is no longer trustworthy. 30 minutes, that's when i'll be back with another full and fresh look to see if our team's connect me ah. join me every 1st on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then me the las vegas was the last resort. it was like tombstone territory, where all outlaws go to die. mom was real generous with everything they gave. the rooms away, the drinks away. the only thing they were concerned about was just making money on the gambling table. food and rooms and all that was just seen as the service to

keep the machines turn. and you always felt welcome even if you were poor. because we were all 4, walked out the door for the last bar, right. you could lose all the money that you had and you'd be can't dinners and breakfasts is and rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas, you come back. the next year and blow your money again, the main crime was skimming, and the monsters attracted their turf to the extent that they didn't want to draw attention and the st. criminals drew attention. so they stopped and got them out of town. we put them in a shallow grave over in san bernardino county, the old mob. it didn't allow street crime when the mob ran the town. people didn't lock their doors at night. it was considered to be a safe town back then. my officers were skimming money off the casinos and not paying taxes on that money, but in the 1980s they started getting caught. so you're starting to see a transition from the old kind of monitors with those as 2 suits run into place. this is a totally integrated, balanced resort,

a man who turned up the wattage in las vegas. his casino mobile steve, when he set off a building boom and the 1980s that turned a bunch of gambling joints into an international tourist bought the when was the reason why vegas is the way it is. he's responsible for when he sold the gold nugget and he built the mirage. he changed las vegas tropical setting with lagoons, an adria tall palm, and you can see the show room where the green roy are going to perform a loaded . that's where the template for the current las vegas casinos ball from las vegas started to change or get rid of the small and c knows going more into the corporate world. big money. we're starting to run the town as opposed to the people that live there. when we started seeing the implosion

that also come down and all the new stuff was coming out. all these new mega resorts, ah, in the mid evolving, was gone through the family friendly phase. over here they decided to build a deep bark on the back of the property. it was starting to become a place you could bring your kids to. and then they realize all these people here spend the time with their kids or not casinos on the team by motels. jim resorts international over other these properties and seizures owns most of the rest of what's left outside of that. you have like the when the com on them and those are owned by other people. but for the bulk of it, you just have gym resorts, international fees are made for all. and all of the corporations took over vegas and it went from 880000 people in 1992, around one and a half 1000000. by the year 2000 the population almost doubled in the money. do

a lot more than double agent blue m g. i started taking over the town. they bought the mirage in 2000. and steve went to some of the 4400000000 sold for an open when i'm steve went in, this is my new hotel. the only one i've ever signed my name, and that's where steven data became a regular, frequent visitor once or twice a month. he's been staying in las vegas and so 6. so we were talking about 11 years, a picture of steve holding $250000.00 check signed by steve. when steve came in, they said we got your room mr. pat. steven was well known on manley bay property. sometimes he was moody. never mean to any of us. spell people just man a very few words. he was a highland gambler,

a guy by the name of richardson owned man lay bay. he would actually come down and shake our hand. and he was very personable. and that when steve adam was on a real did winning street, when richardson owned the company, he would when i got texts from him where he goes there, calling my name for the 4th time. i'm sending mary lou up to get because he got like 5 or 6 things in the drawing for a car. and he had 3 quarters of the tickets in the drums. when he needed to burn points to go to their store and buy a bunch of, you know, $350.00 sunglasses and $450.00 watches, and then i get a box. as long as you got cash, you get an a judge. you're getting the dinners, you're getting the 82 patrol. there's $20000.00 a bottle tv. it would show her my mom's house. she used to when

planning. he did very well. gambling. he knew what he was doing. that all ended once m g m bought mandalay bay changes came immediately. we got light bulbs for a christmas gift. but the text us $17.00 on our check for it. so it wasn't a gift. we bought a light bill for our christmas kids. m g m international tightened up a whole bunch of policies and procedures and they started pinching the high limit gambler a little more stop fulfilling. they didn't make any money on him. so what would they do? they would say, oh, we're sorry steve, but there's going to be 3 x points tonight from midnight to 6, but you don't get the 3 x points. and then when they broke the deal, he was the deal to be off. they were jerking around a lot, they were line doing about his cops. i've seen this countless times with other

gamblers. i limit gamblers would lose 500000 leave thought so mentally they would have this recovery team, man, they put their chapstick on and start kissing a lot of smoothing things over for him. losing the amount of money he lost and they would promise him all these caught free weekends. stay a nice week and then you got me. the bell guy goes in to go get his free room and all the sudden hotel towers fully committed, which means there aren't any rooms available, but they can sell him a upgraded room. this highly meant when gamblers, thinkin casino hotel mails me 2 days ago, confirming my cops, i get here and i have nothing. and i've already paid $100.00 for valet. i've given the bill guy 20 guys to escort me and now i got a picture,

