Well, look, Charlie, Mitch McConnell has had a stranglehold on Kentucky politics for the last 40 years. Now, keep in mind, when Mitch McConnell got to office, we didn't have the Internet. The Internet had not been invented. President Ronald Reagan was in power. I mean, think about that for a minute. I was four years old when Mitch McConnell came to office.
And what I would say, Charlie, is what does Mitch McConnell really know about the small business owners, the people that are trying to make it in the new economy, the people that are trying to innovate, the people that are trying to live the American dream? And their American dream was taken for them by the elites.
You know, Charlie, I'm proud that 19 of my family members worked in an auto plant in Louisville. and proud UAW members. We built cars for a living. That's what my family did. And when folks got outsourced or people lost their job, we knew who they were. We knew their families. We knew the impact.
And we've had these elites and this ruling class that with the push of a button, they've sent their jobs overseas. And so many young men, especially that I see, They feel left out of this economy and they don't know how to participate. They don't know how to get back in the game because they saw their father or their grandfather lose their job generations ago and it hasn't come back.
And so I think number one is we've got to have a path to the American dream for every Kentuckian and have somebody that's connected at the ground level to say, I've lived it, you know, starting a business with $10,000 on a credit card and taking my company public and I've lived the dream, and I want every Kentuckian to have access to that dream as well.
Look, I think the tariffs are fantastic because you know what, Charlie? We're finally using our economic might to get the best deal. And it's taken a business leader like President Trump to be able to say, we've got all this leverage. And why have we been squandering this leverage and not using our economic might to work out the best deal possible?
And all these other countries have been ripping off America, ripping off the American worker. And it's time we put the American worker first. And I think this is what this is all about, Charlie. And I can tell you, I'm really proud that the United Auto Workers in particular have have really been so supportive of President Trump and what he's doing.
This is my family, the folks that work in the auto plant. Kentucky is a big auto state, Charlie. This is very, very important to us. And we manufacture better than anybody in the United States. I'm so proud of what we build right here in Kentucky. And I also think, Charlie, that as a matter of national security, we have to make stuff in this country.
If we get into times of conflict or times of crisis, we got to have the infrastructure in this country to not only build the things that protect our nation, but also protect our people. And I think that's what President Trump has made this all about. And I'm 100 percent behind the president in what he's doing.
Well, Charlie, I'm so proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian. I was raised by a single mother right here in the Commonwealth. 19 of my family members worked in an auto plant, as I mentioned. I come from a working class blue collar home. I was lucky enough to get scholarships to get a great education.
And I started a business with about $10,000 on a credit card, ended up taking that company public at $2 billion on the New York Stock Exchange in the industry of waste. And I think it's time, Charlie, that we take out the garbage in Washington, D.C., time to take out the trash. And I think we need someone who's a disruptor, someone that's an outsider. I'm not a career politician.
I've never run for office. But I'm so inspired by my friend J.D. Vance, all the progress that he's making every day to fight for the working person in D.C. And he's got me inspired. And that's why I'm taking a look at this race. And I think it's time. that we have a complete and utter change for Mitch McConnell. And the two guys that are in this race right now, they're going to be McConnell 2.0.
And it's time that we break that cycle of career politicians and send somebody to Washington who can shake things up.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
