Great thinking! Wish others would follow suit. I voted for O once, but was wise enough to vote for Trump for all the right reasons. He's doing well and I love my country. Van is doing what's right and it proves that we make up this country, not one man sitting behind the desk. If he's honestly trying to help us, why not step up and help him make this country, world, and our lives a better place? Amen!
there are issues you can your REEEEE about but when it comes to things like prison reform where there are many people that did nothing worn being IN PRISON.
Where did get you? Absolutely nowhere. He left us with no infrastructure, jobs, healthcare, weak economy, no security at the border's, weakened our military, no moral laws, and made a mockery of our immigration laws, did nothing for our African American communities and a high unemployment rate. The president has achieved more than any u.s. president, in decades. Statistics don't lie, it's a crying shame to have that kind of legacy. Though I respect your opinion, but can't really see what Mr.Obama did for people of this country.
If Obama trying to do these then it will be more black will be shot on the street by a cop you know how it is. Obama is the one who spoke about in anproportipnally the blacks and Hispanics are in prison . The Fox News went nuts now trump is trying to do that they are cool with to me it don’t matter who did it as long as it’s done for the right reason and it’s does from compassion and integrity not for the political reason.
That's your right to vote whoever you choose. Immigration is our worst nightmare at the moment. Though president Trump has done way more then Mr. Obama. Though I respect others point of view, and thier feelings that concern them. Prison reform is a great issue besides national security and those who are falsely imprisoned.
@LetsGoPG Regardless who drew up the blueprints. It was up to Trump to continue the process. He could have just sat on this issue doing nothing. If he believes that a systemic injustice is happening and builds off of his predecessor, why is it bad. Trump never did anything to harm blacks. Prior to running as a Republican he was praised in the black community, and aided the black community. What changed the perspective of the masses? Being sold on false narrative against him is what grew his umpopularity. House Republicans didn't want because of his liberal views on matters. And with bipartisan support more will get accomplished it the next 2 years than has been in the past 16.
@LetsGoPG are you suggesting that Trump shouldn't sign the bill and allow those that are eligible for early release stay and rot in prison ? Accept the truth, Obama was a talker and Trump is a doer. So many Trump haters can't even articulate in an intelligent way exactly why they hate Trump, calm factual conversation is respected, loud, abusive, name calling is for those who can't make their point and only have the propaganda that they hear on CNN and MSNBC to defend their hate Trump rant.
Sassy CountryGirl out of curiosity, on what types of things do you not agree with van? not a huge fan myself, but probably for very different reasons than you.
Vancouver Island Waterjet i believe that about the far left and yes that is the ultimate goal of the far left. But moderates usually get shut out by the far left and right and that makes it hard to get anything done. The kind of progressives who want open borders and socialism ether don t have the understanding of what socialism as done to countries like Venezuela or just don t care. Trump is trying to put us on a path for both liberals and conservatives to move forward together. But the far left is trying to make it hard for him to do anything.
elijah mikle sorry but i am a moderate not a left or right i am middle Is this a PR stunt by van jones maybe it is maybe its not. Yes i call out the far left on their garbage and the far right on theirs as well. Lets start getting things done that will benefit the american people.
Carpenters Apprentice after a long days work and after reading my stupid "jabs" I'd like to apologize for trying to insult you, or. Make it personal .. I truly am.. I just don't like the fact that this "administration" uses every minority to seem like they genuinely care about minorities.. That's my opinion.. Again.. I'd apologize for my ignorant comments.. Im never like this, but this all has me on attack mode lol.. Plus, i love the ganja and.. I think we're both Hispanic Texans.. I'm all for the center, but I know for a fact these people aren't here for everyone.. Only for their people.. If you catch my drift..
It's all good I know sometimes things get hot so I don't sweat it. you're right that it feels like sometimes they're only helping their team but on this one issue it looks like them pursuing their interest kind of intersects with The interest of the little guy. Not everything the trump administration does is good but not everything is bad. I appreciate you being cool & actually sharing your point of view with me brother. Take care!
