1. But he doesn't have time to bleed

7. I believe the proper term is

'he ain't got time to bleed'

[arcane1]

2. Add those to the list of things he doesn't know n/t

3. This pro wrestler is a conspiracy theorist, way out of the norm.

Conspiracy is how wrestlers pull fasts ones on the public thinking they are real and not carefully choreographed
shows, akin to a broadway musical, with every single move planned way in advance, and no real pain felt.

Why Ventura is bloviating again, I don't know. Him and Ron/Rand Paul.
and don't forget Donald Trump and Howard Stern.

4. I want him to be smart. But he's not.

6. He's definitely a smart guy.

Just because he believes in a few things outside the norm doesn't make him dumb. He researches facts and comes to his own conclusion just like any smart person would do. If that conclusion is something you don't agree with that doesn't make him not smart, just someone with an opinion different than your own.

8. Actually, he isn't especially smart.

He was the governor of my state for a few years and managed to prove conclusively that he's not really very smart. He's sly and clever and has an enormous talent for self-promotion but he doesn't know much about much - he's like a lot of other publicity-loving politicians and celebrities in that he knows how to stir up controversy (in his case, by positing absurd conspiracy theories). But he is not well-informed or thoughtful; he's just a showman.

9. Good analysis.

He starts out sounding like an independent thinker. But his thinking doesn't lead anywhere.

5. Pakman is doing a lousy job arguing against second amendment protections.

Trying to use the tired old argument about shoulder mounted RPGs- asking Ventura if he supports ownership of these.

And Ventura isn't taking the bait. Then it gets better.

Pakman, "Governor, you're cherry picking only a fact about guns when there are so many other factors in countries that lead to oppression..."

Then, at 11:00, Ventura asks about "the whole destruction of our bill of rights"..

Pakman answers , "Well that's a different discussion, that's a different discussion".

Jesse continues: "when the Wall St. people were protesting, what happened? The government came in with pepper spray and dogs and ran them off.

Jesse Ventura, like him or not, is calling bullshit on government oppression and Pakman is trying to deflect it.
