Palin told of doing an interview last year with Beck under the Statue of Liberty in New York. She said she told Beck that her soldier son, Track, had gotten a tattoo of the statue on his forearm and she’d just been texting with him about what they knew about the monument. She said Beck sent Track a book with a chapter on the meaning of the Statue of Liberty.
"This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us, it was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptional from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies,” Palin said to cheers from the crowd.
Photo by Marc Lester/ADNBeck and Palin were interrupted at one point by a heckler, who was escorted out. Former Anchorage talk radio host Eddie Burke evidently had some role in corralling the protestor, as Palin said “thanks Eddie, Eddie Burke,” to applause from the Dena'ina Center crowd. “We all know each other here,” she told Beck.
“I know, it’s like a high school classroom,” Beck said.
There were about 80 protestors gathered outside the Dena'ina Center as people waited in long lines to get into the event, after paying between $73.75 and $225 for each tickets.
