Fox News’ Jesse Watters Catches Van Jones at Green Festival (& Gets Escorted Out!)

Fox News’ Jesse Watters is known for his comical and often telling on-the-fly interviews with prominent politicians and relevant sociopolitical figures. Recently, the “O’Reilly Factor” producer headed to the Green Festival in New York City, where he confronted former Obama administration Green Jobs Adviser Van Jones and spoke with countless conference participants.
The scenario ended with Watters being escorted out of the building (yes, literally).
The video starts with Watters talking with numerous conference participants about housing, green energy and the like. One individual proclaims, in reference to discussing more viable housing, that “the future is the past” (meaning that log cabins and other homes of the past are the greener way to approach living).
(Related: Van Jones to Conservatives: ‘How Many American Children Are You Willing to Kill for a Job?’)
Among other interesting products and ideals presented was a $40 lightbulb that lasts 32 years and the notion that recyclable clothing will one day be a reality for Americans.
The most interesting moment in the clip, though, starts around 1:00, when Watters caught up with Jones and asks him, “How do you think the president’s doing so far?” The former administration official, of course, is entirely positive about Obama’s tenure.
“I think the president’s doing very well,” Jones said. “Oil production is going up, gas use is going down. Both sides should be happy with this president.”
When Watters pressured the green-enthusiast to answer if he‘s been avoiding going on Bill O’Reilly’s television show, Jones evaded the question (click here to see Jones’ controversial statements made during a speech at the event).
In the end, the Fox producer and on-camera questioner was asked to leave, as some feared that he was preparing a hit piece that would poke fun at the conference. Instead, Watters showcased a clip that provided honest interviews (including admissions that some in attendance actually tune into the “Factor” quite frequently).

Posted on April 26, 2012 at 1:35pmWhat is always telling about the Obamas the Gores, the Van Jones is that they want YOU to live a certain way, but have no intention of living that way themselves. Can not, for the life of me, understand how people can be so utterly taken in by these people. It’s got to be some kind of derangement syndrome.

Posted on April 26, 2012 at 9:20amI have to disagree with Wilma. The don’t want to drag us back to the stome age they only want to take us back to the Feudal ones where they are the Lords and we are the Serfs and Obozo is King. And, one in which 50% of everything we have goes to them for the right to live on their ( not your ) land since they plan to confiscate it too/ Oh yeah that’s right, that’s where are today. Total combined taxes exceed 50% and if they want your land to give it to a friend to make money off it they just declare emminent domain and take it while claimining to compensate you fairly NOT. Had enough of this fairshare dodo yet!

Then the FORCED-taxes are only80-90% of their yearly farming-yield. Then the CatholicChurch comes along and demands a huge “tythe” so they can build a gold-plated cathedral. Those farmers would have been much better-off without these mortal-theives…maybe even richer and less-killed in the name of either the King or the Pope.

Report Post »SgtB
Posted on April 26, 2012 at 9:30amIf you truly believe in anthropogenic global warming (like the greenie idiots) then there is the fact that old growth forests are “carbon neutral”. New trees that are growing absorb CO2 to make the sugars and starches that they are made of while full grown trees spend far take in and use far less. So really, cutting down all the old growth and growing new trees would be good for the environment. Bring on the log cabins. I want mine built from the wood of a 300′ redwood.
