"And you did survive. Yeah. How long is the journey across the frozen Gobi Desert? So we chose the coldest time of the year, 2009 in February. It's like minus 40 degrees. Minus 40 degrees. Yeah, this is the Mongolian desert. So we walked one day. So we started from the Chinese side and then crossing that border to Mongolia. And we caught it the next day in the morning. And some people wander around the desert for seven days and die, and some people never make it, and they get shot by the guards from the Chinese side because it's a shoot to kill order. If you see somebody crossing the border, they require to shoot them right there. So I know somebody who, she made it, but her brother got shot in front of her and she still had to run to survive. So now that nobody's escaping through Mongolia anymore because it's so dangerous. I think I told you that my mother escaped East Germany when it was under Stalin and the Soviets in 1951. She was 17. And it was not quite yet at that point like you're describing, but very soon after, it became that way. Shoot to kill, you'll die. And in 1971, when I was seven, we traveled to East Germany to visit our relatives. And I remember when I was seven years old, looking out the train to see the dogs and the barbed wire and the guns and my mother explaining to me that, yeah, if you try to escape East Germany, they will kill you. We hear about those things, but you live through this. And somehow you made it to Mongolia. So now for the first time, you're actually free. In South Korea, after many months of in Mongolia interrogation, we were sent to South Korea. So that took a while. Took a while. And you get to South Korea. That's a whole other story. Of course, you get to South Korea, you're with your mother. Your mother and eventually your sister, you do discover your sister. Yeah, seven years later, I found her when I was an adult. An adult. So you make your way to South Korea. And long story short, because we talked about this, it's Akhteesan city and it's in your book, but you eventually visit the United States. Yeah. I mean, initially would say, I mean, I just land on a different planet, you know, people's telling me, like, I did not even know what my favorite color was. Yeah, that's one thing I remember. Yeah. Talk about that. Yeah, it's like in for nursing people, we don't even know what critical thinking is. We don't even have the word I. And we go to the country. Oh, I'm sorry. We're out of time. We'll be right back. I'm talking to Yomi Park. Yomi, you were just saying, so here you come to South Korea and they're trying to integrate you in a way into this new life and they're giving you ideas and things that are so foreign to you, like the thought of thinking for yourself. Like when you said, when somebody says, what's your favorite color? You, it never even occurred to you that it was possible to have a favorite color. Yeah, because like in North Korea, just teacher say, we love red color because it's a revolutionary color. We love red because it's revolutionary color. So you really have to, everybody has to love red. The answer was already determined by the party. It wasn't something we were able to choose. So when people say, what do you think? And I was like, why does that matter? Just tell me what you think, what I can do. That was extremely hard thinking for myself. So it took a while for you to develop the muscles to think freely. It's an amazing concept. Well, look, you hear about this, people who have been enslaved, that it takes a long time to be free. It's not just being physically free, but mentally and emotionally. So, but you do visit, at some point you visit the United States to Tyler, Texas. Do my mission work, missionary work. And you, when do you decide, that was just a short trip, but when did you decide to come to United States? I don't remember how this, how it worked. So yeah, it was like the beginning of 2015 to write that first book in New York. So I moved to America in 2015. Okay. To write this book, which is titled In Order to Live, A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom. This is the book that I'm insisting everyone buy and read, please, and pay your kids to read it. So, so now you're in America and what do you think you're going to do? When did it occur to you? Maybe I will try to go to college. So I was already studying criminal justice in South Korean university. I forgot about that. So I was like left one year to graduate for BA. So it was always my father's dream for me to having a college degree. So I always knew that I had to, you know, continue to study. And then I learned that there was a university called Columbia in uptown in New York City. Right, right up the, right up the street over here. So you say, let's see, maybe I can go to Columbia University. Okay. And what did you want to study there? Oh, I was open because I was studying criminal justice in South Korea. So this time I wanted to do something else. And so I explored like several majors. I studied economics sometime and then human rights and political science. So I ended up getting a human rights and political science degree. So this brings up to the subject of your new book, your brand new book, which is called Wild Time Remains, a North Korean defectors search for freedom in America. So when did you realize that something was wrong? Here you come to America, the land of the free, the first place in the world, in the history of the world where people govern themselves and understand this idea of liberty. But in 2016, in Columbia University, you experienced something else. Yeah. So, I mean, the very first day at the orientation before the classes began, I, I was very shocked what was happening in college in America, because it really reminded me of like my North Korean classroom. You