WEBVTT - Thieving Las Vegas: Operation G-Sting 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.880 Ridiculous. Crime is a production of My Heart Radio? Is 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:08.479 Aaron done? Oh? Nothing? How you doing girl? I'm good? 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.160 Um listen, you know it's ridiculous. I have been waiting 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:14.160 to see you because I have got a fresh ee 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.599 for you. All right? You ready? Yes? You know? Baseball 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.160 players are hell of superstitious. Yes? Did you know that 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.439 some of them pete on their own hands? And it's 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:26.119 not a superstition. They do it for Skincare you no that? 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.840 I swear to God. Chicago Cubs outfielder Moises so Lou 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.720 has gone on the record saying that he urinates on 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.839 his hands during the season, throughout the season. He's not alone. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.920 There are other ones like Je Posada, he said, and 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.040 I quote, you don't want to shake my hands during 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.080 spring training, and he on their hands because they believe 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.800 it toughens them up. Now, I looked into it and 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.200 there is your eha in urine, and it is something 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.760 that you'll find in like moisturizers, lotions creams. But it 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.320 is used to soften the skin, not to harden it. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.400 So they're in there, in there, I don't know, the 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.280 locker room, urinating on their hands in the shower, thinking 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.240 they're doing something, they're doing the exact opposite. And I 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.920 looked up the fact that if you wanted to actually 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.800 have this work, you would have to like pee in 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.320 a bucket and then soak your hands for like five minutes. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.840 So you can't just like pee on your hands and 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.320 that'd be enough to get to you into one big bucket. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:24.480 They could like soak their feet in it. Yeah, that's ridiculous, 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.600 urinating on yourself. And I'm making this is like that. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:33.280 That is male skincare if I've ever heard of it. Wow, Yeah, ridiculous. 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.080 Hey do you want to know what else is ridiculous? 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.880 I'm here for it. Strip clubs, elected officials, lots of cash, 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.520 and last Vegas. How did I know that last part 0:01:45.600 --> 0:02:08.480 was coming? This is Ridiculous Crime, a podcast about absurd 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:14.240 and outrageous capers, heists, and cons. It's always murder free 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:21.360 and one hundred percent ridiculous. Let's talk about Vegas, Baby, Vegas. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.000 You know, like it's one of those places that people 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.839 have strong opinions about it. Do you like it? Yeah? 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.679 I do in a in a certain way, a certain way, 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.120 like driving away? Why not? No? I don't like going 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.639 is like I'm a Vegas tourist. Whim. I'm not a gambler. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.280 I want to go to a conference there. You don't 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.680 want to go with a bunch of people for like 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.519 a hen party or whatever they call no bachelorette. Yeah, 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:50.720 you suddenly English. I like that. This is more fun. Um. No, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.079 I got family there, so I like seeing my family 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.760 in their cool parts to Las Vegas and old downtown. Yeah. Yeah, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.760 that's pretty cool too. Yeah. I had family there for 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.200 a while, so that's all I know. I so we 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:06.000 know it. We're insiders. Yeah. So Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:12.399 United States Planets. I've been there. Yeah, you have um 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.320 in the nineties, do you remember the nineteen nineties? Yeah, 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.960 it was just after the eighties. Totally were you right before? 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.600 Were you born then? Was I around or was I 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.680 born in the nineties, which is the question were you 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.240 Were you alive in the nineties. I was totally alive 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.480 in the nineties. I can't prove it, but I was. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:33.040 In the nineties, Vegas tried to have this like whole 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.680 family friendly thing going on. Okay, that's when they opened 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:43.160 the ex Caliber Hotel all ladies. Yeah, um, and they 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.960 did Paris and all those like the Island, the big 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.240 pirate ship out in front. Um. They had video game 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.280 arcades put in, and a lot of the casinos have 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.000 like kid friendly shows. The MGM Grand put in a 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.680 theme park kind of it's not there anymore, but they 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.520 used to have like an amusement park behind the hotel 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.640 um and then went and wild the water slide park 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.200 on the strip. So lots of family stuff going on 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:15.320 