00:00beautiful transformation.

00:02Linda, you might say a couple of words.

00:04You've done so amazing.

00:05It's a 50 percent cut.

00:07And more importantly, we want to bring education

00:10into the states.

00:10We're at the bottom of the pack, but we're the most

00:13expensive per pupil.

00:15And we want to bring education back to the

00:17states where they can teach the students lovingly

00:20with their parents and with the boards and

00:23everything else.

00:23And they'll be every bit as good as these other

00:26countries.

00:26These states, these individual states will do

00:28a phenomenal job.

00:29Want to say something?

00:31Yes, sir.

00:31And if we think about education, if we don't

00:34address the issues in education now and start

00:36getting our scores up, what are we going to find

00:39our next generation generation after that?

00:41Where are our engineers, our doctors, our lawyers,

00:43our scientists, our our A.I.

00:46and technical experts going to come from?

00:48We will go farther and farther down.

00:49And with everything else we're doing within our

00:52country, building manufacturing, bringing

00:54all of that back.

00:56If we don't educate in the best way we can, we will

00:59be lost and those generations will be lost.

01:02It is, I think, the cornerstone of our culture

01:05and what we need to focus on.

01:07And so by having education at the best place where it

01:11can be, which is the states, the local levels

01:13with governors, with best practices and tools, which

01:16I hope the Department of Education can help supply

01:18for them, we'll do it.

01:21The President And Linda, as you know, the SBA is

01:25taking over her student loans, which is a lot of

01:27loans.

01:28It's a big job.

01:28And, Kelly, we appreciate that.

01:30You're going to do.