know, at some point I was like thinking, did I go back to North Korea? How this is like America? How are we learning this in American classrooms? Because they were telling you how to think. Not just like, not even what to think, right? Like it's, it's a, the narrative of understanding the world is exactly the same narrative. The world is horrible because of greedy capitalism and because of like white men. All the problems that we have. So the, cause we skipped over that in the, in the, in the, in the, you talked about it a little bit when we were at the Socrates and the City conversation, but so the propaganda that is fed to people in North Korea over and over and over and over is all of our problems are caused by the Americans, by capitalism. This is the enemy. Socialism is paradise. So now you go to Columbia University in New York City and you're experiencing the same ideas being pushed at you. Even in orientation, before you even start classes, you're getting these ideas. Pushed. What did you think? It's an amazing thing to try to, I mean, the difference was in North Korea, if we don't believe it, there's a gun next to us and gonna shoot us. In America, I just think these people voluntarily believing it without a gun pointing at them. And in some way they are like believing it a lot more deeper way because I think it's first innovation of the revolutionaries. They are the true believers. By the time when I was in North Korea, we were just forced to believe it. So that passion was way harsher at Columbia. And I was shocked, the same ideology of the equality of outcomes, the equity that destroyed North Korea, where people were so incompetent, nothing works. It's played in America where the solution to every problem is equity, that we need to fix the equality of outcomes. Equity, yeah. Well, listen, I mean, many people understand this. Many people don't understand this. It's an amazing thing that we now live in a country. People, most people in America used to understand this, but since the 1960s, and I know you know this, but the ideas of the greatness of America, the greatness of the free market, the greatness of liberty and free speech, these ideas have been undermined slowly through the decades until now we come to a place where obviously, we have a few generations that have no concept of what actual communism looks like. No concept of the blessings of liberty and any of that kind of stuff. But it's amazing to me just to hear you talk about, here you are, you go to Columbia University to get an education and you are shocked. Yeah. To hear these things. And now I know because, you know, when I read the book, you're not exaggerating. I mean, it seems like you're exaggerating, but no, it was very, very forceful.

"We're talking about that. The new book is Wild Time Remains. But you need to read In Order to Live first because it tells this story much more than we're able to cover here. So so you and your mother are so desperate. You are 14 years old and you're forced into basically the sex trade on cameras. You're given a place to live. You're given food, but you have to perform this work. How long does this go on for you and for your mother? So what is in the book, because when I was writing the book, I relied my memory on my mother's because a lot of times my blood, my memory blocked up, but it prolonged for many months. And in that chat room, we met other defector woman that she somehow knew our contact information to missionaries from South Korea, Christian missionaries. I mean, this is amazing. This is like the story you say you can't make it up. You are in this chat room doing this terrible, terrible work. You're 14 and somehow you get a connection to Christian missionaries from South Korea who, I guess, make it possible for you to find a way out. Right. So she had a contact for this Christian missionaries, but path to going to South Korea from China is like making it is one percent so dangerous arduous journey. Most of them don't make it. OK, you're not you're not exaggerating here. You're saying that this is like a one in 100 chance is a possibility, but this is by no means a good possibility. Yeah, but you're willing to take any chance because the path that we chose is that we don't even have a guide is literally walking across the frozen Gobi Desert, across the Gobi Desert from China into Mongolia. So this is the path that these South Korean missionaries and this is a complicated thing with these missionaries, because in the one on the one hand, obviously, they're doing something good. But it was a little complicated, as you say, in the book, you talk about it, but even they knew that we don't know if we can succeed. Yes, that's where they can come with us. Like other journey, other people go through Thailand, the brokers go with them and they get money from the defect. They charge money, but we didn't pay anybody. So the missionaries could not come with us. I mean, you once you're lost in the Gobi Desert, you don't know how to get out of it. It's a very, very risky thing. And that's why we had to pray. We needed God's mercy to make it. Well, that's what the missionaries told you, because they believe in God. But you I guess on some level, you you you believe this at this point that you're you're praying to God. Of course. I mean, you were every second when you're about to get discovered and every single time they said, don't when you're so frozen, you cannot even think you don't even know of prayer in that kind of terrifying situation. They say, don't just don't even pray. Just think about, you know, just blood is my blood, just blood is my blood to think about that. And they said that will help us. And that's all we did is, you know, just blood is my blood, just blood is my blood. And thinking that that's how we survived.

