here to talk about former obama special adviser van jones and national director of the anti-defamationt tuberville. sitting u.s. senator making those kind of remarks in front of a crowd in alabama that seems to welcome and cheer them. your reaction. >> well, i mean, it's the epitome of racism first of all to say that, you know, it's as if all the crime in america is being done by black people which it's not and then that reparations is about black people stealing stuff from white people which it's not. and the huge cheer from people. this is the kind of stuff that needs to be challenged from within the republican party. there's plain ways to talk about crime but to say it's a conspiracy on the part of democrats to help i guess black people steal stuff from white people plays to every conceivable stereotype and dangerous. >> met by silence by many in the republican party. >> yeah. it's -- you know, i can't believe it's 2022. i mean none of this stuff -- this is the last -- everything we're talking about today -- we need to be coming together as a country. we have 100 problems to solve a

van jones and alice stewart join us to discuss that and much more in politics.nt's extraordinary warning about the risk of armageddon, not being this high since the cuban missile crisis in the '60s. he said it at a fund-raiser, and the white house has been pushing back on it. what do you think, does the white house have a messaging problem here? >> well, look, i think the main threat and main danger is not biden's words, but putin's actions. i think we need to remember he wasn't making a new speech or policy declaration. and he's something that is true. now, i would encourage the white house to do the best they can. we know joe biden is not free of gaffs, but he has been been free of them for a very long time, but to pretend if we wind up in a disaster, it's because of something he said off the record. that's not why we're headed toward disaster. it's bag putin want to booze hi will. >> what about mike mullen said. he seems to be suggesting that the president's rhetoric could escalate the situation. i'm just curious what you would say to him. >> if he continues

van jones as well.o another closely watched senate race, mike lee is facing an independent challenge from evan mcmullen. democrats didn't even feel the candidate. mcmullen is hoping to appeal to voters in both parties. here's jeff zeleny. >> reporter: he's no longer a republican and he's never been a democrat. but evan mcmullen is asking voters from both parties to join his insurgent campaign to win a senate seat as an independent from utah. >> our democracy is at great risk right now and we will decide as a nation over the next two cycles, this cycle and the next, whether we still are a democracy or whether we're going to head down a road towards authoritarianism. >> reporter: in one of america's most conservative states, mcmullen is going against the grain to challenge two-term republican senator mike lee and to take on the entrenched two-party system in washington. it's become one of the most unique senate races of the fall, after democrats here decided to stand down and not field a candidate. ben mc

and former special assistant to the president obama, van jones. and maggie haberman, "new york times" senior political correspondent and author of "confidence man, the making of donald trump and the breaking of america." so dana, let me begin with you. kari lake, she clearly does not want to say that she would accept the results, whatever they are, of the election. >> she is reserving to do what donald trump did on a national level, especially in the state where she's running, in arizona, which is to not admit and not accept the reality. now, i pressed her one more time after what you played, and she simply said, i'm not going to entertain that idea, because i'm going to win that. is a more traditional answer that candidates won't even accept the notion of losing, at least, you know, a few weeks before election day. but because she is a very clear election denier when it comes to 2020, calling it corrupt, calling it stolen, and all the words we heard from donald trump, it is logical to think that she would use that same strategy for her own electi

and van jones, an activist working on the cj's case.there's something to be said about how c. j.'s case was able to start. this rival granting shooting thing, they didn't really seem like there was a great desire. we need to make an arrest, we need to make an arrest and not really we need to search for justice here and figure who did it. >> i want to thank you, and i want to thank your dad. your dad is a bulldog, your dad will not let this thing go. as a result, maybe we'll get some kind of justice. brian stevenson, he says it is america now, it is better to be rich and guilty then poor and innocent. if you are poor and innocent, the chances of getting a good lawyer or not what they should be. this is a case that shows you did more work to figure out what happened then the cops, the prosecutors or the defense attorney. once you start looking under these rocks, what you find is a system that is broken. it is a broken system that the sixth amendment, all these conservatives love the constitution, the six of them and says that if the state

joining us is cnn political reporter and cnn political commentator van jones.president obama. ebert, walker addressed this again today. >> anderson he says he does not know the identity of the woman at the center of the daily beast story that has rocked the campaign. he also suggests the signature in the get well card included in the report is not from him. take a listen to how he spoke about this on fox news. >> have you figured out who it is? >> not at all. and that is what i hope everyone can see. sort of like everyone is anonymous or everyone is leaking and they want you to confess something that you have no clue about but it just shows how desperate they are right now. they see me as a big threat. >> is that you? >> that is what i said. it looks like my signature. first of all, i never put an age on. anything i never have and as i said, do you know many things i've signed? but i've never signed anything with just age. and i said that is why i said whoever is doing this, as you know it's not true. it's a lie. >> perhaps more damaging than in the report itse

. >>> i want to bring in cnn political commentator van jones along with former ohio governor and cnnmmentator john kasich. john, first to you, this new ad from walker, it does not address this controversy, specifically. instead, it attacks his opponent. what do you make of that? >> well, they're trying to figure out how they can respond. i think the thing that is the -- the posting that's been put up by his son is, i think, pretty devastating. that's the thing that they should be very concerned about. i think he tried to answer it, but look, the situation is, in georgia, in regard to this race, there are a lot of people that will vote for people that they find distasteful just to try to reverse the policies of inflation or the stock market going down, but you get to the point where things can get so bad that people say, i may care about these other issues, but i just can't vote for this guy. and that's the problem that herschel walker is developing now as to how it's going to turn out. we're going to have to wait and see. >> i want to get to you in just a second, van, but so far, som

