Can I Get an Amen?
OCTOBER 17, 2007

GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

GLENN: From Radio City in Midtown Manhattan, hello, you sick twisted freak. Welcome to the program. Glad you're here. You know, may we stop the music here just a second? Because I'd like to get very, very serious about -- stop the music, Dan. I need to get -- could we please have some respect? We're about to talk about the savior Al Gore, and I know a lot of people don't like to look at him as the savior but I believe he is. Can I get an amen?

DAN: Amen (whispering).


Celebrate Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize with our Glenn Beck exclusive, Screw the Caribou, Drill Alaska t-shirt.

GLENN: Al Gore is preaching the truth! Can I get an amen?

DAN: Amen (yawning)

GLENN: Al Gore is trying to save this planet while George Bush betrays this country. Can I get an amen?

DAN: Amen.

STU: Amen (whispering.)

GLENN: The whole world is in rapture, the truth finally being spoken from high, what I was going to say, high upon a mountaintop but it's more like high in a big, you know, G5, which is a very sweet ass jet. But he's in that jet right now and he's singing. He's singing the truth. He's brave enough to speak it. Usually not in its entirety and sometimes a little misleading, but he's speaking portions of the truth. Can I get an amen?

STU: ... amen.

GLENN: Stu, hang on just a second. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to -- I'm sorry to leave the pulpit here for a second but I just notice that Stu is taking down our planet in peril poster.

STU: Pardon me?

GLENN: You are hanging that back up, aren't you? On one side -- I got it out of USA Today. On one side it's a planet in peril. It's a poster. On the other side it's a calendar.

STU: Yes, it is.

GLENN: So we can have it there the whole year.

STU: Yes, it is.

GLENN: Why did you take it down?

STU: It fell down, Glenn. My first guess here is that the -- because it was held up by scotch tape, that the Earth has warmed since we hung it and it's loosened the ties.

GLENN: Can I get an amen?

DAN: Amen (whispering.)

GLENN: So Al Gore gets off his G5 and he immediately goes to Arizona for a party celebrating his Nobel Peace Prize, and he had big wigs from Coca-Cola -- hang on. Might have to give up Coca-Cola. Anyway, had big wigs from Coca-Cola -- damn it. Pepsi was there as well, Toyota, AT&T, Home Depot. Environmentalists love Home Depot. When I think of an environmentalist haven, I think of the place where they've got a whole bunch of lumber sitting there. They all arrived at a -- 90 guests flew in from all over the country and they arrived at a chic restaurant in a caravan of Toyota Priuses. No media was allowed at the dinner and here's what they -- here's what they had. They had seared tuna. Hey, Stu?

STU: Yes, Glenn?

GLENN: You know you're supposed to think globally, act locally, right?

STU: You should act locally but then think globally.

GLENN: Think globally, right. Have you ever had some of that really good desert tuna from Scottsdale, Arizona?

STU: You know, I haven't.

GLENN: It is so sweet and succulent.

STU: Because it doesn't seem like that it would necessarily be the best environment to --

GLENN: You'd think that but, you know, you've got to think globally but act locally. So they had seared tuna and it was curried with eggplant and then they had miso-cured, wasn't that -- no, that was miso-horny. Miso-cured Alaskan butterfish?

STU: Glenn, I'm sorry. You just misspoke. That was miso-cured, Scottsdalian butterfish.

GLENN: No, it's Alaskan butterfish. It came in from Alaska.

STU: They were thinking globally -- what you're thinking is they are acting globally and thinking locally. That's not what it is. They are acting locally and thinking globally.

GLENN: Stu, you are thinking that. They are only called Alaskan butterfish because they used to only be found in Alaska but now because of global warming, Alaska is hot and Arizona is cool. The butterfish were starting to melt and so they walked down to Arizona. I'm sure that's what it is.

STU: Is that why -- that's why they are called butterfish because they were melting like butter.

GLENN: They were melting like butter and, Greenland, Iceland --

STU: No, Greenland is the icy one. Iceland is the green one.

GLENN: It was never -- it was named Greenland because you couldn't see any green. You would never see trees.

STU: Right.

GLENN: It was always covered in ice.

STU: Thank you. That's because it's never been warmer than right now. That's how we know that.

GLENN: That's right, that's right.

STU: There was a nation of colorblind people who thought green was white.

GLENN: Do you realize there are some people that actually think the H on your little hot water tap and the C, that it stands for hot and cold and, you know, it's always been that way?

STU: No, no, definitely not. That was reversed.

GLENN: It was reversed. Used to have the hot coming out of the cold water and the cold coming out of the hot water, just like Greenland has always been covered with ice, thus the name Greenland.

STU: Greenland, land of green.

GLENN: So anyway, they had the Alaskan butterfish which I hear is so perfect, especially this time of year. Then they had a guinea hen. I don't know where guinea hen, are those from New Guinea or Old Guinea? I'm not sure. But they were hens from Guinea, or just guinea hens. I'm sure -- if it's from Scottsdale, I'm sure they went and they have free range guinea henned areas where you can take them -- well, you wouldn't want to shoot them because guns are wrong, but you would go out and you would hunt them with your hands there on, like, Central Avenue. You would go to have them in Scottsdale but you would have them, like, in Phoenix.

