Transcript (via Nexis):

BECK: See, I had this crazy belief that this was a Judeo-Christian nation that doesn't discriminate. If you want to build a mosque, I have no problem with you building a mosque -- unless we can't track the money down and you have been tied to Shariah law and terrorist organizations. It's tough to tell by the words and actions of our president now. What are we as a nation?

Here he is at the inauguration.

OBAMA: We're a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and non-believers.

BECK: That's never been said before. I don't think that's ever been said before by the president of the United States in that order. He needlessly throws his hat into the ring to defend the Ground Zero mosque. He hosts Ramadan dinners, which a president can do.

But then you just add all of this stuff up, his wife goes against the advice of the advisor, jets to Spain for vacation. What does she do there? She hits up the Alhambra Palace Mosque. Fine, it's a tourist attraction. But is there anything more to this? Are they sending messages?

I don't know. I don't know. I never had to look for messages before -- until we heard fundamental transformation and we all sat there like bumps on a log, thinking, well, I don't know what that means. It doesn't matter.

It matters! It matters!

It is tough to tell by the actions of our leaders.
