Jesse Ventura, you're the man! Finally someone with some balls standing up for the truth... It's so obvious and so nice to hear a man inside the system speaking for the people... I support all you talked about in this interview and you put everything so well! Thank you! Great interview guys!

Listening to the interview, so far it is really great. I agree with his points on 9/11 and he is just talking about Iraq, sounds like he is an ATSer. Awsome stuff, really good show!!!

If you have a comment about the show... GREAT..... but keep all the other BS off this thread please.

Thanks...

Dave

thank you so much for sharing that interview....that was awesome

Jesse Ventura for president imo.

much love to you guys and Jesse

take care

I have been waiting on this interview since it was announced. Thank you all for hosting and to Mr. Ventura for being his candid self.

I am from the south, but when I heard Gov. Jesse Ventura, I perked up and felt a bit jealous that Minnesota got such a great person to lead them. I have always enjoyed hearing him speak, because he spoke the truth. He didnt fall into any of the political or party double-talk and that alone made him my choice for a continued political candidate.

To echo another....President Jesse Ventura has a nice ring to it.

Yeah, I'll bet that was part of UDT training during the Vietnam era. Right. Idiot.

Everyone has a right to his/her opinion, but where do you get off calling someone an idiot? Just because you disagree with someone you resort to petty name-calling?

Anyways, awesome show. 'specially Jesse's and sand-between-her-toes-Jean's Interview. Both great, intelligent people.

Great show guys. Loved it.

You have to do another show with him soon. It sounded to me like Jesse would keep going if you let him.

Dick Cheney in bootcamp. That was priceless.

I didn't think I'd be able to stay up to hear the whole thing, but once Jesse started, I had to hang in there to the end. Excellent job, men.

At one point when Jesse was talking about his meeting with the CIA, he briefly mentioned calling Dick Marcinko for some info. I don't know if you know who Marcinko is, but you should put him on the short list of potential guests. That would be somethin'. And a half.

Great interview, guys! Thanks!

LOL. I read this forum and just shake my head. Liberal crackpots and crazies need their voice too...

Viva la ATS.com and the US of A, one of the few countries that would put up with all of you in the tin-foil-hat-brigade.

BTW, Jesse Ventura while a former SEAL, is hardly a hero. The word "HERO" is used far too much these days, at least IMO. What heroic acts has he done, other than live among people deluded enough to vote for him as Governor? To call him a hero is to denigrate true acts of heroism from a man such as John McCain. John McCain is a RINO and politically I can't stand him, but he is a bonafide WAR HERO and not some puffed up, 9/11 conspiracy theorist, ex pro-wrestler, former lousy actor blow-hard. I applaud his service to his country and his SEAL team experience, but he is NOT a hero.

I agree that the world "hero" is used far too much these days.

But I'd put a Navy SEAL in the category of having some guts, rather than all these privileged fly boys who get shot down. George Bush senior, by the way, ditched a plane and got out on a parachute -- in a craft that does not allow the other two occupants to do the same. They could only escape on a water landing. So, to save his own butt, George Bush senior used his golden parachute -- seems to be a family legacy.

McCain got caught. Tortured with methods that are now familiar to his friends. And was really, more helpful to the viet cong than anyone else. Though, I think this is reality for almost anyone undergoing torture -- it sure isn't a film that Chuck Norris would make.

So, quit the straw man arguments of saying that Jessie is calling himself a hero, and mentioning McCain -- as if that was part of the discussion, or the most extreme example of an Admiral's son who failed upwards being somehow heroic because he lived, and then popping the air out of your own damn balloon.

Thank you McCain for your service. Are we done yet?.... can we leave him out of your straw man arguments please?

I never liked to watch pro wrestling.
I never lived in Minnesota, and might not have voted for Jesse.

But this man definitely speaks from the heart. He isn't anyone's tool -- which I cannot say for Swarzeneggar who met with and was financed by the ENRON folks.

It makes me angry, that people point to Jessie's time as a pro wrestler as if this were some reason for a person not to have integrity or a brain. Even though I didn't like watching it -- I could certainly understand the fun of doing it, and I don't think anyone here would turn down that kind of money to show off their "guns." We all had other jobs in our lives. If a person started as a circus clown and became a news reporter -- it means absolutely nothing.

A person is not their job. Nor does putting on a suite and having high production values on CNN mean that Wolf Blitzer is telling you the truth. What people say, and not the contents of their wallets or the flamboyance of their clothing, should be the determining factor.

Jessie has a better track record than most in politics, as far as I can tell. There is probably some bluster at times, but J V doesn't have to pretend to be the real deal like all the Chicken Hawks people treat as reasonable.
