383 Jesse "The Body" Ventura VS "American Sniper" Chris Kyle

Art and Jacob Do America

This week we bring back a familiar character in the "Art and Jacob Universe. Jesse Ventura. This is his story where he had to defend his reputation and honor against an Iraq War veteran and hero to many...Chris Kyle.

When Chris Kyle wrote his New York Times best selling book "American Sniper" he had a subchapter where he states he punches out a former SEAL who was talking negatively about the Iraq War and that the SEALS 'deserved to lose men'. Kyle then went on a media tour where he revealed that this former SEAL was Jesse Ventura....

Problem was this turned out not to be true and Jesse Ventura sued Kyle for defamation and Undue Enrichment due to Kyle's fabricated story.

Kyle would be murdered in the middle of the life of this case and the lawsuit was then transferred to his estate.

However, the media would spin this as Ventura suing Kyle's grieving wife. But the jury would side with Ventura as it came out that Kyle's Publisher's insurance would cover the lawsuit .

However the damage was done (temporarily) as Ventura was seen as a bully and treasonous by many in the military and conservative America...only to be redeemed years later as many of Chris Kyle's claims in his book would prove to be false.

Listen today to get all the details!
