let's get reaction from former senior obama adviser van jones and conservative radio talk show host danacomes to president's announcement, republicans should know how to take "yes" as an answer. what do you mean by that? >> i mean if you listen to republican conservatives yesterday, they were saying this is going to be the apocalypse and the overreaching president. come to them to make new law. they just want him to stay within the existing law and maybe double down and force the existing law. that's exactly what this president just said he's going to do. he's clarifying the existing law, doubling down and wants to be able to enforce it more. and for everything new he's going to congress. i would think that republicans would take "yes" for an answer for what they said they wanted yesterday and yet we hear all of this sort of hemming and hawing. i have never been more proud of this president than today. he was speaking for and two millions of other families that have been crying, watching cnn for years now seeing too many funerals, too much violence, too many memorials. i've never been pr

van jones with quite a plug there. not sugar coating it. n. >> i don't know if we need to plug the town hall anymore. thank you so much, van. great to see you guys. an additional programming note, monday night in iowa, one week before the iowa caucuses, hillary clinton, bernie sanders, martin o'malley will go face-to-face with the voters in that state, as van jones terms it, armageddon, cnn presidential town hall live from des moines. chris cuomo will be moderating. 9:00 p.m. eastern. >>> serious situation going on for millions of people. treacherous roads, canceled flights, empty store shelves, messy nfl week, too. we'll go live to charlotte, north carolina, site of the nfc championship game. >>> as we've been discussing, the gop cutting ties with the "national review" for an upcoming debate in the wake of its anti-donald trump issue. even booting the conservative magazine from taking part in the upcoming debate. a top rnc official will be joining us to discuss. see see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is

i want to bring kevin madden in to discuss this, van jones and jeffrey tubin who is here on set with me, cnn's senior legal analyst. details are still coming in on the president's plan. he wants to close the so-called gun show loophole that allows the sales of guns without a background check at gun shows and over the internet. the vast majority of americans agree with him. take a look at this poll. so what's the problem here, do you think? >> the problem is -- >> 93% of americans support that. >> but we don't govern by poll. we govern by congress. and the republican party is institutionally committed now to any form of gun safety, gun regulation, gun control. so it's dead on arrival in congress and, you know, remember, he had a democratic senate after the shootings in newtown and he couldn't even get background checks through there. now he has a republican senate. so, you know, anything he's going to do he's going to have to do by himself. what is the disconnect here? if 93% -- look at this poll. 93% of americans support background checks, right? jeffrey tubin said, well, we don't go

to continue to persist and be patient to get results. >> i know you want to weigh in on this. >> van jones saw a smile, and then a frown. i was watching your face, you were like uh, oh. what were you thinking? >> she's good. i mean -- >> come on. >> that's not who you painted her as. >> that's not what the you characterized her as a moment ago. >> that does go to the question about authenticity. tonight we saw the hillary clinton that is prepared or it commander in chief. she's very good. when she says stuff like that, it's reassuring democrats. >> it wasn't hillary the hawk tonight. it was hillary clinton, barack obama, made me his secretary of state, hillary clinton. and barack obama who by the way, opposed the war in iraq, made me his secretary of state. have i said that enough? and all evening long, all evening long, it was hillary clinton, comma, friend, colleague, secretary of state, of president barack obama -- >> barack obama. hillary, barack obama, hillary barack obama. >> there's a reason she's comfortable. and yes, democrats don't ask questions about terrorism. you notice what a

. >> let's bring in cnn political commentator van jones as well as republican consultant bruce haines. bruce, when you take look at the importance of iowa, the importance of the evangelical voters, what is the importance do you think for donald trump speaking before liberty university today? >> well, this is a moment for him of great opportunity. it's also fraught with peril. he has a chance, again, he's neck and neck with ted cruz in iowa right now. he's leading in south carolina, my home state, a state with a lot of evangelical voters as well. he has an opportunity to maybe pull away just enough of those voters in iowa to get ahead of cruz, but the danger here is, you know, trump's big stock right now is his authenticity, that he is kind of the most real, authentic, genuine candidate in the republican race, says what he thinks. this is no place to fake your faith at a podium at liberty university. he'd probably be wise to stick with connecting on other values that evangelicals care about like national security, like economic issues, and speak more broadly and not try to connect on t

