Trump in 2028?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner country. Okay, a lot of news is
being made on Trump's trip to Asia. Look, let me
just say this, He's only nine months into his second term.
He's still got what is it, three years and a
couple months ago, But already now there is huge buzz.

(00:26):
I'm talking story after story after story that maybe, just
maybe President Trump may go for a third term in
twenty twenty eight. And the reason why this has now
become such a massive story is because Steve Bannon, who,

(00:48):
as you know, I follow. I wouldn't say regularly, but
I do follow him. He is a former Trump advisor,
served in Trump's first term for a while, and of
course is a key allaw and supporter of the president. Bannon,
in a recent interview with The Economist magazine, a British
weekly magazine, said that Trump will run in twenty twenty eight.

(01:14):
That in fact, according to Bannon, he needs to run
in twenty twenty eight, that the Trump Maga revolution is
not finished. It's not over. There's a lot more work
to do, and that to really drain the swamp and
break the back of the establishment, Trump has to go

(01:36):
for an unprecedented third term. And what got everybody talking
is that Bannon said. This is what he claimed that
he was talking to people inside the White House. Now
he didn't say Trump, but he said people around Trump,
people inside the White House, and quote unquote, plans are

(01:58):
underway to make that happen.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I e.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
To make him run in twenty twenty eight. And so
that's set off, as you can imagine, a media firestorm,
not just from the corrupt corporate media, but from conservatives,
from independence, from Trump's supporters all across the country. Now

(02:23):
there is a massive buzz. Everybody is talking should Trump
run in twenty twenty eight? Will Trump run in twenty
twenty eight? Can he constitutionally run in twenty twenty eight?
Listen now to President Trump. He's on his way in

(02:44):
this clip. He's landed now in Japan, obviously, and he's
meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister. But on his way
to Japan on Air Force one. Right away, the first
question was about Bannon and whether Trump will seek a
potential third term in twenty twenty eight. Is this something

(03:07):
Trump is willing to do because he'd have to take
it to the Supreme Court? Listen now to get there. Okay,
listen now to Trump's response roll cut one a mic.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Certain Steve Bannon sent in a recent interview in under
Pey plans.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Where used to be able to run and potentially win
the near term in twenty twenty eight? Is that something
you mean willing to challenge of work me.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I haven't really thought about it. We have some very
good people, as you know, but I've had I have
the best ball numbers I've ever had. I mean, I
just saw eight wars and a night is coming. I
believe Brush you you great law.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
So he's asked, you know, there's a lot of talks.
Do you've Bannon brought it up? There's a plan underway
for you to able to run and potentially win a
third term in twenty twenty eight. The audio wasn't the best,
so let me just quickly regurgitate what was said, and
is this something you'd be willing to challenge at the
court to be able to do? When you heard his

(04:14):
response and he says, you know, I really haven't thought
about it. We've got some very good people, and look
I'm you know, I got great poll numbers though, meaning
wink wink, you know, if I wanted to run again,
I think I'd win. And then he's going on about
how you know he's a peacemaker. He's just settled eight wars.
He's looking to settle to Russia Ukraine war. And so

(04:37):
that didn't quite close the door. If you noticed, he
didn't quite close the door. Now, there are several issues
with Trump running in twenty twenty eight. Number one, and
of course, the biggest hurdle is the twenty second Amendment,
which was passed after FDR's death, which term limits a

(05:00):
president to two terms eight years period, full stop. If
you're elected two elected terms. Technically, if you're the vice president,
say the president dies in the middle of the term,
you can serve out that term and then still win
two other terms, but you have to you can only

(05:21):
serve two elected terms. So that's the twenty second Amendment. Now,
it's very hard to get over the twenty second Amendment. Frankly,
I don't see how Trump could do it. Let's just
play it out. Even if he wanted to run in
twenty twenty eight, the twenty second Amendment would be a
massive legal obstacle. Now, what the option is. There's really

(05:46):
two options. Number One, change the constitutional amendment. In other words,
you have to have another constitutional amendment to replace the
twenty second Amendment, which would allow say, a president to
serve three terms. In fact, Congressman Andy Oguls is pushing

(06:09):
this very idea in Congress for Trump. Let a president
have a twelve year the ability to serve up to
twelve years in office, in other words, three terms, not
two terms. But to get that done, you have to
get a super majority in Congress, and you have to
get three quarters of the states to ratify this new amendment,

(06:32):
all in time for twenty twenty eight. It's practically impossible.
There may not even be the support for it at
that super majority level, and there certainly isn't the time
to do it. So it looks like that option is
off the table. The other option is take it to
the Supreme Court. Why take it to the Supreme Court?

