12:10 am
transaction so easy in the consumer that they will do a great job and complete the deal. emily: does it surprise you at all that after a surprise election that this year would be the biggest year of spending ever if indeed it is? >> there are a lot of things that do not always add up in today's political and economic environment. the economy by all evidence is doing really well. there is a lot of optimism about our individual lives even though we may seem to have a lot of pessimism about who are leaders -- who our leaders are. we are in a strange time with a lot of things that are hard to understand. let us put it that way. emily: we will talk more about that coming up. steve, thank you for stopping by. sticking with amazon, the

12:14 am
debate. did fake news on facebook sway the presidential election? mark zuckerberg initially told david kirkpatrick this. >> personally, i think that the idea that fake news on facebook -- it is a small amount of content -- influenced the election in any way, i think that is a crazy idea. emily: after a lot of backlash, zuckerberg seems to have slightly, ever so slightly, changed his tone. wethe latest post, he said take this information seriously. we do not want to be arbiters of truth ourselves. david kirkpatrick is still with me. who knew that would be the interview of the year. make of thisou
12:15 am
slight change in tone but yet still maintaining that fake news is a relatively small percentage of news on facebook? change in tone but not in opinion. i don't think he would use these i think what has happened as a result of a huge push back from all kinds of corners including the u.s. president, the lead editorial in the new york times and plenty of other places -- they are all taking this gravely seriously at facebook and they know they have to make changes. what i found impressive given are going,velopments that zuckerberg on saturday outlined a series of very specific steps that they are starting to take to start to think about how they can change
12:16 am
the way that all resumes work, the way the validation of news works. they are going to make concrete changes. emily: let us talk about those changes. stronger detection, third-party detection, raising warnings. are these changes are enough? -- are these changes and off? human they have assessments? it is not easy to answer. it is very possible given the volume of content facebook has to deal with that there is no choice but the out the results will have to do the heavy lifting. that does not mean that they will not be people and a half people. it has been reported extensively in the last week that there are thousands of people in the philippines and elsewhere that are looking at things all of the time.
12:17 am
not just news stories but posted by individuals that are also false or harmful and making quick judgments. we will see people involved. but whether they should have an editorial department and journalists getting involved -- my gut is they should have some people like that involved at the at thelevel and possibly big picture decision-making level but they will never be ableo use those people for every fake story identification. there are too many. interviewed arg facebook vice president at a conference in london. nicola mendelson. take a listen to what she had to say. >> we want to make sure that people are seeing the information that matters most to them and if they do not want to see that, they can choose to block it. i, whatake news as about a potentially bigger problem is that facebook and twitter have created an infrastructure in which we can
12:18 am
live in our own little bubble, interact and only see news from people that we like and whose views we share. is that potentially a bigger problem? >> i think it is more than potentially a bigger problem. i think most users of facebook is something -- that this is something they have experienced. i asked zuckerberg on stage economy. -- sage economy. that they need to do something a little different to put a brake on that. the problem, and i think your colleague sarah frier said some very smart things the other day on your show -- they want to do what is best for the user and that is sort of what nicola mendelson was saying as well. if they think it is affecting
12:19 am
the user experience, they will improve it because that is their bread and butter. it is probably starting to affect the user so that gives them huge incentives to take action. emily: this is not the last we will be talking about this. david kirkpatrick is staying with me. apple is closing down its router division. what will the company focus on now. this is bloomberg. ♪
12:21 am
e apple has this been handed its division that creates its router. they are focusing on other consumer products that produce the bulk of its revenue. interesting that apple is doing this because it seems to increasingly want to own the entire consumer experience. >> this is a market that has become a commodity. if you sign up for a comcast
12:22 am
connection, you will be getting a router delivered to you. it costs money to develop this stuff. and so it is not something a lot of people are going for. emily: will the resources be diverted to other things? >> probably not. but other competitors build routers into other devices. another interesting story out by our colleagues is that it turns out -- the first line -- not all of iphone 7's are created equal. in fact, some of them have different chips. but theyeated equal end up essentially equal. what is happening is that we think apple is throttling performance of chips to make sure they are in line with modem chips from intel. that: this means in theory 7'sverizon and at&t iphone
12:23 am
should perform differently but they do not. chip is better. is better than the one from at&t. emily: couldn't this upset some customers? >> not the customers themselves but it means the iphone potentially is not as fast as other handset makers who are only using qualcomm chips and not once from intel. and therefore, it is a play by apple to manage its supply chain effectively. emily: everyone is questioning the future under president-elect from and what that will be like p andesident-elect trum what it will be like. what is your take? >> three things. manufacturing costs in china are infinitely cheaper. 10 times cheaper for a manufacturing position per hour.
