Unfortunately, that is what the socialist wants to do with everyone around: kill their soul, kill creativity, kill critical thinking, kill free thought. It's a three-step process: 1. Control what you can or can't do, 2. Control what you can or can't say, and 3. control what can or can't you think.

My youngest daughter came back from college shocked by the Communism in the University professors...I found a Christian college and she earned her RN(a bachelor of Science) and later a doctorate from this Christian University. She now runs the Trauma Center in a large hospital at 28. There is still hope...thank you for inviting this young woman on your show!
That’s awesome Tex ..You did well! My Wife and I recently took all 4 of our children out of public school because of all the crap going on in the world.

How do you think the uk and USA became wealthy enough to become "safe"? What was that head start we got? Ahhh slavery and the naval power to dominate anywhere. The American economic and foreign policy is ruthless and turns places who recently discovered and nationalized some resource which could boost their living standard and once were done with our plan the resource is controlled by us corps. I'd say some Scandinavian countries or even Canada are much safer than the USA. Germany is probably less safe because of all the drunk idiot soldiers occupying their country for no reason. There is a lot of evidence showing that us troops over seas commit many crimes when off duty. Btw evidence doesn't change because you are in a different "phase" of your life.

This is why truth is the greatest enemy of the left, and leftist ideologies. This is why the left misinforms, indoctrinates, brain washes those given to them to teach, to ignore the truth over their agenda, and creates useful idiots to follow them. Once they create idiots, those idiots can no longer think for themselves but only take orders, lacking reason, common sense, the ability to comprehend logic, and to know the truth when they hear it.
This may very well have been the best Fireside Chat I've ever seen. I'm overwhelmed by Yeonmi's courage, strength and resistance to higher education brainwashing in the U.S. Thank you, Mr. Prager, for doing this chat. The value of this hour is immeasurable. ❤
College means nothing compared to lived experienced. Asking 20-year olds that have never actually lived in the world to dictate policy or be used as wise-men is the dumbest thing we can do as a society.
@@surenaanerus7387 I doubt that anyone thinks that 100% of everything that she says in an interview is record. What I look for, with ethnography, is mostly true. It is like war stories. People are supposed to form their own conclusions. Other things can be attributed to cultural factors. It is incorrect for a woman to correct a man in many cultures, or February and March, being similar in date, will not change the seasonal characteristic of the weather. Also, it is easier to understand and respond in print than verbally when speaking a second tongue. In the interview, it is clear that she doesn't mean that she crossed for one full day, rather that she was caught upon crossing, and it is also clear that she is not on the same page as Prager in terms of English proficiency. What I am concerned about in this story are the verifiable details. She is from North Korea. She suffered. She escaped. Those are the things that draw my interest. If you do not understand why this is relevant, I would want to know who you are and what your interest is in the story.
I really hope that someone will make a film/drama about this escape. People have to see this with their own eyes in order really to understand what Yeonmi talks about. Also from her point of view: the escape started as search for food, developed into human traffic and only finally ended up as a real escape. Her escape really can only be defined retrospectively.
Too broad a statement. Try that one on a Holocaust survivor or an Australian aboriginal woman who had her children ripped from her and resettled hundreds of miles away, never to be seen again. as recently as the 1970's. One can only truly know ones own suffering experience.
@@sledge1960 it's her statement. I wouldn't say I agree with it completely, but it's a different way of thinking about things. Like what if you don't even know you're oppressed, you just think life is the way you're terribly living because everyone lives exactly the same way? That's being so oppressed you don't even know you're oppressed and such a large scale that it's really terrifying. Of course the ppl in the gulags, concentration camps, slaves, etc etc etc know they're being oppressed and it's not one bit better, but it certainly is different.
@@fentonmulley5895 Stockholm Syndrome is a bona fide medically listed form of mental illness. A psychological coping mechanism whereby the mind adjusts to protect the individual in an oppressive situation.
I was molested as a baby and child, and abused in other ways, but I still know what’s right and wrong and I don’t blame others, because I still try to improve myself to try to make myself normal, where others look for excuses to be abnormal.
