About this listen

The New York Times and Wall Street Journal best seller about how Mitch McConnell has been bad for Kentucky - and why he needs to be voted out of office from the founder of Kentucky Sports Radio and attorney Matt Jones.

They say all politics is local. In 2020, Mitch McConnell will have served five full terms as a US senator. Thirty years. The Senate Majority leader's power is as undeniable as it is infuriating, and the people of Kentucky have had enough. Led by Matt Jones, they (and they alone) have the power to oust him from office.

How did Jones, a local boy turned attorney turned sports radio host come to shine the brightest light on McConnell's ineptitude? Simple - he knows Kentucky inside and out and has used the state's love of sports as an entry point for showcasing how McConnell has failed his fellow citizens both economically and socially for three decades.

Entertaining, maddening, yet ultimately inspiring, these stories from Kentuckians in each of its 120 counties illustrate the Senate Majority leader’s stunning shortcomings.

“Jones employs a sharp, political scalpel eviscerating McConnell...[and this book is] an effective combination of description and vivisection.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Jones brings his trademark wit and wisdom throughout the book, while also offering a beautiful portrait of a state with arguably the most untapped potential in our country.

Ultimately, the white-hot hatred for McConnell on the coasts is just white noise. Only the people of Kentucky can remove him from office. Here, Matt Jones demonstrates he has the influence, charisma, and institutional knowledge to lead the charge. He and his fellow Kentuckians have had enough - and they’re ready for a fight.

My Old Kentucky Home!

If you love the combination of great story telling, combined with a beautiful depiction of the people who live in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and the real negative impacts of our current broken political system, then this book is for you. Matt Jones and Chris Tomlin take an amazing journey through every KY county meeting the people who live there and learn how Sen. McConnell has failed them. This is an amazing book that every voter in America should read.

Superb book and a great book about KENTUCKY!!

The book validated my thoughts about American politics today. Matt is a great storyteller and Chris” sometime snarky comments had me laughing. It’s a shame so many love Mitch. I’m in Louisville (but Go CATS) and never have voted for Mitch. I was enlightened to the inner workings and it makes me so angry! I would listen to a chapter and then rant and rave to my family. They were happy when I finished! The best part was learning about MY State and its people. I am so proud and now understand why they vote the way they do. I now am looking to get involved locally. Thanks Matt and Chris and all those who supported these guys as they traveled our beautiful state. For my fellow Kentuckians - Let’s get it right in 2024! No Trump, No Mitch, vote for term limits and maybe lower the age of the President; and for Chris, a President who isn’t a criminal. Love you guys and Thanks!

Love it!

I’m from Kentucky and loved hearing about each of the different counties in the state. But even if you’re not from Kentucky it’s very interesting. One of my favorite parts is the foot notes by Chris Tomlin. Very entertaining!

#DitchMitch

I knew I could not stand Mitch McConnell and I could not imagine that my feelings could intensify. I was wrong. He is clearly the absolute worst.
This book is an enlightening glimpse at our modern political dysfunction.
