Million Student March national organizer Keely Mullen on protesting for free college and debt forgiveness. Watch Neil Cavuto talk about College Planning and Tuition Costs on Cavuto.
See. The difference between the 1970s and 2015 is that back then, Keely would not even be on a short list of coffee makers/janitors for a TV station. Let alone actually take up minutes of valuable time on air.
Hey Keely... I worked a full time job while pursuing a degree in Pre-Med Microbiology. My employer offered tuition reimbursement up to 50% for full time employees. I went to a trade school after high school and before entering University so that I would be qualified to obtain a job that gave me a full time paycheck and tuition reimbursement. Its called hard work and planning. You really aught to try it. Its awesome.
And that's the way it is. Humans raised solely on government $$$ who don't see parents get up at 5 a.m. to work, who don't see parents who worry about unplanned budget expenses, these are the sort that expect lifelong handouts. And it's getting worse
It doesn’t seem like she can because when I was growing up my income and my Dads income couldn’t afford to finish paying for me to get through community college BUT we were also told by the state I live in that my Dad gross income alone was too much money for him and my two younger siblings to qualify for food stamps what good does his gross income do when that’s before taxes…so before taxes my Dad made $11 dollars too much for them to qualify for food stamps which is insane. My sister are next to nothing and you can’t feed her off $11 dollars a month and that was back in 2007 my little brother could literally eat 5 cheese burgers in one sitting and be hungry a hour later. He could eat $11 every time he sat at the dinner table. I chose to stay home instead of moving out so that I could help but if I hadn’t been there what would have happened?and then some how this girls parents are able to pay for her to go through a university college (I assume) plus it sounds like there’s two of them. Yet they qualified for all kinds of government support? I just don’t understand.
trha2222 i think not going to lectures isnt that bad if they are able to pass exams, i mean if you think you know what to do in diffirential equations class but you struggle in complex analysis go ahead and study in library, Yet if youmare going to baseball matches during diffirential equations class, be ready to fail spectacularly.
I cant believe her parents are letting her get on and letting her spout nonsense which makes her look stupid, and naïve. Looks like her parents didn't teach her that you don't get anything for free, and stealing is wrong.
true but the system is all about licensing, insurance, and legalities. thats where school has its place. so basically insurance company A won't insure company X if company x doesn't have certain employees who have 130 hours of topic b and a license in topic b... I hope this makes sense
AbdulAzeem Omotosho Huh? There’s a lot of people living and studying in Europe. A lot of Americans too btw Either way, people travel. Travel is good for everybody - new perspectives, new experiences.
AbdulAzeem Omotosho yes there is competition. We have private universities too. And they charge like maybe $5000 a year. One of the biggest problems with American education is government backed student loans. You are absolutely right about that. There’s other factors that make American education expensive too, like the fact that everybody wants to go to America because everybody wants to speak English. So you have your average Joe competing with Arab sheikhs. So a university in a totally free market will usually favor the Arab Sheikh willing to pay $50,000. But the quality of education is great in European free colleges. Sure, we don’t have city-sized campuses, but we also don’t need to go into debt to get an education 🤷♂️
she is a picture perfect showing of a college girl in todays age. Virtue signaling morons. They say the best things ever, things no one disagree with. Wanting lower poverty rates, world peace ect. The second you try and speak reality into the situation and why things aren't always as easy as "some one will do it for me" , you must be inferring you WANT said injustice in society. When the reality is life aint fair. They will realize the second they hit the real world though.
Since it’s now 6 years since this interview, I’m assuming she has graduated and is now working full time. Just wondering how she is liking paying income tax and how she’s volunteering to pay even more to fund current students
I very much enjoy watching these people fall on their faces after tripping on their words as they are given facts and asked to explain the vast discrepancies between their claims and allegations vs the facts presented. The weather report is in: the skies over academia is heavily clouded with a high probability of willful ignorance and a 15% drop in local IQs.
@@juliocaesaralcaraz9891 The 1%, The 1% will take care of everything, lol What a dumb POS and she goes to College??? She must go to a Democrat run College.
Try as you might...theres no "waking" these kids up. They entrench themselves in their ignorance and cognitive dissonance. Literally have to hope and pray they turn their brains on one day...
Josué Veguilla, I weep for the future. And that’s not just a line from Ferris Beuller’s day off, this is the absolute truth. JV, I truly hope enough people of your generation wakes the f-up! To put it mildly
With brilliant young people like her, who needed colleges. Investing in your own education or future gives you an incentive of working hard to achieve your dreams. If you can just get everything handed to you for the asking, you will never have a value on what you have.
