and biden has said very negative things about zuckerberg. so i think facebook, meta as it's now called, could potentially be in a bad spot if harris were to win the election. but i think they're just trying to figure out how to navigate this difficult world, and if trump wins, i think there's a chance that facebook could have good relations with a trump administration. if harris wins, i think they're betting that there's very little chance they'd have good relations. so i think that might be what's going on. >> any other questions? we have one in the middle. >> thanks for the discussion, by the way. how has the resurgence of socialism ads an ideology at all played into this? we see the rise of figures like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. are the c.e.o.'s concerned about that? does that affect their relationship, or do they focus march narrowly on their own individual concerns for the companies they represent? >> well, i'm pretty sure the c.e.o.'s don't like it. that's a safe bet. but the way i describe it is that if you're a c.e.o., you

zuckerberg but it's very, very difficult. execute yeah, it's harder for zuckerberg to do the barely a democrat than it is for for dimon and. in fact, zuckerberg's employees don't want him to be barely a democrat. they want him be a full democrat. you also go into the hunter biden laptop story, which i have enjoyed ignoring as completely as i can for since it popped up. but you documents pretty bad behavior among some of the progressive staff at several social media and trying to downplay that story. i think that might have created a little bit of a streisand effect where it actually once people caught on to what they were doing, that actually amplified the story completely against what they're going for. and it ties into something we've had see i've been talking about in antitrust cases related to the republican ones that are more grievance oriented, something i call the dozen keystrokes argument where if you want to type in ny post dot com it's 11 keystrokes and then you can read about biden's laptop all you want. so the soc

thank you. >> meantime, meta's ceo mark zuckerberg visiting the white house. role in trying to help the trump administration with america's international tech leadership. it's unclear whether zuckerberg met with president trump himself, who spent much of yesterday meeting with republican lawmakers on his legislative priorities. meantime, meta we should mention on a 14 day winning streak. and you can look at that stock at $714. >> it's never done that before. i think yesterday it was shooting for 13 for the first time ever. two days ago it was 13 was the first time it's ever gone 13 days in a row. now, this is the first time that they've ever seen this many. >> in a row. >> yeah. >> all right. it is just a few minutes remaining until that january employment report. we're going to get you prepped and ready with our jobs panel. squawk box will be back in just 30s. >> machine learning is. >> advancing. >> but businesses. >> wonder if some machines. >> can keep up. >> let's welcome. >> our. >> new coworker, jeff. >> copier has a. >> great idea. >> i wonder if it's

everyone talks how fabulous they are and mark zuckerberg when asked a question about ok with your a.i. program and what are your employees going to do and his response was oh, they can now all go crazy. and listening to bloomberg news two nights ago about an elon on live with the world economic summit, i think. it was shocking to me how he was telling people basically that smart people need to have more children and dumb people and his concept of who is smart and who is dumb and how ai will be 90% of the intelligence they will rely on. so, wake up, folks. host: jan in minneapolis, democratic caller. caller: good morning. i hear people are pretty upset and i understand why. i think that it is pretty interesting to be a company of laws suddenly we are through longer following constitutional law. the impoundments act was instituted after president nixon's problems. now funds are being spent that have been appropriated by the congress to be used for specific programs that were negotiated last year, those funds are being clawed back to cut. they were intended for specific purposes. if ther

"i mean, look at zuckerberg's hair. it's got a lot of bounce.mpooing at least three, four times a day. they wouldn't let bezos shower. that's why his hair is gone. [ laughter ] beautiful locks, guy used to look like fabio. so sad." and trump is falling through on his desire to profit off the presidency. one of his first acts as president was rescinding government ethics rules set in place by joe biden among the flurry of executive orders he signed. >> president trump also rescinding 78 of president biden's executive actions from his past four years in office. the president rescinding executive orders taken by biden, including prohibitions against sex discrimination in federal agencies, cuts to drug prices for people on medicaid, an order that required executive branch appointees to sign an ethics pledge. >> seth: that's right. biden required executive branch employees to sign an ethics pledge, and trump repealed that. under trump, government employees are no longer required to abide by ethics rules or wear sleeves. can we -- [ laughter ] -- get

. >> up zuckerberg. >> from 65 to go. >> to. >> 75 billion. >> but, you. >> know, from the side. >> of actually in this. >> stock for, nothing changed. so from our side this is getting a little bit cheaper. it's already been a relatively cheap stock compared to its other universe. we like this name. we're not we're not trading. >> a share. >> right now. >> scott, what would you add on that. >> well earnings. >> are always important. >> but guidance in these ai. >> names has. >> become just absolutely critical. >> because let's pay. let's face. >> it. >> if you're paying for. >> growth. >> you don't really care what google did last quarter. you're all consumed with how they're going to change the world in the. >> coming quarter. >> and the problem for both google and amd. is that. guidance was disappointing for amd. it seems that nobody. >> is spending. >> money, at least on data centers. so a stock. >> that was already down. >> 17%, down another 7%. today, google. >> has a very different problem. >> guidance was also bad, but again, 75 billion versus expectations of about 60 billion. t

