## Transcript

There was a time when America seemed committed to empowering all and this was really after World War II when the government set out to provide free education to a lot of the veterans who came in and that was the GI Bill. And you look at what that did, you look at the effects. Of giving people education. Education is the tool to everything. It's the building block that everything is created from. The Senate being equally divided, the Vice President votes in the affirmative. And the nomination is confirmed. Thoughts, feelings, concerns? Concerns. [ UNKNOWN ] If you look at the state of Americas education, one of the saddest things is that, America seems to be going back to a place where your wealth will determine how much knowledge you can attain.

And so, I think it's a scary time if Betty divorced and gets to do everything she wants to. You would never know what even more people who do not have the mean will now no longer have the opportunity to achieve the means. And it goes back to that same which is teacher man to fish Now it looks like in America. Can the person afford to be taught how to fish? And we get further and further away from people being able to feed themselves. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
