Hi, everybody. Before you fire up the barbecue for the long weekend, I want to talk a little bit about the reason we get to celebrate Labor Day – and that's the Labor Movement that helped build this country and our middle class. For generations, every time the economy's changed, hardworking Americans marched and organized and joined unions to demand not simply a bigg...
Thank you so much! Ms. Janelle Monáe! Come on out here and give a bow! Thank you so much. So in addition to Janelle Monáe, please give Kendrick Lamar a big round of applause! Here he is, right here. So on behalf of all of us, obviously we were hoping to share their incredible talents with 5,000 people out on the South Lawn. And the Fourth of July is about family, it's ab...
Thank you, Mr. Douglas, for your commitment as a Messenger of Peace. I'm honored to stand here this afternoon alongside the great Ban Ki-moon, my fellow Messengers of Peace and all of you together on this International Day of Peace. The word "peace" has many possible meanings, and the Messenger of Peace program has been vital to addressing some of the most pres...
To all Muslims in Britain and around the world, I wish you a blessed Eid al-Adha. I know this festival means a great deal to communities, a time when families and friends are brought together to pray and feast, and Muslims across different continents are brought together in faith. And as you share in that spirit of togetherness, I think proudly of the many ways people in thi...
Ladies and gentlemen, I am most touched and, indeed, surprised, that the Evening Standard should have decided to give me the award of Londoner of the Decade. I have to confess I am not entirely sure whether to be pleased or alarmed. Perhaps I am losing my touch when such eminent newspapers start giving me achievement awards! So, I set to wondering what this achievement might...
Among the many special moments of the summer of 2012, there was nothing more inspiring than the way our Paralympics captured the imagination of the world, fundamentally changing attitudes towards disability. At the heart of that success was our brilliant Paralympics GB Team. As people from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland stood together, lining the streets to ce...
Good afternoon! When I first stood here in Downing Street on that evening in May 2010, I said we would confront our problems as a country and lead people through difficult decisions, so that together we could reach better times. It's not been an easy journey, and of course we have not got every decision right, but I do believe that today our country is much stronger. Abo...
Hi, my name is Bradley Byrne, and I have the honor of representing the first district of Alabama in the United States House of Representatives. This summer, my colleagues and I have been talking with our constituents all over the country about our proposed agenda for 2017 – what we're calling A Better Way. I've decided to focus on the first plank of our agenda: pover...
Thank you, Arena, for such a generous introduction. And on behalf of the entire HeForShe team, I also want to thank UNESCO for all of its support. It's meant a lot to us. Thank you all for being here for this important moment. These men from all over the world have decided to make gender equality a priority in their lives and in our universities. Thank you for making thi...
Bullying is an issue which can affect any one of us, regardless of age, background, gender, sexuality, race, disability or religion. It can happen for many reasons, it is often stupid and cruel, and can take many forms. And the reach of technology means it can feel unrelenting, leaving the victim feeling attacked, powerless and isolated. For young people in particular, bully...
Hi, everyone, I've had the honour of spending the last fifteen years working with young people who are building meaningful projects in communities from coast to coast to coast. As Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister for Youth, I've been able to take that engagement to a new level and see firsthand the incredible work being done by Canadians all across the c...
Thank you, Jack, for that kind introduction. It's a tremendous pleasure to be here. It's a tremendous pleasure to be welcomed by you. Since…the ten months or so since I've been prime minister, I've already had multiple occasions to sit down with many different leading business figures from around the world, leading political figures from around the world, and...
It's good to have everyone here today for this important announcement, because we really do have some great news to share – news that will benefit not just people here in Barrie, but all across the province. In our spring budget, we outlined our plan to invest in public transit, to create jobs, to strengthen our communities and to grow the middle class. Since that time, ...
Good morning and welcome: welcome to my colleagues here on stage, to the family members who have joined us today, and – especially – to the Yale College Class of 2020. 2020 – 2020 is a term that inevitably brings to mind perfect eyesight. And now that all of you are wearing 2020 as your class label in Yale College, I am confident your intuition and your mental acuity will de...
My fellow Singaporeans, Half a century ago, when we embarked on our nation-building journey, we could not yet call ourselves "one people". We found it hard to imagine how we would survive on our own, let alone progress together. But despite the odds, we made it. Last year, in SG50, we celebrated how far we had come. Singaporeans now own and live in beautiful homes....
Every four years, our nation's attention turns to a competition that's as heated as it is historic. People pack arenas and wave flags. Journalists judge every move and overanalyze every misstep. Sometimes we're let down, but more often we're lifted up. And just when we think we've seen it all, we see something happen in a race that we've never seen be...
President Obama: Hi, everybody. I'm here with Senator Elizabeth Warren, one of our strongest advocates for families and consumers like you. And today, we want to talk to you about some of the actions we've taken to protect everything you've worked so hard to build. Eight years ago, after some big banks made irresponsible and risky bets with your money, we almost ...
Hi, everybody. It's been a challenging couple of weeks. The shootings in Minnesota and Baton Rouge; the protests; the targeting and murder of police officers in Dallas – it's left all of us struggling to make sense of things at times. Now, I know that for many, it can feel like the deepest fault lines of our democracy have suddenly been exposed, and even widened. But...
Hi, everybody. Earlier this summer, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I headed west – to the national parks at Carlsbad Caverns and Yosemite. And I've got to say, it was a breath of fresh air. We explored hundreds of feet underground, standing beneath dripping stalactites in New Mexico. We hiked up a misty trail next to a waterfall in California. And I even took a few pictures ...
Gosh! I'm so overwhelmed! Thank you to everyone that has shared their story tonight and has contributed to what has been the most heart-warming moment of my year. Good evening! Being a part of HeForShe for the last two years has been an incredible learning experience for me. There have been some really hard moments and a lot of amazing ones – ones I never could have imag...
