Okay, Dennis Rodman has been crying on TV 58 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: since he played for the Detroit Pistons. If you remember, 59 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: remember the great Roy Firestone, he had one of the 60 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: original probably I mean there might have been something before it, 61 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: but on ESPN. Uh, going way back into the eighties, 62 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: Roy Fierstein, who was a comedian radio personality, uh, you know, 63 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: talk show guy, he had one of the first sit 64 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: down interview shows on ESPN called Up Close with Roy Fierstein. Um, 65 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: he had great interviews. He had like everybody at the time, 66 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, Magic Johnson, Will Chamberlain, everybody from the eighties, 67 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: Joe Montan. I mean, it was just like it was 68 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: the place to go. Now there's you know, everybody has 69 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: a an interview show. Everybody everybody a podcast or like assholes, 70 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: everybody has one. But Roy Firestone or Firestein had the 71 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: original show on ESPN. And I remember way back when 72 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: uh uh, when Dennis Robin you know, was first sort 73 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: of jumping on the scene when he was with Detroit. 74 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: He came on the Roy Fireston show and uh, he 75 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: was telling his story and he cried, um. And it 76 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: was very emotional because at the time, you didn't see athletes, 77 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: you didn't see black athletes. You didn't see six ft 78 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: ten uh, black athletes cry that much on TV because again, 79 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: there wasn't that as much exposure to the athletes. Um. 80 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: And it was a very compelling interview. You talked about 81 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: growing up, he had a crazy life, and he talked about, 82 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, his daughter, and it was just he cried 83 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: very genuinely and and very openly, and it and it, 84 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, got a lot of headlines and it sort 85 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: of gave you an insight to Dennis Robbin. And Dennis 86 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: Robin hasn't stopped crying since. And although everybody was a 87 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: fan of him as a player or you either you 88 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: either loved him or you love to hate him, depending 89 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: on what teamy you were rooting for. Um, Dennis Robben 90 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: is a fucking nut job. Yeah, yeah, he's he's not 91 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: the show artist knife in the draw. No, he really isn't. 92 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: He really isn't. And and and he's been crying every 93 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: step of the way. He cried on Celebrity Rehab. Of course, 94 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: he was well within his right to cry when he 95 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: got nominated into the Basketball Hall of Fame. I believe 96 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: he cried on the Apprentice with Donald Trump. He he 97 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: cries every fucking where he goes. Um. You know, I 98 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: think he cried the last time he was on the 99 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: Howard Stern Show, and most recently, uh during the Kim 100 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: John un uh Donald Trump uh quote unquote summit. Uh. 101 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: You know he somehow it became a part of it. 102 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: And and when he was talking about his place in 103 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing, he cried again. And I want to say, 104 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: is is I don't think there's any parameters on whether 105 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: men should cry or or not. You're a grown man. 106 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: Get your fucking self together, man, Stop crying every time 107 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: you're on TV. Yeah, okay.

Maybe he thinks it's because it's emotions. 120 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because his lips are so fucked up and 121 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: his lips are so dry.

Well, later on in the show, Eli Lake 138 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: is gonna break down whether or not they hammered out 139 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: a deal. And I'll be honest right now, I'll confess 140 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: I broke rule number one of the Iron Wrappers Stereo podcast. 141 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: And I did fact check, and I actually intensively fact checked, 142 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: because when it comes to politics, I know what I know, 143 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: and I know what I don't know, uh, and I 144 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: know a lot less that I actually know. And they 145 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: didn't hammer out a deal. What what they have right 146 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: now is a deal to sort of make a deal, 147 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: if that makes sense, Like they have a but we've 148 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: had deals to make deals with North Korea for for years, okay, 149 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: and and they never get done, just like we've had 150 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: deals to make deals with other places and they never 151 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: get done. So um, yes, they have a deal to 152 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: make a deal in place, if that makes sense. That's 153 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: like me saying, okay, gee, we're going to uh uh 154 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: do a deal uh with Time Warner.

