Navy Seal Sharpshooter Chris Kyle talks to Opie and Anthony about the time he punched Jesse Ventura in the face. RIP Chris Kyle. Jesse Ventura claims this to be not true an sued for defamation. Here's the story:

Chris Kyle was a former United States Navy SEAL and a highly decorated sniper. He gained fame for his military service and was known as one of the most lethal snipers in American military history. Kyle served multiple tours of duty in Iraq and was credited with over 160 confirmed kills as a sniper during his time there. He wrote an autobiography titled "American Sniper," which detailed his experiences in combat and his life as a SEAL.

Jesse Ventura, on the other hand, is a former professional wrestler, actor, and politician. He served as the governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003. The connection between Chris Kyle and Jesse Ventura stems from a lawsuit that Jesse Ventura filed against Chris Kyle's estate.

In his book "American Sniper," Chris Kyle claimed that he had punched a man identified as "Scruff Face" in a bar in 2006. According to Kyle, "Scruff Face" had made derogatory comments about the U.S. military and Navy SEALs, which led to the confrontation. In his book, Kyle did not name Jesse Ventura specifically, but he later confirmed in interviews that "Scruff Face" was indeed Jesse Ventura.

Jesse Ventura, upon learning about the incident and being identified as "Scruff Face," sued Chris Kyle for defamation. Ventura claimed that the story was fabricated and that it damaged his reputation. Tragically, Chris Kyle was killed in 2013, and the lawsuit continued against his estate.

In July 2014, a jury awarded Jesse Ventura $1.8 million in damages in a defamation lawsuit against Chris Kyle's estate. The legal battle between Ventura and the Kyle estate was controversial and garnered significant media attention, as it involved issues of free speech, defamation, and the impact of such claims on a deceased individual's estate.
