>>> OH, GOOD HEAVENS, TODAY WE ARE LEARNING NEW DETAILS ABILITY
AN EXTRAORDINARY ALLEGED MASSIVE
COLLEGE ADMISSION SCANDAL THAT
APPEARS TO SHED LIGHT ON HOW FAR
SOME SUPER WEALTHY PARENTS MIGHT
GO TO GET AHEAD AND GET THEIR
CHILDREN INTO ELITE SCHOOLS.
THE CASE BROUGHT TO LIGHT BY A
MASSIVE FBI INVESTIGATION
INVOLVES A FRAUDULENT ADMISSIONS
QUOTE CONSULTANT.
QUOTE CONSULTANT. ADMISSIONS TO ELITE COLLEGES,
DIVISION I COACHES, HOLLYWOOD
CELEBRITIES AND PROMINENT
BUSINESS LEADERS.
BUSINESS LEADERS. 50 OF THEM HAVE BEEN CHARGED IN
THIS SCHEME.
THIS SCHEME. AT THE CENTER OF THIS SCANDAL, A
MAN NAMED WILLIAM SINGER.
GET TO KNOW THIS GUY’S NAME, A
FOUNDER OF A COLLEGE PREP
COMPANY KNOWN AS THE KEY.
FROM 2011 TO 2019, OFFICIALS SAY
PARENTS PAID THIS GUY ANYWHERE
FROM 200 GRAND TO MORE THAN $6
MILLION BUCKS TO CHEAT.
I WILL SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME,
NOT COACH THEIR KID, NOT HELP
THEM TO BLATANTLY COMPLETE THE
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM. IN SOME CASES, SINGER ALLEGEDLY
CREATED FAKE ATHLETIC PROFILES.
HE BRIBED COACHES TO ACCEPT
STUDENTS AS RECRUITS, STUDENTS
READY FOR THIS, WHO DIDN’T EVEN
PLAY A SPORT.
LIKE IN THE CASE OF THIS
STUDENT, THIS PERSON.
AUGUST, A NAPA WINE MAGNET WHO
WANTED TO GET HIS DAUGHTER INTO
USC.
USC. HE IS ACCUSED OF HIRING SINGER,
WHO THEN SENT THE WATER POLO
COACH AT USC THIS PHOTO, THIS
PHOTO IS OF ANOTHER STUDENT.
SINGER TOLD THIS MAN IN A
FOLLOW-UP CONVERSATION, YOU
CAN’T TELL IT’S NOT HER.
IT’S ATHLETIC ENOUGH.
IN OTHER CASES, SINGER IS
ACCUSED OF WORKING WITH S.A.T.
ADMINISTRATORS TO ALLOW A THIRD
PARTY TO SECRETLY TAKE THE EXAM
IN REPLACE OF THE STUDENTS OR
REPLACE THE STUDENT’S ADVANCES
WITH HIS OWN.
HERE’S WHAT’S MORE DISTURBING.
SINGER USED HIS KEY WORLD
NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION WHOSE
WEBSITE SAYS IT’S MISSION IS TO
PROVIDE GUIDANCE, ENCOURAGEMENT
AND DISADVANTAGEMENT AROUND THE
WORLD AS A FRONT SO PARENTS CAN
PAY HIM MASSIVE SUMS THAT GET
THIS IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
THE U.S. ATTORNEY SAYS THAT THE
COLLEGES ARE NOT CO-CONSPIRATORS
AND THAT THE SCHOOLS,
THEMSELVES, HAVE NOT BEEN
CHARGED.
CHARGED. YESTERDAY, SINGER PLEADED GUILTY
TO COUNTS OF RACKETEERING, MONEY
LAUNDERING, FRAUD AND
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
HE ALSO ADMITTED HE HELPED BRING
DOWN HIS OWN SCHEME BY
COOPERATING WITH THE FBI AND
WEARING A WIRE.
AS THE MASSACHUSETTS DISTRICT
ATTORNEY SAW IT YESTERDAY, THE
REAL VICTIMS ARE THE QUALIFIED,
HARD WORKING STUDENTS WHO PLAY
BY THE RULES.
>> AS EVERY PARENT KNOWS, THESE
STUDENTS WORK HARDER AND HARDER
EVERY YEAR IN A SYSTEM THAT
CONTINUES TO GROW MORE AND MORE
COMPETITIVE EVERY YEAR THAT
SYSTEM IS A ZERO SUM GAME.
