1:45Now PlayingGlenn Beck ran into actor Richard Dreyfuss by surprise backstage at a Ted Cruz rally over the weekend and had a chance to show the actor two of George Washington's personal artifacts he was carrying with him in a briefcase. (VideoJosiah Ryan )
One was George Washington's compass, which he received at age fourteen and carried with him for his entire life. The other was the first president's copy of Don Quixote,
"A compass is used for exactness," said Beck, later from the stage. "I’m here to support Ted Cruz because he is exact in everything he does. His word is his bond. He believes, as George Washington did that deeds not words."
Beck said Washington went and purchased the copy of Don Quixote just hours after signing Constitution signaling that the responsibility of keeping the Constitution was now in the hands of the voters.
He joked it was the modern day equivalent of running to Barnes & Nobles.
"The response is always the same, especially for his compass — reverence and awe," Beck said later on his Facebook, referring to his encounter with Dreyfuss.
