00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 6: She was a wonderful person from Cecilia, anyone from Cecilia,

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 6: anyone near there.

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, wonderful people.

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 6: And so we are remembering her life this last weekend.

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 6: And as I was planning this, a friend of mine

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 6: called me and said, Hey, Charlie, I know that you're

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 6: very passionate about Kentucky. And I've got to know Nate

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 6: really well over the last couple of a couple of months.

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 6: And he said, is there any way you'd want to

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 6: do an event? I said, the only way I would

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 6: do the event is if I could speak about making

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 6: sure we get a better center to than Mitch McConnell

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 6: in the state of Kentucky. That's the only only way

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 6: that I'm speaking. And he said, I got just the

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 6: event for you. And and so look, everybody, it's an

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 6: honor to be here. As you know, I travel the country.

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 6: I'll go to college campuses so you guys don't have

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 6: to and I take the goofiest questions imaginable. And the

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: new battleground for the future of our country is happening

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 6: on college campuses. And as you know, President Donald Trump

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 6: won the youth vote in so many states across the country.

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 6: We are seeing a resurgence of young people across the country.

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 6: In fact, young men are the most conservative they have

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 6: been in over fifty years in this country.

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: And it's not slowing down.

45
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 6: And what a week President Trump has had this last week.

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 6: Not only did he operate with incredible precision in Iran,

47
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 6: but we had no nukes for Iran, no endless wars,

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 6: no troops on the ground, no US troops killed, and

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 6: we were able to end the war in twelve days.

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 6: Albeit the next day NATO calls Trump Daddy, I mean,

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 6: that's as good as it gets. Right. Europe comes and

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 6: they say, well, you know, when dadd he speaks, I mean,

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 6: not only that, we got an amazing victory at the

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 6: Supreme Court, no more nationwide injunctions getting in the way

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 6: of our agenda.

56
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: And you look at victory after victory.

57
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 6: And so he ended a war in Africa, if you

58
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 6: guys know this, just in his free time. He ended

59
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: a war between Congo and Rwanda. And everybody, you understand this.

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 6: Now that the courts are no longer an option, we

61
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 6: must be honest with ourselves because look, we don't like

62
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 6: the Democrats.

63
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: We know that.

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 6: But that's nothing new that you've heard here in this state.

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 6: You know that the Democrats don't reflect your values like

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 6: Zooran Mamdani in New York does not relect reflect He

67
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 6: doesn't reflect your values. What terrible, right, But let's be honest, everybody,

68
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 6: Kentucky deserves better in the US Senate than what you

69
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 6: have been getting. The last ten years and being at

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 6: my aunt's memorial yesterday, I was just spending time with

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 6: people to the earth, people that serve in their military.

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 6: If you serve in their military, by the way, raise

73
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 6: your hand, thank you for your service to our Look

74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 6: at that.

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank

76
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: you for your dedication.

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 6: You go to church, you value your community, and you

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 6: trust your politicians to fight as hard as you work

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 6: for your family.

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Every single day.

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 6: And unfortunately, there's been a pattern of telling you one

82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: thing when they run for office and something completely different when.

83
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: They go to Washington, DC.

84
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 6: By the way, that's why we're all here at ten

85
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: am on a Monday morning because a decade ago, a

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 6: man with no political background, a man that no one

87
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 6: thought could be president, went down a golden escalator and

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 6: he changed American politics for good. And this part of

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 6: the world was where he spoke to He said, you

90
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 6: know what, it's dumb that we ship all of our

91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 6: manufacturing jobs overseas.

92
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: We're not going to do that anymore.

93
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 6: In fact, we're going to close our border and we're

94
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 6: gonna do mass deportations, so the American people come first,

95
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 6: not foreigners. And for so long we have heard the

96
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 6: opposite from our leaders and President Trump BOYD, does he

97
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 6: have the wounds to show it, literally the wounds to

98
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 6: show it. And I find so much inspiration in this man.

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 6: And people say, oh, you know, he's not perfect, like

100
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 6: no one is perfect. Only Jesus Christ's perfect. We know that,

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 6: and one day we'll be able to see what perfection

102
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: looks like. But I'll tell you what. He is courageous,

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 6: he's patriotic, he is relentless for the nation. And I'll

104
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 6: tell you what when I raise my kids and I say,

105
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 6: I want you to look at that picture when he

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 6: was shot in the ear and we were millimeters away

107
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 6: everybody from losing this country, millimeters away from a civil war,

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 6: millimeters away, and we all remember where.

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 2: We were on July thirteenth.

110
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 6: I'm going to tell my kids that anytime that you

111
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 6: go down, you should rise up, and you should say fight, fight,

112
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 6: fight in return, and think about everything that he was

113
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 6: facing seven hundred years in federal prison. They were taking

114
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 6: his business empire away, and he wasn't doing it for him.

115
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: He very easily would not have run for the presidency

116
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 6: and just enjoyed golf in a billionaire lifestyle for the

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 6: rest of his life. But there was this burning there

118
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 6: was this burning motivation within him. And I know this

119
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 6: because he's a friend of mine, which he said, you

120
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 6: know what, the people that put me in office the

121
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 6: first time and the second we want to talk about

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 6: the second hime. But honestly, it was a blessing that

123
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 6: we had this little bit of a gap. Wouldn't you agree,

124
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 6: wouldn't you agree that God works mysterious ways that it's

125
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 6: better Trump won break and Trump two instead of Trump

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 6: won Trump to uninterrupted that it's the break has been

127
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 6: very good for us. But Donald Trump ran again because

128
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 6: he knew that all of you guys would be so

129
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 6: let down by the current political class and that he

130
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 6: had a mandate to fulfill. Now what is that mandate?

131
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 6: You deserve leaders that should go to the US Senate

132
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 6: and say, no compromising, We're no longer going to send

133
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 6: money to Ukraine. If our southern border is wide open.

