On Friday afternoon, Red State Media released audio recordings from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department’s protective detail during President Joe Biden’s sudden medical emergency on July 17.
The recordings were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the Heritage Oversight Project, and confirm initial reports that Biden had planned to go to Las Vegas University Medical Center, after canceling a speaking engagement due to sudden illness.

For some reason, he was later diverted directly to Harry Reid International Airport.
In two of the new audio clips, officers can be heard being instructed to respond to a Code 3, signaling an emergency motor vehicle response. Soon after, the protective detail received an update, confirming Biden was experiencing a medical emergency and was being seen on-site by medical personnel. Officers were initially instructed to standby:
“For everyone on the radio, right now POTUS is 421. He’s being seen, so we’re just kinda waiting to see how this is shaping out. So, for everybody’s knowledge, he’s 421 right now; we’re just trying to figure out what’s going on and we’re gonna go from there.”
Code 421 denotes a sick or injured person, according to the LVMPD's code sheet.
Once the emergency was called in, officers can be heard fervently coordinating with Biden’s protective detail to clear the routes and get POTUS medical attention over the next 20 minutes of the clip.
Biden had been set to speak at MGM Grand when the incident unfolded, prompting his detail to quickly change course and divert him to the hospital.
Biden, however, never made it there. He was rushed to Air Force One and flown back to Delaware instead.
