i'm going to do just. your tricks. for. you guys i made a professional ish power point to show you how archie america it's good for the greater media landscape our tears not all laughter all right but we are a solid alternative to the bullshit that we don't spew liberal or conservative and as you can see that is barbara we don't skew the facts either talking you have left these talking head righties oh there you go above it all to look at world artsy americans in the spotlight down every lead whatever noise you can to classify as and it actually took me way more time than i care to admit there's a real irony going. to play a prank not a responsible way to new people and there is always well that's what the that's always been it's not something dealing ordinary now with wholesale surveillance you feel you have already while there's an untruth to show she was in trouble has used

the social media well i know it's our lead story because it's garbage and real genuine. greetings and salutations as details more and more have emerged regarding the los vegas shooters actions and arsenal we see law enforcement having now found forty seven firearms from three separate locations in his hotel room at the mandalay bay and at his homes and reno in mosquita nevada this event is the second worst mass shooting in u.s. history with only the massacre it will did me with the death toll of at least three hundred having a higher count but whether we're grieving over the slaughter of americans at the hands of the u.s. cavalry and eight hundred nine. the mass murder of nearly sixty people in

a matter of minutes by another civilian the tragedy is the same what has been ignored by many are the people who live and work in las vegas it's their home not a playground and their home is hurt today we'll bring you the latest on the ground in las vegas with team coverage including my watching the cots costar koza co-host tyrrel ventura our two correspondent natasha sweet and more from the fight for independence in catalonia now let's come together try and make sense out of out of the senseless and start watching the hawks. right now to. get the. real deal with. the bottom to see. what it's like you know that i got. three.

weeks of. welcome to watching the hops on top of the wall isn't joining me now live from las vegas is watching lots on tile and. allowed to out of there yes we are here in las vegas the town still still is seeming a very gut shot you know it's very it's like they all got punched in the got here and it is still kind of going through the motions of you know the entertainment beautiful town that it is but everyone still kind of walking around and kind of trying to cope with what happened you know i think earlier today myself and the taj just we were out in the streets talking to people i'd like to bring the time right now to talk about one of the witnesses that we were that we talked to who wanted to tell his story then and that was the important thing he came and said i want to tell my story i want to keep talking about this because it's going to be and that's why you talk to us today you lead to believe that it was. part of the healing

process as you know prayed for me he was one of the many survivors that i spoke with that you know he may be in one piece physically but mentally you can only imagine what they're going through all the pain and suffering running for their lives seen people die with their own eyes so he shared his experience like he said and fortunately it's an experience that for him is still all too real. to me realized what was actually happening i think once. when i first heard of the rounds of his first rounds of pop up up up up up up up up i'm up against the stage stage left against that huge monitor along with a bunch of people who were all still look around each other thinking it was fireworks look at the sky expecting to start to see sensations of things popping in the air that didn't occur then i'm thinking it must be some kid in the back street the rain across the industry or behind them thinking maybe he's back asana some stupid kid one of those big strands of fireworks but then it kept coming it was

echoing resonating all around us then we were thinking it just came out of the p.a. system because how integral does this be resonating like this but i look behind me at the crowd of twenty thousand people and i don't see anybody being blown apart so i'm thinking it's fake it's fake mean these guys are talking it's fake fake it was laying down we're praying it's fake and then also the third verse started coming and i started seeing people getting shot standing behind me and i'm kind of protected by the uprights of the whole stage because i am right up against the stage thank the lord twenty minutes for that i was no thirty feet back with other people dancing and i could have been in that group that was sprayed so for some reason i moved forward about twenty thirty feet that put me in a place where i wasn't subjected to. the firing and so first just fully and they became real then you saw somebody die with your own eyes what would your mind be sol a dead body i thought i was in a hawk. movie it just tripped me i couldn't believe israel keeps on myself it's not

real it's not real and it was so i could picture it my memory black gentleman with one of those light gray or those shiny green neon vest season usher and he's laying flat on his bag a bullet his head a pile of blood around i'm thinking holocaust movie how in the hell by end up here and just fear fear and then i end up getting right where i found him i was accident in his bottleneck the bunch of people that another burst around started happening i happen to be near the metal structure of the protected the butchering stage so i hit the dirt in a bunch of ladies kind of head behind this metal we're just listening and i'm just hearing her ricocheting bullets are all around me i'm thinkin to die here and my first said that the firing of the shot. i felt like. doing just a few days before her eyes i mean i think really helped with that power. i've talked to a lot of people my church had a vigil yes that morning i went to

