this is cnn breaking news. hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. just gone 10:00 in los angeles, 1:00 in atlanta. >> yes, and this is newsroom

l.a. >> we're covering a special election in the u.s. state of georgia. donald trump is calling it a big win. but it has republicans nervous. jon ossoff ran strong but fell short, and will now face republican carolina handel in a run-off june 20. democrats put more than $8 million into his campaign. in a tweet to supporters he underscored the uphill battle he faced in a solidly republican district. >> there is no doubt that this is already a victory for the ages. we have defied the odds, we have shattered expectations. >> considered a referendum on the trump presidency. that's how democrats saw it. they were hoping it would be a predictor of how the midterm leakedzs might turn out.

democratic strategist and analysts good to have you all with us. for the president's part, he put that tweet out a short time ago, talking about, glad to have been of help. one would expect in the hours to come that he's going to be looking to double down on that and take the credit for how this turned out in georgia. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. and i think he's making that claim because he believes that some last-minute robocalls to voters helped tip the scales, at least in republicans' favor, until that run-off election. there's no question that if trump has been anything, it's a detriment to republicans. and i say that because price won there by 20 points. mitt romney won there by, i believe, 23 points. trump won there by 1.5 points. so he's already set up conditions in that district and

other districts where a lot of republicans who are simultaneously anti-trump, that has created a vulnerability for the republican party, it's created an opening for democrats. but again, those districts that were once staunchly republican are now divided. and the question is, can democrats do enough to win those districts, not just come close to winning those districts and therefore give themselves a distant shot of taking back the house. >> and john, has donald trump changed essentially the people who vote republican? because we're looking at a lot of democrats around the country who were trump supporters, maybe having some regret. but it appears the voters in this district weren't having much regret when it comes to donald trump? >> in the presidential election, he expanded it beyond what john mccain and mitt romney were able to produce. for the last several months, i've been looking at videos

where republican members of congress have been screamed at and yelled at by their constituents and i've been told, it's going to change, even in deep red parts of the country, look at the anger, look at the frustration. now we've had three test cases, the u.s. senate race in the state of louisiana, where the democrats got blown out, when nationally, they were writing checks and getting involved and celebrities and the whole bit. we had the congressional race in kansas, they got stuffed at the goal line. and then we had this race in georgia, where i predict they will lose when it's a republican versus democratic race. so none of that anger, none of that frustration is resulting in any electoral victories. >> but you're talking the most conservatives seats in the country. so if they lose these seats, it doesn't mean the democrats are going to lose seats next year. what will we say then? and as for the enthusiasm in

2018, it's not with the republican party. to have to run on donald trump's record is impossible at this point. so in terms of the democrats needing two dozen seats to take the house back, i think the democrats should feel really good about it. >> stand by. i want you to take a listen to jon ossoff. he spoke earlier on in georgia when he said it would go to a run-off. listen to what he had to say. >> your voices are gonna ring out across this state and across this country. we will be ready to fight on and win in june and there is no amount of dark money, super pac negative advertising that can overcome real grassroots energy like this. [ cheers and applause ] so bring it on. >> you heard jon talk about dark money, super pac money, is that a foreshadowing of how ugly this

race is going to get in the weeks ahead before they go to the polls? >> yeah, i would also note, we should note here that his own campaign was not entirely grassroots. there was quite a bit of money coming out of where you and i are sitting right now, which is here in los angeles, out of hollywood. yeah, i think what tonight's race demonstrates is that this is going to be a hard-fought battle. democrats are going to try to spin this as a victory for democrats or at least that there's momentum behind democrats and that trump is really in trouble. republicans will obviously point out rightfully so that the democrats needed a win, they needed a solid win, not a run-off win and they didn't get it tonight. so the landscape right now, the game is open for both parties, and the question is, how hard are they going to fight? what message are they going to put forward? optimism? are they going to sort of go back to, you know, attacks on the opponents? what kind of message are we

going to see from the democrats as a whole approaching the mid terms? that's really the question. >> very quickly, if you listen to the spin from both sides and these guys next to us, the republicans want to focus on the fact that the democrats made no ground here on how trump took this district during the presidential election. the democrats, though, are looking at this and say, tom price, who vacated the seat, he won it by more than 20%. so where does it stand? what's the reality here? >> well, right, i spoke with a democratic strategist just a few minutes ago, actually, and what he said basically is, if you had asked me could the democrats take back the house, several weeks ago, i would have said it was impossible. now what he's saying is, it's hard. it might be very hard, but there's an opening. there's clearly a sign here that there is frustration with trump among many republicans. there are enough races where democrats, given just a little bit more momentum, given a

