Best of the Program | Guest: Austin Knudsen | 12/2/22

Only Murders in the Building, season five.

The hit Hulu original is back.

The Nightbuster died.

He was talking with a smobster.

Was he killed in a hit?

We need to go face to face with the mob.

Get ready for a season.

Buonziona signore.

This is how I die.

You can't refuse.

You're gonna save the day, like you always do, by being smart, sharp, and almost always find mistakes.

The Hulu Original series: Only Murders in the Building.

Premieres September 9th, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers.

Terms apply.

New episodes Tuesdays.

So here's an upside.

Today we didn't talk about the apocalypse

or any of the four horsemen.

We referenced it and we did talk about the Holocaust a decent amount.

But other than that, it was an upside

show.

Okay, every show involves the Holocaust.

I can't take that up.

What would we talk about?

What would we talk about?

God bless Kanye for bringing up the Holocaust didn't happen.

Oh,

really?

Are we still there?

Is there ever going to be a time with apparently?

I'm sorry.

We lost Goebbels.

Oh, too soon.

Too soon.

No, no, no, not too soon.

So that's about as tasty as the new Mountain Dew fruit cake flavored.

Yeah, fruit quake, technically, Glenn.

But it is fruit quake.

They're trying to go for fruit cake.

Yes.

They're just being fancy with the name.

And Glenn actually tried this.

It was an interesting experience.

I feel like it's almost like it has the arc of a movie where like there's parts where you're on the edge of your seat.

There's there's parts where you think you might die,

there's parts where, hey, this is actually not that bad.

You kind of go through the whole story arc with one set.

You walk out and you're like, that was horrible.

Well, why did we see that?

We spent money on it.

Oh, that and so much more of Friday's podcast.

Here it is.

You're listening to

the best of the Blanpeck program.

Well, hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Oh,

oh, my.

Oh,

interesting days we live in.

It is interesting days.

They are.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Seeing things didn't think I'd see.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So,

Kanye,

uh-huh.

Can we just begin this with

this, what you're watching is somebody who is bipolar and on an extreme, crazy high.

You go through manic states.

Yes.

I've had relatives that have gone through this and go through.

It's dangerous.

Manic states where you believe all sorts of crazy things and believe it to your core

for a week.

And then you change.

And I mean, it's

bad.

This is full-fledged mental health crisis, you're watching in action.

And

that's the first thing that everyone should be saying on this.

That's not what they're doing because they'll play politics and everything else.

But we should have great compassion and point it out to our relatives.

That's what mental illness looks like.

No, he's just a bigot.

That's what mental illness looks like.

Now, he's also a bigot.

And that is all.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go there, at least at this time.

Now, he, you know, would I be completely stunned if he goes somewhere, gets on some medication, starts to feel better, and then starts saying, oh my God, I can't believe I said that stuff?

Sure, it's possible.

Whether that's true or not, it's impossible to know.

The bottom line is, you know, once you cross lines like he has been crossing.

Oh, yesterday was kind of the end.

It was the end of career.

And I mean, this, this one,

this one's it.

This is it.

It's hard to talk you know.

Is there another place to go?

Once you start saying I like Hitler, you kind of don't necessarily have when you're on InfoWars with Alex Jones and Alex is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's crazy.

This is the best I've ever seen Alex Jones look.

He was by far the most sane person in the room.

He looked like Barack Obama in that room.

You know what I mean?

It was crazy.

It was a weird moment.

Weird moment.

And, you know, again, this is, we have, I know, some of the audio, maybe we can play.

If you haven't heard it yet, it's a little muffled because he's got a mask over his face.

Okay, again, not a mental illness.

Yeah, not a COVID mask, but like if you were to put

a winter hat and pull it all the way down to your neck, that's basically what you looked at.

If you were wearing a hoodie.

Yes, backwards.

That's what it looked like.

Okay, you didn't, I mean, I think Kanye could eventually come out and go, that wasn't me.

You're right.

I honestly wonder, is this his theory here?

He's going to say all this stuff and people are going to blame him and then he's going to say, that wasn't even me.