12:24 am
if manufacturing did come back, it would not create jobs is automation is so much better than before. hour and costs $.75 an in the u.s., $40 an hour. in the past, wringing money back -- there is no reason that is unlikely to continue. emily: investors benefit and not consumers. thank you for stopping by. the hewlett-packard brand is focused on growing its i.t. unit. my colleague scarlet fu looks into the details of the company's financial performance. hp ink reported its earnings. the businesses split into two separate companies a year ago. meg whitman leads hp enterprise. hp'ss start with a look at

12:26 am
hpe's long-term operating margin target of 7% may be driven by improved cost structure rather than a sales gains. the service segment could accelerate the timing and the magnitude of that margin expansion. this has paid off for shareholders. hewlett-packard enterprise, the orange line at the top and hp ink, the blue line are both beating the s&p 500, the white line over the past 12 months. hewlett-packard enterprises overall strategy to be a small and nimble company focused on hybrid cloud technologies. ink is the hardware company which is the legacy printer and pc business. we will be tracking both companies earnings when they are released tuesday after the closing bell. come, withl to billions of dollars on the line, delegates from the u.s. and china talk trade in washington this week. we will focus on what donald

12:34 am
not believe we should pull back given our integrated economies and global supply chains that would hurt us all. rather, the answer is to do trade right. laborure it has strong standards and environmental standards. emily: joining us now for more institute darrell west in washington. also with us from hong kong is lulu chen. and david kirkpatrick is still with us. still a lot of uncertainty regarding which campaign promises donald trump will keep but he has just released a video message where he has addressed of few of these issues including the dpp. let us take a listen to what he had to say about trade. >> entree, i will issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the transpacific partnership, if potential disaster for our country. instead, we will negotiate fair, bilateral trade deals that will
12:35 am
bring jobs and industry back onto american shores. emily: there you have it. darrell, i will start with you. what is your reaction? >> he is doing exactly what he said he would do on the campaign. this will create the norm problems for our allies in the region and it also creates a great opening for china. at the conference, china is trying to exploit this possible move by the u.s. to tell the countries in the region -- we will create a free trade zone with you. emily: we have some numbers showing just how much is at stake. the u.s. importing $480 billion worth of goods from china and exporting $150 billion worth of goods. lulu, you are on the ground with the leaders of chinese businesses. what is the reaction within china? what our business leaders saying? -- what are business leaders
12:36 am
saying? companies care a lot about donald trump's policies. counting from the top, alibaba has said essentially that if donald trump wants to create more jobs and they are assuming that is a priority, then they will need to work with chinese companies like alibaba that are investing in the u.s. and trying to acquire more products from the u.s. as chinese consumers buy them.oving to silicon valley is trying to bar immigrant workers. china is more than happy to take those workers. to create its own technology boom going forward. continuingld trump to support the promises he made on breezes and immigration. i will direct the department of labor to investigate all these
12:37 am
is that undercut the american worker. we are starting to see some potential policy intentions take shape. what do you make of this? smart global business leader once said that there is a global battle underway for influence between china and the u.s. and every country around the world is looking at the two systems, one very top-down and autocratic, one democratic and highly capitalist. and to see which one gets the best benefit for its people. i think unfortunately, a lot of donald trump's proposals do not factor in the global impact of his actions on that battle. as many have been explaining, the possibility is really great that china may gain the advantage based on some shortsighted actions we made the taking. -- we may be taking. it is interesting to hear lulu talk about how the china companies think they can
12:38 am
benefit. emily: that is interesting. actual, how likely is an trade or -- trade war? have said that china's actions have effectively amounted to an undeclared trade war. how would the -- how would this be different? >> this could be devastating. donald trump talked about imposing terrorists on goods oning -- imposing tariffs goods coming in from china. if he does that, we can guarantee were tellier's and from china. the risk is that the whole infrastructure supporting globalization is going to fall apart and it becomes a catastrophe for many different countries. emily: what companies in particular would feel the effects of this the most?
