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.

TAKE THE POLL: What do YOU think about Trump's federal indictment?

Last month, Trump made history as the first U.S. President to be indicted. However, that instance was at the state level by Alvin Bragg, the Soros-backed Manhattan DA. Now, the DOJ has escalated the left's crusade against Trump to an all-new historic level: the Department of Justice federally indicted Trump, beckoning the former President to appear in federal court next week.

This is a new era of American politics.

While the Left says Trump should stand trial for his alleged crimes, Trump's supporters and conservatives more broadly feel that the Left is reducing America to a Banana Republic, using its power to attack its political opponents. Is Trump guilty of crimes? Is Trump's indictment a strategy to prevent him from winning in 2024?

We want to hear from YOU. What do YOU think about Trump's federal indictment? Tell us your thoughts in the below poll.

Do you support Trump's federal indictment?

Do you support Trump's state-level indictment?

Do you think the charges against Trump are legitimate?

Do you think the controversy around Trump's alleged possession of classified documents warrants a federal indictment?

Do you think the Biden administration is weaponizing itself against Trump because he's a major political opponent?

Do you think Trump will serve jail time?

Do you think this federal indictment will wreck Trump's 2024 Presidential campaign?

Does this indictment change your views on Trump?

Would you vote for Trump as the GOP nominee?

Will the Government confirm the existence of aliens? 

Is Biden going to fall again?

Will Kamala Harris become president?

Will Hillary Clinton announce her candidacy for president?

Will AI start an uprising?

How my family's Target boycott is affecting my wife (satire)


Bloomberg / Contributor, nito100 | Getty Images

If you've been tuning in this month, you'll know that my family and I have been boycotting Target since they released their problematic Pride collection. We are determined, but boy has it been difficult... particularly on my wife.

I'm not saying that I kept a diary of my wife's Target withdrawals... but I'm not saying that I didn't either.

Here are the "alleged" entries of my family's first week of boycotting Target.

Day 1

My wife began the day optimistic. Determined. She kept saying, "I can do it. I can do it. For the sake of what is right, I can do it."

For a moment there, I thought this boycott was going to be kind of easy. I thought she would bounce into action, and never look back.

At about noon on day one, she started to crack just a little bit. She looked at me and said, "The only jeans that fit me properly are from Target. Where am I going to get my jeans? What will I do without my favorite jeans?"

One weird thing. She has been speaking differently. It's almost like a nervous tick. Random words come out at random times. Day one, I kissed her good night and said, "I love you." She said, "I love Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Candy Truffles."

And I think that has something to do with Target, but I'm not really sure.

Day 2

My wife began laughing today... a LOT. But then, abruptly, her laughter broke into a disconcerting grimace that reminded me ever so slightly of a gargoyle.

I tried to remind myself, "This is going to be a good thing. This is going to make a difference," and my wife proceeded to give me a long-winded rant about how Satan tempted Jesus, and how this is my temptation in the desert. Shortly after, I found her reading her Bible in Matthew chapter 4, repeating, "40 days of THIS?!"

She tried to go to Walmart and even made it about 10 feet into the store... but then she sped home and took a shower for 45 minutes.

Day 3

Have you seen The Shining? The way Jack Nicholson slowly becomes unhinged?

It's beginning to feel like that on day three, at the house. Several times, I caught her petting picture frames. When I asked if everything was okay, she said, "I can't find gallery frames for an excellent price anywhere. You know. Think of the frames."

Later, I caught her piling bath bombs onto her side of the bed.

I said, "Honey, what are those for?"

And her answer was a little terrifying. I can't really remember. Only something about the onslaught of a war of sparkles and tiaras. So I don't know what that means.

And I didn't ask.

Day 4

The shakes have begun. Confusion has overtaken her eyes. Every couple of minutes she gasps and looks around, face full of panic.

She cries in agony, "WHERE will I find oversized blouses?" She gasps again, "What if somebody has a birthday? Where am I going to go? Where am I going to go? What if there is a birthday?"

Day 5

Midway through lunch, my wife shrieked, realizing she was only seven decorative pillows away from an empty bed top.

Our day somehow got worse when news broke that Chip and Joanna Gaines had just released their new candle trough.

That was day five.

Day 6

The rations have vanished.

The boycott now has begun to affect the family's food supply. This morning, I asked my wife, "Do we have any milk?

My wife whispered, "Don't you know where the milk comes from? Don't you know where I get the milk?"

I answered, my voice quivering, "Milk? What milk? I don't need any milk!"

She was almost out of Meyers soap and nearly caved when the revelation kicked in that she might have to go to Walmart.

To make matters worse, Target had just released their new Meyers fall scents, including, but not limited to pumpkin spice—and if you don't have pumpkin spice Meyers soap, who are you, really?

Then things really spiraled when she needed to pick up Starbucks honey flat white and some new laundry detergent. For the first time in a long time, this was going to require TWO stops, and let me tell you, those two stops did not make her happy.

At bedtime, she locked herself into the guest bedroom and insisted on being left alone.

Day 7

For the first day, I have a little hope.

The whole thing was awful. Terrible. Miserable. Heartbreaking.

But still not bad enough to make me or any of my friends want to chug down a Bud Light.

Do aliens... EXIST? Or is it a distraction?

Rastan | Getty Images

Yesterday, whistleblower David Charles Grusch, a decorated Air Force veteran claimed the Department of Defense has a secret team aimed at "retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed."

Talk about UFOs and aliens has typically been siloed to the realm of sci-fi and "conspiracy theories." However, in recent years, publicized evidence of UFOs and whistleblowers, like David Grusch, have brought the once fantastical subjects into the mainstream. Could it be that alien life forms do, in fact, exist? Have they already arrived and been kept secret underneath the government's nose? Or could this all be a ruse to distract us from more pressing stories in the news cycle?

We want to hear from YOU! Do YOU think aliens and UFOs are a distraction tactic, or do you think there's truth behind these whistleblowers?

Do you believe the government has intel about UFOs?

Do you believe the government has intel about alien life?

Do you believe the government is hiding this intel from the general public?

Do you believe alien life exists? 

Do you think the media is using this story to distract us from other issues?
