i read your piece. >> pleasure. >> many of us have admired robert smith.e of a kind top in his business in terms of what he does with the financial world equity and all. i was just with him when they named a building after him in harlem. you said he did even more than just commit to upwards of $40 million to help these young people wipe out their student debt that we should look at something that he did far more significant. explain that. >> his speech, and i think many people, of course, heard about the gift itself and i think very few people went back, not as many people went back and listened to the speech. a speech he entitled bus number 13. a speech in which he made the case that as you stated, he was bussed in denver from about 1st to 5th grade and he recognized that as a pivotal sort of moment as opening up his own opportunity on the bus that took him across town was bus number 13 and it was a really critical lesson about lesson about how people become successful, the hole that opportunity is so very crucial, that it's not about -- it's not as much

this philanthropist in the far east is following on from robert smith, who did a very similar thing in graduates and apparently at the end of it, he just said, iam apparently at the end of it, he just said, i am going to wipe out all your student debt. huge cheers. i wish that had happened to me. creating equal opportunity for all is what capitalism is all about. you are never going to iron out people having different results because of talent, look, dare one say, or background, but if you can give people equal opportunity, that has to bea people equal opportunity, that has to be a good thing and that is what i was trying to say when i lost my chain. so equal opportunity is good and if you can give people education, that has got to be a great thing. the second thing i was trying to say is if you look at it from an economic perspective, giving stu d e nts from an economic perspective, giving students money does make sense because if you give 1,000 dollars, it will probably go down the back of the sofa or whatever, but if you give it to a student, the propensity to spend it is very high,

what robert smith did was put it front and center. and another way the billionaire who said he was going to pay the student debts at morehouse. but have you seen as much as you would like to see in terms of increase in resources through the various meetings and alliances you say are being made? >> there has been some increases but more can be done. we're looking for more and more to be done. we're not just depending on the federal level. we are the state level. we have the alumni. we have the corporations that we're forming partnerships and collaborations with. we're looking at various other revenue enhancement sources. for example, at tennessee state university, companies that are moving to nashville like amazon and apple and the various financial institutions, 53rd bank, board of directors, we're making public-private partnerships, meeting with them to ensure we can develop a sustainability model to keep us going despite the fact the federal funding may not be where it needs to be. >> for people that don't know, why are historic bla
