various and complex the belie puts them into categories says this love is bad, we'll get rid of them. you know, and change is an organic process. change is an evolution and the opposition is not the gene, the status and everything must stay the same and everything must be ready. key chains, a radical change is not the way that kills. join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess on the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah, don't we always been a child that knows how to make a spear people money. if it's in the way it's

drawn up in vegas. when the mob ran vegas, you would see stuff like car bombings and people would just go missing. and then they'd find them a couple months later when they were gonna do a new construction site or something like that. so that's kind of the way it was. you're grown up in the early eighty's, begin it up, dead in a ditch in the desert. it was probably because you try to get in the way of the money. in vegas, that's just something you don't do a with

them . my name is kate barton. i'm an attorney in san diego, california october 1st is a struggling point for me. in 2015. my mom passed away fairly suddenly on october 1st. so i was just kind of trying to put that out of my mind. so he got the cancer and we're just having a great time. there's something special going on. everyone, so friendly there were some swing,

a friend, and i were just having so much fun. i after coming home from 3 combat tours 10 years as a marine my 1st concert as an adult. it's like my 3rd time to vegas in my life. oh, there is $22000.00 of us singing god bless. join last night with with the lady in front of me said hey, is our gun for us and i think i recognize our marino's bill, cocky, to be honest with her pop up or yes or no doubt is, i'm sorry,

we need to start moving through. i knew what the sound was, but i didn't know where it was coming from. and then when he ran off the stage, that's when everyone realize something is really wrong. i knew people. how do you know i was going through this toner right here, turn on my cellphone and then the echo with the lights went off and i looked back to the girl in front of me who had initially fallen and her eyes were completely blank. and i realized that we were about slain in a puddle of fin checking reasonable. it's all over us, down the brown with i was never getting away from the bullets.

you're gonna die any a . i didn't know when that bullet was gonna come. i almost felt like it was inevitable. i well right move with a little little. yeah. i was running so bad. my phone got stuck on the truck it and i want to run out of my elbow popped up out of my our take them out. a man ran up next to me and crouched down right beside me and said, as soon as the stops you have to run when the bullets stop, i said,

i don't know where these bullets are coming from as you turned to point and the mentally bay direction they're coming from over and then i heard a tang and he fell backwards into my lap and i looked down at his space and there was a bullet hole above his eye. and i screamed and just kept running. m g m live nation, have concrete barriers randomly behind our booth. so when the crowd started filtering in, i got pushed over the concrete barrier from the booth because the people started tearing down the big sick walls for us to get out in complete chaos. here's 22000 people and we're all trying to get out there were not enough exits. and but the top of the fence. i just kind of rolled over the. and when i hit the concrete, i lost consciousness. ah,

if i over 11 you're brown. so after the final volley picked up the l. m t for 2 additional rounds. one is wired into the tank area and then translator. sorry, another one picked up the revolver more towards the window. are in the last row with they don't know it. okay. okay. i got another young lady that was shot for her, the car. i brought him back in and at that point, a young lady was hit in the ard where you hit, where are you with people over the hospital, guys with new york, new york, new york, new york,

a new york, new york, new york. we're all completion with the next thing i remember was someone shaking me and things slowly starting to come back into focus ownership. we finally got into hooters. there were bloody footprints everywhere. i get into hooters and there was people in there and they are bleeding and they're screaming and everybody is just complete chaos. my husbands, texting me, he's following instagram. he says, shooter headed towards her. he says, get out at $1045.00. about we heard a noise from directly outside the as it closes to us, that sounded like another volley of shots. at that point, we all panicked the shot sounded very close to close to be

from the same source as this shooting at the venue. so that's when it really occurred to us. maybe there's more than one person involved. i mean, we're just following a big group into the tropicana then running into another world because somebody said they're coming, they're coming. and that's what i ended up in the m g m. it was like about midnight and that's when people he ran the casino screaming like saying they were shooters coming after them too. i sat there crying in tears in the gamblers just sat there and smelled their cigarettes and just looked at us late. what's going on here, these people, you know, gambling as soon as we got outside a tutor and it was vegas as normal. mm. it was like stopping in to a different world. mm hm. i was completely covered in blood and all down the front of me tripping down my legs and no one seemed to notice or care. it was just so here's a customer,

she needs a cab. let's get her into one. we drove to my hotel, a woman who was going up the escalator, looked at me and just turned green and threw up. because i literally looked like a zombie who had just come out of a horror movie, but it was real life, one side of my face and my hair was completely soaked with blood from when the shooting 1st started. and i had laid next to the girl in front of me, and the rest of my body was covered in blood. i just broke down. i was staring all i was screaming i was crying, i lost all control of my emotions. and a floor manager came up to me and he told me that i needed to calm down. i was drunk and that i had spilled. it looked web could. he thought,

