necessarily a virtue to, you know, about a vaccine programme that you fund, what do you think mark zuckerberg i'm certainly sad that in the covid pandemic sought out vaccines. and i think the online information, you know, impressed at how you navigate that boundary? and they both... you can cite examples where, ok, it's great that free and you can cite examples like the covid vaccine and even today people may not realise that. and so, i don't personally know how you draw that line, i mean, in the end, it's the government's decision. and you have a lot of different governments that are facing this problem. i wish i could tell you, you know, country x, you know, clearly has preserved free speech, but they've gotten rid of crazy, xenophobic, you know, things. and we should all benefit from that model. issues are going to be more important and more so there's you, katie, speaking with bill gates. that's his autobiography, but it only covers some of his life. notjust one, but two more. this is going to be a three—volume autobiography, days and just setting up, beginning to set up microsoft. then w

the dominant social media platform of china, elon musk who now owns ex, formerly twitter and mark zuckerberg who leads meta which includes facebook, instagram and others, both of them have said that they look to tencent and what we chat has done for technical inspiration on new product ideas. so i want to emphasize again, china has some very strong, very competitive companies and the u.s. cannot afford to take its foot off the gas even for a second if we want to maintain our technological leadership. host: however let me was asked about deepseek during his confirmation hearing last weekend as part of a u.s. competitiveness when it comes to the ai space. i want to play a little of what he had to say and get your response. >> what this showed is that our export controls not backed by tariffs are like a whack a mole model where they get prevented over here and china figures out a way around it over there. we've got to find a way to back our export controls with tariff models so that we tell china you think we are your most important trading partner, we say no, the answer is no. it is a respect

. >> we're told that mark zuckerberg, of course, the the meta chair was here on matters of artificial intelligence. we do not know if he met with the president directly. of course, there is an a.i. czar here at the white house. the president, as we know, was meeting with house republicans. unclear if he stepped out to meet with zuckerberg. but we do know that mark zuckerberg, of course, has settled a lawsuit that had been filed against meta. he, of course, was on hand at the inauguration. we saw him standing just a few feet behind the president. so the first time we believe he's been here at the white house in this new trump administration, we'll find more about that meeting and let you know, jake. >> all right. jeff zeleny at the white house for us. thank you so much. this as a federal judge delayed tonight's deadline for federal workers to accept that legally questionable resignation offer from the trump administration. joining us now is rishabh sanghvi, the general counsel for the american federation of government employees, who sued to stop trump's offer. the deadline was supposed

you know, when mark zuckerberg posted on his blog that they were going to increase capex by more than what the street was expecting, that was a surprise. i mean, that was announcing the news and the reaction was a positive one. and yet alphabet will announce the news and the reaction was a negative one. so in terms of like the pr problem that alphabet or the messaging issue, how does it fix that? because if it's as simple as that. and granted, there's still a doj investigation. i mean, there's some other things going on with the google story that that investors might not like. but when it comes to the message, how do they fix that? because that seems like a highly fixable thing. if the fundamentals are really there. >> well. >> so. >> melissa. >> you're pointing. >> out there's actually some other serious overhangs on google. so there is the doj overhang. there's still this kind of. chatgpt esque ai search to undermine. search meta ai search. you know, like there's more worries about google's position which it dominates in core search. and maybe that gets disrupted in the future. and

the best example in this country most recently is mark zuckerberg talking about the cultural turning point that the election was, and how for that reason, he is ending the fact checking program, moving that part of meta to texas and as he later said on the joe rogan podcast, creating a more masculine culture. those are all really good arguments. they are not stupid. they are not arguments made solely out of fear. they are rational, and sometimes even more problematically, they are values-based. like the sponsor ability to others -- like the responsibility to other people. what we can propose as a counter argument they don't really help. first of all, if you are not willing to sacrifice your principles and your values indefinitely, eventually you're going to run afoul of the autocracy you are helping build. one thing you concede, two things you concede. and then you will start conceding other stuff and then eventually, like the publisher who asked me to kill a piece because 325 people would be fired, you end up in exile anyway. unless you really become a building block of that autocra

is the language we now use, probably the best example again in this country most recently is mark zuckerbergtalking about the cultural turning point how the election was and for that reason he is ending the fact-checking program moving part of meta to texas and joe rogan's podcast, creating a more masculine culture and those are all really good arguments. they are not stupid. they are not -- they're not arguments made solely out of fear. they are actually rational and sometimes even more problematically values based. responsibility to other people. the only thing that we can propose as a counter argument is they don't truly help, like first of all, if you're not willing to sacrifice your principles and your values indefinitely eventually you're going run autocracy that you're helping build. you can see one thing, you can see two things, you can see the t in the lgbt and you see the lgb and the lgbt and start seeing other stuff and eventually like the publisher who asked me to kill a piece because 325 people would get fired, you end up in exile anyway and unless you really become building blo

