why are they saying, google, you have to carve chrome away from your company? gle has too much power. justice lawyers say a way to push back on the power is to have another company come in and buy chrome which is a web browser that has two thirds of the market globally for browsing the internet. and for too long the department of justice says, google has self preference to all of its products to give itself an unfair advantage. if you open a new tab on chrome and type something incoming you get google search results. if you pull out your iphone and type something into safari, you get google results. it has created a situation in which other competitors cannot rival this company because they just have it too locked down. the justice department is trying to push back against that. reporter: let's say specifically on this issue of chrome that google was forced to separate itself from that search engine. wouldn't everyone just still go to google, via every other browser out there because it is so popular? >> that is google's argument. they say the reason they have s

"one of the ways we might address that is selling it off." that straight away raises a lot of questions about not only what it means for google, but who would buy it and what it does to the market given its popularity. yeah, this is a massive business. and google is one of the biggest companies in the world. so there are very few people who could sweep in and buy what is

google without chrome. android without google apapapapapps. that's what u.s. they want to break up google's dominance. the department of justice is arguing that google has abused its power in search for over a decade and now they're recommending several steps to fix that, including selling thme w w w w web browse to another company, making it so android doesn't favor google's own products like search in g mail and keeping google for making multibillion-dollar deals with the likes of apple and samsung to make google the default search engine on phones. google says the proposal would hurt consumers. hearings on the matter start in april. microsoft is making a tiny pc t cloud. it's all in an effort to fend off cyber attacks and make the lives of it. folks easier. the computer is called windows 3.65 link and it doesn't even have a hard drive inside. it makes a secure connection to a cloud version of windows over the internet. it supports to 4 k monitors and has usb ports. you can connect things like an rnalalal keyboard and monitor the computer wakes up instantly.

the doj never brought charges against chrome or made allegations that google had improperly preferenceo search engine in chrome but now that they are looking at the remedy phase. it is coming out of left field. chrome is valuable for google as a way to encourage people to spend time on the internet ad that is clearly true. but the idea that it is valuable to other people, it does not have revenue of its own and it is not valuable if it is decoupled. i think it is unlikely and about as likely as google to sell chrome as elon musk's doge commission will make the government more efficient. caroline: that is taking us into a different avenue. we will have to get to that another time. i am interested in some of the other areas. ones that took people aback is the idea that they will be forced to license or handover the unique data the other rivals even as large as microsoft when it comes to the world of search. how technically feasible is that and how pro-competition is that sort of an outcome? adam: technical of what the justice department says there should be a technical committee with ful

here's why this is important when it comes to google and alphabet broadly. chromeis the largest internet browser in the world. 61% of traffic goes to chrome and is competing with the likes of safari and firefox but this is the main way google is able to not only detect who is searching what but also collected data and give them targeted access. that's the crux of the case. the concern is what this may do in terms of raking out google given so much of their revenue comes as a function of this platform. we will see if that comes through. right now it is just a recommendation when it comes to actually pulling back on data licensing. it is just a recommendation. but some pretty strong words coming from the vice president. take a listen to what she had to say. the doj is continuing to push a radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case. the government putting its thumb on the scale in ways that would harm consumers of it -- an american technological leadership at precisely the moment -- it is needed. being tough on tech has been a bipartisan issue f

chrome is the right answer. that could take months or years. google gives away chrome for free, but it uses a lot about what it learns about you online. if chrome becomes an independent company, you'd still use it, but google worries it wouldn't be able to stay competitive. the judge also forcing google, perhaps to stop paying companies like apple to make google the default search engine. that would be a disappointment for apple. google pays apple tens of billions a year to do that. number of paypal customers report this morning they're having trouble accessing their accounts or making online purchases with a paypal checkout. paypal says it's aware of the problem. venmo also seems to be affected. a couple of weeks ago, we were telling you about a new program at american airlines that would force passengers and say, group seven to stop trying to board with group two. american has an update for us. it's working. their new ticket scanners make a noise when someone tries to board out of turn. and american says those scanners are in use in 100 airports and

the doj forcing a sale of google chrome browser. asking a judge to impose ai and data licensing requirements on the company. google saying the proposals would harm consumers and developers. their stock is down 6/10 of 1%. annmarie: it was filed first under the trump administration, then the biden administration took it over and this is one of the most aggressive remedies we could see since two decades ago when it came to microsoft. so potentially if they are able to do this, this would be really a warning shot across the tech space. jonathan: how consistent the you think this is going to be across ministrations? -- administrations? annmarie: ftc, doj, who is going to be overseeing this? we could actually see some of these other jobs filter out. i think you have to remember, trump wants deregulation but at the same time he certainly wants competition in big tech. he made that very clear to her colleagues over the summer when he flip-flopped on his stance on tiktok. he doesn't seem to like tiktok for national security reasons, but he u

