my heart is hurting bc rainy season started and the homeless people I give food to now have to worry about getting caught in the rain or can't enjoy their dwellings as much. If any got caught in the rain during the first rainfall the two evenings ago how much colder that night was, and then it rained again yesterday and they couldn't dry out their clothes I couldn't fall asleep
A person who were in prison for 140 days, and then the next day to fly in a private jet with US Ex president is a miracle that could happen once in a life time.
The pic in the Podesta emails makes this whole thing, Especially the Clinton’s involvement. It all smells Really bad. I don’t trust anyone involved with the Clinton’s.

@@gs8099 You correctly chose an important and critical aspect of the statement to focus upon, assess, evaluate. analyze and develop a result. Certainly You realize in Your developed result You added ideas, concepts and principle into the word "universal", correct? The context of George Orwell, however, is using the adjective "universal" upon the noun deceit to describe the state of deceit. Certainly it is true, that every government is restricting and limiting the "Inalienable" human rights within their laws, implementations and executions including the USA, where individuals are assured the highest of individual rights via the US Constitution and Amendments.Those rights have been expanded and reduced via various laws and court decisions or lack of them too. Still, within the context of George Orwell, the adjective of "universal" upon "deceit" applies, and within the various governments, especially the politicians and many other organizations which have their agenda to change the structure of the government away from the Constitutional Republic to a more Socialist and Communist Society with greater controls and governance. They portray the benefits of change to be improvements. but is a deception. And the opposition also have some false portrayals misinformation, though mostly better, and yet still accepting more and more of the Socialist concepts [like a national healthcare system and healthcare as a "right". Also, it is interesting, important perhaps critical to note George Orwell clearly shows and details what a mass governance world can become, with the use of technology which he already could see then. Certainly his novel "Animal Farm" is also an important satire. A fellow writer, H.G. Wells wrote his satire novels also regarding such subjects and concepts to be aware of. Another important aspect is the connection of both of those men with The Globalist/Elite/NWO people [Mayer Rothschild, Rockefeller, et al] too.

@@newtonfirefly3584 Thank you. However, we have allowed mega rich & corporations along with strong religion beliefs hijack people's democracy by for example funding elections! They are practically in charge and control our legislatures, legal systems, etc! This makes absolutely no sense! Also I am afraid as long as we are sticking to this cheap and uncivilised notion of Black and White divide, we just cannot criticise any other nations without bringing about fundamental change to our thinking and our systems. It is 21st century, time to grasp the idea that we are all members of human race regardless and must sort this mess. It is too ugly! If we claim we are better we should bring about changes in many areas such as reducing the number of prisoners through effective training schemes. What is the point listening to these stories when we do know well that we don't have a perfect justice system?! I am afraid affordable access to health is absolutely essential, it is part of basic human needs. Listening to these stories only make me more aware of the faults in our systems and believe we shouldn't be complacent as that can lead us to more chaos!!
@@milkandspice1074 Correct George Orwell was an outspoken and established Socialist who was also a member of a Socialist organization See his biography : www.biographyonline.net/socialism-george-orwell/ and details about "1984" & "Animal Farm" bookanalysis.com/george-orwell/democratic-socialism-and-george-orwell/ Obviously You have misconceptions about Socialist view, concepts, principles to claim G. O. was against or opposed to authoritarianism. What proof do You have to that basis? He promoted Clearly though "1984" was a satire about an Totalitarian Government, He actually supported it, via his Socialist Agenda agreement. He is quoted saying: "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” What he may have been projecting in his book, is the misuse aspects of an Authoritarian Government, as a Totalitarian Government, while he could still accept an Authoritarian Government, which can be implemented in other ways and means, conceptually which benefits humans and possibly figure the benefits of Society, as perceived, outweigh the infringement of individual rights or will adjust accordingly, if the people are given the means to affect it. The obvious issues, are who will determine was is good for the people, measures, balance to determine the amount of Authoritarian Government that is beneficial and purposeful. The current use of a presumed medical situation, danger, is being used with most Governments Worldwide, with more extensive authority measures within those Government which have more Authoritative Laws, Rules, and means. These measure have been challenged within the USA, and judged by four Federal Judges, to violate the US Constitution within the 1st and 14th Amendments. Am hoping for the people to enact more suits against every Governor, as needed, including all Federal Governance, Rules, Laws, which clearly violate individual rights without any permission with any potential or existing disaster.

I think she brings up a good point, in that we tend to lose sight of the humanity of people living in these countries. It's easier to generalize, but are the actions a government takes truly representative of it's people? In the case of North Korea, they live under such oppressive conditions where they cannot criticize a single aspect of their own government without fear of reprisal, so there is zero accountability the officials are being held to except by the international community. Things are kept so under wraps that we really don't know the depths of abuse committed by them.
People around the world don't like the US government, sanctioning terrorism etc., but they like us Americans; it's unfortunate, often racist, when people don't know to separate a government from the people
I don't know if you watched the North Korean defector Yeonmi Park's videos on this same Valuetainment channel, but I think if any Americans are feeling depressed about America, if they watch her videos they will feel better that we still are so lucky to live in America and dreams can still come true. She had said they are raised from a young age to think of their dictator as Godlike who can even hear their thoughts, how awful. and if not here, on another UA-cam she had said after she was able to get to South Korea, when someone asked her what her favorite color was, she didn't even know how to respond to that concept/question.

