2:18.8

is that President Trump goes over to Singapore and he meets with Kim Jong-un. Now, I want to

2:23.3

begin with this. Kim Jong-un is the world's worst dictator. He's a piece of human debris. He has

2:27.0

garbage. Okay, he has killed his uncle, his ex-girlfriend, his brother-in-law, I believe.

2:31.5

He's killed all those people within the last couple of years. He killed his uncle at an airport using VX nerve gas. He has 25 million people living in his slave state. He has 200,000 people living in his gulags. He is just sheer garbage. And he is generation number three of sheer garbage in the Kim family. And North Korean defector talked a little bit on television yesterday about the people in North Korea and the fact they don't even know that they're slaves because they've never seen the outside world. In order to understand how horrible North Korea is, you have to understand that at night, when you take a photograph from space of North Korea versus South Korea, South Korea is all lit up like a Christmas tree. In North Korea, there's one light and it is at Kim Jong-un's palace. Legitimately.

3:59.6

Here's what a defector from North Korea said about North Korea. How bad was it in North Korea when you were there? It's hard to say because, I mean, I thought, like, I never knew my country was isolated. People in North Korea, they don't know that they are slaves. That's why, you know, if you don't know your slaves, how do you demand to be free? Okay, so bottom line is that this is a slave state. It is run by one of the world's most evil families and the world's most evil human being at this point in time. Now, the reason I point this out is because people are treating the summit with a bit of frivolity. They're treating it as a giant celebration, a coming out party for Kim Jung-un. And that is completely inappropriate. The only reason that we're meeting with Kim Jong-un is because he's been testing his nuclear weapons and because his family has been pursuing nuclear weapons and lying about it to the West over and over and over again. And lest we forget, these lies have been continuous and repeated. Okay, the Kim family has lied no less than eight times since 1992 to the American government about denuclearization, eight times.

4:01.7

So before everybody gets on their high horse about, oh, Trump finally got them to promise

4:05.7

denuclearization.

4:06.7

They have promised denuclearization more often than as many nights as their archonica.

4:12.3

He has promised denuclearization.

4:13.5

I mean, he has promised unuclearization essentially every other year. The family has every other year since 1992. And we're supposed to pretend that his current promise means something. Well, Trump tweeted in the run-up to the meeting that critics were selling him short. He said, the fact that I'm having a meeting is a major loss for the USA, the haters and losers. We have our hostages testing, research, and all missile launches have stopped, and these pundits who have called me wrong from the beginning have nothing else they can say, we will be fine. Okay, just to point out here, yes, we got some hostages back, so did Barack Obama in 2014, that is just historical fact. As far as testing and research and missile launches have stopped, we have no way to verify whether research has stopped. Testing has stopped at the nuclear mountain because they imploded their own nuclear mountain. And their missile launches have stopped because they don't want to set off President Trump in the run-up to the meeting. That's the idea here. And President Trump then continues, and he says, meetings between staffs and representatives are going well and quickly, but in the end, that doesn't matter. We will all know soon whether or not a real deal, unlike those of the past, can happen.
