Jesse Ventura VS Piers Morgan - Jesse Tells The Truth

##########################################
Very special 9th edition of Piers Morgan Tonight and welcome my audience here in the studio compromising this will be like and now you've never heard before with a man who's ever afraid to say exactly what he thinks jesse ventura ex-navy seal super star wrestler and governor Minnesota answers your questions wife at no time either the democrats the republicans and surprising theory who he thinks behind the anti-american violence in the Middle East and Harriet's Jesse venture families that we're going to get some water.
I gotta get ready for your ball good we are we're on our end of this week of lots of ground i want to start though with the breaking news today the controversial and apparently secretly tape video Mitt Romney had a private fundraiser the person responsible wants to remain anonymous but New York magazine reports it was passed along by former President Jimmy Carter's grandson james carter the fourth seen it has not been able to independently verify the authenticity of the recordings but let's take a listen there are only seven percent overall 47% within or leave it there.
We believe the government has a responsibility to care for them to believe that they're entitled to help here food housing to get the best as a title and government and they will is the Romney campaign released a statement in response to the issue but did not that you mentioned the videos it reads mitt romney wants to help all Americans struggling in barmer economy as the governor's make play all year he's concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government including the record number of people who are on food stamps the only one in six Americans and policy and 23 million Americans who are struggling to find work mitt romney's plan creates 12 million new jobs in four years grow the economy and moves Americans off of government dependency and into jobs just even sure he was shaking your head.
Murmuring all sorts of my fantasies on your breath take it you're not impressed by Mitt Romney's player which effectively boys down whichever way you look at this whatever statements he puts out the half of the American people apparently are well as he put it on the on the scrounger not paying tax victims and living off the state what do you make of that well let's start with taxes for a moment.
Do you realize as I cover in my book here that these major corporations pay lobbyists more than what they pay in taxes these corporations these corporations and make billions of dollars pay more to lobbyists than what they pay in taxes and maybe one of the reasons mit has that problem is because when did our ill-fortune start under Bush and Cheney in the Republicans and you're hearing this from an independent because i know enough to know that the economy what you have today in the economy is the result of decisions made about 3 45 years ago because that's how long it takes for them to get into this massive economy so in my opinion the republicans are the ones responsible and when romney says he's going to create how many million jobs 12 million is it allows better that's total hogwash and i'll tell you why.
The only thing a government official can make it can create is a government job so if he's going to create 12 million new jobs they're going to be paid for by taxes i can see anything Jay tweak Pierce jobs are created in the private sector not by the president to the government unless their government jobs going to come to job stimulation a little later in the show but on this specific point that mitt romney's been been found on table and a private fundraiser trying to raise cash we think a few months ago but this point that basically everyone who voted for obama or the vast majority are victims don't pay taxes are we what we believe it's just a theory is a theory they got the forty-seven percent may have come from a tax policy center which found that 46.4 percent of households pay no federal income tax in 2011 but most households did pay payroll taxes for the eighteen percent of households the pain now the income tax is all payroll taxes the center found more than half of those were elderly and more than a third but not elderly about income under twenty thousand dollars so when you put it all together like that this is a bit of a clanger I met Robbie this will be portrayed by the Democrats I think very strongly from now to relation as a guy dismissing half of America as people who are just victims living off the state well it shows me that Mitt Romney probably lives in a world that I don't live in you know he lives in a world that I hear he's worth what 250 million dollars and he comes from wealth and most people i find that are born with that kind of money truly don't know what it's like to be out there i mean you know i remember when i started years ago on my pro wrestling career when I just got out of the united states navy i left with a beat-up car in 250 bucks and that's all i had to my name when I went off to start my pro wrestling career there's a statement from the Obama campaign has been raised it says it's shocking the candidate for president united states would go behind closed doors and the player to a group of wealthy donors a half the american people see themselves as victims entitled to handouts and are willing to take personal responsibility for their lives it's hard to serve as president of all Americans when you disdainfully written off half the nation I mean they've got a point i don't think it's an embarrassing thing for Mitt Romney however he tries to spend well it seems Mitt Romney lately he's been saying a lot of embarrassing things you know in he certainly not going to endear yourself to forty-seven percent of the country and i would think it's going to be quite hard to win but maybe their plan is that they got these new voter registration laws to where they can deny forty-five percent of the country of the ability to vote you know maybe that's their ultimate plan is to only get to half the country and let only half the country vote the first place because on that note this whole thing is a farce voter fraud is a complete red flag there there's about as much voter fraud in this country is there is people being struck by lightning bolts I know that from a governor standpoint folder fraud is nothing and yet they're trying to give everybody an ID card poor people would have to pay 35 bucks to go get a state ID.
