Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a magnificent Tuesday. Here's what we have on tap this hour.
About a half hour from now, we're going to talk
to b k I shouldn't say about a half hour.
It's almost exactly a half hour. A half hour from now,
(00:32):
We're going to talk from talk to bk Our, you know,
super ninja type guy. Talk to him about iron and
Venezuela and everything else. I'm gonna get to this in
a couple of minutes. Here, why Democrats are in a bind?
I laid out our problems in the first hour. Now
let's talk about their problems. They're plentiful. We have all
kinds of emails we have to get to. We still
(00:53):
have to talk about the Democrat Party and fraud and
fraudulent voters and everything else, and oh that and so
much more. I mean up to night on the world
famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now, let me give you a
couple things here. First, abolishing ice, just on its face,
(01:18):
that's insane, right, you have to have some sort of
a law enforcement agency that deports people in the United
States of America, that's ice. We don't. We don't have
anyone else, So abolishing ice for any sane human being
(01:44):
that would be a bridge too far. And in fact
Americans agree it would be a bridge too far. But
do you want to know what percentage of Democrats support
abolishing ice? Seventy seven percent According to a new poll
that's out, seventy seven percent of Democrats want to abolish ice. Okay,
(02:13):
we know because of how politics works. Certainly, it's how
it works in a constitutional republic, a representative republic like ours, Member,
we're not a democracy. How politics works is if I
represent you, or I want to represent you as anything,
as a congressman, senator, whatever, governor, I have to I'm
(02:37):
almost I shouldn't call it a slave, but I have
to go with what the majority of my voters want
or I won't stay in office anymore. So if I'm
a Democrat, I can read these poll numbers.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Two.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Believe me, this isn't some special poll that only I
have access to. Every elected Democrat in the country read
the same poll that I'm reading to you right now.
This one was done by politics and poll tracker, But
I think it's a you goov poll. But anyway, so
I can read these numbers. Let's say I'm a Democrat
(03:15):
from a blue area, a blue city, or a blue county,
or a blue state, a blue congressional district. I read
these numbers, all right, So it's a blue area where
a Democrat will be elected on this issue abolishing ice.
Seventy seven percent of the people who keep me in
(03:37):
office want me to abolish ice. Even if I even
if I think that policy is bonkers, I almost have
to go along with it, right, Donald Trump, let's use
our own side as an example here. Donald Trump is
(03:59):
not pro life. He's not. We don't have to argue
about it. He is on camera several times throughout his
life being not pro life. Okay, Donald Trump has a
couple of times gone vocally wishy washy on the subject
(04:21):
of abortion, But he doesn't ever come right out and
say I'm pro choice. Just kill the baby if you
don't want it. Why, well, he would get destroyed for that.
He would never have won the presidency again. And Donald
Trump is a very headstrong human being, a very open
honest human being about what he wants, about what he thinks.
(04:41):
So you could even argue he's too honest sometimes, but
on that issue, because he needs the GOP voting base
to put him in power and keep him in power
on that issue, the best he can give is a
statement every now and then that makes you think he's
still not with you. You and I both know Donald
(05:02):
Trump's not pro life, But on that issue, Donald Trump
doesn't really have a choice because eighty percent of the
GOP voting base is if you're an elected Democrat, abolishing
ice may be insane to you, but that doesn't matter
(05:24):
because the Democrat Demons who vote for you want it.
Why do you think they all talk like this. This
is not only a United States Senator, This is a
United States Senator from a swing state, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
This person is clearly not someone that should be in
law enforcement. And I don't care what he had dealt
with before. I don't care what kind of training he
had before. No professional law enforcement, no true person that
actually has any type of courage would have decided to
do that. That man is a coward.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
This is the top Democrat in the House of Representatives,
the Keem Jeffrey.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
In the context of the upcoming Homeland Security bill, House
appropriators on the Democratic side are pushing aggressive accountability measures
to try to rain ice in because they are completely
and totally out of control.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
This is the governor of Virginia.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And what we are.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Seeing day in and day out when people are going
in wearing masks terrifying communities, is that they're breaking down
that trust and it is actually impeding the ability to
keep our community safe to enforce the law.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We'll come back to the mask thing in a moment.
This is the Attorney General of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The deployment of thousands of armed mask DHS agents to
Minnesota has done our.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
State serious harm.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin
Cities and Minnesota, and it must stop.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
We'll get back to the mask thing. Like I said,
if you're a Democrat politician, you are forced at this
point in time to take a position that is horrifying
to the majority of Americans because your Democrat voting base
demands it, absolutely positively demands it. I love this one.
(07:18):
This is from an article here. Quote democrats. This is
a This is a from a Democrat think tank. Okay,
a Democrat think tank. Quote. Democrats need to drop the
abolish ice political slogan if they have a hope of
winning back the majority in Congress, a center left think
(07:40):
tank is warning Third Way. That's the think tank, in
a memo to Democrats shared first with NBC News, warned
Democrats against talking and extremes in the wake of the
Kighi charged days following the Ice shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
The impulse is a emotional The slogan is simple, but
(08:03):
politically it's lethal, a memo written by Sarah Pierce and
Lenney Ericsson. Democrats also have those pull numbers as well. Again,
they have to walk a tight rope. And just like
the tranny stuff, the tightrope Democrats now have to walk,
(08:27):
it's not possible. It's just not possible. It's it would
be like trying to walk that tightrope in a tornado.
You have to do it, but it can't be done.
The tightrope for you new listeners is always this. If
you're a Democrat politician in America in the year twenty
(08:48):
twenty six, your voting base is demonic and communist. And
when they want to burn the whole country down, and
they they want to know that you are going to
do that for them. You're gonna burn everything down, right,
You're gonna destroy everything. Right, you're gonna open up the border, Right,
You're gonna They want to know. Democrat voters need that
(09:10):
assurance from their politicians that you are as radical of
a nutjob communist as they are. But if you want
to win elections in purple areas, if you want to
win national elections, you can't freak out the normies with
abolish ice. Normies are mortified by the things the Democrat
(09:34):
primary voter wants. That puts Democrat politicians and want to
be politicians in an impossible situation. And I think that
is fantastic. I think it's great. What Chris, I'm allowed
to enjoy my enemies suffering. What Chris, It's not because
(09:57):
I'm a bad person. No, No, these are whole horrible people.
They want horrible things. If they are suffering, because they
want horrible things, I am allowed to take some joy
in that. So look, shut up. That's all I'm saying.
It's wonderful. The Democrat politician you hate the most, they
(10:20):
lay awake at night thinking about how to message this,
and I love that so much. But this, actually, I'm glad.
