afford to shutdown the government again, and this time the Democrats are going to own more of it than they did the last time.

The president said he wanted to own it the last time. Once that happened it gives the Democrats a free pass to do whatever they wanted to. Now, the Democrats, if this gets closed again, both sides are going to take a hit on this.

So, I think there's going to be one of two alternatives, either they're going to come to a deal by Friday, or if they don't they're going to have a funding deal that's going to continue to move forward, of some length of time, and the president is probably going to go for a national emergency to build the wall.

BERMAN: Do you think suggesting the shutdown is still on the table? You said, the shutdown was a terrible idea and you blamed him for it ...

CHRISTIE: Right.

BERMAN: ... or for saying that he was going to own it before hand. Do you think telling Margaret Brennan over the weekend that, yes, I still might shutdown again is a good strategy?

CHRISTIE: Well, I think you have to do that to keep that on the table as part of your negotiations, but I think everybody realistically knows in the back of their mind that it's not going to happen.

And I don't that Republicans in the Senate would permit it to happen, even if the president wanted to. The president would then have to defy Republicans in the Senate and Democrats in the House. I just don't think he's going to do that, because I don't think it's practical and I don't think it will get him what he wants ultimately.

[07:10:00]

Now, the national emergency thing, you know, is a real jump ball in terms of the legal strategy and whether or not a court will endorse his ability to do that. But, the fact of the matter is, the Democrats, I think, are playing this one, in the second phase, wrong if they don't give the president something. I worked with the Democratic legislature for eight years, what I learned was, in a tough negotiation, everyone's got to win. If everybody doesn't win something, then it damages the relationship going forward and you're never getting anything done.

BERMAN: The Conference Committee is meeting. We don't know what they're going to come up with right now.

CHRISTIE: Yes.

BERMAN: Maybe they will come up with something. Axios has a heck of a report that they put this weekend, where someone leaked the president's schedules for months and months and months.

There are several aspects of this that they're worth diving into, but one thing is, the sheer amount of executive time, 297 hours of executive time compared to 77 hours of meetings, 51 hours of travel, this is from November 7 to February 1, 2019. Two hundred and ninety seven hours of executive time, is that too much?

CHRISTIE: It depends on what he's doing in executive time, okay? So, if he's watching you guys.

BERMAN: Which he is. You know he's doing that a lot.

CHRISTIE: Well, I know he's doing some of that. If he's watching you guys exclusively, that's too much time and I would tell him to turn off the TV and not -- no offence, but not watch you guys that much. I think he's also spending a lot of time on the phone consulting with people during that time. I know that I speak to him often during that executive time, period.

He's talking to lots of different people, gathering opinions and ideas, and he's most comfortable doing that without exposing on his calendar exactly who he's speaking to. That's certainly his right to do it. So, it depend on what he's doing in that executive time and I think if he's making it productive for him, to be able make decisions, we're not asking presidents to punch a time clock.

BERMAN: No.

CHRISTIE: They're on duty all the time, no matter what. And I think it depends on what the president's using the time for.

BERMAN: Yes or no, is he working hard enough and putting in the hours that he needs to, to understand the issues?

CHRISTIE: Oh yes, yes. Listen, there's no one who, I think, who knows him is ever going to accurse President Trump of now working hard enough. He's a hard worker.

BERMAN: All right, Governor Chris Christie is going to stick around to talk a little bit more. Some of the questions I have, are what does it say to you that someone leaked these schedules? Hold onto that answer. And also, I have some new questions for you about the timeline of the

revelations about the president's relationship with Russia and I want to go back to some of those moments in the presidential campaign. So, stick around. More of Chris Christie in just a moment.

HARLOW: Yes, fascinating interview so far, but this is the only thing we would interrupt if for, of course, and that is a big win for the Patriots, and of course J.B., who can't stop smiling this morning. The Patriots winning their, record, sixth Super Bowl. Coy Wire live in Atlanta with more. Kind of a snoozer for a lot of folks, but not this guy.

COY WIRE, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: I like what you said before, the snoozer bowl, a lot of people saying that. And Poppy, I played against Tom Brady and the Patriots twice a year, every year for six years of my NFL career. So, despite Brady not throwing a single touchdown pass and they still find a way win, not a surprise.

