Glenn Beck has been on a tireless campaign to expose the “Green Jobs’ Czar” on his radio and television program. On July 23, 2009, Glenn Beck aired a program titled, “Your Science Czar is a Commie.” In the program, Glenn Beck addressed Van Jones book, “The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution can Fix our two Biggest Problems.” Beck went on to describe Van Jones argument as the best methods for fighting urban poverty and global warming is through creating millions of green jobs. Beck then went on to warn his listeners that their country was being hijacked and that things such as ‘green jobs’ and ‘healthcare’ were only a front. Beck ended his July 23rd show by referring to Van Jones as another ‘Reverend Jeremiah Wright’ and a black nationalist. The idea, Glenn Beck purports, is that if an entire community is redesigned with ‘green energy’ and everyone is forced to go ‘green’ for the economy, then we have essentially become a socialized nation. However, Glenn Beck concludes that it is beyond socialism, but rather ‘black nationalism.’

By September 1, 2009, Glenn Beck took comments made by Van Jones at the 2009 Power Shift conference to present his view that Van Jones is essentially a ‘Hugo Chavez,’ who presents a new black nationalistic movement. Here is a quote from the 2009 Power Shift convention that Glenn Beck used on his September 1st program.

“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. We don't deal with how we are consuming water, we don't deal with how we're treating our other sister and other brothers' 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 biofuel 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.”

Glenn Beck described Van Jones speech as “code language Marxism.”
