former governor jesse ventura, you went to china when you were governor.? >> no, not at all. i found china to be very interesting. i found the people over there remarkable. and i think the problem here, pete, is this, when you talk about a superpower, the worst thing, in my opinion, a super power can do is get involved in a bunch of wars around the world. china is not involved in all this stuff. they're taking care of their people, their economy and doing everything they should be doing while we here in the united states are being the world's policemen. we're involved in a war in iraq. we're involved in a war in afghanistan. i'm sure iran may be on the barometer soon enough. but to me, the worst thing you can do as a super power is get yourself involved in wars throughout the world. it will bring you down. and it's bringing us down right now. >> peter, are you afraid of communist china? are they a threat? are these ads just trying to scare people? >> well, i don't think -- i think you heard governor ventura admit actually what's going on here, which is not

i'm joined now by jesse ventura.use i really think that to say muslims killed us on 9/11 is like you could say that about any group to lump an entire group like that -- >> she then went on to have a conversation with jesse ventura. it is interesting -- i was taking a look at this story and saying, can anything be learned from this? maybe it's at least a touchstone moment to talk about how we as an society can have respectful disagreements. talk about 9/11 and some of the concerns people have about the islamic center without grouping muslims in an inappropriate way. i set up a conversation on my facebook and twitter pages. feel free to join the conversation. i'm happy to say, so far we've heard from a couple of hundred people. and there are many among them who are being respectful and trying to have a dialogue about these issues. but a lot of people weighing in with some passion on both sides about what they saw in that debate. some people saying that they think he was really offensive. others saying they think no one

i'm joined by former minnesota governor jesse ventura. i think to say muslims killed us on 9/11 is like -- you could say that about any group, to lump an entire group like that. >> she then went on to have a conversation with, as you saw, jesse ventura. this is one of the top stories on cnn.com. we talk about the visit and you see some of the key video. i have been thinking about this. it is interesting to see these people combat, but it is also potentially a touched upon moment in america for us to have a conversation about how you have respectful disagreements and how you talk about 9/11 and the ground zero mosque without mistakenly or for any reason grouping muslims together into one unit. what we want to do is you to take part in that, respectful conversation. you have my facebook and twitter pages. we're following what you have to say about this. i will be back next hour with some more of the reactions, including reactions from our viewers who can weigh in right now. >> thanks, josh. >> you got it, sure. >>> a recent suicides of stud

it's entertaining. >> joy has jesse ventura. and he is saying the u.s. knew about 9/11 and didn't do anything about it. >> the conspiracy theory. you didn't walk off when he said that, did you? >> i didn't. >> there's the difference. >>> let's go, now, to sam. sam? did he storm off? >> i'm not coming out of my makeup trailer until the weather gets better in new england. that's all i'm saying, robin. i'm sticking to it. i'm not coming out. >> if the weather apologizes. >> okay. i'll come out. we'll show you what it looks like at wmur in new hampshire. there's rain and wind in that area. we think it will be the way the day plays. particularly for northern new england. airport delays, there will be a few. and here's the deal with wind. as long as the wind is steady and constant and in one direction, planes can take off and land and fly in strong winds. because the winds will be gusty, that's going to cause a pitch on some takeoff and landing. so, they space the planes apart. and they try to time the gusting a little bit. that means you'll have airport delay

bob, you and i were talking about this a week ago, 1998, a former wrestling champion, jesse ventura, stunned the world when he became governor of minnesota. that was 12 short years ago. remember that night? everybody was surprised by this. a fearless prediction. there will be surprises in 29 days that no one can forget. can you forget one -- can you predict one of them? >> i've got a couple in mind. one is governor perry of texas will be upset by white, which would be an enormous upset if it were to happen. the other thing that i think will happen is russ feingold, who is behind right now, considerably in the polls, will come back and shock everybody and win that seat back. bill: you're on record. perry is leading in the polls in texas, eight points on average. and remarks do you have a shocker for america that you can predict now? >> since you brought up jesse ventura, that triggered the wrestling in my mind, linda mcmahon in connecticut, i say watch her, bill, i think that she has appeal with women and blue collar voters. bill: that race is getting tighter. do we have the shot of j

