There are people, as I'm sure you're familiar with, a young woman from Turkey, for God's sakes, was in Massachusetts, went to Tufts University. You remember that? This woman walks down the street, suddenly guys grab her with masks on, throw her into a van, take her to a detention center. Why? Because she wrote an op-ed critical of the war in Gaza. Really? That's what goes on in America?

And we're seeing that. So, you know, this was an opportunity for people by the zillion. We were shocked, to be honest with you. When I ran for president, we had very large turnouts. These are larger.

Well... I don't want to get into that, but do we have security issues? Wow. Is that your question? Of course we do.

I think sitting kids at a desk for long hours is probably not the best way to... create the kind of creativity that we want in kids. At the end of the day, if you are excited about learning, you're going to learn.

So I think you need a revolution in that sense of the word.