Yeah.

Well,

here he is

yesterday.

I like Hitler.

Cut four.

I like Hitler.

I don't like Hitler.

And I know you're trying to be shocking with that.

I'm not trying to be shocking.

I like Hitler.

I do not.

The Holocaust.

is not what happened.

Let's look at the facts of that.

And Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities.

Okay, stop for a second.

Okay, let's just take that apart first.

I know there's more, but we'll get back to it.

I like Hitler.

The Holocaust never happened.

Okay,

done.

Oh, done.

Done.

Done with anyone who is sane.

Anyone who, yeah, he didn't kill six million.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

He does say that later on,

that they didn't kill six million.

Right, I know.

We've got it to get there.

Yeah.

But I'm, for me, that's the point that I say, excuse me.

Right.

Could you just go deeper to that?

And then I excuse him from the studio.

Okay.

I mean, that's the ravings of an absolute madman.

Yeah.

Now, and look, there are millions of people who believe this, followers of Louis Farrakhan, followers of black Israelite ideology.

There's a lot of people out there.

And, you know, there are many of them seem to be congregated among the celebrity culture,

with athletes

singers comedians there's a there's a real underlying problem here that Kanye West is just at the tip of yeah but he's the only one going this far and saying this stuff like this and I prefer knowing I prefer knowing I prefer knowing I mean I'm glad he said it because I'm like okay okay not I'm not in the same boat with him my only concern my because normally I would say like if you if you want to put on somebody who's going to talk like this you know, I want to know who they are.

And

I don't necessarily want their voices censored

from the perspective, but I want to know exactly who these people are.

That being said, the only thing I have here is that's a moderation on that is the mental health aspect of this.

This guy is

completely bonkers.

And by the way, can we at least point out?

We've been saying he was completely bonkers for a long freaking time.

Go back to our show.

He's in 2005 when we were talking about Kanye West.

George W.

Bush doesn't care about black people.

He has been insane every day, every day, including the day he put on a red hat, all the days

from then till now.

Even the days we liked him and said, you know, I think this is a real spiritual awakening.

I think this is good.

However, let's not all get on to the, he's the greatest guy ever.

He's nuts.

He's nuts.

I didn't go as far as many did as far as embracing him.

No, I know.

I never did.

You were always like, always

insane.

He's insane.

However, I will say, I was rooting for his Christian conversion to be real.

I always will root for that, no matter what the situation is.

Quite honestly, I think it is real.

And maybe somewhere in his head, it is

because he says it and he's like, Hitler was born a Christian.

That's not the resume.

We don't put that one on the resume for Christians.

We skip it completely.

And by the way, he was not a Christian.

Not a Christian.

He was born into a,

I forgot it.

I won't go into the whole whole history here, but he absolutely was not a Christian and he absolutely hated Christianity.

He wanted to destroy it.

So now, let me just say, you can,

in an adult conversation

with

an intellectual and highly spiritual bent,

you could sit in a room with a few people and say, Let's talk about Adolf Hitler.

Okay?

That guy killed millions of gods.

It was real.

Holocaust was real.

Absolutely anti-Semite.

He was most likely clinically insane by the end.

Really bad guy.

However, if you're God,

do you want,

do you hate him?

Or do you say, here is a soul that went so awry?

If you're you're God, not me, right?

If you're God,

you know, Jesus would look at Hitler, I think, and say,

forgive him, Father.

He knows not what he does.

Now, I'm not Jesus.

No.

So I don't do that.

But that's probably...

But that's the discussion you have philosophically,

you know, in a, not on the Alex Jones show wearing a mask.

Let's just say.

that.

Yeah, I'm just saying.

Yeah, I mean, like, you can go back even to that time when he was doing these things actively and was alive doing them, and you can find spiritual leaders who will say things like that, right?

Like, you know, I'm sure if you went to Gandhi, he'd probably be like, Look, he's a lost soul.

Yes.

Look, we can all feel that way.

Mother Teresa would have absolutely said that.

He's a lost soul.

And he is a lost soul.

