had checked into the wynn and had brought a window punch with him and knocked at a window at the wynn and fired down on a crowd from there. my theory is there's some things in life that separates he's just a guy one second and in the next second he's a lethal killer. it's like the bridge going across the livriver teems in london, it was a car until it took a sharp turn and became a killing machine. >> yes, sir. obviously in a perfect world we wouldn't have these conversations this afternoon. i think that your whole point is really kind of a key aspect for everybody to understand, which is that in the great scheme of things you can't really protect against everything that occurs out there. if you do, from a theoretical component, i suppose you could put a 50 foot concrete dome over every venue that exists or hotel there is, and strip search everyone coming into or out of the property. the problem is there's not a reasonableness associated with that. so for this event that took place, i think las vegas has done an exceptional job, particularly in the post 9/11 environment of taking extr

wynn, let me bring you back. because one of the things that continues to strike me about this particular drug epidemic, the war on drugs in the '80s, the war on crack specifically, in the '90s. it seems as if the attitudes then about treatment and those who should be getting treatment, how they should be getting treatment, the attitudes then, very different than the attitudes now. why is that? >> well, we have to focus on the science first and foremost. which is that the science is clear. addiction is a disease. just like heart disease, diabetes, cancer. there is a treatment available. there are millions of people in recovery because of it. but i do think it needs to be said that when this epidemic hit poor minority inner city communities, addiction was seen as a choice. and therefore if you end up incarcerated or dead, somehow you made a bad choice. and now that it's spread to wealther potentially whiter suburban rural communities, it is now seen as a disease, which it should be seen as, but we do have to recogn

steve wynn, one of the kings of las vegas. the head of two of the biggest hotels and casinos in that town. interestingly enough, wynn decide add year ago that las vegas was a soft target. when you hear the kinds of things -- we'll have an exclusive interview sunday -- that he did to try to harden the wynn hotel and to harden the encore hotel in terms of bringing in former seal teams six members, former cia officers, hidden detectors, hidden profilers in the casinos. just trying to protect his properties. but now there's a new threat, which we saw from stephen paddock, which is knocking out the windows and firing down from the 32nd floor. one of the things we'll talk to steve wynn about, how do you handle and prevent that we'll be talking to eric pratt, the executive director of gun owners of america. interestingly enough while the nra is saying maybe we should regulate and restrict the bump stocks, eric pratt says no. we'll talk to him. >> shepard: we'll watch this sunday, chris, on "fox news sunday." let's go to michael crowl

that was august of 2016 when wynn resort launched the wynn palace. more of a look and a gamble. the white line, macau gaming stocks, beating its peers. the yellow line is las vegas sands. in the second quarter of this year they got a better than expected bump in revenue because of something they opened in 2016. you might expect that people would head over to lot parisi and. finally, let's take a look at some of the losers. these are the australian casino stocks relative to its macau peers. white.eers are in these other colored lines are australian stocks, australian gambling stocks. ,n blue, you can see sky city star also down, crown also down. the reason is because we are following the money trail. down for revenue for 2016 to 2017, sky city revenue down 7% year on year, star entertainment down 4% and ground down 10%. with ground, don't forget that late last year beijing obtained one of their staff in mainland china because of promotion of gambling. they stock as well as the other stocks have been taken a beating. we will see what happens over the c

steve wynn interview with chris wallace was fascinating.umber of things he said like that, for example. ray kelly, former police commissioner of new york, seal team six. what was he seeing and what was he planning for do you believe then? >> what you are looking at is trying to identify a person prying toing in. trying to look for their actions and particular body movements, facial expressions, any behavior characteristic to give them away and try to stop them before they got inside the particular. this time it was a wynn hotel. >> bill: this goes to the profile, whether or not there are any signals or signs because the killer had been in his casino often. he said the following about that question. watch this. >> the most vanilla profile one could possibly imagine. a modest gambler at least by our standards. you know, nothing serious. paid promptly, never owed any money anywhere in las vegas. he didn't fit the profile of a problem or a compulsive cambler. >> bill: a man who behaved rationally yet he prepared over an extended period of time

