sitting down with jesse ventura former governor of minnesota a former navy seal former professional wrestler oxer and bestselling author it's very nice to see you back in our new york studios great to be here now jesse you recently announced that you are considering participating in the presidential race in the year twenty sixteen as an independent candidate because of course you believe that the two party system was crippled and corrupt so what better timing than now why not do it this time around well because it would take too long you have to build for this she the difficult thing if i if i do it i will be with no party it will be just. running for president if i do it well that requires me to get go out get ballot access in all fifty states you can't do that overnight and it costs a lot of money that's why i've made the statement it will return require a grassroots movement of people in every state to go out and do what it takes to

fulfill to get me ballot access that i can be on the ballot and then there's a second requirement i have to be guaranteed i've got to be in the debates because if you're not in the debate you can't win and i do not run for political office just to make a statement when i run i run to win now your new book of course democrats and very broadly focuses on the party's being gang like. fighting for power just for the sake of having power and you talk a lot about the need to eradicate corporations from politics and my question to you i guess is how can this realistically be done in a country where this has been the system for ever and you yourself compare politicians to you know possibly wearing now scar racing suits because they have so much support from corporations in their first nascar race it's like if you look at jimmie johnson the great race he's got patches all over the tells who is sponsors are well if we require them to. where that then we as voters will know who owns

them there's so much corruption it won't take long it just recently happened before it was against the law for a corporation to contribute to a political party until the supreme court of our land made that what i call disastrous ruling where they said a corporation has the same rights as an individual and that money is free speech while i'm waiting for the next guy to rob the bank and use that as his defense so that just recently happened what we need to do is reverse that we have to overturn the supreme court's ruling on those two issues and there is a movement to do that the only way it can be done is to amend the constitution to specifically state corporations do not have the same rights as individuals and money is not free speech not to me if one of the curious details about corporations in power is that we're seeing the same companies investing in both parties and some

people say it's a win win situation for them but in reality others say well listen actually this is a lot more like betting on both red and black in roulette because you know either way you lose so what's the point what if they do or you don't lose because one of them is going to be the president and now you own money that you invested in the other well that's nothing to do you know what we pointed out in the book in the book these major corporations spend more money on lobbyist and what they pay in taxes and that's a fact they spend more on lobbyists than what they pay in taxes let me repeat that you don't find that astounding and why would they do that so they don't have to pay taxes and so i mean like g.e. two years ago they made fourteen billion dollars not only did they not pay taxes they got subsidies from the government. that's obscene what do you think about the election campaign this time around i mean obviously critics are calling it

a reality show where seeing obama and romney just do you think there's ever really been a bigger disconnect between what we're seeing in the debate in the debates and in the campaign. what real americans are actually in need of right now i think what you're seeing is them finally rising up to the level of professional wrestling and i say rising up to it because in pro wrestling in front of the cameras we all hate each other behind the scenes it's a business. and that's the same way it is for them it's a sham in front of the care moves in the public they hate each other and they're on different sides of the fences behind the scenes they're going out to dinner together they're ensuring that there are two party dictatorship maintains its power no difference between these two don't kid yourself now the september marks the one year anniversary of the occupy wall street movement which you support the ideas of

what role do you think if any will this movement have played in the united states in the long run do you think in a decade from now people will look back and say this really was a movement that changed the national dialogue. because they've disappeared temporarily they need to come back where are they they need to continue they need to keep the fired up now they've disappeared a decade from now no one's going to remember the occupy wall street movement not unless it's victorious or does something who hasn't done that yet how can a movement like that with a curious what do they need to do by changing the country they need to continue to stay at the parks they need to continue to get arrested they need to continue to be vigilant how do you think we stop the vietnam war had to be the turning point of the vietnam war many people say it was the sixty eight ted offensive that was huge but. i don't believe that was the real turning point for america i believe the

turning point of the vietnam war was when the the four students were killed that can state because all of a sudden the public the general public went back and said wait a minute we're even killing people in our own country now because of this war i hate to say it but it's going to require something of that magnitude for the wall street movement to truly have an impact and get to the psyche of mainstream america i would ask about the way the us treats elections abroad while actually really drowning an electoral process flaws here at home why this double standard. there's always a double standard there was a double standard on the wall street protests while we're busy pepper spraying them and running them off with dogs were heralding the protests over in the middle east all whoa this lovely go go go we're like cheerleaders over there while at the same time here we're squashing down our own protesters at the height of hypoxia.

