0:00:14.794,0:00:19.021
So what is the biggest challenge[br]that men face today?

0:00:19.669,0:00:22.182
Now, some people might think,

0:00:22.182,0:00:24.071
"Men have challenges?"

0:00:24.971,0:00:29.221
Others might think,[br]"Men are actually a challenge."

0:00:29.221,0:00:30.848
(Laughter)

0:00:31.138,0:00:32.563
(Applause)

0:00:32.563,0:00:34.065
Yeah, there we go.

0:00:34.065,0:00:36.141
(Applause) (Laughter)

0:00:37.149,0:00:40.462
But really, what are the biggest[br]challenges that men face today?

0:00:40.462,0:00:42.900
Some might say that[br]it's being able to develop

0:00:42.900,0:00:45.996
a deep sense of emotional intelligence,

0:00:45.996,0:00:49.519
while others would say[br]that it's being able to really understand

0:00:49.519,0:00:52.392
racial and gender inequality.

0:00:52.847,0:00:55.055
Now, while both of those are true,

0:00:55.055,0:00:58.487
I see that the biggest challenge[br]that they face in order to address those

0:00:58.487,0:01:02.696
is being able to overcome and move through[br]some of the negative stereotypes

0:01:02.696,0:01:05.261
that surround masculinity.

0:01:05.713,0:01:07.143
You see, at a very young age,

0:01:07.143,0:01:13.336
most boys and young men are taught[br]that their highest value as a man

0:01:13.336,0:01:20.322
is their ability to dominate,[br]to control and to succeed at all costs.

0:01:21.936,0:01:23.795
You see, I've had a unique experience

0:01:23.795,0:01:26.933
and I've been able to see masculinity[br]in all different forms

0:01:26.933,0:01:29.528
and all walks of life,

0:01:29.528,0:01:32.872
from the frozen gravel pits[br]of Northern Alberta

0:01:32.872,0:01:36.582
to the opera houses of Europe and China,

0:01:36.582,0:01:40.594
all the way back to the corporate[br]boardrooms of North America.

0:01:41.236,0:01:46.045
I've seen the dark, violent[br]and aggressive side of masculinity,

0:01:46.515,0:01:50.512
and I've seen the light,[br]compassionate, caring side.

0:01:51.613,0:01:53.467
I remember growing up in Alberta,

0:01:53.467,0:01:56.056
and for those of you[br]who don't know what that's like,

0:01:56.056,0:01:58.613
it's kind of like the Texas of Canada.

0:01:58.613,0:01:59.893
(Laughter)

0:02:00.173,0:02:02.063
There's a lot of oil,

0:02:02.063,0:02:03.873
there's a lot of big trucks,

0:02:03.873,0:02:06.818
and there seems to be[br]a plethora of cowboys.

0:02:07.748,0:02:11.457
Now, I grew up going[br]to a Catholic elementary school,

0:02:11.457,0:02:13.953
and every Friday morning,[br]we had this great tradition

0:02:13.953,0:02:15.360
that I absolutely loved.

0:02:15.360,0:02:18.123
Every Friday morning,[br]somebody would come over the intercom

0:02:18.123,0:02:19.892
and they would read the Lord's prayer

0:02:19.892,0:02:21.944
because it was a Catholic[br]elementary school,

0:02:21.944,0:02:23.062
but then, after that,

0:02:23.062,0:02:26.163
somebody would come on,[br]and they would sing the national anthem.

0:02:26.163,0:02:27.308
Now, I loved this!

0:02:27.308,0:02:29.503
I loved this because I loved music.

0:02:29.503,0:02:32.135
And every week, the teacher would ask,

0:02:32.135,0:02:36.113
"Is somebody willing to volunteer[br]to go and sing the national anthem?"

0:02:36.113,0:02:38.398
And every week, I would want[br]to put my hand up,

0:02:38.398,0:02:40.086
but I was too scared.

0:02:41.296,0:02:45.960
Finally, after hearing somebody[br]completely botch it one Friday morning,

0:02:46.852,0:02:50.740
I decided, "I can do this, and I can[br]probably even do it better than them."

0:02:51.179,0:02:53.759
So I went home that day, and I practiced.

0:02:53.759,0:02:56.032
I practiced and practiced and practiced.

