Facebook founder, mark zuckerberg, is told to just tweak the company s name a little bit. now there are reports they might really be changing it. of course, it s one of the most well known brands in the world in tech. the website the verge which focuses on technology reports zuckerberg plans to announce a new name retitling facebook next week, part of a shift to perhaps change the company s reputation while also broadening what it does beyond social media. we always want to show our work, this is from the verge. this has not been reported or confirmed by nbc. that report is based on one anonymous source, but that s not the whole story. if that were it, we might not even run with it. facebook interestingly has not denied it. in contrast to the joe manchin story we brought you. facebook only issued a cryptic quote saying we don t comment on rumor or speculation. for context, we have had other stories about other companies ....

And then all of a sudden jared gets it and we now find out from this report that john kelly and the white house counsel wrote memos saying that they were overruled by the president. they were concerned about this decision. i have to tell you something as having been a governor, i never had a staff member write a contemporaneous memo about one of my decisions. they don t do that on a whim. they just don t. they do that to cover themselves in a situation they re worried about exposure on. exactly, right. the bad part too is ivanka went on abc and said directly that her father had nothing to do with her clearance or her husband s clearance. no hedging. straight faced. right to camera. and by the way, there were two comments that are in response today. one that came from the white house where the white house said we don t comment on security clearances. since when? and second one was from abby lowell who is jared kushner s lawyer and probably still is and he said essentiall ....