. >> would you put wynn in there as a momentum stock. >> they're higher growth i will say earnings season is crucial it changed everybody's expectations of s&p. and i think that's an important part. >> i'm not saying the argument can be made -- you've seen sales growth lagging and now we're seeing expectations ratchet up for the third quarter. i look at that and say that shows you the economy is picking up steam or continuing to pick up steam >> let's take more about this rally that seemingly just won't quit and bring in brian belski one of the biggest bulls out there, getting more bullish, now believes the s&p 500 could reach 2800 by the end of the year. that is another 10%. here's the question, brian welcome, by the way. >> thanks for having us. >> out of 11 groups, only two are down this year telecom and energy of the big ones do you believe, a, energy hast turn around to get to your argument, and b, do you believe it will turn around? >> i'll do b first, because i'm polish, do we do things backyards. no, i don't think we need energy to turn around i think we just need energy to be a b

the first full quarter of wynn palace and growth of las vegas. dig deeper into the numbers, one of the reasons you see weakness in the stock performance there, the average daily rate during the third quarter for wynn macau was down, and the revenue per available room for that property was 240, a 6.6% decrease from the third quarter of 2016. so we'll keep an eye on this one, conference call starts in about ten minutes, guys. back over to you. >> yeah, because we'll certainly want to know why that macau revenue was down, regulatory, say something about china, et cetera >> las vegas sands was strong yesterday. >> who knows if it's just a little bit of a market shift stephanie, you own this, right >> i do not own -- i own mgm >> you do. >> that's more las vegas exposure we certainly don't expect las vegas numbers to be very good. after what happened. but i do think that that story is more of a restructuring one wynn is a great company, it's run very well, too it's up huge this year absolutely huge. right? up 60-some percent big, big numbers trading a

. >> steve wynn's got an antiterrorism unit inside his hotel. but talk us through these bump stocks for example. why do they exist? if i'm running a hotel, if i know that people can rig up their weapon to suddenly look like a machine gun how am i going to have my own security? >> wynn security is top of the line. special forces type personnel very visible force. i'm going to take a look at it today because i'm intrigued by it. >> even the police force, you've got guys like stephen paddock who've got weapons that are basically machine guns. >> in that world while i was commissioner of new york after the murder of two police officers, we began to equip every vehicle in the facility with ballistic helmets and vests that could stop a military style cartridge. >> different than normal vests? >> they're heavy duty. the normal vest will not stop the rounds he was firing. they would go right through it. military style ammunition. in new york because we do have our officers trained, the first two officers go in and they need to be equipped with that type

confirmed that las vegas magnet steve wynn will weigh in on the impact of this week's massacre. remember, will hotels have to make changes? what will that look like for megaresorts like wynn? check your local listings. i'm harris. here's dana. >> dana: fox news alert. a live look inside the white house as we await the press briefing with sarah sanders on a very busy day in washington. hello, everyone, this is "the daily briefing." i'm dana perino. investigators are now questioning whether las vegas shooter stephen paddock acted alone pointing to his arsenal of weapon, explosives and over 1600 rounds of ammo, saying he likely had help. we're also following new reports that paddock booked a hotel room overlooking a concert in august for a possible dry run. trace gallagher is live in las vegas with the latest. trace, how do we know all these things? >> reporter: this whole idea of him surveiling possible targets seem to be a pattern for stephen paddock. one week before he opened fire here at the mandalay bay, he rented a room in downtown las vegas overlooking another concert venue.