I'm glad Chris said something about this, because that reminds me.
Zip recruiter is here to help you find a better employee.
Zip recruiter has been helping employers find better employees for
(10:43):
a long time. Why is it the number one hiring site?
Why is that the case? Because it makes it easy.
You're an employer. You don't have time, you don't have weeks,
you don't have months. You can't make a thousand phone calls,
sift through a stack of resumes a mile high. Nobody
has that time. You have a business to run, so
stop wasting time and stop wasting money. You can invite
(11:08):
the top candidates for your job immediately, the top candidates,
They'll be put in front of you immediately. The most
ridiculous statistic I think I've ever heard in my life
is that four out of five employers find somebody quality
on the first day, the first day. Try it free
at ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse.
(11:34):
We'll get to some emails.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Next the Jesse Kelly Show, I like it returns.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Next it is the Jesse Kelly Show. Speaking of Kamali Harris,
I wonder what she is up to today. Anyway, Remember
you can email the show. Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.
Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. I still think my
Gala mask idea is a solid idea. I just I
(12:03):
need to find a better way to sell it to
AB When I get home, I feel like maybe I
didn't sell it well. I'm I've got about another what
how long? How much long do we have? I know
we have BK coming up in ten minutes. We've got
an hour and a half and then I'm heading home.
I'm going to come up with something. I'm gonna get her.
I am Chris, I'm gonna get her to buy in. Hey,
Bronco Ryder, put the spurs on those mules in the
(12:26):
media and rake them good. How about asking how they
enabled the fraudsters to steal from the truly needy individuals
and trusting the taxpayer. I understand what you're saying, and
we're going to get to more of that fraud in
a moment. But always remember that the American media isn't media,
not the mainstream, not the corporate press, the NBC News,
(12:48):
the Washington posts of the world, the USA today, It's
not media in any sense of the word. And I
probably should stop using that term. I don't know that
I will, but I probably should stop using that term.
It's not media. They are warriors for the revolution, and
that's how they see themselves, and any story of any
(13:12):
kind about anything will only be looked at through the
lens of the revolution. And the way they report on
it or don't report on it, that will only be
done through the lens of does this help the communist
revolution in the United States of America. That's why they
(13:33):
do what they do. So you can call them hypocrites
to your blue in the face. You can call them
liars till you're blue in the face. It will not
affect them at all because they don't actually see themselves
as journalists. They see themselves as warriors for the revolution.
And we've always we've thought, or at least maybe we've
(13:55):
hoped that if we just browbeat them enough with their
lies that they'll change their ways. But they don't care
about lying. You're never going to shame a communist for lying.
He knows he's lying, he's trying to lie. That's the idea.
This is Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Listen to
(14:15):
this about that ice incident.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
I see a woman maybe naive sitting in a car
thinking she has to do something and she's going to
block something, and a wildly extreme overreaction to that small
act of defiance.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Small act of defiance. Let me ask you something. Have
you ever, in person or maybe in video somewhere, have
you ever seen the results of a car running into
a human being. I have more than once, just because
(15:00):
we've done so much road tripping across the country. I
had to sit there and watch while they tried to resuscitate.
The last one I've seen, dude was I believe former military.
He had one of those old kind of Vietnam looking
military jackets on, and I was the second one on
(15:21):
the scene. The first one, by the grace of God,
was an EMS guy who just he was out of uniform,
but he did everything right. But it didn't exactly take
a doctor to walk up to that guy and know
that that guy was gone. Because a four thousand pounds
(15:46):
anything hitting you two hundred pound person or two fifty
if your Jasmine Crockett hitting you at any speed is
going to result in an ugly, ugly, ugly scene. It's
like you dropping a shoe on an ant. That's what
(16:06):
it's like now. It's sold by the communists as a
small act of defiance. Driving over someone with your car
mangles to the human body in ways that are unimaginable.
And I'm this is the point where I would normally
(16:28):
tell you, Hey, I want you to go look it up.
Go look up an X ray, go look. I don't
want you to look it up. I don't want you
to find a video of the aftermath of somebody getting
hit with a car. It's gruesome. So does John Stewart
know that I see.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
A woman, maybe naive, sitting in a car thinking she
has to do something and she's going to block something,
and a wildly extreme reaction to that small act of defiance.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
He know it's what I just said is true, But
that doesn't help the revolution. Everything is simply looked at
through the lens of the revolution. We can scream that
they're liberal, we can scream that they're liars, that they're hypocrites,
we can scream We've been screaming this for years. For
my entire twenty year involvement in politics. I got involved
(17:28):
in politics after I got out of the Marines. Twenty
years of involvement in politics, we've been calling them liars
We've been calling them hypocrites. We've been pointing out video evidence,
factual evidence that what they're saying is not true, and
they haven't changed their ways even little. Why they're trying
(17:49):
to lie. You calling them a liar doesn't affect someone
who's trying to deceive. It's about the revolution. We'll talk
to BK speaking of revolutions, what's happening in Iran? How
capable is Iron? Talk about some other stuff too.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Next, he doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. And I thought it
was a great Tuesday, but apparently it got even better
because I guess BKA finally developed some musical taste, joining
me now host of the Wonderful World News with BK
podcasts and of course Air Force PJ BK. BK. When
(18:35):
exactly did you start listening to decent music and drop
all that rage metal stuff?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Jesse. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
I have not dropped the rage metal stuff. However, since
it is twenty twenty six, Jesse, I'm turning over new leaf.
There's no more torturing of my friends with music that
they dislike strongly. I consider you a friend. And so
there we go. This will last only, by the way,
until the next time I come on your show.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, fair enough, I have to ask, and I
already hate myself before we get to even get into
the news. I hate myself for asking. But what is
the BK twenty twenty six New Year's Revolution resolution? We
already know about the ap vanes, We got all the Yeah,
what what is the thing you're doing this year?
Speaker 8 (19:25):
It's a good question. I suppose I did set up
personal goal on the Patreon for my podcast Jesse. As
you know, I don't. I don't accept any kind of
advertising or sponsors. It's a one hundred percent listener supported
show and I'm very very proud of that, and I
have a certain number in mind of patrons i'd like
to have at the end of the year. So that's
my goal, and I try to work every week and
try to give people the best possible show I can get.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So that's it so far. Well, how do people sign
up for it?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
You got to go to patreon dot com and type
in BK actual Jesse and it's amazing. I only ask people, Hey,
if you enjoy the podcast, you know, a pledge of
Bucker to a I mean Jesse. As you know, the
hardest thing in the world is to make money on
something that people can get for free. Right, There's no
kay Wall on the podcast or anything like that. So
these are people who really support the idea of focus
(20:13):
on international news from from somebody who doesn't whitewash anything.
