the one that's very popular on twitter is called twitter moments, and it's somewhat of a social thing to be included in a twitter moment. so the more you can do storytelling around that and include young people in your twitter moments, i think the more successful you'll be with reaching high school students. status symbol to be included. >> yes, sir. >> my name is nassar and i work for the secretary of state, steve simon. minnesota is very high when it comes to voter turnout, but my challenge is that -- normally the election -- i mean voter engagement happens during the election only, and then in between, nothing happens. so we engage, engage, engage, and then we disengage for two years or whatever number of years. so our engagement drops down to probably a zero. what do you recommend us to do in between because that's where the -- i mean the minute it dies, how do we keep this momentum from a technology point of view? >> from a voter registration perspective, the thing i think about a lot is feendsing the people to register to vote when it's time. of course, elections are a great tim

twitter, i'm going to stay in. i believe they have a fundamental reason why they exist. >> what happened in twitter? >> it's ridiculous. >> beyond the s&p 500 -- >> it's crazy. look, you look at the val eyuats of this company. i know i get it wrong -- >> we all do. >> look at this company, on a revenue multiple for 2019, it's trading at two turns higher than facebook and facebook's drawing their ad revenue at roughly 28% versus twitter at i don't know, 12, 6, what have you it's totally mispriced here in my opinion if i buy one, i'd by snap for a trade. i'd avoid twitter at all costs they're not -- >> i think we would all acknowledge in tech land especially with some of these hot shot, you know, go-go stocks, you're not buying it on valuati valuation. i certainly have been wrong on that too you're not buying on valuation you're buying on actually delivering earnings in the last two quarters buying it on the sense -- >> so where's the growth >> we've seen the 5% -- >> hold on >> can you name that movie "night shift,"

right now. 80% of twitter users are coming to twitter to watch video. if you're not creating video, you should think of that. that's what people like watching. my role is actually connected to both of your roles. i work with turbo vote, our external partners, on how we can take their tools and partnerships and enhance it with twitter and i work with our product team at twitter for how do we invest, how do we improve our service so it can be best used for elections. and our primary focus right now has been around combatting misinformation by machine learning, by really investing in the right technologies and right people to build those technologies. the good iselso the people here can help us improve that service and make sure you understand. what we're doing while my colleague kevin is also here and a greatsource as well so we really want to hear from you and we want to know what we can do better. but we also want to make sure people are using twitter for positive conversation. that's the second biggest thing we've worked on for health and information q

emily: so what's next for twitter? have been hearing they have been working very hard on some product changes, so i'm expecting they are going to unveil something new in the near future. they have also been executing on this transparency center that facebook has also been hard at work on. they are really gearing up for the midterm elections. they need to make sure all the candidates are verified. they need to tamp down on content that is trying to impact and manipulate the type of conversation that is happening on the platform. as jack has been saying over and over, he wants twitter to be a happy and healthy and nice place again. emily: selina wang, thanks so much. bloomberg lp operates a mobile breaking news network on twitter called tictoc. that does it for this edition of bloomberg technology. tomorrow we will bring your reaction and analysis following tesla's annual shareholder meeting and talk to a leading tesla investor on elon musk's strategy ahead. this is bloomberg. ♪ announcer: the following is a paid adverti

twitter toop uses much. even according to republicans according to this poll, a majority say trump tweets too much. tell us what you think about the use of twitter by the president and whether it is a good thing or bad thing by him. when he was elected, he sat down with leslie stahl on 60 minutes. she asked him about twitter. [video clip] >> i am going to be very restrained if i use it at all. it is a modern form of communication. there is nothing that should be ashamed of. it is where it is at. i do believe the fact that i have such power in terms of numbers on facebook, twitter, instagram, i think it helped me win all of these races where they are spending much more money than i spent. i won. i think social media has more power than the money they spent. host: that was president trump courtesy of cbs news and 60 minutes. this new poll is available at politico.com. let's get to your phone calls. bob is joining us from wisconsin, republican line. do you agree or disagree? guest: -- caller: i disagree. firste

i've owned twitter now for a while.'m happy about what the price has done i have a feeling that some of the price you see in the market paying for twitter is the hope that they could become a target for somebody they're a big company. in a strange way, mid tech and small tech companies are benefiting from the big tech companies winning the way they hav have. >> it's now a full fledge enterprise company does that fall under that speculation of takeover? what about companies like that >> they're benefiting from the fact that the architecture need s. >> in a sense i think adobe benefits from the growth in our user technology. >> products and services that benefit from the growth and technology. >> aswath, do you think facebook should be trading at a record high as it's doing today >> i have a personal interest in facebook did you say facebook >> i did, yes. >> yeah. i have a personal interest in facebook as you know, three months ago i was here and said i was going to take a bet on facebook in a strange way i have a good p

