133
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: Now I've never had to say your last name before, Dara.

134
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: But let's see if I get this right, merge A Hanjirie.

135
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: Pretty good?

136
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 10: Pretty good?

137
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: Is that right?

138
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

139
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 3: Okay, they had to spell it phonetically for me, but

140
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: it worked out.

141
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: Now, I've known Daarra forever just from being in the

142
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: food industry originally Philips correct. And now look at you

143
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: with your own restaurant, say Less, but not just a restaurant,

144
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: but like a destination location here in New York, and

145
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: that's sei Less. Now a lot of athletes and celebrities

146
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: and artists end up coming to say Less. How did

147
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: y'all manage to get that following? Because that is something

148
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: that I feel like any business should want to figure out,

149
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: And it's not an easy thing to do to build

150
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: those relationships where they trust you, but they also feel like,

151
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: all right, let's all I know. I can bring like

152
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: the whole Brooklyn Nets basketball team here and we're gonna

153
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: have a good time or the Knicks.

154
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 3: It's not that from the Guardian.

155
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 10: So those relationships are relationships that you know, I've built

156
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 10: through probably the last twelve years. As you mentioned, when

157
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 10: I was afleep, that was before there was Instagram, before

158
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 10: there was Uber. So it was a different time in

159
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 10: night life, I think, you know, in hospitality where things

160
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 10: are a little bit more organic. And I used to

161
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 10: go out a lot more before before I had a family.

162
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 10: So you know, I would meet people at the restaurant,

163
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 10: then I would go to the club with them, and

164
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 10: then I would get introduced to new people at the club.

165
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: And that's work.

166
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: People don't look at that. They think you're just having fun. Yeah,

167
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: but that is work.

168
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, listen, I definitely had a lot of fun, but

169
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 10: it was work, you know, building the relationships, getting the

170
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 10: contact information, following up with people. And then I would

171
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 10: also get out on the road. I'd go to Vegas

172
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 10: for big events, Miami, La. You know, it could be

173
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 10: you know, NBA All Star Weekend, it could be you know,

174
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 10: the Grammys, the Oscars, the super Bowl. I was always

175
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 10: at those events, networking with different people.

176
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm talking to Dara and if you'd never

177
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: been to the famous restaurant, say less here in New

178
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: York City as well as the pop ups they've been

179
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: having around the world, then you are missing out. He's

180
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: the owner of that restaurant. You know, some people don't

181
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: like to have a hip hop crowd. How were you

182
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: able to see that vision and make people feel like

183
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: welcomed because some places people don't feel welcome.

184
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 10: I'm going to immigrant myself, so you know, I understand.

185
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 10: You know how sometimes people are wanted, sometimes people aren't wanted.

186
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 10: You know, you can't get the celebrity following without getting

187
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 10: the following that comes with the celebrity following. So you

188
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 10: just have to understand how to deal with the people.

189
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 10: We worry about having good people. It doesn't matter if

190
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 10: you're famous. If you're not a good person but you're famous,

191
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 10: we don't really show you love either. Like right, you know,

192
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 10: you got to be respectful to the staff. You got

193
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 10: to be respectful to the venue. Everyone that comes to

194
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 10: the restaurant they pay. We don't comp celebrities just to

195
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 10: get them to come to the restaurant. People genuinely come

196
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 10: there because they want to be there, right, and we

197
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 10: respect their privacy and try to treat people the way

198
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 10: you want to be treated. It's pretty simple formula.

199
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: And you've been doing a lot of pop ups lately,

200
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: So how instrumental has that been as far as in

201
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: promoting the restaurant and what made you guys decide, Okay,

202
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: we got to start doing these pop ups.

203
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 10: The pop up concept is very important to what we

204
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 10: do because it allows us to take our brand on

205
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 10: the road to a different market, and then it lets

206
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 10: us understand, like, you know, will our brand work well there?

207
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 10: We try to do it around events that there's a

208
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 10: high concentration of our clients already in the market. And

209
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 10: I think also the cuisine kind of caters towards that is,

210
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 10: where you know, Chinese food, you could cook it a

211
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 10: lot faster than a lot of other cuisines. But again,

212
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 10: you know, the customers are the ones that really dictate

213
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 10: where we go. And we'll be doing a lot more

214
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 10: pop ups over the next year, and then obviously the

215
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 10: long term goal is to open up new locations.