That is sadly an all too common story. It is hard to make our way through life when those who are trusted to guide us and teach us the right way to go, instead do so much damage. Makes for a challenging life. Hopefully we do as little damage to ourselves, and especially to others as possible along the way.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Always sounds lame, but really what I mean to say is...I'm sorry that you were attacked by people with evil and selfish desires when you were so young and defenseless. I'm so sorry that the evil in people's hearts was turned on you. I'm so glad you choose to move forward courageously.
Yeonmi reminds me that I’m so thankful to be born here, to be able to sit here in the home I own, to have as many choices as I’ve had in every single aspect of my life because others do not. I’ve heard her story many times but it hits me the same every time. Life is so precious and I’m lucky enough to live the life I have because many others do not have the same opportunity
I read her book in 2015/2016 and ever since then whenever someone asks me for a book recommendation “In order to live” is the first one I recommend because everyone should know the truth about North Korea
My dad went to fight as a 17 year old marine in the Korean War in 1950. He was right in the middle of the chosin battle and said there were days that he didn’t think he would make it to 18, yet he had nothing but love and admiration for the Korean people and now I know why. God bless Yeonmi and god bless Prague U!!
Dennis, I enjoy all of your videos but this is one of your greatest ones yet!!! She needs to be a speaker at every single university, high school and junior high in America.
Yeonmi, thank you for speaking up for the voiceless and suffering North Korea. I pray that you will continue to have strength to bring the public to attention. You are very brave.
Thank you. Thank you both so so much. Bless America. Bless y'all. I am a teenager and I can see the indoctrination in schools y'all are doing the work of the people.
*This lady is a grifting liar already been proven a fraud,* She was exposed in South Korea as a liar & fraud by other N. Koreans defectors, , and was not able to milk it up, so she moved to the west(in fact she run away!!) where people are more naive on the issues and facts about North Korea. On top of changing her story MULTIPLE times in separate interviews and is paid by the Koch Brothers right wing think tank (Human Rights Fundation). She can't keep her story straight is because she's been lying for publicity and money. 3 examples: *THE DATE of their escape to Mongolia* According to her own book: "They managed an escape to Mongolia on *March 4, 2009,* Park’s father’s birthday.(Yeon-Mi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom (New York: Penguin Press, 2015), 198-212.( "The sun rose behind us, casting our long faint shadows across the desert floor as we walked into Mongolia. My mother grabbed my hand and reminded me that *it was March 4-my father’s birthday."* Fireside chat Ep. 203 with Dennis Prager min 31:43 Yeonmi: "It was like minus 40 degrees in *Februray 2009"* *Escape to Mongolia :How many defectors were in Yeonmi's group? 8 or 9 people?* According to her own book: *We had 8 people in our team,* "Our new group included my mother, myself, and three other women...There was also *a young family: a father, mother, and a boy of about three."* (In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom (New York: Penguin Press, 2015) Fireside chat Ep. 203 with Dennis Prager min 31:46 Yeonmi: "We were in a team *eight people and a toddler"*---- *"one man , seven women"* So here they are 9!! *HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THEM TO CROSS GOBI DESERT?* According to her own book : *"We walked through the frigid Gobi Desert one endless winter night,"* "The sun rose behind us, casting our long faint shadows across the desert floor as we walked into Mongolia".* ..... "We had been breathing the free air of Mongolia *for only a few minutes* when a soldier in camouflage gear ran up to us. He raised his rifle and shouted something in a language we’d never heard before. This had to mean he was Mongolian. *We were rescued.* Fireside chat Ep. 203 with Dennis Prager min 31:39 Prager : "How long were you in the Gobi deseret?" Yeonmi : "We were lucky *only one day* !" *NOTE :* As a bad liar, she deoen't even remember what is written in her own book regarding the date of their escape to Mongolia(4 March 2009 vs. Februray, 8 vs. 9 defectors, and one night (several hours until sunrise) vs. A DAY in her talk with Dennis Prager), *because it's ALL made up, they had probobly never escaped to Mongolia, it's fairytale, a fictive heartbleeding story!!*
OMG!! Dennis is such a gentleman. I just adore how he compliments people and really builds them up to shine! I bet he's an awesome grandpa. He's the Yoda I always wanted in my life! ❤
The shit this beautiful angel had to go through is OUTRAGEOUS!! I absolutely agree with her point on people just wanting to make everything about oppression. She KNOWS oppression first hand. AMERICA IS NOT OPPRESSED! God bless you Yeonmi! God bless you Dennis ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@chazmania1743 I dont have one but I could probably make one up and get myself a book deal, a UA-cam channel and hundreds of thousands of dollars off talks where I just say any outrageous thing that comes to mind and people can't verify it
I have listened to Yeonmi Park’s story multiple times and I am still amazed, shocked, inspired, hopeful, and can’t get enough. I think I’ll be watching her story again.
