This is stunning. We have Ben Jones we tied him yesterday tied him together. -- Right directly to Obama and -- directly to the Apollo alliance. Here's Jeff Jones put this 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 that's correct what else has he done."
" Well Jeff has been involved not just in those terrorist activities with the weather under underground it was actually part of the Weather Bureau modeled on the Politburo which with the high leadership where he -- with that with Bill Ayers. But I Jones with on the on the run hiding from the law for about a decade before he was finally caught in a dramatic -- where they -- his four year old child -- arrested in 1981. He then became an adviser to environmental groups to labor organizations and to the New York State government where he's -- commission for Governor --"
" Okay helpful and is the second. -- here that's what he did. Labor groups. Think of SC IU and all the union's -- by the way does anybody did anybody notice that. The head that of the Fed here in New York is now the former head of the AFL CIO. -- that shouldn't be any problem here in New York -- option with finances new York and the unions not. That's crazy. OK so labor unions and environmental projects. And Jones green jobs -- And then what do you do."
" Well he's on he's on a panel that we don't know much about a commission the governor Paterson put them on called the energy and environment transition. Commission and I haven't been able to get new information about that time but one of the important things that that I really found notable is that -- he's in advisers from the called the workforce development in the institute here in New York which is advising state and local government and universities. On how to write their grants to get stimulus from from the stimulus bill that he and their friends and."
" Paolo wrote all the hold on -- is that okay 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 handout here in New York. That's right and he's also an adviser consultant for the national Apollo alliance with well okay good so that we have Jeff Jones and bill -- we have Rasheed -- leading. Who is. Who is. A radical in his own. Right tied directly to Barack Obama. The movement for democratic society what is that."
" That'd be reconstituted. Version of the old students for democratic society which with a parent organization of the Weather Underground these with a 1960s radicals who wanted to revolution to overthrow the country Communist state they're eight reconstituted now but here's the thing America."
" Communist movement a movement for a democratic society Communist movement. What year was -- founded."
" It would -- with just recently founded in 2000 effects."
" 2006. This is -- correct me if I'm wrong this is what I see. We have Carl Davidson -- for -- and they're all connected Carl Davidson is connected to the new party which is connected to the movement for democratic society. To progressives to -- Jones to Jeff -- it's all connected. These people down here. Are radicals there is no way they may have then they may have been adding business people -- everything to everybody else but they're basically radicals."
" they are they are Glen and actually the most frightening part about this. Is that these guys are not for the most part the public -- of everything they're trying to do they've got the mainstream guys Carl Pope the president of the Sierra Club. If on the board of the Apollo alliance they've got. They've got Leo Gerard from the international steel workers who are union on the board of the Apollo alliance -- the -- from the Center for American Progress all of the mainstream. Elements of the Obama -- and leave the liberal -- progressive movement are tied in with these."
" You tied in great here's here's what's happening in America. The radicals are all down here they start to filter drop and they come through the places like the Apollo alliance and they filter up. And -- scrubbed clean so they don't look like radicals anymore. But there all -- here the question you have to ask. Obama never said that he was. He he he claimed that he was a Marxist he listened a Marxist professors he was a radical -- but he was very young. He in his own book he talks about seeking -- those Marxist professors. When was his change. When did he ever stand up and say I -- Marxist -- you'll laugh about it. I reject Marxist principles I rejected these people. Marxist I rejected them. He hasn't. Should we ask him for that. Is it important to know. When we come back I'm gonna show you. The anti capitalist forget about marxism. Forget about radicals. Probably just anti capitalists. Inviting our president. Will introduce you do them next."
