The state's attorney general and others 186 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 10: say new evidence shows prosecutorial misconduct at his trial, arguing 187 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 10: he should get a new one. The Supreme Court will 188 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 10: now consider whether the eight must carry out his execution. 189 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 10: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you 190 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 10: want it with Bloomberg News Now.

They earn a 206 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: light field, pretty deep Castiana's back at the track at 207 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: the water stop. 208 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 13: He headed off. 209 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 4: Let's face sake, mom the second deck the Coca Cola corner. 210 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: Another opposite field hold run for Peter.

Game four, also 217 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 13: a five o'clock start in San Diego. The Padres put 218 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 13: up six runs in the second inning. The Dodgers came 219 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 13: back with four in the third to make it six 220 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 13: to five. No scoring after that, and the Padres are 221 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 13: up two games to one. The Yankees look to go 222 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 13: up to one as they play Game three tonight in 223 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 13: Kansas City.

Coach Robert 225 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 13: Salam met the media as usual on Monday, and then 226 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 13: yesterday met with his coaches before a visit to owner 227 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 13: Woody Johnson, who fired him and Salah was escorted out 228 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 13: of the building, replaced by defensive cordator Jeff Ulbrich. Johnson's 229 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 13: made a ton of coaching changes, but this was his 230 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 13: first in season change and worth noting. Only once in 231 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 13: the last sixty two years as a team gone to 232 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 13: the playoffs after making it in season t WNBA Minnesota, 233 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 13: Connecticut eighty eight seventy seven. So it's the Links who 234 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 13: will face the Liberty and the Finals starting tomorrow in Brooklyn. 235 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 13: John stash Aware, Bloomberg Sports Canny. 236 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: Nathan all Right, John, thank you.

Good morning. 244 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: I'm Nathan Haygary could be one of the most significant 245 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: antitrust actions against a big tech company in decades. The 246 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 3: Justice Department is considering asking a federal judge to order 247 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 3: Google to sell off parts of its business. And from 248 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: where we're joined by Bloomberg News executive editor Peter Elstrom. Peter, 249 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 3: good morning. So what is it exactly that the Justice 250 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 3: Department is considering here? 251 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 14: So what we're seeing now is that the Justice Department 252 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 14: is proposing potential solutions to this anti trust case that 253 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 14: they have been waging against Google. Back in August, the 254 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 14: judge in this case, Emmitt Meta, ruled that Google indeed 255 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 14: did have a monopoly in search and it had abused 256 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 14: its power in the search business. And so the Justice 257 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 14: Department presented this thirty two page document where they laid 258 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 14: out a framework of potential solutions that could now be 259 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 14: used to address those concerns. They include some structural changes 260 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 14: and also some behavioral changes. Perhaps the most dramatic option 261 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 14: here is that they're proposing the judge should order a 262 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 14: breakup of Google. 263 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: That is certainly a dramatic possibility. I mean, it would 264 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: be a pretty significant development. One of the biggest sense 265 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: the effort to break up Microsoft. 266 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 14: Right right, of course, the effort to break up Microsoft 267 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 14: did not result in a breakup of Microsoft. It did 268 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 14: result in Microsoft having to pull back from some of 269 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 14: the potential acquisitions and investments that perhaps they would have done, 270 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 14: but at that time the US government was seeking to 271 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 14: set rate perhaps the operating system or the Windows the 272 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 14: Windows operating system, or the office franchise from Microsoft. In 273 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 14: this case, what the Justice Department is floating is perhaps 274 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 14: separating out some of the different businesses of Google that 275 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 14: it has been using to supplement that search business. Search 276 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 14: has always been the most profitable business that at Google 277 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 14: generates tremendous amounts of advertising profits for the company, but 278 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 14: it also uses some of its ancillary businesses to build 279 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 14: up search. That includes Chrome, the browser where people often 280 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 14: go to find different things. You can use that to 281 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 14: search directly. That can funnel people to search. You've also 282 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 14: got the Android operating system, which is the most popular 283 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 14: mobile operating system, that also often uses its technology to 284 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 14: direct people to Google Search. And then on top of that, 285 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 14: what we find out during the case is that Google 286 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 14: alphabet pays billions of dollars to different companies to use 287 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 14: Google Search, including Apple. Apple's one of the big beneficiaries 288 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 14: on iPhone get directed to Google Search too, And. 289 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: It seems like a lot of this pressure has really 290 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 3: ramped up with the rise of artificial intelligence alongside it, 291 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: and how that's improved and increased the capabilities of that 292 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: search function. How does artificial intelligence play into this anti 293 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: trust scrutiny. 294 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 14: I think Apple and AI has been a threat more 295 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 14: broadly to several different businesses, including Google's search business. There 296 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 14: was discussion shortly after open ai introduced chet GPT that 297 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 14: perhaps people wouldn't have to search anymore. Instead of going 298 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 14: to Google getting that list of potential links and then 299 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 14: clicking through them, you just go to shut gpt. You'd 300 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 14: ask a question, you get an answer instead of a 301 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 14: bunch of links. So that was clearly viewed as a 302 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 14: threat to Google's business. Since then, Google has accelerated its 303 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 14: own AI efforts to try to catch up to some 304 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 14: of the things that open ai had put into the market. 305 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 14: Google is very advanced, They had done a ton of 306 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 14: research and AI already, but they had him put some 307 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 14: of those services into the market at this point. Now 308 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 14: they're getting more aggressive through Gemini and some of their 309 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 14: other products and using AI. But that is one of 310 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 14: the big potential prizes in the future. And I think 311 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 14: one of the concerns that the Justice Department and FTC 312 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 14: also is that the big tech companies are going to 313 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 14: use their existing monopolies of their existing franchises to capitalize 314 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 14: on AI, which is really the big prize in the future. 315 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: So this report's just come out, these potential remedies. Is 316 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 3: there any way to tell at this point where the 317 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 3: judge might lean in terms of the kind of remedies 318 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 3: that he could seek in this case. 319 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 14: We really don't know that. What we got most recently 320 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 14: is this thirty two page document where the Justice Department 321 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 14: is laying out potential remedies that it sees in the case. 322 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 14: Google immediately weighed in. They said these were radical proposals, 323 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 14: they would have unintended consequences. At one point they said 324 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 14: that a breakup would actually break the company, which is 325 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 14: a bit surprising. And we have quite a few months 326 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 14: to go. There's going to be a hearing early next 327 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 14: year where lawyers on both sides are going to be 328 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 14: able to make their case in front of I'm at 329 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 14: meta the judge, and then the expected target for a 330 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 14: decision would be fairly late next year, roughly in August, 331 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 14: So there are many months. There's a lot of arguments 332 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 14: that are going to go into this.
