- U.S. Army Pvt. Travis King, who crossed the border from South Korea to North Korea in July, is back in U.S. custody after being deported by North Korea Wednesday. A senior U.S. official said King is in good spirits and has already spoken with his mother. King had fled into North Korea on the same day he was supposed to return to the U.S. to face military discipline for an assault conviction. Elizabeth Palmer has more.

He was so annoying that even North Korea kicked him out
Reminds me of Weeds when the cartel kidnaps Celia for ransom and no one wants her back, and she is so annoying that the cartel boss starts begging for someone to take her for free.
They released him to make you Nazis mad and clearly it worked lol
No . He understood the hate that black people receive the last thing he wanted to do was TO make it seem like he hated black people to . CHECK MATE !
😂😂😂
they asked NOTHING in return .... LOL
The fact that he was given back to the US without us needing to give them anything means he was a useless bargaining chip.
Edit: Man, I was even thinking about the Chappelle bit. Holy sh!t, that's funny. I was coming from the fact that they had their hands on a US Soldier that defected, and they just gave him back.
nope its this corrupt admin doesnt want you to know what they gave for him so he was "deported"
@@Jueyes-vg2gb Is that right? What did they give?
Nah, they just respect their immigration laws.
@@HisVirusness You tell me all I know is they didnt give him back for free, if you believe that you are insanely blind.
What did they give N Korea?@@Jueyes-vg2gb
He got fired from being captured. I’m impressed
🤣🤣🤣
💀💀💀
Makes you wonder what they implanted in him
😂😂
Omg you summed it up in a perfect package! 😂😂
When a dude is so valueless that even the North Koreans don’t want him, he’s bad.
US taxpayers money getting wasted on bringing that filth back in the country... NK should've put him him into 35 years of hard labor.
Why did you had to send swiden to negotiate on your behalf?
@@tiktocky8175 They were hoping that they wouldn't try to hard. "Oh no, I guess that the idiot who has spent what little career he's had in the military causing trouble will have to stay in North Korea. Well, no one can say we didn't try."
says a grafted devil
@@danagray9709 could it be shame maybe? America wanted to save face? Because I mean why go through all that trouble of getting him back if he was that bad?
Hahaha you gotta be a real character to get DEPORTED from North Korea lmao
Hahaha
A low ranking military official of any country isn’t worth keeping 😂
@@qbanz00 idk bruh then why they keep all the tourists lol
@@nicholastracy4915 because at least the tourists are innocent Americans… good bargaining chip when the US media will constantly report about it .. puts fear into American citizens as well. Lol
@@jdspears444It's more about status than skin tone. Russia wouldn't give up Brittany Griner unless we gave them something big in return.
He could've gotten out only with a dishonorable discharge but made it worse for himself. Talk about a life-changing decision.
lucky to be alive
Play stupid 🎮 games and win stupid 🏆 prizes 🙄
they didn't want ant negros in there country can you blame them.
He facing assault he was going to prison.
Now he's gonna be a 'hero' among certain group of people, which they will defend and say he's just human and had a mental breakdown that's all and we should forgive and forget....He's gonna do a speech tour, get paid to be on talk shows, write a book that will be turned into a movie, so on and so on. Sadly, it's how our society works, lol
Pretty bad when you're too worthless even for our enemies.
they didn't want ant negros in there country can you blame them.
Dam
racist
@@darthvadeth6290not really.
Why are they your enemy? Don't like Asians do you? They released him to make you Nazis mad and clearly it worked.
WE should have demanded a ransom to TAKE HIM BACK!!
LOL!!! Good one Jason! 😁😁
WHAT does this have to do with the deserting soldier??!@pamelaparis1659
Savage 😂
For real though
Not even a stack
😂
He can see his family through glass in military prison.
Better then nothing.
@@heathermichael3987 No ... I think he's about the same as nothing.
I think he would have been happier if he stayed in North Korea.
@@andrewcarr2416 Just another loser American tax payers are going to have to support.
