Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your holster is way more important than you think it is.
It's just way more important than you think it is.
What look, and I get that. The holsters not the
sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to
talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to
talk about your safety training. You want to talk about
how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups.
I was doing these failure drills today, and all that

(00:21):
stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm
not discounting that, but I've known so many people who
do all those things. They take all the necessary steps
and then they carry with a holster they bought from
a big box hunting store that was made a thousand
at a time. Please don't put your life in one
of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems

(00:44):
because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing
I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention
dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten
percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly Show. Hello, and

(01:17):
welcome to the Jesse Kelly Show. However, Jesse has the
day off and he asked me to fill in, and
I was very honored and proud to do so. It
is b K here, of course, the host of the
World News with b K podcast. I know some of
Jesse's audience have probably heard me do a weekly appearance
on his show, and he asked me to fill in.

(01:38):
I've never really done radio before, and it's a little
bit different because, as you know, with the podcast, I
have two and a half hours to get through topics
and this is like, you know, different times and commercials
and all that. But I thought, yeah, I'd definitely love
to try it and really happy to be here. I
thought i'd start a little bit just by introducing myself
to those of you don't know me, and just give

(01:58):
you a little background what I'm all about. So, yes,
I'm a veteran like Jesse, and kind of my backstory
a little bit, you know, like so many of you probably,
I was moved to join the military following nine to
eleven and I had a brother who was a Marine
Corps infantry officer, and you know, he started to get
like spun up to go like right away, and I

(02:19):
was like in a sales job at the time, and
I just felt like, you know, I wanted to do
something more. So I end up contacting a couple different
special operations recruiters, and the Air Force was really Johnny
on the spot with it, and I ended up going
into the Air Force with a power rescue contract, the
option to try out to become an Air Force Power
rescuement or PJ as they're commonly known, and so kind

(02:41):
of basically went through that. The selection course I went
through was heinous, one of the worst times in my life.
It's interesting because that selection course actually no longer exists.
It's been replaced with this whole special warfare program, much
like the Navy Special Warfare program. The Air Force now
has their own special warfare program and it's a lot different,

(03:03):
but at the time it was basically the same. It's
like a ten week selection course and it was just brutal.
It was PT tests every week, there was water confidence
tests every week. You were running like, you know, fifty
miles plus a week, and it was a very high
attrition rate. And at the end of it, you know,
it's like it's usually about an eighty percent failure rate.
But I was very happy to be able to get

(03:23):
through it, and then that just gives you kind of
the right to go on through the pipeline of schools
and when you're an Air Force power rescue and some
of the schools you go to where the combat diver course.
I went to the Army's Combat Diver Course in Key West, Florida.
I also went to the Army's Basic Airborne Course at
Fort Benning, and I went to the Army Freefall Course

(03:46):
at Hume Approving Ground in Arizona. Just some of the schools,
and in addition to that, you go through survival school
or seers School as it's called. And I also went
through a paramedic course, the Air Force Special Operations Medic Course.
And then at kind of the end of the deal
with the pipeline, you go through this like seven month
course where you kind of put it all together and

(04:07):
do all your tactics and shooting and everything else you
can possibly think up under the sun. And then at
the end of all that, which took me two and
a half years, you get the honor of going to
your team. You earn your coveted Maroon beret, and you
go to your team and now you're the new guy
on the team and you basically get to start it
all over again. And from there, you know, I deployed Afghanistan,

(04:29):
and then, as happens to so many of us, kind
of some injury got injuries got to me, caught up
with me. I ended up getting a medical retirement out
of the military, and then I went on to become
a contractor. And yes, it's like the security contractor. The
guy's overseas. And my job was basically escorting diplomats. And

(04:51):
I started off in Baghdad, and I was escorting diplomats
to like basic meetings all throughout the city, all over
the country of Iraq. Really we do flyways, but a
lot of it was in the city of Baghdad, and
you know, we'd be dodging roadside bombs and mortars. We
were kind of based out of the embassy there in Baghdad,
so I spent a lot of time there, contracted with

(05:12):
a couple of different government agencies, including State Department, the
other government agencies, if you know what I mean. And basically, yeah,
I ran around Iraq quite a bit and along the
way between trips over there, and I can't remember I
lost counting how many trips I actually made over there,
probably like I mean, over well over a dozen trips.
But I did end up going to a prestigious social

(05:34):
justice warrior university of higher education picking up a college
degree and kind of got that whole experience as well.
And while I was actually still contracting, I was writing
part time for a military website just every once in
a while and asked them, I was like, hey, let
me do a news article like once a week, like
a news roundup sort of thing, and they were like, yeah,

(05:56):
run with it. So I started doing that and one
led to another, and while again, while this is all
while I'm still contracting, like on trips, and I thought,
you know what, the podcast thing came up and I
was like, you know, I think I could do that,
and I actually started the podcast, the World News the
BK podcast when I was still doing these trips over

(06:16):
in Iraq, And indeed you can find the first one,
which is terrible. The old ones are always awful, but
the very first podcast was actually just me holding up
my iPhone sitting in an up armored vehicle in northern Iraq.
So that's kind of how it all got started. And
then I just kind of got burned out on the
whole contracting thing, and I mean it's kind of a

(06:38):
you know, a dead end job and I can tell
you guys right now, I know a lot of people
think like, well, if I'm a ranger or whatever, I'll
just get out of the military and I'll go make
a bunch of money contracting, you know, for government agencies.
And I can just tell you talking to many guys
that that the salad days of the the you know,
the security contractor are kind of in the rear view
mirror at this point. So with everything going on Afghanistan

(07:00):
winding down, it's kind of just like a dying industry. Really,
it doesn't appear that way, but I'm talking about the
high paying jobs you know, aren't there. I mean, back
in the day when Blackwater had the contract for State
Department security in Iraq, you know, guys are pulling like
a thousand bucks a day, like no problem. And those
days are over, So you'd you'd be well pressed to

(07:21):
think of other options and move on with your life
once you get out of the military, if that you do.
I mean, I wanted to stand in military. You know,
things happen. It wasn't meant to be. So that's a
little bit about me. So what about the podcast. Well,
I always had a fascination with international news, and events,
and I really just thought it's criminal how underreported we
have it in the United States. It just seems like everything,

(07:43):
especially now, I don't watch cable news at all, and
I just feel that we do a horrible job of
telling the American citizens what's going on all over the world.
As a child, I was fascinating. I remember my dad
would turn on like you know, NPR in the car radio,
and I would hear like these far off place names

(08:04):
and you know, stuff going on and like, you know, Mozambique,
and I'm like where. I didn't even know where they were.
And ever since then, I've been just really fascinated, and
I was like, you know what, I'd like to do
more with that. So I take a lot of pride
in doing a lot of the stories that the US
media doesn't touch. And the thing is, it's all about
like context too, because it's not just that our media

(08:25):
doesn't talk about, like say, things that are going on Afghanistan.
It tends to just be like maybe a thirty second
segment or a minute long segment, and then they're back
onto whatever domestic politics we've been going on, and it
just doesn't cover nearly enough the intricacies of what's happening
overseas and now you know, I mean, I've been around

(08:46):
a little bit, been around the world a little bit,
been in some real crap holes, and I am fascinated
by what's going on there. So that is kind of
where I'm at. So I started the podcast. It's been
doing pretty well, and I'm really gratified that so many
people seem to have that craving for international news and

(09:09):
everything else, and I'm all about like DMS, I know
a lot of some of the other things that I
do on the side is I mentor young people who
are going through like special operations training. They want to
be Navy Seals or Green Berets or Air Force pj's,
Air Force combat controllers, Army rangers. And a couple of
friends of mine have businesses where they train these guys

(09:29):
up and we take them to the beach and smoke
the crap out of these kids, you know, with the
way of logs, and we make them new pushups and
all that good stuff. And I've always been really impressed
with the young people who come out, and it's kind
of like my way to give back, and we really
give it to them. We make it like a real
deal experience. I mean, I've been out on a beach
in southern California in January with a bunch of wet

(09:50):
kids who are shivering, you know, because we're putting them
in the ocean. And it's no joke, it's not a game.
And as I always told him, I'm kind of a
jerk to him, you know, off the back because I'm
trying to make it realistic as possible, like to be like,
this is what you can expect. But at the end,
I tell them, and I tell everybody the same thing.
I'm like, you know what, it takes a lot of
guts just to show up to do something like that.

(10:11):
And I've had a few female students who blew me
away with how tough they were and how determined they were.
Had a lot of respect for them. So that's kind
of something. It's a way for me to like kind
of give back to the community and it's funny. So
that's like our first segment right here, and then that's
my whole bio, my background, that's what it's all about.

(10:32):
So with that being said, guys, we're going to come
back after the break and we're going to get into
some international news and talk about this crazy Russian paying
the Taliban bounty story. It's wild more. After this Birch

(12:09):
Welcome back, Jesse. Kelly show b K sitting in for Jesse,
and as promise you guys, I thought we'd go ahead
and start talking about this story about Russia paying Taliban
and other armed members of Afghanistan bounties to kill US troops. Now,
the story is a little bit old, it's about a
week old, but we still have a lot coming out

(12:30):
about it. And I thought, again, the way we do
it here on the podcast and way I like to
do it on Jesse Show is really get into the
details of it, because everything is in the details. Now.
US intelligence officers and special operations forces in Afghanistan alerted
their superiors as early as January to a suspected Russian

(12:50):
plot to pay those bounties to the Taliban to kill
American troops in Afghanistan, and now they are claiming they
believe at least one US troop death was the result
of those bounties. Now, the crucial information that led the
spies and commandos to focus on the bounties included a
discovery of a large amount of American cash from a

(13:14):
raid on a Taliban outpost, and that prompted suspicions. So
interrogations of captured militants and criminals played a central role
in making the intelligence community confident in their assessment that
the Russians had offered and paid bounties in twenty nineteen,
according to a second official, so armed with that information,

(13:37):
military and intelligence officials have been reviewing American and other
coalition combat casualties over the past eighteen months to determine
whether any were victims of the plot. Now four Americans
were killed in combat in early twenty twenty. However, the
Taliban have not attacked American positions since a February agreement

(13:59):
to end the long running war in Afghanistan. If you
guys been listening to the podcast, you know all about that.
We've been covering it heavily since that happened. So obviously,
the Trump administration is getting tons of criticism on this
over its apparent failure to authorize a response to Russia. Now.
Trump initially defended himself by denying the Times report that

(14:20):
he had been briefed on the intelligence but leading Congressional
Democrats and some Republicans, including Congressman Dan Crenshaw, course former
Navy seal, demanded a response to Russia that, according to
those officials, the administration has yet to authorize. So they
said the president needs to handle this and stop this

(14:41):
shadow war. And it's funny because this is how Russia operates, right,
what did we all learn from the Russia medling. They
can't come out and confront us right in the battlefield.
We learn that in Syria. Remember a lot of the
other year was the last year in Syria when we
waxed like three hundred Russian commandos without even breaking sweat.
They are no match for us on the open battlefield.