12:39 am
as i mentioned, alibaba is really focusing on expanding globally. u.s. is one of its core targets. for them to go into the u.s. in the future, they need to procure products. they are targeting u.s. consumers. donald trump policies could affect them. -- their core policies not so much but in the movie industry that could affect them. we are already starting to see a push back there. emily: a lot of folks i have spoken with say the bottom line is that donald trump is a businessman and he reckoned rises or will recognize that the relationship between china and the u.s. is very important. do you think that ultimately we will see a softening of the rhetoric and the actual policies put into place or do you believe
12:40 am
he will take as hard a line as he says he will? >> i hope there will be a softening when he realizes the negative economic consequences. it will be very difficult to bring manufacturing jobs back to the u.s. because of the cost differentials. it is much cheaper to produce those products in china. but the thing i worry about is that when you look at his initial administration appointments, he has appointed hardliners to some key positions. that suggests off the bat he is not going to soften in some of these positions. emily: closing thoughts. there is a contention that donald trump may not understand exactly how many jobs would be created if apple moved manufacturing for example of the iphone or part of it back to the u.s. techst had our bloomberg reporter say it would not actually create that many jobs because automation is that good.
12:41 am
where do you see this actually going? those were some -- some amazing statistics. a75 an hour to do manufacturing job for a robot in china. $40 an hour in the u.s. there is just no way we can bring a lot of manufacturing back without either not creating jobs were dramatically increasing consumer costs. if people want things to cost more when they go to walmart, find, bring some of those jobs back and create manufacturing jobs in the u.s. i do not really see how this is going to play out. that one of so many things i said earlier is pretty darn hard to predict right now. donald trump's rhetoric seems to be contrary to logic. emily: and still it is a rhetoric that likely won him the
12:42 am
election. thank you all. to a developing story. federal authorities are investigating an accident involving a massive experimental drone developed by facebook. the social network released a statement saying that no one was hurt during the flight test on june 28. the ntsb has not released the findings of the investigation. coming up, another multimillion dollar deal for manteca but are there more deals to come in software. we will discuss. this is bloomberg. ♪
12:45 am
deal in security software. symantec is buying the identity theft protection company capping 42 $.3 billion an especially big gear of acquisitions for a symantec which also bought -- in august for $4.6 billion. still with us, david kirkpatrick, ceo of tech economy. through almostne a complete makeover in the last year. they also sold a veritas storage system. where did this new acquisition take them? emily: symantec is addressing the+++
12:46 am
has been hard to come by. what they are trying to fix is to acquire a steady revenue stream from lifelock. it hardly addresses the problem they have in the consumer segment. the bluecoat acquisition was targeted at the enterprise segment. emily: symantec has struggled because it's security software was loaded onto pcs and then the world went mobile. how well-positioned is symantec to compete in a world where there are a lot of mobile threats? >> you are absolutely right. the security landscape has changed completely. they address a specific portion of the threat. they are not integrated platforms but for a palo alto network. i think what you will see is a lot of these point solution vendors being acquired because growth is slowing and they cannot address overall problems. for a company like symantec, they are putting the pieces together. but you do not know if the
12:47 am
product synergies are there and that is where the execution comes in. emily: it is interesting to see these first m&a deals take shape. donald trump will be in office in january. this deal they have been in works for a long time. what do you expect from m&a under donald trump? >> there are a lot of reasons to expect tech m&a to grow in the coming years. if the repatriation of overseas profits is allowed which will almost certainly happen in some form, that gives these companies more money to spend us to play. they are already buying companies overseas using that money and it makes a lot of sense to see that as a factor that will increase m&a. we are entering into a very uncertain environment. the more uncertainty, business leaders like to be a. it makes them feel safer. that might be another force militating towards more m&a and
12:48 am
i think the pace of change continues to accelerate. these big companies cannot invent everything themselves. that is another reason why they have to keep buying new tech. identity management is one of the big challenges. they did not develop it themselves, they got it from somebody else. emily: lifelock has had some different -- some interesting run-ins over false advertising. they have made bold claims protecting customers money. do you think symantec decided that bigger is safer and were willing to deal with some of these issues? >> i think the fact that they are ready have a $4 million -- a 4 million customer base, it proves that the revenue stream they are getting from lifelock is steady and it fixes their consumer segment problem that they have been trying to address.