a prayer vigil and i'm actually trying to process it and we have been reading the says if you discuss it it's healthy you don't bottle it up i want to give the hospital talk to some people yes they just to try to meet survivors like myself and and talk about it because if i bottle up i'm afraid of the crazy and i see you're still wearing your wristband from sunday night yeah it was telling you it's a verse that they don't. like. i don't want to forget. the toss a powerful powerful stuff certainly i mean the community is coming together and so far i'm well family page has been set at eight point eight million dollars has been raised so far very good thank you very. but for joining us our team forced out of

the toss this week you know i tell you when i you know walk around this community you know everyone knows bagus it's all about the entertainment it's all about the glitz it's all about the glamour the shows and i really wanted to get to the heart of how this tragedy has affected that part of this town that's lives that's with the lifeblood of this town so i talked to the iconic producer david sacks who has produced probably fifteen to seventeen major major productions here in town as two theaters in planet hollywood and his family has deep deep roots in vegas a history is father was a saxophone player and bandleader for the rat pack back in the fifty's and sixty's you know his family is that entertainment lifeblood of this town and he was he was nice enough to sit down with me earlier today and and talk about what happened and i started by asking asking david you know given his family's long history given its roots what about the city's reaction is a tragedy what about the city's reaction to this tragedy truly truly surprised him

shocked him let's take a listen to what he had to say. well i am shocked. we're all shocked but. there's so much going on in this town there's so many concerts and events and and i guess in retrospect now you think wow i can't believe something didn't happen sooner and there's just so many opportunities but i guess. the police and all the efforts here so heightened all the time that there. just goes to show you how effective it's been to date a slow cold people who are born here i was born and raised here there's just a vibe though. i guess this is the first time i'm ever feeling it and that's. we were hit at our home and that's never really happened never never like this and it's just boys it putting this community together everyone is affected in some way shape or form and i know so many people my my daughter's dance instructors. the lady. runs

a dance school and i see her every day it's looks like she's going to pull through though she got shot the test. i guess trumps meeting her today. but so many people you know my box office. one of my box office girls who discovered me last night and sent me a text that she's she's going to have to go back home and get therapy and she has to quit immediately because her best friend was shot right next to her and. i mean my carpenter here working here he was there his wife is a nurse and they were at the concert just left started to leave heard the gunshots went back because they just she just knew she's registered nurse and she just knew she was going to have to help people so there's definitely a sense of the community of while we have to help right away. that is it's amazing that we not have that i'm good and. yeah it's it truly is top of the truly is we

we've been speaking to so many people we all have you know friends we both have friends and people who live there and this is the thing that that hit me the most was how much they came together it really reminded me of a lot of other cities that have been through things like this such a show of strength. most definitely most definitely and you know the thing is that that's really surprising is i asked i asked david you know the next question is how is you know how is that entertainment community how is the show community responding to this like i said that's the lifeblood of this town you know vegas you know it's all about entertainment gambling people come here this is a tourist town but a lot of times because it's a tourist town we forget there is a community here but i asked him you know how as a producer of one of these shows what is the impact on that part of this business out here and shows entertainment what what's the impact this tragedy has brought let's take a listen to what he had to say. i'm very. old school you know i'm young but

i'm extremely old school and the show must go on and i. as soon as i heard. this happened one of the first things in my mind was i'm not going to let them win i don't know if it's terrorists i don't know what it is but regardless they're not going to win they're not shutting down entertainment they're not going to stop concerts shows that we do i was pissed and i said the show must go on we're doing shows we can't let this affect us and it wasn't. you know it sounds like it. has nothing to do with money or anything like that it was just that we're going to win i contacted a lot of my performers of about twelve or thirteen shows in town and i said how do you feel if you want to perform. and instantly everybody said yes we're getting back on that stage tonight even comedians which i did to be a comedian and go on like that that's but so hard but there was just a feeling of we have the show must go on we have to do it. the

