LARRY: CONGRATULATINGS TO MEET
YOU.
I READ PART OF IT.
YOU’RE PRETTY TOUGH ON COLUMBIA,
I’M SURE RIGHTLY SO.
JUST WALK US BACK THOUGH.
YOU HAD A BRUTAL PAST.
YOU GOT OUT OF NORTH KOREA,
FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE.
YOU WENT INTO CHINA, MADE A SEX
SLAVE OUT OF YOU.
YOU WENT THROUGH MONGOLIA TO GET
TO FREEDOM.
MONGOLIA IS VERY INTERESTING
COUNTRY, A FREE MARKET COUNTRY.
TELL US A WEE BIT ABOUT YOUR
PAST.
>> YEAH I WAS BORN IN
NORTH KOREA.
WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD WE
COULDN’T FIND ANYMORE
DRAGONFLIES, GRASSHOPPERS, THAT
IS WHAT I ATE TO SURVIVE.
AT 13 I WAS LOOKING FOR A BOWL
OF RICE SO MY MOTHER AND I
ESCAPED TO CHINA.
WHEN I WAS IN CHINA I SAW MY
MOTHER BEING RAPED.
THEN THEY SOLD MY MOM INTO
SECTION SLAVERY FOR $65.
THEY SOLD ME JUST -- BECAUSE I
WAS VIRGIN CHILD.
TWO YEARS LATER IN CHINA I MET
MISSIONARIES FROM SOUTH KOREA.
THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD BE
FREE IN SOUTH KOREA.
WE ASKED THEM HOW DO WE DO THAT?
WE CAN WALK ACROSS FROZEN GOBI
DESERT INTO MONGOLIA FROM CHINA.
SO WE DID THAT.
AND BY SOME MIRACLE I SURVIVE IN
THE DESERT AND FROM MONGOLIA
THEY HELPED ME TO GO TO SOUTH
KOREA.
THAT IS HOW I BECAME FREE.
LARRY: SOMEHOW GOD WAS LOOKING
AFTER YOU?
>> YES HE DID.
LARRY: IT’S A GREAT STORY.
I DON’T WANT TO DWELL ON IT,
MONGOLIA PART ANOTHER SEGMENT
SOMETIME, THEY’RE PRETTY GOOD
GOVERNMENT, PRETTY GOOD FREE
MARKET GOVERNMENT.
>> YEAH.
LARRY: THANK YOU FOR ALL OF
THAT.
IT’S A BLESSING THAT YOU MADE IT
THROUGH.
NOW AT COLUMBIA, YOU’RE WRITING
THESE KIDS WANT TO BE OPPRESSED.
THEY LOVE SOCIALISM.
THEY LOVE COMMUNISM.
THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT CAPITALISM.
THEY SAY IT IS, PROBLEM IS WHITE
PEOPLE.
I MEAN, I DIDN’T KNOW, COLUMBIA
USED TO BE A VERY GOOD, YOU KNOW
SCHOOL, HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTION AND YOU’RE SAYING IT
IS A LOT OF DRIVEL, A LOT OF
NONSENSE.
>> IT IS BEYOND NONSENSE.
IT IS MADNESS WHAT THEY’RE
SAYING IS, THEY TALK ABOUT
OPPRESSION.
KEEP TELL ME OPPRESSED, AMERICA
IS HORRIBLE.
WE NEED TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY.
I WAS ASKING THEM WHAT ABOUT
AMERICA YOU HATE SO MUCH?
WE HAVE INEQUALITY IN THIS
COUNTRY.
IN NORTH KOREA WE DON’T HAVE
INEQUALITY.
WE’RE DYING FROM STARVATION.
THE SIGN OF INEQUALITY MEANS
THERE IS ROOM FOR RICE, YOU CAN
INNOVATE, GET REWARDED.
WHAT IS YOURS IS MINE, WHAT COLUMBIA PROFESSOR SAYING.
COLUMBIA PROFESSOR SAYING.
WE NEED TO TO STEAL FROM ALL OF
RICH PEOPLE.
WE NEED TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY
FOR EQUITY AND FAIRNESS.
THAT IS WHAT MADE NORTH KOREA
TODAY.
THAT IS WHY I ESCAPED COUNTRY.
LARRY: THAT LEADS TO SOCIALISM.
THAT LEADS TO COMMUNISM.
>> THAT IS REAL SOCIALISM.
LARRY: WHEN DID THAT EVER
SUCCEED?
DID YOU ASK THEM FOR SPECIFIC --
JUST TODAY, IS RUSSIA SUCH A
GREAT PLACE?
EVEN CHINA WHICH WAS GOOD, NOW
IT IS GOING DOWN?
IS VENEZUELA SUCH A GREAT PLACE?
IS CUBA SUCH A GREAT PLACE?
I DON’T GET IT.
>> I ASKED THEM LIKE, LOOK AT
THE EXAMPLES.
THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF
THIS SAME IDEOLOGY.
THEY SAID I’M A THREAT.
I’M BRAINWASHED PUPPET OF
RIGHT-WINGERS.
LARRY: YOU’RE A THREAT?
YOU’RE A BRAINWASHED PUPPET,
REALLY NOT THEM.
>> THEY DON’T LET ME SPEAK,
COLUMBIA HAVE SOMETHING CALLED
SAFE SPACE.
THEY CAN’T HAVE DIVERSE
OPINIONS.
IT IS ALL ABOUT DIVERSITY OF
SKIN COLOR.
IT IS NOT A UNIVERSITY.
IT’S A CULT.
EXACT SAME THING IN NORTH KOREA.
THEY PUT YOU IN A CLASS AND
BRAINWASH YOU.
THEY’RE DOING THE EXACT SAME
THING.
PUT PROFESSORS WHO ARE
BRAINWASHING TO HATE AMERICA.
LARRY: PROFESSORS TOO, NOT JUST
THE KIDS, PROFESSORS?

>> YEAH.
LARRY: NOW YOU’RE FIGHTING IT
HOW?
>> I’M FIGHTING TO TELL
AMERICANS TO UNDERSTAND REAL
TYRANNY.
LET THEM KNOW THIS IS THE
GREATEST COUNTRY IN HUMAN
HISTORY.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
IT’S A MIRACLE.
I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS COUNTRY
EXISTS.
WE GOT THIS COUNTRY, WHY ARE
THEY DESTROYING IT? I THINK THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND
I THINK THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND
HOW MANY PEOPLE LIKE, THERE ARE
300,000 DEFECTORS IN CHINA.
