The Sobbing Nazi Saga: Christopher Cantwell Singing a Different Tune Facing Arrest Warrant

Christopher Cantwell, the white nationalist protester who said the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer in Charlottesville was “justified,” is singing a different tune now there is a warrant out for his arrest.

“I want to be peaceful; I want to be law-abiding,” Cantwell pleaded in a startling new clip where he explains that the media should stop characterizing Charlottesville, where white supremacists marched with swastikas and a woman was killed, as a “violent white nationalist protest.”

Cantwell was one of the white nationalist protesters interviewed by Vice as part of the documentary “Charlottesville: Race and Terror.”

Glenn, Pat and Stu couldn’t believe the clip on radio Monday.

“'We have tried to be good Nazis,'” Pat mimicked Cantwell’s lament. “’We tried to do all the good Nazi things.’”

Glenn was incredulous that our country is once again dealing with ideas that should be in the “dustbin of history,” including both fascism and communism.

“America, get a grip,” he said.

GLENN: This is -- this is really sad. The white -- the white supremacist, Chris Cantwell, who is, of course, a fascist. You know, here's a guy who says, you know, Hitler did nothing wrong. And then is -- is -- you know, saying, you know, Sieg Heil, and that, you know, the black race and the Jews need to be wiped out. And then is crying on television because there's a warrant out for his arrest.

Is he serious?

STU: Well, don't forget the -- don't leave off part where he gets booted from OkCupid and no longer has his account active.

PAT: Right.

STU: White supremacist.

PAT: Just because you're a white supremacist you can't date, you know, attractive females?

JEFFY: You can. You just can't get them through OkCupid.

GLENN: Okay.

STU: You just hope the market would shake out on OkCupid and people would maybe not want to date him.

But, no, OkCupid had to take that step and go in there and make sure.

GLENN: Right.

PAT: Facebook, I believe, also. Because Facebook has said that there is no place for hate.

JEFFY: Good.

PAT: Unless you hate Trump. Then there's a place. There's a lot of places for that.

STU: There's a lot of places for that.

PAT: Now, if you hate the right people, there's plenty of places on Facebook for you.

STU: It's a weird thing because how do you feel about this trend? Because this is the same thing -- this has been going on for the last weeks or -- and more, since Charlottesville, of everybody getting outed of these rallies and then they go to fire the person for where they were.

PAT: And they're getting kicked out of college. Colleges are booting them out.

GLENN: Yeah, that's the worst thing you can do. Maybe you could leave them in college so they can -- so they can get a clue.

STU: Yeah, maybe they would learn something that would disprove their beliefs.

GLENN: Maybe they would learn something that was -- yeah.

STU: Did you hear about the guy, who he was in Berkeley and he traveled across the country to go to Charlottesville. Went to the rally.

Twitter account was taking -- you know, looking at all the photos, trying to identify them. They identified this guy. He worked in the back kitchen of a hot dog place.

GLENN: (inaudible)

STU: No. It's called Top Dog, I think.

Yes. Apparently, good hot dogs, according to the reviews online.

GLENN: You would not want to besmirch the hot dog place.

PAT: No, you wouldn't. And he didn't because he had to leave.

STU: And so they say he resigned. There's a question as to --

GLENN: I don't believe there's a resignation process at Top Dog. I mean, "I hereby officially tender my resignation." I don't know if those letters are written at a hot dog stand.

STU: So I'm torn on this, because if you found out that Jeffy was at the Charlottesville rally with a hood and swastika flag, you would fire him immediately.

GLENN: Yes, and I would have a right as a company to do that.

STU: You would. And I would feel the same way, would not want to work with somebody like that.

GLENN: Correct.

STU: However, at some level -- because that's a public-facing job. As sad as it is, Jeffy actually interacts with the public. And I can understand that.

Is our goal, as a society, that a white supremacist never works again, so we just all come together and pay for him so he's on public assistance for the rest of his life? Is that what we all want out of this?

I don't know -- I'm torn because if I was a business owner, damn straight, I would be firing that guy. However, I don't know that as a society what we're saying is we don't want people who have crazy beliefs to have jobs at hot dog stands. I don't know if that's the right thing either.

GLENN: I don't know about the hot dog stand. But the hot dog stand is privately owned.

STU: Has the right to do it.

GLENN: You have the right to do it.

STU: The question is, is it what we want as a society?

GLENN: If they want to hire all white supremacists at the hot dog stand, the hot dog stand has a right to do that.

STU: Absolutely.

GLENN: And I as a customer have a right to go, "Don't go that hot dog stand. What are you? Nuts? They're all white supremacists."

STU: And I'm sure that's exactly what happened, right? People would say, "I'm not going to go there. There's a white supremacist making my hot dogs." But unless he was making worse hot dogs for black people. I mean, it's not necessarily affecting his job performance. He's not interacting with customers. I understand it because as a business owner, I would feel that way. However, the left has built a structure in which every single person who doesn't have a job gets paid for by us.

So now, instead of paying for hot dogs and this guy is living on his own, we're now going to funnel our tax dollars to this man so he can sit at home for the rest of his life because he has really crappy beliefs.

GLENN: And plot revolutions or whatever.

STU: Right. At least he was distracted by the ketchup and mustard before. Now he's going to just have all the free time in the world to sit here and plot world domination.

GLENN: No way to answer that, Stu. Because we're living in a society now that is so hell-bent on you've made one mistake in your life. I'm not saying that, you know --

STU: It's a big one.

