Las Vegas PD Release Audio
Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up because this story is a wild ride! There’s a lot of buzz swirling around a potential medical emergency involving President Joe Biden during his trip to Las Vegas last month. Despite some compelling evidence from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD), White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has flatly denied that the president had any medical emergency. But let’s dig into what really went down.
Here’s what we know: On July 17th, while Biden was out campaigning in Las Vegas, the White House made an announcement that he had tested positive for COVID-19 yet again. As a result, they canceled his plans, and the president quickly flew back to the East Coast. This might have seemed straightforward at first, but then things got a little murky. After deplaning Air Force One, President Biden was out of the public eye for nearly a week. Naturally, this raised some eyebrows.

Fast forward to a recent press briefing, where Fox News’ Peter Doocy brought up new information that’s been making the rounds. He asked Jean-Pierre about LVMPD radio traffic that had officers scrambling to secure a hospital emergency room on July 17th.
The impression was that the president was having a medical emergency. Jean-Pierre’s response? A firm denial. She insisted that there was no medical emergency and reiterated that the president had simply tested positive for COVID-19, which they had openly communicated to the public.
But here’s where things get interesting. According to reports, including one from RedState, the story might not be as simple as COVID. Sources revealed that the Secret Service had indeed alerted LVMPD about an emergency involving the president on July 17th.
Officers were even tasked with securing a route to the University Medical Center, a Level One trauma center, but then, in a sudden change of plans, the decision was made to take the president directly to the airport instead.
I would think they wouldn't. Also what a lot of people have missed is what @RedState's @BrutalBrittany2 pointed out when we first broke the news on 7/22: The restaurant Biden was at when he had this medical emergency is abt 1.5 miles from a pretty large hospital, but Secret… pic.twitter.com/KjvbxXixtM

RedState confirmed this with their own sources and even got their hands on audio from LVMPD that supports the claim of a medical emergency. Despite this, the White House is sticking to their story. Jean-Pierre and her colleagues seem confident that they can keep this under wraps or simply avoid talking about it altogether.
