  Speaker 1: Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time leaving
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you waiting to be seen by a doctor at Level Health.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We're fed up with all the waiting around. It's about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: time you had twenty four to seven instant access to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: doctors Level Health. It's about time twenty four seven instant
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: access to doctors included on plans a TOE insurance provided

• 0:25
  Speaker 2: All right, So getting back to the White House correspondence
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: dinner from Saturday night. Few of our guests today were there.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I had a chance to catch up early this morning
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: with my friend Brian kill Me does a great job
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: following me each and every morning here on seventy seven
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: WABC Box and Friends on One Nation, ten pm Sunday nights. Brian,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: good morning. You were there on Saturday night. Tell me
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the building, in that room, how chaotic was it?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what said. It was pretty pretty impressive.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: There was an hot of screaming there what's going on here?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: There's I mean, Dan Scavino got up and yelled USA USA.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: No one really backed him up, not that they didn't
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: back him up, not that they don't believe in the country,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: but they were just trying to figure out what was happening.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: But for the most part, you watched, you know it
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: just picture being at an event in a theater or anything,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and just watched people running full speed right up the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: aisle and you think of thisself, this is disordinate. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: then you look up at the days and everyone's on
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the ground, and then they're being escorted out, and then
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden you see the Secret Service uniformed
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and on uniform grabbing everyone had a different assignment. They
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: knew that Tolcy Gabbert was right next to me, she's out.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: They knew that Erica Kirk did not have a detail,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: but quickly they grabbed her because they saw she was
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: traumatized obviously, and she was shaking under the table and
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: they grabbed her. That was two seats away from me.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: And then you know, in front of us, Mark Wayne Mullen,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: they went and you see Pete.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Haigseth being brought the other way. So you saw first
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: the day is cleared, then the officials clear, and then
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you wonder were they chasing somebody in the in.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: The room or was everything happening outside? And was the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: banging that you heard? Because I'm not from a war zone,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm here in banging. It wasn't deafening, so
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you heard banging? Could have been like someone being thrown
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: against the wall.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: So that happened outside.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Now, the one thing that has not been answered yet
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: is the ten shots five to ten shots got off?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Wow? Who got hit? What got hit? This guy did
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: some training so and what guts it took?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And we don't know this side of the story yet
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for the agents to take this guy down.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: So you're shooting. One guy gets shot in the chest.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: The vest saves him, unlike Jonathan Diller where it got
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: under the vest. This guy gets saved by that, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: knowing that he had to take a bullet in order
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: maybe for the other guys to jump on.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: And I talked to an official last night, extremely senior,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: and he said, yeah, he goes. They all tackled him.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So that took. That took tremendous guts too.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And then when you know, if he got in that room,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and Tony said, it would have been carnage, it would
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: have been because you could not move literally.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I could not walk between tables. I had to go listen,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I gotta walk through.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Can you get out and I'll go up with these
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: strangers because I was I was hanging back to the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: last minute to walk into the room because I knew
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: once I got in, I'm not moving. So when I
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: walked in, everybody was seated. And I'm telling you, I've
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: been a lot of I've been to ten White House
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: correspondence dinners. I've never seen it like this. So twenty
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: one hundred people, not no room between tables. This was
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the utter definition of a fire hazard. If everyone panicked,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: it would have been I mean, people would have really
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: got hurt. But nobody panicked, which is tremendous.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you actually hear the gunshot? Gunshots from the room?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I heard, a banging. But most
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of all, when I knew this was real was the smell.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, I smelled gunpowder, and I was in retrospect.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I was probably one hundred yards from where this whole
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: thing happened. So I'm way by the daist right, I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: table I point thirty four, which is very close to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the front, just to the left, so more on the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Vice President's side. So I'm far away, and I'm smelling
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: this and I'm just I'm standing up. I'm just thinking
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to myself, maybe I can help, But I just want
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to know who's who, you know, because I don't know.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Does a guy dress up like he's a Secret Service
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: agent and try to run through you know, are they
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: chasing somebody? But what they were doing is going after officials.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: So and again this third straight. This is the third
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: time this is happening in a year and a half.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: So what's going on here? And then you drill down.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: You know, they're calling the president a danger to democracy.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: They're saying this. This is guy in his screen, in
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: his manifesto, he feels it's his almost civic duty to
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: take out the president. What does that sound like? Same tutor.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: You know some people can't be talked to. I got it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I gotta take it upon.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Myself, Luigi, you know what healthcare is a mess in
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: this country. I gotta start killing people and they feel
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: like martyrs. You know, these are not gangsters, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: no parents, tattoos in and out of prison. Well the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: society has let them down. Well that's a different discussion.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: These guys have resources. This guy's living with his parents,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: This guy's a teacher. He one teacher of the month.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: These guys got an.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Advanced degree in engineering. So don't tell me that life
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: gave him a bad hand. He's somehow watching what we're watching,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: listening to what we're listening to, and saying, I gotta
