. >> let me bring in the host of the van jones show.lled out by soak other voters, are the candidates addressing those concerns do you think? >> the african-american is about 25%. and so all of the candidates are trying to figure out a way to breakthrough what is the issue? is it criminal justice reforms? student loans, whatever it is, part of what people have to keep in mind is this is a very sophisticated part of the elector rate. the black community held back from barack obama. they said we know hillary and bill, you have to earn it, even if you're barack obama, you have to earn it. that is why biden is sitting on the 30 plus exact. i don't think there is a single issue that will break anyone through, i think it is about the consistency of the outreach, and that is why you have everybody down there at that commission today. >> and just the sampling that we played shows what is most important to one black voter may not be what is on top of mind of another, they care about a variety of things clearly. you mentioned joe biden, he was no

van jones of the president obama. news pole. 42% of registered voters say the federal government can do a great deal to reduce gun violence but only 18% say it's likely that congress passes gun legislation they are optimistic if you look at the track record. it's terrible. did you the impossible. >> right. >> now we're talking about background checks which americans want. the gop blocks, the nra blocks, the president promised and failed. could it get done. >> it could. first of all i didn't do it by myself there were people involved in that i was proud to play a strong role. i'm watching in closely and seeing the same signs and same signals that something actually could get done. first of all, you see the president actually has been pretty consistent for a change. he put out the four things. background checks, red flag slaws, health care -- mid-mental health issues and lastly the question around cultural change. he has been consistent around that and his team. that's a sflal. he lays out the four corners of the deal. p

joining me the host of the van jones show, van jones.nderstand in laymen's terms what the actual change is here. >> this is a huge deal. you think about all the videos you see of people being shoot unarmed, later on no police officer goes to jail, the lawsuit doesn't work. nothing happens. this is finally california saying, listen, only shoot somebody if you need to. it seems very technical, from reasonable to necessary. what's happening is police officers would shoot people and they would say i was afraid for my life. if it reasonable that you were afraid? yeah. and there's no consequence. so what california is saying officers, only kill someone if it's necessary, if you absolutely have to. that is a massive change in the law and it actually brings i think law enforcement in line with what most people think is already the law. you shouldn't kill somebody unless you have to. >> governor, i want to give you a chance to explain why you're signing this legislation why it's important to you. >> it's important because we can't accept the scat

joining us for that, van jones, former season your obama white house advisor and host of cnn's van joneshow and with all the disclaimers including this poll has a margin of error 6% that is quite a bit, if you're part of the joe biden campaign and you've based this election on electability, how concerned are you that there is this poll out today which doesn't show you winning, which is supposed to be his thing? >> listen, this is not a good poll for biden and i do think that it speaks -- you have to look at the other polls, that stuff. listen, first of all, look at the strength of the progressive block. you know, when you put sanders and warren together, that's almost half the party going for candidates that are extremely, extremely progressive. this kind of cuts against the idea that the only thing that matters is electability. people may be recalculating what makes someone electable. the traditional wisdom is you're electable if you're more appealing to moderates and get independents. that narrative was carrying biden along. now you're starting to see people make the case it's going to

host of the van jones cmo and the redemption project, van jones, the van, the field has been paired down by half for the debates from the 21 acquaints, 20 to 10 who appear. gillibrand leaving. do you expect more to follow. >> i think more will follow. i think it's a very, very tough -- if you were in front of the american people with audiences of 10 million, 15 million, you got a chance to make your case twice and you still can't get 2% of the polls, it's hard to imagine how if you are then not on the debate stage how you suddenly have a breakout moment. i think the curtain is closing on a lot of folks. i have to say gillibrand brought a special and important focus to race on women and mother's issues, kind of a different trickle down economics empower women, empower mothers, and that's a boost for the economy. that voice will be missed going forward. but i think she has a future ahead of her in new york state. but she is not the last to drop out. >> okay there is a new poll from quinnipiac showing what's been a consistent factor for all the polls, a strong lead for joe biden there, 32%.

joining us now we have maggie haberman, van jones, cnn political commentator and former special advisor to president obama. and jeffrey toobin, cnn chief legal analyst and staff writer for "the new yorker." great to have all of you. i'll go with the political question of what's happening. because it's very unsettling to wake up to the news we could be involved already to an arms race now that the inf is dead. so, maggie, the president has put seso much political stock in cultivating a relationship with vladimir putin, and this is what we get an arms race? >> there's always been a dichotomy between president trump's approach to russia in terms to national securityads he heads to the g-7 where he's already said he thinks russia should be readmitted and make it the g-8. i don't know he's going to make these two things stand together. i don't expect a necessarily linear reaction from him because we don't usually get one, but i do think he's going to be pressed on this issue the next couple of days. >> i alone can fix it. he's going to be able to make great progress against u.s. adversaries,

please welcome me in joining van jones.plause] >> uh, i'm relieved, because nobody is going to remember anything that happened except for bryson. get that young man -- [applause] my goodness. verybody was wiping away tears listening to that young man. i will save time by echoing and ening all the great words of appreciation and all the honors to the people who are here and just say a few words. i'm a ninth-generation american. i'm a ninth-generation american. person in my st family who was born with all of my rights recognized by this government. i'm a ninth-generation american and i'm the first person in my family. so when people say why do you keep talking about these issues? i am not talking about my great great great great grandparents though i could and should. my mother and my father were orn under segregation. my father, willy anthony jones was born in poverty and segregation in memphis, tennessee. he joined the military when everyone was running out, my father ran in so he could put himself through college. e went t

