WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:06.879 on the iHeartRadio. 4 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.320 An Kevin mckayhill with the LA Sorry, Las Vegas Metro 5 00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.279 PD Sheriff talking about the cyber truck explosion yesterday. 6 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:15.320 Just a couple of quick things. 7 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.800 The body they found in the truck they believe to 8 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.839 be this Matthew Liveelsberger, but they have not confirmed it yet. 9 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.679 He said there was a gunshot wound to the head, wow, 10 00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.440 but that the body itself was burned beyond recognition, so 11 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.120 they have to do dental work before they can get 12 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.520 this guy. They did find a military ID, credit cards 13 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.679 and a passport that belonged to that guy, so circumstantially 14 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.520 it looks like it is him, but they haven't gotten 15 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.560 official ID yet. So this is Kevin mcmayhill, Las Vegas 16 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.039 metroped shaft to. 17 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.359 Las Vegas from Colorado and Carlos will put up the 18 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.719 map there for you. And we know that he rented 19 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.240 the cyber truck in Denver on December twenty eighth. We 20 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.759 tracked his movements through the Tesla charging stations to Monument, Colorado. 21 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.600 On December thirtieth. On the thirty first of December, the 22 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.959 truck was charged in Trinidad, Colorado, Las Vegas, New Mexico, 23 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:14.280 and Albertquerque and Gallop, New Mexico. On January first, the 24 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:21.319 truck was charged in Holebrook, Flagstaff and Kingman, Arizona. We 25 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.599 last tracked the truck in Kingman at zero five thirty 26 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.280 three yesterday morning. The truck was first spotted in Las 27 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:35.599 Vegas at seven twenty nine am yesterday and Carlos will 28 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.519 pull up a picture of the truck pulling onto Fashion 29 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:44.319 Show Drive here and that picture was observed at about 30 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.319 seven thirty four am. We know that he pulled into 31 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.120 the Trump Valet and I believe we have a video 32 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.480 of that. You can see the cyber truck highlighted there. 33 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.039 They're showing a video of the cyber truck, but based 34 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.080 on surveillance cameras from outside the Trump condominiums. 35 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.240 But he pulls through and doesn't stro extence the surveillance video. 36 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.400 We were able to track him leaving there, and we 37 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.439 know that he went to several different places along Las 38 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.439 Vegas Boulevard and he spent some time in a parking 39 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.319 lot of a business near Flamingo in Las Vegas Boulevard. 40 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.080 We didn't have a video of the truck pulling back 41 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:43.439 onto Las Vegas Boulevard from the Sands. See that there 42 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.960 goes that's north on the boulevard from Sands at eight 43 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.599 thirty nine, where he then immediately heads to the Trump Hotel, 44 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.960 pulls into the valet area, and as of course you 45 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.840 all know, the explosion occurs within seventeen seconds of his 46 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.479 arrival at the valet. There are some additional investigative updates 47 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.000 that are going to be provided to you by a 48 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.520 couple of the other speakers here, the first of which 49 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.840 will be our special Agent in charge of the FBI 50 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.680 local Office, Spencer Evans. 51 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.199 Spencer, good morning. 52 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.319 My name is Spencer Evans. 53 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:19.639 I'm the Special Agent in charge of. 54 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.199 The FBI's Las Vegas Division. So the sheriff mentioned, we've 55 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.599 been working through the night with our partners, the Las 56 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.520 Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and other agencies to gather all 57 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.319 the facts and determine a motive to what was initially 58 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.319 reported to the FBI as a bombing incident, to which 59 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.680 our special agent, bomb techs and others responded. Obviously, we're 60 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.759 always concerned in these sorts of events, to ascertain what 61 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.439 the motive is. We understand that's everybody's at the forefront 62 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.639 of everyone's thoughts, and so looking into exactly what the 63 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.800 motivation is remains our number one priority. This is why 64 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.000 the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force has been brought into play, 65 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.840 the Joint Tearism Task Force. Most important part of that 66 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.639 acronym is joint. It is done in concert with our partners, 67 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.560 which are comprised of more than a dozen investigative agencies 68 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.000 here throughout the state of Nevada. We've been working hand 69 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.080 in glove, side by side, tirelessly to determine is there 70 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.120 any ongoing threat to the public, to identify the subject, 71 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.199 to determine any potential connection to other events going on 72 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.240 in the world, most notably in New Orleans, and then 73 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.800 obviously to determine if there's anything else that we need 74 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.240 to be tracking down at this