that you could the british mr west i am with you. i don't think the democrats very much moved in the negotiation with the republicans or president trump so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by or internal our total bickering in affairs. so i walk into. my own body i have a body. found in self in the public mind but then he became this brown and spokesman for handicapped children.

over the years alvin would make appearances on telephones across the country. not better than other people. because i'm not a handicapped person. but people get it wrong. they look at alvin lonnie thank god it's tremendous how you can do things with his feet well i suppose if you look at your feet it's tremendous but these are my feet these are my hands too and i have been doing it forever these are not tremendous feet is the only thing that i've got so when i pick up a cup and i have a drink you know. wow what a thrill it is i do think. thanks. i thought and i was going to have to be

a nine. i didn't think that i was going to go on dates i didn't know what was going to happen and that that's not how it happened i had a great high school run i mean you know i had a lot of fun i have my friends i have too much fun and if you're like me and my friends you drive around and look for holes and you go skinny and that's what we did for entertainment. i have a problem with girls i could always get a very nice girls beautiful girls intelligent girls but they couldn't get the stupid one. and i wanted the stupid. one night stand but that i never achieved she was wearing glasses maybe notice. how. i found my now why yes when she was sixteen and.

maybe you call it a lack of opportunity but i'm still with her. she was long and not stupid. for most of the miters getting behind the wheel of a car was the road to independence and freedom. the ways mason was determined to drive no matter how difficult it was for her just his equate to get behind the wheel and do our best. driving instructor to never have a shot tonight save. somebody. but the test. was exactly the same as everyone else there's no difference they came so natural it's not be driving. me most of my life and.

my parents they were the most practical people i think i've ever met in my entire life so when it came to learning how to drive. that was just practical that way you can get around on your own you know it depend on people to take care of you don't have to worry about. taking a bus or use your cam and it was really just about trying to figure it out. and i just love driving when i got a lot of different things about to do. most people don't consider the power of my mind and i'm my mind is very powerful tool and it get into it interjects all kinds of things into my system so that my feet are literally. my hands so when it comes to driving. i get really seriously and i have high explain why can't i can drive with one foot on the wheel what is peoples excuse they've got both hands and their feet and yet they drive like. this doesn't exist. in germany.

knew from an. early age he had to choose a future occupation that would not require the use of his deformed arms as altos leaving true for the sick so to meet on the phone from bitches about him and some other fortissimo i realized quite soon i'm never will be a conductor or a painter or a dancer i can't sing so i become a director because i don't know i can't do anything else and i'm going to pursue his dream nico went to prestigious film schools and apprenticed under the legendary german director rayner vernon fast binder before making a number of successful feature films but there was one prize job he wanted badly directing a big movie until it in mind and the head of german t.v. said no you can't have the job but you can make a documentary on. it so that i might and i said you know i you know i think

that was income and i shouted at him i use the f. word very loudly and very often because i said i apply for the job you know you pay well and not a documentary filmmaker who gets paid you know and that's all typical you know you give the disabled guy the side job you know and then i went home and my wife said what's the matter and i told her they want me to do a film about the little mite. and what do i know about the little might go. and she looked at me and said they go it's time to look the devil in the. i don't know what your lives are like sometimes life can really be rough on people i understand that i get it i've been in real life alvin law is a motivational speaker who's influenced audiences in north america and australia with his message of hope is specially to more than two million youngsters who heard his top speaking is the best thing i could have ever cited here you're helping kids

and they need to have somebody come in and tell them that it's going to be ok but i get such tremendous joy out of doing it there is nothing in my life that makes you happier than speaking to kids nothing and the next time you're ready to give up or quit or back again well if it helps even a little bit remember the goofy looking guy that played the drums with his feet but remember the words i live by every day. there's no such word as can't. thanks. allen travels over one hundred thousand miles a year on his own but after thirty years on the road his body is starting to wear out it takes its toll career and that stuff around i mean you know my body may not last as long as normal bodies do because of what i'm putting it through i mean as much as i make this look easy i'm still put my body through a lot of stuff just the pain in my back from carrying my luggage scar tissue in my

shoulder from carrying a briefcase for thirty five years and you know there's not really a shoulder here so what i'm carrying it with i should be doing this i should have like a sherpa or something. how does a guy without arms function on the road all by himself i carry my own luggage with straps i check into all tells all on my own i i rent cars my keys there you go oh thank you boston my toes think you are now why do i rent cars and it's just how i prefer to function i don't do cabs because strangely they don't stop when you go. still trotting around going to airports checking into hotels eat bad food driving everywhere in the middle of nowhere getting involved in blizzards and swearing at my wife for putting me out yet in another life and death situation and not think about getting paid enough so i mean i can get on a rant but at the end of the day she also says this line this is a wonderful line. i mean if you're tired of traveling i'm sure there's a cubicle with your name written out in a windowless office somewhere in the middle of nowhere for a mundane job that you minutes. and then it goes away.

in germany. had to overcome his lifetime aversion to others to limit is when he decided to make a documentary in which he and eleven other victims would pose nude for a calendar first i went to disability school and from that moment on i wanted to have nothing to do with the largest anymore and then because i made this film nobody's perfect i was kind of forced to me. to make this film. i want to look at myself. running come on nobody's perfect change as. it changed how i look at myself. it changed the movement of so that i might it's complete because the first lawyer

you are still your. and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is all off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with all make this manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the running closest and protect themselves. when the crime and merry go round lives only the one percent.

we can all middle of the room sick. to lose any more you leave the room. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need

when his first wife sandy became pregnant alvin law was terrified about what the future held when i saw him come out of there with two arms and. two hands and five little fingers on. i didn't care what brand he was at all or if it was a she or he and it didn't matter. it was just the most tremendous feeling my son. wrote back i worried a lot about how i was going to play ball with them i was going to maybe try to know what i call them teach them to play frisbee and teach them to throw all you know i mean all those things that you want to have a care if yours do. we don't have to have arms to be a father. you don't need arms to love. you don't you know arms to be there. i don't

mean arms to listen you don't need arms to be a father at all and unfortunately too many fathers that have arms don't realize that. they were forget that that's true you just have to be there for him. and that surprised me. the tears i don't know i'm not sad i'm just. as big he was a little and. i miss that little boy sometimes but that's not how life works right is a normal regular person he's got the same regular personalities nothing really wrong about it and you just have to step in knowing you can't just judging by the way he looks what he brings and what he gives is much more so than anything i could bring you know he he gives great you know fatherly advice he's a great role model is a great person. and that's all you can ask. louise

a lot of the head or a mannerism you pick up you know a little more if you just pick up on it what it is though that sticks then you know it really is really fascinating where we communicate he would go there without even talking. and i think we all think we were made for it too that we are. and i remember thinking twenty years all divorced got a kid losing my hair gaining a gut no arm what a package and then i got to thinking you know i've got to change this that's how alan introduce him to our to the future wife. sitting in the audience one day that conference was the first time i heard him speak in it actually believe tonight sounds corny but it was a life changing event for me i was in the process of. considering making a final decision about rather unhappy marriage. i thought yeah right life is too short i have to make decisions for myself. i mean anybody that sees her for the

first time missed that smile and just absolutely and i melted. a friend to tell me that i smiled more the day of my wedding than they've ever seen me smile in my entire life and it was permanently glued there for days that was the beginning of the joy that ended in that ring going on and it's still there today. you can't even describe it just like all these years of anxious and frustration just melted away in five minutes. you still right. he had light of leather she's passed her best before date so she's got no choice you've got to stick with me about there's no option no me. there i don't stop traffic. you know you don't bear us there down. the. lows just like anybody else. can better and.