12:49 am
it is a good idea for them to pursue this acquisition. the only problem is that they do not have the -- to pursue more deals like this. it does not leave them with much room to pursue more deals like this. emily: thank you for stopping by. david kirkpatrick is sticking with me. up next, instagram joins a live video game and joins another feature that looks like snapchat. -- the copycat teachers mart are the copycat features smart? we will discuss. this is bloomberg. ♪
12:51 am
12:52 am
it has not set a target listing date. instagram has launched a new feature,o messaging further in competition with snapchat. it allows viewers to watch only while it is streaming without the option of a replay. for more on the launch, sarah frier is in studio and david kirkpatrick is still with us. talked was about how this impacts competition between instagram and snapchat. stories,nstagram added that was basically a blatant copying of snapchat stories. wondered if they would admit that they had copied. and they did. a step beyond.it instagram has something that snapchat does not. snapchat --
12:53 am
emily: snapchat has no choice. david, what is your take? -- younginteresting people use snapchat and instagram the most so to see it outooling -- dueling is interesting. emily: why does snapchat not have live videos? -- they not something prefer to have a curated experience that is live enough. for their life stories -- -- -- the video is more curated and it still feels life. .- live david, you have some
12:54 am
interesting thoughts on a potential snapchat ipo. we know they have filed to go public. they have filed to go public earlier in their life then facebook. earlier in your life cycle you go public, the more risk investors are taking on when they buy your shares. i think there is a massive appetite on wall street to identify the next fast growth, big tech company. that is one reason why you were -- uber is getting these huge valuations. ofpchat is probably as good a guess as you can make about what the next company might be that could really grow a lot and be a massive global success. on the other hand, it is by no means proven. i think it has great management. they are doing some smart things. but there is no way you can really know what snapchat's
12:55 am
future couple of years are going to look like in my opinion. >> i think the big question around the ipo is -- is this more of a twitter or a facebook? wall street will hope it is more of a facebook. but they are the same kind of risks. is this a niche product? emily: somehow snapchat has managed to avoid the criticism that has befallen twitter and facebook in the last few weeks over potentially swing the elections and changing our social patterns and increasing the walls of our social bubbles. what do you make of that? >> they should start holding their hats until they get that criticism. if they became the kind of company that shareholders want them to become, they will by definition have to get into serving all kinds of other information including political
12:56 am
news. one way or another in a very snapchatian fashion. i confess, it is a little hard -- i want tow quickly say. i think sarah's point before was really smart. facebook has the infrastructure to be able to do this at a lower cost than a snapchat or they have already spent the money. if instagram and that chat are going head to head, the facebook big brother ownersp with infrastructure advantages could begin to become a major competitive advantage. kirkpatrick -- thank you so much for stopping by. sarah frier, always wonderful to have you. a story that is trending. ups is the latest company to tap into artificial intelligence. it is developing apps to help customers with simple requests. it may someday enable customers
