Speaker 1 (00:00):
You don't have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan,
you don't have to smoke forever. And the reason I
say it like that is I have been that guy.
I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and
what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit.
It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man,
I don't need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey.
And I would fail time and time and time again.

(00:22):
I tried things like the patch, it didn't work, gum,
sunflower seeds. I tried at all. It's just a matter
of finding the right thing to help you quit. That's

Jesse Kelly Show. All right, let's go ahead and get
started here on the Jesse Kelly Program. How is everybody
doing today? Jesse has the day off, so he let
me have the big chair for the day. It is

(01:32):
b K here. That's right, your guy, host of the
acclaimed podcast World News with BK. Have you guys been
listening to Jesse for a while, You've probably heard me
sit in from time to time and also usually make
an appearance about every Tuesday Jesse has a day off.
You asked me if I could take over for the day,
and I have, of course jumped at the chance to

(01:53):
do it, like I always do. If you're not familiar
with me, a little bit about me. I'm a former
Air Force Paragrest Schuman, a veteran like Jesse. Was spent
seven years in the military, six and a half seven years,
and then after that I was doing overseas contracting in
various unpleasant spots around the globe for about eight to
nine years. And now I do a weekly podcast. You

(02:16):
can find it on iTunes, Spotify, all the rest, and
it's primarily concerned with world news, conflict, politics, everything else
that's going in the United States, and of course those
fringe stories that I know all of you guys love
so much about the various horrible things human beings due
to each other. If you guys want to, you can
keep up with me on Twitter at Bravo Kilo Actual

(02:38):
for breaking news throughout the week, and you can check
out my Instagram at bk Actual. I've got some cool
military photos up there, and do a lot of other
stuff on Instagram like fitness tips and my basically my
ocean lifestyle as I live my days here in San Diego, California,
where I'm coming at you as we speak. Depending on

(02:59):
where this show catches you, I know it airs in
various markets throughout the day, but I hope you guys
all tune in and check out the podcast sometime. I
think you'll enjoy it. And why don't we get started
here on the show with kind of a rare event
and we're going to go international news of course, and
let's talk about this president of Chad. That's right. I'm

(03:23):
one of the few podcasts that covers Africa on a
weekly basis, and the leader there and why it's a
rare event, was actually killed in battle. That's right. His
name was Adres Debay and He ruled Chad with an
iron fist for three decades, and he just secured his

(03:45):
sixth term in office. He was considered by the United
States and the rest of the West as a crucial
ally in the fight against Islamic extremism in Central Africa.
And yes, now, just after the announcement came that he
had won his sixth term, he was actually dying on

(04:08):
a battlefield north of the capital of Nijamena. Sorry, guys,
these African names are challenging of wounds sustained while fighting
rebels trying to overthrow his government. And I was announced Tuesday.
Now he was a feared figure and they think that

(04:28):
his death could spark a battle for succession. And this
is a big loss in a country heavily relied upon,
like I said, by us in the wars against these
Islamist extremists in West and Central Africa. Now, if you
didn't know, and who does, Chad is a desert nation

(04:48):
three times the size of California. It's pretty massive, and
it's surrounded on all sides by countries facing all kinds
of instability. They've got Libya to the north, Niger to
the south, and the chatty and military forces have been
key to the war in what's called the Sahel, that

(05:09):
is the vast stretch of territory that is just south
of the Sahara, and of course the fight against Boko
Haram and all the splinter groups are very much in
play in the region. So for that reason, he did
enjoy the support of the United States and France despite

(05:30):
all kinds of political oppression of his political opponents. He
was sixty eight years old and news of the death
was broadcast the nation on state television by a group
of military officers who also announced, by the way, that
the president's son would succeed him and head a transitional
military council that would lead to new elections in eighteen months.

(05:54):
So there's kind of some questions surrounding his death, including
how exactly he was killed and why was he at
these front lines, again unusual for a head of state,
usually leave that up to your fighting forces. So his
son who will now take power is named Mohammad Idris Debby,

(06:17):
and he is thirty seven years old, and that is
already turning into a crap show over there, because that
violates the Chattian Constitution, which specifies that the president of
the National Assembly or failing that the first fights president
should take over when a president dies, and some analysts

(06:38):
are calling this a coudita. So on the same day
as the presidential election, which was April eleventh, rebels crossed
the northern border from Libya, and those rebels were from
a group called the Front for Change in Concord in Chad.
I love the flowery names that the rebel groups always

(06:59):
come up with, but they did move southward in several
columns and they said, yeah, we're on our way to
the capital of Chad, and so they said this can
happen now. France's top politicians did pay tribute to this
ally and they said that France lost a courageous friend

(07:25):
and a spokesman even referred to him that a spokesman
for President Emmanuel Matt Krall did call him that quotes
a courageous friend and called him a reliable partner who
worked relentlessly for the security of his country. The African
Union said they were mourning the loss of a champion

(07:46):
of Africa's endeavors to provide a peaceful, secure and stable column.
So a little bit about what we know. According to
one general named General Stephen Townsend, that's the top American
commander for Africa, and he was testifying to Congress in
Washington on Tuesday. He did say the circumstances surrounding Debbie's

(08:10):
death were very murky. He told the House Armed Services Committee.
Did General Townsend quote, he's a retired general and he
has in the past gone to the front. We don't
know exactly how he got killed. End quote. General Townsend
said that a combination of Chattian and French forces confronted

(08:31):
one of those rebel columns and as it appeared to
be withdrawing, Debe was killed. And they say this is
kind of a self inflicted error by France, like, hey,
you didn't need to confront these guys if you didn't
want to, but I guess they felt they had to.

(08:54):
Now the Chattians were fighting also that you know, they've
been known to fight around. They fought under the Libyan
commander Khalifa Hifter. You guys remember him. He was the
guy who launched the campaign to seize the Libyan capital
of Tripoli in twenty nineteen. But since the fighting in

(09:16):
Libya died down last year and that tentative UN back
piece process took root, some of the mercenaries fighting there
started to go home. So it's been pretty crazy over
in Africa. And like I said, I'm one of the
few guys covering it, and you guys should definitely keep
up with the podcast, so you be sure to check
that out. And just before the time breaks, guys, like

(09:38):
I said, i'd like to, I'm gonna skip around a
little bit today. Well i'll tell you what, why don't
we wait until the break because I do want to
get through some other stories and I have some hilarious stories.
I want you guys to stick around enjoy it with me.
I've got some domestic stuff. We're gonna get into all
the shootings that have been happening in America. I've got

(10:00):
any more international stories for you, and of course some
business news cover the business world quite a bit on
the podcast. We're gonna get caught up with that, and
we're gonna get into some workout stuff and some great
military stories as well. And so you guys stick around
for this. And I really appreciate, once again Jesse letting

(10:22):
me sit in the big chair. Going coast to coast
a little bit weird what I'm used to because there's
like hard time hacks that I have to hit. So
I hope I do a good job and you guys
stick around. We'll be back here on the Jesse Kelly Show.

(11:00):
Guess who just got a thank you text? That would
be me? Why family member struggling with allergies. We were
talking about some family event we had coming up, and
he brought it up to me. He said, Man, I'll
tell you my allergies are killing me. You should see
the pollen back here. I said, yeah, you should should

(11:20):
see the pollen down here too. It's really bad. But
my allergies aren't bothering me at all. And I told
him why. The Eden Pure Thunderstorm has taken care of
that problem for me. You understand, I used to go
to the pharmacy and get those allergy pills that you buy.

(11:41):
I'd take two or three at a time. I'm embarrassed
to say I don't take anything anymore. The Eden Pure
Thunderstorm will handle that for you. Good. At Eden pure

(12:16):
Kelly program. BK here sitting in for Jesse appreciate you
guys sticking around with me. Let's keep going with our
world news and let's go to Indonesia. If you haven't heard,
there's an Indonesian naval submarine that has gone missing. Here.
The last contact with this submarine came at three am
local time on Wednesday, and then this submarine just kind

(12:39):
of disappeared. It's somewhere deep in the waters off the
island of Bali in the Pacific Ocean, and by that
evening the Indonesian Ministry of Defense had tracked down only
one possible sign of the missing vessel. It was a
broad oil slick found in the area where this submarine

(13:00):
began its dive north of Bali. That's not good. There
were fifty three souls on board and they think that
this oil slick could be evidence of the submarines distressed
from a crack in the hull. Now, such cracking is
highly unusual, but can occur obviously with a sudden change

(13:21):
of pressure, which happens with submarines. But the last request
made by the submarine, which is known as the Krii
Nongala four O two, was for permission to descend to
a deeper part of the Bali Sea in order to
fire torpedoes for naval drills. So the request was granted.

(13:43):
Contact with the submarine was lost after that. Now it's
not like a very new submarine. It was actually built
in nineteen seventy seven in Germany. It was refitted in
twenty twelve. The Nongala was last fully maintained in May
of twenty eighteen. Whatever that means. It's about one hundred

(14:04):
and ninety six feet long, more than nineteen feet wide,
and it was only built to hold thirty four crew
members according to this article I'm skimming at the New
York Times, and that's according the specs provided by the
Navy during a previous training session. So it's not clear
why the vessel had more people on board, and perhaps

(14:29):
that might have something to do with it. Who knows,
there might be some sort of lack of SOP standard
operating procedure going over there. So two Indonesian naval ships
are using sonar to search for the missing vessel, including
one of the ships that was deployed earlier this year

(14:50):
to search for the flight recorders of that Indonesian jet
that crashed in January. You guys been listening to the
podcast you remember that and we'll see if it comes up.
Navies from neighboring nations like Austria and Singapore have been
alerted and will join the search. Now you know, Indonesia

(15:11):
is a archipelago country that is k country of thousands
of inhabited islands, and it is the world's largest such nation,
but its navy is poorly funded. Now, submarine accidents are
pretty rare. In the year two thousand, a Russian naval

(15:32):
submarine sank to the seabed after an explosion on board.
All one hundred and eighteen people died, and that was
after rescue teams took days to gain access to the
submarine and oxygen ran out for the twenty three sailors
who had survived that blast. And then I remember this
one because I covered it. In twenty seventeen, the Argentinean

(15:57):
Navy submarine went missing with forty four people on board
after what was thought to be an electrical malfunction, and
its wreckage was found a year later. So miraculous rescues
have occurred, though. In two thousand and five, seven sailors
on board a small Russian Navy sub that was trapped
in a fishing network freed just hours before their auction

(16:20):
would have run out. So they're keeping their fingers crossed.
And as far as the United States, we're getting involved.
Apparently we are sending airborne assets to help search for
this submarine. That was according to Pentagon Press Secretary John
Kirby on Thursday. So yeah, they're still looking for this thing,