. >>> let's talk about this with cnn political commentators, van jones and ben ferguson. good to see you all. happy new year. van, to you first, the president is using executive order. is this a sign of his frustration that he's been unable to work with congress to get something else done? how is it being interpreted that he's flecking his muscle this way? >> well first of all, i wanted to say, i am happy, happy, happy, very, very proud of this president. i mean, that was heartbreaking. you look at -- he starts off look like tiger woods, by the end looks like morgan freeman, seven years, almost eight years the president has been begging the country to take action. there's a circle what's allowable in our constitution, a circle of what is required by conscience. in the middle is where you find executive orders. this president is doing what i think americans want to be done. 80 plus percent of americans want something to be done. i'm very happy, very proud to see him doing this. it's heartbreaking. we've had too many funerals, too much terrorist violence with guns, too much

van jones, you're a supporter of these types of measures. you cannot argue they'd stop a san bernardino. why is this to important right now? >> i'm so proud and happy, i think a lot of americans really relieved the president is doing something. we always focus on the big mass shootings, they'll certainly druf a b drive a big part of the conversation. but we have funerals in america every single day from gurn violence. we have too much street violence, too much terrorism, too many suicides, too many guns. countries where they have tougher laws, smarter laws, better regulation have fewer funerals. you have a president who here in the last year is saying i can't do everything but i can do something. let me do what i can do. there's a circle of concern for his conscience, there's a circle of what the constitution allows where there's an overlap. he can do executive orders. that's what he's doing. >> the afterthought on this, errol, more money to enforce existing laws. talk to anybody who's in the middle to the right of this decision, good, that

let me bring in van jones. he is the co-founder of cut 50.partisan campaign to reduce the prison population. you, my friend, are very passionate about criminal justice reform. we've talked about this in the past. but to know the president did this today, it's huge. >> it's huge. i can't tell you. i'm so proud of this president. he's taken on a lot of tough issues. no issue more important than this. when you put somebody in solitary confinement, the old myth is these people are superviolent. you have to put them in this special situation. turns out that after about a week, people start literally going crazy. think about being on a long flight. how antsy you get. how -- imagine that never ends. and it's a week, it's a month, it's a year. i know a man who did a total of seven years in solitary confinement. he came out and he was able to turn his life around. but many people can't come back. that young man who took his life never even saw a trial. so you've got people who are suffering in this way. this president is now saying this is horrible, b

. >>> van jones is with me. are you encouraged that the city decided to ree release this have see. this progress at this point? >> it's limited progress. listen. rahm emanuel has a big opportunity. it's fine to stop the cover up but you have to start the clean up. ha big problem is right now there is a culture in chicago of purnlry and impunity within that department. all of these police reports are being written, they are fudging the reports. that's perjury and unlawful. the mayor has to change the convection for officers who lie under oath. it takes a while to work through the courts. you may not want to release every tape right away. that's fine. but you have a minuscule number of complaints that ever resulted in discipline. but you are seeing a culture of perjury, police officers doing one thing, writing something else and then the video comes out. he should have a special prosecutor right now. but realm emanuel, at this point, still seems to be leading from behind. this is one of the toughest guys in american politics leading from behind. >> neil let's talk about this. you hea

van jones, who worked for the president for a while in the first term said, and i quote here, i understand the tightrope from the beginning, and maybe this is the answer to the question, but let me address it. i understand the tightrope from the beginning. he's the president of all people, but sometimes i feel like he was the president of everyone except black people. given the amount of opposition obama faced and the fact that there's this paradoxal nature, a black president can't be all about black people, is that an acceptable excuse for why he hasn't done more than? >> no no, it's not an acceptable excuse, because given the opposition that the president faced, we must understand that there are ways he could have used his administrative influence to address the high black unemployment rate, the job growth, the income situation and all of this. let me give you an example. >> okay. >> when the congress prop yates money for job training, they don't talk about how to spend that money. the president could have had his administration direct for spending and training in ways that would have a

democratic strategist and cnn political commentator van jones. national political columnist for yahoo! news matt bai and alex stewart. i saw you furiously taking notes during that interview, what do you make of that? >> i think the good doctor's campaign needs a doctor. it's in serious trouble. d that's important for a couple of reasons. he was the cap on ted cruz. and as he's diminished cruz's unleashed. not very healthy for the republican party. but carson is still the sole of the republican party. he's kind of the moral and spiritual leader. that's an important thing. but once consumers buy a product, take it home, try it, and thendecide, not happy with it, put it back on the shelf, they're not likely to go back and buy it again. it's going to be very hard for dr. carson medically revive your campaign. you were the communications director for mike huckabee, you stepped down. >> ben carson has had a he had a phenomenal start in the presidential campaign, there's no doubt about that. but at this stage in the game, one month out of the iowa caus,

