(00:02):
to keep an open mind.

On fifty five KRC the Talk Station.

And now Kevin Golden filling in for Brian Thomas on

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Five minutes after eight o'clock, Kevin Gordon in for Brian
Thomas fifty five KR see the Talk Station.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Want to welcome to the program.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Nate Morris, CEO of Kentucky based company Morris Industries. He's
a founded and the former CEO of voice management company
Rubicon Technologies, and he is one of the kind of
getting a crowded and contentious field for the Senate race
in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell buying for the Republican nomination.
(00:55):
Welcome to the program. Nate, certainly appreciate you to spending
time with us.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Thank you, Kevin. It's great to be with you.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It's getting a little contentious out there, and so I
guess tell us about yourself and why you are the
best candidate for this office.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, Kevin, I'm so proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know, my family's been in.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Kentucky since the very beginning, and I'm a businessman.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm an outsider.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I've never run for office before, and over the last
forty years, we've had someone like Mitch McConnell in this
seat that has helped run this country off a cliff.
These career politicians we know have done so much damage
to America and we need people.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Coming from the outside. And that's why I got in
this race.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I said, you know, if I don't run, the two
people that were in the race, Andy Barr, Daniel Cameron.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
These are puppets of Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
We've got to have something totally different, and we've got
to have a one to eighty change. And I think
President Trump has demonstrated that when you have a business person,
an outside or someone who doesn't need the job, doesn't
need the money, that's when the country gets the results
it deserves. And I think people in Kentucky are hungry
for something totally different, and that's what this campaign's all about.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And what are you hearing from the people as you
are on the campaign trail? What is the number one
issue that they are talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Well, I think first and foremost what has come into
the purview, especially over the last thirty days, is immigration.
We know that we have been flooded with illegals. We
were invaded under Joe Biden. No one will say that
in the media, and a lot of Republicans won't even
say it, but we were invaded. We had over twenty
million people come into our country that we know nothing about.
(02:46):
And I think this Somali fraud case is just another
example of unfettered immigration coming into our country and the
damage that it can do.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And Kevin, I'm very proud I.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Was the first candidate in the United States to call
for a full moratorium on any new immigration coming into
our country until we deport every single one of these
illegals and get them out of our country. Kevin, We're
absolutely full. We can't handle anymore. And until everyone gets
assimilated and the illegals go back, we shouldn't be taking
any new people coming into our country period.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I hear that.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I don't know how practical that is, However, we need
to do something. And the fact that and we should
not allow the Democrats in particular the Liberals to get
away with the fact that they are the ones that
caused this problem. They're the ones that allowed the invasion,
and so they shouldn't be. I've heard somebody talk in
(03:47):
terms of that. You know, when you're having a party
or something like that and somebody throws up on the
rug and you're down there on your hands and knees
cleaning it up. The person that up isn't the person
to sit there and tell you how to do it.
And that's basically what the Democrats are trying to do
in terms of a fixing the economy that they broke
(04:11):
and the illegal immigration that they allowed to happen. So
I don't think they've got a leg to stand on.
And whatever policies we try to do, and I agree
that we need to make sure that those that are unvetted,
those people that we aren't don't know anything about, and
they came in here illegally, they have already broken the law.
(04:34):
I don't understand this whole idea of having to go
to court and all this word. There was no court
that brought them in. So the deportation and why the
Democrats are hanging on to this on an eighty twenty
and they're taking the twenty percent position, I don't understand
at all.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well, Kevin, I think it's really simple.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
There's two groups of people in our country that love
this invasion, love the legal immigration. First, it's the Democrats
because they're trying to change the voting population of our country.
They know that's the only way they can win on
a long term basis. They can't win on their policies,
so they're going to have to import their voters. And
this is about power for them, very simple. You know,
(05:17):
I remind people all the time when I'm campaigning that
Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, what state did they come from.
They came from California. And what's different is that California
allowed unfettered migrants, illegal immigration to happen throughout their state.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They legalize those folks, and.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
They've got a permanently blue state forever. We're never going
to see California vote for a Republican ever again because
of that. And that's the Democrats strategy all across the
United States. I think the second group, and sadly enough,
there's a lot of Rhino Republicans that love illegals because
they want cheap labor. They want to pay fifty cents
on the dollar. And you talk to folks in the
(05:53):
business community, and look, I did very well in business.