(15:03):
They know that. So this is how they do their work.
They do it through the troll accounts, the bot farms,
you know, all this propaganda. And yes they pay these
criminals and Taliban, there's this money to do their dirty
work in Afghanistan as well. So they did ask the CIA,

(15:25):
the Director of National Intelligence, and the Pentagon to comment
on these new findings. As you would expect, they had
no comment. So now there is broad agreement that the
intelligence assessment that this was actually happening was accurate, So
you know, they really aren't challenging the reporting on the

(15:47):
existence of it. Now. The assessment had been treated as
a closely held secret, but the administration expanded briefings about
it over the last week, including sharing information about it
with the British government, whose horses were among those said
to have also been targeted. So it's it's pretty wild

(16:08):
and like, you never know what is It's so hard
to say now with all this world we live in
with these you know, these unnamed sources and everything else
about what's actually real. But one official said that the
seizure of a large amount of American cash at one
Taliban site got everybody's attention over there. And this really

(16:30):
came into focus over the last several months after these
intel analysts and special operations guys put together all these
pieces of evidence, and they said that this bounty hunting
was well known among the intelligence community in Afghanistan, including
the CIA's chief of station and other top officials there.
Now the assessment was sent up the chain of command,

(16:53):
eventually landing at the highest levels of the White House.
And you know, it's interesting because while Russia has at
times cooperated with the United States and appeared interested in
Afghan stability, it's kind of muddled itself over the years
because you know, they had their own problems with Islamics

(17:16):
and surgery, you know, with all the Chechenians, right, and
of course Russia probably has you know, hard memories of
their own involvement with Afghanistan as well. And remember, you know,
even though they were on our side initially, now that
it's been twenty years of US in Afghanistan, you know,
maybe they're looking over there and they're like, you know what,

(17:36):
maybe America's not such a great bet for the long
term in Afghanistan because initially Russia supporters when we first
went in Afghanistan. So now they found this new guy.
And this was breaking yesterday and they said they found
this dude named Ramatulah Azizi and he kind of thing,

(17:57):
it seems to be the central piece of the puzzle.
He's like the key kind of middleman. He's like the
cash guy, right. And indeed security agencies did carry out
sweeping raids to arrest him in dozens of his relatives
about six months ago. But it was discovered that Azizi
had sneaked out of Afghanistan and they think he was

(18:19):
likely went to Russia. What they did find in one
of his homes in Cobble was about a half a
million dollars in cash. And they think this program is
run by something called Unit two nine one five five
that is an arm of the Russian military intelligence agency
known as the GRU, that has carried out assassinations and

(18:42):
other operations overseas, and AZIZI was kind of like this
middleman with his fingers and all kinds of pies. Right,
he was tied to the American reconstruction effort. You know,
he was able to somehow get quotes. I mean, it
probably isn't that hard to get money to reconstruct stuff
in Afghanistan. God knows the corruption that goes on there.

(19:04):
But they did say, like this is the guy. This
is the middleman between the GRU and the militants linked
to the Taliban who carried out these attacks. So he
would collect the cash in Russia, and our intelligence files
describe those cash payments in Russia as multiple payments of
hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and then this guy

(19:26):
is easy would deliver the cash to Afghanistan for the mission,
and then the transfers were often sliced into smaller amounts
that got routed through several regional countries before actually arriving there.
And Afghan officials said prizes as much as one hundred
thousand dollars per killed soldier were offered for American and
coalition targets. Now, how exactly the money was dispersed to

(19:50):
militants carrying out attacks for the Taliban and what level
that's kind of unclear, but they do say this network
had grown increasingly ambitious and was in communication with more
senior levels in Taliban military ranks for even harder targets. Now, yeah,

(20:11):
as the two powers, I'm just reading through this kind
of scrolling through this update on this New York Times article,
as those two powers clashed, you know, Russia and the
United States. You know, the Kremlin just said, you know what,
we're looking at this unit US presence in Afghanistan and
we're not feeling so good that they're going to have
any stability here after twenty years. So, and remember Afghanistan

(20:35):
is far closer to Russia than we are, so they
have to kind of be wary about Afghanistan just completely
collapsing into like total chaos that could easily spill over
its borders. Now, publicly, Russia has admitted only to information
sharing with the Taliban and fighting the Islamic State in
Afghanistan that's kind of their common enemy, and they've denied

(20:57):
everything else. They said, all this bounty stuff, Oh, it's ridiculous.
So some of the attacks are believed to be part
of the bounty scheme, were carried out around the time
the Trump administration was actively reaching out to Russia for
cooperation on those aforementioned peace talks. But remember, the Afghan

(21:17):
battlefield has all kinds of smaller terrorist groups in addition
to the Taliban, and they you know, the Taliban is
still responsible for the majority of the violence, but you
also have criminal networks, profiteers. It's like the wild West
out there. So it's a pretty fascinating story, you guys.
And that is just I could go on and on
just about Russia and the Taliban and the United States

(21:37):
and the bounties and everything else. We'll take a break
right now. We're going to come back with more international news.
Home titlelock dot com really opened up my eyes to
a crime that I did not realize beforehand how big
it was. And then I saw the FBI statists sticks

(22:00):
on it. You know that the FBI, I mean they care.
I'm not trying to indict them here. They care about
identity theft, they care about credit card theft. Home title
theft is the one that keeps them up at night
because there's not necessarily a great solution unless you get
home title loock dot com. The truth is this, your

(22:21):
home title is not a piece of paper anymore. It
is out there on the Internet, and these guys who
know what they're doing can get it, get a totally
real looking signature of yours on it, take out a
loan against it, and you get the bill. Someone has
to pay that bill. It's a big deal. Go to

(22:42):
hometitlelock dot com. Used to coo Jesse, get thirty free
days hometitlelock dot com. Okay, welcome back to the Jesse

(23:02):
Kelly Show. It is BK here sitting in for Jesse,
and why don't we continue our international news update? And
I wanted to go to Mexico. I talk about Mexico
quite a bit on the podcast. I'm based out here
in southern California in San Diego, literally twenty minutes from
the border, so I do cover it a lot. And

(23:23):
the latest atrocity that occurred there was when armed men
stormed into a drug rehab facility in central Mexico and
Wednesday and killed twenty six men and gravely wounded five others. Yes,
they do think this is a fight over territory between
rival criminal organizations. So the gunmen entered this rehab center

(23:44):
in a town called Ita Plato in the state of Guanajuato,
and they basically forced everyone in the ground and shot them.
According to the local security director, whoever, that guy is
not a great job to have. And you know, social
media showed all kinds of like bodies lying face down
in pools of blood. Was very gruesome, and they said

(24:06):
they think this was a war between the Santa Rosa
cartel and a Jalisco New generation cartel. Now this assault
is just the latest in a string of high profile
attacks across Mexico. They have kind of a national crisis
going on because the government seemingly has a complete inability
to curb rising violence there. And while many Latin American

(24:28):
countries have enjoyed kind of a little bit of a
break from homicides during the coronavirus lockdowns, in Mexico homicides
have kept coming. Wait until you hear the stat March
was the deadliest month in Mexico since President Andres Manuel
Lopez Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, took office in twenty eighteen.

(24:50):
You know, you know, my homicides Mexico had in just March,
how about three thousand. Now, this Guana Quato, that place
is like northwest of Mexico City, and they are averaging
high They are averaging twelve homicides a day. That is
the highest murder rate in the country. And this cartel,

(25:15):
the Santa Rosa Cartel, they're a criminal group focused on
oil theft of all things. But they've been fighting with
a larger Jalisco New Generation cartel for control over lucrative
illicit enterprises in Guanahat though, including drug trafficking, and that
battle has contributed to thousands of casualties across the strait
as homicides have more than tripled over the last five years,

(25:38):
including several cases of mass killings. Even so, the attack
on this rehab center was particularly lethal even by the
standards of Mexico's most violent state. So it's not really
known much about the victims as of right now. I mean,

(26:01):
were they attached to organized crime, We're really not sure.
One local news report did quote a mother who said
her son was there seeking drug treatment, had nothing to
do with the cartels at all, but you know, who
knows if that's true. But this is this has been
going on all over Mexico. It's going on in Itapuato itself.
Just last week gunmen killed ten people in a different

(26:23):
drug treatment center in Itapuato. So not looking good for
a Mexico. Let's keep going around the world, you guys,
and let's go to Myanmar, where a jade mine collapse
has killed at least one hundred and sixty two people,
if you can believe it, and they probably think that

(26:44):
death toll is going to rise dramatically. Weeks of heavy
rains carried by the seasonal monsoon basically turned this jade mine,
you know, jade, the precious jewel to all these rains
took this jade mind and turned it into a lake.
And right standing over the lake was this thousand foot

(27:04):
hillside topped with a mound of mining waste. So this
open mine basically just collapse, they said. They said. The
workers didn't even have time to run away, and hundreds
of miners who are digging for jade illegally by the
way near the water's edge, were just quickly overwhelmed. Most

(27:25):
were not lucky enough to get away. And yes, one
hundred and sixty two bodies as of the latest count,
and officials do expect that death toll to surpass two
hundred people. Now, a little bit about what goes on here.
And if you're looking at a map, imagine like India
and then to the east of India's China and Myanmar

(27:48):
kind of juts in between those two. And this is
at the very northern tip of Myanmar, just to kind
of give you a visual. And these miners labor in
it notoriously hazardous conditions to get this jade. It's worth
billions of dollars. Now, the government did actually order the
mines in the region to close from July first to

(28:09):
September thirtieth because of the risk of landslides. But at
this mine called the Why car Mine, guys are just
I'm gonna give you a heads up here because I
refuse to watch cable TV. Some of these place names
are notoriously difficult for me, and I'm sure I'm mispronouncing
some of them, so bear with me. I usually just
go with the phonetic pronunciation the way it's spelled. So

(28:32):
at this Why car Mine, hundreds of illegal workers came
in to take the place of the regular miners, you know,
and you know it's controlled by like basically ethnic armed
groups all over the place, and they say, yeah, you
guys can go mind, just pay us off. So this
region is called the Catching Region, and like I said,

(28:56):
it borders China and industry and India. It has been
racked by fighting between the military and ethnic rebels, but
the jade industry has largely remained under government control. However,
despite attempts to regulate it, much of the mining there
is done illegally by these miners. So I mean there's

(29:16):
over they said, it's like over one hundred thousand miners
working in that regional loane and it's impossible to stop
them there. Now, mine collapses do occur frequently there. More
than fifty people died in a similar landslide last year
in Catching State, and dozens were swept away the year before.
At least one hundred and twenty were buried in twenty
fifteen after the collapse of amount of mining waste known

(29:39):
as tailings. So no, boyno very dangerous stuff. And you
know what, let's go to Let's go over to Africa.
And many many of my podcast listeners sent me the story.
You guys, because I'll just tell you something. I have
a very rigid animal hierarchy and probably right at the
top of the heap elephants. I'm fascinated with elephants, you know,

(30:03):
highly intelligent. I'm not a I don't really believe in
trophy hunting at all. I'm gonna backtrack that. So I
believe if you want to hunt an elephant or a
tiger or anything else, you have to have a handheld weapon.
That's my rule. No guns. Okay, So that's the rule.
So now if you want to go kill giraffe, you

(30:24):
have to do it with like a knife. That's the
rule I put out. I think that's fair. So elephants
very high on the animal hierarchy. And in Botswana they're
investigating like this, unprecedented deaths of hundreds of elephants since May,
and the government there is asking like laboratories to process
these samples because more than three hundred and fifty elephant

(30:46):
carcasses have been spotted in Botswana's Okavango Delta in the
last couple months, and this is highly unusual. It's a
ton of carcasses and nobody knows why they're dying. Bots
Wana is home to one third of Africa's declining elephant population,
and aerial surveys showed that elephants of all ages appear

(31:10):
to be dying. It's not just a bunch of old ones.
And there's some really sad pictures at this BBC story.
Now they ruled out poaching completely because none of the
tusks have been removed or any of the other stuff
that you expect. That, plus they say it's only elephants
that are dying and nothing else. One doctor quoted here said, look,

(31:32):
if it was cyanide used by poachers, you would expect
to see other animals dying, but it's not. It's just elephants.
And that same doctor also tentatively ruled out natural anthrax poisoning,
which did kill at least one hundred elephants in Botswana
last year, but they haven't been able to completely rule
out either poisoning or disease. And the way that the

(31:57):
animals appear to be dying is also crazy, because many
are dropping onto their faces, and sightings of other elephants
walking in circles point to something potentially attacking their neurological systems.
So either way, it's impossible to rule out the possibility
of a disease that you know, maybe could possibly cross

(32:19):
into the human population. Then you start working about you know,
COVID and the related stuff, and so it's a bit
of a mystery and hopefully they get to the bottom
of it again. Elephants extremely I on the BK Animal Hierarchy.
Guys will come right back after the break with more
world news. I have my first real complaint about my

(32:52):
EBB sleep. I woke up this morning and my shoulder,
my right shoulder, was actually a little sore. And you see,
that's EBB Sleep's fault because I sleep so long and
so hard on eb sleep and I don't turn over.
That I woke up and slept wrong on my shoulder
the entire night. That is a high class problem. It

(33:17):
works that well. It will zonk you out because you're

Kelly Show. B K sitting in for Jesse and guys.
Let's continue our world news update and let's go over
to Ethiopia where this is pretty fascinating. What's going on
over there. I know none of you have even heard
of what's going on over there, but here's what's going on.
A man named Hachalu Houndessa. He's a famous Ethiopian singer.

