Hi I'm Kim Morton from JPMorgan Chase and today we're live from the Robin Hood

Investors Conference in New York City. For 26 years J.P. Morgan and the Robin

Hood Investors Foundation have partnered together to help improve the lives of

struggling New Yorkers. The Robin Hood Investors Conference brings together the

best and brightest ideas to have actionable insights about investment

ideas, but the best part is that 100 percent of ticket sales go to helping

fight poverty in New York City. Since its inception the conference has raised

nearly 25 million dollars for the cause and today we're joined by the captain

the ship, CEO Wes Moore. Wes, thanks for joining us. My pleasure, thank you so much.

Thank you. So Wes, start us off we're here for two days we're talking big ideas

investment what are you most excited to see at the conference this year? Well I

think there's a there's a lot of panels that I'm really excited about and

thinking about the work that J.P. Morgan has done with Robin Hood for years on

this has just been remarkable but I'm really also excited to see about how the

larger markets are going to impact our local communities. You know later on

today we're gonna have a conversation between Stephanie Ruhle, who is also a

member of our Leadership Council, and also Mohamed El-Erian who is going to

talk about global markets and more and the thing that I'm really excited about

that conversation is is an understanding that what's happening in the global

markets is going to have a direct impact on Robin Hood, our work, and our

communities and vice versa, that we live in a completely interconnected

environment and I think that conversation along with so many other

conversations really highlight the fact that none of us are living in our own

bubbles, that everything that we do has implications and positive and negative

consequences on the communities that we call home. Absolutely and speaking of not

living in our own bubbles and kind of the ripple effect of how we can all

impact each other I know that one thing I love is that you also support Robin

Hood supports organizations that through fellowships, grants, workshops. How do you

choose some of the people that you work with? Yeah so I mean one of the great

things that I love about the Robin Hood model is the idea that Robin Hood will both

find, identify, fund and even create organizations all throughout the city

that are impacting New Yorkers living in poverty but that also then have a larger

impact on the larger poverty fighting community as a whole. So in addition to

finding and funding the best organizations we also will make sure

that we're providing more than just financial support to organizations. I

think about programs like our Catalyst program where we identify early-stage

ideas things that that might be a little bit riskier but have a chance of truly

revolutionising the way we think about the work and the way we can fight

poverty organize a and find it and not only provide them with grant support but

then also provide them with operational support provide them with supports

things like no board build and also finding other philanthropic partners

within this space and so we've watched how individual organizations can come to

Robin Hood sometimes small sometimes nascent sometimes even with an unproven

idea but an exciting idea but then providing not just the financial support

but also the other secondary and tertiary supports to help them build and

grow they've been able to make a remarkable impact on the larger

community in which they're trying to in which you're working with so I know the

impact has been great I just I want to take it back to the mission of Robin

Hood is to improve the living standard of over 1.5 million low-income New

Yorkers so what does that what does that mean to you personally you know what one