. >> john, editor in chief of daily beast and van jones.izing enough in terms of democrats and republicans. can he do it? can he win? >> the two parties are more polarized and the american people. if they put forward a bernie sanders who may play in the debates but can't help people in the center. you are going to have a massive moderate majority of americans who are not represented by the other party, particularly those nominees. in that specific instance, 44% of americans self-identify as independent and 60% want to see a third party, michael bloomberg's self-funding would have a shot. >> this is a gun-heating pro-choice billionaire. he told new mothers they have to breast feed. you can't have formula in hospitals. this is what we're talking about. who would his candidacy hurt more, democrats or republicans? >> first of all, you're 100% right. this only works in a very strange situation. if hillary clinton completely implodes, something crazy happens, she's basically unelectable. >> the e-mails. something could happen there. >> you have t

ben ferguson, van jones, thanks to both of you. >>> we want to let you know about a big event that'sing next monday night in iowa, and it will be seen only on cnn. exactly one week before iowa chooses, bernie sanders, hillary clinton and martin o'malley will go face to face with the voters in iowa. in a cnn democratic presidential town hall live from des moines, chris cuomo will moderate. the final pitch for all the candidates before the first votes are cast and a unique opportunity for iowans to ask questions of the three democrats. that's next monday night, 9:00 p.m. eastern only on cnn. >>> still to come in the "newsroom," markets in turmoil. a sea of red across wall street. what's moving and how low could we go? next. they think that it's sad. i think it's important for everyone to know that there is so much more to memory support than the stigmas you hearabout. that these residents still have lives and their lives still matter and that they are still living their lives. that they're not locked away and that they still have a lot to live for, you know, that they have people that

. >> i'll go out to van jones, what hoops?>> well, i don't -- first of all, i just have so much sympathy for her loss and the loss so many people have faced because of gun violence. i do take issue with the constant assertion that nothing can be done and nothing is effective. if you look at missouri when they took a step back away from background checks they had a 14% increase in homicides about 60 more people a year started dying. in connecticut when they implemented background checks they had a 40% drop in gun-related homicides. when you have the background checks that this president is talking about applying to everybody you see a statistically significant decrease in violence. >> i know you want to respond to that. but listen to this first. i think this is all part of it. in the town hall tonight the president was confronted by kimberly corban. take a listen. >> i have been unspeakingly victimized once already and i refuse to let that happen again to myself or my kids. why can't you see that these restrictions to make it h

. >>> outfront, with me, van jones, and richard and steve slan ek, cnn law analyst and a law professoru very much for coming in. we now have some of the detail as what the president is going to announce, push for, whajd he'll formally unveil tomorrow. richard, from what you've heard, background checks is a big focus for the white house and the president rfrmt president. i thought it wassing are interesti interesting. 84% supported it. with all of that in mind, what is the problem then with this move by the white house? >> well, i haven't read the details of the report, but our organization has always supported mandatory background checks between strangers at gun shows, on the internet. the real problem is going to come when we examine the requirements of transferring guns between family members, friends, co-workers. that's where the rubber's going to meet the road. in my original perusal here, there are some very good things the president is proposing. $500 million for mental health research. that's a good thing. my only question is why did it take him seven years to figure that out. >

and back with john king, michael smerconish, gloria borner, david axelrod, and amanda carpenter, van jones, mike rogers, in terms of the tone of this president, john king, is it different than what we heard in the state of the union last year? >> well, sure, it's the last one. and the tradition says i want you to pass this, i want you to pass that and hope you can work together on this. bill clinton was famous for it. but this president gave a couple of long state of the unions where they list ten or 12 and they fight over what gets mentioned. and it is a big elbow match. this time the president essentially said i'll get back to that. i want to talk more theematically. it was striking in how much he wanted to defend what he has done and what he is doing in which he is the issue. there is con standpoistant crit everything. the republican campaign casts this presidency as a failure and he was rebutting them. >> how do you judge the effectiveness of the state of the union if anyone can remember a line from last year, please speak up. what is an -- >> the way sometimes you judge it is if a pre

