00:00After 45 years, the United States spends more money on education by far than any other country.
00:10But we're going to be returning education very simply back to the states where it belongs.
00:16And this is a very popular thing to do, but much more importantly, it's a common sense
00:21thing to do.
00:22And it's going to work.
00:23Absolutely, it's going to work.
00:25And I can tell you from dealing with the governors and others in the state, they want it so badly.
00:31They want to take their children back and really teach their children individually.
00:37Probably the cost will be half, and the education will be maybe many, many times better.
00:44So we look forward to this.
00:47I want to just make one little personal statement.
00:50Teachers to me are among the most important people in this country, and we're going to
00:54take care of our teachers.
00:56And I don't care if they're in the union or not in the union, that doesn't matter.
01:01But we're going to take care of our teachers.
01:03And I believe the states will take actually better care of them than they are taken care
01:10of right now.
01:11They'll work all sorts of systems and even merit systems.
01:14Those great teachers are going to be maybe a little bit better rewarded, or maybe that's
01:18the way it should be.
01:19But the states are going to make that decision.
01:21But we're going to love and cherish our teachers, along with our children.
01:25And they're going to work with the parents, and they're going to work with everybody else.
01:29And it's going to be an amazing thing to watch.
01:31And it's really going to be something special.
01:33And, Linda, you're presiding over something that's so important.
01:36And we want to have our children well-educated.
01:40We want them to love going to school.
01:42We have examples of it.
01:44Look at those beautiful, bright-eyed faces.
01:47They are so smart.
01:48They're so smart.
01:49And with that, I'm going to come down, and we're going to sign a very important document,
01:58and we're going to be on our way.
01:59People have wanted to do this for many, many years, for many, many decades.
02:03And I don't know.
02:04No president ever got around to doing it.
02:06But I'm getting around to doing it.
02:08So thank you very much.
02:41I'm going to give you a little bit of a tour of my document that turned out to be very
02:43good for the country.
02:44And I said, let's use that same pen.
02:45I don't know.
02:46Is anybody superstitious?
