your all for will walk out the door for the most part. right. you could lose all the money that you had and you be conte dinners and breakfasts is and rooms and everybody was a high roller when they came to vegas. you come back, you know, the next year and blow your money again, the main crime was skimming, and the lobsters detected their turn to the extent that they didn't want to draw attention and the sri criminals drew attention. so they stopped or got a matter tally, put him in a shallow grave. over in san bernadino county, the old mob 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. ma upstairs 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 marchers where the bat noses to suits ran into place. this is a totally integrated, balanced resort, a man who turned up the wattage in las vegas. his casino mogul steve, when e set off a building boom in the 1980s that turned

a bunch of gambling joints into an international tourist bought. see, when was the reason why vegas is the way it is. he's responsible for it. when he sold the gold nugget and he built the mirage, he changed las vegas tropical setting with lagoons, an adrian top homes. and you can see the show room where zig very roy are going to perform with a just exploded. that's where the template for the current las vegas casinos of all from las vegas started to change their get rid of the small, independent on just seeing those going more into the corporate world. the money was start to run the town as opposed to the people that live there. we started seeing the logins all that old stuff come down and all the new stuff was coming or all these new manga resorts.

mm. in the mid ninety's, all vegas was gone through this family friendly phase or new gym. over here they decided to build of the park on the back of the property. it was starting to become a place you good, bring your kids to and then they realize all these people here spend the time with their kids and on the casinos tear down the theme part will model tells him jim resorts international all over a dozen. these properties and seizures all, most of the rest of what's left and outside of that you have like the way the cards along 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 of all the corporations took over vegas and away from around 880000 people in 992 around one and a half a 1000000 by the year 2000. the population almost doubled in the money do a lot more than that, which is 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 wind. this is my new hotel, the only one i've ever signed my main to. and that's where steven path 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 . i've got a picture of steve holding a $250000.00 check signed by steve. went with steve came in. they said go, we got your room, mr. paddock. senior alec was well known on manley bay property. sometimes he was moody. never mean to any of us. sell people just man a very few words. he was a high limit gambler, a guy by the name of richard sin owned man, lay b 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 street. when richardson owned the company, he would, when i got text from him where he goes there cohen, my name for the 4th time. i'm sending mary lou up together because he got like 5 of the 6 things in the drawing for a car. he had 3 quarters of the tickets in the drum. when he needed to burn points, go to their store and buy a bunch of. uh, you know, $350.00 sunglasses and $450.00 watches and then i get a box. as always you got cash. you get an a judge. you're getting the dinners. you're getting the 82 petrucci, that's 20000 a bottle. t v 's, which over my mom's house. he did kick there, used to when plenty and 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 they taxed us $17.00 on our check for it, so it wasn't a gift. we bought a light bulb for our christmas gift. i am jam international tightened up a whole bunch of policies and procedures and they started pinching high limit gambler a 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 gotta 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 a, the deal's a deal. they were jerking him around a lot. they were lying doing about his camps. i've seen this countless times with other gamblers. i limit gamblers would lose 500000 leave. so mainly 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 comped free weekend stay and a nice week and then you got me the bell guy goes in to go get his free room. and all of a sudden hotel towers fully committed, which means there aren't any rooms available, but they can sell him up upgraded groom this high limit and gamblers think. 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. i've given the bill guy 20 guys escort me and i got to pay extra $500.00 for my room. that supposed be conked working as a bell person for 13 years. i saw it continuously thinking everything is going to

be caught. and when they get there, nothing is comped. this deceptive practice comes from the very top, m g m and mentally big. definitely want to hide all these tricks. they pull on gamblers, they're there to make a winner, a loser. he wasn't successful in gambling as he had been 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. see, mr. p. mr. g. to get the. i didn't want you no more. your kiss, the shy, the sure is. you blow your cache. you can't get a friggin. french fry. steve gambled, $1600000.00 at the mandalay in the week before he did this. i've 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've given the room. he wanted violence behind gambling losses. it's 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 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 plan this since money . there have been many questions for us to release a timeline from today. we have one to 5 for shots fired by the suspect. 2 team last shots were fired. so g officers arrive on the 32nd floor. a security officer tales still be in p officers. 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 and says that metro's timeline and 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 shock. mr. tampa has changed. metro now says campus was shot closer to 10 o 5. aligning with the em. gm's time table released yesterday, which says campus was shot at nearly the same time, or within 40 seconds of the mass, shooting outside. not the 6 minute gap given earlier this week by police wasters 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 tune of about $2500.00 a month. each so as $5000.00 a month that is gifted in the form of a residence. and that came about the i'm 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 ellen show with a cane and a lamp, 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 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 that also the woman that came out of the door to hugh stopped everything and m g m resort 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 everybody is 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 fax from his mouth, we heard the fax from their mouths to tie. we are getting a better idea of what may happen to the 1 october shooting site, m g m resorts at metro are reportedly talking about the construction of a swat building on a portion of that site. do you think you'd be a conflict of interest to give respondents investigating such an enormous diphtheria known as las vegas village is valued at about $30000000.00. we know we're on our investigation by you guys. a few months ago. that's worked over $30000000.00 in this entire event investigation happened in an election year where it jo lombardo was campaigning to continue to be the sheriff. he raised over a $1000000.00. ah.

