sheldon adelson, he is meeting with people who want his money down the line. >> how about what happened at the adelson suite? i think that was as telling as anything in terms of where this leaves cruz. you don't go anywhere without the money. >> he is not all about the money. >> if cruz is playing a longer game and speaking to conservatives out there who loved what he did as well as meeting the anger of the crowd. >> how about newt gingrich having to clean up on aisle nine? >> professor gingrich to the rescue. a guy who fancies himself as smarter than the rest of the candidates. a clever way to try to rescue it. that is the phase that if he just inserted it into his speech, ted cruz might have been able to thread the needle. do all of the things we're talking about. put his flag in the ground for 2020. appeal to the conservatives, but placate the thousands of people led by the new york delegation, who were ready to really -- some of the things that were said, we can't talk about on the air. a lot of folks were angry. >> that is a high bar for this campaign. what did you think about the

i mentioned money, i want to bring in sheldon adelson, chairman of las vegas sands.buted, written pretty big checks in the past. he said simply i like newt. charles: could potentially bring in $100 million? >> yes. charles: the koch brothers on one side, sheldon on another side. >> also sessions and also lt. general michael flynn. many people say, okay the military experience would grittily benefit donald trump. the issue him, we talked about this in the opposite way on the democratic ticket is lt. general michael flynn is actually pro-choice. he has said my family is lifelong democrats but i believe in donald trump. donald trump apparently is very much a fan of his. he certainly has the military expertise but it is unclear whether that one issue could make-or-break the ticket. charles: definitely, it is a nail-biter that's for sure. deirdre, thanks a lot. really appreciate it. i want to turn to karl rove what donald trump should be considering with this vp pick. carl, deirdre just laid out all the different items to consider. i just want to also talk a little bit mo

yes, sheldon adelson, apparently, kicked him out of the vip booth. but there are many other vip booths available in the future if donald trump does not win. sheldon adelson is not the only person ready to open his pocket. >> glen wrote a great piece last night, talking about the political risk cruz is taking with this maneuver. and it's a political risk. because cruz is making the gamble, and it may be right, it may be wrong, that come 2020, should donald trump lose, the republican party is going to return to its conservative ideological roots, and they're going to want someone like cruz to come up the center. but that's -- taking into account the idea that trump won't really change the republican party. but when you look at this convention, and you talk to the delegates, my reporting bears out to me, this party in some ways is tilting populus. it's not becoming the party of trump fully. but trumpism is filtering in. >> david frum tweeted this out a short time ago from "the atlantic." he says, ten years from now, every delegate in tonight's hall stil

by sending an e-mail to supporters, but, scott, one of the republican party's biggest donors, sheldon adelson, was so upset by cruz's speech, he barred him from his skybox at this convention. trump made it inside. parrot on --. >> pelley: major garrett on the convention floor, major, thank you. a majority of the arizona delegates were supporters of cruz, but they were bound by state law to cast their ballots for trump who had won the popular vote in the state. we spoke to three of the arizona republicans, lawrence schiff, ian murray and kathy petsas. >> i thought it was a shame that there were people booing mr. cruz. i felt that it was poor behavior and that on the third day of our convention, that's not what should be taking place. >> pelley: doctor, were you among those shouting boos? >> no, i was shouting, "say the word." he was dancing around the issue of endorsing him but he refused to do so, and he should have said, donald and i have had our differences, but in the interest of unity and in the interest of preserving our constitution, i hereby endorse donald trump. >> pelley: but that is

donor sheldon adelson, asking for $6 million, saying negative publicity around trump has turned awaylions of dollars in corporate sponsorship. on friday, the committee said the letter wasn't authorized and it mischaracterized certain donations. "the host committee has contacted the adelsons' staff to apologize for the inaccuracy," they wrote in a statement. "the efforts to raise funds for the r.n.c. are ongoing." and what about the stop-trump movement? they tried and failed this week to change the rules that could have denied trump the nomination on the convention floor. >> they killed the conscience clause but they didn't kill the movement. >> reporter: kendall unruh heads a group leading anti-trump efforts. she says those grass-roots delegates will still make their voices heard. >> and the very thing that the r.n.c. and trump were truly trying to stop, they have now guaranteed they will get. >> reporter: unruh said the mike pence pick may convince some conservative delegates to support trump. but reena, she also predicted that pence will get more votes here on the floor for vice pr

