00:00:00.000 The U.S. economy just slammed into reverse, or at least the labor market did, shedding 23,000 jobs last month and dropping a political landmine just 88 days before the midterms.
00:00:10.420 Today's unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, which is great on its face, but only because more Americans stopped looking for work.
00:00:17.960 We're also learning the job market was much weaker than we thought in May and June.
00:00:22.140 It's an economic one-two punch. Jobs are disappearing, at least last month, while prices remain high.
00:00:27.740 dangerous mix, reviving at least a little bit of fear about one of the most dreaded words in
00:00:33.380 economics and politics, stagflation. It came down to Cassidy because Republicans Lisa Murkowski and
00:00:39.000 Susan Collins said they'd oppose Blanche, leaving the Louisiana senator as the actual make or break 0.92
00:00:44.700 here. Murkowski argued today she doesn't trust that Blanche will push back on the president, 1.00
00:00:49.440 among other things. Cassidy seemed to suggest that it might not matter much, that in the end, 0.99
00:00:54.220 Blanche is only there to advise Trump, but that Trump makes the final call no matter who his
00:00:58.140 attorney general is. He doesn't always take advice, Cassidy said. Cassidy also argued that
00:01:02.880 the vote itself was somewhat inconsequential since Blanche could remain as acting AG even without
00:01:07.840 confirmation. With the future of the Justice Department on the line, I want to bring in
00:01:12.700 Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal. He's a member of the Judiciary Committee.
00:01:17.380 Senator, what is your reaction to what you just heard from Bill Cassidy today,
00:01:21.420 the reasoning that he laid out, and basically how he got to yes, even an unenthusiastic one?
00:01:28.240 Deep disappointment, because this vote is so cravenly wrong for the country,
00:01:37.300 as well as ultimately, I think, for Senator Cassidy.
00:01:41.700 I think it will go down as one of his graver mistakes,
00:01:47.420 And not surprising because I have predicted all along that Republicans would support Blanche in spite of his being unfit and his being more loyal to the president than to the Constitution or to the country.
00:02:03.920 And so I am really disappointed, but not surprised.
00:02:10.920 Yes, for those of you who want to do your research on this, Section 215A of the Immigration and Nationality Act gives the president this authority.
00:02:20.860 215A of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
00:02:23.180 Very rarely used, probably one of the strongest laws in the entire federal code, gives him this power.
00:02:28.480 And that's not the only, but it's the main statutory authority that's being used in this order. 0.63
00:02:32.300 So birth tourism is by definition a fraud on the American system, on the American taxpayer, on the American visa.
00:02:40.140 If you're coming here, and again, your stated purpose is that you're a tourist, then by definition, you are here to come for a few weeks, look at what we have, engage in commerce, and leave. 0.57
00:02:51.320 So if you're telling a consular officer you're here as a tourist, but your true purpose and intent is to go to a baby mill, give birth, and try to mint an American citizen while you're here, then you're committing a fraud against the American government.
00:03:04.740 And by definition, that visa can and should and will be now denied. 0.74
00:03:08.020 to have a child, to make that child an automatic citizen,
00:03:12.280 leave our country, and then have a U.S. citizen child.
00:03:15.440 It gives them access, under this broken system,
00:03:17.940 to welfare benefits, ultimately to the voting booth,
00:03:20.880 and all the other rights and privileges 0.53
00:03:22.500 that belong solely to Americans. 0.68
00:03:24.640 So that practice of birth tourism
00:03:27.080 is, as of the signing of this order, hereby banned.
00:03:31.760 Or saying that this wouldn't run afoul
00:03:33.420 of the Supreme Court's decision,
00:03:34.860 but is that actually the case here?
00:03:36.740 Where's the overlap?
00:03:38.480 I'm not sure, Ali, that their view of this is going to be one shared by the Supreme Court.
00:03:43.060 There are two different orders, as you noted.
00:03:44.880 Let's start with the one that is perhaps more likely to stand up to legal scrutiny,
00:03:48.980 which is the order that basically restricts the granting of visas to people who want to come to this country
00:03:54.260 with the intent to overstay their visas and have children here.
00:03:57.240 That grants some authority to the Secretaries of Homeland Security and state to restrict who visas are given to in the first instance.
00:04:03.540 It's that second order that we're really going to see some court scrutiny about.
00:04:08.620 And that's because there are very limited exceptions to who has birthright citizenship in this country.
00:04:13.440 Almost everyone born in the country is considered a citizen.
00:04:16.340 But there are a handful of exceptions.
00:04:18.440 And through this executive order, you can see the Trump administration trying to stretch some of those exceptions as well as create others, particularly with respect to this practice that they call birth tourism.