little bit more enthusiasm could turn things in their favor, but it's an uphill battle, cards are stacked against them in terms of the open races, the demographics in those elections, but we'll have to wait and see. >> can i just push back a little bit? >> yeah. >> he's saying the democrats have to have a positive message. the republicans just won the house, the senate, and the presidency, with very dark messaging. the american public is not asking for an opt -- the country's not asking for an optimistic message. donald trump is uniquely unpopular in this country. his popularity rating is at about 40%. he's had no major legislation passed. the country does not like donald trump. the democratic party could run just anti-trump and be very -- [ all speak at once ] >> and yet, and yet, we're heading to a run-off. >> yeah, your guy didn't win tonight. >> and they didn't win in kansas. >> and the most conservative

districts in the country. democrats may not win those races. >> if coming close is enough for the democrats, god speed. if you want to win this thing, i think there needs to be a little bit more of a message that goes beyond anti-trump. >> i don't agree with that. >> and what happens if he does get them on board, donald trump, that is? >> glad you said that. tax reform, they said it would be done by end of july infrastructure. china, currencies manipulator, hillary clinton, nothing he's been able to do so far. >> if the democrats are going to win back the house, they need districts that look like this. i heard there was a lot of traffic going back to the district. >> they do not have to win districts that look like this. there are a lot of districts that are much closer, not that conservative. >> when we talk about donald trump being unpopular, he was in wisconsin on tuesday, and he had

some good old sort of american pie populism with his executive order of buy american, hire american. listen. >> this historic action declares that the policy of our government is to aggressively promote and use american-made goods, and to ensure that american labor is hired to do the job. it's america first. you better believe it. >> sounds good. people may look at that and shi and say that's a little hypocrite cal. >> he can't tell the difference between kim jong-un, lil' kim. he gets it wrong all the time. in terms of the buy american stuff, what people should understand, they'll do studies about buying american. they're not telling private

companies they have to buy american. that's not really true. >> and john, it's a great headline, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the president hasn't fulfilled the signature pledges. things that he said he'd do right at the beginning. those aren't done yet. >> he killed tpp, that was part of what appealed to the rust belt, ohio, michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin. >> china currency manipulator, day one. infrastructure, health care, tax reform, where is this? >> stuff we care about, he's coming through. he put gorsuch on the supreme court, he's taking bids on the wall, he killed tpp. >> taking bids on what? >> the wall. >> and who's paying for that? >> it's been a hundred days and trump can point to gorsuch on the supreme court and tpp. it's been an exhausting 90 days and for many people out there,

there's almost trump fatigue. >> when the wall goes up, the trump people are going to be happy. >> they're saying now that that wall is going to cost $75 billion. initially they said 11 or 12, now they're saying 75. mexico paying for it, not happening. donald trump was saying that it was china that's causing people to lose their jobs by deflating their currency. now he's whatever. we had chocolate cake, whatever. >> donald trump has insisted that while he sounds like he's taking a softer approach with china, he's not. listen to this. >> i didn't -- look, china came to the united states, the president, who i really developed a very good relationship with. i think he's a terrific person. he understands it's a big problem. he's working on it. now, what am i going to do? start a trade war with china in the middle of him working on a bigger problem, frankly, with north korea? so i'm dealing with china with great respect. >> what do you make of that?

he's saying, i need chaina for north korea, so i'm not calling them a currency manipulator, didn't he know that when he was on the campaign trail? >> this is a very interesting test of trump supporters and how far they're willing to go with him. in a way, matthew and john are both right. we have this fact-checking mentality in the media. look at all the promises that he made that he hasn't followed through on, and there's a litany of them. no question about that. at the same time, he has followed through on some key things, such as tpp, such as gorsuch, taking bids on the wall, et cetera. and there are a lot of people out there, including influential people in conservative media, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, who are willing to accept the president's explanation here. i can't go after china for currency manipulation because i need them for north korea. i always said i was going to bomb the expletive out of isis, so that's why i went into syria, even though many of you were not voting for an interventionist