But he's just also a lot worse than just that.

But Mother Teresa would not have said, you can't say out loud this person never did anything good.

Okay, maybe Mother Teresa, maybe, maybe.

I'm done with the classifications.

Yes, she would have said that.

Every human being has something of value.

Yes, I agree.

But she definitely would not have said,

especially Hitler.

Especially or to single him out for all of his positives.

For all the positives that he brought to the table.

No, I don't think especially Hitler.

No.

Continue on because there's more.

I gotta watch my accounts because they've been frozen by the Jewish banks.

Hey, stop for just a second.

Yeah,

I'm gonna have to say crazy.

Yes, he's completely crazy.

And it's worse than that.

It's not just a lunatic raving things in the street.

He's obviously...

At some level, these views are

something he's obviously entertained before.

This is not day one of this theory.

No, no.

I think this is, I really, here's my guess.

He got into Christianity.

It was new to him.

He got all,

you know, revved up and

really was on the right track.

This is my guess.

Okay.

But then you introduce mental illness with that.

And then his love for shock,

plus

his

the fact that he's being

abandoned by all friends and everything else, and he's a huge superstar with lots of money.

Grifters come in, crazy people come in, and start to say, you know what, I'm with you on Jesus.

And you know what?

And Jesus was a black man, and he was not a Jew.

He didn't like Jews.

And And you can see with the mental illness,

you can see him go down this road with really bad people surrounding him.

I've, not to this degree, but I've had friends.

I think we've all had friends.

When you're surrounded by the wrong people, and it is really easy to happen when you have fame and fortune, especially at his level, that you can start hanging with the wrong people and and and also with religion.

Religion, and this goes to the religion of global warming and everything else.

Look at how many of our friends have started to accept Marxism or celebrate your abortion

because they got wrapped up with the wrong friends that it wasn't obvious to them that they were the wrong friends.

You're like, stop buying this.

You're drinking the Kool-Aid.

What you're drinking is very dangerous.

No, it's not.

And then all of a sudden, they're saying celebrate your abortion.

You're like, dude, what are you talking about?

I'm for the drag queens in story hour for the little kids.

Who have you become?

We are living at a time where the world is mentally ill and then people who are clinically diagnosed as mentally ill are real trouble.

And which he has been

multiple times and obviously is not being treated for it.

Right.

You know, look, we can sit here and

do this thing where you look for the best possible

scenario here to explain his behavior.

No, but I'm not explaining how to do it.

I know you're not.

I know.

Oh, believe me.

You literally won the Defender of Israel Award.

I know you're not trying to explain it away in any way.

You're just trying to...

Look,

mental health is really, really significant.

When people get into these types of moments, they believe things.

They believe they're in touch with the president.

Now, of course, this guy actually isn't.

You know what?

And this one, I feel bad for Donald Trump.

Oh, because Donald Trump, you get a call from Kanye West and he says, hey, I'm going to be in town.

I want to just come by, talk to you about something for dinner.

I would have said,

okay.

Okay.

I would have said, if Kanye West called me and said, and just that, look, I'm going to talk to you now.

Or anytime recently.

Yeah.

But I mean, but back in the day, sure.

No, I think in the last few, in the last few weeks, I would have.

No, I wouldn't have.

Even saying just these things for weeks, I think before he came out as an out anti-Semite, sure.

But previous to that, no.

I would after that, no.

I would have come out, I would have said,

I understand, to some degree, mental illness, okay, runs in my family like a pack of wild elephants.

Believe me.

And

so I think I would have said, I want to see for myself and I want to see if I can help.

I also appreciate his Christianity, but

I think he is lost right now.

I would have sat down with him and

I was a man than I am.

I would not, you know, but not now.

Not now.

Not now.

But Donald Trump gets a call.

Hey, I'm coming.

I want to just talk to you.

Can we have dinner?

He says yes.

Now, Trump is also thinking, get this guy out of the election in 2024 because we don't want any votes being wasted.

So he has dinner with him.

He doesn't know what that is all about.

And he immediately comes out and says, whoa.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Real trouble.