(34:39):
He's thirty four years old, and he was actually shot
dead by an unknown assailant in Addis Ababa and did
later die of his wounds. So why am I talking
about him? Well, his death has ignited nationwide protests that
have killed eighty one people, injured dozens of others, and

(34:59):
caused stensive property damaged. Now, the authorities over in Ethiopia
have now blocked the internet there and they have arrested
thirty five people, including a prominent media magnate and government
critic name Jawar Mohammad. But this week, groups of young men,
some with machetes, were roaming through neighborhoods in Addis Ababa,

(35:23):
that's where this Houndessa was born and raised, singling out
people from rival ethnic groups for attacks, and this prompted
the government there to deploy soldiers to patrol the streets,
and witnesses said that the police block some people from
attending this singer's funeral. Now, this unrest our, analysts say,

(35:45):
does threaten the stability of Africa's second most populous country
and deepens the political crisis in a country already undergoing
this sort of up and down democratic transition. Now, everybody
is very angry about this death because this singer, he

(36:06):
sang a lot of protest songs, and he would he
would sing about freedom and justice and all that, and
so he's been kind of the figurehead now of all
these tensions that have been brought to a boiling point. Now,
the Prime Minister of Ethiopia is a guy named Abi Ahmed.
He rose to power in twenty eighteen following a wave
of anti government protests that Houndessa, the singer, helped to

(36:31):
organize these protests through his music. Now, Houndessa is a
member of the country's largest but historically marginalized ethnic group
called the Aromo. Now the prime Minister Abi is also
a part of the Aromo tribe. And indeed he was
just awarded and maybe you saw this headline in passing

(36:52):
in twenty nineteen, the Nobel Peace Prize the Prime Minister
was for his initiative to resolve the decades long conflict
with neighboring Eritrea and kind of bring some kind of
cooperation throughout the Horn of Africa. Now, Ethiopia is a
nation of about one hundred and nine million people, just
to give you how big it is. It's considered one

(37:13):
of the fastest growing economies in Africa, and it's a
key United States ally in the fight against terrorism. So
what happens in Ethiopia does matter. And it's pretty wild,
you know. I always tell people on the podcast that
I do World News with BK that you know the
law and order, you can't take it for granted. I mean,
you go around the world, you think it's just like
you think it's just people just get along. You think

(37:35):
the laws are just enforced equally in just it's not
like that. I mean, I remember being in Baghdad and
you'd have the army getting into gunfights with the police,
like right out in front of our compound. It was
so regular it didn't even like, you don't even it
didn't even seem weird and then you get back home
and you're like, man, that was pretty weird. But you

(37:57):
can't take it for granted. It's one thing I harp
on all the time time. And for all the unrest
we've had lately, and we've had a lot, for the
most part, we generally have a strong rule of law
and that's why the United States has kind of seen
as a safe bet more at least was until recently.
So keep an eye on Africa and Ethiopium. I'm telling
you don't sleep on them. And what else? This one,

(38:20):
this story's while too. Let's go to Pakistan, where the
European Union has now announced that Pakistan International Airlines would
be barred from flying into Europe for at least six months.
And that airline, Pakistan International Airlines or PIA, has been

(38:43):
kind of going through scandal after scandal, and it kind
of started with a crash in May that killed ninety
seven people. Now, if you'd been listening to the podcast
last week, and I covered this a little bit, but
for those of you who have not, what happened just
last week the Pakistani Aviation Minister, a guy named Gulam Khan.

(39:06):
He said that a large number of pilots at the
PIA and other airlines had what the New York Times
calls dubious credentials. In other words, they didn't really have licenses,
they were faking it, or they had people take tests
for them. And now Pakistan International has now grounded one
hundred and fifty of its pilots and an inquiry's underway

(39:28):
to review all of their licenses and other document documentation.
And it's not just in Pakistan, it's Pakistan pilots all
over the world. Earlier this week, Vietnam grounded twenty seven
Pakistani pilots who fly for Vietnamese airlines, and now the
United Arab Emirates has also sought verification of the credentials

(39:50):
of its Pakistani airline employees. Now, remember that May twenty
second crash of the Airbus A three twenty was carrying families,
and that was like as latest in a series of
air disasters to the airline. In that case, the pilots
had disregarded several warnings that they were flying too low
on the approach to the Karachi airport, according to investigation

(40:13):
into the crash, and repeated efforts by successive governments to
make the PIA financially viable have failed, and the airline
is currently running about a thirty six million dollar loss
per month. Indeed, Pakistani officials have described its financial situation

(40:35):
as a quote bottomless pit end quote. So if I
were you, I wouldn't be getting on a Pakistani International
Airline flight anytime soon. That's just me. We'll be back
with more on the Jesse Kelly Show. And that are

right and back here on the Jesse Kelly Show, both

(42:01):
quickly before the break. I had to squeeze this one
and I have a lot of Australian listeners and right
now they have a case going on where a Sydney doctor, Sydney,
Australia is being accused of a sexually assaulting sleeping patients.
And doctor Ali Karami has pleaded not guilty twenty five
charges related to five female complainants who attended the Woolcock

(42:25):
Institute of Medical Research for various sleep problems. What was
the problem, Well, apparently the good doctor tried to perform
tantric healing on two of the patients involving his genitals.
That's right. Doctor Karami, during a twenty eighteen police interview,
was presented with a screen shot from overnight closed circuit

(42:47):
television footage showing him placing his genitals on a sixteen
year old patient's hand. And this, he said, was caught
him about he was. He performed this treatment because this
is what the patient demanded, and this is an alternative

(43:08):
treatment that the rest of the medical professionals in Sydney
and all the sleep experts had just not heard of
because they're just not as high speed as the good
doctor Ali Karami. And I'm not sure that's gonna go
very far in court. And yes, he has got a
lot of problems going on. He's forty nine years old
right by the way, and the patients were severely underaged,

(43:29):
so not looking too good for him. That is not
going to go well for you. Doc, I got news
for you. So we'll be right back after the break
with more on The Jesse Kelly Show. Jesse Kelly returns
next this Jesse Kelly Show. Okay, welcome back to the

(44:09):
Jesse Kelly Show. It is b K here from World
News with BK Podcast sitting in for Jesse. Want to
say thanks again for letting me fill in for him
on the program. And guys, let's continue with our coverage
of what's going on in the world. And I want
to do a few military stories here, and we've had
an important update here. Let's start with the case of

(44:31):
missing Fort Hood's soldier Vanessa Gien, and if you didn't know,
she had been missing for a while now, and what
happened was the family was demanding answers, like what happened
to our daughter? Where's our daughter? Well, a soldier has
now allegedly took his own life in Texas after law
enforcement attempted to make contact with him in the case

(44:55):
of Private first Class again and another suspect, who is
a civilian woman whom authorities said was the estranged wife
of a former Hood soldier, is currently in custody at
Bell County Jail awaiting charges. She was arrested by Texas rangers. Now,
Army Criminal Investigation announced that there were suspects a day

(45:18):
after they found partial human remains that have yet to
be positively identified, but they do believe it is from Guienne.
The Guienne family and their attorney, Natalie Kawam did hold
a press conference in Washington, DC and Kam said, yes,
they believe those remains were covered at the Leon River

(45:39):
are those of Guienne. Now, this is going to be
a huge scandal because according to the attorney, she says
that Guienne faced sexual harassment from her supervisors prior to
her disappearance and reported it to her sister's mother and
other soldiers. Now, Guienne allegedly never reported these allegations to

(46:00):
her command, but she had said that her harasser intentionally
walked in on her while she was showering in a
locker room, kind of started following her around, and the
Third Cavalry Regiment commander did open his own investigation into
the sexual harassment allegations in mid June, but they don't

(46:20):
think that's good enough, they said. For starters, the military
falsely accounted for Vanessa at three pm the day she
went missing, and she was last seen on post about
eleven thirty am on April twenty second, in the parking
lot of her Regimental Engineer Squadron headquarters, which is under

(46:43):
the Third Cavalry Regiment. Now Gien's chain of command was
also supposed to be conducting check ins on soldiers as
part of the COVID nineteen and yes, she was written
down as accounted for during a three PM check in,
despite going missing hours earlier. Now there has been a
bit of a grizzly update and the attorney has now

(47:09):
shared new information that they say this suspect who killed himself,
he's another soldier named Aaron David Robinson, and they are
saying that Robinson actually did kill her the day she
went missing, April twenty second, and that he attacked the

(47:30):
twenty year old gin with a hammer in the armory
and obviously that's going to be an extremely bloody, heinous act.
And now they're trying to figure out like who knew, what, when, where, how, why?
And after Guienne was dead, Robinson, the soldier the accused,
allegedly contacted his married girlfriend to help him bury her

(47:53):
bloody body. This is graphic, you guys, and I apologize,
But according to the attorney, the Robinson and his lover assistant,
it first tried to set the body on fire, but
they couldn't figure out or get it to burn. And yes,
they then dismembered her body with a machette. It's just

(48:17):
a horrible atrocity, heinous crime. I mean, I'm not sure
how much the death penalty is used in army cases
these days anymore, but certainly something this bad would very
much qualify for it. And it does bring to attention.
I know this was tracking on social media quite a bit,
the disappearance of Private first class again and a lot

(48:38):
of us A veterans. We're very much involved in trying
to like say like, hey, that's our that's our girl,
you know where she wears. We we have to do
a better job. And it's amazing because a lot of
people were mad at the military because the military will
like hold you over for weeks if a rifle goes missing. Right,
But we have a twenty year old private first class
going missing, and it just seemed to be like business

(49:01):
as usual, And I'd like a lot There's a lot
of answer questions I have about like how do you
basically butcher someone in an army armory? And how does
it take this long to like figure out what happened?
So a lot more to come out about this, I'm sure.
Now let's move on and continue with the military. I

(49:21):
got a few more soldiers in attendance at the Army
Survival training course at Fort Bragg, North Carolina had a
big outbreak of coronavirus this week. Out of one hundred
and ten individuals going to this course, it's like a
SEARS school right survival of Asian resistance escape. Out of
one hundred and ten individuals, there are ninety positive COVID