And 160 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: then let's say in October they say, you know what 161 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: we're we've changed our mind. We're not doing the show 162 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: about the circus and everybody about their business. That's what 163 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: they have right now, just two and a half years 164 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: to actually execute what they agreed upon. And and don't 165 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: don't be fooled by what Dick stain Donald Trump is saying, 166 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: because there is no actual thing happening. They met for 167 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: a few hours, and that say you think years and 168 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: years and years and decades and decades and decades of 169 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: Donald Trump choosing a killer Kim John Hue. That's what 170 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: Dennis rod mused ago. He's a great guy. He's a 171 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: fucking murderer. He enslaves his people. They're so enslaved, and 172 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: they're so oppressed they don't even know that they're oppressed. 173 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: The people grow up in that. So for Dennis Robin 174 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: is sit there and go he's a great guy. And 175 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump vig he's he's talented. He called him talented, 176 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: Like what is this fucking the G league or what 177 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: are we watching here? Uh? You know, America's got this 178 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: a singing contest. He's talented, like like is this minor 179 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: league baseball? Yeah, he's a talent ated shortstop. You that's 180 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: out of all the words that you could come up 181 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: with about Kim John Un. I get that he's having 182 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: to smooze him, and you know, because he is a lunatic, 183 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: way more than than Donald Trump is. I get that 184 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: he's you know, trying to work him, but to sit 185 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: there and like it's one thing to work him in 186 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: and sort of try to, you know, soften things, another 187 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: thing to suck him off and be like, oh, he's talented, 188 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: he's really smart, he's really funny. Like, why don't you 189 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: just suck him off? Man, just just instead of doing 190 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: the handshake in front of our flags, suck him off. 191 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: Oh nah, Yo, you guys are fucking nuts. You refuse 192 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: to give this gun any any you're not listening. I 193 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: just I just said that I understand what he's trying 194 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: to do, and I also just said that I fact 195 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: checked and I'm very well informed. I not only did 196 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: I speak to Eli Lake, I've really investigated and did 197 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: a thorough fact checking with what actually took place in 198 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: Korea understand and what didn't take place. And I'm saying, 199 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: I get, I get that it's a step in the 200 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: right direction, but we're talking about a step in a 201 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: long marathon. Yeah, but that's that's that's something that that 202 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: you get started that it didn't happen before. So this 203 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: guy got something started, and you reluctantly want to give 204 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: him props, but you should. So you think meeting with 205 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: Adolph Hitler is a good thing because that's essentially what 206 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: he's doing. Uh, did this guy, this little this this 207 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: guy is not Hitler? The fuck no, do break rule 208 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: number one? And when you get do a deep dive 209 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: into him, I will. I know he's a but he's 210 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: trying to de nuclearize this cat. That's the point of 211 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: this thing, right, So when you go into the right 212 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: direction and you make a sort of an agreement, you know, 213 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: that's good. That's that's good for the two nations. So 214 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: to reluctantly give this, uh, you know your guys are 215 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: crazy with that ship man. You need to kind of understand, like, Yo, 216 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: you don't like him, fuck it, nobody likes him. But 217 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: that is a good move. For both nations. Now we 218 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be completed, but it's a 219 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: step in the right direction. And leave it. Leave it 220 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: at that, You guys don't want to give this dude 221 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: no but that he should have left it at that 222 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: instead of overcomplimenting a guy who's a murderer. The guy's 223 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: a fucking murderer. He enslaves his people. People don't revere him. 224 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: People are fucking terrified of Kim John un he they 225 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: shut ship down homeboys crazy, and he don't need to 226 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: have no nuclear weapons and the United States and Donald 227 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: Trump is kicking it to him like that. Yo, give 228 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: the guy some a little bit of credit, and you 229 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: bringing Eli Lake on as some credible uh, but this 230 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: is the guy that didn't predict the election. I got 231 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: I love Eli, but I gotta kick it real, you 232 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: guys that let's move forward. Forward is the ship I 233 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: always got over with the election? You want to get 234 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: But you want to talk about the finals. I just 235 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: said we weren't talking about the final. I all right, well, 236 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: well do you want to talk about credit? You wanta 237 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: talk about credit? You got no playoffs, no Trump. But 238 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: when you mentioned it, I try to be in the middle. 239 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: But do you want to talk about the playoffs? The 240 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: playoffs is over, my guy lost, It's over, okay, all right.