FOR EVERY STUDENT ADMITTED
THROUGH FRAUD AN HONEST AND
GENUINELY TALENTED STUDENT WAS
REJECTED.
REJECTED. THE PARENTS CHARGE TODAY DESPITE
ALREADY BEING ABLE TO GIVE THEIR
CHILDREN EVERY LEGITIMATE
ADVANTAGE IN THE COLLEGE
ADMISSIONS GAME, INSTEAD SHOW
CHOSE TO CORRUPT AND ILLEGALLY
MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM FOR THEIR
BENEFIT.
BENEFIT. >> WELL, JOINING ME NOW THE
WEIGH IN, "TIME" MAGAZINE EDITOR
AT LARGE MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST
AND AUTHOR OF "WINNERS TAKE
ALL."
ALL." THE ROOT.COM POLITICAL EDITOR
AND MSNBC POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR
AND A PROFESSOR AT MORGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY AND RICK TYLER,
REPUBLICAN STRATEGY IKIST AND
MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST.
WHEN I SAW THIS I’M LIKE HOLY
COW, THIS IS A RAGEING BALL OF
FIRE AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE WORKED ON.
THESE PARENTS, WE KNOW IT’S THE
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT COLLEGE IS NOW A
BUSINESS.
BUSINESS. OKAY.
OKAY. ADMISSION OFFICERS HAVE METRICS
TO MEET.
TO MEET. WHAT USED TO BE A COLLEGE
ADMISSIONS PROCESS IS NOW A
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM. THEY NEED TO UP THE AMOUNT OF
APPLICATIONS, THEY NEED TO LOWER
THE AMOUNT OF ACCEPTANCES, THEY
NEED TO FOCUS ON THIS EAND GET
THEIR BOND RATING HIGHER.
WE KNOW INSTITUTIONALLY THEY
HAVE TO FOCUS ON POSSIBLE
FAMILIES THAT CAN BE DIG DONORS,
THEY CAN LEGALLY RIG THE SYSTEM.
I HAVE A COOL $2 MILLION BUCKS,
PUT A BUILDING WITH MY NAME ON
IT.
IT. THEY CAN GET IN.
>> THAT WASN’T ENOUGH.
>> FIRST OF ALL I WANT WANT TO
THANK THESE PARENTS FOR
REENACTING LIKE A BOOK PIECE
BASED ON MY BOOK I HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT FOR
A FEW YEARS.
WHAT IS SO FASCINATING OF THIS
STORY IS THE RIGGING OF AMERICA
FOR DECADES FOR THE RICH AND
POWER.
POWER. HAS NOW SUCCEEDED TO SUCH A
GREAT EXTENT THAT I THINK
CERTAIN RICH PEOPLE ACTUALLY
FEEL LIKE THE RIGGING IS A
COMMODITY.
COMMODITY. BECAUSE ALL RICH PEOPLE BENEFIT
FROM IT.
FROM IT. IT DOESN’T MAKE THEM FEEL
PARTICULARLY SPECIAL TO MERELY
HAVE THINGS RIGGED IN FAVOR OF
THEM THE WAY IT’S RIGGED FOR ALL
RICH PEOPLE.
RICH PEOPLE. ALL WHITE PEOPLE HAVE AN
ADVANTAGE RELATIVE TO OTHERS.
AFFLUENT PEOPLE WITH BETTER
PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE A CLEAR
ADVANTAGE IN THAT GAME.
THESE PEOPLE WANTED WHAT I CALL
BOTTLE SERVICE RIGGINGS, OVER
AND ABOVE THE GENERALIZED
RIGGINGS THEY ALREADY BENEFIT
FROM.
FROM. IT WAS SO STRIKEING THIS GUY
SINGER REALLY KNEW HOW TO TALK
TO THEM.
TO THEM. AND HE SAYS IN SOME OF THESE
WONDERFUL TRANSCRIPT, IN THE
INDICTMENT, YOU KNOW, MY PEOPLE,
THEY DON’T WANT TO GET INTO THE
FRONT DOOR, THEY ALSO DON’T WANT
TO GET IN THE BACK DOOR, WHICH
IS GIVING SOME $10 MILLION CHECK
THAT YOU DON’T KNOW, THERE IS NO
GAIN TEAM.
GAIN TEAM. THEY WANT A GUARN TEE.
MY PEOPLE WANT A GUARANTEE AND
THE FACT AS YOU POINTED OUT THAT
THE MECHANISM FOR A LOT OF THIS
WAS CHARITY.
WAS CHARITY. IT WAS THE RUSE OF HELPING THE
DISADVANTAGED.