time. Is the Sheriff's 75 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.839 pointed out, we feel that the subject has been identified, 76 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:35.240 although not conclusively, waiting for DNA evidence on that front. However, 77 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.600 we do feel like we have the subject identified and 78 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.279 at this time there is no information about additional subjects 79 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.279 that the FBI is tracking on. We are resources as 80 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.600 I mentioned that have been deployed in support of this 81 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.079 event include Special Agent bomb techs, our Evidence Response Team, 82 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.240 which is processing crime scenes side by side with the 83 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.399 forensics folks from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Our investigators 84 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.720 are intelligence analysts, and then outside of the FBI Las 85 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.199 Vegas Field Office, we have investigative leads that are being 86 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.680 conducted by FBI field offices both internationally and domestically as 87 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.839 well as Always, when the FBI is involved with any 88 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.639 sort of case like this, we ask for help for 89 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.279 the public. Anyone with information related to this incident, we 90 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.000 encourage you to please call one eight hundred call FBI, 91 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.160 or you can submit a tip online at tips dot 92 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.079 FBI dot gov. We've already received thousands of tips related 93 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.480 to this incident. The challenge that we face moving forward 94 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.079 is to separate those that are pertinent and relevant and 95 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.839 those that can be verified for those from those that 96 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.160 have not. For example, one of the tips that we 97 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.279 receive just today relates to information alluding to this subject's 98 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.600 personal experiences related to his time and activity in the military. Again, 99 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.000 that's unverified and uncorroborated, but one of many tips and 100 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.360 leads that we will be following up in the days 101 00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.000 that come. If you have any additional information, again, encourage 102 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.680 everyone one eight hundred call FBI or submitted online tips 103 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.079 dot FBI dot gov. We will tirelessly work to exhaust 104 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:11.759 all investigative leads and conclusively determine what the nature of 105 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.600 this particular incident was, what the motivation was, and to 106 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.240 the extent possible, share all that information as we obtain it. 107 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:18.680 Well. 108 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.439 Now turn some time over to the Assistant Special Agent 109 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.120 Charge from the ATF, Kenny Cooper. 110 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.600 We're getting an update out of the Vegas law enforcement 111 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:30.959 community about the bombing. 112 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.920 My name's Kenny Cooper. 113 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.439 I'm this cyber truck explosion outside the Trump. 114 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.639 Ats San Francisco Field Division. ATF is bringing our expertise 115 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.240 in post blasts investigations and our crime gun intelligence to 116 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:49.079 specifically assist in this investigation. I will tell you that 117 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.279 our special agent bomb techs are working with FBI and 118 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.959 with Las Vegas Metro and sifting through that post blast 119 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.839 debris to find components and investigative leads will derive from 120 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:06.199 that evidence process. We're too early into that investigation process 121 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.240 to give any determination as far as how this device 122 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.519 was initiated. I will say that we do know that 123 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:19.800 the components primarily consist of fireworks, mortars, aerio shells, and 124 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.959 are all consumer fireworks. Nothing commercial grade has been discovered 125 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.120 at this point, and we've identified some fuel enhancers like 126 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.839 the Coman fuel and VP Racing fuel, and some explosive 127 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.199 targets that can be purchased at any sporting goods store. 128 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.720 We've also, as you as a sheriff mentioned, we've identified 129 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.319 two semi automatic handguns recovered from the Tesla. We have 130 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.759 successfully traced those firearms and I can tell you that 131 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:58.560 Matthew Leyvesburg lawfully purchased both of these firearms on December thirtieth, 132 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.399 twenty twenty four. We have agents following up those investigative leads. 133 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.360 We know exactly where those firearms were purchased, and we 134 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:11.720 will share any developments from those leads as they come in. 135 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:12.639 Thank you. 136 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.519 We also have the Clark County Fire Chief here, John Steinbeck, 137 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.959 and he didn't have any additional updates, but if there's 138 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.439 any questions in regards to what the fire fire fire 139 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.839 Department did during this he's here to answer those questions 140 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.320 as well. With that, things that are going around on 141 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.919 social media. We're going to continue to do that, but 142 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.039 I'm also confident to tell the Las Vegas community and 143 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.200 this great nation that we don't believe there's any further 144 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.080 threat from this subject or anybody associated to him here 145 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.159 in Las Vegas. With that, Denise, I saw you had 146 00:08:49.159 --> 00:09:00.679 your hand up if you could just identify yourself please. 