(16:42):
and it doesn't sound so good. Meanwhile, let's go over
to more conflict news, and I've been watching this one carefully.
Let's talk about this Russian mass of troops on the
Ukraine border. Well, it seems that maybe cooler heads are
starting to prevail. Russia's defense ministry have ordered a partial

(17:05):
pullback of troops from the border with Ukraine on Thursday,
and this is hopefully a de escalation in that military
stand up, because that had raised significant alarms not only
with NATO but with the United States. And this pullback
came a day after President the Loveputin in an annual

(17:27):
State of the Nation addressed rattle off a list of
grievances against Western nations, including the threat of new sanctions
by the Biden administration. So he Putin had warned against
crossing this Russian line and the huge build up on
the Ukrainian border was in place while he spoke, and

(17:49):
this was like freaking out the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO.
And yeah, the Russian Defense Minister Saragei Shoigu, had called
the build up a test of Russian military, Russian military's readiness.
He said the units deployed to the border had shown

(18:13):
their capabilities and should now return to the regular positions.
So I guess, all right, I guess that's that that.
Everybody's just a peacock just fluttering the feathers, aren't they.
That's it. And meanwhile, in Iran, let's go over there.
I've been covering how Iran has been the kind of

(18:33):
getting sabotaged lately. It's been a couple of them in
a row in less than nine months. We had an
assassin on a motorbike who fatally shot an al Qaeda
commander given refuge in Tehran, and then we had that
chief nuclear scientist who was machine gunned on that country

(18:53):
road by like automatic machine guns. And then those two
separate mysterious explosions that hit a key Iranian nuclear facility
in the desert, and that really struck the heart of
the country's efforts to enrich uranium. Now these attacks are
being blamed on Israel, and I think they're feeling a

(19:18):
little pressure into Iran and they're seemingly scratching their heads
wondering at this ease with which Israeli intelligence is able
to just reach out right inside Iran's borders and touch
whoever they want. And it's often with the help of

(19:38):
turncoat Iranians. And so yeah, it's not good. From my
Ram's point of view, it's not good. The head of
Parliament's Strategic Center said Iran had turned into a quote
a haven for spies end quote, and the former commander
of the Islamic Revolutionary Ardcore, has called for an overhaul

(20:02):
of the country's security and intelligence apparatus. And most alarming
was that all these attacks revealed that Israel has an
effective network of collaborators inside Iran and that Iran's intelligence
services had failed to find them. And this is seen
as like, you know, hugely embarrassing for a country that

(20:25):
prides itself on their scary a revolutionary Guard corps, so
you know, not too scary to me, but yeah, there
you go. And then finally, guys, quickly before the break,
do you remember the Times Square subway bomber. This is
way back in twenty seventeen, and this was akad Ullah

(20:49):
thirty one years old. Well, he was a Bangladeshi immigrant
and he's the guy who was convicted of setting off
a pipe bomb strapped to his chest during rush hour
in New York City's Time Scores subway station. Well, he
has been sentenced to life in prison. So he detonated

(21:10):
his bomb. The bomb materials had come from a nearby
construction site where he worked as an electrician. But the
bomb largely failed. Oh but it did give him severe burns.
So congratulations, idiot, and you're going to prison for life. Now, wow,
good job, buddy. Thankfully they're too incompetent to live. All right, guys,

(21:34):
we'll be back here with more on a Jesse Kelly program.
Stick around one eighty over one eleven, one hundred eighty

(21:56):
two over one hundred and I had a heart attack
and a cardia caress and then a stroke. Your blood
pressure numbers could change your life. A lot of people
don't understand, including myself. I didn't. Now I do the
impact of having a show. My memory is shot. When

(22:20):
I woke up, I can't speak lowering your high blood
pressure could save you from a heart attacker stroke. If
you've stopped your treatment plan, restart it or talk to
your doctor about creating one that works better for you.
Start taking the right steps at manage your BP dot org.
I center of life, but I want to make it better.
Coming back, I ask your doctor check your blood pressure.

(22:46):
Brought to you by the American Heart Association, American Medical Association,
and the AD Council. All right, let's continue here on

(23:08):
the Jesse Kelly Show. B K sitting in with you, guys,
appreciate you hanging out with me. And let's talk a
little bit about Afghanistan. And I know I talked about
this a little bit last week, and I spent a
lot of time on it, but since it is such
a seminal part of so many of our lives, I
thought it would be worth it to talk about it again.
In hell, some of you listening probably weren't even born

(23:31):
when this first happened and went down, So it's worth
reviewing a little bit about Afghanistan, where it came from,
Why are we there, why were we there? And what's
happening now? Well? And this is of course in the
news because President Joe Biden has promised he will have
all American troops out of Afghanistan by September eleventh. Now,

(23:55):
before I even get into what I want to talk about,
I have a bone to pick with September the September
eleventh date. Like obviously he and his team work shopped this,
and you know at September eleventh has one date and
one date only, and it's the sacred date on a
day when thousands of Americans were killed in a cowardly
terrorist attack on our soil. And I don't feel like

(24:17):
it's really appropriate to also tie the end of the
war in Afghanistan to September eleventh, You know what I mean?
Am I out of bounds here? I feel that there
should be one date that September eleventh is known for
in one specific date that is September eleventh, two thousand
and one, And I don't really care for them now

(24:40):
tying the day of September eleventh to the actual is
raw of Afghanistan, if that makes sense, it just doesn't
sit right with me. But as a longtime critic of
the war in Afghanistan and as a veteran in the
War of Afghanistan, I have long advocated for us to
get out there. There's clearly nothing more we can do.
And I feel badly, as I've said many times, for

(25:02):
the people of Afghanistan, many of whom just want to
live their lives, and instead they have all these nutcases
running all over the country, whether it's the Taliban, whether
it's al Qaeda, whether it's ISIS, whether it's the local militias,
whether it's the corrupt Afghan government, and they're all fighting
out and of course, like usual, the people are caught

(25:22):
in the middle. But that doesn't mean that I want
any of my friends, or my family or anybody else
I know it going over there and getting killed, maimed,
scarred for life PTSD because of a hopeless quag buyer
that has no one in sight. And indeed, it's been
twenty years, so you know, it is time to come home.
And it wasn't supposed to even be this long. So

(25:45):
Biden said the roughly two thousand, five hundred to three thousand,
five hundred remaining American troops would be back home by
the anniversary of September eleventh. And you know, it depends
when you say with draw take it with huge grain
of salt. I mean, obviously, for one thing, we have
an embassy there, so we're always going to have with
any diplomatic mission, we're always going to have some troops there.

(26:06):
Some kind of quick reaction for US. I'm sure we'll
still have CIA people there and all of our contractors.
I have many good friends are over there right now
as contractors, and I'm sure they will all stay there too.
So when he says withdraw, you know again big big
air quotes there. But of course we did attack invade
Afghanistan weeks after al Qaeda attacked US on September eleventh,

(26:31):
two thousand and one, and that was when George W.
Bush said the Taliban, which then governed most of Afghanistan,
had rejected his demand to turn over those al Qaeda leaders,
including Osama bin Laden, who had planned the attacks from
bases inside Afghanistan. So Operation during Freedom was launched, and

(26:52):
by December two thousand and one, they we had already
kind of routed them. Osama bin Laden had fled to
safety in Pakistan. American forces did not pursue them, and
then Pakistan kind of evolved into this safe haven for
Taliban commanders and fighters, and they'd been subsequent years would
cross the border to attack American and Afghan forces. Indeed,

(27:16):
in May two thousand and three, remember Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld announced an end to major combat operations in
the country. But you know, we tried to pivot, like
we always do, because we don't learn history, We don't
learn from our failures in the past, and we pivoted
to rebuilding a failed state and trying to establish this
Western style democracy, and that involved US spending trillions of dollars,

(27:42):
and Afghanistan was already a soup sandwich at that point.
They had already been dealing with the Soviet occupation, who
are far more brutal than we were, of course, and
they had huge problems with it. I mean, we did
a few things. We tried to build a few hospitals,
few schools, get girls back to schools, stuff like that,

(28:04):
but the corruption was rampant, probably too much to overcome.
If you'd listen to the podcast, they did a few
famous stories on some of the infamous black hole projects
that tens of millions went into with nothing to show
for it, and it was just pretty bad. And then
in two thousand and three, after the end of major

(28:24):
combat operations were declared as when we kind of shifted
everything over to Iraq, because that was the war in
Iraq was launched in March of two thousand and three.
So while we were busy in Iraq, the Taliban started
rebuilding their fighting capabilities. They were doing a counterinsurgency, and

(28:44):
finally it got so bad. They were winning so much
territory that then President Barack Obama took the infamous Surge
when he deployed thousands more troops into Afghanistan. It reached
nearly one hundred thousand troops by mid twenty ten, but
the Taliban only grew stronger. They took more and more
the territory, and then in May twenty eleven, the US

(29:09):
Navy seal team killed Osama bin Laden in a compound
in Abadabad, Pakistan, and Obama right after that announced that
he would start bringing American forces home. Then that should
have been hit, really, I mean, the guy who was
responsible to the attack on the Twin Towers, he was gone,
and that should have been the end of it. And

(29:31):
even then, the Pentagon had already concluded that the war
could not be one militarily, that's it, and so Obama
ended major combat operations on December thirty one, twenty fourteen,
and that's when it transitioned to training and assisting security

(29:51):
forces then. But of course we stayed around right and
then it was Trump and he had a chance, and
he talked about ending the war, but he still didn't
do it. The Trump administration did start talking to the
Taliban that started in twenty eighteen. That led to formal
negotiations that excluded, by the way, the Afghan government led

(30:15):
by President Ashraf Ghani. And then finally in February of
twenty twenty, the Trump administration did sign that agreement with
the Taliban that called for all American forces to leave
Afghanistan by May first, twenty twenty one, and in return,
the Taliban pledged to cut ties with terrorist groups such

(30:35):
as al Qaeda and the ISIS Islamic State affiliate in
Afghanistan and reduce violence. And then they also promised to
negotiate with that hated Afghan government. But remember the Trump
administration is part of that deal, and I remember covering this.

(30:55):
Heavily pressured Ashraf Ghani to release those five thousand, five
hundred Taliban prisoners and they really didn't get a lot
in return, so that really alienated the Afghan government. So
now if you're the Taliban, what do you do you see?

