Summary
Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Yeonmi Park about her new book, "While Time Remains"; the similarities between the brainwashing she witnessed in North Korea and the invasion of woke culture in the United States; the lack of concern by progressives over women's rights in other countries; how the mainstream media lies to Americans about activists; why she thinks America is in the midst of its own cultural revolution; how Big Tech censorship is silencing any dissenting political perspectives; how Chinese influence is corrupting various corporations; why she became disillusioned by the Left's definition of human rights; and much more.
