At 2:30 Jesse Ventura says 'for all the courage he had Kyle didn't have the courage to tell the truth'. That is 100% correct in my experience. Sometimes to tell the truth esp against the opposition lies and anger of others takes more strength and courage than people realise.
@@apollothemoonman632, then explain why he sued Chris Kyle years after Chris died,and why that all the other SEALs that where at the bar said the same thing Chris Kyle said ?
I find it very disturbing the amount of people throwing Jesse under the bus. He always supported and went to the graduation of seals. He had a movie career and was a governor. USE your brains people what in the hell would Jesse have to gain, doing what Kyle said he did???? Kyle was a liar he had mental issues , used his lies to put his book over.
+Paulie Walnuts You're absolutely correct, buy it would not cause a all steel from to fall at free fall just an hour after impact. That is just not true.
Ventura is telling the truth. Kyle has been wrapped up in Multipul lies. I respect that he was a veteran and its horrible that he passed but he did lie about alot alive. Truth is truth.
The company that insured the book were the ones paying for the lawsuit, not Kyle's wife, but in court of public opinion it's easier to spin Ventura as the bad guy by claiming he's suing a widow. And given that the news outlets propagated this false story, they have a vested interest in Ventura losing so that they aren't potentially sued next. Use your brains people.
You hit the nail on the head! I served with guys like Kyle, who inflated combat experiences they had because of their huge egos. The problem with public perception of service members -- thanks to the way mainstream media portrays them -- is that they can do no wrong. The media organizations that endorsed Kyle's book used that distorted perception of veterans to their advantage; their sole objective was to maximize profits, even if the information in his book was not based in fact. With that in mind, it was in the best interest of those organizations that Ventura lose the lawsuit. As you stated, if Ventura won the lawsuit, that would also give him grounds to sue the media organizations that endorsed Kyle's book. However, the last I read, Ventura settled with Kyle's Estate. I am assuming there was a fairly large, undisclosed settlement paid out to him.
I really don't get it. Seems to be a case of "appeal to pity" which is a fallacy of logic. For people who argue for the widow, even if she had to pay the money instead of the insurance, why would it be wrong? If your name is worth, let's say, 10 million. Someone lies about you and destroys your name to earn 10 million. He dies and leaves that money to his wife and children. Why is the fact that he died or she is a widow even relevant? That's like saying that if someone steals your life's saving, dies and leave all the money that he stole from you to his wife and children, the wife should keep that money because she is now a widow. Has the Estate of Kyle even acknowledged that the book was a lie? If not, I wouldn't blame Ventura if he decides to take it to the Supreme court since his award was rejected on appeal.

yeah right. He won't STFU about his bull sheet claim to being on a SEAL team in Vietnam. He was UDT at the time and they had two very different jobs. I don't understand the hero worship for this goof.

But he was a pathological liar. People keep respecting him because he was a deadly sniper who was damn good at his job. And his service, and I totally respect that, anybody who’s done service like that deserves respect. However, that doesn’t mean you are above the law, just because you are a veteran doesn’t mean you can lie about the things you’ve done. If you really want to be honorable, these aspects must carry over into your other parts of your life. Remember that veterans are ppl too. There’s good and bad ones, that doesn’t mean millitary service should overshadow any wrongdoings
His stories were mostly lies. He killed innocent non combatants who were walking home or to the market. Yet, to cover it all up they said that they were jihadies. Bullshit…. He is a killer of innocent people unarmed and he will have to deal with it when facing the creator. All those innocent souls will be there as well asking God why did this evil man kill me ?

I have respect for Chris ... but he lied plain and simple . And being that he’s been deified by the country having a controversy like this would obviously destroy his counterparts reputation.

After watching interview after interview after interview of Jessie on this subject, not one sense of deviation in his story tells me he is telling the truth
@@brandonmcclintock4003 let me retype my post in words that you can understand. Apparently words like deviation are above your level and comprehension is also not your strong area
It always puzzles me, at the time of the incident jesse was already famous,actor,politician if he was actually punched, wouldnt have at least a mention in the news?"famous guy is punched",but they have nothing, zero, so it is quite hard to belive in Kyle story.
