Here was her message to the students. Have more kids earlier. Just the context of doing this at Yale,

I mean, I'm sitting there looking around and the kids being like, okay, which one of you will be the next Supreme Court justice?

0:10.7

Who's going to be a senator? Sadly, many of them. There isn't this sense of like, oh, we're snowflakes and this is dangerous, unsafe space at all. These kids were like going at it. How do we afford kids in an economic climate?
