Jesse Ventura

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.

Well, I was being governor of Minnesota in the end. I'd say for 40 grand a year.

Yeah. There you go.

And I'm in charge of a $16 billion budget. Huh. Uh, what do you think I'd be making if I was the CEO in the private sector of a $16 billion company? If I was the CEO, 120 a year.

Yeah, it pays a lot better. I might, I might even win more, but anyway, no, that was a reason I didn't run again. Being honest, the money. Oh, I guess I could have made more money if I wanted to become corrupt. You know, if I'd have wanted to sell my soul to rock and roll and take some payola, I suppose there was money to be made. Jesse was just too naive, and Jesse's just too honest.