216
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: Do you know where yet?

217
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 10: Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Vegas, La. Those are big markets where

218
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 10: a lot of our clients are from.

242
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: deep dive for you because I know you so well

243
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,720

00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: As how can you actually meet some quality, good single

245
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: women who you could settle down with instead of what

246
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: you've been chasing and.

247
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 7: What I've been chasing. Let's get that, let's throw that out.

248
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: You've been chasing fun fun. Yeah, but they're calling up

249
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: right now? What are they chasing? Okay? And they are

250
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: going to continue to call out.

251
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: But I want to think about the places where you're

252
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: meeting women, right and where meeting you? Tell me, I'm

253
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: asking you, where are the places that you meet women?

254
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 7: I'm meeting women at church?

255
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: What church? You're gonna lie about church every now and then?

256
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 3: So you've met women at church? Now and then I

257
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 3: will pull up at a church just to meet women.

258
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: No, okay, it's like WHOA, absolutely not, We'll go to

259
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: church together.

260
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: You know.

261
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: I want to see how you come to.

262
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 6: Happen to be women there?

263
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: Where else where do you go to meet women? Outside?

264
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: Outside is such a broad term because all I'm thinking

265
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: about is I'm outside.

266
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: We outside? So that's what you want? A woman who's outside? No, no, no,

267
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: maybe like Chelsea house or something. Okay, all right, So

268
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: this is what I think you need to do.

269
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: I think you need to stop doing the same regular

270
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: routines that you always have because you're not going to

271
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: meet anybody, You're going to see the same people all

272
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: the time being around. So, for instance, have you ever volunteered,

273
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: did volunteer work? Like what, I think we should do

274
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: some volunteer work, you know.

275
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: Maybe we could.

276
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 6: I've done that.

277
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, but.

278
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: Let's make that part of women people who also want

279
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: to help. Oh nice, yeah, you know, I think also

280
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: going to some coffee shops. You've never had coffee, but

281
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: I have one called coffee uplifts people.

282
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: And there's always women in the coffee shop.

Speaker 3: What's up? His way up with Angela?

317
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: Ye I'm Angela yee, and Mano is here with me

318
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: and an award winning advice giver.

319
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: So let's see your work. We got Yeasy on the

320
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: line today. What's up? Yeasy?

321
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: Hey?

322
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 9: So, I have been in a domestic relationship for the

323
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 9: past six years and he doesn't really do much, but

324
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 9: we get into fights all the time. He came to

325
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 9: my house at four in the morning about a threesome

326
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 9: broke my nose, dusted my lips, and decided to say

327
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 9: that he wants to get for my friend while my

328
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 9: friend was there. But I will talk it to the police,

329
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 9: and so then I want to claim full custody in

330
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 9: my kids. There's no reason for you to see them.

331
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 9: But everybody's saying I'm being petty and being a bitter

332
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 9: baby mom.

333
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: Safety is the first major concern.

334
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Have you gone to court when it comes to custody?

335
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: And do you have a restraining order?

336
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 9: I do have a restraining order.

337
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: Why do you feel like you can't get away.

338
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 9: Because the type of people that they are so to me,

339
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 9: it was more of a being scared type thing. But

340
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 9: I'm to the point now where I'm tired of being scared.

341
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: If you feel like he could potentially harm the children

342
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: or harm you again, you have to stay away from him.

343
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: And he needs to be requested required to get some

344
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: help for himself in order for him to ever be

345
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: a productive human being, let alone a good father. He's

346
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: got to go through some programming. If he wants to

347
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: see his kids, it would have to be in a

348
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: situation where you know there's some type of guardian that's

349
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: there watching everything.

350
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 3: Because the court will put all of that into place.

351
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: And I know some people are very hesitant to get

352
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 2: the court involved because once they're there, it can provide a.

353
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: Lot of roadblocks.

354
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: But it feels like in this particular situation you need it.

355
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: And it is hard to keep a father from their kids.

