  Speaker 6: World Peace Earth Day celebration, and it is my honor
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: to present this award to Reverend Susanna Bacirica, celebrating the
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: 25th anniversary of the Vigil for Peace and Ecology. The
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Vigil began as an annual gathering in Central Park in
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: celebration of the International Day of Peace, bringing people together
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: for peace, unity, and our beloved planet. Reverend Susanna couldn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: be with us today, so I'm honored to accept this
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: award on her behalf. Congratulations, Reverend Susanna, and thank you
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: for your extraordinary dedication of peace.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a beautiful, it says honoring Suzy, actually it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Reverend Suzy Bacerica, 25 years of leadership vigil for peace
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and ecology, September 21st, 2026. Andrew Cain, who happens to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: like my salmon burgers, and Planet Heart. I will also say, though,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that I would not be here if it wasn't for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Reverend Susanna Basterica and James Cannings. So Susanna contacted me
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: 20 plus years ago, 24, 25, 16,000 years ago and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: said to me, would you host this event, which we
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: used to do in the band shell in Central Park, okay?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: And they would be shows that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Would start at nine in the morning We'd have like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't even know if we had microphones.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: And then we would have, we would just, maybe.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Of Gloria with the peace parrots, and then we'd have booths,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and it just was a free-for-all for peace. It was
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: called the Vigil for Peace, because she worked at the UN,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and she taught me about the International Day of Peace,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and then we continued on, and this is where we are,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and without her and James Cannings and all these lovely people,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: this day would not occur, and without the audience and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the community. It's a community, local, yokel show. All right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Thank you. Would you like to say, everybody
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: just say a little quickie, quickie, quickie.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Elle Pellegrino of Age New Beginnings. And when
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: I met Susan Bastarica, it was a magical experience, full
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: of love. We have all gone to the UN. We've
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: all done many different things of supporting peace. And when
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: you have ever experienced one of her events in Central Park,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: the most exquisite people in the world, just like this
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: incredible gentleman right here.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: I'm so happy to support Paul. He is a man
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: of peace. And Rick and all of my friends, we
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: are here for peace. May peace prevail on earth.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Beautiful. Robert Perenza, who unbelievably Got a new car.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And thank God he got his new car, because his
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: new car was able to bring the piano here today,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and the microphones here today, and the stools back here. Remember,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: home is going to go on at 5.30, God willing.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And we're just moving along. And Robert has created... What
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: did you do?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: What did I do?
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: I brought him down here 50 times for Earth Day
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: and Peace Day. I've been making these for over 45 years.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: Almost every ambassador at the UN has gotten one or
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: bought one at the bookstore. Every president since Jimmy Carter.
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: The one we're dealing with now did not get one.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: And it's been up on the space station since 2005,
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: I think. And it probably came over us once or
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: twice while we've been here. And that's about a little
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: over 100,000 orbits, my Earth, and there's a moon and
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: a Mars. New York City school system uses this.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: In their resolving conflict program.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: If my New York friends out there want to contribute
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: to the.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Morningside Center at St.
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: John's Divine, They are a big reason I'm still here
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: and the Hug of Planets are still here. And before
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: some of our other mayors in here, they already had
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: 10 years and crime has dropped in New York since
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: the New York students have them. So that program has
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: gone around.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: And I could go on for hours, but here you go, Paul.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Come on, you couldn't do that. What are you kidding?
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: You could never do that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, Robert has so much in him, he has so