So I really appreciate all my beloved patrons.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
One or two bucks a month ain't that much, is it?
All right?
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Non?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
BK actual? I want to talk about that before we
get into other news. This is something that civilian types
can be confused by because they hear military guys refer
to themselves as this a lot BK actual, chaos actual.
What's what the actual?
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Well, it's it's okay. So basically it's to designate the
actual commander on the ground of a unit.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Right.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Oftentimes, like say my unit is BK okay, the twelve
man squad BK is going on a hit, right, can't
stand But you want back at the talk. You want
to talk to me, the team leader. So instead of
saying BK BK this is the talk over, you might
say BK actual, and that means you're just looking for
(21:13):
the ground commander. You're not trying to talk to their
RTO or radio telephone operator. You're not talking trying to
talk to the radio guy. You're trying to talk to
the man himself. So that's a very short concise version
of what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Gotcha, BK. Why were Venezuelans bleeding from their eyeballs and ears?
Apparently when Delta Forest Food fast Rope down some helicopters.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Okay, first of all, I saw that little story going
around Twitter. I saw no attribution to it whatsoever. I
cannot take anything coming out of that with with with
any sort of seriousness. I haven't seen that verified or anything.
We do have some sort of sonic weapons. I suppose
(21:56):
it's possible that it could have been deployed from the aircraft,
but I I have my doubts that people are bleeding
from their eyeballs through some my serious weapon. But ay,
you know what, I've been out of the military for
a long time, Jesse. Could this could very well be
a new tactic and a new soop on target. I
don't know, But if any people out there are still
involved at the Jaysock level Joint Special Operations Command, please
(22:18):
dm me because I'd love to hear more about this tactic.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Okay, talk to us for a moment about an operation
like that. Obviously not that one specifically, and I'm sure
you know things that you're not allowed to say, and
that's totally fine. But an operation like that involves so
many moving parts BK. And for people there's certainly civilians,
people who don't have any experience with this, it's it's
almost it's awe inspiring that you can have that many
(22:45):
different units, different moving parts at Navy, Air Force that
are but that much coordination. It boggles the mind. How
does this play out well? Jesse?
Speaker 8 (22:56):
First of all, are the United States military is by far,
it's not even a close race, the finest military in
the world. We all know this. This takes incredible dedication,
incredible professionalism. I think one, we have a military culture,
for lack of a better word. You know, America has
(23:17):
founded out of rebellion. I think we've always had that
streak in US, and I just think there's something about
the American fighting man, Jesse. As you know, we have
eighteen year old privates who have won medals of honor
because of the heroism they have displayed. I mean, foreign
leaders have said it many times. They watch the United
States are like, where does one find such men? Some
(23:38):
kids their stories about two nineteen year olds manning a
checkpoint and a guy in a v bed, a vehicle
born ied is headed straight for him and they know
they're gonna die. Did they turn and run? No they
did not. They fricking emptied those magazines towards that guy,
and they both paid the price. You know why, because
they were ordered to guard that checkpoint to protect their men,
(24:00):
and by god, they were going to guard that checkpoint
to protect their men. You just don't have that. I
don't know if it's a cultural thing. You do not
have that in other countries. And I credit a lot
of the training, especially the Marine Corps, with two brothers
having been Marine Corps officers. They break you down and
they build you up to believe that you are the best.
You are fighting for not only your country, but the
(24:22):
man to your left and right, and Americans believe that.
I don't know. And meanwhile, I don't know what the
Russian military is like. I mean, my god, Jesse, they're
doing cavalry charges on horseback over there.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's a freaking joke.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
And we have the finest military in the world. I've
seen people on Twitter speculating, well, it's not possible that
Delta could take out thirty Cuban bodyguards with no injuries,
And I'm like, okay, well, you know nothing fort of
all that special operations. I'd be surprised, first of all,
Jesse if those Cuban bodyguards even had loaded weapons, or
(24:58):
even if those weapons had been queened. People have no
idea what the US military is capable of, which, hey,
that's a good thing. Let them find out the hard way.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All right. Back to the question I asked originally before
I sidetracked you. The level of coordination is amazing. How
does one begin to piece all this together?
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Well, that is the job, of course, of the you know,
the guys of stars on their shoulders, the generals, right,
and they're very highly educated. And this is all goes
back to what we call combined arms. The combined arms
means you know, air assets, ground assets, cyber assets, all
working injunction with each other to accomplish a single mission.
(25:40):
There are very few countries in the world who are
even capable of having a combined arms system like we do.
With the level of exact coordination that we do and
let's face it, I mean, China allegedly is capable of that.
Have they faced a shot and anger in fifty years?
I don't know. I don't think they have. I know
we have. We're battlehearted. We have lots of practice thanks
(26:02):
to the global war and terror. Whether or not you
agree with that political decision, but the fact is we
spent twenty years just burying dudes overseas and we learned
a lot of lessons. So that's what it's all about.
It's all about the education of our senior officers, and
they are able to visualize this grand scheme, the cyber
attacks to turn off the lights. We have the aircraft
(26:25):
who's destroying the anti aircraft guns? If they were even
available at the time, I've heard, you know, maybe they
laid down and didn't even bother. But we have this
combined arms trait and we practice it over and over
and over and over again for weeks at a time,
and that's you can see that in the execution. It
works flawlessly.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That sure does b kay. Do you have another ten
minutes for us here? I have other things I want
to get into as far as Iran about China's capabilities.
You got another spot for Okay, b KA is going
to hang on for a quick second and we're going
to come right back. We're gonna learn a little bit
more about potential iran things and other things going on
around the globe before we get back to be Kay.
(27:09):
I know, listening to that meathead may make you want
to go grab some workout equipment and start lifting, and
I would encourage you to do so. But then you're
probably thinking, but my shoulder's gonna hurt, my knee's gonna hurt.
But Jesse, I've got a bad back. I can't fix
your back. But I will tell you this, there is
(27:32):
relief from the chronic pain that is holding you back
from going for a walk or doing a pull up,
or playing golf, or or cooking dinner. Relief factor is
there for that We always need to seek out natural
solutions first. Drug solutions should be the last resort. That's
(27:55):
what relief factor is here for. One hundred percent drug
free a unique form of natural ingredients. It is a supplement.
You take it every day, It builds in your system
over time, and soon you're doing pull ups just like
BK is. Maybe not quite as many, but just like
BK is go to relief factor dot com and try it.
(28:17):
Just get three weeks of it. Just try it, or
you can call one eight hundred the number four Relief.