The one country that’s known for keeping low value people hostage, didn’t even want him, and gave him back without any strings attached 🤣🤦♂️ he has set the bar to its lowest point.
Omg... I couldn’t have said it better.
There was a college kid they beat the crap out of and they didn't even bother with this guy.
No strings attached. I believe it shows how generous and kind KIM JONG EUN is. He really cares about Travis King. And he knows that many Amercians are wating for him. Including his mom
@@OmegaF77 A low ranking black soldier who deserted, the US didn't give a crap what they did to him. The North Koreans knew they couldn't get any mileage out of him. They would have just been stuck with the guy.
@@user-bn5pq7bh5gYeah, so kind and generous to send him back to a country that "treated him wrong"...
Even North Korea doesn't want him. No need for any ransom what so ever. Just take him way! LOL!
Cause he’s black 😂
they didn't want ant negros in there country can you blame them.
@@Staxagrip outta pocket but probably true
@Staxagrip that's not it. Kim Jong Un is friends with a black basketball player from here in the US.. this kid has a list of things he's done, probably couldn't behave well there either, would be my guess.
Didn't that happen on the TV show MASH with one of the characters ?
Bro really thought he was gonna get away with being a traitor
He IS going to get away with it. All you have to do is claim racism if you're black. Get out of jail free card.
Imagine jumping in a dumpster to run from your mistake...and the dumpster spit you back out😂😂
😆
I don’t understand why they gave him back.... we, on the other hand, should have refused his return.
Who are the WE? Couch potato.
Take back your garbage.
He ain't white thats why
Well hes going to prison anyways
it's kinda like "your stray dog got into ma backyard, I am just gonna leave it at yo curb"
See I guess North Korea is smarter than we give them credit for... even they don't want our junk!
he probably cost too much to feed in N Korea.
when he told them what he was entitled to, they just said "get out". they might be smarter than us after all.
Whoa?! That's gotta be a blow to one's ego when North Korea classifies you as useless.
How proud his parents must be ......
.. "he's a good kid that never hurt nobody" 😂
@@IrishBlueBear And don't forget, he's probably a low key Aladdin.
Please don't make comment on parents. I am very sure his parents are going through a lot with their kid.
They probably kicked him out too.
@@binasarmah1486
Then they should have done a better JOB of raising him.
Once someone becomes a parent. Teaching that child to be self-sufficient is their ONLY real job.
So our enemies are happy to give him back, no strings attached? he should be on an FBI watch list for life.
The FBI will make him an agent!
What would they get of him? African genes and American mentality? Lol
@@tigroussibirak8006 African genes are the best possible genes. I remind you that Kim is a big basketball fan and that he recently invited a black basketball player. Lol
Can't have that!@@tigroussibirak8006

Should have left the traitor there forever.
They didn’t want him
LOL
Even THEY didn’t want him😂
no welfare benefits, no food stamps, no EBT program, no free handouts in North Korea. they don't like "Lazy" people there.
they didn't want ant negros in there country can you blame them.
This@@gorenas_garage
I don't feel sorry for him.
He did this to himself.
Jail him, this man is a traitor. He violated his oath of allegiance to the US when he crossed the border and went to Korea.
Well he's not the only one true enough but need to start locking up the whole corrupt system it will be hard but need to make example
i'm not even a diehard patriot or have any type of military background and i whole heartedly agree.
And don’t forget he committed assault too
Traitors stay in jail
As one commenter said. Jong Un should have paid us to take him back 😂
Maybe he can sue North Korea for discriminating against him by not demanding some sort of trade
He needs to be in a prison cell
That's bad when NK don't want you
They smarter than we give em credit.
@@ceasarromero3438 You're right. But that’s not the case for the reasons you think. Lol
Punishments for desertion in the military is:
Dishonorable discharge
Forfeiture of all pay and allowances
Reduction to the lowest enlisted grade
Confinement for five years
Still better then North Korea.
He bailed ....crossed THE LINE
Confinement means what exactly?
