9:41 pm
there's been multiple, multiple phone calls and accusations or conjecture coming through social media. that there is multiple shooters at other resorts that has been proven to be false. within less than 12 hours get already dismissed the possibility of multiple shooters. he had already dismissed the possibility of it being terrorist related, we believe it to solar after a lone wolf type actor. and we have to place our under control. this crime scene included the mandalay bay. it included a venue that was 4 times long as a football field. it included the streets around the venue. it included what people heard of the tropicana. there were people that passed away as far away as the street in front of shooters. so i don't know how it could have been investigated
9:42 pm
within less than 12 hours. ah. with with 2021 rapidly coming to an end to this time for some reflection. what will we remember about this year? how did our lives change? also, we look forward to the new year. what does 2020 to have in store for us? will we be live in interesting times in colorado to came on the test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana and it started with something so innocent. i was wanting to socialize, everybody does it so i cannot, and then it just keeps going and going and going. i'm just gonna do it once. yeah.
9:43 pm
and then it's, oh, i'm just going to try this once and then never do it again because they want my phone with them on and i'm right on inside. okay. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it and not to stop. oh, it felt like my life was over just opposite of balcony and died. mm. you just couldn't stop it states, it has to be rich to be able to afford enzyme and find the luxury that for sure. despite having the most expensive health care system in the world, we have poor life expectancy. we have higher infant mortality. we have
9:44 pm
more deaths from treatable causes. so americans are suffering every day from it. it's as if these people don't count. i saw how they can choose your customers and dump a sick so also a to satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should have to see what i saw. so if you're denying payment for someone's care, your make life and death decision and determine to get to live and who dies to me this best getting away with murder. with me, my name is my tara former intelligence and the air force. i was
9:45 pm
a senior intelligence analyst, and over the time that i did that job, i acquired a certain skill set and it becomes rather useful. and the type of situation that i found myself in, in las vegas in the very 1st task that was given by the attorneys, was to determine how safe or how secure their service elevators were. the aftermath of 1 october and jim resorts in mandalay bay promise to increase security, especially around the guest and service elevators. the service elevator is how the 1 october shooter got his weapons into his hotel room. you might think that elevator would be very closely monitored by the hotel, but perhaps not new key record. i was able to go up and down the service elevators at will without anyone ever asking me a question. this is my target making the same trip through the hallways and up the service elevator. something he said he's done $27.00 times since the 1 october
9:46 pm
shooting. this is the same service elevator. patrick used to transport his arsenal to his hotel room. he actually had help with the valet, bringing the weapons into a cart and up to his room. metro police here in las vegas confirmed a bump stock was added to the weapons pictured in those exclusive photos that i obtained. several images of stephen paddock relate to the media. what i can tell you is very trouble, but we have an internal investigation occurring, as we speak on how those photographs retain by public share from bartow, promised a comprehensive investigation, would be put out to find out the source of those like damages. ah, the former has worked in the night to do this. i all the big sunday these mass shooting at the roof. now you are recess identified all but 3 victims. you still
9:47 pm
have an active seen at the grounds near mandalay bay. there's a wonderful guy. his name is greg venus. he made all of these waycross the city a crisis and displays them at the las vegas. welcome side. i'm planning to put every name on these crosses. i'm trying to get every single photograph on the process. and this just shows everybody the severity. what happened here is you look down the road. i'd like to show everybody that we're sick and tired of murder here in america. we're talking about the largest mass shooting the history of the united states. 58 deceased victims. we have determined there is 851 individuals injured directly related to the 1 october shooting. the funded the sheriff and i set up yesterday. his house are past 53000 individual donations. this an excess of $3700000.00. they get strong, was a go fund me fundraiser, that was started by steve. so select and jo lombardo,
9:48 pm
steve says like running for governor and jo lombardo, who was running for reelection for sheriff of clark county. so at this point, i want to thank the community. i want to thank you for let me be your share and beggars stroke. it's popped up all over since the 1 october shooting billboards posters. and of course, on the internet as a hash tag vegas, strong more than just the phrase now a symbol of the city unity. we put the very strong upon the building just to kind of show no unity with the training that we're part of the movement along with a lot of other local businesses, we put to vegas strong up and we want to support the movement and help raise money for the victims it's the new guard and this is regarding dedicated for the victims october 1st to the hearing. garn is located in a nowhere of las vegas. there is no foot traffic in the world trade center $911.00
