| 0:00.0 | It's remarkable talking about affirmative action right around the time of the passing of the Civil Rights Act. |
| 0:06.5 | Now, we can argue that in the 1960s, maybe there was a place for public policy to look a little bit different at the federal level. |
| 0:14.2 | But here we stand 60 years later. |
| 0:17.6 | And I think what the vast majority of American people recognize is that we are not the same |
| 0:21.5 | country that we were in the 1960s or the 1860s, and thank God that we're not. And it's time to |
| 0:28.6 | reflect that in our nation's policies. Outstanding is a production of the Washington Stand, where you can |

| 1:42.1 | So we don't celebrate things that should be celebrated, and we don't celebrate things that should be celebrated and we don't lament things that should be lamented because some people will say that's partisan. |
| 1:52.1 | That is just a different kind of error. |
| 1:55.1 | So we're in this interesting moment as we transition from one administration to another where lots of things are happening. |
