Glenn Beck and Penn Jillette - Got Green?

[RBNightlinger]

If they really want to go green, they'd use all hemp paper and clothing and bio-fuel.



[simonwedege]

Did he say people are tired of symbolism? Republicans seems to like it a lot too.

[smithbrass]

this is kinda strange , penn cant stand beck just as much as he cant stand al gore.

[lewisner]

Penn is spot on. Atheist and skeptic on AGW.

[jor99912]

You know the easiest way o Identify a SCUMBAG?

It is their favorite SLUR:

Do You know the quickest way to ID a ""DOUCHE BAG??

[hoosiergambler]

"...guy who looks suspiciously like satan, if there was satan..."

wait, isn't beck a mormon? don't mormons believe in satan?

[unzarjones]

@hoosiergambler Can't Mormons have a sense of humor in your world?

[Saber10inch]

i dont agree with penn on everything but i like how he is actually reasonable

[abrightcoldday]

I wish Glenn Beck wasn't so dismissive. He just scoffs and smugly states that someone is wrong, crazy, etc.

[teabag619]

i hate how penn is trying to be serious and beck is just trying to crack jokes.

[FungusMossGnosis]

Penn Jillette is a natural fit for Fux News. This doesn't bother his "free thinking" followers?!

[zerakren]

HA! i think its really funny that Glen said Penn looks like Satan. i also have long black hair and a beard and people say that about me alll the time! xD

[andysciro1]

They surprisingly have great chemistry in all of their interviews. Pretty interesting!

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

I like penn, but he's a typical conservative, and typical atheist (he's always right, even when he's wrong)

[SelfAware1]

global warming, climate change, what the fuck ever, the point remains, our earth is not only our home but it literally is us. we grow out of this earth like apples grow from an apple tree. this planet peoples. taking care of it in everyway possible is a good thing and it is really taking care of ourselves. your self does not end at your skin, you depend on the sun just as much as you depend on your heart. you depend of vegetation and foilage like you do your lungs. we are connected period.

[tim2113buffam]

@SelfAware1 i take it you're a fan of Alan Watts

[SelfAware1]

@tim2113buffam haha yes, i employed some of his imagery here, im impressed you picked that up friend.

[tim2113buffam]

@SelfAware1 the second i saw the growing out of the earth like an apple part on your comment, I automatically new it was him.

[UKfilmluvr]

@SelfAware1Hmm... its almost like we were created by intelligent design! Hmm.. It's like the earth was actually created intelligently and not just a random happy accident. Something to think about oh, yeah, there is a book all about this, it starts "In the beginning God,

[SelfAware1]

@UKfilmluvr haha no. its not like that at all. even if god does exist he is laughing at teh christains and muslims and everyone else who think they know him so well. christ was just a man, no divinity. i read that book, it was smutty. im not a homophobic, slave owning, racists, mysogynist so the bible just wasnt for me. but if you are those things then the bible has a lot to say in support of you. but i dont hate gays, minorites or women so i didnt like the book.

[cassidy99ful]

@SelfAware1 your talking about the old testament. what did jesus say about racism,sexism, homophobia?christians are followers of the teachings of jesus christ.

[SelfAware1]

@cassidy99ful i wish it was true, but its not. you believe the bible was divinly inspired. have you even read the bible?? leviticus and dueteronomy?? read those books in the bible and come back adn argue about how beautiufl christain beliefs are. they are just myths that you were told when you were a kid so now you cant let go of them. if you were born in the middle east u would be talking about how allah is so great and teh koran is beautiful. silly religiuos myths..

[cassidy99ful]

@SelfAware1 no,the point is that there is nothing we can do to change global warming.so destroying our economy to make us feel better about something we have no control over is just stupid.

[SelfAware1]

@cassidy99ful i dont understand this... no one wants to destroy the economy but the planet is infinitly more important. its not about making us feeeel better its about taking actiion to care for our home planet bettter. even if global warming was determined to be false tomorow it wouldnt change my love for this beautiufl planet in the least, nor would i stop doing what i can to help the environment.