interesting guest, steve wynn of the wynn hotel in vegas. >> he came from philadelphia, yes.ne of the big giants of las vegas. interestingly enough, back a couple years ago he decided that las vegas was a target and soft target and he brought in some of the top national security, national home land security people and former mens of the seal team six to harden up his hotels in case someone came in and wanted to shoot the place up or try to bomb the place because he knew that would first of all be a terrible tragedy and also would destroy those hotels. people would never want to go back. we will talk to him exclusively on sunday what vegas and other places around the world because this stephen paddock the shooter was looking at other hotels in places where you could oversee a big crowd of people, tens of thousands of people at a music festival, you know, we thought of airports, we thought of various other venues as potential danger spots and new we have to think about hotels and other high rises as a place other mad men can use to rain down terror on people. >> yeah, we will s

you look at the wynn hotel. steve wynn has got his own small antiterrorism unit within the casino, same thing over at the enco encore. it is so difficult to detect something like this. thank you so much. i know we'll have you back soon because this story is puzzling, plaguing, and disturbing. former assistant fbi director ron hosko, thanks. >>> now we have to turn to renewed calls, shouts, begs of gun control in the wake of the las vegas mass shooting. what we have to see is how it will affect gun sales. gun sales has been down under president trump. that has translated to a major drop in earnings by big gun manufacturers. smith & wesson whose parent company is america outdoor brands. sales were down more than 37% in the last quarter. it also reported a $2.2 million loss versus a profit of more than $35 million in the same quarter the year before. remington, the largest manufacturer of guns, ammunition, and related products is controlled by serberus capital management. steve feinberg, a trump supporter. their sa

two fascinating interviews first one of giants of las vegas steve wynn owner of couple hotels casinosurity and he's one of the people that felt that las vegass with a soft target and had done a great deal to harden his hotels. but we'll talk to him about what needs to be done in the future and talk to chris cox executive director nra as always happens after these mass shootings lot of calls for sweeping gun control and even nra concerned about these buvrping stobz which most of us never heard of to turn semi-automatic weapons into effect automatic weapons. >> and you have a jam packed around table as well, chris, of course, imagine discussing relationship as it is or may not be between second of state and president of the united states right now. >> fascinin there's so man ci things we have never seen before donald trump was president and this is one of them and it opens slit between the president and setting of state and report that tillerson want todd quit and supposedly called trump a more on not to trump's face and after being upset with something he had done tillerson felt the ne

so from that vantage point you don't mind my sharing something casino mogul steve wynn shared with our chris wallace at his own resort. steve wynn. >> we profile or inspect or examine everybody that enters the building, and under most circumstance it is unnecessary to wand people or do any kind of invasive procedure. the things we're looking for that represent potential threats are much more, much more obvious and, and allow us a great deal of freedom in allowing us not to interfere with the normal flow of people in and out of the building which is close to 15 or 20,000 people a day. neil: how do you do that, david, on a practical basis? maybe that was upped a little bit more post the las vegas shooting last week but to sustain that? can resorts do that? can your old place, venetian, any casinos, hotels, anywhere in the country do that sort of thing where they're wanding luggage? they're scrutinizing people checking into the hotel? what do you do? >> well, right now, some of them are starting to do that. has that been done throughout the united states? no. we don't routinely check bags

i heard about steve wynn doing things and everybody around the globe. maybe that could have cameras in a lot of places, the casinos. they've got cameras focused on the blackjack and poker tables. why isn't there security throughout the rest of the hotel. why aren't the security guards, for example, wearing little cameras on their lapels in this timeline now is being disputed by mgm, but the thinking is there was a whole six minutes that went by where the call was made, or should have been placed, to additional security members at mgm and maybe they would have had a better shot at stopping this rampage. >> we don't know the details of that and we're figuring out how that works and what went down. my point of view, i'm not sure that mgm could have stopped this at the hotel, to stop what is essentially domestic terrorism. that's asking a lot. at the end of the day, how far are you willing to go in this? do you want a camera in your hotel room or watching you take a shower, watching you sleep? >> of course not, no, no, no, no, no! however, however, the do n
