Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Charlie, it's great to be with you, and I appreciate all the love on social media. And we had a fantastic day yesterday at CPAC. I started my discussion with the news that Mitch McConnell was retiring. And as you know, this is a big moment for Kentuckians. Mitch McConnell has been in the Senate for nearly 40 years. And we we need change.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
And we we have a chance for the first time in a generation to rip control back to the people that Mitch McConnell has been strangleholding, our people, his cronies and the people around him. And this is a chance to get it right and have a fresh start. Obviously, I'm an outsider, Charlie. I'm a businessman. I'm an entrepreneur. I've never held elected office before.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
I was in one of the toughest industries in the world, which is the trash business, the Tony Soprano industry. And I know how to fight and I know how to get tough. And obviously, this is something that I'm taking a look at.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Well, I think first and foremost, I'm an outsider, Charlie, and I've been inspired by President Trump. He's a business guy. He wasn't a politician. Obviously, I'm very close to our new vice president, J.D. Vance, very inspired by his leadership and what he's doing with the country.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
And I feel like as an entrepreneur and someone that's created jobs, built a company starting with $10,000 on a credit card, and I ended up taking that company public on the New York Stock Exchange. I've got a lot that I can bring to Washington and bring the fight to the swamp. And that's what's compelled me to say, hey, I got to take a look at this and this this might be the moment to do it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Well, I think first and foremost, the border crisis, Charlie. I mean, we've seen our borders been out of control for many years. And politicians on both sides of the aisle failed to secure our border for decades now. We've got to get it right. And if we lose our border, we lose our country.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
And I also think that the news that's coming out of Europe, the blank checks that have been going to Ukraine have got to stop. We've got to end these senseless wars. We've got to win through strength, but we've got to have a commitment to peace at all costs.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
And do it the way that great diplomats have done it in the past and use our leverage like President Trump is doing by exerting as much leverage as a dealmaker and getting the best deal for the country.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Hey, Nate Morris here. I'm standing live here at CPAC. I just heard the news that Mitch McConnell is retiring. One of the things that we cannot have in Kentucky is another puppet for Mitch McConnell. The candidates that are looking at this race, Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron, have refused to call out Mitch McConnell for the sabotage of President Trump's agenda.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
We cannot have a Mitch McConnell puppet filling his seat. This is a seat that belongs to the people, and we need to send someone to Washington who's gonna fight with President Trump.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Absolutely. President Trump has iconic status in Kentucky, and we love President Trump. His leadership has inspired many. But right now, Charlie, we've got a real crisis potentially in this race shaping up. We've got two solely owned subsidiaries of McConnell Inc., and Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron that are looking at this race.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Daniel, you know, as you know, just announced yesterday that he'd be getting in the race. And that's another reason to say as an outsider, I've got to step up potentially and do something and get involved because we cannot have McConnell Inc. continuing to have their grasp on Kentucky.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Well, first off, they're both very nice men, both of them. But I will say there's a stark contrast. And, you know, someone like Daniel Cameron is the son Mitch McConnell never had. And he has made his entire career through McConnell Inc.,

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
And Andy Barr, there was a clip that went viral a few days ago on social media calling Mitch McConnell his mentor, is a 50-plus-year-old man calling Mitch McConnell his mentor. So I think that the contrast... of what we need today is not a rubber stamp for Mitch McConnell, not McConnell 2.0, not another 40 years of Mitch McConnell. We've got to take a different track.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
We know the direction we've been going in Kentucky with who we sent to the Senate, and this seat has not worked. And we've seen evidence of that over the last few weeks, as Mitch McConnell has done everything he can to sabotage President Trump's agenda.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Well, Charlie, I got pretty good at taking out garbage and cleaning up messes. And I think that's that's probably where I'd start in Washington. But look, I'm proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian. I grew up in a single parent home. Most of my family were factory workers at the Ford plant in Kentucky. And I bring a unique perspective.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
I grew up going to union halls and I'm a new kind of Republican that's focused on the working class and focused on the American worker. And that's what we need in Kentucky. Someone that's not going to forget the hardworking people of our Commonwealth and the jobs that they have to do and giving them more opportunity to make a better life for themselves. And I'm a product of that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
I had so many people help me And I feel like there's going to come a day where I've got to give something back and help some others as well.

Hello Kash Patel, Goodbye Mitch McConnell
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