(06:56):
Trump can argue, Now, I don't know if he would
win or prove, but the argument he could make is
that because what of what Obama did to him and
Hillary Clinton and a crossfire hurricane and how they illegally
framed him as an agent of Russia in his first
term and then sicked Robert Muller on him, that they

(07:20):
essentially denied him a proper first term, that they deliberately
subverted his first term, undermined his first term, made it
almost impossible to truly have a proper first term in office,
and so that he should be given another crack at
the can because of the illegal, criminal abuse of power

(07:43):
that was perpetrated against him by Obama, by Biden, by
the CIA, by the FBI, by the Deep State, and
by the Democrats. I don't know if the Supreme Court
will say that passes constitution utional muster I'll be honest
with you, but that's clearly another option. Now there is

(08:06):
a third option, that's if Bannon seems to be floating
and many conservatives and Trump supporters are floating, which is
that Trump should run in twenty twenty eight as the
vice presidential candidate. Let's just say to JD. Vance, just

(08:29):
to make a you know, to pick a candidate. So JD.
The heir apparent, runs in twenty twenty eight as the
presidential candidate or nominee for the Republican Party. Trump runs
as his VP. Then when Vance wins, Vance automatically steps
aside and says, I'm making way now for the Vice

(08:52):
President of the United States to now become the president
of the United States and leaves this circumvents the twenty
second Amendment. It gets around that legal obstacle. I doubt it.
I think the Supreme Court is going to say no,

(09:15):
the twenty second Amendment still applies. You were president for
two terms, you were elected for two terms. You can't
be a president for a third term, even if you
run as a vice presidential nominee on a presidential ticket.
So I don't think constitutionally the Supreme Court will allow it. Now,

(09:38):
Trump appears to be shutting down that door for the
vice running as the vice presidential candidate. And I'll play
the cut after the break where he's asked specifically, well,
you know, Bannon is saying you could run his VP,
and then you know your ticket wins, and then if
it's Vance or Rubio or whoever is the presidential candidate

(10:00):
and wins, just they step aside and say, okay, mister Trump,
another four years for you. And Trump said, that's too cute.
I don't like to do it that way. If I'm
gonna do it, I want to do it on my own.
I don't want to be someone's VP. So Trump appeared
to have slammed the door shut on that vice presidential option.

(10:22):
So the question now is this, can Trump run for
a third term? More importantly, I want to ask you,
all of you Trump Maga, Trump supporters, conservatives, should Trump
be able to run for a third term? Would you

(10:43):
like to see him? He would be eighty two years old.
Is he fit enough for the job? Six one seven
two six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number? Okay,
listen now to Trump. Now, he's been trolling the media
and the Democrat now frankly for a few months now.
He's got all these Trump twenty twenty eight caps he's

(11:05):
giving out to people. When he met with Schumer and
Hakim Jeffries just before the government shut down, he had
these Trump twenty twenty eight caps placed all over the
Oval office, off the desk. Schumer and Jeffries, their eyes
were pumping out of their skull when they saw this.
He's a dictator. He's a dictator. So he's been trolling

(11:29):
the Democrats and he's clearly been trolling the media. He's
having some fun. But when Bannon gave that interview saying no, no,
this is more than just trolling. We got a plan.
We're going to get him to run in twenty twenty eight.
He has to run in twenty twenty eight. So he
was asked, and he didn't, as I said, he was asked. Look,

(11:50):
Bannon says, people inside your you know, in your inner circle,
are working with him to clear the way for you
to run for a third term and to have you
win in twenty twenty eight. Now he didn't quite say no,
He just you know, he was coy.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
He says, no, We've got good people, as you know.
And then he's pressed by reporters saying, well, when you
say there were good people that could run in twenty
twenty eight, who do you mean? Well, listen now to
President Trump. Roll cut two, Mike, anybody, anybody? Greatbody be

(12:33):
here or no.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
We have great people. I don't have to get into that.
But we have one of them standing right here. We
have JD Obviously, the vice president is great. I think
Marco is great. I think I'm not sure if anybody
would run against us. I think if they before, the
group would be let's stop what I really do. I
believe that I would. I would love to do it,

(12:57):
and I have my best numbers. Ever, it's right, I
have my best coverage.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Sing you read it. So it's a very interesting answer.
And I apologize. It's Air Force one. I was on
its way to Japan. So the quality of the audio
is not the best. But let me just for those
of you that quite couldn't hear everything, he gave a
very interesting answer. Number one. Standing right behind him was Rubio. Okay,

