 We are witnessing a total political systemfailure in America. If you’re anything like me you may findyourself constantly overwhelmed by everything that’s wrong with politics. And when I say politics I’m not talkingabout Democrats or Republicans. I’m talking about the flaws that exist inour political system regardless of which party is in power. And I know, it’s hard to talk about politicsthese days, but look: The government is ours.  We pay for it, so it needs to work for us. And right now it doesn’t. And I mean it really doesn’t. So, what’s going on here? Is it Russian meddling and social media? Is it him? Is it her? No. Those two were the least popular presidentialcandidates since they began keeping track of such things. Only 4% of Americans have a great deal ofconfidence in Congress now. Just 4%. America is no longer even considered a fulldemocracy. We are witnessing total political system failurein America. Which is the complete opposite of what ournation's founders had i...

 Good morning Your Highness, excellences, friends,and colleagues. I would like to thank you for the opportunityto be here today. It's also an honor to join forces with EducatedChild, an organization led by a woman who is an amazing role model — a woman who hasshown such relentless dedication to getting every child in school. This is such an exciting day for us becauseit marks the beginning of a new era in my home country Colombia.  Most of you may know me as an artist, as anentertainer, and that's indeed my calling and what I've been doing since I was 13 yearsold, but I never would have imagined when I started out that my work as an artist wouldend up being the vehicle for me to serve my greater purpose in life of working towardseradicating poverty through the power of Education. As a Colombian citizen inequality as a conceptthat sadly one becomes very familiar with at a very young age. It's a country like many others in Latin Americawhere a few have a lot; a lot have a...

 Zainab: Hello everyone. I'm Zainab Salbiand I have the great honorof being on stage with the India's greatest movie star, Aamir Khan. I mean we are talking beyond the actions moviesof James Bond and Daniel Craig. We are talking beyond the romances of RichardGere. We are talking beyond the charms of GeorgeClooney, we are talking, ladies and gentlemen, above and beyond, all of that. A man who has been acting since the age ofnine, a man who has conquered the hearts of six hundred million, yes, six hundred millionIndians. This is half of the Indian population. This man has done it. Unbelievable! And in 2012 he surprises India, he surprisesthe world, with launching a new TV talk show, Satyamev Jate, Jayate, that tackles socialissues, taboos heads-on, I mean you just put yourself out there. What inspired you to do that?"  Aamir: Well, a big good evening to everyonehere. I think it started somewhere when I was avery small child and it began with my mother, I think. Ahh, my mothe...

 Charlie: We've all become very cognizant ofJack and his story. And when Alibaba went public with the largestIPO in history, we knew a lot more about him. So, I want to talk about his personal story. I want to talk about how many times he triedand failed and what kept him going. I want to talk about where he is today andhow he got here. I’ll begin with this question though, Jack. Why are you back at Davos? Jack: It's been a long break, for seven years. I think my last trip here was in year 2008. But I was coming for the year 2001 for theYoung Global Leader for Tomorrow. And I think, I remember, I never heard aboutDavos when I came. But when I came into Switzerland, so manyyoung people demonstrated.  It was such a horrible scene and I asked them“What are they doing?” They said, “Anti-globalization.” And I said “Why? Globalization is a great thing. Why people don't like it?” And then we came all the way for two hourshere. There's a machine gun, there's a people checki...

 I've been living in Los Angeles for two years,and I've never been this cold in my life. I will pay anyone here $300 for GORE-TEX gloves. Anybody. I'm serious. I have the cash. Before I begin, I must point out that behindme sits a highly admired President of the United States and decorated war hero whileI, a cable television talk show host, has been chosen to stand here and impart wisdom. I pray I never witness a more damning exampleof what is wrong with America today. Graduates, faculty, parents, relatives, undergraduates,and old people that just come to these things: Good morning and congratulations to the DartmouthClass of 2011. Today, you have achieved something special,something only 92 percent of Americans your age will ever know: a college diploma.  That’s right, with your college diplomayou now have a crushing advantage over 8 percent of the workforce. I'm talking about dropout losers like BillGates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. Incidentally, speaking of Mr....

 Good evening. Thank you. One year ago, I introduced my father whenhe declared his candidacy. In his own way, and through his own sheerforce of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider. And he prevailed against a field of 16 verytalented competitors. For more than a year, Donald Trump has beenthe people’s champion, and tonight he’s the people’s nominee. Like many of my fellow millenials, I do notconsider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote on basedon what I believe is right, for my family and for my country. Sometimes it’s a tough choice.  That is not the case this time. As the proud daughter of your nominee, I amhere to tell you that this is the moment and Donald Trump is the person to make Americagreat again. Real change, the kind we have not seen indecades is only going to come from outside the system. And it’s only going to come from a man who’sspent his entire life doing what others said could not...

 How you guys doing? Good, good good good good. Well guys, I was born this way, and there’sno medical reason why that happened. My brother and my sister were born with arms and legs. And sometimes in life, things happen thatdon’t make sense. My doctors never thought that I’d be able to walk, and today, I’mwalking. I’m from Australia, anybody want to one day go to Australia? It’s such acool place. And I now live in LA; I’m a Southern California boy. So I only live aboutfour hours from here. And today I’m going to tell you, man — Ilove freaking people out. One day I’m in a car, I’m in the front seat — I’m notdriving of course.  Can you imagine if I’m driving a car? They reckon they can put ajoystick — that thing that controlls my wheelchair — we can put that in a car. Likehow fully sick is that? Imagine if I get pulled over by the cops? Can I have your driver’slicense please? Yeah, but, it’s over there; you’re going to have to get it. Imagine if I’m in big trouble! Put yourhands...
