the whole administration went to hell essentially. he's saying he had all these great ideas and great people trump could have surround himself with, but because kushner had this grudge against him, the result was that all the good ideas that christie presented were thrown in the trash literally. christie says that kushner and his crew threw out binders filled with information and transition team materials when firing christie. and then they surrounded themselves with what christie describes as a bunch of drifters. he says that's why things in the administration have not always gone so well. it's because that christie was pushed aside by kushner's old grudge and everybody else filled that vacuum. >> one of the things that was fascinating today is chris christie talked about how the president called him and apologized. those aren't stories we hear about the president very often. why do you think he's telling that story?