looked like spaghetti all over myself. and then i should go up to my room and taken up and change and everything was fine with that. make it out to henderson hospital . so you know, as re, i'm for surgery and my arm is at the same can move can with her week, and that's all that i did was laid around for like 2 and a half months. here. i am in a way chair because i couldn't walk properly. i had him at home as the size of bass boss. 2 on each side. and i had 10 breaks in 7 different bones. 3 bounce in my rights were broken. i had 3, pretty serious fractures in my pelvis with evening. i'm obviously, i'm sure for jo lombardo from clark county and i'm here to talk to you about the

tragic event that is taking place at the mandalay bay. we determined there was a shooter on the 32nd floor. officers responded to that location and engaged through suspect at that location. he is dead. we are looking at an excess of 50 individuals, dad and over $200.00 individuals injured. at this point 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 yet 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 as long as

a football field. it included the streets around the venue. it included what people heard 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 within less than 12 hours for christmas. the traditional yuletide on a day this year i'm making this trip, you know, with a special christmas guide. ah, christmas tolerance diversity guide. we all know that christmas is a family holiday. that makes oral your parents are properly numbered. i follow the agenda and make us know women's dentist. no man or even better at this new person

designed for themselves. ah, no gifts, no don't. so teddy bears prepare your children for the brave new world. and remember, diversity is not a t i o is no longer an appropriate cost. you. this is appropriation, zoological appropriation offensive to the dear community. mm hm. and obviously santa has to be cancelled. i because he is a wisest gender male who amuses mrs. close, discriminate against children based on behavior. whereas red, which is a communist color, makes children sit on his lap, makes people destroy trees and exploit sales. so sorry kids center is not coming to town anymore. i follow these instructions,

stick to the spirit of christmas. you decide? oh oh, he came on the test bed for medical and then later recreate marijuana and it started with something so innocent as wanting to socialize everybody does it for why can't 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 never do it again because they want life 11, and i'm right on inside. ok. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it and not to stop it the way my life is over. jumped office about balcony and died. mm.

use the just what happened? i make no certain, you know, borders to nationalities and you parish as a merge, we don't have with the we don't have a vaccine. the whole world leads to take action that would be ready for people or die. judgment. common crisis with we can do better. we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great to was function has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it

together with me. my name was my terror, former intelligence and the air force. i was a senior intelligence analyst. and over the time that i did the job, i acquired a certain skill set and it becomes rather useful. and the type of situation that i found myself 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 promised 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 this james ship to the hallways and up the service elevator. something he said he's done $27.00 times since the 1 october shooting. this is the same service elevator paddock 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 patrick were lead to the media. what i can tell you is, i'm very troubled by it. we have an internal investigation occurring, as we speak on how those photographs retain public share from bartow promised a comprehensive investigation, would be put out to find out the source of those late damages. ah,

the former has worked in the night to do this. i all the big sunday these mass shooting at the roof, no more harvest vessels, identified all but 3 victims. you still have an active seen at the grounds near mandalay bay. there's a wonderful guy. his name is great, zane is he made all of these white cross is 58 crosses 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 officer has 53000 individual donations as an ex so. so $3700000.00. they get strong, was a, go fund me fundraiser, that was started by steve's to select and jo lombardo, steve says, a leg 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 here. share in vegas 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 up on the building just to kind of show no unity what the truly, 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 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 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 ah, my 1st initial reaction that i feel like it was overdue for las vegas only because after 911, when i was to a 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 $911.00. 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 a saturday and it should have been packed and that went on for weeks. so there are definitely aware data 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 sure, louis area. they're down in new york, new york for sure. 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 or getting her there might have been shooters right now. there's a now walking in with a rifle, 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 a lone wolf 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, i pan up and you can see that stroke. i thought that was the 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 with. and of course, right above is room $134.35. most of the shooting that you hear through your recording. it sounds fairly distant. it sounds like it's coming from up there and 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 years leaving no stone unturned and, 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. it's been 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 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 grade city does that we offer a safe place. this is a crazed lunatic. full of hate, we don't know much about his background. the brother of the suspect isn't down. we are in contact with him 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 all the year normally, who goes out and she's some people does. she was a very smart guy. i was in business within 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 mit building in mesquite, texas, he was retired and live playing frickin' video poker. when he was 40 years old, he was in the grid, w x, whatever they call their fancy club. he wasn't doing it to get any richer and he was doing it because you get to hang out. now tell 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 last we took over the whole top floor because he brought my whole extended family

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 treated like kings, with the mob of people to fly to some of the desert, to spend their hard earned money. john and jane q citizen making $30000.00 a year would come to las vegas and $3000.00 and lose it. they got great rooms. compton, they got free drinks with all those driven by drink shaped bankers. and those with,

ah, who dares thinks we dare to ask in the whole when it was shown seemed wrong. when i was just a shape out, this thing becomes the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

ah ah, as the world celebrates the new year, argie looked at some of the positive predictions for 2022 with financial experts forecasting the global economy is set to grow while inflation will start to fall. and of course, we reviewed the year that has just gone as well with a look at some of the big political spats that unfolded and putting a controversial defense deal with our friends at loggerheads with its allies in 2021 was many things, but it also gave you the online world, plenty of ammunition to have fun making means from bernie sanders and has mittens to a boat stuck in the suez canal. we look at the top events of last year deemed worthy of digital mockery.