I'd like to put these bastards in the shoes of the many that are suffering and see how quickly they would open up the economy.
I think you need to make a distinction that she is not a north Korean defector.. she is a journalist. She didn't live as a citizen of that country. She doesn't have a personal interest in that country, even though she's Korean. She's reporting on the conditions, but she can't have the same kind of feelings as a defector, like Yeonmi Park. Euna did not suffer the same experiences nor has family left behind in North Korea.
The interview with Yeonmi Park was mind blowing and I was left feeling so inspired by her; especially with this current pandemic. With this lady, I understand that she wants us to think about the people of North Korea. However, since she couldn't make the documentary, I really thought she would have a lot more to say about her experience. It was like you guys were on two different wave lengths somehow. Maybe she was hopefully able to express herself more in her own book.
Yeah she milks it no doubt. She left when she was 9. I’m her age and can’t remember much from that age. Especially political. Everything she says can be found on the net. Also in past defectors books.
Devin Higgins No more luck. Americans will have a chance to taste the evils of a communist regime in 10 years as there are so many progressive left in America.
What has a left wing and a right wing? A bird or a plane. What do they also have? One body that controls both wings. If you ever need a bigger clue that we are being lied to it's left and right wing. It doesn't matter it never has. We have the illusion of choice which is at best a duopoly, Pepsi or Coke, McDonalds or Burger King. So if we have ever had a free society how can so many people possibly be represented by two wings both controlled by one body? I don't know which is crueler, a tyranny that is exactly what it says it is or one that tries to convince everyone under it that they are free? There is no more complete prisoner than one who believes he is free.
I absolutely LOVE watching/listening to Patrick interview his guests. He actively listens, takes appropriate notes & asks appropriate questions. Always a pleasure, Patrick !!!
Pat - you have great insight in her holding back on her judgement of NK. She may have a fear that the North can still affect her in her freedom and harm her and her family.
I thought moreso that she had already felt she let down those North Korean defector interviewees in China as she never finished the documentary about them and maybe it was dangerous that they allowed themselves on camera, but maybe she didn't want to anger Kim Jong Un and make him take it out on those documentary interviewees' relatives still in North Korea?
I agree with you that she seemed guarded and even sympathetic towards her captors, trying to present them as human instead of the 'monsters' they had heard of in S. Korea. She seems protective of the N. Korean government, too, and tries to project Kim as 'young' as if he is immature or unexposed to the world instead of a savvy, calculating monster who murders his own people, starving them while he is a glutton. Sorry, but that is what I think about the dictator, who can't be good or kind until he repents of his evil against his own people. He murdered his uncle, killed his brother, and that does not depict a person who is naive or immature. So, I have to wonder if she was threatened about saying anything negative about their government with retaliation. That is what it makes me think is behind her guarded attitude. Thanks for listening. Donna
She shared her experiences and could have recounted the terrible things people expect to hear when North Korea is mentioned, whether true or exaggerated. She has no family or friends in North Korea. In fact, as a child under the military dictatorship, she was taught South Korean propaganda meant to dehumanize North Korean people. Therefore, she has no obligation to hold back any criticism towards North Korea.
I love these interviews Patrick; however sobering they may be. They really help me keep a more even perspective. May your curiosity never cease. I know mine won't.
Just gave myself the shivers trying to imagine how hungry I would have to be to go catching mice. What a brave young woman. She inspires me with hope for humanity.
@William Scott dude I really don't think the north Koreans give two shits about some imperial bastard female when they brutalize their own women folk. But as a general rule men tend to get worse treatment in captivity however it seems like in north Korea it doesn't matter what you got in your nethers. They only see enemies and traitors.
I learned about this and started screaming to my family 10 years ago. They said I was crazy and it didn’t happen. We need a new vanguard and help these people. I hate this world system.
Well if you were literally screaming then I can understand them thinking you were crazy, but they still should have listened. So many should have listened.
SHE STILL HAS FAMILY IN KOREA AND DOESNT WANT ANYONE OF THEM TO GET KILLED COME ON PAT U SHOULDVE KNEW THIS. THATS WHY SHE DIDNT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING WRONG ABOUT THEIR LEADER