We'll be back, Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Vaccian.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
We are back with BK. Host of World Nudes with
BK former Air Force PJ. All Right, BKA, I know
that you were not super hot on Pete hag Seth
as Secretary of War, certainly not as hot as I
was on him. But have your views on that changed
at all in light of recent events?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
I will say Jesse that I'm I'm I will be
grudgingly saying he didn't screw something.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Up totally, So that's good, you know.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
I obviously it's no secret I was not a fan
of the pick, and even less so after the Signal
Gate controversy. Just sloppy op sec. You know, it's just unacceptable.
But I always loved how he pushed the morale. I
love how he pushes the TT and everything else. So yeah,
and he's there, and there's nothing I can do about anyway.
(29:25):
So I'm rooting for the guy, I really am. I
just don't want him to do anything stupid, that's all.
I don't think that's too much ask.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
B kay Iran. It's one of those things. Obviously, we're
far superior in every way militarily, but people look at
the size of their force and they think, wow, that's
a big army. But then we just recently went and
bombed their nuclear program to smooth the rings without losing
a man, and Israel's over there slapping him around every
other day. And now they're kind of looked at as ridiculous.
(29:53):
You have mobs of people in the streets, what are they?
Speaker 8 (29:58):
You know, it's funny. I said the same thing for
years about Iran. I called them a paper tiger. The
only thing they were capable of doing is going to
all these crazed Islamic countries like Afghanistan, like Pakistan and
training those guys how to use some weapons and the
strap of bomb on their chest. They were never this
super soldier, freaking nuclear threat anything like that. They were
(30:24):
always a joke and they were fully exposed as that.
Like you said, after that twelve day war, there was
nothing they could do. They were completely humiliated by US
and the Israelis, and they are flailing right now. They
have an economic crisis that's happening. They have mass riots
in the street. I mean conservative estimates Jesse that hundreds
and hundreds of protesters have been killed. Unarmed protests have
(30:47):
been murdered by security forces, and they're cracking down even
more so. I feel very badly for the people over there.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Trump has indicated that help is on the way of
some now. In order to do what we did in Venezuela,
we had obviously, we had forces down there, We had
our navy parked outside of the place, we were recounting
the whole place. We're not doing that any ran. It's
not that we don't know anything, but we don't have
that over there. What could we even do to help
(31:17):
those protesters?
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Well, again, you know, with Trump, you got to kind
of take everything he says with a grain of salt, right.
I mean, you know, it's famously you could ask Trump like, hey,
you know, what are we going to do about the Moon?
You'd be like, the Moon, I don't know. I'm open
all possibilities. It's fantastic, you know what I mean. And
then either you just don't you don't know, But that's
part because he keeps you on your toes. I'm sure
(31:40):
there are assets on the grounds there, but the people
overthrew several governments in Iran, and I fear that they're
going to have to be the ones to do it again.
I mean, we stand by ready to help, but I
don't know. It's it's very, very tough. But the thing,
the fact is there. Their currency has fallen hugely against
(32:04):
the US dollar, and the lights are going out.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Jesse.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
When the lights are going out and you have no money,
that's when revolutions happen, and that's exactly what's happening in Iran.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Speaking of lights going out, let's go to a place
you talk about often, Africa. It seems like every time
you turn on the I was about to say turn
on the news, but let's be honest, every time you
pick up their phone, there's a new genocide, there's a
new famine, there's a new bundle of horrors happening at
various African countries. What's the latest and worst in that
(32:34):
continent that can just never seem to get attacked together? Well,
you know, I.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Ask myself the same question all the time I cover
Africa every single week, multiple countries. I really struggle to
find an answer. We all know that Africa has tons
and tons of natural resources. Rare earth, minerals, oil, gas,
everything else. They seem to have everything one would need,
(33:00):
but they just can't get it together. Now, part of
that is the fact that they have a massively powerful
Islamic insurgency all over the continent. Really that's part of
the problem. And they have just massive corruption. And these
leaders don't really, I believe, see corruption as a bad thing,
you know, as long as they get their cut. We've
(33:23):
seen these African dictators for years, their gold plated ak's
and their rolling voices, and people just kind of go
along with it. I don't I don't have a good
answer to it. I will say that it does appear
that we take all the best hearts and minds from Africa.
As you know, Jesse, You know, the Nigerian Americans are
(33:44):
probably one of the most successful groups in the United States.
And sometimes I think, like, well, you know what, maybe
maybe we just are poaching like everybody good there. I
honestly I'm at a loss kind of myself.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
B Kay. We've only got about a minute left on that.
This Somali corruption stories obviously taking off like wildfire. And
what I've tried to explain to people is there are
cultures in the world. I'm not even genuinely trying to
be insulting like I usually am. There are cultures in
the world where theft is a way of life. It's
not morally wrong. You would never in a million years
(34:17):
see a dollar and not steal it. It's what you do.
And that's what people have a hard time understanding about
dumps like Somalia.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Yeah, they do, and it's hardly limited to Somalia for example.
It's a great example. So I for to graduate, I
had to take three semesters of a language. I took
Russian at San Diego State. My professor was born and
raised in Moscow, and she used to tell us that
graft is just a way of life, and the people
have grown up with it. In other words, if you
get a parking ticket, you know, you could fight it
(34:46):
in the courts, but you'll never get anywhere. So it's
just a lot easier to go down there and slip
the chick behind the counter twenty rubles to have it
thrown out. And you add that up fifty times a day,
every single day, and people just get comfortable with it,
and that becomes part of the culture. And I agree
with you. I think there are certain cultures like that,
and they have to be reprogrammed to know that this
(35:10):
is morally bad and morally unacceptable in the United States
of America.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
He is BKA. Let's get those Patreon numbers up. World
News with BK. It's the podcast Goga Float him a
Bucker two a month. I think you will really really
enjoy his podcast. I know you all enjoy him on
this show. I know the emails certainly reflect that. My brother,
I appreciate you. Happy New Year? How about that? Chris,
(35:36):
let me ask you something now. I know we're not
going to go right, but don't you want to see Russia.
It's so corrupt and so terrible, and I know we'd
end up in a gooleag somewhere, so I don't want
to go, but I want to see it. There's so
much history. What Chris. I know. I know we're corrupt too,
(35:57):
but we're not that corrupt. And it's more of a
They're a hostile state, so you don't have any real
diplomatic protection right now if they arrest you. We're killing
Russians in Ukraine at least our weapons are. It kind
of saddens me that I never get to see it.
I want to see it. I don't know why. I
don't even drink vodka anyway, we still have an hour
(36:21):
hangout
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Another hour of the Jesse Kelly Show on
a magnificent Tuesday. Here's what we have on tap this hour.