[majikninja07]

it doesn't matter when gas reaches any were near that it will be a complete shutdown of all food transportation

[Yanirakarola]

People need to realize that I'm not their mother and neither should the government! If you're poor....too the fuck bad for you! Why should I really give a fuck?

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

@Yanirakarola Mostly because a good chunk of the people who are poor now are not poor out of laziness, but out of how fucked up our system is (outsourcing, etc.)

[inrwizards]

@Yanirakarola ok, no, there r poor ppl that really r fucked. basically, if u're not 2 give em some sort of social safety net (and I agree that werlfare usually doesn't get them out of poverty) u should @ least give em universal healthcare, and u should really do more 4 children, they shouldn't be denied the same opportunities as other kids just because they were born in slums, something they have no control over, unlike the 40 year old lazy scum that sponge off the government.

[Aikwood666]

How mutch did they pay Penn to be on that BullShitter`s side? :P

[WinkyMaeve]

these guys are both fat, and extremely ignorant

[alexpitt5]

Penn is an asshole, but a loveable entertaining one, glenn beck is just a massive asshole

[RoboticsNShenanigans]

@alexpitt5 I'll drink to that.

[triplej89]

Are you serious, Penn is way bigger of an asshole then Beck, but I still enjoy listening to both.

[flyastarship]

" even if you don't have insurance, you can get help."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha

No you can't.

Hahahahahahahaa

Where the fuck does this guy get his information from?

You can't even get a tooth filled if you're over 18 on state insurance, They'll pull it, but won't fix it.

All the hospital has to do is "stabilize" you. Beyond that, you're fucked.

I'm done arguing with you. You're just a schill.

[flyastarship]

Do you realize in France and Canada you can get treatment even if you have a pre-existing medical condition?

Good luck getting that from Cigna. The day you need your insurance company, they WILL do everything they can to avoid paying. Denying claims is there game.

How the fuck do you support that? honestly, I am scared for America and the Fox News brainwashing, all while people need help, in the meantime, insurance companies continue their abuse.

Honestly how are you okay with this?

[flyastarship]

Ummm...I never said the quality was bad. I said the access is.

You don't understand how insurance companies work. Just sad.

[flyastarship]

You should work for the insurance companies. They would love you. You can spend all day denying people treatment, by any means possible, just to raise your bottom line.

Who gives a shit if someone dies....it's all about PROFITS!!!

[selj84]

yeah I'm sure that's what he meant...

[flyastarship]

I guess making shit up is your method of arguing. Cool.

[flyastarship]

Affordable accessible health care sucks? interesting.

[selj84]

no, but the means it is gotten does.

[surgeyX]

Al gore is the biggest douche bag in the universe...oh wait nvm thats John Edward...OK A.G. is #2 then. He knows nothing about science or truth, just propaganda.

[hellofaname]

@surgeyX

i'm super cereal

[flyastarship]

Saying Al Gore knows nothing about science is a really stupid thing to say. Like the guy or not, his movie provided a myriad of facts on global warming.

[TheRoharhe]

@surgeyX and Glenn Beck, Penn and Fox do?

[ninjanerd8]

We have 30 million people and not a single one of them would trade our system for yours. Keep believing the lies of your politicians if it makes you feel better. We'll be enjoying our vastly superior system while you rot and die you ignorant moron.

[kaj1657]

@ninjanerd8 sorry to break it to ya but nobody, not one single person is rotting or dieing. In fact just google the top 1000 hospitals in the world you might be surprised by what you find.

[PeterTheis]

Idiocy x 2

[runningfrog43]

"Looks like satan...if there was a satan," LOL

[VayMasters]

We were referring to Glenn Beck now. I never even saeen the guy before he was on Fox news.

[BenU314159]

I think he was in radio before fox... so you wouldn't have seen him.

You might have heard him though.

[dekanbackward]

did he say fuck at 1:55?

[hurrrrdurr]

I think that was just a "but", said under his breath.

[FuckYou6000]

he's nuts but he actually has a point so all you crybabies can comment elsewhere unless you're going to provide some sources; otherwise it's more mindless conjecture seen everywhere else.

[josephlovesit]

glenn beck's hair sucks

[sssspicard]

glen u r crazzzzzzzzzy

[ArgueExplain]

How about we all just promise to pollute less than Al Gore and be done with this global warming doom-and-gloom.

