“I mean when we say Code Red, it's legitimately Code red. If you're 30 years old, old, you're the first generation in the history of this country not doing better than your parents. You're 100%. If you look at college graduation, it's going to be 2 to 1 at the UCs and CSUs here in the next five years. Women, which is fantastic.
