Hello, freak bitches
When all that shit went down with Chris Kyle and the fan when he said that he
punched you in a bar
Yeah, you sued the family like no, I didn't well. I didn't sue the family. You
sued him rather. Excuse me
I sued him and he died and then the suit automatically goes to his estate. That's
the way the legal works
She was never in any jeopardy because in any
Writer's contract you have insurance from the publisher. So it's me. They
portrayed it and I became the villain
Going after the widow and the kids exactly that's the biggest lie. It was a big
insurance company
That's covering the whole thing. They're not out of penny and they won't be out
of penny
You had to explain that I'm sure over and over. No, I couldn't explain it
But the tie the trial got overturned because the insurance came out
So it's okay to lie in court, but if the truth comes out, you can get a new
trial the insurance came out
What does that mean in court? You're not allowed to say that insurance is
paying for everything
Even though it's the truth. You're not allowed to say that in court
So what happens when you say it in court? Well, it came out and the judge
allowed it to a limited degree and then the appeals court ruled that the judge
shouldn't have did that
Because having the judge say that it's ways people will be they think that if
it's fine to go against the insurance company
Yeah, because the insurance company is a big even even though the other side is
doing what's called poor mouthing
They're getting up and saying it's taxing them financially and lying
The truth is
Insurance is paying for all of it. Don't get up and lie about it
So the other side was saying this is going to devastate our family. Oh, yeah
In reality. Oh, yeah trying to influence the and and in this case, let me state
this
How overwhelming must the evidence have been for the jury to go against the
grieving widow of the dead war veteran?
Yeah, it must be pretty overwhelming
The evidence was overwhelming the the jury went from they came for me
They said he was lied. This didn't happen and we're a warning. Why do you think
he did that?
Did you know him? No, you didn't know him. No, I mean, I didn't know even who
he was until the thing happened
We were there on the same nights
We were at Mcp's because I was there for a graduation of class 258. I'm class
58
It's traditionally every hundred classes if you can you come back to the
graduation
So class 258 was graduating the next day on Friday
I came out along with my teammates from class 58 to attend that graduation the
next day
So why would I say bad things about the seals if I'm there? That's what he said.
He punched me for
Well, tell people don't know what we're talking about because probably a lot of
people listen to this have no idea what we're talking about
So let me just film in real quick all right the the book American sniper the
movie with
Bradley Cooper was just giant hit movie very patriotic movie about a guy was
one of the most successful snipers in US history, right?
Very successful warrior Navy SEAL war hero. Everybody loved him
Then he goes on the Opie and Anthony show and he says that he punched you out
Well, there's a chapter in his book. Yes where he writes that he called me scruff
face
Yeah, and he said that I said seals deserve to die
That in other words, he accused me of treason. Yes, and I was out there for a
seal graduation
If I felt that way about my old unit
Why would I be attending so he wrote in the book he gave you a nickname in the
book scruff face whoever I mean
He might not have even when he wrote it in the book
He might not have even thought that he was going to give that to you
I mean who knows what was going on my thought was at the time I was trying to
wrap my head around why anybody would do this
And I was thinking but maybe he's just trying to generate as much controversy
as possible to generate as much income as possible from his book
And it just got out of hand. I don't I mean I'm sure I was trying to put it
together because there was a couple other fabrications, right?
there was a
Shooting at a gas station that never took place
Yeah, and he said that he during Katrina he was on the dome and shot people who
were looting
Yeah, that was the same because that's murder. Yeah, and he also lied about his
medals the Navy had to come out and correct
He said he had two silver stars and five bronze stars. He had one silver star
and three bronze stars
So he lied about three medals. Well, that's it's a one in three is impressive
enough exactly
Yeah, exactly and then they try to give him an excuse saying well. He was
confused
No, you're not when you get a medal like that. It's like graduating from
college
They give you a certificate that puts on your wall if you win the bronze star
or the silver star
But as a as a seal yourself and he threw me under the bus
What does that feel like to you because treason, but this is obviously this is
something that's very near and dear to your heart
Who hugely he has made it to where I can't go to a reunion anymore?
