Transcripts For FBC The Intelligence Report With Trish Regan

FBC The Intelligence Report With Trish Regan October 3, 2017

A picture after lone wolf caused biggest, how did he get firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition without raising any red flags if well have a former fbi assistant director. Were hearing stories of heroism, total strangers using their own bodies to shield, to protect others from a hail of bullets. Strangers using cars as make shift am plans to transport wounded people. A congressman has a lot more. Hillary vaughn in las vegas with details coming forth who this man was. There are a lot of questions, hillary. Reporter a lot of unanswered questions, remain, trish. Federal Law Enforcement officials tell fox news that investigators discovered the shooter, stephen pad dach, spent tens of thousands of dollars overseas to who yet. We know paddocks girlfriend, Marilou Danley is overseas in tokyo. Place say she is still under investigation. Law enforcement is hoping to get information they took from paddocks home in mesquite, nevada. His own family had no idea of he had weapons and bombmaking materials in his home and neither did police until they found it. They took from the home, 19 additional firearms. Explosives. Several thousands of rounds of ammo. They took computer hard drives they turned over to the fbi. They found Ammonium Nitrate found in his car used to make explosives. This video is from a guest that stayed in the exact same hotel room last year. We also know that the type of weapons that paddock used in the attack. Here is what authorities uncovered from that hotel room. 23 firearms. Some of those fully automatic weapons. A hand gun, rifle equipped with scopes and a hammerlike tool he used to break the windows and the investigation is not over. The gunfire has ended but the terror lives from that night. Hundreds remain in the hospital recovering from wound they received in the attack. Were expecting update from authorities on status of those individuals, and also why this happened. Trish . Trish wow a lot of questions right now. Hillary, thank you very much. Right now i want to point out we got some brand new pictures of those weapons that the gunman used. Take a look there. Those were his weapons. He had 42 guns found there in the hotel room at mandalay bay. Joining me democratic representative from nevada whose district includes northern las vegas, congressman reuben keelan. Congressman, you have a lot of questions as do we. Can you help us any way to try to connect the dots . Were hearing tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars sent to the philippines. What connection does that have to this man . Wells first of all let me take a second to say thank you to all the people in las vegas who stepped up to donate blood. Our Community Come together, thank you to everyone. This is very unfortunate incident. Ive been working with the sheriff. Ive been part of the briefings with the fbi and the dea, local Law Enforcement. We still have a lot of questions. There are still a lot of confusion. There is still not a specific motive. I know here in the next few hours, in the next days and weeks to come well get a lot more responses as to what exactly was the motive for this, this very violent act of domestic terrorism. Trish yeah. I think all of us, i mean its human nature, right, congressman, you want to button this up to try to understand it in some way, shape or form and initially isis had claimed this attack but fbi said they found no connection to isis. So there are just lots and lots of questions remain this. Is someone who didnt have any kind of a criminal background history and someone who at least by most accounts led a pretty normal life up until this incident. Let me turn to las vegas right now and just talk to you a little bit about what you briefly mentioned there. You said all kinds of examples of heroism. People lining up, for example, to donate blood, something that is very muchneeded right now for those victims. Yeah. You know, if anything, that should come out of this tragic story is all of the heroes that emerged. All the way from the people who were saving other, you know, other peoples lives, strangers, helping strangers, police officers, you know, running up to find the gunman to the paramedics transporting these victims to the hospital, all the way to the doctors and nurses as we speak right now are doing Everything Possible to save lives. I was there at the hospital myself yesterday around 3 00 a. M. , visiting with some victims and families. Let me tell you, i have never seen anything like this. Hopefully will never see anything like this rest of my life. Were doing Everything Possible to save lives of people. The Las Vegas Community stepped up. We saw lines six hours long here yesterday. Again, i want to say thank you to our local community here really stepped up. The gofundme account that we established has already raised over 3 million. That goes to show you that humanity, it is humanity at its best. Trish yeah. Congressman, we all have very heavy heart this is week. I think yesterday was a really hard day. Were not there in vegas but we feel your pain, sir. Were all praying for you. Thank you. Trish thank you for coming on the show. Thank you so much. Trish joining me right now, former fbi assistant director ron hosco. Ron, you heard hillarys report at the top of the hour. We now learned he sent thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars, ron, to the philippines. If we have a picture of his wife we can show the viewer, we dont know if it is his wife, i should correct myself, companion, mary lou danley, she may have been from the philippines originally. Tell me what you know about any connection he may have had to the philippines . I think, trish, that this is, you know these tidbits what we know more from Law Enforcement about, particularly the particulars of his relationship with this woman. The notion of him traveling, or sending tens of thousands of dollars overseas, there is a purpose behind that, we need to find out who was the recipient. Is