Sean Hannity: He shocked the nation back in 1998 when he stormed onto the political scene and won Minnesota’s race. Now former Minnesota governor, pro wrestler and Navy SEAL, Jesse “The Body” Ventura is considering perhaps another political comeback? His book, “Don’t start the revolution without me” describes his outrage at the state of affairs in the U.S. It is now out in paperback.
Good to see you.
Jesse Ventura: Good to see you, Sean, always.
Sean Hannity: I’ll tell you, he has been yelling at me ever since he walked into the green room today.
Jesse Ventura: I don’t yell at anyone. I speak to people. It’s your reputation that precedes you.
Sean Hannity: You were just right on me. Well, you said you didn’t think you would like me until you met me. Didn’t you say that to me?
Jesse Ventura: Yeah.
Sean Hannity: What didn’t you like about me?
Jesse Ventura: I don’t always care for how you operate and the bullying of guests and things like that.
Sean Hannity: I don’t bully, oh stop. I couldn’t bully you for a million. I couldn’t bully you. You’d slap me down so hard.
Jesse Ventura: You can bully other people. You do it to other people and I get irritated when I see that at home.
Sean Hannity: You say you have been out surfing the past 6 months. Have you really been in Mexico surfing for six months?
Jesse Ventura: No. Unfortunately only for three months because my brother in law was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease on October 2nd and he passed on January 14th. So I didn’t get to Mexico till the end of January because he was my wife’s younger brother and she stayed home and took care of him until his passing. It’s a horrible disease, it’s an awful disease.
Sean Hannity: I’m sorry. I know somebody right now that has it. It’s terrible. It’s horrible.
Jesse Ventura: Scott LeDoux the boxer has it.
Sean Hannity: Is it true?
Jesse Ventura: Yeah.
Sean Hannity: Look, we can go down the old road of our battle. You do not like the Bush administration, you don’t like Dick Cheney. I got that, I understand that. But I want to ask you some new questions if you are game.
Jesse Ventura: Sure.
Sean Hannity: What do you think of Barack Obama?
Jesse Ventura: I think he is exceptionally intelligent when you hear him speak.
Sean Hannity: He reads a teleprompter, oh common.
Jesse Ventura: Well at least we got a President now who can read a teleprompter. You know we didn’t have for many years.
Sean Hannity: That’s not a sign of intelligence.
Jesse Ventura: Yes it is.
Sean Hannity: No, it’s not.
Jesse Ventura: If you’re not capable of reading a teleprompter… No, I’ll say this; I think he is very intelligent. I think it’s far too early to be judgmental. Because let’s face it, he inherited a mess. Wait. He inherited two wars, he inherited an economy in the tank, I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Sean Hannity: Well, George Bush inherited a recession. George Bush inherited the negative impact of 9-11… let me finish.
Jesse Ventura: No he didn’t.
Sean Hannity: Oh yes he did. Oh yes he did.
Jesse Ventura: Alright, alright, alright. You’re telling me that the United States was better off after George Bush or before him?
Sean Hannity: After.
Jesse Ventura: Oh my God. How can you make that statement?
Sean Hannity: I just did, and you want me to tell you why?
Jesse Ventura: I don’t feel the need for me to talk to you about it then. This is ridiculous. This country was far better off before George Bush than it is after.
Sean Hannity: No. You want me to quote to you the 9-11 commission report?
Jesse Ventura: Hahahaha.
Sean Hannity: I’m glad I can make you laugh.
Jesse Ventura: When you bring up the 9-11 commission that makes me laugh because they didn’t investigate nothing.
Sean Hannity: Well, I agree and to one extent you’re partially right. But they did get one thing right, that there were a group of radicals that were at war with the United States and we were in a war with them. We saw the first Trade Center bombing, the embassy bombings, the USS Cole and we have radicals that think God is going to reward them in heaven with virgins, Jesse. How do you stop them? What do you do?
