Kane Talks The Toxic World Of Politics, Vince McMahon & The Potential Of Being A Running Mate With The Rock

Knox County mayor hopeful Kane sat down with William Steakin of IJR and “The Big Red Machine” had a lot to say about the country’s current political landscape, his differences with Donald Trump, the support he received from the McMahons, and if he’d ever consider running for office with The Rock.

On the current world of politics and Donald Trump:

“[Trump] and I definitely have different personalities,” he told IJR, noting that while the president is combative, he’s more solution-oriented and willing to work things out. “I try to be a unifier, but the environment is literally toxic,” he said.

“The problem with politics, the problem with government, is there’s just way too much power and way too much money. And everybody’s vying for it,” Jacobs said. “And Washington, D.C., is definitely reflective of that.”

“It just hit me as I was on an exercise bike,” Jacobs said. “I actually prayed and I said, ”God, whatever happens in the election is what’s going to happen. Just don’t ever let me become one of them.”

On the support from Vince McMahon:

“Vince is one of the first people that I talked to because we have a good personal relationship, and I needed his support just as a friend,” Jacobs said.

“Vince has got a vision. From the very beginning. And you just can’t discount that. And that’s why I think so many organizations fail, is their leader doesn’t have a vision of where he’s going to go. And Vince has always had that. He has that pigheaded determination,” Jacobs said. “And all that stuff has helped me with my business and, really, in my personal life.”

On if he ever envisions running for office with The Rock:

“You ain’t never going to see a Kane part of that, I’ll tell you that right now.”
