White House: Russia looks to purchase more attack drones from Iran after depleting stockpile
"The White House says Russia is looking to get more advanced firepower from Iran for use in Ukraine. The National Security Council's John Kirby says Tehran's provided Moscow with more than 401 way attack drones since August. Russia has expended most of these UAVs using them to target Ukrainian critical infrastructure. And now it wants more. Russia is interested in more advanced versions of those UAVs, more capable and more lethal. The revelation is part of what the administration bills as a growing military relationship between Iran and Russia, which it says also relies on North Korea for arms. Tehran says it provided drones to Moscow before the Ukraine invasion, but not since Sagar Meghani, Washington.

The Downfall of Vice Media
"Can you explain the downfall of vice news? Any thoughts there? Yeah, so it's just been announced today that vice news is actually going to be bought by George Soros. George Soros of all people is purchasing that's right, vice media. Post millennial dot com is reporting. Bankrupt vice media to be acquired by Soros and fortress investment groups. And so I'll refund this through just a second. We're seeing BuzzFeed news go down. We're seeing a lot of these left wing groups start to implode. We're seeing media changes we know it. But I think one of the most interesting parts of the vice story is vice used to be a legitimately interesting news organization. I remember I first became aware of vice with some of their incredibly effective and boundary pushing Gritty YouTube videos that were kind of pseudo documentaries. They were honest. I remember a couple they, in fact, one of the most powerful pieces of film I have ever seen on North Korea was produced by vice news, vice news embedded a camera and they went into North Korea. Vice news, I remember went down to South America and exposed the drug cartels. It's pretty amazing. And they wouldn't do that now. So if I started as very Gritty, boundary pushing, honest, and at one time, vice news had a valuation between four to $5 billion. I remember vice did documentaries about African cannibal warlords. It was just like the strangest, but honest stories. That you could imagine, they didn't just cover it. They went right into it. Anyway, that's when I first became aware of vice news. It was like 2012, 2013. Very big on YouTube Internet culture at the time. And I remember telling our team wasn't a very big team at the time at turning point, like, wow, they're going to go somewhere and they certainly looked like at four or $5 billion were raised.

Foreign companies in China face growing scrutiny, pressure
"Foreign companies are under growing pressure in China as that government tightens control. China's anti corruption and security investigations are clashing with the ruling party's effort to lure foreign investment back after the end of anti virus control measures.

How the U.S. Became the "World's Policemen" With Michael Wilkerson
"This thing called Pearl Harbor, which some people say that FDR knew this was happening, and he thought something like that would be needed to wake up Americans that we have to fight, which is a very, very cynical thing if that's true. Nonetheless, we got involved obviously late and reluctantly in World War II. And then they carries on as you were just saying into the Cold War where we are inevitably involved everywhere around the world. Because suddenly we're powerful and we are now, you know, we all anybody who remembers Vietnam. You know, the domino theory. We've got to stand up for democracy. If we don't stand up for democracy, I mean, it starts in Korea. So I guess the picture you're painting is that we became more and more kind of the world's policemen, more and more involved where we wouldn't have been decades before. Absolutely right. And after World War II, Europe was bankrupt. The U.S. was the only remaining power that could rebuild Europe and took on this role. And of course, in the conflict with the Soviet Union and the Cold War, was focused on creating a world order where American values were translated around the world, defending those values.

But oh my gosh, Todd, 4.8 trillion in savings, it stops the 87,000 IRS agents that caps government growth to 1% of a year from for the next ten years. There's all sorts of good stuff in this bill, but more than that, it finally compels Biden to come to the table. He's got to come out of the basement in The White House and actually engage us. And you just can't ignore us after we pass this bill, it will force him to come and negotiate with us, which is what he should have been doing two months ago.