DISADVANTAGED. IT’S SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY
THING.
THING. AND IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
WHILE ALL THE ATTENTION
YESTERDAY, A LOT OF THE MEDIA
ATTENTION FOCUSED ON TWO FEMALE
ACTRESSES, BECAUSE WE ARE
AMERICA AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE
CAPABLE OF FOCUSING ONLY, 33
PEOPLE GET ENSNARED.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON
CHARGED YESTERDAY WAS BILL
McFLASHEN.
McFLASHEN. >> TELL OUR AUDIENCE WHO HE IS.
>> BILL MSH McFLASHEN.
A PART OF THE PRIVATE EQUITY
FIRM.
FIRM. >> THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOUNDED
BY --
BY -- >> IF THAT IS GOOD THIS IS ONE
OF THE BEST.
TPG IS NOT ONLY A MASSIVE
PRIVATE EQUITY FUND.
IN RECENT YEARS AS HAVE YOU
COVERED SO MUCH, THERE IS A
MOUNTING CHORUS OF CRITICISM OF
CAPITALISM.
CAPITALISM. HOW CAPITALISM WORKS.
IT COMES FROM BERNIE SANDERS,
ELIZABETH WARREN.
ELIZABETH WARREN. ALL CORNERS.
ALL CORNERS. THAT’S BEEN OUTSIDE PRESSURE ON
CAPITALISM.
CAPITALISM. RIGHT?
RIGHT? BUT THERE HAS BEEN A MOVE WITHIN
SOME OF THE CITADELS OF
CAPITALISM, YOU ALL ARE RIGHT
ABOUT A LITTLE OF THIS, SHARED
VALUES, PEOPLE, CONSCIOUS
CAPITALISM FROM WHOLE FOODS, A
BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN THE SYSTEM.
WE CAN FIX THIS WE GOT THIS.
DON’T TAX US.
DON’T OCCUPY ANY OF THIS, WHO
WAS THE DEAN?
TPG STARTED A $2 BILLION FUND
CALLED THE RISE FUND.
>> GOOD CAPITALISM.
>> RUN BY BILL McFLASHEN.
>> DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE
MONEY.
MONEY. >> YOU CAPITALISM CAN BE USED.
WE WHO BUILT THIS, WE CAN DERIG
IT.
IT. YOU GOT TO THE GET BONO.
SO BILL McFLASHEN AND BONO
SITTING IN DAVOS IN A PARK
TALKING ABOUT HOW CAPITALISM CAN
LIFT PEOPLE UP.
TO ME IT IS A SIGNAL MOMENT FOR
THIS NEW CAPITALISM IMPACT
INVESTING WORLD THAT ONE OF THE
DEANS OF THIS WORLD WHO SAID HE
COULD BE A LEADER OF HELPING THE
DISADVANTAGED WAS, IN FACT, WHEN
HE WENT HOME AT NIGHT WORKING
THE PHONES, TO ENSURE THAT THE
SAME KIDS FROM AFRICA OR FROM AP
PLACIOIA WHO WAS EMPOWERING WITH
HIS FUND WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO
COMPETE WITH A SEAT.
>> HE WASN’T HOME HELPING HIS
SON STUDY OR GETTING HIS SON
INTO S.A.T.s.
INTO S.A.T.s. >> AND THEY SHOULD SPEND MORE
TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
>> JASON, YOU ARE A COLLEGE
PROFESSOR.
PROFESSOR. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> TALK TO ME WHAT THIS MEANS,
THESE ARE THESE PEOPLE’S
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN. IT’S THE ULTIMATE VOTE OF NO
CONFIDENCE.
CONFIDENCE. THEY’VE LOST THEIR ABILITY AS A
NORMAL 17-YEAR-OLD, WHAT DO I
CARE ABOUT?
CARE ABOUT? WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO ME?
WHAT ARE ONE OF THE THOUSANDS OF
SCHOOLS COULD BE RIGHT FOR ME?
NO, THESE PARENTS SAID, LET’S
NOT WAIST OUR TIME WITH AN
S.A.T. TUTOR, I DON’T WANT A
VACATION, LET’S LOCK YOU IN AT
YALE.
YALE. >> THIS IS WHERE HELICOPTER
PARENTS COME FROM, GREAT
INFLATION COMES FROM, THIS IS
ABOUT THE PARENTS.
I WANT TO SAY I GOT MY KID INTO
GEORGETOWN, IT DOESN’T MATTER
WHAT HE WANTS TO GO THERE, TO
RUTGERS OR NOT.
