  Speaker 5: My dog, Greg Jackson, you know what I'm saying, President
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: of the Rocket Foundation. I'm lett him break it down
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: on how he, you know, started and came here and
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: with me.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about your background, too, great,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: because we ran across past.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: What year was that, Yeah, White House?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: When I came into the White House, because I worked
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: with the group Advanced Piece, Advanced Peace. Forgive me, we're
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: out there in California. But yeah, tell us how you started,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: where you started with the Biden administration, and how you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: moved your way with Cuevo.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Well, my work on this issue started in April twenty thirteen.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I was leaving the club with my cousins and just
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: like so many moments, we got caught in the middle
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: of across fire.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Bullets rang out and I was hit.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: The bullet hit me, hit two arteries, nearly cost my life,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: and I got within thirty minutes of dying from blood
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: loss and went through six surgeries six months of recovery.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: But in that moment, I just kept telling myself, if
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: I could ever get back on my feet, like, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: want to do everything I can to make sure no
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: one else goes through what I went through. And since
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: then unfortunately, I've lost a couple mintees and a few
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: friends to gun violence. It's just a huge issue that
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: keeps raging forward. But I've been an outspoken activist for
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: now over twelve years, fought to pass policy in Washington,
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: d C. We passed the first bill in thirty years
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: on gun violence, the Bipartis Is Safe for Communities Act.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: And then shortly after that I met Kwavo, and you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: unfortunately through tragedy, but he was determined to make it triumph,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: you know, and to make it make sure that there's
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: power in the loss that happened.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: And we went to the White House. He went to
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: the White House, sat down with the Vice.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: President, We met with members of Congress and said, hey,
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: we need a team that can help address this issue
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: every day. And President Biden and Vice President Harris answer
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: and created the first ever White House Office of Gun
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Violence Prevention in twenty twenty three. I don't know if
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: it was you that did it, but I got hired
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: and so I was a deputy director there for about
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: a year and a half, and in that job, we
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: moved forty two billion dollars into gun violence prevention. We
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: did fifty four executive actions, and we fully implemented that
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: big law that made gun trafficking and federal offense that
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: added more money for victims of violence and really added
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: more resources for mental health and youth programs and a
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: lot of the programs that now the Rocket Foundation is
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: working with. And so it's been the honor of my
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: life to serve in the White House. And you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: I just thank God every day that he got me
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: out of that hospital bed.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: So what is the goal?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And you guys can take terms kind of telling what
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is the goal of this, because I know we're gonna
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: talk a little bit later on the panel, but you're
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: kind of setting up a situation where people can get
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a hold of you, a coalition of athletes and entertainers
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and ecosystem where people having issues with with with with
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: gun violent taking call you up and you got boots
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: on the ground. Explain to us a little bit more
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: about that situation.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Right we just like you said, it it goes around
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: the world. You know what I'm saying. It happens every day,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: It happens in all cities. Man, I'm pretty sure y'all
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: background y'all had to you know what I'm saying, Seeing
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: it or been in it, and so we just you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: kind of becoming those those big bros and those those
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: those leaders who just like you can get on the
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: phone and and and and figure something out instead of
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: going retaliate, retaliating in the streets and being like doing
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: it the wrong way. It's like we we need to
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: go to the big way. We need to go to
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: the White House. We need to you know, try to
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: change some laws. We need to link up together and
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: get frontline and really like and go hard about this.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Cause you see, like other family members and theyvey won't
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: like change, They won't like they want some to be done.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: And you just can't, you know what I'm saying. You
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: can't just lead a house and just crash out all
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: the time. So like I feel like I had to
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: put like my patience, my time, my heart, even even
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: my ego. I had to sit aside, you know what
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. It's hard every time I do to these summings,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: I feel like like one I was there, This's my nephew,
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: so I'm always like supposed to take care of him
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: and bring him home at in any situation. So starting
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: from like I said, starting from this in the foundation
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: is just it's the only way I think I know
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: right now, and and I'm just looking for Like, I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I wanna be that vessel. I wanna be that answer.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I wanna be that guy that you can call on
