| 0:00.0 | Hello, Paniachal feminists. Hello. Today is going to be a little different. We are going |
| 0:15.6 | to be quick and dirty today. We are giving you the student loan forgiveness, frequently |
| 0:23.0 | asked questions, answers. Everything you need to know about President Biden's recent |
| 0:28.0 | announcement about student debt forgiveness, about potentially future student debt forgiveness. |
| 0:32.6 | We're going to answer every question that we can today in a very short actionable episode. |
| 0:38.9 | We are literally recording this the day before it comes out. And we're doing this because |
| 0:42.7 | we know this info is valuable. We know it's important. And share it with your friends. |
| 0:46.6 | Share it with your peeps because I want every single person who qualifies for student debt |

| 1:51.1 | balances of around 31% of students while halfing the student debt balances of another 21% |
| 1:59.0 | of borrowers. So this impacts over half of the people, half of Americans who have student |