I wonder if EUna held back because she feared that the North Koreans she interacted with would be punished in her name (3 generations of them), out of fear of being targeted, or because the US (possibly??) advised her against risking international tension? I do appreciate Yeonmi Park's bravery and openness however-a great channel to follow.
Two totally different options and reasons for them. Yummi is unforgettable. So honest so deep, expressed herself so well. I felt horror for the hunger they endure. For the government to get them in line. Patrick I saw how impressed you were with her ability to express the cruelty and indifference that she experienced and how she made bad experiences something to learn from. I cried for her and her people who suffer this very minute. We are so spoiled. Thank you for letting me express myself.
There were moments this story made me😭😭😭. The moment of not leaving her work mate behind, her compassion for humanity. Protecting the identity of those who gave them information. I cannot understand how the world is filled with hate when there are so many good people out there.
im confused why her english seems to have gotten worse rather than the opposite? Its been over 10 years since this incident, she should be expert status by now especially with her education background. Kim Jong Il the leader at that time spoke with Bill Clinton directly and told him that he will release the 2 and that he is giving Bill a call personally because he said he never forgot that Clinton had reached out to him the very same morning when Kim Il Sung the father of KJI and leader at that time passed away when even their closest allies like China and Russia did not even make the call for any condolences. He said he never forgot that and that is why he personally wanted to give Bill a call on this one because he knew how much the release of these 2 meant to Bill. I thought that was kinda interesting. It sheds light on the human side that we dont really hear much about from that side.
It seem like she was trying to forget her past but you bring it all back & it appear she is fighting in her head to hide something she wants to forget her painful past.
I thought she was holding back, perhaps feeling she was putting people at risk with her words. North Korean leaders have long memories and are far reaching.
@Just Me My cousin was a young just graduated and just married lawyer in Cuba when Castro people got in a building a few of them were together. To make a long and painful story short he was convicted to 15 years in prison, just for talking with colleagues and friends. Twice he tried to kill himself, his hair was very black but turned snow white in a year. Only his mother was permitted to visit. Because of" good behavior" he was released after 10 years. He NEVER talked about his time in prison. Being a brilliant and college educated man, many people tried to make him write a book, he not only refused, he would not talk about it, absolutely refused. He and his young bride( his son was born while he was in prison, being a newlywed), I think he for bit his wife to bring the boy to prison to meet him, after he was released they had a daughter. The family was granted permission to leave Cuba a few years after his release from prison.
Euna's shying away from reporting the seriousness of crime against humanity in North Korea and China will not assist to better the lives or change the world's perspective of the seriousness of these dictatorships' crimes. I like and admire Ynomi's fearlessness much better and believe her activism will reap more fruit.
Euna Lee certainly has my sympathy (along with her friend Laura), for the very unfortunate situation of their capture. How wonderful that they were united safely with their families. Yet it seems that your guest is quite reticent with her answers which could stem from a fear of any kind of retribution. Many reasons as well NOT take our freedoms for granted.
Righttt, but why did she even bother coming forward with her story? That puts her in the spotlight. Sooo she might as well go out with a bang & keep it 💯 . She didn't have ANYTHING (that I didn't already know) useful or helpful to say period..I bet the only reason why they're still alive is ONLY because they saw the third person get away and would obviously report back to China.. pr whoever speaks on behalf of them? Perhaps the American Consulte 🤔? Idfk but NK obviously wanted a 🍪 or a fist bump.. obviously he's a good person🙄 I mean why else would he release his prisoners, UNHARMED? Too bad Otto Wormbier wasn't so lucky 😔 that poor boy was tortured till his brain just basically gave up.
Just imagine, when my father turn 17 he joins the army and the first place they sent him was North Korea. His story to me was terrible for the people and the live hood they now this was back in the early 50’s. He is no longer here but I’m sure his story would be even more like these brave hero’s.
Btw, I love how you have everything laid out and organized on your desk. All your items are laid out so as to be efficiently accessed. Even your red pen is in line with your white letters. Man I’m the same way. Shows me your not a fake. You really are a who you seem to be. That’s rare & thank you for that👍🇺🇸🗽
Great interview but you can tell she's very guarded when asked about her experience when being detained. I appreciate that Patrick has empathy yet is direct.
Wow amazing video! This woman is so strong! I watched this to the end!! Truly heartwarming and God bless this woman and Nothe Korean men and women for freedom!
The soldiers didn’t take a bribe because you were high value targets. You were brought to Pyongyang also as high value targets. At that time they used foreign prisoners as hostages to extort cash.
Inspiring and Amazing Choice of Journalism. Strength, purpose, and heart. I admire these journalists' courage and shared respect. For a country that continues to abuse human rights. Yet, she understood and became better educated because of this situation.
I don't know who she's with, anything about her, or what her m.o. is, but I do not trust her recitation. I don't mean to incite an argument, but Patrick asked what we thought at the end. My instincts and my read picked up deception and a guarded, yet pointed, demeanor. Her dancing around the most obvious & important questions, by responding with conveluted answers, is just one tell for example. That's my personal take. It was an interesting interview.
When i see another human treating other humans like that it completely breaks the BOND of TRUST on trusting that human being. WERE NOT ANIMALS GUYS AND EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE. SO WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH GET READY TO PAY THAT PRICE. DEATH ISN'T THE END.
It seems she wouldn't mind going back there. Like this was a great experience! She tells this story with not much emotion. Doesn't sound like she really had a horrific experience, which is confusing to me. and yet all of us back in the states were so concerned and prayed every moment for their release. She only answers the specific questions, not much more. too much sugar coating!!!! I don't feel like she took me thru her experience in captivity. Patrick is a great interviewer!!!!
Man, that was like talking to a brick wall. Never saw Pat struggle so much to get something, anything of some significance out of an interviewee's mouth. Just your average, cliché, women's magazine recount and 2 ideas. But then, Clinton saved her...
