that place was packed, right? the judge is a respected guy. what was the name? oh, good. that was some that was some crowd. we had twice the number outside and then you had this crazy beto. beto had like 400 people in a parking lot. they said his crowd was wonderful. reporter: now, pam, i was at that rally for the president back in february when beto o rourke was outside his supporters. the president was bragging about getting illegal immigrants the hell out of our country, something the crowd inside was cheering but people outside were protesting the president s visit to ohio, months before this tragedy was going to strike. that s also a rally where the president still owes the city of el paso over half a million dollars, something they initially billed him for and added on a late fee because it has not been paid. those fees are because of police officers having to be paid for working that event, public safety costs that the city has
said they didn t want those visits to hospitals to be a photo opportunity, they did later release videos of their own and now we re getting another look at just what it was that the president was doing, particularly in the hospital in el paso. we are getting a video of someone who was in the hospital that shows the president praising the medical staff there, praising them and their response to what is essentially such a tragedy but also pivoting to talk about himself. look at this group of people, can you believe this? they are fantastic. i was here three months ago, we had a speech. what was the name of the arena. that place was packed, right? that was some crowd. we had twice the number outside and then you had this crazy beto. beto had like 400 people in a parking lot. reporter: so you see the president there talking about that rally he had back in february when beto o rourke held a counterrally against the president talking about the