00:04:29.500 them. Okay, so let's dive a little bit deeper there, Corey, because the push is a big pillar
00:04:34.060 of the plans. And I want to get your reaction to something that White House Staff Secretary
00:04:37.860 Will Scharf said. Listen to that. We look very heavily at denying visas.
00:04:45.620 This list that President Trump seemingly wants, right? I kind of want to know also who would be
00:04:52.600 on this list, but what I would do with that list as a reporter, what you would do at that list as
00:04:56.120 reported what the American people would do with that list of their representatives who voted for
00:05:00.440 the quote-unquote Save America Act would be different than what Donald Trump wants it for.
00:05:05.440 Well, yes. Whoever votes for that bill is voting for a pretty blatantly bad bill that would suppress
00:05:11.680 votes. And we're here in August, you know, September, October, three months before the
00:05:17.520 midterms. The president's popularity is in the toilet. Republicans are full-on in re-election
00:05:23.480 mode they are very focused on appealing to voters talking about affordability talking about the
00:05:29.380 economy the things that regular people want to talk about and feel every day and trump is in
00:05:34.380 the toilet with his ratings and talking about uh making you know 3 a.m rants on social media
00:05:41.460 about an individual senator he may not like he is uh driving us further into an unending war he's
00:05:48.660 doing all these things that are extremely unpopular as gas prices go up you know yada yada
00:05:52.760 So, of course, he's like, oh, people are going to, you know, we got to protect the elections in November because widespread voter fraud, I guess.
00:06:00.620 But that's the same thing. This is just another continuation of what happened in 2020.
00:06:05.420 It's just unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud.
00:06:08.960 And in this case, it's this idea that people who are not citizens are going to be rushing to the polls to vote and that this bill will prevent that from happening.
00:06:16.520 But the reality is it's already illegal for people to vote if you're not a citizen.
00:06:21.480 So this bill is claims to fix a problem that is not happening.
00:06:25.720 Yeah, I would go even further than 2020 and 2016.
00:06:29.780 Rick, when he lost to Ted Cruz and the Iowa caucus, he said it was because of some kind of voter fraud.
00:06:35.800 In 2016, he said that in California, the numbers had to be faked because he lost the three million votes there.
00:06:44.740 You know, when you are thinking of kind of how this election is going to play out,
00:06:49.900 You know, I have always had the question, I think a lot of us reporters have had the question of whether, why the president doesn't seem more concerned about the outcome of the election.
00:06:59.160 Why doesn't he seem to be doing the things that we know presidents would do if they were trying to stomp the bleeding of supporters around the country, whether that be independents or independent-leaning Republicans or Republicans or MAGA Republicans.
00:07:12.980 And the Save America Act feels like that's the answer.
00:07:15.780 It feels like he wants to, in some way, shape or form, shenanigan within this election in 2026.
00:07:24.360 You know, Eugene, I think that that's a really good point is this is, I think, a setup for watching a Democratic wave hit the country this fall, failing completely to address affordability.
00:07:36.560 He thinks it's a joke and a fraud, all that stuff.
00:07:38.360 But I also think he's setting it up for the fall to say, Mike Johnson, don't seat these newly elected elected Democrats.
00:07:45.440 It's all a fraud. I think he's looking to do something to raise that level of chaos and uncertainty and to give Republicans in the fall after the election is over something to cling to, to try, as you said, a shenanigan here to to to deny the Democrats a victory this fall.
00:08:02.320 it's friday 7 august in the year of our lord 2026 with everything going on todd blanche now
00:08:09.560 is going to be um he confirmed and and uh hopefully sworn in sworn in asap and get to work
00:08:16.580 um i want to make sure that we prioritize some of the most important things that are going on
00:08:22.800 on a friday as a wrap-up show tomorrow is going to be absolutely insane as is today's show i want
00:08:28.760 to continue on because i got a tremendous amount of feedback um ambassador tan morris tan joins us
00:08:34.640 now from south korea sir i just want to go back over you're actually facing what which was kind
00:08:41.340 of a little bit confusing and i it's on my shoulders why it was the audience didn't fully
00:08:46.640 understand that one of the reasons that they're saying you're being held that you were one of the
00:08:53.520 most important i think ambassadors we had in president trump's first term uh and you've been
00:08:58.620 uh there for the south korean people and as you know in the war room i i essentially lived in
00:09:04.400 south korea virtually on and off for a couple of years had a lot of businesses there and just have
00:09:10.060 you know given my experience in the military and then later think so highly of the south korean
00:09:15.760 people and they're such a great ally and most importantly such an important ally in this war
00:09:20.900 against the chinese communist party that they have initiated on us um i didn't think i don't 0.91
00:09:26.500 think people fully realize that the the ccp aligned government in south korea has you up 0.66
00:09:35.140 on criminal charges is that correct that's exactly right so that can entail extensive jail time it 0.99
00:09:42.200 can entail a high fine it can entail the removing of various rights and privileges so those are the
00:09:50.580 potential stakes of the really illegitimate lawfare that is happening because it is wrong
00:10:00.520 jurisdictionally, it's wrong procedurally, and it's wrong substantively. It's wrong jurisdictionally
00:10:05.620 because this has no place being, this should not be in a South Korean court at all for a U.S.
