Yeonmi Park is a NORTH KOREAN defector and activist, one of the few in the world who successfully fled from North Korea. She tells a heartbreaking, unbelievable story & you should definitely listen to the whole episode. This video does not do her justice, but go ahead and listen to the whole story, your jaw will drop. JRE Episode #1691
She's a known liar. She said in this very podcast that rats were eating the EYES of the people in the hospitals and children would eat the rats and rats would then eat the children lmfao. She's told a million nonsense stories like this. She also claim there is no word for love in North Korea. I mean cmon 😂.. The Grayzone with Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton did a segment about a year ago where this exact lady came up becuase her lying was so outlandishly hilarious. She's an establishment shill. Sorry to burst your bubble.
On another note I think you're kinda putting Joe Rogan on blast by posting clips like this one. You fell for the emotional manipulation noob. Get a grip.
She is an absolutely incredible woman. The things she has overcome, would cripple most people.
The US desperately needs to change their approach and strategy on North Korea. Isolation and sanctions have not only not worked but have also created a regime that has no challengers of any kind in the country. Lift our sanctions and allow them to trade with the world, let businesses get in there and you will improve the lives of all of those people but you will also put in entities capable of challenging the regime.
We need to try something different. As much as the North Korean people are suffering because of their own leadership, the US has caused a hundred times more suffering to them with our policies.
Think Neville Chamberlain vs Adolf. While there is a vast difference between strength and being a lunatic, Mr. Chamberlain was a very soft coward, hitler recognized it and ww2 was off and running.

That has worked _so well _ for the EU, with Russia. (Not!)
My Dad was a strong man. At 5'9", he towered over all 6'3" of me. He never graduated from High School, or went to College. Before he turned 30 years old, he had a wife and 5 children to provide for. We never went hungry, but he did. His clothes got a bit ragged, ours didn't. He worked every day of the week, sometimes two or more shifts. Only once did I really hear him curse his life. Only once, but he saw what it did to us. Saw it in our eyes. I complain too much. I wish I was one twenty part the tithe of my Dad. I'd be ten times the man I am. Still, I may be getting wiser. Nowadays, whatever happens, I think of him. The rest is easy.
You will be in time, you have recognised what you have to be, and you have a great male role model to aspire to, your Dad gave you a good hand of cards, you just have to learn to play it well.
My pa spent five years in a body cast ,us boys had to learn young. Even so he put in over ten hard years welding tanks that you still see all over America. BEER drinking ,fish a d hunt loving, cared for us ,though we all noew the sting of leather ,Sept my baby sis ,he mellowed by then . Stand on and fight for a principle in a heartbeat, with 6 fused vertebrae, 3 caveman back surgeries .. like you I wish I was but a portion of that stature of that man , in every good thing a man should be .
I grew up in Donetsk, Ukraine, my grandfather was 5'6" 130 lb jewish guy. My dad's family is from Nikolaev. When nazis invaded in 1941 and started bombing the city, people tried to flee, there was chaos, thousands of people on the railway station trying to board trains. He stood at the door and said "Until my family is boarded nobody is getting in". And nobody did. I wish I was like him, never knew the guy, he died long before I was born. PS. My mom's father was an officer in Soviet Army, he died near Kiev in 1941, he was 26. RIP grandpas!
Very inspiring. Makes me want to be a better father. Yes, quite complaining!
You had a great father. That’s a real blessing
My wife and I have twin daughters who are 12 (7th grade). Recently in English class they had to do a report on on their hero and they wanted to interview me. Because apparently I'm their hero. I cried when they told me that. They said I was their hero because I sacrificed for them way more than their friends' dads do. I'm crying typing this right now.
Good for you Brother. Your Cleary doing a great job, kids are a byproduct of their environment.
They’re about to hit you up for something. You can be proud of your children even as they’re scheming against you so you’ll buy them something. You should be proud of them BECAUSE they’ve learned to play you like a fiddle. You’ve taught them well.
You go man. Keep at it, beautiful words.
That's beautiful man, instill your sense of duty and fortitude into your daughter's, and I'm sure your family will flourish for many generations to come.
You are doing a good job 👏

@@richardteale8203 Joe does not acknowledge the author nor the book. Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson's philosophy derives from the theories of a 14th century philosopher but they refuse to give him credit. That Philosopher is : Ibn Khaldoun.