That's in time of war.
black people get treated like kids now a days
Pretty bad when the North Koreans don’t want you.
They gave him back to us because he is a joke.
Assault, AWOL, desertion. A few years in Ft. Leavenworth and most likely a dishonorable discharge. Good luck finding work after leaving the can.
back in the day they used to hang deserters/ traitors!
He needs to be in prison for treason.
Do you know of anyone else who should???????
Not worth the money to feed him. Prison is expensive. He needs to go back to the block so nature can take its course.
@@Comm0ut block?
How bad of a F up has his guy got to be for North Korea to say, just take him he’s not worth the hassle ‼️😂🤣😂🤣
It did not take them long to get tired of his sense of entitlement, and asking for things he does not deserve.
North Korea isn't racist....everyone gets equally discriminated against. Only party leaders are entitled. As long as the great leader likes them
@@Dilley_G45
Getting tired of a blacks sense of entitlement isn't racist; it is common sense.
He was probably whining racism over every little thing that they got sick of it.
@frankcollins9299 I wonder if people refer to you as whites.When you talk you include a whole group for ones action every race has people who feel entitled.
@@jtaylor3447 That's about whyte!
This guy is in SO much trouble.
We'll see. This is 2023 America, so don't be surprised by anything that ends up happening or not happening to this clown.
Every time Kim called Washington about a deal to release the black soldier, they would just laugh and hang up the phone.
He’s a coward and a deserter!! Send him to prison for life!!
Not a fair punishment
His I@ was so low, they couldn’t even effectively torture him.
Punishments for desertion in the military is a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction to the lowest enlisted grade & confinement for five years.
He was already being dis-H discharged and set to a military court.He made it so much worse
Well, I imagine MAGA-world would take him. He seems to have all the personality traits to fit right in. He'd be useful as a Blacks4Trump placard holder at rallies behind the Orange DiaperDon.
Not everyone gets five years though, my friend's husband deserted after he hit an officer but eventually turned himself in. The only time he spent in the brig is the time it took to process him out which was about a month.
Racist much? Is that how you see black deserters?@@ridethecurve55
And good luck finding a job it's worse than your average felony
They realized we didn’t want him back and weren’t going to pay any kind of ransom.
He read "Otto Warmbier was here" scribbled on the wall of his jail cell, and immediately wanted to return.
I had to look that one up. I remembered after reading Wiki Trash. He sounds like he was CIA.
North Korea: "He was like this when he got he-"
US: "Yeah, we know. We believe you this time."
He must be “special” that not even North Korea wants him 😂
North Korea gave him back because they want any looting to start happening
😂😂😂 They saw all the videos of the stores being robbed and cars being broken into.
Even the North Korean can’t handle this dude…straight to the brig private
NK: "So we got this dude that came into our country illegally... pay us so we can return him"
US: "Keep him, we don't want him"
NK: "Nah nah nah, we will just keep him until you give us something"
*Time passes*
NK: "Please take him back, we will deliver him free of charge"
US: "Don't care, keep him"
NK: "Please"
US: "Alright, fine"
Should have waited a bit longer before accepting him. And Kim Jong would have been pleading "Ok ok ... I also give you 2 cows and goat along with this punk if you take him back right now".
@@golmatol6537 lmao
@@golmatol6537Should've told Kim Jong Un that we will only take him back if you give up your nuclear arsenal.
I know I was stupid when I was a kid, but I’m almost positive that I wasn’t that stupid. Talk about turning a bad, short military career when you’re 20 into some form of confinement during most of your 20s. Plus, always being known as that guy. When you die, that’s what they are going to talk about during a 15 to 30 second clip.
Turns out he was not "kicked out" he was freed. The whlte man on the other hand was treated harshly because everyone around the world now days knows who the real enemy is...
He should be getting a dishonorable discharge and lose all VA benefits. Full punishment under UCMJ!!!
