Mm-hmm.
24:25
That became a news story.
24:28
Other creators began to comment on it.
24:30
And then that in and of itself became a kind of accountability.
24:36
So I don't know that we have to slam people with huge fines, shame them.
24:43
I think there's going to be enough quote unquote, shame when creators and influencers hold each other accountable to certain standards.
24:53
And what the role of government is, is to be the fair referee, right? Did you violate or did you not violate? Okay, we're going to slap you with a fine.

and really not

providing them with education that they can get a good job with.
11:17
I hesitate to actually mention names of these institutions, but they do put a lot of money into marketing.
11:23
Now, these institutions also target veterans.
11:26
And at the time, these institutions...
11:29
So we have a law called the...
11:34
Oh gosh, what was that called? It was not called the 10% rule, but what the law actually said was that at least 10% of your revenue had to come from non-federal sources.

ask, as a member of the education and workforce community, what reforms do you believe are necessary to make it so that not only veterans, but all students have equal opportunity to do this job market?
67:49
Mm-hmm.
67:49
And Norm spoke up and said, "Mr.
67:51
President, we cannot repeat what happened to Japanese Americans and my people." Um, so it is important that we review this history.
68:04
Um, I am disappointed that we have a Supreme Court that is highly deferential to executive power.
68:11
(audience cheers) (audience applauds) I wanna put a...
68:17
Uh, we can, we can hope, we can win, th- that these cases win their way, uh, through the courts and that they, that they finally overturn Korematsu.
68:26

79:06
Yes.
69:03
Is there a way that Congress can reconnect to that moral clarity of that moment?
69:11
Well, We are in a muddy moment, more than muddy.
69:16
We've seen the same kind of lies being told about Latinos and other immigrants, fear being whipped up, national security being invoked as the premise for why people's civil liberties can be violated.
69:36

69:38
I do think there are more people who know the history, not enough people who know the history of Japanese American internment.
69:44
I was heartened in the first Trump administration to hear Laura Bush, the wife of George W. Bush, say what, you know, the separation policy, this reminds me of what happened to Japanese Americans.
