Im screaming at the radio - why?
I love Van in general. I downloaded this podcast after Megan kelly mentioned Van’s name on her podcast. I find the topic interesting but many times found myself wanting to know the why or the other side of the story. Sometimes it feels like Van is “selling” his side of the argument and presenting the facts for that vs showing both sides and making an argument for his side. This is a problem that I have in general with the world of any kind of media! I always want to hear for and against and argument so that i can feel like I understand better. Why wont anyone do this anymore like it used to be. One example is the info about black/brown’s being disproportionately incarcerated but then talked about economic status. Should we be looking at this from an economic status vs race? Please explain as nobody ever seems to talk about this? It drives me crazzzy. Could the main problem actually be economic, then we look at race within economics? I never hear the facts about this. It seems to always be presented in race terms today. What about your discussion about someone getting a ticket and the trickle down problems if the lose the ticket - there is no discussion about personal responsibility - it was just presented like if u lose your ticket and there are consequences how dare our justice system do this? No acknowledgement that while we realize the person that lost their ticket needs to be responsible for this, we feel there should be more assistance bc if you are poor you should still be-able to make mistakes like losing your ticket and have someone help you find out what to do and get through it. This is where you lose me. If you said lets put resources in poor communities so that they have someone to go to that helps guide people when they lose their ticket you would not lose me. Please please please have a podcast about is the issue of: America, where do our problems truly stem from - poverty or race?

More reviews of Incarceration, Inc. with Van Jones
Thank you for talking about this much needed subject. There’s another podcast that’s like nothing else out there. It’s a guy behind bars who reconnected with a childhood friend

My favorite gamer gets more of an audience than this broke network. And he doesn’t have 89 million cable subscribers subsidizing him! Thanks for the podcast. Keep up the good work.