elections the same way we want to bring democracy all over the world and we don't even have it here anymore because the two gangs pick your president mitt romney was picked four years ago you know how i know that he wasn't picked at the convention they knew four years ago you know i know that because when obama won right after obama won you started seeing these mass advertisements on t.v. about mormons do you recall those where they'd show a person who was a fire member a teacher and they'd show all these attributes of how wonderful they were and member the person would look at the camera in the end and say and i'm a mormon well they were preparing us for you think considering they say started preparing for years ago he's going to be the next us president no i am why so much effort for somebody because he's the republicans. may man he's the one on the pedestal right now john mccain was four years ago. george w.

bush was in the eight years prior to that you know if i'm interesting about the republican convention they did mention one word about bush and cheney how do you ignore a president vice president who a mere three and a half years ago served for eight years it's like oh boy you know why they don't want to identify with the true culprits who killed our economy there is selling the people now saying we're going to fix the economy this is the same party that ruined it after all from zero zero to zero six bush not only was in the white house he had a republican house and a republican senate so he had been for you want to do rubber stamped the republicans caused this economy to fail barack obama heritage you're obviously an advocate for eradicating the institution of the electoral college all night it states rights because every vote has to count this is a system that's not a fight anywhere else in the world not applied to any other election in the united

states or in that moment for doug or how can this be done easily or a requirement in chairs because the democrats republicans they're obviously not interested in changing that system of the people as desired and that the people after the mandal there are a lot of things that people demand that they don't think well they have to be persistent and truly demanded they have to threaten to vote amano office you've got to threaten if you don't change the electoral college you won't be sitting there next year that's the only way they respond it's the threat that they could lose their job the american people could really get worked up enough about the electoral college when they have different other things going on hold to deal with difficult but you know the electoral college was good when they put it in you know why you had to travel by horseback to washington that's why it was there it's the only election like that in this country i've been a mayor. when you get the most votes wins governor congress just see the syrian

crisis the conflict has been gripping really the world for over a year and a half now what kind of role if any should the united states be playing in this in this whole conflict and if you were president what would you go on with. their business what about the whole idea of the united states trying to help out the syrian people who have the right to stand up against their government so they're the syrian people so as u.s. president you would have all of that on my business in a free don't. they didn't know for me. i did nor them if they don't wipe me i don't hang out with people who don't like me who made the world's policeman in fact i could step farther if i were president of every every foreign military base the united states has would be closed and bring our men and women whole we have the technology to do with our military we can destroy anyone in the world at any moment what do we need bases in occupy i mean we've got multiple bases in japan korea

germany have those wars been over for sixty years why are we there do you think the same rules apply to no matter what kind of geopolitical interests the united states has with a country in crisis doesn't apply to every country do not get involved in their will or no i would get involved with another country's affairs only or for that country specifically. please come and help us i want to ask you about julian assange do you think it's been way overblown by the united states in the west and the whole story of his attempts of political asylum to ecuador how do you what's your take on this whole case. where i want to know what they know and i have every right to know what my government does you want to know why. whose money did they use mine. taxes and as a taxpayer i have every right to know what they're spending about every right to

think you'll find out oh absolutely not. unless i become president. all right jesse ventura thank you so much for being with us thank you appreciate it's always a pleasure. to welcome to. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. a sacred place rising out of the waters of the lake the law ministry is home to one hundred fifty orthodox monks mostly younger than thirty five and they've come from many different places and backgrounds to live in isolation here spiritual life it

