but clegg says he is now stepping down and handing the role to his deputy, joel kaplan, who is one ofompany's most prominent republican leaders. kaplan has been working on policy at meta since 2011, but he previously held several key roles, including deputy chief of staff of policy during the george w. bush administration. also moving up into kaplan's current role, vp of global policy is kevin martin, who has been with the company for a long time, but also previously served as fcc chairman under george w. bush. this, of course, all comes as meta is preparing for a second trump presidency. and as ceo mark zuckerberg has been seeking to cozy up to trump. we did see zuckerberg visit trump at mar a lago after the election. meta has said it plans to donate $1 million to trump's inaugural fund, and the company has said that zuckerberg wants an active role in policy discussions, tech policy discussions with the trump white house, the trump white house is going to have some big decisions to make around tech policy, including presumably deciding whether and how to move forward with an antitrus

now, kaplan was the white house chief of staff for former president george w bush from 2006 to 2009, and has worked with meta since 2011. the change in leadership comes as meta plans to build more relationships with president elect donald trump. employees have accused kaplan of not maintaining political neutrality and bending rules for some republican leaders. >> all right, our time is 7.48. will. the new year can be a great time for a fresh start. and if you're looking for a way to detox and recovery after the holidays, taking part in dry january may sound good to you. dry january is a challenge where people choose not to drink alcohol. the first month of the year. research from heineken beers and oxford university show members of generation z who are over the legal drinking age feel the most pressure to drink alcohol, even when they don't want to. >> they still feel a need to justify their choice of a low or no alcohol beverage, particularly when they're in social situations. >> now, researchers say herd mentality may help. 38% of men in generation z say they'd be willing to try no

[laughter] stuart: yeah, they know what's coming. thanks, lauren. come back, joe concha, please. did they only do this because trump is heading to the white house? >> that was one hell of a report by lauren, by the way. as revealing that biden, for example, was always negative if towards companies like facebook, didn't meet with ceos very often. and donald trump, they are bear hugging him as he comes in through the door, yeah

joel kaplan was a republican lobbyist for meta. he's now head of policy. yesterday they announced dana white of the ufc, long time ally of donald trump, to the board of directors of the company. what does it tell you about all that's going on here from a business perspective? >> listen, if you just look at the stock, this is a 1.5 trillion market cap company. it's been bottom left, upper right since 2012. this company will do over $150 billion in ad revenue. 96% of their total sales come from advertising. at the end of the day advertisers will have the final say on what they think they want to have their ads next to on these sorts of platforms. is he thinking about it from a political standpoint? sure. the fcc has a lawsuit trying to break up this company from a monopoly standpoint and they have a disproportionate amount of the ad sales that exist on the internet. obviously google is their biggest competitor relating to that and google is being sued by the ftc and the like. this is clearly political and i know you've been really focused on this. think abou

he is being replaced byjoel kaplan, a prominent republican.ad a fractious relationship with meta co—founder, mark zuckerberg. roger mcnamee is one of facebook�*s earliest investors and author of new york times bestseller zucked: waking up to the facebook catastophe. he explained what he believes this move could mean for meta. so i think the key thing to understand about this change is that nick clegg was brought on to solve a political problem in europe right after the cambridge analytica scandal that took place in the uk, and hisjob was to make sure that meta didn't get into any long—term trouble in europe — it clearly has not gotten into long—term trouble. european regulators are unhappy with the company, but they've not yet done anything meaningful. trump's election in the united states signals a huge change in us politics, and meta has been in conflict with trump because it banned him a number of years ago after the insurrection in washington. and kaplan, who is a long—time republican politician, is someone who i think they correctly belie

yeah. >> and kaplan did.acknowledged that it was in part because of this change in administration that they are making these changes. he said that over the last four years, the company feels like it's experienced pressure to crack down on more content, and that the trump administration offers them an opportunity to pull back a bit there. so he is acknowledging it. i will note, too, the company announced yesterday that it is adding three new board members, including ufc ceo dana white, who we know is a trump supporter. he was stumping for trump on the campaign trail. so it does feel like this broader shift at the company completely unsubtle. >> all right, clare duffy, thank you very much, sarah. >> unsubtle indeed. all right. new this morning, a son who reported his father to the fbi for being part of the capitol insurrection does not want donald trump to let his father out of prison early. his mother is pushing for her husband to get a pardon from trump. they each spoke with cnn's donie o'sullivan and reveal

