going more into the corporate world, big money with start to run the town as opposed to the people that live there. that's when you started seeing the implosion. all that old stuff that come down and all the new stuff was coming in all these new manga resorts. in the mid ninety's, all vegas was gone through this family friendly phase. jim la, over here, they decided to build of the park 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 non to casinos, tear down the theme part will model charles m g m resort international old over a dozen, these properties and seizures, all, most of the rest of what's left and outside of that you have like the when the com on that with those are owned by other people. but for the bulk of it, you just have gym resorts in the national and caesars. basically,

all the corporations took over vegas and away from have around 880000 people in 1992, around one and a half a 1000000 by the year 2000 population almost doubled in the money. did a lot more than double wages. blue m g. i started taking over the town. they bought the mirage in 2000. and steve, when took some about 4400000000, the more i sold for an open to win. i'm steve way and this is my new hotel, the only one i've ever signed my name to, and that's where stephen pad became a regular frequent visitor once or twice a month. it's been staying in las vegas since 06. so we were talking about 11 years, i've got a picture, a steve holding a $250000.00 check signed by steve. went with steve came in, they said go, we got your room mr. paddock.

ah stephen paddock was well known on mentally bay property. sometimes he was moody, never mean to any of us. so 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's when steve attic was on a really good winning streak. when richardson owned the company, he would, when i got text from him or he goes there cohen, my name for the 4th time, i'm sending mary lou up to get because he got like 5 of the 6 things in the drawing for a car. and he had 3 quarters of the tickets in the drum, when he needed to burn points, did 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're getting a judge, you're getting the dinners,

you're getting the 80 to protrude. that's 20000 a bottle. g 's, which over my mom's house. he did kick there, used to win plenty. he did very well gambling. he knew what he was doing. that all ended once m g m, i bought mandalay bay. changes came immediately. we got light bulbs for a christmas gift, but they taxed us $17.00 on our cheque for it, so it wasn't a gift. we bought a light bulb for our christmas gift. i am jam international tightened double whole bunch of policies and procedures and they started pinching the high limb and gambler little more and stop for filling cops. 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 6,

but you don't get the 3 x points. and then when they broke the deal, he was the deals a deal. they were jerking them around a lot. they were lying to him about his camps. i've seen this countless times with other gamblers. i limit gamblers would lose 500000 leave a so manly bay 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 comped free weekends stay and 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 up. upgraded room this? hi, marian gambler sink. and the casino host emailed me 2 days ago,

confirming my cops. i get here and i have nothing. and i've already paid a $100.00 for valet of given the bill guy 20 guys asked for me. and now i gotta pay extra $500.00 for my room that's supposed to be cocked working as a bill person for 13 years. i saw it continuously thinking everything is going to be cocked and when they get there, nothing is comped. this deceptive practice comes from the very top, m g m, and mentally bay. they definitely want to hide all these tricks. they pull on gamblers, they're there to make a winner, a loser. he wasn't as successful in gambling as he had been in previous years. so substantial portion of his wealth had diminished. and that could have been a contributing factor. when you blow your cache and vegas, you go from mr. she mr. p. mr. g to get. i didn't want elmore.

your cash to shy? the sure is you blow your cash. you can't get a friggin. french fry. steve 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've got tax records that show that when he came in at the mandalay and they wouldn't give him the room you want, he sat down and gambled a $1000000.00, so they gave him the room. he wanted violence behind gambling loss is not something that doesn't have it. 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 at fault. he 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 pre plan this since monday. are there any questions for us to release a timeline today?

we have one to 5 for shots fired by the suspect. 2 team. last shots were far too. so team officers arrive on the 32nd floor, 1018 security officer tells sylvia yasser as he was shot. and here's the exact location of his room. $1120.00 officers in the suspects room. they observe the suspect down on the ground. he says that 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 shar mr. tampa has changed. metro now says campus was shot closer to 10 o 5. aligning with the m gm's time table released yesterday, which says campus were shot at nearly the same time, or within 40 seconds of the math, shooting outside. not the 6 minute gap given earlier this week by police are,

this is campus was given an amount somewhere in the neighborhood of $300000.00 for his silence. here's also gifted to condos, and those come to the tune of about $2500.00 a month each. so it's $5000.00 a month that has gifted in the form of a residence. and that came about the time that he was supposed to be on 5 different and television shows, doing interviews. suddenly he canceled shortly before the interviews were to occur and said, he just showed up on the ellen show with a cane and a lamp, he shot through this door right from behind the door. i didn't know how he was shooting out of all the investigative reporters that we have that can ask hard questions. i mean, ellen degeneres, 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 the else or the woman that came out of the door to you, stop everything and m g m resorts and mandalay bay did everything right. he just

threw himself balls. is 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 as clear. okay. so the only dam interview that he did was on a tv top 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 the media. and they made sure that instead of hearing the facts from his mouth, we heard the facts from their mouths, but 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 figure be a conflict of interest to give response, investigating such an enormous diphtheria known as las vegas village is valued at about $30000000.00 or by you guys. lower school. i work over

