WEBVTT - Iran Watches Us Deal with North Korea

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Snarley and I were talking about the North Koreans and UH,

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in their their their tests. There's gonna be a sanction

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>vote tomorrow. And once again, ladies in general, we have

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>been shafted by the the Russians and the and the Chinese. Uh.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>The vote on sanctions is tomorrow. And fox Head breaking

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>news story this morning saying that an arms embargo will

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.159
<v Speaker 1>not be added to U N resolutions. There will be

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 1>no ban on where the nor comes can fly in

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the resolution. Uh. I mean this is really watered down

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 1>stuff to be voted on tomorrow morning. Now, all of

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>this is supposed to deter North Korea. All of this

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to deter Iran. Make no mistake about something

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>on this. Uh. The Iranians are watching all this very carefully,

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>just as they were watching the Israeli hes Bala war.

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Probably part of that one, just to check everybody's resolve.

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>And I I didn't interview with Joel Rosenberg earlier this

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>week for an upcoming issue of the Limboll Letter. And Joel,

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's convinced that the chi coms and the

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>norcoms have an alliance, but he really believes that the

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>North Korea thing is uh something being sponsored by Iran

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to test everybody in the world's reaction to it. Uh,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>just to see if we have the will anymore to

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>stop rogue regimes like this from acquiring nuclear weapons. Not

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>appears that this little Kim Jong Il uh maybe pulling

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>a Saddam Hussein doesn't have a weapon yet, trying to

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>make everybody believe that he does. Uh. Saddam trying to

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>be the big guy, the big anti American guy in

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East. And here's Uh, here's Kim John Ill

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>who just wants some respect. And I've sick and tired

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of hearing democrats go on television to night. We just

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>want some respect. If we just grab him some respects.

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Why should we have to grant these guys respect? What

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>have they done to earn it? You've seen the satellite photo,

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't you. Rumsfeld showed this picture the other day at

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a press conference. Nighttime satellite picture shows lights blazing all

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>over South Korea. In North Korea, it is entirely dark

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>except for a little pin point of light where Kim

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Jong Ill lives in pyeong Yang. It is it is

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 1>said that the lights in the North Korea have to

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>go off at nine o'clock every night because they just

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have the electricity. They are backwards, stone age country.

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>People journalists that have been over there and have been

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>granted certain access say it is the most is the

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>mind boggling thing to watch North Korea people go about

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>their business. They walk looking at their shoes, They do

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>not make eye contact with one another. They are robotic,

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>they are afraid to stand out. They're they're definitely afraid

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of being shot, being killed, imprisoned or whatever for looking

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>at something the wrong way. What in the world is

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it that engenders respect about this regime, particularly from liberals

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>who I thought were so concerned about human rights in

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the Liberals ought to be leading the charge for reform

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 1>of places like this and the Middle East, and once

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>again they're exposed as the phonies and the hypocrites that

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>they are. In a way, I can't help but think

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that this, this water down resolution is a little pathetic.

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>We go to the u N. China and Russia delude

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>our efforts, UH and we get nowhere, and yet we

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>keep going there. We don't have to go there, and

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we ought to not go there, but we do because

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>we've got to explore all the diplomatic options first before

0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>we do anything next. Um Now, my guess is that

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons we might be willing to accept

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a watered down resolution is because the guy hasn't really

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>blown up a nuke that he just you know, threw

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.479
<v Speaker 1>some essentially some sticks of nine, probably called the act

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 1>mee dynamite come probably call it the same outfit that

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>while e coyote calls and had a had a box

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of dynamite act mee dynamite shipped over there and or

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple and blew them up. Is nobody can find

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>any traces of radioactivity. My guess is that behind the scenes,

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>people sitting around saying that's really what a nuclear test

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and let's not overreact and so forth. But I think

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that's potentially a mistake.