There were a hundred and seventy seals that wanted me kicked out of the udt
seal association
Over his lie and the lies of his buddies who came up and tried to testify for
him
So what it got embarrassing is my trial said that it actually happened
No, they couldn't say it, but they tried to say everything else to make it seem
like it did
Well, how the hell they do that? Well because they dance around the questions
and the lawyering and well
You have to piece together there wasn't one witness that saw me get hit
And there wasn't one witness that heard me say any things he attributed to me
and weren't you
Visible the next day. Yeah, we have pictures. No punch photographs that night
Them posing for pictures with me if I had said all this stuff. Why would they
have take pictures with me?
What does that feel like when someone just fucking lies?
horrible
and and what makes about a terrible terrible and what's worse about it is the
media jumps on it and convicts me of it because why?
They broke the story when I went off the grid in Mexico where I couldn't even
come back
So they broke the story. Do you think they knew?
I'm starting to believe it but weren't what didn't it happen on the opian anthony
show?
Yeah, but I don't think that was planned because I know those guys they yeah,
but there but was the whole well
They also did it. He did it that day on O'Reilly later that afternoon
So he once he named you he just started naming you everyone. Oh, yeah, then he
was then it went viral
It went viral and everyone convicted me because they said well this Iraq war
veteran wouldn't lie
Really? I just I watched
Well, let me tell you all that it's destroyed my life. I
Can't get hired for a job during my trial after it was over. Guess what
happened?
34 major media conglomerates entered the the the trial with that Amos Amos see
they call it or whatever of
Influencing the Court of Appeals to overturn my verdict and they did it
34 media conglomerates the New York Times the Washington Post all of these
media conglomerates
Appeal to the Court of Appeals to overturn my verdict, but why because I won on
something called unjust enrichment
They want the ability to be able to defame you and profit from it
In other words, I'll put it what they had what these judges accommodated them
with there's gonna be another trial
They've ordered a new trial so I got to go through it again
But I'm glad because when it comes out two juries and two judges find Kyle
guilty
Who's not going to believe it then?
And but the point is they they've ordered a new trial
They've they just they threw out the whole verdict of the jury the federal
judge who wrote substantial evidence
Supporting the jury's verdict
They did all that and they violated their own rules a
76-year rule
here's what it states
If because it happened during summation where the judge allowed it in the my
attorney it ended up
Four questions in an 11-day trial and a half a page of a 20 page summary and it
was overturned on that and
They overturned it because they felt that was undue influence on the jury that
they found out that insurance was paying for everything
So it was perfectly one factor well, and here's the deal
If the rules state that if in final argument they say something you must object
You must object so the trial lawyer has a chance to rule during final argument
and the jury has a chance to hear the ruling
They never objected so they must object to undue influence because of the fact
that it was
Wait, they never wait. They never objected the jury was dismissed at 11:58 at
12:02
They then objected the judge overruled them and we were done with it
Well, these two judges Riley and Shepherd have now overturned the case on
something that was never objected to in trial
They objected to it so they overturned the jury and the federal judge then they
also overturned my unjust enrichment claim
Because the media didn't want it what they've allowed now is the media can defame
you and profit from it and you can't get any of their profits
And no matter how they harm you
Well, that's the equivalent of if you went out and robbed the bank and they
caught you and they sentence you to two years in prison for the bank robbery
But when you get out you get to keep all the money you took
So that's in this particular case
Yes, they're talking about this particular which will now be the standard
Because they've ruled that way. They now make it to where you can profit from
wrongdoing
because of this case yep
This is such a touchy case because it's so indicative of the complications of
people because people are not simple
It's really very touchy. He lied. He did lie, but
And he harmed me with his lie that but that's not what I'm saying
What's complicated is he's also the subject of this gigantic movie and this
symbol of patriotism?