About a half hour from now, we're going to talk
to b k I shouldn't say about a half hour.
It's almost exactly a half hour. A half hour from now,
(00:32):
We're going to talk from talk to bk Our, you know,
super ninja type guy. Talk to him about iron and
Venezuela and everything else. I'm gonna get to this in
a couple of minutes. Here, why Democrats are in a bind?
I laid out our problems in the first hour. Now
let's talk about their problems. They're plentiful. We have all
kinds of emails we have to get to. We still
(00:53):
have to talk about the Democrat Party and fraud and
fraudulent voters and everything else, and oh that and so
much more. I mean up to night on the world
famous Jesse Kelly's Show. Now, let me give you a
couple things here. First, abolishing ice, just on its face,
(01:18):
that's insane, right, you have to have some sort of
a law enforcement agency that deports people in the United
States of America, that's ice. We don't. We don't have
anyone else, So abolishing ice for any sane human being
(01:44):
that would be a bridge too far. And in fact
Americans agree it would be a bridge too far. But
do you want to know what percentage of Democrats support
abolishing ice? Seventy seven percent According to a new poll
that's out, seventy seven percent of Democrats want to abolish ice. Okay,
(02:13):
we know because of how politics works. Certainly, it's how
it works in a constitutional republic, a representative republic like ours, Member,
we're not a democracy. How politics works is if I
represent you, or I want to represent you as anything,
as a congressman, senator, whatever, governor, I have to I'm
(02:37):
almost I shouldn't call it a slave, but I have
to go with what the majority of my voters want
or I won't stay in office anymore. So if I'm
a Democrat, I can read these poll numbers.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Two.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Believe me, this isn't some special poll that only I
have access to. Every elected Democrat in the country read
the same poll that I'm reading to you right now.
This one was done by politics and poll tracker, But
I think it's a you goov poll. But anyway, so
I can read these numbers. Let's say I'm a Democrat
(03:15):
from a blue area, a blue city, or a blue county,
or a blue state, a blue congressional district. I read
these numbers, all right, So it's a blue area where
a Democrat will be elected on this issue abolishing ice.
Seventy seven percent of the people who keep me in
(03:37):
office want me to abolish ice. Even if I even
if I think that policy is bonkers, I almost have
to go along with it, right, Donald Trump, let's use
our own side as an example here. Donald Trump is
(03:59):
not pro life. He's not. We don't have to argue
about it. He is on camera several times throughout his
life being not pro life. Okay, Donald Trump has a
couple of times gone vocally wishy washy on the subject
(04:21):
of abortion, But he doesn't ever come right out and
say I'm pro choice. Just kill the baby if you
don't want it. Why, well, he would get destroyed for that.
He would never have won the presidency again. And Donald
Trump is a very headstrong human being, a very open
honest human being about what he wants, about what he thinks.
(04:41):
So you could even argue he's too honest sometimes, but
on that issue, because he needs the GOP voting base
to put him in power and keep him in power
on that issue, the best he can give is a
statement every now and then that makes you think he's
still not with you. You and I both know Donald
(05:02):
Trump's not pro life, But on that issue, Donald Trump
doesn't really have a choice because eighty percent of the
GOP voting base is if you're an elected Democrat, abolishing
ice may be insane to you, but that doesn't matter
(05:24):
because the Democrat Demons who vote for you want it.
Why do you think they all talk like this. This
is not only a United States Senator, This is a
United States Senator from a swing state, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
This person is clearly not someone that should be in
law enforcement. And I don't care what he had dealt
with before. I don't care what kind of training he
had before. No professional law enforcement, no true person that
actually has any type of courage would have decided to
do that. That man is a coward.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
This is the top Democrat in the House of Representatives,
the Keem Jeffrey.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
In the context of the upcoming Homeland Security bill, House
appropriators on the Democratic side are pushing aggressive accountability measures
to try to rain ice in because they are completely
and totally out of control.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
This is the governor of Virginia.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And what we are.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Seeing day in and day out when people are going
in wearing masks terrifying communities, is that they're breaking down
that trust and it is actually impeding the ability to
keep our community safe to enforce the law.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We'll come back to the mask thing in a moment.
This is the Attorney General of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The deployment of thousands of armed mask DHS agents to
Minnesota has done our.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
State serious harm.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin
Cities and Minnesota, and it must stop.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
We'll get back to the mask thing. Like I said,
if you're a Democrat politician, you are forced at this
point in time to take a position that is horrifying
to the majority of Americans because your Democrat voting base
demands it, absolutely positively demands it. I love this one.
(07:18):
This is from an article here. Quote democrats. This is
a This is a from a Democrat think tank. Okay,
a Democrat think tank. Quote. Democrats need to drop the
abolish ice political slogan if they have a hope of
winning back the majority in Congress, a center left think
(07:40):
tank is warning Third Way. That's the think tank, in
a memo to Democrats shared first with NBC News, warned
Democrats against talking and extremes in the wake of the
Kighi charged days following the Ice shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
The impulse is a emotional The slogan is simple, but
(08:03):
politically it's lethal, a memo written by Sarah Pierce and
Lenney Ericsson. Democrats also have those pull numbers as well. Again,
they have to walk a tight rope. And just like
the tranny stuff, the tightrope Democrats now have to walk,
(08:27):
it's not possible. It's just not possible. It's it would
be like trying to walk that tightrope in a tornado.
You have to do it, but it can't be done.
The tightrope for you new listeners is always this. If
you're a Democrat politician in America in the year twenty
(08:48):
twenty six, your voting base is demonic and communist. And
when they want to burn the whole country down, and
they they want to know that you are going to
do that for them. You're gonna burn everything down, right,
You're gonna destroy everything. Right, you're gonna open up the border, Right,
You're gonna They want to know. Democrat voters need that
(09:10):
assurance from their politicians that you are as radical of
a nutjob communist as they are. But if you want
to win elections in purple areas, if you want to
win national elections, you can't freak out the normies with
abolish ice. Normies are mortified by the things the Democrat
(09:34):
primary voter wants. That puts Democrat politicians and want to
be politicians in an impossible situation. And I think that
is fantastic. I think it's great. What Chris, I'm allowed
to enjoy my enemies suffering. What Chris, It's not because
(09:57):
I'm a bad person. No, No, these are whole horrible people.
They want horrible things. If they are suffering, because they
want horrible things, I am allowed to take some joy
in that. So look, shut up. That's all I'm saying.
It's wonderful. The Democrat politician you hate the most, they
(10:20):
lay awake at night thinking about how to message this,
and I love that so much. But this, actually, I'm glad.
