Jesse Ventura is considering running for President as an independent. "I have that voice in the back of my head that says to me, 'if not to me, then who?'"

Ventura gave his first American TV interview in 3 years to "The Issue Is: with Elex Michaelson."

He says only a 3rd party candidate could truly unite our polarized country.

When he was elected governor of Minnesota, Ventura said Donald J. Trump reached out to him & they were friends.

Now, he's not a fan of President Trump as commander in chief.

"The first night of boot camp, there's one person who will break down, wet their pants, cry for their mom...that's Donald Trump."

Ventura talked about cannabis, climate change, wrestling, and more in this unedited, in depth interview.

"The Issue Is:" airs Fridays at 10:30pm on Fox 11 Los Angeles, Sundays at 5:30am on KTVU Fox 2, and Sundays at 12:30pm on KCOP.
