‘This is heroic’: Glenn Beck applauds Penn Jillette’s remarks on alleged Trump ‘Apprentice’ tapes
The Blaze ^ | August 15, 2018 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 08/15/2018 2:09:31 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former “Celebrity Apprentice” star Penn Jillette had the perfect opportunity to smear President Donald Trump in a recent Vulture interview titled, “In Conversation: Penn Jillette Talking magic, truth, and Trump’s alleged Apprentice Tapes.”

As the name implies, the interview was, by and large, a probe for damaging information about Donald Trump, namely Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s claim that there is a tape of him using the N-word on “Celebrity Apprentice.”

As Glenn noted on Wednesday’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Radio Program,” Jillette is no fan of Trump. And yet, after saying he was “in the room” and had overheard Trump saying “damaging things,” Jillette refused to elaborate on exactly what he’d heard. He called himself “an unreliable narrator,” adding, “I guarantee you that I will get details wrong.”

Here’s an excerpt from the interview, which you can read in full here.

If Donald Trump had not become president, I would tell you all the stories. But the stakes are now high and I am an unreliable narrator. What I do, as much as anything, is I’m a storyteller. And storytellers are liars. So I can emotionally tell you things that happened racially, sexually, and that showed stupidity and lack of compassion when I was in the room with Donald Trump and I guarantee you that I will get details wrong. I would not feel comfortable talking about what I felt I saw in that room.

“I will tell you things, but I will very conscientiously not give you quotations because I believe that would be morally wrong,” he added. “I’m not trying to protect myself. This really is a moral thing.

“I think this is heroic,” Glenn said. “Here’s a guy — when the rest of the world is taking things out of context or ignoring (ah, Chris Cuomo,) ignoring things about people who should not be ignored (Antifa,) but because they are the enemy of your enemy, you make them your friend — here’s a guy who says ‘I don’t want any part of this.’ Yes, I saw things, but I interpret things emotionally and I can tell you what I felt but I can’t tell you what he said because I don’t know if I’ll remember it right.'”

Prove it. Unless you you can magically prove it by taking that tape out of your ass..

Former Never Trumper Glenn Beck Jumps on The Trump Train. “When explaining his MAGA-conversion, Beck gave two main reasons for potentially voting Trump in 2020: the president’s supposed successes in office, and a distaste for how he is covered by the media.”

Googled it

was the only sane rational comment about it I could find. The rest is the usual hysteric leftist ad homine drivel

Penn is trying to look so noble.. He is actually condemning President Trump while saying he will not.

He’s implying Trump said certain damaging things, but is unwilling to say what they were. Why is he holding back? He would be well paid for any dirt he could provide. This suggests to me that he doesn’t really have anything.

I think Penn Gillette is noble here. People say things when they believe they are amongst friends. WE ALL DO. And remember, this was before he had political aspiration. It is amoral to take something someone said years ago in a certain context and relay it in the context of today. I commend him.

I DON’T CARE. I voted for a competent, pro-American capitalist, and so far that’s what I’ve gotten.

Beck went off the rails years ago.
Is he still on the air?

You’re right. Very wimpy and typical method of a person trying to sound “moral” while having no moral code.

Penn thinks his deceptiveness is intelligent, but it’s nothing more than classic passive aggressive behavior.

I live in Texas, my property tax is $11,000, for a 2400 sq ft home and 10,500 sq ft lot. Are you sure you got the number right in your post?

Scrolling down on that Realtor link, it says 2017 property taxes were over $110,000.

At age 84, I do not know of anyone who has noticed
the N-word at some time. Especially in ethnic humor.

Sharp, cutting implements, like a knife, can hurt me.
Sharp, cutting words cannot unless I agree with
the slur or putdown.

I am thankful for my rational behavior training.