9:49 pm
memorial is that you know, on a river somewhere or is it near central park? no, it's on the side where that occurred. it's highly unusual to have a memorial site, 7 miles from the side of the massacre. me my 1st initial reaction that i feel like it was overdue for las vegas only because after $911.00 when i was to a. ready motor sergeant and a lot of reports came in that they might be trying to bring a tanker truck down the strip and crash it into something be an easy way to make a giant explosion, kill a lot of people after 911. so 1st time my life i ever went down the strip and i didn't see any taxis, hardly any cars, and no people when it's
9:50 pm
a saturday and it should have been packed and that went on for weeks. so there are definitely aware that if people thought there was a terrorist attack being carried out in las vegas, i think the room cancellations would be coming in fast and furious. multiple reports or multiple shooters coming in from all over the place. how are you louis area, are there any are are there is radio reports, but it's, you know, it's not like we haven't gotten false radio reports and they turned out to be unfounded. so you can't totally rely on a radio report origin civilian standards there might have been shooters. right now there's a now walking in with
9:51 pm
a mindful bellagio employee entering i believe that i heard a 2nd shooter at hooters, which may or may not be correct, but that's what i strongly believe that i had heard. and i know i wasn't the only one. so i called the las vegas police, and i told them exactly what my experience was included in the fact that i believe there was a 2nd shooter. i hooters. they told me that my recollection must be incorrect. perhaps they had been drinking too much that night. and that they were not interested in pursuing any leads that involved the possibility of it not being alone, wealth attack a at that point, felt like i wasn't being taken seriously. and i called the f b i. i told them the same information and they told me you need to stop saying that there was a 2nd shooter. if that's not what happened here, the shooting and then i pan up and you can see that stroke. i thought that was the
9:52 pm
shooter right there on the 10th floor. so here i am coming up here. and this is where i stopped. and this is where i was hearing the shooting. and of course, right above is room $134.35. most of the shooting that you hear through your recording. it sounds fairly justin. it sounds like it's coming from up there. like there's one burst where it's really loud. the f b. i came over and it was 9 days later and they said, oh, we're leaving no stone unturned and we just want to let you know that there was only one shooter and he's dead. and i thought, well, that's kind of weird. why did you just tell me 5 minutes ago that you're leaving us
9:53 pm
don't and turned in and really, you know, look and things up and now you're telling me there's only one shooter. i think the f b, i saw that people had seen my video millions of times and i'd been on in some interviews and wanted to make sure that i was telling people that there was only one shooter. he's dead. so you know and come on back to vegas, spend your money the machines are working if you're not feeling the one arm band and they're not making no money. and i think that's what they're afraid of. i think they're afraid of a period of time where people say it's not safe to go to vegas to china. very, very difficult time for us. and as we look forward to continuing with our great city, does that we offer a safe place. this is a crazy lunatic,
9:54 pm
full of hate. we don't know much about his background. the brother of the suspect isn't down. we are in contact with you along with other family members. my goal was to try to help the cops. i just tried to help them understand steve. psyche better and how people like us are we're not normal people. oh, my dad was on the 10 most wanted f b. i was for 9 years. there was no trail east. never got a year normally who goes out in june. some people does. she was a very smart guy and i was in business with him for 30 years and we did it right. i mean, we ended up with a bunch of $1000000.00. oh, working our way out from a duplex in north hollywood, 210 unit. oh, midville lane in mesquite, texas. he was retired and live playing
9:55 pm
frickin' video poker. when he was 40 years old, he was in the grid, w x, whatever they call their fancy club to be, wasn't doing it to get any richer. and he was doing it because you get to hang out in the hotel. it is nice and the people bring you drinks and they bring in, i spat shrimps and you get even really good restaurants. the goal was to gamble effectively enough to pay for all that stuff. so it didn't cost him anything. at the, at last we took over the whole top floor because he brought my whole extended family through there for a week because he had a bazillion points and he knew it was coming to an end there because they had started crunching down a little bit. and they pushed him out of reno by just cutting off his constant stuff. there was one place where the average person to come and they were
9:56 pm

as things that have happened in the world would be done by people who had a great vision of how society could be better. but that great vision is typically the left hemisphere representation is not real. it doesn't take into account any of the complexity of reality, the subtlety of how various and complex people i put them into categories is this lot is bad. we'll get rid of them. you know, and change is an organic. craig says, change is an evolution and the opposition is not between the status and everything . stay the same and everything must be ready to change. the radical change is not the way that kills.