This is what you call being an adult. Finding common ground and getting stuff done! You don't have to agree on all the issues but work on something you do agree on. Grow up folks.
I am not surprised by how smart Trump is, many business men are smart and some are just lucky. When Trump entered the race, I laughed at it as a publicity stunt and was sure he would soon drop out or be forced out by the numerous life long politicians that know how the game of politics works. Then I watched in awe as he mowed them down one by one with a budget much smaller than many of his rivals. Then I watched in awe as he chipped away at Hillary who outspent him (I think 3 -1). I was never happy about the prospect but I was absolutely sure that Hillary had it in the bag in 2016. I had a gut feeling that Trump might get more votes than anyone expected and might even win but wouldn't accept that until it was official. I remember thinking on election night, even when it looked like he might win, some miracle scenario never before seen would somehow turn the vote to Hillary and then I was never more happy to be wrong when he won. For days after I think I even had PTSD or Trump delusion disease and couldn't wrap my head around the words President Trump. Even though I live in a solid blue state, i voted for Trump in 2016 and will again in 2020 MAGA ALL THE WAY. I would love to see a Mike Pompeo or Trey Gowdy in 2024
Key words he said " we got. NOTHING under 8 years of Obama." But Obama is still the greatest in his eyesNot a fan of the racist Van Jones but he knows the truth. This President is the real deal.
Milton Friedman once said, "It's not always about getting the right people in office, often it's about getting the wrong people to do the right thing."
Any reasonable person ...who would examine Trumps policies fairly ..would support him !!He is like a conservative liberal or a liberal conservative ! A lot like JFK !! He is the greatest !!
He's already on the other side, he won't tell it openly just because of the criticism he will receive from the liberal media but he already is a Trump supporter, he has seen the light.
fried spaghetti Well you heard Trump. Van’s been saying some really nice things. I guess so long as Trump’s fragile ego gets stroked, Van won’t have a problem. All seriousness though, I love seeing both sides coming together. We can do it. We just need to make some sacrifices.
Animals Don't blame trump for saying what he said. Think about what these MS13 did the heinous wicked things they did to a human being. Animal is a nicer name but reality they are demons from hell.
Way to come to the table Van. Hopefully other sincere liberals can learn from you. Us conservatives need such compassionate examples to moderate us just as much. From the other side of the aisle, thanks.
Good for van... this is a good start... Trump is a Real President for all... even the ones truly forgotten... I have a brother in prison and glad someone is doing something about the horrible conditions they live under... please dems work with him... you can make real change if you try... and be remembered for it... then being remembered for your no and Russia bs... really sad how far the divide is in this country... glad we could work on something together...
If there was more issues like this that Trump ran on, this support would be a common occurance - not a rarity. That's how politics is supposed to work, kids.
If Trump passes meaningful prison reform and these community initiatives for revitalization of urban areas and legal employment for ex prisoners. I will vote republican until democrats do something for us other than call everything racist and kick the can down the road.
Great to see VJ putting his feelings aside for the sake of other human being dignity. Humans have the ability to move beyond differences, these two have. Trump forgiving heart and VJ heart for those who really need compassion. God at work, at all times and in a mysterious way.
It's almost like Trump isn't as bad as the media says. I voted Hillary in 2016 but Trump is proving to be the right choice for America. He's not a hateful man. He wants what's best for America.
This and many other things explains why new poll says Blacks approval for trump hit 38% HOLY COW. To me that means the MORE we ALL think as Americans as Trump does Look what Trump got done in 2 years MORE then Dems/Obama did in 8 YEARS!!!
We all have OPRAH WINFREY to thank for this. Search for her interview with Van Jones and you'll see what I mean. She told him to stop the insults and start looking for ways to start a CONVERSATION.
Van Jones is looking at things the right way. If it's good, let's do good. Let's help prisoners get out. No one is more grateful than a prisoner who truly needs a second chance at life.
