GLENN BECK, HOST: Hello, America. Welcome to THE GLENN BECK PROGRAM.
Tonight, I want to take another look at the green jobs czar Van Jones. I have disturbing -- disturbing -- evidence that this guy is not who he says he is. And, boy, that leaves you to all kinds of questions.
I want to see -- before you see this, I want you to ask yourself these three questions. One, do you believe that someone can believe that wealth should be taken from one group and given to another based on race? That's yes or no.
Should anyone who believes that work with the president of the United States? Yes or no.
And how many times do we need to see these people that are counseling and then surrounding the president, saying these kinds of things before we say, Wait a minute, what does that say about our president ?
Plus, coming up in just a little while, I'm going to show you a new propaganda system that will boggle your mind that you will not see anywhere else. Stand up, America! Come on. Follow me.
(MUSIC)
BECK: I tell you, I am -- hello, America. How are you? I have to tell you, I am increasingly concerned about our country because we have started to peel this onion -- and it's layer after layer. And the deeper we get into this onion, the worse it looks.
But I am encouraged because -- I mean, the ratings are outstanding. What was it? One in every 100 people last week -- one out of every 100 Americans were watching this program.
Now, what are we going to do with the information? Can you spread this information any more? It has to go beyond the people who watch the show. It has to go beyond conservatives or tea partygoers. It must go to your friends and your neighbors. It must go to the decent people on all sides of the aisle that are not communists and not crazies.
Tonight, I think this hour is one of the -- some of the most shocking stuff that we have shown you. It will take the breath away from you on a couple of -- on a couple of occasions, I believe.
Tonight, we're going to take another look at our green jobs czar, special advisor as the president likes to call him. His name is Van Jones. You can call him whatever you want, but I want you to take an honest look, a good hard look at who Van Jones is, in his own words.
For the last couple of months, we have told you that he is an avowed radical communist, a revolutionary.
Well, in the last few days, the left has been trying to scrub this man's image clean to the point where now they are claiming that he has totally transformed into a raging capitalist. These were just -- when he was a communist, it was just youthful indiscretions. All of a sudden, he's a combination of Bill Gates and J. Paul Getty. He's mainstream now. Look no further. He is the perfect young, go-getting entrepreneur to kick off job creation into high gear.
If that's true? Great. Great. I'm all for new kinds of jobs. America must reinvent herself.
But if that's not true, what is? All he wants to do is create green jobs, right? Wrong. I hate to intrude with the facts here, but let's listen to Van Jones in newly discovered audio and video in his own words.
Now, granted we did have to go back into a time machine, way, way back. I mean, I don't even know how old President Barack Obama was when this event happened. It was clear back way before April -- in March of this year. Yes, we had to go all the way back to past March, to the Power Shift '09 Conference. This was just weeks before he was appointed as our president's special advisor.
He has many things to say. We will start here.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VAN JONES, SELF-AVOWED COMMUNIST: This movement is deeper than a solar panel! Deeper than a solar panel! Don't stop there! Don't stop there! We're going to change the whole system! We're going to change the whole thing. We're not going to put a new battery in a broken system. We want a new system. We want a new system!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: OK. You can hear that out of context and say, OK, well, what is he talking about? Oh, that Glenn Beck is saying that he wants a new system, he's going to change the whole government. OK. He said clearly,
We want a new system. We want a new system.
Well, a new system of what? Is he talking about more than just solar panels? He is the green jobs advisor.
Let's listen again, but this time, let me open it up a bit. Listen to the entire context of this statement. He is saying that we cannot be only about new forms of energy.
Listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JONES: All we do is take out the dirty power system, the dirty power generation in a system and just replace it with some clean stuff, put a solar panel on top of this system. But we don't deal with how we are consuming water. We don't deal with how we are treating our other sister and brother species. We don't deal with toxins. We don't deal with the way we treat each other.