[ventilize]

i love the way you think.

[ninjanerd8]

There are many "liquids" that aren't water and are completely harmless. Making implications with absolutely ZERO evidence is unprofessional. Over 95% of all known compounds are organic. The idea that a cap that isn't "organic" can't be found is a flat out lie. Al Gore's evidence was manufactured but that doesn't mean pollution is good. Just because you can rightfully discard the carbon credit system as ridiculous doesn't mean that emissions are all of a sudden good for the environment.

[eric2dea]

legalization of heroine...seems a bit TOO radical for mee...

[ICTN218]

How is legalizing heroin that unreasonable? According to the study conducted by the Department of Justice, alcohol is the only drug shown to pharmaceutically encourage violence, not even heroin and cocaine do that. The correlation between illegal drugs and violence is largely due to the distribution that comes with illegality.

[eric2dea]

heart, liver, kidney disease

pulmonary complications, skin infections, overdose=death

the addiction, the withdrawal, constant vomiting

after taking the drug, breathing can result in respiratory failure.

and on the violence thing, i dont know if it was the kids messed up mind (which was either caused by drugs or caused him to take drugs) or the drugs, but he was doing heroine outside the school, and when a cop approached him, he stabbed him with the needle.

[eric2dea]

continued: also, i know a kid who raped an old lady after using marijuana. even if the only drug that can encourage violence is alcohol, a country might be TOO free to let their citizens kill themselves without intervention.

[ICTN218]

I know drugs have negative health effects, but do we jail people for overeating? Everyone knows that obesity kills more people than heroin.

As for your last statement, why would we allow drug users to rape people any more than we allow sober people? This isn't a good excuse to arrest responsible heroin users. Violent users should be treated just like violent nonusers. Also, we wouldn't have as much gang and drug cartel violence were drugs legal, because they would all go out of business.

[badmudda]

one, no you didnt.

and two, even if you did, that doesnt mean a thing, Your assuming his raping an old lady was caused by the marijuana, when he was most likely just fucked up to begin with.

[Feikman]

Both men are really smart.

Thumbs down me if you wish but Glenn Beck is a brilliant man, and I love listening to his voice of reason.

Now, Rush Limbaugh on the other hand...

[ninjanerd8]

Glenn Beck is a fucking moron. He rants and raves about what will happen if the US gets universal healthcare but is incapable of looking at the many real world examples of successful single-payer systems, even when one of them is right next door. In the last 40 years, US Medicare has increased in cost slower than the private sector and is currently less expensive to maintain than private insurance... Owned Glenn Bitch.

[ShaneSaw83]

Yes you did.  Thanks.

[ShaneSaw83]

Glenn Beck is a ranting, raving, crying, lying demagogue that constantly contradicts himself. I know, most people think he's a joke.

But this is what truly saddens me, and I mean this sincerely. This guy thinks he is "a brilliant man." How stupid does he have to be, to be in awe of Beck's intelligence?

Morons like him represent the 10-15% of the U.S. pop. that are devastatingly harmful.

Seriously, imagine how great this country could be if we could only rid ourselves of credulous fools.

[Yuber779]

1. Its his freedom of speech

2. Freedom of the press

3. Look at 1 and 2.

[VayMasters]

1. Hell yes

2. But he's giving an as fact. The channel is FOX "news".

Beck is obviously extremely biased, fake, and a horrible actor. Whether he's intelligent, or a nice guy is a completely different issue that we'd only maybe learn if we knew him personally, and not his TV personality.

[QuarantaSette47]

I dunno about your first statement, those other "neutral news" stations are quite fraudulent, underhanded, and have the same description you give. To continue my tradition in arguments like this, I must say... FUCK!

[VayMasters]

But at least those other news use fact to substantiate their point of view. Most shows on FOX news use lies to substantiate lies.

I think I'll stick with BBC, at least I know that's not in fighting.

[QuarantaSette47]

I haven't seen much honesty in news channels such as cnn and msnbc, especially msnbc and their recent lies. BBC isn't really that dishonest, but biased. I have nothing against being biased though.

