i went to unlv i witnessed that and experienced that.he left feeds us as well conservatives and republicans are bigoted, cold-hearted and racist. they want nothing to do with this party or world view. that's because the liberals have controlled the narrative. >> all right. so you believe that the younger generation when they get to college are kind of brainwashed. i don't know why they would accept that though. you know, look, when i went to college, it was vietnam era. there were a lot of lefties there. they were trying to brain wash we just say hey, look, at least i did. i'm going to think for myself. finally you go on with this guy trevae von. daily show. took over for jon stewart. i was a guest on stuart's program a number of occasions. you know that noah is going to try to mock you and his audience is there to support him. does that bother you at all? >> no. because someone has to have the guts to do it. i knew walking in that i was going to be walking in to a crowd of people that wero boo m. >> i didn't think you came off bad. i th

we had catholic charities, we had the university, unlv, we had other institutions of higher education, we had the latin chamber, we had the mexican and the salvadoran consulate, all gathered around the table, because we don't know how to answer those questions. and we wanted to be sure we were all on the same page, giving people the same advice and reassuring them that whatever happens, we will be there for them. and that helps a little. but still, you want to be able to say, this is what you are facing. and i know i'm not the only one getting these calls. they are coming from kitchens and living rooms and restaurants and stores and families all across this country. as you have heard from some of the other speakers here tonight. and for our dreamers and their families, this fear and anxiety will continue to grow. and i'm afraid they're just going to return to the shadows, if we don't act soon to responsibly reform our immigration system. now, as yet we've heard very little from the trump transition team, but -- about what's actually going to happen to the dreamers once president obama

you recently had an incident where an instructor at unlv here put out on facebook that he was ready toin any students that he believed were undocumented to immigrant authorities. that created a huge firestorm here. both universities here had their presidents send out letters to the campus, trying to calm fears. before that even happened, he has since apologized, said it was a joke, but of course, who makes that kind of joke on facebook? you've had press conferences, you've had letters all written. there's an uproar here. you know, the hispanic population here, as you well know, chris, is burgeoning. it's more than a quarter of the population now. trump was destroyed in the hispanic vote here. and so, this is a real issue. there's a lot of fear in this community about what's going to happen with deportation. >> thank you, very much. john ralston from las vegas, merry christmas to you, sir. and that does it for this hour, but stay tuned for "hardball," which is coming up now. we've got a full hour of politics, especially this bizarre jamboree of prospects for secretary of state, a list t

as we stirve torward become a sanctuary campus we cant continue to allow them to hold positions at unlv. yesterday students and faculty held a press conference with immigration activists calling on the university's president to discipline buch and make u-n-l-v a sanctuary school. buch told the school's newspaper he is extremely sorry on a positive note-- the numbers are in -- and the final presidential debate between donald trump and hillary clinton was a huge financial success for u-n-l-v and our city. the debate generated nearly 1- hundred 14 million dollars in publicity. that's more than double what was originaly projected. officials say hosting the debate confirmed las vegas' reputation as more than just a tourist destination -- but also as a serious place to do business. good morning las vegas is live every weekday with all of your news... join us-- four-30 to seven.. more local news headlines are coming up on action news live at midday. i'm dayna roselli and here's a ? ? ? jon batiste has mastered new ways to play old classics. with chase atms, he can master new ways to deposit ch

this is a provision that will be especially valuable to unlv's brand new medical school which is hosting its inaugural class this fall. unfortunately, however, the bill fails to address a major priority of both the v.a. and veterans themselves. and that's reforming the broken appeals process. right now there are 470,000 appeals languishing somewhere in the v.a. system. veterans have to wait two to three years for them to be resolved as these cases churn through the process that congress hasn't updated since the 1980's. if we don't act now, we'll soon be telling our veteran constituents that they are going to have to wait 10 years before their appeals can be resolved and it will be the fault of this congress. despite having a solution that's ready to go, that is wisely supported by the administration and the v.s.o.'s, the republican leadership refuses to bring the bill i sponsored on appeals reform to the floor without tying it to an accountability bill that strips the v.a. employees of necessary civil rights protections. we are told that passing an appeals reform without accountability j