Jesse Ventura: You pay attention to memos on August 6th that tell you exactly what Bin Laden’s going to do. Instead we hear Condaleeza Rice saying, “I didn’t know what they were going to do” and the memo says, “Bin Laden said to hijack planes and ram them into buildings”.
Sean Hannity: I have a better idea.
Jesse Ventura: And your buddy George Bush, he was on vacation in Crawford at that time. Did you know he took over 900 days of vacationing?
Sean Hannity: So what? Presidents are never off. Do you know that… let me give you an example.
Jesse Ventura: This one was. He wasn’t on his watch because the biggest attack in history happened on his watch.
Sean Hannity: I wrote about this in my first book, I’ll give you a copy of it before you leave here. Bill Clinton was offered Osama Bin Laden on a silver platter by the Sudan and we passed on him five times. So I don’t want to hear lectures about George Bush and Bin Laden. He did keep us safe, he did put us on a war foot.
Jesse Ventura: Wait, let’s see. George Bush was bailed out of one of his bad business deals by Salem Bin Laden, Osama’s brother. You don’t think there is a connection there? Common!
Sean Hannity: Let me ask you this: Do you not think the quadrupling of our national debt in one year. Would you do that if you were President?
Jesse Ventura: No. I don’t know. Because I was talking about the deficit before the election and you notice that term never came up.
Sean Hannity: I agree.
Jesse Ventura: Through the entire John McCain Osama Bin Laden election nobody would touch the deficit with a ten foot pole. You know who first brought up the deficit? Ross Perot. That’s right. And so don’t come at me that all that the Republicans do is they spend like Democrats, only they charge it. At least the Democrats go cash and carry. The Republicans do the same thing and charge it.
Sean Hannity: But in one year to quadruple the deficit, to have the CBO tell us that in ten years…
Jesse Ventura: Whose going to be left with this?
Sean Hannity: Our kids and grandkids.
Jesse Ventura: That was George Bush’s fault.
Sean Hannity: No, that’s not true. This deficit is Obama’s deficit. This is Obama’s spending. Obama did it in one year.
Jesse Ventura: He did it to fix George Bush’s mess.
Sean Hannity: You just hate Bush so much that you can’t see straight. You can’t see straight.
Jesse Ventura: No, you can’t see straight because you’re so conservative all you do is back the conservatives no matter what they do.
Sean Hannity: Wrong. You haven’t listened to me for 5, 6 years criticizing Republicans for spending too much money. Say that’s right Mister [...].
Jesse Ventura: Mister? You’re not my officer.
Sean Hannity: I’m not. Jesse “The Body” good to see you. You had a good time?
Jesse Ventura: I’m done already? This is it?
Sean Hannity: That’s it.
Jesse Ventura: Geez, you didn’t even get to any good topics.
Sean Hannity: Because you insist on going over the old topic and I knew you would do this.
Jesse Ventura: Because I need to pound it home to people to have them realize that Barack Obama inherited this mess. Republicans had the Congress for six years and they had the Presidency.
Sean Hannity: Well, now it’s Obama’s mess and Obama quadrupled the deficit in one year and we’ll see what happens to our kids and grandkids.
Jesse Ventura: Okay well, George Bush got a bailout too, didn’t he? And you know what’s interesting, Republicans voted for it when it was George Bush’s bailout, but they wouldn’t vote for it when it was Obama’s. That’s politics at its worst. That’s putting your party before the country.
Sean Hannity: I am a Reagan conservative.
Jesse Ventura: Well, I am a Goldwater conservative.
Sean Hannity: I am Reagan conservative. We just disagree on the social issues on many things. Reagan gave us the longest period of peace-time economic growth. He ended the Cold War and he took on evil in his time and I love him for it.
Jesse Ventura: Okay.
Sean Hannity: And Bush kept us safe. Goodbye, thank you.
Jesse Ventura: Kept us safe! The biggest attack in history on his watch. Don’t tell me he kept us safe.
Sean Hannity: Thank you.
Jesse Ventura: No, I’ll thank George Bush who doesn’t read memos and goes on vacations and sleeps.
Sean Hannity: You should thank Bill Clinton for not taking Bin Laden when he was offered.