[Somedumbassname]

I have no problem with him personally. You're welcome to call me all kinds of things because of that, though.

[inrwizards]

@Feikman the thing about is beck is, I agree with him on most things, but he's so obnoxious and exaggerates everything, I just think he doesn't much help our cause :S

[betterthanbarker]

I like penn, but I dont know why he associates with this asshole.

[hecubusXX]

this media talking head glenn beck comes across as a bitchy highschool girl.

[HighTensionWire]

glenn beck can cry into his hands whall he masterbates as thinks about how important he is.

[JFMstudio]

$150 a barrel of oil by the end of the year (2008 acording to this video) Really?

That's why I don't listen to Glenn.

[Gregoriose]

I'm sure glen beck knows what satin looks like too.

[nbc3886]

He probably has satin sheets...

[BenU314159]

LoL..... I really like penn, but he does look like Satan

[HerrSchenkel]

"Indulgences"...I love it!

[volcom13xx]

glenn is such an asshole

penn is really smart

[Yuber779]

I don't like Glen that much, but i deffinetly like Penn.

[cassidy99ful]

@Yuber779 even though glen and penn were in agreement?

[danning1]

@Yuber779 Please explain to me why Libertarianism (Penn) is superior to mainstream conservatism (Beck, Limbaugh, etc.). Because there's no religious element? Even though I'm not religious myself, in some ways that makes it even worse.

[hughes7520]

@Yuber779 I disagree with Penn on some issue's but your right, he is a really nice guy from the looks of it. And a fucking great magician.

[damthetorpeedos]

oh penn. how i love thee.

[lucybean975]

hmm. there is enough silliness in some parts of the green community to indict to dignity of us all. maybe forcing the notion of biodegradable balloons on the rest of the pop. isn't exactly helpful. still, you'd think a libertarian would support a grassroots boom in small green-based businesses (such as Gaiam/Real Goods, etc.)

[BankOfTheWorld]

"Glenn Beck crying"

Wow. o_O

[burnhippiesforfuel]

glenn cries at least once a week.

[atticusfinch1970]

What a complete idiot this Beck is. No wonder he finds an audience on fox news, the station that caters to ill-informed xenophobes.

[BankOfTheWorld]

Care to elaborate on your thoughts of him being an idiot?

[atticusfinch1970]

Sure, google "Glenn Beck crying" for an idea. Also, his wild statements about FEMA concentration camps, end of the world stuff, fear chambers, not to mention his well known mental health issues and his breakdown after "butt surgery" (his words) and you get the idea. Even O'Reilly and Shap Smith think he's over the top crazy and that's saying something (search for the interviews here). His ratings may be high, but so were Jerry Springers. People love a good train wreck I guess.

[directedchaos]

"When I mean water I often say water"

Except when he's trying to be an asshole and trick people, then he says dihydrogen monoxide.

Damn they're gay lovers.

[meredithgracek]

Yeah, because all people who love the environment know more science than your average 6th grader....... NOT!!!!

[jackslenore]

In that BS episode, they weren't really trying to "trick" people, more to expose how alot of tree huggers (and others) will sign petitions banning anything if you speak to them in that alarmist, environmentalist rhetoric.

[directedchaos]

"In that BS episode, they weren't really trying to "trick" people, more to expose how alot of tree huggers (and others) will sign petitions banning anything if you speak to them in that alarmist, environmentalist rhetoric."

Some chemicals ARE dangerous, water is NOT. If you said DDT was dangerous, you would NOT be lying. If you imply water is unhealthy, you ARE lying.

And they did: they said things like "water causes vomiting, excess urination" and implied it was new "NOW found in lakes.."

[directedchaos]

All that segment really showed was that people are gullible: we don't assume someone is lying to us.

Which is a pretty fucking reasonable stance, IMO -- it's horribly cynical to ASSUME someone is LYING to you.

Ultimately, they were just tricking them. It's OBVIOUS: NOBODY THOUGHT THEY WERE BANNING WATER. ERGO, THEY WERE TRICKED INTO BANNING WATER.

1-2 proof man, simple as that. They were tricked by lying, which is even worse.