Another tear jerker! Heavy! I appreciate Euna telling us her story. I understand this perspective of seeing the N. Korean people separate from the government and not having a picture of them in my head when I hear the name of the country. It's taking me years to wrap my mind around this where I live in Hawaii regarding the USA. For me it took someone I trust and respect greatly to SHOW me before I could really comprehend the political vs. legal vs. cultural values he lives by, given to him by his grandfather. Then I realized the picture in my head for them was incorrect. I am trying to deprogram myself from the hateful board of education crap I received in the long hours I spent with them here in these Hawaiian Islands. Grateful for viewing many truthful videos coming out this year like this and academic doctors willing to debunk past written history. Mahalo nui loa from Hilo, Hawaii island in the country in continuity called Ko Hawaii Pae Aina or Hawaiian Islands, H. I. If I didn't confirm our country's existence in 2015, I would NEVER be interested in this topic at all. I'm only now learning political views and systems and law and foreign relations and hearing the story from those who lived it makes all the difference now! 👍
It seemed from the interview that she was shielded from many things. It was good to hear her relay the humanity side of the officials. Maybe in the book she says so, but it would be interesting to hear of different conversations she might have had with different guards where she details life outside NK to them. Great interview btw.👏👏
She understands that sanctions make it much worse for the common people of North Korea. For a couple of months, China enforced sanctions in 2017. Not even first aid kits were allowed to enter North Korea because the metal needles and sensors were made of that is how strict they were. The main justification for sanctions is that it puts pressure on the common people to create civil unrest thereby forcing their government to do anything for the sanctions to be lifted but in the case of North Korea if the people didn't rebel in the 1990s they are unlikely going to rebel now people don't start revolutions on an empty stomach.
In the speed round - she walks the tight rope - very compromising without standing for the people left behind from the situation of which she herself was delivered. She will not go back to rescue them (she even has guilt for not publishing the documentry to the people she intervied and the people she had promised) - even in her thoughts. I have pity for what she has suffered, but I do not respect for her. She has let them all down.
When I watched this interview I got the feeling just like you said that she was holding something back and weighing every word. I wondered if she was still afraid of the north Koreans or if the US government asked her not to disguss certain things. It seemed like you kept trying to get her to talk and getting nowhere. Afterall she does know the power of film. Perhaps her book reveals more, but somehow I doubt it. The biggest story was that she was released. And I am sure she was grateful for that. When we are young such bravery seems like a grand adventure. Then when things go wrong we grow up fast. By the way she acted I'm surprised that she allowed the interview at all.
I feel the same way. But i think she felt responsible of the other foreigners who might not go out alive because NK might regret that freeing a captive might make noise just like her.
There's no doubt she was scared. One never completely recovers after having been through that, much like those who've been in a destructive cult. I know of some who've been out from one for well over 15 years, and she is still scared.
I am not a bussines or marketing kind of person. I always say I have 0 talent in bussines/marketing. But I love your videos specially the interviews. I watch your videos and I can say that i am kind of getting addicted to your videos. I appreciate your reasoning, honesty and inteligence. Thank you so much for educating us. More success to you 👍 And one question just out of curiosity, is Bet-David your real last name? because it is nothing Armenian nor Iranian!😉
The Ruffled Bunny Yes, lol, it did get very odd in the end. Patrick felt the same but wasn't quite able to fix it. All in all, I too am grateful she's okay.
I I think this individual was trying to be diplomatic and her responses. I think in fact she did see humanity and some of the people that held her captive. Because these are the North Korean people and just because they are serving in military doesn’t mean that they are evil it’s what they’re supposed to do in that country because that’s what it is expected of them. I am glad that she saw humanity in them because that’s why we are so disturbed with how these people are treated. We learn from the defectors like Yeonmi The realities of growing up in that country and escaping from the country. This journalist is like the rest of us she sees it from the outside and because she didn’t grow up in it she didn’t leave it that way she’s seeing it from a different perspective. I do think she’s out there doing the work of the people caring about human rights and I know she is grateful for having been rescued and returned home. In her work I do believe she will continue to do the work of the people and for the rights other people. I am grateful that she was rescued as was her documentary partner. I think there’s so much more about their experiences that we will never truly know. Or not for a very long time. Thank you for showing this perspective as well…
I understand the reason for starvation in north korea, so people don't have any thing to do but find food and not have any time to complain about the government. It is hard for the American people to understand the concept of "no food", but I heard about Putin say if you rip all the feathers out of a chicken, that chicken will still follow you if you give it food, so the people of north korea, food is their only concern
My opinion : somehow these women were treated extremely well by North Korean standards & it is stunning it got to Presidental levels to get them out . No one will ever know what was given up to get them out . That border is nothing to play with .
Nothing in my openion was changed about Evil North Korean Regime. Her being careful about the North Korean Regime is because she has to. We don't know what kind of deal/promisses/agreement was made between Clinton and leader of North Korea! in order to get them released. So, I can't really critisize her for being discreet about North Korea, I believe that is the difference between her and the North Korean defector(Park). Park was so honest and brave because she didn't have that kind of obligation to be considerate/careful!!! beside the fact that she was from North Korea and she had lived the situation there. And to correct her about the U.S sanction on Iran; as an Iranian on behalf of like %85 of Iranian people I can say the people of Iran are %100 behind the sanction of Islamic Regime of Iran because we think that is the only way to weaken this kind of totaliter regimes and help people to fight against their dicator government (not like Obama boosting Iran's terrorist, oppressor regime with money and power)and I am pretty sure the North Korean people have the same thought and demand from U.S. and other countries too.

