1 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,000 Hello, everyone. This is Rumble with Michael 2 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,200 Moore and I am Michael Moore. Good to talk to you all again. 3 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,400 I've been gone for a couple of weeks but I take a couple weeks 4 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,500 off. It's August. 5 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,100 I wish I could say that I went on. 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,700 A vacation somewhere. I did not do that. 7 00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:40,000 Instead, I thought I'd take some time to just chill and make some 8 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,800 plans here for the fall in the winter specifically being 9 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,700 involved. As I am helping different people 10 00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:50,200 around the country with the election coming up in November 11 00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:53,400 and figure out what's the best way I can make my contribution 12 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,300 so I'm not going to get into that too much right now but 13 00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,500 that's what I did on my summer vacation. 14 00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,500 So I've been gone for a couple of weeks. 15 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,100 And I thought, what I do I don't know this is probably because I 16 00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,400 went to Catholic school and started this little bit of guilt 17 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,100 attached to this, you know. You haven't been doing your your 18 00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:16,100 podcast, you have been doing your sub stack here for the last 19 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,500 couple weeks or so. So I feel like I have to do 20 00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:21,400 makeup work, not that I have to, but there's so many things have 21 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,300 been wanting to say what's been going on the last couple of 22 00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,100 weeks. So probably do another one or 23 00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,700 two here Linux, couple days just to catch up, and then I've got 24 00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:31,900 some writing I want to do and I want to share that with you too 25 00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:36,400 on my Sub stack, for all of you who receive this via sub stack, 26 00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:40,100 some stacking, watch this, great platform, or it's free for 27 00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,700 people to use, you can start your own blog or your own 28 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,900 podcast and send it out to people via some stack. 29 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,000 That's what I've been doing now for I think it was about a year 30 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,500 ago this week, no pay wall.

Thank you. 45 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,000 All of you have been with me this first year. 46 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,400 I've really enjoyed doing this. When I just want to do nothing 47 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,900 and just relax, that's what I do. 48 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,200 I just get on the computer or the keyboard there wherever I am 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,900 and I just start writing in some ways. 50 00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,500 It's maybe a blessing and a curse. 51 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,300 I'm lucky that I'm able to do that and I'm glad that I enjoy 52 00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:04,300 it. And it's also, if any of you are 53 00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:07,000 writers or you've tried writing or whatever, you know that 54 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,200 writing is, also it stimulates the self-loathing in all of us 55 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,700 because as soon as you write that first sentence of the first 56 00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:19,000 paragraph or page or whatever and you if you make the mistake 57 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400 of stopping to read it instead of just kind of barreling 58 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,900 through and get out what you want to say. 59 00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,400 And then you can go back and, you know, do rewrites. 60 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,600 But if you stop and you read it right away, my goal, this sucks. 61 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,500 I can stay in this. And then you hit the delete 62 00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:34,700 button and there, It goes, it's gone in the old days with 63 00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:37,600 typewriters, you'd rip the page out of the typewriter. 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,800 I can't stand this. You'd want it up and you poop it 65 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,700 into the wastebasket, but you still have the written thing 66 00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,200 that you wrote. If you wanted to go back to and 67 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,100 you thought you know I did have a good idea earlier today and 68 00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,300 you go back and you pull it out of the wastebasket, it's still 69 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,500 there. If you hit the delete button and 70 00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:56,300 you don't have, you know, a mechanism or whatever on your 71 00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:58,900 computer that saves, even your deleted stuff. 72 00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:02,700 And of course a lot of programs down, computers obvious are To 73 00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:05,100 do that. But I've tried did not get in 74 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,500 the habit of just destroying something I've just written 75 00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:12,200 simply because in that exact moment, maybe I didn't like it, 76 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,300 but it's not to say you won't like it a couple hours later. 77 00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,000 Anyways, I enjoy doing this. I enjoy talking to you on this 78 00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,300 podcast and I love hearing from you. 79 00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:25,800 So anytime you want to write me, could do that at Mike at Michael 80 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,900 more.com and I read all my emails. 81 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,500 Do not have time to answer them. Sadly, I'm sorry, but but I do 82 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:36,000 want you to know that I love your feedback, I love your ideas 83 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,700 and so if you want to write me, you can at my Kitt Michael 84 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:42,100 more.com or there's a link here on the podcast site that you're 85 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:45,400 listening to this on the link to send me a voice mail you can 86 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,600 record a one-minute voicemail and I'd love to hear those and 87 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,600 sometimes I read the mail or play the male here on the 88 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,100 podcast so I can share your feedback with others. 89 00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:56,800 So just know that that might happen. 90 00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:02,000 But it's been good for me to connect with you in this way and 91 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,000 To be able to share my thoughts with you in terms of, you know, 92 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,500 what's happening in the world. What I think what we should do 93 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:12,500 about it, I'm somewhat of an optimist not just to be 94 00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,000 optimistic for optimistic sake. I don't think that's good. 95 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,900 I'm not a big believer of trying to get to a place of hope, just 96 00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:22,800 to feel hope. Feeling hope is not actual whole 97 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,900 real. Hope is a belief that you and I 98 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,300 others. We can do something and we could 99 00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:36,500 see what things will look like. When we do those things so and I 100 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,700 hope it's good for you. I hope that maybe I've given you 101 00:05:38,707 --> 00:05:42,000 an idea or to encourage you to be involved. 102 00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:56,300 So I'll before I continue that I want, just take a moment here 103 00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:59,700 and thank our Underwriters for helping to sponsor this week's 104 00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:04,300 episode of Rumble.