$500.00 for my room that supposed to be working as a bill person for 13 years. i saw it continuously thinking everything is going to be caught. and when they get there, nothing is count. this deceptive practice comes from the very top, m g m and mentally be they definitely want to hi, all these tricks. they pull on gamblers, they're there to make a winner, a loser. he wasn't successful in the gambling as he had been in previous years, a substantial portion of his wealth had diminished. and that could have been a contributing factor. when you blow your cash in vegas, you go from mr. she, mr. p. mr. g to get they don't want you know more. your kids shy assurance you blow your cache, you can't get a friggin. french fry steam, gambled, $1600000.00 at the mandalay in the week before he did this. i got the last 4 years

of his w to g. i got tax records show that when he came in at the mandalay and they wouldn't give him the room you want, if you sat down and gambled a $1000000.00, so they given the room, he wanted violence behind gambling loss is not something that doesn't happen. he was really, really angry with the gaming industry. i think he wanted revenge for the money he lost at mandalay bay to leave. and jim international falls. he's still got 2 houses. he's got all these guns and ammo. irene, this is not some guy that lost a $1000000.00 and decided to go home and pack up his guns. he planned this money there and many questions for us to release a timeline. and today we have one general side. first shots, fired by the suspect to team last, shots were fired. team officers arrive on the 32nd floor to the security officer

tells the officer as he was shot. and here's the exact location of his room. $1120.00 officers entered the suspects room. they observed the suspect down on the ground. the says the metro timeline of the shooting is not correct. i am very well aware of the m g m statement provided yesterday. i agree with their statement the timeline associated with the original chart and mr. campbells has changed, metro now says campbells were shot closer to 10 o 5 aligning m gm's time table released yesterday, which says campbells were shot at nearly the same time or within 40 seconds of the mash, shooting outside. not the 6 minute gap given earlier this week by police o, pacers campus was given an amount somewhere in the neighborhood of $300000.00 for his silence. he was also gifted to condos, and those come to the chain of about $2500.00 a month each. so as $5000.00 a month,

that has gifted him in the form of a residential. and that came about the time that he was supposed to be on 5 different television shows, doing interviews. suddenly he canceled shortly before the interviews were to occur and said, he just showed up on the show where they came. and he shot through this door right from behind the door. i don't know how he was shooting out of all the investigative reporters that we have that can ask hard questions. i mean, ellen de generous, who happens to have a whole line of slot machines that are sponsored by the m g m resorts. wow. so and i mean really he saved your life and he said also the woman that came out of the, the door to you stopped everything. and sam, jim resorts in mandalay bay did everything right. he just threw himself balls in like she was telling him what happened. there was a metal bracket holding the door in place. right. so what we're talking about here, just so right is clear. ok. so the only dam interview that he did was on a tv show,

you just want this to be over, so you're talking about it now and then you're not going to talk about it again. and she managed to keep him out of contact with any media. and they made sure that instead of hearing the facts from his mouth, we heard the fox from their mouths. mm. we are getting a better idea of what may happen to the 1 october shooting site, m g m resorts and metro are reportedly talking about the construction of a swat building on a portion of that site. you would think of your com, which of interest to give the investigating such enormous area known as one of the biggest village is valued at about $30000000.00. we know we're on our suggestion by you guys were over $30000000.00 in this entire event and investigation happened in an election year where joe on barto was

campaigning to continue to be in the sheriff. he raised over a $1000000.00 me las vegas boulevard. stand up and say, this is where we're going to put our money, because if we want to have electric, and then they could more than a $1000000.00 into share of jo lombardo so nobody else is going to win. if they try to run behind them because they're the power machine behind minutes, the gaming industry got a 1000000 bucks to spend on g. b. all the hotels want to because he's going to do what they tell him to do. i don't want anybody assuming that they are unsafe fight stage. one of our hotels, almost every press conference, you saw one figure and that seems to work. he didn't see gum understandable there. he didn't even carolyn gumi, the mayor there. but you always saw steve's this lag in the background. he was on every national television, sad face time using this as a springboard for his political campaign.