Some of the people that I meet with that I
used to meet this They're like, Nate, you know what,
what's the deal with your immigration policy. Who's going to
work in my company? Who's going to work in my factory?
I said, you need to employ legal Americans, people that
are rightfully here and that are obeying the law. And
you're breaking the law by allowing these the legals to
(06:14):
work in your company. And these people who do this,
they need to be held accountable to the fullest extent
of the law. And it's ridiculous that this has been
going on so long because it's.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
About their greed and their.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Profits before the American worker, and that's got to stop.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Now we're speaking with Nate Morris.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
He is running for a senator in the state of
Kentucky in a crowded field to replace Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know, I would carry it a step further, Nate.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You know, when you listen to these Democrats talking about
illegal immigration, one of the things that keep popping up,
and and you know you got to you got to
listen to people. They'll tell you the truth when they
start talking about who's going to pick our crops, who's
going to watch our kids, who's gonna cut our lawns
(07:00):
and this type of thing. Isn't this the same thing
that the Democrats of the South said about slavery, that
they want to have this underclass people that are not
really representative because if they're illegal, they can't vote. The
slaves weren't allowed to vote, and so that increased the
population down there, but they got the representation. I think
(07:23):
it's just another form of slavery as far as the
Democratic Party, because in my opinion, the Democratic Party is
the party of slavery, was the party of slavery, and
the Party of Jim Crow Laws and so on, Kuku
clan on down the line. I think this is just
another example of you know, you know, who's going to
pick our crops.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It sounds familiar, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That might sound a little harsh, and I don't want
to put words in your mouth, but I get when
I start talking about these things, I get a little
irritated about it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, and you know, people make this argument all the time,
but the look of it, I did very very well
picking up garbage. You know, I was a garbage man.
You know, I built one of the largest garbage companies
in the United States. And let me tell you, if
you pay, the work will come. And what's happened is
is you have a class of people in the business
(08:16):
community that have been accustomed to pay a low wage
that's way below market, and they get so angry when
they have to pay a full wage, a full freight
for their worker, and they've been accustomed to breaking the law.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I'd be like, Kevin, if you decided not to pay
your taxes for many many years. You can't do that.
And this has got to stop.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And I think it's shameful that we have people in
our own party. And I'll tell you Kevin. One of
the guys I'm running against, Andy bar he's a member
of Congress. He called me a nativist because I want
to send every illegal back. And unfortunately, he voted to
allow these Afghans to come in a few years ago,
which led to the shooting over Thanksgiving. We all saw that.
(09:01):
And he also voted to natural's over two million illegals
in our country. And these are the kind of people
that are still left in our party that are running
for the seat. And I think that is the biggest
difference about our campaign.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
We have zero tolerance. Enough is enough. You know, I
was the.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Last endorsement of Charlie Kirk. I'm so proud of that.
It's one of the great honors of my life. Charlie
and I were buddies, and he believed in this campaign.
He came to Kentucky to launch my campaign. We used
to talk all the time, this is about Western civilization.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
This just isn't about America anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
If we lose our country, we're going to lose Western civilization.
Let me tell you, I've traveled all over the world.
Garbage took me everywhere, and I spent a lot of
time in the United Kingdom. Look over there at their country.
They've lost it. It's gone, It's completely gone. And as
my friend Jadvan said, in the next decade, they will
be the first Islamic state with a nuclear weapon in
the next decade.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Thinking that started all that over there is coming here
to America. That's the same kind of stuff we're dealing with.
And that's why we got to get tough. We gotta fighters.
We got to have people that are will to put
it on the line for this country but also for
Western civilization and beat this stuff back once and for all.
