Anna Arnold interviews Brian Lamb about C-SPAN's origins and mission.

Lamb first started by asking students what they think know absolutely, setting him up to explain the importance of questioning everything and learning more.

Lamb expressed hopefulness towards the younger generation, which he sees is unfairly criticized as not being engaged in politics, something which he states is inaccurate and has been said by other older generations.

Lamb concluded his speech by talking about his time in the Oval Office, recalling the times he has interviewed Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and taking questions from students.
