Personal story segment tonight a pal Glenn Beck has been very busy down Texas apparently he tried to by Al Gore's -- cable network.

And now he says he's re -- -- media company as a libertarian operation John Stossel be very pleased that.

That joins us now from Dallas.

How to how to -- accident.

This is this is what all of the media's reporting and I appreciate billion giving me a chance to clear this up I'm not re branding -- thing.

Now the media just picked up on the fact that this week I said look.

If the Republicans and the Democrats are going exactly the same place and it's a diminishing return here did the difference is getting smaller and smaller.

The growing segment is the libertarian movement and that's what we concentrate on my network and that's what we -- Ever what does that what does that show military and -- let's let's take the debt ceiling okay which is that we just talked about.

Yeah where we are sixty and a half trillion dollars all right and obviously any intelligent person knows we keep going this way.

That US dollar's gonna collapse which is why you demand to be paid gold.

All right so what is a libertarian outlook on that is it was a libertarians say we don't want any paper money anymore what is the what are you.

-- -- you know I can't speak for the libertarian.

One in Miami certainly some libertarian I I am I could -- for me as a libertarian but that is a very wide platform.

For me stop spending cut the size of the government.

Go into reason you know you're just talking a minute ago about this new calling the yeah -- you -- your mind in -- Washington and Washington is a bill the fact that they're even debating it shows you -- Far from reality they really are -- a day that's probably on the current TV network which -- wanna get into it and now back -- you.

Did you really make a formal offer to buy this -- network -- it happened.

Here's what happened we called we debated back and forth because I think it was worth about half of what they paid.

And so we debated back and forth and so we thought OK you know what if we can get that number of households it's worth it let's call up and then make it off -- -- -- -- -- 250 million dollar offered we will know we called them up and we said.

So we wanna make an offer bottle -- they -- great and who is this Mercury.

Company whose it was that that -- And they said well we -- that would have to actually go.

To the vice president I don't IBM IQ we're gonna.

Call you back within fifteen minutes they called us back and they said -- the vice president has a reputation.

And under no circumstance will -- Ever entertain and offer from Glenn -- all right even if I was 500 or seven and you know -- wouldn't we never got to the table we weren't allowed to the table you have his -- the -- -- release -- his legacy of his Netanyahu is -- important -- we sold -- -- Al-Jazeera guys what I -- -- How do you process it personally when you are more a little -- them.

To Al Gore then -- more I Osama bin Laden and you're all there I want that on my resume.

I think what another -- it's a bad.

And -- honored that I am more -- some that I am that I am not anywhere close to his agenda close to his values.

But and I just -- -- money from gulf oil sheiks or not I don't know why hasn't going so it's so much more than that it's so much more than that it's not just that he has.

He's claims all is global warming bull crap and that he really cares and then sells and takes all the -- the gulf oil money it's more than that.

His values he said that his network and Al-Jazeera were launched on the same values the network that was hiding information about Osama bin Laden.

And beyond that the people who started it and -- it -- women and homosexuals in their streets.

Wow I'm proud to not have the same cornerstone -- values others as Al Gore do you really believe though I I mean it's hard for me to believe that.

Gore.

We just dismiss you Mercury arts is your company and if they came up a legitimate offer.

Because he thinks you're -- allies who are limited a -- 110% you say you believe that Al Gore in his mind.

These that you wore Mormon threat to the -- I do then.

Al-Jazeera I do believe I really do believe first of all Al Gore I think is.

I think he's -- fraud but he's still fraud but I do absolutely believe that he is more in line with Al-Jazeera.

Then he is with any thing that I would preach American exceptional -- American common sense responsibility hard work.

Hey I live in Texas drill.

You bet I think he thinks I am I'm much more dangerous than Al-Jazeera he's that insane.

That is it trouble you at all that he was almost the president in the United States that it was just by the Supreme Court one vote they kept on many levels yes on many levels yes.

But what do what is disturbing in this particular case is that.

Here's a guy who used to Wear a flag lapel pin.

And then gets in bed again with an organization that C and then.

The said in march of 2002.

Then they are hiding information.

A bow out.

Osama bin Laden that would be good for the United States.

An organization that on the weekend has a regular you know.

Well like -- Jesus show except it's all about Mohamed.

Where they're talking about oh please -- give me the courage to still on the Jews to death but I mean when he was.

Anyway it's OL's sticks and stones can break your bones -- -- that yeah and Al-Jazeera back I -- I got to go but I I heard one -- I don't know the you know it's true or not.

But Al Gore doesn't Wear a flag lapel pin anymore he wears a lapel -- Hillary.

Is that true do you think by -- I bet that man for the right price will we hear anything on his lapel exact.

A Glenn Beck if -- -- that the that they are not happen the third through I don't get is it bad.
