does google actively prioritize google's local search results ? yes or no?>> we seek to provide users, senator, with responses to the queries that are most relevant and authoritative. >> yes or no, do you prioritize? >> no, unless our services that we put forward would be more relevant. >> does google know if its own search results are better than third party competitors? >> it would depend entirely on the different search. >> so you have all the data but you are not quantifying and prioritizing? >> there are billions of searches that get run every day. sometimes we would surface information we have. >> so yes you do prioritize and yes you do use that information. people are not dumb and they can check how search results come in. when the ftc investigated google from 2011-2013 they discovered code occurrence signals. that is google products would be trickled triggered above 10 links when the appearance of a competitor occurred in the results. does google still use any form of cooccurrence signals to suppress the competition in search results? >> senator, you

and google's own properties. second, design. google more than any company influences the design of our members' content. google's web browser, chrome, is responsible for more than 60% of the traffic on the web. therefore, publishers design their websites to work best inside of google's browser. with the increase of mobile device usage, google even developed its own code for the mobile web, which promises even better search results for the publishers who choose to adopt it furthering their grip on the web. third, data. today, personal data is collected and used to microtarget users across the web as cheaply as possible. our industry's opaque data-driven ecosystem has mostly benefited intermediaries, primarily google. at the expense of publishers and advertisers. last month for the first time we saw empirical research that demonstrated this. google's revenue concentration ties directly to its ability to collect data in ways that no one else can. it's important to understand that google owns the top five domains on

the president's chief economic advisor dependent google. i met with google ceo on a regular basis.are working for america, for military and not china. google pulled back from china in 2010 because its search engine used by the government to suspend critics. and it opened in beijing two years ago to keep a foothold in this giant market, mike. >>> mike: jennifer griffin at the pentagon thank you. peter teal -- peter thiel said anti-american. this is a broad base of google employees that are ideologically super left-wing sort of woke and think that china is better in the u.s. where the u.s. is worse than china. it looks more anti-american than anything. >> mike: here for reaction director of the center for chinese strategy at the hudson institute michael pillsbury, sir, great to have you. those churches by peter thiel got president trump's attention. take a look at this and i will ask you to react to this. >> it is a big statement when you say that you know, google is involved with china. and not a very positive way for our country. so i think we will look at that. i know the other ag

powerpoint documents from google? >> yes, i heard about that report in industry news. >> have you seen the report? >> no, i have not. >> so you didn't review the report to prepare for this hearing? >> it's been a busy day, and i have a day job which is digital well-being at google, so i'm trying to make sure i keep the trains on the tracks. >> i'm sorry this hearing is impinging on your day job. >> it's a great opportunity. i really appreciate it. >> one of the things in that report, and i recommend that people with political bias at google watch the entire report and judge for yourself. there's a video from a woman, a secret video that was recorded. jen jenai is the head of responsible innovation for google. are you familiar with ms. jenai? >> i work in user experience, and i believe that ai group is somebody we worked with on the ai principles. but it's a big company. and i don't work directly with jen. >> do you know her, or no? >> i do not know jen. >> okay. as i understand it, she has shown in the video saying, a

google denies it.urity correspondent jennifer griffin. >> president trump sided with the billing or tech who called for the fbi and cia to investigate google for working with the chinese military instead of the pentagon. >> it's a big statement when you say that, you know, google is involved with china in not a very positive way for our country. so i think will all look at that. i know that our other agencies will be looking at it. and we'll see if there's any truth to them. >> peter teal, who founded paypal, and sits on the board of facebook, provided no evidence suggesting chinese agents had infiltrated google's artificial intelligence projects. >> google is working with communist china but not with the u.s. military on its breakthrough ai technology. i think when explanation is they figure they have to because of they don't give it to them for the door it will get stolen through the back door. >> the chairman of the joint chiefs raised the issue in march. >> the work that google is doing in china is

it also finds that google is increasing the campbell within google's ecosystem. we agreed that google is no longer selling people the best products are best results. is giving the results to keep them on google product.>> thank you for the person. i am not familiar with any of the studies. we send a lot of traffic to competitors. we have aimed to connect merchants and airlines. a range of other services directly with consumers. making the experience better for consumers and advertising. >> i regret my time is expired. i would just ask you to review the studies. they do not have traffic to their websites because they google search is in favor of google's own services but keeping them inside, google's word guarded and the internet as we know it ceases to be an engine of economic opportunity. i would welcome your comments after you have an opportunity to study those. >> i have a very important question for apple. oblivious on the minds of all americans. why do you keep getting that alert for the i club. for the nine lessons on the i club. all the time it constantly

>> well, google is in a tough situation because there's a lot of people at google. from a culture that's not very nationalist china is in nationalist place. i think that google probably needs to re-evaluate what it's doing. google is not a patriotic company. not >> not a patriotic company that's kind of dangerous and alarming language to my ear. who is american enough what's unpatriotic about google? >> they come from a culture that comes from an academic culture deans from top schools are worried about this too there's a culture where people in the universities they want to be open and share with the whole world and there's nationalists in china coming and taking whatever they can learn and t e taking it back and using it for their own nationalist purposes that's not how we think about the world. when you work with china you have to be gnanationalists you have to help the government. >> joe, is there reason to believe that, for example, foreign intelligence agencies have infiltrated google? >> every one in the valley knows the chinese government is very involved th

and the core question about google, which is google search. so all human information essentially flows through this portal. if you ask google, and i have, how is it sorted? they will say by an algorithm. and the suggestion is that it's unbiased because a machine is doing it. you are saying that is not true. >> right. in fact, in my experience, as algorithms get more complicated and more advanced, that only means they have more human decisions going into them. so there is actually more opportunities for human beings to influence, you know, the final product. >> tucker: so, this is a meaningful -- this is not an academic conversation. because we've got a presidential campaign on the horizon. and, again, all american voters get the bulk of their information about everything, including candidates, on the internet and google, of course, is the portal to the internet. so, do you think that the biases you are describing will influence the outcome of the election? how could they not? >> i think it is going to. if people aren't able to think critically
