Speaker 1 (00:01):
Keeping you in the know all the information in real
time and again good now right now on fifty five KRC,
the Talk Stage show at six Here at fifty five
kr C, the Talk station Tuesday. That means it's time
for the Insight Scoop with Bright Bart News BOOKMARKT, B,

(00:21):
R E, I, t V, A, r T dot com.
Great news there, good reporting, and of course good join
reporting on a lot of things the mainstream media wouldn't
touch with a ten foot poll and one of the
people reporting on such things. Welcome back to the fifty
five KRC Morning Show. Breitbart's Capitol Hill reporter Nick Gilbertson. Nick,
good to have you on the show today.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hey, Brian, thanks for having me, and thanks for the
kind words about Breitbart.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Love it, Love what you guys do, and I really
enjoy talking to the various folks from Breitbart each week.
It's just really a great segment on my program. And
spread the news about the website as well. I always
love doing that. Now, did you attend the convention last night?
Are you at the NC convention in Chicago or you
just reporting about it?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, I mean I'm here on the ground in uh Chicago.
So I was at the convention to a point yesterday.
So yeah, I was in there for much of the
afternoon and into the early evening. So it was definitely
kind of like the tale of two d n c's.
There was, of course, you know, the Kumbaia and where

(01:22):
unified party. That was kind of the rhetoric and the
secure zone there, you know, where the delegates and other
people go, and then you know, a few hundred yards
away you could hear protesters after a march beat the
pro Palestinian, anti Israel protesters, you know, screaming anti Kamala Harris,
Chance Harris, Harris, what do you say? How many kids

(01:45):
did you kill today? So it was it was very
it was a tale of two totally different d n
seas and it just really shows the underlying fracture that's
taken place in the party here.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, I suppose every buddy there probably would have liked
to have had a say in the matter had they
been asked whether they want Kamala Harris to be the
nominee or not, but they weren't. They were deprived of that.
We all know that. How do you believe that the
Democrats are going to navigate this huge divide on that
issue within their party.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I have many, many Jewish friends, lots of them, and
as we all know, the Jewish people typically vote very,
very heavily in favor of Democrats, and it's been that
way my entire life. For reasons that just have escaped me.
I don't know. But here we have an issue where
Kamala Harris I think Leans more pro Palestine. Certainly many
people Illanomar and AOC's and the rest within her party

(02:42):
are very pro Palestine anti Israel. Now that's an insurmountable
divide there. I don't know there's any solution. I mean,
if you could come up with a solution, then you'd
have peace in the Middle East for God's sake.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, And you know she so it's very difficult because
she I mean, this is something when your party is
divided like this like this late in the in the game,
heading into the general election, like you hope to have
your party united earlier, like far before the convention, getting
into the general election. And right now she's having to
playkate to this far left faction of the party and

(03:18):
these pro Palestinian protesters. And right now she should be
focused on winning moderates, and she can't do that, you know,
and playcate these voters at the same exact time. So
she's really stuck between a rock and a hard place
on that front. And like you said, many Democrats or
many Jewish voters do vote Democrat, and you know, pro

(03:41):
Israel Jewish voters, you know, are certainly not gonna probably
you know, radical pro Palestinian policy, they probably be against that.
So she has to kind of juggle both of those
fronts while trying to bring her base back home this
late in the game and trying to appeal to moderate voters.

(04:02):
I think it's just a really tall task. And I
think the more she's exposed to the media and has
to answer for these specific policy things, she's gonna get
exposed on it.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, one can only hope that happens soon. We know,
early voting begins what the ninth of September in many states,
including some battleground states, and we're just a moment in
time away from the election. I don't know how anybody
can make an informed choice on this. The Democrats are
playing that law or that strategy to run the clock out.
She doesn't have to deal with the challenge because she's
not confronted by people asking the pointed questions, she comes

(04:37):
out gives this sort of you know, smiley glad handy,
you know, if a word's salad, but well scripted from
read from a teleprompter. But it's not diving into the issues.
She's not answering the question of how you pay for
all the litany of new programs she wants to roll out.
She's not being asked how to deal with the deficit
we've already accumulated, not asked to deal with specific questions
about the border and the failure on the border. As

(05:00):
long as she hides, you know, we get no answers
as a public. And so we're left with a choice
between someone who's trying to be repainted as a modern
by the media and Donald Trump, who already has that
built in Pavlovian god, I hate Trump response from fifty
percent of the population.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean the media is totally, it seems,
doing her bidding. And you know, she's getting a free
pass on so many things. And you know, the only
times we really do hear her speak are at these
rallies that she goes to, and of course that setting
is she's in entire control of the setting right in terms,
there's no back and forth. It's just one way communication