afterwards, sheldon adelson was so furious he wouldn't let cruz into this suite afterwards. all this on a night when other candidates who have been beaten by trump did specifically back him. >> thank you. >> reporter: leading a parade of presidential contenders defeated by donald trump, wisconsin governor scott walker enfordors for the first time the republican nominee. >> we need to support donald trump and mike pence to be the next president and vice president of the united states. >> reporter: defeated candidate marco rubio by video. >> it's time to come together. >> reporter: conservatives most wanted to hear ted cruz. the texas senator had done the best against trump calling him unfit for the white house. would cruz endorse?gratulate dod trump on winning the nomination last night. >> reporter: cordial but no endorsement. >> vote your conscience. vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust. >> reporter: donald trump had arrived backstage and as he came into the hall, delegate cheers for trump turned to boos at cruz. when cruz wrapped up without endorsing tru

you mentioned newt gingrich, the las vegas chairman sheldon adelson who has been known to write big checks in the past of the republican party said very tersely i like new. as far as some of the other candidates indiana governor mike pence the coke brothers seem to be in approval of that. well that move the needle as far as the decision goes. he makes his own mind up. he is very strategic and other things but this would not be a strategic move because at the end of the day it is the trump ticket, he will be the president and he has to do what would be right for our country and what would put america first. it's always going to be his decision and it's gonna be the right decision and not let fundraising or other variables get in the way to muddy the waters. deirdre: let me ask you this they are assuming correctly or incorrectly that the pick is mr. pence. should he be picking 70 with military experience, foreign policy. they will have so many problems and challenges however you want to phrase it so if he does go with the indiana governor governor is he prepared to answer questions about the

we should tell you sheldon adelson, billionaire casino magnate is in town.op representatives last night at quicken arena. trump was in the attendance for some of the meetings he was having. other people in attendance i hear was governor nikki haley of south carolina, governor scott walker of wisconsin, senator jeff sessions. so it was kind of an interesting eclectic meeting adelson was having. why is adelson important? he can raise a lot of money. he was there pressing the flesh and trying to get some party unity. those people i named like nikki haley, they want to tap into his wealth as well. the other sort of interesting gossip going on here, ted cruz advisors, i don't know if this matters, they're actually saying, ted cruz advisors, that an endorsement of donald trump now, in the future is not, is not out of the question. they're actually telling other people, political operatives here, he wouldn't endorse him last night but he might endorse him in the future if he becomes more conservative, does some things cruz laid out last night. i don't know if donal

and sheldon adelson stayed mum last week in cleveland on whether he has or will donate money to donaldmp. maybe he'll say something about the election. we'll be listening. back to you. >> the intrigue. meg, jane, thank you. we'll see you both at the top of the hour when those earnings do come out. joining us on the floor of the exchange with the dow down 88 point, anthony chance, the chief economist at chase. you want to look at this correlation. since we're in the midst of earnings right now, on the impact job growth has on earnings or vice versa, huh? >> earnings have very important, because when corporations are making more money, they're obviously in a better mood to hire people. and what i find is right now, what you're seeing is very weak earnings. in fact, right now, with these kind of earnings, we would be averaging about 55,000 nonforeign payrolls per month. the fact that we get 147,000 in the second quarter was impressive. i think quantitative easing is sort of offering more support. so, the good news is that earnings are going to go through an inflection point, and by the en

last week, the cleveland host committee asked billionaire backer sheldon adelson still cover a millionlars shortfall. coca-cola, pepsi, fedex, and visa have bowed out, another companies is sponsored 2012 rnc that will not be returning include apple, wells fargo, ups, motorola, j.p. morgan chase, walgreens, and ward. this comes as a civil rights group, color of change, has pressured organizations nototo endodorse trump's "hateful and raises record" or face boycott. ofare joined by the color change executive director. tell as what you did. >> in early february, we started -- we had been watching donald trump for years. five years ago, we ran our first campaign against donald trump when he was doing the birther rant and asking for transcripts from president obama. but his work comes from before that. so we recognize that this convention was going to be coming up. even if he was not the winner at the time, he was saying there could potentially be riots if he was not. we started to do some research, and we looked into the corporation that sponsored four years ago and eight years ago. we hav

