Jesse Ventura

No, I wasn't necessarily. I don't support Democrats or Republicans. He joined the Republican Party and he even did worse. He joined the ultra conservative evangelical right. Pretty hard for an agnostic atheist to support that.

Multiple reasons. Personal. More to do in life. I could have won easily. I remember when I had the highest approval ratings in Minnesota history at 73%, 72%. And I remember right before re-election was due to happen, I had fallen to 49%. And the media immediately challenged me and said, oh, my God, for the first time, you're under 50%.

I looked at the media and I said, are you guys really that stupid? I said, you must consider something. It's a three-person race. If I'm at 49%, that means I'm up 12. I won with 37. Right. So if I'm now at 49, I'm up 12. It's a landslide. People forget in a three-person race, the dynamics change.

Mainly because they attacked my children. They couldn't attack nothing else. So they had to go after my son. They had to go after my kids.

One of the reasons. The other was money. You know how much I was being governor for? Let's get it on the board. All right. When I was governor, I got paid $120,000 a year. You know how much the football coach at the University of Minnesota makes? $4 to $5 million a year. So I guess coaching football has more responsibility than being governor. I can only assume that by how our society pays.

The governor makes, now he makes 150, but at my time it was 120, and the football coach makes 4 million, 5 million. Okay, out of the 120,000, I had to pay taxes. Yeah. Right? Out of the 120,000, I also had to pay for my car that drove me around. They deduct the mileage to and from the Capitol. They only let you have it during the workday.

So I said to them, okay, I'll drive my private car to the Capitol. Then I'll take the governor's car so I don't get charged money. Oh, public safety come in and said, you can't do that. Why? We need you in the governor's car because it's got the weapons and the safety and the radios. So it's a catch-22. They stick, make you use the car and then charge you for it. It comes out of your paycheck.

It don't end there. You know what else I had to pay for? Every meal that me and my family ate at the governor's residence is deducted out of my pay.