(49:42):
nineteen tests and about eighty two of the ninety cases
were students, with the rest being the training cadre. And
that's according to a spokesman for the Army's John F.
Kennedy Special Warfare Center. In school, they run the program,
the j FK Warfare Center is that's kind of the
umbrella for all the training and like special operations for

(50:05):
the Army. You know, they run the dive school, and
they run the parachute schools and all that, and yes,
this SEAR training as well. Now, crazily enough, the class
was only six hours from completion, and the entire SEAR
course lasts roughly three weeks, so I mean, they might
be kind of screwed here because the SEAR it's not

(50:25):
like a hard school to get through or anything, but
it's it's uncomfortable. It's unpleasant. You're usually out in the
you know, boonies, you know, like eating animals and killing
skinning game and all that crap and making snares and
doing the survival stuff, and you're out in the weather,
you're out in the elements. It's not like hard, but
it's certainly less than pleasant. And then don't even get

(50:47):
me started on the resistance training, which is technically classified,
so technically I'm not supposed to talk about it, but
basically it's your you know, in case you're captured by
the enemy, like how to deal with it, how to
like not make propaganda stuff like that. It's a pretty
fascinating subject. I wish I could talk more about it,
but they were only six hours from being done, so
I'm hoping that these guys who were in the course

(51:07):
they just kind of like be like, you know what,
close enough, because I would not I would not want
to do it again. I mean, it was it was
far from the most difficult school I ever went to.
As a matter of fact, it was one of the
easier ones physically, but it's just annoying, dude, and I
just would not want to go through it again. And
they said all one hundred and ten individuals were quarantined

(51:30):
after the outbreak and the next class will not start
again until July thirteenth, And they were already heading into
kind of the natural break with the Independence Day weekend
coming up, so they just kind of extended that out
even further. Obviously, the health and of the students is,
you know, one of the military's top priorities, so they

(51:52):
are going to be very careful with that one. And finally,
what else about the military, Well, we had an international
military story as well where Germany is disbanding their special
forces group, claiming that it's been tainted by far right extremists.
And this is like the most elite, highly trained special

(52:13):
forces group in the country. It's known by the German
acronym KSK. And I've actually done some training with these guys,
and they said that one of the four companies inside
this special forces again the KISK, had become so infested
with far right extremism that it would be dissolved. And

(52:36):
so now they have to completely overhaul their recruitment, training,
all kinds of other stuff before they're allowed to do
any international military exercises or any real world missions. And
this announcement came six weeks after investigators discovered a trove
of Nazi memorabilia and an extensive arsenal of stolen AMMO
and explosives on the property of a sergeant major who

(52:59):
had served in the KSK since two thousand and one.
And this is kind of a long running controversy they've
been dealing with. They had a party like three years
ago the KSK guys where soldiers were reported to a
flashed Hitler salutes, listened to like neo Nazi music, and
now they're freaking out. Obviously, Germany's had a little unpleasantness,

(53:20):
if you will, in dealing with extremists in their history,
and they don't want to take any chances on that.
And they do think, yeah, there's gonna be a lot
of there's like a lot of far right extremism that
they say has to be we, you know, weeded out
of these elite units. Pretty crazy story going on in Germany.
So we will be back with more on the Jesse

(53:41):
Kelly show Asleep. I love what they do because they
attack the root of the problem. We talked about that
all the time on the show, you know, attacking the
root of the problem. Let's get after what what's really
really wrong? And what is really wrong when you go

(54:02):
to sleep at night and you can't sleep? Is it?
Is it that that you know you your foot's a
little sore. Is it that you need a new pillow?
Is that? No, it's none of those things. You can't
turn your mind off, that's the problem. You can't slow
those thoughts down. You're thinking about the day you had,
you're thinking about the day you're gonna have wife, kids, job,

(54:22):
the country. Ah. EBB Sleep goes right after that. It's
a wearable not drugs wearable device that goes after those thoughts,
calms them down, puts you asleep, and keeps you asleep.
Go to try ebb dot com slash Jesse. That's try
ebb dot com slash Jesse used to promo co Jesse

(54:47):
twenty five bucks off. Okay, welcome back, Jesse. Kelly show
b K. You're sitting in for Jesse and I did
have a few saved rounds on this crazy far right
extremists in the elite German special operations unit. To share

(55:11):
with you, for one thing, the president of the military
counterintelligence kind of group over there said that their agency
is currently investigating six hundred soldiers, twenty of them in
the KSK alone. Again, this is like Germany's elite counter
terrorism force. Now, the KSK has about one thousand, four
hundred members and they turned twenty five next year, so

(55:36):
they haven't really been around that long. And they said,
you know what, we need to shine a light on
all these guys and root out this far right. You know,
maybe Hitler sympathizing extremism wherever it is. But such vows
have been made before, and it's some of the actions
have come to Germany that's kind of like shook them
out of their slumber, because, for example, in the early

(55:57):
two thousands, members of the National Socialist Underground, which is
a neo Nazi terrorist group, killed nine immigrants and a
police officer over seven years, and one of those killers
was a former soldier. And when that case finally came
to drial, it emerged that like key files had been

(56:18):
shredded by the very agency tasked with like rooting out
the corruption to begin with. And so now they say,
you know what, things are different now, and it's going
to be totally different, and we're gonna get to the
bottom of this that remains to be seen. I'd tell
you those KSK guys, those are some tough dudes. I
remember going through a medical course with some of them,

(56:38):
and we had this device and it's called a sternal
io or interosseous infusion device. Basically everybody knows what NIV is, right,
you know, you prick the needle in the vein and
that's the way you can get fluid in medications into
somebody's venus system. Well, what happens if you're in combat
and the guy's arms are blown off or n legs
are blown off and you can't get anything, blood pressures,
real low veins are flat. Well, they came up with

(57:00):
this device and it looks like almost a picture like
a screwdriver handle with a bunch of needles sticking out
of it. And you jam this thing, like I said,
looks like a medieval torture device. You jam it right
into a guy's sternham or girls sternham, and it fires
this tube right into the bone and then from there
you can infuse fluids medications. Now, if what you would

(57:24):
want to do as a medic is prep the area
by injecticating and injecting some lydacne or another painkiller to like,
you know, numb the area before you jam these inch
and a half needles into the sternham. But the KSK
guy that I was working with, you know, because they
were like, Okay, who's gonna take this because we have
to like demonstrate it, right, you gotta you gotta do it.

(57:45):
And so this KSK guy was like, I'd do it,
I'd take the needle. And I was like, oh, you know,
so he did, and he didn't and he didn't want
any anesthesia. And I was the one because I was
the junior guy, so I gave it to him, right
and I just pressed this thing right into his chest.
You push until you hear click. You know, he's sweating away.
You could tell it's painful. So then now it's my turn,

(58:06):
and I'm like, well, I'm not gonna be shown up
by some German guy, so now I gotta take the
medieval torture device. And this was not any any and
homeboy was like super slow with it, like I just
jabbed it into a strom. This dude is like inserting
it like slowly, and I was just like, you know,
come on, come on, hurry up. And because it was painful,

(58:27):
it's like a bunch of needles, like going into your
chest bone. So yes, a very unpleasant indeed, I will say,
as far as everything else, they were totally locked on.
It's too bad about the Nazi sympathizers, so clean it up,
Clean it up. Men. There were a few other military
notes that I wanted to get to. For one thing,
we did have a pilot die this week, and this

(58:50):
was a pilot on an F sixteen jet on a
training mission at Shaw Air Force Space and the plane crash.
He did unfortunately pass away in the crash. Officials there
at Shaw said that the fighting Falcon, the F sixteen,
was assigned to the twentieth Fighter Wing and it did crash.

(59:13):
Say it was a routine training mission. There was only
one pilot on board, and it happened in the middle
of the night, and it's just a tragedy. And it's like,
you know, this follows like several weeks ago we had
another young pilot whose plane went down into North Atlantic
And it's just a reminder, you know, I tell young
people all the time, it's military training is deadly. Can

(59:34):
you gotta keep your head on a swivel and your
wits about you because it can go bad real quick
at any time, and even in training, and so you
really have to be careful. And you never know, especially
when you're dealing with these multimillion dollar aircraft, what's going
to happen with that? So please be careful out there.
Now another story I touched on this on my podcast

(59:55):
last week at World News with BK. But we do
have the first fem male who is slated to graduate
Green Beret training that's right. The first female candidate will
graduate from the Army's Special Forces Qualification course, and that
was according to Representative Elease Stefanik, who is a New

(01:00:18):
York congresswoman who serves on the House Subcommittee overseeing Special
Operations Forces. Now, recall the first there has been a
woman who did complete the entire Q course in the
nineteen eighties, so technically this is not the first one
to finish the course, but in that case, that woman

(01:00:39):
was ultimately denied the opportunity to graduate, whereas this one will.
And indeed, I actually have one of my podcast listeners
who went through the course with this female, and I
was like, I was paying him for some intel on it,
and he said it was all positive and had good
things to say about it. And it's you know, officials

(01:01:01):
kind of like they're being cagy about it. They don't
want to, you know, publicly announce her name or anything,
because it's supposed to be like a quiet, professional career field.
So anyway, there's no guarantee to that you're going to
be a green bread just because you complete the entire program.
It's like, it's like a weird thing. That woman in

(01:01:24):
nineteen eighty one who finished the course was Captain Kathleen Wilder,
and she actually was told just before graduation that she
had failed a field exercise, right, so that was like
the excuse, like, well, we can't have this chick in here.
She did end up filing a sex discrimination complaint back

(01:01:45):
then and that ultimately determined that she had been wrongly
denied graduation, but by that time she had kind of
like moved on with her life. And so you know what,
there's no bones about It's a tremendous accomplishment. As far
as my own feelings on it, I know everybody wants
to be like woke and say like, yeah, as long
as they meet the standard, blah blah blah. Let me
tell you the standard will change along with the need.

(01:02:06):
And there's I can tell you from all I hear
and I keep my ear pretty close to the ground.
There's a huge push four females and special operations job.
And I've changed my mind a little bit on it.
Like before I was like, not only do they not
belong there or they can't hack it. I've changed my
mind on the second part because, like I told you
guys an hour one, I do some of these assessments

(01:02:28):
and mot know mentor these young people. And I've had
a few female candidates come out and I can tell
you they kick some butt. I mean they we don't
hold back. This is not like a kid's course that
we throw on for these kids, and we take them
to the beach in the middle of the night and
we really smoke them good. We really give them the
real experience. And it's cold, and it's wet, and it's sandy,

(01:02:50):
and they're working hard. They're running miles in that like
little six hours that we have them. Not only are
they taking a PT test, which involves a mile and
a half run, you know, graded push ups, pull ups
and all that. Once they complete the PT test, we
are taking them to the beach and we are working
them hard. And I've had a few female candidates that
where I was I was very impressed by now, as

(01:03:12):
I told one of them after, I said, you know,
I got a lot of respect for you. I just
hope her body holds up, because look, the physiology is
what it is. I've seen huge, grown men who you know,
ten years in a special operations team has just warned
them down to nothing. So I hope it holds up.
For her, I said, I wish her good luck and

(01:03:32):
I hope it works out. Now, as far as the
team itself, it's a tough thing. There's a lot of
sociological reasons that I think it's gonna be tough. You know,
Jealousies come up, there's gonna be problems with the wives,
and these are all things that aren't discussed. Everybody's always
constantly focused on, well did she meet the standard, the
standard being whatever they say it is. But the fact

(01:03:54):
is nobody talks about like the real world, like really
what happens goes on in real life, which is that
there's jealousy's relationships form wives get jealous. I mean, you're
going to go off and train for three weeks with
the three hotty new Special Forces females, and you know,
it's just gonna be there's gonna be problems, I'm guarantee you.

