Bloomberg profile
Kirk and Turning Point are profiled by Bloomberg. The article says that the group’s paid workers are each supposed to make at least 1,500 student contacts per semester. and that about 20,000 people have attended a Turning Point event, posted on social media, or volunteered for the group’s events. The organization claims it registered 10,30 voters in Florida in April 2015, and is looking to recruit at least 1000 activists in key battleground states each month. Kirk says he is following the Moveon.org model to grow the group:
I don’t think I agree with them on a single issue. But I have nothing but respect for how successful they’ve been.
Student loan forgiveness interview
Kirk joins The Willis Report to discuss Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposal to forgive student loans.
I think it’s totally absurd. What this really is, is a populist push by the base of the Democrat party to punish success and rich people in this country. If you really read the language of this bill, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. The focus point of what Elizabeth Warren is trying to do is, she’s trying to say, “These evil Republicans, they don’t want to help students, they would rather help big Republican donors”…I think this is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Value of college education interview
Willis interviews Kirk about the value of a college education:
Kids are waist deep in debt, and waht it does is disallows for entrepreneurial innoc=vation, and kids wont be able to follow their dreamsand they’re in some kind fo servitude for the next 20-30 years.