Where so many people will say Chris Kyle rest in peace so many people would
have I saw a cloud
That was someone took a photo in the cloud. That's not a cloud. That's a Chris.
Chris Kyle
It looked like a sniper in the club in this it's Chris Kyle guiding
Guarding the skies like it became a meme. I mean he became this thing where it
wasn't he was a representative of the the brave military
Like the the portrayal but honestly the portrayal that Bradley Cooper played in
that movie that movie was so
Simplistic and so it was it was like a run out of a Joseph Campbell
Okay, let me have a perfect heroes journey had I not gone to court
That would have been in the movie
Really? I had to stop it. They were gonna have him punch you in the movie
Well, certainly it's in the book. Holy shit, and I had to stop it because you
know when we were when we were in trial
You know what they tried to do to diminish my role because when they knew they
were gonna lose
Their lawyer got me on the stand and he said mr. Ventura
He said would it surprise you to know that the first
Draft of the movie doesn't have you in it
Trying to prove how insignificant
My would say the first draft of the movie that doesn't mean shit. Well the
first draft
Yeah, but so what if the second draft has you in it though. I said here's with
my response
I said no that wouldn't surprise me at all
Because I said we've sent two letters to Warner Brothers warning them that if I'm
indeed in in this movie
They will be next to be sued
So we put Warner Brothers on notice that if this chapter is included in your
movie
You will get sued next and you know people out here. They don't want to step
into a lawsuit
That's the only thing that kept me from being punched out in that movie and
portrayed me as a villain in that frickin movie
I've never seen the villain way more than a villain. Yeah, right. I mean that
is insane
It is insane because what's what's crazy to me and what's complicated about
this is that there are
thousands and thousands of brave men and women who have risked their lives
sacrifice their lives and
this guy becomes this this figurehead and where he he rises above
Including me including you. Yes, very important, but he rises above all this
and becomes this
Icon figure yes this iconic figure that you can't tarnish and then the truth is
irrelevant and they're willing to sacrifice
People like you and the truth just for this overall image of patriotism. Yep
It's crazy. What a crazy place that must have been for you still is
In fact, do you know that this person that I told you about with the seizures?
The seizure disorder started right after this. I'm sure and see
Doctors have said seizures can be caused by stress
So I hold Chris Kyle directly responsible for the seizure disorder
Also that I had to face that marijuana cured
Did you ever communicate with him face-to-face only once at the first when we
first in June?
I didn't even know who he was and then in June of 2012 after the book came out
in January
We had a settlement conference where he kept saying that if he met me in person
we could work it out
So at this conference we agreed I would meet him in a room the judge in the
corner and just he and I like you and I are here
We sat down in the room and I looked him right in the face and I said why did
you do this?
You never punched me. He looked me back and said yes, I did I turned to the
judge. I said there's no need to go any farther
I said if he's not going to admit it didn't happen face-to-face one-on-one and
I challenge his courage
Because yeah, he had the courage to go to Iraq. He had the courage to shoot all
these people
But he didn't have the courage to tell the truth did he?
What a bizarre moment that must have been sitting across from that guy. Yeah,
and he looked at me and said yes, I did what was the look in his face? I
Believe and I'm not a doctor, but I've done some studying. I think he was a
sociopath
Sociopaths can lie and hold a straight face and they lie to the point where
they believe their own lie
How bizarre is it that this iconic figure well and then look how he died?
Yeah, well he had no training in post-traumatic stress. He's not medical and
yet he's taking this marine to a gun range
Who's suffering from post-traumatic stress wouldn't common sense tell you not
to put a weapon in the hands of someone suffering?
From post-traumatic stress. I think every what do you do tell him to man up
stress is different. What do they tell him to man up?
Why would you put a weapon in somebody's hands who's suffering from post-traumatic
stress when you have no medical training?
