00:06:30.000Hegseth had an incredible press conference this morning on the recent strike against Iran, and he put the fake news to shame.
00:06:39.000Plus, New York Democrats are going all in on communism for their mayoral nominee.
00:06:45.000We'll give you the breakdown of where the city goes from here because now this lunatic says he also wants to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu in addition to all of his other insane views.
00:06:57.000And later, Kentucky entrepreneur Nate Morris will stop by to talk about all the top stories and perhaps a political announcement.

00:08:00.000After everything we saw during COVID and the cover-up, saying we have trust issues with the so-called experts is probably an understatement, guys.

00:09:08.000And guys, with that, let's get into all of the top headlines.
00:09:13.000And we begin in my former home of New York, where I used to joke, it's the People's Republic of New York.
00:09:20.000That's why I moved to Florida four or five years ago.
00:09:23.000Now, that seems to be coming even more true than ever before, where by now, I'm sure you've heard the news that New York Democrats this week voted for Zoran Mandani to be their nominee for mayor.
00:09:39.000Now, this guy isn't just another radical Democrat.
00:09:47.000Every extreme position Democrats hold, he's adopted and ramped up to a level a thousand times worse.
00:09:56.000And according to the voting data, he actually performed best with the higher income precincts across the city.
00:10:04.000For example, Andrew Cuomo beat him in places like the Bronx, while Mandani dominated in place like the West Village and in Williamsburg, you know, where all the hipsters live.
00:10:15.000Among lower income precincts, Cuomo won by 13 points.
00:10:20.000Among higher income precincts, Mandani won by 13 points.
00:10:38.000I've got my don't rank Cuomo t-shirt, but I haven't hidden because I'm going to a polling site.
00:10:44.000Joran one, Brad two, Adrian three, Stringer four, Michael Blake five.
00:10:52.000And whatever you do, don't rank Cuomo.
00:10:57.000Vote for Jumani, vote for Justin Brannon.
00:11:01.000We have a chance to make sure that our corrupt, sexual harassing, Trump donor supported, disgraced former governor is not elected mayor of New York.
00:12:37.000When they were starting to call in the President Hitler and other fascists, I said, that's not what working class people are concerned about.
00:12:45.000We need to talk about affordability, housing, public safety, these bread and butter issues.
00:12:50.000It has gone too far left, an arm of the party.
00:12:53.000And far too many working class people, I say, saying, start talking about my issues.
00:13:04.000It doesn't seem like he's ever actually had a real job, but he's got a bunch of affluent white champagne socialists in his corner who either don't understand what they're actually voting for or they don't actually care.
00:13:18.000Perhaps they don't mind if the city goes to hell as long as they get to virtue signaling that, you know, they're super woke, guys.
00:13:24.000Because ironically, Democrats in New York say they care about lowering costs and improving the quality of life.
00:13:31.000But they voted for someone who will not only exacerbate the problems Democrats have created for themselves in blue cities and states like New York City, New York State, California, and others.
00:13:43.000Now, for Nandani's own ex-account on what he actually believes, he wrote back in 2020, quote, end cash bail, repeal the trans while walking ban, decriminalize sex work, permit safe injection sites, I assume for heroin, restrict solitary confinement, end cooperation with ICE, and repeal sentencing enhancements.
00:14:10.000Oh, by the way, he also wants to arrest Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits New York.
00:14:18.000And get this, he also wants hate crime prevention programs, which of course is just another word for censorship and political prosecution.
00:14:30.000And I know that Jewish New Yorkers, like Jewish Americans, are fearful in this moment of anti-Semitism.
00:14:36.000They're fearful, especially after the horrific attacks that we saw in Washington, D.C. and in Boulder, Colorado.
00:14:42.000And they're fearful also in conversations that I have heard myself about life in this city.
00:14:47.000I spoke to a Jewish man in Williamsburg not too many weeks ago who told me about the fact that he now locks the door that he used to close, that he used to keep open for years because of a fear of who may come in.