(13:22):
so Rubio is right behind him, and as the question
is being asked, Rubio is like shaking his head like no, no, please, no, please,
he's going to answer it. Please please don't answer it.
Of course, Trump answers it, and he says no. He goes, look,
we have great people. And then he says, look, I
don't want to get into it, but I have one

(13:43):
of them standing right here, meaning Rubio, Like, in other words,
he'd be a great candidate, you know, presidential candidate in
twenty twenty eight. He then says, well, we have JD.
Obviously JD Vance the vice president. He is great, he says,
Marco is great. Now. He then says, and this is
very interesting. And he's been saying this now for a while.

(14:05):
I've noticed now it's been about a good five six months.
He keeps saying, a Vance Rubio ticket. And he said
it again. He said they would be unstoppable in twenty
twenty eight, Vance obviously as the presidential candidate, Rubio as
his veep, as the vice presidential nominee as the vice

(14:26):
presidential candidate. A Vance Rubio ticket, he says, could destroy
any Democratic ticket, any of it. You put any Democrat
up there, they win. So on the one hand, he's
basically saying, you know, wink wink, I'm going to do
my three years and you know, do his best. I
can obviously finish out my term, and you know, I'm

(14:49):
riding off into the sunset, and I'm passing off to
Baton and my heir of parents are going to be
JD and Rubio and they're going to carry MAGA for
the next eight years after me. So on the one end,
he's basically saying, nah, I'm not gonna run in twenty
twenty eight. But then after he gives that answer, he says,
but he says, he goes, you know, he goes, I

(15:13):
think they'd be unstoppable. I really believe that. Then he says, however,
I would love to do it, meaning I'd love to
run again in twenty twenty eight. I have my best
numbers ever meaning I'm riding very high in the polls.
The opposition is terrible. He goes, you know, I have
my best numbers. So what he's saying is, on the

(15:34):
one hand, he's saying, yeah, no, it's gonna be JD
and Rubio. I think they'd be unstoppable. I'm gonna, you know,
let the hey, I'm gonna stand aside in twenty twenty eight,
and I'm not gonna run. They're gonna run. They're gonna
carry on my legacy, my MAGA revolution. But on the
other hand, he's like, boy, I really would like to run.

(15:55):
Though I got great numbers. I could win. I could
win easy. So notice the doors closed. No it's not closed.
The doors closed, No, it's not closed. Now he's then asked, well,
would you run as the vice presidential candidate? This is

(16:16):
Bannon's theory. Now run as a vice presidential candidate, say
to I don't know, Vance or Rubio, whoever, and then
if they win, they step aside right away, and then
you then elevate yourself to become the next president in
twenty twenty eight, and maybe that can get around the
twenty second amendment. Trump does shut the door on that.

(16:39):
Listen to Trump roll cut three Mike. One theory on.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
How you you might try to search third term is
that you can run us.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
The vice president.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah, i'd be allowed to do that.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Is it the White Houses for the White Hot councils
or your legal posisioning?

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, you'd be allowed to do that, but I would
I would do I think it's it's it's too cute. Yeah,
I would rule that out because it's too cute. I
think the people would like that it's too cute.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's not they would be right. So it's well, so
he's saying that he now Trump is arguing that he
has the right to do that. The reporter says, well,
have you run that by the White House Council you
know your lawyers, and he says no. They say, legally
I could if I wanted to do it, I could
do it. But he goes, I don't want to do that.

(17:26):
I'm not going to do that. It's too cute. So
they say, the reporters right away say so you're ruling
that out. He goes, oh, yeah, no, I'm ruling that
out because it's too cute. I don't think the people,
I e. The voters would like that. It's just too cute.
It's not right. So he's basically saying, I'm not going
to do the ban in theory, I'm not going to
run at somebody's VP, and then you know, right after

(17:49):
the election they step aside and I become the president. No,
if I do run in twenty twenty eight for an historic,
unprecedented third term since the twenty second Amendment was asked
after FDR died, I want to do it on my
own as the flag bearer as the presidential candidate. Six
one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight is

(18:12):
the number. Okay. It's one of the biggest stories, not
just in the country but in the world after Steve
Bannon's explosive interview with The Economist magazine. Not only that
the fact that he's a Trump supporter and a former
advisor top advisor to Trump, but and that he says
Trump should definitely run for a third term in twenty

(18:34):
twenty eight. It's that Bannon then came out and said
in the same interview, I'm talking to people not with Trump,
but people around Trump is inner circle, and we have
a plan and we're going to make it happen. He
can and he will run and win in twenty twenty
eight for a third term. We're gonna get around the

(18:57):
twenty second amendment, and that now has set off an
absolute firestorm. Trump, by the way, I think politically, he's
handling this brilliantly because all of this talk of whether
he'll run again for a third term. Remember, one of
the problems of a president in his second term is

(19:18):
they become quickly a lame duck because the focus is
always well, who's going to be his successor, who's going
to be the one coming after him, Who's you know,
so after a while it's hard to keep the attention
on you, Well, what he's doing now brilliantly by playing
this sort of hamlet, you know, should he should he not?