(01:04:16):
And but that ship has sailed, you know, and it's
out of my hands. And I hope it works out
for it. And I wish you're nothing but the best
because that's the direction we're going on. And hey, jump
on the trainer, get out of the way, so we'll
be right back on the Jesse Kelly Show with more
after this. Do you lock your doors at night? You

(01:04:42):
probably do, right, I'm assuming you do. Well? Why well,
you and I both know why you lock your doors
at night because there are dangerous people in this world
and you want to make sure they don't come into
your home to harm you, to harm your family. It's
understandable I do the same thing. So if you lock
your doors at nine and you're relatively aware of your

(01:05:04):
surroundings out there, because you know there are bad people
out there, why are you still leaving your home title
hanging out there on the internet for any criminal to
grab it, get your signature on it, and take a
loan out against it. You know, the internet is where
the criminals are these days, right, lots of them. Go

(01:05:24):
to hometitlelock dot com right now and just register your address.
See if you're already a victim of home title theft,
don't forget to use the code Jesse when you're there.
Get thirty three days of protection hometitlelock dot com. All right,

(01:05:54):
Welcome back, guys, and let's keep it going. And why
don't I give you a little Jeffrey Stein, who certainly
did not kill himself. Update and the news coming out
today that his confidant, just Lane Maxwell has been arrested
on sex abuse charges. Of course, she is the British

(01:06:15):
socialite and Eiris who became his confidant of Jeffrey Epstein,
the disgraced financier, and was later implicated in his alleged
sexual crimes. The FBI did arrest her in New Hampshire
around eight thirty am Thursday on charges that she conspired
with Epstein to sexually abuse miners. She was found living

(01:06:38):
at a reclusive, million dollar luxury home with one hundred
and fifty six acres of rural mountainside property. So she
was already appeared in court and in a brief electronic
appearance because you know COVID, in a New Hampshire federal court.
A judge remanded her to the custody of the US

(01:06:58):
Marshals and ordered her transfer to New York City. She
has not entered a police and her attorney indicated that
he will seek a detention hearing in New York, which
is a prelude to a possible bail request. So what's
in the indictment itself, Well, it's a six count indictment
in the Manhattan Federal Court, and it does allege that

(01:07:20):
Maxwell helped Epstein groom girls as young as fourteen years old,
going back as far as nineteen ninety four. Prosecutors say
she was in the room during and took part in
the sexual abuse of three underage girls at Epstein's Upper
East Side townhouse, his Florida estate, and that creepy ranch

(01:07:41):
in New Mexico. She's facing up to thirty five years
in prison now. According to FBI, they've actually been tracking
her movements for some time. You know, after he died,
everybody's like, where is this Maxwell? Where's Maxwell? And there
was a lot of like scuttlebut on the internet, like
where she could possibly hiding out. A lot of people
thought was like Europe somewhere, but the FBI said, no,

(01:08:03):
we've been tracking her. But she was not indicted until
June twenty ninth. So a little bit about her. She's
the daughter of British media baron Robert Maxwell, and she
was like Epstein's one time girlfriend. I guess she aged
out of that because then after that she just kind
of became his side piece for decades. And she's alleged

(01:08:26):
to have started to help Epstein groom these teen girls
for sex with rich and powerful. Now one of those teens,
and you've probably seen her around on television of Virginia.
Roberts Joffrey leveled the grooming charge against Maxwell in a
twenty fifteen defamation suit, as have a number of other
women since, and the indictment against her said that in

(01:08:50):
some instances, quote, Maxwell was present for and participated in
the sexual abuse of minor victims. End quote. Now remember
just a recap. Epstein was the registered sex offender, and
even though he was registered sex offender, none of his
friends seemed to mind, because he kept company with you know,
captains of industry, plenty of you know, the university people,

(01:09:14):
all that stuff. They really weren't bothered by it that much.
And he was arrested, to remember, last summer on those
new federal charges of exploiting dozens of underaged girls in
the early two thousands, and then, of course, famously he
attempted suicide and custody in late July and then died
after another suicide big air quotes here attempt in early August.

(01:09:37):
Of course, two of the guards tasked with monitoring Epstein
at the Metropolitan Correctional Center now face federal charges for
not properly supervising him before his death. And you know what,
I wonder if we'll ever know really what happened, because
I mean, if nobody, if nobody's talking, and there's no video,
and from what I've seen, and I covered it pretty

(01:09:57):
heavily when it was going on, they said there's no
video of anything, So who knows? And recall that one
day before his suicide, a federal appeals court released the
transcript of a twenty sixteen deposition in which Epstein repeatedly
refused to say whether Maxwell had procured young girls for him.
So Maxwell now faces multiple counts of perjury, as well as,

(01:10:21):
on top of everything else, for allegedly lying in her
own deposition about Epstein's sexual activities. So it is possible,
depending on bail ruling and other stuff, that Jesline Maxwell
could eventually be held in the same facility where Epstein died.
Prosecutors are calling her a serious flight risk and asked

(01:10:42):
that she beheld pending trial because, according to them in
a filing, they said, look, Maxwell has three passports, she's
got a lot of money, she's got extensive international connections,
and a huge incentive not to state in the United States.
And the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence, so one

(01:11:03):
would imagine that, yes, she's the very definition of a
flight risk. Now, as far as how did she live,
I was curious about that. I was like I thought
she had like maybe a sugar daddy or like, who's
paying for her? Well, we know a little bit about
that as well. Federal prosecutors said that Maxwell paid cash
through a limited liability company for the retreat where she

(01:11:26):
had found and that that LLC had been established just
a month before the sale, which was kind of kept
quiet and a local real estate person. They didn't say
exactly where the house was, but they did say that
the description of the home matching listing was seen that

(01:11:48):
sold for a little over a million dollars last December,
and someone familiar with the transaction told NBC News that
the buyer was an anonymous story woman, leading them to
wonder if it was a big name actress or celebrity.
So yeah, again, the FBI said that you'll, you know what,
we knew Maxwell had been in New Hampshire, but they

(01:12:10):
were waiting on that indictment to come through to make
the arrest. So it's gonna be pretty crazy. I don't
think she's gonna make bail and we're probably going to
be seeing her in court pretty soon. I'm sure. I'm
sure she'll just cop a pletial. I doubt she'll really
ever go to trial. There's also a very good Rolling
Stone article about it. If you guys really want to

(01:12:32):
get into the meat of the actual indictment itself. I'm
not going to go into the whole thing because I
want to move on from it, but I encourage you
that now to kind of tag team on that. As
far as creepy people, this one was going around this
week as well. Do you guys do not show MythBusters? Well,

(01:12:55):
one of the hosts is a guy named Adam Savage.
He's the guy with the He's the guy out like
the black rimmed glasses, right. He's not the guy who
wears the beret, which is inexplicable by the way. I mean,
I'm sorry, unless you're like in the military, an elite
military unit, then the beret is cool obviously, But if
you're just like rocking a beret for no reason, especially

(01:13:15):
if you're an American, you're suspect. Honestly, that's just my
personal opinion. Anyway, He's the non Beret guy. But I'm
just saying, keep an eye on the Beret guy. No,
I'm just skiddy. But anyway, Adam Savage is now being
accused in a lawsuit, and I'm gonna be pretty you know,
I'm used to saying graphics stuff on the podcast because
I can say whatever I want, but this is radio,

(01:13:36):
so I'm gonna like gloss over some of these details.
But it's pretty bad. He's being accused by a woman
for allegedly sexually abusing his younger sister for years while
calling himself you ready quote the raping blob end quote.

(01:13:56):
So this flawsuit was filed by Miranda Pacheana. She's fifty
one years old, and she claims this abuse happened when
she was between seven and ten years old. And yeah,
she was this guy's sister. I don't know if he
changed his name or what, or if she did, but
she's claiming, yeah, he would repeatedly. I'm just going to

(01:14:19):
say sexually assault because what he allegedly did is very
graphic and pretty much involves everything gross you can possibly
think of. Now. Savage was said to have been between
nine and twelve years old at the time, and he
would physically prevent this chick from leaving the bed. He's
fifty two years old now, and she is a social

(01:14:42):
worker who actually has written about losing her family after
coming forward about this alleged sexual abuse. So she filed
the lawsuit under the New York Child Victims Act, which
opened a one year lookback period for victims to bring.
Claims that it already exceeded the statute of limitations because

(01:15:03):
that was an issue in May. The original deadline, which
was set in August, was extended by five months due
to the coronavirus. So he is denying all these allegations.
In a statement through his lawyer, he claims that she
has relentlessly and falsely attacked him and all of this

(01:15:24):
is untrue, and it's all about who's pursuing some sort
of financial bunanza. You know, gold and silver have been
worth something forever. They're precious metals. That's what they do.

(01:15:47):
They hold their value. And did you know that your IRA,
your four oh one K, that's all in those risky
stocks and bonds. Do you know that it can be
moved legally into a precious metals IRA, So when that
bubble blows, you're not wiped out and don't you want

(01:16:07):
to protect that money? How hard did you work for
that money? How many things didn't you do in life
so you could set something aside and save up for retirement.
Are you really going to lose it all because these
crazy politicians can't stop playing games with the market. Don't
let that happen to you. Get a precious metals ira

(01:16:28):
from from Birch Gold. Get a Birchgold dot com slash Jesse.
That's b I rc hgold dot com slash Jesse. Go
there today. Okay, welcome back to Jesse Kelly Show. BK

(01:16:55):
here sitting in for Jesse and guys on the podcast
World News with BK do a bit of a political
round up, just in the world of politics. What's going
on if obviously we have the big election going on,
it's we're gonna have Trump versus Sleepy Joe Biden. And
according to all the polls, Sleepy Joe rising in the
polls as he peers out from his basement bunker. But

(01:17:18):
he is maintaining a double digit lead over Donald Trump.
It's a wide margin nationally and this has been pretty
consistent with the rest of the polls. The Biden is
well in front. This is the poll from the Monmouth University,
a well respected poll. It does shoe Biden with a
twelve point nationwide lead fifty three percent to forty one

(01:17:40):
percent among registered voters. Now this is kind of a
trend because last month Monmouth poll told a similar story,
with the Democratic nominee holding fifty two percent support compared
with Trump's forty one percent. Now, part of this survey,
the poll that's interesting, highlighted one of Trump's major obstacles

(01:18:01):
to reelection, the amount of the electorate which has made
up its mind against him. Half of registered voters say
they are not at all likely to support Trump, while
thirty nine percent say the same for Biden. Now, this
is not going to be like, I don't know why,
Like they seem the White House seems very calm about
all this, And I'm not exactly why they think that,

(01:18:23):
because their comeback is always the same. It's always like, oh, well,
look at twenty sixteen polls were wrong, then too okay,
fair enough. However, for one in twenty sixteen, Trump benefited
from a very unpopular opponent in Hillary Clinton, and Biden's
favorability ratings show a different picture. Forty four percent of

(01:18:45):
voters view the former vice president favorably, and that is
the same percentage that view him unfavorably. However, Trump is different.
Trump's rating his Let me see if I can decipher
this horror written political article. Basically, the unfavorable for Trump
is seventeen points higher than his favorable and it's not

(01:19:10):
like a ratio that you want right here, right here,
right now, especially now, Biden's lead has increased in every
Monmouth pull since March four months ago is three percentage
points and now it is up to twelve. Now Political
according to their reporting, they're saying that Trump has privately

(01:19:30):
come to the realization in recent days that he's not
doing well and he's not looking good for reelection. Clearly
a lot going on, I mean he is. You got
the coronavirus which has been and we're going to talk
about coronavirus later. I got a ton of updates for that,
the rioting that's been going on, all the racial strife
in America, and it's just not looking good for him,

(01:19:52):
and people are unhappy and they're looking for a change.
And Joe Biden, whatever you want, Joe Biden is likable. Now.
The funny thing is Joe Biden clearly will not be
like the guy. I mean, he's kind of cognitively slipped
a little bit, clearly, and who hasn't when you start
turning in your late seventies and eighties, there's no shame
in it. But he's gonna surround himself to Pete. I'm

(01:20:13):
not worried about Biden himself. I'm worried about the people
he's gonna surround himself with. And he's going to have
all these young far leftist activists in his administration and
that's gonna be the real power. And everybody's always like, oh, Joe,
Biden's pretty moderate, and I'm like, you, dope, do you
really think he's gonna be making decisions? Come on now,
let's be real here. No, he's going to have a young,

(01:20:35):
far left administration that's going to push him to the
left even more. And that's what's going to happen. But
you know what, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Elections
have consequences. It's all about who shows up. And right now,
if everybody's pissed off at Drump, then Biden, sleepy Joe
will rise and probably take the election. At this point,

(01:20:56):
how at this point, how could you say that it
looked good for Trump in any way, shape or form.
I mean, I'm trying to be real with you guys.
I know, like you know, a lot of people listen
to show are you know, right waging conservative? Whatever? That's fine,
I'm all about. I don't take politicals. I just look
at an issue and say, like, this is what I think,
and try to give you a logical, compelling argument about it.