00:10:11.640 But hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Before we go into all that and the details,
00:10:17.200 i just remind people because we were at the war room shoulder to shoulder with you before we get
00:10:22.880 to the procedure why it's wrong what exactly because we had you on the show all the time
00:10:28.200 during this all-important the the situation with the the prior government and and put you know
00:10:33.780 going to martial law and then being reversed it was a very confusing situation it was an intense
00:10:38.920 campaign uh you wrote we had you on all the time we had other you know uh nina kim and others uh
00:10:48.380 grace so many other people charlie kirk went over there later what exactly happened because we had
00:10:54.680 you on all the time what are they saying you specifically did and in what time frame because
00:10:58.980 i think that would help people think through how crazy this is so what are they talking about
00:11:04.400 So in June of 2025, I was with the rest of the election monitoring team, a number of wonderful people from the U.S.
00:11:15.840 You know them, Brad Thayer, John Mills, Grant Newsham.
00:11:20.040 And we were sharing about what we found as an election monitoring team in South Korea.
00:11:25.840 And in the Q&A time, there was a question that was asked.
00:11:28.700 And in response to that question, I had stated that it is reported that, and then I mentioned alleged crimes that have reportedly been committed by the person who has fraudulently seized the presidential office.
00:11:48.920 And so for a U.S. citizen to speak on U.S. soil, that is squarely protected by the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.
00:12:00.000 And it's right at the center of it because political speech is at the core of free speech and political speech about a public political figure is right in the dead center of what is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
00:12:14.660 So how is it then that this is being prosecuted?
00:12:18.780 Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on a second. I just I just want to make sure we're very specific about this.
00:12:24.500 I remember some of the great contributors, you know, Dr. Thayer, who's just coming out with a new book on our hundred year war against communism.
00:12:31.840 Right. On that in June of twenty twenty five on the election election monitoring, you know, podcast.
00:12:37.660 And we have you guys on and you were doing streaming. You answered a question and you were in the United States.
00:12:44.260 Correct. When you answered the question. That's correct.
00:12:47.180 you answered the question and this is why now when you visited Korea they're not like you
00:12:55.040 they accused you they charged you with a crime after you got to Korea sir yes what's also ironic
00:13:02.480 about it is that they at first said there's no jurisdiction here because this was a U.S. citizen
00:13:09.360 speaking on U.S. soil but then they decide to reverse course after I came into the country
00:13:14.660 this most recent time. And so then the police travel banned me and then the prosecutors travel
00:13:20.380 banned me. And then I was given a third travel ban that runs through August 15th. I just found
00:13:27.140 out today that the court has not allowed me to leave tomorrow. I had a ticket and now I'm trying
00:13:36.100 to rearrange that. And so these judges are not even giving me due, you know, due process by
00:13:43.560 giving me notice of things they're rejecting these appeals for stays on the travel ban meaning
00:13:52.420 to let me go and they're rejecting those on the day when my flight is scheduled and they're doing
00:14:00.520 it around the time of my flight and so they have failed to let me know about all sorts of major
00:14:07.160 things sometimes I hear through the news what is happening in my case because they're not letting
00:14:12.060 me know. Notice is a central part of due process, and they're failing to follow that.
00:14:22.980 Ambassador Morris Tan, this is one of the most outrageous things we've ever encountered in the
00:14:29.200 world, and we've encountered a lot of outrageous things. A patron hero. Ambassador Morris Tan,
00:14:35.700 next in the world.
00:14:42.060 you don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector and you don't wait
00:15:04.420 until the wind and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane
00:15:10.780 And you don't reach for your seatbelt after the impact because after the crash, the hurricane, or the house fire, it's too late.
00:15:19.760 Similarly, you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy gold.
00:15:24.260 It's too late then.
00:15:25.680 Diversify with precious metals and diversify now because you never know what will threaten your savings next.