I mean, look, the media tried to make that into a Trump issue.

Yeah, it's not.

I certainly

understand how that gets out of control.

And they, you know, look, they came out, his, the Kanye campaign for what it was, came out and told everybody that the reason they did it was to take advantage of Donald Trump.

Like, I mean, that was legitimately their goal, at least their stated goal.

Now, whether you can believe any of these people that are associated with him at this point, I don't know.

But that was their, you know, their stated goal was to hurt Donald Trump.

So again, I think the Trump thing is a total, that's a media sideshow when it comes to this.

That's not, you know,

when it comes to the easy parts here, Glenn, it's like, the Holocaust happened, okay?

This is not difficult.

You should be, I don't know why so many athletes, so many celebrities have trouble with this.

This occurred.

It's really, really bad.

And it occurred.

And the fact that you can't, after all of this time with all of the evidence, that you can't sit back and understand that

and you deny it to this day is incredibly disturbing.

And it's not just Kanye.

We've seen this happen

with celebrities and athletes

routinely.

And there is a not just white supremacist.

There are black supremacists as well.

I mean, Kyrie Irving is not very white.

Right.

I mean, there is something in both cultures that turned the fringes into madmen.

Yeah, and let's not forget, you want to talk about a person who is a Holocaust denier and an anti-Semite that leads millions of people.

I can also show you a photo of him with Barack Obama,

Louis Farrakhan.

You can find

hundreds of people in Congress who have met with this guy publicly.

Right.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

I have a podcast today.

It's episode 166.

D-Transitioner exposes dark world of gender-affirming care.

This is an 18-year-old girl named Chloe Cole.

She is incredibly brave.

I mean,

incredibly brave.

At 11 years old, she began to be convinced by school and social media that she was a boy.

By 13, she was on puberty blockers.

By 15, she had her breasts removed.

And then the whole world came apart.

And she was like, wait a minute, I am not a boy.

What have I done?

Your heart will expand by.

You'll be like the Grinch.

You'll lift up the sleigh at the end.

She is such a sweet girl.

And every parent, you have no idea, don't dismiss this stuff.

She will explain it to you where you will understand how your kids might be thinking about things.

And we all want to be good parents and we all want to be compassionate.

She will walk you through that.

It is so important maybe for you and your kids to listen to this.

It's on Blaze TV right now.

It'll be out tomorrow, podcast episode 166, wherever you get your podcast with Chloe Cole.

All right,

we're looking at the big stories of the week and one that really kind of

has just kind of fallen off the radar because nobody in the mainstream media wants to talk about it.

And I don't think a lot of people on the right are following this closely enough.

But our attorney generals

are doing

God's work right now.

One attorney general who I've not met yet, at least I don't think, is Austin Knutson.

He is the Montana Attorney General.

He is leading now a multi-state effort seeking clarification from UPS and Federal Express because he says they may be working with the federal government to

make sure they have a register of everybody who's buying guns.

Attorney General Austin Knutson from Montana joins me now.

Austin, how are you, sir?

I'm great, Glenn.

Honored to be on your show.

Yeah, thank you.

Have we ever met before?

No, sir, we have not.

I did not think so.

I've sure listened to you over the years.

Oh, well, thank you.

So tell me

what you saw originally, what you think is happening, and what you guys are doing about it.

Yeah, so we started to get reports at the Montana Department of Justice from federal firearms license holders, whether they be a brick-and-mortar gun shop.

internet vendors, I mean, whatever the case may be.

You know, they're a highly regulated industry.

There's rules in place for shipping firearms.

We obviously can't ship firearms directly to consumers.

Right.

But what we started to get reports of was, hey, FedEx and UPS are handing down these new regulations on us federal firearms license holders, and we no longer are required to have just one shipping account with each of these companies.

We have to keep three separate shipping accounts, and we have to tell them specifically when we're shipping firearms and who we're shipping them to.

Now, this is unprecedented because, I mean, Glenn, as you know, you get on a website, I mean, you might be ordering a firearm, but you also might be ordering a t-shirt or a hat

from that company.