Man! I have a friend I have to constantly tell her Would you let me finish telling the story?
Right...unlike a certain other very popular podcaster? :P

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”

What he may have been projecting in his book, is the misuse aspects of an Authoritarian Government, as a Totalitarian Government, while he could still accept an Authoritarian Government, which can be implemented in other ways and means, conceptually which benefits humans and possibly figure the benefits of Society, as perceived, outweigh the infringement of individual rights or will adjust accordingly, if the people are given the means to affect it.
The obvious issues, are who will determine was is good for the people, measures, balance to determine the amount of Authoritarian Government that is beneficial and purposeful.
The current use of a presumed medical situation, danger, is being used with most Governments Worldwide, with more extensive authority measures within those Government which have more Authoritative Laws, Rules, and means.
These measure have been challenged within the USA, and judged by four Federal Judges, to violate the US Constitution within the 1st and 14th Amendments. Am hoping for the people to enact more suits against every Governor, as needed, including all Federal Governance, Rules, Laws, which clearly violate individual rights without any permission with any potential or existing disaster.

I think she brings up a good point, in that we tend to lose sight of the humanity of people living in these countries. It's easier to generalize, but are the actions a government takes truly representative of it's people? In the case of North Korea, they live under such oppressive conditions where they cannot criticize a single aspect of their own government without fear of reprisal, so there is zero accountability the officials are being held to except by the international community. Things are kept so under wraps that we really don't know the depths of abuse committed by them.
People around the world don't like the US government, sanctioning terrorism etc., but they like us Americans; it's unfortunate, often racist, when people don't know to separate a government from the people
Right. The first thing they did after the war was to take away the people’s guns. Then their speech. Then their food!
I don't know if you watched the North Korean defector Yeonmi Park's videos on this same Valuetainment channel, but I think if any Americans are feeling depressed about America, if they watch her videos they will feel better that we still are so lucky to live in America and dreams can still come true. She had said they are raised from a young age to think of their dictator as Godlike who can even hear their thoughts, how awful. and if not here, on another UA-cam she had said after she was able to get to South Korea, when someone asked her what her favorite color was, she didn't even know how to respond to that concept/question.

I think you need to make a distinction that she is not a north Korean defector.. she is a journalist. She didn't live as a citizen of that country. She doesn't have a personal interest in that country, even though she's Korean. She's reporting on the conditions, but she can't have the same kind of feelings as a defector, like Yeonmi Park. Euna did not suffer the same experiences nor has family left behind in North Korea.
The interview with Yeonmi Park was mind blowing and I was left feeling so inspired by her; especially with this current pandemic. With this lady, I understand that she wants us to think about the people of North Korea. However, since she couldn't make the documentary, I really thought she would have a lot more to say about her experience. It was like you guys were on two different wave lengths somehow. Maybe she was hopefully able to express herself more in her own book.
I think she is too careful and her answers are to politically correct
Yeah she milks it no doubt. She left when she was 9. I’m her age and can’t remember much from that age. Especially political. Everything she says can be found on the net. Also in past defectors books.
Please keep having North Korea related interviews!

gracewong9999 i heat you yea it’s looking that way
What has a left wing and a right wing? A bird or a plane. What do they also have? One body that controls both wings. If you ever need a bigger clue that we are being lied to it's left and right wing. It doesn't matter it never has. We have the illusion of choice which is at best a duopoly, Pepsi or Coke, McDonalds or Burger King. So if we have ever had a free society how can so many people possibly be represented by two wings both controlled by one body? I don't know which is crueler, a tyranny that is exactly what it says it is or one that tries to convince everyone under it that they are free? There is no more complete prisoner than one who believes he is free.
I absolutely LOVE watching/listening to Patrick interview his guests. He actively listens, takes appropriate notes & asks appropriate questions. Always a pleasure, Patrick !!!
Pat - you have great insight in her holding back on her judgement of NK. She may have a fear that the North can still affect her in her freedom and harm her and her family.
Oh course. Most would say nothing. The people who saved her probably forces this. I would've trust any government ever again
She is a coward and she is not an American patriot. I stopped watching halfway through when Stockholm syndrome became 100% obvious
She looked so skinny getting off the plane, she must have had a very hard time.
Or, she made a deal with Obama & Clinton??
I thought moreso that she had already felt she let down those North Korean defector interviewees in China as she never finished the documentary about them and maybe it was dangerous that they allowed themselves on camera, but maybe she didn't want to anger Kim Jong Un and make him take it out on those documentary interviewees' relatives still in North Korea?
I agree with you that she seemed guarded and even sympathetic towards her captors, trying to present them as human instead of the 'monsters' they had heard of in S. Korea. She seems protective of the N. Korean government, too, and tries to project Kim as 'young' as if he is immature or unexposed to the world instead of a savvy, calculating monster who murders his own people, starving them while he is a glutton. Sorry, but that is what I think about the dictator, who can't be good or kind until he repents of his evil against his own people. He murdered his uncle, killed his brother, and that does not depict a person who is naive or immature. So, I have to wonder if she was threatened about saying anything negative about their government with retaliation. That is what it makes me think is behind her guarded attitude. Thanks for listening. Donna
She shared her experiences and could have recounted the terrible things people expect to hear when North Korea is mentioned, whether true or exaggerated. She has no family or friends in North Korea. In fact, as a child under the military dictatorship, she was taught South Korean propaganda meant to dehumanize North Korean people. Therefore, she has no obligation to hold back any criticism towards North Korea.
her humble nature saved her from harm; she showed respect for their government position...
Wondering what would happen if that wasnt the case. Sad to see though
And she also was able to speak in their language too.
I love these interviews Patrick; however sobering they may be. They really help me keep a more even perspective. May your curiosity never cease. I know mine won't.
yea come híther tracíng slúmberíñg
Just gave myself the shivers trying to imagine how hungry I would have to be to go catching mice. What a brave young woman. She inspires me with hope for humanity.