00:15:33.160 Persistent inflation, a weakening dollar, unexpected financial disruptions.
00:15:37.340 You don't know what's coming, but you can take preventative steps, and you can take them today.
00:15:42.780 Do that right now by requesting a free information kit on gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group.
00:15:49.180 Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898.
00:15:54.860 There is no cost and no obligation, just straightforward information on how you can diversify your savings,
00:16:00.560 even an IRA or 401K with gold.
00:16:04.500 I trust Birch Gold.
00:16:05.700 You should trust them, too. Text Bannon at 9-8-9-8-9-8. Take action and do it today.
00:16:12.900 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:19.960 Welcome back. Ambassador Tan is still in South Korea.
00:16:26.020 Given what you just laid out, Ambassador, go back to how this is so wrong.
00:16:30.540 I mean, the audience was shocked yesterday, now that we've clarified it even more.
00:16:35.700 People remember, I mean, this, the Warren Posse was essentially your audience and obviously people in South Korea, the election monitoring.
00:16:44.480 And you had some of the, you know, John Mills is in the State Department today.
00:16:50.060 Bradley Thayer is coming out with a huge book in the middle of August on the 100-year war against communism.
00:16:58.920 And a part of this book is about the CCP-affiliated government, current government, and the election issues that took place in South Korea.
00:17:10.360 So how did they charge you, and what did they charge you with, and then what is your defense, and how can we be of assistance to make sure that you are allowed to return to the United States and these charges are dropped, sir?
00:17:21.580 yeah they have a category that doesn't even exist in the united states criminal defamation
00:17:28.900 defamation is not a criminal charge in the united states and that is what they are charging me with
00:17:36.320 and i have uh three excellent attorneys uh we are preparing for the for day one of trial which is
00:17:46.640 September 11th of all days. And, you know, if you look under Korean law at the time when the
00:17:55.640 statements were made, if the statement was true or believed to be true and in the public interest,
00:18:01.580 then it is protected. It is also protected constitutionally in the South Korean constitution.
00:18:08.140 Furthermore, South Korea has ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political
00:18:14.260 rights, Article 19 of which protects free speech and free expression. And so whether it's under
00:18:20.800 the U.S. Constitution, whether it's under the Korean Constitution, or whether it's under this
00:18:25.420 treaty that South Korea has ratified, there's no way that this should be deemed a meritorious case
00:18:32.460 at all. It shouldn't even be in a South Korean court in the first place. If you imagine that
00:18:39.440 someone in the U.S. decided to say something about Macron that Macron did not like, and
00:18:46.940 the person decides to visit Normandy to think about D-Day and what happened there.
00:18:53.980 And then they are hauled into a court in France, and they are not allowed to leave France because
00:19:00.900 of the statement that they made about Macron back in the United States.
00:19:04.820 That's an analogy of what's going on here.
00:19:09.440 So, Juan Miko, once again, give me all your defenses about this. You're talking about procedure. Just walk through the official defenses for this thing, because obviously somebody in the State Department's got to get engaged on this, because it's outrageous we have an ambassador that was so prominent in the first term, now under basically house arrest in South Korea. So walk us through it.
00:19:33.480 there's no jurisdiction by the court that due process has been violated by not giving me notice
00:19:41.600 and that it is protected by free speech law, whether Korean, American, or international.
00:19:51.080 And furthermore, we have ways of getting at the truth of the allegations as well. And so we have
00:20:01.060 material, we have documentary, we have circumstantial and other evidence in regards to
00:20:07.300 the allegations of what had happened.
00:20:14.100 Ambassador, the situation continues to deteriorate in the South China Sea, around the Philippines,
00:20:23.580 and the Straits of Taiwan. With Taiwan, the Chinese military are not simply going through
00:20:29.440 exercises they're going through practice right right now with a potential military assault
00:20:36.820 onto taiwan i don't think you look at any other way what are your thoughts of that
00:20:40.760 and particularly how korea plays into that south korea and what's going on with this current
00:20:46.520 government can we count on because i think some people in washington are oblivious
00:20:50.440 are oblivious to this uh can people really going to be able to count on south korea as
00:20:56.380 the great ally it's always been, particularly in East Asia and around the South China Sea, sir?
00:21:03.420 Well, the fake president of Korea has explicitly said that he would, that a cross-strait invasion
00:21:10.980 of Taiwan, what does that have to do with us? And he also said, in response to somebody asking him
00:21:18.440 again about this, he said, I will answer that question about what I would do about an invasion
00:21:24.200 of Taiwan after aliens have invaded Earth. And so he has no commitment to do so and has
00:21:32.920 stated such. And this is also the first time in the history of the Korean-American alliance
00:21:40.480 where the U.S. is fighting a war and the South Koreans are not right there with the Americans.
