Matthews has singled out casino mogul and philanthropist Sheldon Adelson as a ringleader in the effort to install hawkish people at the highest levels of American government.

“We’re all onto it,” Matthews said.

According to Matthews, politicians sidle up to Adelson’s “whore bar” and talk about knocking off Israel’s enemies in order to get his money.

“They will say anything for that guy—because he’s a hawk—to get his money,” Matthew said.