I thought maybe she was trying to protect [the relatives of] the defectors she interviewed in China,
She can't tell us everything as she's got to sell her book remember .
@William Scott dude I really don't think the north Koreans give two shits about some imperial bastard female when they brutalize their own women folk. But as a general rule men tend to get worse treatment in captivity however it seems like in north Korea it doesn't matter what you got in your nethers. They only see enemies and traitors.
I learned about this and started screaming to my family 10 years ago. They said I was crazy and it didn’t happen. We need a new vanguard and help these people. I hate this world system.
Well if you were literally screaming then I can understand them thinking you were crazy, but they still should have listened. So many should have listened.
Euna Lee is a genuine, consumate journalist of the highest level.
I read their book my senior year of high school while living in Seoul. So glad I had a good teacher who exposed us to the real world.
SHE STILL HAS FAMILY IN KOREA AND DOESNT WANT ANYONE OF THEM TO GET KILLED COME ON PAT U SHOULDVE KNEW THIS. THATS WHY SHE DIDNT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING WRONG ABOUT THEIR LEADER
She's from South Korea though, I wonder what percentage of South Koreans have distant family in North Korea.
She shared her experiences and could have recounted the terrible things people expect to hear when North Korea is mentioned, whether true or exaggerated. She has no family or friends in North Korea. In fact, as a child under the military dictatorship, she was taught South Korean propaganda meant to dehumanize North Korean people. Therefore, she has no obligation to hold back any criticism towards North Korea.
I wonder if EUna held back because she feared that the North Koreans she interacted with would be punished in her name (3 generations of them), out of fear of being targeted, or because the US (possibly??) advised her against risking international tension? I do appreciate Yeonmi Park's bravery and openness however-a great channel to follow.
Two totally different options and reasons for them. Yummi is unforgettable. So honest so deep, expressed herself so well. I felt horror for the hunger they endure. For the government to get them in line.
Patrick I saw how impressed you were with her ability to express the cruelty and indifference that she experienced and how she made bad experiences something to learn from. I cried for her and her people who suffer this very minute.
We are so spoiled. Thank you for letting me express myself.
There were moments this story made me😭😭😭. The moment of not leaving her work mate behind, her compassion for humanity. Protecting the identity of those who gave them information. I cannot understand how the world is filled with hate when there are so many good people out there.
Thank you for this interview Patrick... you really delve deeply into so many different people of society
I remember watching this play out when it happened on Current TV. I cried when she was released 😭
Brilliant Patrick. Thank you so much for this interview.
im confused why her english seems to have gotten worse rather than the opposite? Its been over 10 years since this incident, she should be expert status by now especially with her education background.
Kim Jong Il the leader at that time spoke with Bill Clinton directly and told him that he will release the 2 and that he is giving Bill a call personally because he said he never forgot that Clinton had reached out to him the very same morning when Kim Il Sung the father of KJI and leader at that time passed away when even their closest allies like China and Russia did not even make the call for any condolences. He said he never forgot that and that is why he personally wanted to give Bill a call on this one because he knew how much the release of these 2 meant to Bill. I thought that was kinda interesting. It sheds light on the human side that we dont really hear much about from that side.
It seem like she was trying to forget her past but you bring it all back & it appear she is fighting in her head to hide something she wants to forget her painful past.
I thought she was holding back, perhaps feeling she was putting people at risk with her words. North Korean leaders have long memories and are far reaching.
She agreed to the interview, she did not know how good he is at this.
@Just Me My cousin was a young just graduated and just married lawyer in Cuba when Castro people got in a building a few of them were together. To make a long and painful story short he was convicted to 15 years in prison, just for talking with colleagues and friends. Twice he tried to kill himself, his hair was very black but turned snow white in a year. Only his mother was permitted to visit. Because of" good behavior" he was released after 10 years. He NEVER talked about his time in prison. Being a brilliant and college educated man, many people tried to make him write a book, he not only refused, he would not talk about it, absolutely refused. He and his young bride( his son was born while he was in prison, being a newlywed), I think he for bit his wife to bring the boy to prison to meet him, after he was released they had a daughter. The family was granted permission to leave Cuba a few years after his release from prison.
@@caroltaylor9437 I agree with this statement; she is no dummy. She doesnt want to be hunted down.
@@caroltaylor9437 i agree was thinking the same thing
Euna's shying away from reporting the seriousness of crime against humanity in North Korea and China will not assist to better the lives or change the world's perspective of the seriousness of these dictatorships' crimes. I like and admire Ynomi's fearlessness much better and believe her activism will reap more fruit.
I just found this channel. I love the interviews and letting people tell their stories without rushing them.
Euna Lee certainly has my sympathy (along with her friend Laura), for the very unfortunate situation of their capture. How wonderful that they were united safely with their families. Yet it seems that your guest is quite reticent with her answers which could stem from a fear of any kind of retribution. Many reasons as well NOT take our freedoms for granted.
Righttt, but why did she even bother coming forward with her story? That puts her in the spotlight. Sooo she might as well go out with a bang & keep it 💯 . She didn't have ANYTHING (that I didn't already know) useful or helpful to say period..I bet the only reason why they're still alive is ONLY because they saw the third person get away and would obviously report back to China.. pr whoever speaks on behalf of them? Perhaps the American Consulte 🤔?
Idfk but NK obviously wanted a 🍪 or a fist bump.. obviously he's a good person🙄 I mean why else would he release his prisoners, UNHARMED?
Too bad Otto Wormbier wasn't so lucky 😔 that poor boy was tortured till his brain just basically gave up.
Just imagine, when my father turn 17 he joins the army and the first place they sent him was North Korea. His story to me was terrible for the people and the live hood they now this was back in the early 50’s. He is no longer here but I’m sure his story would be even more like these brave hero’s.