00:21:46.660 And that is what is happening in the Iran war right now. This president has not only failed
00:21:52.040 to help America in this fight, which is the first time in the history of the alliance.
00:21:56.940 He is affirmatively sending money to the Iranians, in fact.
00:22:01.160 And he is also accusing the Israelis of committing a holocaust.
00:22:06.000 How is he sending money to the Iranians?
00:22:13.720 He is doing it in the name of humanitarian aid and sending it over.
00:22:20.160 And this is in lieu of actually sending military help to America, for America, in fighting alongside America.
00:22:30.520 Every single war prior to this that America has fought, the South Koreans were fighting alongside American forces.
00:22:37.940 And under this fake president as well, you had a joint military exercise that was supposed to be between the U.S., Japan and South Korea.
00:22:45.480 For the first time, as far as I'm aware, South Korea did not participate.
00:22:51.220 And when the Chinese communists were building structures in the sea west of South Korea, rather than objecting to what the CCP is doing there, instead, this regime was complaining that the U.S. did not like that and was complaining to the U.S. along these lines. 0.51
00:23:12.980 And furthermore, they are arming the soldiers at the DMZ with batons. 0.65
00:23:19.880 They are telling them if they are fired upon, they need to write a report and not return fire.
00:23:26.540 And can you just imagine, you know, we are writing a report now.
00:23:30.140 We are under fire.
00:23:31.200 Our soldiers are dying left and right.
00:23:33.120 And we are writing this report and our soldiers are not allowed to fire back. 0.91
00:23:37.460 You know, this is ludicrous.
00:23:39.620 They have destroyed counterintelligence, both in the National Intelligence Service, NIS, as well as the Defense Counterintelligence Command.
00:23:47.980 This regime has dismantled the drone command, has replaced all the flag officers, and even down through the colonels as well, all in one fell swoop. 0.88
00:24:00.420 This is a regime that is destroying the alliance and destroying the preparedness of Korea to do the very sort of thing that you were describing, 0.82
00:24:10.860 whether it would be to come to the defense of Taiwan or the Philippines or Japan, for that matter. 0.71
00:24:18.060 These are things that this regime is not prepared to do and, in fact, is continuously opening up the country to a takeover from North Korea as well. 0.57
00:24:29.760 This is all the reality of what is happening in South Korea under this fake illegitimate regime.
00:24:37.720 Some of the greatest patriots we have in our country, in America, are the South Koreans, South Korean Americans.
00:24:45.960 Where do you think the Korean community in the United States, where do they stand on this, particularly this issue with this CCP-aligned government now in power in Seoul?
00:24:55.500 yeah you know the Korean American community is not even as united as the Koreans in South Korea
00:25:06.360 because the Koreans in South Korea are you know like around 90 percent of the Koreans in South
00:25:13.160 Korea consider the U.S. to be the most important ally you may have approximately a two-third to
00:25:20.500 one third liberal conservative split amongst Korean Americans. And so there are those who
00:25:27.920 are applauding this regime. And there are those who are just ignorant and don't know what's going 0.99
00:25:35.300 on. And then you have a conservative contingent that cares deeply about this, a bunch of whom 0.98
00:25:44.600 are flying into Korea to try to help fight against this,
00:25:49.980 joining the protests going on in the Olympic Park and other places.
00:25:55.000 And so that is a rough breakdown of how things look.
00:26:03.380 Let me ask you, why on the last weekend of his life,
00:26:08.840 Charlie Kirk, who was about to go on this huge tour
00:26:11.400 and had so many pressures on him,
00:26:12.800 was doing so many things at the White House,
00:26:15.300 Why did he choose to go to, you know, because it's what?
00:26:19.780 It's a 12 or 14 hour flight.
00:26:21.320 I mean, having done it so many times, you're so tired of jet lag.
00:26:25.640 Grace and Mo went with him, but he went over for part of a spiritual.
00:26:29.080 The other was kind of practical, political.
00:26:31.880 Why would Charlie Kirk think it was so important?
00:26:34.660 I tell you what, I want this answer on the other side, Ambassador, because I know our audience are huge supporters of Charlie Kirk.
00:26:42.620 Ambassador Morris Tan is with us.
00:26:45.440 The ambassador is under essentially house arrest in Korea.
00:26:50.560 He's been charged with crimes just for questioning some of the issues that we did here in the war room.
