The total aid budget was $60 or $70 billion.

So you're talking about a very small percentage.

So we're not saying don't fund Newark or don't fund L.A., fund Nigeria, fund Haiti, fund Afghanistan.

We're saying for an absolutely tiny proportion of the funds that you're putting in to your local problems, put them internationally.

I just want to give you one example of that just because it really stuck in my head.

We've been delivering vaccine doses in four East African countries.

Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, and Somalia, they're war torn.

And there were 2 million kids with no immunization at all.

That's bad for them, bad for the spread of disease.

We've now delivered 13 million vaccine doses to those 1.9 million kids for $4 a shot, Don.

$4 a shot.

And so it's the value for money case because you can make so much difference for so little.

It plays all sorts of ways.

It's not a simple left-right thing because many people would say,

Oh, yeah, definitely.

Because the truth is political leaders elected or not, they their main job is not usually on the international front.

They're thrust into crisis.

It puts them into international crisis.

But in the end, they're the decision maker.

And our point about the humanitarian situation is a small part of your time can have a big and outsized difference.