Don`t be embarrassed. Every generation has worth. You might have to wait 20 years to find out what that worth really is. There will come a time when you can be prowd of what your gen has done.
You're not part of the millennial generation if you're currently 20 years old. Millennials are people born between 1980 and 1994 and are aged between 25 and 39 years of age. You are generation Z, born 1995-2015. And your generation is known for cutting their dicks off.
And also other people to blame for "society's woes". Just look at how all the variants of Marxist socialism ran out of "others" to blame things on and started preying upon their own as "enemies of the state".
“I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.” - Thomas Sowell
@@bruhmoment7895 thats just it, you don't get to decide what "hard enough" is. facts are he worked for the success he has. taking money that he earned is greed.
guys were u listening to the above reporter??even f u tax the 1% all his money still they won't keep running the medicare for 3 years..Now don't say medicare works in other oecd countries for free..They work because u need to wait for a year to get a gastroenterologist appointment..
@john kendall interestingly, most universities also off free online courses through Coursera. One can take them free, or pay to get the credits. Funny thing, you can actually learn the skills for free, and use them to make money on your own.
That's a good idea! She should have all professors who think education should be free sign a petition. Then she can tell them all to educate her for free. Let's see how many professors want that petition in the shredder.
I understand that the number of school administrators has ballooned in both public and private schools from kindergarten through universities to the point that they now take around 20-30% of school budgets without contributing to teaching. In fact, the growth of that group is one of the main reasons that the cost of an education has increased so much over the last 30 years. But I don't think they should be allowed to administrate for free, they should be fired and their buildings given away or shuttered up. Since 20-30% of student debt is from the cost of those administrators, then that much debt should be wiped clean from students. But somebody has to pay for it, and one way is to lower taxpayer-funded school budgets to pay it back to the banks over 20 years or so. Or maybe the banks should eat it, because it's only 20-30% of $1 trillion over 20 years. What do you think?
I cannot believe my ears. She literally just said her family is already on federal assistance and right after that said there’s a population that is not contributing to society... She literally explained herself and her family.. They are the ones that is not contributing... smh 🤦♂️
midgetydeath you and people like you are the problem with the whole world.. You have 00000 common sense. For some reason you do not comprehend the FACT that millionaires and billionaires are the ones who employ people like you and me. Then in turn people like you and me pay taxes. Please go back to a different school who actually teaches real knowledge and truth. Because you know absolutely nothing about how the world operates.
STUDY SHOWS COLLEGES HAVE THEIR TUITION OVERPRICED and inflated BY UP TO 80 %. COLLEGES WERE FOUND To BE WORTH Billions of dollars and assetS and spending money like water. Democrats never stopped or held colleges accountable to show proof for why they raised tuition and getting the government to raise the student loans, grants and aid. DEMOCRATS began the government and the Dep4artment of Education to have taxpayers pay for and take on the student payments to college and their debt for grants, scholarships, and all the financial aid. This without making colleges show income need and proof and then just pay the colleges without any proof of need. Colleges raised tuition at an alarming rate every year without needing it. Colleges scammed students and their parents and all American taxpayers with their high tuition. IF COLLEGES had to take on the debt their tuition would be up to 80% less because they then would have to pay for it and fund the debt. This false tuition costs put students and parents and the taxpayers in debt to the tune of over 2.7 Trillion dollars along with scamming students and parents and the taxpayers out of billions paid to them PUTTING THEM IN DEBT. STUDENTS NEED TO REVOLT AND PICKET DEMOCRATS AND COLLEGES AND EXPOSE THIS YEARS OF THIS SCAM. OVER PAYING FOR AN EDUCATION.
@@superbennyboy1 Most definitely. That doesn't mean she can't get help: charity is fine but from her friends, neighbours, family, etc directly to her not thru govt ie taxpayers.
Steve Mullen, Keely’s father and an active social justice warrior on Facebook, lives in a home that he purchased in 2005 for $1,060,000. He currently is employed as an instructor, but in the past spent time as an ad composer and producer for American Airlines, Budweiser, and Corona.
Poor clueless child, she states that her family's on substantial amount of government assistance has she wondered where that money comes from. If she was concerned about her family paying for her tuition she should have joined the service or paramilitary which would pay for education. Sure she's infatuated with her liberal arts professor.
@@garethhancock8525 these people are straight idiots. flat +100K in taxes in a life time vs 100k with interest and you dont have a job, career or accomplishments
Once she graduated, do you think she cared anymore whether or not students get their education paid? No, she was looking for the next thing she could have someone else pay for to support her. I feel sorry for anyone who gets into a relationship with her - they better have good credit and a bank roll.
