And the reason I 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.160 say it like that is I have been that guy. 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.600 I've been that guy. I dipped for so long, and 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:14.520 what would happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.800 It's bad for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.120 I don't need any help.

It's an ask Doctor 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:39.160 Jesse Friday. Can you feel it in the air? We 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.920 need to talk about drugs. Hang on, we'll get to that. 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.480 It's that. It'll be in a second. We have the 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.000 governor of Nebraska coming on today. I just want to 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:53.800 point out Jewish producer Chris and I about like two 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.880 years ago we were doing a seven to eight o'clock 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:02.000 at night show a nobody listened to, and now we 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.560 have governors in the country calling and asking to come 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:09.840 on the show. Sweet, we have no business being here 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.280 at all. These asked Doctor Jesse questions are all over 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.520 the map. Obviously, we have important ones like who would 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:22.079 win in a fight? Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday or Clint Eastwood, 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.480 what Chris. But it also is we have some heavy 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.720 ones today. There's a heavy marriage question today. Lady has 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.160 a real acts to grind with a hubby. We have 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:36.160 a arranged marriage question. Guy wants to know about teaching 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.240 his kids something. Someone else wants to talk about Disney. 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:46.600 Somebody's moving their family. It is all over the map. Politics, history, everything. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.760 It's going to be. This is gonna be our best 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.680 day ever because I'm so excited. But first let's talk 0:02:53.720 --> 0:03:01.040 about drugs specifically, let's talk about the first opium Have 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.920 you ever heard of the opium Wars? Some people, I 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.200 would guess half the population has maybe heard of them. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.600 You don't really know much about them, you don't care 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:16.840 that much about them. Fascinating, fascinating things. It's good a China. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.760 Understand that China at this point, we're in the eighteen hundreds, 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:27.359 eighteen hundreds and China by now it's it's over a 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:33.200 thousand years old civilization wise, and they have a lot 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.880 to be proud of. I mean, from their technology and 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.240 science into the cleanliness of their people. They had mastered 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:47.920 water sanitation and their beautiful castles. And when I say China, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.840 you're going to naturally sneer because you think of the 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.920 dirty communist Chinese scum that run China today. But if 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.800 they weren't communists, I would go to China every year 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.800 just for the history there. It's endless. They're the cool 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.960 stuff that happened. But as it is now, I'm not 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.560 going to spend a time on those Sorry communists but 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.400 you need to know this is prior to MoU and 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.040 communists and all and communism and all that stuff. And 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.800 they have a lot to be proud of. They know 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.159 they have a lot to be proud of. Remember this, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.440 The history of the world is prejudice of some kind, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:32.040 because every single human being, you included, holds some kind 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.680 of prejudice in your heart. Whatever the case, you might 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.520 be prejudice against black people, white people, Christians, Jews, Muslims, 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.600 to all people, short people, fat people, Italians sorry, sorry, Canadians, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.880 whatever the case may be. You because of your life 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.840 experiences and because of how you were raised, you hold 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.600 some prejudice. That's not because you're a bad person. It's 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.919 because you're a human being. China, they thought Chinese people 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.679 were flat out better than everyone else. And they thought 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.040 everyone else, and I mean the most modern nations on 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.360 Earth were barbarians. The star story today is China dealing 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.920 with Great Britain, who is by now at this point 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.920 in the story, unquestionably the greatest empire on Earth. There's 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.520 not even a close second. Right now. In China, they 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.480 thought the British were these uncouth barbarians. To China, they 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.560 looked at the Brits and thought, who are these Neanderthals. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.800 I can't believe they can feed themselves. That's how arrogant 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:36.120 China was. Now. In their defense, it wasn't without reason. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.600 They had a civilization that predated ancient Rome and had 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.400 been great for so long. They had been so good 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.839 for so long, they kind of had a right to think, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.400 maybe we are just superior and everyone else is lower 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:58.080 than dirt. But they had something that was really really 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.159 hurting them. And this does happen from time to time. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:08.280 Because they thought they were so superior, they chose to 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:13.400 become an extremely insular nation. They didn't want to trade 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.240 with you. They didn't want to talk with you. They 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.640 didn't want to know what you were doing. They didn't 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.720 want to hear about your new fangled technology. They didn't 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.359 want to hear about these trade goods. Why would we 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:29.159 have to deal with you? We are China, you're a barbarian, 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.720 we are we are superior. Well, the problem with that 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.520 way of thinking is, I mean, how often do we 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.040 talk about bubbles on this show? Avoid being in one? 