12:59Now PlayingOn Wednesday, heads of the nation’s top technology companies met with Presidentelect Donald Trump at Trump Tower. Among those attending were Apple CEO Tim Cook, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Amazon CEO Jeffrey Bezos. Wednesday’s meeting reportedly focused on jobs and the economy. But there is another issue that has been getting some attention within the tech worldDonald Trump’s proposal to build a national registry for people from Muslimmajority countries. Hundreds of tech workers have signed on to a pledge titled "Never Again," saying, "We refuse to participate in the creation of databases of identifying information for the United States government to target individuals based on race, religion, or national origin." Twitter became the first major tech company to say it would not participate in the creation of such a database. Facebook has also said it would not help Trump. For more, we speak with California Democratic Congressmember Mike Honda, whose family was placed in JapaneseAmerican internment camps during World War II. He represents California’s 17th District, where Google and Apple are based.
