You want more of this money to go to things that actually help your family? Here's how we do it. I think it's just a matter of explaining it. And I do think you're right. We get...

You know, you say numbers, whether it's about money, whether it's about the amount of people who are devastated after a hurricane and you hear a number and it's just a number and you don't think these are people. This is actually a real thing. And I think that we need to do a better job in journalism and explaining that like, no, no, this is not just a number. Think about the families.