If that's not a part of this movement, let me tell you what you'll have. This is all you'll have. You'll have solar-powered bulldozers. Solar powered buzz saws, and bio-fueled bombers and we'll be fighting wars over lithium for the batteries instead of oil for the engines and we'll still have a dead planet.
This movement is deeper than a solar panel, deeper than a solar panel. Don't stop there. Don't stop there. No, we're going to change the whole system. We're going to change the whole thing.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: OK. Did you notice that he said, if we don't work on how we treat each other? This is social justice -- social justice, making up for the problems of the past. That's what that is, social justice. There were mistakes made in the past. Let's fix those. Let's balance things out.
America, it's time we stop accepting the claim that this man is an average, everyday capitalist America. Those of you in Washington --I know the White House watches this show every night. Boy, I can't even imagine how thick the file is on me? I know there are people in the Capitol that watch this program.
When will you wake up? I know there are good, decent people --left and right, Democrats and Republicans -- that watch this program. How much more evidence do you need that we have radicals in the White House? Oh, we haven't even begun, if you think you need more, we need to -- at least in this country -- start having the necessary discussion of: Do we want communists in the United States government as special advisors to the president?
To be honest with you, and maybe it's just me, I don't even want communists having lunch with our president. When Putin was having an hour with President Obama, I know he had to do it, but I wasn't comfortable with it.
Barack Obama did not campaign on openly changing the whole system. This is -- this is weird. I'm not saying this is what President Obama did, but, boy, I am -- based on the fact that he will not reject this man and others like him in this administration, I'm beginning to wonder.
Didn't Venezuela -- didn't Chavez, didn't he -- wasn't he democratically elected? I don't believe he campaigned as a communist, but, boy, things sure changed once he got into office. President Obama did leave telltale signs. He did, five days before the election, tell us this much.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
THEN-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
(CHEERS)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: OK. Very few Americans paid attention back then. Are you paying attention now?
I'm sorry. You know, my apologies to this audience, because you get it. You've been watching. You've been listening. You're probably saying,
Yes, I know, so what do we do? We need to wake our neighbors up.
The Democrats, the game players, and wake 'em up and say, You don't hate the country, you don't hate the Constitution. You're not trying to destroy America.
Listen to these words: If our founding principles are no longer relevant, if the system in which this country was founded is somehow unjust or unworkable now and communism, Marxism, socialism, statism -- whatever it is we are leaded towards is right and the relevant path, then that is the discussion that you have in America! But to subversively bring in a whole new system through the back door in the middle of the night, that is unacceptable.
But this goes further than whether Van Jones is a capitalist or a communist. I want you to see if you recognize any patterns here. Listen to what Van Jones has said at this same conference back in March.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JONES: Native Americans sisters and brothers who were pushed and bullied and mistreated and shoved into all the land we didn't want, where it was all hot and windy -- well, guess what, renewable energy. Guess what, solar industry. Guess what, wind industry. They now own and control 80 percent of the renewable energy renewable resources.
No more broken treaties. No more broken treaties. Give them the wealth! Give them the wealth! Give them the dignity. Give them the respect that they deserve. No justice on stolen land. We owe them a debt.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: Let me back up here. Can you believe wealth should be taken from one group and given to another based on race? And should anyone that believes that work with the president of the United States? Give them the wealth. Give them the wealth. Is that what you voted for? Does it sound familiar at all? Have we heard that before?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JEREMIAH WRIGHT, PASTOR: We believe God sanctioned the rape and robbery of an entire continent and we believe God ordained African slavery. We believe God makes Europeans superior to Africans and superior to everybody else, too.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: I don't believe that.
It may also bring to mind the man who gave the prayer at President Obama's inauguration ceremony, a man whom the president just bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Reverend Joseph Lowery.
Listen to what he says here.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
REV. JOSEPH LOWERY, DELIVERED INAUGURAL BENEDICTION: Joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, and when the red band can get ahead, man, and white will embrace what is right.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: When white will embrace what is right.