she the intended resipient . Did know this plan was coming . Did she know this plan was coming, put into effect this. Was his way of starting to funnel money to her . Could the Money Transfer have been intended for him . That this was his escape plan . So we need to get down into those details and i thought all along, it is really in this case where you have somebody who looks like they have this very discrete, lowkey existence, there are going to be telltale signs but i think it is incumbent on the fbi and local Law Enforcement there to do a deep dive into his finances, look at real gambling history. If were talking about highstakes gambling, that includes highstakes losing too. The notion of him being a millionaire does not pass muster, until forensic accountants dive into his numbers and have a complete picture whether this was somebody truly rich or somebody headed to the poor house. Trish i know the fbi has said there is no connection to isis but those questions linger because isis tried to claim this attack. That may be them desperate to claim to any attack that happens but people are struggling to make sense of this in some way, shape or form, so trying to understand a motive is critical to all of this. In terms of the investigation, you mentioned they will follow the money. That is a big part of this. You can piece together somebodys life by trail of receipts, shall we say, ron, that leaves behind . Thats right. What was he spending his money on, where was he spending his time . Sound like were getting closer to the truth he was spending a lot of his time gambling. We heard emmy nations from the brother and other people that came into contact with him. Those very lavish casinos in las vegas are built with gamblers money. Was he a regular donor, or regularly taking money away . There are lots of folks in this country going down a financial wormhole and, some may see that a Violent Crime or suicide is a way out. Trish wow. That is one explanation nation, perhaps. Something that the gaming industry is not going to welcome. Let me ask you about this companion. Originally looking at her as person of interest. We heard that she wasnt very much in focus. She is overseas right now. Whats your thought on that, given your background at the fbi would they ever say she is not a person interest if she is and they would not want her to know that . That is a good possibility, youre exactly right. Theyre trying to lower the temperature. She is certainly a person of interest because of her relationship with him, him checking in using an i. D. For her. They will certainly put her on the radar. She is the on the radar. It would be prudent for them to kind of lower the temperature. Fbi has legal attaches across asia and across the world. To the extent the japanese would facilitate it, i think the fbis legal attache may have already interviewed her. They may go back with followup questions or perhaps theyre being a friendly host, arriving back home so she can interviewed in las vegas but she needs to be debriefed in a very thorough manner. Trish thank you, ron as always. My pleasure. Trish President Trump and melania touring devastation and meeting with officials as the island tries to restore power and water to millions of residents. Our own mike tobin is there. He will have all the details. Were back with that and much more next. In texas and florida, we get aplus. I think we have done just as good in puerto rico and actually a much tougher situation. But now the roads are cleared. Communications is starting to come back. We need their truck drivers. Their drivers have to start driving trucks. We have to do that. So on local level they have to give us more help. Trish ahead of his trip there, President Trump says his administration has done a good job in puerto rico helping the island recover from hurricane maria. This afternoon the president is meeting with individuals impacted by the storm before meeting with the governor of the u. S. Virgin island in the next hour. You did hear the president say, he needs more in the way of local help as well. Our mike tobin is there locally in puerto rico with the very latest for us live. Hi, mike. Reporter hi, there, trish. More than anything what the president can do for people of puerto rico is answer a question for them. Let me rephrase that. What the people of puerto rico will want from him an answer to that question, when life will get back to normal. Speaking to the at the joint Operations Center that that is d question to answer. There is a lot of moving parts, you have to define what is normal. What he can do on the ground to communicate the message of puerto rico that they are not forgotten that the president and people of main lapd have not forgotten them. It is logistics of getting things on boat and to puerto rico and getting things where it is needed most. You saw president going to Hurricane Harvey and was criticized not meeting with people impacted by the storm. Here in puerto rico he didnt make that mistake again. Hadnt seen anything like it . No. Never. Maria was the worst. Did you feel safe during the hurricane . Since this is concrete, we were safe, yeah. Not a lot of movements . , Vibration Movement . No. No. Only windows. Just the windows. Yeah. We have a good house, thank god. Here you are exactly. Exactly. Were going to help you out. Reporter going to help you out. What people want mostly in terms of hope turned back on. Two weeks out of the storm, still 6. 9 of the power grid is reconnected. 