$30000000.00 in this entire event investigation happened in an election year where jo lombardo was campaigning to continue to be in the sheriff. he raised over a $1000000.00 las vegas boulevard. stand up and say, this is where we're going to put our money, because it's who we want to have electric in the neighborhood. 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 there is a power machine behind a minute. the gaming industry, he's got a 1000000 bucks to spend on g. b. all ochoa want him because he's going to do what they tell them to do. i don't want anybody to assume that they are on say, fi, you know, say that one of our hotels, almost every press conference. you saw one figure. and that was, steve says, like he didn't see. governor sandoval there. he didn't see even carolyn gumi of the

mayor there. but you always saw steve's this lag in the background. he was on every national television set getting face time using this as a springboard for his political campaign. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community. are you going the right way? or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah,

join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, with a chill to begin with just my william, let's use a good i see with a couple of menu i wasn't deal at that. the appointment was put in that if you change case you machine that it did with no, i need to put that amount with power

storage with all those driven by dreamer shaped bankers. some of those with there's things we dare to ask was diagnosed with cancer in 2000. when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable, i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america, florida. one of florida is biggest industry and best kept secrets,

is fostering one. the biggest layer is $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic, and i there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aqua for a chronic. i don't want to hear that word poets, but that's what it is. in 2013 my, all our family dog, my brother, who was 21 years old, myself and my father were all a whole lot and they could play. right. yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually learn that more help is more important in a

sions grandstanding on this very strong movement. views the elevator and they weren't following through with i'm a journalist with the las vegas tribune and i tried reaching out to the vegas strong resiliency center. couldn't get anybody on the phone that wouldn't answer emails. i couldn't get any answers on where this money had gone. if the money had gone anywhere, i was told i was gonna get back to an amount of money and i didn't, you know, like you had suffered, they didn't get it christmas. my son's birthday followed up. he didn't get any birthday presents and his only rough rest of the year for me. i fell helpless and there was any i could do to support my family. that's definitely taken a child can change my life because the mother and i thought i let my kids down. i do, i feel like i let them down but they understand and they they get in. thankfully my kids are very, very great. they're amazing children and they get it and they're,

they're still there for me. there's a lot of broken people that haven't got the hell they needed. my managers daughter was there. she was injured to go back and jo wilcher, after it happened. she couldn't stand up for work. she was a shot at the ls and they fired her because she couldn't work. she lost her own divorce. see they got the very strong on the fire. try to be on medic, was the old towers all in the we all got bamboozled. 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 ploy. the people that were victimized continue to be victimized because they have not received the funds they can provide for my family or we lost everything. you know, we kids did. one of, you know, people you know, money and christmas. nothing rhetoric didn't want to be home because those of medicaid, you know, we drinking and i would never,

ever allow myself to be that way. ever prior to rule and i'm okay one minute in the next. you know, i'm not seeing that can district and i tested my sister by and she told me to pray and just hanging not even, you know, you'll never know what happened back there and will never know that's doing that. i feel you know, its 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 you down. i'll call and see rose in my life. kids are on and like i let them down in, it's just so hard when i see it all and they're not part of their help at all. nobody wants to do anything, every shout for how many times a lot of

products for everybody really it's donated for all the world. money for the shooting. there's never been. any distribution for receiving 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 let people. there's always somewhere that a politician can blame and sicily. 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 to select he thought as an opportunity. every time there was an event that involve vegas. he was there walking around, making certain that he got a dis,

community show decided itself and it 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 collected a lot of money for a raise over $10000000.00. and here it is on my building. it's over 10 feet long, and it's up there on main street. i've been a business owner, downtown las vegas for over 10 years. and i just, i love my community and i thought we are helping and we are not good. i don't know where that money is out, but it's not getting to the people that need the victims aren't getting it. the victims are missing the rat. they're missing their mortgage payments. eventually the funds were distributed that 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's due the car payments to the insurance to do that . is when they needed the help, they didn't get it. and jim emailed me shortly after the

