If there’s one man you should trust, it is the Janny boy.
he looks at maps with george cloon
He's a macho muscle pumping crying GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!
when hand grenades are flyin', there's just one man you can trust: JAN EGELAND!
Mad dictator with a gun? Send in Jan Egeland!
When he's sad, he goes to funerals, in unusually heavy rain
@@derimik15 Large amounts of water in his face; but that doesn't hide his pain
Ylvis lol
He's a macho muscle pumping crying god!
Oh my God, what a plan!!😍😍😍
Not as famous as Gahr Støre
Not a daddy's boy like jens
But when handgrenades are flying
There's just one man you can trust
JAN EGELAND! Good message. ( Ylvis was right, he pumps iron. )
An amazing lecture. Lots of love n respect from India.
Came here via Ylvis….but love this man for his idealism and speech ❤️🙏
we the biggest democracy in the world can relate to what he said dividing people based on religion is truly worrisome
Isn't it just possible that the real problem is we do not even have a democracy still?
@@aylbdrmadison1051 yes true, democracy seems like an illusion shown to us just to keep the people in control....
@@aylbdrmadison1051 Well how do you you think so? By the way Vajpayee without majority and Modi with majority are the only non-Gandhi PM's who were able completed a full term.
even heavy rain at funerals doesn't hide this man's pain....
He's a macho musclepumping...CRYING GOD!
Would be a great pleasure to meet this man soon!
It's greed, it blocks true empathy :( reputation and revenue over survival and struggles :( this makes me sad, this is the reason why I'm studying law, to become a judge and sentence every greedy politician with the most harsh punishment, if my jurisdiction can reach outside my country
The problem is that refugees don't want to go to certain countries in Europe. They only want countries such as Germany, Italy and the UK. For example, I live in Portugal and, as a country, we have expressed that we are willing to receive some refugees. However, few of them come here.
you understand that they get to Italy and Germany first due to logistics? Nothing in a refugee life is by choice!!
@@nisoZ First, refugees do have a choice. You always have a choice. The consequences of staying in their home country might be too big but they do have the choice to stay even if it ins't the best choice.
Second, they aren't powerless. They might not have the easiest life but they do have power to do things. For example, they have the power to leave their country in search for a better life.
Third, just because they get there first doesn't mean they can't"move out". Some of them do. What I'm saying is that some simply don't want to. And I know this from experience
Got a notification that you sent a response but I can't see it. Changed your mind or someone took it down?
Powerful and inspiring. Thank you Jan Egeland, for being such an amazing rolemodel, and for giving this message in these times, when it is truely needed.
Great speech and stats chief! Proud to serve with you. I hope the world listens and takes remedial action.
Great talk! Very insightful
Humanitarian aid = child abduction and drug smuggling. See Oxfam, Clinton Foundation, the white hats/helmets !
@stormthepitbull : Those things are not even remotely connected. Although I do see you trying to create a connection. Is there something you'd like to confess?
He plays golf with Kofi Annan, and looks at map with George Cloon
United Nations Super hero man.
Make Administration Great Again .. 2020
Amazing topics you gave and tell the politics to stop killing the humanitarian worker, thank you
50% of this comments section: “Wow, what an interesting video, he really makes a lot of good points on how to make the world a better, more peaceful, place.”
Other 50%: “HES A MACHO MUSCLEPUMPING…CRYING GAAAAWD!”
I wish I was Jan egeland❤
Sharing, Justice and Peace for All.
Amazing man being you are🙏🌷
Oh how I wish I was Jan Egeland
Thought this was Gordon Ramsay in the thumbnail.
Don't know who Gordon is but if he has a heart and passion half as that of Jan here then I would love to know him. Jan I know, he is my global leader. A great voice for the voiceless in a world that cares only for politically correct language. With him nothing is taboo when it comes to standing up to the world on behalf of refugees and IDPs. He fires from the hip - double barreled.
politics can destroy everything that stands in the way. But politics is killing humanitarian aid!! Of course we have to fix it..
Rid of the President Trump, as it is important to look at this very closely.
@@margobellamy6447 again with this socialist rant? I cannot believe how the blindness brought up by hatred for Donald Trump make people forsake the real problem. The economy in US is thriving, unemployment is at historical lows, the President is keeping his promises, plus giving out of his own pocket, but stupidity and arrogance make some people blind. The politics that stands in the way is the liberal, make no mistake.
Thanks sir
Great speech from a great aid worker.
was a most helpful conference in tedx ı thınk
It is immoral at best to support ideas that promote the *power and comfort* of the few over the *health and welfare* of the whole.
Aylbdr Madison that's why we shouldn't give power and comfort to the "few" million immigrants that come to the west, instead look after sick and poor we already have. It's very immoral not to look after our own, I agree 🤔
Respect Mr. Engeland…! Geez
Rich countries are so disproportionately rich it's not even funny. The only way capitalism works for everyone is if you have to spend money to make money and the relatively little amount the rich have to spend by paying minimum wage etc. to make the ludicrous amount of money that they make should be a crime. If the lower class had more money more people would be generous with it I'm sure and charities like Doctor's Without Borders etc. would be able to help out countries in crisis without needing the government to give any more to foreign aid (though they definitely should).
that is the will of those that control money, that is what they want , for people to suffer. After all , 'money' is just papers and numbers. If they would care about life and people and love , we would not have been bound by it , but again if they did that , they would lose satisfaction of superiority on the lower money people and they would lose their pathetic influence.
That makes them the lowest' people' on the face of the earth.
But it is ok , since the universe that we are part of , that gave us live , is balanced. They will get what they deserve.
Thanks.
Thank you so much sir, your concept is excellent, I salute you.
