MUST WATCH viral video of baby making crazy trick shots

You’ve seen trick shot videos on the internet before. Talented college kids chucking basketballs from the upper deck, rooftops, moving objects, and any other crazy spot you can dream up -- and get it right into the hoop. But what America hasn’t seen is a little kid trick shot video - until now.

Watch the video below:

Glenn interviewed the kid's dad, Joseph Ashby, on radio this morning:

Transcript of their interview is below:

GLENN: There is a ‑‑ there's a video that is absolutely unbelievable and it's got, like, I don't know, 3 1/2 million views now and it's been sweeping for a while and it is of this little 2‑year‑old kid that is shooting the basketball and, you know, you're like, okay, well, he's shooting the basketball. He's got a little teeny basketball and he's right up next to, you know, a little plastic basketball hoop. And as the video goes on, it gets more and more incredible, until he's on the basketball court, like 2, throwing a basketball and I mean, really amazing trick shots and everything else. And you think that there's no way this ‑‑ there's no way this kid is ‑‑ I mean, this has got to be ‑‑ how is this possible? Well, we found out earlier this week that the kid's dad is Joseph Ashby and he is the morning host on our affiliate in Wichita, Kansas, KQAM. And he's on the phone with us now. Joe, how are ya?

ASHBY: Doing really good. You picked the greatest time to have me on the air. We're about to go through a security checkpoint at LaGuardia.

GLENN: Oh, congratulations. Congratulations on that. Good luck. And you'll enjoy ‑‑

ASHBY: You know, I always wanted to meet ‑‑

GLENN: Hang on just a second. Do you have a cigarette? Because you're going to need one afterwards.

ASHBY: I don't.

GLENN: I'm glad ‑‑

ASHBY: I've always wanted to meet you, Glenn. I thought it would be under different circumstances. When I started hosting the KQAM morning show, I thought this is going to be great, Glenn Beck's going to hear me and he's going to ask me to guest host and it's going to be awesome. And now I'm meeting you because my 2‑year‑old son can make cool basketball shots. It's a little different than what I had in mind but it's cool.

GLENN: You'll have to come down and I'll pretend to be interested in you. But you'll have to come down and bring your son with a basketball hoop. We'll have to ‑‑

STU: (Laughing.)

GLENN: He's amazing. Did you ‑‑ where ‑‑ did he ‑‑ how did this happen?

ASHBY: Well, it was sort of an accident. It's funny to see everybody's reaction because he does it so much that we didn't ‑‑ you know, we like it but we didn't really think as much of it as everybody else does because he started when he was real young and he made, like you say, little baskets, close range with small balls and a big hoop and then it just blossomed from there. Now he can do fairly high hoops with proportionally size ball that looks pretty awesome.

GLENN: But he's like, he seems to also kind of understand physics.

PAT: (Laughing.)

GLENN: I mean ‑‑

PAT: Trick shots and all that.

GLENN: He's doing trick shots where he knows if I hit this one, it will go ‑‑ he's amazing.

ASHBY: Well, I'm an aerospace engineer by trade. So maybe I passed something along in the bloodstream in that respect.

GLENN: Now come on, are you being serious? No, you're not.

ASHBY: Here's the thing. My one regret for the video is that I didn't do it like four months ago because he could make all those shots again. And I could have said two things: Number one, that he was only 1 instead of 2; and he could have endorsed Mitt Romney and maybe turned the tide of the election.

PAT: Yeah, it would have been great.

GLENN: Would have been ‑‑ would have been great.

PAT: Nice.

GLENN: Can I ‑‑ by the way, the video is up on TheBlaze.com right at the front page at the top of the banner. It will just say see the video that was on the Glenn Beck morning show today. But you'll have to see this video. I mean, I'm ‑‑ you know, these trick shot videos are really amazing when you get somebody, you know ‑‑ you know, some college star or something and he's doing these amazing trick shots. This is incredible to see this little 2‑year‑old do this. Anyway, so Joe, let me ask you something. Should I call you, is it Joseph or Joe?

ASHBY: Joe's fine.

GLENN: Joe, let me ask you ‑‑ first of all, let me thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I mean this sincerely, for sending us Sebelius. What the hell is wrong with you?

ASHBY: I don't know. I was ‑‑ now listen to me. Listen to me. This is not my fault. I took over this morning show last year in May and so Governor Brownback had already been elected. So I wasn't here to put my hand out and stop the course of history until then.

GLENN: Holy cow. How does a ‑‑ how does a state go from Kathleen Sebelius to Brownback? I mean, isn't that a little steep of a pendulum swing?

ASHBY: Basically she was sort of like the female version of John Kerry and instead of marrying into money, she married into politics. A famous Western, you know, political Kansas family, right? All these conservative rural voters love the name Sebelius and that was really a tide‑Turner in the election. Go figure.

GLENN: Unbelievable. So now Kansas is trying to ‑‑ I mean, looks like Brownback is trying to turn us into ‑‑ turn you into Texas which ‑‑

ASHBY: He said, in his state‑of‑the‑state address earlier in last month, I guess it is, he said look out, Texas, here comes Kansas. So you talk about people moving to Texas, which is totally cool that I'm trying to turn my state into Texas. So...