All these years later there's an amazing way to help the nearly 1 .5 million Vietnam era veterans suffering from the devastation of dementia, half with Alzheimer's. That is why Capital Caring is leading the way in the DMV and nationally to provide free of charge a companion robotic pet to every veteran with dementia. I have seen up close and personal the amazing often immediate transformation in their behavior when handed one of these pets. Veterans and their families have access to many support services but none provide for this low cost and lasting way to bring a smile and daily joy to a dementia stricken veteran. Additionally, since having dementia usually precludes caring for live pets, this is a wonderful solution. Please go to capitalcaring .org slash companion pets. That's capitalcaring .org slash companion pets. Together we can transform many veterans living with dementia from sad and confused and joyful. Everything you need every time you listen. WTOP news.

It appears that Marine Kofi and Susan Cunningham will be the first ever winners of ranked choice voting in Arlington County and ranked choice voting. The candidate with the least votes gets eliminated and then those votes get reallocated to voters for them to choose their second option. That process then repeats until candidates gain 34 % of the votes or there are only two candidates left. The county says it hopes to certify the results by Monday.

"I was fascinated. The amount that was coming out of you and you still standing. No, I had to take to my bed. I was debilitated by the blood loss. It was terrible. And then they were gone. And there they were gone. And so I realised I was on my menopause. I went to see my doctor who said, well, I suggest HRT. I was very nervous about that. So I didn't do it. So I did try and tough it out with, I'm actually being flippant. I didn't go on too many nutty websites. I would go on the NHS or good things like the Mayo Clinic, Healthline, you know, creditable websites that would recommend different herbs, supplements, natural alternatives. And I wanted to try that, but I felt terrible. And what symptoms were you having at that time? A lot of flashes. My poor family had to live with the windows open for four years. They were freezing cold. That's why, you know, the cost of living energy crisis now, they don't notice how cold the house is. They've been used to it. Freezing their nuts. Whoa, why does the back door open again? Shut up. Yeah. So yeah, I had the hot sweats. Oh, vagina as dry as the Gobi Desert. No libido whatsoever. No energy. No, no nothing, you know. Brain fog and things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brain fog and a lot of anxiety and a lot of confidence, all the things that I've been able to ace my whole life. You know, I just suddenly couldn't cope with multitasking. Multitasking women, I couldn't. And then I tried the HRT and the same thing happened. Gigantic boobs, massive weight gain, bad headaches, just whatever's in those drugs doesn't work for me. But now I was fortunate enough to be able to throw a little money at it. And I went to a private guy and he said to me, right, systemic HRT clearly isn't working for you because it's not a one size fits all. You know, some women, they're like, pop a pill and it kind of sorts them out. It wasn't like that for me. So I have a progestogen coil, some arena coil. I won't try and use terminology, but the estrogen was my problem. So he gave me an estrogen patch and he said, now I want you to play with the dose. So he said, cut it up, try a quarter, twice a week, try half, see where you go. And this was a 25 milligram patch then, was it? If you're cutting it up, it must have been the lowest dose patch. Yes, it was. That one's not available to me anymore. So they've just given me a new patch, which is slightly higher. And I have to say, you know, the old knockers, you can actually watch them. If we put time like this on my boobs, you could just watch them grow. Wow. But anyway, so that's called titrating, titrating your dose. That's a medical term. And that was from estrogen dominance. You were told you had too much estrogen. Is that then? Yes, that's what I'm guessing. Yes, that's what I'm assuming. Because talking about brain fog, I could never remember anything anybody says to me. He said estrogen was my problem. I'm sure that's what he said. So I cut up my patch, and for me, a quarter, twice a week. So I change it on a Sunday night, then I change it on a Wednesday. That made me feel great, brought back some vaginal moisture. Estrogen is really important for that. And even if you're not thinking of having a bonk, you don't want to get uncomfortable down there, do you? No, exactly. Just generally. I see your knickers, don't you? Exactly. It's just for your own personal feeling. He prescribed me a testosterone gel, which I rub in my shoulder. So again, that helps with brain fog, a little bit of libido, try and beat me arm wrestling. I dare you to take anybody down there. So for me, managing the doses of those three different hormones is what I needed to do for me. I was lucky enough to be able to just pop an HRT pill and have it sorted out. So that's me. And I went privately, and I was lucky to be able to afford that. But now I can get all those bits on the NHS. So two other things happened to me. I still felt very tired. My hair started coming out. I started really putting weight on around my middle