Great job to the reporter. He wasn't sugarcoating he wasn't brutal he was clear and patient yet very straight forward & down to statistics/facts / probabilities
Actually they're right in a way too. Student loan buries students in debt and it just starts a debt trap most people hardly get out of. What they really should've fought for is reduced costs and increased efficiency in public colleges along with some lucrative work-and-study programs. But since colleges brainwash kids with socialism you get "make the 1% bleed" funny how educational institutions are harboring dangerously radical ideas
Why do millionaires think they're entitled to move to the front of a line? Or to get a restaurant order correct. Or to tell someone how to raise their child? Or to not get a traffic ticket? Or to not pay taxes in the first place? Or to disobey federal orders? Cmon man, even the rich are entitled and you can't say they earned it.
Well that is only true to some extent because unless you are an anarcho-capitalist you have to to agree with some taxes to run basic functions of a state, the next question is to which extent should we allow it?
Nobody "earns" a billion dollars. No one can work 10,000 times harder than someone who brings in a 6 digit salary. They get it through luck, inheritance, and/or exploitation. We as a society have created a system that allows this to happen, and we can alter the system to help balance wealth by taxing more on disposable income rather than income that is needed to survive.
@Truth Seeker is right. Overall, the USA compared to other nations has a more balanced "distribution of wealth" compared to other countries. The tragic reality is that the USA has a double digit percentage of the population of nearly 30% earning less than $10k/yr. I was one of them. But I earned my way into the working/class middle class bracket. I paid back my loan in less than 10 years. And it was hard.
Lol, her family was “on multiple forms of government assistance “, yet she attended a private school in Chicago with an average tuition of $30,825/ year. Went on to Northeastern Univ. where tuition and fees come out to $57k/yr. Lifetime scholarship? Info provided by KSFO
Yeap, just wait for it... Saving up for your retirement of having an investment account is going to be labeled as hoarding now... All thanks to the mindless mob.
@Givi Mchedlishvili yes of course. The point I'm trying to make is that hoarding money isn't good for the economy, just how doing drugs or eating fatty foods isn't good for your body; that is not to say that people shouldn't have the freedom to do what they want with their money or bodies
Getting a college education is a choice and not a right. It's a choice to try to get into a college. There are entrance exams that have to be taken. There is nothing automatic about getting in college. Much like starting a business. Going to college has always been one person investing in their own future. No one owes that to you.
So she wants to tax me at a 90% rate to pay for her friends to sit around in a classroom, making nothing and contributing nothing to society all the while bashing me for working hard my entire life? That is the definition of insanity. Why isn't she railing against her professors' salaries, campus parking fees and cost of books?
Obviously the have no stats.or facts...or any idea what they are talking about!!They want "free" stuff..and they have no idea how much it would cost...here's a typical student who doesn't have a clue!!!
I enlisted in the military for 5 years. I literally earned my college. I have zero school debt. Go out and earn it. I have zero sympathy for people like this.
YUPPPP imagine how many people would take useless classes, how many people will register and not attend, how many won't take it seriously and just casually do it since its free etc etc
Conservative Mexican I think we'd be better of if college didn't exist we need to go back to the apprenticeship model and leave higher education to those who can afford it, if your broke and poor don't got to school to become even more poor go be useful to society.
Conservative Mexican Exactly, this little uninformed idiot won't graduate college, like BHO didn't of which is Harvard paid. For that fraud Obama's fake college education. What a big LIE. smh
Rich people tend to over exaggerate how much of their fortune is due to their own merits. It was also the society, workers and governments that made their fortune possible. And money sometimes has nothing to do with intelligence, let alone wisdom, especially when rich inherit their money.
James Tucker the main thing they miss is that the majority of wealthy people don’t have a wage or income. They have INVESTMENTS. How in the hell can u tax an investment?
@@treroney4720 the interent or capital gains can be taxed. That's general tax knowledge. They need to mandate teaching tax and finance, and economics in highschool. One of the most important aspects of life is not taught in school. They also need to teach the Constitution so that we are all acquainted with whats in it. I know omitting these subjects is by design. So we can be robbed blindly, or lulled into giving up our freedom for government cheese.
@Brandon Pera It is not hiding, it called tax sheltering. Care to listen how you can tax defer your money? simple examples are 401k, hedge funds, stock options, 10 or 30 years tax exempt bonds, etc. But wait, you can open more than 401k and IRA accounts and have them max contribution, are you following? Good, now off to private stock owning and international business and investing. Do you want that part? no problem, pay me 10 bucks to tell you the rest per months for the next 6 years. Now that's an investment that grows tax free!
Neil was way too nice. I’m sorry these kids are idiots. I paid my student debt they can pay theirs. Personal responsibility please. I was never this clueless, I worked two job while going to school, come on, so sick of these self indulgent children thinking the the world owes them everything. Get off your butt and work, put a little effort into your desired success.
