00:00Thanks, ma'am.

00:01Do you have any questions, please?

00:02Mr. President?

00:03Yeah.

00:04Yeah, please.

00:05Mr. President, what can states do now to implement your Department of Education executive order?

00:10Well, I think what's going to happen is we are cleaning out a lot of things like the

00:15loans, student loans, which will be handled very professionally by people that do that.

00:21And then, as you know, RFK Jr. is going to do a fantastic job having to do with health

00:26and the other things, and frankly, better than the people at the Department of Education.

00:31You see the buildings all over D.C.

00:35And then the rest is the states are going to start coming in and taking all of the information

00:39on all of their students.

00:41And I think a lot of that information is going to be shipped to different states like Iowa,

00:46like Indiana, like so many.

00:49They're so anxious to get.

00:50They're calling us, and they're so anxious to get it.

00:53We'll be shipping the records of the children that they're taking care of, that they want

00:57to take care of.

00:58And the process will begin.

01:00And I think it won't be that long before the states will be really running the Department

01:05of Education.

01:06Our teachers are going to be taken very well care of.

01:09And I said, you know, personally, I don't care, union, nonunion, it doesn't matter.

01:13Teachers are so important to this country and to me, and we're going to take great care

01:17of our teachers.

01:18And I know it's very important to Linda.

01:21So I think you're going to see a tremendous change very quickly having to do with education.

01:26And the process has already begun, very strongly begun.

01:30I think we've done, you know, what?
