I think its too late for anyone to do that, wolf. [ applause ] welcome to cbs this morning. Every Public School in the country is being drawn into the controversy over transgender rights. The Obama Administration is telling all schools to allow students to use the bathroom consistent with their gender identity. Otherwise, they could face a possible loss of federal funds. The sweeping director comes amid protests over North Carolinas new bathroom law and the administrations legal battle with the state. The North Carolina measure requires people to use the restroom corresponding with the sex on their birth certificate. Margaret brennan is at the white house with what the new guidance means for schools. Good morning. Reporter good morning. In is the letter thats going to all public School Districts in the country today. It puts them on notice. If you do not comply with the Obama Administrations interpretation of the law, you could lose federal funds under title 9. Thats the law that prohibits discrimination based on sex for all Educational Programs that receive federal funding. The letter from the departments of justice and education tells teachers they must make sure their transgender students are not discriminated against. Students must be treated consistent with the gender they identify with even if records indicate a different sex. Schools must give access to bathrooms, housing, sports facilities, and even refer to students by whatever the preferred pronoun the students ask to be called by. These rules apply even in the case where students, parents, or Community Members raise objections or concerns. [ cheers ] reporter the new directive comes amidst the administrations legal fight with North Carolina over its new law requiring people to use the bathroom corresponding with the sex on their birth certificate. This action is about a great deal more than bathrooms. Reporter president obama also voiced his support for transgender rights last month. I think its very important for us not to send signals that anybody is treated differently. Reporter and the issue has hit the campaign trail. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders have thrown their support behind transgender rights. And while former republican candidate ted cruz supported North Carolinas law donald trump argued that grown men should be allowed to go into girls restrooms. Reporter frontrunner donald trump showed his indifference. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble. I am going to take a pee in the ladies room. Reporter transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner took him up on the offer. Thank you, donald. I appreciate it. And by the way reporter weve reached out to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trumps campaigns but havent heard where they stand on this new directive. I have to say that this challenge is going to be a big one for the white house because the argument rests on some shaky legal ground. The court still have not ruled on whether federal laws prohibiting sex discrimination also apply to gender identity. So right now, president obama has spoken out saying, though, he believes that Public Opinion is changing faster on this social issue than any other. All right. Its sending quite a message today. Thank you very much. House Speaker Paul Ryan says his meeting with donald trump was encouraging. The highest ranking republican elected official is still not ready to endorse donald trump for president. Ryan gave him credit for bringing in new voter but said the two still need to find more Common Ground. Chip reid has more on trumps trip to washington. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Donald trump met with Republican Leaders from both the house and the senate. Before the meetings, there was a lot of worrying about significant policy differences between trump and conservative leaders here on the hill. After the meeting, for the most part, they were all singing a happier tune. We discussed a lot of things, important things. I thought it was really a very, very good meeting. Reporter donald trump sounded vague but hopeful thursday night after meeting with Republican Leaders. I think for the most part we agree on a lot of different items, and were getting there. Reporter the trump show charge interested washington early thursday, dashing around town, creating a circuslike atmosphere with protesters at every turn. The most closely watched meeting on trumps schedule mr. Ryan will meet with me today, and he will do what i say reporter a face to face with House Speaker ryan and reince priebus. Theres no secret that weve had our differences. We talked about those differences today. Reporter worried about the partys conservative agenda, ryan is still unwilling to endorse trump, hoping to keep some leverage over his policies. I want to make sure that we truly understand each other and that we are committed to the conservative principles that make the Republican Party, that built this country. Reporter and the division exists among ryans colleagues, as well. I think donald trump is his own man. I think hes going to come together with a policy to put forward. Were going to get behind it. Im not with him on trade. I dont think hes right on immigration. I have no idea where hes at on the minimum wage. Reporter despite the differences, there is one thing republicans can agree on now a Hillary Clinton presidency would be a disaster for this country. People understand that Hillary Clinton would be a disaster. This is not a woman that should be president. Reporter in another possible sign of republican unity, senator Lindsey Graham who once called trump a jack ass had a phone call with trump yesterday in which he said trump was very cordial. Thank you. Our Senior Adviser to mitt romney and paul ryan during the 2012 campaign joins us. Welcome. Good to be with you guys. You know them both. No one has been more out front than mitt romney it donald trump. The speech and comments that have been searing. Yes. Does paul ryan share the opinion of trump for running mate . I think paul has rervez reservations. First of all, if you look at how paul rose in politics, he basically had been engaged in the war of ideas. Hes wanted to develop an ideasbased conservative governing agenda. Hes a conviction politician. For cynics, this is hard to understand. Hes a conviction, principlebased