134
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 6: That should be a non negotiable for the senators of Kentucky.

135
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 6: You guys deserve leaders that go to Washington, d C.

136
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 6: And say, you know what, I'm going to help President

137
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 6: Trump on the mass deportation agenda. In every single way possible.

138
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 6: And also, you deserve leaders go to Washington, DC that

139
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 6: will at least vote for Trump's cabinet. You guys know

140
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 6: that we almost did not get Pete Hegseth because of

141
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: Mitch McConnell here in the state, who voted against Pete Hegseth.

142
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 6: And this is not an insignificant thing, because it's not

143
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 6: just like he was just another senator. He ran the

144
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 6: US Senate for the last twenty years, and he was

145
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 6: using Kentucky as a foil. He was using all of

146
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 6: you these last couple of decades. And I'm not here

147
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 6: to try to make it personal. I guarantee you a

148
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 6: lot of you guys have friends or connections in that.

149
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 6: I'm an outsider. I live in Arizona. But I could

150
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 6: tell you this that we all as Americans, we all

151
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 6: were let down by how Mitch McConnell ran the Senate

152
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 6: the last twenty years. We as Americans can all agree that,

153
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 6: and the hard working people of Kentucky should know clearly

154
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 6: that this race is one of the most important races

155
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 6: in the country. A Democrat's not gonna win this race. God,

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: you know, God forbid, Like we're gonna work right we're

157
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 6: gonna work on that, but it's more important that the

158
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: primary is probably more important than the general because in

159
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 6: the primary here again, I'm not gonna I literally, I'm

160
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: not going to attack anybody in the race. Nate can

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 6: do that if he wants. That's not for me to do.

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 6: But I will say this. I was looking at the race.

163
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 6: I said, is there somebody that will actually tell it

164
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 6: like it is? When he comes out of the gate,

165
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 6: he's like, you know, I'm here to take out the trash.

166
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 6: And here's also Mitch McConnell. He didn't quite connect the dots,

167
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 6: I said, But you know, I said, I like that guy.

168
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 6: He's willing to actually call out the McConnell mafia that

169
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 6: I've been running this state for so long and willing

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 6: willing to get in because you better believe there's gonna

171
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 6: be a lot of attacks against Nate once you say

172
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: it like this. But you know what, take a page

173
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 6: after President Donald Trump. What President Donald Trump did when

174
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 6: he went into the arena was he was unafraid to

175
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: call out the political class. Do you remember what he did.

176
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: He called out the Bushes, he called out.

177
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 6: The Clintons, he called out the Cheney's He called out

178
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 6: all the Republicans that were there prior, and honestly, he

179
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 6: opened a lot of our eyes to the corruption and

180
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,119
Speaker 6: the deep state.

181
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: That was in front of us.

182
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 6: And that is the final point I have to make here,

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 6: and then I'll welcome Nate up on stage. We'll have

184
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 6: a conversation. If we think that the country is won

185
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 6: just because we want in November, we are fooling ourselves.

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 6: You could see this with Mom Donnie. You see this

187
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: with Karen Bass, you see this with the riots in

188
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 6: Los Angeles, you see this in Chicago. But more importantly, everybody,

189
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 6: we know that there is an unelected deep state that

190
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 6: is trying to go after Donald Trump every single day.

191
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 6: And I'm fighting this and you're fighting this. It would

192
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 6: be really nice if we had more people in the

193
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 6: US Senate that we're keeping eyes on whether or not

194
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 6: they're spying on Donald Trump, whether or not they're leaking

195
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 6: on Donald Trump, whether or not they're trying to debase

196
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 6: his agenda. Because we have huge we have huge objectives.

197
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 6: I mean Presidentnald Trump. He's done so much in a

198
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 6: short period of time. The borders completely secure, zero people

199
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 6: are coming across the border. We need mass deportations everybody.

200
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: We need ten million people deported, and we need it quickly.

201
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 6: We need President Trump's trade agenda. We also need no

202
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 6: men in female sports, and we need it quickly.

Speaker 6: great fighters. And this reminds and I'll close with this.

214
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 6: I remember when I made an endorsement on day one

215
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 6: that everyone laughed at. People said I was dumb, They

216
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 6: said I didn't know what I was doing. But I

217
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 6: did it because he was a friend and I saw

218
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 6: something in this guy that could disrupt politics and be

219
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 6: a future leader. He was a guy pulling at zero

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: point one percent in the great state of Ohio. Well,

221
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys think it's the great

222
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 6: state around here, that's okay in the state of Ohio.

223
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 6: No name I D. People had no idea who he was.

224
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 6: He was just a young thirty something, not a much

225
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 6: older than me, who's just a friend of mine who

226
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 6: I used to hang out with.

227
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: His name was Jadie Vance.

228
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 6: And people said, Charlie, you don't know what you're doing.

229
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 6: He's on spin experience. Here's all these terrible things said

230
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 6: against Trump.

231
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: I said, no, no, I know JD.

232
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 6: I know that he's grown in this incredible firepower, and

233
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 6: one day that guy could become president of United says,

234
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 6: you know, we don't know. And all of a sudden

235
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 6: he navigated himself to the primary. And how amazing has

236
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 6: JD been as our vice president? Everybody incredible. I see

237
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 6: a similar trend here where all of a sudden, we

238
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 6: see an insurgent, we see an outsider, and you the grassroots.

239
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 6: You guys have not had a voice in Kentucky politics

240
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 6: for so long. You guys have kind of been ignored.

241
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 6: You guys have been cast aside, and together we can

242
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 6: send a message that will be sent around the country.

243
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 6: You in the grassroots of this state can say enough,

244
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: I'm tired of this false choice. We want to crush

245
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 6: the uniparty, we want to end the McConnell mafia, and

246
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 6: we're gonna send a mess for the rest of the country.

