00:00Yeah, I do. I just have to say the United States over the past decades is certainly in the 20th and 21st century have lifted billions of people out of poverty and starvation because of sharing our beneficial economy and our missionaries, our business leaders going around the world, our government, taxpayer dollars and charitable dollars, pulling people out of starvation and poverty.
00:25It's been the number one lifter of people out of poverty, the United States in the world's history. And secondly, you look at the Uyghur people in China being oppressed, over a million Muslims imprisoned, tortured, raped, made to lose their native language and the religion and other minorities being oppressed as well in China, within China or what China claims is China.
00:52And I will just say human rights in China do not belong in the same sentence.
00:57OK, go ahead.
01:00Your sentiment is certainly appreciated, even though the facts don't support it.
01:04But I would say that if we look at the U.S. economic system, how many Americans are on the verge of economic security?
01:11I saw a number that, you know, the percentage of Americans with less than four hundred dollars in their bank account is shockingly large.
01:22And we look at, for example, in China, by comparison, twenty two million U.S. dollars in household savings.
01:29So, you know, reasonable people can disagree about the degree of accomplishment.
01:34But certainly I respect your passion, but only wish that the facts would support it.
01:41Well, the facts, just one more thing, one more thing.
01:44The facts do say that even the poorest Americans have more money than most people in the world.
01:50In fact, Germany, which is a rich European country, has a GDP lower than the lowest U.S. state.
01:56The American people, even the ones that claim to be poor and oppressed, have more than most people around.
02:02Yeah.
02:04The American people, even the ones that claim to be poor and oppressed, have more than most people around.
