Trends and Turmoil: TikTok, Tech Giants, and Consumer Rights

Black Friday is here, and while many shoppers are hitting the malls, others are taking advantage of deals on social media. Marketing and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk highlights the rise of live shopping on social media as a potential disruption to the retail industry. Influencers are making millions of dollars each month through live shopping events on TikTok, he says, much like QVC. Next, Dr. Scott Gottlieb gives his perspective on the future of health care as President-elect Trump’s transition team takes shape, including Trump’s pick of RFK Jr. as health secretary. CNBC’s wealth reporter Robert Frank shares the impact philanthropy has had on the net worth of America’s richest people–and explains why Warren Buffett has already shared his will with his family. Plus, the FTC has launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft, and Moana 2, Wicked and Gladiator II had a successful Thanksgiving.