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: kill So I think we need to I need to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: think we need to step back and say. You know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying me and you. I'm saying that when
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: you look at the way they're going at each other
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: in Washington, the lawmakers and the way they try to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: go after Trump is so cataclysmic that we have to
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: just change it to I disagree with the ballroom. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: disagree with his border policy, rather than he is a fascist.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: You know, he is a hitler. And then what do
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: you expect these marginalized people who already have a screw
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: loos to think. I mean, there's gotta be we have
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to stop denying there's a relationship there. I agree.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And he took Nora O'Donnell to the woodshed last night
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: when she mentioned rapist Stan pedophile, and she deserved that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: But that's what they do. Like I love Bongino yesterday
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: on box News because he said what I say all
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the time, this is not about two sides. There is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: one side that tried to kill Steve Scalise, that has
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: tried to kill President Trump three times, that has killed
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk. That's not our side. We're not perfect, but
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to compare the two, to put him in the same
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: sentence is ridiculous. The left has completely lost control. I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: talking about politicians, I'm talking about the media. I'm talking
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: about your next door neighbor. The left has gone completely insane.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: One last thing I did see You Want Box News
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: yesterday with Lawrence Jones. I was listening to Rachel Shit
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: was watching Rachel camp Posts all morning long. I thought
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: she was a little tough on ce Service. But the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: truth is the guy did make it, passed the initial
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: perimeter I guess, and got to.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: The door of the ballroom in the end.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: President Trump texted me yesterday morning, which I was very
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: happy about, and it was quick to say, hey, said,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: great job by my Secret Service last night. That's how
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: he feels. But like I said, Campos, Jones and others,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they are still taking Secret Service to task this morning, what.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Do you think A couple of things I didn't go
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: to the Academy. You know, I didn't train, I didn't
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: even do a report if I wasn't in in bed
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: and even went for a week.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: So I am not going to say the problem is
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the perimeter.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: The problem is this, But I think there are some
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: things that can be looked at. You know, I think
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: that maybe you don't do things in the hotel setting anymore.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, we did our Patriot Awards.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah we did it in a hotel of the hard
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: rock but that thing was yeah, I think it was
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: hard rock. It was totally shealed up, the theater was
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: totally different. So our guys had no problem figuring out
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: a security plan. I mean, this is a huge hotel,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: huge hotel, So if you can't, you know, if you
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: maybe it's too hard to set up a perimeter and
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: not destroy the Hilton business, who needs every weekend possible.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: You can't just tell these guys empty at your hotel,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: nobody else is going to be here. Maybe it's got
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: to be in a convention center where you can do
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: things like that. But you know, they've been doing this
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: since nineteen twenty eight Calvin Coolidge, so I imagine there's.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: A template there that's been effective. So I think that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but I would.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I am surprised that he got that close with a
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: rifle that was screwed together in the back room.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: This was spotted by a witness.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: They watched him squatting down by bar by bar carts,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: screwing together his rifle and then walking in with a
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: gun and then just sprinting full speed upstairs and through
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: and then he got through one magnetometers. If you told
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: me that that could happen, I would say no way.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: So the fact that they're going to look at this,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I think that they acted.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Heroically in the moment. But if you want to tell
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: me that the.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Game plan and the game plan and the security plan
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: was inadequate, I'm all ears, But.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I am not going to tell the Secret Service what
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to do. Damn Bongino Ken. You know he did this
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: for fifteen years, so I gotta know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And I made the analogy you can really relate to.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people hop on the air on
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: sports radio every single day and say I know more
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: than the GM, I know more than the players, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: know more than the owners. Okay, yeah, did you do
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the work at least did you go to the locker rooms,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: did you go see the people, did you go interact
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: with the draft experts, did you go to the combines?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: And then you give me your opinion. But if you
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: just sit behind the microphone, you read Street and Smith,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and then you're going to tell me that you know
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: more than every of these teams, I'm not really going
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: to pay attention. But it doesn't matter. It's sports. Now
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you're going to tell me you know how to set
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: up the perimeter.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: From the White House correspondence dinner, I'm going to tell
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: you that I'm I'm surprised he got so far, but
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I am not gonna say definitively either way, because you
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: got you gotta stay in your lane. But I'm going
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to ask the questions of the people that know. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I think that's your approach too.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Not fair enough.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Paul morro is joining me next, and I'm gonna
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: ask him those same questions. But yeah, you know, Dan
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Bongino was not critical of the Secret Service. Again, President
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Trump went out of his way on television and in
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a personal text to me to thank his Secret Service.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: So you know, we got to see exactly what that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: situation is. Anyway, I'm glad you're safe. I was worried
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: about you and Bill O'Reilly all my good friends. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you already must listen to today. I know you usually
• 10:36

• 10:45
