A conspiracy theory is explored linking the Las Vegas massacre to a failed assassination attempt on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The theory suggests that the top floors of Mandalay Bay, owned by the Four Seasons (in which Al-Waleed bin Talal is a major shareholder), were used by assassins. The hosts discuss reports of multiple shooters and the possibility that Stephen Paddock was a gun runner caught in a larger sting operation.