republican governors had to sit outside in a secondary room behind the president was elon musk, mark zuckerberg jeff bezos. we got out oversight over these guys especially when they have the keys to the entire government. >> was the conversation in the democratic caucus? is a robust discussion over how to play the next couple of years, this is jared coleman who said i don't think it's effective so far. i'm frustrated. if you make everything five, then eventually nothing is devcon five. if you rush out and say this is like dictatorial or illegal, he might end up being wrong and it undermines your credibility, you think democrats risk saying this is the end of the world when at times it's not? >> i think it is time to pick and choose our battles. part of the presidents method here and strategy is to plug them with a ton of stuff. i was making canada the 50 presidents state, there's a lot of things we don't need to respond to because number one, they are not going to happen for number two, the president is doing work to make sure people think he's king and can do whatever he wants so wanting to kn

you also have google with their gemini product, and then, also , you have meta and mark zuckerberg'sk app which made waves in silicon valley weeks ago. they have sparked concern that the united states isn't even in first place nationally on a.i. you have that question of, yeah, does this bode well if two of the biggest minds in a.i. are piecing against each other. sam altman was right next to the president, and you had elon musk saying, i don't think the money even there. sam altman responded and said, look, maybe this is good for your company if you throttle our announcement here, but elon musk was calling him names. it is a very public spat between these two big names in the a.i. space. >> at some point there is going to be a calling of competitors. that is usually the case with many types of big, competitive industries. the competition is at the core of the legal case. okay, if you have this company that is trying to build itself, is it really a problem if they renege on their promises? >> very interesting. thank you. >>> president trump is hosting benjamin netanyahu at the white

course we've seen that, and we saw that with the beta that -- way that folks like jeff bezos, mark zuckerbergthers lined up in the pews to worship at the church of donald trump on inauguration day. i have a hope that corporate america can be a bull with work against extremism. -- bulwark against extremism. that is not proving to be the case. i will say that i don't think -- i think a lot of these pieces of litigation and these efforts by the trump world are very inappropriate and chilling and frightening. i don't think a we can take as much as we might want to take from from news of these settlements, because litigation is very expensive. it brings about discovery. and so, to me, i'm unhappy that abc decided to strike that settlement deal with trump. i'm unhappy that meta decided to do this. but in the case of a company like meta, it is a multibillion dollar company, and avoiding litigation by paying out $25 million, i don't like it, but we have to be clear about what conclusions we can draw from that move. howard: yeah. it is true that the mere filing of a lawsuit is very expensive, especial

meanwhile, meta ceo mark zuckerberg said 2025 would be a defining year for ai.nch president emmanuel macron has announced ■k7109 billion woh of private sector investment into ai over the coming years. speaking ahead of the ai action summit in paris, macron said europe needed to step up its ai spend in order to end its reliance on us and chinese innovation. deep six ai model could be the best work out of china, but the hype is exaggerated. that's according to google, deepmind ceo demis hassabis. hassabis is speaking at a google event in paris. he said the ai model can do extremely good engineering and changes things on a geopolitical scale, but from a technology point of view did not represent a meaningful change. while arjun is on the ground in paris, he's been at the ai summit. as things rap rap ramp up there. arjun, what a guest list at this summit. it feels as though macron is trying to put europe on the map and trying to push this view that europe can keep up with the likes of the us and china. how is he doing? >> and that's certainly a big theme here. europ

sarah, mark zuckerberg, i read today, is offering to help the white house.n musk has done this, and they're causing a tremendous amount of havoc amongst the establishment. just your thoughts on sort of silicon valley riding to the rescue. >> i don't know if they're riding to the rescue, but they're certainly there. i think, in general, silicon valley has historically kind of gone for the administration that likes them the most. we certainly saw that that during the obama era in his embrace of tech, and we saw sort of a back ped ago -- pedal aing during the biden era when you had an ftc and sec who were not happy with crypto or tech in general. and now you have trump who, you know, he has his own meme coin. he is crypto-friendly, business and growth-friendly, and you're seeing tech sort of fall in line behind that. even the elons of the world who, i have to say fact check wise, has never a started a company. he comes in later and becomes a founder. but certainly, that's a guy who has a lot of jobs, and the white house is now one of them. charles: mark andrees
