DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST: So now let's talk about Current TV. It's 
a network I never could find it. (Laughter) What were your hopes 
for Current TV when you launched your own network?

AL GORE: Well, to have an independent voice for news and 
information, and my partner Joel Hyatt and I accomplished a lot. 
I'm very proud of what we did. We won every single award in 
television journalism, but it turns out to be very tough for an 
independent network to compete in an age of conglomerates. And 
so it was time to make a move. I'm very proud that al Jazeera is 
going to have the opportunity to give high quality news 
throughout the country. They've won awards all over the world, 
very highly-respected.

LETTERMAN: Now why do we think of al Jazeera as something not 
right going on there in terms of, in terms of the good for 
Americans? Why do we think that they may be propaganda for 
Muslim violence and terrorism?

GORE: Well, it's certainly not. And many years ago it put some 
videos on in the Arabic version that I think were 
misinterpreted, but the al Jazeera English and now al Jazeera 
America really high quality stuff. They're very widely 
respected, and people see for themselves. And, by the way, their 
climate coverage is higher quality and more extensive than any 
network on TV now in the U.S.

LETTERMAN: Who, al Jazeera, what does that mean, al Jazeera?

GORE: I'm not sure. I ought to know, but I don't know. 
(Laughter) Wait a minute I can Google it. Just like Dr. Oz. 
(Laughter)

LETTERMAN: I was told earlier I think it means "the island." I'm 
not sure what that reference is. But what country is the origin 
of al Jazeera?

GORE: Qatar.

LETTERMAN: And that's �

GORE: Gas and oil.

LETTERMAN: Gas and oil. So you're selling this television 
network to a gas and oil supported emirate. It�s not an emirate, 
it�s an independent country.

GORE: One of the emirates. It's independent. And the closest 
ally of the U.S. In the Arab world. Our fleet is there.

LETTERMAN: Isn't that one of the problems with global warming, 
our dependence on petroleum-producing countries?

GORE: Yes, it is. And they have�

LETTERMAN: So you, Al Gore, are doing business with this country 
that's enabling your ultimate foe of climate change.

GORE: I think I understand what you're getting at, Dave, 
(Laughter) but I disagree with it. First of all, they have 
ambitious plans to develop renewables in the region. There's a 
visionary plan to take solar energy and wind energy from the 
Middle East and North Africa to Western Europe. Again, the 
network that they founded has become a very widely respected 
news-gathering organization, including on climate issues.

LETTERMAN: Yeah, see if you can get Regis a show.

GORE: I�ll suggest that.

No.  Shoot the liberals immediately so they can't stab you in