10 hospitals are back on the grid. Most are operates on emergency generators. And those generators are meant to be temporary. They fun out of fuel eventually. Mechanics on those generators will fail if they are not maintained. If they dont get hospitals reconnected to the grid. You heard the president talk about a need for truckers. There is good news on that front. Crowley shipping says 100 of the fema containers have now been moved past that bottleneck at the port of san juan. 855 container trucks rolled out of the port yesterday. We watched today as steady stream of container trucks were moving out of the port. That is good news for people that live next to big roads, two lanes or larger. Debris is cleared for big roads. Still a problem for people higher in the mountains with thinner roads. A lot of those roads are washed out. A lot of those roads are not cleared from debris. Further away from the big cities, further away from the coast, harder it is for people out there. The town of ponce, two hours outside of san juan, people are washing clothes in the river. They have been going to underground streams as a source of clean water. Trish . Trish mike tobin, very much. Democrats pounces on the tragedy in las vegas to promote their gun control agenda. Lots of misinformation out there on media and social media on gun and gun laws. Second amendment advocate, jan morgue fan is here. Morgan. She will cut through all the noise for you. Right afterrs this. Fidelity, where smarter investors will always be. Can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can can iick it . Yes you can well im gone trish democrats wasting no time politicizing the tragedy in las vegas. Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren out there tweeting just hours after the news broke, i quote, tragedies like las vegas have happened too many times. We need to have the conversation about how to stop gun violence. We need it now. 2016 democratic president ial nominee Hillary Clinton shortly there after, the crowd fled at sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer which the nra wants to make easier to get. Let me just ask you something . Is it really appropriate to be launching ones self into a middle of a big gun debate, at a time when so many are still struggling . Hundreds are in the hospital right now. Were awaiting Democratic Congressional leaders who are at this moment looking to introduce some more legislation if they can i guess. Dan morgan joins me right now. Lets go to her. Actually, are we going to adam . Well go to adam shapiro first. Jan, hang tight, were coming back i promise. Adam shapiro live at the capitol. He has more on the legislation theyre looking to introduce. Take it away. Reporter what theyre looking to do, trish, at some point, gun safety as democrats call it, legislation, one of our producers noticed they used to use the phrase gun control. Theyre now using the phrase gun safety. Republicans calling for whatever you want to call it, different regulations from firearms. The republican from florida, carlos corbello, had this to say. Once families have time to grieve, we get all the facts, we need a discussion in this congress about sensible gun control, and we have to support, respect the Second Amendment and the bill of rights. Reporter but then you get people like representative peter king, a republican who had this to say. It poe lit sizeses a tragedy. If people are really interested in getting some sort of reasonable gun regulation in place, all theyre doing is hurting the case. Reporter Speaker Paul Ryan talking about the tragedy in las vegas, talked about the need for better care of Mental Health issues because clearly the person who is involved in this kind of tragedy has some kind of a Mental Health issues. So that is where we stand on capitol hill, dont expect any legislation anytime soon. What is coming down the pike, trish, legislation which moved out of committee which would have made it, referred to silencers, would have made it easier to purchase a silencer for our weapons and transport weapons, transport weapons across state lines. And there was opposition to that from people on both sides of the political spectrum. I will throw it back to you. Trish thank you very much, adam. Joining me Second Amendment advocate, citizens for Trump National spokesperson, jan morgan. Jan, let me tell the viewers, thank you to you for all the help you gave me yesterday on the phone as i tried to understand this weaponry because what he had is not legal in the first place, right . Well, machine guns have been prohibited, any machine guns manufactured before 1986 are illegal but you can legally obtain one. The process however, trish, is extremely timeconsuming, very expensive and subjects you as a citizen to consistent monitoring by the federal government. There are over half a Million People in america who own fully automatic weapons and, you know, most all of those people are lawabiding citizens. Trish this one was kind of tricked out, right . He took a semiautomatic and made it fully automatic. Right. That is the point. Further restrictions in this area will not change anything here because anyone with basic firearms knowledge can modify a semitraumatic weapon and turn it into a fully automatic weapon. Those restrictions only affect lawabiding citizens. I know what the left will say. Trish you shouldnt have the semiautomatics in the first place. Which is ridiculous. The left is pushing this debate on gun control, because, trish, emotions are high right now. And their arguments are all emotionbased. But any good leader knows when you are making policy that affects the lives of millions of people, you dont make it when epositions are high. You make your decisions based on facts, not emotions. The facts are on our side in this debate. President trump also, he can sit down with nancy pelosi and schumer, negotiate on number of issues but the Second Amendment is not one of them. 90 gun owners in this country helped him get elected. You did help him get him elected. Yes we do. Trish if he looks like he might waffle on this issue any way, shape or form . He better not. Trish what does that mean for you and other folks in the base . He better not waffle. I think President Trump knows better, he understands this one simple fact, restrictiveness, trish, on gun laws is a moot point. It only effects, it only affects lawabiding citizens. Criminals, crazy people, terrorists do not act based on the laws. Paris, france, is perfect example. You cant get anymore restrictive. Trish seen it over and over again in europe. They have lots of laws, not doing them any good. Absolutely. Trish tell me what your reaction was . Mine, happy to tell you,
