Well, just when you thought that America had some of the strangest politics in the world,

0:04.3

our friends in South Korea say, hold my soju and then pull off what is like a kind of coup

0:09.4

that maybe lasted like a day or so.

0:12.4

But here's the question.

0:13.5

Like why is what is going on in South Carolina relevant to what is going on here within the United States?

0:18.6

And one of the things I think we need to understand, right, is that in South Korea,

in South Korea, which is devastating for their overall population.

1:08.6

So the reason why this is interesting is that you have this election and all of a sudden

1:13.0

young men revolt in South Korea vote overwhelmingly for the right wing candidate.

1:19.3

He comes into office and all of a sudden you have this huge battle with the establishment

1:25.1

and with this new right wing president. And there's this whole history of things that were going on with lawfare and corruption.

1:31.3

And lo and behold, the empire strikes back, right?