The book the 4th turning still getting misquoted 😂
But we all get what he meant :)
@@hurry2011 that guy said Islam had a duty to gain power over all nations. Maybe that's why he's not quite the household name you think he should be
Hard times haven't even begun yet.

Definitely still in the good times part. Even the poor in the west have it better than many places or other times.
Which is what worries me. It means it'll be my kids' and grandkids' problem.

It's the same with countries.

This woman is everything he described, she overcame and survived so much adversity that would have broke the average person.
So some people are superior?
@@Fullyautomagic Well, not everyone pushes themselves to excel, to their limits, or do the right but unpopular things.
So I guess those that do those things *CHOOSE* superiority over mediocrity.
@@Fullyautomagic 50% of people are superior to the other 50% of people. That's literally the fucking definition as its a comparative, relative term.
"So the grass is green?"
Axe yourself
Dylan Some people are superior at one thing, while others are superior at another.
@@austpem literally idk why it’s inappropriate to say some people are superior to others when it’s literally true…
Those who have higher IQ are intellectually superior,
Those who are stronger are physically superior,
Those who are more attractive are aesthetically superior,
It’s just a fact of life tt you have to come to terms with, not throw a hissy fit over
“There are a lot of weak people trying to take control of this country right now.” Boy is that an understatement.
Yup!! The sick alphabet people wanna shove their sick ways onto us
How are they managing to take control if they're weak?
That must make them strong then.
I'm confused.
I believe they try a lot, but all they can get is been controlled for a group os people who use a few of beautiful words to attract and control they.

Underrated comment.

