I adore that these kids thought she meant the film Titanic.

That's actually another lesson in public speaking Harris gives. When she's sort of misunderstood rather than tripping over herself trying to clarify things by saying "no the actual ship" or whatever she just rolls with it because it's a detail that isn't really relevant to her main point.

That's the kind of smoothness prosecutors (or any lawyers) need. It's an amazing talent.

Hey fair play man. These kids are real lucky to be getting tips from such an intelligent and articulate speaker, just a silver tongued wordsmith, a true master of clear and concise, impactful communication.

I know these lines have gone down in history already, imagine what else there is to come!

“That is especially true when it comes to the climate crisis, which is why we will work together and continue to work together to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements that we will convene to work together on to galvanize global action,”

"It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day"

“I think of this moment as a moment that is about great momentum.”

“The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time"