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.720 People who get in one get in serious trouble. This 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.080 applies to nations too. China had been so great, so 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.200 advanced for so long and so insular for so long, 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:55.360 they didn't realize the world was advancing rapidly technology wise, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.800 industrial wise. They weren't superior anymore. Oh, they had been 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.920 for a long time. Now they were flat out backwards. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:10.480 And not only are they backwards, they're backwards and they 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.960 have things that the rest of the world wants. You 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.920 really really don't want to be the tiny tribe that's 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.000 using bows and arrows sitting on top of a gold 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.960 mine that never works well at all. Now, in China's case, 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.600 it wasn't gold, but it was silk. The world was 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.800 dying for this stuff, and it was tea. Don't make 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.160 fun of that. I know you don't drink much tea, 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.080 probably because you're a god fearing American who drinks coffee 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.360 like those dirty Brits. But just know this was not 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.040 a small thing for Britain. Tea was huge for them, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.960 and they had taxed it because it was so big there. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.760 They had taxed tea at one hundred percent. Te funded 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.040 the British government funded the British government. It was not 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.240 a small thing. And dever, getting that from China as well. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:07.160 Kind of here was the trade situation because again, China 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:12.000 was so insular. Oh okay, you can, you can come 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.720 and remember this is the Team dynasty. They have an 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.280 emperor and this is going to hurt them too. He 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.480 is basically a god to them and considers himself to 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.800 be a god and considers himself to be superior to 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.320 everyone else on the planet like me. Anyway, what Chris, anyway, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.000 the trade situation of this, Oh okay, Britain, you would 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.120 like our tea. Okay, that's fine, that's fine. You can 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.599 use exactly one port. You know, China as all the 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.000 otacy right there on the ocean. You can use one 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.680 port Britain. You can only use it for part of 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:55.520 the year. And when you come to our port, we're 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.319 not going to sell anything back to you. You bring 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.560 me money and I'll give ut. Now, I have to 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.840 explain something about old trade. That's going to sound boring 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.600 in detail, but it does matter a lot to our story, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.360 especially back then, I mean then in now, but especially 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:17.520 back then. What you never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.600 ever wanted to do was have a ship or a 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.720 wagon empty because it took too much time and you're 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:29.480 cutting your profits in half. The way world trade worked was. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.600 I'm going to load up a bunch of cotton on 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.959 my sailing vessel, and I'm going to sail it over 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.400 to Britain who wanted said cotton. And once I get there, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.280 and all this is pre arranged, you are then going 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.120 to load me up with goods that I will turn 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.840 around and take right back to the place where I 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:50.640 got the cotton. That's how it worked. That's the only 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.600 way you made a profit. You're not making a profit 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.960 on one way. In fact, you're losing money. You need 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.240 both ways in order to turn a profit at all. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.280 Britain was not getting this. Britain was sending back a 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.200 bunch of empty ships. Bring me your silver, said China. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.920 We'll sell you some tea and then run on about 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.640 your way. We're not doing really trade with you. We'll 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:18.040 sell you a little tea, but that's all. This was 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:24.880 always going to be a temporary situation. How temporary you're 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:52.160 about to find out, Eden pure thunderstorm has changed my life, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.800 and I'm not gonna say it's saved my life. Even 0:10:55.800 --> 0:11:00.200 though it does kill bacteria, it does kill viruses, It 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.560 kills mold and prevents the spread of mold and mildew. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.000 It takes odors out of the air. But when I 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.160 say it's changed my life, this is what I mean. 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.680 I used to wake up in the morning and my 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.480 eyes would feel like sandpaper. That's what got me with 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.079 the allergies. It wasn't as much the sneezing and the 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.560 running nose and stuff like that. My eyes used to 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.120 drive me nuts. I'd tear through eyedrops by the gallon. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.560 I don't use eyedrops anymore. I wake up now and 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.959 my eyes feel good. I didn't even know what it 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.720 was like to have your eyes feel good until I 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.000 got an Eden Pure thunderstorm. In fact, I got three 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.200 of them. Go to Eden pure deals dot com.

