Van Jones thanks Jeff Bezos for $100 million award

Political commentator Van Jones accepted Jeff Bezos’s Courage and Civility Award during a ceremony on Tuesday, thanking the CEO for choosing him to help people achieve their dreams.

“Lauren and Jeff don’t do nothing small, man. They don’t do anything small. They just don’t do it. They dream big, they love big, and they bet big. And you bet on me, and I appreciate it,” Jones said at a news conference after receiving the award that gives recipients $100 million to donate to any charity or nonprofit organization of their choosing.