356
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: But if the safety is the main concern, and you know,

357
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: sometimes you need a mediator. Obviously, you guys can't figure

358
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: this out amongst each other. You shouldn't even be talking

359
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: to him, you know, without the courts intervening. And there's

360
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: also apps where you guys can when you have conversations

361
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: with each other, that will be recorded and that will

362
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: be on public records so that everybody can see what's happening,

363
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: so you don't have to communicate with him in any

364
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: way outside of that. But I think that it's time

365
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: for you to get somebody else to come in between this.

366
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: You already have the restraining order. This is literally like

367
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: your life on the line.

368
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: You okay, I appreciate it.

369
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a lot. It's emotional because I get tired

370
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 9: of seeing my kids seeing me cry just a lot.

371
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, babe.

372
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: I really really want you to just handle this and

373
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: you know what will make you feel better, taking those

374
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: steps that you need to take to get everything back

375
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: in order to take care of your kids, to take

376
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: care of you. And it's okay for you to be crying,

377
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: to be upset. It's normal. You went through a lot

378
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: emotionally physically. But let's start today. You don't need nobody

379
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: else to agree with what you got going on and

380
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: what you have to do.

381
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: You know what you need to do right.

382
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 7: You got to live for you and your kids. Don't

383
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 7: worry about what nobody else has to say.

384
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,160

412
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: and Special Assistant to the President. So and this is

413
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: something that Joe Biden actually implemented last year, right.

414
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we about six months in right at this point,

415
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 7: so excited to be here.

416
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: All right.

417
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: And Beanie Ciegull, so now you are also working on

418
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: this gun prevention campaign, and so tell me how this

419
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: all happened, because I want to see what the synergy

420
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: is how this all started.

421
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 6: So beans was trying to shoot me one day on

422
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: the camera.

423
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 3: Guys, Yeah, with a camp.

424
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 8: I think it just was destinedy. I know, I didn't

425
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 8: want to just be an artist, and that was just

426
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 8: the end of my legacy. When me see the rapper.

427
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: If there's somebody I'm gonna listen to when it comes

428
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: to this, it's Beanie Segull.

429
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, you.

430
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: Know, because I think it's also important to meet people

431
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 2: where they're at and for them to understand why gun

432
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: prevention is such an important topic for us to be

433
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: discussing because it has gotten very political.

434
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm gonna throw it to you. Gregory

435
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: Jackson Junior.

436
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: You know, because you are working with the White House

437
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: and this is a new position. Like you said, it's

438
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: only a six month old position. So tell me how

439
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: you ended up getting involved in why you were tapped

440
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: to be part of this initiative.

441
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 7: For me, it started when I was shot in April

442
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 7: twenty thirteen. It nearly cost me my life. But when

443
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 7: I was in the hospital, I'll never forget turned on

444
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 7: the TV and watching leaders in Washington saying they couldn't

445
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 7: take action because I was shot three days after the

446
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 7: Senate failed to pass the background check book. You know,

447
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 7: I went through six different surgery, six months of recovery,

448
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 7: but was committed that if I got back on my feet,

449
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 7: I would literally do all I can in this work.

450
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 7: And so that's where I pivoted. Started working at the

451
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 7: congressional level to push forward bills. We passed the first

452
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 7: bill on gun violence in twenty nine years. And when

453
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 7: President Biden was elected day one, I was on the

454
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 7: horn with his team, Erica and I did a big

455
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 7: call with a bunch of other activists that first week

456
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 7: and said, here's what we need to see done. And

457
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 7: of those requests, nearly all of them have been advanced,

458
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 7: but the biggest one was that you needed that We

459
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 7: needed them to have a team to work on this

460
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 7: every day because gun violence happens every day. It's not

461
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 7: just about mass shootings, it's about our folks had to

462
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 7: impact it every day. And so that team was assembled

463
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 7: and they turned around and said, well, Greg, we want

464
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 7: you to serve on it and Erica advice on it.

465
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 7: So so we're here, And that's how I got.

466
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: Started, right and the Beanie Siegull you had this story.

467
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: I remember when you got shot and that was in

468
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: the news and people were not sure.

469
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, I heard I died and all that I'm at

470
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 8: a point right now where you know I had to

471
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 8: back up from the industry. I'm there to be on

472
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 8: the ground with Arika.

473
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 6: But when Beans got shot and almost died, what help

474
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: did he get? What therapeutic help did he get? Greg

475
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 6: and the White House when he got shot, what help

476
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 6: did he get?