Oh gosh, 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.880 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh when 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.360 I come back, But whenever you play those Joe bidenmines, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.600 all I can think to myself as gosh, we are 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.760 so screwed to play it again, Chris. Now here's what 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:44.920 drives the driver in the states that are affected. Here's 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:50.760 what that you can do the drivers. Oh gosh, that's 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.760 the leader of the free world. All right, stop, I'm crying, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.320 all right, And it's the Jesse Kelly Show eight seven 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.559 seven three seven seven four three seven three Jesse at 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.679 Jesse Kelly Show dot Com. We have a governor coming 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.280 on in a little while, Governor of Nebraska. That's gonna 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:11.520 be sweet. These asked doctor Jesse questions are heavy. Somebody 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.560 wants to know do I leave my communist area when 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.560 I have my family here? I want my kids out, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.600 but I don't want so we're gonna get to that. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.520 We have some really, really really good questions today. Y'all 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.480 brought it today. But first I have to finish my 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:34.320 story about the First Opium War. The situation is not 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:40.160 going to be a long lasting one. China selling tea 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:45.080 but not loading up these ships and taking anything back. Now. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.840 I've done shows on this before, and I'll do another 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.320 show in the past. There's never been anything like I mean, 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.199 if there is, I don't know about it. There's never 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:57.360 been anything like the East India Company. What this was 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:02.160 was a quote private company. It was a private company. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.640 Granted it had a real partnership with the British government. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:10.080 It was stocked with members of the British aristocracy. But 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.400 this is a private country company. I needed to think 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.720 about this like you think about Amazon. Think about this 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:22.000 like you think about Amazon. They decided to rule the 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:29.200 Indian Ocean. They had a fleet. They took over India. 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.000 And what I say took over India, I mean governed 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.480 the country. They printed their own money, they had their 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.680 own military. This is a private company but also kind 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.040 of part of Britain. I mean it's a British company, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.720 there's no question about that. But they're in a money 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.320 trunch at this point in time in our story. Why well, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.720 that whole taking over India thing, Yeah, that was nice, 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.600 but wars are absurdly expensive. That's why nations only do 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.160 it and not private companies. The East India Company was 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.360 in a money crunch. We have now reached the point 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.640 in our story where China is in serious trouble because 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.720 the East India Company they take a look over there 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.840 East and say, oh oh, that'll solve our money crunch. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.360 Right now, how are they going to solve the money crunch? 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.240 The poppy plant. I'm not going to bore you with 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.720 all the details on the poppy plant, how they get 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.920 opium from it. You know, you have to cut the 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.920 pod and dry it and do all these other things. 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.080 But just know this, it is a plant. It has 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.960 oh they get opium from it. And all you need 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.840 to know about that is one, it's going to get 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.800 you very high in feeling very very good. In two, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.400 you're going to get addicted to it, and it's going 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.840 to ruin your life. You really do not want to 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.880 dabble in that world. We have a we have an 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.280 opium crisis and opioid crisis, I should call it here 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.480 in the United States of America, A big one. I 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.200 mean big one. They think it's less than one percent, 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.080 but it is certainly a significant portion of our population 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.040 dying fent and al. All this sudden. It's not really 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:19.400 a heavily reported story. We have a fraction of the problem. 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.000 China was about to have. Britain's plan, the East India 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.360 Company's plan was this, Okay, these Chinese don't want to 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.680 sell us goods. Here's what we're gonna do. We're going 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.000 to grow a bunch of these poppy plants. We are 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:40.240 then going to smuggle these drugs into China and we're 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.800 gonna get their population hooked on opium. We're gonna make 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.600 a fortune selling these people opium and at the same 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.200 time maybe get some benefits of their society turning into 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.480 a bunch of mushheads. And it starts to work like 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:02.760 a charm. Britain, like most drug dealers, starts out doing 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.520 this the smart controlled way, because it's really the East 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.320 India Company. And when I say smart controlled way, this 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:14.879 is what I mean. Opium is not cheap and opium, 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.880 like I said, it destroys your motivation then and now 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.680 any opioids, that's just what they do. They destroy your motivation. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.600 And look, I can believe me. This is not me. 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.639 I'm not your father, This is not me judging you 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.520 for that time you smoked a jay in college. I'm 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.600 not doing that. I'm talking about real serious opioid addiction. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.520 It just destroys your motivation. But anyway, because it's expensive 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.680 and because it destroys your motivation, it was mainly something 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.479 for the rich in the beginning, and that's what the 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.640 East India Company wanted. They weren't out to destroy the poor. 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.320 They were out to give the rich people in China 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.080 a new vice. You don't need motivation. You have wealth 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:58.159 and servants and everything else. You have big parties. You know, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.240 Chinese people like parties, like everyone else says parties. Why 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.280 don't you have a big party with your fellow rich 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:07.239 friends and spout Chinese chicks and why don't you? Why 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.520 don't we smoke a little opium, get littleha? I feel 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.320 pretty good? Right? And so for a while it's fairly 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.360 controlled and it's going okay, and Britain wants to take 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.679 it slow because they really don't want the Chinese Emperor 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.679 and his advisers to become aware of how big the 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.719 problem is and what Britain is doing, because the Emperor 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:33.240 is gonna get really, really mad. Two things happened that 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:41.120 end up just totally screwing this entire thing. One, the 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:45.720 Brits decide they're breaking up the East India Company's monopoly 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:52.840 on this lucrative trade getting opium into China. Why does 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.480 that matter? Well, remember all that control I just talked about. 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.160 Oh yeah, we're gonna bring you some opium, not a bunch, 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.800 just to know. We'll keep the price high because we're 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.959 not bringing it in in bulk. And this is just 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.760 for the rich people. So it's not going to be 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:11.040 a big deal, right, No, no big deal. Yeah, as 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.040 soon as every other company gets ahold of it. What 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.080 do you think would happen if there was a lucrative 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.360 industry and now instead of one company control it, there 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.439 are thirty. How many does it take for you to 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.320 figure out, Okay, this is huge, I'm gonna get rich. 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.440 So they just start importing it in bulk, driving the 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.840 price down on it. As soon as the price gets 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.720 driven down, you have now priced in the poor people 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.679 and the peasants and the shop owners. And now you 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:44.440 have a situation where mass quantities of the Chinese people 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.679 are hooked on opium. It becomes such a part of 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:52.200 their society. They start giving it to their babies. I'm 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.560 not making that up just for pain. They start hooking 0:19:55.640 --> 0:20:00.600 people on this stuff from early early childhood. And so 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.760 that happened. And the second thing that happened was this. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.080 You ever see those crime movies or read a crime 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.760 book or a crime documentary, whether it be real life 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.639 or fiction, do you ever do any of that about 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.720 the drug dealer coming on up? You know, starts out 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.399 usually steal and kills a couple of guys, trying to 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.119 get trying to make a name for himself in the 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.919 drug business, whatever it is, Mexican Cicario's whatever it is. 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:33.439 And then eventually, because of his success, what happens. What 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:40.359 happens universally real life, Big old fancy car, big old 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:45.480 fancy jewels, big old fancy house, a bunch of bodyguards. 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.000 You know what brings down crime bosses, gangsters. All the 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:57.240 time they're rubbing it in law enforcement's face. Law enforcement 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.879 doesn't know or doesn't care. And until you're the drug 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.480 dealer Frank Lucas and you show up at a Muhammad 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.480 Ali fight and you sit in the front row, and 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.440 you wear a jacket that is worth two hundred thousand dollars. 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.600 Now you're on somebody's radar. Who is this guy? Why 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:18.760 is he wearing a two hundred thousand dollars jacket? Soon 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:23.600 have fun in prison? What tipped off the Chinese emperor 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.800 that they had a problem? I will tell you. And 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:47.880 then you're asked doctor Jesse questions next, Jake's mint chew 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.800 will help you quit dipping? It? Will?