(31:16):
You see the US is leaving. You know, the Afghan
government is not going to be able to keep it up,
which is sad and pathetic because it's been now damn
near twenty years of US training, equipping, doing all the
things we can do, including an air force. But as
I've seen firsthand in Afghanistan and Iraq, the feeling seems

(31:39):
to be, for whatever reason, that if the US isn't
there to hold their hand, the maintenance doesn't get done.
That just the professionalism is not there. And we can
see that with the Taliban hitting the fighting positions of
the Afghan government and just in general overwhelming them because
they believe in the cause. The Taliban believe even the

(32:00):
cause the Afghan government soldiers, who are often undertrained, under equipped,
poorly motivated, just don't. And so who do you think
is gonna win that fight? And after we said we're
going to leave, by the way, NATO said that it's
seven thousand troops in Afghanistan would also start pulling back.
So the future of Afghanistan for the Afghan people does

(32:24):
look grim more after this break on the Jesse Kelly
show b K here with you. Jake smnt Chew is

(32:51):
the way to make quitting dipping bearable. And I Am
not going to sit here and lie to you and
tell you, oh, quitting dipping ap ad. It's easy. If
you're thinking about quitting, Yes, quit, Yeah, everyone knows that quit.
Jake's Mintchew is what you need to get you through it,
because otherwise it's rough. I even tried the nicotine patch.

(33:15):
I tried it all. Nothing worked for me because nothing
gave me that transition when I eat a meal. That
was my time. When I would eat a meal, I
would have a dip every single time after I got
done eating well, when I would finish a meal, Putting
a nicotine patch on my arm doesn't give me that
fix of something in my lip. Only Jake's Mint Chew

(33:37):
does that. And it's tobacco free and it's nicotine free.

(34:11):
Kelly show BK here with you. Guys. Last segment, we
were talking about Afghanistan. A little bit, just a little
follow up. I thought I found this story, Oh, that
was pretty fascinating from the Justice Department, who I follow
on Twitter, by the way, a great Twitter follow if
you guys are want to kind of see the types
of cases the Justice Department in the United States is prosecuting.

(34:31):
Some pretty interesting stuff comes across that feed. And how
about this one. Here's the headline of the press release.
Six language recruiters indicted for recruiting unqualified linguists for deployment
with US Armed Forces in Afghanistan. How about this? A
federal grand jury did come out with an indictment charging

(34:52):
six former employees of a government contractor for their role
in the conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with
the US government contract or recruit and deploy qualified linguists
to Afghanistan, where they were supposed to provide language services
in Dari and Pashto to the US military. And I'm

(35:16):
not going to read off all the names, but most
of them are for California. Most of them were from California, Virginia.
They do sound like Afghan names people who would speak
Dari and Poshto, but they were employed as linguist recruiters.
For a contractor right, and the indictment alleges that the
defendants knowingly recruited linguists who lacked the minimum language proficiency,

(35:42):
and then the defendants would arrange for other individuals with
stronger language skills to fraudulently impersonate the unqualified linguist candidates
during world proficiency interviews, which were tests independently conducted by
another government contractor to ensure that candidates identified by the
defendants met these proficiency standards. So they were trying to

(36:08):
make it appear that the linguist candidates possessed stronger language
skills than was reality obviously, and that they're unqualified. Candidates
would receive passing scores, oh even better, at times the
defendants themselves fraudulently impersonated candidates during interviews. So I'm assuming

(36:32):
that this is some kind of family enrichment scheme, because
my first question is, why wouldn't you just take the test?
I know you're working as a recruiter, but you know,
the money's probably a lot better. Maybe they didn't want
to go to Afghanistan. I don't know, but yeah, they
said this was an indictment to enrich themselves at the

(36:52):
expense of the American taxpayer, which it certainly was. Anything
else to hear about this? Who they got in here? No,
that's the That's the only bad part is usually it's
just a press release and they don't have any of
the good detail. Now let's go to something a little
bit more amusing again covered on the podcast last week.
Have an important update and I have many Canadian listeners

(37:15):
of the podcast, and basically a little last week, there
was a little scandal in Canada when a member of
Canada's House of Commons, one of their houses of parliament,
basically appeared on a member's only zoom meeting and he
was nude. That's right, he did not know his camera

(37:35):
was on and somehow this was not open to the public.
Key point here, but this dude's nude picture ends up
as these things are wont to do, on social media.
And then they started investigation going how did this end
up on social media? Who did this? Because this is
only other elected officials. What we do have an update

(38:00):
because a member of Canada's House of Comments was forced
to apologize for having taken that nude photo of his
colleague during that zoom call. So this lawmaker was a
member of the block kbe koa named Sebastian Lemire, and

(38:22):
he did acknowledge having taken the photo of William Amos,
that's the Liberal Party who was nude. And oh and
then then Lemire, the guy who took the picture, he said,
oh no, I don't know how that ended up on
social media. Okay, well that's a complete lie obviously. So

(38:42):
just if you guys weren't familiar with the story, Amos,
the nude guy said he had been changing into his
work clothes after a jog and he'd been unaware that
the camera on his computer was on. Now other lawmakers
could see this, but again, this was a private zoom call,
so the video was not streamed publicly, and if you

(39:04):
know how zoom works, he wasn't speaking at the time,
so you'd have to, like, you know, look at his
little box because he's not speaking. It doesn't pop up
into the mad feed. So he did say the limier guy,
the guy who took the photo, he did apologize, but
he's full of crap because he says he has no

(39:26):
idea how the photo made its way into the media.
Well clear, if it's private and you're the only one
and you took the photo. Who else would be putting
it out on social media. He's such a liar, yeah,
and you know he's a kind of it was. It
was an amusing story at the time, but like I said,
a lot of the other lawmakers were pretty upset that somebody,

(39:50):
you know, took this photo of an unwearing, an unknowing
person nude and uploaded the image to social media. By
the way, the revenge porn law comes into play, right
And by the way, I don't think it would have
been such such jocularity if it was a female lawmaker.
And indeed, Canadian law does forbid publishing, distributing, or making

(40:12):
available a quote intimate image of a person knowing that
the person depicted in the image did not give their
consent to that conduct end quote. So yeah, this guy
should be kicked out of the parliament in my opinion.
And I don't want to hear he doesn't know how
it got on a social media that's a complete lie. Okay, guys,
got a lot more coming up right back after the

(40:32):
break with you stick around on the Jesse Kelly Show.
One in three adults has pre diabetes one in three.
That means it could be you. Your football buddy, your
football buddy, or you you're best man, you're a worst man.

(40:53):
You you're a dog walker, you're a cat jugger. While
one in three adults has pre diabetes, the early diagnosis
pre diabetes can be reversed. Take the risk test at
do I have pre Diabetes dot org? That's do I
have pre diabetes dot org? Wait, did they just say
one in three adults has pre diabetes. That's thirty three

(41:13):
point three three three three percent of adults. That means
it could be me my boss or my boss's boss,
or me my favorite sister or my other sister. That's
seven members of my twenty one person romantic book club. Wait,
the one in three could be me my karaoke partner Carol,
or h my karaoke enemy, Jeff. I'm going to take
the risk test that do I have pre diabetes dot org?

(41:36):
Brought to you by the AD Council and it's pre
Diabetes Awareness Partners. All right, guys, BK, here back with you,
finishing up this hour of the Jesse Kelly Show. If
you guys been listening to my podcast World News of
b K, guys know I like to finish strong and
in one of my favorite stories of the year, and

(41:57):
do you have an update? This, of course, was the
Michigan home inspector who was caught on the nanny cam
regrettably pleasuring himself using the Elmo doll from Sesame Street. Yes,
this is a real story, guys. This is not fake news.
And I know you know this is radio, so I'm

(42:17):
trying to be as delicate as possible. But this is
news and this is a real thing that happened. It
was a Michigan home inspector. He was performing his duties
and he was in the nursery and the homeowner, the female,
got an alert to her phone because she had a
nanny cam set up and she was like, oh, that
must be the home inspector, and yeah, she looks on

(42:40):
the phone. He clearly did not know the camera was there.
And she said when she looked on the phone, she
saw him kind of, you know, looking a little weird,
acting a little funny. She started recording it and the
rest is history. And yes, the Elmo doll was used
and abused and then put back in place grossly enough. Anyway,

(43:03):
the judge is going to decide if he's confident. And
that's just one of the great stories. Of the Year. Okay, guys,
stick around more Jesse Kelly Show with your host b K.
After this, Jesse Kelly returns next. This is a Jesse

(43:52):
Kelly Show. Okay, continuing on a Jesse Kelly Show. How
are you guys doing? BK here sitting in for Jesse.

saying it's the longest veteran hosted news podcast inexistence. It's

(45:00):
definitely the solo one you guys know podcasts are It's

here nor there. Let's keep going with our news here,

(45:26):
and we're gonna get in some domestic stuff too. It's
not all world news, but I want to keep going
around the globe. And part of the reason I do
world news, you guys, is because I feel it's so
criminally underreported, especially in the age of the Orange Man.
You know, when Drumff was in office, that's all that's
the networks were consumed with Trump and they basically ignored
everything that was happening all over the world. But let's

(45:49):
go over to Egypt really quick. They had a bad
train accident over there. A passenger train derailed north of
Cairo that killed at least eleven and injured a crapload more.
And that's the latest of said several deadly rail accidents
to hit the country in recent years. And yeah, they've

(46:11):
already detained a bunch of railway officials, including the train
conductor and his assistant. The authorities have And that comes
three weeks after two passenger trains collided, killing at least
eighteen people, and that one and that one injured at
least two hundred others. They said, prosecutors did that gross

(46:35):
negligence by rail employees was behind that crash. That one
was on March twenty fifth. And train wrecks are sadly
common in Egypt. You can imagine the railway system there
as a history of badly maintained equipment mismanagement. They've been
trying to renovate the system. President Abdel Fatah LCC said

(46:58):
that the government needed about fourteen point one billion dollars
US to overhaul the country's trains. You know, in Egypt,
hundreds of train accidents are reported every year. A few more.
In February of twenty nineteen, an unmanned locomotive unmanned locomotive

(47:21):
slammed into a barrier inside Cairo's main railway station that
caused a huge explosion and a fire that killed at
least twenty five people. And that crash prompted the Transportation
minister to resign. And then in August of twenty seventeen,
two passenger trains collided just outside the Mediterranean port city

(47:44):
of Alexandria that killed forty three people. But the granddaddy
of them all, Egypt's deadliest train crash was in two
thousand and two, and that's when, more than you get
ready for this number, three hundred people were killed after
a fire broke out in an overnight train traveling from

(48:08):
Cairo to southern Egypt. So yeah, don't get on a
damn train in Egypt anytime soon, that's for sure. And
one more international news story for you. Let's go to
the Czech Republic. Rarely talk about them, but they were
in news as a last couple of days because they

(48:29):
blamed a series of mysterious twenty fourteen explosions at Czech
ammunition depots on that elite unit of Russia's military intelligence service.
That is the unit that Britain linked to the twenty
eighteen attack with the nerve agent on a former Russian

(48:51):
spy in Salisbury, England. You guys remember that. And Prime
Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babis said at a
news conference that his government would respond by expelling eighteen
Russian diplomats who they identified as spies, and he thinks
that this unit, known as Unit two nine one five