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: much to share, just like everybody on this stage, okay?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: These are all do-gooders, and that's a beautiful thing. Quickly,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: there's a television. Anybody ever hear of television? All right,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: what is that over there?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Hello, everybody.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: My name is Peter Rogina, and what you see here
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: is Peace Lights. Peace Lights was co-created with Eileen Felix
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: in 2015. These flowing lights have played all around the
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: world and symbolized peace. They've been adopted by peace organizations
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: from 19 countries as their international symbol of peace. The
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: colors represent the different cultures in the world. Not the countries,
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: not the religions, not the races, but the cultures. The
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: motion represents how those cultures interact and work together to
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: achieve harmony and peace and good energy. It says the
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: word peace lights in 55 different languages. We always chose
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: the holiest form of the word light. That was like
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: seven or eight languages. And finally, it's kind of known
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: for its good energy. Wherever Peace Lights plays around the world,
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: people are encouraged to project their own thoughts and intents
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: for peace into the lights and add to the collective
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: energy now peace lights is literally played on seven continents
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: was brought to Antarctica last year by a retired Marine
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: and his retired Air Force wife and it's played over
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: a hundred times at United Nations related events 12th time
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: here today and has led to other NGOs that are
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: now in 30 countries in Africa. And it's always great
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: to be here. Thank you very much to Paul and
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: all of the organizers, all the people behind me, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: Susana Bastarica's involvement in the Vigils for Peace were very,
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: very early involved and made a big difference to the
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: trajectory of Peace Lights.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: So, thank you very much. Great, thank you, Peter. Thank you, Peter.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: A new friend, this guy's an interesting friend, All right,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: he's doing something called blockchain and Bitcoin. All right, how
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: many people have a Bitcoin and they bought it for $ 1, 000
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: or $ 50 or they bought it for $ 2, 000?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Do I hear three? Do I hear four? Do I
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: hear five? Who has a Bitcoin? Oh, do I hear 10?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Do I hear 50?
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: 100?
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, it was 100.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: These people are hurting. It now went down to 80. Okay,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: so let's No.
• 11:16
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So he has this whole conference. He has this conference
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: called Blockchain. Tell us about it. He did it right
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: here at the Hard Rock. We had the lovely bling
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: ladies come over and perform.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I spoke. It was nice. I tried to get a
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Bitcoin out of everybody in the room. I did not succeed.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: So this is your chance to tell your community that
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: International Day of Peace needs to give me a Bitcoin
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and Maria, who's now here, Maria, who's talking to Michelle,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a Bitcoin, and Michelle a Bitcoin, and Sonny a Bitcoin,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and my wife, wherever she is, and everybody else in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: this room.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: All right, go ahead. Let's see what you do now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 13: Well, thank you so much, Paul. It's a real honor
• 12:03
  Speaker 13: to be here with everybody. And, you know, we've been
• 12:05
  Speaker 13: interviewing people and singing. And, you know, guys, it's a
• 12:09
  Speaker 13: really amazing moment that's being put together here by Paul Slakis,
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: led by Paul Slakis. The International, the United Nations International
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: Day for Peace, the Pause the World for Peace concert.
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: So hats off to you, Paul Slakis, for making this
• 12:24
  Speaker 13: all happen. We just did Blockchain Week. Blockchain Week UNGA edition,
• 12:30
  Speaker 13: and we did it right here in Times Square and
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: some other different locations as well. And the reason we
• 12:35
  Speaker 13: put it together was because we saw that or we
• 12:39
  Speaker 13: felt that people didn't have a voice. And we wanted people,
• 12:42
  Speaker 13: normal people, to have a voice. And that's kind of
• 12:44
  Speaker 13: what blockchain is all about. distributed ledger, being able to
• 12:48
  Speaker 13: hold your own keys, hold your own money. So it's blockchainweek.ai and,
• 12:53
  Speaker 13: you know, peace in the community is really important in
• 12:57
  Speaker 13: the blockchain community.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I always say, as we.
• 13:00
  Speaker 13: grow and work together and learn that across borders, across
• 13:05
  Speaker 13: race and religion and creed, we all believe in the
• 13:08
  Speaker 13: same things. We believe in freedom, privacy, and we believe
• 13:11
  Speaker 13: in ownership. And those three things we can agree on.
• 13:13
  Speaker 13: And we don't have to agree on anything else, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 13: we can agree on those three things and work together
• 13:18
  Speaker 13: to make the world a better place.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: And I'm really honored and I'm humbled. You gave me
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the mic, sir. Paul Slakis. Check us out.