now, what the doj is asking for here is to force google to sell the chrome browser, which has about 65%f global browser market share and they're also asking for google to sell android or for the government to put in what they call behavioral remedies that would block google from using android to favor its own search services. now, finally, the doj requests that google be blocked from paying apple the billions of dollars each year that it pays now for default placement on apple devices. google reacted to all this harshly in a statement this morning, saying, "doj chose to push a radical interventionist agenda that would harm americans and america's global technology leadership. doj's wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the court's decision. it would break a range of google products, even beyond search, that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives." this fight goes into the final stages with the government making a big ask of the judge and now we're going to have to wait and see who you he responds, melissa. back over to you. >> is it in the thinking, eamon, that the j

federal regulators on wednesday asked a judge to order google to sell its chrome web browser. competitive by that same judge, and this would be the government's solution. that judge will hold more hearings into the matter to determine if that's enough, and that could take months or years. google gives away chrome for free, but uses it to learn a lot about you. if chrome does become an independent company, you'd still be able to use it, but google worries it would not be able to stay competitive. the judge may also force google to stop paying companies like apple to make google the default search engine on its phones. now, that would be a disappointment for apple. google pays apple tens of billions of dollars a year to do that. bloomberg reports the attorney general of indiana is investigating tyson foods for its use of undocumented workers at its meat packing plants. a number of industries rely heavily on immigrants, documented and undocumented, for its workforce. president elect trump has promised to sweep the undocumented out of the workplace and deport them. and a couple of

the justice department is calling for google to vest the chrome browser. doing so would create a more equal playing field for investors. google should be prevented from entering into exclusionary agreements with third parties like apple and samsung and be prohibited from giving the search preference within the products. google said it would appeal the decision. >>> wall street journal reporting boeing ceo says the aerospace giant is facing culture problems and can't afford to make another mistake. citing an exclusive recording of the all-hands meeting, the journal said ortberg cites bloated management and wasteful spending and culture of in-fighting and shrinking responsibilities. >>> and starbucks is mulling options in china which could include selling a stake in the businesses or potential strategic partnerships. china is the second biggest market for starbucks, but facing competition from local brands. >> silvana, thank you. nice to see you. >>> a lot more to come on "worldwide exchange," including the one word every investor needs to know. >>> first, th

chrome. this is a massive business. you know, google is one of the biggest companies in the world. relatively significant part of that business. people have been saying, well, maybe amazon could come in and buy this, although that comes with its own issues. they are, of course, very dominant in the e—commerce space. others have said openai might be a potential suitor, but then that has its own issues as well, because obviously they're leading the way when it comes to artificial intelligence. one of the the concerns, i think, of thejudge here was the way that google was using its own ai tools to try and build in loyalty to the browser here. i think it's unlikely that we will see a sale, although there is going to be obviously a lot of tussling over this. google have said themselves, i think, this is a radical reinterpretation of the law that goes beyond what was decreed. and i guess we have to wait and see what's going to come next. to dubai now — and what looks like a record breaking year for the world's busiest international airport. dubai international says it handled more than 6

google responsible for unfair practices? absolutely. is this the way to get them to conform? now. to would purchase chrome? to monetize. he will only have a handful of companies, and what will they do with it. do i think we should force google to be more fair how they do advertising and ask more transparency in the algorithm since their first page is all baer platforms, these are things that would move the needle for the average american. chrome is not going to do anything. my prediction is it won't go through. neil: what we are seeing, alphabet overdone today? >> google has more than chrome going for them and in many ways this is a red herring. neil: i apologize for how this was shortened but thank you. we will have more after this. t—mobile's 5g network connects a hundred thousand delta employees so they can make every customer feel like they've arrived before they've left the ground. this is how business goes further with t—mobile for business. at harbor freight, we design and test our own tools and sell them directly to you. no middleman. just quality tools you can trust at prices you'll love. whatever

justice department will ask a court to force google's parent company to sell chrome, its internet browserho use the popular search engine. >> reporter: the move against google comes after a landmark ruling in august finding the company created an illegal monopoly on search engines. that's a decision that google plans to appeal. while the department of justice declined to comment, i spoke to google, and it said, quote, the doj continues to push a radical agenda. this would harm consumers, developers and american technological leadership. chrome accounts for more than 54% of the browser market and google is its default search engine. if the tech giant is forced to sell, that innovation goes away. for chrome users the difference would be minor. instead of google being your default search engine, you have to go to google.com. for the company, this could be a substantial blow. owning the number one browser provides critical data for its advertising. further, as it becomes more integrated into search, any restrictions could prevent google's chances of being a market leader. the judge will not m

adam, what have you got to say on google and if chrome? nues at google come from ad search, right? so that's, you know, you've got toty 60% of the company? just to make the math easy, the the other 20% comes from analytics and the other 20 the % from youtube. they might be worth more apart. it's hard to say what's going to the happen, but a trump administration, i don't think, is going to break 'em up, so give it a few months. stuart: got it. bitcoin hit a new high earlier this morning. can you show me bitcoin, please? i believe you're at $97,000 a coin as we speak, and that's where we are. so they've got a czar. the white house is considering aponte pointing a bitcoin czar, a crypto czar, right in. >> yes. and if what i love about the crypto story is then it impacts all of these stocks. we're talking about micro strategies, stu, right in microstrategy is this classic feedback loop. micro strategy sells shares to buy bitcoin which makes the price go up which means the price of micro strategy goes up because they own about.5% of --. 1.5% of