. >> eva mckend joins us now, along with cnn political commentator van jones, who served during the obamaation. eva, walker was asked this afternoon about his comment this morning that if it had happened, that there is nothing to be ashamed of there. what exactly did he say in response? >> the issue here, anderson, is sometimes it's difficult to understand what herschel walker is trying to get across. many took his comments on the radio today to mean that there is no shame in accessing or paying for abortions, that he would have no shame in the, but it was so meandering. if you go back and listen to the entire radio interview, it was not entirely clear. this afternoon though, when asked about this, he suggested what he was referring to with past allegations regarding his ex-wife and the accusations his son christian made earlier this week. >> i just got to say, i have been reading his second answer to try to explain the first one to hugh hewitt, and it's incomprehensible. >> totally -- >> literally, the reporter sent, you said business than i have been, there's nothing to be ashamed of, h

here's what van jones did to try to explain what his biggest problem with marijuana is. >> black people are still far more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession then white people. what happens is if you're ever in american you will have more contact with the police anyway because the police over police black communities. if you wind up getting picked up on the charges. reducing the number of charges that come against an african american kid is overall really good. >> laura: so, over policing is the problem we have in the inner-city? what? >> this war on the police which caught fire during the violence of black lives matter riots a few years ago is unending. the fact is, drugs feed violence and a lot of the communities and cops are there on the front line. not every cop makes every perfect decision and nobody of us would in the stressful situations. what i see in polling is that people of color are embracing the police because they have chaos and violence in their communities. the idea that continues to somehow cops are a maligned influence in society and feeding racism is wrong

van jones made a really important point. along with the person from the atlantic talking about identity politics and democrats are the only ones getting smeared for playing identity politics. choosing mike pence. donald trump, said not a particularly saintly fella. he found a strong evangelical partner who could stand by her. -- stand by her connecting. not only democrats that do that. i want to say something about the comments. somebody asked a two-part question. the first part, -- what is her name? >> katie: it is her maiden name. >> greg: married to jonas, very important. >> jesse: to one of the jonas brothers? >> katie: yes. >> jesse: tmc. >> jessica: this is not what this is about. she asked a two-part question. one piece was about the disaster aid relief and the other was about the impact of global emissions. >> greg: which she is guilty of. >> jessica: okay. kamala harris was talking about with the communities of color, the impact on countries, caribbean countries that got the worst of it with emissions versus other c

. >> joining us is political commentator van jones. who does suffer the consequences? who is this going to impact? >> first of all, i just want to say this is why we vote. when people say my vote doesn't matter, elections don't matter, nothing matters. this is why we vote. on the campaign trail he said he was going to do something about it and he's doing something about it and it does affect disproportionately african-americans, poor people, people of color. why? marijuana is being used by lots of people. it been effectively legal for rich white folks for three decades but there's more police contact in poor communities because the police are there more often and you wind up getting people with these marijuana charges. this particular set of charges is only going to affect about 6,000 people. this is simple possession. this is not big drug dealers. this is somebody smoking a joint in a national park or on a reservation or somewhere in washington, d.c. and they wind up with a federal charge and it never goes away. most of the people watching right now have had some expe

matt , here's van jones did to try to explain what his biggest problem with marijuana is . >> black people are still far more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people. what happens is if you're african-american, you're going to have more contact with the police anyway because policecaul over police black communities. so you wind up y gettingou w pin up on these charges, reducingr the the number of charges that can come against an african-american kid. >> a neighborhood is overall really goo d. th, matt , overpolicing is the problem.e problem we have in the we have in the inner city. >> that? yeah, this look, this war on the police, which really caught fire during the violences of black lives matter riots from a few years ago. it is unending. >> and the fact is drugs feed violence in a lot of thesee communities and cops are there on the front line. not every cop makes every perfect decision. i don't think any of us wouldpef in theseecus stressful situatio. what they're trying to doations is help these people. what i see i.whn pollinat i seeo is that people of color a

i want to bring in the former ohio governor john kasich along with van jones our political commentatorser to president obama. welcome to both of you. governor kasich, this all just changed really in the past half hour. the "new york times" saying that they were able to verify and are able to confirm with "the daily beast" and saying that the child who is now 10, herschel walker also wanted to end in an abortion. the story gets worse for herschel walker. he hasn't provided any evidence to rebut these allegations. so do you think he gets through this or not, governor? >> well, he's got his own family out against him. he's a terrible candidate. he's a flawed candidate. i am a republican, but i call them like i see them. the guy is -- i don't think has the capability to even switch the subject if he could, answer this then switch the subject to things like the price of gasoline or inflation or the stock market going down, or crime. look, he just fumbles the ball all the time. and he was one of the people that donald trump picked. i just don't -- i mean, frankly, erin, if i were betting mon

if you tom jones van, you know what i just did there, all right.eep low by the way. it was a fantastic show. it really was. he was amazing for 82 years, young alright? that low is giving record lows. deep snow to the parts of the northern great lakes. the pattern is blocked that high in the pacific northwest has not budged for about three weeks, so they're beside themselves with record heat fires and smoke. everything is about the change was also a southern branch of the jet stream, which is favored southern california, arizona, new mexico and now into texas. so you get what's called a rex block. they usually break down after about three weeks. guess what it's breaking down this weekend, right? and right on cue. look at all the twenties. i mean there have been record lows on numerous record lows from the great lakes all the way down almost to the deep south, almost cincinnati 39 chicago, 35 22 lemoine 23 in minneapolis. and if you didn't hear the upper peninsula, michigan edit ton of snow. we get a lot of high clouds coming in, and these higher clo
