Matt Lauer sat down with Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, earlier today to talk about the state's economy. Somehow, the conversation changed and the elected official shared his harsh feelings on the Jersey Shore kids.

When Lauer suggests that the popular MTV show is boosting New Jersey's economy, the Governor responds "yeah, listen, we'll find other ways to increase tourism. We'll take Snooki and The Situation and you can have them back."