(49:15):
five really imaginable. You guys can't come up with a
better name than just this set of numbers. I guess,
for like keeping a low profile, just a boring set
of numbers is good. But like I would want to
if I'm like a Russian spy and I'm going to
other countries and you know, killing assassinating people and blowing
up Ammo dumps, I would like my unit name to

(49:39):
be pretty like epic. I mean, you're you know, you're Russia, right,
You're the Bears, not that you could call yourself some
form of bear, like you know, Unit Grizzly something like that.
I mean, come on, Unit two nine five you how
are you gonna make a cool patch out of Unit
two nine five week. However, getting back to the main point,

(50:03):
this unit they said was involved in those blasts which
did kill two checks. Now, this unit did come into
light after that attack in Salisbury, England. I remember heavily
covering this on the podcast, and that was on the
Russian ex spy named Sergei screeple and his daughter Yulia,

(50:29):
and that's was using the nerve agent Novotchuk, and both
of them fell gravely ill but later recovered. And Britain
did blame that attack on Russian military intelligence also known
as the GRU, and identified two of his agents, who
traveled under fake names as Alexander Petrov and Russlan Burshidaf

(50:55):
as the prime suspects. So yeah, I think these same
dudes blew up these AMMO dumps, And the Czech Polife
did release photographs of the two men who did kind
of look like the same two guys who were in
Britain with the Novachuck. So, man, these guys are you know,

(51:17):
that's kind of a you know, the loss of life aside.
I'm saying, it's a pretty glamorous gig, you know, especially
if you're Russian. I mean, who wants to be in
Russia that long? You go to travel in England, you
get travel the Czech Republic, have a few drinks, blow
up some AMMO dumps. Pretty cool gig, I mean anything
else in here, Well, the Czech Republic is a member

(51:39):
of NATO and they have expelled Russian diplomats in the past,
but they have never ordered as many out as it
did this last week. And this came just days after
Washington kicked out ten Russian diplomats over the interference in
last year's US presidential elections because and also it was

(52:01):
also in retaliation for the hacking of the computer systems
used by the government agencies. And you guys remember that.
So that's what's happening there now. Russia did not stand
idly by as tensions escalated. Russia said, oh, yeah, well,
we're going to expel some of your diplomats. And indeed

(52:23):
they announced a few days ago that twenty Check diplomats
would be ejected in response to the other ejections. See
how this works. Yeah, and by the way, the Russian
Foreign ministry, as far as those Check accusations of blowing

(52:43):
up the MBO dump, he called them absurd, and he
accused the government of being an American puppet. Yeah, the
expulsions will likely pretty much kill the entire Czech diplomatic
presence in Russia show where they only maintain a few
dozen diplomats anyway, So that is it. By contrast, the

(53:05):
Russian embassy in Prague, which is the capital of the
Czech Republic, is believed to be one of the country's
largest in Europe and is used they say, as a
staging air for Intel operations. Very mysterious. More on the
Jesse Kelly Show after this break. Do you know what

(53:41):
sonic technology does? Get this the Eden Pure thunderstorm. It's yeah,
it's an air purifier, but it's not one that has
a filter you have to replace. This thing uses sonic
technology that produces super oxygen. That's really what they call.
It purifies the air in your home the same way

(54:03):
nature does after a thunderstorm. That's why it doesn't cover
up odors. It eliminates odors. That's why it actually kills
deadly viruses and bacteria. No more issu watery eyes from
allergies either. Oh, it also kills and prevents the spreading
of mold and fungus in mildew. My Eden Pure thunderstorms,

(54:28):
Well they've changed things in my house. Good at Eden
Pure deals dot com. That's Eden Pure deals dot Com
used the code word Jesse at checkout. That gets you
ten bucks off. All right, let's keep it going. On

(54:54):
the Jesse Kelly Show. B K here sitting in with
you guys. Thanks Jesse for letting me fill in, and
let's go to a few military stories. And I thought
i'd start with this one as a pretty major one.
And let's talk about these fifty one West Point cadets
that were caught cheating. That's right, a bunch of cheaters,

(55:14):
integrity violators. But yeah, actually, and oh see, this is
a bad headline at the Army Times. The headline reads
fifty one, but in actuality, there were seventy three West
Point cadets accused in the biggest cheating scandal in decades

(55:34):
at the US Military Academy. Eight were expelled and most
of them are being required to repeat a year. This
is unbelievable. So what happened here, Well, the cadets were
accused of cheating on an online freshman calculus exam in May,

(55:55):
of course remotely because of the coronavirus pandemic, and an
investigation was launched after instructors noticed irregularities in the answers. Well,
all but one of these cadets were freshmen or pleabs
in a class of twelve hundred. One was a sophomore.

(56:15):
Now keep in mind that the honor code that used
to exist at West Point bound the cadets by a
promise that quote. They will not lie, cheat, steal, or
tolerate those who do end quote. The cheating scandals the
biggest at west Point since nineteen seventy six. And you

(56:39):
know what, it's it's absurd in my opinion that they
should all be kicked out, is the bottom line. I mean,
I'll do I can tell you guys this right now.
You guys know my background USAF Para Rescue, very proud
of that, and I could tell you I took many
written tests to that between dive school and PA Rescue
School and all the rest paramedics. Well, I can tell

(57:00):
you without hesitation, if I was caught cheating, I would
have been kicked out of United States Air Force Power
Rescue instantly and I would have had to work pretty
hard to stay in the military. And so to me,
this absurd that's being allowed in. And I just wonder
in our new woke military if gender or race has

(57:22):
anything to do with this. I'm just wondering. I'm just
I have no proof of that, but it's just very
curious that West Point, which is supposed to have this
honor code big air quotes by the way, now for
your honor code that barely exists and they're going to
keep these people, then why would you do that? So
they're going to go out and become future military officers,

(57:45):
and they're going to be known as integrity violators, and
so they will look the other way when some of
their troops become integritary violators. Is that it's going to work? Now? So,
these seventy three cases were investigated by the Cadet Honor Committee.
Six cadets resigned during the investigation, well at least a
few of them met enough honored to do so, four

(58:08):
were acquitted in, two cases were dropped, and then most
of the cadets were basically turned back one full year
after admitting to cheating. So they did admit it, and
those cadets are under probation until graduation. Yeah, I think

(58:31):
it's I think it's crap. The academy did say they
are going to end what they call their six year
old willful Admissions process, which was used by fifty five
cadets and is designed to protect cadets who promptly admit
to wrongdoing from being kicked out. Okay, good, So so

(58:55):
it sounds like they get basically were grandfathered in't there's
some stupid rule officials determined the process was not meeting
its goal of increasing self reporting and decreasing toleration for
violations the honor code. Okay, good, Oh, here we go.
Fifty two of the cadets were athletes. Mm okay, so

(59:16):
maybe not race gender, but athletic privilege perhaps perhaps Now
I mentioned nineteen seventy six. There was a scandal in
that year that involved one hundred and fifty three upper
classmen who either resigned or were expelled for cheating on

(59:38):
an electrical engineering exam. How about that? Oh, but the
Army appointed a select commission headed by a former astronaut
to review the case, and more than ninety of those
caught cheating were reinstated and allowed to graduate. So you
know nothing, If you don't have any teeth to a punishment,

(59:58):
it's just not going to stick. A couple other military stories. Sadly,
we lost a paratrooper and this was a bummer because
once she was only it was a she's a specialist,
Abigail Jenks. She was only twenty one years old, and
she did post a picture just moments before jumping out

(01:00:20):
of a Blackhawk helicopter at Fort Bragg. It was like
her last picture Ever, how about that it was a
static line jump, which, of course if he didn't know
a static line the shoote is deployed via a chord
that's attached to the inside the aircraft on one end
and the top of the skydiver's deployment bag on the other. Now,

(01:00:41):
this type of jump is not to be confused with
a halo jump or high altitude low opening. These are
these jumps are done at very low altitude eight hundred
to twelve hundred feet. And although they're nominally safer because
you know, you actually have a chord that's pulling the
parachute of the bag, but the thing is, something goes
wrong with these. You have about five seconds until you

(01:01:04):
hit the deck to pull that reserve, and people do
die on these static line jumps. Now, we don't really
have any information about what happened. It'll probably be a
few weeks while they do an investigation. But yeah, she
did put out a self I'm looking at her selfie
right here. Oh god, it's a bummer. So yeah, lost

(01:01:29):
a paratrooper. These things happen, and unfortunately with airborne operations.
And then how about this story. The Air Force is
going to court martial a general for the first time
in their seventy four year history. And this is Major
General William Cooley. And yeah, he's a father of three,

(01:01:53):
been in the Air Force more than twenty years. He
was accused of forcibly kissing and watching a woman on
August twelfth, twenty eighteen, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, home of
Kirtland Air Force based the Para Rescue School. How about that.
M Yeah. They said in a statement that they did

(01:02:15):
a comprehensive review of all the evidence and they did
come to this decision. So they've already looked at some
stuff and says, yeah, this has to go forward. Wow,
he's got a few awards. He joined the Air Force
out of the ROTC in nineteen eighty eight and he
was promoted to major general in July twenty eighteen. Now, yeah,

(01:02:44):
some of the activists are putting this into perspectives. They said,
the overall prosecution rate of sex assault among the Air
forces only four percent, So that means ninety six percent
of the time these cases don't even go to trial.
But the Air Force this decision to send this to
an actual court martial makes them believe at least that

(01:03:09):
there's something here. Cooley had been relieved of his command
of the Air Force Research Laboratory at the right Patterson
Air Force Base in Ohio. They don't really have any
other details about the actual assault itself, so we'll just
have to wait and see and guys quickly before the break.