00:14:59.000I spoke to a friend of mine after October 7th who told me about going to his synagogue for Shabbat services and hearing the door open behind him and turning around with a tremor going up his back, not knowing who was walking in and what they wished for them.
00:15:13.000And ultimately, it's through the conversations I've had with Jewish New Yorkers that I have developed a proposal for the Department of Community Safety that would include an 800% increase in funding for hate crime prevention programs.
00:15:27.000Because ultimately, we cannot simply say that anti-Semitism has no home in this city or no place in this country.
00:15:33.000We have to do more than talk about it.
00:16:47.000Believe it or not, some Democrats are finding a way to take it a step further.
00:16:53.000For example, disgraced former New York Congressman Jamal Bowman says that the reason that black communities are struggling with things like heart disease and obesity is from being, and I quote, being called the N-word.
00:17:09.000I'm not sure what any of that has to do with obesity, but here he is in his own words.
00:17:16.000And the problem is we are not dealing with America's original sin and its disease of hate and racism towards black and brown people and sexism towards women and anti-LGBTQ sentiment.
00:17:32.000Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent basis.
00:17:42.000Congressman, I mean, where are you on?
00:17:50.000The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day.
00:18:05.000If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country.
00:19:16.000What's worse is in watching all of this lunacy, especially in New York, you know, Chucky Schumer, AOC, you know, these guys that are supposed to be the reasonable people there, and they're not saying anything.
00:19:27.000This communist unseated Andrew Cuomo, who was pretty damn left?
00:19:42.000But, guys, the left-wing lunacy does not stop there because there's now a left-wing group called the 4 AM Club, which claims that Kamala actually won the election in November.
00:19:54.000And we're living in an alternate timeline.
00:19:58.000But they don't exactly worry that their psychic energy will bring us back to reality anytime soon.
00:20:42.000We will yet get a different result in the end.
00:20:45.000I was shown him falling from something to do with blood on the brain.
00:20:48.000Okay, I'm seeing lower level leaders will be removed before the top ones.
00:20:54.000It bears a striking resemblance to QAnon, except everything has been feminized.
00:20:58.000Instead of searching through Reddit boards and 8chan to find what they're looking for, they go deep within themselves, trusting their feminine intuition, their gut, the divine goddess.
00:21:07.000The 4am clubbers, I don't think, are going to be scaling the Capitol anytime soon, but I do think they represent the next chapter in the story of political conspiracies.
00:21:16.000It shows that the American population feels both completely out of control and lied to.
00:21:25.000I know, I always say it, but these people are freaking nuts.
00:21:54.000That's where the base of America is, not the Republican Party, the base of America.
00:21:59.000And yet the left continues to poo-poo that and just go further and further towards insanity.
00:22:07.000And meanwhile, this morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegsteth and General Dan Raisin Kane held a presser to combat the misleading and illegal leaks about the recent Iran strike.
00:22:20.000And let's just say, Hegseth didn't hold back on dismantling yet another fake news narrative.
00:22:27.000There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful.
00:22:50.000And time and time again, classified information is leaked or peddled for political purposes to try to make the president look bad.
00:22:57.000And what's really happening is you're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission, set back a nuclear program in ways that other presidents would have dreamed.
00:23:25.000But we also have an opportunity to stand at the podium and read the truth of what's really happening.
00:23:30.000And the reality is you want to call it destroyed, you want to call it defeated, you want to call it obliterated, choose your word.
00:23:38.000This was an historically successful attack, and we should celebrate it as Americans.
00:23:42.000And it gives us a chance to have peace, chance to have a deal, and an opportunity to prevent a nuclear Iran, which is something President Trump talked about for 20 years, and no other presidents had the courage to actually do.
00:23:55.000And moments later, General Dan Raisincane laid out in precise detail just how successful this mission really was, and it was powerful.
