the most read newspaper in israel is owned by american sheldon adelson you know i. could have spent this segment on so much on the fact that this massacre happened on the jewish holiday of passover which is supposedly about standing up for the enslaved and the oppressed i mean it's it's all the basic. it's amazing the sheer irony of that didn't just melt the soldiers' faces as they were. but unfortunately i don't i don't have time to cover all those aspects so i focused on the language of our mainstream media that try to avoid talking about israel and when they have to when they're forced to they somehow misplaced their action verbs and the pronouns become very squishy the truth is the palestinian people deserve freedom and equality and self-determination ok still any longer do you want to do it is a bit far. the a while welcome i believe can take the news from behind my greasy is alive and well in michigan where nestle requests. to begin a new and larger water extraction program but the requests attracted a record number of public comments with eighty thousand nine

years along with nato and yahoo who is also funded you know financially by donald trump's backer sheldon adelson all of whom have been eager for war against iran and i can just see how this could be seen as a stepping stone toward escalating attentions with both around and now russia as well which we've been working toward for the last year or so tremendous danger that the world is in. my gratitude for your time and your opinions many things told piers is my guess fully u.s. army judge advocate. even to the days of the new suspended a volley is not far from the city of months in france police that moved in in the early hours of the morning to evict environmentalist's camps there for years injuries were reported on both sides from the scene his shell the david. so get. her if you will you will be if you will the. god this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people are against that people moved into the land they took over they built a coal mine over many years many people say that this is now their family land they they farm here and they want to protect it the government

was it, it was 12 years ago when newt gingrich was trying to hang on in atlanta, and sheldon adelson came in with $5 million to get him through that. >> yeah. >> that's happening every day in these presidential p contests. have no illusions about that. that is happening. and, you know, what marco rubio quite -- quote him a couple of times. but, you know, he says, you know, there's a billionaires' primary. there's a billionaires' primary in both parties. and that's, and that's going on now. right now people that want to run for president are calling, trying to get their hands on big money. no question about that. >> and it has more to do with that than it does with what they would do if they were elected president, right? >> that's correct. >> joe -- [laughter] we have a few minutes for some questions from the audience. and anybody wants to -- there's, back there in the back. >> your -- you're talking about the money that's prevalent in politics, but some of these single action money is voted for cause such as removing gun violence. so how do you reconcile that approach for these one
