I'd watch it if he had Gene Okerlund as a co-host. Jesse loses credibility when he doesn't preface his comments with "let me tell you something, Mean Gene."
9/11
Jesse Ventura steps into America’s most controversial conspiracy by challenging the 9/11 Commission report and considering evidence that the September 11th attacks were an inside job. At the urging of victims’ families, he finds witnesses who claim the towers were brought down by revolutionary explosives that were placed in plain sight of everyone, but no one knew what they were. Ventura also hears from those who claim the missing black box flight recorders were actually recovered. And he is told a shocking story about who may have been in the cockpits before the jets took off.
Featured Experts and Eyewitnesses: William Rodriguez , former World Trade Center janitor who said he felt bombs exploding from below seconds before the plane hit building one; physicist Steven Jones, who says he found evidence of bomb material (thermite) in the residue from Ground Zero; explosives expert Van Romero, who performed a test purported to show that liquid thermite can make steel girders burn hotter and faster; demolition expert Brent Blanchard, who says that no inspection for explosive materials was done at the scene; former Air Force pilot Jeff Dahlstrom, who is convinced that that 9/11 was a “false flag” operation carried out to push the country into war; Mike Bellone, a recovery worker at Ground Zero who says that he saw airline flight recorders recovered at the scene; Dale Lindorff who says that the recorders were recovered, inspected and turned over to the FBI; Dale Leppard, a former head of the Airline Pilots Association who insists recorders are always found; and former FBI investigator Jack Cloonan, who disputes claims the recorders were found.

Well, he does misrepresent himself somewhat as a SEAL.
(He was UDT, which is still entitled to the Trident. UDT's were mostly tasked with what the traditional "frogmen" role was - covert insertion and underwater demolition. That mission was rolled into the SEAL program some time ago, but back when Ventura was in they were two seperate entities. My guess is that he refers to himself as a SEAL to cash in on the popular culture value that goes along with it.)
The sad thing is, UDT's were some badass mo-fos. I don't know why he feels he has to claim more than what he was, which was worthy of anyone's respect.
Notice how often he covers himself in civilian clothes prominently featuring the trident, as well. Not many ex-SEALs go around flashing the trident.
What the hell is TruTV?
The SEALs don't have a problem with it, so I give Jesse a pass there.
There's some split in the community from what I've been able to gather. Some of them think it's good publicity, some of them think he's misrepresenting himself, and most of them think he's a loony old bastard and don't give it a second thought.

Thanks for the welcome and google hit SezMe. I've been keeping track here on JREF for a while now, just haven't posted anything. I may be new to posting here, but have been reasearching 9/11 for two years now so conspiracy theorists better not take me lightly. I'm happy to be among friends.