. >> did you get a bit from sheldon adelson, the billionaire, las vegas billionaire who is very activean politics? >> we're just starting reaching out now. so ask us again in a while. >> look at this stage. you want to talk about unification within our party. i'm sitting with kellyanne and alex, who for the past year we were on different teams debating each other, unity in the party has brought us here together -- >> we didn't see that unity with ted cruz last night. >> it's a bigger picture. >> that may have been one of the great moments of the convention that helps donald trump. >> why do you think that? you're a veteran republican strategist. >> i can tell you that. ted cruz is a self-interested politician that no one likes, the narrowist possible expression of what it means to be a republican. in a general election, ted cruz is the republican equivalent of zika, and when you don't have zika, it's good. in a general election, that's not helpful. last night, everything people don't like about ted cruz he reinforced, the self-interest. some people are talented enough to take an act of

he went up to the sky box level here at the q in cleveland and he started to go to the box of sheldon adelson. he was turned away from the box according to several people in the box. other gop donors who ran across cruz in the elite hallway, private hallway, weren't happy with cruz. trump however made the rounds himself after cruz's speech and was telling everyone it was a quote, phenomenal moment. that's how laura ingraham described it to me, saying trump believes he united the party by having some people go against cruz. >> i have to say, whatever you think of ted cruz's politics, whatever you think of what he did last night, what i kept thinking is going into a room of thousands of people that you know are going to boo you is not a thing that a lot of politicians do or relish as much as ted cruz appears to relish it. >> he does. cruz enjoys being the villain. i have been covering him in congress since he came to the senate. this is someone who relishes the fight, often against the republican establishment. what makes this different is that cruz's fight is now in part against the populist g

sheldon adelson and republican jewish coalition and their allies have pledged to spend $25 million to fight a war in eight swing states. pennsylvania unfortunately is a swing state. their goal is to get 10% of the jewish vote, alienated against barack obama and hillary clinton and swing 10% of the jewish vote. the results of that micro war in pennsylvania, if they're successful would be 22,680 votes. 22,680 votes. i hope pennsylvania is a blowout. i hope every state is a blowout but the polls this morning and polls in september are not going to show that. we'll have to work for every vote. they will spend $25 million to try to swing that. you will see horrible signs like this one which you can't see but we can't trust hillary who sold out america and israel. it is only thing they can talk about. they can't talk about domestic issues. they can't talk about social justice. they can't talk about choice, education, poverty, health care. they have can't talk about that. and they're wrong on israel. hillary is, tim kaine are very supportive on israel but only thing they are going to talk ab

sheldon adelson from out in las vegas, he reportedly told trump i like newt.must be newt and mike pence. because he spent all that time with mike pence. the reason he spent so much time with pence yesterday is because his airplane had mechanical problems in indianapolis. >> yeah. >> so he spent a little more time there. >> lucky for mike pence. but donald trump said, no one can boss me around and use money to get me to change my mind because i funded my own campaign. >> there you go. >> it's interesting. if you want to open it up for a candid conversation, newt gingrich will always have that. he was on the channel last evening and he was talking candidly about a trump-gingrich ticket. >> i don't know if i should say this, but many ways, donald trump is like a pirate. he gets things done, he's bold. he's a figure out of a movie. a lot of my career has been like a pirate. i have been prepared to fight in the media. one of the questions -- do you want a two pirate ticket? >> they're a lot alike. that's why i think it's going to be pence. we took a better earlier.