very quickly. And I was just shattered all the time. And a friend of mine who lives in America said, Have you ever had your thyroid tested? And I never had. Because in America, although you have to pay for everything, obviously, if you've got no money, you just line a gutter and die. They are preemptive with what they do. So women of a certain age will get, well, let's test your bone health, let's test your thyroid, all these things that can start to happen and change in your menopause. So I went to my GP, tested my thyroid, and it was low, it was underactive. So I had hypothyroidism. Which the symptoms practically mirror menopause as well, because I've got friends who are in their 30s, who have got underactive thyroids, and they say exactly the same thing. I've got brain fog, I feel exhausted, I'm emotional all the time. It seems to be exactly the same. So you had this at the same time as your menopause. But nobody tested me for that. They didn't test me for that. In fact, my GP who's retired now and she retired early, she wasn't an old fuddy duddy, she just went, It's just your age. Here's a prescription for HRT. Here's a prescription for antidepressants. Next. Honest to God, talk about, you know, supporting your sister. A horrible woman she really was. She was impatient with it all, you know, come on, yeah, 54, what do you think it is? Off you go. So I made her test my thyroid, and she actually apologized to me because she went, Oh, right, okay, I'm really, really sorry. Anyway, let's get you sorted out. But that's what's so interesting as well, isn't it, about GPs. If it's an underactive thyroid, they go, Oh, right, I can tick that box. Brilliant. We know what to do now. We'll put you on this. But menopause, they go, Oh, don't be so silly. Go away. It's just your age. They don't go, Oh, it's just underactive thyroid. Go away. Do they? They go, Oh, sorry. Finally, she apologized to you when she realized she should attest my thyroid. And what I think is when women have blood tests in their menopause, their thyroid should be checked routinely, possibly all your life, you know, but certainly when you get into menopause, it's very common for your thyroid to get a good kicking. And what I did, I thought that was it. You know, I'd always been, this is going to sound really superficial, but I don't care. I'm going to say it anyway. I'd always been effortlessly slim. It wasn't something I had to worry about, you know, and all of a sudden, I'm just watching my waistband expand. I'm going, Oh, that's it, is it? That's the end of my youth and beauty. Goodbye. So anyway, so got on the levothyroxine. And I have to say with probably within a week, I felt better. That is one pill that sorted me out beautifully. Oh, there you go. Yeah, maybe that's what your body really needed. Then you must do your bloods every year and they will tweak your dose. So my dose got tweaked from 75 micrograms of levothyroxine. I'm on 100 a day now. And I pretty much feel like my old self, which is great. But I do still have the metabolism of a diplodocus, which I deeply resent. But hey, you know. Yeah, yeah, swings and roundabouts. There's a lot worse things I could be suffering from. And the other thing I have, dear listener, is bloody osteoporosis as well. Is this something that's in your family or was this do you think brought on by the menopause? My mother had it and apparently it can be hereditary. Although I now wonder whether, because my grandmother had it as well, and you think, oh, it's in our families. And you think, well, actually, if they'd taken HRT with what we now know of the preventative benefits of HRT, maybe they only got osteoporosis. There isn't actually a history in your family. I question myself because I toughed it out for, I would say if I started my menopause buying on 52, I must have been about 57 by the time I decided I couldn't go on. So sometimes I wonder if I gave myself osteoporosis because obviously I'm a lapsed Catholic and we blame ourselves for everything. Oh, so am I, Carol. It's like a guilt for me. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But where I'm deeply grateful is living in the UK. We can sort ourselves out. So I've got the right medicines and right advice for both of those conditions. And I feel fantastic. So the osteoporosis, what are you doing for that? You found that out by accident, having fractured your ankle. Is that right? I had three hairline fractures in my ankle after a trip to doing a little jog. So don't don't don't joke people. Stay away from the sofa and watch Netflix. It's much, much safer. Yeah, so it just wasn't fixing. And six months later, I still could only wear a trainer and you know, so I went to see a very good physio here where I live. And they ultrasounded my ankle and they said, you've got three hairline fractures and you've got bone marrow edema, which meant the bone marrow because I was constantly putting pressure on untreated fractures. The bone marrow is expanding and going black and all sorts of horrible things. And then she said to me, have you ever had a DEXA bone scan? And I said, what's one of those? And she said, well, you know, you're how old was I then? Probably 56 or something. And she said, well, you know, menopausal lady of your age, it's quite common to get osteoporosis if you had a DEXA. Didn't know anything about that. And again, was offered that by the NHS. The system over here for women who are menopause is they wait