GLENN: It's a pretty big one. But, I mean, you do one thing that society disagrees with, and you're out.

STU: Yeah, we go back to the Mozilla CEO. Again, he donated to a cause that won the election. The gay marriage proposition in California. This was not an unpopular -- it won. It wasn't like an unpopular thing, where 10 percent of the voters felt this really racist way. This was an actual successful ballot initiative. And he donated a couple hundred dollars to it, and he lost his job because of it.

This is such a -- I don't know what standard and what we're trying to implement here. But I'm very torn on that one.

GLENN: There is no standard. It's mob rule. There is no standard. Do you hear anybody saying from either side, hang on. Hang on. Guys, guys, okay.

I see the point of the statues. I see your point. Because I agree with you. Some of these statues are -- I mean, these guys were all traitors to the United States of America. And they were all -- many of them, not all of them, white supremacists. They -- they believe in the superiority of white people.

Now, let's separate those people like Thomas Jefferson, who believe that because that was the standard operating procedure back then.

Everybody believed that. And look at Thomas Jefferson and look at his writings where he's like, "You know what, I don't think they -- I don't think we are superior in all ways, guys. I -- I think we're missing the boat here. I think there's some things here that we're missing."

Let's -- let's take people back in their time period and then look. Were they, yeah, I don't really care and I'm just going to chain them because I can because they're furniture and never had any kind of an awakening and tried to fight against slavery. That's Thomas Jefferson.

That's not Jefferson Davis. That's not Jefferson Davis.

STU: It's not Woodrow Wilson.

GLENN: It's not Woodrow Wilson.

STU: Who took a country moving the way towards freedom and tried to drag it back into chains, and he's still praised.

GLENN: No, he didn't try. He did.

STU: And he did. He reignited the KKK.

GLENN: Margaret Sanger -- Margaret Sanger is one of the biggest -- and she still -- I got news for you, Andrew Jackson, he's not affecting anybody today.

Whatever he started is not affecting anyone today.

PAT: Margaret Sanger's legacy sure is.

GLENN: Sure is. And still killing black people at quite a clip.

PAT: Yep.

GLENN: And that was her whole point.

PAT: Yes, it was.

GLENN: So do you see anybody sitting down and saying, "Okay. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. All right. Let's look at history. Let's really look at history. Let's have this conversation."

First of all, is that really your priority? Is this your priority? We are so -- we're so free of problems, that we can sit down and say, "You know, that statue in the park, let's get down to that." We're so free of problems, that that's what we're spending our time on. Wow.

STU: And the media members who have been advocating that viewpoint -- we've got to remove all the offensive statues -- walk around the city that they live in, in New York, and are faced with all sorts of offensive artwork and statues. And do they do anything about it?

GLENN: No.

STU: No. Of course not. Because it's not real, right? It's not what they actually believe. It's just in front of them as the news of the day.

GLENN: Nobody -- nobody believes this stuff. Nobody.

Fringes believe it. Fringes believe it. There aren't people -- the only reason why I think the average person on the right is concerned about this at all is because you know they're coming for George Washington. I mean, they already are. They're coming for George Washington. They're coming for Thomas Jefferson. They're coming for Benjamin Franklin

PAT: Yeah, did you see the National Mall -- the foundation that runs the National Mall, they're already going to redesign some of the Jefferson Memorial, to include that he was a slaveholder and those --

GLENN: Yeah. If -- and I don't have a problem with that, if they represent that correctly.

PAT: Right. Right.

GLENN: George Washington -- you were not allowed, in Virginia, to free your slaves. Thomas Jefferson fought the Virginia legislature twice. Twice he tried to change this. They kept making it stronger. George Washington freed his slaves on death, which you could do if you were debt-free. He freed his slaves on death --

PAT: And they eliminated that loophole that Washington used.

GLENN: Correct. And it's the only way you could -- you could free your slaves. Eliminate the loop hope, or in Thomas Jefferson's case, you couldn't do it also if you were in debt. If you were in debt, that was an asset. You had to sell the slaves to pay off your debt after you're dead.

So don't talk to me about that. If you want to put that history in with the Jefferson Memorial and say, "He was the most conflicted man ever. He wrote all men are created equal." And at times, it seems as though he missed that point. But he was a deeply conflicted man in the time period that he was living. He was trying to figure it out and way ahead of most people.

PAT: You're not going to get that explanation at the memorial. You're just not going to.

GLENN: No. You're never. You're never going to get it.

JEFFY: Not a chance.

GLENN: Why would you get it at a memorial, when you can't get it at a class in a university?

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. And still, in the article, it mentions, "And he's believed to have fathered six children of slaves." Can we stop with that false narrative? It's a lie. He did not. It has -- it's been so discredited now for 20 years. Can we put that to rest? It wasn't him.

STU: I mean, even though --

PAT: Unbelievable.

STU: They even say that his, you know --

GLENN: Yeah. At Monticello.

STU: Monticello even says it.

PAT: It's crazy. It's crazy.

STU: I mean, they say it's most likely true.

PAT: It is not. It is not most likely true.

GLENN: Well, when you can show me the DNA evidence. And that's what they base that on, on DNA evidence. That evidence was evidence for about, what? Three weeks, Pat?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: For about three weeks before it was disproven to be an absolute lie. And it was corrected by all the press. But apparently, history books didn't get that memo. Why? Because they have an agenda.

That's why.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
