More quotes by Van Jones
The bombs the government drops in Iraq are the bombs that blew up in New York City.
Van Jones
I do think it's dangerous when you are overly secularizing, and sometimes you get very smart, and sometimes [you] gain a lot of smarts, but you lose a lot of wisdom.
Van Jones
[Donald Trump] has a tremendous opportunity, you know, this week, to come out and say I don't want that.
Van Jones
The Russians have had and continue to have an active program to undermine American society.
Van Jones
Donald Trump's a hell of a performer, he's a hell of an entertainer. If you put him on and let him say his crazy stuff, you're going to get a lot of viewers. If you take him off and have some sober discussion about what's going on in Syria, you're going to lose 80 percent of your audience.
Van Jones
There are only two ways to have a middle class in your country: either you have highly skilled manufacturing jobs, or you have a highly skilled, well trained, knowledge-based workforce. In other words, college.
Van Jones
Come, then, let us go forward together with our united strength - and win a better future for generations to come.
Van Jones
Now we stand at our own crossroads, looking out upon two futures: one with rising temperatures, rising oceans, and rising violence on a hot and strip-mined planet and another with expanding organic harvests, growing solar arrays, and deepening global partnerships on a green and thriving Earth.
Van Jones
The Whitehouse is talking different because we are walking different
Van Jones
The usual pattern of demagogues is to promise the moon, fail to deliver, and then blame vulnerable others for those failures.
Van Jones
There's no higher honor, in my estimation, than being asked to serve in the White House.
Van Jones
It is extremely disappointing to me to see that even now when leading Democrats and even military veterans try to make our energy future an area of common ground and not a battleground, they are still being rebuffed by dirty energy devotees in both parties and undermined overall by the polluter lobby.
Van Jones
The chief moral obligation of the 21st Century is to build a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. Those communities that were locked out of the last century's pollution-based economy must be locked into the new, clean and renewable economy. Our youth need green-collar jobs, not jails.
Van Jones
There's a lot of things that I think you got to deal with. Hillary Clinton had to put down a rebellion in her own party, then she's going to have to put down the [Donald] Trump rebellion and then try to govern.
Van Jones
We should tell people we are working to protect our country. We are working to make America stronger for the long run.
Van Jones
The more we deploy the technologies to capture wind and solar power, the cheaper those technologies become.
Van Jones
People forget: solar panels don't put themselves up. Wind turbines don't manufacture themselves. Businesses don't retrofit themselves to waste less energy and water, nor do homes weatherize themselves.
Van Jones
No one is above the law, and no one is beneath the law.
Van Jones
We need a much deeper understanding of exactly what it is our industrial society, in its present creation, is jeopardizing. We need a more profound perception of what is at stake.
Van Jones
I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.