Now the game did not start off well for the Patriots or with Tom Brady. On his very first pass attempt it would be an interception, a tipped pass and that would kind of set the tone for the game. Great defense, not a lot of scoring.

It was just three to three in the fourth quarter for the first time in Super Bowl century and here's the play of the game. Tom Brady sees Gronk in man-to-man coverage, I'll take it he says, gave the Pats a spark. That set up Sony Michel, who lost the college national championship on this very same field just a year ago, scoring the only touchdown in the Super Bowl, putting the Pats up 10 to 3.

Just about four minutes to go though, young Jared Goff has a chance to tie it up. Great pass to Brandin Cooks, but look at the defense, Cook can't haul it in. One more chance for young Goff to prove he can beat Tom Brady too and bring his team back. But no, Stephon Gilmore with the interception, he's no Tom Brady, 13 to 3 is your final. Julian Edelman is your MVP. Tom Brady wins his sixth Super Bowl. That's a record.

I caught up with big Gronk afterwards and asked him about crunch time and about his possible retirement.

(CHEERING)

Gronk, how does it feel as it goes by?

GRONKOWSKI: Unreal man. This is surreal.

WIRE: Your third time.

GRONKOWSKI: Third time. This is crazy man, crazy. This is the hard work we put in this year, was this paid off for sure.

WIRE: All right, John, I did ask him about it. He said, just think about a week or two. I know you're hoping Gronk comes back, because he's a heck of a player for them and the heartbeat and soul of that team. Congrats to you, John Berman, on yet another victory for your team.

BERMAN: I just Rob Gronkowski to be happy, which is, about 130 percent of the time.

WIRE: He always is happy.

BERMAN: So, whatever he does he's going to be happy. Coy Wire, great to have you down in Atlanta. Thanks so much.

We're going to much more with former New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[07:15:00]

BERMAN: All right, back with us now, former Republican Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. The author of the new book, "Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey and the Power of In- Your-Face Politics."

Axios has this big report about the president's schedule and the amount of time he spends watching TV or in executive time. For getting the substance of it, what does it tell you, that someone leaked hundreds of day's worth of schedules here? What does it tell you about the people who surround the president?

CHRISTIE: Well, it's kind of what I say in the book. It's just unacceptable. It's gotten better than it was the first six to nine months, but there are still problems and I said last week, it's not only that some of the people around the president still don't understand how government works and how the city works, but he also doesn't have enough people around him that are really experienced in government, and I think this kind of thing has got to be disturbing.

[07:20:00]

I mean, I know the president very well, we've been friends for 17 years, I am confident he is really hot today about this leaking of his schedules.

BERMAN: I want to take you back, in the way-back machine, to October 28, 2015, which happened to be the day of the third Republican Presidential Debate in the 2016 year. It was also the day that the president signed a letter of intent to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Now, the project never went through, but we know that Michael Cohen and others were working on it well longer than we had ever been told during the campaign. I've just been so curious, as a candidate, what would you have done, had you known that another candidate on that stage with you was doing business with Russia? Literally, doing business with Russia, Michael Cohen talking to Vladamir Putin's aids.

CHRISTIE: Well, it's hard to tell, but I would say this, we probably, except for, then Donald Trump the candidate, we probably all got, as you will remember, maybe four or five minutes to talk and that with 10 of up there. Would it have made it in? My guess is, someone would have talked about during their four to five minutes.

Would I have talked about it? It probably didn't fit in with what I wanted to say, but I'll tell you this, someone would have said something about it, because everybody was looking for a way to get into the debate directly with Donald because he was the frontrunner.

BERMAN: Do you think America should have know, or would it have been an interest to Republican voters to know that the leading presidential candidate, which he was almost the entire time, of the Republican Party, again, had financial interest with Russia?

CHRISTIE: Given everything else that was going on then, I don't know how far it would have risen on the list. At that time, in October of 2015, I think everybody's biggest concern was ISIS and there were terror attacks going on around the world. ISIS was on the rise and as I remember that October debate, everybody was focused on the terrorist threat, the renewed terrorist threat.

