They say, okay, let's all run out.
They all run out like sheep.
No, no, no, no.
Stick there and study.
On Friday, many post-secondary students
staged a walkout.
What would you like to say to those students?
They should be protesting and thanking the government
for just investing 1,500 more seats.
We're putting millions and millions of dollars,
and these kids are so naive.
Like, they have to, when they walk out,
they got to figure this out,
because the government is actually,
1,500 more seats?
And we're funding it.
And then we put $6.4 billion and save the colleges and universities.
Like, give your head a shake, kids.
I'll tell you.
Focus on getting a job of the future.
Focus on STEM.
Focus on healthcare.
I think some of these kids, they get on the social media.
We got some bright, bright young people.
And that's our number one selling feature.
When we're around the world, and Vic is,
and I have these massive companies,
I always brag about our students, our 115,000 STEM graduates.
But some kids, like, I don't get it.
They read the social media, and half the people on social media
are a bunch of looney tunes, and it's just, it's crazy.
There's no backup, no nothing.
They say, okay, let's all run out.
They all run out like sheep.
No, no, no, no.
Stick there and study.
The ones that study, you're going to be successful
because the number one thing you need
when you leave university or college
is a good-paying job.