0:02:56.032,0:02:59.047
From morning to night,[br]from bedroom to bathroom,

0:02:59.047,0:03:03.436
I practiced singing the national anthem,[br]and it must have driven my parents crazy!

0:03:04.176,0:03:06.997
I actually remember I had[br]one of those double cassette decks

0:03:06.997,0:03:11.174
where you could put a cassette in one side[br]and a cassette in the other,

0:03:11.174,0:03:13.975
and so I could put[br]Michael Jackson in on one side,

0:03:13.975,0:03:18.794
and I would listen to him sing "Bad"[br]and "Thriller" and "Heal the World,"

0:03:18.794,0:03:20.612
and I would practice my (Singing).

0:03:20.612,0:03:22.035
And then on the other side -

0:03:22.035,0:03:23.685
(Laughter)

0:03:23.685,0:03:26.189
I would practice myself[br]singing the national anthem.

0:03:26.469,0:03:30.644
So finally, I got the courage up[br]to go and do this.

0:03:30.644,0:03:33.773
So one Friday morning,[br]I march myself to school,

0:03:33.773,0:03:37.795
I walk straight into the office,[br]I go right up to the secretary and I say,

0:03:37.795,0:03:41.342
"I am here to sing the national anthem."

0:03:41.342,0:03:43.003
(Laughter)

0:03:43.003,0:03:46.290
And she looks at me clearly confused[br]about why I'm so excited.

0:03:46.641,0:03:49.425
And she just says, "Okay ..."

0:03:49.425,0:03:50.607
(Laughter)

0:03:50.607,0:03:51.776
So my time comes,

0:03:51.776,0:03:54.256
I get up and I sing that national anthem

0:03:54.256,0:03:58.113
with all the jazz and pop tones[br]that I can possibly muster.

0:03:58.113,0:03:59.495
(Laughter)

0:03:59.737,0:04:01.663
In my mind, it goes amazing.

0:04:01.663,0:04:02.836
(Laughter)

0:04:02.836,0:04:06.112
I walk out of the office[br]with my head held high,

0:04:06.112,0:04:09.986
with my pride in tow[br]and a grin from ear to ear.

0:04:10.830,0:04:15.048
As I'm going to class, I turn the corner[br]and I bumped into the grade-six bully.

0:04:15.996,0:04:18.127
He's a little bit bigger than me.

0:04:18.127,0:04:19.642
He looks at me and he says,

0:04:19.642,0:04:23.234
"Was that you that just sang[br]the national anthem?"

0:04:23.234,0:04:24.558
"Yes,"

0:04:25.158,0:04:27.489
I say, clearly proud of myself.

0:04:28.328,0:04:29.821
And then, bam!

0:04:29.821,0:04:32.478
He punches me right in the gut.

0:04:33.616,0:04:36.114
And I drop to my knees[br]because I can't breathe,

0:04:36.114,0:04:40.264
and I look up at him and all I can manage[br]to squeak out is, "Why?"

0:04:40.264,0:04:43.430
Because I'm so confused[br]as to what the heck just happened.

0:04:43.985,0:04:47.031
And I'll never forget:[br]he just looks at me,

0:04:47.031,0:04:49.781
and he says, "Don't be such a bitch.

0:04:50.231,0:04:51.881
Singing is for girls."

0:04:53.555,0:04:54.815
And there it was,

0:04:54.815,0:04:56.769
my first real experience

0:04:56.769,0:05:00.867
with what one of the biggest challenges[br]that young boys and young men face today,

0:05:00.867,0:05:04.351
being taught that emotional[br]and creative expression

0:05:04.351,0:05:07.759
is not what a real man does.

0:05:07.759,0:05:14.302
You see, the rise of the empowered woman[br]is not a threat to masculinity.

0:05:14.664,0:05:17.885
Feminism is not the death of men.

0:05:20.145,0:05:21.409
Thank you.

0:05:21.409,0:05:23.187
(Laughter)

0:05:23.187,0:05:25.545
(Applause)

0:05:28.158,0:05:30.104
Machoism and our idea

0:05:30.104,0:05:33.112
that in order to be a successful man[br]we need to dominate others,

0:05:33.112,0:05:36.352
we need to be a lone wolf,[br]we need to figure it out by ourselves,

0:05:36.352,0:05:38.700
that's what's really crushing men today.

0:05:39.322,0:05:40.663
But what is machoism?