I said, I disagreed with my 248 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: man Bobby de Niro after what he said at the 249 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: Tony Awards.

Pollock Elementary School 543 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: jumped the principal and vice principal on Family Day when 544 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: they were told that they had to sign their child 545 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: out of the office.

They didn't like that, 547 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: so they beat up the principal and the vice principle 548 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: in front of all the other kids and all the 549 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: other students and all the other parents.

Eli Lake is joining the show. How 600 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: are you, Eli, I'm good man. I'm trying to trying 601 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: to maintaining the best we can. Um. The reason why 602 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: I wanted your expertise is because Donald Trump met with 603 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: Kim John Un UM and then they signed a letter 604 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: which I actually read with a four part thing. Two 605 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: of the things were nothing, two of the things were 606 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: potentially something. And I understand schmoozing, I understand appeasing, and 607 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 1: I understand politicking because because this is the true essence 608 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: of politicking. Donald Trump meeting with Kim John un that's politicking, 609 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, where you have to sort of, you know, 610 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: mince your words and you're you're you're you're trying to 611 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: sort of give something to get something. UM. My first 612 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: question is about the meeting and the response that Donald 613 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: Trump gave after meeting Kim John Un. He said a 614 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: bunch of things about Kim John Un, one of them saying, 615 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: and one of them being that Kim John Un and 616 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: I quote is talented. Now, there's all sorts of words 617 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: you could use to describe different people. What the fuck 618 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: was Donald Trump referring to when he referred to Kim 619 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: John Un as talented? Is he a talented dictator. Is 620 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: he a talented killer? Maybe he has a skill uh 621 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: a piano we're not aware of. Maybe he played the 622 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: clarinet for Donald Trump. What is talented about Kim John Un? 623 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: And and who is Kim John Like, give the the 624 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: facts in the reality of who he is and what 625 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: he's done. Yeah, well, let's start of the second part. 626 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un is the third generation Kim to rule 627 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: absolutely over North Korea. I was in North Korea with 628 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: Mantelin Albright in two thousand when I was a younger 629 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: State Department corresponding. And it is a relic of the 630 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: totalitarian twentieth century when you had like the Soviet Union 631 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 1: being the most obvious example, where it's literally the people 632 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: are in constant fear of the regime because they can 633 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: do anything to you. It's something that I think it's 634 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: hard to appreciate as Americans because we have rights, but 635 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: it's not just a matter of rights and a piece 636 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: of paper. There are stories of you know, regime officials 637 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,959 Speaker 1: who got out of favor with the supreme leader there 638 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: and they're not only they, but their entire family and 639 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: their house would disappear overnight. You would never hear from 640 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: them again, and they would go to these gulags in 641 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: the country, these work camps that are vast where they're 642 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: at least a hundred thousand Koreans in them, sometimes generations 643 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: of Koreans, because they punish an entire family. Um, that's real. 644 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: That's a fact, that's not made up. That's not no, 645 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: that's that's like like some sort of like Santa Claus exists. 646 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: That's a real fucking thing. Yes, it's disgusting. And they're 647 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: listen when Trump says there's a lot of bad places, 648 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: that's true. We can talk about a lot of places 649 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: where they're are horrendo human rights situations, but I'd say 650 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: that probably North Korea is the worst. And there is 651 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: an easily google herble report from the U N from 652 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: if we just put human rights in North Korea fourteen, 653 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: you'll find it and it gets into some detail about um, 654 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: these kinds of things. So does that said? And I'm 655 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm of the view that um eventually, UM sooner I 656 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: mean or later, that you know, these kinds of systems 657 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: can't really maintain in the modern world because the population, 658 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: as you open up, if it's true, as the irony 659 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: is that as Frump says to say, hey, we can 660 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: bring you into the modern world. We can you know, 661 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: you can imagine of a future where you have doctors 662 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: and you know, technology and public transportation, all these things. 