shooting, and they said that they realized what happened that night. it was horrible and they'd like to offer me a 10 percent coupon on my next day. and one of their property is because obviously a 10 percent discount in the hotel room is going to just make everything go away and make all the victims. forget the hell that we suffer. that night. with my recollection, we have information on the 25th. i told you previously the 28th, you got the timeline change and 3 times only because people were calling out things . he has a dialing, ma'am? yes ma'am. that's not how we conduct a service. okay. but he kind of, i'm presented with the question with the ivr for him on it. that's not how i conduct press conferences, man official timeline. he's please stop asking your question. he got really angry and that lady was never allowed in the room again. and shortly after they did is the timelines that matched the independent journalist findings. sometime late

october, i was here and i noticed that there is a camera right here amount of outside of this business. and i was wondering actually caught any of the footage from people coming through here. so 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 tape tells us that no law enforcement officer or government investigator has ever seen the video. or 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 . we have hundreds of agents covering every facet of this investigation. nothing will be overlooked. cheerfully. bartow promised a comprehensive investigation until the damages of the stephen patted 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 illegally

images. man, you promised me interest again and then you know, that outcome was going to that day and your way frankly not the for any comprehensive investigation. we try to run the ground where we were never able to interior with source of the leak was we have a department with over $600000000.00 budget. yeah. they couldn't figure out who really images from my cell phone. imagine that in my opinion, share from bartow is line, and it's certainly not the 1st line he sold it. i want to over for the 1st time used to see the last name to say community. yes. is it a safe tours community? yes. during your fun bartos reelection campaign, a violent crime report was released to show that the violent crime rate in las vegas had been reduced when in fact it didn't take into account the 58 the last 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 actually was highest in las vegas history. if you include the 60, did they so conveniently, left out. my name is doug papa form a police officer deputy sheriff and criminal investigator. 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 had an actual discharge, but none of that was released publicly. jo bottle do same thing about the actual discharge. so i broke the story about a month later in the board post examiner and a lady came out and said there was an actual discharge kind of expose the fact that he hadn't been entirely truthful with about life. 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 and he does have a paid puppet. he is a liar. there is no conspiracy between the f b i between l m p in the m g m. nobody is attempting to hide anything. when you try to breathe, conspiracy theories that breathes people saying, why is eli and he's a liar, the covering this up becoming that up. if there was a conspiracy, it was conspiracy to cover up negligence and competence. one of the storage, the title was joe bottle. liar and 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 look out of the information and the story just started to go away. and

then shortly after that, you have to radio encryption where the public no longer allowed to listen to the police scanners out of hearing on january 23rd and a public ability to listen to what's happening in the city. and they were getting cold 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 even compared to the stories you can see for yourself that there were until the truth. i major news outlets have filed low suits, asking one forced me to turn over police records related to the 1 october shooting . this is according to the eli times, which is one of the plane of over half a dozen media. all those got together lawsuit together to sue the las vegas mesh, paul police department,

over them refusing to release these documents that the court ordered them to release. the supreme court ruled that all information was supposed to be given out immediately. so sure, lombardo decided to charge nearly half a $1000000.00 to get this information. another legal maneuver on his part to delay the release of information. i wanted to schedule 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 buddy warren camera footage and document footage as part of a public information request. the las vegas special quality employees from started releasing data that only bits at a time or from bartow cherry picked which information you wanted to have come out before the election and which information was gonna come out after the election. and there's not a new sure been down with jo lombardo was re elected as las vegas. metro is sherise and june of 2018. it wasn't until after that that he chose to

release videos of his officers cowering in the hallway outside of steven products, ram instead. of immediately entering to stop the possible threat of more people being shot at about hotel room window. ah, i became a 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 can i and then it just keeps going and going and going. i'm just going to do it was yeah. and then it's, i'm just going to try this one and then you never do it again because they want my phone because in the morning i'm right on inside. ok. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it and you not to stop. it felt like my life was over. jumped office at all balcony and died. mm.

he knew he just couldn't stop with oh oh yeah, it states it has to be rash,

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 more deaths from treatable causes. so americans are suffering every day from it. it's is if these people don't count. i saw how they can choose your customers and dump a sick tone also a to satisfy their wall street investors. no parents should have to see what i saw. 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.

ah . as the world rings in the new year, with fireworks illuminating landmarks around the globe. we recap some of the challenges of the past 12 months in scope. it continues to cover the shadow with some positive predictions. us inflation will retreat in the global economy will grow. that's the forecast ahead from a major american investment bank. we take a look at what to expect in the year ahead. plus, looking over our shoulder at some of 2020 ones big political spots that defy city defense deal that for from frozen out. as australia, britain of the us banded together pitting a long time allies against each with
