Peter Welch (5:59)

Kash Patel is a crown jewel in this lawless rampage. He's an instrument of Donald Trump's effort to destroy the Justice Department and the FBI so that he is absolutely and completely, not only above the law, but beyond the law.

Charlie Kirk (6:21)

Kash Patel, mark my words, will cause evil in this building behind us. And Republicans who vote for him will rue that day. Can we just get a still image of Peter Welch on screen, please? I mean, you want to talk about someone that has no presence? This guy looks like a retired professor from France who they just picked up on the side of the street. Do you hate Cash Patel? Yes. What are your qualifications? None. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. No, no, no. Get the one of him with the beret. One of him outside the FBI building. This is what they got. This is what we're up against. This is the resistance brought to you by Peter Welch. Yeah, get that image there. That's. Want to talk? Lacking a little presence there. Look, I mean, you got the octogenarian resistance that you got. You got. You got the 85 year old strong, you got Dick Blumenthal, you got Peter Welch. One thing the Democrats are right about is that fundamental change is coming to the FBI. Fundamental change. Business as usual is over. No more is the FBI going to be inverted against the American people. This is a seismic end to lawfare. Seismic. We campaigned on this. We talked about this. And they know that all of the dirty, evil deeds that was done largely by people like Adam Schiff, and this is the most important thing. One of the disappointing outcomes of the 2024 election is, unfortunately, Adam Schiff is a senator. But remember this. Adam Schiff and Kash Patel have been dueling against each other for, well, almost a decade, I would say. Over a decade. Almost a decade. Adam Schiff and Kash Patel are arch enemies. Why? Well, Adam Schiff was the one that was the driving legislative force behind Russiagate. Adam Schiff was the one that went on TV and said that there was credible evidence that Donald Trump was a compromised Russian agent. And Cash Patel was the staffer for Devin Nunez, former prosecutor. Without him, we never would have known about the FISA war and abuse, and we never would have gotten to the bottom of Russia Gate. So Adam Schiff knows who Kash Patel is because Kash Patel revealed Adam Schiff to be a pathological snake liar. And Adam Schiff should be worried. US Senators will not be exempt from this kind of racketeering operation. Play cut 262.

Daisy (8:42)

This is someone we cannot trust. This is someone who lacks the character to do this job. Someone who lacks the integrity to do this job. And no one is a bigger or more dangerous sycophant than Kash Patel. This political hack does not deserve to be in this building. Our Republican colleagues, intimidated by this president and threats of primary challenges from MAGA world, may vote to confirm him. But as my colleagues have said, they will have to live with that vote, be accountable for that vote.

Charlie Kirk (9:18)

I mean, do you want to see why we're drawing 2,000 kids at a liberal campus? This is what they have. This is their team. You got Danang, Dick Blumenthal. You got the retired professor, the beret man, Peter Welch, and you got Adam Schiff, who very well might be a criminal. Might be. Elon Musk responded to our tweet saying, Adam Schiff is a criminal. He's done some very dark deeds. The Adam Schiff Cash Patel duel has now resulted in Cash Patel being director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And the investigators will be investigated. And if they did something wrong, they'll be held accountable. The FBI has been behind almost every dark arts operation against the American people and. And against Donald Trump. They are the ones that raided Mar A Lago. They are the ones that illegally spied on Donald Trump's campaign. They are the ones that were the shock and awe troops against James O'Keefe and Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. And now that very same organization is controlled by one of the finest patriots we have, Kash Patel. Hey, Charlie, Kirk here.

Peter Welch (11:33)

Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in the last 250 years. And what broke that we're going to talk about right now is Adam Schiff met with a whistleblower. Adam Schiff went to the podium day after day after day saying, I know nothing about this. We're not going to discuss it. We're going to protect it. And then he, Adam Schiff led the prosecution of the impeachment trial in the Senate of President Donald Trump. Talk about someone who was conflicted out of the game because he was part of the hoax that brought Sharmella in, manufactured that false accusation and then peddled it out to the world. And he continued, you know, not surprising. He's lied about almost everything in his life, life. But now he lied just to set up a presidential impeachment. And that's what I was talking about.

Charlie Kirk (12:19)

These disinformation campaigns understand that lie set up a presidential impeachment. It was a prerequisite for one of the impeachment attempts against Donald Trump where he was impeached in the House and then acquitted in the Senate. Representative Madeleine Dean has some choice words. Play cut 257.

Madeleine Dean (12:39)

I call upon the leaders to recognize that Kash Patel does not have the character, the integrity, the understanding and respect.

Charlie Kirk (12:48)

For the rule of law.

Madeleine Dean (12:50)

He doesn't have the capacity. What he has asked for is retribution and he has called for it over and over again against, let me see here. He wants to come after any anti Trump conspirators. I suppose that might even include me since I served on the second impeachment as one of the managers. A sad solemn honor that I had.

