google? >> congressman, we are very concerned when there are allegations like that, our team looked into -- >> i'm not asking you that, does fair to say the we in both sentences refers to the company, google. >> as google, we wouldn't participate in any partisan efforts around any civic process, so i don't think so. >> we pushed and we supported -- latino to pay for rides in polls in key states, we pushed to get out the vote during the 2016 election. and how were they getting that done? they were getting that done by -- according to miss morillo, by altering your features or con figuring your features in such a way, and for paying for rides for people to get to the polls, is that an accurate reading of those -- >> is that fair to say what those sentences are talking about? >> not out of all the specifics, we did look into it, we found no evidence that there was any activity like that from google to an organization. >> she's not telling the truth? >> for sure we didn't find any supporting evid

general with the google assistant, we have been focusing on where google strengths are. a really deepth and strong foundation. if you look at the translation feature i'm talking about, google has been working on translation for many years. able to do those features on the basis of this major investment we have been making over time. the ecosystem, we think we can also be more present for users across the devices they use. devices inis on the their car or in their home. it to focused on bringing people as they go through their day. emily: what is the roadmap to monetizing google assistant. we are really focused on building the right user experience for people. and building it out and that is the main focus for us. it is still a nascent space, so we think really nailing and really getting the user experience great is where the focus should be. emily: right, but at a certain point, you are going to have to think about how to make money, about how to bring ads and peoples homes without turning them off? >> we are very careful about that. we don't want to do things that would

we brought the google assistant into google maps. a lot of times when people are driving, they are using google maps navigation, so we have integrated the assistant directly into google maps both and phone.stant you mentioned translation, which we are also super excited about. there is a new feature called interpretive mode, and you can tell google to be your french interpreter or a number of other speak in, and i can english, and the assistant will speak in french. someone else could speak in french, and the assistant will speak out in english, and the assistant is being my interpreter to enable a conversation that i might not have been able to have otherwise. that is coming to the google phone hub as well as google speakers. what do you think is the biggest advantage google has over amazon? mr. fox: we have been focusing on where google's strengths are. that starts with a really deep and strong foundation in ai and machine learning. if we look at the translation feature i just talked about, google has been working on machine transl

i think google has a team in china. google appears to want to find ways to reenter china. that is all i know right now. interviewer: do you think it is the right course to demand different standards for different countries for internet companies? kai-fu: every country has a right to have its laws and regulations. every company has the right to choose whether to go into the country or not. if the company chooses to go in, it has no choice but to adopt those laws. it may be an academic question. we now have a parallel universe of chinese companies and users, and american companies and users. american and chinese companies hoping to cross over have a minimal chance of success. interviewer: are we looking at five different versions of the internet? internet? kai-fu: i don't think so. -- wel just have to -- will just have to the u.s. and two, china. this is about the ecosystem, the types of users, demographics, young people, how you monetize. those are the things that characterize the chinese apps. i'm not projecting there will be two types of internet rules and regulations. i'

emily: ok, but why google? tim: with regard to google, that is why we wanted to move to the public cloud. with google, you have one of the largest, really the largest, advertising infrastructure in the world.they do a lot of the foundational work we can build on top of. the other thing to bear in mind about google's they are multidimensional company. emily: all right. i'm going to have to let you go. we are getting tape from president trump who has been speaking at the white house. pres. trump: one of the ideas suggested they open it, they pay a sort of prorated down payment for the wall, which i think people will agree that you need. you need the wall. i see a lot of the democrats, almost all of them are breaking, saying walls are good. big difference from what you have to or three weeks ago. at the vote, we have the vote on our bill, which we won 50-47. that with our bill. but we got one democrat. it was 50-47. we need as you know 60. we don't have 60 votes. we need democrat support. we did not get democrat s

after that, i worked in various microsoft,at apple, and google. now i have my own venture capital firm. we also invest a lot in artificial intelligence. kai-fu: he was also -- interviewer: he was also the former president of google china. kai-fu: we are a technology oriented v.c. we try to understand trends ahead of the curve. we try to understand breakthroug hs and education and b2b software, we are always looking for chinese applications and new consumer uses. we focus on companies in china, primarily for chinese users. interviewer: why are you always looking for that chinese application? of-fu: our firm has a lot mba's with u.s. training. is thatntage in china we can use our technical towarddge to help us look the chinese future. that is our differentiation against our competitors. the reason we don't invest too is we arede china also a very local investment firm in china. we don't understand a lot about markets and other countries. overtime we would like to invest globally. born inwer: mr. lee was taiwan and educated at carnegie mellon. when y