00:26:55.940 And, of course, the election integrity monitoring, the election monitoring group that they had, which had Colonel John Mills on it, Dr. Bradley Thayer, Colonel Grant Newsham.
00:27:06.420 Some of the standards or the stalwarts of the war room, including Colonel Mills, is now in the government, actually in the State Department.
00:27:14.120 So it's outrageous what they're trying to do with Ambassador Tan.
00:27:18.600 We'll get back to his answer.
00:27:20.600 Also, a fire breather.
00:27:22.960 You know, today on CNN, they talked about the issues of MAGA, maybe particularly non-collectual graduates losing confidence in the MAGA movement.
00:27:33.900 We're going to have a guy from Connecticut that I think is going to set you right on that,
00:27:37.440 a real warrior, and he's running for Congress in Connecticut 5.
00:27:42.600 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:28:11.100 Feels like our country finally has momentum again with our leaders fighting to restore common sense in America first.
00:28:19.440 But we've seen this before.
00:28:20.680 Conservatives get comfortable and the left starts taking background inch by inch.
00:28:25.620 We cannot let that happen in these midterms.
00:28:29.020 America needs every one of us in the fight.

00:30:46.820 Do it.
00:30:48.580 Ambassador Morris Tan, why did Charlie Kirk spend the last weekend of his life?
00:30:53.940 taking a long flight over, spending time with South Koreans,
00:30:57.760 both on the spiritual side and the political side through turning point.
00:31:02.060 Why did he do that, sir?
00:31:04.460 You know, Charlie Kirk wanted to be remembered most for his faith in God
00:31:09.460 and standing for that and speaking out truth in defense of his faith in the Lord.
00:31:16.560 And when you have a country like South Korea,
00:31:19.720 which together with the United States are the top two missionary sending countries in the world.
00:31:25.000 When you have a country like South Korea, where six out of the 10 largest Christian churches in the world are in South Korea.
00:31:31.720 When you have a country like South Korea, that is the highest educated, most educated populace in the world.
00:31:42.200 It has the most bandwidth per person in the world.
00:31:45.500 And yet there are all these battles that are going on politically and otherwise that I think Charlie wanted to address.
00:31:55.600 And I actually listened to and watched all of his speeches prior to his assassination.
00:32:03.720 And so I think it's about the Great Commission.
00:32:06.240 I think it's about helping the ally that resembles the United States the most in terms of the systems, in terms of the way the people think, the culture, not to mention just the love that the Korean people and Korean people have for America and for Americans.
00:32:26.140 And so he was very warmly received.
00:32:29.780 And I think the people who are listening to him found him very inspiring.
00:32:34.640 He was encouraging people to also get married and have families, which is something that has been, has gone down a lot in South Korea, sadly.
00:32:46.780 And he addressed that issue as well.
00:32:49.140 But I think it's about finishing the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:32:53.360 I think it's about keeping this close blood ally from falling into these communizing hands that are currently wielding power in really overwhelming sorts of ways.
00:33:11.460 And so Charlie really made a mark on his last international trip by coming to South Korea, so much so that after his death, you had young people marching through the streets of Korea, chanting, we are Charlie Kirk.
00:33:28.240 And that was something that was really powerful to see how they were so inspired by him and so encouraged by him and so challenged by what he had to share that they just identified with him so much that they said, we are Charlie Kirk.
00:33:47.080 Ambassador, one more time, quickly.
00:33:49.140 The second, what, greatest people that send missionaries out throughout the world are the South Koreans.
00:33:55.340 Am I correct in that?
00:33:56.800 That's right.
00:33:57.440 U.S. is number one, South Korea is number two, and it was American evangelical Christian
00:34:03.020 missionaries that really pioneered Christianity into Korea in the late 1800s.
00:34:10.020 Korea was unreached with the gospel of Jesus Christ until the late 1800s, and it was American
00:34:15.880 missionaries that really pioneered it, started schools, started hospitals, did all sorts
00:34:23.020 of things to bless the country. And for a country to become that Christian in such a short amount of 0.99
00:34:32.400 time is, if not unprecedented, practically unprecedented in all of Christian history.
00:34:39.040 And that too was very much tied in with the United States of America and the U.S. missionaries who
00:34:45.240 came. I've studied that pioneer missionary period. It's greatly inspiring. I would encourage others
00:34:51.560 to look at it as well. And it is a great chapter in the history of missions that has emerged out
00:34:59.540 from the United States, and in this case, into Korea. Ambassador Tan, where do we go right now
00:35:06.860 to find out more about your situation and social media? People want to get very involved in this.