How is Kyle qualified to
Treat this guy well, I would assume it would be based on his own post-traumatic
stress, but he didn't have it
He didn't have it at all. No, he was never treated for it. He may have had it
Maybe that's why he did what he did. I don't know
God what a crazy place to be but but the for me, it's like I've been accused of
something. I didn't do
I don't even know the guy never I may have met him that night briefly
Well, let me tell you something. I obviously didn't get a one one millionth of
a percent of the amount of hate that you did
But just read I got read off
September 11th of this year. I was in New York doing this book tour and I got
read off in a hotel lobby over this
What does that mean read off a guy yelled and screamed at me in front of the
entire hotel lobby?
Jesus Christ, that's what I live with now and I haven't been damaged
My reputation isn't damaged over something. I never did
What I was gonna say is I obviously haven't experienced one one millionth of
the hate that you have but I read we read this article on the air
We were trying to figure out what happened when your case was going on and so
we read this article that was I don't know
It was in the New York Times see if you could find the article the detailing
all the various lies
Oh, that's the New Yorker magazine New Yorker. Yeah, they did an investigation
of him
but it's stunning and just reading that the the fucking amount of hate tweets
and Facebook tweets and you fucking coward and you this and you that I'm like
Hey, I didn't write it. Okay. I'm just trying to figure out what the fuck is
going on
And if someone put something like that in the New Yorker with verified claims,
I mean everything's verified
Like what they were saying that he said and what actually had happened was all
verified. Yeah, it's very very very confusing that
Somehow or another this slipped through the cracks and that this became their
iconic figure again
Not discounting along with you the thousands and thousands of
Patriotic Americans that risked their lives and he is too
Nobody's denying he wasn't a great sniper. Nobody's denying. He didn't do his
job
I've never denied that from him or said that about him. He may be the best. I
don't know
I'll still put my money on Carlos Hathcock though the marine
As being the best sniper well, especially now, but but he did his job and he
did it well
But why did he have to take an old veteran that would be like me taking a World
War two guy and throwing him under the bus?
Why the fuck would he choose you because I had fame?
He I think he got jealous that night
We were at the bar because everyone crowded around and wanted their picture
with me
Wow, I
Don't know
He'll never be around to answer it. I'd love to know why he picked out me I
think because I'm probably the most famous
Maybe or I developed to be the most famous seal other than Dick Marsinko the
rogue warrior
Great books. Yeah, read his books. Well, he's a friend of mine Richard Marsinko
When you sat down and you're talking to this guy how much time were you
actually in the room with him? Oh a couple of minutes was all the
minute the minute he looked me in the eye and said I sure did hit you I
Turned to the judge said we got nothing more to talk about you didn't want I
was even offered him
I said if you will walk out to be with the press and
Admit you fabricated this story. I will forgive you in front of the press and
we will go on with our lives
He would not do it. He did not have the courage to stand up and tell the truth
It takes a lot of courage to admit you lied about something that massive. I
mean this is in line about speeding, right?
This is this is a massive, but what about ruining my life?
Ruining my reputation ruining my wife's life
Rue I lost my conspiracy theory show because of it really I can't get hired
Right now. I can't get a job my last job was on the internet at aura TV
Because the owners Carlos Slim from Mexico from that you know who I'm hired you
know who I work for now the Russians
Russian TV RTs the only people that will hire me because 34 media conglomerates
entered this case
To overturn me you think they're gonna hire me now explain that why do you
think they did that?
Do you think they did that because if they overturn your case if they can
somehow or another?
Because they don't want to have a fact check, but is that it or is that discrediting
you in public?