This was discussed at the time and nobody said anything. And you heard the crowd, they all laughed and everybody thought -- oh, this old man, you know, that's just a flashback from the 1960s and the movement back in the '60s, and that's, you know, it was the way people spoke back then. It was also Jeremiah Wright became the crazy uncle of Barack Obama and he said crazy things and we all have crazy uncles.
What is the excuse on Van Jones? Let's try it again. Here is more from Van Jones -- again, to be fair, this is from his ancient history catalog titled this last March.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JONES: What about our immigrant sisters and brothers? What about our immigrant sisters and brothers? What about people who come here from all around the world, who we're willing to have out in the fields with poison being sprayed on them, poison being sprayed on them because we have the wrong agricultural system, and then we're -- and we're willing to poison them and poison the Earth to put food on our table, but we don't want to give them rights and we don't want to give them dignity and we don't want to give them respect?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: We don't want to give them rights. No, come through the front door. I want you here. If you're willing to do those jobs that, quite honestly, lazy Americans just think they're above, I want you here. You renew us.
But let's -- let's go back here. We're now intentionally poisoning immigrants. We're now intentionally poisoning. Well, who is we ? This is from an interview he did as the head of the Ella Baker Center.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JONES: We're really entering a third wave of environmentalism in the United States, the white polluters and the white environmentalists are essentially steering poison into the people of color communities.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BECK: OK. What did we tell you last night? That he found a better way to bring his message, a more mainstream way. George Soros and his blogging minions now are saying that Van Jones just had a few youthful indiscretions.
When? How old was he in March? How is he now a fully converted capitalist? I didn't hear it there.
He's qualified to make decisions at the highest levels of our government or he's at least involved in them. Did you take him at his word? Should we take him at his word when he said and I quote, I am willing to forego the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of the radical ends ?
America, when will we listen? Look -- the president has tried to pass himself off as a guy who just sat in Jeremiah Wright's, you know, black liberation theology church for 20 years, for 20 years. Is it -- is anyone -- do they really believe when he first said, I didn't hear those things, did you believe them? Then he said, Well, I heard them but I didn't really notice them. Did you believe that one?
Then it was just Jeremiah Wright is a crazy old uncle. OK, so, great. That's Jeremiah Wright.
What is it this time? What is the excuse now for appointing the same kind of radical to an influential position in our government? Are white people poisoning people of color? Yes or no, Mr. President? Yes or no?
Let me give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think this makes it any better. Did you vet this man? Did you -- did you miss something? How did you miss this? It's called Google.
How did -- did the FBI not do its job? I mean, we found all of this stuff. Hey, ABC, NBC -- well, I know where NBC is -- CBS, where the hell are you? CNN, where are you?
Do you think the FBI or the president of the United States didn't know that this man, just weeks before he started working in the White House, said these things? That we have the -- what was it, the wrong agricultural system? When did he become an expert on agriculture?
The White House issued a statement last week, when we asked them if they were aware of Van Jones' communist -- self-avowed communist activities. Their response was: the green jobs special advisor is just very narrowly focused on creating green jobs. That's it!
As if that answers the question of why is this guy in our government anywhere near the president? It doesn't answer it. It doesn't! And they want you to stop asking this question. When will America take off the rose-colored glasses and start seeing the world around them? Start seeing things for what they really are?
Look -- you know, I -- I'd really like to share with you a personal story from today, but I can't, because it puts my family in danger. Do you think I want to get on the air every night and tell you this stuff? Do you know who -- do you know who I am?
The media will say, Oh, he's just a clown. Well, you know what? I am clown. I am a guy who just -- I just want to have laughs and fun. I'm a capitalist. I want to make money. I want to do all that stuff.
I want to live my life with my family. I don't want to have to live with security and walls and gates and everything else. Do you think I want to live that way? You know, maybe there are some people like that. That ain't me. That is not me.
