it read, when i got off the plane in peking, i kissed the ground, happy to be back in a free country. a free country? china in 1981? i had been there. i knew that china was not safe. was it really possible that there could be a place that north korea could be worse? thirty years later, we know the answer to that question. it is the world most repressive state. it controls every aspect of the people's lives, even whether they get to eat. religion is banned. there is no law. perceived political infractions are often involved. a political offender knows that when he goes to prison, his parents and his children will probably go with him. there are probably about 200,000 north koreans today in more than a million who have already died there. these are the people that i write about in my book. this knowledge comes to us despite knowledge of the kim family regime to keep it secret. for more than 50 years, ever since the end of the korean war, north korea has sealed off from the world. the kim family regime has presumed an isolationist policy and it retains an iron grip on information, access

from the cooks in the kitchen of the peking hotel -- thank you -- vice-chairman of people's commune to the premier himself, the chinese melted under pat's warm smile and enthusiasm for experiencing new cultures. during her visit to the kitchen, with 115 cooks, she gladly sampled their creations, including a fiery stuff pickled squash. all reporters were quite impressed because some of them tried it and they couldn't eat it, but she did. sitting next to premiere at the state then, pat commented on the cute pandas drawn. when pat asked if he meant the cigarettes, he respond he met the pandas. pat gladly accepted the gift. nic sims also realized that talking to the prc, talking to the chinese leaders would worry the soviets when they came back from the visit to china, she had arranged they would also go back to the soviet union. as a result in late may, early june 1972, pat, dick, and not rushed traveled to moscow would take met with soviet leaders while pat followed her usual separate schedule. and it companies effort is times like mrs. lindley brezhnev, the soviet leaders had learned th

was sent out from paris and did a lot of mapping of the terrain and was part of the discovery of peking man, in fact. so, here is a christian deeply committed in his own paradigm but spent all that time in china and asia absorbing in a sense that the imperative of finding oneness and he found it in a powerful way. >> and so true that you get that feeling of oneness instinctively from being in that world view. yes janet, then we go to the roll in here. >> i wanted to go back to the relationship idea for just a moment - maybe the reason that doctrines define the male relationships is that the relationship of the female with offspring when everybody has got a mother is just a biologically programmed thing. those two beings share body cells together and it seems that this doesn't even need words to describe that definition of that relationship with ones mother. and so it maybe the male relationships need more definition because they don't start out with that level of oneness. >> well, that's exactly the somewhat apologetic explanation i came across. that it's so biologically with a mother t

it read, when i got off the plane in peking i kissed the ground, happy to be back in every country. every country, china, 1981? i had been there. i knew it china was a free. was it really possible that there could be a place that was -- that number three could be worse? thirty years later we know the answer to that question. north korea is the world's most repressive state. its people are the slaves of the family regime, which controls every aspect of their lives, even whether they get to eat. religion is banned. there is no rule of law, and perceived political infractions are met with harsh punishment, punishment, i should add, that is often needed out to three generations of a person's family , a political offender knows that when he goes to present his parents and his children will probably go with them. there are probably about 200,000 north koreans today in the gulag, and more than a million, perhaps as high as 2 million have already died there. the reason we know all of this and much, much more is thanks to the testimonies of north koreans who have escaped. these are the peopl

only been a moderate amount of exploration in saudi arabia, so there are a lot of people who say the peke oil series are, at the very least, the mature, that there are still a lot of oil to be discovered in saudi arabia. the other interesting thing, saudi arabia also has a lot of shale oil and gas deposits, just as we do. it could try to tap into those resources as well. so i think saudi arabia is a visit will probably be the world's largest exporter -- and it is forecast by the iaea, we overtake saudi arabia for about five years and then fall back again, were saudi arabia keeps on going. i think will be a fact of life in the oil market for as long as you can see. host: another comment on twitter. could america be energy independent by simply not exporting? guest: we are not in that exporter of a building. we currently import night when 5 million barrels a day. in the iaea report, by 2035, we will still be in pointing -- importing 3 million barrels a day. our refineries produce more diesel than we need here in the united states and import gasoline because some of the refineries in europe