THE PARENTS WANT THIS, ON TOP OF
THAT, THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY
FOR THEIR MEDIOCRE CHILD TO GET
INTO INSTITUTION I CAN BRAG
ABOUT.
ABOUT. >> THIS IS THE THING.
>> THAT CHILD IS NOT MEDIOCRE,
THE PARENTS ARE QUALIFYING YOU
COUNT OR DON’T.
I CAN’T ACCEPT MY CHILD IS
MEDIOCRE, SO I MUST CHEAT.
>> STEPHANIE, THIS IS WHERE THE
SECOND ISSUE COMES IN.
I THINK IT’S A COMBINATION OF
CLASS ACCESS AND, OF COURSE,
RACE, THE PRESUMPTION THAT MERIT
THAT WHITE STUDENTS GET THAT
STUDENTS OF COLOR DOES NOT.
MY KIDS TALK ABOUT.
MY OWN EXPERIENCE, I HAD PEOPLE
CALLING MY HIGH SCHOOL TO SEE IF
MY TRANSCRIPT WAS CORRECT.
I HAD PEOPLE CALLING INTO MY
HIGH SCHOOL TO SEE IF I COULD
GET INTO CHAPEL HILL.
PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU HOW THEIR
SCHOOLS WERE CALLED AT DIFFERENT
LEVELS.
LEVELS. >> THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN TO ANY OF
THESE KIDS, THE ASSUMPTION WAS
YOU ARE RIGHT, YOU ARICH, IT
MUST SOMEHOW BE OKAY.
I DO NOT BELIEVE UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES SOME OF THESE
STUDENTS DIDN’T KNOW WHAT
THEY’RE PARENTS WERE DOING.
IF YOU GET INTO A SCHOOL TO PLAY
A SPORT YOU DIDN’T PLAY, YOU GET
DIFFERENT E-MAILS, DIFFERENT
REGISTRATION.
REGISTRATION. >> YOU START SCHOOL A MONTH
EARLY.
EARLY. >> IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME, THIS
HAPPENS IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN
CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, THEIR
PARENTS CAN GO $SHOPPING AND
THEY SAY THAT A LEARNING
DISABILITY.
DISABILITY. THIS IS ALL COMBINED.
I WILL SAY ABOUT THE
CONSEQUENCES, THERE IS
IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT. YOU GOT TEACHERS IN ATLANTA
GOING TO JAIL FOR FIXING TESTS,
A BLACK WOMAN 70 TO JAMIE FOR
TEN DAYS BECAUSE SHE USED HER
DAD’S ADDRESS SO HER KIDS CAN GO
TO A BETTER SCHOOL.
YOU HAVE A CAMILLA CAMPBELL,
THIS YEAR IN FLORIDA, HAS TO GET
A LOUR TO SHOW SHE IMPROVED HER
OWN TEST ON THE S.A.T.s, EVERY
SINGLE PARENT WILL BE IN JAIL.
THEY WON’T GO, THEY ARE WHITE
THAT I ARE RICH AND HAVE ACCESS.
>> I THINK TO YOUR POINT WHICH
IS VERY IMPORTANT IS THE
UNIVERSITY IS GETTING A BIT OF A
FREE PASS HERE, IF THIS IS TRUE,
IF WHAT’S IN THE INDICTMENT IS
TRUE, HUNDREDS, THIS GUY SAID
801 YEAR OF STUDENTS GOING TO
UNIVERSITIES, THE TEST SCORES
MAY BE HARDER TO DETECT.
BUT PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT REAL
SOCCER PLAYERS WHO HAD A PHOTO
SHOPPED FACE OF ANOTHER SOCCER
PLAYER.
PLAYER. THEY SHOW UP DESTINED FOR A
SOCCER TEAM.
SOCCER TEAM. ARE YOU NOT KEEPING TRACK OF
LAMPBLG NUMBERS OF RECRUITED
ATHLETES WHO NEVER END UP
PLAYING THE SPORT?
SO STANFORD, ANYMORE,
GEORGETOWN, PLACESLY NEVER BE
INVITED AGAIN, I THINK I WOULD
BE CURIOUS ABOUT HOW FAR THIS
COMPLICITY GOES AND WHO IS
UNTOUCHABLE IN A CASE LIKE THAT.
>> THAT’S STUNNING.
I TO POINT
I HAVE TO POINT OUT PAUL
MANAFORT’S SENTENCING HAS JUST
BEGUN.