president. these, call them excuses if you will, or arguments, they resonate with some members of trump's base. there are other members of his base who feel like they've gotten the bad end of the deal. so there's an interesting debate playing out there amongst his base and you're seeing that reflected in conservative media. >> i want to introduce a segment called, you win some and you lose some. remember this from last week, the president sabre-rattling with north korea. >> we are sending an armada, very powerful. we have submarines, very powerful, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier. >> john, the first rule of sabre-rattling is when you send an aircraft carrier to the country you want to threaten,

you should send it in the right direction. what's going on, this is nuts? >> i think lil' kim is nervous. [ laughter ] >> you've got a mad man playing with explosives over there. >> so he had a good night tonight. >> here's the problem. i don't think that the military told donald trump what they were doing. i think they just did it. and so donald trump comes out, it turns out that this armada, by the way, i thought this was the guy who wasn't going to telegraph what he was doing, is as far away from korea as we are from new york. he doesn't seem to know what's going on with his own military. >> he's the commander in chief. okay. thank you. >> we got it. >> thank you. >> thanks for the great conversation. let's take a quick break. bill o'reilly may be out of fox news after numerous sexual harassment claims. why the popular host denies any

wrongdoing. and the british prime minister looks to shore up support ahead of the brexit. we'll tell you how she plans to do that next. dale. dale! oh, hey, rob. what's with the minivan? it's not mine. i don't -- dale, honey, is your tummy still hurting, or are you feeling better to ride in the front seat? oh! is this one of your motorcycling friends? hey, chin up there, dale. lots of bikers also drive cars. in fact, you can save big if you bundle them both with progressive. i'd like that. great. whoo. you've got soft hands. he uses my moisturizer.

see you, dale. bye, rob. ril.

welcome back, everyone. the breaking news, the battle for u.s. congressional seat in georgia moves to a run-off. jon ossoff ran a strong campaign in a long-time republican district and fell short of the

majority to win the seat outright. he'll face republican karen handel in the june 20th run-off. and there's developments in the uk. the british prime minister is pulling a major reversal, calling for a snap election in june after months of denying that would happen. >> as things stand, may has a slim majority in the house of commons, but hopes to shore up support for her agenda as she negotiates britain's exit from the eu. >> every vote for conservatives will make me stronger when i negotiate with the presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors of the european union. every vote for the conservative will mean we can stick to our plan for a stronger britain, and take the right long-term decisions for a more secure future. >> the latest polls suggest the june election could go badly for the labour party. 44% said they would vote for the majority conservative party in a snap election.

only 23% said they'd vote labour. that's the lowest number in nearly eight years. dominic thomas, professor at ucla. always good to have you with us. simple question, was this the right call, by theresa may to call this election? >> isha, it's all about political gaming. she's accused of opposition of engaging in this. it's about strategy, and it's been out-maneuvering your opponents. by calling the snap election right now, let's remember of course that david cameron was elected prime minister, he hitched his future to the brexit vote. he lost that and theresa may was appointed. she has to wait until 2020 for the next elections, in which case she would go to the polls being held accountable for the brexit negotiations and whatever has happened in the uk during that two to three-year period. by doing this right now, she has an opportunity to have a mandate

that will last her all the way through 2022. she has an opportunity to massively grow the margin in the house of commons, where right now, the enemy hold 350 out of the 650. so they got a five-vote majority and she also has an opportunity to really humiliate the labour party. so rather than trying to build bridges in this divided britain, she's aiming to reduce and capitalize on the massive divisions within labour at the moment and essentially strengthen her position in parliament. >> yeah. it strengthens her hand in parliament, talk to me about what it does to her hand in europe, when it comes to the negotiating the brexit divorce. does this strengthen her position there? will she get a better deal if she has a stronger mandate from the british public? >> i think the logic is there, and the european union, i think, would respond favorably to her

having a strong mandate. what the european union would be concerned about, would be two years of a negotiation, a deal that's brought back to britain to a parliament that she does not control, and that potentially does not support the deal that she has. so as far as the european union is concerned, they would rather the uk didn't leave in the first place, but if they're going to go ahead with this and of course they are, because they've triggered article 50, they would rather work with a prime minister that has strong support and a strong mandate going into these negotiations, knowing that whatever they agree upon will make it through the parliament at the end of this in 2019. >> there are ramifications to all of this. let me ask you about what this means to the scottish accessionist impulse. does it blunt the threat? >> i think it does. i think the bigger threat for theresa may, we talked about this being a political game. she is taking a risk.