So, listen, you can't -- unfortunately we can't put ourselves in the way-back machine and get our mindset back to where it was, but what I -- like I'll stand by what I said before, my guess is that someone would have said something about it in the four to five minutes they had to speak on that stage, but that was the most difficult part about it as you recall.

BERMAN: I get it. I get it.

CHRISTIE: We had almost no time to talk and most of it was spent with the folks on the panel going after Donald Trump for one thing or another.

BERMAN: It's true, it's hard for me to believe thought that you or someone else would not have brought it up.

CHRISTIE: Or a journalist might have brought it up ...

BERMAN: Yes.

CHRISTIE: ... on the panel. There's no doubt that it would have -- it could have been a topic. I don't know how important it would have been, because now we're looking it at in retrospect with everything else that's gone on and it's hard for me to tell.

BERMAN: You have said, you want to see the results of the Mueller report.

CHRISTIE: Yes.

BERMAN: You saw no evidence of collusion yourself.

CHRISTIE: No.

BERMAN: Why have so many people close to the president lied about their contacts with Russia?

CHRISTIE: I think bad people and stupid people lie. I saw it all the time when I was U.S. Attorney. That people who are not good people or people who are dumb lie for some reason, sometimes lie for no reason at all.

What I've said about the Mueller report is and about Bob Mueller is, I worked with him for seven years when I was U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. I always found him to be a guy who was honest, had integrity and was an assassin. I mean, he was a guy who went at the facts hard and gave no one any quarter.

And so, I think that this report will tell us exactly everything we need to know that can be discovered and I have confidence in him that he'll do it the right way.

BERMAN: You said bad people lie, stupid people lie.

CHRISTIE: Yes.

BERMAN: The president has lied, repeatedly, about aspects now tied to this investigation, whether it be the payments to Stormy Daniels, whether it be the timing of statements that were made explaining the way the Trump Tower meeting that Don, Jr. had, are you putting him in that category?

CHRISTIE: No, I think on the Stormy Daniels stuff, we've seen that before in American politics.

BERMAN: It's a lie.

CHRISTIE: But well -- listen, but we've seen it before in American politics, whether it's from President Clinton or John Edwards, when folks get involved in things that are sexual in nature, that are outside of their marriage, they tend to lie.

BERMAN: They lie ...

CHRISTIE: We've seen that with President Clinton, we saw it with John Edwards and so I don't think this is anything unusual.

BERMAN: The White House lied, now whether the White House spread a lie about whether the president dictated the response to the "New York Times" about the Trump Tower and Junior meeting. It came out months later that the lawyers for the president put in a memo to Robert Mueller the president did dictate that.

So again, either the president lied to the White House or the White House lied about it. Again, you just said bad people lie, stupid people lie.

CHRISTIE: Well, and that's in -- well and my response to that, that answer, was on the people that you're talking about who have gotten caught up in lies, whether it's Rick Gates or Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen or -- I mean, these are not Michael Flynn. I write in the book pretty extensively ...

BERMAN: All bad people? All bad people?

[07:25:00]

CHRISTIE: Yes. All of them are bad and I write about that in the book. I mean, I was throwing my body between Michael Flynn and then candidate Trump, trying to tell him, this is a guy -- and the last conversation we had before I got fired was me saying to him, you can not pick this guy as National Security Advisor. He said, oh, you just don't like him. I said, you're right, I don't like him because he's going to get you in trouble.

And I think that the experience that I had as an executive tells you that you can't mistakes on personnel. I made one or two and it was a huge problem. And that's out of probably 3,000 people that I put into jobs over eight years. You make one or two mistakes, depending upon how those mistakes play out, and what those people do, it can really cost you. So, I came into the transition planning with that as a huge item on the top of the list because I've experienced it.

Everything I've tried to tell the president, and I tell him personally and I say in this book, is based upon my experience in both things that went really well for me and things that didn't go so well.

BERMAN: Twenty-twenty, you think another Republican should get in the race? Larry Hogan, who's a friend of yours, Governor of Maryland, you guys share like a lot of the same ...