Exactly. Plus this didn't happen in some dive bar, this supposedly happened in a famous SEAL bar in Coronado that was packed after a BUDS graduation ceremony. It was like a year or two between the time Kyle said he knocked out Jesse to when he went on O'Reilly and elsewhere to claim it happened. Are we really supposed to believe Jesse Ventura went to a BUDS/SEAL graduation ceremony, went to McP's after, loudly said the SEALs "deserve to lose a few", got punched out by Chris Kyle in a crowded SEAL bar, and yet nobody talked about it until Kyle mentioned it happened only when he's promoting his book? Exactly.
I hate to admit it, but I was wrong, I originally believed the story that Chris has told, but now, having seen Jesse tell this story at least a dozen times, his reaction, his telling of it, it is always bang on the same...now, I heard Chris tell his version a few times, and he seemed credible, but Jesse says things that were never made public by the family, such as this lawsuit did not affect them personally, it was covered by the book publishers liability insurance...while I still believe that the majority of Chris' story is true, I'm not so sure on this aspect...
James Green - None of Chris Kyle’s “Jesse Ventura Story” was true. The entire story was a hoax. Chris Kyle claimed in both radio and television interviews that he punched out Jesse Ventura in full view of the police at McP’s bar in Coronado CA. Mr. Kyle also claimed that Mr. Ventura was seen with a black eye the following day at the SEALS Graduation celebration. Yet, Mr. Kyle’s story did not hold up under fact-checking and legal scrutiny. First, the Coronado Police did not back up Mr. Kyle’s claim. Instead, the Coronado Police issued a letter that was submitted in court that contradicted Mr. Kyle’s assertion that their officers were on the scene at McP’s. Second, photographs from the following day at the SEAL graduation clearly show Mr. Ventura without a black eye or any facial injuries, thereby contradicting Mr. Kyle’s other assertions. Mr. Kyle had the opportunity to defend himself at a 2012 pre-trial video taped deposition. Under cross examination from Ventura’s lawyers, Mr. Kyle gave answers that were inconsistent with previous details that he had given in his book. Mr. Kyle’s answers were played in front of a jury. In 2014, HarperCollins, which published Mr. Kyle’s book, “American Sniper”, announced that they were removing the entire chapter entitled, “Punching Out Scruff Face” from future printings of the book. The fact that Mr. Kyle’s own publisher ultimately refused to stand behind his story speaks volumes. Chris Kyle, like Stephen Glass (fired from the New Republic).....or Alicia ‘Tania’ Head (fake 9/11 stories) clearly thought nobody would ever fact-check his fabricated stories.
Once a liar will always be a liar. Nothing he says is truth. It’s exaggerated and it’s other peoples stories or accomplishments that he takes credit for while he had no involvement whatsoever.
With all do respect Chris Kyle got gullible people like you to buy into his fabricated stories, him killing two people for trying to steal his truck, snipping from on top of the superdome, and punching out Jesse Venture was all bullshit just sell books and to play into his ego that he was some badass when in reality he was a liar who threw his integrity away for money
It's no win situation. You sit still and people are left with Kylie version of events. You defend yourself and win your case only to stir up bad feeling from members of the public. Everybody loses here. The 1.8 million doesn't turn back the clock. I believe Jesse would have dropped it if Chris had made amends.
This is classic US government wanting to discredit Jesse . Guess they really did not want Jesse to run for president. They got what they wanted didnt they??
Thing is even if he was going after the widow, her income was based on defamation. It's like saying that the family of a con artist should benefit from their gains.
When this broke out what made me believe chris was a pathological liar was when he tried to discredit Ventura within the seals community . He knew he was about to drop the mask right there . Karma always gets you in the end .
Well also the fact he didn't have the balls to call him out by name. Like, if the story was real, having his actual name in it leads to nothing. He went fully out of his way to name him something else, but heavily implicate that it was Jesse. IMO, to call yourself a SEAL and then not have the guts to say his name with the story? That's complete disrespect.
Chris Kyle went around from talk show to talk show….magazine to magazine….telling one fabricated story after another. Chris Kyle was a prolific serial liar. His trove of fabricated stories were long ago discredited by personnel in the United States Department of Navy, the United States Department of Army, the United States Special Operations Command as well as U.S. law enforcement.
Chris Kyle was a liar, he also served his country in remarkable fashion. I don't know how to feel about him honestly. I fully support Jesse Ventura in his quest to clear his name as he does not deserve to be smeared. I think Kyle deserves to have his reputation tarnished a bit, but I do not think I am going to call him a piece of shit either.
its too bad chris kyle didnt live long enough to hear the verdict of that trial just so he could be called a liar to his face, right before he gets shot and killed by the ptsd marine.
