One, as you know, I've always been very concerned about our welfare system and that it seems to discourage people getting married, encourage people raising a child without both parents in the home. We'd like to change some of these formulas. America went from a time in the early 60s in which 5% of the children were born without both parents at home till today, over 40%. I would say the biggest change in America from say, 1960 to 2020 is the reduction in the number of parents without boys, children at home. I'd like to see that addressed. (38:53–39:04)
