Salt Lake City, Utah – Estimates on the number of attendees are varying widely for Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in Washington DC this past weekend. Numbers range from just under 90,000 to Beck's own claim of at least 500,000. And that doesn't include the nearly 150,000 who watched the live Facebook stream across the country. Tuesday, we're talking about Beck, his decidedly religious message and what it reveals about the people who traveled to hear him.