247
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 6: With that, I want to introduce my friend Nate Morris,

248
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 6: the next Senator from the great state of Kentucky.

249
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 4: Charlie, Charlie. I want to thank you for that incredible introduction.

250
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 8: Let's welcome Charlie one more time to the Bluegrass state

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 8: where's no honor. Charlie knows how to fight, doesn't he.

252
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 8: And he fights for us.

253
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: When a lot of people don't want to speak up.

254
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 8: And I'm here today because I'm running for the United

255
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 8: States Senate and it wasn't something.

256
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: That I thought I was gonna do.

257
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 8: And about a year ago, I get a phone call

258
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 8: from another hillbilly, Jadie Vance, and he says to me,

259
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 8: he said, Nate, you know McConnell, he's got to go,

260
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 8: and maybe you should just.

261
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: Look at that seat at running for that seat. Would

262
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: you be interested in doing that?

263
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 8: And I said, you know, JD, I said, I hadn't

264
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 8: really thought about it. I had I'm a business guy.

265
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 8: I'm not a politician. I've never run for office before,

266
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 8: and I make my living in garbage. I am a

267
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 8: garbage man, and I am a proud garbage man. And

268
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 8: by the way, I think the people that do the

269
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 8: jobs that nobody else wants to those are the people.

270
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: That we got to celebrate this country.

271
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 8: And so JD and I have this conversation. I don't

272
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 8: really think much about it. I just bought a company

273
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 8: and I was going to run that company. And I

274
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 8: started seeing the people that were looking at the race,

275
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 8: and I said to myself, first off, we've had a

276
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 8: terrible time of fish.

277
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: It's been shameful. It's been shameful because he's.

278
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 8: Let us down over and over again, and he has

279
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 8: sabotaged President Trump every chance he's had, and the will

280
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 8: of the people here in the Bluegrass State, we.

281
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: Gave him a thirty point march.

282
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 8: Think about that, and Mitch has the nerve to go

283
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 8: to Washington and vote against you and vote against your interest,

284
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 8: your vote and what you want to see with President Trump.

285
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: And I started looking at the people that were going

286
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: to get in this race.

287
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 8: And I was appalled because I thought to myself, these

288
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 8: guys they're nothing.

289
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: But puppets for Mitch McConnell.

290
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 8: And Mitch McConnell has been in the seat since nineteen

291
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 8: eighty five, that's when he was sworn in.

292
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: Think about that before this, that's before you were born, Charlie,

293
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: eight years.

294
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: Before eight years now.

295
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: Now, let's think about this a long time.

296
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 8: This is before the Internet, right, No, we've got some

297
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 8: for the Baby boom generation.

298
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: You all remember before the internet, the days before the internet,

299
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: right right.

300
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 8: Mitch McConnell has been in the Senate before the Internet

301
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 8: was created. That's crazy when you think about it and

302
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 8: you start thinking again, what does he know about you?

303
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: What does he know about the factories that have closed.

304
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 4: In Kentucky because of NAFTA?

305
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 8: What does he know about working people that are trying

306
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 8: to make it every day and trying to live the dream.

307
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 8: And we're getting crushed by the elites in Washington who

308
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 8: know nothing about Kentucky, know nothing about our people, and

309
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 8: they've taken us for granted, and they've used their profits

310
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 8: to enrich themselves and to hurt our people.

311
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: What does he know?

312
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: I think you're right. I think you're right. I think

313
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: you're right.

314
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 8: I don't him and Joe Biden are a great pair,

315
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 8: and so we need term limits.

316
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: I like that.

317
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 8: You know, our founding fathers didn't set up politics to

318
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 8: be a career. It was a calling. It was service.

319
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 8: I want to thank are men and women that have

320
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 8: served in the military. I saw you hold up your hands.

321
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 8: You all served. You know what that means, going to

322
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 8: Washington and doing these kind of jobs.

323
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: It's about service.

324
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: But I started looking.

325
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 8: At these guys, and these guys that are gonna get

326
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 8: or that got in this race, are nothing but puppets

327
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 8: for Mitch McConnell. Both these guys said that Mitch McConnell

328
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 8: was their mentor. There's a guy named Andy Barr who's

329
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 8: a congressman in Lexington. At fifty years old, he said

330
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 8: Mitch McConnell was his mentor. First of all, I don't

331
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 8: know any fifty year old men that still have mentors.

332
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 4: At that point in life.

333
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 8: You're mentoring others, you're giving back, right, And then you

334
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 8: got somebody like Daniel Cameron who gave us Andy Basheer.

335
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 8: Gave us Andy Basheer. Think about that squandered the Trump

336
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 8: endorsement and had the chance to make Kentucky permanently read,

337
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 8: but could not get it done in the governor's race.

338
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 8: And what people don't know is that Mitch McConnell has

339
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 8: given both these guys everything they have on a silver platter.

340
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 8: I mean, we talk about silver spoons. Both these guys

341
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 8: are silver spoons. One grew up at the country club

342
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 8: and one grew up at the hand of Mitch McConnell.

343
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 8: And Daniel Cameron is the son Mitch McConnell never had.

344
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 8: And JD's phone call started ringing in the back of

345
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 8: my head to say, you know what, I see a

346
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 8: lot of garbage, But where I see garbage, I see opportunity.

347
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 8: And I saw a chance to get in this race

348
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 8: after a lot of prayer and consideration. And my wife,

349
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 8: by the way, is nine months pregnant.

350
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: She's right here in the front row.

351
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 8: And I looked at her and she's like, you got

352
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 8: to do this. You don't have a choice. President Trump

353
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 8: needs you, JD needs you, The country needs you, and

354
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 8: there's plenty of garbage for you to pick up in Washington.

355
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: That's right.