(01:03:30):
On a more amusing note, by the way, Sweden is
facing a sperm deficit as the pandemic has kept sperm
donors away from their clinics. They have an acute shortage
of sperm for assisted pregnancy, you guys, and they've never
had as few donors as they've had during the last
year so now the shortage has meant waiting times for

(01:03:53):
assisted pregnancy have shot up from about six months to
an estimated thirty months for the past year. So you guys,
you gotta go over to Sweden and have to help
them out there and replenish their stocks. If you will,
we'll lead back with more onto Jesse and Kelly show

(01:05:47):
All right, cruise along here on the Jesse Kelly Show.
B K. Here you guys, thanks for hanging out. Let's
go ahead and talk about what's been happening on some
of these criminal trials lately, and let's go to the
George Floyd K. So. I'm sure Jesse has probably already
talked about this week, but why don't we just do
a quick review about it and talk about the verdict

(01:06:08):
that Derek Chauvin received. Now, they did find him guilty
of all three counts he was facing, and he was
facing second degree murder, third degree murder, and manslaughter for
the crime of pinning George Floyd George Floyd's neck to
the asphalt with his knee until he stopped breathing. So basically,

(01:06:28):
the secondary murder charge is basically causing the death of
a human being without intent wall committing or attempting to
commit an assault. And then third degree murder is unintentionally
causing a death by committing an act that is eminently
dangerous to other persons while exhibiting a depraved mind with

(01:06:49):
reckless disregard for human life. And manslaughter is creating an
unreasonable risk by consciously taking the chance of causing death
great bodily harm to someone else. Okay, so that's what
he's found guilty of. And just before I continue, I
did agree that he definitely killed the guy. I mean,

(01:07:10):
you know, once the guy is down on the ground,
you don't have to think George Floyd is a great guy.
And believe me, I found that I have found the
deification of George Floyd over the last year or so
pretty nauseating, especially the salute. I will never get over
the flag draped coffin and the salute by the Houston
Police Department of his funeral that was that's like an

(01:07:32):
honor reserve for like, you know, cops or military guys
who were killed in combat and war. You know, George
Floyd is not a great guy. He's convicted felon, you know,
robbed a pregnant. Everybody knows the story. He's not a
great guy. That being said, that can be true, many
things can be true simultaneously. That being said, once the
guys down on the ground and handcuffs, you can't just

(01:07:53):
kneel on somebody's neck while he's obviously dying and people
are telling you on video he's dying and just not
do anything about it, especially as a law enforcement officer,
and you just can't do it. And in my opinion,
one had here. If I had to guess, I think
that Derek Schauman, if the crowd wasn't there, and if
he wasn't on video, I don't think any of this

(01:08:14):
would have happened. I think honestly, they were yelling at
him and they're egging him on, and he's like the cop, right,
he's the twenty year cop, and he's like, you're not
gonna tell me what to do, and he got all ostentatious.
That's why he stuck his hands in his pockets. Right,
He's like and he's staring at him and he's just kneeling.
He's like, You're not gonna tell me what to do.
I'm the big boss of this block. And he would

(01:08:36):
and he was gonna show that crowd that he was
the boss, and in doing so, he cost him on
his life. And that's what I That's just something I'm speculating.
I have no evidence of that, but that's just what
I think happened. So yeah, and as a police officer,
you just can't do that. So I did agree on
the conviction, and I knew. I was like, there's no
way he's gonna walk. There's absolutely no way, especially with

(01:08:59):
all the pressure. Right. So, none of those murder chargers
required the jury to find that Chauvin intended to kill
mister Floyd. That would have been like a first stream
murder charge. So they also could have determined a state
of mind for Chauvin. The legal term for that is
men's raya that would cover all three charges. So basically,

(01:09:27):
will it be appealed? I'm probably I guess I don't,
but there's no case, like what's your case. They threw
everything they had at it. You know, he's high on fentanyl.
And by the way, if I hear one more person
say fentanyl, I'm gonna lose my mind. It's not fentanyl.
It's fentanyl with a Y T y L, not T

(01:09:47):
O L. You know, you could say all that you want.
The whole thing is on video. You know how you're
gonna argue with that. That's where they were thrown out,
all the nonsense because it just wasn't gonna work and
it was an unwinnable case. So are they gonna appeal?
I sup maybe he has money to appeal. You might
as well. And they did say that, you know, people
making prejudical statements, including stupid Joe Biden weighing in on

(01:10:11):
it and among many other elected officials, when he just
should have said, you know, I'm really not gonna say
anything because it's not my place. But an appeals court
could technically throw all these out. Now as far as sentencing,
we're going to know about the sense in a few
more months. He has no criminal history, and Judge Peter

(01:10:32):
Cahill could if he follows Minnesota sensing guidelines, he could
receive a twelve and a half year sentence for the
top charge. However, the maximum charge for second degree murder
is forty years. But again, he has no criminal record.

(01:10:53):
Now in this case, is the judge going to ignore
all this knowing that the people on the street are
not going to be happy with the twelve and a
half year Very very possible. We'll have to see. So
what's the future like for Chauvin Well? Right now, he's
being held in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a
day in Minnesota's only maximum security prison. He's forty five

(01:11:17):
years old, by the way, and he was sent to
this after the verdict was read. Clearly there's the fear
for his safety. So he's been placed in this isolated
wing of the prison and he's going to be alone
in this cell for all but one hour each day,
during which he is allowed to exercise, and he will

(01:11:38):
be kept away, including on exercise, from all other prisoners
and remain under the watch of prison guards. Do you
think do you think he's going to kill himself? I mean,
you remember he was married and inn like. A couple
of days after the killing of George Floyd, his wife
divorced him and everything else. Well, the court also set

(01:12:01):
June sixteenth as the date for his sentencing. And just
so you get an idea, this wing of this prison
as known as the Administrative Control Unit. The cells are small.
They have basically a bench with a mattress pad, a toilet,
and a tiny shower and you can have clothing, toothpaste, soaps,

(01:12:26):
as well as pen and paper. In some cases you
can get books or magazines and newspapers, but that's only
if prison officials approved. So yeah, nice life. Now, going
from that, let's talk a little bit about this teenage
girl who was shot in Columbus, Ohio. And yeah, they
released the bodycam footage. The girl who was killed was

(01:12:49):
identified as Makia Bryant, sixteen years old. Apparently she was
in foster care, but the mom was around. I don't know, see,
because of the outrage on this case, none of the
pertain details that I want to know have been covered,
like why was she in a foster family if her
mom's around, stuff like that. But you guys have all
seen the video by now. The officer just gets out

(01:13:10):
of his car. We got the bodycam footage and the
officer had been responding to a nine one one call
about an attempted stabbing. Then he walks up to a
huge fight and you see this person in a black
shirt lunging at somebody who falls to the ground, and
then she moves with what is a knife when you

(01:13:30):
slow the video down towards someone in pink and the
officer did shout get down, get down repeatedly and then
pulled a gun out and, in my opinion, in a
remarkable display of poise and under pressure, fired four shots
and did kill Makia Bryant. She was literally in mids

(01:13:55):
stab This knife was going to go right into that
chick's neck if this cop didn't do anything. And boy,
even I was shocked by the dishonest media on this one.
I mean, guys, I know the media is worthless. I've
covered them for a long time. I scream about them
every week. Even I was shocked at how completely worthless
the media was on this one. Literally, the activists were saying, hey,

(01:14:19):
it's just a knife fight. Kids have knife fights. Let
the kids have their knife fights. What's the big deal.
Cops shouldn't get involved I'm like, really really got this guy.
And this wasn't just a few activists, you guys. This
was like the prevailing sentiment on far left wing race

(01:14:41):
Grift or Twitter yesterday. This was on CNN. That's what
they were saying. They were like, this is no big deal.
This cop had no business pulling this gun, and they wanted,
we're talking, well, why didn't he de escalate. I'm like, dude,
the time to de escalate is not when the girl
is in mid thrust with the knife a foot away
from a chick's neck. You can't d escalate at that point.
You have to take action in the moment. And the

(01:15:03):
cop did take action. It was just honestly shocking to me. Guys.
I gonna have a little bit more on this after
the break stick around on the Jesse Kelly Show. I'm

(01:15:31):
never going to lie to you behind the microphone, and
I'll tell you this. I was a huge failure when
I was trying to quit dipping. I never got to
a place where I wanted to quit because I enjoyed
it so much. I just knew that I needed to quit.
It's just something I knew, something you know deep down inside,
you know it's true, I just couldn't do it. I

(01:15:53):
tried cold turkey, well, that didn't work at all. I
tried just spacing it out more. That didn't work at
all either. I tried sunflower seeds, bubblegum, the stupid nicotine patch.
I tried it all. None of that gave me the
fix of feeling like I had a dip in my lip.
And that's really what I needed. And that's what Jake's

(01:16:13):
Mint Chew does for you. They even have four different
flavors of the CBD pouches that really take the edge
off with no nicotine good at Jake's mint Chew dot Com.
That's Jake's mint Chew dot Com. He's the promo code
Jesse for twenty percent off. All right, let's go ahead

(01:16:45):
and finish up here with sixteen year old mckea Bryant
from Ohio. As I was talking before the break, you guys,
and finish the thought on here. As I said, activist
Twitter was in a fury, and honestly, I don't know
where we go from here, because now it's clear that
to the activists, no matter what the circumstances, if an

(01:17:06):
officer is white and the person who gets shot is black.
It's always wrong. I mean, you can't have a better
example than this. Literally, somebody's swinging a knife, and these
people they think like knives are like in the movies,
you know, where you like get stabbed and it's all
like neat and you just pull it out and go

(01:17:27):
on about You're just no big deal. Knives are messy.
Ask any cop. They're way more scared of knives than
they are of guns. Almost too, because knives are unpredictable.
They can really just maim you and mutilate you. Guns,
you know, guns are hard to shoot accurately, especially handguns.
You know, that's honestly what made this cops shooting so good.

(01:17:50):
So let's keep going with this. Okay. The woman here
we go, I was asking about what this chick's living
situation is, so that she was living in a Foster
home and she was interviewed. She said, she said Mkaiah
Williams was her mckea. I'm sorry, Makaia was Machea Bryant,

(01:18:15):
getting my names mixed up here. Mckea Bryant was her niece.
So she said mckea Bryant lived in a Foster home
and got into an altercation with somebody else at the home.
So and again this is right after the choven verdict
happened and before anybody did anything. You know, all this

(01:18:36):
scummy media does is put out like white cop shoots
black girl, blah blah blah, with no like kind of
context to it at all. And it was just nonsense.
The New York Times indeed, in the article I'm looking
at right now, that grifter trial attorney Benjamin Crump, he
was the George Floyd lawyer. He actually tweeted out right

(01:18:56):
away quote as we breathed a collective sigh of relief today,
community and Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting
another child lost another hashtag, and he went on to
describe her as unarmed. I don't know why The New
York Times doesn't include that in their quote of his tweet.

(01:19:16):
You know what I'm saying. They like attached it like
it's not relevant, Like come on, and I like the
New York Times mostly so yeah, and it was just
and the nonsense that went on afterwards was horrible. They
released new footage today and they got home security footage.

(01:19:37):
If you guys haven't seen, it's more of like a
wide angle because the first footage was the body cam
and this was home security footage taken from a garage
across the street, and judged it does show the shooting
of mckea Bryant and kind of shows the whole thing
and the neighbor. Donovan Brinson, who handed the footage to police,

(01:19:57):
said after viewing the footage, he believes more people could
have died if the cop had shot her. And you
know what the sad thing is, I noticed, first of all,
we don't even know the name of the chick that
this girl was trying to stab in the face. And
even more sadly, I doubt will hear the mother of
that child publicly thanked the police officer for saving her

(01:20:21):
daughter's life, if at a minimum, saving her daughter from
being horrifically wounded, maimed, anything, because they're probably she's probably
afraid of blowback from the activist community and Twitter. Stupid Twitter.
That's what rules everything now, is stupid Twitter. And it's
just a tragedy. And again I don't know where we

(01:20:43):
go from here, Like why would you want to be
a cop in this day and age? They're just want
to throw you under the bus, and all the morons
in the media and Lebron James where they think you
can just shoot somebody in the kneecap who's like moving
at a full sprint. They really do. They've watched so
many movies. It's so silly and then stupid Lebron James.