Well if you're that poor $35 might be the difference between whether you eat that day or not what do you think a person is going to do they're gonna go get food if it's happened and I think the pathetic thing is that our country is in this kind of shape and who's responsible these two major parties they've been in charge 450 years it memories had a rough week because of the the Benghazi incident in which he was deemed by most people putting me on his own side to have jumped in with a critical statement of the president really without knowing all the facts and turning into a political football when most people thought that was the wrong thing to be doing i agree as an American politician about 20 absolutely when our country's attacked in any way shape or form we need to pull together we need to come together not separate at that point I mean are you want my what i would do over there i would do with the pinnacle of the Republican Party the hero whatever of modern-day ronald reagan did you recall when are back in the eighties when the barracks and Lebanon was here and over 200 Marines were killed did Ronald Reagan go to war no he got us the hell out of there and that's where i stand up.
This if these people don't want us over there let's close our embassies i stand with ron paul let's get rid of foreign aid all together because it's ron paul put it the definition of foreign aid that's taking from America's poor and giving it to another country's rich hang on hang on wait a minute wait wait you and show you a minute hey hey just hide in talking i'm challenging you like I think that is taking one extreme and going to the other it may well be that America has too many embassies has too much say and too many can also broke it that's of course you know you're not getting a gift if you're really in countries broken the world yeah we're giving foreign aid on a basic term for you people that would be the equivalent you're losing your house you're three payments behind on your car but your cousin Bob from out of state needs to borrow five hundred bucks from yeah are you gonna send it.
What the winds can't even make your own house in asian-american broke our debt are we.
Well you'll certainly not as broke as many countries around the world will fare worse and more depth analysis i want to see a country that contribute more American remains a superpower an American yard and all super powers I believe have a responsibility to other countries around the world now it makes girls really know.
Are you Americans have any involvement in any country in the world sure we could have involvement if they ask us since when should we be the world's policeman.
Why do we have military bases in a hundred and sixty some countries we have no milk no foreign country has a base here.
Imagine if Hugo Chavez decided to buy a thousand acres of land my palm springs and move the Venezuelan military in what do you think our reaction would be to that yet we we have multiple bases in Korea multiple bases in Japan multiple bases in germany and peers last time I checked those wars were over 60 years ago.
Why are we still there when the argument would be to prevent another war of that nature.
Why you but would you laugh at that didn't really wanna see that because there are people who got some hard military's there again his interest our military today is so advanced we can be anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds minutes or hours we do not need to be an empire like Rome occupying with our military throughout the world and if you notice I'm getting nothing but nods out here Pierce physically regular American city wouldn't sure we say so many embassies in any country i'm not saying to get necessarily to get rid of embassies absolutely have embassies but if these middle eastern countries are going to behave towards us the way they do then let's get the hell out of there and leave them to them you gotta remember something I urge people to read the writings of Major General Smedley Butler general Butler died in the early forties but he was the most decorated marine and history he won two congressional medals of honor and he wrote a book called war is a racket and in that book and this was way at the beginning of the last century he said I didn't defend the American people's freedom.
I work for the United Fruit corporation when they went into Central and South America they didn't get cooperation they send in the US Marines together I wasn't enough for that and I wasn't sure about the Second World War was it probably not but I definitely wasn't guys that was a but your major apples or rejection by other apples and oranges how do you compare the second world war two cosmic being the strong arm of the multinational corporations effectively telling this audience notice at home the walls are always of that nature and not the reality is sometimes you have to impress a guy that's right ok let's take my lifetime I was born post-world war two 1951 now if you count the cold war and the war on drugs which the war on drugs is a war I live for months of the year in Mexico 20,000 Mexicans I believe died last year as a result of the war on drugs.
Do you realize we've been at war my entire life.