What brave and courageous young women. There are so many women with so many fantastic stories. They are truly heroines in every sense of the word.
Great questions you quickly became my favorite interviewer
Brought me to tears man. Thank God they were set free. However, those that are not my heart goes out to.
Another great interview
That was the bravest lady with such positive attitude . Her book should be required reading
Great interview but you can tell she's very guarded when asked about her experience when being detained.
I appreciate that Patrick has empathy yet is direct.
Wow amazing video! This woman is so strong! I watched this to the end!! Truly heartwarming and God bless this woman and Nothe Korean men and women for freedom!
What a interview....incredible
I have loved watching your interviews! Very educational and just simply stated facts!
The soldiers didn’t take a bribe because you were high value targets. You were brought to Pyongyang also as high value targets. At that time they used foreign prisoners as hostages to extort cash.
Inspiring and Amazing Choice of Journalism. Strength, purpose, and heart. I admire these journalists' courage and shared respect. For a country that continues to abuse human rights. Yet, she understood and became better educated because of this situation.
I don't know who she's with, anything about her, or what her m.o. is, but I do not trust her recitation. I don't mean to incite an argument, but Patrick asked what we thought at the end. My instincts and my read picked up deception and a guarded, yet pointed, demeanor. Her dancing around the most obvious & important questions, by responding with conveluted answers, is just one tell for example. That's my personal take. It was an interesting interview.
The interview with Yeonmi Park was also very interesting. To me by far best interview Patrick ever had.
@@lizpadilla5770
Thanks for the suggestion. I will take a look.
I agree there were many Tells that seemed coerced
Very interesting interview. You have the best guests.
Sadly, she has much less to give than the young woman you interviewed before. She is clearly holding back.
Bless her and all the people suffering across the world 🌍 remember we have the the victory
When i see another human treating other humans like that it completely breaks the BOND of TRUST on trusting that human being.

