governor chris christie, republican of new jersey in trenton, new jersey, today at 1:00 p.m. eastern (bleep) hole time making a stunning announcement. >> . >> what i've always felt was the right decision remains the right decision today. now is not my time. the answer was never anything but no. >> jon: oh, my god, chris christie 2012! chris... wait. what? (laughter) no? oh. well, having said he wasn't going to run in private, having said it on the television, having said it to print reporters, having tagged it on what can only be described as a condemned trenton building... (laughter). having demonstrated his position while attending a devils game. (laughter) who pays for preseason games? it's over. finally christie could proceed with the press conference dedicated to more pressing issues. >> what i said was i'd reconsider my no and i did. but the no never changed. i can't emphasize this enough. if you're looking for something else, it's not there. it's a no. no. because i said no. i don't want to leave this job. i've spoken to a lot of people this morning and told them the a

eastern time in the state capitol of trenton.didn't really announce the topic but everybody knows what it is going to be. they're waiting to hear whether or not he will run for president which he said all along he would not. in fact he cited a whole conglomeration of appearances that he made that have been put together by split co-at one point. watch that if you want to know. but he gave the speech at reagan library. was implord by henry kissinger and nancy reagan and others. so there has been a lot of talk over the last few days. we'll talk about this for a moment. the feeling seems to be this is a no. and we don't know that yet. but that is sort of what seems to be in the bloodstream right now. the fact that it has been sort of hastily called. it is 1:00 and megyn kelly will have that live when that happens. that, it is a no. there were some rumors circulating or things out there that they had asked some donors to be ready to be in trenton on thursday. that perhaps that would be a yes. but the fact that it is today it seems to

he addressed this in trenton this week.ou know, to say that because you're overweight are you, therefore, undisciplined -- you know, i don't think undisciplined people get to achieve great positions in our society. so that kind of stuff is just ignorant. and the people who wrote it are ignort ignorant people. >> he pushed hard. >> he did push hard. what reporters were saying when they talk good chris christie's weight, was that running for president in as in some ways trying to elect a movie star. we elect people who look a certain way, have a certain weight. voting is an aspirational act where you vote for somebody who you think in some ways is better than you, even though we say we want the guy next door, we usually elect the harvard guy, yale guy. the guy with a great last name. >> and great hair. not too many bald presidents. it seems like a sideshow -- >> we did -- >> somebody agrees with me. >> this is an idea about milk, it should not be about weight. the media focuses on superficialits. and christie was right, the c

jim acosta is on the phone now headed to trenton. christie said no at first but then he kept us guessing. what do you think were the deciding factors? >> reporter: well, i'm on the train right now heading up to trenton, so forgive me if this call drops in route. but sources are telling multiple news outlets, including cnn, that governor christy has decided not to run for president, so let's just put that out there first. but having said all of that, remember this is chris christie that we're talking about here. he has scheduled this press conference at 1:00 this afternoon. i think we probably ought to wait and hear what the the governor has to say. he is a very unpredictable politician and he doesn't play by normal rules of washington conventional wisdom. he has said repeatedly that he's not running for president. and then at the reagan library seemed to change things. all the emotional pleas from the and you had urging governor christie to run. but now it appears if the sources are correct that governor christie is indeed not gettin

a lot of people would suggest, well, if he's doing it in tr trenton, he's doing it very quickly, that usually probably wouldn't indicate that he would be running, but we just don't know. we know there is a lot of pressure because some of the primaries that have been moved up. >>> the other big story we have been following, amanda knox. well, she's heading home right now. in fact, she just arrived in london after boarding a plane in rome. we're getting new details about what happened on that trip. knox's trip coming one day after an italian court overturned her murder conviction and that of her ex-boyfriend, raffaele sollecito. she practically collapsed knowing she would soon be home with her family for the first time in four years. nbc's stephanie gosk, what have you learned about her flight so far? >> reporter: good morning, chris. well, it's not entirely surprising that the family has gotten amanda out of italy as quickly as possible. they boarded a flight out of rome this morning. she was with her sister, her mother and her stepfather. that flight then went on to london. according