las vegas boulevard. stand up and say this is where we're going to put our money because this is who we want to have elective. and they got more than $2000000.00 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 tv. all the hotels want him because he's going to do what they tell them to do. i don't want anybody, you're assuming that they are on say, fight, you know, say that one of our hotels, almost every press conference, you saw one figure and that was steve's his leg. he didn't see gum understandable there. he didn't see even carolyn gumi of the mayor there, but you always saw steve, 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

. join me every thursday on the alex simon, she'll but i'll be speaking together in the world of politics, sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh 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 that it's, oh, i'm just going to try this one and then never do it again because they one life 11 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, jumped office about the balcony and died

he knew these as it states, he 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 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 confuse customers and dump a sick so also right and 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 decisions and determine to get to with 10 who dies to me, that's best getting away with murder a, with your sins, grandstanding on this very strong movement. you've got an elevator to do it and they weren't following through it. and 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, my kids effort. they didn't get at 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 felt helpless and there was any i could do to support my family. that's definitely taken a child can change my life as a 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 help that they needed. my managers daughter was there, she was injured. she had 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 child. divorce. see they got the very strong on the fire. try got mad. it was, the old town was all in the we all got bamboozled and i went 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 right from i think we. ready were we lost everything, you know, we kids did one of, you know, people, no money and no christmas, nothing radar 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 actually ruin um okay. one minute. the next thing that can destroy it. 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. it's, you know, you know, it's dark and i said by my phone number

a few minutes later and somebody was me on my door scheme and me and they need to go down and see rose flint and my wife 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 over the world for the shooting. there's never been any distribution issues receiving was 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 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 money to the victim, why collect in? i think the community tobar 1st is a tragedy, but just like he thought as an opportunity, every time there was an event that involve vegas, i was there walking around, making certain that he got a dis, community issue decided itself and it never showed before. and i really proud it lasted i saw i'm 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 in downtown las vegas for over 10 years. and i just,

i love my community and i thought we're helping and we're not good. i don't know where that money is out, but it's not getting to the people that need it, but the victims aren't getting it. the victims are missing their 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 my it 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 the hotel room is going to just make everything go away and make all the victims. forget the hell that we suffer day that night. you're here for the check into the 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 with graham . yes ma'am. that's not how we conduct a service. okay, but he kind of, i'm presented with the question with. ready 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 there shortly after they did. here's the timeline 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 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 when actually, you know, the videos on fox news, truman drag what appears to be a fallen victim in the parking lot. the business owner who possesses this tape tells us that no long foresman officer or a 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 steven paddock, 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 the interest again and then you would let us know when that outcome was going to that day and you're waiting frankly not the comprehensive investigation. we try to run lead to ground. there we are. larry will do interior and who are the leak? was the department with over 600000000 dollar 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 or the 1st time used to see the public. his 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 that we lost during 1 october. and there was 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, did they so conveniently, left out. my name is doug papa form a police officer deputy sheriff and 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 he by hancock out on the radio. he said we have national discharge, but none of that was released publicly. jo bottle do the same thing about the actual discharge library. the story about a month later in the baltimore post examiner and a lady came out and said it was an actual discharge. it kind of expose the fact that he hadn't been entirely truthful with the public. 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's a liar. there is no conspiracy between the f b i between l e m p d and the m g m. nobody is attempting to hide any story. when you try to hide a conspiracy theory stick it breathes,

people saying why is eli and he's a liar, the covering this up becoming that if there was a conspiracy, there was conspiracy to cover up negligence and a 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 get to radio encryption where the public's no longer allowed to listen to the police scanners out in, on january 23rd and a public ability to listen to what's happening in the city. and they're 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 they weren't tell 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 . and 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 at 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 about that. los 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 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 from bartow cherry picked which information you wanted to have come out before the election and which information was going to come out after the election . and there was not a new share of been down with. jo lombardo was re elected as las vegas metro. it is sherise 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 paddic ram. instead of immediately entering to stop the possible threat of more people being shot at a hotel room window. ah, with posted a chill, tristan's goal is to chill to begin with, which one is a bad though?

it was just my william like he's been without the school is out of it. i see what was left the keenest eyeball with water. with that, if you can squeeze you machine that it with no, i mean logical, put them out with a female power us for you with those diagnosed with cancer in 2000. so 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 industries and best kept secrets, is fostering one and the biggest player is $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic, and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aquifer. a chronic o g. i don't want to hear that word polish thing, but that's what it in 2013 my, all our family dog, my brother, who was 21 years old, myself and my father. and we're all guy with rob problem with black hole and the good player. right? yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually we're that help is more important in

a ah as well celebrates the new year with spectacular fireworks coming up this. so we look at some of the positive predictions them being made for 2022. with financial experts for cost in the global economy fed to grow while inflation they think will start to full according to one major investment bank. anyway. out of course we review the year just go on with a look at some of the big political spots that unfolded, including a controversial defense field. so from said login heads with exact life with