Economist Peter St. Onge Talks About the Fate of the Dollar
"Peter, let's talk a little bit about the dollar as a global reserve currency. I mean, all of us in this country, we use dollars. We have pretty much all our savings and wealth in dollars. Should we be worried? And what's happening to the dollar on the global market? Yeah, the dollar was given this really dominant position over the entire world economy coming out of World War II, right? The rest of the world was completely obliterated. The U.S. had, I think a majority of world GDP at that point, the U.S. basically was the world. And ever since that moment, 1944, the U.S. has been losing very gradually, but it's been losing share, little by little. And this is partly because other countries have grown. So Europe, Japan, places like Korea, China, of course. And what's happened in the past couple of years is that that has really accelerated. And what's driving it particularly last year was a bit shocking how quickly the U.S. started losing ground. So there's an economist former Morgan guy Steven Jen and he did the math. Once you control for the price of the dollar, the dollar lost 8% of its share of global reserves. So that brings the dollar down to 47%, 8% in a year is shocking. That is a very, it's really a flight from the dollar. And what's driving that, of course, we have the inflation and that makes people nervous about a dollar being a good store of their wealth. But pretty much everybody else in the world also has inflation, even Japan ramped up inflation, Europe, of course, most of the world ramped it up in order to buy these COVID lockdowns. we're merely one of the gang at that point. What's really driven this wholesale flight from the dollar is the sanctions on Russia.

And as you wrote in one of your papers, the U.S. seems to have sort of underestimated their cyber capabilities, maybe because of that. How did they get so good at hacking? I still think that China and Russia tend to dominate the cybersecurity field because their attacks tend to focus on espionage, ceiling information, sealing government secrets, military secrets in terms of the U.S., whereas we're looking internationally, North Korea presents a major threat in the cyber realta South Korea because they target their banks just as much as they're targeting the government. Jason says, one way North Korea got so good at hacking is by drilling its people over and over again for years. And then, by training them to look for human weakness. Essentially, tricking people through socials so that can be emails, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, where they pretend to be someone that they're not. They have some type of infected link or file that they trick you to download. And even if a company has a hundred very cyber hygienic employees and if 99% of them don't click on a bad link, but one does, then that's it. It can be compromised and only takes one person. So North Korea successful at this because they rely on human error. And the majority of North Korean cyberattacks and cyber intrusions that we're able to track shows that they use social engineering as their main way of getting into the targeted network. That's something Jason saw when he analyzed three big hacks on cryptocurrency exchanges over the past few years. Exchanges are the central platforms where people buy and sell cryptocurrency. That makes them an appealing target for hackers. So the majority of these attacks started with a phishing email. We did see an increase in our sophistication. We saw one email where they didn't just create a very legitimate looking signature, but they also created a fake website and fake social media accounts for the people that were allegedly working at that company. Even if you were to do your due diligence and try to Google them or Facebook stock them, they would come up as seemingly legitimate people. Something else that we saw within the actual laundering. So after the hack, is that North Korea seemed to focus more on speed than modification. And by application, I mean, hiding their tracks. So typically, when a hacker wants to steal money, they never want to be found. So they use many different techniques to hide their addresses or the origin of where the funds are going. There's many different techniques and tactics they could use to make it hard to figure out who is who when did this happen, how does this happen where is it going? North Korea seems to put just enough energy and resources into having that hidden trail long enough for the money today and go into their hands or go into a jurisdiction that maybe doesn't comply by general or standard legal laws in terms of laundering. And then they don't really care about attribution afterwards because even if we find out it's North Korea weeks later, it's weeks, it's weeks later. So the money is gone. Whether it's all of the 600 million, we don't know, but it's gone. And for a country like North Korea, even a small amount of that is beneficial. And something else about that is with the attribution factor is that even if we're able to prove its North Korea at an early time, chances are, we're not going to be able to ever charge them. There has been very limited cases of the U.S. or other countries being able to extradite North Korean hackers of criminals to charge them for their crimes. I want to break this down as accessible language as possible because I think it's confusing to people who confusing to me and I have some familiarity with crypto. When you hack a cryptocurrency exchange, what exactly are you doing and how are they getting the money? Because people tend to hold their crypto in a so called crypto wallet, right? That tells them how much they've got. So what the heck are going after? So that's a very important distinction. They're not hacking cryptocurrency itself. I think there's a lot of language in people talk about crypto hacks and they're hacking crypto. They're not necessarily hacking cryptocurrency itself. It's the exchange, especially in the case of North Korea. And this tends to be through email phishing campaigns. And what these malware is that North Korea puts out tends to be our Trojan or these kind of backdoor viruses that then allow them to take control of a device or a network system. And when they do that, then they can go in and they can find the private keys that can give them access to these crypto wallets. And then that's how the naked steal the funds from there. So they're mainly targeting the cryptocurrency exchange, not the individuals. Because if you target the individual, then you only have access to that person's, if you have the keys, then you only have access to that person's wallet, not someone else's. But if you target the exchange as a whole, and you're able to compromise and take control of the entire network, and if you're able to get the keys, then.