in the nineties. Here's the problem. Gamblers didn't really want 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:21.880 a lot of kids scurrying around under feet kids like 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.599 little ash trays. The kids can't be hanging out on 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.920 the casino floor and so it's like, well, they can 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:32.560 can't be breeze through. You can be in transit walking through. Yeah, 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:38.640 But then that's so, you know, there was way more 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.760 money to be made in like the escapist, high end 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.400 fantasy getaway for adults than in the family stuff. So 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.080 eventually all that went away, and then the whole what 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.320 happens in Vegas Days in Vegas thing, Oh that was subsequent. Okay, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.360 They're like, we know we're a money yeah, let's let's 0:04:55.520 --> 0:05:03.159 they overcorrected. They were like yeah, so um, but in 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.720 the middle of the family friendly fun era, UM the 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.239 Las Vegas Sun newspaper called the nineties quote a golden 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.840 age for political corruption in Las Vea. So we got 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.800 all this family stuff and it is just scandal after scandal. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.360 Once again, getting back to basics exactly, I'm going to 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.240 tell you about a truly Vegas scandal that involves all 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.640 the good Vegas elements. It's got strip clubs, check, cars, check, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:35.120 cash check, check, liquor che check, real estate development, emergency, 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.960 roadside assistance. I think I got Bengo the Patriot Act 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.400 Ski school. I definitely okay that you did this. So 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.640 and it also has a fantastically ridiculous name. But I'll 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.360 get to that. The crime is crime, like the whole thing, 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.040 the whole story. Let me let me set the stage first. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:01.280 So Michael Gallardi, he's the owner of Cheetah's Strip Club 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.720 in Las Vegas. Familiar, Yeah, it's famous. It's where show girls. Yeah. 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.560 His dad was a man named Jack Gillardi, and he 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.719 owned about fifty strip clubs all around the country. And 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.840 he has a nickname like Big Jack Gillardie Jackie. Um. 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.719 So Michael's grows up with this dad who owns all 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.680 these strip clubs. He's a sign of strip clubs. Yes, 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.400 he's ambitious. He wants to be like Pops. So he 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.200 sees the success of Cheetah's and he wants to expand. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.240 So he gets all these architects and designers and they 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:41.000 draw up his vision for a mega strip club like 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.600 the Final Boss of Strip Cheetahs, but like with a 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:49.640 buffet line and a sushi bar. Got you. This one's 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.359 going to be located a mile off the strip, on 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.279 the other side of fifteen. If you're familiar with Las Vegas, 0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:01.120 Clark County, Nevada, USA, or Earth, So there's pretty much 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.400 nothing around it in he's trying to scope this out 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:10.280 and it's not really that different. Despite the incredible development 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.320 in Vegas over the decades, this place was enormous twenty 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:19.720 seven thousand square feet. Damn, that's a warehouse. Yeah, it's 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:26.120 like a home depot of taking your clothes off and 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.040 like those forkliss blocking aisles. Sometimes, um, it looks like 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.600 or it's more like a Costco edge stripping the end 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.480 of a nile, so it looks like a little pasties. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.360 It looks like it looks like a mini Bellaggio. They 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:51.840 get it all drawn up proto Tuscan meets grecians, stucco columns, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.520 desert fever dreams, quasi Mediterranean and luxurious. Yeah, which is 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.080 like that is that has become Vegas architecturally, Like we 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.960 get an urn in here, yeah, and some columns. I'm 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:08.040 gonna need some palm tree okay, big arches, cold detailing. Course, 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.200 you gotta mix in some Moorish too, Hediterranean. And you 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:19.280 know what, they wanted to call it Jaguars because jaguars 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.120 che is fun to say because it's like kind of 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.680 like cheater che. Jaguars is like a bad football team. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.840 He's like, you know what, sexy? Well, and then the 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:32.080 next one is cougar. The senior said, no, have you 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.760 ever heard of jaguars? Okay? Um? It was the first 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.200 mega gentleman's club in Las Vegas. Okay, And I stopped 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.520 getting Mega Gentleman's club quarterly, so I don't keep up 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.760 on the industry anymore, right, right. They had booze b 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:57.320 o z alcohol, full nudity. Oh wow, so no food? 