As I talk to my gang members, January 1st, the conversation stops. You won't shoot up my city. You won't stab young people in school. You won't sell drugs and guns on my street. I am extending an opportunity to get out of gangs and get in a job, get into school, become gainfully employed. We are not going to just talk about safety. We're going to have safety in our city. If we do these things, then New Yorkers will be able to fulfill their dreams. (23:43–23:53)