for you to fall over and break your hip. And then they go, oh, maybe we should look at her bones. Again, in America, they have osteoporosis booths you can walk into in shopping malls that just scan you for your bone density. You just pay, you go in. Yeah, it's just incredible. So this is my bugbear. It's our systems that seem a bit archaic. They should be saying, right, women of a certain age, what's going to flag up the hormone thing, thyroid thing, the bone health, then that's all connected to your menopause, you know. So what I'm doing is this now, I can only speak for myself, because I've done a few lifestyle pieces when I've been promoting things. Remember when I used to be in the NME and Q magazine, now I have to talk about my periods if I want to promote a concert. So I had a record to promote, and I got a PR on board. And they said, okay, well, you know, the people are interested in talking to you these certain magazines, and they want lifestyle issues, you know, women of a certain age, how you rocking and rolling in your 60s and all that kind of thing. And so I mentioned the things that I have to deal with in my day to day life and still pull on some tight black leather leggings and pretend to be a rock chick, you know. And be on stage still, you're still touring. Yeah, and raise a family and all the rest of it. So this PR in the health industry for supplements and new health innovations and stuff, read that and she got in touch with me and she hooked me up with a company called Maradine Live. And they do, it's a huge vibrating plate. So don't get it mixed up with the things you see on the telly with former cricketers jiggling their ankles on this thing. They sit on the sofa. It's a medical device. Like most of these things, the technology came from NASA when they had to work with astronauts that had been up in space for a long time and had to re-densify their bones and get their muscle mass back and stuff like that. So it's all good stuff. And what it does is it generates a cascade of bone growth molecule. So I stand on it for 10 minutes a day. It's like a big bathroom scale. I worked with them for four years. And for four years, they had me under the leading osteoporosis consultant, Professor Reed and Harley Street. And he did my NexoBone scans every 18 months. And he said, if I could put you on the drugs that I'd like to prescribe, I would increase your bone health. But I have to say it hasn't deteriorated and you haven't lost any height. So I'm still the giddy heights of five, three and a half. And I feel very healthy. And it's a drug-free method that works. It's not cheap. The device is about three and a half grand, but it works. The things are there to back it up. I'm telling anybody else what to do. No, no, no. But this is what you've discovered that has helped you. And it's kept your bone density at a state. And also, I haven't lost any height. I do work out a lot. I've always been a gym bunny. And I value that even more now. I've learned that weight-bearing exercise is incredibly important to keep your bones healthy. And so what do you do? Do you do resistance bands or weights? I take resistance bands on tour because they're great to get in your suitcase. I've got a little gym in the garage, nothing fancy. I've got a stationary bike and a treadmill. And then we've got free weights. So we've got one of those weight stations, you know, with those blocks of weights on pulleys. I just sit on that and do stuff. A little bit of running. I don't run much, just enough. When you've got osteoporosis, you need to hop, jump or skip, so bang your bones. So I do all of that. And then I've got my Maradine Live Plate, which I stand on for 10 minutes every day. And I'm fine. And everybody's very happy with me. And I'm also happy to endorse that because, like I say, it was four years before I put my name to the campaign. Well, that's amazing if it's actually working. And as you say, it's a drug-free way of doing it. Obviously, three grand is a lot of money and not everyone's going to be able to do that. But hopefully, things like that might become more readily available. Obviously, you need to talk to your doctor, you need to talk to your consultant, you need to do what's right for you. If Professor Reid had said this isn't working, I'd have been all fit. But when I first got my osteoporosis diagnosis, that sounds like something supercalifragilistic. Califragilistic osteoporosis. Yeah, I took alendronic acid, which is the basic drug that you're prescribed. And what that does is it puts your bone deterioration to stasis. It kind of like freezes it. It doesn't help you even prove it. And I personally, after about three months, had lots of aching in my ankles, my knees, my elbows, anywhere there was a joint was really hurting. I wasn't happy. I came off it. And then I was happy to trial this thing that works for me. All the aching and everything has stopped then, has it now? Yeah. And are you completely symptom free of your menopause? No hot flushes? Yeah, as far as I'm aware, yeah. I've just had COVID for a week, which was a bit similar. The duvet was on again, off again, on again. Yeah, poor you. We're both sounding a bit croaky. But no, pretty much. Yeah, I would say it's probably an ongoing challenge for a lot of women in terms of energy and your libido is, you know, my husband's seven years younger than me, so you have to be mindful of that so he doesn't feel like a sex pest.