Because we're to fight for our country and our culture period.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I can't agree more. We're speaking with Nate Morris.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
He is a candidate for a Senate of Republican nomination
for a Senate in the state of US Senate in
the state of Kentucky, and of course that's coming up
in the May in the primary.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So illegal immigration.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
One of the things on your platform you talk about
make America healthy again, which quite honestly, I don't hear
a lot of candidates actually bringing that up. I mean,
there's you know, there's certain things that are nuts and
bolts of this country, and it seems that people want
to kind of skim across the surface as opposed to
some of the more nuts and bolts issues. Maybe it's
(10:53):
not sexy enough, but I thought that was interesting that
that was one of the things on your list.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well, Kevin, I was so proud we were the first
US Senate candidate to run a commercial about MAHA, the
MAHA agenda and what RFK is doing to bring health
back to our focus as a country. And we know
a lot of these people and these drug companies, food companies,
they've been poisoning our people. They've been poisoning our people,
(11:22):
and no one who's had the guts to stand up
and say, you know, why is it that Americans we're
so unhealthy compared to say, our neighbors in Europe, they
don't have a lot of the same stuff over there.
And I think we've seen in Kentucky in particular, these
drug companies that have poisoned our people. I mean, it
is a tragedy. It's one of the great tragedies of
(11:43):
our country. You know. I'm so proud that my family's
originally from Morgan County, right in the heart of Appalachia,
and nobody talks about the damage that has been done
to these working class folks of our country. And they
haven't had a voice, they haven't had somebody to stand.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Up for them and fight for them.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And I think it's long overdue, especially in the United
States Senate.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That's fantastic. We need to step out for a quick
break herey, Can you hang with us through the break?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
All right. I was speaking with Nate Morris.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Senate
to replace Mitch McConnell coming up, And well, next year
there's the election. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas
fifty five KR See the talk.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Station fifty five KRC. The party's just.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Eight twenty one in the morning.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs the
talk station.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Continue our conversation with Nate.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Morris, CEO of Kentucky based company Morris Industries and a
candidate for the Republican nomination for a Senate in this
coming up primary in the spring.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Thank you for hanging with us to the break. Nate,
I certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh, you bet. It's about pleasure, right.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
One of the things you mentioned is protecting our children,
which I don't think it's enough attention. And it seems
that the left has been able to well, you know,
you mentioned you touched on something earlier about people criticizing
you or saying that you're a nativist because you want
illegal alien illegals out of this country, people that you know,
(13:23):
came in here illegally and broke the law getting here. Well,
all of a sudden they try to shame us in
terms of, oh, you know, we're protecting our children by
mutilating them for some reason or to cater to their needs.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
In terms of.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know, these puberty blockers, puberty blockers and women and
men and women's sports and so on, and it seems
that they have somehow shamed people away from taking on
that issue. But I find it interesting and refreshing that
you have it as part of your Campaignly.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I mean, we men have no place in women's sports.
We know this.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, it's absolutely ludicrous that is a country we're
even having to have that conversation. I think about what
planet have we been living on the last few years
when people have tried to normalize this nonsense. I think
the second thing is we got to protect our kids.
And the Left is trying to push this agenda on
our kids and normalize this craziness, just this crazy thinking,
(14:27):
uh and brainwash them in many ways. And you know,
it's just enough is enough, And we got to get
this crap out of our schools. We got to get
this stuff out of the public discourse. You know, school
should be about learning, It should be about getting skills
that you need.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, now there's a novel idea. I mean, you know,
it should.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Be about are we teaching our kids things that are
help them get a job and be a productive citizen.
I think it's really simple those two things, and we
need to, you know, as someone who's an entrepreneur. I mean, look, Kevin,
I started my company with ten thousand dollars on a
credit card grou it's about seven hundred million in revenue.
I got a fantastic public education thirty forty years ago.
(15:09):
But that's not what they're teaching in today's schools. They
are trying to indoctrinate our kids. They're trying to let
them see this perverse worldview of what the left is
pushing every day.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And we got to stand up and fight.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And thank goodness, President Trump has worked to abolish the
Department of Education, get it out of Washington. We know
that decisions are made best at the local level for
our kids and their education. And kids should have the
freedom to go to school where they want to go
and take their tax dollars with them wherever they so choose.
