RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

STELTER: "And we’ve talked about that before, I agree with you, and we all need to be more self-reflective. There is a headline in The Daily Beast saying your company’s in trouble, you were trying to find a buyer. Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other, that if you want to create that media company, there’s no interest? What’s going on with that?

BECK: "Wow. Brian, thanks a lot. I think that’s the most ridiculous question I’ve ever heard. I’m sitting here ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents and trying to break families apart, something that has been happening with Janet Reno. That’s why it went to the Supreme Court in the first place, with Janet Reno. It’s been happening. We want to stop it, and you want to play those games? Have a nice day."

STELTER: "What game did I just play? So, the question on The Daily Beast website, the headline says Glenn beck’s media empire is imploding. Again, that’s the headline on “The daily beast.” It is well known that Glenn has been trying to sell “The blaze.” There was talk about a deal with “The daily wire.” According to “The daily beast,” that fell through. You can read the full story on “The beast” website. Frankly, I thought Glenn deserved a chance to address those reports. I hope he’ll come back and talk about it."