That was a gigantic hit movie
But if they dis if they can discredit you it makes that movie still valuable
Not only that it stops me from running for president don't and if they can discredit
me

Jesse Ventura Discusses Chris Kyle & Lawsuit (from Joe Rogan Experience #858)

Hello, freak bitches
When all that shit went down with Chris Kyle and the fan when he said that he
punched you in a bar
Yeah, you sued the family like no, I didn't well. I didn't sue the family. You
sued him rather. Excuse me
I sued him and he died and then the suit automatically goes to his estate. That's
the way the legal works
She was never in any jeopardy because in any
Writer's contract you have insurance from the publisher. So it's me. They
portrayed it and I became the villain
Going after the widow and the kids exactly that's the biggest lie. It was a big
insurance company
That's covering the whole thing. They're not out of penny and they won't be out
of penny
You had to explain that I'm sure over and over. No, I couldn't explain it
But the tie the trial got overturned because the insurance came out
So it's okay to lie in court, but if the truth comes out, you can get a new
trial the insurance came out
What does that mean in court? You're not allowed to say that insurance is
paying for everything
Even though it's the truth. You're not allowed to say that in court
So what happens when you say it in court? Well, it came out and the judge
allowed it to a limited degree and then the appeals court ruled that the judge
shouldn't have did that
Because having the judge say that it's ways people will be they think that if
it's fine to go against the insurance company
Yeah, because the insurance company is a big even even though the other side is
doing what's called poor mouthing
They're getting up and saying it's taxing them financially and lying
The truth is
Insurance is paying for all of it. Don't get up and lie about it
So the other side was saying this is going to devastate our family. Oh, yeah
In reality. Oh, yeah trying to influence the and and in this case, let me state
this
How overwhelming must the evidence have been for the jury to go against the
grieving widow of the dead war veteran?
Yeah, it must be pretty overwhelming
The evidence was overwhelming the the jury went from they came for me
They said he was lied. This didn't happen and we're a warning. Why do you think
he did that?
Did you know him? No, you didn't know him. No, I mean, I didn't know even who
he was until the thing happened
We were there on the same nights
We were at Mcp's because I was there for a graduation of class 258. I'm class
58
It's traditionally every hundred classes if you can you come back to the
graduation
So class 258 was graduating the next day on Friday
I came out along with my teammates from class 58 to attend that graduation the
next day
So why would I say bad things about the seals if I'm there? That's what he said.
He punched me for
Well, tell people don't know what we're talking about because probably a lot of
people listen to this have no idea what we're talking about
So let me just film in real quick all right the the book American sniper the
movie with
Bradley Cooper was just giant hit movie very patriotic movie about a guy was
one of the most successful snipers in US history, right?
Very successful warrior Navy SEAL war hero. Everybody loved him
Then he goes on the Opie and Anthony show and he says that he punched you out
Well, there's a chapter in his book. Yes where he writes that he called me scruff
face
Yeah, and he said that I said seals deserve to die
That in other words, he accused me of treason. Yes, and I was out there for a
seal graduation
If I felt that way about my old unit
Why would I be attending so he wrote in the book he gave you a nickname in the
book scruff face whoever I mean
He might not have even when he wrote it in the book
He might not have even thought that he was going to give that to you
I mean who knows what was going on my thought was at the time I was trying to
wrap my head around why anybody would do this
And I was thinking but maybe he's just trying to generate as much controversy
as possible to generate as much income as possible from his book
And it just got out of hand. I don't I mean I'm sure I was trying to put it
together because there was a couple other fabrications, right?
there was a
Shooting at a gas station that never took place
Yeah, and he said that he during Katrina he was on the dome and shot people who

Yeah, that was the same because that's murder. Yeah, and he also lied about his
medals the Navy had to come out and correct
He said he had two silver stars and five bronze stars. He had one silver star
and three bronze stars
So he lied about three medals. Well, that's it's a one in three is impressive
enough exactly
Yeah, exactly and then they try to give him an excuse saying well. He was
confused
No, you're not when you get a medal like that. It's like graduating from
college
They give you a certificate that puts on your wall if you win the bronze star
or the silver star
But as a as a seal yourself and he threw me under the bus
What does that feel like to you because treason, but this is obviously this is
something that's very near and dear to your heart
Who hugely he has made it to where I can't go to a reunion anymore?