Why does it look like the producers of the show said "perhaps you'd feel more comfortable in this" and handed both of them a sports jacket from the prop storage :)
Governor, actor, professional wrestler athlete, Navy Seal respected by his peers all facts about Jesse Ventura. No Navy Seal support Chris Kyle yet I still see comments dogging Mr Ventura.
Just because a person served their country doesn't mean they don't have character flaws. Kyle obviously had issues. The superdome statement is a perfect example of that.
I agree w Jesse. I don't think anybody....should be coming out w books immediately after the fact. That stuff is not supposed to EVER be advertised. I would love to chat w Mr. Ventura on that issue. And I definitely think it was wrong to scapegoat him like that and he has the right to do something about it.
Some of these comments 🤣 "how dare you do this to a fallen veteran?" Shitt how dare Kyle tell all these lies about his service,especially to a brother in arms jessee ventura,I'm not gonna defend Kyle I'm not going to thank him for his service,he tarnished his own reputation, what I don't understand is when Kyle lied it just opened the door to a massive amount of untruths,guess he thought he was too admired and couldn't loose 🙄
Kyle's character has been well established and who knows what he did in Iraq or wherever else he served? How many innocent civilians did he kill simply because he was a psychopath? Not only Kyle but so many others. That's why America is hated around the world.
Have you read any of his books? He never claimed to kill and children and he only mention killing a women who pulled the pin of a grenade, about to throw it at marines.
Chad Littlefield was Chris Kyle's best friend. He also was killed with Chris. A big funeral was held for Chris, A highway was named after him. Chad Littlefield never got the publicity and respect he so deerved.
This is the real money in politics. After this, Ventura will never hold another public office. He was en route to run for president. This is sad, and America is up the bullshit.
Nah dude, I like Jesse but he wasn't gonna run ever, and he's made clear the only terms he'd accept to do so would be if he was on all 50 state ballots and was included in the debates. Which is fair, he'd run on the Green ticket, but he and all of us know it's a corrupt two-party system that stifles challenges. Don't forget, he won his Minnesota gubernatorial race with little money and polling but once he was allowed to debate the GOP and Dem nominees, he demolished them and won. He beat both parties precisely because he was included in the debates. They won't allow that to happen again.
Ventura should write a book called "American Truth". Ventura all the way! It's a shame the media still sides with Kyle. RIP Chris Kyle...But he lied big time. Such a shame
I harken back to Alvin York over 100 years ago. Had it not been for that one day in the Argonne Forest, most of us likely would have never heard of him. He would have been some faceless country bumpkin (sorry for having offended anyone). But, when he returned stateside to much fanfare, he turned down a lucrative endorsement deal that would have set him up nearly for life. The reason? Because they did what they had to do, and not everyone in his unit came back home. "Things like that aren't for buying and selling." That's integrity. Chris Kyle? He not only embellished, if not outright lied about, his record, he profited from it. Greatly. Sorry, G-d rest his soul, but I have no respect for someone like that.
OK people, just to make a couple of things perfectly clear, Kyle NEVER punched Ventura at the bar, this was proven in a court of law, even Kyle's friends in court could not say he punched him. There is an overwhelming amount of eyewitness and photographic evidence supporting Ventura in this. Second, Kyle did NOT get in a gunfight and kill a person at a gas station like he said he did, this is a fact, he also DID not go to New Orleans during Katrina to shoot looters. He DID however have an absolutely amazing military career and provided invaluable support to operations in the middle east. He IS one of the best American snipers of all time and did unfortunately lose his life tragically trying to do something amazing, helping vets with PTSD on his own dime. These are all facts that can be verified, Ventura is not doing this for money, he offered point blank to drop the suit if Kyle would admit he never punched him, Kyle refused, his family will NOT lose any money as a result of the suit, an insurance company pays for it. Ventura was at the time far more famous and recognizable than Kyle. Ventura is also a former SEAL with two combat tours in Vietnam, do you really think Ventura would A) Bad mouth his old unit like that? B) Do so publicly? C) Go to a celebration for a BUD/S class graduation if he did hold those views? D) Go through with a lawsuit that has already to this point cost him well in excess of 1 million dollars with no return if he wasn't telling the truth?