00:35:11.960 Where do they go, sir? Yes, on X, which is very active along these lines, with all sorts of
00:35:18.580 korean patriots involved in posting things at morse h tan and then also on true social
00:35:25.380 and facebook morse tan is um where i go under on facebook i have a very small instagram presence
00:35:33.960 so far just started those are the four platforms that i've engaged with
00:35:37.800 thank you sir appreciate you um we'll look forward to having you back and your fight is our fight
00:35:46.180 fishbacks running for governor of florida and i asked him this question today after showing this
00:35:53.920 tape we have a uh individual that is a fighter and is running up in connecticut tough territory
00:35:59.560 for the for the uh for a house seat let's go and play this clip i want him to respond to it
00:36:04.040 and chief data analyst harry and so what's going on here what is going on mr berman what's going
00:36:10.560 on is simple, is the MAGA movement was built among the working class, non-college Americans.
00:36:16.780 And take a look at this trend line that we're looking at in the data. Here we go. Okay,
00:36:20.260 net favorability rating, the MAGA movement, non-college adults. Back in October of 2024,
00:36:25.060 look at that, on the plus side of ledger, positive, plus six points. Down we go into
00:36:30.740 the Atlantic Ocean. Now, look at this movement. Now, minus 22 points. That is a shift, Johnny
00:36:36.740 be of 28 points away from the MAGA movement, away with non-college Americans. So the bottom line is
00:36:45.720 the group at which the Trump movement was built upon, they are shifting away and saying,
00:36:50.920 we don't like MAGA anymore. Same question, same poll here. This is really interesting.
00:36:54.720 Let me have it. Let me have it. Jonathan DeBarros, you're running up in Connecticut 5
00:37:00.540 in a very tough primary. You're working class. Talk to me about it. What are you finding out
00:37:06.020 Is the working class moving away from the MAGA movement? And if so, what are you doing about it, sir?
00:37:14.200 I think that's a fallacy. And I think that's the that's the propaganda spread by the left.
00:37:21.080 And that's the main reason why the radical left assassinated Charlie Kirk, because they wanted to get away from the midterm.
00:37:32.600 They knew that he had a big influence on the college campuses, and they wanted to make sure that his message didn't resonate this midterm.
00:37:42.200 So what I'm doing is I'm energizing the base.
00:37:46.020 I flew out the Turning Point USA to AmFest, and I saw you on stage as well.
00:37:52.660 And Charlie Kirk is alive and well in the hearts and minds of countless young leaders throughout our nation.
00:38:01.240 Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, hang on.
00:38:04.240 What do you mean about that?
00:38:05.300 What do you mean that Charlie Kirk is alive and well?
00:38:08.260 Because I cut off that clip, but they said, hey, among young people, non-college educated young people, you're seeing a big shift and among college educated people away from MAGA.
00:38:17.640 So what do you mean as you go out because you're a retail politician, right?
00:38:21.440 You don't have the money to go up on TV and all the traditional things.
00:38:24.420 You're doing this the MAGA way.
00:38:26.600 What do you see?
00:38:27.360 What's the feedback you're hearing from people?
00:38:28.840 How can you make the case that Charlie Kirk and his mission and what he stood for is alive and well?
00:38:36.340 Everybody that I'm speaking to from urban communities and rural communities, these young kids are actually registered.
00:38:44.440 They registered as Republicans and they're excited about my campaign.
00:38:48.760 And I'm a firm advocate of everything that Charlie Cook stood for.
00:38:52.520 That's why I have a groundswell of support on the grassroots level, because I'm pushing back against the establishment and Charlie Kirk's Black Leadership Summits going across college campuses around the world, speaking to Black Americans, letting them know that the biggest threat to our community was the absentee father.
00:39:10.980 You take the father out of the household, you know, it's going to it's going to reduce the economic power with inside our communities.
00:39:18.880 And that's exactly what the left wants to do. And hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:39:25.840 Haven't you the left, the MSNBC and the New York Times and The Guardian and all these left wing sites say guys like you, you're like you're like my brother Royce White. 0.68
00:39:36.420 They've just said you've just thrown in with a bunch of white races, white working class races, because it's economically beneficial to you.
00:39:44.020 What's your response to that?
00:39:46.660 I mean, that's a that's a fallacy and we know it.
00:39:49.520 President Trump got in his in his first term, I believe he got about eight percent of the black vote and then 12 percent in 2020. 0.65
00:39:57.540 And then even after George Floyd and all the George Soros paid protests, President Trump's popularity in the black community doubled in 2024.
00:40:07.400 And as the left, as the left moves further left, black men are rising up and we're standing up together with MAGA.
00:40:16.740 Trust me. Look at Flip Philly Red, Flip Chicago Red.
