sheldon: right. in two years. betty: wow. sheldon: the business was there. i think that people weren't recognizing it. how did i think it was going to grow? because there was 1.3 billion chinese. betty: in fact, about 64% of adelson's las vegas sands revenue comes from his macau properties. since opening the sands macau in 2004, he has expanded into other industries. include ferries. bringing people from his resorts in hong kong to macau in high-speed boats. sheldon: what i recognized was , one, there was not enough ferry service. so i set up a ferry company. what do i know about the ferry business? what i know about every business when i go into it. zero. but there's not much i cannot learn. i believe that this industry in which we operate, in the lodging and the gaming industry, i believe that it's a supply-driven industry. betty: so if you -- sheldon: if you put those buildings there, they will come. betty: and they did. sheldon: and they still do. betty: when we come back, the battle for market share pits adelson against the ho family, not just lawrence,

sheldon: and they still do.etty: when we come back, the battle for market share pits him against the ho family. not just lawrence, but his sister, pansy ho. she tells us how she is trained -- trying to keep the gaming industry all in the family. pansy: my father paved the foundation for macau today. and we definitely carry that torch. ♪ betty: sheldon adelson may be trying to conquer macau, but patriarch stanley ho's industry -- original empire is far from failing. his company, sjm holdings, operates the most casino tables in macau. they account for nearly a quarter of macau's revenue. we spoke with pansy ho, his daughter. she says gaming in macau is still a family business. you are the richest woman in hong kong. pansy: i don't know how they calculate it, but they say so. betty: do you feel, and among your own siblings, the fact that you are part of a legendary hong kong family? do you feel like you have that added responsibility. pansy: we definitely feel like we have that sense of a legacy. as you said, from

>> sheldon adelson has access period.t have to stroke you 300,000 or 3 million or $3 billion check to get that. because of his position his views, particularly with respect to israel which is respected within the party. he doesn't have to throw his money around that way. what he's doing, and what i think you see the kochs and others doing, i think you're absolutely right. this is as much ideological with respect to some of the things that they are pushing. >> but the kochs have invested a lot at the state level. >> so is it ideological for the billionaires on the left who are funding global warming, or is it just about their bottom line? >> i think it's vanity. what is the difference fundamentally between marco rubio and jeb bush on israel the bigger comments aside? i mean the field is very tight in terms of that. including rand paul all of a sudden. the same himymnal. and the role that he wants to play of king maker. sheldon, you can't really differentiate ideologically between these guys, but he wants to be the guy that

the money primary on the republican side in las vegas today, so sheldon addleson. we know what he did with newt gingrich in 2012. there's reporting from politico that marco rubio has the inside track to get addleson's support in this. what's your read? >> the only thing that is predictable about addleson is his unpredictability. that makes republicans nervous. he propped up newt gring rich. by the time 2016 was shaping up addleson actually wanted mitt romney to run again. he was his guy. he urged him to get in the race. that shows -- >> wonder what mick thought about that? >> of course he didn't run. now rubio has the inside track. he's sort of a pure hawk. but, a lot of the folks around sheldon are nervous he could go in with another candidate who is perhaps more hawkish, say a lindsey graham or ted cruz who is potentially less viable in a general election. rubio, frankly would probably be a good choice. >> that's the other question about addleson. we're in this era of billionairs who can prop up kpanz single handedly. the psychology becomes the thing. did he walk

i say sheldon adelson won the weekend. the guy. there is a sheldon adelson primary. he has his own primary. people came out to kiss his ring. he will continue to be a winner for some time. i will say the big winner of the weekend was barack obama at the white house correspondents dinner. killing it, as he does every year. he is a great comic performer. mark: he was good, but he has been better. john: there is james. mark: another bad day in the media for the clinton campaign. the clinton foundation has a technology mistakes in the handling of some of the foreign donations. bill clinton reportedly got paid $200,000 by goldman sachs for a speech he gave in 2011 months before the gotham city firm started lobbying the clinton state department. that is according to the "international business times." here is a sampling of what the clintons got. >> what still boggles the mind is why doesn't hillary deal with this herself? >> the sloppiness in the greed that follows on this. >> it is about the appearance of conflict of interest and everyone seems to understand this is a hug

the latest days of the sheldon adelson primary is happening in las vegas. and jeb bush is holding a donor retreat in miami. what is the cosmic significance of these three big events? john: the religious right still matter in iowa. money still matters. and jeb bush cares more about his donors than about the national press corps. mark: it is the first time rand did a iowa cattle call. i think he might be the front runner in iowa. it might be interesting to see how good he does in a group that big. the will show a video and then give his stump speech. that will be interesting to me. las vegas, george w. bush is opening for his brother. and finally jeb bush, i agree with you, the donors are really important to him. this group has buzz in the political world that some of the people in his donor community think the campaign is arrogant disorganized, maybe not being as forthcoming with the donors. there was a call for some of the big donors where very little information was provided. it is a big opportunity for them to get the donors engaged like , the obama and r

rather than counting cards he is counting on the generosity of sheldon adelson, trying to play the role of king maker in the 2016 election. the 36th richest american is expected to spend upwards of $100 million. >> an individual with millions tense of millions hundreds of millions, could fit the bill for a campaign, and make a difference have a determinative effect. >> reporter: running for president is about getting the most electoral vote. the new way of campaigning is about getting the most cash. it's the legacy of the supreme court's 2010 citizens united ruling allowing compses and unions to pend unlimited sums of money on campaign. and the recent case allows for nonprofit organizations to accept limited donations from individuals. it is precisely this provision that will allow jed bush to have all television advertising and mail paid for by an entity allowing unprecedented funds. and to operate with a coordinated effort. >> the republicans seem to be talking only about me. >> before bush is a candidate. >> we must do better than the obama administration-clinton foreign policies tha