I can't remember the last time I've been so moved by someone's story. What a paradigm shift...I will be thinking about this for a long time (and I saved this episode to watch again and also sending to my parents). Wow.
You need to look her up… She is my number one hero in the most courageous worm never seen… She had a great Jordan Peterson interview and that’s how I know of her but she also has a podcast… She is literally amazing… Not that I really know her but I just found her two months ago and she is my inspiration ... check her out.!
Dennis - This is one of your best, moving, and important videos ever. A really important message. Yeonmi is inspiring and despite all of the horrors she experienced from North Korea, to Communist China, to escaping in the Mongolian desert, and then being "taught" garbage about "oppression" at Columbia University, she has the strength and courage to speak publicly about it all. She is a light of hope.
Totally exceptional video. It made my heart hurt to know what she and her family went through. She is truly an exceptional person that has gone through hell and back. I’m so embarrassed by our academia and the students coming out of it compared to this woman. We need to declare war on our educational system.
I think this should be required listening for every American!! We have lost our ideas about freedom and liberty. We certainly dont appreciate it and we need to listen to someone like Ms. Park to truely know how lucky we are to be Americans. Because we definitely dont have a clue...
She is truly a gifted individual. Not just anyone could come out of the hell hole she lived in and through and come out so on top. It's amazing to me how she didn't even understand what thinking really was and had to take breaks from it. And as it turns out, she's an incredibly brilliant women.
Wow, I am so blown away by this interview. Mr. Prager, I have watched so many of your fireside chats, and this, was the deepest, most moving and intelligent conversation I HAVE EVER SEEN. I was listening to you speak about your faith in humanity, and I agree that it lies in the hands of the few "good " people that ignore the default human condition and strive to be better and ascend to a higher morality. I still hold doors for others, give up my seat for a woman or any elder, and teach my children manners. God Bless America and all her people, very much including Yeonmi and yourself.
Awesome. I also saw her discussion with Jordan Peterson. Both led me to shed a tear or two. We have a lot of work to do to save America from these crazy "woke" cult members. There is no where else to go.
Thank you, and thanks to this amazing lady, I was born in Cuba under that horrible regime, in this moment I must say that the experiences I had in Cuba were like having a vacation in paradise in comparison with what this amazing lady is saying!, I truly appreciate all of you and God bless you all, especially this wonderful lady, I wish her well and blessings! AMAZING!!!
This is an incredibly powerful video, and I feel that I will go back and listen to it many more times. Also I just want to say that Otto sleeping center camera without a care in the world during this chat is priceless.
Yeonmi. What an amazing and beautiful woman. No words can meet the quality she has. The best I can bring to mind is a jewel to the world, pride she is now American.
Every student and every grown up in the US should have to hear her life story and appreciate that we have been blessed and that if we do not snap out if the stupid way we are going we will be as bad as North Korea.
Wow. This needs to be played in schools. I try to teach my children to appreciate what they have and where they come from but I think every child needs perspective learned from others experiences.
She’s amazing. I’ve watched most of her interviews; I can hear her story 100 times and be equally jaw dropping each time. Needs to be heard by EVERYONE! Great chat & interview. Thank you for telling your story. This is important. She’d have every right to just live her life and not speak of this publicly. She chose bravery & courage yet again to tell her story. Amazing!