ah, ah, with these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger. survive something on survival. one of the hardest things that i had, the face was not having a face at a low patient that accepted the accept the fact that i made that appointment. we had no fears. del change pretty fast for shots. different

stories behind the bullets were in miami for a big boy, 4040 was actually safety. we're at the 1st conference and frog in 2011. there were about 40 or 50 people there. here in miami, got 12000 tickets, all the crowd, or 184-5000 mat out a sick way to get to go global. take over the drive and put all the circle back out of business. always be polite, never engage with an aggravated or confrontational office. don't get into any conversation to start answering questions. just ask for an attorney to survive in interrogation. you've gotta be ready. you're definitely don't want to

be going to trial in a jump. so one cups you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty when you are, if you're poor, you got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice, usually going to date yourself a whole me see this last for about 3 years and grandstanding on this vegas. strong movement, use an elevator and they were following through with i'm a journalist with the las vegas tribune and i tried reaching out to the vegas strong resiliency center. i couldn't get anybody on the phone. they wouldn't answer

emails. i couldn't get any answers on where this money had gone. if somebody had gone anywhere, i was told i was going to get back to the amount of money and i didn't, you know, make it separate. they didn't get it christmas. my son's birthday followed up. he didn't get any birthday presents and his definitely ross rest of the year for me. i felt helpless and there was in the i could do to support my family. that's definitely taking a child can change my life as a mother. and i took my kids down, i do as i let them down, but they understand and the big thing for my kids are very, very great, amazing children and they get in there. they're still there for me. there's a lot of broken people that haven't got the help that they needed. my manager daughter was there, she was injured. she had to go back into walter after happened. she couldn't stand up for work. she was a shot at the s l. s. and they fired her because she couldn't work. she lost her

own divorce to see if they got a strong on the fire trying. medic was, all town was all in. we all got the moodle. and i want to get coffee in the window of dunkin donuts and they were selling vegas strong t shirts out of the window. everybody had their hands in this big marketing point. the people that were victim eyes continue to be victimized because they have not received the funds provide for making more beloved everything. you know, we can do one of, you know, cable no money. no christmas. nothing. rhetoric didn't want to be home because always the medicaid, you know, we drinking and i would never ever allow myself to be in that way. ever prior to actually ruin. i'm ok one minute the next little thing that can destroy eric and i talked to my sister by and she told me to pray and

it's not anything you know, you'll never know what happened back there and we'll never know that's doing that. i feel, you know, it's dark and i said by my phone number a few minutes later and somebody was made on my door scheme and me and they need to knock me down the road front in my life. kids are on and i let them down and it's just so hard when i see it, you know, they're not part of their help at all. nobody wants to do anything i reach out for how many times social law was made products for every penny. really it's donated for all over the world for the shooting. there's never been any distribution, distributing and receiving what money or media is pretty silent about the whole

thing. they're letting people forget about it and i don't think we're willing to like, there's always somewhere that a politician can blame. and i will say that while i was the fundraiser, but i'm not responsible for distributing what the hell you're not. because if you're not going to distribute the might the victim why collect in, i think the community tober 1st is a tragedy, but just a lack. he thought as an opportunity. every time there was an event that involve vegas. he was there walking around, making certain that he got face time. you know, they're not in. this community is short sighted, sofa didn't never showed before. and i'm really proud. last day, 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 dispersing any money. he liked it, a lot of money raised over $10000000.00 and it is on my building. it's over 10 feet

long and it's under on the street. i've been a business owner and john los vegas for over 10 years. and i just, i love my community and i thought we were helping and we are not. and i don't know where that money is at, but it's not getting to the people that need the victims aren't getting it. the victims are missing their rats. they're missing their mortgage payment. eventually the funds were distributed, but they weren't 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 rent due the car payments to the insurance to do that. is when they needed the help, they didn't get it. emailed me shortly after the shooting. and they said that they realized that i was horrible. and they'd like to offer me a 10 percent coupon on my next day at one of their properties. because obviously a 10 percent discount in a hotel room is going to just make everything go away and make all the victims. forget the hell that we suffered through that night. with the check engine light,

