Summary
Yeonmi Park fled starvation and slavery in Communist North Korea, only to run into students at Columbia University who denounced her for using the wrong pronouns. Park joins Charlie for a remarkable and deeply moving interview about growing up in a world where nobody is allowed to think and the very concept of God is prohibited. Park reveals what America means to her, and why it is so crucial to battle against those who want to remake America in the mold of Kim Jong-Un's tyranny.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, one of the most powerful episodes in the history |
| 0:08.8 | of the Charlie Kirk show. We've been doing this for nearly four years. We have done well over 1,200 |
| 0:16.6 | episodes. And I can tell you this is right up there as far as depth and power and impact. |
| 0:23.3 | I encourage every single one of you to listen to this episode and you will be moved at some period |
| 0:30.4 | of time I guarantee it and when you are moved you need to text this episode to a friend who |
| 0:37.4 | disagrees with your worldview. A Democrat, a liberal, somebody on the other side. If more Americans |
| 0:47.2 | hear this conversation, we will be in a much better position to win. It is a conversation with |
| 0:55.2 | the Yonmi Park. She has a new book out called Wild Time Remains but her story is so unbelievably |
| 1:04.3 | powerful. She is only one of 209 North Korean defectors that have come to America in the last 80 |
| 1:14.3 | years, only one of 209. One of the most articulate, incredibly wise and courageous. I firmly believe |
| 1:22.9 | it is the hand of the Lord that has put her in our country at this time for you to hear. |
| 1:31.2 | It should motivate you, it should animate you. Certainly did for me and I've heard her talk before. |
| 1:36.8 | We talk about a lot of different angles when it comes to talitarianism, including her time at |
| 1:43.5 | Columbia University and so much more. So please listen to this episode and then text it, email it, |
| 1:52.2 | share it. If you are a parent of a child, require them to listen to this before you give them their |
| 1:58.0 | allowance. I think it's that important. It should leave a permanent imprint on anyone that listens |
| 2:06.0 | of where we are as a country and the moral need to fight. Email me directly, freedom at charliecork.com |