I am with him. I am a 2x Obama voter and voted for Bernie but Trump is now pres. If he is talking about this, lets talk?
Great thinking! Wish others would follow suit. I voted for O once, but was wise enough to vote for Trump for all the right reasons. He's doing well and I love my country. Van is doing what's right and it proves that we make up this country, not one man sitting behind the desk.

I applaud Van Jones 100%
Van Is a True Man.

CNN TAKE A LESSON FROM JONES .

@big poppa Van Jones got it right once, don't give him to many props
Trump knows how to forgive and forget.. so let’s all work together to make America great!!!
Good for van Jones
I dont agree with van on many things but I'm glad to see that when he does agree hes willing to come forward and work together
Sassy CountryGirl Never trust a Communist Freak.🤠
Tex Mex ad hominem. very mature.
Sassy CountryGirl out of curiosity, on what types of things do you not agree with van? not a huge fan myself, but probably for very different reasons than you.
lime light I think that Van tends to virtue signal rather than make logical assessments on many things
Sassy CountryGirl i never considered this. you've given me smthng to ponder. thank you.
MAGA vote trump 2020
Finally both sides coming together to get more things done. Its too bad they can t do it more often.
Vancouver Island Waterjet exactly. The left is toxic.
Vancouver Island Waterjet i believe that about the far left and yes that is the ultimate goal of the far left. But moderates usually get shut out by the far left and right and that makes it hard to get anything done.

GOD BLESS TRUMP WINNING Nobel peace prize waiting
Jason D I think once he realizes Trump is not as evil as he thinks they will begin to work on other things also.
Thank you for the effort Van, it’s really nice to see a effort put forward, instead of just talking out loud.
I love the fact that he had a big genuine smile after meeting, working and while talking about Trump!
Van Jones you are correct. Working together gets things done
Van Jones was the CNN commentator who said Russia collusion was a nothing burger.
He said it thinking he was not being recorded, he didn't say it on TV
Kudos to Van Jones & Jared Kushner for helping us rebuild the center!
Carpenters Apprentice get your pot head ass out of here.. He's a pawn.. You're probably too high to realize.. "Center"? Haha ok..
educate me then. How is he being used as a pawn? Don't just throw jabs, spread knowledge.
Carpenters Apprentice after a long days work and after reading my stupid "jabs" I'd like to apologize for trying to insult you, or. Make it personal .. I truly am.. I just don't like the fact that this "administration" uses every minority to seem like they genuinely care about minorities.. That's my opinion.. Again.. I'd apologize for my ignorant comments..

I'm all for the center, but I know for a fact these people aren't here for everyone.. Only for their people.. If you catch my drift..
Look at the kanye incident, he couldn't eait to use that ignorant "artist" to try and oander to blacks.. "look, the blacks love me".. Foh..
It's all good I know sometimes things get hot so I don't sweat it. you're right that it feels like sometimes they're only helping their team but on this one issue it looks like them pursuing their interest kind of intersects with The interest of the little guy. Not everything the trump administration does is good but not everything is bad. I appreciate you being cool & actually sharing your point of view with me brother. Take care!
It's beautiful to see the left and right working together rather than fighting, even if it's only for a fleeting moment
Fleeting moment is all I expect
you doing good Van
I'm glad to see he isn't as blind as I previously thought!
This is what you call being an adult. Finding common ground and getting stuff done! You don't have to agree on all the issues but work on something you do agree on. Grow up folks.
Respect to Van for putting aside political differences to fight for something he's passionate about
Surprising how smart Trump is,,
I am not surprised by how smart Trump is, many business men are smart and some are just lucky.

The best thing Van Jones ever did first time I ever seen him be an individual thinker.
Good for Van Jones. Showing political savvy.
#Trump2020
Any reasonable person ...who would examine Trumps policies fairly ..would support him !!He is like a conservative liberal or a liberal conservative !
A lot like JFK !!
He is the greatest !!
This is how American politics should work. Props to trump and Jones .
