They got them all signed up.

I give the principal $150,000, and she QR codes the money into each of the accounts.

Everybody in America can adopt a school.

raise a little bit of money, go to your principal and say, we want to juice up these accounts for all the kids, get all the kids signed up.

And the teachers there, this was a school that 75% black and Latino serving the rural poor in Durham, the level of excitement, a mom came up to me crying.

I never thought my kids would, you know, own anything.

The teacher's so excited to teach the kids about what it means to own something.

You know, I grew up in rural Indiana and we had zero.

And as I said to the president,

When you're at zero, it's a despondent place to be.

You don't know how to get to one.

The hardest move in the world is going from zero to one.

One to two is easier and two to three is easier yet.

We're gonna get all of these kids from zero to one on this compounding journey.

If you start with a thousand bucks and you save $50 a month, it's $50,000 at age 18.

There's no reason we can't put every kid in America on that journey.

And to celebrate our second 250 years, right?

We're gonna launch this as a dividend for every kid in America.

So I wanna make sure that they all sign up starting in 2027.

The 3.7 million kids born in 2027, it will be automatic.