• 13:26
  Speaker 13: We'll be back again next year, blockchainweek.ai. Blockchain Week, UNGA edition.
• 13:32
  Speaker 13: Thank you so much.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, Bruce, thank you. Listen, I want to add one
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: thing about blockchain and this new AI and new technologies
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. because I've spoke a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: couple times about it. I don't know that much about it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: My wife knows more than I do. But one of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the things that I spoke about since we do Earth Day,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: we're concerned about Mother Earth, we're concerned about the environment,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and we're going to soon have a whole environmental outreach here,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is that one of the things that is of interest
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: is the fact that we potentially won't need money if
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: more blockchain and use of Bitcoin and use of electronic
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: media money occurs. So think of all the money, if
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you ever, I don't know the statistic, but how much
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: paper made of cotton or linen is used for money.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Then nickel, that's a natural resource. You gotta dig it
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: up to make a nickel, okay? And so on and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: so forth. So there is some advantages. We also know
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: there's some concerns. Data centers are being talked about, worrying
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: about the pollution, water, and so on, electrical usage.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: But let's all pray.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Let's pray, because it's here, and I don't think it's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, AI. Let's pray that it gets resolved. Let's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: pray the data centers end up in technically an advanced
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: way that they don't need so much electricity. Let's pray
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that either they put it up in the sky and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: it doesn't fall down on our heads. Whatever these things are,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: let's pray that some of our new technology comes along
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: with consciousness. This is a show about consciousness. Om's whole
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: show will be about calming of the brain, calming of
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: your mind, calming of your being. Let's all take a breath.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: We're going to do something for our ancestors now.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Donna.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to forget Heidi. I love Heidi.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Use this mic. We're going to do something. Please explain
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: what it's all about. They saved my life twice. What
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: do they call that place? Mount Sinai.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Hello, my name is Donna Tsufuda-Diaco and I honor these
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: peace efforts by all the people here and especially Paul
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: for bringing us together as a family for peace. So
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I work with many, many NGOs and I know the
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: power of culture to bring us all together. So we
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: are here, I'm here to celebrate that our ancestors with
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: all of all of us and we're going to do
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: this with a little dance it's from a Japanese ceremony
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a bone from the Obon festival that honors ancestors we
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: welcome the spirit of our ancestors and they have many
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: dances and powerful drumming and one of the dances is
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: tanko bushi the coal miners dance okay And so we're
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: going to do just a little excerpt from it. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I would love for everyone to join in. You in
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: the audience can either stand up or in the chair
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: and follow with the movements. And it's a way to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: think of somebody you love who have contributed to your
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: life and to the world. And we're honoring them with
• 17:13

• 20:50
  Speaker 1: up here from Austin, Texas, okay? Does anybody know where
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Austin is? Last time, she was in Nashville doing some shows.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: She's part of the We the World Tour, which is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: part of Rick Ulfic and the We organization. Who would
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: drive half of America to be here to sing one,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: two songs?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: She's milking me. No, two songs, okay? Who would do that?

• 21:29
  Speaker 4: She receives credit? Oh, she's the greatest? She is the greatest.

  Speaker 1: Plus, she's helping young people, helping those that are in need,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: those that are challenged children. She's no fooling around woman.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: She gets it done. She even made one of our logos.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: She's unbelievable. She's fantastic. And she deserves a little more reverb,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: so it sounds like six Heidi's. All right, we're doing

  Speaker 1: really well here. We're doing really well. We still have,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Andreas is going to come up here. He's going to

  Speaker 1: do something before then. And I kind of think, oh, well,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I guess they're not going to do another show. But
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: we were going to have the Bling do some more.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But I think they have to go on a plane
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and fly away back to Chicago. Okay, Heidi Little. But
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know where you have your mic. But you
