00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.679
very happy Tuesday to you, made
even happier and more special because this time

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.839
on a Tuesday on the morning show, we get the inside scoop from bright

6
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.399
Bart News, which I always start
off by recommending folks Bookmarket. You'll enjoy

7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.839
what you read there and you won't
find what you read there on the mainstream

8
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.519
media, that's for sure. And
it's all wonderful reporting. B R E

9
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.719
I T b Art dot Com use
it every day and I appreciate the writings

10
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.200
that I read from folks like my
guest this morning for the inside scoop,

11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.840
Capitol Hill reporter Nick Gilbertson, joining
the program for the first and hopefully not

12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.880
last time. Nick, Welcome to
the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Hey

13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.320
Brian, how you doing great to
be here? I'm doing well, man,

14
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.159
always want on a Tuesday talking to
bright Bart and I appreciate again what

15
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.880
you guys do, and let me
ask you this, we're gonna talk about

16
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.600
it. It was a actually,
I was gonna say, attempted assassination.

17
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.840
The attempted assassination at least in so
far as Donald Trump is concerned, but

18
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.519
an actual assassination if you give a
nod. And to the courageous man who

19
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:10.560
was Corey Competoi, the fireman who
got shot by the sniper. But moving

20
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:17.120
over to what information we have now, and I guess I've been summarizing it

21
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.439
from my military friends, most simply
as a Charlie foxtrot. There seems to

22
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:27.079
have been a colossal epic failure across
the board in so far as Secret Service

23
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:33.000
and its coordination of protection efforts with
local law enforcement. And I woke up

24
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:38.760
this morning to find out that the
local outlet there wpx I, reporting that

25
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:44.519
Thomas Crooks, the murderer, was
spotted on that building twenty six minutes before

26
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.719
you open fire, and a police
officer from the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit

27
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.920
even took a photo of him before
the shooting started. We learned yesterday that

28
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:59.040
a local law enforcement officer even climbed
up on the building saw him and was

29
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.239
frightened away when Crooks turned around and
pointed his rifle at him, after which

30
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.840
he started opening fire. I mean, did they not have comms with Secret

31
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.919
Service? But finally today I found
out that that whole that building there that

32
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.919
he was on top of was a
watch post for snipers from the local local

33
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.840
police. What is not wrong with
this thing? Nick No, I mean

34
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.639
there's a lot, there's a lot
seemingly wrong with this. And you know,

35
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:29.520
Speaker Mike Johnson said, Kimberly Cheedlebaden's
USS Secret Service chief. You know,

36
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.919
she she bases a hearing on Monday, and she quote has a lot

37
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.680
to answer for, according to the
Speaker of the House. So I mean,

38
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.240
yeah, Thomas Matthew Crooks, the
fact that this was able to happen

39
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.439
is horrifying. The fact that he
was able to get in such close proximities

40
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:51.879
as the president. And this report
about this officer that climbed the roof and

41
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.280
climbed the ladder up to the roof
and went down, it's also just very

42
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.879
chilling, and it just paints this
picture of a it's really concerning that this

43
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.719
was this happened, this was allowed
to happen or not allowed to happen.

44
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:15.080
But but but the atmosphere for this
to happen very extremely concerning and and you

45
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.400
know, obviously I'm here at the
R and C right now. We have

46
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.439
some heightened security here, which thankfully
after the events on Saturday where we almost

47
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.280
saw the leading presidential Kennedy United States
murdered on national television. But yeah,

48
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.439
no, it's it's there's a lot
to answer for here in terms of the

49
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.800
security security greeches that went on.
Well, you know, I'm going to

50
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.719
call you out and maybe a freudy
and slip nick you said, allowed this

51
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.960
to happen. And I know a
lot of my in the listening audience,

52
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.800
you know, immediately come up with
conspiracy theories. But you know that's why,

53
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.759
that's why I corrected me terminology.
But it's just giving you a little

54
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.879
bit of a hard time. But
the failure on so many levels, even

55
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.840
as someone like me who is not
an expert in protective services. I mean,

56
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.639
if I've seen some my friends in
law enforcement who's like, oh,

57
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.000
just like that, everybody's an expert
in protective services and site security. I

58
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.479
do shoot, and I have shot
on many many occasions of modern sport rifle,

59
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.480
including one very similar to the one
used by this murderous punk thug,

60
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.879
A five five six AR fifteen style
rifle. And it is easy. Me.

61
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.360
I'm not a marksman, but I
point out it's very easy for even

62
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.439
you know, someone moderately trained in
firearms to hit a target at two hundred

63
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.199
yards. He was a lot.
He was like fifty yards closer than that.