GLENN: Well, you know, some states actually have a chance of grabbing onto freedom and there's a few of them now that are starting to do it, and I'm glad to hear that Kansas is ‑‑ Kansas is doing it. Except you have Agenda 21 now in Kansas.

ASHBY: Well, yeah. The main ‑‑ Wichita is the biggest city in Kansas and the county that it's in, the county commissioner is like, yeah, we'll take the grants and there are a few strings attached but it's nothing out of the ordinary. And if they ever ‑‑ you know, if it ever gets hard, we can just drop it. If they ever ask us to do anything we want, we'll just stop taking grants.

GLENN: Right.

ASHBY: And I'm like, yeah, okay, because governments ‑‑ always say no to free money from the federal government.

GLENN: That's right. And when you take the free money and it's got the strings attached, it's so easy to cut yourself out of that. They don't mind.

ASHBY: It's so easy.

GLENN: They don't mind that they gave you all that money and now you're like, no, I'm not going to do that. They love that.

ASHBY: It's like the trick shot. You know, I keep getting these merchandise people. They're like, we want to send you our stuff. And I'm like, really? What for? And they are like, oh, I don't know, if you ever make another video, maybe you could use our basketball hoop in it. I'm just like, oh, I see how it is.

GLENN: So you've got all these basketball hoops coming, though, right? I mean, you're not turning down ‑‑

ASHBY: We'll probably have a houseful of them by the time we're done.

GLENN: You're not getting rid of that. Well, Joe, I'd love to meet you sometime. It's great talking to you and I guess keep up the ‑‑ well, I was going to say keep up the good work with your son but I mean, you're not really doing anything. You're just standing around watching him, taking a video.

ASHBY: I'm the choreographer. So you've got to give me a little bit of credit. He has my genes. You've got to give me a little credit for that, but it's mostly him.

GLENN: Does he watch basketball? Is he fascinated by it?

ASHBY: That's kind of the cute story is when he was, like, prewalking, early walking, he would kind of cuddle with me at night when I watched NBA League Path on my laptop and so as soon as he was able to walk with, you know, out help and whatever, he knew what to do with a basketball.

GLENN: That's really incredible. Thanks, Joe, I appreciate it. We'll talk to you again.

ASHBY: Hey, you know, I've got to get back. A lot of other countries have been giving me media requests and the deposed prince of Nigeria needs my help. He didn't mention the video but I figured I better do something for him. So I've got to go.

GLENN: All right. Well, you have fun in Nigeria. Thanks a lot, man. Bye‑bye.

See that video now at TheBlaze.com. Pretty ‑‑ pretty amazing.

PHOTOS: Glenn’s rare tour reveals White House history

In honor of Trump's 100th day in office, Glenn was invited to the White House for an exclusive interview with the President.

Naturally, Glenn's visit wasn't solely confined to the interview, and before long, Glenn and Trump were strolling through the majestic halls of the White House, trading interesting historical anecdotes while touring the iconic home. Glenn was blown away by the renovations that Trump and his team have made to the presidential residence and enthralled by the history that practically oozed out of the gleaming walls.

Want to join Glenn on this magical tour? Fortunately, Trump's gracious White House staff was kind enough to provide Glenn with photos of his journey through the historic residence so that he might share the experience with you.

So join Glenn for a stroll through 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the photo gallery below:

Trump branded a tyrant, but did Obama outdo him on deportations?

MSNBC and CNN want you to think the president is a new Hitler launching another Holocaust. But the actual deportation numbers are nowhere near what they claim.

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, compared Trump’s immigration policies to Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust. He claimed that Hitler didn’t bother with German law — he just hauled people off to death camps in Poland and Hungary. Apparently, that’s what Trump is doing now by deporting MS-13 gang members to El Salvador.

Symone Sanders took it a step further. The MSNBC host suggested that deporting gang-affiliated noncitizens is simply the first step toward deporting black Americans. I’ll wait while you try to do that math.

The debate is about control — weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent.

Media mouthpieces like Sanders and Matthews are just the latest examples of the left’s Pavlovian tribalism when it comes to Trump and immigration. Just say the word “Trump,” and people froth at the mouth before they even hear the sentence. While the media cries “Hitler,” the numbers say otherwise. And numbers don’t lie — the narrative does.

Numbers don’t lie

The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump. It was President Bill Clinton, who sent back 12.3 million people during his presidency — 11.4 million returns and nearly 900,000 formal removals. President George W. Bush, likewise, presided over 10.3 million deportations — 8.3 million returns and two million removals. Even President Barack Obama, the progressive darling, oversaw 5.5 million deportations, including more than three million formal removals.

So how does Donald Trump stack up? Between 2017 and 2021, Trump deported somewhere between 1.5 million and two million people — dramatically fewer than Obama, Bush, or Clinton. In his current term so far, Trump has deported between 100,000 and 138,000 people. Yes, that’s assertive for a first term — but it's still fewer than Biden was deporting toward the end of his presidency.

The numbers simply don’t support the hysteria.