(01:21:04):
He tweets out a picture of the guy and as
soon as I saw this, I was like, this is
going to be deleted. He tweets out a picture of
the cop, who, by the way, is named Nicholas Reardon.
He is a member of the Air Force, so like that.
So Lebron James tweets out a picture of him with
the caption your next and you know, he was trying

(01:21:27):
to say like, oh no, I just meant you know,
your next as in the next cop to go on
trial with the hashtag accountability. And as soon as I
saw that, I was like, this is completely insane, Lebron James.
Imagine what you think you just committed. You just saved
somebody's life as a police officer, right in a horrific,

(01:21:49):
turbulent situation. The next thing, you know, one of the
most famous people on the planet was he like, eighty
million Instagram followers is tweeting out your picture saying you're next,
and I was like, the NBA has got to step
in here, And honestly, I'm pretty sure that's what happened,

(01:22:11):
because there's not too many people who can talk to
Bill Lebron. Lebron James has been coddled with his whole life.
He's a giant idiot. He pretends he's like this big genius,
which he's not. I used to like Lebron James too.
He was way out of line here and I'm pretty
much sure as somebody in the NBA or somebody at Nike,
maybe somebody after he sent that tweet out and it

(01:22:33):
went all over, got him on the phone and was like, dude,
what are you doing? And as far as the NBA,
any cop gonna go work to security at the NBA. Now,
if I was a police chief, I wouldn't allow my
cops within a mile of an NBA team or an arena.
I'd be like, you go hire your own private security.
You want to talk about our officers like that who

(01:22:54):
do the thankless job they do day in and day out,
saved another young black girl rolls by the way life
and this is the thanks they get your next completely
unacceptable back with more after this on the Jesse Kelly Show.

(01:23:21):
Your daughter doesn't want to talk about why her room
is a horrible mess. Your son doesn't want to talk
about why he's wearing mismatching socks. Your spouse doesn't want
to talk about their bad haircut. Families don't have to
talk about everything, but they should talk to plan for

(01:23:42):
an emergency. Pack basics, applies in a go back water,
canned food, flashlights, batteries, medical supplies, IDs, and some cash.
Talk about where you'll meet in case you lose one another,
and of course don't forget to pack the dog treats.
Talk to your family and make an emergency plan. Go

(01:24:05):
to NYC dot gov slash ready and why I'll call
three one one to make your family's emergency plan. Brought
to you by New York City Emergency Management and the
AD Council. All right, let's finish up this hour of

(01:24:29):
the Jesse Kelly Show. B K here with you, guys.
And you know that I thought I saw this story
and it was fairly interesting, and then they really buried
a little point at the bottom, and this is the
story out of Chicago. They had an audit released by
an Inspector General in Chicago, and it started. The story
starts off fairly interesting. As a Chicago Fire Department lieutenant,

(01:24:50):
he was fired after the city's watchdog, the IG, determined
that he was repeatedly sexually harassing and rest taurant employee
wall on duty and in uniform. And he was not identified.
But I mean, it wasn't the worst thing in the world.
He was calling the worker like, you know, baby, sweetie,

(01:25:11):
and hey, I'm gonna marry you someday, stuff like that. Okay,
but then he messed up and he kissed him on
a cheek. Okay, nobody not too sexy. But then way
down at the bottom, they had a little tidbit tied
in where they said they fired a truck driver for
the Department of Water Management for pleasuring himself inside of
a city owned truck wall on duty, and a resident

(01:25:35):
of the neighborhood did record the driver performing the act.
And I always love the excuses they make. No, no, no,
I was doing other stuff. He said first that he
spilled a drink on himselves and later that he was
urinating into a bottle. Okay, guys, more after this on
a Jesse Kelly show, This is a Jesse Kelly show.

(01:26:30):
This is the Jesse Kelly Show. All right back on
the Jesse Kelly Show. B K. Here filling in for
Jesse for the day host of World News of b K.

(01:26:53):
You guys can find my weekly podcast covering the entire globe,
all all your streaming platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, iHeartRadio,
and all the rest. So why don't we keep going
and get you a little coronavirus update. So we have
a total reported case count in the United States of
thirty one million, nine hundred and fifty thousand, six hundred

(01:27:17):
and seventy four. It is starting to decline again after
that brief uptake the last few weeks, and the total
reported deaths in the United States is five hundred and
sixty nine thousand, eight hundred and sixty nine. Now, the
fourteen day change in the number of cases reported is
minus six percent and the fourteen day change in the

(01:27:40):
number of deaths reported is two percent. So case numbers
have been kind of stagnating, declining slightly. Around sixty seven
thousand new infections are being identified each day. That is
down from about two hundred and fifty thousand daily at
the January peak. Now, the worst state currently in the

(01:28:03):
Union for the Coronaviruses in Michigan for weeks now, hospitalizations
continue to rise and are approaching record levels. Cases are
surging in Puerto Rico. The territory is averaging there more
than one thousand cases a day, that is far more
than any point in the pandemic thus far. But cases, deaths,

(01:28:26):
and hospitalizations are falling. In New York, they were hit
really bad. Obviously. All adults in every state are now
eligible for a vaccine, regardless of pre existing conditions, age,
anything else. More than three million doses are being administered
each day, so that is very good. Let's go to

(01:28:48):
our live updates page here and let me scroll through
this and see what's new. Well, for one, the Johnson
Johnson vaccine, you guys probably heard that that was kind
of on the shelf for a little while. It was
stupidly in my opinion, because they had they had like
what like six cases of blood clots out of like
six million administered doses, and there was no proof that

(01:29:11):
those clots were even tied to the doses, and they
you know what, I'm tired of the people for a
perfect world here. I really whether whether you're on the
vaccine side whether you're on a coronavirus side, because now
we have a whole cottage industry of people who are like, no, no,
we can't live life as long as one person gets

(01:29:32):
an infection. Then conversely, we have the no, we can't
give a vaccine if one person has a side effect.
I mean, it's just absurd. This is not a perfect world. People.
We have to live our lives, and I'm just sick
of it. You take a statistics class, for God's sakes. Well,

(01:29:52):
South Africa, for one, will resume the use of the
Johnson Johnson vaccine, and they need to do that because
they've had some serious issues in South Africa and trying
to get that to all their healthcare workers vaccinated. And
in the United States, federal officials indeed do appear to

(01:30:14):
be leaning towards lifting their recommended pause. They say they'll
probably attach a warning to it. Okay, fine, give a warning.
I mean, I'm personally, I'm pro science and pro statistics,
and I took the vaccine a long time. I was
happy to take it, and now I don't care. For
me the pandemic's over. I don't really care at all

(01:30:36):
now as far as other places in the world, India
has a rapidly worsening coronavirus outbreak. Yeah, they've they've been
getting hit hard. And remember India was hailed early on.
People were terrified that it was really going to run
rampant through India because of the tight living conditions and
you know, the billion people, and it was seemed like

(01:30:59):
they were doing a good job on it. But now
it's really bursting out. The health ministry there has reported
more than three hundred and ten thousand new infections on Thursday.
That is the highest number of cases recorded in any
single country on a single day during the pandemic. That

(01:31:20):
beats the previous one day high record of three hundred thousand,
six hundred and sixty nine cases that was recorded in
the United States on January eighth. And you know what
the funny thing is, though, we have to take all
these case numbers with a grain of salt, because a
lot of people had this, never knew it, never got tested,

(01:31:42):
never got the antibody test. I myself tested positive coronavirus.
I never even would would have known I had it
at all, and they said, oh, yeah, you're you're positive.
I was like, really, I felt fine. I never would
have even known. So they say, I've heard through various
interviews and reading and such that you have to take

(01:32:03):
the number of case citizen's probably actually four times that
the number of people have actually had it and just
never knew, you know, felt a little crappy last January
for a few days and just brushed it off as
the flu. But that was probably it. So we've had
way more cases in the actual listed case numbers. So
India is getting hit hard. So the death toll in India.

(01:32:29):
While on Thursday at least they recorded two thousand, one
hundred and four deaths, that's less than the worst points
that we had, but that's a big increase in India
from just two months ago when fewer than one hundred
people daily. We're dying and you can imagine that their
health system probably not great. As a matter of fact,

(01:32:50):
on Tuesday, at least twenty two people died in an
accident in the central city of Nashiq when a leak
in the hospital's main auction tank cut the flow of
oxygen to COVID nineteen patients on ventilators. In early February,
India was recording an average of just eleven thousand cases

(01:33:11):
a day and more than one hundred and thirty two
million Indians have received at least one dose of the vaccine,
but supplies are running low. So now they say, you know,
critics are going after Prime Minister Norendramodi. He did impose
a harsh nationalide nationwide lockdown in March twenty twenty, and

(01:33:35):
he was praised for doing that, but they now say
he kind of took it for granted and he opened
up too quick. Let's see where else around the world.
France outlined plans to gradually start reopening the country in May.
They hope so because the pandemic appears to be improving

(01:33:55):
in France, hospitalizations seem to have plateau, and like everywhere else,
they have pandemic fatigue in France, and they've had lots
of protests, just like they've had in the United States.
Let's see. Germany approved a new version of a law
on Thursday boosting the federal government's power to enforce coronavirus

(01:34:20):
lockdowns m h and Japan has canceled the annual I'm
Sorry Buy anual Tokyo motor show because of rising coronavirus cases.
Is the first cancelation in the sixty seven year history
of the event. This comes as Japan reported five thousand,

(01:34:42):
two hundred ninety one new affections. That's the highest daily
total in three months. And of course we're supposed to
have the Tokyo Olympics coming up. Organizers have insisted that
the Tokyo Olympics that are supposed to begin in July
will go on, but if are already making plans to

(01:35:02):
impose emergency measures there. And meanwhile, in Naressa over in Europe,
the European Union will not order an extra one hundred
million vaccines from Astrazenica. This is seen to kind of
underscore the bad relationship between astro Zenica and the European

(01:35:25):
Union because the EU is in this dispute with Astrozenica
over their inability to deliver expected doses, that is, Astrozenica's
expected doses, which has set the EU's vaccination efforts back significantly.
They're actually considering suing astro Zenica. So yeah, guys, get

(01:35:49):
the vaccine. Let's freaking get back to normal. I'm tired
of it. I'm in California. We've been locked down longer
than anyone and still we have a lot of limits here.
So let's get it going and get back to normal
more after this on a Jesse Kelly show, Jake's Mint Chew.