I'm glad Chris said something about this, because that reminds me.
Zip recruiter is here to help you find a better employee.
Zip recruiter has been helping employers find better employees for
(10:43):
a long time. Why is it the number one hiring site?
Why is that the case? Because it makes it easy.
You're an employer. You don't have time, you don't have weeks,
you don't have months. You can't make a thousand phone calls,
sift through a stack of resumes a mile high. Nobody
has that time. You have a business to run, so
stop wasting time and stop wasting money. You can invite
(11:08):
the top candidates for your job immediately, the top candidates,
They'll be put in front of you immediately. The most
ridiculous statistic I think I've ever heard in my life
is that four out of five employers find somebody quality
on the first day, the first day. Try it free
at ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse ZipRecruiter dot com slash Jesse.
(11:34):
We'll get to some emails.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Next the Jesse Kelly Show, I like it returns.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Next it is the Jesse Kelly Show. Speaking of Kamali Harris,
I wonder what she is up to today. Anyway, Remember
you can email the show. Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com.
Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow dot com. I still think my
Gala mask idea is a solid idea. I just I
(12:03):
need to find a better way to sell it to
AB When I get home, I feel like maybe I
didn't sell it well. I'm I've got about another what
how long? How much long do we have? I know
we have BK coming up in ten minutes. We've got
an hour and a half and then I'm heading home.
I'm going to come up with something. I'm gonna get her.
I am Chris, I'm gonna get her to buy in. Hey,
Bronco Ryder, put the spurs on those mules in the
(12:26):
media and rake them good. How about asking how they
enabled the fraudsters to steal from the truly needy individuals
and trusting the taxpayer. I understand what you're saying, and
we're going to get to more of that fraud in
a moment. But always remember that the American media isn't media,
not the mainstream, not the corporate press, the NBC News,
(12:48):
the Washington posts of the world, the USA today, It's
not media in any sense of the word. And I
probably should stop using that term. I don't know that
I will, but I probably should stop using that term.
It's not media. They are warriors for the revolution, and
that's how they see themselves, and any story of any
(13:12):
kind about anything will only be looked at through the
lens of the revolution. And the way they report on
it or don't report on it, that will only be
done through the lens of does this help the communist
revolution in the United States of America. That's why they
(13:33):
do what they do. So you can call them hypocrites
to your blue in the face. You can call them
liars till you're blue in the face. It will not
affect them at all because they don't actually see themselves
as journalists. They see themselves as warriors for the revolution.
And we've always we've thought, or at least maybe we've
(13:55):
hoped that if we just browbeat them enough with their
lies that they'll change their ways. But they don't care
about lying. You're never going to shame a communist for lying.
He knows he's lying, he's trying to lie. That's the idea.
This is Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Listen to
(14:15):
this about that ice incident.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
I see a woman maybe naive sitting in a car
thinking she has to do something and she's going to
block something, and a wildly extreme overreaction to that small
act of defiance.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Small act of defiance. Let me ask you something. Have
you ever, in person or maybe in video somewhere, have
you ever seen the results of a car running into
a human being. I have more than once, just because
(15:00):
we've done so much road tripping across the country. I
had to sit there and watch while they tried to resuscitate.
The last one I've seen, dude was I believe former military.
He had one of those old kind of Vietnam looking
military jackets on, and I was the second one on
(15:21):
the scene. The first one, by the grace of God,
was an EMS guy who just he was out of uniform,
but he did everything right. But it didn't exactly take
a doctor to walk up to that guy and know
that that guy was gone. Because a four thousand pounds
(15:46):
anything hitting you two hundred pound person or two fifty
if your Jasmine Crockett hitting you at any speed is
going to result in an ugly, ugly, ugly scene. It's
like you dropping a shoe on an ant. That's what
(16:06):
it's like now. It's sold by the communists as a
small act of defiance. Driving over someone with your car
mangles to the human body in ways that are unimaginable.
And I'm this is the point where I would normally
(16:28):
tell you, Hey, I want you to go look it up.
Go look up an X ray, go look. I don't
want you to look it up. I don't want you
to find a video of the aftermath of somebody getting
hit with a car. It's gruesome. So does John Stewart
know that I see.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
A woman, maybe naive, sitting in a car thinking she
has to do something and she's going to block something,
and a wildly extreme reaction to that small act of defiance.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
He know it's what I just said is true, But
that doesn't help the revolution. Everything is simply looked at
through the lens of the revolution. We can scream that
they're liberal, we can scream that they're liars, that they're hypocrites,
we can scream We've been screaming this for years. For
my entire twenty year involvement in politics. I got involved
(17:28):
in politics after I got out of the Marines. Twenty
years of involvement in politics, we've been calling them liars
We've been calling them hypocrites. We've been pointing out video evidence,
factual evidence that what they're saying is not true, and
they haven't changed their ways even little. Why they're trying
(17:49):
to lie. You calling them a liar doesn't affect someone
who's trying to deceive. It's about the revolution. We'll talk
to BK speaking of revolutions, what's happening in Iran? How
capable is Iron? Talk about some other stuff too.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Next, he doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right,
Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show. And I thought it
was a great Tuesday, but apparently it got even better
because I guess BKA finally developed some musical taste, joining
me now host of the Wonderful World News with BK
podcasts and of course Air Force PJ BK. BK. When
(18:35):
exactly did you start listening to decent music and drop
all that rage metal stuff?
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Jesse. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
I have not dropped the rage metal stuff. However, since
it is twenty twenty six, Jesse, I'm turning over new leaf.
There's no more torturing of my friends with music that
they dislike strongly. I consider you a friend. And so
there we go. This will last only, by the way,
until the next time I come on your show.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, fair enough, I have to ask, and I
already hate myself before we get to even get into
the news. I hate myself for asking. But what is
the BK twenty twenty six New Year's Revolution resolution? We
already know about the ap vanes, We got all the Yeah,
what what is the thing you're doing this year?
Speaker 8 (19:25):
It's a good question. I suppose I did set up
personal goal on the Patreon for my podcast Jesse. As
you know, I don't. I don't accept any kind of
advertising or sponsors. It's a one hundred percent listener supported
show and I'm very very proud of that, and I
have a certain number in mind of patrons i'd like
to have at the end of the year. So that's
my goal, and I try to work every week and
try to give people the best possible show I can get.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So that's it so far. Well, how do people sign
up for it?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
You got to go to patreon dot com and type
in BK actual Jesse and it's amazing. I only ask people, Hey,
if you enjoy the podcast, you know, a pledge of
Bucker to a I mean Jesse. As you know, the
hardest thing in the world is to make money on
something that people can get for free. Right, There's no
kay Wall on the podcast or anything like that. So
these are people who really support the idea of focus
(20:13):
on international news from from somebody who doesn't whitewash anything.
