Explanation:

This clue plays on the well-known "TED Talks," a popular series of short, powerful speeches on various topics. The blank represents the missing word, and since "TED" is the name of the organization behind these talks, it fits perfectly. The clue relies on cultural familiarity with the phrase rather than wordplay or puns.