Dennis you are so correct this was one of the best Fireside Chats ever. It was for me one of the best hours and has me so grateful for the life I have been given. Truly a great message that should be heard by all. Thant you for always producing such great content.

@@mozzberg590 Please don't feed the Trolls. THey get paid more when they can show replies... so if you do, make sure it's something that would make his Commissar VERY unhappy! :D
Every time I hear her story I am always just in awe of her. This is maybe the 5th time I have heard her speak it affects me on a deep level. Reminds me everyday to fight for freedom, country, community and every human being.
I have unfortunately and also ashamed, but I’ve never heard about you or your podcasts. I’ve been listening in awe to almost all of Yemeni Park’s podcasts and just can’t get enough of her . I feel SO HAPPY ( and blessed) that I came upon You! And your interview with her . I was glued to your conversation with her and your responses and your comments surrounding her story. I absolutely loved your approach and your extremely thoughtful and sensitive comments and reactions to her whole story. You, yourself are an amazing person and human being. I’m so excited to read or hear more of your stories, and conversations and with other people. I’m so shocked about both of your stories while you were at Columbia University. I had heard her describe her experience yet I didn’t realize you experienced the same teachings. Does the University actually teach these philosophies , anti-America, etc or is it to challenge our beliefs or realize that we can’t continue on this path or journey of Self Destruction? Is this “Thinking” due to the Trump administration or the Jan 6th Attack on the Capital Or Florida and DeSantis on the laws being passed or the Schools Curriculum being implemented! We’re going back to when they burned books here and in Europe!! I also believe that Happiness is a choice and it’s absolutely amazing how Yemeni can have such a profound positive attitude towards humanity and Life itself. Thank you for this interview with her and I apologize if I spelled her name wrong. You are so amazing yourself and I absolutely love listening to you and your calm demeanor and your great Co-Host(‘s)! ❤
Thank you everyone for your heartfelt support ♥️
Absolutely love your message and incredible insight on the situations that actually can,do, and will happen through fascist dictatorships like the one in North Korea and many other areas in the world. Please keep spreading your message it has changed many peoples lives!

This may very well have been the best Fireside Chat I've ever seen. I'm overwhelmed by Yeonmi's courage, strength and resistance to higher education brainwashing in the U.S. Thank you, Mr. Prager, for doing this chat. The value of this hour is immeasurable. ❤
Yaaaaasssss,!!! I am with you on that!
College means nothing compared to lived experienced. Asking 20-year olds that have never actually lived in the world to dictate policy or be used as wise-men is the dumbest thing we can do as a society.
@@surenaanerus7387 I doubt that anyone thinks that 100% of everything that she says in an interview is record. What I look for, with ethnography, is mostly true. It is like war stories. People are supposed to form their own conclusions. Other things can be attributed to cultural factors. It is incorrect for a woman to correct a man in many cultures, or February and March, being similar in date, will not change the seasonal characteristic of the weather. Also, it is easier to understand and respond in print than verbally when speaking a second tongue. In the interview, it is clear that she doesn't mean that she crossed for one full day, rather that she was caught upon crossing, and it is also clear that she is not on the same page as Prager in terms of English proficiency. What I am concerned about in this story are the verifiable details. She is from North Korea. She suffered. She escaped. Those are the things that draw my interest. If you do not understand why this is relevant, I would want to know who you are and what your interest is in the story.
This woman is amazing! Such an inspiration. Very intelligent.
"Truth liberates people" wow this woman is priceless. The suffering she has gone through has given her much wisdom...blessing to you and your son.

2 of my favorite humans! Thank you Yeomni and Dennis. Something about the end brought tears to my eyes. I love both of you!
Same!💗
So crazy. I was born in 1993 just like her. How different our childhood was. 🤯
Read the book A Thousand Splendid Suns. You will know about childhood close to 2000 in Afganistan.
"When you control the language" profound in that's the direction we have been moving towards for quite sometime
"Pronouns" are a huge example.
