WHAT IS CONSPIRACY THEORY

WITH JESSE VENTURA?
Jesse Ventura and a team of expert investigators are on a mission to examine some of the most frightening and mysterious conspiracy allegations of our time. They examine available evidence as well as talking to experts and eyewitnesses to learn more about such topics as global warming, possible 9/11 cover-ups, secret government weapons and apocalyptic prophecies. "This is my personal journey," Ventura says, "to prove that there is more to these stories than you know about."


Jesse Ventura (born James Janos) grew up in idyllic Minneapolis. Upon finishing high-school, he served as a Navy SEAL in the Vietnam War. After his discharge, his interest in college theater led him into the pro wrestling ring, where, using the nickname The Body, he became a worldwide star. When physical illness forced him to retire from the ring, he turned to Hollywood and was featured in numerous action films.

He began his career in politics in 1990, when he defeated the longtime incumbent mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN. Eight years later he ran for governor of Minnesota, and as a third-party candidate he defeated heavily-favored Democratic and Republican opponents. Jesse served one-term but declined to run for reelection.

Ventura is the author of four books, including I Ain't Got Time to Bleed and Don't Start the Revolution Without Me.

Jesse and his wife Terry have been married for three decades. They have two grown children.