And so

prior to that, I mean, if you were ordering multiple things, if you were ordering

a set of screws and a hat, they could put it all in one box and ship it

to you or to your other FFL holder.

Well, now

FedEx and UPS are requiring these FFLs.

If you're going to ship a firearm, it has to be in a separate box.

If you're going to ship parts, it has to be in a separate box.

If you're going to ship merchandise, it has to be in a separate box.

You have to have three separate accounts for each one of those things, and you have to notify UPS and FedEx where these things are going.

All right, so hang on just a second.

Wait, wait, wait, Austin.

So when you say we have have to notify where it's going, who's being sold to, does that, because if, I mean, I've bought guns across state lines, I live in southern Idaho, you know, and I'll buy a gun in

northern Utah and ship it, you know, six blocks.

And

I know that it has to go to an FFL, but it doesn't necessarily, are they saying the name of the FFL holder or the name of me, the gun purchaser?

Well, that's what we're trying to find out, Glenn.

We don't know the answer to that yet, and I'm getting told a couple of different things.

So this is why we're asking UPS and FedEx for some information.

Because this looks to me like either UPS and FedEx on their own, or what I really suspect, this is probably the Biden administration and the ATF wanting to keep a...

a private database or start creating a private database that UPS and FedEx hold of all gun purchases.

And that's that's the concern here.

I would have a heart a harder time believing.

Have you looked at what they are asking FedEx and UPS?

Why would they both be asking for the same things at the same time?

I mean

we exactly.

This is very coincidental.

I find it very strange that both of these shipping giants suddenly, each independently of each other, had this brilliant idea completely on their own that just happens to get rolled out at the same time.

This is either collusion or this is pressure from the federal government.

So you think that this is

possibly, if it is collusion with the federal government, the ATF and

anybody else, I mean, other than the White House?

Or...

How far does this, do you think, go across

the spectrum here on government?

Well,

I think there's a couple of suspects here.

I mean, we've seen in the last few months a handful of ultra-liberal Democrat senators

send out letters and put pressure on other companies, YouTube being one of them, and these companies caving to them.

Is it coming from the Senate?

Is it coming from the ATF?

Is it coming straight from Susan Rice in the White House?

I don't know the answer to these questions.

This is what we're trying to get some more information

This is why 18 of us have asked UPS and FedEx to give us this information.

Who are you talking to?

Who's this coming from?

Is this a new ATF rule?

Because that's what some of these FFL holders are being told by UPS and FedEx.

Hey, we don't have a choice here.

We're being told by ATF we have to do this.

Well, Glenn, if that's true, then that's a new rule that the ATF has promulgated on its own.

They didn't go through notice and comment period, and they're in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act.

So there's a lot of information we've got to get here.

So you wrote the letter to them, delivered it, I think, this week, and they have 30 days to respond.

That's correct.

Do you all have the teeth to be able to

bite them if they're not responding or they're not truthful?

We do.

Yeah.

Each state has their own consumer protection laws.

In Montana, we have the Montana Unfair Trade Practices Act.

That's probably the teeth, the stick that I will use if FedEx and UPS don't want to be forthcoming.

If we get stonewalled, I'm probably going to start with a more formal investigative demand.

That's just shy of a subpoena.

But

if they want to bow their neck, you're going to see AGs like me most likely use their state consumer protection laws to bite back.

I am so glad that you're in office and you are paying attention.

You are working with the attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire,

Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

So that is, that's great.

That is great.

You guys are really our last defense.

You and the sheriffs, our last defense.

I appreciate you saying that, Glenn.

Yeah,

we're fighting good battles.

We've got a great, great

group of state AGs that are paying attention to this stuff.

And we're not going to stand here and just take it.

You know, when our state citizens' rights are being threatened, whether that's First Amendment or Second Amendment, we're going to fight back.

So that's what this is about.

That's great.

By the way,

I looked at land in Montana years ago, and

I so regret it now that

Yellowstone is on, because I don't know what the people of Montana feel, but I love the attitude of Costner.

I mean, I know, so I know I wouldn't be welcome now in Wyoming.