Charlie Kirk (13:12)

The Democrats are starting to lose it because they know what a properly run FBI can be. And it's time for us to reform it top to bottom. There are a lot of unprosecuted crimes in this country. The FBI should be focused on three or four things, primarily. Number one, anything to do with the Mexican drug cartels. That's number one. Number two, violent crime in the streets of our country, Chicago, Houston, wherever there is federal jurisdiction in the administration of this crime. We need the FBI involved liberate these cities. Number three is any sort of international drug rings, Chinese Communist Party spies. We need to get them removed from the nation. And then number four, and probably most importantly out of all the different things is we must fire every FBI agent that was involved in the creation of the FBI being a surveillance operation and a lawfare machine. Now understand this, understand that the FBI has been far off course really since J. Edgar Hoover which was around its charter. The FBI did some very suspicious things in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The key issue is trust. And it's very interesting. They'll joke in the fb, not joke, but the FBI is of course the Federal Bureau of Investigation. But they'll also say what does FBI stand for? And I believe it's fortitude, bravery and integrity. I can't remember what the F stands for. Bravery and integrity I think are the other ones. There has not been integrity of the FBI for quite some time. Christopher Wray has lived above the law and remember who his predecessor was, James Comey, who probably broke federal law multiple times lying to Congress and was using the FBI when they sent Peter Strokstroke smirk. Let me think about this. Almost eight years. That's right. Eight years to the day of this week. Right around this period of time our FBI was sending FBI agents Peter Strzok to go entrap Patriot Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. And eight years later we have Cash Patel running the FBI. We crawled out, we crawled out of a very deep hole. They wanted to take out our movement via a secret police. That's what we were up against. We were up against a taxpayer funded secret police. We were in the abyss. They controlled everything. And only a citizen people, focused, grassroots, bottom up reclamation project could make that happen. And understand these, the FBI. There's so much DEI transgender nonsense. There's a lot that Kash Patel has to rip out. There's a lot of people that should not be agents there that are currently agents. A lot of people that are agents there that shouldn't be agents. So it's going to require years of removing this cancer, removing this tumor. But eight years later we go from the FBI, literally the FBI walking through the Trump White House uninvited and entrapping the National Security Advisor. Eight years later, Kash Patel is running the FBI. Making America great again starts with making America healthy again. Charlie Kirk here. I lost 40 pounds with the PhD weight loss and nutrition program and two years later I haven't gained a pound back. I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule. Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier. So why is Big Pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite. They have harmful side effects and lifelong dependency. Take a natural approach that isn't connected to a Big pharma bottom line. PhD changes the way you think about food. They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule. You'll learn to quiet cravings and finally release the unhealthy belly fat. You won't be hungry and you'll never take medic to schedule your one on one consultation or visit myphdweightloss.com that is myphdweightloss.com 864-644-1900 before we welcome our next guest, I just want to riff a little bit on this. Yesterday we got the great news that Mitch McConnell is not running for reelection. Not a huge surprise. Mitch McConnell has announced he will not be seeking reelection in 2026. Cash is in. Mitch is out. Now, when politicians die or leave the national stage, now that's a time to be charitable. So we'll concede this point. Mitch McConnell blocking Merrick Garland was a great deed. We gotta be honest. It was the best thing he ever did. It possibly got Donald Trump elected. And can you imagine Garland, the guy who just did four years of lawfare for Biden on the Supreme Court for life? It would have been unimaginably awful. Blocking that nomination was McConnell's doing, and we're grateful for that. Well, we got that out of the way. Everything else has been a pile of garbage ever since. In his last act, he has now voted against Bobby Kennedy, for HHS Secretary, against Tulsi Gabbard, against Pete Hegseth. Mitch McConnell has been a cheerleader for the endless stream of money for the in the Russian Ukrainian war. He's the old breed of maximal interventionism. He wanted forever war in Afghanistan, forever war in Iraq, unlimited money for Zelensky and Ukraine. He's a man trapped in the past, trapped in a time when American wealth and power seemed unlimited. But that era is past, and thanks to men like Mitch McConnell, who threw our strength away on useless conflicts that hurt the country on behalf of foreign oligarchs and a narrow CABAL In Washington, D.C. it was Republicans like Mitch McConnell who spent decades talking a big game about securing the border, but never actually did anything about it unless it was a chance to do a backdoor Amnesty for millions of illegals. It was Republicans like McConnell who let DEI rot slowly destroy our military until it lost wars to the Taliban and Houthi rebels. It was Republicans like McConnell who sat around while our manufacturing base was redomiciled away to China. So we should ask ourselves, what has the reign of Mitch McConnell been like for the people of Kentucky? Well, it's not good. And joining us now is someone who might be running for the U.S. senate. See, he's getting a lot of attention and a lot of chatter. I like what I'm seeing. I like a lot of it. And that is the chairman of Morris Industries and possible candidate for U.S. senate in Kentucky, Nate Morris. Nate, great to meet you here on the program. Please introduce yourself to our audience.