(01:21:18):
And I'm just saying, how could you make a compelling
argument that Trump is going to win this election? The
electoral map doesn't look good, the nationwide poles don't look good,
the society doesn't look good. So it's just not looking
good for him at all. Now, a few other political
notes for one thing. Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth, a combat

(01:21:39):
veteran from Illinois, of course, did announce on Thursday that
she plans to block more than one thousand, one hundred
military promotions until she receives confirmation from Defense Secretary Mark
Esper that he will not block an expected promotion for
an army officer who was a key witness in President
Donald Trump's impeachment proceeding. You remember this guy. This was

(01:22:01):
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindemann. He's the guy who testified before
the House about Trump's dealing with Ukraine basically, and she
wants a guarantee that Esper will not block his promotion
to full colonel. So she said she will lift her

(01:22:21):
hold on that once Esper confirms that it makes some
kind of promise. I don't know if he's gonna write
it or promote him and then say see, it's all
good now. I don't know. I'm not sure how that works.
And then finally, quickly, there was a Senate primary in
Kentucky this week where a Democrat, Amy McGrath did defeat

(01:22:42):
Charles Booker in a very close Senate primary race. Booker,
of course, was the black African American state lawmaker who
ran on a progressive platform, and he was all the
liberals on Twitter were all about him, and somehow though
Democratic Amy McGrath was able to win, she did lead

(01:23:03):
Booker by about two percentage points as the state counted
the final mail in ballots a week after the election.
Of course, she will go on to try and unseat
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. She is forty five and
a marine veteran. It's funny this story from CNBC. They
keep capitalizing black to describe African Americans, and they're also

(01:23:23):
just They're also capitalizing of white to describe McGrath, which
is jarring to the nights writing English are your team's

(01:24:49):
BK back here on the Jesse Kelly Show, and just
to top off this hour, you guys. I always like
to finish on a high note each hour. And let's
go to Polk County, Florida, one of my favorite counties
for their greatly named Sheriff Grady Judd, who's constantly chasing
down sexual deviance of all kind. And he's got a
live one this week when he arrested a Lake Gibson

(01:25:11):
Middle School teacher get Ready, after she allegedly performed a
sex act on a teenager at his sister's graduation party.
That's right, she Leslie bush Art, forty nine years old,
has been arrested for some reason. At the graduation party,

(01:25:33):
she was like feeling it and told another person at
the party what she did, and then they told the
teenager's mother, the mother who then confronted Bushart, who quickly
left the party. And then after that she was snatched
up by my man, Grady Judge. She's tried to explain
to say she was drunk, she tried to smoke marijuana

(01:25:55):
with a teenager, but she was too drunk to do so.
She had been a teacher or twenty nine years and
that is no good. And you know I'm looking at
her mug shot right now, and I'm just saying if
I was that kid, I'm not, I wouldn't be down
with it, but maybe a different teenager would. We'll be
back to the last hour of the Jesse Kelly Show.

(01:26:26):
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. This is a Jesse
Kelly Show. All right, back here with the Jesse Kelly Show,

(01:26:47):
and it is b K sitting in for Jesse, of course,
the host of the World News with VK podcast, and
I want to thank Jesse one more time for letting
me fill in for him. So I thought i'd start
this hour with some coronavirus up dates. Of course, on
the podcasts have been giving many coronavirus updates for many,
many months, and it's not going away. As a matter
of fact, in some aspects, it does appear to be accelerating.

(01:27:09):
But let's get some quick stats. And depending on what
market you're listening in, these stats will probably be out
of date because the enormous growth rate, but let's do
it anyway. Worldwide, we're looking at coronavirus confirmed cases of
ten million, nine hundred and eighty four thousand plus and
that translates into five hundred and twenty four thousand, thirty

(01:27:32):
nine deaths. As far as the United States is concerned,
we're sitting at a total confirmed case count of two million,
eight hundred and thirty seven thousand, one hundred and eighty nine,
and our total deaths in the United States is one
hundred and thirty one thousand, four hundred and eighty five.
Just a crazy number. And I like to use the

(01:27:54):
New York Times's kind of coronavirus live updates page. It's
very good. And yes, the United States now has surpassed
fifty thousand new cases in a single day for the
first time. That's right. More than fifty three thousand new
coronavirus infections were reported across the US just on Thursday,

(01:28:17):
as the country set a new daily case record for
the sixth time in nine days. Now, this comes as
a lot of the country's most populous states reported major surges,
and now everybody's trying to figure out what they're going
to do. At least eight states reported single day case
records on Thursday, Alaska, Arkansas, California where I'm at, Florida, Georgia, Montana,

(01:28:41):
South Carolina, and Tennessee. Now, Thursday's reported total was an
eighty seven percent increase in daily cases from two weeks ago,
and that's kind of when a lot of states started
reopening after those extensive lockdowns eased the outbreak. But now
instead of being confined to the northeast from Uber in
New York City was just a disaster for a long time,

(01:29:03):
the surgeon cases has shifted to the south and to
the west, and of course we've got the Independence Holiday
weekend coming up here. I can tell you. In California,
so far, they have not closed the San Diego beaches,
but I will be shocked if they don't. As far

(01:29:25):
as I know, I know La County has closed all
the beaches. Santa Barbara County was closing the beaches, Ventura
County is closing the beaches. I know at least part
of Orange County is closing the beaches. And in San Diego,
I know for sure that they've already said the parking
lots are closed, right But I can't imagine they're going
to just sit there and allow the entire freaking state

(01:29:49):
to come down and pile into San Diego, which is
the very thing they're hoping to avoid now. Of course,
there's a long debate about you know, beaches, is that
really a vector zone? For the coronavirus. And that's a
whole our argument that I really don't want to get
into because mostly because I don't really have new time.
But remember remember doctor Anthony Fauci. Of course he's the expert, right,

(01:30:10):
he warned that new infections could rise to one hundred
thousand to a day. Now on Thursday alone, Florida reported
over ten thousand cases in a single day. And in California,
where by the way, some of our recently open businesses
are already being shut down, including bars. Restaurants like places

(01:30:30):
that have food and booze are still open, but if
it's just a bar they're being they're already shut down again. Well,
new case reports went from about two thousand, five hundred
California to more than eight thousand, two hundred on Thursday.
So how bad exactly is this going to get? Because Ohio, Kansas, Louisiana,

(01:30:53):
they all looked pretty stable long not long ago posted
and those three states posted some of their highest single
day totals in weeks. Now. I have to I do
have to like caveat this, and I have some amusement,
but I love the way the media is just bending
over backwards, not to blame certain large, huge gatherings that

(01:31:16):
happened just about two weeks ago, can you guys. I
can't really put my finger on it, but I seem
to recall there were massive outdoor gatherings of many people,
most not a lot of them not wearing masks, all
screaming and shouting in close quarters. I don't really remember
exactly the context of those gatherings, but I sort of

(01:31:37):
remember those going on. But according to the news media,
that had nothing to do with the surge we're going
through now, of course, not right, no, no, no, it
was all It was all of you who just breathed
too hard in restaurants. Now. Governor Greg Abbott of Texas
he issued an order on Thursday requiring most Texans to

(01:31:57):
wear masks in public, and that was a versal for him.
The order applies to Texas counties with twenty or more
coronavirus cases. And remember that Abbot of a Republican. Of course,
he opposed attempts by Democratic mayors and other local officials
to require everyone in their cities to wear masks in public.
So this is like a total switch. Now. Wednesday, Texas

(01:32:20):
did report a record of more than eight thousand new
cases and then another seventy three hundred on Thursday. So
it's just it's not going well. I mean, even the
aging rapper Vanilla Ice. Yes, that's right, the barometer of
public opinion has yielded to police from local health officials.

(01:32:42):
He is backing off a planned July fourth concert at
Lake Travis and Texas, so you will not be able
to hear mister Ice and his one song. I mean,
what else does he play? I wonder you know he's
got the one right, everybody knows the one Ice Ice Baby.
Of course, other than that, I'm not really familiar with
his body of work. So it's not going well across

(01:33:10):
the country. And now the chief scientists of the World
Health Organization says that just because young people are vulnerable
to severe complications from the virus, they don't they can't really,
you know, just because they're not dying, you know, they're
still have problems and they shouldn't be complacent. And like
in Seattle, at least eighty students living in a frat

(01:33:31):
house at the University of Washington have tested positive for
the virus. And they're the New York Times. It's funny.
They list many many other examples of people getting the coronavirus,
and again studiously avoiding all of the mass protests that
we've seen a few weeks ago, which I find am using,
and recall that officials aren't really asking people if they've
attended to protest, at least not in New York or California.

(01:33:55):
So only a dozen states have managed to keep new
case levels flat or declining. Now New York, which is
still well in the front of the pack when it
comes to deaths, has been staying kind of flat as
far as cases. And remember, as I always say, you
have to keep this in perspective, with more testing, you're

(01:34:15):
going to get more cases. Okay, to me, it's the
hot The whole point of the lockdown was to bend
the curve, keep the hospitals from being overrun. Because remember
at the very beginning you got we didn't know what
we were dealing with. We're like, we've got to keep
the hospitals from being overrun, the ICUs, the ventilators, the
whole thing. And now we just have a lot of cases. Now.