(19:42):
Will he? Will he not? He loves Jance, JD Vance
and Rubio. It's an unstoppable ticket. But on the other hand, boy,
he'd love to run himself in twenty twenty eight. It
keeps the attention on Trump, not on jd not on Rubio,
not on who is potential successors or heirs could be,

(20:04):
but squarely on Trump. He's the center of the Republican Party,
He's the center of the administration. He's the one that
sets and dictates the tone and the terms of his administration.
And that, by the way, is a deliberate strategy on
his part, and I got to tell you it's a
masterful strategy. So I think politically he's handling this extremely well. Now,

(20:31):
what is fueling a lot of Trump's supporters And I
wouldn't say it's a majority, just from the reaction I'm
getting the text line it's forty five percent want him
to run for a third term. Fifty five percent of
Kooner country don't want him to run for a third term.
So I would say MAGA is split, but that forty

(20:54):
five percent is being fueled by several things. One of
them and I want to play this cut. If you
remember a couple shows ago, I talked about James Carvill,
and Carvell, speaking for many liberals and many Democrats, said
I can't wait to get back to power in twenty

(21:15):
twenty eight because if we take back the White House,
he goes, I swear to you, and I've spoken to
many Democrats and they're telling me the same thing. We
are going to go after quote unquote collaborators of the
Trump administration. We are going to arrest them. We are
going to parade them down Pennsylvania Avenue. We're going to

(21:38):
have people come out and spit on them. Like the
collaborators in France when the Nazis were finally expelled from
France after D Day, how many of those who collaborated
with the Nazis had their hate and their heads shaved
and they were publicly shamed and disgraced. He said, the
exact same thing is going to happen. We're gonna shave

(21:59):
their head, We're gonna parade him, We're gonna throw tomatoes
at him, we're gonna spit at him. We're gonna pursue them.
We're gonna charge them, we're gonna lock them up, we're
gonna harass them. It's gonna be all out law fair.
And so you have a lot of Trump's supporters now

(22:19):
saying he's got a run for a third term because
the Democrats are openly calling for massive retribution against people
who worked for Trump and people who supported Trump. So
listen now to Scott Adams. Now he is a comedian.
Take it with a bit of a grain of salt,

(22:41):
but still he's speaking. He's a conservative comedian, a Trump supporter,
but he is and it's a bit tongue in cheek,
but he is speaking for many in the MAGA movement,
in the America First movement, saying we can't afford not
I have Trump run in twenty twenty eight, Roll cut

(23:03):
sixteen A.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
Mic James Carvel. If that's what you're really promising us,
If you're promising us that you and your clan are
going to come after Trump collaborators and you're not going
to define an advance of what a collaborator is, Well,
you just flipped me to a third term. I'm going
to make the change right now. As long as this

(23:27):
is talking like this, I'm in favor of a third term.
If you can calm down this, I'll be on your side.
No third terms for anybody. That's where I was ten
minutes ago. Now look into this, and I'm saying you, you,
if you're going to give this vague threat that when

(23:48):
Trump leaves, people like me are going to be victimized, Yeah,
we're gonna go for a third term. And that's on you.
That's all on you, because I was absolutely against the
third term until right now.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
So there you go. And it got a visceral reaction
among a lot of people look, let me, let me
be brutally honest with you, like I'm in the confessional.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
And I say this with all due respect to Scott Adams.
They're not going to come after you, but they're gonna
come after people like me. When Carvel talks about quote
unquote collaborators, he's talking about people like me. He's talking
people like Tucker Carlson, he's talking people like Laura Lumer.
He's I mean, I could go on and on. Well,

(24:39):
they may go after him. You're right, he is a
public cartoonist, so they may go after him. But what
I'm saying is, look, I know that Carvil's gonna I
know the Democrats are coming after me. If Trump wins,
sorry if Trump, If if Trump serves out his second
term and the Republicans lose in twenty twenty eight and
the Democrats take back power, there's no question I get