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: that's been through it too. So that's that's what I'm
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: at with, you know what I mean, I'm I.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Wanna say this like I think it's I think it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: a beautiful thing. Cause like even with my situation with
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: George Sayd, like if I knew I had a group
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: of people already sat in place where I know I
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: can call and I already got a teen together where
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I know I can move with. What you're doing is
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: very beneficial, bro, cause instead of having to get up
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: and find people that that's like minded, that want that,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: that care about it, you already have that. So when
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: it's time to move, y'all already moving one time. That's
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: a beautiful thing. Bro. I gotta salute you fortreciation, right.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: We we know not to cut you off.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: We know that obviously having someone as big as Quavo
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and and him using his celebrity and his money and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: his platform policy is what really moves the th the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: needle and that's a space that that that you've been in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: How important it is teaming up with someone like him
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and then also moving on the policy side as well
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to see actual change.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's the policy, but it's also the resources, right,
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Like what Cuevo described and what Steam described, man is
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: having those big bros to go to. There are thousands
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: of organizations across the country that are doing this work.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: You know, Safe Streets in Baltimore, Advanced Piece in La A, Detroit, Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Life CA, yep, Force Detroit, Life Camp in New York like, uh,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, every city has local organizations that are working
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: hard to do that hope hustlers here, right. But these organizations,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: most of them are underfunded. Most of them don't have
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: the you know, a big communications team and they're working
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: every day to connect with folks in these hard times,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: but they don't have the support. And that's what makes
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Rocket such a big deals because Quabo can shine a
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: light on these programs and strategies. You know, we've already
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: granted to over ten organizations here locally to help them
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: build their program, but more importantly tell the story of
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: how they're helping to save lives.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Because the last three years we've seen.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: The steepest declines and homicides in American history thirty one percent.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: And the big difference was not the big laws, it
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: was the resources going to the community groups and they
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: can expand and connect with more folks that are need right.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: And so we went from you know, small organizations that
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: didn't have resources to now they can get federal money,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: state money, city money. They're getting support from foundations, they're
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: getting support from corporations, and that's because we're able to
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: tell the story of how impactful they are. And I
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: think that is something huge. I mean even this year
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: in Atlanta, homicides or eleven percent, right, So we know
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: that if you pour into the community, and we know
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: access to guns is a big problem, but if you
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: pour into the community first, you can reduce violence by
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: so much. And that's where policy meets culture, right, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: policy meets.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: The voice, and then they and the way that we
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: can change the narrative. That's what That's one thing we
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: did go to a command. There's a loutderstanding. I understand
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: about policies and laws like it, but I did ask her,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: how can we get the money in the fund into
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: these real grass roops that we know that's doing the
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: right work, you know what I'm saying. I think that's
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: a big problem because they want to do things to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: help out, but you don't know the actually people that's
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: doing the word work because you're not in that you're
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: not in that situation, we know, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: So some kind of way, the people that's willing to
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: put the money in, they need to give them money
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: to the right people to get to these grass roups,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: organization that's doing the real work, and just just fairbody's awareness.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: The term that we we identify for these groups are
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: community violence Intervention Organizations or CBI and and these groups
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: are doing everything from street outreach. Some of them are
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: doing therapy with families, some are are providing behavior change approaches,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: but also coaching a football team right right, or working
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: with young folks in sports or different actions and and
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: they come in different styles, but at the end of
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: the day, they're focused on those who are most at
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: risk and just supporting them, you know, so that in
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: that tough moment of crisis, they don't have to turn
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: to a gun or turn to harm in somebody.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That's why I work with the group Advanced piece up
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and stocked in the Sacramento. They they talk to the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: people that are most likely to be sh doing the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: shootings or being shot like they have the ogs to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: get out of prison and come back and talk. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: we take them to games and raise funds and give
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: them different experiences because we could tell people, tip, we're
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: blue in the face, put down the guns.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: But what are we replacing the guns with?