That's Jason Bartlett. He's an expert in international sanctions policy. Among other things, he studies North Korea. So he was the perfect person to help understand this statement from the Treasury Department from early May. It says they sanctioned virtual currency mixer blender. Which is used by the democratic people's republic of Korea, AKA North Korea. To support its malicious cyber activities and money laundering of stolen virtual currency. I wonder, as an expert on all of this, if you could put that into plain English for me, what does that mean? It was a very significant measure by treasury because it was the first ever designation of a cryptocurrency mixer. And why that matters is that for the past year and a half, the Biden administration has really tried to wrap its head around cryptocurrency and how it is potentially used to finance bad activity. And if you use crypto to finance shady things like terrorism or nuclear weapons, you don't want a digital trail. And that's where our mixer comes in. Think of it as a technology where you put in one kind of crypto. And another kind comes out. So some mixers have different functions, some allow you to put in Bitcoin. It can come out of Ethereum. Or other times they allow you to switch around the addresses. So it's really hard to tell who is putting the crypto when, where and why, and how it's coming out. If that sounds to you, like a great way to launder money, you're not alone. North Korea thinks so too. Unfortunately, usually by the time that law enforcement is able to attribute a hack to North Korea, the hack already happened either a couple of days or a couple of weeks ago, even a couple months ago. So it's very hard to try to try to get that money back, really find out where it went. Sanctioning a mixer, Jason says, is a signal that the U.S. may finally be upping its game against North Korea's hacking army. Today on the show, how North Korea got so good a crypto hacking,.

"And sometimes you just have to go with your gut. So I have a sad feeling about that, but it's a memory that maybe I'll come back sometime and visit the venue. Here we have to definitely take you back to Korea. Now, can you share Patrice one of your special memories of Korea? I have many special memories, but one such memory was in jeju island. And I'm not sure if you got to experience jeju island. No, I didn't. I wish I did. I know it's all my gosh. So jeju island is the largest island in the nation. And it's a very popular tourist destination among Koreans and foreigners. It's Paradise and the perfect place for nature lovers. Pristine beaches, breathtaking, waterfalls. And a lot of people would not know this, but there are several waterfalls in jeju island. It's great for outdoor enthusiasts and there is so much to do and see. Is that where they have lava tubes? I've heard about those. Yes, that's correct. Tell us about that. Oh my gosh. So the cave in Korea is one of the attractions in jeju island. That is. It's actually a world UNESCO heritage site. So you can go and experience the stalagmites and stalactites. And then the I could go on and on in terms of the hiking experiences throughout jeju island. But one of my memories special memories of jeju island is the henio, which is the sea woman and they catch seafood for a living with only a knife while holding their breath. Some pretty much 80 years plus and they free dive down to 30 feet from minutes depending on their experience. And you can still see some of these we call them C mermaids at work and learn about their history and culture in the hernia museum on jeju island. For me, this was one of the most memorable experiences in Korea. It sounds wonderful. I will have to definitely go back to that that reminds me of the pearl divers, Japan, you know, there are other women who do this. It's amazing. How long do you think they can go under the water? I am not too sure how long, but I know when I was there, I pretty much experienced one over ten minutes. Well, that sounds fantastic. Thank you so much.