[nadeau]

No they did called it water. If you took a science class you would understand that. If you a critical thinking you could of figured that out.

[NathanielEverist]

No, they did more than call it water by it's chemical name, they chose their words cleverly to imply that it was something that it wasn't. Like DirectedChaos said, the use of the words "NOW found in lakes" implies that it wasn't previously. "Causes excessive sweating, excessive urination", this simply isn't true unless you consume it in excessive amounts, which they didn't specify, sometimes what you choose not to say is just as powerful as what you do say.

[NathanielEverist]

She also said "anything to help the environment", implying that banning water would help the environment, which is wrong. "We really need to ban it", again, this is a lie. She talks about pesticide, Styrofoam and Nuclear companies, which are synonymous with environmental hysteria, but leaves out all the positive companies, again, insinuating that it's bad for the environment. I like Penn and Teller a lot, but as Penn himself said: "No ends justifies the means of lying".

[NathanielEverist]

That part of BS was in my opinion, BS, but I do love the show. Oh, and trying to demean a person's opinion by attacking the person just makes your arguments look weak. But, if you consider yourself such a critical thinker, let me give an example of similar rhetoric used in that BS clip. As you get more details about something that you don't know what is, the closer you get to finding out what it is...

[NathanielEverist]

1. It's organic.

2. It's acidic

3. Because of 2, it causes irritation to the eyes and areas of sensitivity like broken skin and such.

4. It's being studies as a possible cure/prevention of HIV.

5. It has antiseptic qualities.

6. Can be used to generate electricity.

7. Is often used as a pesticide.

Because of the information I've chosen to give you, I'm sure you're confused as to what it is. As I give a new piece of information each time, you'll get closer....

[NathanielEverist]

but without extra information, I doubt you would be able to figure it out, and extra information includes looking it up on the internet, a luxury the people in that video didn't have, so they used the information they were given and trust to make a decision. And even if you can figure it out, the average person wouldn't be able to, as it is greatly misleading. For anybody wanting to know, I'll narrow it down more. It's a fruit, it's yellow. Ok, it's a lemon, hopefully you'll see my point.

[BrianDgreat123]

Ye, nobody should assume that somebody is lying to them, but they sure as hell need to be skeptical of what people tell them, instead of blindly going with what people tell them. That's essentially what Penn was trying to show, that people just assume that people in the green movement know what the fuck they are talking about without doing any research.

[Yuber779]

Oh i saw that episode. They tricked a bunch of hippies into banning water. Lol that was soo bad and so funny xD

[insky60]

Haha all balloons are biodegradable.They're spending money and energy on a problem that doesn't even exist. How's that for being green?

[burnhippiesforfuel]

"a word most people know"

[Tacitala]

LOL at 6:15. "Lehman Brothers is predicting $150 a barrel oil by the end of the year..."

The price of oil reached a 5-year low today. As I type this, oil is $34.68 a barrel. Why does anyone still listen to these Wall Street idiots?

Also, Penn is awesome.

[kaiwaig]

Biodegradable balloons after rotting will release methane gas and contribute to 'global warming' - smart move democrats!

[rationalCrash]

Penn rules, but

glenn beck is just another MSM opinion pusher, I see no reason to have any respect for him as a reporter.

[est794]

oh yeah oil < $50

[est794]

beck's not afraid of questions that he doesn't have answers for. even when he already has different beliefs he at least asks.

[antony1985]

Penn is awesome! I watch Bullshit all the time!

[ok1jwc]

Democrats are idiots, but then again so are the NEOCONS. sheesh I am surrounded by assholes and dipshits.

[antony1985]

Glenn you are awesome! It's great to know that there's some integrity left in the media!

[billbot1982]

hear hear!

[Snootwaller]

And yet, he has a TV show and you just float around and post snarky comments on youtube videos. Where, oh where, did you go wrong?

[HammandClov]

ooooooooooohhhh, burn. LOL.

[4d4mz]

i bet bush is about 100 times smarter than u

[texanpilot23]

I love glenn beck.. im a libertarian who forms his own opinion and has no time for republicans or dems...

