I'm surprised that Jesse would waste his time on this hack. Piers probably has an audience of as many as three dozen viewers at any given time. Plus one more when his boyfriend watches.

Did you see how fast that suite got in his ear when they called a comercial break? lol!

About 1,300,000 viewers.

Wow. In all seriousness, the last numbers I saw, Piers had in the low/mid hundred-thousands of viewers. It was my impression that this is considered the same as no viewers.

Looks like you are closer to right:

Last week, "Piers Morgan Tonight" averaged 429,000 total viewers. How bad is that? Well, Morgan's show premiered in January 2011 with 2.1 million. And his predecessor, Larry King, was averaging 657,000 in late 2010 -- a level that was considered unacceptable at the time.

I got my original numbers from here and probably screwed up the math:

The only reason I knew anything about his numbers was because Drudge occasionally has them posted.

[Peace&Freedom]

Wow. In all seriousness, the last numbers I saw, Piers had in the low/mid hundred-thousands of viewers. It was my impression that this is considered the same as no viewers.

That's consistent with the low ratings trends of recent years with CNN, and especially MSNBC. Only FOX (depending on the show) manages to get better numbers with consistency. That's why it's always been more important to seek TV time on broadcast TV, instead of cable. A cable news interview gives you a false sense of the extent of your exposure, because the venue is respectable and looks as professional as on big network TV. Meanwhile, you reached only 5-10% of the TV audience you could have gotten.

[cindy25]

those numbers are only USA viewers, but CNN is broadcast worldwide, and Ventura is there to sell books worldwide

I suppose these are it...

Piers is such a rude asshole. He invites guests to come on his show then resorts to name calling as his main tactic in arguing.

[messana]

The audience really seemed to like Jesse. Piers looked like the idiot in his own show.

[donnay]

I love when Jesse put that Stuffy Brit in his place about 9/11 and Building 7. BBC reporter Jane Stanley reporting back to England that The Salomon Brothers (WTC-7) building collapsed 20 minutes before it really did.

[LibertyEagle]

Who gives a crap about what that pompous Brit ass, Piers Morgan, thinks about OUR guns laws.

I do like it that Ventura doesn't allow people to run over him.


Note: I did think it was interesting that he said there was hardly no vote fraud.

Piers was a complete ass when Ventura was talking about 9/11. It did not look like a coincidence that he chose to go to a break when Ventura was talking about 9/11.

So, your implication is that the BBC and specifically one BBC reporter were in on the 9/11 Conspiracy?

Do you people ever actually think?

We'll never know, which is why you have every reason to be skeptical as am I. However, I think the point you need to focus on is why did BBC report building 7 down when it was still standing in the background?

[KingNothing]

We'll never know, which is why you have every reason to be skeptical as am I. However, I think the point you need to focus on is why did BBC report building 7 down when it was still standing in the background?

"At 4.27pm, a BBC reporter, Greg Barrow, who is in New York, appears on our radio news channel, BBC Radio Five Live, and says: "We are hearing reports from local media that another building may have caught light and is in danger of collapse." He then responds to a follow-up question by saying "I'm not sure if it has yet collapsed but the report we have is talking about Building 7."

At 4.53pm, on the same radio station, the programme's presenter, Fi Glover says "25 minutes ago we had reports from Greg Barrow that another large building has collapsed just over an hour ago."

At 4.54pm, the BBC's domestic television news channel, BBC News 24, reports the same thing. Presenter Gavin Esler says: "We're now being told that yet another enormous building has collapsed... it is the 47-storey Salomon Brothers building."

And then at 4.57pm on BBC World (according to the clips available on the web) presenter Phil Hayton says: "We've got some news just coming in actually that the Salomon brothers building in NY right in the heart of Manhattan has also collapsed."

Because three BBC channels were saying this in quick succession, I am inclined to believe that one or more of the news agencies was reporting this, or at least reporting someone saying this.

At 5pm, News 24 repeated the news in its top-of-the-hour headlines sequence and then at about 5.10pm (again according to the clips on the web), Phil Hayton on BBC World says "More on the latest building collapse in NY - you might have heard I was talking a few moments ago about the Salomon building collapsing and indeed it has... it seems this wasn't the result of a new attack but because the building had been weakened during this morning's attack."