Keep it Wyoming, but

I love the attitude.

And I know that there are things that people are moving in from California and

New York, and they're just

using Montana as some, I don't know, just some.

Don't let it turn into Jackson Hole.

That's what I'm saying.

Don't let it turn into Jackson Hole.

You know, we've had a big, had a big influx from that show, but it looks like it's the right people moving here.

Yeah, good.

The state keeps moving to the right.

So we're happy.

Good.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

Please tell your office to stay in touch with ours and update us on anything, or if you need any help, let me know

i will do it glenn thank you so much like i said it's an honor you got it mine too uh austin knutson he is the montana attorney general

you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

so i said earlier today that I think this is the most dangerous time

to be a Jew since maybe the 1930s.

Definitely the most dangerous time in my lifetime.

We've been talking to you about this for a long, long time.

I just met with a

great pastor at my house just the other night, and we talked about the wash of evil on the world and

also Israel and Jews.

And as Christians, we need to make sure we are on the right side, that we are on God's side.

And

we don't allow this kind of stuff to happen anymore.

And we stand against anti-Semitism.

It is

so

dangerous.

And it is where the world is going.

It is

where our government is going.

We had peace.

We had good relations with Israel.

And we were making real progress in the Middle East.

And if you watched my podcast with B.B.

Netanyahu,

you saw exactly how that happened.

Israel played a huge role in that piece.

And then this administration got in and just threw it out the window.

You have people in the Democratic Party who are

not just anti-Zionists.

They are anti-Jewish.

They are

absolute

anti-Semites.

So you have them on the left and the right.

Remember, I don't consider Nazis right.

That is where they belong on the scale in Europe.

But here in America, they're Marxists.

They're socialists.

Okay, that's not on the right end of the spectrum.

This is a game that was played after World War II by progressives to screw everything up.

Those people belong on the left.

And when you have Marxist or socialists, you usually have wild anti-Semitism that sprouts from that every single time.

The UN just voted

to

mark Nakba Day.

Now, this was voted for this week,

and they want a commemorative event in in honor of the 75th Nakba Day.

What does Nakba mean?

Well to the Muslim world and the Palestinian world and the Arab world,

that is Israel's Independence Day.

That is the founding of Israel.

Nakba means catastrophe.

So it is the day of the catastrophe.

So that's the entire Arab world saying,

yeah, boy, wasn't that a catastrophe?

And they mean it.

And it is wildly anti-Semitic.

Well, the UN General Assembly just voted 90 to 30.

The United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom were among those who opposed the move.

There were 47 abstentions, which,

I mean, really,

you don't want to stand on.

I'm not sure where to take a stand on this one.

Yeah, right.

That kind of puts you into the wrong category.

And with all of the stuff that is happening with Kanye West

and what's happening with our Department of Homeland Security issuing this week yet another warning that anti-Semites on the right

are going to start killing Jews.

Warning.

Warning.

Just know who you're standing with.

Know what you believe.

And stand with our Jewish friends.

Stand with

anyone who will recognize that the God they serve is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

We serve the same God.

Unless they're like, and God's telling me to blow you up.

Now.

But let's put our differences aside and start standing together.

Because I don't know if you've noticed this, but the left, they don't agree on everything.

And they're united as one.

They're the only part of the United States that's still united.

All the crazies on the left, they're all thinking, well, we'll just kill them once we get power.

But they're still, they're moving in the same direction and working together.

Why can't God's people do that?

Why can't we do that?

It's time.

Yeah, it's really

a scary moment here.

And it's interesting to see now that the media has discovered anti-Semitism, seemingly for the first time.

You know, a lot of left-wing celebrities have been saying these types of things for a while.

They just continue with their network shows, like Nick Cannon, right?

Nick Cannon came out and said all the stuff basically that Kanye West is saying, or at least similar things.

And it was a minor blow up in the media for a day or two.

And then

he moved on and he still has two major network shows on two different networks, which is still incredible.

This has happened with celebrities and

people in the media and sports athletes and everything else for a long time, too often.