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You gotta replace with opportunity, right, you know what I mean.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: So until we really start doing that, that's when we
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: start seeing change. So great, thank you for your time.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: We're gonna catch up with you a little bit later
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: on the panel, and man, you can catch the rest
• 9:55

  Speaker 2: here today at the College Football Hall of Fame.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Of course, I always played sports growing up. Quarterback came
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: real late to me. I wonder I didn't play quarterback
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: growing up. I played receiver, corner, a little bit of
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: tight end, and they would throw me at quarterback every
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: now and then, like sprinkle me in because I was
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: left hand and I was.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Just everybody left and I think they sweet, you know
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: So they and I had that like just that little
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: itching it and then ship like the first I want
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: to say, ninth grade, we lost one of my third quarterback.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I think he broke his collar bomb my other quarterback.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: He was game banging. He just went cross street, got suspended.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: And then they were just like doing tryouts in ninth grades,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: so like anybody come up there. So I seen I
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: seen my one of my buddies. He was a rob seef.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: He went down and he's like, I got it, don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: worry about I got He came down neck broke coming
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: back they like nah boom. So I was kind of
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: like I want to say last as I'm just like
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: fuck it, I do it. And when I went over there,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: jail natural it j click. And then ninth grade, I
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: think I played jav I got like most improved player
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: that year, and then like shit, the next year I
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: was I had to compete with a young nag. He
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: was His name was Zay Bridge. I'll never forget you, boy,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: you still fire. He like six six, crazy young, just
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: had it all, Like look him up top top to bottom,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: had it all and just like he went out there.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: But I think I don't think he was a quarterback.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I think he was like a safety or something. But
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: like anyway, he was a cold blooded over. He can
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: do anything he wanted to do on the field. So
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: I guess spring game he just ain't having him that
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: day he got them. They threw me out there first
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: player of the game. I threw a touchdown and.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: It was the first player the game.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll never forget it. We played Collins Hill.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: That's dope.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: What kind of influence did Mike Vick have on you
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: once you became a quarterback?
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Of course I would, and I'm gonna sell him. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: was big, was my favorite player. I felt like when
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: he left Atlanta, all the soul left alone. So it
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: was kind of hard for me to be a Falcons
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: fan again after that. But now I'm back.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you play any hoop or was just off football?
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: I played ball? I played Yeah, I played basketball. I
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: really was good at basketball.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Was like organized basketball.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: I played a little league growing up middle school, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: then when I got to high school, I couldn't never
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: like get over that spring progress support. I could never
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: get over it. Every time I every time I pulled up,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: I was feeling. So that's how how they would cut
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: me and then I get mad and then do all
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: spring sports. So I just to keep me like in
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: school and doing my work. I went to play baseball
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: for the first time and I played pitcher in left
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: field and ship. That's what kept me with my grades.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: When I was rolling over to basketball, I meant rolling
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: over to football and then ship after that right back again.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I'm feeling again. It was just like a like a
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: cycle bro like every DC. I couldn't catch that basketball
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: try out report card flip. So it just I was
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: just like, I'm just gonna be a spring football and
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: baseball guy. But I did it all though.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: The athlete mindset, that's something we talked to Kobe about.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: We recently talked to Ryan Coogler about about just how
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: do you change that mindset from sports to business and
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: your example of music, how to be an athlete help
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you transition into those spaces.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Most definitely socially, help you to learn how to be
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: a leader. You know what I'm saying, Take charge, control
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: the room, go through ups and downs. You know what
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, a lot of things don't go your way.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: You gotta be able to you know what I'm saying,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: stand in it and uh that's what I think in business.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: And then patience, patience, you know what I'm saying. You
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: won't a lot you even like when you're working out,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: you thinking that you can go get big tomorrow, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: you gotta you gotta stay at it. So like that football,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: sports communicate with you know what I'm saying, Having that coach,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: that father, figures, that big brother, it kind of like
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: shape you get you ready for the outside world. So
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: that's why I be trying to like tell kids, like
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: you should for show you like all three sports to
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: see whatever you wanted, you know what I'm saying, But

  Speaker 5: that one like if you doing one sport right now,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: you better know you going on the way and like
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: getting it together. But that's how I feel like it
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: shaped me.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: When did music surpass sports? As far as ma'am, this
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: maybe something I could do.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Shit.

• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: ultimate goal of the foundation.

• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: I don't want to say long live the Rocket and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: we just uh, we just I'm just looking to be
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: a vessel, you know what I'm saying to my family
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: and looking to prove and and and step with my
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: chest up and my head he head here high for

  Speaker 5: my my nephew, and just try to make change the

  Speaker 5: best way I can. And that being said, I want
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: to like commedorate all the guys that's in the community
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: that ever lost like someone doing gun violence. You got
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: somewhere to come to, You got somewhere to you know,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: talk to somebody, and you got some people that's gonna
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: pull up front line with you. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: So and that's us, that's Rocket Foundation.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Obviously, you being a superstar in this space, why was
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: it important to use your voice, your platform, your resources,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: you said you want to create a hub of your peers, rappers, athletes,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: to like to be able to use all of our
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: voices together to hopefully help with this gun violence. But
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: why was that just what was the key to that
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: and what was it like? Also on a two part
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: question going to the White House. Obviously you have a
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: huge platform, you speak your mind, you use your resources,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: but we know that to get real change it has
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: to be policy driven. You've been able to do that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: with your partner, Greg, But tell us a little bit
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: about that journey as well.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: It's a tough journey, you know what I'm saying. But
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: if you're gonna do something about it, you got to
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: start with the with the head. You got to start
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: at the top, so only and you can't go the
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: opposite where you can't go to the streetway. So I felt
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: like being frontline the political way and just trying to
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: get like change and policies and stuff going there, I
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: feel like was a better approach and I felt like
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: we got a lot of stuff done and a lot
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: of grants and stuff, but most importantly, like I'm just
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: here just being an instrument for my boy take.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: I'm definitely inspired by by what you're doing in the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: Rocket Foundation.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of y'all don't know that.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: George Floyd was like a close friend of mine, and
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: I was able to experience some things, and I was
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: able to lead the biggest civilis rights civil rights movement
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: ever in history, with eighteen countries in all fifty states
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: protests at the same time for my friend. So what
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: Quapo's doing is something that everybody should take serious because
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: you don't want to have to wait until you lose
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: somebody to stand up and do what's right right.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: So what Quapo's doing right now is bigger. It's bigger
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: than music.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: It's bigger than anything he's ever done because he's doing
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: something that's that that that that's bigger than him. So
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: y'all pay attention to this and not just what we're saying,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: but watching all of his actions and what he's doing.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: It's bigger than what we're talking. Okay, music, let's touch
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: it on a little music. Tell some of these kids
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: out here growing up who inspired you musically?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: Growing up? Who inspired me? Was a hot boy's cash money?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: Of course, that was like the foundation, you know what
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. And then once I got older, as like
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: a teenager, I started rocking out the futuristic way, you
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. I was burnt out by the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: young la, the Jay Moneys, you know what I'm saying,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: the polo world. So we had came up with a
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: group called Polo Club, you know what I'm saying, before
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: the Migos. So that was mainly my inspiration. Of course,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: Gucca man Tip Future, he was a little bit ahead
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: of us, and we would just look at them like
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: rock stars and we got to get there.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: Being that you from this area, you're from atl why
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: you think it's so important that you continue to be
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: involved with the youth and start these youth programs.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: Because it start with them, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: While you're in I'm a young rich you know what
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. So I got to give back to my guys,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: and it's important I give back to the youth, you
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. I got my school high school
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: football team.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: In here, which my cousin, my cousin coaches you know BYO.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: I got a huncho elite in here, some of them
• 1:04:10

• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: that that signed that hunch O sign that came from
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: hunch O Day. So it's important that I give back
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: and just sean that yeah, you can touch me even
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: though this get big, but we all come from nothing
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: and we need each other.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: But also talk to us about I mean we were
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: talking about in the back, these programs that you're putting on,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: these youth programs in the football space, the basketball space,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: the community events. That shit takes a lot. It's a
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: lot of hard work and it's tiring. And obviously they
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: just see the star you and moving around. But tell
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: to us a little bit about what the processes of
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: keeping these programs going and strong and getting kids opportunities.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: You'll tell us you got kids going to college now.