There were a hundred and seventy seals that wanted me kicked out of the udt
seal association
Over his lie and the lies of his buddies who came up and tried to testify for
him
So what it got embarrassing is my trial said that it actually happened
No, they couldn't say it, but they tried to say everything else to make it seem

Well, how the hell they do that? Well because they dance around the questions
and the lawyering and well
You have to piece together there wasn't one witness that saw me get hit
And there wasn't one witness that heard me say any things he attributed to me
and weren't you
Visible the next day. Yeah, we have pictures. No punch photographs that night
Them posing for pictures with me if I had said all this stuff. Why would they
have take pictures with me?
What does that feel like when someone just fucking lies?
horrible
and and what makes about a terrible terrible and what's worse about it is the
media jumps on it and convicts me of it because why?
They broke the story when I went off the grid in Mexico where I couldn't even
come back
So they broke the story. Do you think they knew?

It went viral and everyone convicted me because they said well this Iraq war
veteran wouldn't lie
Really? I just I watched
Well, let me tell you all that it's destroyed my life. I
Can't get hired for a job during my trial after it was over. Guess what
happened?
34 major media conglomerates entered the the the trial with that Amos Amos see
they call it or whatever of
Influencing the Court of Appeals to overturn my verdict and they did it
34 media conglomerates the New York Times the Washington Post all of these
media conglomerates
Appeal to the Court of Appeals to overturn my verdict, but why because I won on
something called unjust enrichment
They want the ability to be able to defame you and profit from it
In other words, I'll put it what they had what these judges accommodated them
with there's gonna be another trial
They've ordered a new trial so I got to go through it again
But I'm glad because when it comes out two juries and two judges find Kyle
guilty
Who's not going to believe it then?
And but the point is they they've ordered a new trial
They've they just they threw out the whole verdict of the jury the federal
judge who wrote substantial evidence
Supporting the jury's verdict
They did all that and they violated their own rules a
76-year rule
here's what it states
If because it happened during summation where the judge allowed it in the my
attorney it ended up
Four questions in an 11-day trial and a half a page of a 20 page summary and it
was overturned on that and
They overturned it because they felt that was undue influence on the jury that

Because the media didn't want it what they've allowed now is the media can defame

And no matter how they harm you
Well, that's the equivalent of if you went out and robbed the bank and they
caught you and they sentence you to two years in prison for the bank robbery
But when you get out you get to keep all the money you took
So that's in this particular case
Yes, they're talking about this particular which will now be the standard
Because they've ruled that way. They now make it to where you can profit from
wrongdoing
because of this case yep
This is such a touchy case because it's so indicative of the complications of
people because people are not simple
It's really very touchy. He lied. He did lie, but
And he harmed me with his lie that but that's not what I'm saying
What's complicated is he's also the subject of this gigantic movie and this
symbol of patriotism?
Where so many people will say Chris Kyle rest in peace so many people would
have I saw a cloud
That was someone took a photo in the cloud. That's not a cloud. That's a Chris.
Chris Kyle
It looked like a sniper in the club in this it's Chris Kyle guiding
Guarding the skies like it became a meme. I mean he became this thing where it
wasn't he was a representative of the the brave military
Like the the portrayal but honestly the portrayal that Bradley Cooper played in
that movie that movie was so
Simplistic and so it was it was like a run out of a Joseph Campbell
Okay, let me have a perfect heroes journey had I not gone to court
That would have been in the movie
Really? I had to stop it. They were gonna have him punch you in the movie
Well, certainly it's in the book. Holy shit, and I had to stop it because you
know when we were when we were in trial
You know what they tried to do to diminish my role because when they knew they
were gonna lose
Their lawyer got me on the stand and he said mr. Ventura
He said would it surprise you to know that the first
Draft of the movie doesn't have you in it
Trying to prove how insignificant
My would say the first draft of the movie that doesn't mean shit. Well the
first draft
