| 0:00.0 | Are you ready to come on and take a free ride and you won't believe to where? |
| 0:05.1 | This is Scott Ott with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green, and this is Right Angle brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com. |
| 0:10.8 | And gentlemen, that free ride is going to be to Johns Hopkins University for a medical degree program made possible by a billion dollar donation from Michael Bloomberg, |
| 0:24.9 | whose Bloomberg News Service made him fabulously wealthy, who later served as mayor in New York City. |
| 0:32.0 | And this is not the first time that Bloomberg has made a contribution to Johns Hopkins University specifically. He's now given |
| 0:39.2 | some $4.55 billion to the university. But here's what it provides Stephen Green for a student |
| 0:46.6 | who's pursuing a medical degree. And it actually goes much broader than this, but the most, |
| 0:51.5 | the kind of the headline passage here is it costs about |

| 1:31.3 | But Bloomberg is a 1964 graduate of Johns Hopkins University and obviously has been faithful as a giver. |
| 1:38.3 | His previous donations to the university also were to help with tuition, including undergrad tuition. |
| 1:46.0 | Steve, honestly, I just did this story because I hear nothing in the news about wealthy people |
| 1:53.6 | other than those filthy millionaires and billionaires who are in it for themselves. |
| 1:58.3 | And the specific reason why Bloomberg and others do things like this is because |
| 2:04.0 | they want to make sure that money is not the obstacle that keeps bright students from being |
| 2:10.7 | able to go to a top-notch medical school. And then in many cases, return to places that |