But you know this nonsense, Well.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
The Party of choice is the party of choice until
it comes to education, taxation, and everything you want to do. So, yeah,
they want to control that aspect of it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's right, that's right, And they just want full control
of us.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean, that's what it's all about on the left.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They want to control us they don't want us to
be free, and they're starting with our kids, and they're
starting very young because they know they can get a
captive audience at a young generation and they can condition
them to see their worldview, which is so perverse and
so crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You also mentioned about bringing back jobs and into the
area of what kind of proposals do you have in
terms of that, what do you where do you see
that heading?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, I'm proud that I'm the only job creator in
this race. You know, I'm running against two career politicians,
two career politicians that owe everything to Mitch McConnell. They've
never had a job outside of government. Can you believe that?
I mean absolutely crazy. I think we need people that
have signed the front of a paycheck, not just the
back of a paycheck. You know, I started my business
with nothing. You're at the hundreds of millions in revenue.
(16:55):
I've employed thousands of people over my career, and we
need creators in the United States Senate because, let's say,
it'said ninety percent of new jobs in this country come
from entrepreneurs, and not everybody's going to be an entrepreneur.
You know, nineteen to my family members worked in a
factory in Kentucky building cars. My granddad ran a local union,
(17:16):
So I understand not everybody's going to do that, but
we got to get out of the way of people
that create jobs in business and let them do what
they do best and get the government off their back.
And I think the second thing is we've got to
level the playing field. You know, America has been ripped
off for generations. You know, I saw things like NAFTA
and China entering the wto places like Kentucky and even
(17:38):
some of your listeners in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We got nothing for that.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
We got absolutely nothing for that, and they basically picked
up our manufacturing base and sent it overseas. And we
had generations that Kentuckians that lost their job permanently, you know,
including my family. And so we've got to have people
that understand the practicality of these trade measures and what
they need. And I'm proud of President Trump what he's
(18:01):
doing with the tariffs.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know, we just had a big win earlier in
the year.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
If you remember Apple coming to Kentucky spending two point
five billion dollars on a new manufacturing facility, and I
think that's one hundred percent due to Trump's tariffs. So
we got to continue to fight to level the playing
field because we've been getting ripped off a very long time.
The rest of the world's gotten very rich off of
our country, and we have got to get something for
(18:26):
the American worker and get something for our people because
they've got enough exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And the more that it is bringing back the jobs
and this stopping of these jobs flowing overseas, I mean,
whoever thought that that was a good idea? I you know,
when you boil these things down, when you look at
where some of these politicians have pushed these agendas, what
(18:52):
was in their what was in their mind? And how
did they think this was going to work out for
the American people.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I really don't know, Kevin. I don't know what they
were thinking. I think it's probably pretty simple that you
had somebody in the boardroom, some elite that got an
extra couple turns on their equity.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They made a quick buck.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Maybe they won for a few quarters, maybe they won
for a few years, but you know what, the American
worker got left hold in the bag and they're the
ones that lost, yeah, permanently.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
And it seems to me that we have this situation
where remember the mantra over the last several years of oh,
the European model for healthcare, the European model for this.
We have the you know, follow of the science and
all these type of things as far as either climate
change or the green new steel or any of this
sort of thing, and every one of those things. Europe
(19:47):
is turning away from this. They're going broke based on
the European model of socialized healthcare. But we want to
go down that path they got away from. They're getting
away from this a gender well affirming care, my butt,
this mutilization, mutilation of children, and yet we're going headlong
(20:08):
into it. I you know, it's like whenever the left
wants us to go in a direction, they give examples,
but when those examples fail, they still want to keep proceeding,
like as if we're going to do it better than them.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It just amazes me, just absolutely amazes me.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Well, first and foremost, we're America. Yeah, I don't want
anything to do with the with Europeans.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I don't want to model anything they've done. Their countries
have failed, their countries have been invaded, they lost their culture,
and they just gave it up.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
They gave it up.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Well, hey, we're up against the bottom of the hour
here and I'm getting into a hard break. I certainly
appreciate your time. And one final thought, if people want
to get in touch with you, how do they do that?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, thank you, Kevin. Please come and see me at
Datemorris dot com. Get involved in our campaign, make a donation,
follow me on X at Nate Morris, give me a
follow and look forward to the coming months of the
campaign and us being victorious in May.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Nate, I appreciate your time. I certainly appreciate your time.
I hope to do this some more going down the line.
Certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Ate more.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Nate Morre as candidate for the Senate in Kentucky. Crowded field,
getting a little contentious, but that's what politics is all about,
and if it's not worth it, then they shouldn't be
in the battle.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So they got a fight for it anyway.
Speaker 4 (21:26):

Nate Morris, CEO of Kentucky based company Morris Industries. He's

(00:55):
Welcome to the program. Nate, certainly appreciate you to spending
time with us.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Thank you, Kevin. It's great to be with you.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It's getting a little contentious out there, and so I
guess tell us about yourself and why you are the
best candidate for this office.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, Kevin, I'm so proud that I'm a ninth generation Kentuckian.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know, my family's been in.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Kentucky since the very beginning, and I'm a businessman.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm an outsider.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I've never run for office before, and over the last
forty years, we've had someone like Mitch McConnell in this
seat that has helped run this country off a cliff.
These career politicians we know have done so much damage
to America and we need people.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Coming from the outside. And that's why I got in
this race.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I said, you know, if I don't run, the two
people that were in the race, Andy Barr, Daniel Cameron.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
These are puppets of Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
We've got to have something totally different, and we've got
to have a one to eighty change. And I think
President Trump has demonstrated that when you have a business person,
an outside or someone who doesn't need the job, doesn't
need the money, that's when the country gets the results

Speaker 4 (02:12):
And what are you hearing from the people as you
are on the campaign trail? What is the number one
issue that they are talking about?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Well, I think first and foremost what has come into
the purview, especially over the last thirty days, is immigration.
We know that we have been flooded with illegals. We
were invaded under Joe Biden. No one will say that
in the media, and a lot of Republicans won't even
say it, but we were invaded. We had over twenty
million people come into our country that we know nothing about.
(02:46):
And I think this Somali fraud case is just another
example of unfettered immigration coming into our country and the
damage that it can do.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And Kevin, I'm very proud I.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Was the first candidate in the United States to call
for a full moratorium on any new immigration coming into
our country until we deport every single one of these
illegals and get them out of our country. Kevin, We're
absolutely full. We can't handle anymore. And until everyone gets
assimilated and the illegals go back, we shouldn't be taking
any new people coming into our country period.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I hear that.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I don't know how practical that is, However, we need
to do something. And the fact that and we should
not allow the Democrats in particular the Liberals to get
away with the fact that they are the ones that
caused this problem. They're the ones that allowed the invasion,
and so they shouldn't be. I've heard somebody talk in
(03:47):
terms of that. You know, when you're having a party
or something like that and somebody throws up on the
rug and you're down there on your hands and knees
cleaning it up. The person that up isn't the person
to sit there and tell you how to do it.
And that's basically what the Democrats are trying to do
in terms of a fixing the economy that they broke
(04:11):
and the illegal immigration that they allowed to happen. So
I don't think they've got a leg to stand on.
And whatever policies we try to do, and I agree
that we need to make sure that those that are unvetted,
those people that we aren't don't know anything about, and
they came in here illegally, they have already broken the law.
(04:34):
I don't understand this whole idea of having to go
to court and all this word. There was no court
that brought them in. So the deportation and why the
Democrats are hanging on to this on an eighty twenty
and they're taking the twenty percent position, I don't understand
at all.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well, Kevin, I think it's really simple.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
There's two groups of people in our country that love
this invasion, love the legal immigration. First, it's the Democrats
because they're trying to change the voting population of our country.
They know that's the only way they can win on
a long term basis. They can't win on their policies,
so they're going to have to import their voters. And
this is about power for them, very simple. You know,
(05:17):
I remind people all the time when I'm campaigning that
Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, what state did they come from.
They came from California. And what's different is that California
allowed unfettered migrants, illegal immigration to happen throughout their state.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They legalize those folks, and.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
They've got a permanently blue state forever. We're never going
to see California vote for a Republican ever again because
of that. And that's the Democrats strategy all across the
United States. I think the second group, and sadly enough,
there's a lot of Rhino Republicans that love illegals because
they want cheap labor. They want to pay fifty cents
on the dollar. And you talk to folks in the
(05:53):
business community, and look, I did very well in business.