(01:34:38):
The state showing the biggest decline in new cases over
the past two weeks was New Hampshire. It is only
averaging twenty nine new cases a day, which is not
very much. Now the other states where cases have stayed
largely the same, the case counts like Vermont, Maryland, Virginia, Nebraska,

(01:34:58):
South Dakota, stuff like that. So, I mean, it's hard
to say. And now they're wondering, like what are we
gonna do about the schools? What are you going to
do about the students and everything else? And it's it's
just it's just tough. They have another example here, which
I thought was funny. A two hundred people may have
been exposed to coronavirus at a Planet Fitness in West Virginia. Yeah,

(01:35:21):
they opened the gym up, and uh there they go
at Planet Fitness of all places. Now it's funny because
I avoid public gyms like the plague. Speaking the plague,
I go to the base. I go to the gyms
on base because you know, I'm a retired military. But
they are still closed. Yeah, they never did open back up.
So I've been forced to cope with it by doing

(01:35:41):
other things. I've got my kettle bells in my yard.
That's the way I can stay like jacked tan, you know,
the ab veins rippling across the abdominal muscles. It's it's
very good. And I get in the ocean a lot,
go for a lot of runs and swims in like that.
But I missed the gym, you know, I missed the
missed the squat rack and everything else, the pull up bars.
That's annoying not to have a pull up bar. There's

(01:36:03):
only so much you can improvise at home. I will
tell you though, as your personal fitness instructor. If you
have nothing else but a pair of heavy kettlebells, you'll
be doing pretty good in your home. Jim, you too
can be jacked in tan and stay out of the
planet fitness. I'll have more coronavirus stuff. Why don't we
come back home? Titlelock dot com. You do all the

(01:36:34):
things you do to protect yourself and your family, and
they're good things. I realized that. But do you want
to leave this gigantic gap in your family's security and
your family's financial security. You know your home title is
available online right? And when I say available, I don't
just mean legally. I mean criminals can get their hands
on your home title, get your signature on your home title,

(01:36:59):
take out a loan against it, and you have no
idea until you get a late notice from the bank
and the mail saying why haven't you paid this yet?
And you're stuck with a massive financial obligation. It's happening
right now. It's sweeping the country right now because it's
so easy for these cyber criminals to do it unless
you have hometitlelock dot com. Go to hometitlelock dot com.

(01:37:23):
Used to co Jesse, get yourself thirty three days of protection,
hometitlelock dot com. Okay, welcome back you guys. Bk here
and let's keep going with our coronavirus update. And let's

(01:37:44):
go back here to my state of California, where Governor
Gavin Newsom is imploring residents to refrain from gathering with
people outside their household. And again this was none of
this was to be had two weeks ago and we
had tens of thousands of people in the street. But
he did unveil a new public awareness campaign about the

(01:38:06):
importance of wearing masks. And you know this is something
I don't I don't get the mask thing. Okay, so
at the beginning, remember the mask thing, they said, don't
wear the mask because we needed it all for the
frontline workers, grocery store workers, and all that, and then
they said, well, and it doesn't work anyway, right, that
was the first story. And now they're saying, well, no,

(01:38:28):
the mask does work. And the science, all the new
science is saying that, yes, masks are effective in preventing
your droplets when you're all gross and spewing out all
of your illnesses, that it prevents it from flying all
over the place, and it can be effective in reducing
the spread of coronavirus. Okay, fine, I don't understand like
the anti mask militancy. I get being anti mask, and

(01:38:51):
don't get me wrong, I'm not going to wear the mask.
Like if I'm walking down the sidewalk and nobody's around me,
and I'm in southern California, beautiful San Diego by the
beach and I'm walking down a sidewalk and it's like
eighty five degrees outside. Am I going to wear the mask?
Probably not unless I'm around people, but I will. I

(01:39:12):
have to wear a mask to go in at to
any store. And I don't understand these people who are
all the videos I play and I play them all,
all the meltdowns on the podcast, and I play them
all and I don't understand the militancy. It's like, dude,
just first of all, that's their rule, Okay, And if
you think it's stupid, fine, is it really a big
fricking deal to just reach in your pocket put the

(01:39:34):
mask on? And actually, now that I've kind of been
wearing it in like the cramped public spaces, I do
kind of like it because now I'm much more aware
of looking around at all these like gross people, and
I'm like, oh my god, like, look at that dude
over there. He's got something he's you know, and I
don't want his droplets on me. So if they're forcing
him to wear a mask while I'm stuck inside with him,

(01:39:57):
I'm not totally opposed to it. Yeah, and again I've
heard all the conspiracy theories online. Oh it's a piece
of cotton, it doesn't work, Okay, Well, the scientists they
say it's effective. So my point is it's not worth
it to me to cause like a huge scene and
be one of these viral videos of people who absolutely
refuse to do it. It just doesn't make any sense

(01:40:19):
to me. You know, it doesn't make you like something
like rebel or something. It just makes you kind of
a jerk. Honestly, It's not a big deal, is the point.
So again, I'm not that's my argument. It's not like
I'm not saying, like, wearing your car driving alone by yourself,
that's stupid. I see people doing that, and I'm like, Okay, congratulations,

(01:40:39):
you're a huge dummy. But I'm gonna wear I'll wear it,
and I want to be like a good citizen, so
I'll wear the mask, especially when i'm inside of like
grocery stores and stuff. Okay, so that's my little mask rant.
I mean, get over it, dude. There's worse things to do. Now.
Let's talk about deaths. And this is something because I've

(01:41:00):
talked a lot about it. I'm like, look, we have
a lot of cases, but what are the deaths doing. Okay, Well,
with all this coronavirus trend, the number of new cases
is surging. And that's, by the way, unlike in most
other affluent countries. And now we have the Independence Day
weekend coming up right. However, the percentage of virus patients

(01:41:21):
who die from coronavirus has continued to decline. Indeed, coronavirus
deaths in the United States have been falling for most
of the last ten weeks and This is something that
I really don't think the media has done a good
job of explaining. Shockingly, they're so terrible. And the deaths

(01:41:44):
have been falling to about six hundred a day recently.
Now that's you know, it's not nothing, but that's down
for more than two thousand deaths a day in late April.
And that's even though the overall caseload has been viking lately.
So you know, the deaths. There's a couple of different

(01:42:06):
reasons for this, and I want to tell you why.
First of all, medical treatment has improved. Remember you guys,
when this first happened, we didn't know what we're dealing with. Well,
now doctors and nurses are diagnosing the virus quicker because
we have widespread testing. And now they're also having some
success treating drugs, treating the symptoms with other drugs, and
the sooner you get treatment to people, the better they're

(01:42:27):
going to do. A second factor's older people are being
a lot more careful. Remember at the beginning, that's who
was really dropping dead or the old people and the
elderly make up a falling percentage of new virus cases,
which has helped reduce the death rate. So the flip
side of that, of course, is that greater caution among

(01:42:47):
the elderly is kind of balanced out by many middle
aged and younger people acting as if they're invulnerable. And
the increased social activity air quotes here that's code for
the protests, has fueled and explosion over the last three weeks.
So you know, the trend line looks good as far

(01:43:11):
as death right now, in a typical fatal case, in
case you're warningly, how long does it take to die
from coronavirus, Well, death comes three to five weeks after
contraction of the virus. So we will see what happens
with this latest search. Now. As far as other parts
of the world and other parts of the country, there

(01:43:34):
was a coronavirus outbreak inside the American embassy in Saudi Arabia.
There was a coronavirus at a military base in Kuwait
as well. In suburban New York, Rockland County issued subpoenas
to eight people who have refused to provide information about
a party that appears to have become a super spreader event.

(01:43:59):
And yeah, so it's it's not showing any signs of
dissipating here, and I don't know what to tell you
you still got to be careful. I don't know, are
people going to go to the beach. We'll see. The
thing is, these governors are already reeling. The state budgets
have been enormously shacked by all the business shutdowns, and
you can tell these guys do not want to shut down,

(01:44:21):
but they're looking at these numbers and they're like freaking
out about it. Washington State has paused their reopening process
for at least two weeks now. As far as other
parts of the country, Miami Dade County is issuing a
county wide curfew to control the spread of COVID nineteen

(01:44:46):
and now businesses in Washington State speaking of the mask.
By the way, the state businesses there cannot legally serve
customers unless the patron wears a mask. So yes, and
then we have churches shut down, and basically we're even
though the deaths are down, it's just an alarming thing.
And you just don't know when you're going to become

(01:45:08):
go from you know, asymptomatic to symptomatic. And it's just, uh,
I don't know, like it just seems like there's no
end in sight to any of this. So it's like
that's the thing. It's like, what's the end game here?
We can't have a society of functioning society like this.
I don't think much longer, like what's the what's the
end blay, what's the end game? Is the endgame? Like

(01:45:29):
you know, a long period of time where we have
declining cases or how is it going to be? And
then just quickly around the world, Tokyo, Japan has seen
a surge in new cases and they are not asking
businesses to close at this time. Days after wedding in India,
the groom died and at least one hundred guests that

(01:45:51):
is wedding tested positive for the virus there. In recent weeks,
Brazil has emerged as one of the world's severe hotspots.
They're can only to the United States, and the European
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged the European Union
countries to step up the testing there and all the

(01:46:12):
contact tracing. Remember as far as here, contact tracing is
mostly voluntary, you know. That's where you have to like
say like okay, here's where I was and give all
your information over and a lot of people haven't done that. Meanwhile,
a lockdown has been reimposed in the West Bank over
there in the region of Israel, and you know, God

(01:46:33):
knows they have enough problems that they are on already,
so it's not looking good. But in the US is
kind of like not looking good out of all of them,
and so we are we're going in the wrong direction
as far as case count. Hopefully people figured out and
go back, because I remember, I speaking for myself, I
remember the first couple of weeks, I was like full on,

(01:46:53):
barely left the house, handwashing like crazy, you know, doing
the map. I was doing a whole thing. And then yeah,
you get casual after a while, and people have So
we'll just keep an eye on it and hopefully we
get through this together. We'll come back on the Jesse
Kelly Show and go more international news for you right
back after this. You know, I trust a lot of

(01:47:22):
things in this life. I trust things like experience, and
I trust when a financial company has an A plus
rating from the Better Business Bureau. You know, Birch Gold
has an A plus rating from Better Business Bureau. Do
you know how difficult it is to get an A
plus rating from the Better Business Bureau? I do know.

(01:47:43):
I've been in small business it's extremely hard. This is
not some fly by night company. They will care for
your finances and guide you through this process of moving
your IRA, your four oh one K into a precious
metals IRA, so you are not financially crushed. Don't you
want that safety for the money you've worked hard for?

