thinks sheldon adelson. a few years ago actually called for the u.s. to drop a nuclear bomb on iran this is someone who is a doe tard in the lexicon of north korea's kim who is out of his mind and donald trump is heavily invested in sheldon adelson adelson bernard marcus and paul singer three pro israel billionaires contributed over forty million dollars to donald trump's election and i think this is the real danger this likud wing of the israel lobby at the same time the u.s. military the pentagon brass they understand the consequences of a war with iran would be absolutely catastrophic and it would create an existential domestic crisis in this country as well as for the e.u. which is dead set against it i think what we're going to see is continued economic warfare yet max but let me get is this a form of kind of virtuous signaling i mean trump is showing that he's going through the motions made it at the end of the did the pentagon is going to say you know the collateral damage of this would be so devastat

sheldon adelson bought "the review journal." the other paper in las vegas was fading. so i said there is an opportunity to do here what john suggested because democracy is so dependent on robust journalism. i said i think the nonprofit model is the future of journalism, unless you happen to run into a sheldon adelson or jeff bezos. perhaps if your best friend is not a billionaire, you've got to raise the money. you've got to do this. all the adjectives john used for what he's doing apply. it is the most exhilarating and exhausting thing of ever done. as you mention, i was out front being a columnist. this has nothing to do with me. this is great, young journalists i've hired on this project for a little over two years, and people are embracing it and supporting us. i really do believe it is the future. there are other people around the country who i've talked to say i like what you're doing. how did you start it? i say, let me tell you. and john deserves credit. i am not just saying this because i want some of his billion dollars. [laughter] the "texas tribune" is a mo

i think the nonprofit model is the future of journalism, unless you happen to run into a sheldon adelson or a jeff b bezos, if your best friend is not a billionaire. and adjectives, jon, as is the most exhaustive. and it's not nothing to do with me, it's the great journalists i've hired and doing this project for over two yeast, people are embracing it. people are supporting us and i really do believe it's the future. there are other people around the country who are starting up, who i talked to, who call me and say, i like what you're doing. how did you start it? and i say, let me tell you. and john deserves credit and i'm not just saying this because i want some of his billion dollars. the texas tribune is the model for us all. they're fantasticically successful. evan smith has been a genius what he's done with that and if every state could replicate that, i think the future of journalism would be robust. >> awesome. let's talk about your state, we know that republica as a whole, what we see them doing, partnering with local joint investigations. from your perspective is collaboration

so these funding organizations, you're talking about people like sheldon adelson or nina rosenwald, theyy are powerful, powerful actors that align themselves with a far right conservative agenda in this country. they use tax laws and philanthropic and charitable institutions in the unitede states that are really the hallmark of our civil society. they use those mechanisms to fund organizations that promote hate speech, encourage conspiracy theories and i would say lend themselves to sort of violent actions and thoughts and sort of incite that type of thinking. and thosend organizations themselves hide underneath the cover of a 501(c)(3). so what this means is that the same tax benefits that a food bank receives, sheldon adelson -- a right-wing tycoon, all right, who is funding hate speech -- and the hate actors themselves are benefiting in the same way that a food bank does. .. these were founders of american chariot. the granddaughter of one of the founders so the same fund she administers today's administration. forget about that. the main institutions have now been caught up in this. i

also joining us are two great leaders you know very well, my good friends sheldon and miriam adelson.at people. [applause] pres. trump: they like you both, sheldon. pretty good. last year was my honor to award miriam the presidential medal of freedom. that is a big deal. [applause] pres. trump: i also want to thank senator lindsey graham. where is lindsey? senator lindsey, great man, great friend. great friend of israel. [applause] pres. trump: thank you, lindsey, a man who fights all the time for israel and for everything else. another great senator, david purdue from georgia. [applause] pres. trump: senator kevin cramer -- where is kevin? kevin, thank you, kevin. he fought a battle, you wouldn't believe it. he beat somebody by 11 points that was unbeatable. that is pretty good, kevin. i said, you can do it. i said, you can do it. he won by a lot. he won by a lot, and he is a great gentleman and a big, big fan and supporter of israel, as well as a really terrific leader. he is our leader. kevin mccarthy. [applause] pres. trump: we have representatives that are outstanding. the great