663 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: He put out a video he showed them and everything 664 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: like that. Um, if that's true, then their citizens are 665 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: gonna look around and saying, why in the world shall 666 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: we live in constant fear that some party apparat is 667 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: going to destroy our lives as of some perceived slight 668 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:08,280 Speaker 1: of the dear leader. Um. Eventually they can't, that cannot continue. 669 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: One thing has to give, um, and usually these dictators, 670 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 1: these tyrants will fall in a pretty bloody way. Um. 671 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: It's there's usually not a pretty peaceful transition. So eventually 672 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: the Kim family probably will have to pay that price 673 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: if he opens up, which is one of the reasons 674 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: why North Koree is known as the hermit Kingdom because 675 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't do that. That's the backdrop for this. So 676 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: when he says Kim is talented, what he's referring to 677 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: are the things that Kim did between twenty and now, 678 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: which is the consolidate power. He had his uncle murdered. 679 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: He that's real, that's real. He murdered his uncle. He 680 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: went after his half brother who was in a foreign country, Malaysia, 681 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: and actually used a nerve agent on him, similar to 682 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: what the Russians recently did in the United Kingdom against 683 00:41:55,719 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: one of her former spies. Um. He has um made 684 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: sure right before he went to the summit, he fired 685 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: his defense minister and his pop general for his military. 686 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: We don't necessarily know what's going to happen with them. 687 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: So in this very narrow sense, and I would never 688 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 1: use the word talented. Certainly, Kim Jong hoon is cunning 689 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: in that he has managed to consolidate power even at 690 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: a very young age UM where it's more likely that 691 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 1: you know, he will not be off by a rival. 692 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: So if you want to say he's talented in that, 693 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: go ahead. The real problem with what Trump said after 694 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: the meeting with Kim was in an interview with George 695 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: Stephanopolos of ABC, and this, in my view, is unforgivable. 696 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: What he said is, uh, you know, he was asked, 697 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: what are the security guarantees you're willing to give North Korea? 698 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: And by the way, every administration since Clinton has tried 699 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: to offer them security guarantees. In general, the formula is, 700 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: you give us your nukes and we will give you 701 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: security for this regime. We will help you survive. But 702 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: then Trump said something that you should never have said it. 703 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: He said his country does love him. His people. You 704 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: see the fervor, they have this great fervor. That's bullshit. 705 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: There's no way Korean people do not love Kim Jong loon. 706 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: And the reason it's important because you can say, oh, 707 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: he's flattering him, he's buttering him up. This is a 708 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: Trump kind of thing to do. But the reason it's 709 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 1: important is that, especially in the modern era, dictators constantly 710 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: looked for validation from the free world to normalize them 711 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: to their own population because the messages this is hopeless. 712 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: And while I've imagined that a lot of Iron Rapp 713 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: Report listeners may not have been huge Ronald Reagan fans, 714 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: one of the great things that Reagan did do is 715 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: he constantly made the case for the political prisoners and 716 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 1: dissidents in the Soviet Union, so much that after the 717 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: fall of the Soviet Union, they kind of said, listen, 718 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: we were aware that the an American president in the 719 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties had raised his issues with our leaders, and 720 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: that was a great thing for us, it gave us 721 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: some hope. This is the opposite of that. Trump is 722 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,399 Speaker 1: basically repeating the lie that North Koreans are told all 723 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: the time, and oh, don't you love the dear leader, 724 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: And that's a real problem. And he didn't need to 725 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: do that because Kim's gonna make a deal with Trump, 726 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: not because he's flattered by Trump. This is not a 727 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 1: real estate bargain. Kim's gonna end up if he does 728 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 1: make a deal, which I think is still unlikely. But 729 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: let's say, you know, let's say it's a possibility if 730 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna do it because he's calculated. If I don't 731 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: make a deal, then that's it for me. And Trump 732 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: is serious that he will use military force. So in 733 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,240 Speaker 1: a weird way, I think it's it's sort of opposite. 