My speculation... North Korea basically had two choices: 1) Hold onto him as an accused spy in hopes to gain concessions for his release. 2) Raise him up as a hero within North Korea using him as proof of how evil the West is while also gaining military insider knowledge.
The first option was nearly dead on arrival as the world media portrayed Travis as a criminal on the run, and social media citing the well-earned karma Travis was about to receive in a North Korean prison. Virtually no one was going to be heartbroken if he wasn't released.
The second option was possibly more realistic, given Travis was genuinely seeking asylum and was claiming to be a victim of oppression by the West. However, when you consider that all the crimes Travis is guilty of are primarily the result of poor impulse control, this means he was more of a liability than an asset when it came to local politics. This probably took a little longer to figure out, but in the end they concluded he was just dead-weight.
So in a choice between spending money to make him disappear in their prison system, or giving him back to the West who also intended to imprison him, the choice was pretty obvious to return him without conditions.
no one believed his allegations against the west. there;s no systemic racism in USA, we are one of the most tolerant places on earth
N Korea must be racist too😅
NK could have used him in future prisoner exchange program. But they didn't. Strange.
They could've just executed him and be done with it. But, they knew we'd welcome that even more.
They fed him more than 70 days. They are tired of it.
Imagine getting deported by a country that executes an entire family if one of them escapes and is returned to them.
YALL JEALOUS !! honestly they know blacks go through hell
LMAO this is an L out of all L’s
Biden: "You're just gonna give him back to us?"
Kim: "Yeah..."
Biden: "You don't want anything in return?"
Kim: "What can we get for him...really..."
Biden: "Let me see...I got a snack size bag of Funyuns I didn't finish and some loose Tic Tacs in my pocket"
Kim: "We good bro...just take him..."
@Advesaryone, you are hilarious bro..... natural comedian.
this deserves much more likes lol
Kim Jong Un giving back that loser is an act of war! 😂
You have that right
Yeap 😂
Send the nukes
😂😂
That’s gotta be the best example of being TOTALLY USELESS I’ve ever heard of………… No value whatsoever!!
I'm sure his family was worried about him, but they can be mad at HIM. He would have been home SOONER if he'd gotten on the plane like he was supposed to. His family can blame these months of worry on HIM.
F their worry. worthless traitor should be headed to prison.
He probably got his criminal ways and whining from them so they probably were too busy crying racism to worry.
Pvt. King was AWOL for more than 30 days. He's a deserter, not AWOL.
Lock him up and dont let him out
They didn't even want him!
He’s going to get a dishonorable discharge That’s a weight around your neck that never goes away that’s like trying to swim with a 800 pound chain I was in the military I have an honorable discharge. I am so glad I didn’t do anything stupid when I was younger.
Why didn't we leave him there? Now we have to feed and house him for the rest of his life.
Thats what North Korea was thinking. They don't even feed their own citizens imagine being told to feed this piece of work.
Kim's just like " they're not sending us their best and their brightest, folks."
😂😂😂"there" and "fokes" is hilarious! You get a ⭐️🤣😂🤣😂
the best and brightest never run across country borders. they don't have to.
Nice, now he is eligible for court martial 😂
Obama will scream racism and make him a HERO.
He was probability eating too much and they had to get him out of there.
Why? He ran to them. Let'em stay there. I'm not sure I would allow him to re-enter the United States of America without a VERY good explanation.
WELL HE WILL NOW BE LABELED A COWARD AND A TRAITOR FOREVER! HE IS NOT NOR WAS HE EVER DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, OR OPPRESSED! HE JUST DIDNT WANT TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS OWN ACTIONS!
He's got to be dishonorable discharged period
Pretty terrible if even N Korea didn't want him.
If we didn't get any concessions for taking him back, we are terrible negotiators. There are a number of South Koreans being held by North Korea we could have asked to be released in exchange for taking Pvt King back.
he wasn't worth a hand full of rice mold that's why.
Even North Korea didn't want him. 😂
What kind of person do you have to be that not even North Korea wants you?!
Can we send him back?