"out front" with us to discuss ben ferguson, conservative radio talk show host and van jones, a formercial advisor to president obama. it's great to see you. ben, in response to the president's remarks today and officially rolling out these measures, we were hearing mixed messages from gun rights supporters. on one side, this is a vast overreach. paul ryan called it a form of intimidation that undermines liberty. others are saying these measures aren't that big of a deal. so which is it? >> i think there are two things that are concerning. one is the fact now doctors will be turning over information which many people are going to be concerned with hipa issues when it comes to mental health. the question is if a doctor says you're mentally unstable, how do you get your name off that list if they report you to the background check system? there are many americans that do need help. they ask for help from doctors every day with mental health. those bipolar and others. when they get it under control, do you lose your right to protect yourself, your family and your home? the white house hav

continuing our conversation now, peter beinart, also van jones, gloria borger, michael smerconish, donna brazile, and bakri sellers. it highlights how important iowa was in all of this when you look at the polls, you look at what happened. also we didn't talk much about the republicans. have we mentioned trump once? >> thank god. >> it's midnight and we haven't mentioned him in an hour. >> and we haven't mentioned o'malley. >> i've got something nice to say about martin o'malley. >> first of all -- >> we did talk about o'malley. you said he was going to bring it. and you said, well, he showed up. he was present. >> he did do very well today. i mean, he's going before the firebrand surge. 74-year-old devout socialist who's a revolutionary. and hillary clinton, who's a staalward of the party. that's difficult. >> and he said let's not talk about process, let's talk about people. and i think in his response to many of the questions he tried to bring it back to the people. the people in iowa. and then he tried to bring it back to his own message in terms of delivering, as -- come on. i'm bei

and van jones.'re not only a cruz supporter you're a lawyer. >> a constitutional legal work. >> cruz said it's settled law. it's not settled law. it's likely that -- >> as in like 99.9% likely. >> right. >> never been a u.s. supreme court -- >> right. >> he was naturally born a u.s. citizens. so if what you care about is the text of the constitution, this is open and shut. he's in exactly the same position that mccain was. mccain was born on foreign soil as a u.s. citizen. >> well, mccain was born on a u.s. military base to two u.s. citizens. >> that has not mattered during our lifetime. >> both his parents. >> that has not mattered during our lifetimes. this is an example of just throwing in the kitchen sink as he closes in on winning iowa. that's what it is. >> fair enough. mccain initially came out and said, no, this is different than my case. of course, a lot of bad blood between him and cruz. >> yeah. this is the kind of sort of circus that trump -- trump wants to be the distracter in chief. he

you've got van jones and newt gingrich. you've got americans for tax reform and the aclu.' got theaacp andhe coatthers -- [applause] you have to give them credit. you have to call it like you see it. juan: a day after president obama's speech in july, we interviewed mark holden, senior vice president, general counsel's for koch industries on why the koch brothers were getting involved in a coalition to reform the criminal justice. >> charles koch and david koch are classic liberals that believe in expansive liberties and limited government. if your goals are to honor the bill of rights and to remove obstacles to opportunity, special for the poor and disadvantaged, yet to be the criminal justice arena. to answer your question, as van pointed out, what worked 20 or 30 years ago doesn't work today and we have to have the intellectual honesty encourage and humility to correct that in our businesses we do that all the time when things aren't working. to his point, what we're seeing happen in the states is really a template for what should happen of the federal level and making

to van jones who was here last night, he said the best way to stop a bullet is a job.rguson, missouri, that's a jobless economy. think about what's going on in baltimore, that was a jobless economy. think about what happened in south-central l.a. that started operation hope, the rodney king riots, jobless economy. 700 credit score communities don't riot. only 500 credit score communities do. we have to move credit scores 120 points. we are doing that through our locations, an innovation, a new software to give people uplift that can measure. it also brings more gdp in the economy and the guy who made the suit, we raised his credit score 100 points, taught him to be an entrepreneur and now he has six employees and is adding to his taxes, raising his children and adding to the american dream of small business creation. >> how do you do this town by town and city by city, get businesses engaged? it seems like such an overwhelming challenge. is it one step at a time? >> it is one step at a time. i think it's also scaleable. we are going to open 1,000 hope inside locations.

