1:08 pm
of this has been settling in. he campaigned on a pledge of rolling back austerity measures that were agreed to before he took office. what are the scenarios looking like for him? jacob: the scenarios politically look very bad. the electoral bluff that he played is about to be called. he won't be able to and austerity and reforms and have other people pay his bills. therefore, he is going to have to face up to that reality, which is i said, i think he is going to have to go back to the greek people and asked without authority. i think you will get it because of the end of the day, 70% of the great population want to stay in the euro. whether or not he can survive is prime minister or perhaps more importantly, as leader of his party is much more open for debate. jacob, other people have been commenting and watching

1:10 pm
to do what is necessary for greece?i don't think so. i don't think other european leaders believe that either. mark: jacob, you are telling us that euro area leaders don't isl that alexis tsipras someone they can do business with? jacob: that is the sense that i'm getting. if you listen to the comments coming out of their finance ministers yesterday, at the eurogroup meeting, including the managing director of the imf who called for adults in the room -- it's very clear that there is no trust at all left between the creditor countries and this great government. betty: what do you make of the infighting you are seeing within greek officials as well? the finance minister lashing out at the central bank governor. jacob: this is, in my opinion, entirely preventable. the greek central bank governor

1:17 pm
the share is up 4% today. twitter is talking about potentially starting a thing called project lightning according to a bloomberg report. that would be more of a concerted effort to cater its products to live events. it already sort of does -- you see a gathering on twitter around live events. this would be more organized and curated as part of this project lightning. i don't know about you guys, but when there is a sporting event or the oscars or a tragedy or something in the world that people are watching, they tend to comment on twitter. with interesting, because the shootings in charleston, a lot of the networks came in for a lot of criticism because twitter was all over this and the networks were kind of second, third to respond to that. betty: julie, thank you so much. let's get a look at the top stories crossing our terminal at this hour. while we wait for the supreme court ruling on obamacare, the congressional budget office has come out with a new report on

1:20 pm
bring charges but senior management of the ftc decided not to do so. in europe, let's compare the standards. 40% is the level, 40% market share dominance in europe while he have to be as high as 80% or 90% in the u.s.. in europe, google has well over 90% market share. indeed, the market you're the google has in the eu is even higher than in the u.s.. 92.4%. for is a serious issue google, because they have used that dominance in search to send people to sites where they get a cut of sales. that's what is greatly disconcerting to the eu. betty: it is indeed. the numbers are still at large right now, but what kind of damage no matter what is is going to have on google, that only the european business but overall business? interesting toe see what they do to fight this. google has also talked about
1:21 pm
buy" button great if you were to search for new shoes , just for example. "buy" button, that would closely linked research results and purchase activity. but purchase activity is the heart of this case, which is saying that google wasn't doing the best thing for its consumers, it was doing the best thing for google by steering search results towards the places where they were going to get revenue. tying them even closer with uy" button ise a "b not something separate from these charges. but maybe part of the same thing, suggesting google is going to fight against this and really wants to pursue business practices that will drive revenue to google, customer or you be dammed. cory johnson and san francisco.

1:25 pm
how damaging would be for them? jeff: when it's time to buy a new truck, they want to spend more money, and so over the span of this decade they are talking about for this set of rules, they are estimating that it will cost -- a new truck, which $100,000, more than will be $10,000 to $12,000 more expensive. mark: give us an overall look at the economy. what does this mean for travel in interstate commerce? jeff: the truckers will have to pay more money up front for the trucks. the regulators do believe that because diesel fuel is such a basic components of the trucking business that these rules will actually pay off economically for the industry. they estimate the payback will be less than two years.
1:26 pm
there are a lot of consumer groups and environmental groups who have been really following this and pushing for this rule. that it coulds work out for consumers because if the trucking industry is saving money, those costs might be passed along to the public. betty: jeff, thank you. on that note, i will be signing off on this friday. mark: we will miss you. she sneezed during a question about 20 minutes ago. betty: you will not let that go. mark: coming up on the "bloomberg market day," more on russian president vladimir putin, increasing trade with china. that story is next. ♪

1:53 pm
>> is the super bowl, something you look forward to most. i been working on that one performance for months and months already. it pulls something like 300,000 people. remember the beatles when they played shea stadium, that was 55,000 people. this is 300,000 people over three days in las vegas. i don't know what is happening, but it's an entire city that goes to see that events. it is amazing. believe in music for magic, but the price tags for these are $400, $500. what do you say that you are making -- what do you say to people who say you were making music for the 1%? is demanding more. the shows have to be more spectacular. the led walls have to be more spectacular. the fireworks have to be impressive. the djs have to bring their own crew, everyone is stepping up their game. unfortunately, that cost money.
1:54 pm
>> what's the most money you have ever made on one big? >> is not that crazy. i think $100,000? the amount you see in several different press releases are goal -- they are all very gross amounts. dj.le expect more from a it used to be good show up with your record case and you got paid money. that's it. the djs have to step up their game. the amount that you hear sometimes in the press are gross amounts. on top of that, i just pay taxes like everybody else. i'm from the netherlands, but i pay taxes in the u.s.. to be honest, it is a lot of money. it's not as exciting as sometimes you will see in the press. i bring my own crew, and sometimes we have to get private jets not because we want to show off, but because otherwise it's not possible to make the next gig. i only get a private jets if it's necessary. otherwise i fly commercial.

1:56 pm
the idea of copyright law is that you cannot copy ability. you cannot steal a melody from somebody else. but a melody, in order to have copyright, it needs to have a certain character. i think in the blurred lines case, i want to defend for rail. i don't think he copied the melody. he copied the style of marvin gaye. willlly hope that they refer the case and that pharrell will win. if this case extends, it's really bad for business. mark: thanks so much for that. have fun this weekend. olivia: i look forward to it. i will send you an instagram video. mark: i will be in jersey. next half hour, venture capitalist funding for drone related companies. ♪