thank you to trump trump and netanyahu are also heavily backed by the american casino billionaire sheldon adelson whose long opposed negotiations and once said the u.s. should drop a nuclear bomb on iran he also demanded the us pull out of the joint comprehensive plan of action which did in twenty eighteen you're on is already on the state department's list of state sponsors of terrorism and all this move is unlikely to collapse the government it would certainly add pressure to what is already the most heavily sanctioned country in the world reports say that while pompei o and national security advisor john bolton are in agreement with trump the pentagon and cia are not because they fear as the reef does that it could lead to military confrontation both the u.s. and iran have forces stationed in iraq and with both saying the other as you quote . the islamic state this designation could be a recipe for just that in washington dan cohen r t. as we go to break get to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter are full shows that are to doubt com coming up boeing's

scores with anyone who stood up to the united states so that makes him different from trump and sheldon adelson is perhaps the a key figure behind bolton and from pale but pompei as different from bolton in that he is. a christian zionist he spoke recently about the rapture and. so his his world view is different from that of alton and therefore world views are different from that of trump and that's why i think you see this different voices coming out of the united states or or the white house but i think the ultimate policy is quite similar fact i don't really see and i'm sure some may disagree but i don't really see trump as all that different from previous administrations ok thank you for the drama for me earning a center for islamic law in europe three whole league negative interpretations of us foreign policy is your interpretation as negative as other guests i did that i said i will focus basically listing an israeli lead and the role of united states in this conflict at this time in particular. but before doing so when i think there are three bin bases to clarify the american policies i

the same tax benefits that a , sheldon receives adelson, a right-wing tycoon who is funding hate speech and hate actors themselves, are benefiting in the same way a food bank does. philanthropic institutions have now been so caught up in all of this they have become victims to the islamophobia network. so put those people behind. they were founders of american charity. nina rosen volt is the granddaughter of one of the founders of sears. funded, -- it is a disgrace. forget about the ideological actors. we find mainstream institutions have been caught up in this. fidelity, schwab have institutions that are charitable vehicles. those institutions are being exploited by these big donors and funding millions of dollars into the islamophobia network. how do we challenge this? i can get into that. i will stop there. think about challenges we face and we will get into the details. thank you. matt: we will want to respond to those comments. i will ask the panel to continue to discussing islamophobia industry before we get into the response. [speaking simultaneously] >> salaam aleikum. islamopho

sheldon adelson's family died in the holocaust, after all. >> i think the president needs to make clear full for people coming to the united states for the wrong reasons. if you're ms-3, coming to break laws, yaw, we're beyond full. but i lie to think what the president said when he was talking about an increase in legal immigration. >> but that was way, way, way long time ago. we're talking months ago, scott, he's been doubling, tripling, quadrupling down, he isn't specify who or which groups he's talking about. >> well, he certainly has specified he doesn't want people coming here who are in gangs, bringing drugs. >> but that's what he's saying. he's talking about asylum seekers and there were news reports that jared kushner was looking on the legal immigration plan. i hope that's true. i think we can do both. question can keep out the people we don't want. >> governor, what are your thoughts, as scott knows, seeking a aisle limb is legal. it's legal to seek asylum it's been consistent with all international order, but the values that are embodied on the statue of liberty. sending me

