Katie: Adrian from Florida said, "What do you mean by White Culture?"

Beck: Uh, um, I -I don't know.

Katie: You said he had a deep seated hatred for the White Culture. What is that? What is the White Culture?

Four attempts later -

Katie: Can you explain what you mean by the White Culture? Because some people might say, that sounds kind of racist.

Beck: Really? It's amazing to me that, for the first time I think in history, somebody can ask a question and say, don't you think? We have several pieces here, we have several pieces.

George Bush says, my grandmother was a typical African American, that had, uh, that had her views bred into her? You don't think maybe we would ask some questions about that comment?

How is it that for the first time, I think in history, you should check on it, somebody says, hey, there's some red flags here - maybe we should look at them? - has become the target. How am I the target for asking questions?

Katie: People just want to know. What - what is White Culture?

Beck: What is the White Culture. I don't know how to answer that that's not a trap. You know what I mean?

Katie: Yeah, I'm not trying to trap you, I'm just, I think people wanted to know what that meant exactly.

from the final few minutes of the video.

Beck: I'm not going to get into your sound byte gotcha game, which we already are. We already are.

Katie: No, actually, this is completely unedited, so if you felt like you wanted to explain it, you have all the time in the world.

Beck: Mmm hmm.

Katie: No? Don't want to go there? But basically, you stand behind your assertion, that in your view, President Obama is a racist?

Beck: I believe that Americans should ask themselves tough, tough questions. Americans should turn over all the rocks, and make their own decisions.

Glenn Beck never did answer that question.