• 1:04:51

• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, how proud does that make you? And what
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: kind of work goes in behind that?
• 1:04:59

• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: was tough for me too. It's tough for me and Mama.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: I kind of like missed the miss the point where
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: we moved to going it to a situation we ain't
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: had no you know what I'm saying enough for me
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: to play. So I always just just looked at that like, Okay,

  Speaker 5: I got to be here for these kids and do
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 5: it for the youth, you know, do it for them.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Music obviously heavy sports background, but music became center stage.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Talk to us about you and takeoffs early, just back
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: and forth, musical passion, love and how gifted he was
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: and how you said he just had one of them
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: brains where he spoke everything into existence. He knew y'a
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: always gonna be stars when you guys are teenagers.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: Oh god, we was fourteen years old. It's a crazy story,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: but I think he was about fourteen. I had to
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: be like fifteen, seventeen, seventeen. I'm seventeen. Yeah, okay, I'm
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 5: three years old. I'm tripping, all right. So then we
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: get pulled over by the police and I'm the police asking.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: Him what he do.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: He said, I'm a rapper at fourteen old, and they
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: was joking about it, but he was dead serious. And
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: that when I knew he was gonna be something. But
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: at the same time, he used to be like, yeah,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: you can have that sports stuff. I'm gonna go to
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: the Boothman record And he always knew songs left and right.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. He always did everything in
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: one take. That's how he got his name Takeoff, you
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. Like we would do songs in
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: one flow. Sometimes I mess up, mess up the whole song.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: He not messing up here, not skipping a beat, walking,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: And I just think like he just the youngest in
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 5: a sponge and a student of the game and know
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: exactly what he wanted. He didn't have a plan beat,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: he didn't play sports, and he barely went to school,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: but he knew how to wrapt. Yeah, that's my bull racket.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: We was outside to stay in school.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: That's not good. Stay in school.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: We was talking to the outside about business and when
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: you know, we was talking about taking the guns and
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: guns down, and you was talking about you have to
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: put something in the hands. You was talking about building
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: the studio, showing them how to record. How important is
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: it to say one thing but also give them something
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: else to be positive and to go forward.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my dream. My dream goal is to like
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: put community centers the stuff that I had, Like back
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: then it was basketball and you know, after school programs.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: But now I'm thinking like bigger, like game systems, you
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, and streaming spots place you know
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Places where people can learn how to
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: make beats, places where people can play the piano, learn
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: take piano lessons, just some extracurricular after school, you know
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So my goal is to start start there,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: don't I do want to do the courts and stuff,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: but I think like kids got they route when they
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: comes to sports. I think like activities and learning how
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: to be you know, active in this world, in this
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: new streaming world, and you know, just doing classes like that.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: So that's my main goal right now that I want
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: to do for the youth.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm ready. I'm always dropping hiss every season, you
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So it ain't stay consistent, but
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: you know, I gotta stay consistent, and whether whether I'm
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: down or not, I still got to feed my people
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 5: and make sure I got to lift somebody else up
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: when they listen to my music. So I can't just
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 5: be super owned myself and just being in a shell.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: But like just the best I ever felt, and I
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: feel like it's going back to like the essence, but
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: I feel that power and I feel that the power
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: would take in the steward and I can hear them
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: coming through me out the songs and it's just feel
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: it feel like, and I got all the other stuff
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: out the way, and I can see clear. Sometimes you
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 5: got to get a lot of things out the way
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: to you know, to move forward and go to the
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: place you need to be. Young guys, you know, saying
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: some of your home was and stuff like that. Y'all
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: gotta figure stuff out. Sometimes you gotta do it by
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: yourself to go up through there. And then you ain't
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: leaving them. You just gonna come back and get them
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: and tell them this how I was trying to do it.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: If you didn't see the vision, So I feel like
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: this vision is going into this project Satimo, and I'm
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: on one.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: I want to talk to the youngsters that's here. I
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: just want to give y'all a quick message while we're here.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: I know we're talking to Quay and you know we're
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: here to honor the Rocket Foundation, But I want to
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: give y'all just just some advice because I wouldn't be