"And you can enjoy some of the best freshest seafood here in the world. Lobster, swim fish, you name it. Any seafood, you can think of. So I know when I went there, I noticed a village that was on the cliff, and it came down to the sea. It kind of reminded me of Santorini in Greece. That's very lovely to walk. Is the name of that game? Cultural village. And that was another one. A gem in Busan. And that's a tiered residential community built up the side of the mountain and Lea you're right. It's a work of art with astonishing colors and views. Tell me about jeonju, the historic. Okay, young Jew is the smallest city near Busan, but a definite highlight. Especially for those interested in Korean ancient history, the art and the architecture. This is where my favorite UNESCO site is the blue book's temple. Tell us about it. Okay, so this is where my favorite UNESCO site will cook the template is located. It's also where travelers come and visit some of the moon's ancient royal burial tools. Interesting. How far back do they go? Do you know? Way back. Yes, yes. Okay, so if you want to get out to a national park as a Yosemite of Korea, Korea's first national park, it has over 1500 animal species over a thousand kinds of plants, and I remember those two Buddhist temples inside the park. One is the temple of a hundred pools because there are ponds all around it. And then a cable car will take you up the mountain. It's about four hours from Seoul by bus or three hours by car. It's really a beautiful outside setting. And I highly recommend it. Let's go to the DMZ. Everybody knows about that. It's a demilitarized zone, the border between North and South Korea. It's heavily guarded and the area is about four kilometers wide. The closest town is panmunjom. I can talk about it because I was there, so I could just tell them, we would talk about in the north, we see a boundaries with North Korea, which is separated by the military zone. So I went to the DMZ. It's not a long drive from downtown soul. And they have tours and they take you around to a gift shop and a conference room, which straddles the military demarcation line. And then there are tunnels underneath where you can visit. And you can step over the border into North Korea inside a room called the cross border room. So it was very interesting, but what was most interesting to me was while we were there and we were in the bus and we were going to one of the sites, people came into the bus very quickly and said you've got to leave. You must leave right now. But it is something that I recommend if you like history because you do feel the history of the Korean War and feel how close the two countries the two areas are to each other. Patrice, what are some Korean foods to be sure to eat? Oh, I could list a whole lot of Korean food because the food in South Korea is so incredible and unique..

"Four observation texts. One of which has a rotating restaurant. Is that namsan park there, which you can hike? It was very surprising because in the middle of this very modern metropolis is a miles and miles of hiking trails. And this gorgeous, again, a view of the area. It was quite a surprise to go there. That's correct. Yes. Let me just ask you a little bit more about the palaces, which you mentioned in the beginning. There are 5 of them. The changing of the guard, tell me about that, which where is that in regard to? That's that one is palace, which is considered the largest palace of all. There are certain times of the week when you can go and visit the palace and experience the changing of the guards. And this is this is one of the experiences that you should not miss. We were at a hotel that overlooked it. And so we could see it from above, and it was quite something from that angle as well. But again, it's something many people don't realize that if you time it right, you can not only go to the palaces and go to the gardens and the most beautiful old buildings and there's a museum and all kinds of wonderful history. And then you can see a changing of the guard as well. It's quite a nice afternoon to spend in Seoul. Yes. And I always say that Leah, where else can you leave your hotel and step right into a palace? Well, not bad. Not bad at all. Now let me ask you, soul is the hub of Korea, but tell us about some of the places we should visit further outside the capitol. Well, definitely Busan, Busan is the largest sports city and is home of let's say a majestic mountains, white sand beaches, including Hyundai and guangxi beach. And not to show, you know, many people know this, but the beaches in Busan are amazing..

And of course, as the DMZ, no man's land, part of a military border between North and South Korea. Countries, technically still at war. But we'll just refer to South Korea where people can visit. As Korea, the Korean Peninsula is an East Asia, and the southern half is generally green, Hillary countryside dotted with cherry trees and centuries old Buddhist temples, plus coastal fishing villages, subtropical islands and high-tech cities, such as soul, the capital.

