the wife has says today's medical check will be purely physical but the debate about trump's mental health his sure to rage on. and to discuss a little bit more about that i'm joined now from los angeles by chris faulkner a republican strategist who has worked on past national campaigns welcome to you chris thank you chris i like to begin first with what trump has reportedly said in the past twenty four hours basically questioning why the u.s. would accept more immigrants from what he calls asshole countries i mean i'm for of course paraphrasing there he used an expletive language aside why not. i think the. president would absolutely because those words again all right stupid rule and it takes away from the mid focus what's really going on here which is contrary to the immigration united states is no different than any other developed nation in that we've struggled with immigration and the flows out deal with new

numerous united states right now for the first time in probably close to twenty years we're closer than we ever have been to a comprehensive immigration reform so going to start interacting there but i just i just really want to get to the meat of what the president said and the overall message you know let's talk about the language a little bit later but why not accept more immigrants from those countries because i mean that is ultimately the message that he sent across. the choice of words much notice that. the president signs the bill the house and senate are putting together a bill that's going to allow more people to come to united states we're just trying to figure out an organized way to do that so that people who want to come to states they want to play by the rules they want to become citizens they want to do these things they can't right now the system we have in place isn't broken for a long time. chris i mean i just want to remind our viewers of this vote this is a quote that that every american really knows give me your tired your poor your

huddled masses yearning to breathe free isn't that the spirit of america i mean we all know that that comes from the statue of liberty of course and isn't that the complete opposite of what we heard the u.s. president say in the past twenty four hours. there's no doubt that that's exactly what substance search of the unit has been and it will be you know always will be the foundation of what the united states is the united states is not about which country you're from is about the opportunity that the united states represents. president's choice of words certainly regrettable i would defend those but it doesn't change the fundamental dynamic of what america is a great nation and why people try and restore a watch to get to the united states every single bit chris what the president said i mean these comments they're being taken quite seriously a lot of people saying that they have racist overtones even republicans heading back like utah lawmaker we have to mention love who is apparently the child of

haitian immigrants this is what one of the countries that the president and compass share you know haiti el salvador several african nations but what she was really talking about she has called his comments decisive divisive and asked for an apology should he give one. i think she's absolutely right and she's not the only republican spoken out about this there's a lot of us are deeply disappointed in the president's choice of words here because the senate evolves and he continued on with making the comment about norway which clearly was a reference to the fact that you just never the prime minister of norway the day before. he should absolutely clear a fight is certainly a pause or say that you said it but even today it doesn't change the court or an image of what's going on with this immigration reform the united states which is going to means far more in a careless war that was over today chris republican strategist who has worked on past national campaigns joining us from los angeles we very much appreciate your

joining us to share your views thank you. facebook has announced a major overhaul to its new suite that will prioritize posts from friends and family over and paste posts from companies or media organizations the side hopes to stop businesses from crowding out personal moments for its users facebook says companies using pages to promote content will likely see a decrease in reach video watch time and referral traffic as a result facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg said that changes should make people spend less time on facebook but that the time spent will be more valuable companies responding to a growing tide of criticism about its role in society with it as. well facebook has changed its algorithms before and added new use options but what makes

the latest announcement so different to find out i'm not joined by stephen beard from a social media desk stephen is this just another algorithm change you heard it here goes a bit more beyond user option and goes to something more fundamental about the ranking system itself so that means that friends and families are going to go higher and posts that are from organizations businesses media outlets like which of all they're going to go below so that picture from your mother with you know your cats on it her cats on it once people start reacting with that once they start liking it once or harding it once they say how is mugsy doing then that's going to shoot up to the top you're going to see that more often but is this. the behavior of a monopolist is it an abuse of market as some people have said. i think some people would maybe argue that i think obviously a lot of people actually argue a lot of businesses especially media companies would argue that what facebook has done well you can say it's monopolistic or not at a minimum it's maybe a bait and switch they've brought in

a bunch of companies by saying this is your platform this is how you reach out we're the only game in town and these media companies and other organizations saw that they really had no other options people weren't going to their websites they were going to facebook so they had to be active on facebook and now facebook in a way of saying you're not going to get the same attention so what options is that leap does that mean they have to pay now to pay more about times what does that mean for full media companies and full for other businesses that rely on facebook by now we're not just businesses but think about organizations think about charities you know organizations that need that outreach but obviously businesses to have l. would be among i don't see this you know we depend on facebook as well as other social networks to reach out and to to form a core audience it's a very important part of our work here we have products that are geared completely towards social media and facebook in particular one of them of course is dress code which you're familiar with as your series on men style that's very popular for us that's one of our biggest products the question now is and what we're starting to

look at is what happens address what happens to the other products we make exclusively for online and for facebook how do we get them to still get the same attention and draw in the audience that we feel that we need for news so what can we for example keep doing to keep viewers. that's a good question and i think that's the question that looms large we can't post pictures of your grandmothers or your mother's cats and get people to really sort of interact in the same way what we can do is hopefully hope that by through their interaction with us if they're going to comment with us if they're going to like if they're going to heart if they're going to really sort of you know go back and forth with us a little bit that it's going to shoot higher up the interaction lots of likes lots of comments means that the content will still appear on the user's feeds and what works. roberta said from the beginning is he wants less passive interaction he wants people he doesn't want to hear that he was going to scroll past so they're going to and interact with your material they should shoot to the top another option of course is that there should be user setting that allows people to see

more options more post from organizations news organizations like what you felt were businesses even is this is a shrewd move zuckerberg just saying he wants to make the world a better place wants to make facebook a better place more for families and all that all the other hand forcing companies to spend more money to promote their content i mean should we be surprised this is this is what this is tech one point zero right this is what they do this is straight out of the book you you talk about changing the world we want to make a killing doing it and so the language here is very much we have to make the world a better place but how are we still going to make all of our money and so they spoke still has a huge captive audience it's not giving up that captive audience these are numbers have gone down a bit there is reason to you know maybe be a little concerned especially with this conversation that you referenced in terms of is it good for people is social media good for people separate is saying the right things now we want it to be good for people but he still wants that captive audience facebook is developing its own video offerings sort of like netflix it has

plans for that audience not all be about make you facebook and the world a better place even busy social media to thank you very much for this insight going to the new bitcoin craze has achieved popular cultural status japan's virtual currency goals performed the first concert in tokyo today each member of.
