4:50 am
of problems. out for our. daughter. or the. distribution. they're letting people forget about it because. there's always somewhere down apologise you can blame and cicely will say that while i was the fundraiser but i'm not responsible for distributing well the hell you're not because if you're not going to just be the each of the victims why. i think the community saw her 1st as a tragedy but select the site is an opportunity every time there was an event that involved there just. he was there walking around making certain that he faced
4:51 am
before you go over your head with this community you should decide and so did never showed before you know it really proud mostly. i saw him jumping in front of cameras to show his support and to be real emotional about this horrific tragedy that happened but i didn't see him just bursting any money quite a lot of money. raised over $10000000.00. there is not much building it's over 10 feet long and it's up there on main street i'm going to business owner in downtown las vegas for over 10 years and i just i love my community and we're helping and we're not don't know where the money is up it's not getting to the people who need it the victims are getting it the victims are missing their they're missing their mortgage payments conventionally the funds were distributed but they were distributed at the time that the people needed it they needed those funds early on that's when the bills are racking up that's when the wrench to the car payments to the insurance is due that is when they needed the help they didn't get it. and g.m. e-mailed me shortly after the shooting and they said that they realized what
4:52 am
happened that night. and they'd like to offer me a 10 percent coupon and my next stay at one of their property is because obviously a 10 percent discount in a hotel or am is going to just make everything go away and make all the victims forget the hell that we suffered to name. your refrigerator to be the one to. my recollection we have information on the 25th. told you previously the 28th or you go to timeline change and 3 times because people were calling out things different and it came from an alley. ma'am that's not how we conduct just service ok we can get 5 percent with the question. you can the f.b.i. does not know i conduct press conferences ma'am. please stop asking your question and you get really angry and that lady was never allowed in the room again and there shortly after they did she. the timeline that mash it into a journalist's findings. sometime late october i was here and i noticed that
4:53 am
there's a camera here amount of mail so this business you know i was wondering if that actually caught any of the footage from people coming through here so i asked if i could take a look at and see if i could access the information and works in you know videos on fox news 2 men drag what appears to be the fall and sit down into the parking lot the business owner who possesses this tape tells us that no long force one officer or government investigator has ever seen the video or even asked to see it you would think that the l.v.n. p.d. and the f.b.i. would want every piece of evidence that they could possibly get their hands on we have hundreds of agents covering every facet of this investigation nothing will be overlooked. promised a conference of investigation into alleged images of the stephen petter crime scene and we still have ever seen the results of this comprehensive investigation so i decided to call in to a radio show in which sheriff and bardot was answering questions to city hall
4:54 am
believe it. promised if. you were going to. push for a cleaner pretty comprehensive restitution retrain romantic ground for would you introduce yourself to me 1st you have a department with over 600000000 dollar budget yet they couldn't figure out really images from a cell phone imagine that in my opinion sure from bartow is why it is certainly not the 1st lie he's told about want to talk for the 1st time he's deceive the public this last race are safe community yes it is are safe tours community yes. during your form are those reelection campaign a violent crime rate report was released. showed that the violent crime rate in las vegas had been reduced when in fact it didn't take into account the 58 that we lost
4:55 am
during one tobar and there's also 2 other homicides that it also didn't take into account so you had 60 homicides that were not included in this report so the crime rate actually was the highest in las vegas history if you include the 60 that they so conveniently left out. former police officer deputy sheriff and criminal vesta gator and i spent about 20 years in the casino industry as a director of security and i'm also a journalist i was listening to the radio static swat officer levi hancock on the radio they said we have actual destroyed but none of that was released publicly we want it all on your own little. job of this anything about the actual discharges so i broke the story about a month later in the border post examiner and they later came out and said there was an actual discharge they expose the fact that he had. the problem and that was when a lot of people started asking questions about why we weren't being given the whole
4:56 am
tray of accidental discharge excuse me to tell you you know to jump in. because he's a pretty good puppet. he's a lawyer there is no conspiracy between the f.b.i. between illian p.d. and the m.g.m. nobody is attempting to hide anything. when you try to hide it conspiracy theories breach people say and why is he lying he's a liar they're covering this up becoming that if there was a conspiracy it was conspiracy to cover up negligence and incompetence and even one of the stories he titled was was joe allbaugh to a lie or incompetent or both the word incompetence has been brought forward and i am. absolutely it offended with that characterization they shut down all the press conferences shut the pie. look out of the information and the story just started to go away shortly after that do you have
4:57 am
a radio commercial where the public's no longer allowed to listen to the police scanners out here. what happened. they were getting called out on a daily basis for the inconsistencies and they kept changing the stories and i think probably all that was based on the fact of people check up listening to the radio you can compare to the stories you can see for yourself that they were telling the truth. and your news outlets have filed lawsuits asking law enforcement to turn over police records related to the 1 october shooting this is according to the l.a. times which is one of the plaintiffs. over half a dozen media outlets got together a lawsuit together to sue the last 8 years most probably supported over them
4:58 am
refusing to release these documents at the court ordered them to release the supreme court ruled that all information was supposed to be given out immediately so sheriff cited to charge nearly half a $1000000.00 to do december maisha another legal maneuver on his part to delay the release of the information last judge ruled that las vegas metro police can not charge the media high fees to get records on the 1 october shooting at the behest of the court system. we were mandated to provide body worn camera footage in documented footage as part of a public information request the las vegas metropolitan police started releasing data but only bits at a time from bartow cherry picked which information you wanted to have come out before the election and which information is going to come out after the election. and there is not a new sheriff in town where do you think it is going to gel in bartow was as las vegas metro. in june of 2018 it wasn't until after that that he
4:59 am
chose to release videos of his officers cowering in the hallway outside of stephen patrick's room and said in a mediately entering to stop the possible threat of more people being shot out of the hotel room and out. it was spoken to be dated been published in the african scene we've seen good data from the. chinese but i've seen like any other vaccine if the data holds all you can call them a line on the basis of that statement. i would say you ought to be able the scientific basis for vaccines are given the thumbs up from a scientific or medical point of view we should be interfering with the process if it's all.
5:00 am
hungary's foreign minister becomes the 1st european official to receive the vaccine along with 1400000 of his treatise we have on the balance self who thinks politics should stay out when it comes to saving lives. meanwhile doubts linger over whether the vaccine causes blood clots and. some patients a counseling their appointments for the job despite the european medicines agency giving it the all clear. and the u.s. department of health admits the pressuring brazil not to use the russians putting the vaccine days before the 1st. brazilian strain of corona virus was detected in new york. when i was a.