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.760 They did have food. I don't know, he needn't ship 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.920 why not? How it goes? You know what, Let go 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.640 there and let's go into the earthiness of it. Um 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.560 and then Also, what they said were full contact lap dances. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.600 It's like tackle lap I was not flag contact. Flap 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.000 you around a little bit. But that's the problem right here, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:23.760 full contact. An ordinance had just been proposed that would 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.679 prohibit all touching between dancers and patrons. I'm sorry, I'm 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.120 still in full contact lap dance over here. I've imagined 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.160 going to the doctor. Violent. What happened, Mr Burnett, Well, 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.720 I got a boob in the eye. Docket hit me dance. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:41.600 I know someone who had his nose broken by some 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:51.679 memories industrial string industrial. It was full contact. Yeah, no, anyway, 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.559 so that's amazing that with that aside um, the ordinance 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.200 was saying that you couldn't know touching between dance there's 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.760 and patrons will there goes the full contact except for quote, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:09.680 hand to hand, tipping, hand to hand. Yeah, no sitting 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:16.040 on anybody, no squatting around, no rubbins, just delicate pirouettes 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.679 and then like a chased handover of a crumpled dollar 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.160 bill from the sweaty paw of a patron to the 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.240 beglittered hand of a dancer. That's what that was. Don't 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.240 mind the cocaine, Yeah, don't exactly step over the pile 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.720 of cocaine on before. How did this ordinance come to 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.240 be introduced? You're wondering, Not really, but I was the 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.880 city council. They had a mandate from Okay there it 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.000 is one of the one of the Clark County commissioners, 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:47.160 and they're like county supervisors, but with an incredible amount 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.360 of power. So Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.640 the county commission just like runs everything. Okay, so it's 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.720 very like the South where the county's running more than 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:59.160 the city. Right. So one of the Clark County commissioners 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.640 heard from the cops that quote, blatant sexual acts were 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.880 taking place in some of the clubs under the guys 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.760 of flap dancing. Now blatant is that like a criticism 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.280 or hello, where have you been? Like did you just 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.040 get born there? Like come on for you? Like no, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:20.040 everyone knows this is what happens, right, come on, that's 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.679 the deal. It's like massage part of this because they 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:29.160 have back problems. So this Clark County commissioner disgusted, enraged 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.680 truly or it was an election year for real, and 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:38.480 then she proposes a no touchy ordinance. That's what hands off. Um. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:44.120 So this proposed ordinance plus zoning use permits, plus liquor 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:49.440 licenses plus other bureaucratic issues were big trouble for Michael Galardi. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.640 So she hit him with the book basically like here, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.000 here's a list of things you gotta checked in. People 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.280 contact and lawyers are gonna help you with it. Good luck. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.760 His dream was in dangers erin Oh, just drowned in paperwork. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.720 Enter Lance Malone, the red tape cutter. I mean the 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.800 name right, Gallardi. He reaches out to Lance Malone at 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:12.040 the end of Lance Malone, I just like saying his 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:17.920 name Lance Malone, or like a magician. But this is 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:23.120 that Lance Burton is a big magician. Lance Malone. He 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.080 was another Clark County commissioner. He was a pal of 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.080 Gallardis from high school and he'd been on the commission 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.080 for two years when Galardi reached out. They make a deal, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.800 GALLARTI says, I'm gonna pay you five thousand dollars a 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.280 month in exchange for favorable votes. You got a new job, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.280 that's all corruption. Now you have two jobs. Um, that's 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.320 a damn fine deal. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.000 But it's going to take more than just one vote 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.640 to get GALLARTI what he wants. It wasn't like it 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.080 was like a tipping point thing seven person commission, and 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.160 so he he wants to lock him in. He's I 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.080 don't want, I don't want. So Malone is like, I 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.000 can think of three colleagues who could be bribed. Yeah, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.520 He's like, just off the top of my head, I 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.959 got three. We're kind of a block. Malone starts by 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.440 suggesting sheet because like it's like an algorithm, like work 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.320 out with grafts and um. He starts testing this woman 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.400 Aaron Kenny, and she was a former casino waitress who 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:28.400 opened an advertising firm in nineteen nine and then she 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.080 gets elected to the Clark County Commission in two thousand. