And I will not be someone who participates in silently missing that opportunity. I don\u2019t think there should be much disagreement across the country about what those big things are. For us in New Jersey it\u2019s three things: It\u2019s restoring and maintaining fiscal sanity; it\u2019s getting our pension and health benefits under control, reformed and have the costs lowered; and it\u2019s reforming an education system that costs too much and produces too little for our society today and for our children\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Our second bite is Governor Christie on how he dealt with Democrat threats to shut down the New Jersey government.<\/p>\n<p>CHRISTIE: Listen, you guys want to pass an income tax increase, you can. That\u2019s fine. I\u2019m gonna veto it. And if you want to close down the government because of that, that\u2019s fine, but I want to tell you something: I\u2019m not moving any cot into this office and sleeping here. You close down the government, I\u2019m getting in those black SUVs with the troopers; I\u2019m going to the governor\u2019s residence. I\u2019m gonna go upstairs, I\u2019m gonna open a beer, I\u2019m gonna order a pizza, I\u2019m gonna watch the Mets.<\/p>\n<p>AUDIENCE: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CHRISTIE: And when you decide to reopen the government, gimme a call and I\u2019ll come back.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie how he told the Democrats he would deal with a government shutdown that they brought about. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Chris Christie said that he would order a pizza and watch the Mets if the New Jersey government gets shut down. That\u2019s what Clinton did. That\u2019s what Clinton did, and it was Monica Lewinsky delivering the pizza.
