Jon Bon Jovi's interview on CNBC - Part 3 (3 parts)

we are here in the kitchen kitchen maybe we could dry what you are preparing this is my station this week this I wash the dishes here here the most famous dishwasher there in the world today when so many people need it many times people's fears come into play and John brings out compassion, hope, what's possible and just bringing a lot more people to the table to address these really serious and challenging issues. Who are you a member of the White House Council for Community Solutions? What does that role mean? I am very happy to We were asked to be on the council and our mission was disenfranchised and poorly educated youth ages 16 to 24 looking for job opportunities.

You said you could do more as a philanthropist, so you apologize, that's true, politics is a very difficult business. Mine is a very fast business in comparison I don't have the skin for it I don't feel like doing it I do feel like you know if you're passionate about something in the private sector it's easier to raise funds for it it's easier to be specific about something it's very difficult and me and I applaud those who do it for the right reasons in politics you wouldn't be tempted to do it no, one time someone asked me I was with President Clinton and we were traveling somewhere and the gentleman asked me whose job was better the yours or yours and I said: can I respond?

The president says yes, you can. I say mine. He says why did I say because I have to keep the house and plane. That's exactly what he said. He has a good sense of humor. but it was all a plane in a big house while it lasted eight years of that plane in that house should be enough for any human being how is it possible for a president of the United States and rocks to meet and form a friendship? Well, you already know. I look old and gray. I wasn't always one and I love rock and roll music and John Bongiovi agreed to perform for me.

He supported me. Every American knows Bon Jovi and knows his music. They have been great friends of Hillary and me for a long time. There is a reason why he has been so successful for many years, he has a great voice, he has a great stage presence, he makes good music and he also has a big heart, and I'm glad that someone finally realizes that he knows himself less about his philanthropic work. It surprises you and why do you feel that? I think for him he's just doing what he should do and what he wants to do and I really don't think he gives a damn, he gets some credit for not oh he's a really normal person with a wonderful family who happens to be stunningly handsome and has a fabulous voice and mind for music and promoting it, but he still has a lifetime here that very few people have been able to make with the level of success that he has enjoyed, and

part

of that lifetime is his philanthropy.

I don't think he ever thought about how important it is to have credit, to get credit for it or not. Hello, I think he should do it because I think he will inspire other people to follow his example. Hello Marie. Nice to meet you I'm Tania, what does it mean to you? How has your life changed? Well the community right now is still on the rise of course we still have a lot of work to do as owners we all need to come together. and build our community and it takes time but we have to start somewhere it's a shining example and also the every chive system I mean honestly the system and I have to cut my head off and what I love so much is the star of rock and the night. when he became involved with Sister Mary, when he realized that he could actually help create opportunities to save families, give children a different start, and do it with something that needs to be done anyway, which is rebuilding the entire structure of existing homes and starts his foundation saying I'm going to fix these 15 houses, you know, it was so bon

jovi

, it was like I didn't want my name to appear on every house, but this is something we should be able to do, it must have changed your life. so much water to have your own yes yes it has some tears because they were just happy tears it just feels good you can have something you can call your own where you know you're not going anywhere what does that mean? to your self-esteem it makes me feel like I'm good to see you see that even though you think that neighbor would have known who I was otherwise they know it now did they take care of you here you know that I'm

part

of this culture and that's a beautiful thing for me, John, the Philanthropist, you are driven, it is your passion, yes, absolutely.

I think I've been much more passionate about talking to you about it than about my job or God, because it's made you who you are. are and that passion is why who cares everyone oh your legions hundreds of billions of fun only to the extent that you know that's what I do it's what I am you know that I saw I can't keep reiterating that who cares you feel like this will take up time in your day oh no I'm not writing a record I'm very happy with it it's static but you know that's what I do well bye thank you for more information on Jon Bon Jovi soul foundation please visit your website
