Why Did Glenn Change His Mind on Chris Christie in a Matter of Hours?

The political news dominating the headlines on Tuesday and Wednesday hasn’t been about a candidate. In fact, it’s been about a non-candidate: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. That’s because he gave a fiery speech at the Reagan Library on Tuesday night where he blasted Obama but also signaled he would not run for president. It’s been a common theme for about a year — the rumors build that he’s running, and he dashes them.
So on Wednesday morning after hearing the latest news, Glenn Beck had enough. At least for a little bit. See, initially he was upset with Christie and his response, but by the end of the show he changed his mind. Here’s why.
“I’m tired of Chris Christie. I’m tired of this game of Chris Christie, I am,” Beck said at first. “He says he’s not in. Great, let’s take the man at his word. I quite honestly cannot figure out why he’s not in. I don’t know if he has something to hide. I don’t believe this bullcrap that he’s not qualified.
“I think it is a political calculation here that maybe he thinks Obama is unbeatable. Maybe he’s got something in his closet. I don’t know. But the country is on fire, the country is not going to survive this president one more term. It won’t survive this president one more term.”
He added: “I’m done with him. Explain yourself, sir.”
But after listening to more complete audio posted on The Blaze, Beck picked up on something that satisfied his desire for a better explanation. What was it?
“You hear what he said? He didn’t feel called,” Beck explained. “That is an extraordinarily important thing. That is one of the only things that I would accept and leave it alone.”
“If Chris Christie doesn’t feel called now, it means that there’s something else that he’s supposed to do. I don’t know what it is. And it might be something that none of us ever see. But it is important. We’ve all been sent with a task. We’re all supposed to do that task. I hope he’s living his life in such a way that he can hear it and be clear because many of us won’t be clear enough and we will miss our task. And somebody else will do it, but it was your job. It was your job.”
You can watch Beck’s initial response here. His follow-up is posted below:

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 4:32pmIf it’s “the Establishment Republicans” begging him to run, then I’m GLAD Christie is not getting into the race. I PRAY he doesn’t run! We don’t need anymore “Rhino shrills.” I hope Cain can get the nomination. That would put to rest the BS that the Left says about true conservatives (ie we don’t like the color of the current POTUS).

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 5:22pmI like Christie, though I wouldn’t vote for him as President… let’s put that on the table.
Now, Chris Christie‘s stances are more moderate than Romney’s are. Yet so many people, like Glenn were so ready for him to run and vote for him. Yet not Romney.
Perry’s stances are more moderate than Romney, yet people like Glenn, Levin, and Rush we so ready to vote for him. Yet not Romney.
Instead they all tear down Romney, and yet supported him last election to some extent even though RomneyCare was already in play.
WHERE IS THE DISCONNECT?
What are the most important issues of this election… 1) Getting Rid of Obama, 2) Fixing the Economy… Two things Romney speaks strongly on… have you seen his last attack ad on Obama: http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2011/sep/romney_ad_stimulus.html
This is interesting to me and though I haven’t chosen a candidate, this tells a lot about this election… those two issues will be what I am voting on…

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 5:24pmChris Christie is an invaluable asset in New Jersey, but as president? I think many Conservatives/Libertarians will eventually learn that a “Conservative” in New Jersey is not necessarily considered a Conservative in other parts of the nation. He may not be a flip-flopper, but I’m certain that Christie would get the same “Romney treatment” for not being Conservative enough.

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 5:46pmThat’s Right Glenn and you need to support that fact because these EVIL forces will most certainly be pushing him to move against that call. IF they do, he has then sold part of himself that wasn’t supposed to be. Glenn knows this being a recovering alcoholic, as am I. Anytime one is acting on purely their thinking and not a calling, the ulterior forces have a foot in the door. Once you are part of the world, you subject yourself to the temptations of he who is king. Sorry for you non believers, cause I can quite honestly assure you this force is present outside of religious contexts as well. Otherwise, 1,000′s of people would never have gotten sober. Yes, the temptation presented to Jesus is the same, as it is to all of us. He who is grounded in the forces that drive ever human to sustain life, will always take advantage of his brother. AS the lion who would surely kill the starving hyena instead of sharing the extra meat from his kill. We are different, that is, those of us who are part of the spirit. Thos of us who have realized the nature of our spiritual disposition and have come to believe we do not end in death. It is this understanding that cuts the chains holding us to the drives and desires associated with all that is animal in us, particularly, knowledge.