I really hope that someone will make a film/drama about this escape. People have to see this with their own eyes in order really to understand what Yeonmi talks about. Also from her point of view: the escape started as search for food, developed into human traffic and only finally ended up as a real escape. Her escape really can only be defined retrospectively.
That would be the best movie. I really hope they make a movie about Yeonmi Park. What an amazing story that would be
"The truly oppressed don't know they're oppressed. If you know you're oppressed, you're not really oppressed."
Yeoni Park
That's so powerful!
Too broad a statement. Try that one on a Holocaust survivor or an Australian aboriginal woman who had her children ripped from her and resettled hundreds of miles away, never to be seen again. as recently as the 1970's. One can only truly know ones own suffering experience.
What about Stockholm syndrome?
@@sledge1960 it's her statement. I wouldn't say I agree with it completely, but it's a different way of thinking about things. Like what if you don't even know you're oppressed, you just think life is the way you're terribly living because everyone lives exactly the same way? That's being so oppressed you don't even know you're oppressed and such a large scale that it's really terrifying. Of course the ppl in the gulags, concentration camps, slaves, etc etc etc know they're being oppressed and it's not one bit better, but it certainly is different.
@@fentonmulley5895 Stockholm Syndrome is a bona fide medically listed form of mental illness.
A psychological coping mechanism whereby the mind adjusts to protect the individual in an oppressive situation.
Without God & our soul filled with the Lord, this Country doesn't have a chance of surviving even with all these Freedoms we take for granted.
Agreed .The devil is at work convincing his children that America is evil. He is the father of lies.
Amen
I was molested as a baby and child, and abused in other ways, but I still know what’s right and wrong and I don’t blame others, because I still try to improve myself to try to make myself normal, where others look for excuses to be abnormal.
That is sadly an all too common story. It is hard to make our way through life when those who are trusted to guide us and teach us the right way to go, instead do so much damage. Makes for a challenging life. Hopefully we do as little damage to ourselves, and especially to others as possible along the way.
That's true.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Always sounds lame, but really what I mean to say is...I'm sorry that you were attacked by people with evil and selfish desires when you were so young and defenseless. I'm so sorry that the evil in people's hearts was turned on you. I'm so glad you choose to move forward courageously.
What an admirable person she is.
It is so good that your message is getting out there. Keep up the good work.
Yeonmi reminds me that I’m so thankful to be born here, to be able to sit here in the home I own, to have as many choices as I’ve had in every single aspect of my life because others do not. I’ve heard her story many times but it hits me the same every time. Life is so precious and I’m lucky enough to live the life I have because many others do not have the same opportunity
That is a beautiful message that you just sent, and I have the same sentiments… God bless you! We are so fortunate…
I read her book in 2015/2016 and ever since then whenever someone asks me for a book recommendation “In order to live” is the first one I recommend because everyone should know the truth about North Korea
My dad went to fight as a 17 year old marine in the Korean War in 1950. He was right in the middle of the chosin battle and said there were days that he didn’t think he would make it to 18, yet he had nothing but love and admiration for the Korean people and now I know why. God bless Yeonmi and god bless Prague U!!
Dennis,
I enjoy all of your videos but this is one of your greatest ones yet!!!
She needs to be a speaker at every single university, high school and junior high in America.
Yeonmi, thank you for speaking up for the voiceless and suffering North Korea. I pray that you will continue to have strength to bring the public to attention. You are very brave.
Just wow!! Every single person in America must watch this!
Thank you. Thank you both so so much. Bless America. Bless y'all. I am a teenager and I can see the indoctrination in schools y'all are doing the work of the people.
Stay strong and God bless you. Question everything and learn to think for yourself. ☺️
The things people do for freedom, when you know for sure that you’re going to die by staying where you are, you might as well die trying to get out
Like the migrants at the mexican border?