show must go on it it always seems sort of trite to people who aren't part of but when you you know the theatre community especially in the entertainment community when these happens specially the live performances like this there is something so ingrained and performers that you're taught that no matter what you're there to either tell a story help people get through something just bring people together even if it's just especially in vegas the shows are about celebrating who you are and and this town and its history. to here that is is so incredible because there are so many people who don't understand that why it's so important and i think you know hearing it from someone who's been there and especially people have lived there their whole lives there's there's there's a there's a certain sort of love compassion. and strength that comes out of people from las

vegas that you don't always think about and see in me you know what happens in vegas stays in vegas ads. no you don't see it and david didn't do it you told me i didn't want to do that to make money i didn't want to in fact he actually opened up the theaters and so anybody who was affected could come and see the show because it bugged you know it they just need out a statement they just want to escape from the tragedy for a little while and get it out of there had come and see the show you know and just get it and just escape for a few hours and it was really incredible talking with them and you know seeing that reaction from what i saw the other you know one of the oldest families entertainment lifeblood of of that he said that you know really you just you felt our show and it was a good platform to get that out because we would ask the right question. we're going to be right back to go after the break as we go to break don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our full shows at r.t.

dot com coming up more from las vegas and tyrol's interview and an update from catalonia as the fight for independence from the spanish government keeps fighting status watching the hot. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every. story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out

there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ins up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know want they're working. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money corporate interests that's thrown down a lot of boys that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's where i come in. i'm michel martin america i'll make sure you don't get railroad you'll get the straight talk in the straight news. but to.

larry king you're watching our amount per student more. and we're back with my co-host tyrell ventura live from las vegas. who we were talking you were talking earlier to a producer in vegas who really has been giving you some really interesting thoughts about the community there it seems that this is one of those events much like nine eleven or you know the oklahoma city bombing that sort of changes the town and really sort of test its metal it becomes a sort of touchstone to what what can be come out of this what else did. we learn

about that process and how this experience for vegas has been similar or different . walks exactly what i asked i'm just curious given his family's long history and how tied into the community he is here i asked him you know as there ever been obviously not in details but in feeling or just in emotion has there ever been anything similar that's affected by just over the years let's take a listen to what you have to say. there's nothing this deep ever it's awful but there was. there was a lot of fear in nine eleven we had no idea what was going on and you know everybody remembers that just because there are more is there more like mysterious . so i just you know i'm always fearful to want to be chicken little in the sky is always falling but most fearful just one one event here in vegas is over the whole town and everything because it's all on tourism. that you know people want to

trust that they can come here and be taken care of and so you know nine eleven happened and it was we were all terrified that the whole city would just close and be at the end of all of us but miraculously. it jumped back quickly. but here we are to have it done bagus is soldiering on that's the important thing i think that people need to understand the around the world and you know the united states is that you know vegas is going to weather this storm they're going to weather this tragedy and they're going to keep going and it will be the bagus we we've all remember it might be slightly different but at the end of the day the show must go on yeah it's one of those things that you you know it is with with what mr sachs was saying is the idea that it's you know the show must go on and the in the business of show isn't isn't about necessarily business for performers there is a path you have to be passionate. and part of that is helping people through the worst

and the best times of their life and being there and the healing process there's a spirituality to coming together and watching things and that's something that vegas brings and especially and this brings it together thank you so much for that interview and your work out there will be talking to you again tomorrow thank you so much for you and great work. for you to. keep the show running well and. working on it. as being remains in a state of turmoil the european union is perplexed by how to handle the most significant internal crisis to date after a full day of debate the e.u. appears to accept the violent tactics embraced by spanish national police against catalonian voters in this past sunday as independence referendum meanwhile in spain the government has begun deploying military forces in response to continued threats by catalan officials to make good on the electoral outcome and unilaterally proclaim independence for the latest details we are joined by our party's honest

from catalonia. the events unraveling in screen are seen as the biggest crisis this country has seen in a generation not only because it could change the map of spain but also so potential seeds of examples across europe now this latest wave of division started on october first after a highly anticipated referendum that was really years in the making where ninety percent of the people who came out to vote voted in support of leaving spring now throughout the day of the referendum images of what unraveled. travels throughout the world where police entered polling stations and took away voting ballots the crackdown on people who came to vote it was seen as quite scandalous by many observers throughout the world that over eight hundred people ended up being injured according to council on a sorties and divisions have been flying as well as what happens next here and.