is it because of zuckerberg? he's become all whatever. >> you mean politically?yes i don't know. >> yeah, i mean that it's entirely possible that that has some retail traders enthusiastic about the future. ai is certainly part of that. the futuristic robots. i would not discount that, because i think if you look at the possibility that ai is going to vastly improve healthcare insurance, driving all these other things, if you add human physical capacity onto that, the possibility that our friends in ai could actually change the world as we know it becomes even. >> more, how do i know that you're not a robot right now? how do i know that you're real? this could be ex machina. ex machina. however you want to pronounce the. this could be. are you real? >> no, i very real. here's my question to you. because you follow these things very closely and you're very enthusiastic over this run is meta the new nvidia. >> yes. which was the new tesla. so by the way, folks, we were supposed to have tim seymour on this. he is going to be joining us soon. it's not just us talking,

mark zuckerberg announced plans to trim the company's workforce by some 5%, which is more than 3,000 people. according to a report by bloomberg, as akron bird says that the layoffs are targeting low performers and those who just aren't meeting expectations over the course of the year. layoff notices for us based employees started going out today. well, workers and other countries are going to be informed at a later date. >> but a change to change. president trump is directing the treasury department to stop making new pennies because of the rising cost too. do so. the u.s. mint says it cost a little more than $0.3 to make one penny. this move comes after elon musk announced last month too. and penny production in an effort to decrease federal spending. it's still unclear if the treasury will follow through with the order as congress is usually in charge of changes with currency. still ahead, a california dog wins the coveted. >> lombarky trophy. de bois samuel the win at this year's puppy bowl. the boat. >> welcome back. the news never stops here. kron 4. so let's check in with dan t

. >> we facetimed with doctor chris caldwell, the chief of emergency medicine at zuckerberg san franciscoeneral hospital. >> they all deserve bonuses. they really work hard for what they're doing, and they love what they're doing. every single one of them is an angel. so yeah. >> that that is so fantastic here. and i can't tell you how much i appreciate your taking the time to say that. we don't often get to hear back from experiences like yours. and i will tell you, that's why we do this. >> in san francisco. luz pena, abc seven news. >> what a story and what a survivor. well, coming up, here's another live look at the conditions outside right now. after the break, we'll check back in with abc seven news meteorologist sandhya with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire r

you know, when mark zuckerberg posted on his blog that they were going to increase capex by more than what the street was expecting, that was a surprise. i mean, that was announcing the news and the reaction was a positive one. and yet alphabet will announce the news and the reaction was a negative one. so in terms of like the pr problem that alphabet or the messaging issue, how does it fix that? because if it's as simple as that. and granted, there's still a doj investigation. i mean, there's some other things going on with the google story that that investors might not like. but when it comes to the message, how do they fix that? because that seems like a highly fixable thing. if the fundamentals are really there. >> well. >> so. >> melissa. >> you're pointing. >> out there's actually some other serious overhangs on google. so there is the doj overhang. there's still this kind of. chatgpt esque ai search to undermine. search meta ai search. you know, like there's more worries about google's position which it dominates in core search. and maybe that gets disrupted in the future. and

i think zuckerberg does a great job of giving you examples that show you just how they've been able to deploy ai to boost the power of ad campaigns, to make the site more engaging to users. so, you know, people have said, look, we see how it's helped your business model. i mean, who would have said three years ago that that that meta would be doing 20 to 30% revenue growth, but that's what they've done the last year. and then very much that's because of their ai. they get a green light. and the stock is still what 2425 times earnings i think for an asset like this that can get you probably sustainable 25% earnings growth i think that's very reasonable. >> all right jason we got to get through amazon. we got to get through nvidia. but that's a couple of weeks away. your biggest takeaway then thus far from the mega-caps that have reported is what. >> it's absolutely been a mixed bag scott. obviously we've seen deceleration in all the cloud businesses right? whether it's google and azure. but i always when i think about amazon, which is the biggest tanker of all of them, owning 30% of mar

administration, what marcus vanderburg admits happened, phone calls from the administration -- mark zuckerberghis or else. that's not concerning? but somebody doing something, finding these things, which everybody should agree nobody wants tax dollars wasted. now you are mad? >> greg: they are mad is somebody's doing this, i thought democracy hides in the darkness? >> it's better to hide inconvenient information than to have inconvenient information be shown. [laughter] [applause] >> greg: as a proud member of a barbershop quartet -- he is! you think i'm kidding but it's true. going to his name on a youtube, but do not type and beastiality. what advice would you give these poor souls, they are hopeless. >> they have to come up with better chance, i don't even like the classic a chance, we are here, we are queer could get used to it. was supposed to convince me? that's a quality you want to stress, not we are good at decorating? [laughter] convince me! >> what's the other one? [laughter] that's not good, is very specific thing. went to he wanted to, now! that is not selling me on it. try that a

we know mark zuckerberg writing hike on his share price has gone to the white house to discuss ai leadership>> ai has been one of the themes of the trump administration and the president rescinded the biden executive order that sought to put more guardrails on the industry. he has signed his own order looking to launch for the industry. we saw the announcement in the oval office at the white house to talk about potential investment in the u.s. of up to $500 billion. he has been a frequent companion to trump lately at mar-a-lago to talk further about this, what the japanese investment firm's plans are in the u.s., but also what japan's plans are for developing ai as well. jackie: there is another companion trump has and that is elon musk. doge has been storming across washington looking for savings. in that video, you saw scott bessent trying to l.a. concerns that he did not have access to non-read-only information. but what did he say about having access in the first place? does he agree with what doge is doing in washington? >> he endorsed it. he indicated he was completely aligned with elo