Some of the people that I meet with that I
used to meet this They're like, Nate, you know what,
what's the deal with your immigration policy. Who's going to
work in my company? Who's going to work in my factory?
I said, you need to employ legal Americans, people that
are rightfully here and that are obeying the law. And
you're breaking the law by allowing these the legals to
(06:14):
work in your company. And these people who do this,
they need to be held accountable to the fullest extent
of the law. And it's ridiculous that this has been
going on so long because it's.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
About their greed and their.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Profits before the American worker, and that's got to stop.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Now we're speaking with Nate Morris.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
He is running for a senator in the state of
Kentucky in a crowded field to replace Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know, I would carry it a step further, Nate.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
You know, when you listen to these Democrats talking about
illegal immigration, one of the things that keep popping up,
and and you know you got to you got to
listen to people. They'll tell you the truth when they
start talking about who's going to pick our crops, who's
going to watch our kids, who's gonna cut our lawns
(07:00):
and this type of thing. Isn't this the same thing
that the Democrats of the South said about slavery, that
they want to have this underclass people that are not
really representative because if they're illegal, they can't vote. The
slaves weren't allowed to vote, and so that increased the
population down there, but they got the representation. I think
(07:23):
it's just another form of slavery as far as the
Democratic Party, because in my opinion, the Democratic Party is
the party of slavery, was the party of slavery, and
the Party of Jim Crow Laws and so on, Kuku
clan on down the line. I think this is just
another example of you know, you know, who's going to
pick our crops.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It sounds familiar, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That might sound a little harsh, and I don't want
to put words in your mouth, but I get when
I start talking about these things, I get a little
irritated about it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, and you know, people make this argument all the time,
but the look of it, I did very very well
picking up garbage. You know, I was a garbage man.
You know, I built one of the largest garbage companies
in the United States. And let me tell you, if
you pay, the work will come. And what's happened is
is you have a class of people in the business
(08:16):
community that have been accustomed to pay a low wage
that's way below market, and they get so angry when
they have to pay a full wage, a full freight
for their worker, and they've been accustomed to breaking the law.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I'd be like, Kevin, if you decided not to pay
your taxes for many many years. You can't do that.
And this has got to stop.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And I think it's shameful that we have people in
our own party. And I'll tell you Kevin. One of
the guys I'm running against, Andy bar he's a member
of Congress. He called me a nativist because I want
to send every illegal back. And unfortunately, he voted to
allow these Afghans to come in a few years ago,
which led to the shooting over Thanksgiving. We all saw that.
(09:01):
And he also voted to natural's over two million illegals
in our country. And these are the kind of people
that are still left in our party that are running
for the seat. And I think that is the biggest
difference about our campaign.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
We have zero tolerance. Enough is enough. You know, I
was the.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Last endorsement of Charlie Kirk. I'm so proud of that.
It's one of the great honors of my life. Charlie
and I were buddies, and he believed in this campaign.
He came to Kentucky to launch my campaign. We used
to talk all the time, this is about Western civilization.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
This just isn't about America anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
If we lose our country, we're going to lose Western civilization.
Let me tell you, I've traveled all over the world.
Garbage took me everywhere, and I spent a lot of
time in the United Kingdom. Look over there at their country.
They've lost it. It's gone, It's completely gone. And as
my friend Jadvan said, in the next decade, they will
be the first Islamic state with a nuclear weapon in
the next decade.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Thinking that started all that over there is coming here
to America. That's the same kind of stuff we're dealing with.
And that's why we got to get tough. We gotta fighters.
We got to have people that are will to put
it on the line for this country but also for
Western civilization and beat this stuff back once and for all.
Because we're to fight for our country and our culture period.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I can't agree more. We're speaking with Nate Morris.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
He is a candidate for a Senate of Republican nomination
for a Senate in the state of US Senate in
the state of Kentucky, and of course that's coming up
in the May in the primary.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So illegal immigration.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
One of the things on your platform you talk about
make America healthy again, which quite honestly, I don't hear
a lot of candidates actually bringing that up. I mean,
there's you know, there's certain things that are nuts and
bolts of this country, and it seems that people want
to kind of skim across the surface as opposed to
some of the more nuts and bolts issues. Maybe it's
(10:53):
not sexy enough, but I thought that was interesting that
that was one of the things on your list.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Well, Kevin, I was so proud we were the first
US Senate candidate to run a commercial about MAHA, the
MAHA agenda and what RFK is doing to bring health
back to our focus as a country. And we know
a lot of these people and these drug companies, food companies,
they've been poisoning our people. They've been poisoning our people,
(11:22):
and no one who's had the guts to stand up
and say, you know, why is it that Americans we're
so unhealthy compared to say, our neighbors in Europe, they
don't have a lot of the same stuff over there.