477
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: Right?

478
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: None?

479
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 6: They didn't get none. Then when those trauma and pain

480
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 6: that they have grows in them and it impacts their decisions,

481
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 6: we blamed their decision, not the system that created where

482
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 6: the decision came from.

483
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Erica Ford is here, the founder of

Speaker 4: Of the lingos to famous women in radio audio. We're

494
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: why we have Gregory Jackson Jr.

495
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 3: Here Today.

496
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: He's the Deputy director of the the White House Office

497
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: of Gun Violence prevention. We also have the founder of

498
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: Life Camp, Erka Ford, in the building as well as

499
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: Beanie Siegel, who is also now working with Life Camp.

500
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: So what are some things that are being done and

501
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: how can we support that?

502
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 7: The first Executive Award on April eight, we moved forward

503
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 7: the first series of executive actions on gun violence. It

504
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 7: focused on programs for community violence intervention programs like life Camp.

505
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 7: How do we get more dollars? Opened up ten billion

506
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 7: dollars for programs like life Camp, and before that there

507
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 7: were zero dollars federally, so we went from zero to

508
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 7: ten billion dollars in the first few months. That also

509
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 7: included resources for youth that have been impacted by violence,

510
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 7: for folks coming home from prison. But thinking about how

511
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 7: do we provide resources for those who are most at

512
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 7: risk was the first step. But since then, we passed

513
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 7: the first bill on gun violence in twenty nine years,

514
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 7: the Bipartisan Save for Communities Act, and that created the

515
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 7: nine to eight eight Suicide Lifeline. It included investments for

516
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 7: fourteen thousand school based mental health professionals. That's a thirty

517
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 7: five percent increase. We turned gun trafficking to a federal offense.

518
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 7: We've already prosecuted over three hundred traffickers. We shut down

519
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty two gun doors that were breaking

520
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 7: laws and violating the law in order to sell guns

521
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 7: to youth and other folks who frankly will prohibited. But

522
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 7: we also looked at how do we get upstream and

523
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 7: make sure that we're not just cracking down on our

524
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 7: youth and that young brother who maybe has a gun

525
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 7: to protect themselves. But how do we hold the dealers accountable,

526
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 7: the manufacturers accountable. We put two ghost gun companies out

527
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 7: of business right so we're thinking about how do we

528
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 7: hold the whole industry accountable while moving literally billions of

529
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 7: resources into life saving programs.

530
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm talking to founder of Life Camp Erica Ford,

531
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: alongside Hip Hop Royalty Beanie Siegel, and Gregory Jackson Junior,

532
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: the Deputy Director of the White House Office of Gun

533
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: Violence Prevention.

534
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 6: You know, we have a national platform. It's called the

535
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: Black and Brown Peace Coalition, and so folks can text

536
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: fund Peace to five to one five five and just

537
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 6: be part of our national team. You know, if they

538
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 6: an organization in a different city. We bring people together

539
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 6: in the ecosystem to help get part of this money

540
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 6: that Greg was talking about in the different cities, or

541
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 6: just get access to you know, we just did Gaming

542
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 6: for Peace. A young kid in Georgia won fifteen thousand

543
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 6: dollars right just playing video games, because we want to

544
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 6: meet them where they're at. Doing gun Violence Awareness Month

545
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 6: in June, We're going to be doing the Gaming for

546
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 6: Peace again because we want to get to that population

547
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 6: that feels that they don't have hope. There's no reason

548
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 6: to vote, there's no reason to do the right thing

549
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 6: because everything points to negative. They don't know how to

550
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 6: talk their friends off the ledge or their girlfriend or

551
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 6: they son, you know, and they're having problems like we

552
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 6: want to bring folks together to show them that there

553
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 6: is access to hope and there is a way to

554
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 6: change your life. And one of the things that I'm

555
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 6: going to be doing now is sharing the wisdom that

556
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 6: I've learned over the last thirty six years and teaching

557
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 6: and working with people and mentoring people on how to

558
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 6: succeed in this field and how to grow whatever it

559
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 6: is you're trying to do, and connect the people to

560
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 6: the right things and bring people like you and other

561
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 6: folks to the ground so that we can prosper off

562
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: of our collective reach and really change your conditions of

563