(01:36:22):
That is the way you're going to quit dipping tobacco.
It's the way you're gonna quit smoking. But let me
talk to the friends and family members of the dippers
and smokers right now. Try giving some Jake's Mint Chew
away instead of giving a lecture. I know you only
want what's best for that person you love. I know,

(01:36:43):
but I'm here to tell you. Pointing a finger at
somebody and telling them that they have to quit and
it's bad for them and things like that, that's not
an effective way. Instead, why don't you give them real,
actual help. And you don't have to feel guilty about
giving them Jake's Mintchew either, because it's tobacco free, it's
nicotine free, it's even sugar free, and it actually works.

(01:37:06):
It actually works. Go to Jake's Mint Chew dot com.
That's Jake's Mint Chew dot com. Used to promo code
Jesse at checkout. That's j E S S E. That
gets you twenty percent off. Don't help them quite all right, guys,

(01:37:37):
Before the break, I was talking about your coronavirus update.
I didn't want to have a couple saved rounds on
that one. I wanted to talk about some of the
tangential effects of the pandemic. You know, it's not just
all people who get sick and die and sadly, you know,
people who are elderly and have underlying health conditions, and

(01:37:59):
that's the vast majority of people who got sick and dyed.
That happens especially when you're obese, which was probably next
to age, the next number one qualifier, which is why
I'm always yelling on the podcast about maintaining that jacked
and tan lifestyle. You know, it's not all just jokes.

(01:38:20):
You know. You guys hear me joking about the ap
veins and the great hair, the bronze tan skin, a
color not found in nature, and you think it's like
a joke, and it is somewhat, But I'm also trying
to prove a point, which is that you have to
maintain that lifestyle because the more fit you are, the
better your diet is, the less crap you're shoveling down

(01:38:41):
your stomach, the better chance you have to ward off
any disease, and that includes a coronavirus. So I would
encourage all of you to do that as well. And
trust me, most of you are eating too much. I mean,
California is bad enough. Honestly, it's shocking when I go
to like the Midwest trying and insult the great people there.

(01:39:01):
But you know, I'm just saying I've done you know,
I've done a lot of military training Midwest, and I
got to the Walmart and Midwest and I'm like, good lord,
what are you eating? And whatever it is? It's way
too much. It's just too much. Okay, I'll make you
a deal. Eat as much as you want of chicken,

(01:39:24):
beef and vegetables. Okay, you can eat as much as
you want. I'll make that deal with you. Don't even
try to control the portions, but you can't eat anything else.
How's that deal. I guarantee you if you did that
and you walked five miles a day, you'd be reasonably fit.
As a matter of fact. My let's see a lot

(01:39:46):
of you guys ask me all the time. You're like, BK,
what's your workout? You look at mean, you look at you.
You have the shoulders of a Greek god. You've got
arm veins rippling down the eighteen inch pythons. I mean,
how do you do it? B K, especially as man
in your forties and tell you it's not easy. I
put in the work. Well, it's not that complicated, honestly.

(01:40:06):
One of the here's okay, here's your easy exercises that
this is what I this is my workout before I
did this radio show. I have because our gym's from
well the gym, I go to the gym on base
and it's still lockdown to all but active duty, and
I'm a retiree, so I still can't go on. So
I haven't been to a gym in over year. Fortunately,
I have two fifty three pound kettlebells and I take

(01:40:30):
them out in the alley and I do Farmers carries
with him. What's that mean? I pick them up and
I walk down the alley with him. I know it's
super complicated, right, And then when I get to the
end of the alley, I drop when I do fifteen
to twenty push ups, and then I pick them up
and I walk all the way back down the other
end of the alley. And this time I take one

(01:40:51):
of them and lifted over my head ten times. You know,
you try, guys, track what I'm saying, like for the
overhead presses, do that about twenty times a couple of
times a week, and you will be jacked. At least
you will be prepped for the beach. And you combine
that with eating just meat and vegetables will fruit here

(01:41:14):
and there. Dude, You guys will have ab veins crawling
down your hips into your thighs. You will have shockingly
younger women, inappropriately inappropriately aged differentiated women coming up to

(01:41:35):
you and demanding to know how you with the graybeard
did it. And it's really not that hard. Okay. So
I don't know how I got on that subject to
you guys, but like most of the I want most
of the segment on that. But that's okay. Here's what
I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about
some of the ripple effects, and one of them was

(01:41:55):
the drinking. I know that I drank tremendously more during
the lockdown, and we've been drinking more as Americans than
we have in decades past. In twenty twenty, researchers found
that from nineteen ninety nine through twenty seventeen, per capita
alcohol consumption increased by eight percent and the number of

(01:42:18):
alcohol related deaths doubled, many caused by liver disease. And
they say women are of particular concern because the number
of men who reported any drinking stayed most of the same,
but the proportion of women who did so increased ten percent.

(01:42:38):
So and the number of women who reported binge drinking
or consuming roughly four or more drinks in about two hours.
I know, everybody's like shaking her head, gone at it,
that's nothing. Well, that pro win increased by twenty three percent.
By the way, for men, binge drinking is defined as
five or more drinks in that period. So alcohol sales,

(01:43:01):
as you guys know, spiked during the pandemic. And Day said, yes,
a growing body of research has begun to confirm that
Americans and women in particular are indeed drinking more. And
they said that on a questionnaire those conducted last Weakness
by JOHNS Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, that mostly women

(01:43:28):
and of the eight hundred people who responded, and sixty
percent were drinking more compared than before COVID nineteen. And
they said it was an increased stress. And why wouldn't
you be the isolation the lockdowns all this crap. Yeah,
it's not good and what alcohol wasn't the only one

(01:43:50):
we all said to deal with overdose deaths And more
than get this, more than eighty seven thousand Americans died
of drug overdoses over the twelve month period that ended
last September. This is according to The New York Times,
and according to preliminary federal data, that blows away the

(01:44:14):
twelvemonth total from any year since the opioid epidemic began
in the nineteen nineties. And this has gone largely unremarked
upon because everybody's been obsessed with this virus that kills
the old and the obese, and death from overdoses started

(01:44:36):
rising again in the months leading up to the coronavirus pandemic.
It's still hard to say how closely the two phenomenon
are tied together, but it makes sense, right. And the
biggest jump in overdose deaths took place in April and May,
and that's when we really didn't know a lot about
the virus and everybody was like freaking out. They said.

(01:45:00):
This was a twenty nine percent increase in overdose deaths
from October twenty nineteen through September twenty compared with the
previous twelve month period. Primary drivers illicitly manufactured fentanyl other
synthetic opioids, but a lot of the other fatal overdoses

(01:45:22):
have also involved stimulant drunk drugs, particularly meth amphetamine. And
unlike in the early years of the opioid epidemic, that
was when deaths were largely among white Americans in rural
and suburbs, right well, this current crisis is affecting Black

(01:45:47):
Americans disproportionately. The National Institute on Drug Abuse said the
highest increase in mortality from opioids, predominantly driven by fentanyl,
is now among Black Americans, and the risk of dying
from methamphetamine overdoses is twelve times higher among American Indians

(01:46:15):
and Alaskan Natives than any other group. That's insane. Yeah,
it's too bad. During the Trump administration, several billion dollars
in grants to states allowed more drug users to get
access to the three FDA approved medications for opioid addiction,

(01:46:36):
like methadone. But yeah, it's just not going well. And
they do say that more people have been using drugs
more often during the pandemic. And this is why, guys,
it's loneliness. It's isolation, it's the lockdown, it's unemployment, it's
all the rest, and it's chilling back with more on

(01:46:57):
The Jesse Kelly Show. After this, no word in English
language is less convincing than probably. Are you sure we
should get matching tattoos on our first aid? Sure? We'll

(01:47:19):
probably stay together. Probably. It's been twenty three minutes since
I ate. I can probably swim. You should wait thirty minutes. Okay,
I don't tell me what to jo candid ball, cramp, Oh,
I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green

(01:47:41):
from here? Probably? Can I get a Mulligan ready to go? Hey?
Are you sure you're okay to drive? Yeah? I'm pretty sober. Yeah,
I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it

(01:48:01):
comes to drinking and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab,
a car or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
A message brought to you by NITZA and AD Council.

(01:48:30):
All right, let's get back to some international news on
The Jesse Kelly Show. B K here filling in for Jesse.
And how about this headline not something you see every day?
Man is on trial in Madrid, Spain for killing and
eating his own mother. Freaking nut dude. This is Alberto

(01:48:52):
Sanchez Gomez and he was arrested in twenty nineteen after
police went to the home of his sixty six year
old mother following concerns from a friend, and police say
they found body parts scattered around the apartment, some were
kept in plastic containers, and a defendant told the court

(01:49:12):
he does not remember dismembering and yes, eating his mother.
He is reported to have been suffering from a personality disorder,
writes the BBC, and guess what, shockingly enough, does have
a drug habit. Spanish media say he had been known

(01:49:33):
to police because of violence against his mother, Maria Soledad Gomez,
and that he had breached a restraining order the time
of his arrest. So the court is now hearing of
the macabre scene the police found at the home in
eastern Madrid. And you know what they said, Some of

(01:49:54):
the human remains were actually in the process of being cooked,
and others were stored and contained. He's like, yet he
has mom and tupperware. Dude, Oh damn. Talk about suffering
from the lockdown. Yeah, he said he did confess to
strangling his mother, and he said he had sometimes eaten

(01:50:16):
the body parts, and some no sometimes given them to
the dog. Oh boy, Alberto, no bueno, no, no bueno,
Alberto's let's keep going. Let's go back to Pakistan. Here,

(01:50:36):
a powerful explosion, apparently from a suicide bomber did hit
a luxury hotel in southwest Pakistan. This is not just
some dump so tell is frequented by high level guests.
They said. At least four people have been killed and
twelve wounded. And they say China's ambassador to Pakistan may

(01:50:57):
have missed the blast by mere minutes. That ambassador great
name Nong wrong n og ron G was leading a
child Chinese delegation that had been visiting there. He was
staying at this hotel called the Serena and it's in

(01:51:18):
the city of Queta. And they did tell the local
news media the Chinese were staying at the Serena hotel.
They were not president hotel at the time of the attack,
and the Chinese delegation was safe. All the casualties were
of Pakistani nationals. Now it's not clear if the Chinese
visitors were the target which This attack, by the way,

(01:51:40):
was claimed by the Pakistani Taliban. They are known as
the t TP or the ted Ek E Taliban Pakistan,
but the group's statement of responsibility said a suicide bomber
had intended to strike a meeting of quote locals and

(01:52:00):
foreigners end quote at the Arena Hotel. If you didn't know,
China is considered an important ally of Pakistan and has
taken several infrastructure projects on along with a deep seaport
in this same province where the hotel is located. So

(01:52:21):
they're still debating whether this was actually carried out by
a suicide bomber. Some officials said the initial explosion was
actually done by explosives that had been inside a vehicle
that exploded in the parking lot. So yeah, Pakistan, man,
that's no good. What else? The United Nations is reporting

(01:52:45):
a surge of migrant children entering Mexico destines for the
United States. What do you know. Of course they see
sleepy Joe building hotels and providing teachers and a free
health air and free food and free everything, and they're like, yeah,
let's go. Why And wouldn't you do the same thing.