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.920 When Gallardi approached her, she was thirty nine years old. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:40.480 It's pretty young. Like, so in total over the years, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.440 Aaron Kenny accepted between a hundred and fifty thousand and 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.520 two hundred thousand dollars from Gallardi, which is a pretty 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.240 good chunk of change for not a lot of work. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:53.360 But there's a good amount of risk, right, This is 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.360 five thousand dollars a month, and she got a hundred fifty. Well, no, 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:02.080 I malone is pretty. He's just break him off. He's 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:07.720 doing special deals for each one, so um Gallardi. He 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.080 also claimed to have a number of quote intimate encounters 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:17.200 with Kenny in that time. They were cash, they were 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:22.040 cashing in chips. Yeah, so here's my favorite cash transaction. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.240 Uh So Aaron Kenny meets up with Michael Gaillardi at 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.280 the site of his new home in the hills overlooking Vegas, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.280 and before they're going to meet up in a construction trailer, 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:38.280 they're like, la, la, you know how to treat all Gallardi. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.520 He's like standing at the trunk of his car for 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.000 a while. What's he doing. He's counting out ten thousand 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.320 dollars in bills on the trunk of his car. Yeah, 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.600 And and then he's putting him into a special container 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.720 for her, something luxurious. Sarah, What luxurious container was that? 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.320 The Crown Crown Royal bottle? You got it? The bag, 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.320 the Crown Royal bag. Yeah, He's like, I want something 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.640 special for my lady before we go into this cone. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.840 He gave her ten in a velvet Crown Royal bag. See, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.920 you know how to treat a woman, right, Like a 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:16.640 romantic oh yeah, the way you do anything is the 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.880 way you do everything, and how there's a crown royal 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.080 kind of guy. I like to look, baby, I did 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:27.800 it right. I feel that velvet. Wow. So anyway, so 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.920 he runs for governor lieutenant governor lieutenant governor in two 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.360 thousand two, and like right before the election, her campaign 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.440 the balance was negative three d and fifty thousand dollars. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.680 She was in debt. Her campaign was right before writing 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.360 a lot of checks or campaign couldn't. That's a lot 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.200 of debt for that kind of campaign. But later she 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.360 had missed us stealing a lot of money from her 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:59.520 campaign was the one. She's the one who yeah, exactly. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.720 So she's you know, she has she's in the situation. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.320 She calls Lance Mellow, he's her own consulting team, and 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:09.120 she says asks about GALLARTI and quote, tell me what 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.280 I've got to do, but I've got to have money 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.640 from him. I'm on my knees begging. So right after that, 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:20.080 she gets a check from GALLARTI for tho dollars. She's 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.360 three fifty and he's like like here, I poured a 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.600 little drop in the bucket. The bucket back. She lost 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.520 the election. Yeah, so she she was never charged with 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.800 campaign finance crimes, even though she was also wrapped up 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.880 in other bribery charges related to money that she got 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.040 from these real estate developers. So she was dipping all 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.000 over the place. She gave up her commission seat, and 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.400 then she later got a gig as a consultant with 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.440 one of the real estate developers who was paying her 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.720 off before. And that's how that works. I think you 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:57.120 know what her new salary was at that gigo. Dollars 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:04.680 a month. Dang, dang, dang. Okay, let's take a quick break. Wait, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.840 dollars a month, a month, so that's thirty thousand every 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.760 two months, and then that's a hundred and eighty thousand 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.640 dollars a year as a consultant for the real estate agents. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:24.040 Not already Okay, that's a side, yes, yes, totally paper um. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.679 All right, so quick break, and then we come back. 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.760 I'm gonna tell you about the rest of the murderers 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:54.840 row he assembled. There's more, all right, sus Aaron. When 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.120 we were last here before, we went outside and ran 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.280 around and I got I got all musty and dusty. Well, 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.320 I like to go out and exercise and kind of 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.480 like get my energy out because I'm a really high 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:12.639 energy person.

