Show Notes
I sat down with Glenn Jacobs—better known to millions as former pro wrestler Kane—to explore his transformation from WWE superstar to liberty-minded mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Glenn explains how backstage politics in pro wrestling compare to the “kayfabe” of American politics, where performance often masks the real alliances and centers of power. We talk about his philosophical journey from political nomad to principled “conservatarian,” his belief in the necessity of masculinity, and his mission to limit government, protect liberty, and hold back the tide of cultural Marxism.