he announced yesterday that he is stepping down and handing the reins to his deputy, joel kaplan, who is one of the company's most prominent republicans. kaplan has been working on policy at meta since 2011, but prior to that he held several key roles, including deputy chief of staff of policy in the george w. bush white house. they also announced that taking over for his current role, vp of global policy is kevin martin, another longtime meta exec who was formerly chairman of the fcc under bush. and we know this, of course, all comes as meta is preparing for a second trump presidency. and as ceo mark zuckerberg has sought to cozy up to trump, we saw zuckerberg visiting trump in mar-a-lago after the election, meta announced it's going to be donating $1 million to trump's inaugural fund, and zuckerberg has said that he wants to take an active role in tech policy discussions with the trump white house. and so it may have been a decision that kaplan was better positioned to navigate a republican controlled white house and congress than his predecessor clegg was. >> it may just be good bu

kaplan has been advocate for more speech from across the aisle on the platform just weeks after donald the white house. a race to attain talent may have prompted london-based businesses to offer more flexibility to staff. the results from the work from home surveyed by bloomberg intelligence shows that 89% of london-based employers are amenable to remote working, more than peers in other european cities. let's get more details with our senior analyst for real estate at bloomberg intelligence. good to have you with me around the table. one of the conclusions from the survey results, perhaps not really what we would expect by 2024. >> after the pandemic, you would've thought many more people would be coming back to the office. if you look at the number of people who get one to four days, i.e. p are hybrid, they are not fully remote, it is still around 70%. in most of european cities and in new york as well. asia is a slightly different.picture the number flips around a bit. 40% have that hybrid ability because they have more people coming back into the office. lizzy: you talk about these

dana white two others to its board uscceo a close friend of president-elect trump with additions of kaplan white plus changes to content moderations meta a signaling a shift to more expression legals censorship on its platforms. maria: that is good we like that that is good grady thank you grady trimble, mark that is all you want from reaction. mark: great i mean look the tide turned when you think of like all these big tech companies not just meta but long been some of the biggest donors, of the democrats over the course of the last several election cycles, suddenly now a lot of big tech companies colluding meta attempting to appear apolitical i think some are actually genuine about it, as well. and i think as relates to meta they are doing a good job of reading the room, when we all remember the twitter files suppress conservative voices amplify liberal voices censorship, of tweets, cancellation accounts, none has been tolerated the american people have responded you look 59 the most rent presidential election, you look at election being across the board obviously, americans and canadien

now uh, joel kaplan, i actually also appeared on fox and friends. that's a show that donald trump supposedly watches in order to explain these policy changes at match off. there is also dana white, known as a key, trump ally, and the president of the ultimate fighting championship r u. s. c. he has also been recently appointed to the board. so perhaps more than worries about a lying about metal aligning itself to the incoming leadership of the united states . i think what we're in fact seeing is evidence that that is in right what is happening. so how will this new community notes model work of the well, i think here uh we can see that marks docker bird has been inspired by the long boss. now, you know, on most golf course is the owner of. 5 x slash twitter and himself saw a key, trump surrogate. so you know, and boss has also been relying on community notes instead of fact checkers. so basically relying on the user community to fly got posts that may be potentially misleading. so was dr. burke is doing away with this fact checking up or writers and

that happened because hillary's former law partner webb hubbell calls up to the kaplan said let's makeguy feel welcome. i'm telling you you're going to a lot of people tell you the ready to take on this election but there's only one person that's going to get on stage with republicans who have consistently challenge the clintons come to get the clinton machine and lived to tell about it and that may be the most important part. when i got into office, corruption was rampant. most lopsided legislature in the entire country. i know you may think it was -- massachusetts, oregon, washington say, new jersey, new york or maybe from a domain or california but it was arkansas. more democrats to republicans than any other state in the country. 90% elected democrats to 10% republicans and about half those were suspect to be honest with you. but i knew the political machine of that state had to make people to cheer people up and spit them out. we work to stop the crushing. i opened up a toll-free 800 number to call if you want to report some fraud, waste, abuse troth that we get a dozen calls. we

the technology giant's censorship practices to serve as new head of global policy, kaplan is a long time executive and former senior advisor to president george w. bush. interesting developments here, mark. your reaction to what's going on at meta with these conservative appointments. >> we've seen an overall about face across all of tech. i mean, you look at the washington post as an example. they didn't endorse a presidential candidate, they want to hire more conservative writers, so you've seen guys like jeff bezos, you've seen mark zuckerberg, you've seen all these tech leaders go down to mar-a-lago to talk with trump. i think a lot of them probably want some of what u.k elon muskd tesla got out of the relationship with trump. the stock performed very, very well last year. i think a lot of these companies overall are realizing they can no longer just be a mouthpiece for the democrats, they actually have to run good, solid, high growth, profitable businesses and having good minds on their board is important. now, you know, the whole dana white mark zuckerberg thing, look, i think