And usually it's pretty much ignored.

LeBron James had a situation this week, which is fascinating to me for a multitude of reasons.

He basically came out and said, ah, come on.

I mean, really, you're going to keep, you're going to suspend Kyrie Irving for promoting the,

excuse the language, Hebrews to Negroes documentary about how Jews are obviously, it's obviously anti-Semitic, and you don't need to go into all the terrible arguments it makes.

But he put that out there.

And LeBron James came to his defense.

And then yesterday, or the day before, said

he was perplexed as to why

he was not asked about the Jerry Jones photo.

Now, Jerry Jones is the owner of the Cowboys.

Apparently a photo came out of him from 1957

when he was 14 years old and he was standing at a some sort, like people don't really know all the details, but he was standing around and it was some situation where it seemed like black students were trying to get into a school and on the other side were a bunch of white students.

Now he did not seem to be in the middle of the conflict, but he was in the crowd of white students, sort of toward the back.

Oh, my God.

And that's apparently,

he, LeBron James was upset that the media would not come and ask him about that.

Why are you doing, you know, I guess because it's a white guy is the insinuation.

No, because it's 1956.

And a different sport, right?

It's not even, it's not even an owner in his sport.

It's 1957.

It was a four, even if he made a horrible mistake in 1957, he was 14 years old.

There's absolutely no relevance to of LeBron James to this story whatsoever.

And he says this and all the media is like, wow, what a powerful statement.

He's so brave.

He's so brave.

Now, of course, what we might forget is that there was

another story.

And this is a good way of testing the thesis.

Was it racism?

Was it the left, the giant media corporations who just didn't want to get a comment from LeBron James about a racial issue?

Because they've been so consistent in avoiding his commentary on this over the past 10 years.

But like, there was, we remember the story probably from a few years ago, an owner, a white owner, in this time LeBron James' sport, this time a current controversy.

And they went to LeBron James like 12 times a week to talk about Donald Sterling.

Right?

He was constantly blabbing about it.

He was saying how he would boycott the league if they didn't throw him out.

He was on TV all the time talking about it.

Maybe

the idea that it was a 1957

was more of a concern as to why they were not talking to you.

And maybe the fact that, you know, it's your friend, Kyrie Irving, and you publicly defended him over this.

You know, oh, well, maybe he said some wrong things, but come on, we can't be punishing him like this.

Five whole games off.

Oh, my goodness.

What a terrible, terrible tragedy.

There's a lot of friendly treatment from the particularly famous athlete community and celebrities about anti-Semitism.

It's too common.

This has happened too many times.

And, you know, the media, when it's okay, when Kanye West puts on the red hat, all of a sudden his views are going to be critiqued a little bit more.

Now, look, what Kanye West is doing is obviously a story, and what he's doing is absolutely terrible.

But what I found.

It's terrible and I think a mark of insanity.

I think both are true.

I think Kanye West has been insane the entire time, and

this is just the most recent flare-up.

But

he's allowed to say these things when he's on the left.

Nick Cannon can say it, and he can be rehabbed in weeks.

And Kanye West is not going to get that treatment.

He's going to find out that he's not going to be rehabbed from this, nor should he be, in my particular opinion.

But what I found interesting, and I think that you'll find interesting as well, Glenn, is when this happened, when Kanye West went to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago for dinner and then brought a bunch of fringy

people with him.

The outcry was, of course, about Donald Trump, right?

The outcry is about Trump, not necessarily about West as much.

It was about Donald Trump.

And to prove this point, they went to people, to experts on anti-Semitism, right, to teach us all.

that Donald Trump was doing something bad.

And they got a quote from an expert on anti-Semitism,

which is this.

I'm in love with this.

I'm a child of survivors.

I've become very frightened for my people.

Donald Trump is not an anti-Semite.

He loves Israel.

He loves Jews.

But he mainstreams, he legitimizes Jew hatred and Jew haters, and this scares me.

Very rational point.

Very rational.

Yeah.

And what I found most interesting was the source of that quote:

Morton Klein,

the head of the Zionist Organization of America.