734 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: Like Trump should get some credit for going buck wild 735 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, I may have to you know, our 736 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: nukes are bigger than your nukes and all this other stuff, 737 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: even though nobody wants a war, because it probably forced 738 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: him to to recalculate and say, all right, maybe I 739 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: should do business with this guy, because if I don't, 740 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: that's it. You know, He's he's crazy enough to actually 741 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: start a war as opposed to this stuff where he's 742 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 1: like validating him. And that is the downside of any 743 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: deal with North Korea is that we will end up becoming, 744 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: in some ways, you know, partners with you know, a 745 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: foul and oppressive tyranny. And we really should just be 746 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 1: aware of that. And if we can actually get rid 747 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: of his nukes, even me, and I'm a big human 748 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: rights guy, believes it's worth it because that's too much 749 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: of a threat. If we can get those weapons out 750 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: of his hands, then that's a good thing for the world. 751 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: But we should be aware that the real cost here 752 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: is that we're gonna be coming basically these kind of 753 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 1: senior partners with petty, thuggish dictator. And it's that's that's 754 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: that's the bad side of it. And when you say thuggish, 755 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: I think that's under playing because the reality of if 756 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 1: it is is he's a killer and just a killer. 757 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: Just just to clarify this, because Donald Trump is acting 758 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: like the deal is done, everything is set and and 759 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: and I've broken rule number one of the Iron Wrap 760 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 1: Coors Stereo podcast because I'm talking about something that's serious 761 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: and it's it's out of my ship talking, uh realm 762 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: of expertise is as of now and I'm asking you 763 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: the deal uh and and the hoopl on the handshaking 764 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: and the meeting, nothing is set in stone, nothing has 765 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: been guaranteed, nothing has been promised. There is no deal, 766 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: There is no promise, There is no d nuking nothing, 767 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,320 Speaker 1: nothing has actually uh been put into action. There is 768 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: no there is no formal sort of agreement. Correct, there's there, 769 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,839 Speaker 1: there's a right now. There is a statement of intention, 770 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: and there's been statements of intention in the past, though, right, 771 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: I mean there's been more than statements of intended. There 772 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 1: have been frameworks for agreements. Unfortunately the North Koreans largely 773 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: welshed on them. I mean it's it's but yes, in 774 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 1: the past there's been a lot more. What they need. 775 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: The hard part of this is getting the North Koreans 776 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: to agree to really intrusive inspections. And that is I 777 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: mean what we we we All we have now is 778 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: that Trump and later Mike Pompeio, who I think has 779 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 1: more credibility on this, in Secretary of State saying that 780 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: the North Koreans understand that Kim understands that he's gonna 781 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: need to allow this, This has to be a verifiable deal. 782 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,319 Speaker 1: But you know, as they say, the devil is so 783 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: in the details, and we don't have any details right now, 784 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: so it's hard to figure out what that is. What's more, 785 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,720 Speaker 1: we don't even have a timeline. So again today breaking 786 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 1: news today, Mike Pompeo told reporters traveling with him South 787 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: Korea that they plan on getting this pretty much done 788 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: in the next two and a half years, which would 789 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 1: be right in time for election. That means in the 790 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: next two and a half years, there's gonna be a process. 791 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 1: But again the Korean the North Korean side knows that, 792 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: so that gives them a little bit of leverage because 793 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 1: they know that they want to get something done by 794 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: that that the Trump administ Trump people want to do 795 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 1: that by that's the goal. So they're gonna try to 796 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 1: play this out. That's how all these negotiations are and 797 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 1: we'll have to see finally when the deal is now. 798 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: I was a critic of Obama's Iran deal, and part 799 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: of the reason I was a critic of it is 800 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 1: that when it when Obama was saying he wanted to 801 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: reach a nuclear deal with they were on he said, 802 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: these are what we're gonna get we want to get 803 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, them to dismand all their entire program. He 804 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: didn't end up getting that. And Obama, you know, I 805 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: think put you know, put more resources into it than Trump. 