You’re right. Ventura didn’t get punched. Pictures of Ventura shown in court show no marks or bruises on Ventura’s face. ruclips.net/video/Ks5vmyuc_as/видео.html
One has to ask the question 'if Chris Kyle lacked integrity, how many people did he kill that were not warranted'? Surely another question that needs to be asked is 'at some point killing by a sniper must become just a bit too easy, so at what point should they be removed from that job'?
Jesse might have an ego,but he speaks a lot of sense and the guy was the best colour commentator in wrestling history.When he speaks,many listen and for good reasons and speaks his mind and that upsets lily livered people.gr73.
The jury sided with the celebrity in this case instead of the grieving widow of the "hero". How stupid do you have to be to not see that Kyle made the whole thing up
@@Eric-ff2ii your comment and response just gives enough clear understanding of who you are. You have no honor, lack to show respect or even understand military service. It doesn’t matter to someone who’s hallow
It just seems like Kyle was loopy after coming back. And he got murdered by another loopy ex-serviceman that he was trying to help in a loopy amateur head shrinker way... Only in America is it considered normal for a guy who probably still had PTSD should be taking a diagnosed psychotic to a gun range for therapy.
@@sm0kegh0st "Chris Kyle committed suicide." This is how someone does the unthinkable? Possible, but as with military ops, the more moving parts there are, the less likely it is to succeed (or be likely)... I wouldnt say he committed suicide, I stick to my original judgement that Kyle wasnt right mentally, and was therefore prone to taking risks that normal folks would just never do. Maybe thats where being a former SEAL gave him overconfidence in his ability to deal with anything that life threw at him.
@@rickallen6378 kill over 160 people see if you can live with yourself. youd have to be crazy before you did or you’re definitely going to go insane afterward.
Dude Your hero Jesse is no hero! He's as phony as his wrestling career! It's true I was never in the military but I have a lot of friends who are and they are the ones who told me Jesse wasn't a real Seal . So I did some research which lead to a lot of research that proves without question Jesse is not nor ever was a real seal . He has never been on a real combat mission. JESSE THE FRAUD VENTURA!
If he was never a real SEAL they would exclude him from that tradition he mentions of returning to meet new members on his own training anniversary. So by their own measure, Jesse is a SEAL. I'm not going to argue with them about their own organisation, Im sure he gets alot of criticism also but its not my argument to mess with
Are you not allowed to do research? The navy seals got a petition to have Venturas name banned anything to do the Seals . Anyone can greet new seals. Jessy did go through basic training underwater demolition and that's not a easy task . But that alone would not qualify Jessie to be a seal! The seals did not exist at that time but they incorporated that training in today's Seals. That fact alone makes it impossible for Jessie to be a navy seal. If Jessie is asked directly if he is in factually a real navy seal he will not give a definitive answer. It's a simple yes or no question. The real answer is NO! His own lawyer warned him not to say he is a seal. He brags about him being >>probably
I like Jesse and believed Kyle never hit him but recently watched Kyle’s interview, he explains in detail what happen. no witnesses though??? Was Kyle that much of a sociopath that would actually believe this. Crazy !!! They should of both took a Polygraph or Jesse could still take one. Let’s settle it !
I watched a few interviews with Kyle. And it wasn't hard to determine that Kyle is a liar. Watch for the no eye contact, with the interviewer. Dead giveaway. He lied! End of story.
@@Thunderchild-gz4gc Ventura is nuts, but I've never heard him to lie.

And I can *kinda* respect that.
@Shayne O'Neill Jesse and Chris both exaggerated their military careers. Chris was a legit Navy sniper but for whatever reasons lied about killing bad guys in New Orleans.

There is a growing rift in the team between the older hands who are the "we don't talk about our jobs" and some of the newer guys who have told their stories for money when they got out.
THERE WAS NO FIGHT BETWEEN CHRIS KYLE AND JESSE VENTURA
Charlie McArthur obviously there was
Charlie McArthur there is a million way to a drunkin bar fight everyone has there story .... who knows what the hell happened
@@marcusshearer2614 a jury in federal court ruled for Ventura unanimously due to overwhelming evidence of Kyle's lie... Have a nice night
That got over turned
@@marcusshearer2614 but not do to testimony on the event itself. It was overturned due liability issues against the insurance company, and how it would effect the settlement cost.
I have respect for Chris ... but he lied plain and simple . And being that he’s been deified by the country having a controversy like this would obviously destroy his counterparts reputation. The money that Ventura received I think was deserved due to his loss of a significant amount of income due to him becoming impossible to hire. I am in no way a fan of most of his 9/11 truther stuff but the law is the law
Jesse Ventura 2020!