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: myself if I didn't one. Everything you need to be great,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: everything you need to be great successful is already in you, right,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: It's already in you. You don't need to look to
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: social media. You only need to look outside yourself. Are
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: the mirror for somebody to tell you great, for you
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: to believe it. When you wake up every morning, you
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: look in the mirror and tell yourself and believe you great.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: That's all the affirmation you need.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: When you looking for through social media and and everywhere,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: and you looking for advice, are positive stuff to look at.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: Be careful of what you look at on the internet,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: because everybody's not giving you positive advice, and everybody's not
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: leading you the right way. So be careful with what
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: you're watching, what you believe in, what you listen to,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: because it's a lot of people out here. We call
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: the blind leading the blind, and it's a lot of
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: people that don't want to see you ahead or see
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: you do better than them. So always believe in yourself
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: and believe that the competence you need to be great
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: is already in you, and you don't need nobody outside
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: that mirror to tell you great.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you overully.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: As you continue to push through for gun violence. Do
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: we see in maybe ten years you doing the next
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: ten years more political work. Obviously you have a huge voice,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: a huge platform. When people like you put their heart
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: and soul into projects like this, good things happen. With
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: the success of this gun violence campaign and mission and
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: foundation moving forward, can we expect more other projects in
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: a similar space.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 5: I'm just doing what God asked me to do. You
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, he driving, I'm just ryding so
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm here to just complete the mission. Like
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 5: I said, I just want to be connected and keep
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 5: my antennas you know, clear, so I can speak to
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: my guy and just make sure what it is he
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: wants me to do is just you know, push forward.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 5: But it ain't even my control. And if it's on
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: the desk and it's in front of me, I'm open
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: and I'm ready to do it.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: Love it.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: We're gonna take some questions now, anybody got any questions
• 1:14:29

• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: he said, I ain't done.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: Hold on, Yeah, and I like your h that little
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 7: studio you did with all set take off and uh so,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 7: y oh you you y'all are you wrapping in that studio?
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 7: Ye'ah me's with that, y'all?
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 5: Thank you, little bro. I appreciate you.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: Anybody else, anybody else? Gee, we got you on the move.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 8: Ge Hey, my name is Brianna. I went to come
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 8: up project and Sweet Soul. I'ma trying to form it
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: as a do you in the future, like see yourself
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 8: changing going more towards a message against anti gun violence
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 8: in your music, Like I feel like your voice, like
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 8: you said, like that's that's the biggest blessing that the
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 8: most I gave you. You know, the money came from that.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 8: So do you see yourself using the original blessing as
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 8: a way to also advocate for the exact thing that
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: the Rocket Foundation is doing.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I feel like it's a fifty to fifty
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: because I feel like I still got people around me
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: or what us came from nothing, still living that, still
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: going through that all the time every day. So it's
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 5: kind of like it's like I have to still let
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: these people know what's going on. If I just go
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 5: all the way left and don't let them know, then
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: they my guys won't be able to listen to me
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 5: about what's going on out here outside for real. So
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 5: I try to, like, I try to like, I try
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: to like split it. So I do I do records,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 5: and you know, I do like country records and records
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 5: with Atlanta and records with uh Luke Bryant, and I
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 5: try to like take it to another on a on
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 5: a country level, but like on an advocate side, I
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: don't feel like I haven't checked that box with a record,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: But I think I should do a few. I think
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: I think it'll work.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: It's a good question. Anybody else We got time for
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: a couple more.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 9: Hey, I'm Ashley Johnson. I am the founder of the
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 9: Street Widows Foundation. I'm from Louisville, Kentucky. But I lost
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: my husband February nineteen, twenty twenty in De Cab County.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 5: He was shot and killed at a gas station.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: I also want to raise up that he was the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 9: fourth person killed at that intersection in February of that year.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: My question is for U.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 9: Kwavo in your loss, when you had those feelings of vengeance,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 9: of wanting to get revenge for or street justice for
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 9: your loss, what did you do with that What did
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 9: you do with those feelings? I feel like a lot
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 9: of our kids deal with that. As a widow, I
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 9: dealt with that, and especially like with your platform, how
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 9: did you deal with those feelings?