if you're andrew yang, the yang gang van jones is so excited about those folks, we'll see what he doese debate stage. we'll see who else qualifies, right? it's ten now. is it going to grow to 11 or 12? then do they have to break it up into two nights of six people or do 12 altogether. it's abc's debate. >> every print reporter on deadline hopes there's not. the other three that could qualify are tom steyer, the billionaire, tulsi gabbard, kirsten gillibrand. rachael, you're tied closer to democrats in terms of your reporting and are totally plugged in on where they are on things. what's your sense right now? there's five and a half months, but is there a sense we need decisions now or we need to let this play out? >> democrats want a smaller field because of these reasons that we're talking about so each candidate can stand out and make their case and discern who is going to be the best candidate to stand up to trump. someone like steyer, he just jumped in but has put a lot of money up already and has endless amounts of cash. so if he can't make this next debate stage then a lot of dem

but, listen, you were sitting next to van jones.ate and he questioned your idea of decriminalizing the board. he said he thinks it creates political problems and alienates moderates. how do you respond? >> that's very telling because people never make an argument on the substance, they make an argument on the politics. my answer is this. if you elect me president, i want every voter out there to know that if you elect me president, you're not electing me to follow -- >> okay. >> -- you're electing me to lead. >> okay. >> and i will lead. even when some things right now are unpopular. >> okay. secretary, i want to get this in. because -- this moment from the debate last night. watch this. >> secretary castro, after the president's racist tweets attacking baltimore and congressman elijah cummings, the mayor of baltimore slammed the tweets and said to the president, and i quote here, "help us. send the resources that we need to rebuild america." so what would you do for baltimore and other cities that need help? >> first of all, the pr

talk to my friends across the aisle, i say in the words of the most salient, poignant message from van jonesreaming across america. what people are polling on in 2019 is not ha people are going to be voting on in 2020. the polls come oust the back side of el paso which realistically horrified a great deal of people across the political spectrum. ultimately when we get past this, two months from now, three months from now, is the economy still going strong, do the 6 million people who got jobs under donald trump still have jobs five months from now? those are the things we need to talk about. >> the biggest poll is the one on election day. thank you, all, for your time. i appreciate it. you've heard that president trump has been mulling buying greenland. the world's largest island. well, the people of greenland have a thing or two to say about that. we'll tell you what they think, next. i used to book my hotel room on those travel sites but there was always a catch. like somehow you wind up getting less. but now that i book at hilton.com, and i get all these great perks. i got to select my ro

van jones in the pregame show on cnn tonight went all in, went heavy for your next guest. >> thank you. well, that's cnn, isn't it? let me go to andrew yang here. you know, i've followed politics a long time, and you're not the new kid on the block when it comes to ideas. george mcgovern was going to give people $1,000 a year. you're going to give 1,000 a month. how do you differ? because it didn't work. >> i agree with you this idea's been with us for a long time. it was championed in the '70s. it passed the u.s. house of representatives twice under nixon. and alaska's had a dividend in effect for almost 40 years and they love it. >> how is the family assistance plan? >> yeah, the family assistance plan and the petroleum dividend in alaska. and what i'm saying to the american people is technology's the oil of the 21st century and what they're doing for the people of alaska with oil money we can do for everyone in the country with technology money. >> but that's royalty money, basically. that's sharing the royalty, the mineral wealth of alaska. what are we sharing with the $1,000? >> i

van jones. and two cnn comment at a timers. former governors. jennifer granholm of michigan.stion, joe biden. unlike the first debate he got into the fight. and got into the mud. with harris on healthcare and booker on crime. with castro on immigration. got into the fight. his team will be happy he showed up and fired back. his performance over the two hours was uneven. he fumbled facts and picked a couple fights he didn't need to pick and had to answer. putting on the defensive. the question was would he show up, he did. he started the campaign on a pedestal. above the rest of the field. tonight proved he's with the field. that for joe biden has been the problem the last two times he's run for president. breaking out when you're one of the pack. he started with an advantage. he's come back down into the group. >> the real winner was i think she's the best political athlete on the field. joe biden at times, he didn't seem like he wanted the ball. he gave up his time at times and didn't complete his thoughts. he wanted to just -- just kind of, you know, fade into the backgroun

the day started with me splitting a van with james earl jones.

[ laughs ] wow. and -- i just remember thinking, like, if it doesn't play here, like, i'll just -- i'll start something else. oh, wow, gosh. good thing it played. it played well, yeah. and good thing it wasn't a bad day or the president was thinking about, like, bombing osama bin laden at that time or whatever. but he was very good at compartmentalizing. so i think he still -- you remember. i see. he did that correspondents dinner while he was doing that. that's right. yeah, but that -- yeah. right. you're right. you're right. so, and well, it worked out quite well, i guess. yes. i think so. are you working on another musical? not another historical musical, no. but another musical? yeah, i always have ideas and it's sort of -- you kind of