0:05:40.663,0:05:42.447
Is it really that bad?

0:05:42.447,0:05:44.866
I mean, there was a wrestler[br]named Macho Man.

0:05:44.866,0:05:46.534
It can't be that horrible.

0:05:46.904,0:05:48.421
Well, let's take a look.

0:05:50.941,0:05:52.241
So machoism ...

0:05:53.281,0:05:56.867
Machoism is a strong sense[br]of masculine pride -

0:05:56.867,0:05:58.489
okay, not so bad -

0:05:58.489,0:06:00.844
with the supreme valuation[br]of characteristics

0:06:00.844,0:06:04.651
culturally associated with the masculine

0:06:05.331,0:06:09.270
and the denigration and devaluation

0:06:09.270,0:06:13.653
of characteristics culturally[br]associated with the feminine.

0:06:14.422,0:06:16.653
That means that young boys[br]and young men

0:06:16.653,0:06:20.205
that are trying to live[br]into this very macho stereotype,

0:06:20.205,0:06:23.593
this macho, you know, archetype,

0:06:24.513,0:06:27.641
put masculine qualities[br]and masculine traits on a pedestal

0:06:27.641,0:06:30.690
and diminish anything[br]that's associated with the feminine,

0:06:31.410,0:06:33.245
things like community.

0:06:33.909,0:06:36.815
They end up idolizing and worshiping[br]and putting on a pedestal

0:06:36.815,0:06:40.833
this idea that we need to be a lone wolf[br]in order to figure everything out,

0:06:40.833,0:06:43.392
in order to be "a real man."

0:06:45.111,0:06:46.937
I found this photo a few years back,

0:06:46.937,0:06:51.104
and it fundamentally shifted[br]the way that I see men in our society,

0:06:51.104,0:06:52.634
successful men.

0:06:53.034,0:06:56.379
You see, at the front[br]of the pack are three wolves,

0:06:56.379,0:07:00.373
and these three wolves[br]are actually the oldest and the sickest.

0:07:00.752,0:07:04.095
They're there to kind of set the pace[br]for the entire pack.

0:07:04.095,0:07:07.710
Now, behind them[br]are the five omega wolves.

0:07:07.710,0:07:09.661
These are the tough guys.

0:07:09.661,0:07:12.847
Now, these five omega wolves[br]are there to protect the pack

0:07:12.847,0:07:14.607
in case of an ambush,

0:07:14.607,0:07:17.767
and every once in a while, you know,[br]nip the older ones in the butt

0:07:17.767,0:07:20.585
to make sure that[br]they're moving on fast enough.

0:07:20.925,0:07:24.466
Now, behind the five omega wolves[br]is the rest of the pack,

0:07:24.466,0:07:26.987
you know, the moms and the baby cubs,

0:07:26.987,0:07:31.730
and at the very back,[br]almost off of the picture entirely,

0:07:31.730,0:07:33.441
is the alpha wolf.

0:07:34.084,0:07:37.914
Now, you see, in nature,[br]they have it right,

0:07:37.914,0:07:39.417
they know what they're doing.

0:07:39.417,0:07:44.493
In nature, the alpha wolf[br]is an integral part of society,

0:07:44.493,0:07:47.467
it's an integral part of the community.

0:07:47.467,0:07:51.567
And in nature, the lone wolf[br]is actually an outcast,

0:07:51.567,0:07:54.985
and he is an outcast[br]because he is too violent

0:07:54.985,0:07:58.740
and he is too dangerous for the pack.

0:08:00.334,0:08:01.557
But these archetypes,

0:08:01.557,0:08:02.947
these sort of characteristics

0:08:02.947,0:08:06.200
that a lot of young boys[br]and a lot of men are trying to live into,

0:08:06.200,0:08:11.286
this macho idea and this idea[br]that we need to be a lone wolf,

0:08:11.286,0:08:14.513
is what's really having[br]a negative impact on most men today.

0:08:14.513,0:08:19.060
And this is what's created[br]what I call the mask of masculinity.

0:08:19.760,0:08:22.628
The mask of masculinity[br]sounds something like this.

0:08:22.628,0:08:24.673
Rule number one: real men don't cry.

0:08:24.673,0:08:27.059
It's kind of like the first rule[br]of "Fight Club."

0:08:27.059,0:08:29.178
Everybody knows it, nobody talks about it.