there was no reason for google to pay him $90 million. all of the equity that rubin had when he left in october 2014 was unvested. it was about $177 million. they did not have any obligation to pay him that equity, so you have to raise a question of why they would pay him $90 million to leave when he did not have any of the equity vested? that is the only question we can discern from that type of obtainment, especially in terms of the light of the fact that, and you have to remember, before they fire been they did an extensive investigation at google and determined the allegation of sexual harassment were credible. so he should have been fired for cause, in which he would have gotten zero dollars. lunationrationalized is the board paid him to stay quiet because if they fire him, he would have sued them for wrongful termination and said, hold on, you are saying i did something wrong? all the senior executives and even the cofounders of the company are doing similar thing.happen you fire me ? emily: is it true any monetary damages would jus

>>host: what is the parallel relationship between google and china? . >> i only know what you know, and what we see in media. i think google has a team in china who will look for ways to enter china and that is all i know right now. >>host: do you think it's the right course to demand different standards for different countries for internet companie companies? . >> first, every country has the right to pass laws and regulations and every company has a right to choose whether to go into the country or not. if the company chooses to go when it has no choice to follow those laws that maybe it is an academic question because we now have a parallel universe of chinese companies and users in american companies users so for an american company to cross into a parallel universe hoping to succeed or vice versa is has very minimal chance of success. >>host: so looking at five different versions of the internet in the future? . >> i think so. it's not really a form of internet i should be clear. it's about the ecosystem the demographics, how you monetize are the

if they are not, that legislation would help facebook and google even more. emily: marco rubio has injured his privacy legislation, ron wyden is expected to introduce privacy legislation. all of these big tech companies spend a lot of money on lobbyists on capitol hill, whose messages are lawmakers hearing? is facebook and google speaking to them? or are these message from apple having an impact? >> google and facebook are speaking to them and going to their offices and making their --ch, but the drumbeat from everything started with cambridge analytical has really pushed legislators to want to act. it is important to see that bill you passed in california in the middle of last year has made industry want to come to congress and get a federal standard that can preempt some of the state laws. they are hearing facebook and google because they want to move something forward that can create a federal standard, but would make it so that california when it comes into effect at the beginning of next year, may not have the teeth they spoke at google are most worried

facebook, google, they are under pressure. saying that apple still accepts billions of dollars from google to have their apps on the iphone. >> [laughter] that's right. emily: isn't that have the critical? -- hypocritical? >> they are sharing a lot of the profits for that. slightly hypocritical. apple, on the upside, with data collection, is better than android. , lot of the apps on an iphone they track your location and collector data. part of the point on data brokers, it depends whether facebook or google would be included in one of these clearinghouses. if they are not, this type of legislation would help google. >> senator marco rubio has introduced privacy legislation. all of these egg tech companies send a lot of money -- spent a lot of money on lobbyist on capitol hill. his message are the lawmakers hearing? is google really speaking to them? are the messages from apple having an impact? >> google and facebook are speaking to them, going to their offices and making their pages. -- their pitch. everything that started w

i think google as a team in china. google appears to want to find ways to reenter china. that's the status that i know right now. >> host: do you think it's the right course to demand different standards for different countries for internet companies? >> guest: well, first, every country has a right to have its laws and regulations, and every company has a right to choose whether to go into the country or not. if a company chooses to go in, it has no choice but to adopt those laws. but i think this may be an academic question because, as i mentioned earlier we now have a parallel universe of chinese companies and users, and american companies and users. for an american company to cross into a parallel universe and helped can succeed or a chinese company helping to cross the american one is one that has 30 minimal chance of success. >> host: so i would looking at two, three, four, five different versions of the internet in the future? >> guest: i don't think so. i think we'll just have to come use u.s. and china pickets that really a form of the internet i should be clear.

at google, the manager at google a silent campaign contribution by turning out the vote in contributing turn out the vote efforts in several states that were swing statesnt were hillary clinton and specifically targeting latino voters. i think people should be encouraged to do democratic activities like this on both sides and help with elections. when a corporation does it, the corporate assets it needs to be disclosed as a campaignt, finance violation and declared and disclosed on the other side, campaign.y the or you have the one example of maxine waters. but let's just out. we have 20 plus democrats running for the democratic nomination.g if google decides to bump up the search engine results in a positive way for beto o'rourke in response for example to the democratic candidates for president 2020, and then bump down gabbert or others for example that is a contribution. a net contribution, in my opinion, to those candidates who benefit from it. and a very valuable one. if it isn't disclosed as such, that is a fraud on our democracy. you can imagine what they are doing, vis-avis trum