There are actually people mad at the man because he was lied on dam.
It takes some serious shit to make me agree with the Young Turks on something, and Chris Kyle's lies managed it.
This was a character assassination hit against Ventura.
He is roasting in hell now💜💜💜
+rencrow you're racist
American Sniper should be marketed as fiction.
Never saw it heard it was good. But since I saw this, I'll never watch that fabricated garbage
Yeh cuz a American heros story shouldn’t be shared as a movie and or story
Chris beàt his wife and lied about almost everything he talked about.
He put that chapter in his book so it would sell more copies.
Chris never beat his wife

@@jeffallanday Friend of a friend.
Kyle was a liar plain and simple.
After watching interview after interview after interview of Jessie on this subject, not one sense of deviation in his story tells me he is telling the truth
You're some kind of dumbass then. Not 1 story ever changed
@@brandonmcclintock4003 let me retype my post in words that you can understand. Apparently words like deviation are above your level and comprehension is also not your strong area
It always puzzles me, at the time of the incident jesse was already famous,actor,politician if he was actually punched, wouldnt have at least a mention in the news?"famous guy is punched",but they have nothing, zero, so it is quite hard to belive in Kyle story.
Exactly. Plus this didn't happen in some dive bar, this supposedly happened in a famous SEAL bar in Coronado that was packed after a BUDS graduation ceremony. It was like a year or two between the time Kyle said he knocked out Jesse to when he went on O'Reilly and elsewhere to claim it happened. Are we really supposed to believe Jesse Ventura went to a BUDS/SEAL graduation ceremony, went to McP's after, loudly said the SEALs "deserve to lose a few", got punched out by Chris Kyle in a crowded SEAL bar, and yet nobody talked about it until Kyle mentioned it happened only when he's promoting his book?
Exactly.
I hate to admit it, but I was wrong, I originally believed the story that Chris has told, but now, having seen Jesse tell this story at least a dozen times, his reaction, his telling of it, it is always bang on the same...now, I heard Chris tell his version a few times, and he seemed credible, but Jesse says things that were never made public by the family, such as this lawsuit did not affect them personally, it was covered by the book publishers liability insurance...while I still believe that the majority of Chris' story is true, I'm not so sure on this aspect...
James Green - None of Chris Kyle’s “Jesse Ventura Story” was true. The entire story was a hoax.
Chris Kyle claimed in both radio and television interviews that he punched out Jesse Ventura in full view of the police at McP’s bar in Coronado CA. Mr. Kyle also claimed that Mr. Ventura was seen with a black eye the following day at the SEALS Graduation celebration.
Yet, Mr. Kyle’s story did not hold up under fact-checking and legal scrutiny. First, the Coronado Police did not back up Mr. Kyle’s claim. Instead, the Coronado Police issued a letter that was submitted in court that contradicted Mr. Kyle’s assertion that their officers were on the scene at McP’s.
Second, photographs from the following day at the SEAL graduation clearly show Mr. Ventura without a black eye or any facial injuries, thereby contradicting Mr. Kyle’s other assertions.
Mr. Kyle had the opportunity to defend himself at a 2012 pre-trial video taped deposition. Under cross examination from Ventura’s lawyers, Mr. Kyle gave answers that were inconsistent with previous details that he had given in his book. Mr. Kyle’s answers were played in front of a jury.
In 2014, HarperCollins, which published Mr. Kyle’s book, “American Sniper”, announced that they were removing the entire chapter entitled, “Punching Out Scruff Face” from future printings of the book. The fact that Mr. Kyle’s own publisher ultimately refused to stand behind his story speaks volumes.
Chris Kyle, like Stephen Glass (fired from the New Republic).....or Alicia ‘Tania’ Head (fake 9/11 stories) clearly thought nobody would ever fact-check his fabricated stories.
@@hkhilner Spot on !
Once a liar will always be a liar. Nothing he says is truth. It’s exaggerated and it’s other peoples stories or accomplishments that he takes credit for while he had no involvement whatsoever.
With all do respect Chris Kyle got gullible people like you to buy into his fabricated stories, him killing two people for trying to steal his truck, snipping from on top of the superdome, and punching out Jesse Venture was all bullshit just sell books and to play into his ego that he was some badass when in reality he was a liar who threw his integrity away for money
If this happened there where were the people who saw Chris Kyle punch Jessie? Nowhere because he made the whole story up.