@@MP-ef9yo true
*This lady is a grifting liar already been proven a fraud,* She was exposed in South Korea as a liar & fraud by other N. Koreans defectors, , and was not able to milk it up, so she moved to the west(in fact she run away!!) where people are more naive on the issues and facts about North Korea. On top of changing her story MULTIPLE times in separate interviews and is paid by the Koch Brothers right wing think tank (Human Rights Fundation). She can't keep her story straight is because she's been lying for publicity and money. 3 examples:
*THE DATE of their escape to Mongolia*
According to her own book: "They managed an escape to Mongolia on *March 4, 2009,* Park’s father’s birthday.(Yeon-Mi Park, In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom (New York: Penguin Press, 2015), 198-212.( "The sun rose behind us, casting our long faint shadows across the desert floor as we walked into Mongolia. My mother grabbed my hand and reminded me that *it was March 4-my father’s birthday."*
Fireside chat Ep. 203 with Dennis Prager min 31:43
Yeonmi: "It was like minus 40 degrees in *Februray 2009"*
*Escape to Mongolia :How many defectors were in Yeonmi's group? 8 or 9 people?*
According to her own book: *We had 8 people in our team,* "Our new group included my mother, myself, and three other women...There was also *a young family: a father, mother, and a boy of about three."* (In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom (New York: Penguin Press, 2015)
Fireside chat Ep. 203 with Dennis Prager min 31:46
Yeonmi: "We were in a team *eight people and a toddler"*---- *"one man , seven women"*
So here they are 9!!
*HOW LONG DID IT TAKE THEM TO CROSS GOBI DESERT?*
According to her own book : *"We walked through the frigid Gobi Desert one endless winter night,"*
"The sun rose behind us, casting our long faint shadows across the desert floor as we walked into Mongolia".* ..... "We had been breathing the free air of Mongolia *for only a few minutes* when a soldier in camouflage gear ran up to us. He raised his rifle and shouted something in a language we’d never heard before. This had to mean he was Mongolian. *We were rescued.*
Fireside chat Ep. 203 with Dennis Prager min 31:39
Prager : "How long were you in the Gobi deseret?"
Yeonmi : "We were lucky *only one day* !"
*NOTE :* As a bad liar, she deoen't even remember what is written in her own book regarding the date of their escape to Mongolia(4 March 2009 vs. Februray, 8 vs. 9 defectors, and one night (several hours until sunrise) vs. A DAY in her talk with Dennis Prager), *because it's ALL made up, they had probobly never escaped to Mongolia, it's fairytale, a fictive heartbleeding story!!*
OMG!! Dennis is such a gentleman. I just adore how he compliments people and really builds them up to shine! I bet he's an awesome grandpa. He's the Yoda I always wanted in my life! ❤
This is the most amazing fireside chat yet. I'm sharing this with all my friends.
The shit this beautiful angel had to go through is OUTRAGEOUS!!
I absolutely agree with her point on people just wanting to make everything about oppression. She KNOWS oppression first hand. AMERICA IS NOT OPPRESSED!
God bless you Yeonmi! God bless you Dennis ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
God bless this woman! This is what makes America great!
That was truthfully one of the best interviews I have ever witnessed. Thank you so much.
Her book is a must read. It’s one of those you non stop finish.
Most fictions are hard to put down.
@@Nick-yv1wy I would love to hear YOUR story about fleeing North Korea.
@@chazmania1743 I dont have one but I could probably make one up and get myself a book deal, a UA-cam channel and hundreds of thousands of dollars off talks where I just say any outrageous thing that comes to mind and people can't verify it
Wow! I think this is the best fireside chat ever, and I've listened to all of them. Yeonmi Park is inspirational.
She is absolutely remarkable-her intense gratitude is overwhelming!!! Dennis, I hope this is only part one!!!
This is easily one of the most fascinating fireside chats ever. Incredible
I have listened to Yeonmi Park’s story multiple times and I am still amazed, shocked, inspired, hopeful, and can’t get enough. I think I’ll be watching her story again.
This was one of the best fireside chats ever. She is amazing. Thank you both for what you do.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY, I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HEAR YOUR MESSAGE YEONMI
Wow, I have no words for what Yeonmi Park represents as a human, she's a living martyr, hero and champion at the same time.
I didn't want the conversation to end. What an inspiration Yeonmi is! Such a sweet soul.
Yeonmi is a strong and beautiful woman. She has witnessed so much in her young life and she still has the strength to smile.
