It's time again to answer questions from you, my vigilant fans! Got a question for the Governor? Sound off at Ora.tv/OffTheGrid.
ChrisJones fromMI writes: Hello Governor, I listened to your podcast and I don’t know if you’re still considering running for president. But I was wondering if you were, what would your stance be on space exploration and with the growing interest in recent years, the existence of extraterrestrial life?
Jesse Says:
First of all, I think we should be going into space because it’s human. It’s what we do as human beings. We explore. And the minute we stop doing that, we stop existing.
It’s always been what we’re made of. We seek the unknown. We want to learn about it. We want to get smarter. And there are so many things in space that we learn that help us back here on earth. I think continuing to explore space, if we’d stop fighting wars amongst ourselves, we’d have way more money to explore space and find positive things.
But I don’t know about extraterrestrial life. I’ll believe it when I see it!

Bob Hoffman from PA asks: Do you think the Benghazi hearings were a waste of taxpayer money or have a legitimate agenda?
Jesse Says:
I think they're a waste of taxpayers’ money.
If they really want to investigate something, why not investigate the lies, the build up and the manipulated intelligence to the Iraq war. That ended up killing millions, didn’t it?

Daniel West from FL asks: Would you consider running with Jill stein as her vice president or would she consider running with you as president? That would be my personal dream team.
Jesse Says:
Who knows! That’s down the road for me.
For now, I’m going to head off the grid. I’m going to view and observe and I’ll make my decision in March or April.
If I do, it’ll be the libertarians that I will seek out because they have the most valid access. So it’s whomever the libertarians choose in the end.

Lee Jackson from MD writes: I have only one thing on my background report; it's a possession of paraphernalia in 07. I received a $100 fine and now no one will hire me! Will this ever stop haunting me?
Jesse Says:
Yes, if you get a Governor like me in your state.
We expunged a lot of those ridiculous charges and cleared people’s records because of them. We did it on a lot of marijuana cases that happened 20, 25 and 30 years ago during the hippie era.
But that’s what you have to do. You have to go to your elected officials and have them expunge your record. It’s going to take a little bit of work and probably a lot of luck.
