00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:08.911
By a show of hands,
how many of you are pet lovers?

00:00:12.506 --> 00:00:14.845
How many of you are dog lovers?

00:00:14.875 --> 00:00:16.811
(Cheers)

00:00:17.644 --> 00:00:21.282
How many of you have had
a hard and frustrating day at the job

00:00:21.282 --> 00:00:23.588
and couldn't wait to get home?

00:00:24.290 --> 00:00:26.671
(Laughter)

00:00:28.594 --> 00:00:30.996
Putting your key in the door,

00:00:30.996 --> 00:00:33.835
you are greeted by your best friend

00:00:34.352 --> 00:00:37.857
with loving eyes
and a quizzical tilt of the head

00:00:37.857 --> 00:00:40.071
to discern your mood.

00:00:40.377 --> 00:00:44.391
Once your friend has determined
that you need cheering up,

00:00:44.392 --> 00:00:47.707
his tongue comes out,
he jumps up and down

00:00:47.707 --> 00:00:51.923
and wags his tail,
signaling that you are loved

00:00:51.923 --> 00:00:54.470
no matter what kind of day you've had.

00:00:55.626 --> 00:00:59.515
I'm not allowed to have a dog.

00:01:04.499 --> 00:01:06.110
Can you keep a secret?

00:01:06.883 --> 00:01:08.742
(Laughter)

00:01:09.734 --> 00:01:11.875
I have a dog.

00:01:12.156 --> 00:01:13.431
(Laughter)

00:01:14.244 --> 00:01:18.144
After a hard and frustrating day
at my program assignment,

00:01:18.144 --> 00:01:19.855
I head back to the cell.

00:01:20.899 --> 00:01:22.710
The gate is cracked,

00:01:23.685 --> 00:01:26.528
and there my best friend is.

00:01:32.782 --> 00:01:34.363
(Panting)

00:01:34.363 --> 00:01:36.030
Down boy.

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:39.395
(Laughter)

00:01:40.226 --> 00:01:42.621
(Applause)

00:01:44.827 --> 00:01:46.559
How many of you believe

00:01:46.559 --> 00:01:50.203
that global warming
is affecting our environment?

00:01:52.364 --> 00:01:55.786
What if climate change is more personal

00:01:55.786 --> 00:01:57.541
than we imagined?

00:01:58.199 --> 00:01:59.949
Ponder this.

00:01:59.949 --> 00:02:02.738
With the summers getting
hotter and hotter,

00:02:02.738 --> 00:02:06.296
everyone is trying to find
ways to cool off.

00:02:06.296 --> 00:02:08.480
Some of us retreat to beaches;

00:02:08.480 --> 00:02:11.230
some of us retreat to backyard pools.

00:02:11.230 --> 00:02:15.176
Most urban kids turn on fire hydrants.

00:02:22.752 --> 00:02:26.166
When my blood begins to simmer,

00:02:26.648 --> 00:02:30.558
and my body rages,

00:02:30.558 --> 00:02:36.006
my temperature reaches
a level of Farenheit 451.

00:02:37.998 --> 00:02:42.058
My fight and flight response
is stuck on fight.

00:02:47.174 --> 00:02:50.153
I retreat to the pond in my cell,

00:02:50.153 --> 00:02:52.176
where the water is serene

00:02:52.176 --> 00:02:54.178
and clear as a bell.

00:02:55.076 --> 00:02:57.333
There are frogs on lily pads

00:02:57.634 --> 00:03:01.202
and cattails swaying in the breeze.

00:03:01.827 --> 00:03:03.596
Fish playing tag,

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.173
and tadpoles playing leapfrog.

00:03:06.173 --> 00:03:08.295
The sun is shining.

00:03:08.655 --> 00:03:10.823
The birds are chirping.

00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:13.054
Squirrels are playing,

00:03:13.355 --> 00:03:15.221
and butterflies are flirting.

00:03:15.221 --> 00:03:16.683
And there's a duck.

00:03:16.958 --> 00:03:21.268
Quack, quack, quack,
quack, quack, quack, quack.

00:03:22.664 --> 00:03:24.160
Oh yeah.

00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.391
And my dog is over there
sunning himself.

00:03:27.625 --> 00:03:28.755
(Laughter)

00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:33.920
Instead of plunging in,

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:35.889
I stick my toe in.

00:03:36.019 --> 00:03:38.180
Ooh la la, that's cold.

00:03:38.420 --> 00:03:40.542
(Laughter)

00:03:41.642 --> 00:03:43.648
So, I wade in.

00:03:59.947 --> 00:04:04.500
Through the use of imagination,
acting, and yoga,

00:04:04.765 --> 00:04:06.434
and qi gong,

00:04:06.660 --> 00:04:09.009
I've found a way to recover

00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:11.630
from the traumatic experience
that is prison.

00:04:11.630 --> 00:04:13.059
Thank you.

00:04:13.212 --> 00:04:15.562
(Applause) (Cheers)