@@asiandod325 If you think that $400,000 is too much student loan debt, then you shouldn't have taken on that much debt in the first place. How in the world do you expect to pay off nearly a half million dollars in debt while it accruing interest???.
The interest alone on $400,000 is about $20,000 per year. That is without paying any principal back. Are you graduating and immediately becoming a world class specialty surgeon or something? It isn't the Univeristy's fault or the government's fault or the economy's fault. It is the fault of people who take out these kinds of unreasonable loans. The math just doesn't work out unless you start making nearly a million dollars a year straight out of college.
@@johntuttle3245 Pal I don't think she is so inexperienced. Ignorance is the shroud that the evil hides under nowadays. Ask for something really stupid, if they give it to you, you win. If not, you can always claim you were inexperienced and poorly education. That's the best way out. Stupid inexperienced people do not lead a crowd of tens of thousands of humans. It's the shrewd one's that do.
It never occurs to her that treating people differently based on their income is not "justice" or "fairness", and that her sense of entitlement is entirely unwarranted.
There s such a thing as an apprenticeship. There are also schemes where you have day release from work. Or you could work and study in the evening and weekend
It’s been eight years since this was broadcasted (November2015). Assuming this child was 20 years old at the time, she is now 28. Wonder how that paycheck of hers looks now (assuming she even is working)? When she sees how little to live on in 2024, she should ask FOX to take down her embarrassment.
I think that the voting age should only be available to those who are 21 or older but less than 60. People over 60 start having neurons killed (like Biden) and are more delusional.
I have no problem contributing to public schools, even though my child doesn't attend. The education of our people is essential for progress. As an American and a Christian, I feel that it is my obligation.

To be fair, college tuition costs have gotten out of hand as have housing costs and everything else the younger generation needs to get ahead. I bought my first house just 25 years ago for a 28K and college was about $100 a credit. Minimum wage has about doubled, but college and housing have more than quadrupled.
@@CasiodorusRex during 25 years : skyrocket inflation, improve in education, improve in facility, increasing salary of lectures, more scholarship offer, more books in library, more infrastructure... it's understandably high... but i think it will be better if the tuition decrease by about 10-20%. it will be much better.
And this is all because the Federal government got involved in student loans . When the feds guarantees a loan and the college has zero incentive ( responsibility) to produce a quality education this is what you get . Used to also be when you were looking at an institution , where to go to college , they would boast about their employment rate ( We have 97% employment rate for our students ) for their graduates , no more . The university could care less if you learn anything they get their money and they are done with you. Hence their Billion dollar bank accounts. Remove federal government from the equation and they will be held accountable for the sub par education they are spewing. Also, the lie everyone needs to go to college is more evident than ever when you get young people like this girl who thinks anyone owes her anything. If you can’t afford college ( without going into massive debt) maybe you should be looking at a trade school , where there is a shortage of plumbers, welders, electricians ! all have programs to teach you while you work it’s called an apprenticeship.
@@vicm6561 Who did this? Who told all the kids they should be in college and the government was going to fund it with tax payer dollars? OBAMA! That guy just wrecked everything he touched.
6:02 Yes little girl there is a one percent in Greece but the old one percent left the country and the newly found one percent earned far less. This kept happening until the one percent you're talking about was nearly as poor as the bottom one percent.
@mike And University will be paid for by a education tax just as k-12 is currently is paid for. She has just as much of right to ask tax payers to fund her education as you do to fund your retirement and healthcare.
lithium i agree with you, these pull yourself up by your own bootstrap types (physically impossible btw) are often the ones who recieve the most outside help
This argument used to be a deterrent for having people like this join. But nowadays, the military is becoming an institution like public universities where its members demand that its policies bend to grand social justice movements. The military used to be an institution for preparing combat warriors who actually served time in battle fields and impose discipline on its members. Now it's mostly used as another avenue to milk the system and cave to public demands. I wouldn't be so quick to encourage weak people like them to joining it.
+Loogysnake Trophies for just showing up were the first, the "Gateway" entitlement of childhood. Entitlement is a learned behavior. When will parents learn?

ML I think that one might have flown over your head. Derek M wasn’t arguing for free tuition for any one group of people but he was just being sarcastic. He’s saying there aren’t many jobs specifically Liberal Arts/General Studies that pays > $100k. In fact, the medium salary of 5+ years of experience is $45k - $55k and starting is $35k - $40k.
True, especially when he said these people are very smart, if you tax them to pay for all admissions they'll leave what then? Who will pay after that? She says well um, they always be rich people here to get it from lol.
