Chris Christie on POT: "I will crack down and not permit it."
Hew Hewitt: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie joined me to open the show today:
HH: On domestic law, you were a United States prosecutor for a long time.
CC: Yes, sir.
HH: Right now, we’ve got the states of Colorado and Washington flaunting federal law by allowing people to sell dope legally. If you’re the president of the United States, are you going to enforce the federal drug laws in those states?
CC: Absolutely. I will crack down and not permit it.
HH: All right, next…
CC: Marijuana is a gateway drug. We have an enormous addiction problem in this country. And we need to send very clear leadership from the White House on down through the federal law enforcement. Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law. And the states should not be permitted to sell it and profit from it.
HH: And I’ve been telling Republicans they can’t yell at the President about not enforcing the immigration laws and then advocate not enforcing the drug laws. It doesn’t make sense. If the law’s on the book, they’ve got to be enforced. I’ve also been asking people about the Putin primary. It’s the primary of one, meaning who would the Russian president least like to see as the president of the United States because he’ll be standing up to him?
CC: (laughing)
CC: Yes, sir.