00:24:04.000Let me talk about the graphic a little bit.
00:24:07.000And the GBU-57, which all of you I know know is a 30,000-pound weapon dropped only by the B-2.
00:24:15.000It's comprised of steel, explosive, and a fuse.
00:24:20.000Programmed bespokely, uses effectively what tells the bomb when to function.
00:24:27.000A longer delay in a fuse, the deeper the weapon will penetrate and drive into the target.
00:24:35.000So on Ford, in June of 2008, you can see these three holes.
00:24:42.000Depicted here is the main exhaust shaft with two additional ventilation shafts on either side.
00:24:48.000The United States decided to strike these two ventilation shafts seen here on the main graphic as the primary point of entry into the mission space.
00:24:59.000In the days preceding the attack against Fordeau, the Iranians attempted to cover the shafts with concrete to try to prevent an attack.
00:25:10.000I won't share the specific dimensions of the concrete cap, but you should know that we know what the dimensions of those concrete caps were.
00:25:25.000The cap was forcibly removed by the first weapon, and the main shaft was uncovered.
00:25:32.000Weapons two, three, four, five were tasked to enter the main shaft, move down into the complex at greater than 1,000 feet per second, and explode in the mission space.
00:25:47.000Weapon number six was designed on each side, so there were six on each side.
00:25:53.000Weapons number six was designed as a flex weapon to allow us to cover if one of the preceding Jets or one of the preceding weapons did not work.
00:26:05.000If you actually want to know the fullback story, and I didn't know any of this, this goes back 15 years where they realized what was going on.
00:26:14.000You got to watch General Kane explain the full thing in detail, just how precise this mission is, just how long they were looking at this site, just how they literally created munitions to be able to target this site in specific.
00:26:30.000It's actually incredible, and it's actually a seriously good feel-good story.
00:26:36.000Let me next move to a walkthrough of the GBU-57 massive ordnance penetrator weapon and share a little bit about the planners who did this and their work on the weapon.
00:26:54.000There's an organization in the U.S. called the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, DITRA.
00:27:00.000DITRA does a lot of things for our nation, but DITRA is the world's leading expert on deeply buried underground targets.
00:27:10.000In 2009, a Defense Threat Reduction Agency officer was brought into a vault at an undisclosed location and briefed on something going on in Iran.
00:27:22.000For security purposes, I'm not going to share his name.
00:27:25.000He was shown some photos and some highly classified intelligence of what looked like a major construction project in the mountains of Iran.
00:27:34.000He was tasked to study this facility, work with the intelligence community to understand it, and he was soon joined by an additional teammate.
00:27:43.000For more than 15 years, this officer and his teammate lived and breathed this single target, Ford, a critical element of Iran's covert nuclear weapons program.
00:27:59.000He watched the construction, the weather, the discard material, the geology, the construction materials, where the materials came from.
00:28:07.000He looked at the vent shaft, the exhaust shaft, the electrical systems, the environmental control systems, every nook, every crater, every piece of equipment going in and every piece of equipment going out.
00:28:20.000They literally dreamed about this target at night when they slept.
00:28:25.000They thought about it driving back and forth to work, and they knew from the very first days what this was for.
00:28:33.000You do not build a multi-layered underground bunker complex with centrifuges and other equipment in a mountain for any peaceful purpose.
00:28:43.000They weren't able to discuss this with their family, their wives, their kids, their friends, but they just kept grinding it out.
00:28:51.000And along the way, they realized we did not have a weapon that could adequately strike and kill this target.
00:28:58.000So they began a journey to work with industry and other tacticians to develop the GBU-57.
00:29:05.000They tested it over and over again, tried different options, tried more after that.
00:29:11.000They accomplished hundreds of test shots and dropped many full-scale weapons against extremely realistic targets for a single purpose, kill this target at the time and place of our nation's choosing.
00:29:28.000And then, on a day in June of 2025, more than 15 years after they started their life's work, the phone rang and the President of the United States ordered the B-2 force that you've supported to go strike and kill this target.