politico america reports that sheldon adelson thinks senator rubio could be the future of the republican party. to what extent does rubio's status as a freshfaced, rising star a commune intraparty attacks? mark: it a real problem because we saw it as president obama in 2008. attacking the guy who was supposed to be leaving the party to the promised land is hard to do. you might take out rubio with negative ads but the backlash could hit you. as long as he is seen as he is now, it is harder to take him on as it is walker, cruise, or bush. john: you know the super pac's will be doing some dirty work. i think there is enough to look at and rubio's background. not as formidable to jeb bush in some ways but there is a lot of stuff that went on in florida. a look about his time down there and i think the bush campaign, among others, will not be shy about wanting to take him out. mark: we almost have to put a countdown clock on the show because marco rubio has gone without -- has gone all of 2015 without a day in david louvre's barrel. it will be a challenge because again, imagine if they get c

bush was there to let sheldon adeleson know my brother is a neo-con.m tough on the war on terror and so is my brother jeb. he was playing the surrogate for jeb bush and trying to get jewish american voters on the side of jeb even though he wasn't there for the adeleson meeting. >> douglas brinkley thank you. >> coming up next after a weekend of protests in baltimore, some clearly quite violent. police now are saying they are the ones being threatened by gangs in the city. we have that for you and reaction. also a desperate session for any survivors in nepal after this massive earthquake. incredible moment when this little boy was pulled out of the rubble alive. >>> this is baltimore. this is clearly one of the armored trucks perhaps this is the city police department. i'm not sure. this truck begins to move near the mall in the city some folks along the, obviously in the middle of the road. some of these demonstrators this afternoon, all of this happening as freddy gray has been laid to rest today. we can stay on the pictures. police this is what we're

so if you're outspending sheldon edelson, you're spending a lot of money. [laughter] i think he put $5 million into it in one state and was outspent. >> host: right. >> guest: so there was that. second there was what i call rosy memory, rosy-colored memory st. augustin phrase, he talks about how our memories are rosy-colored, it's better to remember than to have gone through it again. try going through it again, it won't be so rosy. people thought of their experience in the '60s and '70s, and they knew lots of people smoked marijuana, maybe they had smoked marijuana no big deal. no harm. it's not the marijuana we have today. third, a very effective campaign in classic terms, medical marijuana, the person who can't get relief anywhere else. so medical marijuana was the wedge. that's what it was in colorado that's what it is in many states saying how can you deny people the chance to feel better if this is the only thing that will make them feel better? this is a very interesting difference between marijuana and cocaine, for example. cocaine, i became drug cz

ruth sheldon knowles came from an oklahoma oil family. her book "the greatest gamblers" told the industry's history. rockefeller stayed out of the drilling end because he didn't want to lose any money. he was the one who always wanted to -- he wanted to make the money. and when he saw that there was such a thing as drilling dry holes and you could lose money it was obvious to him in the beginning that there was going to be as much money lost in looking for oil as there would be made by finding it. schoumacher: rockefeller bought the oil that other men drilled refined it, and sold it. by 1869, he had the largest refinery in the country. and a year later standard oil of ohio was born. when competition squeezed profit margins, rockefeller squeezed the competition. willing competitors were bought. unwilling competitors found themselves cut off from railroads pipelines, and credit. by having the monopoly that he had originally -- which in refining and in pipelining -- he was able to control the price of oil for the producers. and the independe

that is something i will watch carefully to see if he does pull down sheldon adelson's support.: thank you julie. be sure to catch a big interview tonight in politics with house speaker john boehner, an exclusive interview coming up. i believe he will also be at this las vegas event. a $45 billion acquisition of time warner cable may be teetering on the brink of collapse. it is 99% dead. staffers join lawyers at the justice department. regulators say it would mean higher prices and hurt consumers, apparently. alex sherman is here with more. the tide has turned. what is it about doing a hearing that mystical say, hey, the deal is dead? alex: simply the length of it. he cannot remember anyone ever going to the process of going through one of these hearings. they take so long. all of the dirty laundry that may be comcast is not really want aired out there in public washington and also, when rich and i were talking, he pointed out comcast needs customers. if you're going to fight washington, representing consumers, you come across as the bad guy. it may be spiraling away from comcas

sera spent by three / one in one of those that contributed was sheldon adelson. review outspend him. [laughter] that was just with one state. so what i call a rosy memory to chart the vial of the very is rosy it is better to remember after but try to live throat -- through again people think of the '60s him the '70s people had smoked marijuana and no big deal. that is that the marijuana we have today. is very effective campaign in classic terms of medical marijuana or person who cannot get relief and neighbor tells. that is a legend ministates saying how can you deny the chance that is a difference between marijuana and cocaine but a superb physical specimen new york whalers stock fell by cocaine it doesn't happen like marijuana but it happens. people don't die from marijuana very often. the cocaine will take you to your knees. so this argument with the sympathy is what kind of person can you be to deny? so with those provisions slips were 5,000 but then she said you to have as many as you want. most of the people were males between the ages of 18 and 25. this wa