All of his answers were intelligent. Go Van!
Theaso Alfonso Good for him first at least trying. He’s a level headed guy.
I'm centre-right, but I can admire someone that is willing to stop the bickering in order to get something positive done. Good job.
I love you Mr President, you're very smart!
Imagine that..sitting down and discussing issues might lead to real progress. Wow...who would have known.
why was he there, because he wants to improve the country, thats obvious,, not so obvious the rest of you chumps at CNN
Van Jones looks like he is actually happy for the chance of working with TRUMP LOL!!!!
Hay look! It seems we can all get along if we just find some common ground! Who knew? #MAGA
Thank you Van for being open being true to Bipartisanship
He's already on the other side, he won't tell it openly just because of the criticism he will receive from the liberal media but he already is a Trump supporter, he has seen the light.
convince me ! his Russia nothing burger and support for this bill means little compared to all he has said on CNN
Love this. I like seeing the administration and Jones come together on something. Looks like they truly have a heart to do something.
My respect for Jones has slightly for willing to negotiate.
This is a good thing. Good job Van Jones One of the smarter voices of reason that called out for BS on both sides of the isle.
I'll be keeping an eye on this fella. Let's hope Trump doesn't decide to throw him under the bus.
fried spaghetti Well you heard Trump. Van’s been saying some really nice things. I guess so long as Trump’s fragile ego gets stroked, Van won’t have a problem. All seriousness though, I love seeing both sides coming together. We can do it. We just need to make some sacrifices.
manue3l1976 exactly. One of the very few
Joseph Gabbard .....😂😂😂
manue3l1976 CNN will likely fire him if he continues working with the Trump Administration on ANY subject.
Van Jones I respect you for meeting with President Trump. I am a white Republican and it is refreshing to see you in the White House. God bless you!!!
THIS IS GREAT. I'M GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE VAN JONES WILLING TO WORK WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND TRUMP ON SOMETHING. HE HAS MY RESPECT, UNLIKE DON LEMMON
we love trump...
Rubert Muellar he means the russians lol
Animals
Don't blame trump for saying what he said. Think about what these MS13 did the heinous wicked things they did to a human being. Animal is a nicer name but reality they are demons from hell.
Sarcasm
At least change the picture coz that guy really hates trump That much That he sang a song about trump
p ace so wats big deal i love both, trumps administration is best in the world
Way to come to the table Van. Hopefully other sincere liberals can learn from you. Us conservatives need such compassionate examples to moderate us just as much. From the other side of the aisle, thanks.
Damn, did I just upvote a cnn clip? Wtf is goin on, twilight zone
Van Jones appears honored to be spoken so highly of by the president.
Long over due. Any good news coming out of the WH is welcomed. Best of luck, Van!
Finally someone with common sense!
"This was a white lash against a changing Country, this was a white lash against a Black President": Van Jones.
Thank You Van.👍👍.Sometimes you have to work together to get something done.If it does not go thru at least you tried..
Van, for once, great job 👍
Trump 2020 MAGA 💪💪
CNN, better learn something from Van 🤓
YUP JONES GOT RED PILLED WELCOME BRO WE WERE WAITING FOR YOU💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
As a felon that sent 11.5 years in I want to thank Van Jones and Trump for at least looking at the issue.
Good job by Van Jones and good job by the White House! We must work together to make our country great.
If trump makes these changes it may be the greatest thing that’s happened in a very long time
Right on Mr. Van Jones! At least someone from the left is showing effort to work with this Administration!
Thank you to this mans stating the obvious
Good for van... this is a good start... Trump is a Real President for all... even the ones truly forgotten... I have a brother in prison and glad someone is doing something about the horrible conditions they live under... please dems work with him... you can make real change if you try... and be remembered for it... then being remembered for your no and Russia bs... really sad how far the divide is in this country... glad we could work on something together...
I don't know why our brother is in jail but I would guess that Democrat policies probably played a role in him going to jail.