What a blessing to hear from this courageous woman, mother, and freedom lover. So inspirational!
Wow, putting faith literally to the test.
I can't remember the last time I've been so moved by someone's story. What a paradigm shift...I will be thinking about this for a long time (and I saved this episode to watch again and also sending to my parents). Wow.
This is the most incredible story I have ever heard. Wow. Incredible woman.
You need to look her up… She is my number one hero in the most courageous worm never seen… She had a great Jordan Peterson interview and that’s how I know of her but she also has a podcast… She is literally amazing… Not that I really know her but I just found her two months ago and she is my inspiration ... check her out.!
I love this woman. I’ve watched her get interviewed so many times. Her story needs to be heard around the world.
What an honor to have heard this, I thank God I walk this earth with you both.
One of the most important conversations I've ever had the fortune to listen to. She is so amazing. Thank-you.
Dennis - This is one of your best, moving, and important videos ever. A really important message. Yeonmi is inspiring and despite all of the horrors she experienced from North Korea, to Communist China, to escaping in the Mongolian desert, and then being "taught" garbage about "oppression" at Columbia University, she has the strength and courage to speak publicly about it all. She is a light of hope.
Totally exceptional video. It made my heart hurt to know what she and her family went through. She is truly an exceptional person that has gone through hell and back. I’m so embarrassed by our academia and the students coming out of it compared to this woman. We need to declare war on our educational system.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! Thank you Yeonmi and Dennis.
I think this should be required listening for every American!! We have lost our ideas about freedom and liberty. We certainly dont appreciate it and we need to listen to someone like Ms. Park to truely know how lucky we are to be Americans. Because we definitely dont have a clue...
She is truly a gifted individual.
Not just anyone could come out of the hell hole she lived in and through and come out so on top.
It's amazing to me how she didn't even understand what thinking really was and had to take breaks from it.
And as it turns out, she's an incredibly brilliant women.
This is one of your most informative Chats!
I enjoyed it so much. I was born in Iran and raised there. I absolutely feel her. I know exactly what she is talking about! Thank you!
One of my favorites. I'm in the middle of her book right now.
By far the best of Dennis Prager's interviews that I've ever encountered 👍👍👍
I'm so happy for yeonmi on all the good podcasts these days deserving the recognition she deserves. She should be speaking at schools across America.
Wow, I am so blown away by this interview. Mr. Prager, I have watched so many of your fireside chats, and this, was the deepest, most moving and intelligent conversation I HAVE EVER SEEN. I was listening to you speak about your faith in humanity, and I agree that it lies in the hands of the few "good " people that ignore the default human condition and strive to be better and ascend to a higher morality. I still hold doors for others, give up my seat for a woman or any elder, and teach my children manners. God Bless America and all her people, very much including Yeonmi and yourself.
Thank you Yeonmi Park. Godspeed
Thank you very much!
Awesome. I also saw her discussion with Jordan Peterson. Both led me to shed a tear or two.
We have a lot of work to do to save America from these crazy "woke" cult members. There is no where else to go.
Thank you, and thanks to this amazing lady, I was born in Cuba under that horrible regime, in this moment I must say that the experiences I had in Cuba were like having a vacation in paradise in comparison with what this amazing lady is saying!, I truly appreciate all of you and God bless you all, especially this wonderful lady, I wish her well and blessings! AMAZING!!!
A great way to spend an hour. Learning from a strong, well rounded, intelligent woman. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU!
This is an incredibly powerful video, and I feel that I will go back and listen to it many more times. Also I just want to say that Otto sleeping center camera without a care in the world during this chat is priceless.
Yeonmi. What an amazing and beautiful woman. No words can meet the quality she has. The best I can bring to mind is a jewel to the world, pride she is now American.
Every student and every grown up in the US should have to hear her life story and appreciate that we have been blessed and that if we do not snap out if the stupid way we are going we will be as bad as North Korea.
I am speechless. An amazing eye opening fireside chat! Unbelievable. Truth does set you free.
You made me realize that the colleges and schools are tearing down all the goodness in this country.