I'm glad for the summer and I 186 00:11:30,208 --> 00:11:31,700 know this has been a rough summer. 187 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:39,300 Our weather wise, nothing new in August, I Love August to I love 188 00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:41,400 it. Does feel kind of like a month 189 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,100 where you can just maybe take a couple weeks off from doing the 190 00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:48,300 podcast or sit outside. Go for a walk. 191 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,100 Look up some old friends. You haven't spoken to in a 192 00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:53,800 while. Here's what August though, is 193 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,700 not for. School. 194 00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:00,800 Now I'm obviously, I love school. 195 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,100 I loved it. When I was in school. 196 00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,100 I'm a big believer in school, education, etc, etc. 197 00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:10,400 But why do we send kids back to school? 198 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,100 Now in August, I mean, this has been going on for a number of 199 00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:14,900 years. It started with just a little 200 00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,300 slow creeped. Remember when you know member 201 00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,600 there's no school until after Labor Day. 202 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,900 First time you were in school, is maybe the day after Labor Day 203 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,800 or the week after Labor Day. Part of it was, I'm guessing it 204 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,200 back in the day there, certainly wasn't the air conditioning or 205 00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:34,000 whatever and then if you live in certain climates, it's pretty 206 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400 hot in a classroom in the summer. 207 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,300 And so you went to school in the fall. 208 00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,300 I'm sure it had there's other reasons too, they needed the 209 00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:45,300 child labor to harvest the crops or whatever be back in the day. 210 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,800 But now now school is starting the first or second week of 211 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400 August. By the third week, it seems like 212 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,200 most people. I know that have kids in school 213 00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,900 kids are in school. I'm thinking it's the summer, 214 00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:05,500 what happened to the summer being for the kids, having the 215 00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:09,200 whole summer off. Why are they in school? 216 00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:16,300 How are they able to learn in the in when it's August outside? 217 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,100 They look how they got windows in schools. 218 00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:22,000 You know the kids can see that this is like maybe the nicest 219 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,600 month of the year. What am I doing? 220 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:28,500 Sitting in a desk? Now I know look, we've been 221 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:33,300 going through this pandemic here and kids kids have not had it. 222 00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:37,500 I've had it rough for frankly, I feel bad for kids who've had two 223 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:41,000 or three years of their education disrupted, I feel bad 224 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,300 for the teachers who have tried to do the virtual teaching from 225 00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:49,100 their own kitchen table. None of this has been good. 226 00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:53,200 It's on a number of levels, not good for learning, not good for 227 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,100 kids, growing up learning to socialize. 228 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200 Work and play well with others, all that stuff. 229 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,700 So now we're trying to get everybody back to school and the 230 00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:05,000 schools are all open, but why are they open in August? 231 00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,600 I don't understand. Am I the only one that feels I9? 232 00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:10,800 It can't be the only. First of all, if you're a kid 233 00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:13,500 and you're listening to this, I know you're with me on this, 234 00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:15,300 right? You do did not want to go back 235 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:20,800 to school on August 15th right now and I'm sure a lot of you 236 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,900 most of you hopefully love school. 237 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:26,600 You like learning you like reading new books and learning 238 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,900 to do new things, and It's just, it's just not right? 239 00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:38,500 It's just not right. You ever, I I've talked about 240 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:42,100 this before, I keep this little list like if I Amber M president 241 00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,100 of the United States and and honestly, I don't know how that 242 00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:45,400 would happen. Because first of all, I'd have 243 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,200 to run and I'm not not prone to do that. 244 00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:52,600 And then people have to vote for me and God knows what that would 245 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,600 look like. But one of the things that my 246 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,200 list is that that there's no school before Labor Day. 247 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,100 That just that should just be a law or a presidential order or 248 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,100 something. Speaking of presidential orders 249 00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:11,400 and school, though, I'm recording this right now, just a 250 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,700 few hours after President Biden. Got out his a presidential pain 251 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,000 and signed an order saying that, if you've got student loan debt, 252 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,600 if you got it from a Pell Grant, he just wiped away. 253 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Twenty thousand dollars of your debt, just like that. 254 00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,400 You don't have to pay it. And if you just kind of regular 255 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,400 loan, Ten thousand dollars got wiped away today. 256 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,600 Now I know a lot of you oh 30 40 70 hundred thousand dollars in 257 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,900 student loans. I'll talk about that in a second 258 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,100 but the way this works according to his order today is that, if, 259 00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:59,500 if you earn less than 125,000, I'm sure that's most people ten 260 00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:03,500 thousand dollars of your student debt was just eliminated today. 