64
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:38.800
That to me stands out as an
obvious site to be you know,

65
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.800
tended to by law enforcement outside the
perimeter, inside the perimeter, local law

66
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.360
enforcement, secret service. I don't
care. It's a direct line of sight

67
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.240
place for someone to set up a
shot. Oh lo and behold, that's

68
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:56.720
what happens. Yeah, it's the
location of where he was and everything.

69
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.720
It's really flabbergasting that he was able
to get up. And that's extremely concerning.

70
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.639
And you know, we definitely want
to see heightened security here for the

71
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.759
leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump going
forward. And you know, it's it's

72
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.720
another thing too. The Biden administration
was denying, you know, secret service

73
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.920
for Robert F. Kennedy, whose
father and uncle were both assassinated in and

74
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.279
and then you know, all of
a sudden, Trump calls for Kennedy to

75
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.199
have secret service yesterday, and the
Biden administration accommodated. Reportedly, so it's

76
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:35.560
it's which is good. I mean
that, I know, we don't want

77
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.319
to go back to a place where
we're in the sixties there, you know,

78
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.199
where where political leaders are getting assassinated, and it's just so concerning to

79
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.399
see that in today's climate where we
almost we almost saw it, and we

80
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:55.240
saw an attempt and it hit the
president in the ear inches from from causing

81
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.279
you know, irreparable damage. It's
just extremely, extremely concerning. I would

82
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.240
say less than an inch by all
accounts. Anyway, you are at the

83
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:08.040
RNC and we had a report from
one of our local commissioners and she's going

84
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.279
to give us a report later as
well. What was the atmosphere like yesterday?

85
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.759
I know it was sort of a
formality for the delegates to hand over

86
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.959
the votes and supported Donald Trump,
but the announcement of JD. Vans,

87
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.680
I think everybody was kind of sitting
on pins and needles waiting for that to

88
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.600
show up. And any surprise that
it was JD. Vans from your part

89
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:29.759
or the group or what was the
mood after the announcement by the delegates?

90
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.399
Yeah, I mean I think for
a long time it was down to those

91
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:40.720
final three, right, Burgram Vance
and Marco Rubio, and I think especially

92
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.800
when the motorcade showed up at Vance's
house yet yesterday, I mean it's still

93
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.519
the President hadn't made this official announcement, but it looked more and more so

94
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.399
that it was going to be JD. And I think things are electric here

95
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.040
right now on the ground. I
think everybody's really really, really happy with

96
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.519
the choice. I think people are
really excited that JD is a young guy

97
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.399
and he's you know, I would
say the most one of the most popular

98
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:11.000
senators in the United States Senate.
So I think, you know, he

99
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.319
he comes from that you know,
Hillbilly lg. He comes from. He

100
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.759
is, you know, the forgotten
man and woman. That's the community he

101
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.720
grew up in, and so that's
that's where he hails from. I think

102
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:29.000
he's a great in my opinion,
the fantastic things. Yeah, and its

103
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.680
absolutely electric on the grounds here after
after JD was selected, and I'm guessing

104
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:38.879
that Trump his appeal to the you
know, the hard the blue collar worker,

105
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.079
the working man and woman kind of
class. Does he have any appeal

106
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.839
outside of say the Midwest. I
know there was some concern express that,

107
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.000
well, okay, there was no
problem for Trump in Ohio he's leading and

108
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:53.120
has been. It's a red state, and it may have some impact for

109
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.120
the folks in Pennsylvania given its proximity
in West Virginia. But really, I

110
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.680
mean, can he get voters outside
of the mid West? I mean,

111
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.959
what's what's your reaction to that?
My reaction, I think he can,

112
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.639
I think, especially since he's I
think he can make inwards with young voters

113
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.839
especially, And I think, you
know, I'm not necessarily sure, you

114
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.759
know, like the traditional presidential pick, where you know, you pick somebody

115
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.160
based off of geographical reasons you think
you can win that state, or that

116
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.240
you know they think they're good foiled
to the ticket. I think that's not

117
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.240
or a good counterparts of the ticket, you know, to unify the party.

