Glenn Beck has now admitted that he misled audiences at his campaign appearances for Sen. Ted Cruz when he told them the copy of Don Quixote he held in his hand was the same copy that George Washington purchased on the day the Constitution was signed. Beck now admits that the copy he was displaying at Cruz rallies was actually printed in 1796 - 9 years after the Constitution was signed...
"I have incorrectly stated that my copy is the copy that Washington purchased the day he signed the Constitution..."

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:
GLENN: But while we’re here kind of talking about history this half-hour, I just want to address something that came out from the Huffington Post yesterday.
And I think outrageous.
The Huffington Post wrote a story, and it says, you know, Glenn Beck’s people didn’t respond for comment.
Well, we weren’t given a chance to comment on a story.
They put a phone call in and then pushed print.
And they went to press on this story, as they called us.
We had no time to respond.
And it is the sloppiest journalism I have ever seen.
They ran a story.
And it’s all over Twitter this morning.
They ran a story that I have this copy of George Washington’s Don Quixote, which I’ve been taking around and talking about in all of my speeches.
And they claim — they called Mount Vernon to find out if that’s George Washington’s copy of Don Quixote.
And they said — and Mount Vernon said, “We have George Washington’s copy of Don Quixote.”
So Glenn Beck must be a liar.
Here’s the thing, George Washington owned three copies of Don Quixote.
An English — I’m sorry — two English and one in Spanish.
I have the second English version that he bought.
In his library, it has his writing in it, it has his book plate in it.
My copy was given to Tobias — what was his name?
Tobias Lear.
Tobias Lear was the personal secretary that was at the bedside of George Washington when he died.
He then gave it to his son, Benjamin Lincoln Lear.
This book has — from the personal library of George Washington book plate over it.
Over that book plate is a book plate that says Benjamin Lincoln Lear.
It also has George Washington’s handwriting in it.
Mount Vernon will not deny that George Washington had three copies, and he gave one to Benjamin — or, he gave one to Tobias Lear.
How — how do I know they won’t deny it?
Because there are records at Mount Vernon that show it.
He was a record keeper.
This book came from the Lear family, through an auction in Maine.
They finally let it go.
It went to an auction house called the James D. Julia Auction House.
Highly respected.
It was bought by Bauman Books in New York.
Bauman Books, the reason you would ever pay the price that Bauman pays —
because you’re not getting a deal when you go to Bauman, is because you know the provenance.
You know that this is — is impeccably recorded on exactly — when they say this is what it is, that is exactly what it is.
Somebody brought it from Bauman Books, and I bought it from them.
Now, I don’t think you care at all about rare book dealers, you know, previously had a book from George Washington.
But you know who does care?
Me.
And here’s why:
Trying to make logical sense of Beck is tilting at windmills, man.
Guilty... “:^)
Yet Trump supporters eat up... this.
WALLACE: Mr. Trump, question: do you support the individual mandate on Obamacare or not?On "Meet the Press":TRUMP: Right. Let me explain to you. First of all, I don't want mandates for anything. I want people to get. I don't want people dying in the streets.
I was actually talking over Anderson Cooper, who I thought it was a great interview and he's a great interviewer. But I was talking over him. He was talking at the same time. He mentioned the word "mandate," and I was talking about something else, to be honest with you. It doesn't matter. It's not a very complicated -
WALLACE: But, wait, you said "I like the mandate".
TRUMP: I like - I want people to be covered that cannot afford to be covered that are - I don't want people dying in the streets. That's not mandate. That's me. That's having a heart.
I don't want people dying in the streets. I don't want people to have no health care whatsoever and they're in the middle of the street dying. And I talk about it all the time.
And you know what? When I give these speeches where I have 10,000 and 15,000 and 20,000 people and I talk as a Republican, as a conservative Republican, and I talk about that and I say, "I don't want people dying because they have no money," I get standing ovations.
You know, the Republicans are not bad people. I get standing ovations. So, I think it's very important. I'm not going to have people dying in the street if I'm president. I can tell you that. You can call it whatever you want.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, on the mandate, if you look at the mandate, we had a situation where we were, Anderson Cooper, who's terrific, by the way, and did a terrific job, but we were talking over each other. Look, I want, we're going to repeal and replace Obamacare. Obamacare is a total and complete disaster. It's going to be gone. We're going to come up with a great healthcare plan, whether it's healthcare savings accounts, we have a lot of different things. We're going to get rid of the lines between states, we're going to have great competitive bidding. But I say all the time, you can call it anything you want. People are not going to die in the middle of the street. People are not going to die on the sidewalk if I'm president, okay?Trump will do something about stuff, and it will be great.CHUCK TODD: Well, let me get something definitive from you on this.
DONALD TRUMP: But Chuck, I say that, excuse me, I say that to packed houses with thousands and thousands of people, Republicans mostly, and I get standing ovations. I'm not going to let that happen. If I'm president, we're not going to have people dying on the streets. So you can call it whatever you want. I don't call it a mandate, I just say it's common sense.
CHUCK TODD: No, I understand that. Well, let me ask you this. Do you think that it should be a law that anybody who can afford health insurance has to have it?
DONALD TRUMP: I think, no, I think it's going to be up to them, okay? I want it to be up to them. But I'm really talking about people that can't afford it. We're not going to let people die in squalor because we are Republicans, okay? That's part of the problem with the Republicans, where somehow they got fed into this horrible position. We're going to take care of people. But no, people don't have to have it. We're going to have great plans, they're going to be a lot less expensive than Obamacare. They're going to be private. There are going to be lots of different options. We're going to have a lot of different options. Right now you have no options. You know why? Because the insurance company controlled Obama because they gave him a lot of money. That's why you have lines around the states. And you can't get competitive bidding.
Beck is tilting at windmills.