Because Jay Z told Meek Mills Don't go it will Hurt your Reputation😂😂😂 Rappers Concerned about Negative Image MORE than Your President 😕 ❤
Thanks Van, this takes guts.
God bless Van Jones for Bri g a different voice than Don Lemon, solving the problem instead of talk, talk like Lemon.
CNN THIS DIDN'T AGE WELL FOR YOU.
RAW TRUTH! Prison Is A Business And YOU Are The Commodity.
If there was more issues like this that Trump ran on, this support would be a common occurance - not a rarity. That's how politics is supposed to work, kids.
JONES...👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸👍
Is this why we don't see Van much on CNN?? He is the best. Mad respect for him.
HEY VAN YOU JUST WOKE UP , WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
All we need now is for him to advocate for the Walk Away Movement, then and only then will he get my respect.
Van will walk away like every other rational person.
Just remember, Van Jones was the one who coined the term, "nothing burger".
Van, a real leader. Thx you for doing the business of the people selflessly.
Its almost funny.... i think van jones and trump agree on many more issues than he realizes
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Never seen Jones so star struck.
Van Jones is a damn good journalist
There are no journalists at CNN, nothing more than a TV rag mag
Good move, Van.
Interesting.
If Trump passes meaningful prison reform and these community initiatives for revitalization of urban areas and legal employment for ex prisoners. I will vote republican until democrats do something for us other than call everything racist and kick the can down the road.
Prison reforms for Only Hillary
Amazing! As facts prevail, some (Van Jones) see and feel a moral presence that has been buried. Van Jones may be seeing the light.
Great to see VJ putting his feelings aside for the sake of other human being dignity. Humans have the ability to move beyond differences, these two have. Trump forgiving heart and VJ heart for those who really need compassion. God at work, at all times and in a mysterious way.
Van Jones will be shouting "MAGA!!" right next to Yeezy in a week....lol
Glad that you've the light Van Jones....Stay in the light!
This is why Van Jones needs to go with Trump, Jared Kushner etc.
This is what Kanye said and yall called him a koonye
Respect to Van Jones. I watched the panel and he really cares about prison reform. He cares about making this country and people’s life better.
Van Jones has woke and joined the Trump train !
Would you give President Trump any credit Van Jones? Shameful!
Put him in line Van!
Van Jones is getting paid. That’s why he is there. Typical hypocrite.
It's almost like Trump isn't as bad as the media says. I voted Hillary in 2016 but Trump is proving to be the right choice for America. He's not a hateful man. He wants what's best for America.
This and many other things explains why new poll says Blacks approval for trump hit 38% HOLY COW. To me that means the MORE we ALL think as Americans as Trump does Look what Trump got done in 2 years MORE then Dems/Obama did in 8 YEARS!!!
It would be wild if Van Jones was a lure? Lol
What a super cool prez
So let’s get this right... Trump overturns Obama’s prison reform & only to do a bill that is less just to have his own name on it? Ridiculous
Van Jones, welcome Home!!!! Trump 2020!!!!
Why don't some of these " journalists " run for office, instead of just running their mouth. This is not meant to be a slur, it's a challenge. 🕶
We all have OPRAH WINFREY to thank for this. Search for her interview with Van Jones and you'll see what I mean. She told him to stop the insults and start looking for ways to start a CONVERSATION.
when these prisons get closed, where do those prison guards get their paycheck?
Van Jones is a serious person so him being involved in this changes my opinion of him, I'm glad he took up this fight with the President.Thank you Van
Van Jones is looking at things the right way. If it's good, let's do good. Let's help prisoners get out. No one is more grateful than a prisoner who truly needs a second chance at life.
Van Jones Qualifications: Black guy on TV
Isn't this what the so called " mad " Kayne West was saying...to have dialogue..hmmm
kerry fournillier exactly! Let's see those idiots leftists attack Van as looney
Van Jones in love with trump haha, he smitten!
Van Jones is one of the very few cnn personalities that I respect. He would go far if he decided to be a politician.