I don't want to believe these things. But, unfortunately, I find them true. These statements by Van Jones are from the spring. No one will bring you this information. Why? Why? Two reasons I can come up with: either they are afraid, because it is a scary place to be or because they don't think that it matters in America anymore.
I know I'm not the only American left who thinks this is important! It is important. Share it with your neighbors. I'm going to put this monologue, these clips up on the Web site.

Let me leave you one more time with the words of Van Jones.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JONES: Deeper than a solar panel! Deeper than a solar panel! Don't stop there! Don't stop there! No, we're going to change the whole system! We're going to change the whole thing. We're not going to put a new battery in a broken system. We want a new system. We want a new system!
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANNOUNCER: The most dangerous czars in their own words -- next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BECK: America, thank you so much for watching. Please, tell a friend, and don't go anywhere. At the bottom of the hour, we're going to show you some things that, honestly, when I saw it today, I said, I don't think I -- I'm not in the same country. I don't even recognize this country at times from the direction we're headed.
President Obama now has nearly three dozen czars. On the campaign trail, Obama told us to look at who is surrounding him to find out what his views on issues are. So, that's what we're doing. What are the views of those surrounding the president and advising the president, his czars, if you will?
Here they are, are in their own words.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SUBTITLE: In 2005, Van Jones told the East Bay Express.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm willing to forego the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.
SUBTITLE: In the Hip-Hop Studies Reader, That's the Joint. Van Jones said.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We need to be about the (BLEEP). Somebody's (BLEEP) up somewhere. They have names and jobs descriptions. You have to be creative about how you engage the enemy, because if you do it on his terms, the outcome is already known.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Because every old person was once young, an emphasis on life-years does not discriminate against anyone; the very people how lose when older also gained when younger. In producing regulatory impact analysis, agencies should inquire into life-years, and take account of that inquiry in deciding what to do.
SUBTITLE: John Holdren, White House science adviser.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men. Indeed, it has been concluded the fact compulsory population control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
SUBTITLE: In Prologue to a Farce, a book he authored.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pressure, pressure, pressure. We needed to apply pressure and to direct that pressure not at that government but through the government and our true opposition -- the broadcasters.
My focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is also often an exaggeration. Blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
BECK: Now, there needs to be a propaganda arm. Partisan propaganda like I have never seen in America, and this time you get to pay for it -- next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
PATTI ANN BROWNE, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. I'm Patti Ann Browne.
Firefighters are trying to slow the spread of massive wildfires still burning out of control in southern California. More than 164 square miles are already up in smoke, 21 homes have burned and thousands more are in danger.
Heavy winds, waves and rain are battering residents and tourists along the Mexico's Baja California Peninsula as Hurricane Jimena draws closer. The center of the category four storm is on course to pass west of Los Cabos late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
And worries about the economy have pushed stocks to their biggest losses in two weeks. The market's six-month rally took a hit today as investors worry that more banks will fail.
Glenn Beck returns in a moment, but first, Bret Baier previews what's s on SPECIAL REPORT tonight.
Hey, Bret.
BRET BAIER, SPECIAL REPORT HOST: Hey, Patti Ann.
Coming up: What is next in Afghanistan? We have new details from the top commander's review. And is a GOP comeback starting with two big governors' races? All that and much more - join me in 28 minutes for
SPECIAL REPORT.
Now, back to Glenn.
BECK: I may be a self-educated man, but I am a man who has spent a lot of time trying to do my homework, figure out what was going on. I made a promise to myself on September 11th, because I didn't think I was qualified to be able to speak to a nation, or even speak to my neighbors about things that I didn't understand, so I put myself through school.In the last year and a half or so, quite frankly, because my daughter disagreed with me on American history, I put myself through American history classes. And I studied the early 20th century progressive movement. It is there that I learned that beautiful things can be extraordinarily dangerous.