356
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 8: And I thought about my own background, you know, I'm

357
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 8: proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian, ninth generation, and

358
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 8: that means something to our people. You know this, our

359
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 8: people came over the Cumberland Gap. We've been fighting since

360
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 8: the inception of Kentucky, since Kentucky was created. Our people fight,

361
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 8: We know how to fight, and we need that same

362
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 8: kind of spirit to take to Washington. And I grew up.

363
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 8: I was raised by a single mother. My mother's also

364
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 8: here too, front row, and you don't have any single mothers

365
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 8: in the crowd. You got the hardest job in the world.

366
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 8: I understand. I saw it with my own mother. I

367
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 8: saw what that's like, and it wasn't easy. We had

368
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 8: hard times in our family. My mom has been on foods, damps.

369
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 8: My dad got locked up for not paying child support.

370
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 8: I've seen the gamut. I know what that's like. But

371
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 8: you know what, it makes you tough. And there's something

372
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 8: in the DNA of Kentuckians that you can't buy, you

373
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 8: can't teach.

374
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: We got it.

375
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 8: We got it because we come from Kentucky and we

376
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 8: fight always night. Nineteen to My family members worked at

377
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 8: the Ford plant just down the road.

378
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: Have any forward workers here all right?

379
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 8: I'm proud that my granddad who's also here, ran Uawa

380
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 8: sixty two, and he taught me that we have to

381
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 8: fight for the working person and the people that work

382
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 8: hard for a living and never forget them, and never

383
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 8: forget the people that sacrifice their life to make the

384
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 8: products that we need and to make the things that

385
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 8: this country needs. And that kind of background is what

386
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 8: allowed me to be an entrepreneur. Now, I've been talking

387
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 8: a lot about garbage. Does anybody watch the Sopranos right?

388
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 8: What does Tony Soprano do for a living? Garbage?

389
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: The garbage business is the toughest industry in the world.

390
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 8: It's the nastiest, toughest, roughest I got. I got some

391
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 8: holoers in the back. I know some friends that are here.

392
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 8: You know this, and this is the mafia business. Now,

393
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 8: the mafia they don't tell you about is that Bill

394
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 8: Gates is the biggest garbage man in the world. Bill

395
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 8: Gates owns more garbage stock than any business person in

396
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 8: the world.

397
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: Think about that.

398
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 8: So when you get in the garbage business, you're not

399
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 8: just fighting against local players. You're fighting against Bill Gates

400
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 8: every day. What a great guy to fight against. By

401
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 8: the way, too, right, he needs to get knocked out

402
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 8: a couple times. And so we get into this industry.

403
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 8: I start with about ten thousand dollars on a credit card.

404
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 8: I had debt, and everybody laughed at me, you're going

405
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 8: to be a garbage man. Really, through all your education

406
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 8: and all the things that you want to do. And

407
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 8: about ten years later, we took that company public at

408
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 8: two billion dollars. And only in America can you make

409
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 8: money with trash. There's nothing more American than making money

410
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 8: with garbage. Nothing more American. And as a business person,

411
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 8: I saw business at the highest levels. We grew this

412
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 8: company to all fifty states, twenty countries, and I've seen

413
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 8: the swamp creatures. I've seen the Klaus Schwab lizard people.

414
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 8: I've seen these people at the highest levels of business

415
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 8: and dealt with them and beat them and won. And

416
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 8: I think we got to have people that know how

417
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 8: to fight the elites. My granddad used to tell me,

418
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 8: you know, if you're not at the table, you're on

419
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 8: the menu, right, And I believe I can get to

420
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 8: the table. I can get to the table and fight.

421
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 8: And I think about the America First Agenda, It's all

422
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 8: about fighting because we have been pushed around by the

423
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 8: elites for far too long. I just talked about immigration

424
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 8: the other day, and I said, until we deport the

425
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 8: twenty million illegals that Joe Biden has flooded our country with,

426
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 8: We're not taking any new immigration, no none. When people

427
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 8: come here illegally, they're stealing from you, they're stealing from you,

428
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 8: they're stealing your jobs, they're stealing your benefits, and they're

429
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 8: taking advantage of our system.

430
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: And by the way, we're letting people in.

431
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 8: Our country that burn our flag, and we're letting people

432
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 8: in our country that spit on America, that hate America.

433
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 8: This guy up in New York is an absolute and

434
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 8: utter disgrace the fact that we'd let him get elected.

435
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 8: And one of the things that I'm so proud to

436
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 8: see in this administration is what RFK Junior is doing

437
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 8: make America healthy again. You know, Number one, we shouldn't

438
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 8: be giving hormones the kids. We should not be given

439
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 8: hormones the kids. And we got to have clean drinking

440
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 8: water right.

441
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: Now.

442
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 8: I don't have to tell you about East Palestine. Everybody

443
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 8: knows what happened there under the Biden administration. And guess

444
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 8: what they were overlooked, probably because of the way they looked,

445
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 8: probably because of the politics that they represented, and probably

446
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 8: because of their location.

447
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: And we can't have this. Every American deserves clean air and.

448
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 8: Clean drinking water, period, especially in East Kentucky.

449
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 4: And I think finally, all.

450
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 8: This government waste we've all been following this doge, this

451
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 8: doge movement, we got to audit every single aspect of

452
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 8: our government because guess what, that's your money. That's your money,

453
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 8: and that belongs to you, and it needs to be

454
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 8: accounted for. But I want to reiterate what Charlie said,

455
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 8: This race is gonna get really rough. It's gonna get

456
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 8: really rough. I'm not a politician. I don't need the

457
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 8: job done very well. I don't need the money. By

458
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 8: the way, I saw Mitch McConnell made one point seven

459
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 8: million dollars last month. Everybody see that. How does that happen?

