(( steve on camera )) on this busy news day south bay congressman ro khanna from the 17th district spent time with us in the kron4 studios talking about a range of topics, from affordable housing and afghanistan to immigration and the new economy. when i asked him about the tone and tenor of dialogue in washington and the presidents use of twitter he had this to say. i disagree with almost everything that the president tweets but i'm not one of those people who everytime he makes a spelling error dumps on him because i think when you make a spelling mistake it shows that you are actually writing the stuff yourself, social media actually gives you the ability, to have a

real voice an authentic voice, to speak in real human terms not have a bunch of staff give you talking points and it gives an ability to people to have a bigger voice in our democracy, now you don't have to be a congressman and go to the house floor now if you have something witty to say you may have more retweets or facebook views or get more followers on instagram. steve: when we have a news story about an issue in the public that involves medical practice of any kind we may bring in an expert to observe and prove insight to what is going on, they are always careful not to characterize, i'm not treating treating this person, and yet there are many colleagues in washington, who will say, this president is crazy. well i think this president has failed to live up to his promises he campaigned on a simple idea i'm gonna bring us back, the steel workers, the coal miners, you built america i'm gonna bring you back. my question is, what has he done? where is the investment in

manufacturing, this president is cutting the manufacturing budge, where is the apprentice program, the president was on the apprentice, where are the programs to get these new jobs, where is the investment in new technology, new industry, advanced manufacturing, my sense with the president is that he is missing an opportunity, to really invest in a 21st century america and i think people want democrats to stop talking about the president and start talking about the country. what are we gonna do to have america in the 21st century. what types of things are we going to do to give people hope again in places like pennsylvania where i grew up. (( steve on camera )) congressman khanna spoke on a range of topics today live on facebook. coming up tonight at 8 and 10 he talks about what he hopes will happen during this weekend's rallies and more. and if you'd like to watch the entire interview you can enjoy it at your leisure on kron4.com.

last time a prisoner was executed was 2006. about 750 inmates are currently on death row. ( steve ) plans to overhaul california money bail system will not be happening this year. a measure passed in the state senate did not get enough support in the assembly. it would have dramatically changed pretrial release policies. a judge could decide whether to require bail while weighing the defendant's income level. supporters say it helps those who are poor... opponents argue putting money on the line ensures defendants will show up for their court date. lawmakers plan to study it again next year. let's take a look outside right now for the current right now for look outside let's take a let's take a look outside
