Want to know what Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck told the thousands who gathered at Safeco Field Saturday to hear him?
Beck spoke at Safeco Field Saturday in an event sponsored by the Evergreen Freedom Foundation. (Josh Trujillo/seattlepi.com) | See more photos Someone put the entire appearance on YouTube. And all told, he said nothing shocking.
Beck advised the crowd to focus on the message, not the messenger -- admitting that he himself is mainly an entertainer -- and at one point asked if they knew any Democrats who were out to destroy the country.
Attendees shook their heads and murmured no. See the videos below.
By the way, for those of you who were looking for real-time reports from inside the Mount Vernon hall where Beck later received the key to the city from a mayor who's faced citywide criticism for the decision, there's a reason you didn't find any.
Despite Mayor Bud Norris' assurances last week that attendees would be allowed to bring cell phones if they wanted to take pictures, cell phone service was nowhere to be found inside the hall -- jamming the Skagit Valley Herald's attempt to live-tweet the event before it started.
"Now I would give my right arm to live in Mount Vernon," Beck told the crowd, according to the Herald. "And I learned today there are a ton of people who are ready to cut it off -- and they would. But it doesn't bother me because I have the key to their house."
The event raised $10,000 for the Lincoln Theater. Beck announced at the event he will donate an additional $10,000 of his own money to the venue.
Plenty of protesters posted videos from outside the Mount Vernon hall on YouTube. See them here.
Beck is doing incredible work
Pray for his safety
