in fact, he worked in the nixon white house reporting to david patrick moynihan, clerked for supreme one point he even worked for "the washington post." so for him to say that he's a d.c. outsider, that's stretchin' it. >> so we will no doubt be talking about how for the president, blumenthal rrp tomorrow on the sh show. we showed you that the imam was speaking here in new york city. now it's come to life possibly some of his close associates may have radical ties. speaking about the man on the screen, his name is fiyas khan. he sent in this videotape about his believes about what really caused 9/11. >> i've been involved in the 9/11 truth movement since september 12th, 2001. we're all saying this mainstream explanation is completely false and it's compelling evidence to suggest not only false but some form of inside job. we can all agree with that. >> that was one of his key guys saying it was an inside job. imam saying don't blame all of islam with what al-queda's doing because they're extremists. his goal is to be the voice of moderation with extremists on both sides. i understand