So I really appreciate all my beloved patrons.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
One or two bucks a month ain't that much, is it?
All right?
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Non?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
BK actual? I want to talk about that before we
get into other news. This is something that civilian types
can be confused by because they hear military guys refer
to themselves as this a lot BK actual, chaos actual.
What's what the actual?
Speaker 8 (20:42):
Well, it's it's okay. So basically it's to designate the
actual commander on the ground of a unit.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Right.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
Oftentimes, like say my unit is BK okay, the twelve
man squad BK is going on a hit, right, can't
stand But you want back at the talk. You want
to talk to me, the team leader. So instead of
saying BK BK this is the talk over, you might
say BK actual, and that means you're just looking for
(21:13):
the ground commander. You're not trying to talk to their
RTO or radio telephone operator. You're not talking trying to
talk to the radio guy. You're trying to talk to
the man himself. So that's a very short concise version
of what that means.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Gotcha, BK. Why were Venezuelans bleeding from their eyeballs and ears?
Apparently when Delta Forest Food fast Rope down some helicopters.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Okay, first of all, I saw that little story going
around Twitter. I saw no attribution to it whatsoever. I
cannot take anything coming out of that with with with
any sort of seriousness. I haven't seen that verified or anything.
We do have some sort of sonic weapons. I suppose
(21:56):
it's possible that it could have been deployed from the aircraft,
but I I have my doubts that people are bleeding
from their eyeballs through some my serious weapon. But ay,
you know what, I've been out of the military for
a long time, Jesse. Could this could very well be
a new tactic and a new soop on target. I
don't know, But if any people out there are still
involved at the Jaysock level Joint Special Operations Command, please
(22:18):
dm me because I'd love to hear more about this tactic.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Okay, talk to us for a moment about an operation
like that. Obviously not that one specifically, and I'm sure
you know things that you're not allowed to say, and
that's totally fine. But an operation like that involves so
many moving parts BK. And for people there's certainly civilians,
people who don't have any experience with this, it's it's
almost it's awe inspiring that you can have that many
(22:45):
different units, different moving parts at Navy, Air Force that
are but that much coordination. It boggles the mind. How
does this play out well? Jesse?
Speaker 8 (22:56):
First of all, are the United States military is by far,
it's not even a close race, the finest military in
the world. We all know this. This takes incredible dedication,
incredible professionalism. I think one, we have a military culture,
for lack of a better word. You know, America has
(23:17):
founded out of rebellion. I think we've always had that
streak in US, and I just think there's something about
the American fighting man, Jesse. As you know, we have
eighteen year old privates who have won medals of honor
because of the heroism they have displayed. I mean, foreign
leaders have said it many times. They watch the United
States are like, where does one find such men? Some
(23:38):
kids their stories about two nineteen year olds manning a
checkpoint and a guy in a v bed, a vehicle
born ied is headed straight for him and they know
they're gonna die. Did they turn and run? No they
did not. They fricking emptied those magazines towards that guy,
and they both paid the price. You know why, because
they were ordered to guard that checkpoint to protect their men,
(24:00):
and by god, they were going to guard that checkpoint
to protect their men. You just don't have that. I
don't know if it's a cultural thing. You do not
have that in other countries. And I credit a lot
of the training, especially the Marine Corps, with two brothers
having been Marine Corps officers. They break you down and
they build you up to believe that you are the best.
You are fighting for not only your country, but the
(24:22):
man to your left and right, and Americans believe that.
I don't know. And meanwhile, I don't know what the
Russian military is like. I mean, my god, Jesse, they're
doing cavalry charges on horseback over there.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's a freaking joke.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
And we have the finest military in the world. I've
seen people on Twitter speculating, well, it's not possible that
Delta could take out thirty Cuban bodyguards with no injuries,
And I'm like, okay, well, you know nothing fort of
all that special operations. I'd be surprised, first of all,
Jesse if those Cuban bodyguards even had loaded weapons, or
(24:58):
even if those weapons had been queened. People have no
idea what the US military is capable of, which, hey,
that's a good thing. Let them find out the hard way.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All right. Back to the question I asked originally before
I sidetracked you. The level of coordination is amazing. How
does one begin to piece all this together?
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Well, that is the job, of course, of the you know,
the guys of stars on their shoulders, the generals, right,
and they're very highly educated. And this is all goes
back to what we call combined arms. The combined arms
means you know, air assets, ground assets, cyber assets, all
working injunction with each other to accomplish a single mission.
(25:40):
There are very few countries in the world who are
even capable of having a combined arms system like we do.
With the level of exact coordination that we do and
let's face it, I mean, China allegedly is capable of that.
Have they faced a shot and anger in fifty years?
I don't know. I don't think they have. I know
we have. We're battlehearted. We have lots of practice thanks
(26:02):
to the global war and terror. Whether or not you
agree with that political decision, but the fact is we
spent twenty years just burying dudes overseas and we learned
a lot of lessons. So that's what it's all about.
It's all about the education of our senior officers, and
they are able to visualize this grand scheme, the cyber
attacks to turn off the lights. We have the aircraft
(26:25):
who's destroying the anti aircraft guns? If they were even
available at the time, I've heard, you know, maybe they
laid down and didn't even bother. But we have this
combined arms trait and we practice it over and over
and over and over again for weeks at a time,
and that's you can see that in the execution. It
works flawlessly.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That sure does b kay. Do you have another ten
minutes for us here? I have other things I want
to get into as far as Iran about China's capabilities.
You got another spot for Okay, b KA is going
to hang on for a quick second and we're going
to come right back. We're gonna learn a little bit
more about potential iran things and other things going on
around the globe before we get back to be Kay.
(27:09):
I know, listening to that meathead may make you want
to go grab some workout equipment and start lifting, and
I would encourage you to do so. But then you're
probably thinking, but my shoulder's gonna hurt, my knee's gonna hurt.
But Jesse, I've got a bad back. I can't fix
your back. But I will tell you this, there is
(27:32):
relief from the chronic pain that is holding you back
from going for a walk or doing a pull up,
or playing golf, or or cooking dinner. Relief factor is
there for that We always need to seek out natural
solutions first. Drug solutions should be the last resort. That's
(27:55):
what relief factor is here for. One hundred percent drug
free a unique form of natural ingredients. It is a supplement.
You take it every day, It builds in your system
over time, and soon you're doing pull ups just like
BK is. Maybe not quite as many, but just like
BK is go to relief factor dot com and try it.