0:08:29.888,0:08:32.523
Rule number two: real men[br]don't express emotions openly,

0:08:32.523,0:08:35.076
unless it's anger and aggression.

0:08:35.648,0:08:37.497
Real men aren't empathetic.

0:08:37.497,0:08:39.409
And there's strength in retaliation:

0:08:39.409,0:08:43.282
if you get hit or you get hurt,[br]you damn well better hit back

0:08:43.282,0:08:45.929
and you better hurt back twice as hard.

0:08:47.229,0:08:49.569
You need to be tough and strong.

0:08:50.009,0:08:54.457
You need to avoid anything[br]that resembles being a woman.

0:08:55.790,0:08:59.677
Now, this mask, these[br]archetypes have an impact.

0:09:00.677,0:09:02.575
They have consequences.

0:09:02.575,0:09:05.025
The consequences are very real.

0:09:05.585,0:09:09.000
The World Health Organization[br]last year released a study

0:09:09.000,0:09:14.395
showing that men are four times[br]more likely to commit suicide than women.

0:09:14.765,0:09:16.404
Four times.

0:09:17.411,0:09:24.079
That means that out of the 800,000 people[br]who took their lives last year,

0:09:24.079,0:09:26.327
three quarters of them were men.

0:09:26.718,0:09:29.085
That's nearly 600,000 men.

0:09:30.044,0:09:31.754
So why is this happening?

0:09:32.074,0:09:34.752
Why is this on a borderline epidemic?

0:09:34.752,0:09:38.933
Well, researchers in the UK did a study

0:09:38.933,0:09:44.833
and found that half, 50 percent[br]of men over the age of 25

0:09:44.833,0:09:50.396
cannot identify what they would consider[br]to be a best friend or a close friend.

0:09:50.920,0:09:53.469
Now, that means that[br]if they lose their job,

0:09:53.469,0:09:55.725
if they're struggling financially,

0:09:56.335,0:09:59.905
if they lose a parent,[br]if they lose a child,

0:09:59.905,0:10:02.298
if they're diagnosed with cancer,

0:10:02.298,0:10:04.226
if their business is struggling so bad

0:10:04.226,0:10:06.888
that they don't know[br]how they're going to pay themselves

0:10:06.888,0:10:08.444
or their employees,

0:10:08.734,0:10:10.895
they have no one to go talk to.

0:10:11.817,0:10:16.488
Researchers have linked this[br]to the 60-percent increase -

0:10:16.488,0:10:18.541
60-percent increase -

0:10:18.541,0:10:22.005
in male suicides[br]over the last 45 years alone.

0:10:23.174,0:10:27.818
That doesn't even take into account[br]the millions of men who will die in wars,

0:10:27.818,0:10:30.297
fathers and sons who'll be[br]gunned down in the streets

0:10:30.297,0:10:32.760
because emotional inaptitudes,

0:10:32.760,0:10:35.888
not to mention the millions of women

0:10:35.888,0:10:41.559
who'll be abused, who'll be raped,[br]who'll be mutilated and who'll be killed

0:10:41.559,0:10:45.036
because of this misplaced[br]sense of superiority.

0:10:48.586,0:10:54.531
Now, I'm not proud of it, but I lived[br]into this archetype for a very long time.

0:10:54.531,0:10:58.235
I was stuck behind this mask[br]of what I thought it meant to be a man.

0:10:58.235,0:11:03.205
And because of that, I found myself alone,[br]I found myself isolated, depressed,

0:11:03.205,0:11:08.430
and worst of all, I hurt the people[br]that I loved the most in my life.

0:11:09.142,0:11:10.512
Now, along that journey,

0:11:10.512,0:11:14.645
because I refused to give in[br]and I refused to live in this archetype,

0:11:14.645,0:11:16.578
I learned how to do this -

0:11:19.388,0:11:22.189
(Singing in Italian) Mercy,

0:11:22.189,0:11:25.619
respect,

0:11:25.619,0:11:29.879
love,

0:11:30.419,0:11:33.159
the comfort

0:11:33.159,0:11:39.536
of declining years ...

0:11:39.992,0:11:42.319
Ah!

0:11:42.319,0:11:45.749
These will place

0:11:45.749,0:11:51.607
no flowers.