147 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.360 Question is whether or not this suspect say the question 148 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:02.879 was that he. 149 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.639 Had to subject have any ties to Las Vegas or 150 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.440 had he ever been here before. I do believe we 151 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.519 had had one instance a number of years ago where 152 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.279 he stayed at a local hotel, but we're still trying 153 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.960 to verify that information as well. 154 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.480 Sir the David Charles Klis TV, there was. 155 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.279 You have a gentleman in a cyber Trump Trump hotel. 156 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:32.320 There's information that the NBI was in Colorado Springs last night, 157 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.720 possibly at this gentleman's home. Any information about. 158 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:42.200 Why, I think I'll let Spencer answer that question. 159 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.200 So, as I mentioned, the motivation at this point is unknown. 160 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:53.440 We are, as I mentioned earlier, following investigative leads both 161 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.519 domestically and internationally as well, and so that includes search 162 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:03.679 warrants and witness interviews, collecting forensic information and basically trying to. 163 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:04.399 Compile the facts. 164 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.919 And so there's investigative activity taking place literally around the 165 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.840 globe trying to determine what the potential nexus is. But 166 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.960 at this time, at this particular moment in time, as 167 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.759 the sheriff aptly said, we have to focus on what 168 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.159 we know and what we don't know. We know we 169 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.000 have a bombing, absolutely, and it's a bombing that certainly 170 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.080 has factors that raise concerned. It's not lost on us 171 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.960 that it's in front of, you know, of the Trump Building, 172 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.919 that it's a TESTLA vehicle, But we don't have information 173 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.000 at this point that definitively tells us or suggests it 174 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.639 was because of this particular ideology or that you know, 175 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.919 any of the reasoning behind it. That's the purpose of 176 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.440 the investigation that we're conducting is to get to the 177 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:48.919 bottom of exactly what happened, why and how, Sir. 178 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.639 Typically to a PBCY of Los Angeles, you mentioned a 179 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:55.480 number of similarities between this case and New Orleans. How 180 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.679 far are the investigating cross if you guys go to 181 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.639 try to rule out that they are connect knowing that 182 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:01.519 you already. 183 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.759 Have a couple of things that seem to connect them together. 184 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.799 So the question is is how are we working to 185 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.720 rule in or rule out any connections to the New 186 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.399 Orleans event. And the answer to that is, every tip 187 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.559 and lead that comes in, every piece of evidence that 188 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.399 comes in, we don't discount it. We work it through. 189 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.519 You know, it's an interesting thing during these kinds of 190 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.879 investigations that if these turn out to be simplely similarities, 191 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.799 very strange similarities to have, and so we're not prepared 192 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.279 to rule in or rule out anything at this point. 193 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.000 There's lots more for us to do in this investigation. 194 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.759 We haven't even gotten into the phones or the computers, 195 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.600 which are usually very very instructive and informative to us 196 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.600 as we investigate. And we've got a lot more work 197 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.159 to do to trace him, to see the stores that 198 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.240 he went to, to rule out anybody else, lots of 199 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.200 lots of investigative work to do, and we're just trying 200 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:56.039 to give you an update on what we know now 201 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.799 that is factual. 202 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:03.879 We believe. 203 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.759 The question is was the gunshot self inflicted and we 204 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.240 do believe it was, since he was the only person 205 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:12.360 in the vehicle and it occurred immediately prior to the 206 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:19.840 vehicle blown up. Back there, sir, with the evidence you've seen. 207 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.639 So far, are you comfortable without calling this a suicide vision? 208 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.399 The question is, off, I comfortable calling it a suicide mission. 209 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.720 I'm comfortable calling it a suicide with the bombing that 210 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.840 occurred immediately thereafter, I'm. 211 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.279 Not giving it any other labels. 212 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.799 And with the family who's spoken so far that they 213 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.960 shared getting prior red flags. 214 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.679 The question is, did we have any of the family 215 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.039 members share any particular red flags? Again, I'll go back 216 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.240 to what I know is circulating on social media, but 217 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.919 none of that has been verified at this point. 