welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show. It is Monday. It is April Fool's Day Eve, apparently,

which is a perfect segue to my first story on Donald Trump, not joking around, apparently,

talking about running for a third term. As you can see, Adam Kinzinger is with me on the program today,

former congressman. Great to see you again, Adam. It's been far too long. And Michael Cohen's

coming up a little later for Michael Monday. But Adam, let me, let's just jump right into all of this.

Trump says he's, quote, not joking about running for a third term. And NBC reporting, Trump did not

rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment.

He told that Kristen Walker, a lot of people want me to do it.

But I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go.

You know, it's very early in the administration.

And then he said, there are methods with which you could do it.

Adam, you know, there are methods with which you could do it.

Adam, you know, there are lots of methods to do lots of things.

There weren't methods for keeping Donald Trump from running for president again.

That didn't work.

But what are your thoughts on this?

I mean, to me, it's just, you know, it's a perfect segue to April Fool's Day, I feel like. So here we are. By the way, it's cool to see you. It's good to

be with you. It's good to be with you, too. Absolutely. But, yeah, listen, I think I'm so mixed

on this, because first off, if I'm just speaking logically, I think all he's doing is he's trying to maintain his relevancy, right?

Because the second, you know, you get elected, and, you know, I had to deal with this when I decided I wasn't going to run again.

The second you announce you're not running again, you're basically like half as effective, right?

I was lucky in that I was on the committee, and so I continue to do things.