460
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 8: By the way, how does that happen? Him and Nantae Pelosio,

461
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 8: the greatest stock pickers of all time? They ought to

462
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 8: go to Wall Street. I'm here because this isn't Mitch.

463
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 4: See.

464
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 8: Everybody says this is Mitch's see. You'll heard people say that,

465
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 8: you know what, it's your seat. It belongs to you,

466
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 8: and Charlie, I know we got some questions we.

467
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 4: Got to get through.

468
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: We do.

469
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 6: And so Nate, I want to just reiterate something the pressure.

470
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: A lot of people in this audience are agreeing with

471
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 6: everything you're saying. Go deeper and prove to the audience

472
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 6: that you're not just going to be a candidate that

473
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 6: will say one thing and do the other, because this

474
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 6: is right, this is very high stakes, right, and again

475
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 6: it reminds me a lot of JD, where people said,

476
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 6: I don't know if JD's going to actually be the

477
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 6: guy ended up really proving a lot of those skeptics wrong.

478
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 6: But Nate, talk more about your bio, talk more about

479
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 6: who you are, because look a lot of these folks,

480
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 6: they are skeptical, and a lot of people here are saying,

481
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 6: who's here is really upset with the Republican Party in DC.

482
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: Raise your hand.

483
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 6: Almost every hand goes up. And of course, yet we

484
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 6: all love Trump for a reason because he goes to

485
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 6: fight the UNI Party, not just pander to the Republican Party.

486
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 6: That's why we like President Trump.

487
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: And so.

488
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 6: Nate build out further for people that are like, Okay,

489
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 6: tell me more, Nate, What about you? What are you

490
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 6: gonna do? What are your policy agenda? What is your

491
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 6: kind of call to action in DC?

492
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 8: Well, first off, career politicians have driven our country off

493
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 8: a cliff, the people that make their living in politics.

494
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 8: This is not what our founders designed our system to be.

495
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 8: And our founders were farmers, entrepreneurs, they taught school, they

496
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 8: had real jobs.

497
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 4: Both these guys, Charlie.

498
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: They've never had a real job.

499
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 8: They never had to meet a payroll, and they've been

500
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 8: living off of your tax dollars to make their living.

501
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 8: And you know that's fine for some people. But if

502
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 8: you want to serve at the highest levels, I think

503
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 8: you need to do something First. I think you need

504
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 8: to prove that you can make money. I think you

505
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 8: need to prove you can employ people. I think you

506
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 8: need to prove that you understand the challenges of what

507
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 8: people are going through right now.

508
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 6: Well, second, let's just keep talking about this is not

509
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 6: a town hall.

510
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: Thank you for doing And.

511
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 8: Look, I'm here because I want to serve. And you know,

512
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 8: I grew up single mother, public schools. I had to

513
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 8: fight for everything that I have, just like everybody here

514
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 8: in this room. Nobody gave me anything, and I want

515
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 8: to go to Washington and fight for you because I

516
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 8: see the window of the American dream closing, and the

517
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 8: dream that I got to live through picking up garbage.

518
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 8: I see that window closing for a lot of Americans,

519
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 8: and I see people hurting, and I see people discouraged.

520
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 8: And we almost lost our country under Joe Biden. We

521
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 8: almost lost our country. Thank God for President Trump, thank God.

522
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 8: And I'm not here to hang around the hoop for

523
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 8: forty years. I have a beautiful wife, i have a

524
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 8: son that's on the way. I've got businesses that can

525
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 8: always run. I don't need this job. I want this

526
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 8: job because I want to help you. I want to

527
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 8: help Kentucky, and I want to help this country to

528
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 8: make sure we never get into place like this ever again.

529
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 8: And you deserve the representation that's been taken from you.

530
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 8: This isn't Mitch's seat, it's your seat.

531
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 6: So for example, like when Mitch McConnell was going on

532
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 6: and on saying Trump, you know the whole Remember McConnell

533
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 6: after January he turned his back on Trump. You guys,

534
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 6: remember this, He said, the whole party has done with Trump.

535
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 6: When we needed to have Trump's back the most, McConnell

536
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 6: was nowhere to be seen. In fact, he was organizing

537
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 6: senators against Donald Trump.

538
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: And so nay.

539
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 6: For example, when Mitch McConnell was like wearing Ukrainian flags

540
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 6: on the Senate, well, our country was being invaded on

541
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 6: the southern border. How do you process that? What would

542
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 6: you as a senator do when someone's like, hey, let's

543
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 6: go send another hundred billion dollars to Ukraine.

544
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: Meanwhile we're being invaded. How would you have handled that?

545
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 8: Look, Charlie, it's real simple. We got to take care

546
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 8: of our own. We got to take care of our

547
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 8: own first. And it's shameful that you've got this guy

548
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: Zelenski who knows how much money he's made off this war,

549
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 8: and you had somebody like Mitch McConnell say, Joe, we

550
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 8: trust you.

551
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 4: We're going to trust you to go.

552
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 8: Into this war completely blind, no outline for what success

553
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 8: looks like, no terms of engagement. And the fact that

554
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 8: we let that happen is absolutely crazy, And that someone

555
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 8: like Mitch McConnell would let that happen. And the first

556
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 8: thing I would do as a senator all funding to

557
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 8: Ukraine stops, period.

558
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 7: The Student Action Summit twenty twenty five, featuring the boldest

559
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 7: voices in the fighting. Secretary Pete Hegset, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson,

560
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 7: Steve Benn, Brett Cooper, Secretary Christy Nolan, Riley Gaines, Brandon Tatum,

561
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 7: Jack Kisobo, and Moore joined thousands of students, future leaders

562
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 7: and freedom fighters. This is the battleground of ideas. This

563
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 7: is the Student Action Summit. The Future his hours to

564
00:31:50,000 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 7: build register now at SAS twenty twenty five dot com.