She hates to be comfortable, Yeah, exactly. 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:24.080 She loves stress and inconvenience, so frustration is her jam. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.399 So before we went out and did wind sprints in 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.920 the street, UM, I was telling you about Michael GALLARTI 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:36.600 strip club man. Uh, Lance Malone bag man, and then yeah, 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.280 and then commissioner Kenny councilwoman Kenny. I guess she was 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.879 a commissioner, um, and how she was going to be 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.280 making what do we calculated out a d as a 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.880 quote unquote consultant. I could do that, um anyway, So 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.840 we've got two more people that Lance Malone has to 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.960 bring on board in order to be able to fix 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.119 Still got the gated votes for Glarti because you got 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:05.919 to get Jaguars open. Come on, we're all about innovation 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.240 in this world. What's next mega stair conditioning bill for 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.040 that place? Oh my god, you're right. And then like 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:16.800 disinfectant okay, so just drained in the middle. You know 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.120 how in Vegas, like it's so hot and it's such 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.919 a dry heat that like you rely on evaporative cooling, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.840 and they're all those spray systems to keep well. They 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:32.760 just put disinfectantly with disinfect and glitter glitter identified. Oh 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.800 you've been in jaguar as you're covered in a fine 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:40.040 patina of glitter. You put a black light on him. Alright, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.600 So Lance Malone, he's he's paid vote number one. Aaron 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.119 Kenny paid vote number two two more number three. Mary 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:54.159 Kincaid Chauncey. Yeah, she owns a flower shop at and 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.760 she also served on the Commission from to two thousand 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.320 and four. She was six seven years old when she 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.159 was approached by Gaillarti in two thousand. He's got a 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.840 pair on him to go to a sixty seven year 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.800 old flower shop owner and being like, hey, can I 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:13.280 make you dirty strip into a florist? I mean, come on, 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:19.520 you gotta have some stones to walk into a florist. Okay, 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.720 So that he uh Gallardi said he paid her eighty 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.399 five grand in total over their business relationship. That's nothing 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.800 close to what Aaron Kenny was getting, but she was 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.439 also not getting anything close to but still it's a 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:41.439 good amount, right, m have been freaky So August two 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:46.480 thousand one, Mary Kinkaide Chauncey. She gets eight hundred dollars 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:50.240 from Gallarti via Lance Malone, and then she votes to 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:55.720 approve a liquor license for Jaguars. Good that she checked 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:59.399 it off. Good to her money. She confirmed her integrity 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.320 was worth the low low price of thirty eight Like, 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:07.439 who cares what the votes for liquor whatever touches. But 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.359 it's a bummer, like for it to be known you 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.480 can be bought for so little. Do you think that, 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.520 like the correct people are getting together and being like, 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:17.119 here's her price, I'll tell you right now. Or is 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:18.560 it one of those things that people don't talk about 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.040 salaries where they don't talk about your corruption amounts, Like 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.639 I can't tell you how much. You know that you 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:26.439 can get what you need for thirty eight hundred, But 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.240 they're like, you know, wait till after the holidays and 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:33.480 then prices go down. We've got grandkids, so she'll put 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.560 out a lot for the holiday. It was August two 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:40.040 one hundred October two thousand one. She gets five grand 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.240 from Malone up and then she voted to approve additional 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:48.600 liquor licenses for his clubs. So okay, you know, maybe 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.320 it was it was more than one. She understands the assignment. 