It is there that I learned that Goebbels in Germany says they lost World War I because of propaganda from the west. They studied American propaganda coming from the progressives in the Woodrow Wilson administration. I learned that we had 150,000 political prisoners in this nation because people spoke out against the administration and the war.
I'm going to show you the beginning of something that should scare the living daylights out of you. It is propaganda in America. The National Endowment of the Arts is now holding conference calls. I want to lay this out for you, and then I want to bring a guest in.
One of the guys who was on the conference call felt awkward about this whole thing. He is an artist and he felt awkward and decided he was going to tape the conference calls. The only reason why we can bring this story to you with any credibility is because he did the brave thing, probably destroyed his career, or at least he will never get a dime from the National Endowment of the Arts and probably won't speak to another artist again or they won't speak to him because he has betrayed the movement.
Here is the first E-mail that came in from the National Endowment of the Arts. It said, This Monday, there is a conference call for arts- oriented marketers and producers to discuss the president of the United States' We Serve initiative that I thought you might like to participate in. A call has come in to our generation, a call from the top, a call from a house that is white and a call that we must answer. Please join these people, blah blah blah as we heed the president's call to action this summer. United we serve.
Then there was a reminder E-mail that went out. It said, With the knowledge that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things when given the proper tools, President Obama is asking us to come together and help lay a new foundation for growth, focusing on core areas of the recovery agenda - healthcare, energy and environment, safety and security, education and community renewal.
Quote five, It is time for us as a group of artists, producers, promoters, organizers, influencers, marketers, tastemakers, leaders or just plain cool people to join together and work together to promote a more civilly-engaged America and celebrate how the arts can be used for a positive change. No one knows our communities better than we do. No one can inspire as much as we can.
We have a unique role to play in making service accessible and fun to those who are not accustomed to volunteering. We know that engaging all Americans in service means we must expand the idea of service.
Go to quote two on E-mail two, Already you are helping us to reframe the image of volunteerism. In quote three, The United We Serve team, in collaboration with the White House Office of Public Engagement, and the National Endowment for the Arts is hosting a conference call.
Well, let me give you, before I give you all of the audio and introduce you to the guy who was brave enough to not only tape it and then bring it here. There he is. Before I bring him on, let me give you a taste of what was said in this conversation. Listen carefully what was said by Yosi Sergant from the National Endowment of the Arts, your money. Please play - this is a brand-new conversation.
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
YOSI SERGANT: ... brand-new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government, what that looks like legally. We're still trying to figure out the laws of putting government Web sites on Facebook and the use of Twitter.
This is all being sorted out. We are participating in history as it's being made. So bear with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely and we can really work together move the needle and to get stuff done.
(END AUDIO CLIP)
BECK: Your tax dollars have funded artwork that you may or may have not seen yet. This has just happened, but already artwork is out. And they are learning the language so they can speak to each other safely. I'm going to introduce you next to the man who received these E-mails and more of the conference call and coincidentally, some artwork that happened within two weeks of this phone conversation. Next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BECK: Of course, it is going to be plausible deniability, kind of, on this one because they're learning to speak the correct language to be able to talk to each other safely. That is a quote from the conversation that we're going to replay for you here in a second. There is a propaganda arm now, engaging artists and the art community using your tax dollars in propaganda.
Pat Courrielche - he is a contributor on Breitbart's Big Hollywood blog, a filmmaker and an art community consultant.
Pat, with when you received these E-mails, did any alarm bells go off in your head?
PAT COURRIELCHE, BIG HOLLYWOOD CONTRIBUTOR: Yes. I mean, you have to take into account the time that this was sent. I mean, this was at the very beginning of August, and the town halls had gone nuclear. In the E- mail, it states to speak to specific topics and I just - that was really surprising to me.
BECK: OK. Because it was -
COURRIELCHE: I was very surprised to see -
BECK: Because it mentioned the White House was teaming up with the NEA and art communities, right? Is that what -
COURRIELCHE: Yes, exactly.