118
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.360
But maybe it isn't like the most
in sync with the president. I

119
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.039
think that, you know, maybe
those days aren't as essentially important or that

120
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.639
strategy isn't these days where you know, things are much more We're much more

121
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.360
connected society now with with how media
is developed and everything, so especially I

122
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.039
think over the past couple of elections, and Donald Trump has said too that

123
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.519
he doesn't think that that's a factor
in making his decisions is well coming off

124
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.039
the heels of the efforts to assassinate
Donald Trump on Saturday. His youth,

125
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.759
might that be a liability perhaps for
Donald Trump, Keiven, Donald Trump is

126
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.440
a senior person, and of course
the possibility that the vice president might have

127
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.000
to take over obviously it's on full
display right now with Joe Biden. But

128
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:30.759
that his youth and quote unquote inexperience
might be a problem or a drag on

129
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.159
the ticket. Your reaction, I
don't think there would be a drag on

130
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.720
the ticket at all. I think
JD is a very sharp guy. He's

131
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.120
extremely well spoken, and I think, you know, he's really coming to

132
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.159
his own, you know, after
a couple of years in the Senate here,

133
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.960
and I don't think he'll drag down
the ticket at all. I think

134
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.879
he's a great compliment to the ticket, fair enough. I mean, we

135
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.480
can always point back to Barack Obama, who is not exactly filled with experience

136
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.960
when he was nominated and then elected
as president. Yeah exactly. He was

137
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.720
what elected in two thousand and six, did you know, a year and

138
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.279
a half and then launched his bids
for the presidency and made it so Yeah,

139
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.840
there's anybody on the left that wants
to try and make that type of

140
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.320
argument too, you know, or
just point to Obama, you know,

141
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.200
knock yourself out. Good luck on
that one. My guess. Today Capitol

142
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.320
will report of Nick gilbertson which you
can find online at Brightbart dot com,

143
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.519
which I encourage you to do.
What's on the plate for the balance of

144
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.000
the week, Nick, I mean, of all, is mostly the fun

145
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.279
and festivities over or we got some
bigger things on the plate that we need

146
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.080
to look out for. Yeah,
absolutely, we got big stuff coming this

147
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.320
week. You know, Donald Trump's
going to officially accept the nomination on Thursday.

148
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.799
Jivance is going to give his big
speech on Wednesday. So a big

149
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.840
week ahead we got. You know, we're just getting started here and you

150
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.720
know there's a bazillion events going around
here taking place too, so and obviously

151
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:01.399
breat Bart News if you go there. We're having live interviews and recorded interviews

152
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.039
all day long on our Facebook pages
and on our website Great Part dot com

153
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.720
with you know, real big hitters. So we had some great interviews yesterday,

154
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.039
so and we got more coming all
we oh yeah, definitely tuned in

155
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.320
there and we'll be uh, we'll
be turning them out with some big players.

156
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.879
Nick Coverson, one more question for
we part company. I should have

157
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.919
asked it earlier. Protesters are you
know? I keep thinking of the sixty

158
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.600
eight convention for the Democrats and maybe
a replay coming our way in August with

159
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.240
them many many protest groups have already
said they're signing up and they're planning on

160
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.360
raising hell in Chicago. What's going
on relative to protesters at the Republican Convention

161
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.559
anything. There's been some protesters,
some skill, but but I don't think

162
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.799
it's anything. It's nothing compared to
what we're going to see in Chicago.

163
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.080
I'd like to say. I think
Time reported that there were ten thousand and

164
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.519
sixty eight, ten thousand protesters in
Chicago. There's reports that activists are telling

165
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.080
Politico that there's going to be thirty
thousand, So, oh my god,

166
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.960
we know how sixty eight happened.
Yeah, so, and they have an

167
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.320
extremely divided party right now. So
that's it's going to be something else in

168
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.559
Chicago next month in August. I'll
be there too, so I'll good there.

169
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.080

about KREC de talk station going to
Daniel Davis deep dive on the assassination attempt

174
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.960
that'll bet the bottom of the hour. Looking forward to talking to Daniel on

175
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.759
that one. And a strong recommendation
for affordable imaging services. Don't go to

176
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.879
the hospital imaging department when you can
save thousands of dolls literally thousands of dollars

177
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.720
by going to affordable imaging services for
the MRI CT scan, echo cardiogram,

178
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.799
ultrasound long screening, your cardiac scoring. I can say literally because I have

179
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.639
a couple of illustrations. I know
a few people who've gotten back with me

180
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.679
that have literally saved thousands of dollars
by going to affordable imaging services. Jeff

181
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.120
got the echo cardigram, kept thirty
one hundred dollars of his own money in

182
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.159
his pocket. That would have been
his out of pocket responsibility after insurance premium

183
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.440
payment if he had gone to the
hospital imaging department. He didn't. He

184
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.559
got the echo cardiogram at affordable imaging
services and kept that money in his pocket.

185
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.440
It only costs four hundred and ninety
five bucks for an echo cardigram with

186
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.960
a radiologist report board Certified Radiologists report
included, which he and his physician both

187
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.960
got within forty eight hours. The
same thing goes for you, and the

188
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.519
same kind of savings for the CTS, MRIs and the other services, same

189
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.360
kind of equipment professionals operating them.

find any of that at the hospital