(25:03):
the hate mail. They keep telling me over and over again,
we're coming for you. We're coming for your wife, We're
coming for your children, We're coming for your family. You know.
So you know you Nazis come back. And that's the
least of it, is not calling me a Nazis comeback.
So I know that I'm out on a limb backing Trump.
I know that now. I still my honest opinion. No,

(25:28):
I'm against Trump running for a third term. What I
think he'd be a great president, of course, But number one,
he's still got over three years to go. Like, honestly,
I think we're number one, just we're just jumping the gun.
How's he going to be in three years? It's an exhausting, draining,

(25:49):
grueling job. So it's one thing nine months into his
second term, talk to me when you're eighty two years old,
three years from now. So Number one, I think it's
way too premature, my honest answer. Number two, I'm sorry.
The twenty second Amendment is the twenty second Amendment is

(26:10):
the twenty second Amendment, and it's there for a reason.
FDR was a disaster in his third and fourth term.
And look, yes, it's tempting to say, let's go forward
with Trump, but what happens if the Democrats take back power.
Can you imagine Obama with the third term, I mean

(26:31):
his own third term in other words, or a Democrat,
a very bad Democrat, and to give them twelve consecutive
years six one, seven, two, six, sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, look you know where the Kooner
man stands, and look, let me just say this. I
think politically it's brilliant on his part to keep saying, oh,

(26:53):
I may run, I may not run. I think that's
exactly how you keep all the attention on Trump and
not become a lame duck. So I think it's brilliant.
I love it how he's trolling the Democrats. I love
it how the media and the Democrats are melting down.
I would say, you just keep doing this for years
and years for most of the rest of his second term.

(27:15):
I don't know. I don't know I would if I ran,
I'd win, that's for sure. All my poll numbers are great.
To me. That's you have to keep the Democrats on defense.
I think there's no question now if you're asking me,
Jeff Kooner, in my opinion, no, I don't think he
should run for a third term. Now. Do I think
he would be a great third term president. Probably. I've

(27:38):
never seen a guy his age with that kind of
energy and vigor. I mean, look at him. He's just
flying all over Asia, working eighteen twenty hour days. He's
not practically eighty years old. So if anybody can be
eighty two and have an incredibly successful third term, it's Trump,

(27:59):
There's no question. And I agree with Bannon up to
a point. The Maga revolution has to continue. It can't
just end with Trump, you know, when he finishes his
term in three years. But where I part ways with
Bannon is number one. I'm sorry. I think the twenty
second Amendment is crystal clear. You can change the Constitution.

(28:22):
You can, you know, you can, you know, pass the
Constitutional Amendment. It's very hard. You need two third super
majority in Congress three quarters of the states, and I
don't think there's this support for that, and I don't
even think there's the time for that by twenty twenty eight.

(28:43):
So to me, presidents are term limited. And look, I
can just tell you this. FDR in his third and
fourth terms was such a disaster. He literally we had
a Cold War because FDR he sold out Eastern Europe

(29:04):
to Stalin at Yalta. He was clearly too old, too sick.
He kept it from the American people, and his people
did as well, his handlers and the media who colluded
with him, And it took us forty five years to
undo that mistake. So no, I believe in term limits

(29:25):
for members of Congress. I believe in term limits for senators.
I believe in term limits for judges, and I certainly
believe in term limits for presidents. I support the twenty
second Amendment. And again I say this to everybody, don't
think you'll be in power forever. What happens when the
whip is on the other hand, and you got a

(29:48):
very bad Democrat president. Two terms is a check you
start playing around all maybe three terms or four terms.
The damage that they can do is immeasurable. And this
would be my final argument. Agreed, disagree. JD has been

(30:08):
an incredible vice president. I mean, even Trump himself repeatedly
says the guy's great. I couldn't have asked for more.
And Trump further says, and he's right, A vance Rubio
ticket would be unstoppable. Personally, I prefer advance Tulca Gabbert ticket. Okay,
but let that go. The point being, you've got your

(30:30):
air apparent. You've got, as they say in football, you
know after you know the starting you know the quarterback
is getting a little old, and you've got the next guy.
You've got the next guy. I mean JD is America
First MAGA to his core. He is polished, he's articulate,

(30:51):
he's brilliant. He's going to have tremendous executive experience by
the time twenty twenty eight rolls around. He's been incredible
loyal to Trump. He's been involved in every aspect of
Trump's presidency, domestic, dealing with Congress, foreign affairs, immigration, In
other words, he's got on the job training. He's ready