Bruh 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣

My father supported my mom and 3 of us kids on a fireman's salary, and worked the weekends pouring concrete. We never were hungry, or cold. I am old now and look back and realize all that he did for us. He spent a lot of his time when he was home teaching me all kinds of things as he came from a family of teachers. I owe him my life. Sometimes I wish for a heaven where I could run and jump up into his arms
Maybe someday you will.
Society today hates fathers and men thanks to feminism!
you will get your wish.
My dad was a Fireman too.
Hard working doesn't even describe what my dad did for his family.
Regarding heaven, read the gospel of John.
If I had a child who grew up and said this about me...well...we must save the family at all cost. Family is what reinforces our humanity and civilization. God bless you. Your post resonated with me in ways you will never know. Thank you very, very much.
If she whispers yeah one more time bruh ❤️
What are you going to blow a load
Lol ikr Jesus
I was ruthless until I read this comment and laughed
@@aek12 😂
This is what I was thinking!
Better to be a warrior in a garden
Than to be a gardener in a war
@@justchill5628tell that to the people at ukraine and russia, gtfo.
The quote is actually “bad times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times”
Yes, as he misquoted the saying.
he just wanted to make an impact so he changed few words
legend says she started lactating after hearing those words
Ought be changed to people since this is just true for anyone regardless of sex or gender.
@@BlackJacketJones Yeah, in a woke fantasy world (barfing), there is no difference between men and women.
@@BlackJacketJones I think you’re missing the whole point. Currently we’re in “Good Tines” and we have, are surround by and led by Weak Men - this at a time where “Strong and Independant Women” are quite literally everywhere and even more are being manufactured.
If you are 55+ you more than likely grew up struggling, which definitely builds character and makes you a better person. For some reason that generation decided that their kids would never have to struggle like we did. Didn't work did it? All we got was a country of cupcakes. Like Joe said, you don't have to be mean or evil to be responsible and act like a man.
Country of cupcakes 😂
Not only is your age range wrong but your sentences are confusing. If you are 55+ you still have a chance at social security AND you grew up with affordable college and food and housing. The newer generations are screwed.....mostly by the social security you soon will be parasiting on the youth
Nobody’s had it easier than the boomers. You are not the strong men people refer to.
@@kevinhynes6325 Is that so?
@@georgefloydspaceshuttlepro1839 Some people are resonsible enough to not need social security
Bro her voice in the background “yah…yah…wow…mmhmm…yah”
10/10 on all levels
Her "yeah , uhm uhm... yeah " made my _masculinity_ emerge. Hard time 🤤 . 🤣
I must say that my son who is 20 1/2 years old is a bad ass. College football player that doesn't take chit from no one, very smart, driven, great grades, volunteers and the ladies at college like him. He is definitely a warrior in a garden. Very proud of him.
Post some videos of him in action bro! That’s just awesome!✌️
that means you must be soft
@@poopmcgee3826 Dear poop. Not me and he's a bad ass that I am very proud of hence the comment. My wife is the soft one.
You're describing a gay guy
Wait a minute your kid is 20 1/2 WTF ??????
Is she doing ASMR 😂
A Sizable Mature Rack?
Yes, I’d say she has some ASMR going on, yes indeed
Lol
Everything she said is spot on 😂
it's better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.
what a profound message.
Is it though? Someone has to grow the garden
Amen! My grandfather was strength and I love what you said Joe
Best few minutes of a Joe Rogan show I’ve ever seen…
I love that quote. I grew up around a soft dad trying to act hard. Its difficult being a hard man in soft times.
Try being around some that didn't show any emotion. Ever
The problem is “weak” and “strong” people cannot have dialogue. I’m of the belief that we are all one tribe, but to do that, we have to come to an understanding. Joe’s right that there are realities you can’t ignore but if you’re an avoidant toxic positive, it doesn’t help. No amount of “positive communication” is going to make a layoff more pleasant for instance. What we should be talking about is “why did this happen” and “how can this never happen again”
That shirt she has on probably created a lot of hard times as well.
LOL
I tried not to laugh. And I failed.
Nice
legend
Not exactly cerebral humor, but I did laugh!
My Father was a Hard Warrior (W.W.2, Korea & Vietnam [Twice]) and the Soft Times that he provided for his family through his hard work and sacrifice (plus our country's environment) produced Soft Sons.
I always marveled that I could have been the Son of such a Man (Mexican Policeman, Mexican Army, U.S. Army (Master Paratrooper [82nd & 101st Airborne] & Instructor/ Helicopter Mechanic/Pilot & Instructor), 18 Wheel Mechanic + Southern Pacific Railroad Mechanic.).
The Soft Times that followed allowed his sons to grow up soft. (Much to our detriment.)