And I hate saying that because dudes 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:04.200 don't like to think that way, right. I didn't when 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:05.600 I was trying to quit. You know what I tried 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:07.760 to do first. This is a first guy tried. Uh, 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:11.399 I'm just gonna go cold turkey. No, I don't.

It is the Jesse Kelly Show. 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:14.160 Eight seven seven three seven seven four three seven three. 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.960 We're talking opium war right now. We have Governor in 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.720 Nebraska coming on today, and we have so many asked 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:27.320 doctor Jesse questions. Some ladies vaccinated friends were quite unfriendly. 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.439 We are going to talk about that here in a minute. 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.520 So we wrap this thing up with China's starting to 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:40.960 catch on to the problem, to the opioid problem. Their 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:46.560 society's going downhill, their economy is not doing well, and 0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.760 their people seem to be lacking. All of a sudden, 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.879 the British had opened up the trade of opium to 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:58.160 other traders beyond just the East India Company, and they're 0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:03.080 pouring it into China. Is one two. The merchants, the 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:08.240 Chinese merchants along the coastline who are helping smuggle this 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.960 stuff in, are all of a sudden going from oh, 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:15.840 a middle class merchant to Wow, that's a nice castle. 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:20.760 You have their cheek. These guys are stupid wealthy because 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:25.040 they are essentially the drug the drug runners, the cartels 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:29.480 of their kind. They're facilitating the entire drug industry for 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:33.439 their country and China. You're going to notice things like that. 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:36.080 Wait a minute, why are all of our merchants now 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:39.919 wearing nothing but gold? I don't understand. Why is he 0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:43.240 driving the ancient version of a Chinese Bentley. He was 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:48.800 just driving a priush yesterday. What happened? The society starts 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:53.159 going downhill. The emperor calls in a man, I'm just 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.639 gonna call him Lynn. I'm not giving you these Chinese 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:57.600 names because you'll get confused, and I'll get confused. And 0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.680 a note Sam right anyway, But he calls in a 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:03.600 man Lynn, and he says, you will eradicate the opium 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.880 trade in this country. Go get it done now. And 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:09.720 when you have that kind of authority from the Emperor, 0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:12.960 you can do whatever you want. You can do absolutely 0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.680 whatever you want. Oh and I should also mention the 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.280 Emperor at this point writes a letter to the Queen 0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:24.200 of England and tells her and remember he thinks everyone 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.560 on earth is beneath him, everybody. And he writes our 0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:31.400 letter and says, stop now, don't let this happen anymore. 0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:35.159 The Queen's advisors get a hold of the letter before 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.639 it gets to the Queen and trash it so she 0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:41.040 never sees it, so so she doesn't know it exists. 0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:45.359 Just to keep the money going. Well, this taskmaster starts 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.560 to clamp down. He starts to seize goods. He's rating 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:52.919 factories that have opium in it, and he starts to 0:25:53.040 --> 0:26:02.240 board ships. He starts to board British ships. Now you're China, 0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.399 I understand you're in a bubble and you've got the 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:08.480 thousand year dynasty and you're the best buddy. You are 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:11.400 really unaware of how powerful the British are at this time. 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.439 You don't just go storming on a British ship because 0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:18.639 you're aching for a war at this point, and tensions 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:22.800 are now rising between the nations and little stupid incidents 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:24.960 that can blow things up star rising. A couple of 0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:28.760 British sailors go on shore and get hammerhoused and beat 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.240 some Chinese guy to death and it's just a drunken 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.760 bar fight. It was not. I mean, I wasn't there, 0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.000 but it's not supposed to be anything big a drunken 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.560 bar fight. They beat the guy to death, the British 0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:44.920 arrest the sailors. They don't let the Chinese arrest the sailors, 0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:48.040 and the British keep the sailors on their ships. Now 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.880 the tension is way way up, and now the Emperor 0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.440 has had enough and he says, get these Brits out. 0:26:55.760 --> 0:27:00.000 And part of getting them out is the British merchant 0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:02.359 vessels and things like that that are here. A couple 0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:07.760 of British navy ships don't sell them any more food. Well, 0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:09.959