00:29:43.000Yesterday, I had the incredible honor and privilege of spending time with these two Defense Threat Reduction Agency officers who've given so much.
00:29:52.000One of them said, quote, I can't even get my head around this.
00:29:56.000My heart is so filled with the pride of being a part of this team.
00:30:47.000You know who she works for and you know what their motive is.
00:30:52.000And it's not for the good of the American people, folks.
00:30:55.000Because my father's national security agenda is working and both our allies and our adversaries are taking notice.
00:31:03.000For example, NATO's allies are finally stepping up and doing what Trump says they need to do, which is to pay their fair share.
00:31:11.000In fact, the NATO Secretary General apparently referred to my father as daddy the other day when he was asked about it in a press conference.
00:32:28.000You wanna be all up in your head Yeah So hey, isn't you say daddy's home Home for me And I know you've been waiting for this love in all day You know your daddy's home And it's time to
00:32:48.000say, yeah But you ain't got to give my love away So hey, hey, hey So what you say Hey, hey, hey I ain't got to do a lot of flexing
00:33:08.000Shawty, you already know what it is So what you say Hey, hey, hey Call me daddy, babe You better know what you like Hey, hey, hey So what you say you you And on that note, guys, we'll wrap up the news and get to Nate Morris.
00:33:32.000But first, remember to support our great sponsors, okay?
00:33:37.000These guys took a lot of risks supporting this programming.
00:33:40.000Support the people who allow us to have these kinds of conversations, who allow us to get that news out there.
00:34:52.000Well, Don, after careful reflection and prayer, talking to my wife, Jane, I've decided to run for the United States Senate to replace Mitch McConnell here in Kentucky and finally bring this seat back to the people.
00:35:08.000You know, as I started having these conversations about the United States Senate seat here in Kentucky, everybody said, Don, that this is McConnell's seat, that it belongs to him.
00:35:19.000And that seat belongs to the people of Kentucky.
00:35:22.000And I am proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian.
00:35:28.000When I came into the world, my mother was on food stamps.
00:35:32.000And we've been fighting and scrapping for everything we have, like most Kentuckians.
00:35:36.00019 of my family members worked in an auto plant.
00:35:39.000And I've been able to live the American dream because of how great this country is.
00:35:44.000And as you know, Don, I made money in garbage.
00:35:47.000There's nothing more American than making money with trash.
00:35:51.000And I think we've had a lot of it build up in Washington, D.C. And I think it's time to take out the trash in Washington, D.C. and bring something new.
00:35:59.000Somebody from the outside, somebody that's not a career politician, and most importantly, someone that's only beholden to the people, not to McConnell cronies and the people that have been occupying this seat through McConnell Inc.
00:36:30.000Former Governor Matt Bevin made me that.
00:36:34.000So, you know, I've spent a lot of time in the area.
00:36:35.000I know a lot of the people, about as MAGA as it gets.
00:36:39.000How is it that a guy like Mitch McConnell could actually hold on to that seat for so long?
00:36:44.000How are they able to maintain that power?
00:36:46.000And how do we break it so that the representatives of Kentucky actually represent the sentiment of the people of the constituency and not that of the swamp?
00:36:56.000Well, Don, Mitch McConnell has been obsessed with two things in his career, money and power.
00:37:02.000And prior to coming on the national stage, the number one issue that Mitch McConnell cared about was getting more money in politics for his own preservation and his own survival.
00:37:13.000And we have a chance now through what we've seen, the success with your father, being an outsider, being a business guy, also the vice president J.D. Vance.
00:37:23.000And we need people that don't owe anything to the swamp.
00:37:27.000And we need people that have had real jobs before, that have met payrolls and that have had to fight in business and actually understand the challenges of everyday Kentuckians and everyday Americans.
00:37:39.000But Mitch McConnell has made it his life goal to gain as much power and as much money as he can.
