and so for example, rand paul cory booker, several of us in the house are working on legislation to change mandatory minimums. you saw what happened in california with proposition 47 which changed several offenses and reduced them from felony to misdemeanor. so i think we are beginning to take a look at what we did over the last 20 years, which was really crazy and it led to the massive incarceration problem that we have today. and it's time to roll back some of the legislation. a few years ago in california, we reformed the three strikes law. the time is now. we have to act quick. but believe me we have several legislative proposals to put forward. i have one specifically for students in making sure that if you have a drug-related offense, you can qualify for financial aid. because right now you can't. and here we are legalizing marijuana around the country. we need to get our laws in step with what is happening throughout society in terms of changing viewpoints. >> and one of the reasons that i asked you about the legislators because everyone has a role here. >> right. >> and i talked ab

i want to recognize senator cory booker who i believe is here. he hasn't been in the senate long enough to know that he should filibuster. i recognize his presence rather than ask him to come up and talk because he indicated he wants to learn rather than lecture. so on to lectures. van jones who you know was in the obama administration and at cnn and has worked in and is interested in these problems, as interested as anyone. i would like to ask him because one of the things he has been doing is studying how we got to where we are. how did we end up with 25% of the world's prisoners in our prison system? and then move on to what can be done about it. if you don't know how you got there it is pretty hard to figure out how to get out. van?

>> well, the great thing is that people like cory booker, rand paul who are coming together and putting forward good solution, and on the education stuff, and listen, i would love to the hear if the republicans can support the president to make more education available through the community college stuff, and that is important. used to be that high school was not available to everybody, and america is strong, because we opened inup the high school. >> and one thing is that graduation rates are too low in urban centers, and if we do not focus on that, we can talk about the problems all day long, but if we don't get the kids access to quality education, and the environment encouraging them to get education, we won't fix the problem. >> it seems that everybody from the president to republican 2016 contenders, everybody just discovered poverty, to everyone is talking about it. to your points, had the president tonight talked about poverty and given maybe some shoutouts to the republicans who are interested in solving poverty like paul ryan and mitt romney and instead of assailing them for t

look at the efforts senators cory booker and rand paul put forward and also in light of recent eventsmon ground. >> but in any case, you're saying there are ways to find common ground even though the stated positions of the two sides are poles apart? >> yes. if the next few years work well or work at all, you will hopefully have a situation that is akin to what president clinton had with the republican congress in the 1990s. where there were still deep disagreements but some policy matters where they could come together. >> all right. congressman joaquin castro and senator john thune, thank you so much. good to you have on the show. bob franken, stay with us. >>> still ahead, netflix finds a lot more viewers. 4 million more. how they are doing it. next, in business before the bell. plus independent senator bernie sanders will be our guest. we're back in just a moment. you only know in a fire to get out, to escape and now ok you are outside and you are safe but what do you do now and that's where the red cross came in... . we ran out of the house just wearing our pajamas. at that point
