I don’t think they called him. He was holding a paper in his hand so I think they must have emailed him. It was at the very end of his show he said their response was outrageous and that he would have to tell us tomorrow because he was out of time.
I saw the program too and Beck came back from commercial at approx. 59 minutes into the program, he said “the White House
e-mailed the show during break, denying the story, and we will get into it tomorrow”.
Above quote is not exact but as I remember it. I only saw part of the program but was astonished to hear Beck use the word treason when he referred to the base closing threat.
