"We talk about each other more than we talk to each other" Mr. Van Jones, the good in me sees and respects the good in you. An inspirational man. 🙏🏻

As someone who has been through the system, this is such great news. Rehabilitation, not incarceration (where applicable).

[marias]

Prisons should not be "for profit" organizations. PERIOD!!!

[ActosMagus]

Now, get rid of private prisons and the checkbox on employment applications.

On and off (1:46) Van's glasses cause little blue light reflections to appear in the middle of his eyebrows and it looks like he just had glitter accents on and I really enjoy that.

Isn't everybody bipartisan when everybody realizes WE ALL GOIN' TO JAIL!

[CKBrooke]

That was kinda sexy when Stephen whipped off his glasses

[redlord]

lets not forget that jarred cushner played a part in getting this bill through and it has nothing to do with the fact that his own dad is locked up.

[saracarr]

Wow. Some very wise and inspiring words. Great to hear positive news coming out of D.C.!

[robaerto]

Van Jones, you talk of Republican "values"?!? HILARIOUS!!!

[payableondeath]

A far-right conservative must have written the description for this video for Van Jones to be called a progressive

[ursaltydog]

Both parties don't like long sentences when they go to jail.. :)

Real sad to see how few people have watched/commented on this. Van jones is smart as hell and has a great feel for, and ability to explain, the nuances so essential to understanding todays sociopolitical climate...

Van Jones is an inspiration to all of us with speech impediments

[NewMessage]

And now Beck is a name that is most often greeted with "Who?.. Oh, yeah, yeah.. that guy."

Van Jones AND "Reminding Me That President Trump Has Not Cancelled All Of Obama's Initiatives, & Doing One Good Thing In Prison Reform"

[bebesomething]

You know damn well those people at CPAC left the room when Van was talking and if they didn't they were on their phones not listening. You think these people actually care? They don't!

Van Jones Nov 2016: How do I explain this to my children… (talking on CNN about how America just elected a racist bigot)

Van Jones Dec 2018: *smiling with Trump*

[msfair]

The truth Mr. Jones, is that those guys do suck.
You have only moved the goalposts.