"The grandfather of kim jong un the current leader. Yes kim il sung is the is a god-like figure a kim. Il-sung is the leader of north korea. Which means that technically speaking. He is considered still the leader of north korea despite his death. There's your three generational rule there Yes and it's interesting. You say that we'll we'll see how that shakes out later. A kim il-sung is referred to as the great leader. The country's eternal president His birthday as a holiday. It's called the day of the son. He ruled north korea of for forty six years from nineteen forty eight until he passed away in nineteen ninety four During the time leading up to is passed away his son. Kim jong il who most of us will probably remember better He took leadership and it was during his rule that the country encountered some of those very tense difficult times including The famine known as the arduous march and nuclear standoffs But we have a new leader now and that is One of his sons. Right now. Kim jong hoon. He was selected by kim jong il over his other two others. That's i mean. Hey props man right yeah he. He is interesting because he has a He has a european schooling so he is someone who has been raised outside of the country. And i believe he went to school in switzerland. He is not necessarily the he he is not necessarily the air heir-apparent in the way with think these things normally go. He's not eldest son. No there were issues. Let's say with two the other candidates that would have been before him right. Yes so there. Are two other candidates. Was kim jong nam and kim jong tool And i'm mispronouncing i apologize. I don't speak korean very well. But the The brothers were the brothers who didn't make it Were passed over because one of them was caught trying to go to tokyo. Disneyland in two thousand. One and there was a huge embarrassment. One of the others was seen as effeminate by their father So here we are with kim jong hoon as The leader of the dprk or at least the face of it. And that's that's the important thing right. Despite the appearance of an absolute monarchy right The private version seems a little bit different. There are a lot of high raking senior officials that date back or did date back all the way to the days of kimmel song and seniority being so important in this society their words carry weight. Oh yeah and it's i feel like the system is kind of similar to hire advisers that let's say. The president listened to on a daily basis to make a high level decisions even if they're repeatedly wrong. Oh yeah but it's you know you you kind of have to go with the person that probably knows best right yeah And another another weird thing here So the stated aim of north korea is reunification. It's something that both create want in principle right and The problem there is that the the problem there is that the there's just a battle of population that occurs because both both want. The peninsula reunified in some manner or way because there were families that were split apart by this divisions thirty eighth parallel division But you know both countries wanna be in the driver's seat right and then when you look at the population you you mentioned that. The republic of korea has almost twice as many almost twice as many people So we would seem as though if you were just looking from that aspect alone you. They would kind of absorb north korea. Or at least that's the way it seems. And i'm pretty certain north korea wouldn't want that right We we are going to look at some of the questions about that too toward toward the end here now met you watched the interview right. I did yeah. I watched the interview to it. Wasn't it wasn't my favorite thing. I felt like you know what's what's the point where satire just becomes kind of racism. But i i'm a big fan of seth rogan James franco. I think they're funny guys. the guy who played kim jong un is is a really funny. Do but you have to wonder how much of that is again like propaganda but there was a great point interview Where they say that there is a false impression that this nation strives to give visitors and the outside world. Oh yeah the. I'm thinking of the scene in particular. Where james franco's character goes and finds that little food store in. It's just all fake food and it's all props essentially setups for him and other outsiders to think that there is plentiful food in the area yet. There's a great Read it ama from a north From a photographer who's traveling to north korea. Pretty often until he started being refused entry for taking photos. You shouldn't take and he said that There are few there's like two supermarkets and killing young or something but the only people really Shop at those are the elite of. We know that there is propaganda. Work in north korea. And you know it's its own industry as well so it's difficult to understand how much of what the government says is true how to parse the truth between the statements. But there's another point this makes us think of well. Yeah it's not just propaganda coming out of north korea of about how great it is. There's also a ton of propaganda aimed at you about how bad north korea is an all these terrible things and how everyone there is starving though there is some truth to it. A lot of this stuff are just exaggerations to kind of shape your view of the country as a whole right. There's a lot of an echo chamber going on a and nowhere was this more apparent then In the recent interview related news.

This privilege is not us. Nothing is about us being special here right. The system that we have is pressure and north korea proves it to us.