i want to bring in van jones, and amanda carpenter, democratic strategist paul begala, and mike rogers was interesting to hear biden say that bernie sander hayes credibility, obviously the implication is that hillary clinton does not. he said she just hasn't been talking about it quite as long as bernie sanders has. >> it's been -- something is happening in the democratic party which i think the mainstream media has been missing. this sanders surge is a real thing. >> he's not going away, at least not in iowa and new hampshire. >> certainly not. part of what you are seeing is that it looks like hillary clinton has built a good machine. bernie sanders is building a movement. she has the heads of all the grass tops. he hayes the hearts of the grassroots and you have a real fight shaping up. and you see her punching back, and it looked for a moment biden leaned in sanders' favor. >> but paul, obviously you support a hillary clinton super-pac, right? >> i advise the super-pac that supports hillary. i'm not undecided. >> in the interview with alison tonight, she was saying, look, we have a

and back with john king, michael smerconish, gloria borger, david axelrod, and amanda carpenter, van jones, mike rogers, in terms of the tone of this president, john king, is it different than what we heard in the state of the union last year? >> well, sure, it's the last one. and the tradition says i want you to pass this, i want you to pass that and hope you can work together on this. bill clinton was famous for it. but this president gave a couple of long state of the unions where they list ten or 12 and they fight over what gets mentioned. and it is a big elbow match. this time the president essentially said i'll get back to that. i want to talk more thematically. it was striking in how much he wanted to defend what he has done and what he is doing in which he is the issue. there is constant criticism of everything. the republican campaign casts this presidency as a failure and he was rebutting them. >> how do you judge the effectiveness of the state of the union if anyone can remember a line from last year, please speak up. what is an -- >> the way sometimes you judge it is if a presi

let's stay on this and bring in commentator van jones. nice to see both of you, gentlemen.with ted cruz, mr. trump. don't even try. when you look at history, nothing seems to ding donald trump. why would this? >> well, when mark levin's approach has been one where he's praised donald trump over time and a lot of us have for how he came out at times and took on the establishment. but then when ted cruz passes him in one poll in iowa last month, the very first time on december 7th, he turns and attacks him on two things. one of them is that ted doesn't get along with the establishment. where does that come from? the other thing that he attacked them on is not opposing ethanol subsidies for big corn. and a lot of these if you don't think you're going to go to iowa and take on special interests, why do we think you're going to come to washington and do that. so he raised questions with that kind of an attack on ted cruz. >> van, i want to ask you about the dims in your party in a minute. you want to touch on this? >> first of all, 2 corinthians. listen, if you can't look at a b

and i think earlier in the week i saw our friend van jones saying there is an open revolt in the democratic party over hillary. i suspect these are tied in together and there is more to come on this. >> co-you think he put to bed the eligibility issue. >> it was a mix of facts, star chasm and humor. he had to give a full fledged answer. he tried to find a youtube response. it is an interesting contrast. >> he was using humor more than normal. >> rubio had good moments but he was too scripted and came off nervous. he knows his facts but when it is always like that there is -- >> i disagree with that respectfully. i think that cruz made a mistake in how he went back and forth. i don't think he has put it to rest. by talking about it in a legal way and bringing in donald trump's own history with donald trump's mother, i think all that did is prolong it news. >> it would have been better after if he hit it and moved own and talked about the bigger issues that brought him to the top of the polls like immigration. >> i do want to get a quick break in and talk to lawrence traub about the citizensh

discuss is our commenter and donald trump supporter jeffrey lord, and cnn political commentator van jones argument that president obama basically led with last night. which is every single one of you in this room, in this town hall who owns a gun had to pass a background check. why object to other people who are trying to buy it online or at gun shows or on the internet having to do the same thing? >> well alisyn -- i think the complaint -- i am not a gun owner. but i believe the complaint is these things don't work very well. there was a shooting in california in the santa barbara area in 2014. and i went and checked on that. it was this young kid who killed all sorts of people. and i believe he was killed himself. and i found out that the brady gun control people had said that california -- they gave california an a minus rating saying they had the best gun control laws in the country. yet this kid managed to get a gun. so they are doing everything asked and still this happened. >> yes and i want to bring in van. hold on jeffrey. that is an important point. people brought it up last nig

>> she tweeted about how van jones praised the speech and that's everything you need to know about what happened with nicki haley. ann's clearly been the most aggressive example of this. there has been other conversation around it. some of these people are known as donald trump supporters and nicki hay lee had stuff to say that eluded to donald trump and in many ways her speech said what washington is trying to gap l with right now. i think a lot of people are resigning to donald trump may be the nominee. >> i think she's saying it's not smart to attack ted cruz and donald trump. why are we going after these people who have captured so much imagination of our party? >> especially when you're giving the republican response. i can certainly understand that. >> it is fascinating hearing nicki haley being described as a mad rate when she clearly came from the republican party in 2010. >> i think the whole night was historic when you look at the president of the united states, final state of the union and then nicki hay lee as the response. a lot of things there just basically incredibly mov