another map reflects the behaviors of twitter users. we leverage the proclivity of twitter users that share similar media sources. we have two very different views of the needy ecosystem, one based upon riders from fox news and the new york times, the other based on the 15% of twitter users, a broader subset. they offer similar but slightly different views of media. john: can you say a little bit -- you talked about the stunting of the center-right. can you give more detail about what that looks like in your network map? has anything changed from 2016 and 2017 in the way these different media within the olitical right function? robert: sure. the center-right are people who get most of their attention from the right, but also attention from the left as well. that defines center-right. those are the "national review," "weekly standard," federalist." a lot of them were trump skeptics and ever-trumpers. you were either with trump or not. trump skeptics were not getting much attention from the left or right as a result. that has not changed

part of the reason was you could use twitter and import your twitter contacts into that, and then twitter was like, no, and shut that off. would have been interesting to see, what if twitter could not shut that off? they were gng way outside live streaming, so i think that is a great example of kind of thinking you belike, how can thinking about this to allow startups, and what is the right type of regulation? >> question right here. >> my name is jeff, i'm with the middle east research institute. my question is with regards to industry standards. there is some discussion about that. specifically, there's a global top -- global counterterrorism form all the tech companies contribute to. they've done a good job addressing this issue and setting of standards. i wonder if you think any of those successes could be appli to the issue of speech more broadly, or is terrorism just the on the pale, clearly removable and observed? >> i think there's definitely lessons that can be learned from some of those and i think you are starting to see some of those efforts starting to pop up. i know for sure

>> no, it's just soaring shares of twitter but if you missed the move, relax.e've got a way to get long for less than $2 we'll explain. >>> plus, calling all "options action" fans reach into your pocket, grab your phone, and tweet us your question @optionsaction. if it's nice, we'll answer it on air, when "options action" returns. >> logical see that's funny, i thought you traded options. i'm not really a wall street guy. what's the hesitation? eh, it just feels too complicated, you know? well sure, at first, but jj can help you with that. jj, will you break it down for this gentleman? hey, ian. you know, at td ameritrade, we can walk you through your options trades step by step until you're comfortable. i could be up for that. that's taking options trading from wall st. to main st. hey guys, wanna play some pool? eh, i'm not really a pool guy. what's the hesitation? it's just complicated. step-by-step options trading support from td ameritrade your insurance on time. tap one little bumper, and up go your rates. what good is having insurance if you get punished

before twitter i was struggling in obscurity and after twitter tens of thousands of people know that i'm struggling. [laughter] kat: it's good for that. [applause] greg: what do you -- save your jokes for the show. tyrus, okay, what about samantha bee? the amazing thing is no one expected her to be fired because it was planned and i think it was planned. the audience loved it and they all cheered when she did it. do you think it's a different. tyrus: it's different. i think -- it was recorded, edited, watch before and they were excited about it. it was a premeditated hit and when they did what they did because there was backlash not because it was writing to do that it was wrong to call someone that especially of her holding a child which i think is [bleep] that the sponsors were like no, were not good with that. it's okay, i guess, because she got -- here's where it gets weird. she got away with that because she was a woman because if i would have said that on the show and you had let it run you would've been -- and greg you would've been like, i'm sorry, tyrus, i can't talk to you

twitter who should not be. there are consequences for what rosanne did. twitter did not ban her. >> certain people had been banned for saying certain things >> then, from a civil libertarian point of view, you get the question of, do these companies have first amendment rights? >> exactly. where do you find the right line? that is something we are starting to struggle with. where do you draw the line? where do certain freedoms start and stop? there is not unlimited freedom to go into a theater and yell fire. at the same time, it goes back, democracies are messy. there has to be something that we say there is not -- there has got to be as much free speech as possible, but no more than not possible. >> right. that makes sense. >> in the spirit of transparency, we have been working on a project of social media practitioners across both sides of the aisle in conjunction with the democracy fund in the university of chicago. we have been trying to come up with principles all of us could agree to. it gets back to the

. >> john harwood pointed this out on twitter. he said today trump followed roseanne's racism few roar by pardoning a guy who said of obama you can take the boy out of the ghetto, said slave riff wasn't racist. also marked rosa parks. he said what's the big deal about moving to the back of the bus? >> yeah, i mean, the only thing that maltetters today is samant bee. i have think what samantha bee said was wrong and i think she should have apologized and she did. yet, you have the president pardoning a person like this. he's a complete conspiracy theorist. he's done the most hateful things imaginable about president obama. yet the big problem in the world is samantha bee. >> so dinesh d'souza was prosecuted by former u.s. attorney and cnn contributor who trump fired. martha stewart, prosecutor james comey. rod blagojevich sentenced to prison. is this settling scores? >> i think it's more. look, i'm not a huge believer in coincidence, certainly not in politics. my belief is the prime motivator here is -- president trump was asked ab

now it's twitter, the one stop career liquidator. all it takes is one idiotic statement and you disappear faster than a twinkie in michael moore's lap. where would i be without michael moore's lap? i'd be out of jokes. as the online world encourages mob action over forgiveness, companies need to protect themselves. twitter has become a global human resource as the population combined as a moral force to decide who stays and who goes. let's notot forget on twitter te world's bathroom wall, allen all endescriptionenscriptions perma. every company has the right to fire you over words. freedom of speech without consequences only exists against the government. this week the offenses weren't only on twitter or by roseanne. two women said bad things, one apologized and lost her job and one apologized and kept her job. that's life. but let's be clear. i accept all apologies. if you're sorry, i accept it. i say this knowing that this favor may never be returned to me. there are organizations devoted to catching me screw up. it's true. it's tr