00:37:45.000And that's how he's been able to remain in power because all the lobbyists, all the operatives, all the cronies for years, they have depended on Mitch McConnell to make their living.
00:37:55.000And now we have a chance, Don, to have a clean break, get it right, and really take this back to the people of Kentucky where it belongs.
00:38:03.000So Nate, what are the issues that you care about most?
00:38:07.000And I assume that's aligned with the people of Kentucky.
00:38:11.000Well, I think first and foremost, Don, under Joe Biden, our country was invaded.
00:38:16.000We saw 20 million illegals come into this country, and we have not been able to control our border since Mitch McConnell has been in power.
00:38:25.000Mitch McConnell has voted for amnesty over and over and over again.
00:38:30.000And just recently, Don, I called for a moratorium on all new immigration until we deport every single one of these illegal immigrants that have invaded our country.
00:38:41.000And what that means, Don, is there's no carve outs.
00:38:44.000There's no special exceptions, no special consideration for DACA or other measures that the left tries to insert into our politics.
00:38:52.000We have got to get all these illegals to go back where they came from so the American worker and the American families can be Protected.
00:39:00.000Because look, Don, we know if you don't have a border, you don't have a country, but also you don't have an economy if you don't have a border.
00:39:07.000And I think Mitch McConnell, it's shameful that he's continued to allow these poorest borders to happen under his leadership over the last 40 years he's been in office.
00:39:17.000So, what do you think Mitch McConnell's legacy is at this point?
00:39:22.000I mean, it certainly has changed over time.
00:39:24.000And as of late, it's just been, I guess, you might as well be a Democrat.
00:39:29.000But what do you think that is right now?
00:39:32.000Well, everyone has an expiration, Don.
00:39:35.000They have an expiration date just like the things you find at the grocery store anywhere else.
00:39:40.000And Mitch McConnell has hung around way too long.
00:39:43.000And I think your father put it best, the stench of Mitch has been, it has been something that you cannot ignore.
00:39:50.000And I think that if he'd left office years ago, I think history would have been a lot more favorable to him.
00:39:56.000But unfortunately, he's going to be known in Kentucky and around the United States for sabotaging your father's agenda and the Trump agenda and the MAGA agenda from voting against his picks for the cabinet to doing everything that he can to put a thorn in your father's side.
00:40:16.000And look, what I'm very excited about is your father is undefeated when it comes to defeating political bosses.
00:41:03.000And one of the deciding factors for me, Don, is someone from the outside and someone who's a business leader.
00:41:10.000I couldn't sit back and watch Mitch McConnell's cronies take this seat.
00:41:15.000You have someone like Daniel Cameron, who completely botched the governor's race two years ago, had your father's endorsement, squandered it.
00:41:24.000He's a McConnell scholar at the University of Louisville.
00:41:27.000Mitch McConnell made him who he is today.
00:41:30.000And he famously said that Mitch McConnell changed the trajectory of his life.
00:41:36.000And this is a guy who owes everything to Mitch.
00:41:41.000Mitch McConnell's chief of staff ran his campaign for attorney general and the governor's race.
00:41:46.000And again, he's going to be a rubber stamp for McConnell Link if he were to get in there.
00:41:50.000I think Andy Barr is another great example.
00:41:52.000I mean, he recently said on the live TV that Mitch McConnell is his mentor.
00:41:58.000Of course, your name continues to get floated around as a person on a long list of candidates to run first to succeed Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate whenever that time does come.
00:42:08.000Have you considered at all looking at a vacancy?
00:42:13.000I liked what my mentor, Leader Mitch McConnell, said when he announced that he was not going to seek another term as leader of the Republicans in the Senate.
00:42:22.000He said, I think that my adversaries will be disappointed that I still have gas in my tank.
00:42:28.000And I've thanked Leader McConnell for his service.
00:42:32.000And as long as he wants to remain in the Senate, I'm with him because his legacy is big.