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 9:48pmI hate to state the obvious, but the only reason people want Christie to run is that the current crop of Republicans have either taken positions the TP don’t like, or said so many stupid things they have made fools of themselves or because they’re unelectable. Perry’s cred was from him being conservative and presumably electable, but now that his ship has sunk, the TP is casting about for someone else.
The fact is that the TP won’t be satisfied with anyone unless they are so anti-everything that the unelectable.
I’ve heard Christie talk a few times and he is very likable. But, too bad, he’s smart, reasonable and a moderate. That’s a non-starter for Republicans, and I think he knows it.

I‘m glad he isn’t running for president but he does need to run, especially if he is to be a public leader. Find some discipline Chris and control your weight.
Glenn is putting more into Chris Christie’s mouth in reference to “not being called” then Christie does on buffet night. Glenn is making an excuse to cover for his idiotic pick of Chris Chrisite. Just look, Chris and Glenn disagree on so many issues. That should warn you about following Glenn’s pick of a candidate.
Glenn will not truthfully address Ron Paul because it exposes Glenn’s own progressed views. Those views that are in contradiction to the Constitution and the Founders, especially George Washington in his farewell address. I would have more honor if Glenn would confront these as a man instead of name calling and ridicule like a child. Stand in truth Glenn and explain how Ron Paul isn’t right for our country but why a guy you agree with on nothing is. That’s insane!

That idea alone makes his nomination unlikely, as Republicans move more and more toward the anti-Islam platform of Cain.

None of the candidates have won the confidence of the people of this country. We need the conviction, values, and inner strength of a true leader. Allen West talks frequently of the qualities required for a leader of this country. Remind him that he is describing himself!

“There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.
“There are again two methods of removing the causes of faction: the one, by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interests.
“It could never be more truly said than of the first remedy, that it was worse than the disease. Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency.

“The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government. From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties.”
And your supposition that there is some kind of responsibility to “society” is collectivist, and therefore unConstitutional. INDIVIDUALS are responsible for their own behavior toward themselves; and the courts are there for when they violate the rights of other citizens.

“If the heart and soul of conservatism is truly libertarianism as Reagan argued, then true libertarians and conservatives would have to criticize Reagan’s presidency. He did not, as he promised he would, abolish the Department of Education, but expanded it. He did not, as he promised, reduce the size and influence of the federal establishment back within the limits imposed upon it by the Constitution. He did not lower taxes. He raised them. He did not cut government spending – it doubled on his watch, outpacing the spending increases of Carter and Clinton by large orders of magnitude. Both libertarians and conservatives should criticize these aspects of his presidency. Doing so doesn’t make them less libertarian or conservative.

This is a ***** in the armor, as far as I can tell, so good job. Duly noted.

Also, a respect for other countries’ sovereignty would acknowledge that we have no right to know what is going on in other countries with whom we are not at war.

And then there’s this VERY interesting and disturbing article from a writer on the LewRockwell.com site. I have not verified any of these claims, and would like to know if any other Ron Paul fans can help me out on this.
Obama and His Family Tied to CIA for Years
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/ross-s3.1.1.html
“… Obama’s mother Ann Dunham worked “on behalf of a number of CIA front operations, …”
…
“What’s more, Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr., arrived in Hawaii from Kenya as part of a CIA program to identify and train Africans who would be useful to the Agency in its Cold War operations against the Soviets, Madsen says.”
…
“Obama’s mother taught English for USAID, “which was a major cover for CIA activities in Indonesia and throughout Southeast Asia,” Madsen reports. That USAID was a cover for CIA covert operations in Laos was admitted by its administrator Dr. John Hannah on Metromedia News.”
Keep ‘em coming.

Posted on September 29, 2011 at 4:01amRunning for president is a call only the person running — or not running — can make.
I don’t care who you are, you cannot get upset at someone if they choose not to run–whatever their reason is. For Glenn to say that Christie’s response of “not feeling like he has been called” is the only answer Glenn would accept is a bunch of garbage. Christie doesn’t owe it to ANYONE to run. He could give the reason that he wants to watch soap operas and that answer should be acceptable because regardless of the reason, it’s HIS OWN CHOICE TO MAKE.
Besides, based on the reason, it should be obvious if he’d make a good president. For example: if he did want to watch soap operas, he’d be a lame ass president anyway. If he wants to continue working on NJ, then maybe he’s not ready to lead 300 million people. If he has skeletons in his closet, maybe his character isn’t grounded enough to be president. See regardless of the reason, if there is a reason, then he’s not right for the job.

