00:00I withdrew from the World Health Organization where we paid $500 million a year and China

00:11paid $39 million a year despite a much larger population.

00:16Think of that.

00:17China's paying $39 million to have 1.4 billion people.

00:21They offered me a $39 million.

00:22They said, we'll let you back in at $39 million.

00:24So we're going to reduce it from $500 million to $39 million.

00:27And I turned them down because it became so popular, I didn't know it would be well-received

00:32even at $39 million.

00:34But maybe we would consider doing it again.

00:36I don't know.

00:37Maybe we would.

00:38They have to clean it up a little bit.

00:39But China pays $39 million for $1.4 billion and we're paying $500 million for $325 million.

00:46I don't know what the hell is wrong with these people.

00:49Saudi Arabia just said that they're going to invest at least $600 billion.

00:54What the hell is this?

00:55Because of the election, by the way.

00:56And I believe they'll make it a trillion.

01:00I'm going to ask him to make it $1 trillion.

01:02What the hell?

01:03The money means nothing to them.

01:04You know where they made their money?

01:06From liquid gold, right?

01:08They got a lot of liquid gold.

01:09We have more.

01:10We have more than Saudi Arabia.

01:13They've got a lot.

01:14We've got more.

01:15We got more than anybody.

01:16We just don't use it because of the environment.

01:18These people are crazy.
