Both Jad and Tom jump in to discuss what such ignorance might really feel like. So please sit back and enjoy the short ride. This is the JK Podcast. \\n\\nI haven\'t noticed any current events that really struck my eye recently. Oh, well there is the Jesse Jackson thing today, so there\'s not really a whole lot to talk about other than fuck that guy, so - \\n\\nTom: There you go. \\n\\nKevin: My take anyways. \\n\\nJad: What was his thing? I totally missed it.\\n\\nKevin: Oh you know, typical - just America. I mean, got a bunch of campaign monies and spent them on personal artifacts for himself and his wife, committed tax fraud, et cetera. They both pleaded guilty today in court, so - apparently what he did comes with a jail sentence, so I hope they impose it because like I said, fuck him. \\n\\nIn February of 2013, both Jesse Jackson, Jr. and his wife Sandy pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, conspiracy, making false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, and criminal forfeiture.

This narrator hopes he gets every single one of those months. \\n\\nI\'d love to see every single one of these fucking assholes in prison, so - of course it\'s as a office space [?] for us, I\'m sure these are little white collar prisons, not a federal pound me in the ass prison. \\n\\nJad: So what did Jesse J - I totally missed this. \\n\\nKevin: It\'s Jesse Jackson, Jr. actually, so - \\n\\nJad: Oh, right, right, right - he\'s like a Senator from Illinois, or House of Representatives in Illinois or something. \\n\\nKevin: Yeah, he\'s a [crosstalk], he was anyways, yeah. I don\'t know if he still is or not, but - \\n\\nNarrator\'s point number 2, although Jesse did remain a member of the House, Jad is not remembering incorrectly either.'