00:42:44.000And he has a legacy as big as Kentucky and beyond.
00:42:49.000And he was going to wait and see what McConnell did.
00:42:53.000And that was going to determine what he decided to do if he was going to get in the race.
00:42:57.000And John, you may remember we were the first to call for Mitch McConnell to resign and retire from office very early on and say, look, Mitch, you've got to go.
00:43:28.000He said that January 6th, that your father was to blame for January 6th.
00:43:33.000And I think that this is something that's very alarming to most people.
00:43:37.000And look, I think we also have to think that after your father's term concludes, this Senate seat is going to go on for a very, very long time.
00:43:45.000And Andy Barr is the kind of guy that after your father leaves office, you know, he's going to return to being that establishment moderate squish that continues to go along to get along in the swamp.
00:43:58.000And both of these guys, Don, are lawyers.
00:44:00.000We don't need more lawyers in politics.
00:44:02.000And we need people who don't need the job, people that have met payrolls, people that have come from the outside.
00:44:08.000And I think that's what we can bring a new and fresh perspective and something that's a complete contrast to both of these guys.
00:44:15.000You know, it's just, you know, for the people of Kentucky, you know, you mentioned some of the politics and being, you know, beholden to some of your forebearers there.
00:44:22.000But, you know, what are the other things that make you different than the other guys in this race, Nate?
00:44:26.000You know, look, Don, I think I have a true Kentucky story, like most Kentuckians, raised by a single mom.
00:45:31.000And unfortunately, career politicians and the people that have occupied the swamp for a very long time, they've sold us out, Don.
00:45:39.000The elites have sold us out, whether it be sending their jobs to Mexico or to China and hurting families like mine that are dependent on manufacturing jobs to make their living.
00:45:51.000And those are the people that I want to go to Washington and fight for their interests and fight for the average Kentuckian that's trying to make it.
00:45:59.000Yeah, you mentioned sort of the business side of things.
00:46:02.000Tell us a little bit more about that background in business, because I think it's so fundamentally critical to have people in positions of power who are deciding trillion-dollar decisions who actually have signed the front of a paycheck, not just the back, who have actually had people's lives and livelihoods dependent on their success and showing up and getting it done every day.
00:46:23.000It seems like something the politicians sort of take for granted, but they've never actually done it in the real world until they have the power of the pen in politics, but not in real life.
00:46:34.000I mean, you look at both of these guys that are in the race now, Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron, they've never had a job outside of politics.
00:46:55.000We want to give something back to Kentuckians that are like us, that are fighting every day to live the American dream.
00:47:03.000And look, as an entrepreneur, you get hit every which way, whether it be from the SEC, whether it be from big government, more taxes, all the things that can go wrong when you're building a business.
00:47:14.000When you got to make payroll on Friday and sign those paychecks, sometimes it's very, very difficult.
00:47:20.000And you got to fight every day to make sure that your employees have got health care, they've got the things that they need for their families.
00:47:27.000And I don't think there's anything better that you can do for somebody than to give them a job and give them opportunity.
00:47:34.000I've created thousands of jobs in my career.
00:47:37.000And again, in a very, very tough industry.
00:47:39.000I know, Don, you're a fan of the Sopranos.
00:47:41.000You know, the trash business is probably the roughest business in the world, occupied by the roughest people.
00:47:48.000And we were known as the disruptor in the Tony Soprano industry.
00:47:51.000And I think that's the kind of toughness we need in Washington, D.C. to go and shake it up and stand with MAGA and stand with your father to get his agenda done.
00:48:01.000Now, you've said that basically the future of Western civilization is online regarding the fight over the border and mass deportations.
00:48:37.000And we've lost our border, and we've lost the ability to protect Western civilization when you don't have a border.
00:48:44.000So it is America's responsibility, I believe, for our sovereignty, our people, for Western theology, Western civilization.