she's no friend of scotland. the scottish overwhelmingly voted to remain in the european union. so she won't be counting on them in the upcoming election. i think the other area she has to be concerned about is the potential return of the liberal democratic party that is the one pro-europe entity in britain today that could do very well in this, even in labour does not. so it's great uncertainty for the scottish as they go into this, but it's going to be very difficult for them to try and extricate themselves from these kinds of ne goshiations if she wins a strong majority in the parliament. >> thank you very much. 24 minutes past 10:00 in los angeles. we'll take a short break. up next, bill o'reilly's days at fox news might be numbered. that number could be three.

you're watching cnn newsroom live from los angeles. >> i'm john vause. our top story this hour, live coverage of this hotly contested u.s. congressional race in georgia. jon ossoff came very close to the majority he needed to claim a seat in the house. instead, he'll face karen handel in a run-off in june. cnn is there at campaign headquarters in atlanta. >> jon ossoff falling just short of the threshold he needed to win this race outright, getting less than 50% of the vote in this republican-heavy district, a district that actually no democrat has won in 37 years. getting close to that 50% number, but not close enough. now, going forward, this means that it's going to be a two-person race between him and karen handel, republican former

secretary of state from georgia, someone who's run for statewide office twice. lost both times for governor and once for senator. now she has a chance at consolidating support on the republican side that was fractured by 11 different candidates as they tried to get into this run-off with jon so t ossoff. ossoff has the support of his party, they're energized behind him. last night when he talked to voters, he said that he shattered all expectations. >> there is no doubt that this is already a victory for the ages. we have defied the odds, we have shattered expectations. >> now the question for republicans is the trump factor. how much will it weigh in during the general election? donald trump himself, tweeting several times last night, also saying that this essentially was a victory for his party and

criticizing outside money that was spent to help jon ossoff. of course there was outside money spent on the republican side as well. will he be a liability or an asset going forward? cnn, atlanta. bill o'reilly's days at fox may be coming to an end. representatives have begun negotiations over his departure after a string of sexual harassment claims, all of which o'reilly has denied. a source says an announcement is likely by the end of the week. meantime, there's petitions at fox news headquarters demanding o'reilly be fired. a woman has now claimed she was harassed at work by o'reilly for months. >> he would come by her desk when there was no one around and make sexually inappropriate comments to her and racially harassing comments. he called her hot chocolate. he would leer at her, leer at

her cleavage, at her legs, he would say, yeah, baby. he would have her get off the elevator first and then make comments about her as she got off the elevator. she found the whole thing very upsetting. >> dylan byers back with us, switching gears to this story. this happened a few hours ago, the headline in "the wall street journal," fox is preparing to cut ties with bill o'reilly. given rupert murdoch owns both the journal and fox news, is that essentially the equivalent of, want new host, must have good hr record. >> yeah, that's basically it. the first was new york magazine, very well sourced reporter there saying that the murdochs were leaning toward getting rid of o'reilly, which is a huge development, because there's been a lot of tension between rupered murd ok, the sort of father figure, not just of his sons, but his company, wanting

to stand by him, whereas the sons wanted to get rid of him. the second big development, fox and o'reilly had at least entered into a discussion about a possible exit. then this "wall street journal" report. that was the death nel. and you know that because "the wall street journal" would never go forward with a report like that unless they knew it were true and unless they knew that from the murdochs. when roger ailes left fox news about ten months ago now, the first place that was reported was -- >> would rupert have signed off on that story? >> i wouldn't suggest without knowing first hand. what i would say, it's not even about the reporter. if you are the editor of "the wall street journal," you don't run it unless you have your bases covered. >> and you mentioned new york magazine. here's part of their reporting. sources describe the murdoch family discussions as fraught. initially according to sources

lachlan was aligned with his father, but then aligned with his brother. the three are fighting, it goes on to say. rupert has told people, he does not want to fire o'reilly because it would make it appear he was forced into a decision by "the new york times." that last line, i thought was really telling. >> no question that's true. both aspects of it. rupert standing by o'reilly. one of his sons wanting to get rid of o'reilly, and lack lan somewhere in the middle. murdoch is, one, a newspaper man, and two, he's always viewed himself as an outsider. he's an outsider to "the new york times." he challenged "the new york times" with "the wall street journal" the same way he used fox news to challenge cnn. his -- the idea that he would have to capitulate, that he would have to give up his biggest asset because fox news reported on many accusations that rupert murdoch was already familiar with, i think that really rubs him the wrong way. >> we also had a protest outside

fox news headquarters. there was a petition claiming 450,000 signatures demanding o'reilly be fired. normally fox wouldn't worry about this stuff. the murdochs wouldn't. but there's a big business deal in the works. 21st century fox, they want to take over all of the pay tv provider in britain skye, and there's a morality clause which the uk regulators look at. >> that's right. it's a feather they'd like to put in their cap. it's a really big deal for them to get full ownership of skye. there are british regulators, offcomw who are going to look, back in 2011, the phone hacking scandal, they don't want to see that happen again. you talk to sources inside 21st century fox and they say, that isn't what's driving this consideration. what's driving this consideration is, are we going to tolerate sexual harassment at our workplace? no. is that what bill o'reilly did?