(01:53:09):
Of course you would, That's what I'm saying. You have
to turn that. This is one. This is like the
vagrancy problem. Once one tent pops up in the park,
you have to get rid of it immediately. Otherwise, what's
the next thing you have? The next thing? You got
two tents, and then four tents and an hundred. If
they would have just put in a policy of immediately,

(01:53:30):
you know, checking the kids out, making sure everybody's well fed,
give them some booster shots, and put them right back
on a plane, put them right back, then this would
have been futile. And this isn't just me saying this.
All these people are being interviewed at the border by
Unavision and all the Spanish speaking media. All these people
are saying like, oh, yeah, I wouldn't have done this

(01:53:51):
during the Trump administration, but Biden said to come on in,
and he has through actions and words. And the number
of children arriving in Mexico seeking to continue United States
increased ninefold from January to March of this year. About

(01:54:11):
two hundred and seventy five enter every day. That's just
unaccompanied minors. They have about thirty five hundred at the
end of March, from three hundred and eighty to the
start of the year. And yeah, they just can't control
the border and they're just not going to because there's
there's no stick. You know, you got the carrot and

(01:54:34):
the stick, there's no stick, there's no punishment. If you
make it here, then you're welcomed with shelter, transportation, food, healthcare,
and education. So why wouldn't you do it? Yes, it's
unclear about what Mexico is going to do. Human smugglers

(01:54:57):
across Central America are making huge money. I can't remember
the exact dollar amount per day. I did a story
on the podcast World News with BK a few weeks ago.
I covered the border pretty regularly and it was a
staggering amount of money per day that the cartels are making,
and everybody who goes to the US Mexico border most
assuredly is paying the cartel. Now, luckily Joe has not

(01:55:23):
lost his mind completely. We still have kept in place
that order called Title forty two that was introduced by
the Trump administration, and that means we can turn back
people immediately as a health measure amid the pandemic normally
under normal circumstances. If you don't know, we could only

(01:55:44):
do that to Mexican nationals. We can if we caught
a Mexican national to border. We could immediately turn them
back into port them. If it was anybody other than
a Mexican and they called them otms other than Mexican,
they under federal law would have to be given a
court date and cut loose to be shown up for
an asylum hearing. But now, because of this Title forty two,

(01:56:07):
we are able to turn back people because it's considered
an emergency. Now Joe Biden has kept Title forty two.
On the other hand, he is not using Title forty
two very often on unaccompanied miners or families. I believe
most families are still allegedly being turned back. But who

(01:56:28):
even freaking knows At this point, can I say? I
can say freaking right. You know I've been good so far.
You guys. Usually the podcast is a little bit more
r rated, so I gotta be careful. And how about this.
Crypto investors get a little bit of a shock. I
know a lot of you guys are into the bitcoin
and the doge coin. And no, I'm not putting all

(01:56:52):
my portfolio in the doge I know the guys don't
chase trends as your financial advisor. Yes, I do have
a fine social justice where your college education in finance.
I would tell you, I know it's easy to look
at all the gains that people make, but don't chase trends.
Don't get into something late. When the seven to eleven
clerk is talking about a stock, that's the time to
get out. It's definitely not the time to get in.

(01:57:14):
I'll tell you that right now. But anyway, the Ministry
of Corporate Affairs in India has, after weeks of speculation,
circulated a draft bill that would ban cryptocurrencies. Yeah, it
has been delayed, but this could be a huge blow
to Bitcoin, another cryptocurrency. The draft bill seeks to prohibit mining, holding, selling, trade, issuance,

(01:57:41):
the disposal or use of cryptocurrency. If you don't adhere
to it, ten years in prison. How about that one
for your portfolio? Okay, guys, more after this on the
Jesse Kelly Show, Eden Pure Thunderstorm, listen to me. I

(01:58:14):
have had air purifiers forever because I have terrible allergies
and the other ones I had would help a little,
and so I had to have them, and they were
always the big ones. You can picture the big two
or three foot air purifiers that sit in your room
and sound like an airplane taking off. Then somebody told
me about the Eden Pure thunderstorm. It is quiet. It

(01:58:37):
only takes up a tiny amount of space because it
just sits in the wall outlet. Only this thing has
actually taken care of my allergies completely. It also kills
and prevents the spreading of mold and fungus and mildew.
It takes smells out of the air. It took the
smells out of my son's room. If you only knew

(01:58:58):
what a feat that was, go to Eden pure deals
dot com. That's Eden pure deals dot com used the
code word Jesse at checkout. That gets you ten bucks off.

(01:59:25):
All right back here on the Jesse Kelly Show. B
k here filling in. Let's keep going to some quick stories,
you guys. Let's talk about just tesla crash in Texas.
Do you hear about this? Two men were killed after
a tesla they were in crashed and caught fire, and
apparently neither one of the men was behind the wheel.

(01:59:46):
And they said that they do believe the officials, all
the investigators say that they believed that nobody was driving
the vehicle at the time of the crash. Now, the
vehicle was a twenty nineteen Tesla models going at a
high rate of spe around eleven thirty at night and
went off the road hit a tree. The men were
fifty nine and sixty nine years old. One guy was

(02:00:08):
in the front passenger seat and one was in the
rear seat, and they were apparently minutes before the crash.
The guy's wives watched them leave, said they wanted to
go for a drive, and they were talking about the
vehicles autopilot autopilot feature. Guys, I loved I loved the Tesla.
I've strongly thought about getting one. I would never be

(02:00:31):
comfortable using the autopilot without I don't know my hands
on the wheel. And then what's the point, you know,
I just I can't see myself like just chilling in
a car going like seventy five down the freeway. And
then it was hard to put out the fire because
it took four hours to put out the fire, and

(02:00:51):
it took more than thirty thousand gallons of water. And
they think it's because the crazy batteries that these things
have and it's unbelievable technologlogy. But yeah, they got in
contact with Tesla and they were there's some mystery to
this now because Elon Musk basically said that they haven't

(02:01:19):
really commented. They have not released a statement about the crash,
but it's CEO Elon Musk. Tesla's CEO did put out
a responding tweet earlier in the week. He wrote that
the car's owner had not purchased Tesla's quote full self

(02:01:41):
driving end quote capability that is a ten thousand dollars
add on that the company says can steer the car
through lane changes, slow down at red lights, and park automatically.
And he says that the autopilot was not enabled because here, here,
and here's the controversy, because Tesla's instructions explain that autopilot

(02:02:07):
still requires what they call active supervision. A driver must
agree to keep their hands on the wheel to turn
on autopilot. Right. But now, a story that just came
out right before I started recording this, I looked into
I was checking up on consumer reports. Said in testing,
they said they could get a twenty twenty Tesla model.

(02:02:29):
Why at least to drive even with no one in
the driver's seat. Do they see how they could do this? Oh? Well,
they said they tricked the system. They said they put
a weighted chain on the wheel, and they kept the
seat belt buckled on the driver's seat. So, yeah, can
you There's no way I would crawl into the backseat
of Tesla and be like, oh yeah, I go eighty

(02:02:50):
miles an hour down this road. No way, okay. A
few other quick stories. A Supreme Court has upheld life
without parole sentences for juveniles. They shot down a Mississippi
man's bid to overturnal life sentence he got for killing
his grandfather at the age fifteen. The majority ruled six

(02:03:11):
to three that a judge does not have to find
a defendant beyond rehabilitation to issue such a term. This
was in the case of at the time fifteen year
old Brett Jones. Nice neck tattoo and he fatally stabbed
his sixty eight year old grandfather, who's convicted of murder

(02:03:32):
in two thousand and five, sentenced to life without parole
and re sentenced to twenty fifteen m Yeah. See, I would.
I'm old fashioned. I would much rather go with physical punishment.
I think it's far crueler actually to lock somebody up,
you know, go back to the lash, go back to
the you know, the gallows or the you know, the stocks.

(02:03:52):
The stocks is a good one, because you know, you
stick a guy in the stocks, you know, that's when
you put your head and hands, you know, through the
wood board, and everybody could just walk by and like
laugh at you and stuff. Very humiliating, I think, I mean,
dudes would rather do ten years in prison than be
subject to like one week in the stocks. What else.
A police officer of the Norfolk Police Department in Virginia

(02:04:16):
was fired for giving twenty five dollars to Kyle Rittenhouse's
defense fund. You remember Kyle Rittenhouse. He was the teenager
charged with killing two people last year during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Well,
Lieutenant William Kelly, his twenty year career is over after
twenty twenty five donation. Yeah, this is this is pretty

(02:04:42):
messed up. He was an internal affairs too, and they
basically this came as a group hacked into the go
fund me or whatever it was, whatever whatever fundraising sight
he used, and they got a list of names in
the media was going around confronting all these people and

(02:05:02):
publishing their names. And this is notable because Twitter supposedly
as a hacked materials policy, which is nonsense. Oh it
was give Send go was the crowdfunding site. But yeah,
this watchdog group hacked the site, or they said they
got it from somebody who hacked the site, and they
shared the materials to New York Times. The New York
Times out of the guy, and they said, basically is

(02:05:26):
because he used his work email. But please, I'm sure
other people have used their work emails to donate to stuff.
But because those are not as unwoke as writtenhouse, then
it's fine. And yeah, you just got to be careful.
Don't use your work email for anything, that's for sure. Okay, guys,
Well you back to finish up strong on a Jesse

(02:06:52):
A public service announcement brought to you by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the AD Council. All right, guys,
last segment. B K here sitting in for Jesse. And
you know I like to finish on a high note.
Here we go. I vaguely remember this story. This is

(02:07:14):
out here in California and Orange County, and yes, a
twenty two year old burglar has pleaded guilty. I know
what you're thinking, Well, that's boring. Well listen to what
happened though. This was Jonathan Jose Ruise of Orange County
broke into a home in twenty eighteen. He was nineteen
years old at the time, and it was apparently a

(02:07:34):
female home. She Ruez stole underwear from the victim and
then ate their cookies and drank their milk. And then
Jose apparently got a little worked up and he decided
to download some pornography using the victim's laptop and take

(02:07:57):
a little break, if you know what I mean. And
Lease who were able to easily identify him from the
DNA evidence that was left on the device's keyboard. Right.
Thank you guys can probably track what I'm laying out
here for you. Yes, what you're thinking is correct. I'll
just put it that way. There's your big finish. I

(02:08:18):
really want to thank Jesse for letting me hang out here,
really like our time together on Tuesdays. And thank you