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.159 She later gets five grand um that she said was 0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.320 a campaign donation for her son's unsuccessful bid for North 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:05.280 Las Vegas City Council, and then she set up some 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.760 sort of strip club event for her adult son. Does 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.600 Nevada even have campaign finance or overside or is that 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:13.359 like they have like a law against it they like 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.840 you cannot look at she sets up a strip club 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.119 party for her adult son. I don't know if it 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.000 was a campaign event, like I told you, Mary freaky 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:26.280 like I got that from her right away. Mary, I 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:28.520 set up a party by strip club for my son. 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.080 By the way, I'm gonna need Bunny to be there 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.359 because she's my favorite. That's just what moms do for 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.320 their boys. Yeah, I mean, that's what my mom did 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:37.800 for my seventh birthday. Party. Was so nice of her. 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.600 I've seen the picture Misty Mountains was there was amazing. 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.480 I don't know. I don't mind to go with the 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.639 literate like like Misty Canyon's I got nothing. It was. 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:52.560 It was a formative experience for you. Okay, So March April, 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.480 I'm just listening them. This is fun. Can I take 0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:59.920 over July August, your turn, March April. You messed it. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.359 You gotta go back. That's the order. They're in A 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:11.119 two I'm sorry to March April tune two thousand two. 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.800 She gets we're talking about you know, of course, Mary, 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.560 what's her bucket? She gets three more five thousand dollar payments, 0:23:19.920 --> 0:23:23.040 and then she continues to vote in favor of Gallardis 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.840 clubs flowers. The flower shop needs a new roof. She did, though, 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.119 she voted in favor of the no touching rule. So 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.080 she voted I don't understand, and voted in favor of 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:35.359 the no touchy rule. So that means she said no 0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:39.600 touching in the clubs. So what everything that Gallardi didn't want? 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:44.640 So she approved the liquor, she approved the licensing, everything else. 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:46.959 But she's like, but you can't allow the dancers to 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.200 touch them. So either she got confused and thought she 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.199 was just supposed to vote yes on everything, or my 0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.880 guess is that it allowed her plausible to my ability. 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.200 I'm guessing with that one, because she's like the old lady, 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:58.960 not old lady, but she's like a six seven year 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.040 old grandmother. She can't be in there going. I think 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:02.680 the dancers should be able to put the boobs in 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:07.600 the guy's faces, dollar bills and do each other's faces. 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:09.639 Everything else is pro business. Yeah, you can do that 0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:12.479 and so and I'm figuring she knew that there were 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:15.600 enough votes to cover the You know that it would 0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:17.639 it would be knocked down. Yeah, if you're going to 0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.400 throw the World Series, you gotta get a couple of hits. Exactly, exactly, 0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:24.120 So the ordinance was not approved. They could touch all 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:30.600 they wanted, full contact. Stripp eron ees Um, here's something 0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.159 I love, Zaron, Yes, is it trains? No? I do 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:39.080 love trains. So um. According to Gallardi's later testimony, Kinkaid 0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:44.760 Chauncey also asked Gallardi for fifteen thousand dollars so she 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:49.560 could send her grandson to ski the grandkids. Yes, I'm on, Mary, Yeah, 0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:53.359 I got my thumb with She asked for fifteen thousand dollars, 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:57.479 and GALLARTI was like, here's four grand He's just the 0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:01.320 constant lowballing. He's consistent with that. Let's make a deal. 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.760 Like you're desperate, I'll give you four grands. Did your 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:09.840 grand water school to going to like Shamany Maybe he's 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:14.960 maybe he's gonna train for the Olympics, or maybe that 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.280 was when she said that she did air quotes around 0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:21.679 ski school. Really is Cocaine's like, my grandson has a 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.639 ski school problem and I need to get help for him, 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:28.080 need to go to school. Um, so we've got we've 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:32.359 got Kinkaid, Chauncey, We've got Aaron Kinney, We've got lots 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.919 malone and then all of these overseas by the LARTI 0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.040 we need one more vote. Yes, we got to get 0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:42.080 it over the top. And that brings us to Dario Herrera. Yeah, 0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:44.520 I've gotten a good feel on Dario. Well, okay, in 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:48.119 two thousand, he's twenty seven years old. I love this, 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.119 I know. And he's the chairman of the Commission. So 0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:54.320
