eric schmidt loved this kind of stuff. right?e loved getting in toronto front and he was partly the to do so chairman the founders didn't have to do. this is a product guy, he loves being up in front of the company, at the development conferences. he does not love addressing politics and certainly doesn't love sitting in front being grilled by senators. emily: kate, is google making a mistake? by not sending their top executive? >> i think they are missing an opportunity. he is an incredible communicator. part of it is that seriousness that now facebook and twitter are showing i think is well received in washington. i think it's well received by the public. remember we are part of the audience here, too. it is a missed opportunity. one of the challenges for all these companies is data has been one of their biggest assets. their algorithms are. they should also be playing a role from a shareholder point of view and perhaps making sure they're in the conversation to defend part of their assets that are so important while being resp

if you read last night, there was an article that came out because the former ceo of google, eric schmidt be one controlled by china, because you see these tech titans have essentially sold their souls to china. china is the biggest censor that there is and the persecution in china is unlike anything we've seen in modern times. only now we have an advantage as -- they have the advantage as an electronic dictator or tyrant to literally tie people up by the use of artificial intelligence where they can have facial recognition of people's faces, global positioning, so they know where everyone is, and the restrictions on freedom of speech, et cetera, and now these tech titans, the googles of the world, are helping countries like china develop social profiles on people, so that electronically each person has , their own dossier with them at all times so the electronic dictators can decide who gets access, who doesn't get access, what you get to do and what your denied. this is a brand new world we've never seen before. it's being aided and abetted by american country companies which i question

erik: some years ago, eric schmidt use the term four horsemen to describe the unrivaled power capabilities of google, facebook, apple, and amazon. should we think about alternatives the same way? meaning us -- jonathan: meaning a small number of firms? erik: a small cohort of firms with enough scale to put distance between themselves and the rest of the industry? jonathan: well, there is clearly a group of us growing more quickly who are larger, but there are also a lot of small and medium-sized players. it is not necessarily a winner takes all business. erik: but it winner takes most maybe? jonathan: maybe we are getting greater share but it is based on performance. if we deliver great returns, capital flows are way. that has been the virtuous cycle of our business. deliver great returns, investors have confidence in us, and you mentioned earlier about us emphasizing growth, right? that is an area we have not done as much in historically. we have the ability to move in that area, be it to life sciences, technology, or asia. but i do not think that pointing to a firm or group of firms that

a half a dozen of our investors, including eric schmidt, a venture captaiventure capitalise sharing perspectiveslieve the next wave of entrepreneurship is not going to happen just on the coast, it's going to happen across the country. that's critical. the big job creators in our country are the young, high growth startups. if we only back the startups on the coast -- last year, 75% of venture capital went to three states, california, new york and massachusetts. the other 47 states fight over 25%. big states lie ohio, pennsylvania, michigan, get less than 1%. we need to back the entrepreneurs there, to offset the disruption of technology that's happening on the coast that will continue to happen with a.i., robotics, they'll destroy jobs in the middle of the country if we don't back the entrepreneurs in the middle of the country. some of the challenges including on the political front are going to worsen. lot of the country is anxious and fearful of the future. they don't view innovation as a good thing. they view it as a bad thing that will potentially destroy jobs or communities. so we need to m

eric schmidt says china has so much control over censorship of its citizens the country could run its of senate judiciary committee as long as no lawyers are questioning her. brett cavanagh can't be in the room and he has to be questioned first. >> constitutional law professor at george washington university, what do you make of the last one. brett kavanaugh should be questions first. isn't that exactly backwards? >> it is. this notion of you swing, then we pitch, is a ridiculous way of doing this. she is accusing him of wrongdoing, you want to see what those allegations amounts to under oath and testimony and he has to answer for it. democrats are overplaying their hand. they have some legitimate objections, don't want her to testify at the same table as brett kavanaugh. i get that, everyone does but there comes a point when reasonable objections become efforts to manipulate and this is one of them. there is no good-faith reason -- pete: democrats may be overplaying their hand but are they also playing politics, looking at the midterm saying republicans are going to blink because the