of the things I've loved about this organization and the evolution of the

organization is that Robin Hood is also very clear that our job is to not is not

to make poverty easier you know our job is to make is not to make poverty more

tolerable for those who are living in poverty but our job our job is to work

to make sure that we are sustainably moving families out of poverty

poverty is not something to be to be tolerated probably something that we

want to help as many families as possible escape out of and I think about

it and not just the the countless families of Robin Hood has worked with

throughout its years I think about the fact that it's my own family the

neighborhood that I grew up in in the Bronx was one of the first neighborhoods

that Robin Hood invested in when Robin Hood is making these

investments they weren't trying to make my family situation a little bit softer

what they were saying was we think there's an opportunity to actually move

this family out permanently sustainably and that's where I think this evolution

and why this mission is not just so personal to me and so many other people

in the Robin Hood community in Gotham ecosystem but why the evolution of a

mission of saying we want to we want to lift New York City households out of

poverty measurably and sustainably and that's how we think all of our think

about all of our grant-making and all of our non grand making abilities

absolutely and one of the ways I know that you all have been exploring

reaching even more of those people and one of the the big ideas we're talking

about today is technology right so I know that in 2014

Robin Hood started Blue Ridge labs speaking of creating organizations it's

a social impact tech incubator can you tell us about the fellowship and the

catalyst program and why they were created absolutely so so Blue Ridge is

also really built and created through Robin Hood but at the the leadership of

one of our board members a gentleman John Griffin who had had his fun Blue

Ridge Fund and was really looking at this idea of saying you know technology

has changed so many lives it's changed the way we communicate it's changed the

way we move it changed the way we live but it has not yet impacted those who

are the most vulnerable in our society so how can we use technology to do that

how can we use technology in order to enlarge him and and and create a bigger

broader conversation about what it means to fight poverty and so that was the

birth of Blue Ridge where it's basically taking a collection of computer

engineers and computer scientists and saying what about if we were to take our

talents and actually focus it towards the poverty fight and so we think about

platforms that have been built out of Blue Ridge a platform you know call

propel fresh EBT which was really started by a guy named Jimmy who was one

of the founders of Facebook groups and he was at Facebook groups for a while

and he made Facebook groups money and then said you know what's the next

challenge that I want to take on and he noticed how many people who receive

benefits that there was a dynamic that around twenty one days into the month

for people who receive benefits their benefits run out and so his question was

what happens the last 10 days of the month for that family for that for those

parents those guardians and created this platform that actually helps people to

not just be able to better access benefits but better manage benefits

finding deals discounts helping them to eat better Robin Hood rules were first

platform was the first platform that invested in it but now his investor pool

includes people like Anderson Horowitz and other larger investors yeah you know

how can we use technology in order to solve everyday challenges and problems

that communities that are the most vulnerable are facing and saying that

there's a way we can have a collective conversation about it and using tools

that are unique now that might not have been there before but we can use them

now to better create a level of sustainable mobility and it's just

growing and growing like you said there's a larger investor pool now we've

got a lot of folks here today continuing to help the cause so what's what's next

what's next for the organization I think the big thing for the organization is we

are going to continue to flex every available muscle that we have in order

to fight poverty you know just earlier on today you know we announced a

partnership between salesforce.com the Lumina Foundation and Robin Hood where

we're going to actually push out a larger in impact investing platform

using the skills and the tools of Robin Hood about how we measure impact how we

use data and metrics and every single investment you make and then thinking

about so then how can you make impact investments on B corporations and also

private platforms that are not just gaining capital and gaining alpha but

then they're also then solving something that is a societal problem how do we how

are we going to rethink the role that import and export plays where Robin Hood

is born and bred and built in New York and it's built to serve New Yorkers but

we also understand that poverty is not a New York issue alone now and so by being

able to use our thought leadership by being able to export the best platforms

and import the things that we're seeing around the country that are working is

really the direction that we're thinking as a larger organization about how can

we use every tool at our disposal in order to fight this larger problem I'm

excited to see it I'm excited to see that come to fruition I'm excited about

that partnership and to see how that goes so I have one more question

you got to get back to the conference one more question alright so you know

I've got $10 in my purse I've got a free hour this weekend what's one thing I can

do right now that can help poverty how fight poverty I think the most important

thing for everybody is to truly internalize what is that issue that

makes your heart beat faster you know whether that issue happens to be poverty

or education or criminal justice reform or the environment or veterans find that

issue that you are basically saying I would give it all up if it meant that I

could address this fundamental issue and then once you do that be able to find

the best organizations that do that work because for all of us for every single

one of us you know the capital is incredibly important it's our life fuel

it's a thing that that we and we always say we will be the most responsible

steward of that dollar but at the same time we also understand that

philanthropy alone is not going to address it so people's time people's

intellectual capital people's thoughtfulness their volunteer time or

simply at times it's contacting a legislator or contacting your neighbor

things like this or all the type of elements that we need in this larger

fight because as we as we know clearly our goal is to make this problem smaller.

So you heard it folks, I mean, what is your passion, go out make that change

happen. Thank you for joining us today Wes, thank you so much for your time, and

thanks everyone who tuned in. You can follow us on social media to learn more

about the conference.

Piers Morgan Lectures Americans: "Consider Giving Up Your Guns" - Duration: 5:51.

There is nothing like a mass shooting committed by a deranged lunatic that gets all of the

anti-gun activists crawling out of the woodwork, and they are doing exactly that after Saturday's

tragedy in Pittsburgh.

