Keely Mullen, an organizer for the Million Student March movement, joined Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto on the air Thursday to discuss the movement’s demands for free public college, student debt cancelation and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for student workers. In the awkward 9-minute interview, Cavuto repeatedly cited facts and figures that seemed to fluster the student.

When asked who would pick up the tab for the demands she listed, Mullen said, “The 1 percent of people who are hoarding the wealth and causing a catastrophe students are facing.”

“If the 1 percent just had their taxes raised a few years ago back to almost 40 percent then to pay for the healthcare law, they had them raised another few percentage points, then they had their deductions limited to raise another couple points — depending on the state or locality — they’re pushing over about 50 percent in taxes,” Cavuto told Mullen. “How much more do you think they should pay?”

Cavuto’s question, asked within the first two minutes of the interview, became the centerpiece of the entire discussion, as Mullen was unable to provide a clear answer.

Hasn’t figured out its all the stuff you learn after you know it all that really counts.

This falls under the category of "Too stupid to be humiliated".......

If Keely is considered one of the "best and brightest" GOD save us

[wardaddy]

Or something equally worthless like my own lol

How did she get into college?

This sounds like something I would hear from a child.

Yes, I agree she might have a bright future as a pole dance. Unfortunately for her, she is not Polish..

I watched the whole thing. Cavuto was incredibly patient. She is so uneducated. Needs to read Plunder & Deceit by Mark Levin. Scary thing is she will probably go back and watch the video and think she did a great job. Questions I would also have asked her -
What about the kids who don't want to go to college? Maybe they want to start up a business or be employed as a tradesman. What should they get to be fair?
If your parents who are on government assistance can't pay for your education why should I? What's special about you that you should deserve a free ride?

Thanks,
I DVR both Kelly and Cavuto so I saw it on Cavuto yesterday and it was so funny that Kelly picked up the clip and had fun with it.

She joked about the fruit loop saying that there will always be a 1%.

Kelly said to her guest (not the fruit loop)

“Right, You are in the 1% and after you leave the country I will be in the new 1%”

Embarrassed?

I bet like all her friends are like so impressed with like how totally she owned that privileged old white guy. They will like say “you totally crushed it, girl!”

I don’t think he was brutal at all. He just asked her logical questions.

“I don’t think he was brutal at all. He just asked her logical questions.”

That, in itself, was brutal. I thought about this for a while, and the reason that he didn’t rip her to shreds on television for all to see is basically the same reason that you don’t slap around a mentally defective child for wetting the bed. These people are intellectually and morally weak, and once you work your way past the few multi-syllabic words that they actually know (but can’t define!) parroted from their professors, they have nothing.

At the beginning of the interview I was impression that she was some kind of spokesmen or representative of this movement. If she is, just think how brutal someone like Limbaugh would have been. Cavuto was actually more kind and accommodating than he could have been.

Cavuto's show is called Common Sense, This guest was the antithesis of that.

[Rusty0604]

From what I’ve read, she is a representative of the group. Cavuto was a lot more patient with her than I could have been.I would have pulled a Trump on her and called her a stupid loser, no matter what a nice kid she seemed to be. Those people need to grow up.
