  Speaker 1: Okay, peace and love everybody, peace and love. Yes, my
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: name is Ringo and I'm here to make you aware
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on the 21st of September, it's the International Day and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Moment of Peace. So I'm here on behalf of the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: UN General Secretary to let you know that at noon
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on the 21st that we can have a moment of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: silence for peace. I'm going to have my moment now. Oh,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I feel good. Peace and love, everybody.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You're watching the Peace Day, global internet broadcast celebrating the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: United Nations International Day of Peace.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: So today I want everyone here to commit to join
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the quest for peace. Go forward in the struggle for
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: peace with passion and compassion The future of this world
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: is in your hands.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe we've been looking for peace in the wrong place,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: as something the world must become, when perhaps the world
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: is always becoming what we bring to it. Every thought,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: every interaction, every choice, moving from one of us to another.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Until what begins within becomes something we create together. In
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Times Square, we felt that possibility. Not a perfect world,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: but thousands of people remembering that we are not separate
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: from the world we wish to change. We are creating it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Together.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Peace starts within.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Let's all thank, big time, the borough president of Manhattan,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: Brad Holyman Segal.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Because without him, we could not come here.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Very simple, okay?
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: It's told us to get back to normal But normal's
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: so far from my mind I'm looking for some kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: of closure.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: To leave all this sadness behind.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: I've always been a friend for quite a while. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: to be able to sing with her has been a
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: joy for me. And to sing this particular song, because
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: it was something that came from her heart, and it
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: said everything she wanted to say, I felt so privileged
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: and so proud to be able to do that for her.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: And you saw.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: The guiding light.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, peace like a river flowing on. Sweet peace. Sweet peace.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Wash me down, Lord. Oh, wash me clean, Lord.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Wash me clean.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Wash me clean.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: In your living water.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: He is the answer.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: To all questions. To all prayers.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And to all pleas.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: In desperation.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Desperation. Upward to the soul and mind.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Soul and mind.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: He is peace.
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: He is peace.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Like a river. Like a river. He is peace.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: He is peace.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Here we go baby, let's play kissing good kissing good.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I want to shout out to my beautiful friend, Reverend
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Paul Slackus, who's produced this wonderful event of peace and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: love for 24 years. A lot of work goes into this.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We had a little situation today, but the show goes
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: on thanks to his heart and the whole team here.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: We love you, Paul. My name is John Pasquale, although
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: many of you know me as Soho Johnny. It's an
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: honor to be here today to speak about peace, compassion,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and the importance of helping one another. I grew up
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in the Bronx where music became one of my great
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: passions of my life, which taught me that people from
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: completely different backgrounds could come together in harmony. As an entrepreneur,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I did real estate, particularly in Soho, through peprealestate.com, which
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: provides commercial pop-ups and long-term locations all throughout Soho West Village.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Real estate has never only been about storefronts. It's about
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: people and communities. My love of music eventually brought me
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: into entertainment, producing events and promoting artists through Tribeca Records,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: New Era Music. However, one of the most important chapters
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of my life came from one of the most painful.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: During the pandemic, I lost my mom, like many of
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: us have lost loved ones. She taught me that kindness
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: is never wasted and that when someone needs help, you
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: do what you can. It's a mandate, it's an obligation
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of our humanity.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: To the Lord Jesus Christ On that day We will
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: sing Holy, holy, holy, holy On that day We'll bow.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Down in the light.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: The Gold Ribbon Tech Initiative, we take your gently used
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: or old technology, we refurbish it or sell it, and
• 7:18

  Speaker 9: doing today. So today we're going to offer Dream Jefferson
• 7:24

• 7:55
  Speaker 8: God bless you.
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: Yay.
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: So my name is Heidi Little, and I decided a
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago I was going to move into
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Aria Lightness, which is a stage name that I made
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: for a musical in 2017.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: So.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: I'm a part of something called We the World Tour.
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: And for the last 30 years, I kind of pioneered
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: social-emotional learning in 1993, if you all have heard about
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: that education system, connecting people with the heart, the inner
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: guidance system, connecting with our purpose, gifts, and mission. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: We the World Tour, I've also been the volunteer director
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: of International Children's Month for 14 years.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: And.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: I got together with Ludwig Nobel from the Nobel Peace
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: Prize family, my co-producer Lawrence Freiberg, who was Michael Jackson's
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: director of management for his studios for 25 years, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: Rick Ulfick from We The World, and Rick Lukens from
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: Live Aid, and we've all joined forces to create this
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: We The World tour.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: Hello, New York.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Great to see you. We're going to try something a
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: little different. We're gonna do what's like a fairytale, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: a sustainable fairytale, or sustainable. So let me start. Once
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: upon a time, on the first day of spring, that's
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: chapter one, the children woke up early, as they often do.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Little Zoe reached the meadow first, still wet with morning dew.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: She waited for her favorite sound, the bumblebee's buzz, but
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: no sound came round. No bees, no birds, no butterflies.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: The meadow stood still. Something was missing from here all
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: the way to the hill. You'd think the grown-ups would
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: have realized it upon sight, but adults are busy from
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: morning until night.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: To not just imagine.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: But do.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Imagine all four people living life in peace.
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: You may say I'm a dreamer, but
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: I'm not the only one.