Never mind the eleven people who were gunned down in cold blood at the Tree Of Life Synagogue

or those who will suffer long-lasting trauma from being in the building when a lone wolf

domestic terrorist went on his killing spree.

They don't matter to the cynics when there is political hay to be made and that is especially

the case when there's only a week to go until election time.

As soon as the news of the massacre broke, the political left, celebrities, and media

figures were tripping over each other to blame it all on President Donald Trump as well as

to renew their calls to disarm millions of law-abiding citizens.

One of them is British gadfly Piers Morgan, who often doesn't miss a chance to exploit

a tragedy and suffering families to climb up on his soapbox and lecture Americans from

across the pond.

Morgan's typically obnoxious demeanor was evident when he tweeted:

Morgan also penned a column for the Daily Mail entitled "Stop being such a cowardly

tool of the gun lobby, Mr. President, and ban the AR-15, America's worst weapon of

mass destruction":

The reasons for the massacres differ from incident to incident.

They can be connected to all manner of things including mental illness, drugs, violent video

games, social rejection, or as saw in Pittsburgh, pure bigotry, racism and hateful intolerance.

But the unarguable common denominator is guns.

And in recent years, there is a more specific commonality to the type of gun mass shooters

use: the AR-15, military style semi-automatic rifle.

In this era of fake news, let me give you some cold, hard facts:

Half of America's worst-ever mass shootings have come in the past 14 years.

And almost every single one has involved AR-15s.

Morgan then goes on to invoke several of the names of the most infamous lunatics who have

run amok and led into the meat of his piece:

On Saturday morning, Pittsburgh shooter Robert Bowers was armed with an AR-15 when he killed

11 people.

This is not a coincidence.

The reason why all these shooters used an AR-15 is simple: they're light, easy to

use, and specifically designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest possible

time, and in the most appallingly devastating way.

After the Parkland massacre, Rolling Stone magazine published a feature about the AR-15.

It began like this: 'The AR-15 assault rifle was engineered to create what one of its designers

called 'maximum wound effect'.

Its tiny bullets – needle-nosed and weighing less than four grams – travel nearly three

times the speed of sound.

As the bullet strikes the body, the payload of kinetic energy rips open a cavity inside

the flesh – essentially inert space – which collapses back on itself, destroying inelastic

tissue, including nerves, blood vessels and vital organs.

"It's a perfect killing machine," said Dr Peter Rhee, a leading trauma surgeon.

In his fervor to use the AR-15 as a bludgeon for his case to begin the process of gun confiscation,

he omits the fact that the synagogue shooter, as well as many others, also relied on handguns

to carry out their murders.

Like his liberal counterparts in the U.S.A., the queen's loyal subject targeted the popular

AR-15. which contrary to the talking points from the gun grabbers, isn't the preferred

weapon of mass shooters.

That dubious honor goes to the handgun which according to a study by the nonpartisan Rockefeller

Institute of Government was far and away the most commonly used weapon.

To this day, the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history is the 2007 Virginia Tech

massacre where the killer ended the lives of 32 people by using handguns.

There is, of course, the mysterious 2017 Las Vegas shooting where the killer did use AR-15s

to open fire on a crowded concert from his suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort.

But over a year later, there are still few details that have been divulged by the authorities

on either the shooter or his motive and the feds aren't talking.

hat atrocity has been flushed down the memory hole because there is nothing like warm bodies

that get the outrage mob fired up.

Morgan can wag his finger at President Trump and Americans in general from across the pond

but Jolly Old England seems to have its own murder problem despite their Draconian restrictions

on firearms.

How about examining the real reason for these sort of slaughters?

Both mental health and an entertainment industry that has established the idea in the minds

of the impressionable young that gun violence isn't only an acceptable remedy for the

resolution of disputes but is also cool need to be a key part of any debate on such shootings

but that is the last thing that the left wants to happen considering the importance of Hollywood

to their political existence.

By blaming the AR-15, the NRA, and President Trump instead of the sick individuals who

carried out these terrible acts, it keeps the spotlight off of the real culprits and

the mental illness that is the real common thread with the shooters who have all been

insane.
