In the edited clip Ingraham aired, Gore appeared to acknowledge that he would financially benefit from climate legislation. However, the full exchange told a much different story. Here it is with the portions of the segment Ingraham broadcasted in italics, with Gore’s responses, left off the air, in boldface:

BLACKBURN: So you’re a partner in Kleiner Perkins. Okay. Now, they have invested about a billion dollars in forty companies that are going to benefit from cap-and-trade legislation. So is the legislation that we are discussing here today, is that something that you are going to personally benefit from?

GORE: I believe that the transition to a green economy is good for our economy and good for all of us, and I have invested in it. But every penny that I have made, I have put right into a nonprofit, the Alliance for Climate Protection, to spread awareness of why we have to take on this challenge.

And Congresswoman, if you’re—if you believe that the reason I have been working on this issue for thirty years is because of greed, you don’t know me.

BLACKBURN: Sir, I’m not making accusations, I’m asking questions that have been asked of me and individuals—constituents that were seeking a point of clarity, so I am asking you for that point of—point of clarity.

GORE: I understand exactly what you’re doing, Congresswoman. Everybody here does.

BLACKBURN: And, well—you know, are you willing to divest yourself of any profit? Does all of it go to a not-for-profit that is an educational not-for-profit—

GORE: Every penny that I have made—

BLACKBURN: Every penny—

GORE:—has gone to it. Every penny from the movie, from the book, from any investments in renewable energy. I’ve been willing to put my money where my mouth is. Do you think there’s something wrong with being active in business in this country?

BLACKBURN: I am simply asking for clarification—

GORE: I’m proud of it.

BLACKBURN: —of the relationship.

GORE: I’m proud of it.50