(01:48:05):
You know you do. Go to Birchgold dot com slash jesse.
That's b I rc hgold dot com slash jesse. Protect
your retirement, protect your financial future. Okay, back here with

(01:48:29):
the Jesse Kelly Show, b K filling in and guys,
I thought we'd go back to our world news and
let's go to Iran with what happened there this week.
We're an explosion from a gas leak and a medical
clinic in northern Tehran has killed at least nineteen people.
That's according to Iranian state TV. They said the dead

(01:48:49):
included actually fifteen women and four men. Now they did
add that firefighters had rescued at least twenty people there,
and a deputy Tehran governor told the state television that
a leak from a medical gas tanks in the building
was the cause of the explosion and ensuing fire. So

(01:49:12):
that's no good over there. Now, let's go back to Pakistan.
I mentioned them at the beginning of the show. And
you know this is just enraging because a ruling by
Pakistan's Supreme Court this week did pave the way for
a man convicted of involvement in the gruesome two thousand
and two murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl to walk

(01:49:35):
free later this week. You guys remember that, Remember that
horrible video of him on his knees, Yeah, and a knife.
I have to paint a picture here. Pakistan's Supreme Court
did refuse a government request to suspend a lower court's
ruling exonerating Ahmed Omar said Shaikh of Pearl's murder before

(01:49:59):
a ninety a detention order expires on Thursday, and the
Supreme Court also refused to hear the appeal immediately, so
he was ordered to maintain in detention. Basically, this chic
guy after a high court overturned the murder conviction and
the death sentence. But and that got huge reaction. Obviously

(01:50:22):
outraged from Pearls family, outrage from the United States government
and media rights groups. Now they did uphold a kidnapping
charge that carries a seven year sentence. Now, this Saieg
Shake guy has been in prison for eighteen years, all
spent on death row. According to his lawyer, Shaik has

(01:50:46):
been in solitary confinement the whole time. Now, Daniel Pearl's
parents have also filed an appeal to Pakistan's Supreme Court,
you know, challenging that lower court ruling. But yeah, they
actually also quitted three others accused in the case. And
these three other guys were all earlier sentenced to life

(01:51:07):
in prison. One of them, or the guy who actually
is about to walk free, said shake. Did you guys
know he was a former student at the London School
of Economics. You know, so so much for that. You know,
poverty causes all this rage crap that we've been spoon
fed for decades. Remember, Daniel Pearl was working for the
Wall Street Journal and he was kidnapped in Pakistan in

(01:51:30):
early two thousand and two while working on a story
about Islamic militants, and the videotape received by US diplomats
in February of that year confirmed that the thirty eight
year old was dead and yes, he had been beheaded.
I'm sure many of you probably saw the absolutely horrific
video where you can hear the guy like screaming. And

(01:51:51):
it wasn't exactly a fast beheading, if you know what
I mean. It was just awful, so said the killer.
He actually said he had developed a personal relationship with
Pearl before Pearl was kidnapped, and they both like talked
about their wives were both pregnant at the time, by
the way, and yeah, it's it's just unbelievable. They did

(01:52:15):
conclude that the order to kidnap him, and the actual
guy who actually beheaded him was Kaleg Shaik Mohammed. You
remember that name, of course. Kalege Shake Mohammed was arrested
in Pakistan in two thousand and three and then was
later described as the architect of the nine to eleven

(01:52:36):
attacks on the United States. He is currently a prisoner
at the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. So
you know what, all these guys can just rot in
prison for the rest of their life as far as
I'm concerned, I'm sure pretty much every American feels the
exact same way I do. Now, what else, Let's go

(01:52:58):
to this crazy story from US Customs and Border Protection
where officers with that agency detained a shipment of almost
thirteen tons of wigs and other human hair products suspected
of being made through forced labor in China. This was
according to axios dot Com, and US government officials told

(01:53:20):
Axios to Stuff obviously importing products with forced labor in
the United States is illegal. It's extremely difficult to trace
US supply chains back to factories in China that used
forced labor. So this is like a rare event that
they actually that they actually happened. So the Customs and
Border Protection did issue a withhold release order for Lop

(01:53:44):
County Maxon Hair Products Company in southern China, requiring US
ports of entry to detain any shipments from that company
to the United States. Therefore, CBP officials at the Port
of New York subsequently detained the shipment of these hair
product goods and other human hair products. So remember if

(01:54:07):
you didn't know, the Chinese government has instituted forced labor
on a mass scale as part of its campaign to
subjugate and forcibly assimilate the Weegars and other Muslim ethnic minorities.
And they say that more than a million Wegars, that is,
the Muslim minority in China, have been detained in a

(01:54:27):
string of concentration camps in China. Some of these former
detainees are sent to work in factories where they are
under tight surveillance, of course, and numerous female survivors have
said that women's heads were shaved when they were admitted
to camps, and they actually think these hair products came
out of basically these human slaves. It's just a pretty

(01:54:50):
pretty gnarly and grotesque. So keep an eye on that
one and just know where your stuff is coming from. Now,
what else, Let's go to the police in the nether
Lens and indeed all over Europe, they basically hacked into

(01:55:10):
an encrypted network called encrow chat. The law enforcement was
and they said by doing this they were able to
monitor criminal activity in real time, which allowed them to
stop drug deals and even murder. And the police in
Europe over there said they've already arrested hundreds of people
on suspicion of drug trafficking and other crimes after successfully

(01:55:33):
hacking into that encrypted phone network, which by the way,
is being used by organized criminals all over the world.
Official set in a statement there that millions of messages
were read in real time while the people didn't even
know what was going on and they just watched them
all do it live. So this encrow chat it provided

(01:55:55):
specifically altered phones for about eleven hundred bucks, right, and
the ccifically altered phones had no camera, no microphone, and
no GPS. And this network provided subscriptions with global coverage
for about one thousand, six hundred dollars US over six months,
even offering round the clock tech support. Now it's obviously

(01:56:17):
been shut down since then, but she said this, one
of the spokespeople said, this phone and this whole network
was being widely used because it promised anonymity and complete
secrecy to its users. Now the authority had been the
authorities there had been monitoring the network for over two
months before it was shut down, and they these guys

(01:56:40):
just think, not only have they are arrested hundreds, but
there's yet many more to come. In Britain alone, the
police made nearly seven hundred and fifty arrests and you're
ready for this number, seized sixty seven million dollars in cash.
That's a lot of cash. And then in the Netherlands
they may sixty arrest and they seized twenty two thousand

(01:57:02):
pounds of cocaine, one hundred and fifty four pounds of
heroin and three thousand, three hundred pounds of crystal meth.
And they also dismantled tons of drug labs, seize twenty
five vehicles with all kinds of secret compartments and craziness. Now,
this investigation into this encrypted chat en crow Chat began

(01:57:23):
in twenty seventeen. It's kind of started in France, and
that's when they figured out, like, we've got these encrypted servers.
And indeed, the network sent out a warning to its
users that it had been infiltrated by government entities and
advised customers to immediately get rid of their phones. I
wonder if they've arrested any of the It does not

(01:57:45):
say in this article whether like the people who actually
made this network and built the encryption system have been
arrested at all. I mean, I imaginely so they're like
an accessory or crime. They're like aiding and abetting by saying, hey,
we're busted, so you better clean out your phone. I
can't imagine the authorities have let them off. Unfortunately, this
article I have in front of me does not say so.
So we'll just have to wait and here mar okay,

(01:58:08):
let's come back on the Jesse Kelly show. I love
my ead sleep I do it is. It is something
that has changed my work. It hasn't just changed how

(01:58:28):
I am at home, although it's done that too. It's
changed my work. My mind is so much clearer. And
when you're not sleeping, you're always in this kind of fog.
But the thing is, once you're in it for long enough,
you don't even realize just how foggy it is until
it's clear. That's what's really hit home for me, not

(01:58:51):
just how much better I feel now, how bad I
felt and didn't even know it before. And you can
try EBB Sleep for sixty days risk free, risk free.

Don't forget when you're there, use the promo code Jesse
get yourself twenty five bucks off. All right, guys, back
with more news for you. B K here filling in

(01:59:34):
for Jesse Kelly, and I thought i'd do a little
bit of segment on the ongoing kind of racial conniption
that the entire country has been going under. So I
have a few stories for you One of them I
thought was kind of a semi amusing was this story
about a recent Harvard graduate named Clara jan Over. She

(01:59:57):
did graduate from Harvard in May with a degree and
government and psychology. Well, she went viral, as one does
these days, because she made a TikTok basically threatening to
attack anyone who had the nerve to say the forbidden
phrase all lives matter. Of course, that is highly problematic

(02:00:20):
in this day and age which we live in, to
say all lives matter. So I'm gonna play the clip
of Clara Janover first saying this on TikTok, and this
got I'm looking at the you know how many views
this Scott just on Twitter two point three million views
for Clara. So let's listen to the clip here where
she says, a person who has the sheer nerve, the

(02:00:41):
sheer entitled cau cassity to say all lives matter, I'm
a stab you. I'm a stab you, And while you're
struggling and bleeding out, I'm gonna show you my paper
cut and say my cut matters too. Okay, So that's
the original clip that went around, right, and so that
everybody got. She got tons of crap for it as
one would expect. I mean it's like a threat. And

(02:01:05):
the funny part was, this is the difference between like,
you know, a college campus in real life. Because she
apparently had a job offer waiting to go on for
her right and it was supposed to be with a
company called Deloitte, and they decided, you know what, we're
not really down with having a future employee of ours,

(02:01:26):
especially somebody who hasn't even started work yet, you know,
making like these threats on social media and bringing a
lot of unwanted attention to our company. And most corporate
America companies are like that. So they rescinded their job
offer to her, and so she of course made a
follow up video with that one as well. Let's listen

(02:01:46):
to this. This This is what Trump supporters want it because
standing out for a Black Lives matter wante me in
a place online to be seen by millions of people.
The job that I had work really hard to get
and mental lot to me. This called me and fired
me because of everything. I don't know if everyone's seen,

(02:02:08):
but it's been circulating a lot. My Black Lives Matter
tiktoks were picked up by conservatives and spread and shaired
and people were demanding that I'd be fired, which I
just got mad alp that I worked really hard for
even though they claim to stand again systematic bias, racism,
and unequal treatment. So to the thousands of Trump supporters

(02:02:30):
sending me messages, death threats, and violent messages, I'm still
not going to stop talking about and defending black lives matter. Okay,
very good. Well you don't have to, and you're freeze
talk about whatever you want, and employers are free to
disinvite you from joining their company. So that's the way
that goes. And you learned a hard lesson. Now let's
talk about a few of the other kind of crazy

(02:02:53):
things are going out. First of all, let's talk about
the Washington Redskins, and the news is now. Of course,
they play in FedEx Field, right, and the shipping giant
FedEx paid two hundred and five million dollars for the
naming rights to the Washington Redskins stadium that began in
nineteen ninety nine. So they are now calling on the

(02:03:18):
Washington Redskins to drop the Redskins name. And this of
course comes on the heels as all the Confederate statues
are coming down. Mascots, I talked heavily on the podcast
about the you know an Jemima and Uncle Ben and
everything else, the killing of George Floyd, all the unrest
over police misconduct kind of you know, lit this debate

(02:03:40):
way up now. FedEx did say in a statement that
they have communicated to what they called the team in Washington.
They won't even say the name. That's funny our request
that they changed the team name. FedEx would not comment
further on the matter, and the Redskins have not immediately
responded to wests for comment. You know. And it's other

(02:04:02):
stuff too, Like on Nike's retail website, the Washington Redskins
were absent from a drop down menu for a football
jersey sale on Thursday, and it's not clear if that
was intentional or not. And meanwhile, in other sports news,
a source, according to ESPN dot com, the NFL is

(02:04:25):
expected to play what they are calling the what is
nicknamed the Black National Anthem, a song called lift Every
Voice and Sing, and that is going to be expected
to be performed live or played before every week one
NFL game, and the league is considering a variety of
other measures to recognize victims of police brutality and One

(02:04:49):
of the things that's rumored is they're going to like
where the names of victims of police brutality, like on
the actual jerseys themselves, And I'm not sure what that's
going to accomplish, right, I mean, they have so the
problems we have in the cities are so terrible. I'm
looking at a story right now from ABC News. Two

(02:05:09):
teenage boys were shot to death in Chicago after asking
the suspect just how tall he was. They were buying
candy from a store. You believe this. The guy who
shot them dead was nineteen years old, and one kid
was seventeen and one was sixteen, both killed just for
asking a guy how tall he was. And then also

(02:05:33):
in Chicago, a one year old baby boy was shot
and killed. And they don't think it's random. So for
all the catterwauling about these statues and all that nonsense,
there's a lot bigger problems going on, and I just
don't see the end of it because it seems like
nobody really wants to talk about it, and I think
it's just going to continue. It's really a tragedy when,

(02:05:53):
especially when children are being killed. So a lot to
talk about there, and we'll talk about more with Jesse
Kelly's show right after this. You're never completely ready to
adopt a teen. For late nights writing English papers are

(02:06:18):
your teen's music taste for dinners where they talk more
on their phone than with you. For the first time