we're waiting to shear whether founder chairman and ceo sheldon adelson handles the earnings call lastasn't feeling well he missed a court hearing where he had been scheduled to testify and a board meeting, and, of course, his vision and leadership have been central to the growth of las vegas sands. part of that vision is the expansion in singapore the company has recently announced a $3.3 billion pronl to add a tower to marina based sands as well as a 15,000 seat theater. the company tells me that it runs about 98% occupancy there there's a genuine need for more room, so we expect to hear more about how they're going to turn on this investment on the earnings call. what do they expect for a return here we'll be listening for that. >> we always talk about the domestic side because it's the one that we know we see the casinos and everything else in vegas kwa should we see or look for? >> there are several companies that have a lot of exposure there. las vegas sands. you have wynn, mgm, and melco and that's also traded on the nasdaq it doesn't get a lot of attention. >> the april numbers

on saturday, he gave a speech to the republican jewish coalition in mega-donor sheldon adelson's casinoson was there, here he is listening to trump. here's how old adelson is -- that's the "front" of his head. ( laughter ) now, trump explained-- true story, it's true. >> jon: oh, that's cold. >> stephen: absolutely true. trump explained why he wants to turn away desperate migrants fleeing for their lives. . can't come d c our country is full. can't come in, i'm sorry. it's very simple. ( applause ) >> stephen: again, that's the republican jewish coalition applauding turning away immigrants fleeing persecution. hashtag always forget. ( audience reacts ) now trump is saying-- ( cheers and applause ) is that the hashtag? that was the hashtag. i don't know. ( applause ) trump's saying this full thing over and over again. it's the new "lock her up" or "build the wall." you know, eventually, it's going to end up as a call and response. ♪ ♪ ( laughter ) ♪ migrants come from mexico land ♪ ♪ no, our country's full ♪ they want to form a caravan ♪ no, our country's full ♪ so why don't you go down

scores with anyone who stood up to the united states so that makes him different from trump and sheldon adelson is perhaps the a key figure behind bolton and from pale but pompei is different from bolton in that he is. a christian scientist he spoke recently about the rapture and. so his his world view is different from that of all and therefore world views are different from that of trump and that's why i think you see this different voices coming out of the united states or or the white house but i think the ultimate policy is quite similar fact i don't really see and i'm sure some may disagree but i don't really see trump as all that different from previous administrations ok thank you for that . for me earning a center for islamic law in europe three whole league negative interpretations of u.s. foreign policy is your interpretation as negative as other guests i did that i said i will focus basically on the palestinian israeli conflict and the role of united states in this conflict at this time in particular. but before doing so when i think there are three bin bases to clarify the american

the spear and that's the sport arena in partnership with msg and one final note, melissa, and sheldon adelsons not on this call and the second that he's missed and he's being troeteated for non-hodgkin's lymphoma and the treatment makes him tired and he's still involved in board and company decisions. >> contessa, thank you >> if you look at this china data and you think it is turning to the upside. >> it's definitely turning and we talked about this wynn was up 105 and we started talking about this, the fact that the chinese were throwing the kitchen sink at the economy and they were probably going to be successful in getting their asset prices back up and that's come to fruition and wynn's had a decent move and las vegas sand his a move and lvs at 19 times and a little more expensive than wynn good quarter and this was an $80 stock a few mocks anths ago, an might offset any problems you miets have in china and if you want to go basically purely u.s. and mgm is the way to play that and that hasn't run as much as las vegas and you want to go that way, as well and the whole space sets up well

should point out one of the people in the front row that have speech on saturday in las vegas was sheldon adelson one of the biggest donors on the republican side. the president, the white house wants that big check again from him in 2020, will probably get it, so all this is incredibly connected. >> yeah. it's part of the fund raising strategy. it's part of the voter turnout strategy in a couple of states that have outsized jewish voting populations, florida, maybe pennsylvania and michigan and ohio and also to boost the evangelical voters because they are decreasing in numbers as a proportion of the u.s. population but are every bit overrepresented in terms of voter turnout and intensity. the president is trying to maximize that vote. >> the problem as we talk about many different issues is that you can play the short-term political strategy but with the middle east and palestinian politics you don't know what's going to happen once you let this out of the box, and frankly you play a little bit -- with a little bit of fire even domestically because a few years ago pre-iran deal you wouldn't hav
