Ian Carroll, I have wanted to meet you.

I'm grateful you're here. Thank you. Thanks, man. So I just want to understand one story. I want to know what we know about the biggest mass shooting in American history in Las Vegas, 2017. I spent a full year looking into it, got nowhere, other than increasingly skeptical of

the story we were told, but I really don't. There's a lot I don't know. So will you lay out what

we do know? Yeah. I mean, first, the most important thing to highlight is that I'd bet that a lot

of people, when you started that sentence, don't know what the most deadly mass shooting in American history is because I think that most Americans

have forgotten about the Las Vegas shooting because it just got poofed right out of the news

after like a week and they just never brought it up again basically. And then there was actually

disinformation poured in to try to stop journalists and investigators

and regular citizens from uncovering basic truths, from getting basic disclosure.

Can you be specific?

What does that mean disinformation poured in of what kind?

Well, I think we'll get there in the story.

But before we start the story, it's important to give myself context in that I wasn't there and I wasn't researching at the time. And so the actual work of what we do know was done by a bunch of citizen journalists, a bunch of really incredible researchers at the time, which I'm going to try to kind of shout out as we go through it because I didn't do any of the original research.

I came in long after the fact and did my research and found all of their work.

Well, you have a talent for synthesizing.

I mean, that's what I try to do is I'm good at getting eyes on stories.

And a lot of the best researchers and journalists are just good at the information itself.

That's exactly right.