CHRISTIE: We do.

BERMAN: ... political advisors. He hasn't ruled it out.

CHRISTIE: Yes, no, listen, I don't think Larry will do it. It's my sense and here's why, Larry is a really smart politician and right now among Republicans, the last poll I saw that isolated Republicans had the president at about an 81 percent job approval. That doesn't leave you a lot of room to do anything. And so, unless those numbers were to change, I wouldn't see Larry doing anything because Larry is a smart politician.

He isn't the second Republican in Maryland history to get re-elected governor because he's dumb. Larry is really smart, he's a good politician and he's a good person. If he wants to do it, he will also look at the political viability of it and I don't think there is a politically viable path right now to challenge the president.

BERMAN: What about former Ohio Governor John Kasich, of whom you write, not at all glowingly, in your book?

CHRISTIE: Well, I don't think anybody would write glowingly about John, if they told the truth. And again, I just told the stories and you see now, I mean, this books been out over a week, no one has said anything that I've written in here has been untrue.

But if -- John may run, but if John runs it will be purely a vanity exercise. It won't be because anyone thinks he can really win. And again, I think the president is going to be the Republican nominee because he has the support of the lion share of the Republican primary voters. It doesn't mean that there won't be a really challenging general

election for the president like there was in 2016, we'll see who the Democrats come up with and how it goes.

BERMAN: You write extensively, also, about the fact that you might have been the vice presidential pick for Donald Trump. And you've said you would be a much different vice president than Mike Pence is at this point.

CHRISTIE: Sure.

BERMAN: I don't if we have the picture of it, where he was sitting in that meeting that the president had with Schumer and Pelosi, but like sphinx, just sitting there not saying anything at all. There he is, right there. Is that you would handle these moments in those meetings?

CHRISTIE: Well, in those moments, I don't think there's much different you can do, right? I mean, I think if the president is pushing forward and dominating the meeting, you are the vice president, my difference with Mike is personality difference, right? I mean, I'm a little more assertive that Mike is, I'm a little more outspoken than Mike is, and Mike's a friend of mine, I like him a lot, but we're just very different personalities.

I think where we would differ is what happens behind the scenes. I don't think you can do it in front of the camera, you can't be a vice president who's going be disloyal in front of the camera with the president sitting right there and say, wait a second, let me weigh in on this.

Your time to weigh in is both before that meeting and after the meeting and what I would have said to the president before the meeting was, whatever you do, don't say you'll take responsibility for any shutdown. Because once you do that, you are painted into a corner and they are just going to let the thing shutdown and let you own it. Don't do that. Let them share the responsibility of it.

Talk about how they are as just as responsible if they run one of the House's of Congress about whether a government stays open or closes down and I would have done that very assertively given my experience as governor, because I had a Democratic legislature, as I said before, so every year there was talk of this, but we always found a way to get it done.

BERMAN: Governor Chris Christie, it's been a pleasure to speak with you. The book is "Let Me Finish," now available in bookstores.

CHRISTIE: Thanks John. I love -- it's not only the jersey on your side, it's the tie as well, with a Red Sox tie this morning, the Brady jersey on the back of the chair.

BERMAN: Yes.

CHRISTIE: And you know what? If I were you, I would be doing exactly the same thing. BERMAN: No question.

CHRISTIE: What a great morning for you. Congratulations.

HARLOW: Look up gloating in the dictionary.

CHRISTIE: Yes, that's it.

HARLOW: I would too.

CHRISTIE: Why not?

HARLOW: I would too.

CHRISTIE: Long football season, you know winning is winning, baby, that's what we're all in this for.

HARLOW: Totally.

BERMAN: I don't have many mornings I can do this, and by that I mean only about once a year, every year.

CHRISTIE: Oh yes, and 12 championships up in Boston in the recent five.

BERMAN: Governor, I appreciate. Thank you.

CHRISTIE: Thanks John. Thanks Poppy.

HARLOW: Nice to have you Governor, and congrats on the book.

All right, so if you haven't heard by now, for the sixth time, the New England Patriots are Super Bowl champions.

[07:30:00]