Nate Morris (19:40)

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 strangle holding 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.

Charlie Kirk (20:38)

So let's, let's kind of talk more about the McConnell mafia. You have, you have spared no punch. You've basically pulled no punches. And McConnell has run Kentucky for multiple decades. How will you be profoundly different than what the McConnell hunter has done to Kentucky?

Nate Morris (20:58)

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.

Charlie Kirk (21:39)

What are the top issues that you think are facing the people of Kentucky that the prior leadership oligarchy has not been addressing?

Nate Morris (21:46)

Well, I think first and foremost, the border crisis, Charlie. I mean, we've seen our border has 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. 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 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 deal maker and getting the best deal for the country.

Charlie Kirk (22:36)

So I want to. I want to talk more. Let's actually play cut 280, a message that you gave at CPAC. Let's play cut 280.

Nate Morris (22:43)

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. We cannot have a Mitch McConnell filling his seat. This is a seat that belongs to the people, and we need to send someone to Washington who's going to fight with President Trump.

Charlie Kirk (23:17)

And Kentucky is one of the reddest states in the country, is it not?

Nate Morris (23:20)

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 own subsidiaries of McConnell, Inc. And Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron that are looking at this race. 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, and get involved, because we cannot have McConnell, Inc. Continuing to have their grasp on Kentucky.

Charlie Kirk (23:57)

So, yeah, I mean, there's Andy Barr who actually called me over the weekend, and he wants to talk. I don't know him very well. I know that he lost his wife tragically and that was terrible. A couple. And Daniel Cameron, who I've only met once or twice. Just educate our audience because this is a very important thing. We don't want another member of the McConnell mafia going to the Senate. I have nothing negative to say about either one of these guys. Andy. I'll call back, I guess. So tell me more like what exactly do these people stand for and what is disturbing about it? And so just educate the audience on the significance of the seat.

Nate Morris (24:30)

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. And Andy Barr. There's a clip that went viral a few days ago on social media calling Mitch McConnell his mentor is a, 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. We know the direction we've been going in Kentucky with who we sent to the Senate in 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.

Charlie Kirk (25:26)

That is well said. Closing thoughts here. Nate, I mean, you're an outsider. You're thinking about getting into this race and understand the significance of it. The people of Kentucky are some of the greatest. I had an aunt there. She actually just passed away a couple weeks ago. It was terrible. I actually was in Louisville a couple weeks ago. I love the people of Kentucky. They're wonderful patriots. I think they deserve better. I think they deserve better than a warmongering, sending money overseas, open border, performative Republican. And instead they want a true fighter. Just talk more about what you're weighing and I mean, you've built a really incredible business and this would be a serious life change for you, would it not?

Nate Morris (26:07)

Well, Charlie, I got pretty good at taking out garbage and cleaning up messes and I think 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. 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 hard working 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. 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.

Charlie Kirk (26:57)

Nate, can't wait to see what you do. It is time for the McConnell era to end and you seem like a great guy. Let us know what happens and we will not tolerate a McConnell disciple, a member of that mafia to be the U.S. senator. We won't put up with that. Thanks so much, Nate.

Nate Morris (27:13)

Thank you, Charlie.

Charlie Kirk (27:14)

Look, this is very important guys. The, this is the end of an old guard. It is the collapsing of a regime. McConnell was doing the bidding of Biden and his foreign policy aims and ambitions for quite some time. You gotta be fair though. For whatever reason, maybe it was the holy spirit or just McConnell showed us what he did with Merrick Garland. You gotta be fair. Was, was a cause set in motion. That was good. That was the best McConnell ever. Everyone has a moment in their career that was very good. And then from there it was just all downhill. It was when he peaked, it was peak McConnell was when he decided not to fill that Supreme Court vacancy. And from there it's just been this collision course. In fact, senators have told me that McConnell even when asked, hey Mitch, we really need your vote. We really need your vote. No, he just walks out of the room. He's become a very bitter person. His whole life was about holding onto political power and now he's losing that. And he's just going to be remembered as a complete disgrace, a sellout to the people of Kentucky. No to Pete Hegseth, no to Tulsi, no to Bobby Kennedy. A terrible legacy. And the people of Kentucky deserve a lot better. And for those of you in Kentucky, I want to hear from you. Who do you guys want for the U.S. senate? Do you guys want more of the same? Do you want a McConnell junta member or do we want a change maker? Someone that is going to actually represent the values of the phenomenal state of Kentucky, one of the greatest states of Kentucky, I think. And Blake can fact check me on it. Kentucky has the most. There's this term for it, like rivers or running water of any state, like the most streams. It's a beautiful state. Kentucky's gorgeous. Lot of the next generation is drowning in student loan debt and you guys very well might be one of them. If you have private student loan debt, listen carefully. Yrefi is not a debt settlement organization or company, but they work with each borrower individually tailoring each loan to each specific situation.