BEGUN. >>> IF THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AND
HAS GONE WORSE YEAR AFTER YEAR,
I SPOKE TO A NUMBER OF FORMER
ADMISSION INSTRUCTORS WHO SAID
THIS ISN’T FLAWED.
IS THERE A SILVER LINING MAYBE
THIS ATROCIOUS CASE COULD CRACK
THINGS AND MAKE US TAKE A LOOK?
BECAUSE IF THIS CASE HADN’T COME
INTO FOCUS, WE WOULDN’T BE
TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE WOULDN’T BE THINKING ABOUT
IT.
IT. >> NO, IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY TO
UNWIND SYSTEMATIC RIGGING
BECAUSE I BELIEVE YOU’RE RIGHT,
THE STUDENTS DO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THESE KIDS AREN’T DUMB.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> NOBODY GOES UP 400 POINTS ON
THEIR S.A.T.s WITHOUT STUDYING
THEIR TUSHKIS OFF.
>> THAT’S WHAT THIS YOUNG LADY
DID.
DID. >> THE COLLEGES KNOW IT, TOO.
I’LL BE INTERESTED TO SEE THE
ADMISSION PROCESS IS SUPPOSED TO
BE FAIR AND EQUITABLE TO
EVERYONE.
EVERYONE. NOW LET’S SEE IF THE JUSTICE
SYSTEM IS FAIR AND EQUITABLE TO
EVERYONE.
EVERYONE. THIS IS A GREAT TEST CASE.
>> I KNOW THE ANSWER TO BOTH OF
THOSE.
THOSE. >> I HOPE ARE YOU WRONG.
>> ME TOO.
I THINK THIS CAN’T BE
OVERLOOKED.
OVERLOOKED. THIS IS NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME.
OKAY.
OKAY. YOU ONLY HAVE 128 SPOTS AT
CERTAIN SCHOOLS FOR ATHLETICS.
THERE IS A KID OUT THERE WHERE
GOLF WAS THE ONLY WAY SHE WAS
GOING TO SCHOOL.
TENNIS WAS THE ONLY WAY.
>> THAT FAMILY WAS STOLEN FROM
HER.
HER. EXACTLY STOVMT.LEN FROM HER.
WE SEEN THE VIDEO IN THE WAY
THEY CAN OPERATE IN PRIVILEGE
WHEN I THINK ME AND MY KIDS SAY
YOU GOT HERE BECAUSE OF
IFIRMTIVE ACTION, BECAUSE ARE
YOU BLACK.
YOU BLACK. THEY WALK AROUND WITH PRIVILEGE
AND WILL CHALLENGE THE FIRST
PERSON THAT LOOK LIKE ME OR YOU
WHEN WE GET IN SCHOOL.
>> I GOT A QUOTE SO STRIKING,
FROM SINGER ABOUT SOMETHING HE
HEARD FROM THE KIDS.
THE KIDS GO IN, THEY HAVE BEEN
TRENDING AT 1,100 ON PRACTICE
TESTS, YOU WALK IN, YOU GOT A
1,500.
1,500. WOW, SO NICE.
HOW DO THEY PROCESS IT?
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY.
>> THIS QUOTE IS SO TELLING.
HE SUMMARIZES WHAT THESE KIDS
SAY.
SAY. MAYBE I SHOULD DO THAT AGAIN?
I DID PRETTY WELL.
IF I TOOK IT AGAIN, I’LL DO
BETTER EVEN?
BETTER EVEN? OKAY.
OKAY. THE REASON THIS QUOTE IS SO
SIGNIFICANT IS IT SHOWS HOW
RIGGING LEADS TO FEELINGS OF
SUPREME MERIT IN PEOPLE.
THE MORE YOU RIG THINGS AND THEN
GIVE PEOPLE A BOOST THEY DIDN’T
DESERVE, THE MORE THEY ACTUALLY
EXPERIENCE IT PSYCHOLOGICALLY AS
DESERVEDNESS.
DESERVEDNESS. THEN YOU END UP WITH A COUNTRY
WHERE THAT PERSON 30 YEARS FROM
NOW IS GOING TO BE RUNNING SOME
HEDGE FUND, RIGHT?
AND MAYBE RAPING AND PILL
LAGEING IN THE ECONOMY, RUNNING
SOME NURSING HOME, LEVERAGING IT
WITH DEBT.
WITH DEBT. PEOPLE WILL DIE A BIT, OVERDOSE
ON DEBT.