(28:17):
Just get three weeks of it. Just try it, or
you can call one eight hundred the number four Relief.
We'll be back, Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Vaccian.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
We are back with BK. Host of World Nudes with
BK former Air Force PJ. All Right, BKA, I know
that you were not super hot on Pete hag Seth
as Secretary of War, certainly not as hot as I
was on him. But have your views on that changed
at all in light of recent events?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
I will say Jesse that I'm I'm I will be
grudgingly saying he didn't screw something.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Up totally, So that's good, you know.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
I obviously it's no secret I was not a fan
of the pick, and even less so after the Signal
Gate controversy. Just sloppy op sec. You know, it's just unacceptable.
But I always loved how he pushed the morale. I
love how he pushes the TT and everything else. So yeah,
and he's there, and there's nothing I can do about anyway.
(29:25):
So I'm rooting for the guy, I really am. I
just don't want him to do anything stupid, that's all.
I don't think that's too much ask.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
B kay Iran. It's one of those things. Obviously, we're
far superior in every way militarily, but people look at
the size of their force and they think, wow, that's
a big army. But then we just recently went and
bombed their nuclear program to smooth the rings without losing
a man, and Israel's over there slapping him around every
other day. And now they're kind of looked at as ridiculous.
(29:53):
You have mobs of people in the streets, what are they?
Speaker 8 (29:58):
You know, it's funny. I said the same thing for
years about Iran. I called them a paper tiger. The
only thing they were capable of doing is going to
all these crazed Islamic countries like Afghanistan, like Pakistan and
training those guys how to use some weapons and the
strap of bomb on their chest. They were never this
super soldier, freaking nuclear threat anything like that. They were
(30:24):
always a joke and they were fully exposed as that.
Like you said, after that twelve day war, there was
nothing they could do. They were completely humiliated by US
and the Israelis, and they are flailing right now. They
have an economic crisis that's happening. They have mass riots
in the street. I mean conservative estimates Jesse that hundreds
and hundreds of protesters have been killed. Unarmed protests have
(30:47):
been murdered by security forces, and they're cracking down even
more so. I feel very badly for the people over there.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Trump has indicated that help is on the way of
some now. In order to do what we did in Venezuela,
we had obviously, we had forces down there, We had
our navy parked outside of the place, we were recounting
the whole place. We're not doing that any ran. It's
not that we don't know anything, but we don't have
that over there. What could we even do to help
(31:17):
those protesters?
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Well, again, you know, with Trump, you got to kind
of take everything he says with a grain of salt, right.
I mean, you know, it's famously you could ask Trump like, hey,
you know, what are we going to do about the Moon?
You'd be like, the Moon, I don't know. I'm open
all possibilities. It's fantastic, you know what I mean. And
then either you just don't you don't know, But that's
part because he keeps you on your toes. I'm sure
(31:40):
there are assets on the grounds there, but the people
overthrew several governments in Iran, and I fear that they're
going to have to be the ones to do it again.
I mean, we stand by ready to help, but I
don't know. It's it's very, very tough. But the thing,
the fact is there. Their currency has fallen hugely against
(32:04):
the US dollar, and the lights are going out.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Jesse.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
When the lights are going out and you have no money,
that's when revolutions happen, and that's exactly what's happening in Iran.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Speaking of lights going out, let's go to a place
you talk about often, Africa. It seems like every time
you turn on the I was about to say turn
on the news, but let's be honest, every time you
pick up their phone, there's a new genocide, there's a
new famine, there's a new bundle of horrors happening at
various African countries. What's the latest and worst in that
(32:34):
continent that can just never seem to get attacked together? Well,
you know, I.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Ask myself the same question all the time I cover
Africa every single week, multiple countries. I really struggle to
find an answer. We all know that Africa has tons
and tons of natural resources. Rare earth, minerals, oil, gas,
everything else. They seem to have everything one would need,
(33:00):
but they just can't get it together. Now, part of
that is the fact that they have a massively powerful
Islamic insurgency all over the continent. Really that's part of
the problem. And they have just massive corruption. And these
leaders don't really, I believe, see corruption as a bad thing,
you know, as long as they get their cut. We've
(33:23):
seen these African dictators for years, their gold plated ak's
and their rolling voices, and people just kind of go
along with it. I don't I don't have a good
answer to it. I will say that it does appear
that we take all the best hearts and minds from Africa.
As you know, Jesse, You know, the Nigerian Americans are
(33:44):
probably one of the most successful groups in the United States.
And sometimes I think, like, well, you know what, maybe
maybe we just are poaching like everybody good there. I
honestly I'm at a loss kind of myself.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
B Kay. We've only got about a minute left on that.
This Somali corruption stories obviously taking off like wildfire. And
what I've tried to explain to people is there are
cultures in the world. I'm not even genuinely trying to
be insulting like I usually am. There are cultures in
the world where theft is a way of life. It's
not morally wrong. You would never in a million years
(34:17):
see a dollar and not steal it. It's what you do.
And that's what people have a hard time understanding about
dumps like Somalia.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Yeah, they do, and it's hardly limited to Somalia for example.
It's a great example. So I for to graduate, I
had to take three semesters of a language. I took
Russian at San Diego State. My professor was born and
raised in Moscow, and she used to tell us that
graft is just a way of life, and the people
have grown up with it. In other words, if you
get a parking ticket, you know, you could fight it
(34:46):
in the courts, but you'll never get anywhere. So it's
just a lot easier to go down there and slip
the chick behind the counter twenty rubles to have it
thrown out. And you add that up fifty times a day,
every single day, and people just get comfortable with it,
and that becomes part of the culture. And I agree
with you. I think there are certain cultures like that,
and they have to be reprogrammed to know that this
(35:10):
is morally bad and morally unacceptable in the United States
of America.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
He is BKA. Let's get those Patreon numbers up. World
News with BK. It's the podcast Goga Float him a
Bucker two a month. I think you will really really
enjoy his podcast. I know you all enjoy him on
this show. I know the emails certainly reflect that. My brother,
I appreciate you. Happy New Year? How about that? Chris,
(35:36):
let me ask you something now. I know we're not
going to go right, but don't you want to see Russia.
It's so corrupt and so terrible, and I know we'd
end up in a gooleag somewhere, so I don't want
to go, but I want to see it. There's so
much history. What Chris. I know. I know we're corrupt too,
(35:57):
but we're not that corrupt. And it's more of a
They're a hostile state, so you don't have any real
diplomatic protection right now if they arrest you. We're killing
Russians in Ukraine at least our weapons are. It kind
of saddens me that I never get to see it.
I want to see it. I don't know why. I
don't even drink vodka anyway, we still have an hour