Jesse Ventura: Well, I’ll put it to you this way. I’d rather have a thousand Monicas than all these 9-11s and the terrorists.
Sean Hannity: I don’t know why I like you, but I do.
Jesse Ventura: Because I tell you the truth, that’s why.
I am amazed at how ignorant our populace is. Do the Democrat or Republican ideologies matter? Does it matter what party runs congress, or sits in the executive mansion? NO. I read,” ad nauseum”, that one party is so much more responsible for our economic demise than the other, and that if only my party had been in power, none of this would have happened. What “Bunk”. Neither of the traditional parties have any concern for the health and welfare of the citizens. Do we all want to hide our collective ‘heads in the sand’? It is my belief that the “Euro-American” leaders are “talking heads”. They do not make the decisions. They are trotted out in front of the cameras to provide the “party line” responses. Ever wonder who writes the federal legislation that our congress institutes? It was widely stated by the congress men and women, during the ‘health care’ legislation, debate, that no one had read the bill, and didn’t know what was in there. Then who creates the legislation? I would imagine it is staff members. Do they determine what is incorporated in the bills? I could go on…..
George W. Bush inherited a 7 billion surplus after Clinton. 911 happened during his watch, there was no evidence on Osama Bin Laden doing it. We don’t have a bounty on him from the FBI but yet we go to War with Afghanistan. Then we go to war with Iraq for weapons of mass destruction. We captured Saddam, occupied the nation, hanged Saddam, and killed his brother. We found no weapons of mass destruction. Then we find out that 19 terrorists were in the deal and 15 were Saudi 2 Egyption, 1 Lybian, and 1 Arab Emrite even though that could be b/s as well. BUT NO IRAQI’s.
Bush left with a 10.6 trillion dollar defecit, now it’s 13.8 trillion defecit cause of obama. Now look at Obama, he pulled us out of Iraq for the most part, now he’s pulling us out of Afghanistan, he passed a law where Main St. will never bail out Wall St. ever again, made it legal to carry a handgun in a national park.
I wouldn’t put obama under a pedastol, but he is a much better president than what we last had. I am neither R or D, I judge an administration by it’s actions.
You mean that Obama (Barry Soetoro), ex-CIA asset, is a better Manchurian Candidate than Bush?
Brothersister, your post would make minor sense if it was dated Jan 3, 2009. But I hear you on how decent of a person he has sounded, just vis a vis. Poor Bush. I feel so sorry for him that Cheney made him be president. It is truly to the New World Order’s discredit that it wasn’t a minor gaffe that Bush has/had Social Anxiety Disorder. And poor poor guy again, if indeed he had to suffer Manchurian Candidate torture. I bet he would in that event have some manner of dispensation from Jesus, toward reincarnation or whatever.
This is scary stuff and we need to do something about it. What does Jesse Ventura expect to do and how can the people help to do something?
I thought we lived in a free country but after seeing some of his programs it seems like HITLER is ready to take over from the dead.
scared of what???? Jesse Ventura is a conspiracy nut…he looks under wvery bush,around every corner and under every bed…he is so afraid of his own shadow ..it is like listening to a schizophrenic…If all these things were really happeing the way he says…he would be dead already. He sounds anti-American to me .
Critically ridiculing a decent human. An American is someone from the Americas. You are a brown bag that Satan pinched a loaf into. If you can save yourself, internalize the revelation that misery is a choice, not an innate prerogative. Free yourself. Choose your thoughts. Choose happiness, serenity, aggressive joy, and productivity in the business of wonder, humility to God’s creation. Know independence from needing the approval of others. Find God. Listen for him. He is peace, contentedness, happiness, and even joy. He is not doubt but faith, not despair but hope, not sadness but joy. Sadness is a choice. Desperation is not strength. Death is not the end. Jesse reflects mostly beauty, and his admonitions are a call to nobleness. You are a marionette of ignorance and fawning over poor souls who raped others to steal power. Seek the approval of yourself, not the stinky butts of your desperate lords.