Now, how many times has the New York Times and other related media organizations called you, Glenn Beck, an anti-Semite?

A thousand, a million, a billion.

I can't even keep track of it.

They say it all the time.

All the time.

And yet, their expert on anti-Semitism that they bring in to bash Donald Trump

is the guy who gave you the Defender of Israel award.

The same person.

Same organization.

Same organization.

Mort runs.

That Mort runs.

And if I'm not mistaken, the award was actually handed to you by Benjamin Netanyahu.

And they still, because it benefits them this time to show Morton Klein in a positive light, which he deserves fully, to show him in a positive light, they will use him to try to bash Donald Trump.

And yet they destroy.

Mort all the time.

All the time.

Every other time he's mentioned,

that award you got doesn't count because he's some right-wing guy.

And he's crazy and he's probably, he's just, he just,

he's a self-hating Jew.

That's what he'll come up with.

Anything.

Anything.

To destroy it.

It shows you that the media, they don't care about anti-Semitism.

I mean, what do they do with Elon Omar?

What do they do there?

They did nothing when Ilon Omar came out and said, you know, all the crap that she said over the years.

Did you see my response to Elon Omar this week?

I think I found this thread here because she she was, I guess, happy about the interracial marriage and same-sex marriage.

Yeah, she was,

yeah, she was very, very excited about that.

And

now that interracial marriage is okay,

she said,

I mean, it's been okay forever.

But now that they've passed a law,

she said, finally.

Finally, my marriage is safe.

Right.

Right.

And then someone responds and says, marriages to your brother.

And she says, God, no.

Please seek help.

It's not normal to want to marry your brother.

You responded, wow, we agree.

So why did you?

That's

now what was her answer to that?

I don't know.

She didn't answer that.

She didn't answer that one.

I was kind of disappointed.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I'm still looking.

I mean, it's weird that we both agree that

it's just insanity to marry, you know, your brother or sister.

So why did she marry him?

I can't figure it out.

At least you agreed on the general principle, and that's what's important.

See, that's bipartisanship right there in action.

I'm reaching across the aisle, you know?

Hey, I agree.

You shouldn't do that.

By the way, Glenn,

I did see some, speaking of the marriage issue, some criticism of you over the past day or so.

Apparently, you believe all sorts of really wild and crazy things about marriage.

Do I?

Yeah, I haven't followed.

You haven't followed this?

No.

This is pretty.

They brought it up in production meeting this morning, and I was like, I haven't read it.

I don't really care.

Well, no,

you shouldn't care.

But I love how they try to do this all the time.

It's amazing that these organizations still exist,

that exist to listen to every, you know, look.

Yeah, Media Matters, and, you know, they're all

the same and all funded by george soros

so apparently you compared marriage equality to china's one child policy

and you worried what really really and you worried that the respect for marriage act will harm procreation

hall can explain yourself no because i don't remember the conversation but that doesn't seem like exactly what I would have said.

No.

And then you also are worried that Christian organizations will hire people that are different.

And I know that's always been a big, big-that's a number one thing.

You know, nobody different.

And I mean, I don't even mean just race or sexuality.

I mean, no one different.

I am for cloning of one religious person, and they run the entire organization.

And they're the ones in the pews, too.

Some say it can be done.

They saw it.

A great example.

Clone wars.

But I don't think that, I mean, that turned out kind of well for a while.

It was okay.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah.

No, yeah.

It's an interesting part.

I just don't understand.

Like, does this, does this work anymore?

Like, I remember when this first happened to us, it was like they took things out of context and tried to smear you with it.

And it's like, it was like

jolting initially, right?

Like, you're like, wait, why are people saying all these bad things about?

Yeah.

And now it's like, I can't possibly believe this is still because you're you you they've they've said it all

you know when they compare you to hitler right you know you're like okay well i don't think there's any place to go nope stephen king said that i was uh satan's retarded brother

which it's nice language was nice language coming from him but he's compassionate uh and uh

and i don't think you can go anywhere from there so you're kind of out of ammunition, you know?

Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-liter jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.