at the same time the addition of twitter pres an incredible contrast twitter makes nothing and it is by millennials and now it is colonized for baby boomers like myself. and without it, the president might get into less trouble with the media but also wouldn't be able to connect with supporters the way he has love him or hate him, his use oz politics in the old days all of this was true for monsanto. but that is now become old school and twitter is new school when you take a step back, the assent of twitter is amazing a little less than a year ago stock was at 15 bucks. with first salesforce taking a run at it largely because of its big data possibilities now though twitter has turned into a fast growing earning story that is too big for all to swallow. advertisers wanted an alternative to facebook. so it's out with the once thought of as new gmo makers and in with social media new, the revile is bio tech media company. let's go to kevin in ohio. >> caller: booyah from cincinnati snap, and i want to have your viewpoint on how it is going in the future and what you suggest the long po

actually i'm sensing as a sense of momentum that come from ireland judy here for instance on twitter says this campaign is an over and to our brothers and sisters up north have the right to choose was so so maybe meant in the maybe some pressure there might be some infusing them but in terms of policy and political change kelly is there anything that's about to happen the would change abortion mills for northern ireland. there's a number of things so if you look at our statutes and we have the eight hundred sixty one yes i repeat the sixty one offenses against the parson act still in our stock sheets so that's before the light bulb was invented treason may take away section fifty eight fifty nine of a piece of legislation it stops women been criminalized on the stocks health care professionals been criminalized we also have a domestic violence piece of legislation that's going to westminster at the minutes and they're trying to tag on abortion legislation for northern ireland we need to decriminalize am abortion in northern ireland we need to make it free safe and they go we need to

so to make said so yummy christine i was looking at your twitter feed and . share this with the world i just woke up to this i'm awake all dreaming. unpack that thought for us but we think you just think it was surreal to see. a statement that was agreed by both trump and kim i mean this is a sixty seven year of conflict this is a seven decades war that was a brutal war that preceded by division and colonial occupation by japan so this is a real long history of of the two countries being at war being adversaries you know. a hostile relationship and you have i mean the image of them shaking hands to see the flags of the u.s. in the d.p. r. k. side by side i mean you know somebody that has been working for this peace process this is it's an extraordinary feat crissy and i'm glad that you mention the flags you weren't the only one who found that a real this is twitter who says just another photo op and although i'm not american it's so jarring to me to see the north korean flag alongside the u.s. symbolic mostly but jarring i want to just flip through a couple o

so they are incoming twitter missiles. and i'll let you know, there is no anti-ballistic missile to counteract those. in.: anotherne just came let's get your reaction. following up on paul manafort, he says paul manafort came into the campaign very late and was with us for a short time. he represented ronald reagan, bomany others. but we should have been told that comey and the boys were doing a number on him, and he would not have been hired. guest: yeah i mean, listen. i know paul well. i have a lot of respfo he says he is innocent. let's allow that process to take place in the court system. i think the reason the president brought him in, there was a discussion about him winning all of the primaries, or a majority of t primaries, but potentially getting hijacked at the convention, where the delegates were going to swap their votes. paul manafort, from the mid-20's, there was a great book about the 1980 and 1976 , he was helping ronald reagan aggregate and size of the convention delegates. so it was recommended to presid

. >> you were right twitter was up 41% since that call. >> yes >> great call on twitter >> appreciatet >> are you sticking with it now? the gain has already been made >> we had some short-term gains, but twitter is a profoundly different company than last year they figured out they are a content delivery system rather than a social media company like facebook that makes it easier to sell ads, to attract videos, deliver videos people are excited >> twitter did something this week that didn't get a lot of attention because of the way they put it out. they put it out in a tweet stream, if you read between the lines, twitter has almost acknowledged we are not a social media company. we are a news distribution, which a lot of people -- we talked about this for years, it's a wire service for the modern age >> it's a cable network with a million channels rather than just 200 >> so despite that good call, up 40%, you believe there's more gains to come? >> we have not seen the quarter they just turned profitable. they had two quarters of profitabilities. we're looking for a dollar next year bu

twitter soaring more than 18%. how are you trading twitter now?st was $5 it could still only be worth $5 but worth about $3.40 right now. it isn't quite what it was when we zboot it. we more than doubled the amount we spent on the trade. you should take this trade off and if you're inclined you can roll the strikes up and maybe up and out. it is probably a $5 call spread is the way you want to call that this is one of the situations. that's what we want to have happen it may have done it a little bit more quickly than i anticipated. >> at this point a lot of potential has been exploited in that sense i would be reducing -- >> yeah. so, you know, he designated a certain amount of people premium. from here on out i think it has been a lot more difficult. i think investors will start to think about this far company that's not growing usersreater than double digits it is not expected to be too much greater >>> up next the tweets and final call well, it's earnings season once again. >>yeah. lot of tech companies are reporting today. and, how's it looki