I'm so glad we have people like Jesse Ventura in this world. One of my all-time favorite people. It's such a shame what happened to him.
Jesse can be annoying but there is one great thing about Jesse, he never lie
Great to see and hear from Ventura
Chris Kyle lied. End of story.
Yeppers preach
He is a here he has no reason to lie jessie Ventura is an asshole
Pancho53 how do you know?
No you did.
@@diabetes1226 Kyle opened his mouth
You may have courage but honesty is the deepest courage a human can show
It's no win situation. You sit still and people are left with Kylie version of events. You defend yourself and win your case only to stir up bad feeling from members of the public. Everybody loses here. The 1.8 million doesn't turn back the clock. I believe Jesse would have dropped it if Chris had made amends.
Let's bring back his show
This is classic US government wanting to discredit Jesse . Guess they really did not want Jesse to run for president. They got what they wanted didnt they??
They succeeded. They also murdered Chris Kyle because they were afraid he was such a simpleton he was going to spill the beans.
Thing is even if he was going after the widow, her income was based on defamation. It's like saying that the family of a con artist should benefit from their gains.
When this broke out what made me believe chris was a pathological liar was when he tried to discredit Ventura within the seals community . He knew he was about to drop the mask right there .
Karma always gets you in the end .
Well also the fact he didn't have the balls to call him out by name. Like, if the story was real, having his actual name in it leads to nothing. He went fully out of his way to name him something else, but heavily implicate that it was Jesse. IMO, to call yourself a SEAL and then not have the guts to say his name with the story? That's complete disrespect.
Chris Kyle went around from talk show to talk show….magazine to magazine….telling one fabricated story after another. Chris Kyle was a prolific serial liar. His trove of fabricated stories were long ago discredited by personnel in the United States Department of Navy, the United States Department of Army, the United States Special Operations Command as well as U.S. law enforcement.
Chris Kyle was a liar, he also served his country in remarkable fashion. I don't know how to feel about him honestly. I fully support Jesse Ventura in his quest to clear his name as he does not deserve to be smeared. I think Kyle deserves to have his reputation tarnished a bit, but I do not think I am going to call him a piece of shit either.
no im so offended...
drjeopyl well said.
That's fair.
War does not make heroes. War makes widows and orphans. War makes weapon merchants $$$.
its too bad chris kyle didnt live long enough to hear the verdict of that trial just so he could be called a liar to his face, right before he gets shot and killed by the ptsd marine.
that's how they tell us he died. it doesn't make sense.
Why does it look like the producers of the show said "perhaps you'd feel more comfortable in this" and handed both of them a sports jacket from the prop storage :)
Governor, actor, professional wrestler athlete, Navy Seal respected by his peers all facts about Jesse Ventura. No Navy Seal support Chris Kyle yet I still see comments dogging Mr Ventura.
The seals abandoned Ventura wtf you talking about
Watch the Graham bensinger interview
He was down in the BAJA
Moral courage is so much more rare than physical and combat courage.
Absolutely. The fact that American society would hold Kyle out as a hero is deeply disturbing.
Just because a person served their country doesn't mean they don't have character flaws. Kyle obviously had issues. The superdome statement is a perfect example of that.
I agree w Jesse. I don't think anybody....should be coming out w books immediately after the fact. That stuff is not supposed to EVER be advertised. I would love to chat w Mr. Ventura on that issue. And I definitely think it was wrong to scapegoat him like that and he has the right to do something about it.
Chris Kyle was a DOUSCHER for this and and however many other lies he spread.....
Some of these comments 🤣 "how dare you do this to a fallen veteran?" Shitt how dare Kyle tell all these lies about his service,especially to a brother in arms jessee ventura,I'm not gonna defend Kyle I'm not going to thank him for his service,he tarnished his own reputation, what I don't understand is when Kyle lied it just opened the door to a massive amount of untruths,guess he thought he was too admired and couldn't loose 🙄
I stand with Jessie
I appreciate the commentary on this post...I expected Jesse vitriol, but found the support he deserves 👏!
Kyle's character has been well established and who knows what he did in Iraq or wherever else he served? How many innocent civilians did he kill simply because he was a psychopath? Not only Kyle but so many others. That's why America is hated around the world.
Have you read any of his books? He never claimed to kill and children and he only mention killing a women who pulled the pin of a grenade, about to throw it at marines.