(31:13):
to go. And look, I prefer Gabbard over Rubio, but
I've got to say, I'm sorry, I have to call
it the way I see it. I think Trump is right.
I think Rubio has been a very effective Secretary of State,
and I think the two of them together would be
a juggernaut. So if you've got you know, you've set

(31:36):
it up now to hand off the baton, so you've
got three years to go, you can do so much more.
And then, to me, that's also the sign of a
great leader is you develop a deep bench and then
it's time to pass it on to your heir apparent,
you know, and they continue your legacy. And so I

(31:59):
think I think all the pieces are there. Why would
you threaten to blow all that up here, say you
run JD, just to play out the scenario, and you
become his vice presidential candidate, which Trump has said he won't.
But let's just play out the scenario. So we're gonna
burn JD like this, like, hey, would you think about it?

(32:20):
From JD's point of view. So I'm in the salt mines,
I'm working insane long days. I'm backing you to the hilt.
I'm gonna run, I'm going to campaign. I'm gonna be
at the top of the ticket, and then I just
say stand aside and you you become president again. And

(32:42):
basically that's it. I'm done. You've thrown me to the curb.
And I don't think the American people would like it.
I don't think even many Republicans and many Trump supporters
would like it. They think, you know, it's unfair to JD.
Because it is unfair to JD. So so to me, No,

(33:02):
he's got three years, three months. There's still a lot
of work for him to do when he's done, and
twenty twenty eight salute. Pass it on to JD and
Rubio or whoever runs with JD on his ticket, and
let's keep this baby going for another eight years. But
that's me I want to hear from you. Six one

(33:23):
seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
this is a very interesting point from Mark on Messenger. Jeff,
it's true. I didn't think of it this way, but
it's true. Jeff. What would the Democrats do if Trump
attempted to run for a third term. You think we're

(33:47):
hearing dictator and king now, Oh my god. The Democrats
will completely lose their minds. And although I would love
to see it, after all, Jeff, if a senator or
a congressman can keep running, why not a president? Plus, Jeff,
I don't think JD would step aside if he won

(34:07):
the presidential election and then make Donald Trump the president.
And I don't think Trump would do that anyway. Well,
he wouldn't. That's why he shot that down, saying, no,
I'm not going to run as somebody's VP and then
ask that person to, you know, hey, go okay, retire,
now go home, and I'm going to take over. He goes,
that's you know, as he put it, that's too cute.

(34:30):
It's not honorable. And I would never do that to
whoever the nominee is, and to the American people. So
if Trump says if I'm going to do it, I'm
going to do it. You know, straight up, I'm running.
Here's why I'm running, And I'm going to take it
to the courts and see if the courts will allow me. Now, personally,
I think that would feed into the narrative that Trump

(34:54):
is a king and a dictator because of the twenty
second Amendment. And if we didn't have a deep bench,
because I understand what Scott Adams is saying, I'm telling you,
believe me, I really understand. I don't want to be
paraded down Pennsylvania Avenue. I don't want to have my
head shaved off. I don't want to be thrown some

(35:15):
dungeon because I dare to support Donald Trump. I don't
want to be spit on and had tomatoes thrown at
me and be hounded and harassed and persecuted and hunted down.
So I get where Scott Adams emotionally is coming from.
But we've got the perfect guy to replace Trump. So

(35:35):
you know, it's if we you know, we got a
very deep bench, so we don't need to do this.
But again that's me I want to hear from you
six one, seven, two, six, six, sixty eight, sixty eight.
Of course you can disagree with the Cooner man. I
want to hear all points of view on this, so
let me ask you. It is the Cooner Country Pole

(35:59):
Question of the Day sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing,
siding and Windows. Should President Trump run for a third
term in twenty twenty eight? A, yes, B no. I

(36:26):
want to hear from you. I want to hear both sides. Frankly,
because MAGA is split on this and Koner Country is split.

You're going to start us off. Jeff, thanks for holding and.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
Welcome Boston's bulldoze.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
How are we doing today?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
How good? Jeff? How are you should Trump?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
When it comes to.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Jeff Trump twenty twenty eight, you like you don't like?

