Patrick Bet-David sits down with Euna Lee to talk about her experience as a prisoner in North Korea. Lee highlights her time in prison under the North Korean regime and the stark contrast of being there one day and with President Bill Clinton on a flight to the United States the next day. Lee also explains she is cautious about her message and delivery for the sake of those still being oppressed by the same regime.