My entire life we have been at war is that the role of the United States perennial war at war all the time no how about enough of it let's listen to jimi hendrix for a moment is on my shirt limey Jimi Hendrix quote from Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitar player on the authority and the last 10 minutes alright with you you the name is really angry.
Jimi hendrix when the power of love overtakes the love of power then we'll have peace when the power of log overtakes the level of power then we'll have peace on that sat on that musical bombshell will take a short break and come back.
Apparently I'm somebody had some to confirm this yet we'll ask you off the brake.
You're gonna make a run for the White House in 2016.
Spirit the new book in demo Crips and reblogged beacons no more gangs and government when we live with our studio audience is the thing you can flip this around everyone's having a laugh that Mitt Romney's expense and they're all saying a bomber stretching ahead in the polls & sun but the reality is Barack Obama has been there for years unemployment remains at Inc incredibly unacceptable figure of over eight percent you got lots of people suffering losing home jobs livelihoods why should he get another four years well because however many gaps Mitt Romney moviemaking yeah he's a very experienced successful businessman could he not do a better job well first of all the the pose the question are you better off today than you were four years ago I would say yes George Bush and Dick Cheney are gone so no matter what better off today than we were four you can read let's remember sorry the question see how they always read how many this all is personally financially feel genuinely better off after four years if you do applaud ok and if you if you don't applaud now so it's probably about 50 50 so hard i got that about 70 30.
It's been a 64 alright I'll maybe think difficulty but whatever it was certainly a number of people in the world would agree they're not better okay but let's get the brass tacks here and again I'm the independent in the economy things that are done 3 45 years ago show up today so when the recession of all week hit which Barack Obama inherited Bush did the first bailout that was because it hit no wait because of decisions done in all three or four when you have a Republican president a republican house and a Republican Senate George why at the Republican convention and I ask you this question why wasn't George Bush allowed to speak dick cheney allowed to speak because they just left office three-and-a-half years ago after serving eight years that's unconscionable that they weren't there why the Republicans don't want anyone to remember who caused all this.
I said to my wife fucked that waiter at the 08 election i said to my wife you know I wouldn't want you couldn't pay me to be the next president any amount of money because whomever it is is going to get the blame for all of what George Bush and Dick Cheney dead well that's precisely what you got it now has Obama fixed it no he has not but is is Mitt Romney the answer going back to the old Republican ways that caused it in the first place Americans are very short attention spans they usually can only remember about a year ago they need to remember about four five six years ago of who caused let's go to.
Audience member question Derek white get I don't you the question on the bases the room is still flying around the gentleman may run for office in 2016 what is your question well first governor how you doing good I'd like to thank you for having the guts to serve in our armed forces i think a lot of politicians so-called statesman ought to take a page out of your book it's not a requirement you know Alex prepare it's not a requirement to serve in the military to be the commander-in-chief diseases civilian maybe it's good for a little experience having done it but it is not required the Constitution doesn't say you have to anyway we don't have to kill you here and that's not my question gotta govern my question is if you were to run as it is independent completely unaffiliated from any political party whatsoever.
Do you feel that that would help or hinder your ability to ultimately gain ballot access in all 50 states oh it will require you the people to do it for me but you know what i need to see that I need to see the American people rise up before i'm going to put my butt on the line again when were you really like rely on the only way that'll happen two criterias must happen there must be and I also aboard this ridiculous spending that they do to get elected its obscene and I tonight say that because i think i could say that because when i ran for governor of minnesota i spent less money to get the job than what I made doing the job I don't think there's an elected official they can make that statement the last 50 years.
I only raise $300,000 to become the governor of minnesota the Democrats and Republicans in the same race spent to combine 12 million and that was back in 98 Jesse will you be running on 19 other thing I why I need to be I need to have ballot access in all 50 states and I need some type of guarantee that i will be allowed in the debates because you cannot win if they won't let you debate but if you can debate you can win because in Minnesota at the primary I was only polling between eight to ten percent i was allowed in the debates seven weeks later I was the governor of minnesota you know they always say peers in the private sector competition is good right now we always hear welcome competition isn't good for president why has it been 20 years since we've seen any third voice in a presidential debate because these two parties will they make the rules and they will not let anyone else wind so i would require huge help from you the people because if I do run and i am and i run the women i would be the first president elected miss country that would belong to no political party since George Washington the father of our.