[believerintheword]

you guys should have heard the radio show on the "carbon onsetts" people were calling in and saying stuff like "I'll let my motorhome idle untill midnight tonight" and turning the air conditioning up and running the dish washer without anything in it. It was freakin hilarious!! Glenn Beck is great!

[PaintMaryconley]

it was hilarious.. some corky posted on the insider forum today from OK, with about 6 miles of running cars infront of his house..

[StoogeWatcher]

If the Democrat Convention was so green, why did the liberals bitch about not having enough limos?

[doe91]

Because they are a bunch of hypocritical clowns!

[USkicksass]

Glenn you are awesome!

[PaintMaryconley]

"NativeEnergy is proud to have been the exclusive carbon offset provider for the book and movie An Inconvenient Truth and for Mr. Gore's travel promoting them. Learn more here."

still digging

[PaintMaryconley]

although it doesn't look like gore is technically "on the board "for native energy.. according tto the companies about page he has "personally trained" at least 2 of the board members to give his global warming slide show .

[xlfutur1]

When Al Gore, John Edwards and Barack Obama sell their big homes and live in a commune, then we can really back the democrats on going totally green. Can't wait.

[fasfan]

huh... Al Gore owns the company that is selling the green credits? Hmm... Who saw that one coming?

[JMikeBlackey]

Glenn's right, the internet is very green, Jolly Green Giant Al Gore invented it.

Haha Penn Jillette looks like Satan lol

B.Y.O.F.F. lol

[Jerricho68]

Organic cotton fanny packs? Do they have biodegradable shoulder holsters?

Look rubes. All organic means is that it contains carbon. Anything that was once alive contains carbon. Even crude oil is organic.

[whitedane]

Well, today organic also means food with no taste and ugly cloths:)

[Jerricho68]

You should seek employment marketing organic products. You are good at hyping them up. The expensive tomatoes that are labeled organic are grown right next to the the evil baby killer global warming run for your lives the sky is falling tomatoes. If you like the organic label you just have to pay more for it.

[whitedane]

Didnt you know that buying organic will save the earth? All those terrible chemicals that havent hurt anyone yet, even got rid of Malaria...but will eventually do something to kill us,lol. Paying more for food that is smaller, browner, has flies on it...hmmm, makes sense to me:) I should definately make some comercials:)

[Bosco239]

Jerricho68, your a creationist...

LOL.

Now we see who the retard is.

[Jerricho68]

You are the retard. You believe in evolutionism? Do you believe in bigfoot and unicorns as well?

[Deke101]

evolutionism?

[Jerricho68]

That is the name of the religion that is being spread by fruitcake school teachers.

[Deke101]

Yes, I suppose it's just ONE more thing to add to the growing list of reasons to home school your children.

[Deke101]

Don't you know that carbon from the left is OK??? It's carbon from the RIGHT that is bad for the world!

[lezlitaz]

how abot the telecoms that are shoveling money to both conventions....they need to thank the congress (both parties) for voting that we as citizens cannot sue the telcoms for illegally spying us. nice huh....i love corporate sonsorship

[Bosco239]

Who is this fucking retard.

[Jerricho68]

Look above your comments. It says who the fucking retard is.

[Bosco239]

Jerrichofuckwit, You know what a rhetorical is?

[Jerricho68]

Of course retard. Glenn Beck is funny and very sharp.

[askitzo2]

944 views now thats BULLSH$T!!

[bethechangexx]

Biodegradable balloons. What a winner.

Thanks for posting.

[arubberball]

How do these Democrats get away with this crazy stuff --- sorry had to finish wrapping my head with industrial strength duck tape! Hey, how about trying substance over symbolism, hmm I just saying what could it hurt at this point!

[avantexec]

This is a hilarious video. Very funny, true stuff.

[Clausfarre]

Nice conversation. Thanks for sharing!

[jokertim777]

Mr. Jillette even slipped in the point there at the end about how badly our dollar has been devalued by the Socialist Federal Reserve System. Way to go, sir!

[JayUK84]

Thanks for uploading this.

[ReverandJim]

Symbolism? How about them red commie stars that are on the outside of the convention center? That pretty well represents the party.

[TimeWarp66]

Penn Jillette is boss