Speaker 4 (37:20):
I think the twenty second Amendment has to be changed
to include how the Congress and the House and the Senate,
they all need term limits.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Enough is enough.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
We need to fix the voting system in this country.
Trump's not going to run.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
He's eighty years old.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
The fact that he's trolling him hasn't triggered like this
is hilarious, much like everything else he does. Obama's basketball
court at four hundred millions okay, funded by the taxpayer,
but yet a ballroom funded by Donald Trump in private
entities is not okay. If Democrats didn't have double standards,
they have no standards at all.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Jeff, I got to ask you, and I agree with you.
I think the Senate, the Congress, they all should be
term limited. I'm with you all the way, Jeff, Jeff,
just to ask you, because of the twenty second Amendment,
I agree with you. But just if you could be
emperor for a day, if you could just snap your
fingers and change the constitution, would you support Trump running

(38:18):
again for a third term, or do you think really
two terms is enough? He would be eighty two. It's
time to pass the baton. It's time to give someone
else a chance.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Two terms is enough. Katie Vance is the air Apparent.
He has my vote already. I'm with you with Chelsey
gabb and you stole my thunder on that one. I
don't like Rubio. I like him. He's doing okay now,
but he changes with the wind. He was in the
Gang of Eight. Enough is enough? I mean, how much
more can these people to Clay war on us play
these games and we just sit back, complacent and deal

(38:53):
with it. The Democrat Party is a domestic terrorist organization,
nothing else, nothing more, nothing less.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Jeff is your last name? Cooner? By any chance, I
swear you're like a brother from another mother. Like, amen, Amen, Amen, Amen,
He's like my lost twin brother or something. Jeff, you
hit the nail right on the head. Please Jeff, call

(39:22):
more often for God's sake, all right, Jeff says, no,
what say you? Six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight. In fact, let me ask you two questions.
Number one, should Trump run for a third term? Would
you like to see him run for a third term?

(39:42):
And there's look, there's many of you that are texting
me yes, I'd love it if you called in. I'd
love to hear your arguments. And number two, do you
want him to run for a third term? That's a
separate issue. You know, you could say, hey, Jeff, I'd
love to keep the gravy train going. You know, he's
the best of the best. When you have the best
of the best, you keep this guy going. But he

(40:03):
just you know, constitutionally he can't. But I'd love to
see it. So should he? And do you want him?
Could he? Can he run for a third term or
do you think he is legally constitutionally prohibited from doing so?
Frank in Hingham, thanks for holding Frank, and welcome.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Hi Jeff, thank you very much for taking my call.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
In Good morning, Good morning, Frank.

Speaker 5 (40:33):
You know what, it's no on all the questions. I
don't think he would he would run again. I don't
think he should even if he could, and he probably could.
You know, the Constitution from what I've seen as a living,
breathing document, it's made to be changed or tweaked here
and there. I guess right, So I mean, I bet

(40:54):
he probably could find the loophole to do so. I
would not vote for him if he for a third term.
And I voted for him twice.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Okay, now why.

Speaker 5 (41:04):
Because I believe that that the two terms limit is enough.
As a matter of fact, every politician should suffer the
same with a two term limit. You know, we don't
need career politicians running the country. And that's the problem
that we have today. As a matter of fact, it's
career politicians. They've made a career out of politics because

(41:26):
they really can't live or survive in the private sector,
you know, And that's you know, we don't need people
like that running the show.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Here.

Speaker 5 (41:37):
Look, look, look what we've got. You know, I think
Donald Trump should spend most of his time promoting jd Vance.
I don't see enough of him. I'd like to see
more of him. I'd like to see him every place
Donald is because I think he could be the air
Parents or he should be. I think he would do

(41:57):
a good job for the country, and I think we
need be promoting him now that it's started Trump's last
term in office.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Frank, let me, by the way, I get you're stealing
my thunder. I gotta tell you, the audience is stealing
my thunder. I am so with you on term limits.
It's not even funny. And I think you made your case.
I thought, very very well, really eloquently. Let me ask
you this, do you think at eighty two, is Trump
just too old for a third term. I understand your

(42:27):
point about you know, two terms is enough. Power corrupts absolute,
power corrupts absolutely, and after a while, two terms is enough,
and you do become a politician after a while. Nobody's
immune to it. And our founding fathers kept telling us
two terms, no more than two terms, you know, for
George Washington, he said two terms is enough. Jefferson, no

(42:47):
more than two terms. Madison, the founder of our constitution.
Two terms. So I'm with you all the way. But
just this is a separate issue. Frank is eighty two
just too old to be president. Not that he's not
a vigorous man, but to be president, the leader of
the free world. I'm just curious. What's your what what
are your thoughts on that.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
I think that's a great question, Jeff and I think
that it's a subjective one because everybody is different at
any two. Joe Biden, no way, the man didn't know
where he was. Donald Trump, if he's got the if
you know he still has everything with him and stuff
like that, which he does today, why not. I mean,