565
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 6: And it's and by the way, this big beautiful bill

566
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 6: that we need to pass, by the way, is going

567
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 6: to fully finance ICE. It will allow us to do

568
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 6: our deportation agenda. You'd be a yes, I'm a big

569
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 6: beautiful bill. Absolutely, that would be.

570
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Nice, right, that'd be good.

571
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 6: And I know it's far from I wish it cut

572
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 6: more spending, right, I wish that it. But what did

573
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 6: we run on? We ran on mass deportations number one,

574
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 6: number two and number three. And right now, do you

575
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 6: know ICE is the only federal department that has not

576
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 6: grown since nine to eleven. Everything grows in our government, everything,

577
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 6: everything grows except ICE. I wonder why, maybe because they

578
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 6: don't want to be able to have the deportation agenda.

579
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 6: So so Nate, let's go further. In the US Senate,

580
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 6: you have a ton of power. You have the power

581
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 6: to have inquiry, You have the power to confirm nominees.

582
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 6: You have the power to slow things down. You also

583
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 6: have the power to propose new legislation. What are the

584
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 6: top policy agenda items that you're going to fight for

585
00:32:59,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 6: in DC.

586
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 8: Well, first, if we don't have a border, we don't

587
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 8: have a country. And every illegal immigrant, every illegal has

588
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 8: to go back. The twenty million that Joe Biden has

589
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 8: let into our country. We don't know who these people are.

590
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 8: They brought drugs into our country, they've brought organized crime.

591
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 8: We've got people that are embedded now in our society

592
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 8: that wish to do you all harm and our country harm.

593
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 8: And we have to have a moratorium of any new

594
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 8: immigration into this country. So that means no carve outs,

595
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 8: no DACA, no special exceptions, hard stop on immigration until

596
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 8: we get the illegals out of our country period. That

597
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 8: has to be number one. And look, I think that

598
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 8: we have got to have a vision for this country again,

599
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 8: to give hope to this country. And I was fortunate

600
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 8: enough to live my dream through garbage?

601
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: Can you believe that?

602
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 8: And I want leadership in Washington that can make us

603
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 8: hopeful again.

604
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 4: And what does that mean.

605
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 8: It means you understand the challenges of Kentuckian's on the ground.

606
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 8: You're not just guessing from Washington. You've lived it. You've

607
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 8: had the hard times put on you. You've seen the

608
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 8: factories close, you've seen people lose their job, You've seen

609
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 8: people struggle. And we have to have leadership that understands

610
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 8: that firsthand. Because guess what, somebody like Mitch McConnell, he's

611
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 8: been up there forty years, he's made his life the

612
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 8: US Senate, and he's been obsessed with two things. He's

613
00:34:53,640 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 8: been obsessed with money and power. Not you should be you.

614
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: That's what a senator should focus on.

615
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 6: And another huge point, and I'm for the younger people

616
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 6: in the audience too, is cost of living. I mean,

617
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 6: it's harder than ever for young people they to own

618
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 6: a home.

619
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: Am I right?

620
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 6: Things are getting outrageously expensive. And one of my big

621
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 6: complaints of most Republicans, and this is why it tries

622
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 6: me nuts when they send money abroad so much, is like,

623
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 6: why are you sending all this foreign aid when our

624
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 6: own kids can't afford homes and they have to go

625
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 6: into credit card debt to pay for their medical bills.

626
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, there's something wrong with that. There's something fundamentally

627
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 6: wrong with your country when and this is not a

628
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 6: Republican or Democrat thing. I don't people say, oh, you're

629
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 6: not allowed to talk about that, Like, okay, Honestly, I

630
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 6: love capitalism. This is a great example of capitalism. I

631
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 6: love markets. But again, if our twenty three year olds

632
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 6: that are welders in Shepherdsville or Elizabethtown, they have to

633
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 6: like go into debt because they had to go to

634
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 6: the er, like, there's something broken, and I wish our

635
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 6: leaders spent more time talking about that, then some sort

636
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 6: of foreign conflict that will not involve you, that does

637
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 6: not pertain to you. And I see this on college

638
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 6: campuses because we are seeing a major major issue in

639
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 6: our country. Young men are getting married less and young

640
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 6: women as well, but young men in particular. Young men

641
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 6: are becoming more and more disengaged and disenchanted with kind

642
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 6: of the current economic order. The country's collapsing from that

643
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 6: from the lowest leven no Trump is building it back up.

644
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 6: I think we've had a really good six months. But everybody,

645
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 6: if we do not tackle cost of living inflation, then

646
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 6: we're gonna have a nation of renters. We are gonna

647
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 6: have young people that own nothing, and they will not

648
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 6: be happy. And I'm telling you right now, if we

649
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 6: don't fix this, and President Trump I believe will, but

650
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 6: that's why we need him in the US Senate, then

651
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 6: you're gonna see one hundred zero round Mom Donni's and

652
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 6: all your communities across Kentucky.

653
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 8: You know, ahead, you know, Charlie. Another thing, I just

654
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 8: do I have anybody who's carrying today?

655
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 4: Anybody have all right? All right?

656
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 6: By the way, I know there's more. I know there's

657
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 6: more people carrying than that. Good for you for not

658
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 6: raising your hand, Well.

659
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: I will.

660
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 4: I love the people who patriots are raising their hair.

661
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: I love this.

662
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 8: Mitch McConnell worked with Joe Biden on gun control, and

663
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 8: you've got somebody like Andy Barr that supported red flag walls.

664
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 8: And I want to bring up the Second Amendment, Charlie,

665
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 8: because I think they don't call us Guentucky for nothing, right,

666
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 8: and guns are a way of life here. Second Amendments

667
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 8: a way of life in Kentucky, and and the and

668
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 8: the people that are carrying.

669
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: We have to protect your rights.