Do I believe Ron Paul will pick Dennis Kucinich for VP? No
Dennis and Ron both agree the perpetual wars of the US is destroying and bankrupting our Nation. Both call for these to end and to bring our troops home. That’s about as far as their views are the same on major issues.
If you notice in your clip, Dennis is wanting Ron as his VP, not Ron wanting Dennis. Dennis likes Ron’s stance on foreign policy.
Ron has been asked several times because of Dennis making his admiration for Paul public in 2007 and Ron never suggests Dennis will be his pick. Ron is respectful and a diplomat pointing out good qualities in Dennis and how they agree on foreign policy. Ron doesn’t go around insulting people with names like kook or loon like you. Ron has more integrity then that.
Ron Paul understands the biggest threat to our country is the cost of war physically with our troops, financially in it’s bloated costs, and diplomatically thru resentment of overthrowing foreign lands. Sadly, Dennis understands this and you do not. That should tell you something about how you think.
Please, stop your smear campaign against Ron Paul. Quit trying to deceive and manipulate for you seem really desperate.

Posted on September 29, 2011 at 6:51pmThe fiscally responsible Christie is a giant figure on the American political landscape. Just the man to impose some much-needed belt-tightening, and trim the fat from government.
What America needs is a policy-heavy guy like Chris, who will really dig into the weighty issues of the day, take the time to digest them, and offer well-rounded solutions to stimulate real growth.
Nor is he a foreign policy lightweight. Governor Christie’s first priority will be to beef up our defenses. He will reach out to allies like Hungary, Turkey, and Chile.
Brains aren’t enough for this job. You need guts. You need bottom. You need substance. Governor Christie has all that and more. His friends know, when Chris Christie starts something, he finishes it – no matter what gets gets dumped in his plate.
For too long, America has been run by politicians with no self-discipline. Politicians who eat tax dollars as if there were no consequences for our economic health. We need a leaner, more efficient government.
This week Americans were angered to hear how government workers breakfasted on muffins costing $16 each at a Justice Department conference. Governor Christie believes Americans deserve more. When he pays 16 dollars, he expects 16 muffins.
Run, Chris, run.

No. Glenn’s first instinct in the first hour of the show is right. Hey dont get me wrong I like Christie, but only as far as in the short video clips. As far as whether or not he is doing a good job in NJ or is governing the same way he speaks is a totally different issue!!! Im quite concerned of how badly this nation is falling for the Scott Brown Affect with Christie when we really dont have a handle on what he has ACCOMPLISHED! Beck touched on this commenting that maybe Christie is hiding something. I am leaning that way until I hear otherwise based on what I have read from here http://conservativenewjersey.com/chris-christie-a-conservative-myth-intro
I really wish NJ residents would be more vocal and let the nation know how he is doing we cannot afford another Scott Brown. Now dont get me wrong if its Christie vs Obama thats a no brainer Im voting Christie, but I will do it with great concern knowing what I know or until some of the issues pointed out in the blog are put to rest.
I’ve seen some here and elsewhere label Christie as a RINO! Look things are pushed so far true left that a moderate like Christie comes off leaning conservative. Keep in mind he opted out of the multi state obamacare lawsuit, is pro gun control, proclimate change/green technology, amnesty for illegals to name a few. Blaze Im begging you to look into Conservative NJ blog and find out if we have anything to worry about or not.

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 4:15pmNot only pandering to muslims, he has stated that there would not be a coal industry in his state. He likes cap & trade. He is not as conservative as many wish or think he is. Glad he is not running.

Posted on September 28, 2011 at 4:20pmNHwinter, I‘m glad I’m not the only one that’s noticed. The Republican blue bloods are sure trying to make him look like a tried and true conservative but, when you listen to more than his Youtube clips..he’s not what they are telling us he is.

No, he is just not pandering the bigotted nut jobs in the Tea Party.
