My Name is Jesse Ventura, Ask Me Anything.

I like the idea of what you do, Jesse Ventura, but so often someone plays for the camera one way, and at home they're married to a big doll made out of money.

I mean, this is America, there's nothing wrong with making a dollar, but how do we know you're genuine, and not just playing the conspiracy community for chumps?

How do we know you're not the relief valve, so to speak?

I'd rather have you as governor than Rick Scott, granted... But there's just a few things about the situation that make me suspicious.

I want you to be real, if that's condolence.

I don't know what I can do about it. I am in the entertainment business, and I have to earn a living for my family like anyone else does. Granted I get involved in some odd stuff, and I've had a very diverse career, but I like to try different stuff. I don't want to end up at 80 years old saying, "Woulda, coulda, shoulda."

Yeah, I'm frickin' real. I'm real enough to not have to sit here and convince you that I am. But do I work for money? You're damn right I do.

Governor Ventura,
Do you have a theory about the disappearance of Malaysian Air Flight 370?

Absolutely! I worry about a lot of things that the government does to our environment. I worry about every nuclear power plant.

Back in my younger days of wrestling, I used to wear a t-shirt with a nuclear power plant on it, and it said, “From the people who brought you Vietnam!” Yeah, it definitely terrifies me.

Not to mention the corporate polluters....
Please run for President; I'll ensure a knock on every door in my county to help get you elected.

The question I'd love to ask is, what is your take on the suicides/deaths of all of the bankers as of late. Do you think it's guilt, stress or are they being silenced?

I don't like to venture opinions, until I look at all of the facts. I'm aware that a number of bankers have died, but I don't want to be one of those idiot talking heads on TV, who don't know anything about a subject and don't investigate it at all, but still offer their opinion.

Hi Jesse,
My question is what a group of guys in their early 20's can do to help us all win your upcoming presidential race?

Thanks,
Ben

Jesse,
As you have had extensive experience in the entertainment industry i would just like your point of view on some T.V. shows slightly showing techniques of survival in a SHTF scenario.
Although the plot lines maybe outlandish the actual survival techniques shown although small stick out and are just enough to stick with the average person.
Are these scenes aimed at the demograph for visual stimulation or is there some kind of ulterior motive.

Hey Jesse,

What is the one positive thing (if any) you can say about the current administration?

Watched the interview with your son about you running for Pres (Stern as VP). I really like your platform.
Question:
As POTUS, what if anything would you do about Wall Street corruption and the now-still-working criminals who have ripped us off?
(You've got my vote anyway).

Thank you for sharing your time with us Governor Ventura.
What are your thoughts about the Militia movement in the USA today, and if you feel it is still a feasible defense of our constitutional freedoms, after the Oklahoma City Bombing?

First of all, let’s get one thing straight-- "Conspiracy Theory" was NOT a documentary. The show was entertainment. I never once claimed that they were documentaries.

And the most astonishing thing I've seen is that you think "Conspiracy Theory" was a documentary. I've never shied away from it. It was entertainment. I did it for the money. What do you think I did it for? My own personal pleasure? It's called work, I wasn't doing it for charity.

All we did was go out and explore conspiracies. It was up to you, the viewer, to judge if you wanted to believe or not. They were more reality TV than documentaries.

Dear Mr. Ventura:

At the end of the Time Travel episode did you ever get that guy to show you how to work that supposed "Time Travel" device off camera in LA instead of him BSing you with the travel back in time with your mind instead of using the actual device off the internet?

I was wondering if you think it is fair for the president and all his staff members to get paid so much money while the rest of us and the Soldiers get very little? also why don't you be the president so we at least know what's going on in this world

That's a loaded question, let me put it in context. When I was governor of Minnesota, no government employee could make more than the governor. And I agree with that, because the governor has the most responsibilities in the state. I was in charge of all of the school districts as well. Superintendents are only in charge of ONE district, but they can make up to five times more than what a the governor can. The president should make more than the any other federal employee, because he's the boss, he's in charge of all of them. So he deserves the most money.

The governor and president are much more fair in their pricing than Walmart. There's much less of a gap between an infantryman and the president versus a regular employee at Walmart and a member of the Walton family.

Mr Ventura, What do you believe is the probability of Americans having to take to arms to regain our constitutional freedoms?

You know what my answer to that is? Who cares! That's my answer.

Put it this way, we both got bigger arms than you, boymonkey74.

now i can be certain it is jesse ventura! none should ask otherwise

Mr. Ventura,

Thanks for doing us all a great service and providing a glimpse into your thoughts.
Also, thanks for being an all out great American who has a voice loud enough for people to notice!

Beyond the corruption that this current two-party dictatorship has, and how money/lobbyists rule Congress, how do we get our collective heads above water when there are literally 100,000's of laws and statutes to "control" us?

I believe the people need less distractions and more awareness, but it doesn't seem to be helping at the voting booths. The same people get voted in and the same money controls the corporate nation.

Man, I could ask you a plethora of questions...

Thanks brotha!

A simple question for you Mr. Ventura,

Is there any hope for humanity?

I would like the truth. Not a motivational speech.

Regards,

I'll do you one better. I'll take on Bush AND Cheney. My handicap match would be between me and Bush and Cheney. And if they lose, they both have to join the military for four years as enlisted men.

On that note ... you've got my vote.

Get your name on the ballot, Sir!!

Mr. Ventura,

Out of all of the unexplained mysteries that you researched, which one or ones did you find to be the most valid ones? I consider conspiracy theories the mysteries as well.

Keep up the good work!

Mr. Ventura, what do you believe is the probability of Americans regaining constitutional freedoms by taking up arms?

Thanks and Baba Booey to you sir!

I appreciate your candidness, man. You were in Predator. You earned that paycheck.

I've been on other AMAs where the folks spoke with the tone of public relations agencies and shills..

But you seem pretty genuine. If you're playing us, you could make more money as a poker player, so I doubt you are.

You're no Mark Moody-Stuart, former chairman of Shell, coward and ostrich with his head in the sand that he is. I was on an AMA with that fellow, he did nothing but dodge questions about their civil rights records. You were very direct, and to the point. We've all got to make a living somehow, and live with how we make our livings at the end of the day....

I think your family is proud of what you've done. When you sleep at night, I hope it's better than those who have reached your level via duplicitous means.

MR VENTURA

what is the best book that you have read that sticks in you're mind

thank you or taking the time to participate here
