1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Snarley and I were talking about the North Koreans and UH, 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: in their their their tests. There's gonna be a sanction 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: vote tomorrow. And once again, ladies in general, we have 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: been shafted by the the Russians and the and the Chinese. Uh. 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: The vote on sanctions is tomorrow. And fox Head breaking 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: news story this morning saying that an arms embargo will 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: not be added to U N resolutions. There will be 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: no ban on where the nor comes can fly in 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: the resolution. Uh. I mean this is really watered down 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: stuff to be voted on tomorrow morning. Now, all of 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: this is supposed to deter North Korea. All of this 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: is supposed to deter Iran. Make no mistake about something 13 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: on this. Uh. The Iranians are watching all this very carefully, 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: just as they were watching the Israeli hes Bala war. 15 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: Probably part of that one, just to check everybody's resolve. 16 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: And I I didn't interview with Joel Rosenberg earlier this 17 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: week for an upcoming issue of the Limboll Letter. And Joel, 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he's convinced that the chi coms and the 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: norcoms have an alliance, but he really believes that the 20 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: North Korea thing is uh something being sponsored by Iran 21 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: to test everybody in the world's reaction to it. Uh, 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: just to see if we have the will anymore to 23 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: stop rogue regimes like this from acquiring nuclear weapons. Not 24 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: appears that this little Kim Jong Il uh maybe pulling 25 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: a Saddam Hussein doesn't have a weapon yet, trying to 26 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: make everybody believe that he does. Uh. Saddam trying to 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: be the big guy, the big anti American guy in 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: the Middle East. And here's Uh, here's Kim John Ill 29 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: who just wants some respect. And I've sick and tired 30 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: of hearing democrats go on television to night. We just 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: want some respect. If we just grab him some respects. 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: Why should we have to grant these guys respect? What 33 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: have they done to earn it? You've seen the satellite photo, 34 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: haven't you. Rumsfeld showed this picture the other day at 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: a press conference. Nighttime satellite picture shows lights blazing all 36 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: over South Korea. In North Korea, it is entirely dark 37 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: except for a little pin point of light where Kim 38 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: Jong Ill lives in pyeong Yang. It is it is 39 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: said that the lights in the North Korea have to 40 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: go off at nine o'clock every night because they just 41 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: don't have the electricity. They are backwards, stone age country. 42 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: People journalists that have been over there and have been 43 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: granted certain access say it is the most is the 44 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: mind boggling thing to watch North Korea people go about 45 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: their business. They walk looking at their shoes, They do 46 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: not make eye contact with one another. They are robotic, 47 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: they are afraid to stand out. They're they're definitely afraid 48 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: of being shot, being killed, imprisoned or whatever for looking 49 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: at something the wrong way. What in the world is 50 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: it that engenders respect about this regime, particularly from liberals 51 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: who I thought were so concerned about human rights in 52 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: the Liberals ought to be leading the charge for reform 53 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: of places like this and the Middle East, and once 54 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: again they're exposed as the phonies and the hypocrites that 55 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: they are. In a way, I can't help but think 56 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: that this, this water down resolution is a little pathetic. 57 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: We go to the u N. China and Russia delude 58 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: our efforts, UH and we get nowhere, and yet we 59 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: keep going there. We don't have to go there, and 60 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: we ought to not go there, but we do because 61 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: we've got to explore all the diplomatic options first before 62 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: we do anything next. Um Now, my guess is that 63 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: one of the reasons we might be willing to accept 64 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: a watered down resolution is because the guy hasn't really 65 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: blown up a nuke that he just you know, threw 66 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: some essentially some sticks of nine, probably called the act 67 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: mee dynamite come probably call it the same outfit that 68 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: while e coyote calls and had a had a box 69 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: of dynamite act mee dynamite shipped over there and or 70 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: a couple and blew them up. Is nobody can find 71 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: any traces of radioactivity. My guess is that behind the scenes, 72 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: people sitting around saying that's really what a nuclear test 73 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: and let's not overreact and so forth. But I think 74 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: that's potentially a mistake.
