VIEIRA: But let me just, again, because this book is about finding your truth and, and owning it do you feel, do you look back over and say, “Yeah I’ve, there are places where I’ve crossed the line and I have to readjust the way, the discourse?”

BECK: Absolutely, absolutely! Absolutely. You’re not human if you don’t look back and say that was a mistake, that was a mistake.

VIEIRA: Like what? What are the mistakes you’ve made that you think that you say, “Geesh I wish I hadn’t done that.”

BECK: Let me, let me answer it this way. Back – we, we have such an interesting view of history. Political discourse is sometimes really in your face. Telling somebody that you’ve got a real problem, sometimes you really get into their face.

ABLOW: You have to.

BECK: Just like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went back and forth. John Adams was called a hermaphrodite by Thomas Jefferson. Adams responded and said [about] Jefferson, “Your children will be raped and your towns will be burned if he becomes the President.” Let’s keep political discourse in context of history. Children weren’t raped. Nobody killed each other

She asks him to distinguish what was a mistake. In response, he said “sometimes you really get into their face,” with reference to our “history.” And he goes on to defend his getting into their face by comparing himself to Jefferson and Adams - because no children were raped.

Now, after saying that he made mistakes, he backtracks and explains that he was only doing what the founding fathers did.

He says he made a mistake, and then proceeds to defend that mistake as being patriotic.

What is amazing is that anyone actually falls for this obvious manipulative lying.