. >> reporter: the host continued the debate with jesse ventura. >> it's possible that this type of speechs what's provoking people to say things like that. >> maybe. >> reporter: the feud provided fodder for the tonight show. >> everybody is talking about making the palestinians and israelis sit down and talk in the middle east. we can't get the ladies of the view to sit down and talk with bill o'reilly. you see that? bill o'reilly did something on the view. >> wow. lots and lots of fireworks there. well. >> let's go to the weather board. >> they gowpt and walked out like that. >> well, that's "the view." >> yes we won't comment. >> we have the big weekend coming up the running festival. >> that's fantastic. s. >> and you going downtown watch out for traffic. >> well, cool weather in the morning. chilly especially if you are standing by and watching the race of the volunteers. temperatures in the 40s and in the morning and winds pick up and personally it's great. we run and we know it's good running weather when you get going so we lucked-out. >> if you a volunteer bray fleece. >> yes. >>

on "good morning, america, former governor and pro wrestler jesse ventura was asked whether he wouldupport his old wwe boss, linda mcmahon. well, ventura's answer and the reasoning behind it, such as it was, might surprise you. >> should she be a senator? if you were in connecticut, would you vote for her? >> no, because i don't vote for democrats or republicans. if she ran as an independent she could possibly get my endorsement, but i refuse. >> there's a wide-ranging mind for you. >>> next, does money talk louder than words? remember how carl paladino said this weekend that kids shouldn't be, quote, brainwashed into thinking home homosexuality is acceptable? well, thing is paladino appeared to have no such reservations when he, carl paladino rented out for years buildings that he owns to two gay nightclubs or when his son, william, ran a place called buffalo's gay club of the moment. as the "new york daily news" reported this morning. and remember how paladino reports to his openly gay nephew who works for his campaign as proof that he, carl paladino is not homophobic? well, in act

. >> larry: jesse ventura, new season of "conspiracy theory "premieres friday night. we're going to be back two hours from now with continuing coverage of the chilean mine rescue. here's our anderson cooper. >>> let's take you right to the scene, the preliminary is over, final checks of the rescue pod being done. we're hearing minor damage to the door has been taken care of, or was taken care of. also some adjustments have been made to the wheels on the capsule. it's gone down below right now, the pod now wired for video, for sound, for medical monitoring, as they bring up each of those miners, one by one. live pictures now from the rescue site. each minor is waiting for the first breath of fresh air after being underground. nearly a sea of emergency workers, cameras, dignitaries and, of course, family members, whose only view of their loved ones these last two months has been in grainy video. shortly, and there are no timetables here, we're expecting several rescuers to go down one by one in that capsule and then for the miners to start emerging. the rescue pod right

one, like jesse ventura, appoint a cabinet of people that are there because of their ability to engagewith minnesotans across the political spectrum. i think the most important opportunity for the next governor and the only with the next governor will be successful is if he does not look backwards, if he does not try to forge a consensus only among democrats and republicans, but engages the public, goes over the head of the legislature to talk to the public, and gauge the 70% of minnesotans that have been forced to the sidelines. the consensus there. and i think, frankly, what we see in my two opponents here is senator dayton with no ability to do that and rep emmer not having shown interest in doing that. when you looked at my experience in public service, and community service, i am the one who has shown the ability to reach out to the public, free from special interests and forge a consensus. bring them back to the legislature with the commitment that i will be the lightning rod. i will be the one that provides political cover from republicans, democrats, independents who are willin

of course, later on her own program on hln, joy behar saying why she walked off the set and had jesse venturacker. president obama faced pretty pointed questions from young americans. >> our senior political editor mark preston was watching it all. he's live at the cnnpolitics.com desk. mark, good morning. >> good morning, john. good morning, kiran. president obama again talking to the youth of america. some would say that he's talking about policies, others would say he's campaigning. well, he talked about his economic policies, his health care. he was also asked what some would say is a very difficult question. let's take a listen to his answer. >> i don't think it's a choice. i think that people are born with -- you know, a certain makeup. and we're all children of god. we don't make determinations about who we love. and that's why i think that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is i don't think. wrong. >> of course, that's president obama. he was asked a question of whether he thought people were born gay or whether it is a lifestyle choice. of course, mr. obama's answer, t

jesse ventura was thinking about running again. he would have been a handful.on. she grabbed me by the lapels and said you cannot quit. everything we have worked for, everything we believe will get washed away. nobody else can do this. you've got to get in there and fight. i thought i rocky balboa. i said i will do it and against all odds, i won in 2002 and three months in, after some tough schedules and budgets and be away from a family too much, mary was holding me to account in discussion one night and there was tension in our discussion. i said don't you remember, your the one that told me to do this, remember? there was silence in the room and she said yes, but i never thought you would win. [laughter] she sat i just wanted you to get it out of your system. a couple of years ago, people were writing us off as republicans, they're banished to the wilderness and they are not going to come back. they were not right then and now the people of ohio have seen the leadership that has taken our country and the wrong direction and they are about to score a things u