(05:40):
to you know, the cameras into the supporters. There. She's
not fielding questions and she's not going deep on policy
on anything other than really abortion, which is like Poles
have shown time and time again, this is that's not
a top issue for voters. This is the selection cycle.
So it's you know, immigration, the economy, national security, like

(06:02):
those are top issues. So it's and again she's getting
a pass from the media on it. It's interesting to
just see them, you know, let her get by with
all this stuff. But again, we still haven't had an interview,
and I think it's been about a month here since
Joe Biden dropped out of the race, and she hasn't

(06:23):
had a real press conference either. So it's it's very
and yet, like you said, I think early voting probably
begins in September sometime, so we're really you know, running
out of time here to or the clocks the clock's
taking for sure.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well in the reporting, I had a conversation with Congressman
Warren Davidson prior to our conversation right now. He just
he was just on the morning show and I asked
him about this, you know, the polling which you had
this newly reinvented Kamala Harris. Uh, she's great, She's awesome,
she's joyous, she's she's the answer in the anecdote or
the antidote to Trump. Fine, that's we're here in the media. Obviously,

(07:01):
she gets a bit of a you know, sort of
a period of time where she can enjoy the jump
in the polls. If we had more time between now
and the election, I think those numbers would erode, given
where she is on any given policy. But she's got
this honeymoon period going on, and the American public, we
keep reading about it. Oh, the irons are this poll
you know, CNN poll says she's ahead by three points nationally,

(07:23):
she's neck and neck in the swing states. We've been
getting inundated with these new polling numbers, which shows that
she has gained back the division between where Biden stood
and where Trump did in the polls. So we have
a perception now that it's possibly winnable for Kamala Harris.
And I know there's a whole lot of strong Trump
support out there. I know a lot of people are

(07:44):
hurting with the economy, the issues you and I talked about,
which would lead one to conclude they might be more
inclined to go Trump. But if we at least have
maybe the lie built into the cake that she's modern
and she's polling grade, that they could get away with
something during the election that you know, we're worried about,
maybe uh, interference with the election, or or some Shenanigans

(08:04):
or steel and and and an effort to steal the election.
You could sell that to an American public who believes
that she is neck and net.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah. I mean it's certainly, you know, it's this reinventing
of her has really gone a long way, and the
fact that she's not getting challenged on the stuff she's
you know, it's it's I feel like you have a
great point that Brian, that they could try and make
that argument, you know, down the stretch here. I I
think that her I think Harris is the fact that

(08:44):
she's able to to skirt these issues right now is
is really uh. Rather, let me just start backtrack here.
There was a media research poll, a media research center.
They put up this pole of these ten radical policies
that Harris has stood by, going back probably to twenty
nineteen when when she was a Democrat candidate for president

(09:06):
back then, in Lawson was one of the first people
out in the primary, like these ten radical policies. They
pulled these voters across the country and between seventy one
to eighty six percent of these were Biden Democrats and
Biden Independence. In twenty twenty, they had no idea she
had espoused these policy views, yea, like seventy one to

(09:27):
eighty six percent. And the big thing is all these
media and they did a big analysis on all these
on you know, these legacy media companies ABC News, CBS News,
NBC News, and I think there was only like minimal
cover Like I think the only cover two or three
of the ten issues between those three networks, like in

(09:47):
the course of like two or three weeks once Harris
became the presumptive nominee. So again, like you're saying, it's
just that the media is doing the bidding, and it's
kind of it's kind of setting up this scenario where
they can try and make that pitch here down the stretch,
you know, you sneak her in with like ninety days
left and then yeah, kind of have the honeymoon period.

(10:10):
But again I don't know. I feel like she's starts.
She's gotten some pressure from CNN and other places about
not doing interviews. They've seen, Jim Acosta said, a lot
of people bring it up. So I think it's starting
to become a story now for her, and I think
it's gonna I think it's a campaign issue now, and
I think the longer she goes without doing it, and
the more attention that can be brought to it, I

(10:31):
think the weaker she looks.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Like price controls, for example, that came out and everybody
lost their minds, me included. But when you lose the
Washington Post editorial board on when you mentioned price controls
and they say you're an idiot, You're crazy, You have
no economic understanding. If you believe price controls are going
to benefit America's you got a problem on your hands
right there.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah. Absolutely. I talked with Senator Rick Scott about this
yesterday at a big infuter interview with him at the
Trump Hotel. It's on Bright Bartuck. You know. Senator Scott
told me that, you know, so if we do price controls,
he said, quote, we'll have the hair as high prices,
and then we'll also have the hair shortages. Yeah, and
he called it peer socialism, so it's just yeah, yeah,