0:11:53.433,0:11:56.306
(Applause)

0:12:08.434,0:12:10.586
Because I refused[br]to buy into this stereotype,

0:12:10.586,0:12:12.229
I got a degree in music,

0:12:12.229,0:12:14.426
I traveled the world singing opera,

0:12:14.426,0:12:17.067
I ended up working for the biggest[br]company in the world,

0:12:17.067,0:12:20.582
and ultimately, I started[br]an organization called Man Talks,

0:12:20.582,0:12:23.128
which supports men[br]in being better fathers,

0:12:23.128,0:12:25.504
better husbands and better leaders

0:12:25.504,0:12:28.664
through real connections,[br]real conversations

0:12:28.664,0:12:30.697
and a powerful community.

0:12:31.439,0:12:32.882
So where do we start?

0:12:32.882,0:12:36.782
Because this is a big question,[br]and it's a real challenge.

0:12:37.362,0:12:39.842
I say it starts with you,

0:12:39.842,0:12:41.507
it starts with me,

0:12:41.507,0:12:44.613
but most importantly,[br]it starts with our sons.

0:12:45.773,0:12:47.969
Now, a few years back[br]when I was still singing,

0:12:47.969,0:12:52.950
I had the opportunity to work with a group[br]of underprivileged inner-city boys,

0:12:52.950,0:12:57.676
and these kids were between the ages[br]of 10 and 14, maybe 15.

0:12:58.442,0:13:02.748
A lot of them came from families,[br]you know, with single parents,

0:13:02.748,0:13:04.914
definitely under the poverty line.

0:13:04.914,0:13:08.569
A lot of them came from, you know,[br]homes where their parents were addicts.

0:13:08.569,0:13:11.530
And I was there to work[br]with them about creativity,

0:13:11.530,0:13:13.499
and passion, and expression,

0:13:13.499,0:13:15.978
things that I clearly enjoy talking about.

0:13:16.778,0:13:19.928
And I started off the day[br]with singing the exact same lines

0:13:19.928,0:13:21.799
that I just sang for you today,

0:13:21.799,0:13:23.473
and then, when I was done,

0:13:23.473,0:13:26.868
I explained and translated[br]the first three words -

0:13:26.868,0:13:30.313
That was from Macbeth, by the way.[br]That's Macbeth's aria.

0:13:30.313,0:13:34.471
And I said, "pietà," "rispetto, "amore."

0:13:34.901,0:13:38.830
"Honor," "respect," and "love,"

0:13:38.830,0:13:44.475
three things that every man[br]and every woman can live by in their life.

0:13:45.259,0:13:48.590
Now, as soon as I was finished,[br]one of the kids spoke up, and he said,

0:13:48.590,0:13:50.904
"Love makes you weak. Love is for girls."

0:13:50.904,0:13:53.811
And he just crosses his arms[br]and looks away.

0:13:54.241,0:13:55.550
I was a little taken aback.

0:13:55.550,0:14:00.138
I was fully and mentally prepared[br]to get made fun of for singing opera

0:14:00.138,0:14:02.033
in front of these kids,

0:14:02.033,0:14:04.248
but I wasn't expecting this.

0:14:05.862,0:14:07.619
I said, "Why do you say that?"

0:14:07.619,0:14:11.200
He didn't respond, he just nodded off[br]and looked out the window.

0:14:11.707,0:14:17.065
I said, "Love is one of the most powerful[br]virtues and characteristics that we have."

0:14:17.065,0:14:18.825
It's one of the most powerful virtues

0:14:18.825,0:14:21.877
that we can hope[br]to experience in our lifetime.

0:14:21.877,0:14:24.499
Love is for men, and love is for women.

0:14:24.499,0:14:28.702
Love creates an equal playing field[br]where all of us get to show up.

0:14:29.802,0:14:30.990
Now, I didn't press it

0:14:30.990,0:14:34.609
because I didn't want to call this kid out[br]in front of the rest of the class,

0:14:34.609,0:14:35.611
and so I let it go.

0:14:35.611,0:14:37.609
At the end of the class, he was up and out

0:14:37.609,0:14:40.837
before I even had a chance[br]to say anything.

0:14:41.898,0:14:45.636
Thankfully I was back the next morning,[br]and I was going to address it with him.

