[00:00:18]>> What?

[00:00:19]>> I mean, you do support capitalism, don't you? So, you should be okay with that.

[00:00:23]>> Yeah, so the capitalism that this this guy's talking about in China. By the way, I'm not Chinese, I'm Korean, but the capitalism that China is talking about is only accessible to the few and the very top people. Pretty much everyone else at the bottom 99% of that pyramid, uh yeah, capitalism is not accessible to them whatsoever.

And I'm an example where I was in the bottom 99% as an immigrant that came to this country 26 years ago, and it was the free market and capitalism that was available in the United States that allowed me to take advantage of the opportunities here.