China launches new crew for space station, with eye to putting astronauts on moon before 2030
"China has launched its first civilian astronaut to its space station as part of a new three person crew, the shenzhou 16 spacecraft lifted off from a launch center on the edge of the Gobi desert in northwestern China just after 9 30 a.m. local time. The crew will overlap briefly with three now aboard the tiangong station who will then return to earth after completing their 6 month mission. China built its own space station after it was excluded from the International Space Station with the hope of putting astronauts on the moon before the end of the decade. Their exclusion was largely down to U.S. concerns over the Chinese space programs intimate ties with the People's Liberation Army, the military branch of the ruling Communist Party.

"Sometimes you just have to be the most determined. There's always a way to even the playing field. That's right. You can't do it with this, with the body. You can do it with this, with the mind. And to that point, I'd like to just finish. I don't know where the hell it is. I've got freaking 400 sheets here. While you look for that, next week when we record, I'll tell you I'm going to Mongolia in June to do a six -day running race across the Gobi Desert carrying all my own supplies, with the exception of water and a shelter to sleep in. First time I've ever done anything like that. And when someone mentioned it to me, the directors invited me to do it. Only a couple hundred people. I was like, oh, wow, I'm scared to death of that. I don't like camping. I like to stay at a Four Seasons. I'm a big baby when it comes to sleep. I'm very particular with food. I need a certain amount of food when I'm training so much. But it's basically 25 to 30 miles a day, with one 50 -mile day in the six -day race. And like I said, carrying a backpack of 15 to 20 pounds. But I'll give you more details later. Did you find what you were looking for? Please come back. Please come back. No, really, I'm proud of you. We're proud of you, Ken. And my money's on you because of the quiet talents that I just talked about. Not just the loud talents, but please come back. I don't care if the backpack comes back, but please, you. You come back. Here's my thing. Go for it. Keith Sullivan, my great friend, the great attorney who's going to help us put this national commission together along with my son, my daughter, our team, so many good people around us. Fred Sternberg, the great PR man. We're going to call on all the people that care about this sport to be part of this. It's a collective effort. It takes a village. And it will take a village to put this commission together to change the trajectory of this sport where it's going in a bad... I've been going in a bad direction. But anyway, getting back to the... Friday night, Keith Sullivan talked me into talking about this. He said, Teddy, big favorite, Celtics. He likes you. He follows you. He said, I know this is going to upset Ken a little bit. But here's the Celtics, big favorite, playing the underdog Miami. They heat it down. I didn't even know this. They heat it down 15 with under five minutes left. The Celtics turning point, obviously in the whole series, the whole game, five minutes left. And the Celtics, you called his name out before, Williams. He's trash talking Jimmy Butler of the Heat. And Butler smiles. Williams then gets aggressive in his face. He semi -headbutts him. And Jimmy Butler goes on to completely take over the game, scoring 22 from that point as the Celtics lose by six. That was the end, probably the end of the... That was probably it, right there. Even though they had more games last night, what happens? They lose by 26 points less. They got crushed. They're down three to nothing. But that was probably the backbreaker right there. And like I said, Keith brought this to me. And he said, Teddy, I think there's a great lesson to be brought out there. That he said, and he said it best when he said that Jimmy Butler stole Williams' soul. And it's just another reminder and learning moment that whatever your situation or your fight out there in life, when that moment comes, you always have a choice. And I always talk about this, Ken. You always have a choice of how you will behave. You can behave like Williams and lose control. We've all been there, all like Butler. And you seize the moment by staying in the moment, controlling your emotions. I think we could all learn from this, wherever our workplace might be, whether it's in our home, take it at home, outside, going to work. Maybe when somebody, and Ken, I know you've been there, where somebody might cut you off in a car, give you the finger, and all of a sudden, you're thinking about what you're going to do. What you do at that moment, just like what Williams did, just like what he did in a game, what you do at that moment can change your life. And it's also a prelude and a practice to how you're going to handle other such situations. So I just wanted to take that from Keith. As I promised him, I would. He thinks that every once in a while, we can use those type of examples in sports to kind of capsulate and to parallel them with life, with life moments and learn from them. And I believe that you can. I believe that that was a good learning moment. And I'm sure the senior guys on the Celtics had a word with Williams after the game. Like, why poke the bear, dude? Why would you do that? I mean, he doesn't need any motivation. The guy's having like a playoff run we've never seen. He's you can't stop him. I watched the fight. I watched the games every night with the kid. Soon as Butler gets the ball and he takes a turn away fader before he even gets the shot off, I'm like, it's automatic. The guy's automatic. He can't miss when it's crutch, when it's clutch time. And Butler's got the ball. You can't stop him. I mean, when it was Embiid, look at the difference between him and Embiid, who's the MVP. Every time Embiid tried to make a move on Al Horford, they kept running different stunts on him, hitting him with double teams. Then Horford would just D him up strong. Embiid didn't know what to do with it. He didn't