And I think we've seen in Kentucky in particular, these
drug companies that have poisoned our people. I mean, it
is a tragedy. It's one of the great tragedies of
(11:43):
our country. You know. I'm so proud that my family's
originally from Morgan County, right in the heart of Appalachia,
and nobody talks about the damage that has been done
to these working class folks of our country. And they
haven't had a voice, they haven't had somebody to stand.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Up for them and fight for them.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And I think it's long overdue, especially in the United
States Senate.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That's fantastic. We need to step out for a quick
break herey, Can you hang with us through the break?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
All right. I was speaking with Nate Morris.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Senate
to replace Mitch McConnell coming up, And well, next year
there's the election. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas
fifty five KR See the talk.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Station fifty five KRC. The party's just.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Eight twenty one in the morning.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs the
talk station.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Continue our conversation with Nate.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Morris, CEO of Kentucky based company Morris Industries and a
candidate for the Republican nomination for a Senate in this
coming up primary in the spring.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Thank you for hanging with us to the break. Nate,
I certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh, you bet. It's about pleasure, right.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
One of the things you mentioned is protecting our children,
which I don't think it's enough attention. And it seems
that the left has been able to well, you know,
you mentioned you touched on something earlier about people criticizing
you or saying that you're a nativist because you want
illegal alien illegals out of this country, people that you know,
(13:23):
came in here illegally and broke the law getting here. Well,
all of a sudden they try to shame us in
terms of, oh, you know, we're protecting our children by
mutilating them for some reason or to cater to their needs.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
In terms of.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know, these puberty blockers, puberty blockers and women and
men and women's sports and so on, and it seems
that they have somehow shamed people away from taking on
that issue. But I find it interesting and refreshing that
you have it as part of your Campaignly.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I mean, we men have no place in women's sports.
We know this.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, it's absolutely ludicrous that is a country we're
even having to have that conversation. I think about what
planet have we been living on the last few years
when people have tried to normalize this nonsense. I think
the second thing is we got to protect our kids.
And the Left is trying to push this agenda on
our kids and normalize this craziness, just this crazy thinking,
(14:27):
uh and brainwash them in many ways. And you know,
it's just enough is enough, And we got to get
this crap out of our schools. We got to get
this stuff out of the public discourse. You know, school
should be about learning, It should be about getting skills
that you need.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, now there's a novel idea. I mean, you know,
it should.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Be about are we teaching our kids things that are
help them get a job and be a productive citizen.
I think it's really simple those two things, and we
need to, you know, as someone who's an entrepreneur. I mean, look, Kevin,
I started my company with ten thousand dollars on a
credit card grou it's about seven hundred million in revenue.
I got a fantastic public education thirty forty years ago.
(15:09):
But that's not what they're teaching in today's schools. They
are trying to indoctrinate our kids. They're trying to let
them see this perverse worldview of what the left is
pushing every day.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And we got to stand up and fight.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And thank goodness, President Trump has worked to abolish the
Department of Education, get it out of Washington. We know
that decisions are made best at the local level for
our kids and their education. And kids should have the
freedom to go to school where they want to go
and take their tax dollars with them wherever they so choose.
But you know this nonsense, Well.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
The Party of choice is the party of choice until
it comes to education, taxation, and everything you want to do. So, yeah,
they want to control that aspect of it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's right, that's right, And they just want full control
of us.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean, that's what it's all about on the left.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They want to control us they don't want us to
be free, and they're starting with our kids, and they're
starting very young because they know they can get a
captive audience at a young generation and they can condition
them to see their worldview, which is so perverse and
so crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You also mentioned about bringing back jobs and into the
area of what kind of proposals do you have in
terms of that, what do you where do you see
that heading?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Well, I'm proud that I'm the only job creator in
this race. You know, I'm running against two career politicians,
two career politicians that owe everything to Mitch McConnell. They've
never had a job outside of government. Can you believe that?