ON DEBT. >> IT’S A NICE CONVERSATION
WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. I DON’T KNOW WHY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. >> AND GIVE A THRILL TO
CHARTIVE.
CHARTIVE. WHEN SOMEONE LIKE ME 30 YEARS
FROM NOW, MAYBE MY CHILDREN,
SAY, HOLD ON, HOW IS THIS THING
WORK?
WORK? THEY’LL SAY I EARNED THIS.
I EARNED THIS.
THEY MAY NOT KNOW 30 YEARS AGO
THEY GOT A 400 BOOST.
>> THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS
IT’S SO CRUCIAL FOR THESE
PARENTS TO GET THEIR KIDS INTO
SCHOOLS.
SCHOOLS. IT’S NOT JUST A LEARNING
INSTITUTION.
INSTITUTION. IT’S A FAST TRACK FOR LIFE.
IF YOU GO TO ONE OF THOSE
SCHOOLS.
SCHOOLS. >> THE PARENTS ARE ALREADY RICH.
>> THEY’RE RICH BUT THEY WANT
THEIR KIDS ABSOLUTELY, BECAUSE
THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR
KIDS ARE GETTING THE SAME CAREER
OPPORTUNITIES, INVESTMENT BANKS,
RECRUIT FROM FIVE OR SIX SCHOOLS
TOPS.
TOPS. IF YOU ARE NOT IN ONE OF THOSE
SCHOOLS, YOU END UP IN A
NON-TARGET PILE.
NON-TARGET PILE. I USED TO LOOK AT NON-FORECAST
RECRUITING.
RECRUITING. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, A GIANT PILE
THAT GOES NOWHERE.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A CONNECTION,
YOU ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT
PILE.
PILE. IF YOU GO TO ONE OF THOSE
SCHOOLS, YOU WILL BE RECRUITED
FOR THE MOST ELITE ZRICHLTS
THAT’S WHERE COMPANIES GO.
CAREER SERVICES IS MASSIVE.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT AT YOUR
SCHOOL, ALUMNI GOING OUT OF
THEIR WAY TO BUILD OR SUPPORT
NEAR NETWORK AND HIRE THE NEXT
GENERATION OF KIDS, THAT’S WHAT
WILL HELP THOSE KIDS.
YOU KNOW THAT FROM BEING ON THE
COLLEGE CAMPUS.
COLLEGE CAMPUS. >> I SEE THIS, FIRST AND
FOREMOST.
FOREMOST. ANYBODY THAT WORKS AT THE
UNIVERSITY WILL TELL YOU, THIS
DOESN’T SHOP THEM ENTIRELY.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
WHAT MAKES THEM SO EGREGIOUS IS
THEY HAVE ATTEMPTS TO RICK IT
LATER
LATER LATER.
LATER. MOST HAVE THEIR KIDS APPLY.
IF FACT THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO
BRIBE PEOPLE UP FRONT.
THE FACT THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO
BREAK SO MANY LAWS TO DO SO,
THAT’S WHERE THE ISSUE COMES IN.
>> HERE’S THE STUPIDITY.
THEY COULD HAVE RIGGED IT AHEAD
OF TIME.
OF TIME. WHEN THEIR KOID IS IN 7th GRADE
THEY CAN MEET WITH THEM OFFICER.
>> MAKE YOUR KID GOOD AT
FENCING.
FENCING. THESE PEOPLE AREN’T EVEN SMART.
>> THEY’RE LAZY.
>> THEY DON’T HAVE TO BE.
THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS, WE
READ THE TRANSCRIPT.
I WAS SAYING THIS, WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER.
THIS READS LIKE A LIFETIME
MOVIE, THIS LORI LOUGHLIN CAN
WRITE HER OWN MOVIE.
THIS ISN’T JUST ABOUT BEING
RICH.
RICH. YOU GOT TO THE RIGHT KIND OF
PEOPLE WHO CAN LET YOU IN ON
THESE KIND OF TRICKS.
THAT’S THE OTHER THING WE NEED
TO BREAK UP WHEN THESE PEOPLE
ARE HOPEFULLY LEFT ACCOUNTABLE.
>> ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY OR DO
THE RIGHT THING?
>> I HAVE TO SAY, AMERICA NEEDS
TO WAKE UP.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST THING, OUR
MR. PRESIDENT ESSENTIALLY GOT
WHERE HE GOT DOING MANY SIMILAR
THINGS WITH HIS TAXES AND
EDUCATION.
EDUCATION. EVERYBODY IN THE SILICON VALLEY.