0:14:45.636,0:14:49.165
That morning, I was sitting at my computer[br]and getting ready for the class,

0:14:49.165,0:14:53.231
and before anybody else showed up,[br]in walks this same little boy.

0:14:54.014,0:14:56.115
And he walks up to me,

0:14:56.115,0:14:59.046
and kind of kicking his feet,[br]he says, "Hi."

0:15:00.456,0:15:01.823
I say, "Hi."

0:15:02.753,0:15:06.210
He says, "I'm sorry[br]for what I said yesterday."

0:15:06.921,0:15:09.481
I said, "It's okay. Why did you say that?"

0:15:10.961,0:15:12.539
He said,

0:15:12.539,0:15:16.796
"Three months ago,[br]my mom passed away of cancer.

0:15:16.796,0:15:21.906
And I loved her more[br]than anybody in the world,

0:15:22.805,0:15:25.974
and it hurt, it hurt so bad."

0:15:26.741,0:15:30.273
And he said, "Every time that I would cry,[br]my dad would just yell at me,

0:15:30.273,0:15:31.846
and yell at me.

0:15:31.846,0:15:34.042
And he would say, "Stop crying!

0:15:34.042,0:15:37.136
Don't be so emotional.[br]Deal with this like a man!"

0:15:39.685,0:15:42.211
Like, here is this twelve-year-old boy,

0:15:42.211,0:15:43.834
clearly not a man.

0:15:44.448,0:15:47.805
I knelt down because my heart[br]was breaking for him,

0:15:47.805,0:15:51.802
and I wrapped my arms around him,[br]and he just broke down, crying.

0:15:52.562,0:15:54.371
And I said, "It's okay.

0:15:55.005,0:15:56.533
It's okay."

0:15:57.686,0:16:00.596
Sometimes, all the time,

0:16:00.596,0:16:02.565
"dealing with it like a man"

0:16:02.565,0:16:06.190
means having the courage[br]to see what's actually there

0:16:06.190,0:16:07.876
instead of running away from it.

0:16:09.896,0:16:11.688
And so, with that in mind,

0:16:12.076,0:16:14.655
I want to leave you[br]with three simple things.

0:16:14.961,0:16:16.171
Guys,

0:16:16.581,0:16:18.781
it is time to start building[br]your brotherhoods,

0:16:18.781,0:16:21.921
it's time to start reconnecting[br]with the men in your life

0:16:21.921,0:16:26.101
who are willing to have[br]the real conversations,

0:16:26.101,0:16:31.675
the ones that go beyond the booze,[br]and the babes, and the blood sports.

0:16:31.675,0:16:33.453
(Laughter)

0:16:33.453,0:16:36.396
(Applause)

0:16:42.444,0:16:44.899
Now, I'm not saying[br]that you've got to get a guitar

0:16:44.899,0:16:48.077
and get around the campfire[br]and, you know, cry

0:16:48.077,0:16:49.479
and sing Kumbaya.

0:16:49.479,0:16:50.769
(Laughter)

0:16:50.769,0:16:53.576
Well, what I am saying is:[br]have the meaningful conversations

0:16:53.576,0:16:57.185
about what is actually[br]happening in your life.

0:16:59.165,0:17:00.552
And ladies -

0:17:01.317,0:17:02.447
(Sigh)

0:17:03.262,0:17:05.168
We've been through a lot together.

0:17:05.168,0:17:06.683
(Laughter)

0:17:06.683,0:17:09.297
First off, ladies,[br]I just want to say thank you.

0:17:09.297,0:17:11.780
Thank you to every single one of you.

0:17:11.780,0:17:16.573
Second off, I want to say that this talk[br]is a formal invitation

0:17:16.573,0:17:21.322
to each and every single one of you[br]to join our conversation.

0:17:21.322,0:17:25.887
Help us, support us in finding strength[br]within our vulnerabilities,

0:17:25.887,0:17:28.661
for it is there where[br]we will truly meet you.

0:17:30.181,0:17:32.259
And lastly, fathers,

0:17:34.528,0:17:39.493
be the type of man that you would be[br]proud to see your daughters marry

0:17:39.493,0:17:44.137
and the type of man that your son[br]deserves to be raised by

0:17:44.137,0:17:47.454
so he can stop being part of the problem

0:17:47.454,0:17:50.390
and he can start[br]being part of the solution.

0:17:51.900,0:17:54.709
(Applause) (Cheering)
