Just this morning I was feeding breakfast to kids in a local elementary school and thinking to myself like I feed my kids every day before they go to school. I Give them their food if they want it. Right. There are a lot of kids out there whose parents can't feed them because they don't have the means. And that breaks my heart. So I think just being a dad, in many ways, has led to me being a better governor. (12:38–12:43)