@@triggered8556 Why would he? He knows the scorn he would have received as well as a court marshall.
Pete S. Correct, he knew the ROE and stuck by that.
Soldiers are human and fallible too.
Chris Kyle is an example.
Shame.
Jesse deserves respect AND the truth, just like everyone else.
Chris Kyle saved many soldiers lives.
Chad Littlefield was Chris Kyle's best friend. He also was killed with Chris. A big funeral was held for Chris, A highway was named after him. Chad Littlefield never got the publicity and respect he so deerved.
This is the real money in politics. After this, Ventura will never hold another public office. He was en route to run for president. This is sad, and America is up the bullshit.
Nah dude, I like Jesse but he wasn't gonna run ever, and he's made clear the only terms he'd accept to do so would be if he was on all 50 state ballots and was included in the debates. Which is fair, he'd run on the Green ticket, but he and all of us know it's a corrupt two-party system that stifles challenges. Don't forget, he won his Minnesota gubernatorial race with little money and polling but once he was allowed to debate the GOP and Dem nominees, he demolished them and won. He beat both parties precisely because he was included in the debates. They won't allow that to happen again.
@@citypopFM exactly, the real money in politics. It isnt in party spending, its in who profits off keeping the game rigged for 2 parties.
@@fettbub92 Exactly. Jesse knows what it is. The two parties are two sides of the same interests that run the entire system.
I LOVE JESSIE!!
Ventura should write a book called "American Truth". Ventura all the way! It's a shame the media still sides with Kyle. RIP Chris Kyle...But he lied big time. Such a shame
These interviews are great.
I harken back to Alvin York over 100 years ago. Had it not been for that one day in the Argonne Forest, most of us likely would have never heard of him. He would have been some faceless country bumpkin (sorry for having offended anyone). But, when he returned stateside to much fanfare, he turned down a lucrative endorsement deal that would have set him up nearly for life. The reason? Because they did what they had to do, and not everyone in his unit came back home. "Things like that aren't for buying and selling." That's integrity.
Chris Kyle? He not only embellished, if not outright lied about, his record, he profited from it. Greatly. Sorry, G-d rest his soul, but I have no respect for someone like that.
Jesse Ventura is a Great Man !
Jesse's side is watertight. Glad he prevailed.
Can't believe I'm watching Young Turks. Smh. Jesse is the man though
Aerial Adventure yep
Tayk1987 he’s a cool guy
OK people, just to make a couple of things perfectly clear, Kyle NEVER punched Ventura at the bar, this was proven in a court of law, even Kyle's friends in court could not say he punched him. There is an overwhelming amount of eyewitness and photographic evidence supporting Ventura in this. Second, Kyle did NOT get in a gunfight and kill a person at a gas station like he said he did, this is a fact, he also DID not go to New Orleans during Katrina to shoot looters.
He DID however have an absolutely amazing military career and provided invaluable support to operations in the middle east. He IS one of the best American snipers of all time and did unfortunately lose his life tragically trying to do something amazing, helping vets with PTSD on his own dime.
These are all facts that can be verified, Ventura is not doing this for money, he offered point blank to drop the suit if Kyle would admit he never punched him, Kyle refused, his family will NOT lose any money as a result of the suit, an insurance company pays for it. Ventura was at the time far more famous and recognizable than Kyle. Ventura is also a former SEAL with two combat tours in Vietnam, do you really think Ventura would A) Bad mouth his old unit like that? B) Do so publicly? C) Go to a celebration for a BUD/S class graduation if he did hold those views? D) Go through with a lawsuit that has already to this point cost him well in excess of 1 million dollars with no return if he wasn't telling the truth?
spot on :)
he would go through with the lawsuit if not doing it meant destroying his image, which is clearly his bread and butter.
I had no idea Jesse Ventura was involved with The American Sniper guy whatsoever until I watched this
Lmao I bet Jesse Ventura could kick Chris Kyles ass.
Ryan Busillo I believe it, Jesse has that natural intimidating figure about him
I was there and I can definitely say that it didn’t happen I’m living in Australia now and I’m still hearing about this shit

You’re right. Ventura didn’t get punched. Pictures of Ventura shown in court show no marks or bruises on Ventura’s face. ruclips.net/video/Ks5vmyuc_as/видео.html
@@tonybreward8678 Yes I was there
@@brunomgpinto 🐂💩
One has to ask the question 'if Chris Kyle lacked integrity, how many people did he kill that were not warranted'? Surely another question that needs to be asked is 'at some point killing by a sniper must become just a bit too easy, so at what point should they be removed from that job'?
