As metro areas compete to be the home of Amazon's second headquarters, Americans watching the process play out are learning how much power the company has amassed, tech investor Roger McNamee said Thursday.

"We know where the power is in this country now. You think of the government historically as being the largest entity," McNamee told CNBC's "Squawk Alley." "But when we look around now Amazon's clearly got wildly more power than any state or any city."