670
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 8: We have to protect everyone's rights because we know if

671
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 8: they take the guns, they're going to take the government,

672
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 8: They're going to take our life. And I want you

673
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 8: to know that this nonsense that McConnell and Andy Barr

674
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 8: have stood for, we got to get it out once

675
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 8: and for all.

676
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 6: And the firearm issue is not insignificant. We all know

677
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 6: that our other liberties are protected by the Second Amendment.

678
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 6: There is no First Amendment without the Second Amendment. It's

679
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 6: nice to be able to hunt, it's nice to be

680
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 6: able to know at night that you could prevent a

681
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 6: home invader.

682
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: But why do we really have the Second Amendment? Everybody?

683
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: Because it keeps us free.

684
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 6: What keeps us different than other countries is the fact

685
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 6: that you are able to defend yourself against a tyrannical government.

686
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 6: God forbid it.

687
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: Ever came to that.

688
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 6: And there are forces in DC that are constantly trying

689
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 6: to take your guns away, that constantly don't trust you

690
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 6: with being on the own firearms.

691
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: And so Nate talk.

692
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 6: About the Kentucky way of life because I love it.

693
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 6: When I come here, you guys are avid outdoors people.

694
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 6: You love fishing, you love hunting. But in DC it's

695
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 6: so metropolitan focused. Right, It's as if you've if you

696
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 6: don't Uber to work and if you don't get your

697
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 6: food delivered to you're somehow like a lesser person. No,

698
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 6: it's true, and it just kind of embeds itself and

699
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 6: it buws it and bus itself into the elitism and

700
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 6: the snobbery of DC. You're a ninth generation Kentuckian.

701
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: I'm so proud of that, Charlie.

702
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

703
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 6: Actually, is anyone a ninth generation Kentucky in here? Got

704
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 6: we got a couple of hands.

705
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 8: That's right, that's that's before and you know, Charlie, before air.

706
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: Conditioning, that's I think so.

707
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: And you know.

708
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 8: My family Charlie descents or Morgan County? Do we have

709
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 8: anybody from the mountains?

710
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 4: Anybody? All right? And this is.

711
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 8: Morgan is right next to Breath That where JD's family's from.

712
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 8: And look, I think that where're some of the forgotten Americans.

713
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 8: We're the forgotten Americans. You know, we don't use Uber

714
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 8: for every meal. Uber eats. We don't use Uber eats

715
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 8: for every meal. You know, we don't drink soy milk.

716
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 6: Drink a lot of bourbon, That's what I'm told.

717
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 8: And we like to put gas in our car. We're

718
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 8: not using electric vehicles. And we don't eat that fake meat.

719
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 8: Have you seen this, Charlie, This lab grown meat. We

720
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 8: actually raised cattle here and hogs and and livestock.

721
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 4: That's great.

722
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 6: And by the way, that that creates a grittiness of

723
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 6: the Kentucky faithful.

724
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 2: You guys are tough people.

725
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 6: You, by the way, you know that disproportionately Kentucky, Tennessee,

726
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 6: the South serves in our milllitary.

727
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: That's why I thanked all of you, because I was

728
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: so proud of our military.

729
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 6: By the way, when President Trump ordered that strike on

730
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 6: a run, I was so proud of our military.

731
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 2: Weren't you in such a beautiful moment.

732
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 6: And only President Trump would have been able to do

733
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 6: that and then not bring us into an endless war

734
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 6: like a wreck, right, Only he and so Nate talk

735
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 6: about that because the grittiness of the people of Kentucky,

736
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 6: that's who you're representing. That's what McConnell has forgotten. Maybe

737
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 6: he knew that in like nineteen eighty six, I don't know,

738
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 6: seven years before I was born. But it's the people

739
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 6: that shower before work and shower after work. It's the

740
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 6: muscular class that built Kentucky that it's about time they

741
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 6: have a representative in DC.

742
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

743
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 8: And Charlie, you know, in Kentucky we celebrate people that

744
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 8: work in the mons, We celebrate people that teel the fields.

745
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 4: We celebrate people.

746
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 8: That work with their hands and work in the factories

747
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 8: and make the great things that we produce here in

748
00:41:59,360 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 8: this country.

749
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: Nobody builds like Kentucky. We got an auto.

750
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 8: Plant down the street that is about sixty percent affords

751
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 8: domestic revenue.

752
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 4: Think about that sixty percent.

753
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 8: And so we build incredible stuff here and we have

754
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 8: to protect it. But you know, I think people get

755
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 8: Potomac fever. They go up to Washington and they forget

756
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 8: what America is all about. They forget what America is

757
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 8: all about.

758
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 6: So, Nate, when you start to get invited to all

759
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 6: these lobbyist dinners and you know you're gonna stand talk

760
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 6: about how you're gonna stand out, Like who are you

761
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 6: to stand up to them?

762
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: Because it's very hard.

763
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 6: As you guys know, how many people have we seen

764
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 6: go to DC and they come back somebody completely different,

765
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 6: most of them, right, But Nate, I believe you're cut differently,

766
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 6: and that's why I'm here. That's why I'm spending time

767
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 6: because I think that your biography, your history, your story.

768
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 6: So when you start getting invited to all this swanky stuff,

769
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 6: what's your response going to be? And talk about how that.

770
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 2: Connects to the people Kentucky.

771
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, Charlie, I go to bed pretty

772
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: early these days.

773
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 8: So I'm not going to be out in the town.

774
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 8: You know, some of these senators. You know, we've heard

775
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 8: crazy stories, you know, through the years. So I go

776
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 8: to bed pretty early. But look, I don't owe anybody anything.

777
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 8: You know, when you owe somebody something, they got.

778
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 4: You, right, they got you.

779
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 8: And both these guys that are in the race, Bar

780
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 8: and Cameron, they owe everything to Mitch McConnell. What do

781
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 8: you think they're going to do when they get in there,

782
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 8: whatever he says, that's right. And I don't need the job.

