As a right-winger, I believe in heritage.

I believe in

Ancestry, I believe in inheritance, I believe in these things.

And so when I think about my ancestry, well, I come from thousands of years in Korea.

I can trace my ancestry all the way back to my founder.

I actually visited his grave when I was in Korea last month.

And it's like, well, this is where I come from.

And so I'm still wrestling through whether or not I'm willing to give that up to fully commit to being an American because I love America and I really do.

And I still understand that I'm an immigrant.

I'm a guest.

And so, you know, people always say I say things like, oh, foreign nationals or foreigners should not hold political office in your country.

And they're like, oh, so you don't think you should be able to?

I'm like, yeah.

I don't think I should.

I agree.

I was born in a foreign country and I should not be able to hold public office in America.

I think that's important.

I get what you're saying, but I just fundamentally reject that America is an idea.

America is a people.

It is a people.