"Capitalistic american. Way you can still at the same time Not feel too bad about yourself and still focus on the the suffering in the world. And i think there's some way that in trying to build a better world in america it has ripple effects elsewhere. Sir like somma fan of rockets in space. It's it sounds perhaps counterintuitive but sending rockets space will help solve the north korea A a problem because it lets people dream and build cool stuff. It's not the rocket is the other people that like are inspired by the rocket. And then look to other problems in the woman. Mean that's what he did is like he saw problems in the world and saw like. What can i do to help it. And i think the north korea one is a tough one though. Because that's ultimately has to do with revolutionizing government with china that china. That's what it takes can you. China's comments part is impossible. That's why we couldn't solve north care for that. Medicaid is china for knowledge. china is china. It's so it's a russia. It's certain aspects of the united states and struggling with that. The one of the you know there's a bunch of technologies that are striving at this For example I don't know what your thoughts about cryptocurrencies. So like there's a idea that money could be a way to destroy or to challenge the the power centers of the world. So if you give if you take away the power from fiat currency and give it to this thing. That can't be controlled by government this cryptocurrency whereas bitcoin theme all those kinds of things. That's the way to get money into the hands of people to where the government can't take that money away but nour's done have alleged city. You know internet so we can do that with china. We can do it. A lot of african dictatorship countries right. Do think be cryptocurrency. Search fascinating technology right. I think this is amazing. Experiment when that power in our hands.

I can't give him more beneficial. Thought he was a insured triplet of communism but then as later he gained power. He realizing i think i suspect they had thought most people are dumb. My individuals tom. So therefore i need to make a decision for all of you. That pure arrogance came from of even that i can tolerate. Okay fine and kim jong air who never like yeah fine. He grew up in the system to but kim dolan is very unique. This guy was educated. In switzerland in the heart of democracy he knew how human beings this should be treated as a child. He went when your child. Your brain is very susceptible but you change anybody like why the mall was solved as a changing young people's minds like that's every revolutionary. They do right.

And it's really important for north korea but just keep talking about it until there's until hopefully leads to at the highest levels of power re revolutionizing the systems in the world and then In china and north korea do you see not career being a potential instigator of a nuclear war. They were not starting curry war as long as they can do. Whatever they want right now. North korea's army not designed to fight the enemy did design to prevent their own people could the and the revolution with their own citizens. That is one point. Six million north korea with a tiny country the forest largest armies in the world so this country designed to five their own citizens and the army the fourth largest in the world is designed to basically fight its own people oppressor on people. That's what north korea mattress is about. Okay let me As you some aspects about north korea life who can described the song bond system of ascribed status used in north korea. Yeah so that's a very interesting right right now. There are a lot of people playing this ideology of like democratic socialism. Socialism comments water recall marxism-leninism. Ray they have all like this similar features where we give collective power to certain entity and they make the decision for the bigger right and north korea came. We'd idea the cumulus song he was the leninist marxist say i'm going to create the most equal society on human face so it was a communist north korea and then they came up with his homework. Winds is like family casas them. Three categories warrior wavering. An hostile and that in building three classes they divide into fifteen different classes so a lot.

I think humans are capable of anything. There is no exception. I don't think there's any saying to bomb with the morality at think in north korea. You can say initially that there's few guys in the top wanted the power and then doing this but eventually made a society where people don't even know compassionate we don't know the concept of we don't know the unit to feel bad for another human being in their suffering the fact that you know compassion is in your knowledge.

And like it's almost like brings you closer to other humans so it's this double edged sword that That the highest joys sometimes are catalyzed by suffering. And it's hard to know what to do with that. You see that was world war. Two the stories of soldiers that have suffered but some of the closest bonds of brotherhood of just pure love was experienced by them.

Would you think about love now. The kind of discovered it was the role of love in life. Why was it. So why do you think was forbidden. North korea so tragic thing banners career not only just banning shakespeare like. We don't even know. Julia is right.

That is denied. So i mean many people say like love is auction but like then why do you live. Thank you relived love. And it doesn't have to be romantic love. It can be anything but finding love and it in any person in any subject. I think that's a goal. I think that's when people find meaning in something yet. We'll of romantic. Love is just one sort of of it. One echo of the some corps thing yes science science of robots all of those things..