if so -- but the truth is, this skye deal is very much in the mix. >> what i thought was really interesting, even before the details came out, there was i tweet by matt grudge of the grudge report, conservative right-wing reporting. he said o'reilly has had a tremendous run. very few in the business get to decide when and how things end. media is most brutal. not exactly accurate, either. >> well, grudge trying to show he's in the know. and you go back to when roger ailes, the former chief executive had to leaf fox news amid his own sexual harassment allegations. things followed a similar pattern, a report from new york magazine suggesting that the murdochs were leaning one way. then you had grudge coming out and suggesting that ailes might be done approximate andnd a rep 21st century-owned paper suggesting that ailes' days were numbered. same pattern.

>> and ailes walked away with a $40 million handshake. o'reilly is significantly better paid? >> well, yes. extremely -- look, he just signed a contract again with this company. so there's no doubt that he will get a pay-out. and it's one of these things, we view moments like this, when kings of the industry are forced out of their positions as a sort of victory, you know, certainly for his accusers it's a victory and for advocacy groups, and again, this sort of archaic culture in the workplace, and yet, these men walk away with tens of millions of dollars. >> and they don't have a replacement for o'reilly. >> and this is very important. >> this is the anguish part. >> he commands the biggest audience in cable news. he brings in over $100 million in revenue annually for that company. they don't have a bench. don't underestimate how many

loyal viewers of fox news are going to be -- sorry, of bill o'reilly are going to be very upset with fox news because they grave in. >> dylan, thanks so much. quick break here. next it on newsroom l.a., u.s. authorities find an accused killer. also a california man faces hate crime charges for killing three people in less than two minutes. why police say he chose his victims at random. perfectly balanced, are our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪ is america's number-one you kmotorcycle insurer. yeah, she does purr! best bike i ever owned!

no, you're never alone, because our claims reps are available 24/7. we even cover accessories and custom parts. we diget an early start! took the kids to soccer practice. you want me to jump that cactus? all right. aah! that lady's awesome. i don't see a possum!

hello, everyone, we are bringing you continuing live coverage on the battle for u.s. congressional seat in georgia. >> it moves to a run-off in june, where jon ossoff will face karen handel. the vote is seen maybe as a predictor of midterm elections next year. >> we'll have more on that story in a moment but in other news, three people are dead after a shooting rampage in fresno, california. police are calling it a hate crime. the victims were white and apparently chosen at random. they were all gunned down in less than two minutes. >> all the shootings that occurred today were random. all three victims were

approached by him. they were unprovoked attacks. >> cory ali mohammed surrendered to police and faces four counts of murder, the fourth was from a previous incident. he posted his dislike for white people and government on social media. the man at the center of a nationwide manhunt is dead. >> steve steve nens had been on the run after a brutally gunned down a man and posted video of the murder online. >> the search for steve stephens has ended. >> reporter: the man police say killed a 74-year-old man and posted a video of it on facebook is over. >> pennsylvania state police officers received a tip that the vehicle that we were looking for, the white ford fusion was at a mcdonald's parking lot near erie, p.a. a signal from his cell phone

drew police to the east side of erie on sunday. >> we searched that area initially on sunday when we got that ping up in that area of erie, p.a. we were in the process today of doing a more thorough search of that area when this transpired. >> reporter: but it was today's tip from a mcdonald's drive-through employee that led police to stephens. the 37-year-old took off, leading police on a two-mile chase, ending when police forced him to lose control of his car. >> as the officers approached that vehicle, he took his own life. >> reporter: his death and the nationwide manhunt that started when police say he killed robert godwin easter sunday on a cleveland street. >> oh, lord, have mercy! oh, my god! >> somebody ran in front of the house is dead, been shot. >> reporter: the murder was posted to facebook. on the video, he said he's a monster who snapped and did it because he was angry with his girlfriend. godwin apparently targeted at random.

