Unfortunately, this country has a very long history of hatred and was built on that.
3:28:33
But we are working very diligently to change it because there is enough resources for all.
3:28:41
We can change that paradigm.
3:28:42
Unfortunately, it's going to take a lot of work given the incoming administration and their hateful rhetoric.
3:28:48
But I would like to talk to you more offline.

Thank you for your testimony.