I realize that Hard Times are coming and to meet them, I am becoming Hard ahead of those times. It is not easy because I have become so soft but I have to. It will go worse for me if I don't. Getting old, especially alone and without family is not for the weak. I have been given the signals and am responding in kind. I care enough about myself to train and get ready for the Struggles Ahead. Covid, the Poor Political Leadership, the Economy, etc. are just the beginning of the New Hard Times. It will get Harder before it gets Easier.
Like a Sword, we.will be Hammered and Tempered to Gain Strength, Resiliency and Flexibility but there will be those who will Crack and Break in the Times to Come.
Her voice and responses are both calming and sultry
Lol someone needs to make compilation
We Never Met, But Those Gestures Has Me Totally In Love With Her.
How about those eyelashes???
Asian women have many talents, too subtle to most western men.
This inspires me every day.
Since the first time I listened to this, I´ve been working hard to become that monster.
"Good times create more surgeries."- That lady right there.
Did she enhance something with surgery? :)
@@TuDawid all the things
Joe’s words are so true, I can’t think of any man softer than Justin Trudeau . And he’s is creating a massive, long lasting period of hard times for Canada.
Could not agree more. I am embarrassed to what Canada has become.
Even his idle, Xi Jinping is disgusted by him.
could someone explain what he did please? I only know he is good looking
@@adekunle4672 before Justin entered politics he was a drama teacher and part time ski instructor. All the requirements for a G7 leader.
@@CP-012 thanks for replying but what does that have to do with anything like how has he ruined Canada and masculinity
Being both sensitive AND strong is not impossible. Sensitive without strength is being a snowflake. Strength without sensitivity is being a bully. We need to be both.
Exactly!
@@juandoza5867 Always balance. Very few people appreciate this, especially when their egos are involved.
Ying and Yang
I think he said this. Be a beast and tame yourself.
I think he said that when he talked about Jordan Peterson. Be a monster but learn to control it.
Her voice is soft times
Hard times for me
What joe said is sooo true…yeah,let’s all be weak together…and what the lady said…”they try not to expose you to reality
My Main issue with the “Weak men create hard times” meme is that is seems like it’s being touted as this never ending cycle which also demonizes good times. Good times are what we live for, so hopefully we can get our shit together, have good times, but also keep strong and prepared for shit to hit the fan.
It's not about demonizing good times. In nature most things happen In cycles, and what is lacking is memory of the bad times and people feeling no need to change a poor course of action.
No good time lasts forever my friend. There is chaos in order, and order in chaos.
hence the whole better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war metaphor. maybe I wasn't listening
@@anibalcalix9190 And no bad time lasts forever, either, my friend.
Dude, you don't get it.
Joe is so spot on and that saying that he opened up with is truth!!
Joe is being soft himself. He supports gay marriage, abortion, and Medicare for all but said to vote republican. He went soft and didn't stand up for his values. He chose to get views and money vs. his convictions.
@@jacobwatson3781 I don’t know if I would categorize him as soft but I would say that he is deluded about the mythical benevolent nanny state
@Keith Pasculli not standing up for your beliefs and chasing money, that's soft and that is Joe's life right now.
@@keithpasculli7465that Legendary quote still pretty much depends on the context situations and circumstances. There are many times that weak man are created because there is a stronger man and the man who use to be strong becomes weak because there is nothing that he can do.
@@SheanWalsh46 No doubt about that
My Father left us ( I was 3) to go abroad and earn.
He provided for all of us, my Mother worked her ass off during that same time.
16 years, in all that time they met for a sum of 3 years (per year they would meet a month sometimes two or a week).
When he came back, he wasnt the same man.
We werent the same either. I went through so much pain in his absence. I wasnt safe.
But i didnt give up. I built myself into a hardhitting monster. My fathers pride isnt me achieving that, but only using that in times of need.
Its been 6 years since he came back, my parents gave ecerything to build this family.
Today I follow in their footsteps. Making sure they are loved, cared for and safe.
My dad and I had issues. He was used to doing everythibg alone (so was i). Thrn ofcourse the huge gap cuz of his absence in my developmental events.
If he was weak, i wouldnt be typing this.
If my mother was weak, i wouldnt be typing this.
If i was weak, i wouldnt be typing this.
Being sensitive, caring, loving isnt a weakness.
Always being a victim in thinking is.
Joe man, I love your show and the perspective the show is putting on events but she is totally owning your soul right now just letting you spew things and softly saying yeeeah on the things you say! Cheers love, excelent acting! Point well crossed Yeomni
I actually knew who that was. Especially when she spoke I recognized her voice. God bless her.
Who is she ?
@@styl3k1fry Yeonmi Park, she escaped from North Korea and has a horrific story of survival.