I would i would love to see one of those debates that suggested but after the break we'll talk to you about some urban lung and whether a Navy SEAL should be allowed to tell his story has one of the SEAL team 6.
Ok.
Right now my first guest adventure and a live studio audience got another audience question this time all of the rentals mr. Reynolds appreciate it that's known as servant or high a question to you is as a former Navy SEAL do you agree or disagree with the recent release a book by the six-member SEAL team and distance and the objections of the introduction I don't have a problem with it the apples over over a year ago and I feel I have a right to know what went on because our entire military is paid by my tax dollars and i believe i have every right to know what they spend my tax dollars on and i also would like to hear from boots on the ground I don't want to hear from the media what happened in the op I don't want to hear from bureaucrats in Washington what happened on the op i would like to hear from boots-on-the-ground somebody that was all was actually there so that i can make a determination help Jesse 87 my brother's a British Army colonel and has done tools of Afghanistan Iraq consider how does it help.
Operationally if all the guys around they're all wondering who's going to put this in a book.
I mean surely will sign up then they to not write about their experience well he's out now he's a civilian now and I I just you know to me he has the First Amendment rights we should have them if he's not giving away anything that's listed under national security or that could affect anyone in the future operations I say why not like i said i'd like to hear from boots-on-the-ground what actually happened there not some fragmented story that comes out of Washington telling me what happened so I dynamic and besides you the media and the seals themselves have allowed themselves to become like the Green Berets in the sixties and seventies now I don't like the fact that you even know we exist because back in the sixties and seventies nobody even knew who we were well that's out of the bag now Hollywood's made plenty of films you've had my friend dick Marcinko who created SEAL Team six.
He's written a half a dozen books so if the creator of seal team six can write books about what they do what the heck if he if he doesn't put in jeopardy anyone why why is our government so up in arms about that he does this what we're all agreed on is it the death of osama bin laden was a good thing but but be honest is America any safer now than it was when he was killed all four more we're seeing now in the Middle East all the uprisings all the kind of reverse Arab Spring feel like are you concerned that it may be a hornet's nest is getting out of control no because I think that lots of times these uprisings are orchestrated i believe i believe in the works of Colonel l Fletcher Prouty when he said nothing just happens everything is planned i truly believe that and so these uprisings that are happening right now we don't know really who's behind them they could be our own CIA did we hoping to do it while knows did we know who we were backing that's one of the key questions actually what well in Libya in Egypt have no idea all these countries when you when you oppose them a barrack orchid officer did we really know who these rebels were and are we now perhaps welding the the results of not knowing what well we're here wanting to give democracy that people to people who have lived in my opinion in the stone age I think the bigger question to ask is here we go another religious war because most every war that happens on this planet is due to the fact of religion one religion doesn't like the way another religion worships God so we're gonna kill ya the Isle of religion in our case that sarcastically I think when i say that because I think I'll openly admitted i'm an atheist I thought you said earlier all walls were about oil and and corporations they are but they're all religious base to they're all about religion and oil and corporations could be seriously getting rid of the Nazis yeah so my point is all the naughty baby weight the knot is being anyway the Nazis was religious to look what they did to the Jews so that brought religion in Vietnam was religious because DMR puppet president and our country brought a hundred Christian Vietnamese down to the south to be the government while the southern Vietnamese didn't like these religious characters from up north so they then became the Vietcong so all wars pretty much in my lifetime have had some religious basis but certainly big business gets in there because wars are very profitable to certain big businesses and of course big business needs to be in the middle east so that we can get the oil out of the Middle East so we can get the lithium out of Afghanistan you know they discovered a vehicle lithium-air they say is with the trillion dollars.
Well what is lithium used for every cell phone computer and soon-to-be electric cars.
Let's talk about why we're really there we're not there how is any of these wars affect our freedom in any way the United States is not in any threat they're not going to do in Normandy invasion on a cell Qaeda in Virginia Michael you be so naive on you because I'm a benign nature think you are being night no I think that is clear one of the main reasons that America went into Afghanistan was to try and get al Qaeda dismantle the organization which committed the 911 seriously we have things well how come al-qaeda put the heroin business out they took all the poppy growers and stop the production of heroin and you wait now how much of that illegal heroin was propping up the international banks with laundered money and when it dried up the first recession happened well now that we're back in there we aligned with the poppy growers and the heroin business is back up full swing again.
