Joseph Lombardo

00:00:01 - 00:00:03 (2 sec)

Oh, absolutely.

Donald Trump

00:00:03 - 00:00:14 (11 sec)

I think that the interaction saved hundreds and hundreds of lives. Well, I want to congratulate you on a job well done.

Donald Trump

00:00:14 - 00:00:22 (8 sec)

The professionalism... I just left the hospital, and I have to tell you, the doctors, the nurses, everybody over there was incredible. And...

Joseph Lombardo

00:00:22 - 00:00:24 (1 sec)

Thank you for doing that.

Donald Trump

00:00:24 - 00:00:38 (14 sec)

Well, they were really... I met a lot of the patients, and you saved them, and the doctors, nurses all of the people at the hospital saved them. Cab drivers were great.

Donald Trump

00:00:38 - 00:00:50 (12 sec)

Cab drivers were asking people, telling people "get out of the car"" and they were grabbing... one instance where a young woman said the cab driver just threw people out of the car and said

Donald Trump

00:00:51 - 00:00:59 (7 sec)

Tremendous number of stories. But what the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police did is -- but I've always known you were good, right?

Donald Trump

00:00:59 - 00:01:11 (12 sec)

You know that. I've always known you guys were good, but you really proved it. And he's a sick, demented man. Have they been able to find out anything else? It's a little bit soon?

Unidentified

00:01:11 - 00:01:20 (9 sec)

Still a little bit soon. We have a couple of good leads and we're working our way through that. We're going to get the answers.

Donald Trump

00:01:20 - 00:01:24 (4 sec)

Yeah, no, there might be something there. But the wires are screwed up, but there might be something there.

Donald Trump

00:01:24 - 00:01:36 (12 sec)

Well, again, I'm going to say a few words to your group, but I just wanted to come in and say hello and congratulate you. I was a fan before this -- you know that. Everyone in this room knows that. A big fan before this.

Donald Trump

00:01:36 - 00:01:43 (8 sec)

And I guess, if you could be more of a fan, I guess I'm even more of a fan now. But you showed the world, and the world is watching.

Donald Trump

00:01:43 - 00:01:57 (14 sec)

And you showed what professionalism is all about, because that was about as fast -- something like that could take place for hours and hours and hours, and you can't figure it out. And you should be very proud, Sheriff.

Joseph Lombardo

00:01:57 - 00:02:06 (9 sec)

Just a matter of identification -- Officer Hancock there at the end, to your right there, he was the first SWAT officer to engage the individual.

Joseph Lombardo

00:02:06 - 00:02:22 (16 sec)

And Officer Bitsko there, the K-9 officer that assisted with that initial [Inaudible]. And Officer Morris and Officer Burt there were the two officers I described that were partnered with the security guard.

Donald Trump

00:02:22 - 00:02:34 (12 sec)

He did a good job, didn’t he? He did a good job. Now, his option would have been try to do it himself. But if it doesn’t work, you wouldn’t have had the information, maybe, right? He did the right thing.

Unidentified

00:02:34 - 00:02:36 (3 sec)

He did. We relied on him for the information.

Donald Trump

00:02:36 - 00:02:39 (2 sec)

That's great. That's really great.

Joseph Lombardo

00:02:39 - 00:02:54 (16 sec)

So everyone else, seated behind the press there, were integral in saving numerous lives. The gentleman right to your left, that firefighter right there was off-duty watching the concert, and remained to save several lives.

Joseph Lombardo

00:02:54 - 00:03:10 (16 sec)

So I think it's important for you to know that every single person in here was instrumental in lifesaving measures. And these two young ladies here were our dispatchers, so they're probably the most important people in the room --

Donald Trump

00:03:10 - 00:03:12 (2 sec)

Calm and strong and sharp.

Unidentified

00:03:12 - 00:03:21 (9 sec)

If you ever have the opportunity to listen to the radio traffic, these two young ladies were amazing. The third young lady decided to go to Cabo.

Unidentified

00:03:21 - 00:03:28 (7 sec)

She needed a break -- [Laughter] -- and a margarita.