261 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,100 And if and if again, if the debt was from a Pell Grant, 20 262 00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,200 thousand dollars is gone. And I just saw the statistics. 263 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,000 That means, first of all, there's 45 million, minimum of 264 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,800 45 million Americans carrying the student debt. that's a lot 265 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:26,100 of people and so on that 45 million, 20 million of them 266 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:33,300 today by the stroke of Biden's pen had their entire college 267 00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:38,000 debt. Wiped away no longer owe it, 268 00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:42,900 boom gone. Just like that, 20 million 269 00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:46,300 people who at the beginning of this day. 270 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,600 Were you know up to say twenty thousand dollars in debt with 271 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,500 student loans with these Pell Grants gone no longer in debt 272 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:02,200 going to bed tonight, debt-free when it comes to the student 273 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,900 loans. I mean. 274 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,599 That's amazing. Now I am going to share my 275 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,200 criticisms about this but they're not criticisms. 276 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,800 Well the fact of that, the president just cleared away, the 277 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:25,599 debt of 20 million people mostly people who are poor the Working 278 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,800 Poor. The working class are no longer 279 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,600 settled with this debt and the others, those who make up to 125 280 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Grand a year. Got 10,000 removed. 281 00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:39,500 I mean I know you're saying to yourself. 282 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:40,800 Hey I still got another 50 Grand. 283 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,700 I got to pee but man, 10,000 10,000, right? 284 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:50,300 I mean look. As you know, I was campaigning 285 00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:53,000 out there with Bernie a couple of years ago. 286 00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:59,600 At this time and Bernie. And I, and all my friends, we 287 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,200 are in favor of you going to college for free. 288 00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,200 You should not. They should not be paying for 289 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,900 this back when we were your age. If you're a college student in 290 00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:15,400 many states, most States College was either free or nearly free, 291 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:20,100 And you weren't supposed to be in debt for the next, 20 years 292 00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:23,500 of your life, if you lived in California. 293 00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:29,100 You could go to any, you see school Berkeley Santa Barbara, 294 00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,700 San Diego. Davis, any of the UC schools. 295 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:38,200 Free free tuition free. Berkeley free. 296 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000 I think the same thing is true of the New York schools, the 297 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,600 SUNY schools, State University of New York, all of the schools 298 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:52,300 from near and around New York, City up to Buffalo free and in 299 00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,400 places like Michigan. You know, if you went to Central 300 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,000 Michigan University of Michigan State University cheese, I don't 301 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,900 think it was maybe a grand a year. 302 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,300 Maybe if that right somebody, somebody will write me and say, 303 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,400 no, I went to Ann Arbor. For 750 dollars a year. 304 00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,200 Now I'm laughing. It's not funny because you're, 305 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,000 if you're a college student right now listening to this, 306 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,400 you're thinking what the hell? Why do we as parents parents? 307 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,700 And grandparents now allow a system to take place to where 308 00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:32,700 you have to be in hock, here for a decade or two or three. 309 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,100 Why did we let this happen to our young, our own young people? 310 00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:42,000 And then you got to get out of college right away, get a job, 311 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,700 any job sometimes maybe a job you don't want you don't like 312 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,300 but you got to, you got to start paying back those loans. 313 00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,700 What's that supposed to be the for your first lesson as an 314 00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:55,600 adult that you're going to be in debt kid? 315 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,100 Your whole life? In fact, you never going to own 316 00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:02,800 your home going to be in debt to buy that car. 317 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,600 I going to do this that whatever, what's the point of? 318 00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:11,600 If we are the richest country on Earth and if we are able to To 319 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,900 do at least a few good things for our fellow citizens. 320 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,300 How about being able to go to college? 321 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:24,000 Be one of those things. And Biden sort of believes that 322 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,100 too, but but of course, he's not burning and he's not a 323 00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:31,700 progressive in that sense. But but he took a step today 324 00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:34,900 that the old Biden wouldn't when he was the young Biden. 325 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,300 I mean, he wouldn't, he wouldn't have supported this sort of 326 00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:44,200 thing, but he has come a long in his years and he knows he's, you 327 00:20:44,208 --> 00:20:46,700 know, I mean he's in the final quarter of his life. 328 00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,600 I think that he cares about how he's remembered and I think he's 329 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,600 been doing some things that at least appear to be a good thing. 330 00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:58,400 This is more than appearance, this 20 million, I'll say it 331 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,300 again. 20 million people especially low-income people who 332 00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,800 were in serious debt up to twenty thousand dollars of 333 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,900 college debt. Go to bed tonight. 334 00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:10,700 Debt free from their college loans. 335 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,600 Wow.