it combines google's voice recognition technology and niq's it combines google's voice recognition technology and leq's own platform to be able to not just respond but also initiate conversation. it can actually provide notjust reminders but also goals for its users. so if somebody has been sitting down for too long, the motion sensors will alert and it may get them to get up and do a bit of exercise. it could also be helping them keep in contact with their family through the tablet elements. but of course, these devices do have a way to go before they provide a totally seamless experience. and now it is going to pull out one of the... voice should be the most natural user interface that is out there, versus touch or using a mouse or keyboard, or anything else, and so making it conversational, like you and ijust having a conversation right now, that is how it should be with alexa, right? we shouldn't have to keep using her name, we should have ideas of knowing what we are about to say. this is a gesture controlled speaker, which works like this. the company behind it are hoping to install the

so how does click get to the top of google's list? it's not our list, it's the user's list, that is what is important. we are simply the distribution of the content that already has a huge audience, so there are certain players that you just have to have, and there are other times when there is just unique experiences out there that a partner has, that we believe is what the users really want. recipes is another, we said we had to make sure that we have the right recipe partners because that's a key use case for speakers. those are the two things that i would say really ranked on what the users really want, and also the popularity of a lot of content that they already have, which has already been established before we even start to think about the programme. so you are going to see the same kind of stuff over and over, but what if you want to watch something other than bbc click? the serendipity of discovery is already under siege by recommendation engine code. do we really want to get caught up in a filter bubble of just one result?

this out. >> we have heard there might be a google cafeteria. what is special about this mall is it has big, open floors and an atrium. so there's a lot of natural light going in. this is one reason it makes sense for a big tech company like google. tech companies like that sort of design. carol: and you assume that a lot of people watch what google is doing. having said that, one big transition or transformation of a mall does not necessarily make a trend, but we are seeing that elsewhere, right? in a smaller degree? >> on a -- in a smaller degree? >> on a smaller scale, for sure. the people who i spoke to said that this might be an anomaly, a one-off situation where you are having almost the entire mall redeveloped for a big tech company like google. we will have to see. it could happen again in the future. there is one example in dearborn, michigan, where ford has rented out what used to be a lord and taylor space. but again, it is not the entire mall. only time will tell if this happens again. carol: coming up next, espn's ex-president tries

like apple, google, like visa. walk me through the strategy. >> we thought all of those consumer payment methods would be very successful over time, but what has been lacking is a platform for the businesses to manage the abstract complexity of doing business online in 2018. when you talk to businesses, even for table space to get up and running, managing the payments and the treasury and the regulation and the compliance, and all the complexity that goes with that, first off, take doing that in the u.s. and then take doing that all around the world. that was a hugely heavy lift beforehand. i think it really had this damaging effect where only large companies could do it and they could not pivot very quickly. you look at what internet businesses are doing today. the models are changing, their global, getting more complex like a multiparty interaction. so that is what we are focused on. that is why -- apple pay has been growing like a weed as a payment method. that is phenomenal for stripe. on a global basis, the ma

a new report from the google transparency project first obtained by this program highlights google's aggressive campaign to have its products placed in america's classrooms. for years google has been recruiting teachers as partners urging them to use google apps in their class and promoting those apps to others. the teachers have received consulting contracts for thousands of dollars. as teachers are one over, their school districts become collaborators in google's marketing scheme and a new jersey public school, parents were told to let their kids "let me see what you did in google classroom today" instead of say what did you learn in school today. amazing this is happening. michelle malkin has been following it and she joins us now. has there been any pushback? it's hard to think of a consumer product we would be okay with a company pushing on our children in schools but nobody seems to have noticed this. >> there is a building movement. what's most interesting and intriguing about it in the years that i've been covering it is that it does cross some partisan and ideological lines.

the developers in kenya can now sell them on google play or increasingly do so why has it taken so long and what has changed. about two things first of all is the authentication process or the approval process to say because what we have seen more of these dates taken longer for this authentic asian process to you know for the apps as well to go through these integration or approval process and then the other issue is maybe there's lawlor awareness of how exactly these app developers can market or sell their absence well but it's not been as difficult with google play as it has been apple or at last because it's been more restrictive on that end compared to google play and a lot has changed of course since they now can be able to do that because it's sort of who they want to global market and now they're going to compete globally with the other app developers from around the world. so how briefly if you can how similar are the trends in kenya to what's happening globally is going it is lagging behind a couple you definitely lagging behind because if you look at the demographics of the p
