CURES FOR ALL DISEASES.
MARIA: ALSO TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLE IN TERMS OF MOVING US
FORWARD.
WE'RE GOING TO GET TO WHAT
YOU'RE DOING IN TERMS OF THE
CENTER FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM.
TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN
THE JOBS MARKET, TRUCK DRIVERS
ARE NEEDED, YOU'RE SEEING
TECHNOLOGY REPLACE CERTAIN
AREAS.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THE STATUS OF
THE JOBS MARKET IS?
>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT A STUDY, AND
YOU SAY WHY ARE PEOPLE THINKING
HOW THAT RESULTED.
BUT THEY'RE SCARED.
THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
THE AMERICAN DREAM AND THE
CHANCE AND OPPORTUNITY TO TRY.
AND TRY AGAIN.
AND SO THEY'RE CONCERNED.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT TYPE OF
JOBS ARE GOING TO BE REPLACED,
LESS LIKELY THAT THAT JOB WILL
BE AUTOMATED.
SECOND, THE MORE EDUCATION YOU
HAVE, IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN A
THAT JOB YOU HAVE COULD BE
ELIMINATED THROUGH AUTOMATION.
A COLLEGE DEGREE, WE'RE UNDER.
PEOPLE ARE SCARED.
THEY'RE SEARCHING FOR SOME
STRONG GROUND AND SAFETY AND
WHAT ABOUT THEIR FUTURE.
THAT IS THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE IN
OPPORTUNITY, WE'RE GOING TO
FORGE RETRAINING, WE'LL FIND
DIFFERENT MODELS SO YOU DON'T
GET OUT OF COLLEGE WITH HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DEBT
CAN WE FIND SOLUTIONS.
LAST TWO YEARS OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
ONE, I OWNED A COMPANY THAT WAS
LIKE A FOR PROFIT YPO.
10,000 CEOS.
ONE, THEY WANTED TO KNOW THE
TWO, THEY COULD NOT DEAL WITH 15
DIFFERENT REGULATORY AGENCIES.
THEY'RE A SMALL BUSINESS.
THEY CAN'T TAKE A DIFFERENT
PERSON EVERY DAY COMING TO TELL
THEM WHAT TO DO.
THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED.
AND THREE, THEY WANTED AN
EVENING OF THE TAX CODE FOR
PARTNERSHIPS AND CORPORATIONS,
SIMILAR TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND
THEY GOT THAT.
I WOULD SAY FOUR, KIND OF ICING
ON THE CAKE, THESE OPPORTUNITY
ZONES TO REBUILD OUR INNER
CITIES OF AMERICA.
AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE THAT WE
SHOULD CREATE JOBS IN THESE
AREAS.
THAT GROUNDWORK HAS ENERGIZED
MILLIONS OF SMALL BUSINESSES.
MARIA: THEY'RE GETTING ACCESS
TO CAPITAL.
I WOULD ARGUE THIS ROLLBACK IN
REGULATION COUGHS BE EVEN MORE
IMPACTFUL THAN THE LOWER TAXES
BECAUSE A SMALL BUSINESS CAN'T
DEAL WITH
DEAL 1ITH
THE AMERICAN DREAM CENTER MANY
TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> WELL, WHEN I THINK OF MY LIFE
AND HOW IT CHANGED, I WANTED TO
I WENT TO BERKLEY.
ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M HOME DURING
THE SUMMER, AUGUST 11th, 1965
AND THE WATTS RIOTS OCCURRED AND
I MET A YOUNG AFRICAN AMERICAN
MAN WHO TOLD ME HE WASN'T PART
OF THE AMERICAN DREAM.
HE WOULDN'T BECAUSE HE WAS AN
AFRICAN AMERICAN.
SO I WENT BACK TO BERKLEY AND
SWITCHED MY MAJOR TO FINANCE AND
SAID OKAY, WE HAVE TO SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM.
THAT PEOPLE WILL AFFORD THEM
AND AS I THINK ABOUT THAT, THIS
CHALLENGE IN AMERICA IS DO THEY
HAVE A CHANCE AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM AND PEOPLE ARE QUESTIONING
THAT TODAY.
YOU HAVE STUDIES SHOWING THAT
NOT JUST IN AMERICA BUT IN
EUROPE, PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY
WILL NOT HAVE AS GOOD A LIFE AS
THEIR PARENTS DID.
NOW, THAT WAS ALWAYS DIFFERENT.
THEY WOULD HAVE A BETTER LIFE.
SO WE FELT WE NEEDED TO CREATE A
CENTER TO ENERGIZE PEOPLE TO
REINFORCE THE VIEW THAT EVERYONE
HAS A CHANCE AT THE AMERICAN
WHAT YOU COULD ACHIEVE.
NOW, THE ELEMENTS ARE IMPORTANT.
EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT AS A
FRAMEWORK.
HEALTH CARE, IF YOU'RE NOT
FEELING WELL AND YOU HAVE SHORT
LIVES, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
OTHERS, ONE, THE ACCESS TO
ENTREPRENEUR.
THAT INDIVIDUAL WITH A NEW IDEA
THAT CHANGES THE WORLD AS WE
KNOW IT.
THOSE ARE THE FOUR PILLARS OF
THIS CENTER.
AND WE WANT TO OPEN IT TO EVERY
SINGLE PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY TO
INSPIRE THEM WITH STORIES OF
MARIA: THAT THE AMERICAN DREAM
ALLOWS YOU TO WORK REALLY HARD
AND ACHIEVE SUCCESS NO MATTER
WHERE YOU COME FROM.
>> WELL, THAT DREAM, THAT
YOU LOOK AT A STUDY OF PEOPLE
THAT SAY THEY HAVE $1 MILLION OR
MORE IN CHINA, 41% OF THEM IN
THE LATEST POLL WANT TO MOVE TO
THE UNITED STATES.
SO WHETHER YOU'RE IN AFRICA OR
AMERICAN DREAM.
MARIA: ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH
WHAT'S HAPPENING BETWEEN THE
U.S. AND CHINA IN TERMS OF THE
TRADE DISPUTE?
>> THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK OUT
WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP IS.
IN CHINA IF YOU STEP BACK FOR
THOUSANDS OF YEARS, YOU NEVER
PROTECTED I.P.
IF IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, THE EM
POURER WANT -- EMPORERR
POURER WANT -- EMPORER WANTED
EVERYONE TO HAVE IT.
SOME OF THE GREAT COMPANIES IN
THE WORLD, ALIBABA ARE IN CHINA.
IT'S A LITTLE MORE MUTUAL AND
HOPEFULLY WE'LL FIND A SOLUTION