>> he was definitely a people person. there's nobody that didn't love my dad. >> reporter: his family, mourning his loss, but forgiving him. >> murderer. we want to wrap our arms around him. >> we absolutely do. we don't -- i honestly can say right now, that i hold no animosity in my heart against this man. >> reporter: another family member had a sharper tone today after his death. all i can say is that i wish he had gone down in a hail of 100 bullets. brenda heyman told cnn, court records showed he had financial troubles, declaring bankruptcy in 2015 and having wages garnished as recently as this month. he had a history of gambling at two casinos, including one at erie. the search collected more than 400 tips from as far away as texas. this is where the manhunt ended not long ago. his car was towed from the

scene, but much of the day was spent investigators going through it, combing for evidence, trying to answer questions as to what he was doing the last 48 hours, but investigators tell us that they don't believe he had any accomplices. >> it's such an awful story and the family has displayed so much dignity through it all. facebook is facing a backlash over the video that was uploaded. it's the latest incident of violent content on its site. >> bringing in internet security analyst here in los angeles. good to see you. facebook facing serious questions now about the responsibility it has, being the platform which shared the video of the murder. this is what they said on tuesday. >> building common ground, not just getting more different opinions out there, but also

helping to bring people closer together. and there's a lot to do here. we have a full road map of products to help build groups and community, help build a more informed society, help keep our communities safe. and we have a lot more to do here. we're reminded of this, this week by the tragedy in cleveland. and our hearts go out to the family and friends of robert godwin sr and we have a lot of work and we will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening. >> okay, we have a lot of work to do. what should facebook be doing right now? >> it was clear from that segment that mr. zuckerburg is out of his element on this issue. the fact of the matter is that facebook can do a lot and has been doing a lot, but i think what you're seeing is the market forces are changing, whereas facebook usually relies on users

saying, hey, there's a bad video here, check it out, or some artificial intelligence, and i think what you're starting to see not just on facebook, but in the industry overall is the need for pro-active content moderation, rather than waiting to respond. >> in the sense that obviously they're a tech company and they are effectively a media company and they haven't caught up to the responsibilities that come with that. >> that's a very good way to put it. that the technology company is turning into a media company and with that comes different types of responsibilities, from a business perspective and a user community perspective. you saw that in the fake news, that all of a sudden they were a media company, and now you're going back to this all of a sudden they're a tech company. so they're hovering the line between the two, trying to figure out where their future lies. but at the end of the day, i think the public is speaking,

you saw this clearly from all the twitter comments and other facebook comments, why didn't this come down, what's going on. >> one of the big complaints is facebook took more than two hours to remove the video. the grandson tweeted, please, please, please, stop retweeting that video and report anyone who has posted it. that is my grandfather, show some respect. >> once something is on the internet, it's everywhere. so this isn't just an issue for facebook. >> well, it is an industry-wide issue. i will say the two hours was when somebody reported it. from that moment, i believe facebook is thinking they took it down within 23 minutes, which is kudos to facebook. >> that still seems like a long time. >> but it is when you're looking at somebody who is dying on camera. what you have to do is look at this from an industry perspective. is there better moderation approaches that need to be created? looking at users, education, all of these things have to work together in a very defined,

well-oiled machine. what's going on, in this case, for example, people kept reposting. many companies know how to fingerprint a digital soundtrack. we'll take that soundtrack of that video, fingerprint it and block it. so there are technical solutions as well. >> facebook live has been at the center of a number of dark episodes recently. talk to us about the concept of facebook and the brand damage here for facebook as a whole. i know this happened on facebook live, but facebook as a whole, what they're facing here. >> what's happening, when you have live videos, for example, a sexual assault broadcast live, the public is saying, wait a minute, i would never want to see that in my physical community i live in, and more importantly from a facebook perspective, the brands are saying, wait a minute, why would i advertise on a site where my video, or my brand's logo, for example, could end up next to a video that horrifying.

and because of that and because of what happened to youtube just a couple weeks ago when more than 250 advertisers, in essence, bailed on the company, that's a message coming from not just wall street, but advertisers, which is, your future business rests on the reputation of your company, because that's what brands are going to look at. >> you can't separate the two. >> they're intertwined. >> we are ought t of time, but s have a responsibility here as well. >> yes, they do. >> thank you. stay with us. we're still watching the numbers in the hard-fought congressional election in georgia. a recap coming up. with this level of engineering...