politician. He got into it for the ideas debate. Donald trump is many things. One thing hes not committed to is ideas and policy debates, there doesnt seem to be conviction and principle. Pauls style of pliex paul is very much about getting along with people he disagrees with. Fighting respectfully. Having vigorous debates. And Donald Trumps style of politics is to ostracize, be provocative, bombastic. Thats not who paul ryan is. One followup. Is paul ryans sense of donald trump that hes a heretic to conservativism . Yes. I mean, that is basically how hes fell for some time. Paul has two primary concerns, which is why hes been reticent to endorse. He wants an open channel with trump, see if he can work with him. He has two concerns. One, hes the speaker of the house. Hes got to protect the house majority. Hes very concerned that donald trump could undermine the policy agenda of House Republicans and make it harder for House Republicans to run for reelection, a. B, hes also concerned that Donald Trumps schoolyard antics, his style of dealing with people, whether its the bullying, when its the dabbling racial and racist politics, the mocking and humiliating people with physical handicaps, he does not want to be running with someone at the top of the ticket who acts like a maniac. That could undermine House Republicans. Given that hes been fighting for ideas his whole life, ive got a list here that ive been keeping ovary issue. You and me both. Yeah. Immigration. Trump wants to send all undocumented immigrants back. Paul ryan opposes that. They differ on trade. They differ on the minimum wage. They differ on the muslim ban. Entitlements, taxes, every issue. How can paul ryan ever endorse donald trump or chair the convention . I think hes going through a difficult process. He believes, to give him his due, he believes hes a persuasive guy. When he starts to push medicare reform among House Republicans, 2009 2010, most were against it. He worked one after the other to persuade the conference to take there difficult position. He believes, give me time with donald trump, im going to educate him, im going work with him, i think i can modulate his policy commitments and his behavior. Im skeptical that it will work. But i think thats partly why hes withholding on the endorsement. He wants there to be a trial period to see if they can possibly work. If it doesnt, he has space. Dan senor, thank you very much. Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg is defending his company against accusations of political bias. He invited conservative leaders to meet about a report that it cites liberal views in trending topics. Zuckerberg writes, we have rigorous guidelines that do not permit the prioritization of one topic over another. Reporter in the post, zuckerberg said that facebook does not sensor conservative topics. His decision to personally address the controversy comes after facebook announced it was investigating claims that workers put a liberal spin on social media content. The internet has enabled all of us to access and share more ideas and information than ever before. Reporter with more than 1. 6 billion users, facebook has become a key player in the distribution of news. Ceo Mark Zuckerberg is battling claims the site doesnt play fair. I know what everyones saying and sharing and liking and not liking. Reporter at issue is a process facebook uses to decide whats trending after a report that facebook manipulates user data to weed out politically conservative news stories. The Guardian Newspaper got a copy of facebooks internal guidelines. Reporters sam fieldman. They can go in and inject new topics. They can delete topics that are duplicate or inappropriate. They can plaque can blackliss things. I think the guidelines are straightforward, and i think they try hard to maintain objectivity. Reporter republican senator john thune called for a congressional inquiry. Consumers have rights, and we want to make sure that were protecting consumers rights and that businesses arent, in fact, engaging in any deceptive practice. Reporter zuckerberg says he wants to meet with leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum to discuss how facebook can remain as open as possible. They have a history of trying to maintain good public relations, and theyre going to do it. My question would be whether or not that will affect their internal operations. I suspect it wont. Reporter after those internal documents were leaked, facebook then made the internal guidelines public. The company is really trying to emphasize in its words that while a team of editors vets the content, that whats trending is primarily generated by those computer algorithms. Thank you very much. A new blackeye for the tsa after a huge baggage mixup.

More than 3,000 missed their flights out of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport thursday due to an unprecedented server failure that crippled the tsa, preventing officers from using machines to screen the luggage. Very stressful because i hope that everything that i packed is in there after people have handchecked it. Reporter thousands of bags are being sent to surrounding airports to be screened. It could take days to get to destinations. Across the country, its growing long, slow lines at checkpoints that are frustrating flyers. At chicagos midway airport, video and pictures posted on line showed seemingly endless security lines stretching through the terminal.

Agency administrator peter neffenger. We cannot address the system to the peak volume period. Reporter he took over the tsa last july, weeks after an internal investigation revealed airport screeners failed 95 of tests to detect fake explosives and weapons. The tsa has refocused on screening and opened a new centralized Training Academy in georgia. When we criticize you today about having long lines and taking too long to screen people, next week if theres a breach, we will haul you up here and lambast you for not being more thorough. Reporter the tsa says it is back up and running in phoenix this morning. And they do have a contingency plan in place just in case. Norah . Thats good to know. Thank you very much.

Reporter parks and wise both lost limbs but not during combat. Why are the games so important in your opinion . For me, it gives me goals. Its a reason for me to get out of bed.