Your a closed minded idiot You live in a fantasy world
I love Jesse Ventura:) A conspiracy nut? Well, answer why we need all those grave liners stacked in the hundreds of thousands at the camps. Hey, it was on camera, so now debunk it please. Explain why empty camps on rail lines are being revamped with the barbed wire pointing inward. Explain why any with a basic knowledge of money supply can see where the banks are taking us yet none act in congress to stop it. Explain why the plane is not visible and no wreckage is found at the pentagon. And really, explain all the live witness accounts on the day of 9/11 in New York telling of bombs going off on about the same timing as the planes hitting. Sorry, I hang with engineers all day long, so when engineers state physics from a lifetime of work and show why they think the buildings were demo’d, I at least hear them out. That combined with witness accounts live from the scene carry more weight than CNN entertainment network. It was a coordinated attack, and it appears the Pentagon plane did not get there, but the bomb went off on time. Where was flight 93 going? I would like to hear Jesse cover that one.
I suspect the coffins are for when the American people wake up in the event that we should be stupid enough to resist. There will be some fancy explanation for hundreds of thousands of coffins. Prepping for a pandemic? But how convenient to have the laws rearranged (bypassed) for enacting martial law and the plastic coffins lined up all prepared. Ah, it is just a coincidence that camps resembling concentration camps are being prepared all over the United States and oops a few hundred thousand coffins stored upon them. No worries. Be happy. NOT!:)
Oh Mr. Bill McKay… all you righties can come up with is stuff that is either old news, nit-picking, or is totally irrelevant to the big picture. You don’t mind spending resources to try to get some dirt on the President of your country, you don’t mind putting us billion$ in hock with an unnecessary war. Let’s hear some fresh ideas, not just lower taxes, less government. Same ole broken record. GOP is the DNP (Do Nothing Party). Let our bridges fall apart, let our highways turn into to wagon trails, let our schools become the worst in the world… as long as we have enough money for mega weapons and underground survival bunkers, who cares about anyone besides themselves. Same ole, same ole. Get a Life and vote Democrat!
No! – don’t vote Democrat! It is – all – fake! Use your time wisely instead of wasting it out of incredible ignorance. Definitely do SOMETHING. Use your innate superiorities (as long as they are honorable). Use your cerebrum not medulla! It’s critical! Come on! Now!
Has not proven he is an American citizen, in long form Birth Certificate an cant. Does this tell you something Hmmmmmmmmmm
What, is your head always stuck in the fantasy world of sports
I would hope somebody would tell Sean Hannity that being able to talk out of his ass is not a particularly impressive or unique trick.
It sounds more like you don’t like Sean Hannity. When he speaks he speaks the truth and makes sure he can backup what he says. Stop being so bitter and take a bigger look at all that he stands for – in case you hadn’t noticed it’s for the people and the freedoms of our country.
And that is why our freedoms have left while Hannity has been incumbent. You mistake lie for truth, ignorance for knowledge, chaos for order. You are a zombie. Free yourself. Seek the approval of yourself, not the stinky butts of your desperate lords. It is pity for Sean Hannity, Gail. People dislike him just as they dislike sloth, gluttony, self-absorption, vanity. Sean Vanity. Gail, you are much more miserable than danny. Hear and understand that misery is a choice, not fate. You are a student of ignorance; consequently you have inverted your morals, trying to reconcile the incomplete circle of the flawed logic. Don’t be a sloth; take responsibility for your heart beat. Do the work of self-divestment – to find your soul that you have never known. You have only to-date known the validation of critically discontented people. Learn for yourself, not the stinky butts of your hitherto acquaintances.
You need medication badly
Man, I feel you are just plain stupid
Did you graduate first grade
After reading this I would hope Jesse Ventura can be truly objective when he takes on say… Obama’s eligibility under the Constitution.
WHAT, ARE YOU STUPID, HE STILL CANT COME UP WITH THE LONG FORM OF BIRTH CERTIFICATION. yOU LIKE THE DREAM WORLD YOU LIVE IN