And when the anchor on CNN today 394 00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,700 asked a Democrat. Will where's the money? 395 00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:14,800 Where's the money coming from to pay for this? 396 00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:22,000 Well, we're going to raise your taxes and other rich people's 397 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,900 taxes. That's one thing. 398 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,500 But really where it's coming from is that? 399 00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:30,700 Here's actually, this is what I want to ask. 400 00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:34,700 Why don't I ever when I'm watching the news ever hear the 401 00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:38,800 question asked of a politician where you getting the money to 402 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,700 pay for a trillion dollar military. 403 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:43,500 I mean, why are you spending so much on the Pentagon? 404 00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:49,800 Never hear that question to you or any of the other things where 405 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,600 you getting the money to give the rich the the multi-trillion 406 00:25:53,500 --> 00:26:01,900 dollar tax break. Never asked. never ask it about 407 00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:08,700 any of those things, but when it comes to education, oh yeah. 408 00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:15,500 How are we paying for this? The question really is why our 409 00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:18,200 young people being forced to pay anything at all. 410 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,700 For something, that betters our society, it doesn't mean 411 00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:25,800 everybody has to go to college, you know, I went for a year but 412 00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:29,900 we also know that a more educated Society. 413 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,800 It isn't just about where you're going to be able to earn more 414 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,200 money or whatever. It's that is that if you have a 415 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,800 knowledgeable populace, if you have a smart electric Doctorate 416 00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:46,400 voters. They're not going to be swayed 417 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:52,300 by charlatans who tell them such easy lies. 418 00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:56,200 They're going to question, they're going to have a critical 419 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,400 thinking button in their heads because they've read books 420 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000 because they've sat in classes and debated issues. 421 00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:08,300 Because they've been exposed to Art film, Etc. 422 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,200 They're going to they're going to wonder. 423 00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:15,400 And that wonderment is going to lead to a better country. 424 00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:22,400 This is something that should that should be and is encouraged 425 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,400 in so many other countries where college is free. 426 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,200 France, free most of society. Scandinavia free Germany. 427 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,700 Free. It's either free or mostly free 428 00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:40,700 and virtually all of these European countries. 429 00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,700 I mean, they have to pay room and board or they have to pay 430 00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:50,000 for books or they have some registration fees or things like 431 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:58,400 that, but man, You know, why why do we do this to the kids that 432 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,700 we've just raised their just becoming adults? 433 00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:05,200 It's like a punishment. Almost It has to stop. 434 00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,800 And I just wanted to say that as I've returned from my two weeks 435 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:16,400 of not working that I don't think eight-year-olds or 16 year 436 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,600 old should be sitting in a classroom in their school here 437 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,700 in August and when they get out of school and I think they 438 00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:25,500 should be able to continue their education and I'm more than 439 00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,600 happy to pay for it with my tax dollars. 440 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,900 But that's that's the President Biden. 441 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000 And other Democrats who are more moderate. 442 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,100 I asked you to really think about this. 443 00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:42,900 Let's join the rest of the Civilized industrial world. 444 00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:50,500 And not put our young people into immediate debt as they 445 00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:53,100 become adults, that's not the way to start their lives. 446 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,400 Let's make College, let's get there. 447 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,300 Let's make college free. Let's forgive all of these 448 00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:03,900 loans. We can take it, we have the 449 00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:08,000 money, start taxing the rich, the way they used to be taxed 450 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,400 and should be taxed, and we'll be fine. 451 00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:24,500 So, that's it.