"He asks his twin brother to help him on this quest. And basically, like I said, they go out into the vast Mongolian countryside, which Mongolia is an amazing country that has many different spaces in it, which are very different. It has mountains and snow. It has the Gobi desert. So these two brothers go along with a few other folks from Tibetan India to go search for this reincarnation. And the two brothers also are sort of psychically linked in a way. They are yes. So there's twin brothers and, you know, were they born with a call over their face? Do they have the ability to read each other's minds, share memories? Yeah, that's definitely a part of it as well. So I wanted to just start with the two characters. You've got one who is still very deep in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and is planning to ordain, I believe, is getting to that point. And then the other who was considered sort of a celebrated figure in that tradition, right? He was a reincarnation of a previous master who is left it and is living in more of a modern westernized way. The two of them certainly represent these two ideas or one of them monastic and the other of a modern life person. And for those of us that are on some sort of spiritual journey, I think we have this call and tension between us all the time between going deeper in and pursuing our spiritual path and being more of the world. Do you find that those characters represent different parts of you in a sense? I feel like they represent different parts of exactly what you're talking about, just like the human condition, right? And that whole idea of the spiritual versus the material, right? And so I was very much thinking about them. Going back to our earlier conversation about the parable and the idea of nuance and how things slide in and out, the beginning of the story, they seemingly would appear to be diametrically opposed as far as their objectives and wants out of life, but hopefully by the end of the book, you know, they've gone on a journey, they both come and had self realizations and maybe they realize that they're actually not all that different after all. Fine

"You know, America, we talk about North Korea often, North Korea is a hellhole because the people that are treated worse than animals. The head of the state on is the grandson of the stalinist leader who was installed. By Joseph Stalin, those people are really treated probably worse than any other people in the face of the earth. I can remember their time on the now deceased Secretary of Defense, rumsfeld, once showed to the American people on his computer screen or on a map at night, North Korean South Korea, North Korea was totally black and South Korea was lit up with electricity. Now, you own me park has written an unbelievable book. She's a North Korean defector. And her book is called while time remains a North Korean defector search for freedom in America. It's my bad because I wanted to have her on this program and a month or so. She doesn't know they said, I'd like to have her on my TV show as well. You only how are you? I'm wonderful. Thank you for having me. I'm so honored. It's my honor. Let's take this step by step. Tell us where you were born, how you escaped, and how you came to America. Yeah, so I was born in the northern part of North Korea in 1993, and that's really when the North Korea is greatest famine. And growing up in North Korea really seeing dead bodies on the streets were like seeing trees. People were dying from magnification. And the regime user managed to control the people. Eventually, when I was 13 years old, I grew up surviving North Korea eating grasshoppers, dragonflies and plants. And we couldn't even find that. So I escaped North Korea, and I was 13 years old in 2007 into China. Then what? As soon as I crossed the yalu river into China, the first thing that happened to me was my mother being raped involved me. And then we heard that they were going to set us like livestocks. Because of Chinese one child policy they had, China had like millions of women, they were lacking. Therefore, they were selling North Korean women like me and my mother for as a sex slave to Chinese men. And that's how my mother was so the first $65. And they saw the me for over $200 as a child virgin. So your mom was raped, you were molested too, I guess. Yeah, and then eventually, of course, yeah. Then how did you get out of China? Can you not tell us? Yeah, so I lived there as a fixed slavery of this man for three years. During two years, I was able to find my mother back. And we eventually met missionaries from South Korea. They were risking their lives and investing North Korean women like us. And they told us there was a way out and to be free. And we asked them how do we do that? And they said, we had to go South Korea. And because we didn't have any passports and we were fugitives, they said we had to walk across the first go with deserts in -40°. So I crossed the Gobi desert with my mother and some other people and I was 15 years old in 2009 and that's how I became free. Wow. And you have a warning in this book to the American people. First of all, you came to America where in America, it's all in your book, by the way. You came to America, where in America did you go? I came to America very first time to Tyler Texas to study Bible. But then I had to go back to Korea and the second time