Rahm Emanuel

Now, I happen to think our kids are suffering from two things.

Republicans have abandoned public education, and Democrats have abandoned accountability.

And our kids are falling through the crack.

That's what's happening.

And that's on us.

All immigrant groups, whether they've crossed the Rio, the Pacific, or the Atlantic, or the Mississippi, all of them always put education at the top because they made that struggle for the next generation.

And that door of the school is that door into the middle class.

Well, look, I mean, this gets to this will age me.

I don't care.

I grew up at a time when you had Governor Bill Clinton, Governor Hunt, Governor Reilly, who becomes Clinton's secretary.

But it was also Governor Alexander, who was the Republican.

Governor Winter, Governor Childs, Governor Miller.

These were titans.

They were in a competitive race to be the education governor.

Two things I just told you before we got on.

What am I doing?

I was talking about going to Linda Baines Johnson.

If you go back and look at the stuff, while we know him, remember him for, obviously, the war on poverty, the Great Society, but what he wanted to be remembered as was the education government.

That's what he wanted to be remembered for.

It's probably of one subject...
