00:00I think, again, both of us share the goal of trying to make college affordable for all
00:05young Americans.
00:07And I've set forth a compact that would do just that for debt-free tuition.
00:12We differ, however, on a couple of key points.
00:15One of them being that if you don't have some agreement within the system from states and
00:21from families and from students, it's hard to get to where we need to go.
00:25And Senator Sanders' plan really rests on making sure that governors, like Scott Walker,
00:32contribute $23 billion on the first day to make college free.
00:37I'm a little skeptical about your governor actually caring enough about higher education
00:42to make any kind of commitment like that.
00:48The next, we're going to, I think, a brief response.
00:53Very brief, thank you.
00:54Here's where we are with public education.
00:56Hundred, hundred and fifty years ago, incredibly brave Americans said, you know what?
01:00Working class kids, low-income kids, should not have to work in factories or on the farms.
01:07Like rich kids, they deserve to get a free education.
01:11And that free education of extraordinary accomplishment was from first grade to twelfth grade.
01:16The world has changed.
01:19This is 2016.
01:21In many ways, a college degree today is equivalent to what a high school degree was 50, 60 years ago.
01:29So, yeah, I do believe that when we talk about public education in America, today, in a rapidly
01:36changing world, we should have free tuition at public colleges and universities.
01:42That should be a right of all Americans, regardless of the income of their families.