Well I thought we fight a war on drugs here I Jesse's neighbors were not what would you have done on September the 12 2001 what would you have done if he'd been president what would I have done yet I would have done a legitimate legitimate investigation to find out what exactly happened on 911 how did they know who did this so quickly like they did lee harvey oswald how quick they knew Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy because the people who did it will identify them you know they were there why couldn't we have stopped them beforehand if they were identified and we knew it was an alien intelligence everyone except no one said we knew before both Condoleezza Rice's member and august six when it stated right in the memo bin Laden to steal planes and running into buildings and more stuff is coming out now also how much the bush administration ignored the intelligence it was almost like they ignored it because they wanted it to happen i'll come see the no come off and then you can't wait a minute.
Everyone starts with a false flag operation can't in all seriousness sit there and try to make anybody how old are you visiting here is rated it let me away tonight let me ask you something how many how much studying of you actually done of 911 other than what what the government's told you and what mainstream media visit I've been studying today national news by then I've told me you're coming with me that everyday realized six months really learned a lot about it open hadn't let me ask you this you handled say that any member of the Bush administration new is going to happen wanted it happens a ridiculous thing to send ridiculous okay let's talk about your BBC i have a tape of a BBC reporter broadcasting directly back to England talking about a third buildings collapsed world trade center building seven talks for 27 minutes all the while she's talking world trade center building 7 is still standing right.
Behind her it didn't fall for another half hour yet they were doing a pre broadcast back to England that the yes it's true you need that is rebuilding fell and hadn't fallen yet trying to make out the British Broadcasting everyone else respected news organizations in the world with inventing huge buildings falling over you need help you need to have a break Jessie we'll come back off the brake and we'll talk about Israel and Iran kidding me this is a fast.
Didn't your online a little studio audience we left already heated debate about various theories you have about nine eleven songs move on to the government only as a theory right well the government has this is a theory they're furious 19 Islamic radicals armed with box cutters defeated are multi-billion dollar air defense system all conspiring with a bearded guy in a cave in Afghanistan that is exactly what's the theory that's all theories the fact that's there's no getting attacked.
That's what happened really yes I'm sorry to kill your conspiracy theories but that is what happened then why hasn't anyone been brought up for trial because maybe not even one shred of ales dies while case you missed the story then we got all these guys and get mo for and we got the supposed confessor to it who they waterboarded 280 times to get the confession Got News for You peers if they waterboarded you honored many times you'd confess they will see now you did it.
You're missing the point that very point i don't agree with Guantanamo Bay I didn't agree with the waterboarding personally this move on if we want to Iran and Israel few the American president with all the jungle drums beating now about Iran would you take any military action.
Well first let me state that Iran has to do this because if you notice the United States doesn't mess with any country that's got nuclear capabilities they only mess with countries that don't so all countries that don't have it strive to get it because it's a safety mechanism to have it so of course around is going to try to get the shot be allowed to happen should they be allowed to I don't know.
Well yes or not I don't know no matter of opinion no I don't guys I'm everybody for offline title to know what you think not right now you don't need to study at number 18 billion yes it is very continue know that everything that happened before nine eleven but right now when you have iran potentially new king itself up you don't have an opinion well let's leave that up to the nuclear inspectors that go in there they will tell us whether their new king it up before you decide to bomb I didn't decide upon anybody know but you seem to be very favorable blends into my mouth all the time which is it's not a very good technique no debating with somebody just your drawings how many political officers have you held not then don't tell me how to debate because I failed to automate it anytime but you never one you've never won an election where a debate you is very sensible point and you make some crap points that's your opinion yes how many people here think I'm a crackpot points1 how many fake I make sensible points minorities my good friend you're the minority let's I said you may seem sensible place is gonna have another lonely as question from Jaret grocery ask you a question job no governor yes I'd like to know why you think that politics in America today and why is it become so polarized and why is become so hate driven and how do you think we can fix that well our politics in America the problem the major problem is the Democrats and Republicans I explained in my book Democrats and Republicans no more games and government are they've created a system based completely on bribery now if we do bribery it's hypocracy if we do bribery in the private sector we go to jail.
