Overview:

In this episode, Aaron Parnas delivers the latest on the status of Senator Mitch McConnell as rumors and concerns about his health continue to swirl.

Key Discussion Points & Insights:

1. Mitch McConnell’s Health and Absence

• Aaron highlights that McConnell has been recovering at home with the support of multiple health aides, after a serious health incident two months ago.
• No clear information has been provided by McConnell’s staff, his aides, or his office regarding his actual medical status or prognosis.
• The absence is stark: “Kentucky does not have a senator right now.”
  — Aaron Parnas, 00:55
• The speculated August 3rd deadline for Governor Andy Beshear to call a special election has passed, but Beshear claims it wasn’t a real deadline.
• Aaron is skeptical McConnell will return to the Senate when the recess ends in September:
  “I don’t know that Mitch McConnell will ever step foot in the United States Senate again. Based on what I’m about to talk about.”
  — Aaron Parnas, 01:48

2. In-Home Caregiving: Confirmation and Significance

• Reporting from the Scene: Nicholas Ballazzi, another reporter, visits McConnell’s home and speaks directly with a caregiver arriving to work an overnight shift.

  • Notable dialogue:

    Reporter 1: Are you a friend of the family?  
    Home Caregiver: No, I am a home caregiver. (02:21)
    

    “She is staying the night, which means that McConnell apparently now likely requires an in home caregiver overnight. That’s an important development…”
    — Aaron Parnas, 03:26
  • The caregiver appears nervous and evasive, leaving the house quickly after her shift.

• Aaron’s Position:
  “I’m a big believer that any member of Congress should not serve in the United States Congress if they require an in home caregiver to take care of them. At a point you have to say, okay, I just physically can’t serve any longer.”
  — Aaron Parnas, 01:16

3. Stonewalling by McConnell’s Aides

• McConnell staffers repeatedly refuse to answer questions about the Senator’s health or future plans.
  • Notable exchange:

    Reporter 1: Do you think he should release a video to the public? … Do you have anything to say about his condition, how he seems?  
    (No answer from staffer) (05:25-06:25)
    

• Aaron points out that McConnell’s congressional staff are drawing sizable public salaries while not providing transparency.

4. TMZ & Carriage House Intrigue: Thom Tillis’s Presence

• TMZ footage captured Senator Thom Tillis entering a small carriage house on the McConnell property.
  • Tillis confirms:
    “It’s a Senate member who happens to live in a carriage house.”
    — Tom Tillis, 07:48
  • Clarifies he’s renting from McConnell after selling his condo in March.
• An unidentified man was also seen entering Tillis’s garage and later leaving with bags labeled with Elaine Chao’s name (McConnell’s spouse), raising further questions about comings and goings at the property.
  • Reporter 2 tries to get information from the man, who offers nothing and departs quickly, mirroring the secrecy seen with McConnell’s caregivers and staff. (08:19–08:38)

5. Broader Political Implications

• The senator’s continued absence and lack of transparency have practical consequences—Kentucky remains effectively senator-less, and federal funds continue to be disbursed to McConnell and his aides.
• The media scrutiny is dwindling:
  “I feel like I’m one of the only reporters who is constantly staying on this...”
  — Aaron Parnas, 01:31

  — Aaron Parnas, 06:26

Transcript

[Aaron]

We are back on Mitch McConnell watch once again. I visited his home as I have done repeatedly visiting him at his hospital, his rehab facility and now his home. Before you say anything, I'm not going to show you his home. Don't worry, I'm not doing that. But what I am going to do is talk about how no one wants to give clear answers because the latest in the Mitch McConnell saga is he now has multiple home help aides, health aides who are coming in and out of his home, who are likely supporting the United States senator from Kentucky as he recovers from his traumatic health incident two months ago. Now, his aides refused to answer any questions. Still, Kentucky does not have a sender right now. And I think that's the major story. We're past that August 3rd date where many thought that that was the deadline for a Andy Bashir, the governor of Kentucky, to call a special election. He says it's not a deadline. I tend to agree with him based on the law. But now we have a missing senator and it comes as the United States Senate is on its August recess. They're coming back in September. I don't know that Mitch McConnell will ever step foot in the United States Senate again. Based on what I'm about to talk about, make sure to hit that subscribe button. We're on the road to a million subscribers. Like Comment Share. I feel like I'm one of the only reporters who is constantly staying on this. There are a couple others, but unfortunately, the story has just fallen off the wayside. And in the meantime, McConnell's collecting a paycheck. Your taxpayer dollars are going directly into his direct deposit. Thousands of dollars a month. He's not anywhere near the United States Senate. And the question is, what is going on with Mitch McConnell? Well, first up, we do have confirmation now that McConnell has an in home caregiver. An in home caregiver who is essentially treating the senator. It appears as though. Now, here's the thing. I'm a big believer that any member of Congress should not serve in the United States Congress if they require an in home caregiver to take care of them. At a point you have to say, okay, I just physically can't serve any longer. And well, now Nicholas Balazzi, who's been another reporter on this, went to McConnell's home and filmed this. I want you to look.