when I came to America that was New York City to study at Columbia University. The book, by the way, is while time remains a North Korean defector search for freedom in America. It's a very, very important book. It's on all my social sites right now. You can get it at Amazon.com. I would encourage you to do that. Sooner the better. So you go to Columbia and you go there probably eyes wide open, you're very excited. And what happened in Columbia? Yeah, so I mean, going to Columbia University was beyond what I could ever comprehend. It was beyond dream. I was excited to go to a place where I could have learned how to think. But the first day, very first day I got there. I literally couldn't believe what was happening. So things that professors were teaching us, the indoctrination was actually worse than North Korean classrooms. There were identical things that my North Korean teachers taught me to brainwash me in North Korean classroom, for example, they professors at Columbia towards that. The older problems that we have in the world right now is because of greedy capitalism and because of white men. And the only solution for all these problems is a dismantling American system. The tearing down the constitution and we build a nation, our country in the name of equity equality of outcomes. The same idea that North Korea into what it is today. This is, even though it's not surprising, it's still unconscionable. It's still

But it was a little complicated, as you say in the book, you talk about it. But even they knew that we don't know if we can succeed. Yes, that's what they can come with us. Like other journey, other people go through Thailand, the brokers go with them and they get money from the fact they charge money, but we didn't pay anybody. So the mission could not come with us. Once you lost the gold desert, you don't know how to get out of it. It's a very, very risky thing. And that's why we had to pray. We needed the gods mercy to make it. Well, that's what the missionaries told you because they believe in God. But I guess on some level you believe this at this point that you're praying to God. Of course. You were. Every second when we were about to get discovered and every single time they said, when you're so frozen, you can not even think. You don't even know of prayer in that kind of terrifying situation.

How much injustice have they experienced? They don't know how hard it is to be free, she said. Literally. I literally crossed to the middle of the Gobi Desert to be free. But what I did was nothing. So many people fought harder than me and didn't make it. She said she and her mother fled North Korea in 2000 and seven when she was 13 after crossing into China. Over frozen yellow River. They fell into the hands of human traffickers who sold them into slavery Yomi for less than $300 and her mom for roughly $100. With the help of China of Christian missionaries, the pair managed to flee to Mongolia, walking across the Gobi Desert to eventually find refuge in South Korea. She published her memoir in 2015, called In order to live, where she describes what it took to survive in one of the world's most brutal Dictatorships and her journey to freedom. So now she's in Colombia. And she says she struck but what she thought With anti Western sentiment in the classroom. And the focus on political correctness. She had, she said, quote. Even North Korea. Isn't this nuts? I'm quoting her. Expected that what I that I was paying this fortune all this time and energy to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think. I realized. Wow, This is insane. I thought America was different. But I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying. She told the Post. New York Post. She couldn't believe that she be asked to do this much centering of myself. Quote. I literally crossed the Gobi Desert to be free. And I realized I'm not free America is not free. Going to Columbia. The first thing I learned, she said. Was a term safe space.

I said, I love those books. I thought it was a good thing. Then she said, Do you know these writers had a colonial mindset? They were Racists and bigots and are subconsciously brainwashing. You She said in North Korea's students were constantly informed about the American bastard They always called Americans, American bastards. Quote. I thought North Koreans were the only people who hated Americans. But it turns out there are a lot of people hating this country in this country. Voluntarily. These people are centering each other silencing gene silencing each other. No force behind it. Other times in history. There's a military coup need to like a force coming in and take your right away. But this country is choosing to be silenced, choosing to give their own rights away. North Korea with pretty insane, like the first thing my mom taught me was, don't even whisper. The birds and mice could hear me. She told me. The most dangerous thing I had in my body was my tongue. So I know how dangerous it was to say wrong things in the country. But this is completely nuts. This is unbelievable. I don't know why people are collectively going crazy like this or together at the same time. She said. This is what happens when you are brainwashed. Columbia University, did not respond to the New York Post request. For a comment. This is what's going on in academia and that I mentioned that Colombia is the college that Barack Obama graduated from I was struck, she said. By the Anti American attitude within the country. I'm paying all this money all this time, she said. All this energy to learn how to think, but they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think. I realized Wow, This is insane. I thought America was different. But I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying end of quote.
