Fire Pope
OCTOBER 16, 2007

GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

GLENN: By the way, I don't know about you, but I believe Pope John Paul is coming back as fire, in a campfire, don't you -- am I alone in this? Stu, did you see the spooky picture of Pope John Paul and the campfire?


Is this Pope John Paul II waving from beyond the grave? Vatican TV director says yes...

STU: Yes, I did, Glenn. It is amazing.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: The campfire has taken the shape of one picture of John Paul out of the millions of pictures that were taken of him and honestly it's obviously a sign from God.

GLENN: This is like the most viewed thing over in Europe right now. Europe -- here's this Godless -- this Godless collection of countries. I mean there's like -- no, there's like four people that actually still believe in God over in Europe, but they get a campfire in the shape of the Pope and they are all saying, there's the Pope; he's coming back as a campfire.

STU: I don't know. I think if I believe that's what God was, too, that he was wasting his time making the outline of people who we kind -- who we remember from a few years ago in a fire, I don't know that I would believe in that God, either. He would be wasting his time.

GLENN: Hang on just a second. It's not Pope John Paul. It's not a guy we kind of remember. Pope John Paul was a great man.

STU: No, I said we remember. He died obviously, but I just don't see why that would be on God's priority list. I just think he's got a lot going on.

GLENN: He's everywhere and nowhere. He's at the campfire. He's like, I'm at the campfire, I'm taken back, I wanted to have some good times. What, I wanted to make the fire look like Pope John Paul.

STU: I just don't think this guy is doing CGI special effects.

GLENN: I will have to say, I will have to say with all the stuff going on in the world, I will have to say that it is a poor use of God's time.

STU: I won't -- yes, I definitely agree with that.

GLENN: If you're going to do a miracle, throw us a bone with Nancy Pelosi a turkey, will you? Can you help us there?

STU: And I just don't -- like, I think if God wanted to send a message through fire, okay, he would probably make it really descriptive, perfect, make it freeze like that maybe for a few minutes. You know what I mean?

GLENN: That would be too obvious.

STU: Why can't he be obvious? Why not?

GLENN: He stopped being obvious in, you know, around 2,000 BC. He stopped.

STU: Well, Glenn, he does work in mysterious ways.

GLENN: He does.

STU: So I mean, his mysterious way's apparently roasting marshmallows. Apparently that's what he's decided.

GLENN: No offense, and don't get me wrong. I love Pope John Paul. He was a great, great man, did a lot of just spectacular things. He and Reagan are responsible for the dismantling of the Soviet Union. He was a remarkable man his entire life, but I don't think he's coming back as a campfire. I think that's a little -- I think that -- first of all, you know, the image of the Pope on fire, you would think that would be the last thing that he would want to come back as. Let me come as a burning effigy. I don't think that's a good thing.

STU: Yeah, it doesn't seem like it would be. But hey.

GLENN: Look, I believe in miracles, I do. I believe miracles happen. I said a minute ago that God stopped being obvious. That's not true. God has been -- God is obvious when you look for him, but I think when people are looking down at their cheese sandwich and they say, that's the virgin Mary... I don't think he's --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I don't think he's like, watch this... it's the virgin Mary on a cheese sandwich; how great is that, huh?

STU: If this is what he's doing, he's definitely -- I would say maybe later in life, you know, later in his production career has dropped production because back in the day he was making bread and now he's just staining sandwiches?

GLENN: Yeah. You're like, what happened to the parting of the Red Sea?

STU: That was cool.

GLENN: "I'm tired. Here's a cheese sandwich." I mean, I think you don't care as much? What is that?

DAN: Make a piece of bacon look like David or something and we'll call it a day.

GLENN: I don't think he's doing that. "Look at this; it's a knot in a tree. Oh, look, it looks like St. Peter." Nobody really those what St. Peter looks like. "Trust me, that's what he looked like."