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: I'm still going through that. You know, it ain't no
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: timing on that. You know, it ain't no timing on
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: any of that you just asked for. So sometimes you
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: could just be super patient and your revenger come or
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 5: through God, or your revenger come through triumph and politics.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: Your revenger come through going through the White House. Your
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 5: avenger come with passing these laws, changing lives in other kids' life.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 5: So like you just you just gotta just sit in
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: it and be ready for it. Your game's gonna come.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: I want to touch on that too. My brother was
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: killed when I was sick. My older brother was killed
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: when I was sixteen, and at that age I was
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: really in a difference. I'm a totally different person now,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: but what the people around me, who I provided for,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: who depended on me, forced me to not think that way.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: You know, So when you have responsibilities, when you have
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: people relying on you, then that that is especially as
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: a mother. I know you understand that you got other
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: people relying. It's easy for you to make the right
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: decisions and you're not being selfless. So I can see
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: you right now, I see you, a strong black woman.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: I see you, I see I know. It's a lot
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: of people that depend on you, and you got to
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: make those decisions for those people that depend on you.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: And it's okay to feel that way, you know what
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. So you okay, you know, so you just
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 5: it's gonna come.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: Trust me. Thank you. We have one last question here.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 10: My name is doctor Cynthia Willy and a grief and
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 10: trauma therapist. The biggest thing I kind of wish that
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 10: when we get in people get into this arena we
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 10: have so many youth around us, is just sharing that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 10: before they get to that anger spot which takes them
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 10: to want to pick the gun up. How important is
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 10: it that now that we've had to deal with that
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 10: loss for you all was devastating for you as a family,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 10: but even myself being a mother who's buried a child,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 10: finding that most people just don't talk about it enough
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: right and therapy is so definitely needed. But the biggest
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 10: thing is empowering everybody that touches the kid to make
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: sure they have the therapy so that the kid knows.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: How important it is for them to have it.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 10: How has the mental health factor changed for you, your mom,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 10: your sister, everybody has known. We followed the story for
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 10: so long, But are y'all really okay?
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know what I'm saying. We just we
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 5: going through it still. It's only the second year, you know,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 5: so it's still fresh, and every day is in it out,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 5: you know. You know, it's it's like we we damn
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 5: there something on these days like this, we really don't
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 5: even want to pull up, you feel me, because it's
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: not fun. It's not great talking about this, you know
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. It's kind of like I said, I
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 5: was there and this this is my nephew, and my
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 5: responsibility is to make sure we all get home. Ever
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: since I was a child, and it just couldn't happen
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 5: that way, And and I feel like when I come
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 5: up here, I don't like it, you know, at all.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 5: So I'm still I'm still in it. But like I said,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: like I'm not, I'm not I'm not driving, so I
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 5: can't be acting out on me. So I gotta act.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 5: I gotta act for the folks, and I gotta be
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: here for my for my for my sisters and my
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: my niece and my nephew and my mama. So and
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 5: I gotta maintain the house. So you're either gonna lose
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: it all and you're gonna act crazy, gonna go what
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, or you're gonna stand up
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 5: and be a man and just stay in it.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: We all right, Yeah, I think.
• 1:21:02

• 1:21:04