We have their entire political system is based upon bribery who can bribe and give the most money to the politician and mouth.
Thanks to our illustrious Supreme Court that ruled that corporations have the same rights as individuals and that money is free speech.
Well we're now being inundated with so much money from the corporation's buying the Democrats and Republicans both sides that are look at this hypothetically a foreign country could now control our elections because all they would have to do is form a corporation start pumping money into the super PACs plus there's no are you don't they don't have to say where the money comes from which is criminal every every candidate should after state openly open disclosure where they get every dollar you're not getting that now so the whole system is corrupted now the Democrats and Republicans red fault because they've been in charge 450 years they can't pass the buck on it and until they clean up the system that's what you got it's bribery Jesse I'm shot I just agree with every word you just said no you just want to get the crowd back from your side as a sexy i made jun Ji agreed to everybody i did the whole super bad thing is completely out of control.
Alright I n China right now could find that a run for the presidential election with one of their sponsor people from one of the companies i think i think that this ruling could be the downfall of our country and the only way the only way we can stop it is to amend the Constitution yeah actually only way you can / angry Supreme Court and we need to do that let's take a break Jessie we'll come back and talk about Clint Eastwood the empty chair and done now we've drifted into her and online video what is gun control this is something i've been very animated about all this year with all the various gun outrages especially the appalling thing at the cinema in a Colorado yeah why is it that Americans to me it's so many Americans cannot divorce their right to defend themselves with a gun to the apparent right to go and buy six thousand rounds of ammunition high powered assault weapons and gonna murder Americans well the best thing I can tell you peers as this Mexico has strict gun control you cannot own a gun in Mexico and they had 20,000 people dead last year in the drug cartel Wars next guys a very particular problem involving drugs i can sign she Britain are average what me just three backe in Britain for example an average of 35 people a year are murdered with guns in Germany it's about 40 to 50 France the same span the same Italy is a pattern here America eleven to twelve thousand years you know this country has more guns anybody else and more gun murders yeah its Enoch cable isn't it no not at all it takes is because i was in the Philippines physically the day Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law and made himself a dictator and the first thing that dictator did he gave the people of the Philippines two weeks to turn in all their guns or was the death penalty now why would a dictator do that why would he make his number one priority when he took over as dictator to disarm the public the Second Amendment is there so and it was made put in there not for hunting and fishing like they like to say because back when they did it if you didn't hunter fishy didn't eat it was put in there so the citizens would have the ability if their government became oppressive they could defend themselves against oppressive government and I think that overrules all the gun deaths because let's remember something a gun is simply a tool i have a gun safe at home and I've never.
Her come home and heard those guns going off on their own people kill people all right how many people here died because of car accidents of drunk driving do we go to the ford motor company and tell them stop making these automobiles because people get drunk and kill people in cars son argument it's a while it's a facile argument.
There's no equivalence between drunk driving and lethal firearms my point of america i had our is a 1,000 pound per ginal that you know hundred miles an hour.
I have no problem with an American believing that they're right on the Constitution is that they can defend themselves especially in their own home if they're being attacked and they have a wet it's also a slash government i have a big problem with a disturbed young man as we saw in Colorado being able to buy six thousand rounds of ammunition and a high powered assault weapon and go into a movie theater and blow away 70 Americans I have a big problem with that well and nobody else in America in high office seem to share that big well I'll tell you what peers i have a concealed carry license had I'd been in there I would have taken this guy out before he could have killed that many people.
Well I think that again but because let's remember police can't stop crimes police show up after their over remember that.
So when you talk about me not being able if there would have been a legitimate conceal and carry in that theater quite possibly they could have taken this guy out and saved more i've had the gunfight at the ok corral and then lost even more light skinned knee that's what could happen.
I don't think all right roll of the dice would you like you'd prefer to be unarmed when I think they give me my weapon I i think this country needs to do something about it tunnels.
Everyday I don't think it's already enough gun laws they're already on the books.
Ok let's come back and give you a couple of them saying it's gonna give you the last word after the break that with my special guest just ensuring my studio audience.
