Find this article:
"Jesse Ventura, former Minnesota governor, has reinvented himself -- again. The former pro wrestler, 58, hosts TruTV's new "Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura," airing Wednesdays, and he promises, "This show will scare the pants off you. I got scared doing this show, and I'm not a person who scares easily." Still vocal about politics (he called Sarah Palin "a quitter" for resigning), we ask whether he would go back. "Not at this point," he tells us. But "five years from now, I can't predict."
Now this article's not on www.nydailynews.com , so I'll describe it this way. It's at the bottom of page 7 in the
New York Vue weekly TV guide & it says the
following:
"Jesse's 'Conspiracy' venture
Jesse Ventura has a new mission with his
truTV "Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura" show, which seeks the truth about
modern-day conspiracy theories - but not
with any help from the government.
"Anything that dealt with the government -
we got zero cooperation," complains the
former Minneasota governor, wrestling star
and Navy SEAL. "No one would talk to us.
... Does that not open the door to conspiracy theories?" he asks. As for the
demise of 2003's "Jesse Ventura America" -
cancelled by MSNBC in less than four months - he believes his views on the Iraq
War stymied his chances. "They found out I
was against it - that's why I never saw the
airtime - but they were honorable and paid
me for all three years," says Ventura.
"Maybe it's time we start listening to our
veterans more - veterans like myself who
went through the Vietnam War. Now it's my generation that's deceiving the young
people and doing the same thing to them
that we had done to us. They should be
ashamed."
