	You automatically become a part of it, but you got to see it live.
	Hearing a recorded version of a Go-Go song, it don't really do nothing for you.
	But if you see it live, then you can automatically embrace it.
	Because Go-Go music is a live field.
	You right there with it.
	You right there with it.
	You can't stay still.
	Especially when I look around the world by me traveling so many places.
	I can see that living in America has been a blessing to me.
	People living in poverty.
	People are poor.
	People don't have water.
	They don't have clothes.
	They don't have food and shelter.
	I'm free.
	So this means a lot to me.
	Whatever your dream is, go get it.
	Nobody can stop you but you.
	Believe in yourself, apply yourself, and be the best you can be.
	This is Sugar Bear.
	This is our American story.
	Welcome back.

	Today, government officials and tech leaders meet for a cybersecurity summit to discuss President Trump's new national cyber strategy, artificial intelligence, critical infrastructure, and supply chains.
	You can watch that live at 3.45 p.m. Eastern on C-SPAN.