the host committee has already apologized to sheldon adelson for this.it was misleading in the sense that it was trying to depict businesses, like pepsi and coca-cola, you know, and fedex, as promising to give $1 million each and then reneging on their promise. that was not the case. the host committees were just expecting them to chip in $1 million because they did so in 2012 and 2008. so they were just telling their expectations. these companies do not break their promises or pledges. they just never intended on carrying through. host: a lot of calls coming in on this topic. judy from colorado, good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. called to make a comment about the previous guest , but to address the funding, donald trump made a statement a while back that he was going to fund his own campaign, and if he did not get elected, he was going to ask for all the money back. i thought that was an interesting thing to say. as far as i can tell, bernie sanders was the only candidate that actually ran a clean campaign. people in the

short, just days before the convention was set to begin and they sent a last-minute letter to sheldon adelson, where the most prominent financiers, asking him -- to post the gap. that information they provided him was wrong. numerous companies canceled donations because of mr. trump and it turned out that the companies listed were inaccurate and they had to issue an apology to him soon afterwards. susan: what happens next? shane: the convention, they are not too concerned. the bigger problem for the republican party is the complete lack of money they have. mr. trump had not been fundraising through the primary. he self-funded his campaign. he is relying on donors for the first time and he does not have a network of donors like almost any previous presumptive republican nominee. fundraising. they raised $50 million, but he needs tens and tens of millions of dollars behind tillie clinton who has been on the airwaves for weeks and weeks with ads. donald trump's campaign and the republican party has spent zero dollars in any battleground state so far. mr. trump -- susan: has had great success wit

. $5 million from sheldon adelson. a million dollars from paul singer of elliott management.79,000 in beverage services from bacardi usa and $100,000 from 3m corporation. what do they spend that money? as we have been seeing, there's a party aspect to any spind of political convention and last time $23,000 at burns steakhouse in tampa. $5,000 at botanica international flowers and $500 at los blancos cigars. we have to see if they were able to get the donors to pony up the big buck this is time around and just walking around here, there's a carnival atmosphere, there is a party atmosphere, so things going very well here in cleveland so far. >> isn't the party -- that's interesting about the individual donors who are financing this thing. i just assumed the republican national committee did. >> reporter: yeah, well they raised -- they have the republican convention host committee which is a separate entity and it raises money to finance the convention itself and a lot of activities. you have the republican national committee paying a piece and the trump campaign or the presiden

sheldon adelson a few days ago they're starting to see improvement there but really for wynn the revenues.6 billion, better than a year ago. adjusted earnings per share of $1.07, much better than expected. they were expecting 91 cents. that's compared to 74 cents a year ago. revenues for mccow came in at $639 million, $50 million better than the street expected. las vegas though missed a little bit. revenues came in at $419 million versus $437 million. we'll hear from steve wynn about the wynn palace opening august 22nd. the company announcing that they're going to get 100 tables they believe. granted they don't know for sure. they think they're going to get 100 tables and move 250 over from wynn mccow. they hope to open august 22nd with 350 tables. this is the first time we've gotten a number and of course it's all about the tables. we hope, kelly, steve wynn who doesn't like obama and has railed on him over the last eight years but haven't given money to trump will talk about the election. >> did sheldon ever bring it up? >> he did not. he was mum. of course, these are analysts on the c

favored newt gingrich including his son-in-law jared kushner who seemed to be influenced by sheldon adelson's support for gingrich. many of the rank-and-file people on the campaign supported gingrich and trump had a stronger personal relationship with both gingrich and chris christie so his apparent decision to go with mike pence and i would claim that anything could happen between now and it looks like tomorrow when trump will actually hold the announcement but the apparent decision to go with pence indicates trump is willing to go outside his personal comfort zone to do what he thinks is going to be politically necessary and then the other case is we seem trump unwilling to go outside his comfort zone so it may indicate a new personal dedication on trump's part to actually try to win this thing. >> host: speaking of going outside this comfort zone, let me redo a little bit about what dan paul wrote in today's washington post about mike pence and get your reaction to it. it says pence is a mission to the ticket could help unify the divided republican party ahead of next week republican conve