806 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: The difference, I think is that Trump is crazy enough, um. 807 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: And I can't believe I'm saying he's crazy enough that 808 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: I think that China and North Korea Kim G and 809 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 1: others believe he's crazy enough that if he doesn't get 810 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 1: a deal, he'll start a war, whereas I don't think 811 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: anybody really believed that about Obama. And even though that's 812 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: not a good thing necessarily in the president, because we 813 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 1: don't want to needless war in the context of this 814 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: one thing of a nuclear negotiation like that, that's a 815 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 1: that's an important advantage, all right, Um. That that that 816 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: all makes sense and I appreciate that is What is 817 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: the other thing pending in your head? Since you're the 818 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: official unofficial uh International correspondent slash political correspondent of the 819 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: Iron Wrap por stereo podcast, is there anything else that's 820 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: looming that's aggravating that's concerning to you, Mr Eli Lake, Well, 821 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: one thing is eventually, sooner rather than later, we think 822 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: there will be a report from the Justice Department on 823 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: James Comy's handling of the Hillary Clinton email and if 824 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 1: you remember, we spoke about that on the im Rapp 825 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: Record podcast during election, and it would be interesting to 826 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 1: see what ends up happening with that, because back then 827 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:53,919 Speaker 1: Democrats were, you know, livid with Comy for basically saying 828 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: we're not going to press charges but what she did 829 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,760 Speaker 1: was really bad and then maybe reopening it right towards 830 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: the end. Um. You know, lots of the people who 831 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 1: are on that campaign roll memoirs of talked about that. Well, 832 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: finally we're gonna see a Justice Department report written by 833 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: somebody who was appointed by Obama. So it'll be have 834 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: a lot of credibility, i think with everybody, and it'll 835 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they all come up with. 836 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,760 Speaker 1: And then that will fit into the big thing looming 837 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 1: over the Trump presidency, which is Muller's investigation and whether 838 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: or not um it calls into question some of the 839 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,720 Speaker 1: moves from Mr Comey, the former FBI director in the beginning, 840 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: because you remember, the reason that we have a mother 841 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: investigation is because Trump fired Jim Comey and then acknowledge 842 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 1: that he did it because he was investigating Russia, and 843 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: that's why we have the investigation. So this next report 844 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 1: from the Inspector General will go into basically an important 845 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: question on Comy's character and whether or not Comy is 846 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,799 Speaker 1: a reliable witness in some ways against Trump, and uh 847 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: that will have a lot of I think that has 848 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,399 Speaker 1: a lot of political implications because sooner or later Miller 849 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: is going to come out with his report, or maybe 850 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,480 Speaker 1: Trump will fire him. But whatever happens there, that is 851 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 1: the most important thing I think, uh in terms of 852 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,479 Speaker 1: Trump's presidency. So we should watch that, all right, ELI, 853 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate the insight uh this design wrap por Stereo 854 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: podcast in prime time. I knew I needed to get 855 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: uh some some real information and uh some just some 856 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: some level thinking because you know, one thing that I 857 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 1: could say that I've learned since Donald Trump coined the 858 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 1: phrase fake news, it's all fucking quote unquote fake news. 859 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 1: Foxes bullshit, CNN is bullshit. MSNBC I think is sort 860 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: of in the middle. But at the end of the day, 861 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: you need to take a little bit of uh something 862 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,280 Speaker 1: from all these places and then conjure up your own opinions, 863 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 1: which uh makes me uh have to work a little 864 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: bit more than I'd like to, because I don't think 865 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 1: you could really trust anybody because just like ESPN or Bravo, 866 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 1: it's it's all entertainment. It's like they're there to get ratings, 867 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: to keep people watching, and they'll say whatever the funk 868 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,439 Speaker 1: they need to say, uh, to keep you watching, keep 869 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,799 Speaker 1: you thinking, keep you sort of gravitated towards the TV. 870 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,319 Speaker 1: So uh, that's something that I've learned in the last 871 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 1: year and a half.