218 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.039 All the found inside a cyber truck where they all 219 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:03.720 purchase in Colorado. 220 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.639 The question is did we were all the components found 221 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.960 inside of the cyber truck purchased in Colorado? 222 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.399 And I don't know the answer to that. 223 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.240 That's part of why we're doing the extensive part of 224 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:14.000 the investigation. 225 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.240 Associated press, Can you talk a little bit about the 226 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.799 security measures you have in place at the hotel now? 227 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.720 So, as you all know, we had just successfully completed 228 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.440 a New Year's Eve event where hundreds of thousands of 229 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.679 people come to Las Vegas. I've extended our posture just 230 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.440 like it is for a New Year's Eve event where 231 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.759 I have thousands of police officers that are working day 232 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.159 in and day out. Obviously dozens and dozens of people 233 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:42.639 that are working on this investigation as well. We'll continue 234 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.759 to look at what that security posture looks like, but 235 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.320 I'm confident in the safety of our community as we 236 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.399 move forward, go ahead. In the middle. 237 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:54.639 There criminal record. 238 00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:01.639 Also, you know, the question was is there any criminal record? 239 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.440 None that I'm aware of that has not been brought 240 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.320 to my attention that he had a criminal record, And 241 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.240 I said that the cyber truck was rented on December 242 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:13.840 twenty eighth in Denver, Colorado? 243 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:14.720 Are here? 244 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.240 Hi? 245 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:28.039 That the question is that we know if he checked 246 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.480 into the Resorts World the day before this, I'm not 247 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.399 aware of that information certain. 248 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.879 There and how long you The question is. 249 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.320 Generally about the security posture, and that's that's entirely our 250 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.799 entire community, not only uh Fremont Street and the Strip, 251 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.279 but surrounding neighborhoods as well, just to make sure that 252 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.480 we have the community fill in that level of safety 253 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.399 that they need to fill after an event such as this. 254 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.279 All right, you've been listening to share Kevin mcmayhill from 255 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.759 Metro Las Vegas Police Department about the cyber truck explosion 256 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:09.519 yesterday outside the Trump Condominiums. The most significant in terms 257 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:15.960 of the information is that they have found Matthew Livelsberger's 258 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.440 military ID, credit cards, and passport inside the cyber truck, 259 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.399 but at this point are not confirming that, in fact, 260 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.799 that was him. They said they're going to await DNA 261 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.720 because of the condition of the body. You can understand 262 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:34.039 that he died apparently now died before the explosion, but 263 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.000 was burned beyond recognition because they said that he had 264 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.279 a gunshot wound to his head. 265 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.000 They've got a lot of footage of this truck, but 266 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:44.200 I didn't see any footage of anything indicating a gunshot 267 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.639 wound to the head coming from inside the vehicle. And 268 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:51.000 he said that there's no reason to believe that somebody 269 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.879 else shot him because it happened right before the explosion 270 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.559 and there was nobody else in the vehicle. I don't 271 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.399 know how you could rule that out unless there was 272 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.639 footage of that moment, and there might be. There might be, 273 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.759 and they may not show it. 274 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.279 I could from the image that most everybody sees the 275 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:14.200 moment it explodes, it's from up at an angle behind 276 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:18.519 the truck. So if there was a flash inside the truck, 277 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.480 the actual gunshot that this guy took his own life 278 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.519 right before the truck detonated, it would be hard to 279 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:28.320 see at least from that angle. But that is they 280 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.720 said they found a couple of guns, at least two 281 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:36.879 semi automatic guns with ammunition, along with all kinds of fireworks. 282 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.480 They have all, I mean the image that they have 283 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:45.799 posted Vegas PD has posted of the investigation of the 284 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.799 truck itself. It's in some warehouse somewhere and they've been 285 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.879 able to basically cut the top off of this thing 286 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.440 and go through, just centimeter by centimeter all of the 287 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.039 stuff that was found in the bed of the truck, 288 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.320 the fireworks, the different camp fuels. There was one can 289 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.399 of racing fuel that was even involved. 