Now, from New York City to the world, it's Dominic Carter. And we are back live here at the RNC. And I just noticed that this individual was walking by, and all of these folks had stopped me to take a picture with him. And he's the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Mayor Glenn Thomas Jacobs, better known as Glenn Jacobs. He's in the WWE Hall of Fame. Mr. Mayor, thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me on. Man, you're tall, Mr. Mayor, you look like an NFL linebacker. So I was actually going to play for the Bears. Makes sense. In 1991, I was a free agent just coming out of college, but I hurt my knee, and I couldn't pass the physical. But yeah, I was at the Bears training camp. So, Mr. Mayor, the same question that I just put to Larry Elders, what do you think first happens with Biden? Is he in out? That's hard to say. I actually, at this point, think that he's out because Obama came out today questioning his viability as a candidate. So that says a lot. Initially, after the debate, Obama said, "Hey, we all need to rally around Biden." It was kind of funny because they were like, "Everything has a bad debate." And I was like, "Guys, that's the best it gets, okay? He's not going to be better than that." But initially, he, Bill Clinton, were saying that he needs to stay in. Now you have Adam Schiff, even Pelosi, rumors are that she's saying that he needs to step aside. So, I don't know what's going to happen. They have a dilemma on their hands because, I mean, I think, literally, unless he passes away, he can't be removed on some states. The law is going to allow that. So, it's going to be very interesting to see what happens going forward and who would take his place. The worst option to how you just finished answering the question would be Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket. Yeah, and I don't know, as unviable a candidate as he is, I don't know if there's anyone actually more viable. And certainly, you can't pass over the Vice President of the United States. So, I don't know what they're going to do. And not the first black vice president of the United States. Yes, exactly. So, Mr. Mayor, you are a legend. Again, you're in the WWE Hall of Fame. What do you make of what happened? We what, five days removed from what happened in Pennsylvania, the attempted assassination? Your take on all of this? Well, first of all, there's questions that need to be answered. How an individual has a clear shot at the president from 150 yards away. You know, I shoot all the time down in Tennessee. I'm not a great shot. I can hit that shot all day long. A novice can hit that shot, you know. So, how in the world was someone allowed within that perimeter that close to the president? And the fact that it wasn't seen until he had the shot, you know, the snipers didn't have to shoot the guy. But when there's a dude, a suspicious person on the roof, with, we think, a gun, why are you not pulling the president down? I was really proud last night, Senator Marshall Blackburn from Tennessee, along with Senator Brosmo from Wyoming confronted the director of the Secret Service. And of course, she just ran away. So I hope this is not one of those things where we're talking about this now. There's investigation and then we just all kind of forget about this is a big deal. Well, Mr. Mayor and closing here, I don't want to piss you off Mayor Glenn Thomas Kane of the WWE Hall of Fame. Now the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee, Mr. Mayor, it's a great honor to chat with you. Thank you so much.