Who's the “dictator” here? Trump is deporting fewer people, with more legal oversight, and still being compared to history’s most reviled tyrant. Apparently, sending MS-13 gang members — violent criminals — back to their country of origin is now equivalent to genocide.

It’s not about immigration

This debate stopped being about immigration a long time ago. It’s now about control — about weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent. It’s about turning Donald Trump into the villain of every story, facts be damned.

If the numbers mattered, we’d be having a very different national conversation. We’d be asking why Bill Clinton deported six times as many people as Trump and never got labeled a fascist. We’d be questioning why Barack Obama’s record-setting removals didn’t spark cries of ethnic cleansing. And we’d be wondering why Trump, whose enforcement was relatively modest by comparison, triggered lawsuits, media hysteria, and endless Nazi analogies.

But facts don’t drive this narrative. The villain does. And in this script, Trump plays the villain — even when he does far less than the so-called heroes who came before him.

Can Trump stop the blackouts that threaten America's future?

If America wants to remain a global leader in the coming decades, we need more energy fast.

It's no secret that Glenn is an advocate for the safe and ethical use of AI, not because he wants it, but because he knows it’s coming whether we like it or not. Our only option is to shape AI on our terms, not those of our adversaries. America has to win the AI Race if we want to maintain our stability and security, and to do that, we need more energy.

AI demands dozens—if not hundreds—of new server farms, each requiring vast amounts of electricity. The problem is, America lacks the power plants to generate the required electricity, nor do we have a power grid capable of handling the added load. We must overcome these hurdles quickly to outpace China and other foreign competitors.

Outdated Power Grid

Our power grid is ancient, slowly buckling under the stress of our modern machines. AAI’s energy demands could collapse it without a major upgrade. The last significant overhaul occurred under FDR nearly a century ago, when he connected rural America to electricity. Since then, we’ve patched the system piecemeal, but it’s still the same grid from the 1930s. Over 70 percent of the powerlines are 30 years old or older, and circuit breakers and other vital components are in similar condition. Most people wouldn't trust a dishwasher that was 30 years old, and yet much of our grid relies on technology from the era of VHS tapes.

Upgrading the grid would prevent cascading failures, rolling blackouts, and even EMP attacks. It would also enable new AI server farms while ensuring reliable power for all.

A Need for Energy

Earlier this month, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt appeared before Congress as part of an AI panel and claimed that by 2030, the U.S. will need to add 96 gigawatts to our national power production to meet AI-driven demand. While some experts question this figure, the message is clear: We must rapidly expand power production. But where will this energy come from?

As much as eco nuts would love to power the world with sunshine and rainbows, we need a much more reliable and significantly more efficient power source if we want to meet our electricity goals. Nuclear power—efficient, powerful, and clean—is the answer. It’s time to shed outdated fears of atomic energy and embrace the superior electricity source. Building and maintaining new nuclear plants, along with upgraded infrastructure, would create thousands of high-paying American jobs. Nuclear energy will fuel AI, boost the economy, and modernize America’s decaying infrastructure.

A Bold Step into the Future

This is President Trump’s chance to leave a historic mark on America, restoring our role as global leaders and innovators. Just as FDR’s power grid and plants made America the dominant force of the 20th century, Trump could upgrade our infrastructure to secure dominance in the 21st century. Visionary leadership must cut red tape and spark excitement in the industry. This is how Trump can make America great again.

POLL: Did astronomers discover PROOF of alien life?

Print Collector / Contributor | Getty Images

Are we alone in the universe?

It's no secret that Glenn keeps one eye on the cosmos, searching for any signs of ET. Late last week, a team of astronomers at the University of Cambridge made an exciting discovery that could change how we view the universe. The astronomers were monitoring a distant planet, K2-18b, when the James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide, two atmospheric gases believed only to be generated by living organisms. The planet, which is just over two and a half times larger than Earth, orbits within the "habitable zone" of its star, meaning the presence of liquid water on its surface is possible, further supporting the possibility that life exists on this distant world.

Unfortunately, humans won't be able to visit K2-18b to see for ourselves anytime soon, as the planet is about 124 light-years from Earth. This means that even if we had rockets that could travel at the speed of light, it would still take 124 years to reach the potentially verdant planet. Even if humans made the long trek to K2-18b, they would be faced with an even more intense challenge upon arrival: Gravity. Assuming K2-18b has a similar density to Earth, its increased size would also mean it would have increased gravity, two and a half times as much gravity, to be exact. This would make it very difficult, if not impossible, for humans to live or explore the surface without serious technological support. But who knows, give Elon Musk and SpaceX a few years, and we might be ready to seek out new life (and maybe even new civilizations).

But Glenn wants to know what you think. Could K2-18b harbor life on its distant surface? Could alien astronomers be peering back at us from across the cosmos? Would you be willing to boldly go where no man has gone before? Let us know in the poll below:

Could there be life on K2-18b?

Could there be an alien civilization thriving on K2-18b?

Will humans develop the technology to one day explore distant worlds?

Would you sign up for a trip to an alien world?

Is K2-18b just another cold rock in space?