Yrefi refinances, distressed or even defaulted private student loans that others won't dare to touch. Can you imagine being debt free and not living under this burden anymore? Do you want to be unburdened by what has been? If you are a student loan borrower, go to yrefi.com youm got to check it out right now. Yrefy.com they're huge supporters of our campus tour, for example of America Fest. That's yrefy.com yrefi.com we only play this music when we talk about El Rushbow, the doctor of democracy, the greatest ever. We only this music is sacred. It is holy. We only play it when we are doing a hat tip to the trailblazer himself, my friend Scott Hennan. I was on his program this morning, reminded me this was to the week. I want you guys to remember this music, but I have so many memories. It's like all coming back at me. It's like listening to songs of your youth. That song right there where El Rushba would come on with a talent on loan from God, with half his brain tied behind his back. Just to make it fair. Four years ago, Rush Limbaugh passed away. We were in political exile. I'm using this as an opportunity to show you how far we have come, everybody, and how much gratitude we should express to our Lord and our Savior, to the Almighty, to the Divine Providence. Not only did Joe Biden become president, but then we lose Rush. Donald Trump was in exile. Our entire movement was in darkness and we were without our north star, our guiding light, the great L. Rushbow. We needed Rush. During that period of time. We were aimless and we as a movement weren't sure where to go. The great El Rush, Bo, time and time again during the times of Obama, led us through it. During the times of the first Trump term, led us through it, led us through the impeachments, led us through Kavanaugh. Rush was the fulcrum, he was the trailblazer, he was the trendsetter, he was the pacemaker. It's almost like God put all that burden of that time on the back of a new generation, focusing us to own it, to get strong. It was on us, and it was heavy. So I was subpoenaed by the January 6th committee. We had Lawfare coming in every possible direction. It was dark. And now today doesn't look as dark. Now today we are looking around at the victory that Rush made possible. Understand? Doge, Elon, Rubio, Besant, Hegseth, Trump, JD all follow in the footsteps of the great Rush Limbaugh. Four years ago to this week, he passed away. Here's just a montage of one of Rushed Rush's broadcasts. Before I play that one, actually, that's one of my favorite Rush statements. Understand what he was saying here was so ahead of his time. This is before woke political crankiness. He was so ahead of his time. Play cut 279.

Rush Limbaugh (32:35)

I because I'm wearing these ribbons, I care more than any of you about anything. And these ribbons say so. I want you people sitting at home and you people in the audience look down at your lapel right now. I want you to do this. Put the camera back on me. Do this. When you look down, what. What do you see? You don't see anything because you're not wearing any ribbons. It means you're a bigot. It means you're a racist. It means you're a sexist. It means you're a homophobe. It probably means you're a white guy. It probably means you're a European. And you and you alone are responsible for all the ills of America. But I'm not, because I'm wearing these ribbons. I care more than you.

Charlie Kirk (33:20)

This was 20 years ahead of the virtue signaling, political correctness, bend the knee, mandatory woke stuff. He understood the optics. He was funny, he was charming, he was lighthearted, and he was wicked smart. He was on top of all of it early. He saw it all with clarity across the landscape. He wasn't crazy. He was early. And they tried to take him out. Cancel culture came for Rush many times. Remember Sandra Fluke? They tried to take him out, and Rush held the line, never apologizing. Montage one of Rush's last broadcast play cut 283.

Kash Patel (33:53)

My point in all of this today is gratitude. My. My point in everything today that I share with you about this is to say thanks and to tell everybody involved how much I love you from the bottom of a sizable and growing and still beating heart. I wasn't expected to be alive today. You have an expiration date. A lot of people never get told that. And so they, they don't face life this way. I've learned what love really is during this.

Charlie Kirk (34:29)

And his last words on Radio 285.

Kash Patel (34:32)

The odds are that there are a lot of people, coal miners, a lot of people voted for Biden who had no idea what he's going to do and what's yet to come. That's why I say they're gonna overstep and it isn't gonna take them long and it isn't gonna be pretty when all kinds of people start to figure it out. He didn't start it, but he'll be happy to finish it.

Charlie Kirk (34:57)

He saw it all. God bless you, Rush. We're in a much better time in America. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us. As always, freedomarliekirk.com thanks so much for listening and God bless. For more on many of these stories.