(11:15):
the price controls are just that's quite the pitch. And
you know, again she's not she doesn't have to answer
for that because she's not taking real questions. We're sitting
down for interviews.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Real quick, since you're there obviously so far, and you know,
I got my popcorn out. I'll wait for the end
of it. The protesters did not arrive to the in
the numbers that were originally anticipated. I know that one
of the anti Israel groups expected about thirty thousand folks there,
and I think they said maybe half of that number
actually showed up.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I know you said you mentioned early in the discussion
this morning here that they were you could be hearing
them out in the streets, that their voices could be heard,
But are they there in larger numbers?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Is it? Is?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It represents some kind of thread. This doesn't sound, in
other words, like it's going to be nineteen sixty eight
all over again.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, I mean that was just day day one. We
saw yesterday, so I mean they did end up preaching
the gate there, but where I could hear them from
a few minutes, a few minutes later they actually reached
the gate. Our cameraman Matthew Perry got fantastic footage of that,
and some of them are pouring through. But it seemed
to me that there was you know, hundreds, maybe a

(12:27):
thousand or so, maybe a little more protesters there. I
wasn't exactly in the Skirmer shows kind of watching from Afar,
and yeah, we'll see exactly how many, excuse me, how
many protesters end up showing up throughout the week. But
there's like various different groups have different things organized. But

(12:47):
again I don't I'm not sure on the exact number
that is here, and I think things are subject to
change throughout the week. The group that had that big
protest yesterday or that was at twelve, so that was
kind of to kick things off. That group is a
coalition of one hundred and fifty groups like around the country,
and they're protesting again on Thursday at five pm and

(13:11):
they're going to march down to the United Center. So
that would track timing wise with you know, within an
hour or two of Kamala Harris taking the stage. So
I think that we'll see what that holds, and we'll
see what the number is of that protest, But I
think that's going to be a really big one to watch.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, it ain't over yet. In other words, Fat Lady
hasn't sang it may it may turn into sixty eight
after all.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's right, it ain't over yet.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Nick gilbertson again, he's the Capito Hill Report with bright Bird.
Just the one final question. Is there a noticeably huge
police presence there? I just had a friend post of
view of the street and looks like there's nine gajillion
cops marching down the street there, is it? Is it noticeable?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, there's definitely a noticeable police presidence. I mean I'm
sitting here in the hotel breakfast area and that there's
just a few police officers at the table next to
me getting their breakfast. So yeah, and you know there's
that I think Sunday night there they were all lined
up along the protester There's hundreds and hundreds of cops.
And then yeah, and there's cops all within the security

(14:18):
perimeter and all around it as well. So there's a lot.
There's a big police presence here.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, for a change anyway in the city of Chicago.
Nick Coverts, and we'll be talking again soon. I hope
be safe there and enjoy your time in the DNC,
and I look forward to hearing more reports and reading
what you write about on Breitbart.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Thank you, Brian, thanks for having me my pleasure.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Hey twenty right now, if you have k City Talk station,
Daniel Davis Deep Dive, We're going to jump over to Ukraine.
They're blowing up bridges in Russia. Russia's rebuilding them with
pontoon bridges right away. Is that going to get anybody anywhere?
We'll talk to Daan at the bottom of the hour. First,
affordable imaging services. Yes, you have a choice when it
comes to your medical care. You can go wherever you want.
That's just a simple statement of fact. Now, when it

(14:59):
comes to your insurance comedy, you might have some litations,
but you know when you can save thousands of dollars
on a medical image by going to affordable imaging services
rather than the hospital imaging center. Honestly, in most cases
your insurance will pay for it any way. But with
an MRI costing only four hundred and ninety five dollars,
I think in many cases and in most cases, out

(15:20):
of pocket responsibility for you under your insurance program will
cost you more than the whole scan with the board
certified Radiologist report, which it comes with when you get
a scan at Affordable Imaging Services.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
So it's worth.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Crunching the numbers, and many insurance companies will pay for
the the for the small amount that is the charge
for the whole package. Affordable Imaging Services does MRIs for
four ninety five. You put a contrast in, it's six
forty five, and that's the most expensive image you can
pay for over at the hospital. That could set you
back three thousand, four thousand, maybe five thousand dollars. And
the same thing goes for CT scans. A CT scan

(15:54):
four hundred and fifty bucks six hundred with a contrast
and echo cardigram only four ninety five, ultrasound two fifty ah,
they won't even look at you for two hunred and
fifty bucks at the hospital. And again all these come
with the radiologists report. You probably would get a separate
bill if you go to the imaging department. So when
it comes to your medical care, I say save money

(16:14):
Affordable Imaging Services. You can find them online easily and
learn more at Affordable Medimaging dot com, Affordable Medimaging dot
com call them up for the appointment five one three
seven five three eight fifty five KRC.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Get ready to win your way