The United Nations Superhero Man! 😮
powerful speech! 💥
This week l was thinking about the climate strike and l’ve realised that we, as humanity, have much more problems to fix, before make a mundial strike about climate changes. We have a lot of more important humanitarian issues, like wars and starving people, that requires urgent strikes. Doesn’t matter saving the world only for a few people while a lot of them are dying softly.
The title gave me hope for a good Ted video.
Talking about reality with nothing but facts.
Polititions are ruining lives.
Conservatives are so obviously leading that ruination.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 It's everyone, let's be honest here
The United Nations superhero Man
❤❤
Thinking of every single person benefits the other person as well.
Ylvis brought me here.
*He looks like FaceApp-ed Gordon Ramsey* !
_No offence though_
EDIT : I made the joke before watching the video. But honestly, the talk is very powerful, like it makes me rethink some of my thoughts and beliefs.
BRUUUUUH!! LMFAO. Don't disrespect Gordon Ramsay like that!! 😂😂😂😂
@@judemorgan1798 I hope Gordon doesn't watch TED 😅
Make the suffering countries better, and don't let them in unless they come with peace and legally. This should fix it.
"Peace and legally" you should send that to the US military industrial complex.
A person cannot be in support of making countries better if they support the conservatives. The conservatives are historically the greatest oppressors of third world countries.
If the problem is created by polotics it has to be fixed by politically. We can't blame them and stay back. Political ignorance is dangerous in democracy
Rakesh, in many cases when politicians mess, they send in the soldiers who proceed to bomb and destroy everything in their path that the politicians could not touch . The resident have no choice but to flee, and then the world lethargically awakens and mobilizes humanitarians to go clean up the mess and help the traumatized, brutalized and often sickly and poverty stricken people to return home - only no homes and then assist them to rebuild livelihoods. I love this job! Seeing people revive is deeply rewarding. It is not just the money, or posh hotels, conferencing as one post has put it. We touch and transform real human lives, and I can tell you stories that would bring tears to your eyes.
I’m here bc of the song, too. lol
Сжальтесь. Где перевод?
Let start in home, we are all suffering because we are at the bottom of the list, they are using taxpayer funds to help the world and we needed here, stop the ripped off.
I don’t know this guy, but I can tell he has nice legs and drinks his protein shakes 👍🏼
❤️❤️🌹🌹
Why is he not wearing his Ray-bans and head ribbon?
Alternativ Title: "Real-Politics are mean and unfair"
today I will stand in this stage one day ❤🤗🌹
I don't know why but this guy looks like he was a macho musclepumping crying god
What is the point? I have low English..
So do many Americans, and that's why things are so messed up here now.
Paper towel free throws! What more could you need? (sarcasm)
MAKE the LAND greAT Again! And give WATER for FREE! Give enough PLACE to LIVE in a SELForiginated FIELD, MY FIELD and who wants to share, can COME!
COUNT-RY or CO-UN-TRY or COW-AND-THEIR-EYE? What does COUNTER-Y mean?
So what. If I spend my money on I cream once a week
No problem, as long as you share some with that homeless guy in the hood, you should okay. And even if you don't you are still okay, someone else will, it is your money. So chill dude, do not burst a vein.
Elvis send in Jan Egeland
how about the politics that sees canadian aid going mostly to women? or syrian males discriminated against by canada? is this speakers politics killing humanitarian aid?
Let's fix it. Not lets.
it's not Ziploc , it's Ziplock.
Fotty yes
If your personal wealth hits a billion by law you must work in the field feeding the worlds starving and housing the homeless 2 months a year , if business hits a billion CEOs must work 2 mths of the year cleaning up the environment using 5% of the companies profit ..
No getting to pick where or what all draw from the hat .
Id say after "living" in these people lives rather than just on watching tv etc things might change , is it human to have a billion dollars in your pocket and watch kids starve to death first hand rather than helping ? ,,,, i hope not
Dont be making us feel bad mate we cant fix the politics we get euthanised on impact of opening our mouths . Let politics do what ever it wants . Ir will do anyway . Time to stop crying and just live on .
Are you so weak and lacking in faith of your personal beliefs that others can actually *make you feel things?* If so, maybe it's time to have the courage to question those beliefs yourself.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 faith IS weakness sweetheart .
@@Super-qr7wm faith IS strength of heart. It's the will that allows you to follow a path. Without that path you would be influenced by the paths that are most close to you. Therefore it is strength , strength of diversity.
@@samuraiwolf8200 well said.
Where is the auditing of the money being given as aid. Is the aid going to governments to be used on war instead of the people.
I am a humanitarian David. You should see the number of reviews, internal and external audits conducted per donor funded projects. In fact in my view, time spend on these eats into project delivery time but we understand they are very necessary. Sometimes incidences that highlight some few cases of malpractices here and there is over hyped to the extend that the majority good is lost in the brouhaha that is often generated and blown out of all proportions by the skewed press. Believe you me, if there was no NRC, DRC, ARC, UNHCR et al in Somalia, Northern Uganda, South Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, Nigeria, Colombia, Venezuela, Haiti etc.; then the recent immigration issues in Europe mentioned in this presentation by Jan would look like child's play.
Palestine's problem are of there own making. Most Palestinian aid given goes to pay for slay, and the rest of the aid goes to make Palestinian managers very rich.
Their*
Send them all to the South Pole if you think it’s warming so much
Why did you not speak about the war against palestinians by Israel and how many hundred thousands of civilians are displaced and taken from their own lands by force and by killing if they refuse to give Israel their own lands?!?!
they have attention, thats why. This was about the ignored.
This guy is a nut case lefty.
And you're a delusioned westerner living life like it's a conspiracy. What a joke your people have become. "MaKe aMerIca gReAt aGain" KEK