My dad is far from your typical hardened man in the way we usually imagine one from around the generation of boomer. He is kind, friendly, gets along with everyone and a real softy, they don't write movie dads this good. Yet despite that he was in his own right a strong man, a good masculine figure.
He worked hard and if I cast my mind back to my youth now that I am an adult I can say that he could not have earned very much. The car was a piece of crap, we lived in a small town, he came home in overalls, but man he worked and never complained.
He would come home to a house full of kids from the neighborhood, and instead of complaining that he had a long day and doesn't want kids around, he came outside and played sport with the kids of the block and you would swear nothing was bothering him.
He left work at work and kept his stress to himself. I have said this many times, if I could be half the man he was I would consider myself a success.
It may be that your dad was in a state of mind where he did not see working hard at his job as a drag, but maybe as something to be proud of, despite not earning much, and did not see being greeted by a house full of children as annoying but rather as something that would give him energy instead. My perspective is not much different from yours but maybe his made the whole difference
@@scrapmason3721 I can well imagine there is a whole mindset my dad has thats vastly different from anything I have. I appreciate your perspective, never thought about it this way
We're in the 'good times create weak men' stage of history
and it seems the SJW's are creating bad times
The 1990’s-2010’s were the good times, we are now in the “Weak man produce hard times” phase, teetering on “hard times produce strong men”
The weak men are already here and occupying a lot of high level jobs, universities and making decisions... it's hard times era coming in.
And yet, let's all ban Andrew Tate for trying to change it around... What a world. It's like people WANT to be pussies...
I think we need and demand that that the world goes to shit once more so men can get back to being bad asses again.
Masculinity is saved.
I've always felt that having the ability to be soft does not mean you are weak.
Only if you are consciously being soft because you know you are strong! If you are unconsciously soft/weak that is not good, nor does it represent strength!
@@CH-xr3cx Real strength is ending every sentence with an exclamation mark.
define soft and define kind. They are not the same.
There's a difference between being a standup person, and being a pushover.
Yeonmi's story is so important to hear
A lot of wisdom was just spoken right here
No there wasn’t.
Good interview. I enjoyed what the guest had to say
There's no better way to fight weakness than strength.
Oh I can see reality alright and it’s a lovely sight indeed.
There is strength in unity/family. The world is like a dysfunctional family right now. We can’t overcome our differences so that we can come together=this is weakness.
I think it's got a lot to do with globalist convincing people the globe is their family. Demonizing actual families which is the only true solid foundation of a prosperous and successful society.
But that's the governments plan. Us being united is their biggest fear. It's how they stay in control and what they campaign on. We let them get far too big, way too fast. Somewhere along the line people forgot that they are supposed to serve us, not the other way around.
On Point Joe!!!
nailed! good to hear at this level of diffusion and notoriety, good job Joe
Being a nice person. I've learned that you can never show true appreciation for others when being weak is the only option. True Respect will have to be self-created before being given to others.
Well said Joe!
Poor memory of the past is a real human plague
Going from a depression into a world war created a lot of hard men!
I love her voice ❤
Joe begging her to jump in on the conversation
nice summation of an aspect of the fourth turning
It’s not about looking strong it’s about having a strong mentality
Why can’t we be balanced? Seems like we can’t get out of our own way. You can be gentle while being strong. Powerful while being compassionate. Let’s act according to the challenges…………
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MEN LIKE YOU. PLS KEEP IT UP. I promise you as a woman who understands toxic masculinity and it harm. There are so many who woman that appreciate you. I promise!!!
When did strength and masculinity become a negative? Toxic behavior no matter where it comes from is toxic. Same as compassion. Are we now going to identify this guy as having compassionate masculinity? We used to call that being a gentleman. No need to add all these confusing modifiers.
Nothing in your comment contradicts being a hard man.
Need more video like this --- JUST BEAUTIFULL
I am a USMC and Army vet. I sent this video to my wife and kids.
Exactly...be a beast and learn to control it
A lot of weak people turning confidence into a terrible thing that takes love and respect away from those who do not fit in. Like a giant Mean Girls club.
I don't always agree with JR but I agree here "100%".
JR, you are exactly right. I think that cycle is correct, and where we are in it, unfortunately.
What do teach my boys: "kindness for tomorrow is better than kindness for today."
Amen. Well said.
Soft men become hard men around her.
I hope she doesn't read the comment section