00:40:20.680 These urban communities are gravitating more and more towards MAGA because the left is pushing this transgender ideology and indoctrinating their kids. 0.82
00:40:31.640 I mean, 75 percent of the kids in the largest city in my district, which is the city of Waterbury, are graduating, reading below their grade level. 0.81
00:40:41.320 Jahana Hayes, my Democratic incumbent, who's a black American woman who comes from the same city as me, which is Waterbury, Connecticut.
00:40:48.440 um the black community are excited about voting for me because she doesn't do anything for them
00:40:54.000 and she she got teacher the year from her from her school um when she right before she became
00:41:01.260 congresswoman and the year that she became teacher the year 22 percent of the kids were were only
00:41:08.020 reading proficiently six percent were proficient in arithmetic all the rest couldn't read and write
00:41:13.060 on a grade level and she became national teacher the year when obama was in offer office because
00:41:18.420 Because her handler, who is Christopher Murphy, Senator Christopher Murphy, groomed her for that position and took advantage of the photo op that Obama had while he was in the White House.
00:41:29.560 We know that's a fallacy in our community.
00:41:31.960 She hasn't done that.
00:41:34.620 Your message is so powerful and so strong.
00:41:38.420 Why is your biggest pushback right now is not even the Democrats. 0.98
00:41:42.680 It's the rhino Republicans. 0.87
00:41:44.040 Why is it the country club Republicans and the rhino Republicans in Connecticut? 0.79
00:41:49.280 What do they find so threatening about you? 0.79
00:41:52.100 The unification of black men and white men coming together, energizing the working class to push back against the uniparty. 0.83
00:42:01.840 I call them Democrats masquerading as Republicans. 0.92
00:42:05.100 That's what that's what a rhino is, Republican in name only.
00:42:08.460 Those are the races. 0.84
00:42:09.480 So when Black Americans asked me, you know, aren't there the Republicans racist? I said, no, the Democrats are racist. Look at their policies. And any rhino that's in my way, they're in my way because they don't want me to liberate Black people. 0.99
00:42:24.880 I mean, since Bacon's Rebellion. I mean, that was the first time they came up with the concept of a white man anyway, because they wanted to, they feared when indentured servants, you know, white slaves and black slaves came together, it scared the hell out of the British Empire, and they had to find a way to keep us divided with a caste system. 0.99
00:42:46.080 And that's what I'm pushing back against here in Connecticut. That same psychological oppression, self-imposed oppression that the Democrats are putting on the black community, telling black people that they're not smart enough to get an ID. 0.95
00:43:01.760 They're not smart enough to be self-sufficient. They're not they're not psychologically capable to exercise the Second Amendment right to bear arms responsibly. 0.96
00:43:11.840 Jonathan, hang on for one second. I won't hold through the break.
00:43:17.380 A patriot and hero running in Connecticut 5 in a very tough Republican primary,
00:43:22.840 bringing the torch of MAGA to Connecticut. Short commercial break. Back in a moment.

00:48:47.820 um today i wanted to touch on one of our newer products which is our organic beetroot uh the
00:48:53.480 reviews i was looking through today have been just awesome in regards to people letting us know how
00:48:57.940 much it's improved their blood pressure as well as raising their energy levels so for anyone that
00:49:03.840 doesn't know this is a formula designed to support heart health healthy circulation as well as
00:49:08.780 overall cardiovascular wellness and what's great about the organic beetroot is that it is rich and
00:49:14.080 naturally occurring nitrates that help support nitric oxide production in the body and nitric
00:49:19.020 oxide just plays an important role in helping to support healthy blood flow and circulation
00:49:23.260 which is essential for overall heart health and then within the formula we also included the
00:49:28.780 grapeseed extract, which provides antioxidant support and helps support healthy blood vessel
00:49:34.520 function and cardiovascular wellness. So what I love most about the product is that it's definitely
00:49:38.880 not loaded with like stimulants or anything artificial. And it's really just focused on
00:49:44.220 supporting your heart and circulation at the foundational level. So you can support your
00:49:47.980 overall wellness long term. So overall, you know, it's just an amazing product to support your heart
00:49:52.840 health, healthy blood flow circulation, and like I mentioned, the cardiovascular wellness.
00:49:57.240 and it's a you know a product designed specifically for that and I know a lot of people that have been
00:50:02.840 taking it I've seen you know great results with their blood pressure blood pressure excuse me
00:50:07.220 when they get their lab results back as well as just their overall energy so I encourage people

00:50:16.600 this product I take it every day as well and I always feel great on it. Trevor one of the things