No, Travis has a second chance at life now
They have problems feeding there own people.Why would they want a illegal emigrant. Who happens to be a deserter.
They do want those if they were of any use. someone such as Edward Snowden is an incredible asset to the enemies of this country. that person would have access or knowledge to all kinds of goodies. however travis king is the low of the low. I don't even know how the recruiter could live with himself for processing him in, he was probably on a tight quota and had to take the asvab for him otherwise king would not have passed.
makes sense. why take in useless people who can't even feed themselves?
Even north korea dont want one
Have they EVER deported anyone 😂? Seriously, I’ve never seen them deport anyone, let alone an American soldier.
North Korean has more deportations than we do apparently.
NO, TAKE HIM BACK, PLEASE.
The only person in history kicked out of North Korea.
This man should give lessons on how to survive North Korea.
wish they kept him.
Sentence him to life in Portland Oregon
Hahaha, your comment wins!
Hey!!!!!
I'm surprised they never beat him half to death before delivering him back home. Thank God he was returned home safely- I never would have thought it would have been so easy going.
Not even North Korea wanted him there.
Something is wrong with this soldier and his personal military life. For Pfc. Travis King to think that North Korea (of all nations) would be helpful To his plight and concerns is disturbing enough. Why Travis thought that flight safer than his upcoming military discipline, is another question entirely.
Maybe he'll move out of the US since we're so inhumane
He's in good spirits? LOL.... not for long, kid.
!!!
He should be sent to Leavenworth for life. Charged with desertion. But with this current administration he will most likely get rewarded.
They tried to make him starting point guard on the Pyongyang Peacocks, but found out he wasn’t good at basketball 😂
😂😂😂
Dammit! I was hoping they were going to keep that piece of garbage!!!!
And he needs to be in jail for rape
He was too degenerate for the North Koreans. They didn't even try to use him as a bargaining chip.
“Terrorists don't take black hostages. They know black people are bad bargaining chips”

Not even North Koreas could take the curse of Ham.
They didn’t want to risk their Walmarts closing down because of his smash and grab propensity

"Federal Prison Here He Comes, Do Dah, Do Dah, Federal Prison Here He Comes Oh Do Dah Day." So glad we caught up with this little rat. Leavenworth will teach him right.
Chill out. He escaped to another country to get out of prison. Many people do that.
I don't know why you are celebrating. You can look at his younger pics and tell he has issues. He should have never been allowed in the military.
He looks like he'll get into plenty of trouble in prison = long stretches of solitary confinement
@@susiedunn542remember when they military lowered the standards quite a bit during Vietnam? I can't recall what they called those soldiers. I bet it'll come up in my RUclips feed again now that I've mentioned it. 😆
@@tabbyreed8925 I know, right! I'm SO glad he's going to be back in Federal custody. He can't weasel out of that. And, federal prison is going to teach him a thing or two. It'll do him good.
Damn that was fast i thought they were going to keep him forever.
Me too. I’m shocked.
China does not "help" people or countries without wanting something in return. We don't know the entire story but we had to give up something major for China to "help".
they own traitor joe. of course this will cost us. of course.

we should have told they "no takses backses". seriously. we have been in a defacto state of war with north Korea sense 1950s. this was a defection to the enemy during a time of was...treason. i believe it still CAN carry the death penalty. not saying that should be the punishment but just putting in prospective how serious this is.
One word: USELESS.
You can run, but, you can't hide! Hahahaha!
I love it. Guy tried to defect but he was so annoying and useless that they didn't want him. 😂😂😂
Wow not even North Korea wanted him.
Spoiler: I served in 2nd Infantry Division, South Korea. This scoundrel was headed to Ft. Leavenworth anyway and decided he didn't want to face military justice. He ran into North Korea and got kicked out like a sack of do do.
A terrible and clearly planned decision to defect to a country i'm pretty sure we're still technically at war with...but for my own sake I believe in redemption, so who knows, maybe he can get a job at Harvard