Joe Rogan is a great man.
He's an idiot.
Great man? He is a comedian who has broken many laws by using all the drugs that are illegal. He has never done anything in service of the country. Never served in the military, police, teacher, given back to his community. Dropped out of school to be an actor and jokester and he's passable at both. Given the size of his head, I suspect he's using steroids which are also illegal. He is uneducated and spouts of about topics he know very little about. He is a commentator for modern day gladiators and has an opinion show. Where exactly is the greatness?? Making lots of money doesn't make one great. This is exactly what is wrong with the US. It's a cult of personality and the people who are truly great and do God's work, no one ever hears about....
Yup 100% agree. If u don't learn from history u'll be doomed to repeat it
G-d bless Joe. Happy Thanksgiving.
This woman's femininity is so strong...I love it...her voice is beautiful

Xena
Is there a connection to this podcast, or are just repeatedly hitting the bong?
man this is so spot on
Excellent short clip by Rogan.
We live in times where most are disloyal turncoats
True, but also that means we're at the point where hard times create strong men. Just like fight club it is our duty to become strong and bad responsibility of our country and our people around us. Let's get it!
In fight club, in the end the male only group blew up modern female civilization. In the comments here, unfortunately there are only simps eager to be pets to women, and to go shopping at ikea at her whim, carrying her shopping bags saying yes dear. Strong men dont live for female validation, and dont "work" as youtube talking heads. There are no fight club men here.
The hard times have no really begun yet. We're just at the threshold. Food scarcity is coming. Economic turmoil is coming. Many industries are falling by the wayside. The way we use and distribute energy is in upheaval. Strap yourself in.
Not even close, we are on “weak men create hard times”. Bad times were during both world wars and Great Depression and Spanish flu. And survivors from those times were the strong men. Strong men created good times for Baby boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z. We aren’t in hard times yet.
You got this right on!!! thumbs up
AMEN...Brother....AMEN!!!
No soft times around this waifu
You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you’re capable of great violence, if you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless : -Sun Tzu- son goku
This is the truth.
Truth.
Is this real?
She's an authentic North Korean escapee survivor.
I really like and agree what Joe says here, people should listen really close to what he is saying.
I love this interview, especially the parts where joe let her speak
🤣
I always say be kind but always stand your ground & take no shit from anyone!
The problem is with being kind is to many people will take your kindness for weakness unfortunately.
well said
I agree you cannot be weak
This summer I had to stand up for myself after my predatory corporate psychopath manager tried to run me over with outright aggression within a month of me starting - submitted my resignation notice and reported him to HR. After that he only tried passive aggression and snake-in-the grass dirty tricks until my last day.
this was by far the most compelling podcast i’ve heard. this clip isn’t a good example though because it’s more joe than yeonmi
Who is she and what is she known for, and why was she on the Podcast? Thanks

Strong men are not afraid to be weak.
What a beautiful voice.
Joe is right i used to be weak skinny kid until i did martial arts and that gave me confidence and i was not a loser anymore.
You were never a loser, that was just your perception and how assholes were labeling you.
Stephen Hawking was weak and skinny but he certainly was not a loser. Dude was pulling all the bitches at the physics meets (just for clarification, no girls attended)
How the fuck did joe get a legit anime character on his podcast?
Good saying
It makes sense
Definitely, We need to see how we can make our day more difficult and complicated all while completing tasks by the end of the day and not trying to make our lives more “Convenient”.👍
There are round holes and square holes, need many different kinda of pegs. The bottom dog in a pack is the first to sound the alarm. A world of alpha males would be sheer hell. Like permanent high school. I agree a military is deyond necessary for sovereignty and I also understand we need introverted nerds to design the tanks.
Slightly misquoted. Hard times make strong men, strong men create good times, good times make weak men, and weak men create hard times.
The quote at the start is from Ibn Khaldun, from his book Al Muqaddimah, and the context is that he's explaining the lifecycle of empires.
It seems that joe is butthurt that his empire is failing
Excellent points Joe made.👍
