One of our organizers, Sue Polidura of the Seacoast Freedom Network, attended the speech. She later called Glenn Beck&#8217;s radio show on February 24th to tell him the story of how a NH tea partier sat in the front row and held up a copy of Beck&#8217;s book &#8220;Arguing With Idiots&#8221; where Jones could see it, and eventually had Jones sign it.<\/p>\n<p>Hear Sue tell Beck her story&#8230;<br \/>\n<center><script language=\"JavaScript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nhtaxpayerradio.com\/media\/audio-player.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http:\/\/www.nhtaxpayerradio.com\/media\/player.swf\" id=\"audioplayer1\" height=\"24\" width=\"290\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.nhtaxpayerradio.com\/media\/player.swf\"><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"playerID=1&amp;bg=0xeeeeee&amp;leftbg=0xeeeeee&amp;lefticon=0xcc0000&amp;rightbg=0xeeeeee&amp;rightbghover=0xcccccc&amp;righticon=0x333333&amp;righticonhover=0xcc0000&amp;text=0x000033&amp;slider=0x999999&amp;track=0xFFFFFF&amp;border=0x666666&amp;loader=0x666666&amp;loop=no&amp;autostart=no&amp;soundFile=http:\/\/www.nhteapartycoalition.org\/media\/suep_beck.mp3\"><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\"><param name=\"menu\" value=\"false\"><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Later, Joe sent us these photos&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nhteapartycoalition.org\/images\/idiots_jones.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"462\" height=\"347\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nhteapartycoalition.org\/images\/idiots_jones2.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"462\" height=\"347\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This morning, Joe called Beck&#8217;s radio show and Beck convinced him to sell the book and made plans to auction it off online to benefit a conservative cause that he will be promoting in the future. He noted however, that Jones related a very different story to Suzanne Malveaux of CNN, where Jones seemed to be claiming that he had made a &#8216;convert&#8217; out of the man with the book. Here is the relevant transcript of the first part of the video that is below&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VAN JONES, FORMER WHITE HOUSE ADVISER:<\/strong> I gave a speech at ah, Exeter, and some of the tea party people came to my speech.<br \/>\n<strong>SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT:<\/strong> You&#8217;re kidding.<br \/>\n<strong>JONES:<\/strong> Yuh.

I started talking about American jobs and the future and how we can be one country, and the guy&#8217;s book starts getting lower and lower and lower, and at the end of the speech, he came up and asked me to sign Glenn Beck&#8217;s book.<br \/>\n<strong>MALVEAUX:<\/strong> You are kidding.<br \/>\n<strong>JONES:<\/strong> I swear to God.