STU: Well, I would assume they were more local than that.

GLENN: Then you had Kobe strip loin. So you've got beef from Japan.

STU: Not necessarily.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: I don't know. Maybe it was perhaps purchases by Kobe Bryant who is in nearby Los Angeles and maybe --

GLENN: Good, good.

STU: The farmer that raised the cattle.

GLENN: Maybe it's the fruit of the loins of Kobe. Could be. You know we have an overpopulation problem. Maybe they killed Kobe Bryant's children and ate their loins.

STU: I hope not. That would be wrong. It's terrible.

GLENN: That would be bad but it's an overpopulation problem that I think we need to talk about. Then they had butter poached lobster medallions.

STU: The lobster in Scottsdale.

GLENN: In Scottsdale the lobster is great.

STU: When I think globally but I act locally and that's how I know that this --

GLENN: Then they had green martinis specially made for them, green.

STU: So those would be icy because Greenland is icy. So the martini would be frozen.

GLENN: Yes, but they would be melting, just like Greenland.

STU: Just like the polar bears. They are melting, too.

GLENN: So just a recap here. Looks like they had something from around Hawaii with the tuna, they had something from the Pacific. Then they had -- they flew in some butterfish from Alaska. Then I don't know where you get guinea hen from. I mean, you know, they drove that in from downtown Phoenix. Then they had strip loin from Japan. Then they had the lobster from the Atlantic and then the green martinis. So --

STU: Yeah, but this is a little misleading. What if -- we should obviously consider that this man won a Nobel Peace Prize for lowering -- not lowering CO2 emissions but talking about or making a movie about CO2 emissions.

GLENN: And not being willing to sign any kind of pledge that he himself, the grinch, will stay on the same CO2 emissions that he's at right now. He won't sign a pledge that says I will not increase my carbon footprint, I promise and pledge that my carbon footprint will be exactly the same as it is right now, he won't take that pledge.

STU: Wouldn't -- I don't know why he would.

GLENN: No.

STU: Because he wants to lower them. That's not going to be the same.

GLENN: Why would you do it when the country has to do it? It's not going to be him that will do it. It's the country that has to do it.

STU: He's the one that's been talking about it. If you think about it, Glenn, yes, these products from came over. You are assuming they were flown in.

GLENN: I said the butter fib walked.

STU: What happened if, you said the hen, the guinea hen. What if the guinea hen flew over to Japan, picked up the Kobe beef, flew back emission free, then they just killed the hen there because then you have both.

GLENN: Doesn't explain the lobsters or the butterfish.

STU: Well, maybe the butterfish stopped by the lobster. They are both sea creatures. When he was walking by.

GLENN: Okay. Anyway, let's not overthink this. I did, by the way, come up with another indigenous menu for Phoenix. If he ever wants to do it again and he wants to just -- I mean, remember, please. Think globally but act locally. Only buy food that you can grow around you. Don't import. Don't go to these supermarkets. Don't go to these supermarkets! Go to organic farmer markets. Only eat the food that can be grown around you. Jeez, how many times do these people have to tell us before they'll -- before we finally catch on and realize that that's good for us and bad for them but good for us? My gosh.

So here's the -- if we want to think globally but act locally and let's say, Stu, I win, I don't know, some skating memo -- medal, okay? Because I am trying to point out that the ice rinks in America are all a little warmer than they were last year and the ice on the ice rink is melting and I get some award for bringing attention to that.

STU: So slush skating?

GLENN: Yes. And I get the slush skating medal.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And we decide, let's go to Phoenix because we're talking about global warming, let's go to the hottest place on the frickin' planet.

STU: And take a plane to get there.

GLENN: And take a plane to get there and get people to fly in from all over the country and get imported food.

STU: All this is obvious.

GLENN: Then I say, hey, hey, hey we're skaters, damn it, we care about the slush skating and I'm not going to be a hypocrite! So here's our menu. We're in Arizona. First, we start with a nice scorpion al orange, then we've got a little bit of cactus. I happened to find an owl in one of the cactus. I have to actually -- I'm being taken to jail because I cut the cactus down and I didn't realize that it was a protected thing that grew out of the ground. So I -- but anyway, don't eat the cactus because then you don't want to know the red tape. But the owl I found in the cactus. So I know there's 90 of you, but maybe somebody can have an eye. Bill, you can have the beak, the upper beak. Stu, you get the lower beak.

STU: Mmm, most tender part of the beak.

GLENN: And wash it down with black widow spider leg juice and right now we're defanging the black widow spiders. But I'm just trying to think globally but act locally.

STU: And by locally, you mean the place you flew to?

GLENN: Yes. I -- yes. In the giant G5 jet. But I'm carrying such an entourage now and the awards and the medals and the statues, they're all starting to build up. I may need to upsize to a Boeing business jet.

STU: Yeah, and that's some extra fuel because you need that for a heavy load.

GLENN: It's green fuel. You know, a lot of people don't know this. It's green fuel.

STU: Jet fuel is --

GLENN: If you can mate green martinis, you can't make green fuel? Hello, you put a little dye in it, don't think about that too long.