(43:31):
you know, he's he's a man of the world, he's
a man of experience. It wouldn't change anything. You know,
but compare it to Joe Biden. Joe Biden's last year's
absolutely not so, you know, if that makes any sense.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Interesting, Frank, thank you very much for that call. Just
let me use a football analogy. Okay, just and and
get your take on this. Do you remember the last
years of Brady here in England? And he was still
very good, one of the you know, a the greatest
quarterback that ever played to me, like Trump is on

(44:08):
the Virgin now becoming the greatest president we've ever had,
and still at the end of his career, one of
the top five, if not top three, best quarterbacks in
the league. So, in other words, still playing at an
extremely high level. And what did genius Craft do?

Speaker 5 (44:25):
What?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
And by the way, the idiots in sports radio get
him in the sports media, it's time for Brady to go.
We gotta move on. No, no, we're not gonna. They
don't want to pay him fifty million for two years,
which to me was a steal, and after everything he
accomplished for the Patriots and for the fans, like a
bunch of judases, they just cut him loose. Well, Brady

(44:48):
showed he could still perform at an elite level, went
down to Tampa Bay won a Super Bowl, and then
the following year almost took them to the Super Bowl.
They were very close. My point being, you know, if
you've got a Tom Brady, and Trump is the Tom
Brady of politics, one of the best, if not the

(45:10):
best president we've ever had, the way Brady was one
of the best, if not the best quarterback that ever played,
why push him out? What I'm saying is, if we
can get him for another I'm just throwing it out there.
If we can get him for a third term, why
can't JD wait another four years? What I'm saying is,

(45:32):
leg Brady. If the guy can keep winning, let him
keep winning. And that's Bannon's argument. What's say you? I'm
just curious six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight Harry in Maine. Thanks for holding, Harry, and welcome.

(45:53):
That's one Hi, Harry.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
Jeff.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
I'm with you on the twenty second amendment. You know,
the flip could switch the other way and where will
we be then, So I'm definitely with you on that.
I'm a definite no on a third term for President Trump,
and I love Trump. But a couple of points you
gave one of the examples that he could pursue potentially,

(46:17):
and that was to go to petition the Supreme Court
and say that his first term was impeded in such
a way, in such a way that you know, he
basically was robbed of it, and to do that, long
story short, we all know why what he should be doing,
and I think they're starting to do it not fast
enough in my opinion. I know you feel the same

(46:38):
way on this, but he needs to go out after
and prosecute all the people that impeded his first term.
And that's going to take a lot of time, a
lot of litigation. He doesn't need that distraction. But he's
got people that can do it, and that's what he
should be should be doing. But what I would say
is this, you just made a great point on the
Brady analogy, and I say the same thing. Why would

(46:59):
you bring a win combination? Why when you let the
guy continue to roll and run with the football here?
And what I'm saying is Obama did it. Obama just
did it. We had four years of Biden. None of
us I don't think believe that Biden ran the presidency
of the United States of America. Jeff the Grand the

(47:20):
deal leader, as you like to fondly refer to him,
as he had a place right down the street. And
the records show that he visited the White House numerous times.
So in my opinion, what should happen is pass the baton,
give it to Rubio, give it to jd Vance, Telsea Gabbatt,
all good choices. Okay, I think they have strong loyalties

(47:41):
to President Trump. I would consider Trump for a position
in the cabinet, and you know what, I'll tell you this,
that'd probably be problematic because it still has to go
through Congress. So I got one even better. Put him
in a position as a special advisors, someone like a
Steve Miller that doesn't have to go through Congress, and
just keep keep hot seat farm, keep it warm at

(48:02):
the White House, and just have him come in, you know,
as he pleases. He'll be eighty two years old. Let
him enjoy life. But you know what, there's no reason
why he couldn't be even more effective in helping either
jd Vance whoever succeeds him. If Obama could do it
for four years with Biden. All this stuff about the
look and the field of the.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Harry, that's a brilliant point. That's a man. That's a
magnificent point. And look that's what Donald Trump Junior saying.
Remember Dawn was the one who went to his dad
and said, you got to put JD on the ticket.
And Trump is like, really, he goes, oh you got dad,
he's you. He's a junior version of you. I mean
not your personality, but your core convictions. And they have

(48:42):
become now extremely close. JD and Trump very close. And look,
you don't have to even have him at the White House.
I mean just you know, a phone call mar algo.
In other words, JD is going to be relying on
Trump for his entire eight years. Let's say he wins
two terms.