as well as in barcelona in the castle on top it all we have seen throughout days people coming out on to the streets to protest in favor of independence to oppose independence just on tuesday tens of thousands of people had come out onto the streets. stalling traffic businesses had shut down to support a general strike as well as transportation areas were closed and major streets throughout barcelona as tens of thousands of people called for the results of the independence vote to be seen as legitimate now what's crucial here is that madrid throughout this whole time has said that the referendum is illegal they've actually at some point refused to even acknowledge it following even the hundreds of people that were injured the vote on ravelled and this debate between barcelona and madrid does not seem to be coming to any kind of resolution because barcelona and catalonia keep insisting that they're going to go ahead with the results of the referendum what kind of shape this is going to take remains to be seen we do know

that the parliament has just unfolding an emergency session as early as monday next week to discuss the process of declaring independence the capsule on leader made a speech where he called upon mediation to take place between barcelona and madrid and he did say that the caps line institutions would go ahead with the referendum results but still would madrid refusing to accept any kind of form of catalonia leaving spain the issue of how exactly this big crisis is going to be a result here in spain remains to be seen reporting from barcelona mr situation especially for watching the hawks. i recently spoke with professor of international relations. about what some catalonians are being reminded up with the recent reports of police violence and government oppression. first of all i think after the battle over the first minicamp dillon's according i have spoken with many many cut the limbs it seems to me that many of them have. disconnected from the spanish

state. many people who i would call moderates were calling the spanish police forces. many hotels are refusing to host spanish police officers many cafes and many restaurants refusing to open their doors to police forces so i think we have reached a point of no return. that's the first thing then i also would like to say a personal note. from my experience. with schools from different parts of catalonia i spoke in particular with the people i would really shock me while i was interviewing them was the fact was this is a sentence which was repeated over and over again by different old men and old women and these was that they had already seen before that they had experienced such repression before but this was nothing new for them that the house already

known such brutality forty years ago under the frog regime. thank you so much for joining us today. the western hemisphere seeing a new diplomatic crisis of its own as well and the united states and cuba jostling over embassy personnel with recent claims that the u.s. embassy staff have been suffering from health problems due to mysterious attacks on the compound the state department has taken drastic steps to recall its own personnel from havana and now also expelling cuban diplomats from the u.s. . visit the heart of cuba's immigrant community in miami to find out how cuban americans are reacting to the re-emerging divide between our two countries the cuban coffee window at little have on a restaurant has been the focal point of many heated political conversations.

this morning the expulsion of cuban diplomats from washington dominated the dialogue you know when you for doing a job of more restraint or respect united states. growth in the u.s. and a meeting on tuesday the trumpet ministrations said it was expelling fifteen cuban diplomats in response to my. it's of mysterious sonic attacks which have injured twenty two u.s. diplomats and their family members in havana u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says quote the decision was made due to cuba's failure to take appropriate steps to protect our diplomats in accordance with its obligations under the vienna convention this order will ensure equity in our respective diplomatic operations the move comes days after the us pulled roughly sixty percent of its embassy staff from the cuban capital the castro government has

vehemently denied any involvement in the incidents and is cooperating with an f.b.i. investigation during a press conference on tuesday the country's foreign minister said the expulsion will strain bilateral relations with the us. the unjustifiable unmotivated political position to demand fifteen to be diplomats from our embassy to leave the united states is completely political act which only benefits those who want to derail the ability of both countries to improve relations. as president continues to on wind the detente between washington and polls show sixty five percent of american voters support policies of engagement with cuba. francisco is among those who supported president obama's effort to reestablish ties with cuba after decades of isolation i see dyson how do you demand their basic bargain for the relation between cuba and the usa i try to make

a trade show you certainly know all this nobody friendly with the cuban government . really it any. better here nation with their usa others don't see the embassy drawdown as a game changer for those was when. the bullying. that these something going to portland. no the moving will but he's a political maneuver that. while the trumpet ministration hasn't blamed the castro government for the mysterious attacks the u.s. has stopped processing visas for cubans seeking to visit the u.s. a travel warning has also been issued for americans who want to visit cuba meanwhile the fifteen diplomats expelled on tuesday have been given seventy's to leave washington reporting from miami marina port r.t. . now just can't seem to find