Some of the respondents to my earlier blog have suggested this must mean he had inside knowledge - that not only did he know the building had collapsed, he knew why.

Well in one sense that's true - for about an hour, it had been reported that the building was on fire and in danger of collapse. But he did qualify it by saying "it seems" and once again I think there's a danger of reading too much into what I believe was a presenter merely summarising what everyone had been saying during the previous hour.

Of course, with hindsight we now know that our live shot showed the building still standing in the background. But again I point to that confusing and chaotic situation on the ground - the CNN reporter who had talked about the building "either collapsed or is collapsing" also had it clearly in shot behind him, but he acknowledged he couldn't see very clearly from where he was standing. As we know, the building did collapse at 5.20pm, with the first pictures of that being broadcast on News 24 at about 5.35pm."

[DylanWaco]

The focus on WTC 7 is a waste of time. The far more interesting issues involve the hijackers themselves and the alleged "failure of intelligence" that looks increasingly like it was a failure on purpose. Kevin Fenton's book Disconnecting The Dots is where 9/11 skeptics should be looking in debates like this.

[matt0611]

Anyone watch it all? Is it worth watching?

[Bruno]

Piers looked like the idiot in his own show.

You must not watch very often, and good for you is that is the case. That is the norm. :)

[millercards]

I just watched it all.

Yes, it's worth watching.

[Root]

Anyone watch it all? Is it worth watching?
I watched all 3 tubes. I always enjoy Jesse telling it like it is.

[StudentForPaul08]

I disagree with all the Republican bashing Jesse did. Don't get me wrong, they are at fault. I wish he would call out the Democrats as well. He also blamed Bush for all the economic woes happening now. Though it is partially Bush's fault I feel like he does not understand that it is mostly the Federal Reserves fault. Then the two parties ganged up to run up the debt and steal our liberty. Its not nearly as much about Bush as he makes it. Bush was the figurehead.

[Jared Thrasher]

A little off subject - but anyone else think that Jesse has the perfect profile to be on the obverse side of a coin? He reminds me a little bit of George Washington...

JESSE VENTURA EXPOSES 9/11 BBC BUILDING 7 REPORT, PIERS MORGAN CENSORS HIM

Oh yeah I have been thinking about these issues for years (11 years to be exact)...here is another example of our own news service (CNN's Aaron Brown) reporting (4:10 pm) nearly an hour before WTC-7 collapsed (It collapsed at 5:20 pm). Oh and it is interesting to note, that BBC just happened to lose those tapes they said, but thankfully we have good patriots who immediately knew something was wrong and downloaded the interview that Jane Standley did. Again it is all well documented by patriots that caught them in the act of their scripted scenarios.

Now to the CNN narration of what was happening. . .

Aaron Brown: "We are getting information now that one of the other buildings in the WTC, WTC-7 is on fire and has either collapsed or is collapsing...)" As the camera starts panning to the buildings looking straight at WTC-7 in the background of their live video. They set the narrative that fires is the reason for it's collapse. Most people wouldn't have known WTC-7 if it collapsed on them, that's why hardly anyone questioned it. Furthermore, if you talk to people about the events of 9/11, most people (that I have talked to) didn't even know a third building collapsed on that fateful day.

That was Comedian/actor and friend Richard Belzer (http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2012/08/14/law--orders-richard-belzer-jesse-ventura-allege-americas-most-famous-assassinations-were-cover-ups) who jumped on the stage--Belzer is definitely wide awake.

[Carlybee]

Piers is such a pompous twit. At least Larry King was mostly polite.

Are you 100% sure of that?

The Brit says we need to do something about our gun laws. Now that is funny.

I agree, I feel like it would have had a greater impact if he had raked the beloved Bill Clinton over the coals for his role in our mess. Going after the Bush administration makes no impact anymore. And I wish he would have gone into the Federal Reserve as well.

[AlexAmore]

Just caught Jesse Ventura on Piers Morgan. They had a repeat of it on CNN. Does this shock anyone else?

Anyway who in their right mind would have ever predicted, thought, or assumed building 7 was in danger of collapsing? A fire-proofed steel structured building doesn't just collapse from fire never mind in a free-fall. It never has happened...so why say "collapse"? That implies a lot of things, none of which are "fires".
