1:07:26Now PlayingJesse "The Body" Ventura is back on Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff, and he is unloading. The former Governor, Navy SEAL, mayor, and WWE Hall of Famer calls the Iran strikes completely illegal, labels the Trumps "a family of cowards" for never putting on the uniform while profiting off defense contracts, and warns that the United States is now a third-world nation the moment federal troops started doing daily law enforcement on American streets. Paul and Jesse cover the USS Lincoln stranded at sea for nine months, Pete Hegseth treating war like a pep talk, the $40 trillion debt Republicans keep stacking on the credit card, the rise of independent Senate candidates like Bodnar, Bangs, Osborn, and Achilles, Jesse's standing offer to fill Amy Klobuchar's Senate seat, and the never-before-fully-told story of how MSNBC and General Electric paid him for three years to keep him off the air before the Iraq invasion. History, hot takes, and a shove toward the independent majority — from the man who proved it can be done.