Only thing I agree with TYT about is Criss Kyle.
Jesse might have an ego,but he speaks a lot of sense and the guy was the best colour commentator in wrestling history.When he speaks,many listen and for good reasons and speaks his mind and that upsets lily livered people.gr73.
Ventura is a liar who wasn't in the Navy Seals and never went to Vietnam, how does that fit with your hero worship of the fake?
Lost a show about conspiracies , maybe that sniper guy was offered to lie . Ventura has got some political enemies.
The jury sided with the celebrity in this case instead of the grieving widow of the "hero". How stupid do you have to be to not see that Kyle made the whole thing up
Anybody else find it funny Cenk calling somebody else a notorious liar funny
Lmao I know right
Yeah Clinton Obama Bush and Biden all lied to Americans Trump 2024

It just seems like Kyle was loopy after coming back. And he got murdered by another loopy ex-serviceman that he was trying to help in a loopy amateur head shrinker way...
Only in America is it considered normal for a guy who probably still had PTSD should be taking a diagnosed psychotic to a gun range for therapy.
Chris Kyle committed suicide. Change my mind.
@@sm0kegh0st "Chris Kyle committed suicide."
This is how someone does the unthinkable? Possible, but as with military ops, the more moving parts there are, the less likely it is to succeed (or be likely)...
I wouldnt say he committed suicide, I stick to my original judgement that Kyle wasnt right mentally, and was therefore prone to taking risks that normal folks would just never do.
Maybe thats where being a former SEAL gave him overconfidence in his ability to deal with anything that life threw at him.
It just seems like Kyle is a lying piece of garbage.

@@wokevikki4332 of course, I respect his service. But why’s he keep lying? PTSD and being a liar don’t correlate
He was "off the grid in Mexico" so unable to defend himself publicly, but was able to Skype with his attorney to bring a lawsuit?
After Kyle started making the talk show and podcast rounds the information got to him a lot quicker.
Only People who where never in the militaty are telling that Jessy was not a Seal
Dude Your hero Jesse is no hero! He's as phony as his wrestling career! It's true I was never in the military but I have a lot of friends who are and they are the ones who told me Jesse wasn't a real Seal . So I did some research which lead to a lot of research that proves without question Jesse is not nor ever was a real seal . He has never been on a real combat mission. JESSE THE FRAUD VENTURA!
If he was never a real SEAL they would exclude him from that tradition he mentions of returning to meet new members on his own training anniversary. So by their own measure, Jesse is a SEAL. I'm not going to argue with them about their own organisation, Im sure he gets alot of criticism also but its not my argument to mess with
Are you not allowed to do research? The navy seals got a petition to have Venturas name banned anything to do the Seals . Anyone can greet new seals. Jessy did go through basic training underwater demolition and that's not a easy task . But that alone would not qualify Jessie to be a seal! The seals did not exist at that time but they incorporated that training in today's Seals. That fact alone makes it impossible for Jessie to be a navy seal. If Jessie is asked directly if he is in factually a real navy seal he will not give a definitive answer. It's a simple yes or no question. The real answer is NO! His own lawyer warned him not to say he is a seal. He brags about him being >>probably
Manuel: Playing a badass in a movie hardly qualifies as a real badass. Dumbass!
@@drelliott2833 You just proved his point within two sentences.
I like Jesse and believed Kyle never hit him but recently watched Kyle’s interview, he explains in detail what happen. no witnesses though???
Was Kyle that much of a sociopath that would actually believe this. Crazy !!!
They should of both took a Polygraph or Jesse could still take one. Let’s settle it !
Polygraphs are super unreliable and don’t work the guy that invented them even said so
Hes a highly trained navy seal sniper i think he could pass any lie detector
Scott Smith you missed my point
I watched a few interviews with Kyle. And it wasn't hard to determine that Kyle is a liar. Watch for the no eye contact, with the interviewer. Dead giveaway. He lied! End of story.
Silk Boxing any liar can explain anything in detail. It's not hard to do

They both are.
@@Thunderchild-gz4gc Ventura is nuts, but I've never heard him to lie.

And I can *kinda* respect that.
@Shayne O'Neill Jesse and Chris both exaggerated their military careers. Chris was a legit Navy sniper but for whatever reasons lied about killing bad guys in New Orleans.
