Well, he's running. That's what reports are saying, and now we've got a clearer picture of what
2028 could potentially look like. And I got to say, too, that J.D. Vance has, he was MIA.
J.D. Vance, M.A. He wasn't even that picture where they got Maduro and they tried to do that
Obama, that famous picture of Obama in the Situation Room. John F.in tried to recreate that at
Marlaga looks not great. Looks cheap.
Who's not there? J.D. Vance. That's because Jady Vance is being hung up to dry. He doesn't even realize it.
He doesn't realize it because Donald Trump, one thing he doesn't want is a successor. That's for sure.
And so 2028 is all about the fact that Jady Vance is the one having to answer for stuff like what happened to Renee Good.
And I think personally, Donald Trump said him up to lose.
She tried to run somebody over with her car and the guy defended himself when that happened.
Next question.
I think these clips are going to haunt this out of shape, weird-looking man for years to come.
Thanks for taking my question.
So the head of Minnesota's investigations agency says that the U.S. Attorney's Office has essentially cut off the state investigations agencies access to the investigation.
What is the precedent for that?
And why shouldn't the Minnesota officials on the ground have access and evidence to work on this investigation?
First of all, I wish the state officials in Minnesota would investigate why you have so many people who are using their vehicles and other means to actually interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation.
The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action.
That's a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job.
The idea that Tim Walz and a bunch of radicals in Minneapolis are going to go after and make this guy's life miserable because he was doing the job that he was asking.
to do is preposterous.
It's not.
And I think, I mean, I'm telling you, these clips are going to haunt J.D. Vance because
J.D. Vance is going to be asked repeatedly, you think ICE agents have absolute immunity?
That's what he's going to, that's what he's going to ask.
Like, in all the bad things that ICE is going to do from now until 2028, J.D. Vance has
to own that and defend it. Not great. But I think that's why Donald Trump had him come out here for
this rather than anywhere else because he knows that JD Vance isn't going to be able to survive it.
Now, when it comes to 2028 too, there's all this talk about Donald Trump running, Donald Trump
running. Even Steve Bannon has said it. Steve Bannon said Donald Trump's going to run in 2028.
He's damn right. It's Trump 28. Okay. This is a, he looks unhealthy. This is the person who thinks
that the white race is the superior race. Why is it always people who look like this? He looks
like a germ. All right. Well, Kai Trump was also asked about that and she said something a little
different. Have you seen the polymarket on whether or not your grandpa would run for a third term?
I think maybe a 4%? Presidential election winner for 2028. Your grandpa is at 4.1% says the polymarket.
Do you think that's possible? I don't, he's not running a third term. He's not. He's said it so many times.
I want to start. I actually think this is smart. I should start having politics and puppies. That
might make this a little bit easier. There was just a puppy right here the whole time. Regardless,
she, Kai Trump, there you go. She spilled the beans. He's not running. Now, that makes you wonder,
well, then why is Steve Bannon, Steve Bannon, who looks like the bubonic plague in human form?
Why does he think that Donald Trump is going to run? Well, we had the reporting that says that actually,
what's going on is Steve Bannon himself is going to run.
Scoop in Axios.
Bannon quietly making moves for 2028 run.
Here is a bit of the reporting.
Former Trump White House advisor, Steve Bannon is laying the groundwork for a 2028 run for president,
two people familiar with his thinking tell Axios.
Do you think one of those people is Steve Bannon? I do.
Why it matters, the Maga Godfather isn't serious about becoming president.
That's not the point.
told his allies, he wants to shape the debate and pressure Republican canons to embrace,
quote, an American first agenda, including a non-intervention of its foreign policy,
economic populism, and opposition to big tech. Honestly, those final two, the Dems need to
own. We need to own economic populism and opposition to big tech. We have to be that party.
We can't let the Republicans be that. That should be us. Also, I kind of fuck with this idea
of running not to win.
I've always said that I don't want to,
like I would love to run for office,
but I don't want to win.
But I would love to run for office
and just get ideas out there
that I think are important.
But I actually don't think I'd be a good person
in office, but I think running,
I actually think more people should run
even if they don't think they can win.
I think it would make the discourse a little bit better.
Matt Gates said that the banning campaign
will merge the foreign policy of Rand Paul
with the tax policy of Elizabeth Warren.
That sounds interesting.
All right.
Bannon denied the run to Axios,
calling the idea of bullshit and saying he's been focused on something else for 2028,
supporting a third term from President Trump,
despite the Constitution's two-term limit.
Quote, we don't have a country.
If we don't get every ounce of fight and energy from President Trump,
you can drive a Mack truck through the 22nd Amendment,
and that's exactly what I intended you in order to save our country.
Donald Trump, we showed yesterday,
Donald Trump was getting up and just walking around
in the middle of meetings.
That man is not long for the world.
I don't even think we got to worry about the 22nd Amendment.
I think we just got to worry about the human condition.
We just got to think about mother nature
is going to do her job.
Now, behind the scenes,
despite Bannon saying that,
he has actually taken several steps
to prepare a possible campaign
Two sources familiar with the thinking saying he has expressed interest in setting up a pack that could spend money in midterm races and he has talked with allies to see who might work for him.
Bannon appeared at events last year hosted by Colorado and Georgia Republican parties, an indication he's looking to curry favor with local organizers who play a role in primaries.
And Bannon associates familiar with his private comments on 2028 election and vision a non-traditional campaign run from his Capitol Hill podcast studio.
without rallies in early primary states such as Iowa and New Hampshire.
One ban on ally said the biggest tell he's weighing a run is his cheerleading for a third
Trump term, quote, when Trump doesn't end up running, however reluctantly say he must carry
the mantle the ally predicted.
Constitutional scholars overwhelmingly say Trump is barred from running for a third term.
The president himself has said it's pretty clear he's not allowed to.
That honestly, maybe is this good news?
Mark? Could this be good news? Is this good news? I don't believe it. I just don't, I personally don't
believe that Donald Trump's going to leave. I just, can you imagine Donald Trump being like,
well, that's it. Constitution says, that's it. Two terms. That's all I can do. Bye. I don't,
see it. I don't see it. I, I just see a world in which Donald Trump's like, actually, I'm
staying in here and try to tell me otherwise. The Epstein files, a law was passed. Epstein
files still aren't released. Okay? I just don't see it. I don't see it. Well, thank you,
but I suppose we will see. We will see.
