He did point out that the celebrations in American streets mirrored those in Palestine after the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks. But in Beck's book, that's not reason to not celebrate, it's a challenge to outdo them. So, Beck brought in a marching band and had cookies and confetti in the studio. With gimmicks like this, why would Fox ever want to get rid of the guy?
