emily: you worked with a man at google who said it is basically impossible for google or facebook or . tech companies, like amazon, to succeed in china, airbnb even. do you agree? james: i tend to agree. i started at google in 2003, the first representative for the google china office. if you look at all of the companies, they have a mentality of working in the u.s. that should work in china, but the market is different. pinduoduo, they are not structure to compete with local competitors. emily: thank you. james: thank you. emily: broadcom reports earnings after the bell, forecasting first quarter revenues at $5.8 billion, up 9%. despite high hopes for the broader outlook, they face slowdowns in key markets. ed ludlow explains. ♪ ed: there is a good chance wi-fi or bluetooth in your smartphone is made by broadcom. the $105 billion company sells them to apple and samsung and apple accounts for 25% of the company's total revenue. that is why they are seen as a barometer for the health of the smartphone industry. last month their wireless business was better than expected. on the earning

do you see a better argument to breakup facebook or google or amazon or apple?ne of those four companies do you think presents the best case that serves elizabeth warren's arguments? roger: let us be clear -- this is a position. there is no guarantee we finish there. but you want to start with a position that says, we are going to do something really dramatic. we may be open to finishing somewhere else. and this is where i agree with both senator warren and senator klobuchar. i think both of these two really understand this issue. whether you break them up or not is less important to me than you prevent them from operating in ways that stall the economy. which is what we have going on. the threat of breaking them up is the way to get them to the table to have the conversation that we need to have. i want to be super clear about something. i am excited about the strides in the trump administration, particularly in the federal trade commission and the antitrust in the justice department. in my conversations with them, these are people that understand there is some

what does it mean for companies like facebook and google if this trend continues? line in anyway? well, it certainly has an effect on them. from a brand reputation standpoint, neither facebook or google want to be associated with these sorts of things. financially, we have to remember that these are two the biggest companies in the world, they are worth hundreds of billions of dollars. that is not to say advertisers have no impact, their entire business model, facebook and google, are derived from advertising. if there is a ground swell and more of this occurs, this could have an impact on their bottom line. but the reality is, there is no other platform companies can go to to reach their customers online. right now in digital advertising, not so much. google and account for 60% of the global advertising market. there are others on their way out, but that is ladies brands which impose suspensions of their advertising do come back once they see tangible evidence, in their minds, that facebook and google are making efforts to change. now, before we go, let's take a qu

google and facebook do this in advertising. amazon does this in its marketplace.ust think that should stop. i think the cross subsidies and cross sharing of data are also really, really bad. and i believe that warren's proposal is a first step down that, and i am very supportive. i recognize the people who point out that the history of tech was misinterpreted in some of the statements that came out. i really couldn't care less. and the reason i couldn't care less is because i think the issues in tech, the power situation, the dominance of the public square, the manipulative technologies that people are using, the surveillance that is now pervasive in our lives, that is just bad for society, and we should not allow that. that the new tech companies are a little bit like -- they are kind of like companies in the early 20th century, the robber barons, so standard oil and jpmorgan and all. emily: i should point out, roger there is no real break up threat , under today's laws and under antitrust precedence. so a lot of lawmakers would have to get onside. do you see a b

google and facebook have sensitive data. trust them? matt: if a tech company or any loses the trust of its consumers, people will leave it. , stopan take data out doing facebook or whatever. the part that interests me is if you think of the u.s. government, what is the trust and how can we make it work better. that came outll where the u.s. government was listed as if it were a company. it was dead last in the list. there are a lot of ways technology can make people work better. emily: we are seeing areas where technology is failing. there was a mass murderer in new zealand, video getting on facebook and being reposted. in that case they were powerless to stop their own power. what we learn? the notion of something you don't want to show off, like spam, then the notion of real-time things you don't want to show up. this idea of something going viral and people livestreaming really terrible stuff, i suspect tech companies haven't had the time to adjust to that specific model. i would not be surprised if there are engineers throughout can

emily: you talked about amazon, facebook, google, and she added apple.d apple has to break apart from the app store. either they run the platform or they plan the store and do not get to do both. it is the same notion. todd: there has got to be an interim step where maybe these proposals start gaining traction and maybe instead of a full breakup, you see a company like apple potentially getting out of some of the businesses where it is allegedly competing with app store participants. that could be an interim step. another interim step would be paying closer attention to the example, facebook, for operates and spreads information , and maybe forcing them to be a bit more transparent about who is funding a particular avertisement, who is behind particular piece of information being circulated. people have talked about treating facebook and google more like media companies. emily: senator amy klobuchar who is running for president said she wanted to see an investigation if breaking up tech companies is the best option. how are the other candidates received