An excellent interview.
This is such a great channel.
It seems she wouldn't mind going back there. Like this was a great experience!
She tells this story with not much emotion.
Doesn't sound like she really had a horrific experience, which is confusing to me.
and yet all of us back in the states were so concerned and prayed
every moment for their release. She only answers the specific questions, not much more.
too much sugar coating!!!! I don't feel like she took me thru her experience in captivity.
Patrick is a great interviewer!!!!
Patrick Bet-David, Big heartfelt thank you for a great podcast. 💗💗💗 Thank you Patrick Bet-David 💗💗💗
Man, that was like talking to a brick wall. Never saw Pat struggle so much to get something, anything of some significance out of an interviewee's mouth. Just your average, cliché, women's magazine recount and 2 ideas. But then, Clinton saved her...
Geo Desire Exactly.
Being 140 days there, she hasn't said much.
I thought the same. I actually think she is scared to speak though she denies it. Can't blame her at all though.
Common have a heart.She was severely traumatised,it makes you forget and makws you not want to share details and also she can't reveal all
Because if she do, nk might torture future foreigners who will be captured. They might regret freeing them just like what they do to her.
@@micabell3677 I BET THAT'S 1000% RIGHT
Stay tuned for the Brazzers North korean edition...you ll see it all there....
We cannot give leaders like Kim Jong-Un and the light of day because they do not care about anyone but themselves.
Another tear jerker! Heavy! I appreciate Euna telling us her story. I understand this perspective of seeing the N. Korean people separate from the government and not having a picture of them in my head when I hear the name of the country. It's taking me years to wrap my mind around this where I live in Hawaii regarding the USA. For me it took someone I trust and respect greatly to SHOW me before I could really comprehend the political vs. legal vs. cultural values he lives by, given to him by his grandfather. Then I realized the picture in my head for them was incorrect.
I am trying to deprogram myself from the hateful board of education crap I received in the long hours I spent with them here in these Hawaiian Islands. Grateful for viewing many truthful videos coming out this year like this and academic doctors willing to debunk past written history.
Mahalo nui loa from Hilo, Hawaii island in the country in continuity called Ko Hawaii Pae Aina or Hawaiian Islands, H. I. If I didn't confirm our country's existence in 2015, I would NEVER be interested in this topic at all. I'm only now learning political views and systems and law and foreign relations and hearing the story from those who lived it makes all the difference now! 👍
Looking at her departure from the airplane and her expression of thank god we survived, her story she seems to downplay her experience.
Leann Wilson Yes, her story does not match her expression in those pics. There are things she has not shared.
Another great interview, Patrick!
Her obvious hesitation to talk is very telling.
Thank you Euna Lee for sharing with us today! Love to you
Such a good interview . Pat is the best
You have the greatest videos
The North Korean people are victims, but just like all of us .....praying for them
It seemed from the interview that she was shielded from many things.
It was good to hear her relay the humanity side of the officials.
Maybe in the book she says so, but it would be interesting to hear of different conversations she might have had with different guards where she details life outside NK to them.
Great interview btw.👏👏
Can’t believe she is shielding for NK unbelievable
Fascinating....I wonder what she thinks happened to Otto Warmbier?
I really understood what she was not saying; she wants to get help for the starving people of North Korea... great interview
Link CQC
She understands that sanctions make it much worse for the common people of North Korea. For a couple of months, China enforced sanctions in 2017. Not even first aid kits were allowed to enter North Korea because the metal needles and sensors were made of that is how strict they were. The main justification for sanctions is that it puts pressure on the common people to create civil unrest thereby forcing their government to do anything for the sanctions to be lifted but in the case of North Korea if the people didn't rebel in the 1990s they are unlikely going to rebel now people don't start revolutions on an empty stomach.
I see the poster that I signed behind Euna. Good to see you are in good health.
Is this a threat?
In the speed round - she walks the tight rope - very compromising without standing for the people left behind from the situation of which she herself was delivered. She will not go back to rescue them (she even has guilt for not publishing the documentry to the people she intervied and the people she had promised) - even in her thoughts. I have pity for what she has suffered, but I do not respect for her. She has let them all down.
God bless them. 😢😢. We need to embrace our freedoms.
Great content
When I watched this interview I got the feeling just like you said that she was holding something back and weighing every word. I wondered if she was still afraid of the north Koreans or if the US government asked her not to disguss certain things. It seemed like you kept trying to get her to talk and getting nowhere. Afterall she does know the power of film. Perhaps her book reveals more, but somehow I doubt it. The biggest story was that she was released. And I am sure she was grateful for that. When we are young such bravery seems like a grand adventure. Then when things go wrong we grow up fast. By the way she acted I'm surprised that she allowed the interview at all.
I feel the same way. But i think she felt responsible of the other foreigners who might not go out alive because NK might regret that freeing a captive might make noise just like her.
There's no doubt she was scared. One never completely recovers after having been through that, much like those who've been in a destructive cult. I know of some who've been out from one for well over 15 years, and she is still scared.
I cried like a baby seeing those pictures of her with her little girl! God bless you Euan Lee and God bless President Clinton!

The Ruffled Bunny Yes, lol, it did get very odd in the end. Patrick felt the same but wasn't quite able to fix it. All in all, I too am grateful she's okay.
I love Patrick's questions
I I think this individual was trying to be diplomatic and her responses. I think in fact she did see humanity and some of the people that held her captive. Because these are the North Korean people and just because they are serving in military doesn’t mean that they are evil it’s what they’re supposed to do in that country because that’s what it is expected of them. I am glad that she saw humanity in them because that’s why we are so disturbed with how these people are treated. We learn from the defectors like Yeonmi The realities of growing up in that country and escaping from the country. This journalist is like the rest of us she sees it from the outside and because she didn’t grow up in it she didn’t leave it that way she’s seeing it from a different perspective. I do think she’s out there doing the work of the people caring about human rights and I know she is grateful for having been rescued and returned home. In her work I do believe she will continue to do the work of the people and for the rights other people. I am grateful that she was rescued as was her documentary partner. I think there’s so much more about their experiences that we will never truly know. Or not for a very long time. Thank you for showing this perspective as well…
I understand the reason for starvation in north korea, so people don't have any thing to do but find food and not have any time to complain about the government. It is hard for the American people to understand the concept of "no food", but I heard about Putin say if you rip all the feathers out of a chicken, that chicken will still follow you if you give it food, so the people of north korea, food is their only concern
Rice, soup, fried fish, bedroom with guards... Must be horrible because she missed her youtube and instagram.
My opinion : somehow these women were treated extremely well by North Korean standards & it is stunning it got to Presidental levels to get them out . No one will ever know what was given up to get them out . That border is nothing to play with .
Nothing in my openion was changed about Evil North Korean Regime. Her being careful about the North Korean Regime is because she has to. We don't know what kind of deal/promisses/agreement was made between Clinton and leader of North Korea! in order to get them released. So, I can't really critisize her for being discreet about North Korea, I believe that is the difference between her and the North Korean defector(Park). Park was so honest and brave because she didn't have that kind of obligation to be considerate/careful!!! beside the fact that she was from North Korea and she had lived the situation there. And to correct her about the U.S sanction on Iran; as an Iranian on behalf of like %85 of Iranian people I can say the people of Iran are %100 behind the sanction of Islamic Regime of Iran because we think that is the only way to weaken this kind of totaliter regimes and help people to fight against their dicator government (not like Obama boosting Iran's terrorist, oppressor regime with money and power)and I am pretty sure the North Korean people have the same thought and demand from U.S. and other countries too.
Thank you from Santa Cruz California