290 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:05.839 This was a guy who served in the Green Berets, 291 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.599 of course, highly trained special forces worked a counter terrorism 292 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.000 abroad train partners. He had served in the Army since 293 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.279 two thousand and six, rising through the ranks long career 294 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:23.440 of overseas assignments, deploying twice to Afghanistans, serving in Ukraine, Georgia, Congo. 295 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.960 He was awarded two Bronze Store Stars, including one with 296 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:32.160 a Valor device for Courage under Fire Combat Infantry Badge 297 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.759 Army Commendation Medal with Valor. He was on approved leave 298 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:36.640 when this happened. 299 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.440 Yeah, he grew up at Ohio. He was on leave 300 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:43.400 from his duty in Germany. His wife had said she 301 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:49.200 hadn't heard from him for several days. He and his 302 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.880 wife apparently bought a home in Colorado Springs together several 303 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.920 years ago twenty fifteen, but that they said that they 304 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.079 have several addresses that are linked to him throughout the 305 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.680 city of Colorado, including townhouses that were rated overnight. 306 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.839 There have been some online sleuths that have dug up 307 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:13.319 her Facebook account her clear hatred for Donald Trump. That 308 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:15.759 has not that that has been verified. Yeah, that one 309 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.920 has anything to do with this. 310 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.319 But one of the questions to the FBI was, here's 311 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.400 an Elon Musk product in the cyber truck in front 312 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.319 of a Trump product in the condominiums. Yeah, was there 313 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.000 a connection? And they basically say it's way too early. 314 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:31.559 They don't have any evidence one way or the other. 315 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.519 But it seems like quite the coincidence, doesn't it. 316 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:33.960 Yeah. 317 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.519 Well, and the other coincidences that people are talking about 318 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.359 is the coincidences that occur. It's the same day of 319 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.440 this attack in New Orleans a few hours later. The 320 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.400 guy had the every opportunity to hear about it, you know, 321 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:54.319 to hear about the other attack. That he rented an 322 00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:58.160 electric truck through the same app, you know, through this 323 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.839 Touro app couple of days before the attack itself, and 324 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.119 then made his way from Colorado through to to Las 325 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.880 Vegas for the attack on early yesterday morning. 326 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.880 So anyway, that's the latest. 327 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.279 Again, they have not confirmed the identity, but they said 328 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:15.519 they've got all these pieces of evidence that point to 329 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:20.000 this Matthew Libbelsberger as the perpetrator in this attack. So 330 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.559 if there's anything new, obviously we will we'll bring it 331 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.240 to you. In the meantime, let's do a very now. 332 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.039 It's a super truncated swamp watch. 333 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:33.039 Swamp is horrible. It's a government work man. We're gonna 334 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.880 make this like a reality TV show, A bad bos. 335 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.599 Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. 336 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.839 Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a 337 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.440 swamp and in so many ways still a swamp. 338 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:48.839 I have a watch of Malwarkee, he said, the swamp. 339 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:49.680 I said, oh, that's so. 340 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:55.640 Keep You know the thing, Well, the biggest deal in Washington, 341 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.599 d C. Tomorrow they're going to swear in a new Congress. Yay, 342 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.880 everybody loves that. But that gives them the opportunity to 343 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.839 vote in a new Speaker of the House. 344 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.119 Yay, everybody loves that as well. 345 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.119 In this case, the current Speaker, Mike Johnson, is not 346 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.400 going to have an easy time. And I don't know 347 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.200 if this is just the future of Speakers of the 348 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.519 House going forward after we saw what happened with Kevin McCarthy. 349 00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:23.799 But Johnson has been endorsed by the President elect to 350 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.480 keep that post. He's still racing to win over a 351 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.400 bunch of holdouts from the Republican Party, and they said 352 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.720 that this could be another day's long floor fight to 353 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.200 figure out who is or remains the Speaker of the House. 354 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.960 Donald Trump has restated his backing of Mike Johnson. How 355 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:43.839 much will that play a role in this trending towards 356 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:45.000 Mike Johnson. 357 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.640 It definitely gives him a hand up, But guys like 358 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:54.559 Thomas The only known Republican defector in this vote is 359 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.599 Thomas Massey. He has stated publicly he will not vote 360 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.960 for Mike Johnson for speaker because of the numbers going 361 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.720 into the new Congress. If everyone shows up, and it's 362 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.759 the first day of school, so I assume everybody would. 363 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.160 If everyone shows up, he can only lose two votes 364 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:18.279 and retain his speakership.