One of the most amazing Fireside chats to date. Should be shared with everyone. Thank you Dennis.
Wow. This needs to be played in schools. I try to teach my children to appreciate what they have and where they come from but I think every child needs perspective learned from others experiences.
Yes... she "understands America more than most Americans." I agree. Good interview. Thank you.
This was an amazing hour, I learned so much. Thank you to both the host and the guest.
i almost watched this everyday.. what a powerful conversations.. learned a lot from these two..
She’s amazing. I’ve watched most of her interviews; I can hear her story 100 times and be equally jaw dropping each time. Needs to be heard by EVERYONE! Great chat & interview. Thank you for telling your story. This is important. She’d have every right to just live her life and not speak of this publicly. She chose bravery & courage yet again to tell her story. Amazing!
Dennis you are so correct this was one of the best Fireside Chats ever. It was for me one of the best hours and has me so grateful for the life I have been given. Truly a great message that should be heard by all. Thant you for always producing such great content.
I’ve heard her tell the story several times, andand it’s still very interesting, and I keep learning new things. 👍
The most interesting part is how the story changes every time she tells it
@@fentonmulley5895 move to North Korea
@@mozzberg590 have you been there? Probably not. How could we possibly know what's going on there. Give me one fact about how horrific it is there and I'll show you how they have been surrounded and sanctioned into poverty and desperation. Authoritarianism has got to die, but xenophobic propaganda is going with it.
@@mozzberg590 Please don't feed the Trolls. THey get paid more when they can show replies... so if you do, make sure it's something that would make his Commissar VERY unhappy! :D
@@fentonmulley5895 Oddly enough, you never provided examples.
What an interview! The whole country should see it. Thank you.
This was such a very moving discussion, and so especially appropriate on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Thank you Dennis and Yeonmi.
These two, along with a handful of other same people in the public sphere, are what keep me sane in the world. God bless them 🙏
Every time I hear her story I am always just in awe of her. This is maybe the 5th time I have heard her speak it affects me on a deep level. Reminds me everyday to fight for freedom, country, community and every human being.
That was really good. Finally time not regretfully spent. God bless you both.
Amazing story
what an expectational episode, what a wonderful lady. every minute of this episode was touching.
Such a brave beautiful woman 🙏 I will show this to my daughter. God bless her 🙏🙏
Two beautiful and courageous human beings. Inspirational!
This was way over due! Yeonmi park is honestly such an inspiration ❣️
That was truly amazing. Thank you so much for this. Even Snoopy was impressed!
Possibly the best Prager video I have seen. The truth will set you free.
Lord have mercy!
I’m just... my jaw remains dropped throughout pretty much this entire video.
Lord have mercy.
Powerful. Inspiring. Awesome.
I have unfortunately and also ashamed, but I’ve never heard about you or your podcasts.
I’ve been listening in awe to almost all of Yemeni Park’s podcasts and just can’t get enough of her .
I feel SO HAPPY ( and blessed) that I came upon You! And your interview with her . I was glued to your conversation with her and your responses and your comments surrounding her story.
I absolutely loved your approach and your extremely thoughtful and sensitive comments and reactions to her whole story.
You, yourself are an amazing person and human being. I’m so excited to read or hear more of your stories, and conversations and with other people.
I’m so shocked about both of your stories while you were at Columbia University. I had heard her describe her experience yet I didn’t realize you experienced the same teachings. Does the University actually teach these philosophies , anti-America, etc or is it to challenge our beliefs or realize that we can’t continue on this path or journey of Self Destruction?
Is this “Thinking” due to the Trump administration or the Jan 6th Attack on the Capital Or Florida and DeSantis on the laws being passed or the Schools Curriculum being implemented! We’re going back to when they burned books here and in Europe!!
I also believe that Happiness is a choice and it’s absolutely amazing how Yemeni can have such a profound positive attitude towards humanity and Life itself.
Thank you for this interview with her and I apologize if I spelled her name wrong.
You are so amazing yourself and I absolutely love listening to you and your calm demeanor and your great Co-Host(‘s)! ❤
The Hunger Games are happening now in N. Korea.