00:48:54.000We're going to lose it if we don't keep our border and we don't do everything we can to deport these 20 million illegals that have invaded our country.
00:49:02.000We've got to stand strong because now is when it counts the most.
00:49:06.000And for the last 40 years, when Mitch McConnell's been in power, he could have fixed it.
00:49:53.000Our judges are not there to carry out a political agenda.
00:49:56.000They're not there to carry political water and score points for politicians.
00:50:01.000And just because they don't like an administration, like we're seeing with your father, which is so unfortunate, that we've got a lot of these judges.
00:50:09.000And by the way, a lot of these are the ones that Mitch McConnell takes credit for, these Rhino judges that have slipped through the cracks that are trying to hold the MAGA agenda hostage.
00:50:19.000And if they don't get the message, they need to be defunded.
00:50:22.000And if that doesn't work, they're going to have to be impeached.
00:50:25.000Yeah, not only is he not helpful on the Senate side of things, but he seems to be encouraging this kind of behavior, not going with, again, what I would imagine the vast majority of Kentuckians are all in favor of these kinds of things and the MAGA policy.
00:50:38.000And I can only tell that because we've won the states with some of the biggest margins of any state in America.
00:51:40.000But I think for working and average families, I think he speaks to them to say, I'm going to stop ingesting all these toxins, all this bad stuff.
00:51:48.000We saw another example of this in East Palestine when your father went out there that were the forgotten Americans just because of maybe the way they looked or the location that they were in our country, That they didn't get the protection they need.
00:52:02.000And I see a lot of these challenges in East Kentucky.
00:52:35.000I'd say, you know, at its core, public service should be about improving the quality of people's lives.
00:52:41.000How does that drive your mission and your campaign going forward now that you're announcing?
00:52:47.000Look, I think about all the opportunity, Don, I've been given.
00:52:50.000And I think about the public school teachers I've had, ministers, coaches, people that have helped me along the way.
00:52:57.000And we all stand on the shoulders of somebody else who's helped us.
00:53:01.000And I've been very fortunate to live the American dream here in Kentucky.
00:53:05.000And I want to fight for families like mine.
00:53:08.000And I believe the working class, the people like my family that work in the auto plant, they have been left behind until your father came along to say, we're going to empower you.
00:54:32.000Because obviously in Kentucky, whether it should or shouldn't, I'd say it shouldn't anymore because he doesn't deserve to have the power or the credibility that he does anymore.
00:54:43.000I think that probably holds true with the average voter.
00:54:46.000But with the political machines in the state and in D.C. that are going to be funding a lot of these things, that's still going to be an issue.
00:54:56.000Look, Don, as you know, I've been very aggressive in my rhetoric against the McConnell machine, against his policies, against the sabotage of your father's agenda.
00:55:07.000And I've been the only one that's actually been as aggressive as we have.
00:55:25.000We're going to ride that horse as long as we can.
00:55:27.000And you're going to see more and more of these establishment of figures move from Daniel Cameron to Andy Barr because they believe that's their best chance.
00:55:35.000And there's going to be lots of pearl clutching because of the rhetoric we're going to have against Mitch, Mitch and his boys, both of these guys.
00:55:42.000And I think that this race is going to be very, very simple.
00:55:46.000It's a referendum on Mitch McConnell's record.
00:55:48.000It's a referendum on Mitch McConnell's legacy.
00:55:51.000And you've got two McConnellites that owe everything to Mitch McConnell versus the outside business guy that's running as the MAGA candidate.
00:55:59.000And I think that contrast is going to be very, very striking to Kentuckians all over the state because they've had enough.
00:56:22.000And this is what it takes to fight for the average Kentuckian and to finally give this seat back to the people and give it back to the people that have been waiting for generations to have representation that's ready to fight for them in Washington.
00:56:50.000Even if you can just give a dollar, we need your help and we need your investment in this race because it's going to take everything we have to defeat the McConnell machine once and for all and give this seat back to the people where it belongs.