takes up many hours on the road to becoming a monk requires both hard work and religious telly cation. alexei wants to become and has cattle as part of his preparation. however these beasts get a musical company. they can remember sound sequences you know they want to the sound signals the fruits the herders had in the old days they needed them it wasn't just a fun thing but these meadows didn't come naturally the current decades of composting to bring the soil up to farming standard. this island is mostly rock. the soil here is very thin and the monks can't just get more of it because they're surrounded by the lake so they have to work very hard in order to provide whatever food they need. they grow their own crops their own fish and repair their own churches. but the central purpose of the land has always been religious the main

ministry surrounded by smaller priories spread through the many archipelago the monks know their existence is a little different from that of other ministries here we. do have. some times as well as. the way. tranquilly to use. the. combination of high religion and down to earth hard work that motivates these.

for eighty a superb confidence boost then for the reigning champion. finally russia europe's highest martin. just become a slightly more attractive proposition for climbers a new rescue cabin has been built in order to help stranded mountaineers michael hit the heights for us. some would argue it's technically not in europe but at five thousand six hundred forty two meters russia's mt elbrus is considered by many to be europe's highest mountain with such a backyard it's no wonder russians were always avid mountain climbers doing soviet times mountain climbing was actively encouraged and mt elbrus was the prize attraction but there's a reason why mountain climbing is considered an extreme sport hundreds of people freeze or plummet to their death every year mainly because they are ill prepared vised on how to tackle the climb mount elbrus is no exception with up to ten climbers dying annually which is why i consulted effort was made to install the

rescue cabin at the mountain summit. we constantly have to rescue people from. around one hundred thousand mountain climbers from all over visit it every year and every year people die from bad weather losing their way so to have a rescue cabin or a hand is a really important for the purpose of the entire project was a lengthy one because it was a voluntary effort i.e. no sponsors or government grants were used and it's also an enormously difficult task from an engineering point of view there are almost no analogs it's the highest level for construction in europe and the second highest in the world and to build something like this is always a huge ordeal. in twenty ten the group managed to complete a different shelter which was technically the first but it was blown away by a particularly bad blizzard so when two mountain climbers perished in april of twenty twelve with one of the bodies never recovered russia's mountain climbing federation made the construction of another rescue cabinet one of its top

priorities well i've made it to the top of the mini summit of mount elbrus it's a fantastic day absolutely no wind and sun is shining but that's a rarity usually he can be very dangerous with wind snow and hail storms causing deaths to mountain climbers that have been up here in the past but now with this newly built cabin. there is hope that some. these deaths can be prevented and that they can stay the night here and call for help when needed let's go have a quick look inside as you can see it's not exactly a five star hotel but it will hopefully save many lives indeed the interior doesn't leave much to the imagination with only two horizontal planks the beds and a small table in between but when your life is on the line surely i mean it's he's would be the last thing on your mind as usual sort of a story was the cabin was built for emergencies only not for a fool overnight stay yeah but it allows rescuers to come to

a specific point rather than having to search large areas and in turn it helps the mountain climbers to well survive climbers aside russia's rescue service the m chairs or the ministry for emergency situations are only too thankful for such installations too often they return from a rescue mission with a body bag but the new cabin has already come to the rescue of two german mountain climbers that hopefully will assist many others in the future for the commercial way of getting down for mountain climbers is to work down the first i'm going to take the easy route i think in the helicopter that's the army back down to the base of mount elbrus this is michael that's a good reporting from the top of mt albert. and he did make it back safely sport again in four hours time. like millions of americans i've lost thousands of dollars in retirement funds and i

haven't had as bad as many it's not just about them it's about me to. me ma'am. and say. jeez. need it. now. since this is my film i get the last word this financial crisis will not be turned off like a light sleep. mission