783
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 8: I have a great company, I've made plenty of money.

784
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 8: I've been very successful. I don't need the job and

785
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 8: I don't need the paycheck. I'm doing it because we've

786
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 8: got to get career politicians out of our system.

787
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 4: I think Trump has proven.

788
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 8: That and and our mutual friend jd. Vance has proven

789
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 8: that as well. Is that we got to have people

790
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 8: coming from the outside to shake it up. But I

791
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 8: don't care about the lobbyist. I don't care about the

792
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 8: special interest money.

793
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 4: My special interest is the people of Kentucky. That's it.

794
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 6: In closing here, Nate, let's talk about just some of

795
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 6: the other issues that people you know, pro life, your

796
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 6: pro gun, because I mean, if you ask me, this

797
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 6: is me talking, not Nate. I think we're in a

798
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 6: spiritual war right now. I think that we're in the

799
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 6: midst of That's just me, that's just Charlie.

800
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: Nate can say what he wants.

801
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we're one nation under God first and foremost,

802
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 6: and we must never forget that.

803
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 2: So Nate, talk about these other very important Yeah.

804
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 8: No, absolutely, And look, I think one of the things

805
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 8: I credit my mother with is that she always taught

806
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 8: me to pray. She got me to church, and you know,

807
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 8: I didn't always walk with the Lord always, but I

808
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 8: would always go back to that foundation that my mother

809
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 8: gave me in the darkest moments. And you know, I

810
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 8: was having lunch with my pastor the other day and

811
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 8: he said, this is good versus evil. Nate politics today

812
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 8: is good versus evil, right, And it's good versus evil

813
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 8: for all of us in our day to day life.

814
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 8: I mean, we're competing with what's on the phone. We're

815
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 8: competing with all the nonsense that we're getting out of Washington,

816
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 8: all the stuff that we're seeing from big corporations that

817
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 8: are trying to get us to do all this crazy stuff,

818
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 8: this woke stuff. And it is good versus evil. And

819
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 8: I'm proud of my faith. I'm proud that I accepted Christ,

820
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 8: and I'm proud that I'm going to be that same

821
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 8: person that takes my faith into the office and with

822
00:45:55,080 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 8: everything I do. And you know, I think the other

823
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 8: thing is we know what's right. You know what's the

824
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 8: right thing to do. And you know, President Trump, I mean,

825
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 8: how much did he talk about common sense on the

826
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 8: campaign trail. You know, you scratch your head and you

827
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 8: look at some of the stuff that the Democrats do.

828
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 4: And you say, that doesn't make any sense.

829
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 8: And let me tell you, when you're picking up trash,

830
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 8: you got to use common sense. You got to be

831
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 8: on time, you got to throw it in the right place,

832
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 8: you got to make sure people are getting what they need.

833
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 4: This is common sense stuff, and.

834
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 8: I think we also need people that use good judgment

835
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 8: and common sense and do the next right thing. We

836
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 8: know what the right thing is to do. I think

837
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 8: everybody does, and the Democrats and some Republicans have perverted

838
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 8: what good looks like and they've put us on a

839
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 8: path that we can't even recognize. I mean, Charlie, I

840
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 8: think the biggest applause you got was men and women's sports.

841
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 8: I mean, did you ever think, would we ever think

842
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 8: ten years ago we would be having a conversation about

843
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 8: you know, the big guy that swims for Pennsylvania.

844
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 6: Riley Gaines is from this great stage.

845
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right at University can comfort.

846
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 8: And it's absolutely crazy that we're even having this conversation

847
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 8: today in America.

848
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 4: It's ludicrous.

849
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 8: So look, I think, Charlie, I'm very fortunate that I'm

850
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 8: grounded in faith, and I pray about every big decision

851
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 8: everything that I do. Before I went on here, I

852
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 8: said a prayer before I came up here, and that's

853
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 8: what I'm going to do as a senator, because I

854
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 8: think if you're not willing to humble yourself and pray

855
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 8: before God, you know, because these guys in Washington, power

856
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 8: has become their god, the DC life has become their god.

857
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 8: To some people, technology has become their god. They worship

858
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 8: these things. And I think Mitch McConnell, you know, he's

859
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 8: getting at the end here, and I just asked the

860
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 8: question was it worth it?

861
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 4: Was it worth it?

862
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 6: And the last question here, which I think pertains to

863
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 6: what we do at Turning Point, what I do. And

864
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 6: by the way, thank you all for supporting Turning Point

865
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 6: and praying for us. It means I thank you to

866
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 6: thank you Truding, thank you because we're on the front

867
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 6: lines where it's not always safe, it's not always easy,

868
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 6: but we we go because we know it's it's right.

869
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 6: In some ways, you could call it mission work, but

870
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 6: it's different than traditional mission work. We did one hundred

871
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 6: hour I did one hundred hours of campus debates this

872
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 6: last semesterlievable. But and you you have your your nine

873
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 6: year old son here that is alive and a human

874
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 6: being just not yet born. Very important right, because we

875
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 6: are a pro life party and we will continue to

876
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 6: be a pro life party, pro life right. But Nate,

877
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 6: that's a very important driving reason. So often leaders in DC,

878
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 6: whether it be the amount of debt that we're piling up,

879
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 6: which is inexcusable. By the way, we have to start

880
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 6: balancing our budget in DC.

881
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: We need to.

882
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 6: The amount of debt is inexcusable, the open borders. What

883
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 6: we did during COVID. COVID will go down as one

884
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 6: of the most grotesque mistakes, locking down our schools, putting

885
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 6: masks on them, unnecessarily making them get a very questionable

886
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 6: MRNAG and altering shot and calling it healthcare. We have

887
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 6: failed our kids these last five years in this country.

888
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 6: We have failed our kids, and

889
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 8: There