making my day to check my record. and we have information on the 25th i told you previously the 28th, or you got the timeline change in 3 times. only because people were calling out things from the valley. ma'am, yes ma'am. that's not how we conduct this are so good. so i'm presented with the question before and i don't know why doug press conferences, ma'am official timeline, please stop asking your question. you got really angry and that lady was never allowed in the room again shortly after they did. she is the timelines that matched the independent journalist findings. sometime late october, i was here and i noticed that there is a camera here mounted on the outside of this business. and i was wondering if that actually caught any of the photos from people coming through here. if i could take a look at and see if i could access the information. and actually, you know, the videos on fox news to me and drag what appears to be a fallen victim in the parking lot. the business owner who possesses this team

tells us that no law enforcement officer or a government investigator has ever seen the video for even asked to see if you would think that the l b m p, d, and the f b. i would want every piece of evidence that they could possibly get their hands on it. we have hundreds of agents covering every facet of this investigation. nothing will be overlooked. cheerful bartow promised a comprehensive investigation into the damages of the stephen pad, a crime scene. and we still haven't received the results of this comprehensive investigation. so i decided to call into a radio show in which share from bartow was answering questions involving to leave the images. man, you promised me interesting. and then you would let us know that outcome was what day. and you're waiting. frankly, we're pretty comprehensive investigation. we try to run that. the ground that we were never able to do with source of the leak was the department with over

$600000000.00 budget. yeah, they couldn't figure out who really images from a cell phone. imagine that in my opinion, share from bartow is line. certainly not the 1st line he's told him i want to over for the 1st time used to see the last names to say community. yes. is it a safe tours community? yes. during your fun bartos reelection campaign, a violent crime 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 during 1 october. and there's also 2 other homicides. did it also didn't take into account, so you had 60 homicides that were not included in this report. so the crime rate ashley was the highest in las vegas history. if you include the 60 day so conveniently, left out. my name is doug papa form

a police officer deputy sheriff in criminal investigator 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 off, so we buy hancock out on the radio and said we have an actual discharge. but none of that was released publicly. jo bottle do same thing about the actual discharge library. the story about a month later in the boss or polls, examiner and a lady came out and said there was an actual discharge kind of expose the fact that he hadn't been entirely to school with him. and that was when a lot of people started asking questions about why we weren't being given the whole truth accidental discharge, excuse me. he was tell him to jump in. he does have a paid puppet. he's a liar. there is no conspiracy between the f b i between l m p and the m g m. nobody is attempting to hide any story

when you try to hide a breeze, conspiracy theory stick it breathes. people saying, why is eli and he's a liar, the covering this up becoming not up. if there was a conspiracy, it was conspiracy to cover up negligence and a competence one of the storage. a title was joe, bottle ally or competent. both the word and competence has been brought forward and i am absolutely offended with that characterization shut down. all the press conferences, shut the out of the information and the story just started to go away. and then shortly after that you get the radio encryption where the public's no longer allowed to listen to the police scanners out of the 23rd and let her pull out the ability to listen to what's happening in the city. and they were getting called out on a daily basis for the inconsistencies,

and they kept changing the stories. and i think probably all of that was based on the fact that people could check up by listening to the radio compared to the stories you can. you can see for yourself that they weren't tell the truth. the major news outlets have filed wall sued the lawn, forced me to turn over police records related to the 1 october shooting. and this is according to the only time which is one of the plane of for half a dozen, we got together lawsuit together to sue the las vegas miss ball police department over them 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 sure when barto decided to charge nearly half a $1000000.00 to get this information. another legal maneuver on his part to delay the release of the information 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

systems, we were mandated to provide body warn camera footage and document footage as part of a public information request, the las vegas metropolitan police department started releasing data. the only bits at a time from borrow, cherry picked which information you want to have come out before the election in which information was going to come out after the election. yeah, and there's not a new sure town where neighborhood is. jolen barto was re elected as las vegas. metro is shera and june of 2018. it wasn't until after that that he chose to release the videos of his officers cowering in the hallway, outside of steven products room instead of immediately entering to stop the possible threat of more people being shot at about hotel room window. ah,

me, ah. the media, a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer type relation or community? are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah,

the ah no stability or predictability from america. vladimir putin regrets the state of the relationship with the u. s. in an interview with nbc ahead of his 1st so met with president, but that is how stability achieved it cannot be achieved by imposing one particular point to view the correct point of view by turn calls a put in a worthy adversary. yet avoid giving a direct answer as to whether he's still think put in is a killer. and joe biden promises a half a 1000000000 doses of cobra jobs for poorer nations. but it seems that they won't be available for everybody. we look at how washington is favoring.
