Let me begin by sending our love to every family that has been affected by the hurricane, Hurricane Helene. I witnessed the damage firsthand yesterday in Georgia, and as you know, North Carolina was just devastated. We can't even get in. They don't have communication. They don't have anything. Towns were flooded. Asheville is, as you know, totally underwater. Big place. Massive numbers of lives were lost yesterday, the day before yesterday and still counting. (06:03–06:07)