[Reporter 1]

Are you, are you a friend of the family? Are you a friend of the family?

[Home Caregiver]

No, I am a home care, home care giver.

[Reporter 1]

Okay. Have you been here before?

[Home Caregiver]

No, it's my first time.

[Reporter 1]

All right.

[Home Caregiver]

But I can know.

[Reporter 1]

I think so. Do you stay overnight?

[Aaron (Ad Segment)]

Yes.

[Reporter 1]

You're in home, so you stay from now on, huh? You stay from now on?

[Home Caregiver]

Yeah, I stay for the night.

[Reporter 1]

Just for tonight?

[Home Caregiver]

Yes.

[Reporter 1]

Gotcha. Okay. Hi, man. How's Mr. Mcconnell doing? Does he seem like he's in? Good.

[Aaron]

So a couple interesting things there. First, coming in, the caregiver says that she is staying the night, which means that McConnell apparently now likely requires an in home caregiver overnight. That's an important development because if the senator cannot, for example, get up, go use the restroom, go do things at night by himself, and he needs a caregiver there overnight, that's a big deal. And it shows, really, the state of his current health situation. That's number one, I think. Number two is she was answering questions from Nicholas coming into the home. And then she. When she left the home, she ran into her car completely. Just ran. Ran. Now, before I continue, I do wanna quickly pause because a lot of you have asked how I protect myself when I'm reporting on topics like these. I use a company called Deleteme. Check them out.

[Aaron (Ad Segment)]

All right, we got some big news right now. I recently received a threat to myself and my family. It was real, it was scary, but thankfully I was able to make sure it did not happen again with a newborn in tow. Making sure that my family is protected is truly top of mind for me.

[Aaron]

And reporting on topics that I do

[Aaron (Ad Segment)]

often lends credence to threats, including the one I received recently to my inbox. It's why I'm continuing my partnership with Delete me. I've worked with them for many months. Delete Me has helped protect my personal information. Remove it from data brokers, websites, like third party sites, where essentially my personal information, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, et cetera would be on. They've helped wipe it and it's really helped protect me, protect my family. Because right now, with threats even greater, I truly know DeleteMe has my back. And I wanna make sure you can protect yourself, too. It's easy.

[Aaron]

Highly recommend. I love Delete me. I've used them for a long time. Now I want to get back to McConnell because his staff is refusing to answer questions as they walk into his home. Take a listen.

[Reporter 1]

Ma', am, can you tell us anything about the senator's condition? Do you think he should release a video to the public? Why hasn't he done that? Yet just a short video to talk to the public and address them. When do you think he'll be able to return? Do you think he'll return by September? Do you. Do you have anything to say about his condition, how he seems. No comment at all for the public. A lot of people are wondering what's going on and when.

[Aaron]

Holding back now, mind you, these staffers are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I believe that was Mitch McConnell's director of operations, and they refused to answer any questions about the senator or what he's up to. Now, I do want to talk about an interesting development that we've seen because TMZ recently caught the fact there is a small carriage house behind Mitch McConnell's main house, that small carriage house they caught a North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis, walking into. Now, according to TMZ and according to Tillis, that he apparently rents that carriage house from McConnell. And McConnell is essentially Thom Tillis's landlord. Now we have a new video showing that a man is actually entering Tom Tillis's garage. And the question is, why is this man going in the garage? Take a look here to see.

[Reporter 2]

Just curious about. Hello. Are you here to visit tom tillis? Are you here to see the senator mitch mcconnell? He is walking.

[Reporter 1]

Oh, excuse me, Tom.

[TMZ Reporter]

Sorry. Sorry to startle you from tmz. You're just visiting Mitch?

[Tom Tillis]

No, I live here.

[TMZ Reporter]

Oh, you live here? Yeah, he just got discharged.

[Tom Tillis]

What's so funny about everybody talking about all the intrigue here? It's this. It's a Senate member who happens to live in a carriage house.

[TMZ Reporter]

You live at the back of Mitch McConnell's house.

[Tom Tillis]

There's actually a separate edifice. If you see over here, it's a carriage house that he's rented out for years.

[TMZ Reporter]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Tom Tillis]

I only moved here. I sold a condo back in. In March. And I'm here.

[Aaron]

As you can see, that's Tillis. And then there was that guy walking in, and people like, who's that guy? Right. And then he was caught leaving with bags with Mitch McConnell's wife's name on it. Elaine Chao.

[Aaron (Ad Segment)]

Take a Look.

[Reporter 2]

Senator Mitch McConnell. There's anything you could tell us about him, anything he may have asked for you to tell us about him.

[Aaron]

Thank you.

[Reporter 2]

Really? Yes, sir. And it's not you, it's the senator that we're looking for. And nobody's been able to give us any answers, including himself.

[Aaron]

Apparently, those bags had Elaine Child's name on them, so lots of questions. I'm staying on the beat I'm going to continue going back and forth.
