GLENN BECK, HOST: Phil Kerpen is here. He is the director of policy
at Americans for Prosperity.
Phil, how are you? Good to see you.
PHIL KERPEN, AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY: Hey, Glenn.
BECK: I wanted to bring you here because I want to show you what's on
the other side of the board and I need you to help draw this
together, because I think this is stunning.
We have Van Jones. We tied him yesterday tied him together with
right directly to Obama and right directly to the Apollo Alliance.
Here's Jeff Jones. Put the picture of Jeff Jones up again, please.
Jeff Jones is an interesting character. Jeff Jones is the founder of
the Weather Underground, right?
KERPEN: That's correct.
BECK: What else has he done?
KERPEN: Well, Jeff has been involved not just in those terrorist
activities with the Weather Underground. He was actually part of the
Weather-buro modeled on the politburo which was the high leadership
where he was with Bill Ayers.
But Jones was on the run, hiding from the law for about a decade
before he was finally caught in a dramatic raid where his 4-year-old
saw him arrested in 1981.
He then became an adviser to environmental groups, to labor
organizations and to the New York state government where he sits on a
commission for Governor Paterson.
BECK: OK, hold on this just a second.
You hear this, what he did? Labor groups, think SEIU and all the
unions, oh, and by the way, does anybody did anyone notice that the
head of the Fed here in New York is now the former head of the
AFL-CIO? Hmm, that shouldn't be any problem. Here in New York,
corruption with finances, New York and the unions? No, that's crazy.
OK, so, labor unions and environmental projects. Van Jones, green
jobs "czar." OK?
Then, what did he do?
KERPEN: Well, he's on a panel that we don't know much about, a
commission that Governor Paterson put him on, called the Energy and
Environment Transition Commission. I haven't been able to get any
information about that.
But one of the important things that I really found notable is that
he's an adviser to something called the Workforce Development
Institute here in New York, which is advising state and local
governments and universities on how to write their grants to get
stimulus funds from the stimulus bill that he and his friends at Apollo wrote.
BECK: OK, hold on just a second.
OK. So, the co-founder of the Weather Underground is working for the
governor of New York. Wow. And he's writing how to get money from the
stimulus bill, written by the Apollo Alliance, which he is the head
of here in New York.
KERPEN: That's right. And he's also an adviser, a consultant for the
national Apollo Alliance as well.
BECK: OK. Good. So then we have Jeff Jones and Bill Ayers. We have
Rashid Khalidi, who is who is a radical in his own right tied
directly to Barack Obama.
The Movement for a Democratic Society, what is that?
KERPEN: That is a reconstituted version of the old Students for a
Democratic Society, which was the parent organization of the Weather
Underground. These were the 1960s radicals who wanted a revolution to
overthrow the country.
BECK: Communists.
KERPEN: They reconstituted it now.
BECK: But here's the thing, America: Communist movement, a Movement
for a Democratic Society, communist movement.
What year was it founded?
KERPEN: It was just recently founded in 2006.
BECK: 2006?
This is and correct me if I'm wrong this is what I see. We have
Carl Davidson, progressive for they're all connected. Carl Davidson
is connected to the New Party, which is connected to the Movement for
Democratic Society, to progressives, to Van Jones, to Jeff Jones
it's all connected. These people down here are radicals. There is no
way they may have been they may have been adding businesspeople
and everybody else, but they're basically radicals.
KERPEN: They are they are, Glenn. And actually, the most
frightening part about this is that these guys are not for the most
part the public face in everything they are trying to do.
They've got the mainstream guys. Carl Pope, the president of the
Sierra Club is on the board of the Apollo Alliance. They've got
they've got Leo Gerard from the International Steelworkers Union on
the board of the Apollo Alliance. John Podesta, from the American for
Center Progress all of the mainstream elements of the Obama
administration and the liberal and progressive movement are tied in
with these people.
BECK: Tied in great.
Here's what's happening, America. The radicals are all down here.
They start to filter up and they come to places like the Apollo
Alliance and they filter up, and they're scrubbed clean, so they
don't look like radicals anymore but they're all tied here.
The question you have to ask: Obama never said that he was he
claimed that he was a Marxist, he listens to Marxist professors, he
was a radical, blah, blah, blah, but he was very young. In his own
book, he talks about seeking out those Marxist professors.
When was his change? When did he ever stand up and say: "I reject
Marxist" he'll laugh about it "I reject Marxist principles, I
reject these people Marxists I reject them"?
He hasn't. Should we ask him for that?