I mean absolutely crazy. I think we need people that
have signed the front of a paycheck, not just the
back of a paycheck. You know, I started my business
with nothing. You're at the hundreds of millions in revenue.
(16:55):
I've employed thousands of people over my career, and we
need creators in the United States Senate because, let's say,
it'said ninety percent of new jobs in this country come
from entrepreneurs, and not everybody's going to be an entrepreneur.
You know, nineteen to my family members worked in a
factory in Kentucky building cars. My granddad ran a local union,
(17:16):
So I understand not everybody's going to do that, but
we got to get out of the way of people
that create jobs in business and let them do what
they do best and get the government off their back.
And I think the second thing is we've got to
level the playing field. You know, America has been ripped
off for generations. You know, I saw things like NAFTA
and China entering the wto places like Kentucky and even
(17:38):
some of your listeners in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
We got nothing for that.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
We got absolutely nothing for that, and they basically picked
up our manufacturing base and sent it overseas. And we
had generations that Kentuckians that lost their job permanently, you know,
including my family. And so we've got to have people
that understand the practicality of these trade measures and what
they need. And I'm proud of President Trump what he's
(18:01):
doing with the tariffs.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know, we just had a big win earlier in
the year.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
If you remember Apple coming to Kentucky spending two point
five billion dollars on a new manufacturing facility, and I
think that's one hundred percent due to Trump's tariffs. So
we got to continue to fight to level the playing
field because we've been getting ripped off a very long time.
The rest of the world's gotten very rich off of
our country, and we have got to get something for
(18:26):
the American worker and get something for our people because
they've got enough exactly.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And the more that it is bringing back the jobs
and this stopping of these jobs flowing overseas, I mean,
whoever thought that that was a good idea? I you know,
when you boil these things down, when you look at
where some of these politicians have pushed these agendas, what
(18:52):
was in their what was in their mind? And how
did they think this was going to work out for
the American people.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I really don't know, Kevin. I don't know what they
were thinking. I think it's probably pretty simple that you
had somebody in the boardroom, some elite that got an
extra couple turns on their equity.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They made a quick buck.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Maybe they won for a few quarters, maybe they won
for a few years, but you know what, the American
worker got left hold in the bag and they're the
ones that lost, yeah, permanently.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
And it seems to me that we have this situation
where remember the mantra over the last several years of oh,
the European model for healthcare, the European model for this.
We have the you know, follow of the science and
all these type of things as far as either climate
change or the green new steel or any of this
sort of thing, and every one of those things. Europe
(19:47):
is turning away from this. They're going broke based on
the European model of socialized healthcare. But we want to
go down that path they got away from. They're getting
away from this a gender well affirming care, my butt,
this mutilization, mutilation of children, and yet we're going headlong
(20:08):
into it. I you know, it's like whenever the left
wants us to go in a direction, they give examples,
but when those examples fail, they still want to keep proceeding,
like as if we're going to do it better than them.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It just amazes me, just absolutely amazes me.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Well, first and foremost, we're America. Yeah, I don't want
anything to do with the with Europeans.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I don't want to model anything they've done. Their countries
have failed, their countries have been invaded, they lost their culture,
and they just gave it up.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
They gave it up.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Well, hey, we're up against the bottom of the hour
here and I'm getting into a hard break. I certainly
appreciate your time. And one final thought, if people want
to get in touch with you, how do they do that?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, thank you, Kevin. Please come and see me at
Datemorris dot com. Get involved in our campaign, make a donation,
follow me on X at Nate Morris, give me a
follow and look forward to the coming months of the
campaign and us being victorious in May.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Nate, I appreciate your time. I certainly appreciate your time.
I hope to do this some more going down the line.
Certainly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Ate more.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Nate Morre as candidate for the Senate in Kentucky. Crowded field,
getting a little contentious, but that's what politics is all about,
and if it's not worth it, then they shouldn't be
in the battle.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So they got a fight for it anyway.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
