Honestly, no, I didn't see it. Only saw the pictures from the news article. On the one hand, it's difficult to take Jesse seriously for the obvious reasons. He's...well....Jesse.
On the other hand, he HAS pulled off some pretty amazing things despite his verbal handicap. The release of the 3 US soldiers captured on the Serb border a few years ago comes to mind. There have been a couple other cases, but I can't remember the details off hand. Like I said earlier, he's a unique American personality.
