i am thankful to fcc chairman pye. he's made some useful changes to lifeline and e-rate in recent weeks, but by comparison these changes are just baby steps in the right direction. so let me ask every one of you whether you have an estimate, let's talk dollars about how much should be devoted to lifeline. is $1 billion the right amount? would you recommend more, less? again, let's go down the line and ask for mr. kimmelman, since you're by remote to start us. >> thank you, senator blumenthal. it is a great initiative. if i had been given more options, i would have been there with the assistance liabilities. $1 billion at least and i think you could spend more because the price of broadband is so out of reach for so many people. >> thank you. >> let me say that without specifically saying what the amount is, i do think we should think as well on program reform so the temporary emergency programs both for lifeline and e-rate could flow money as quickly as possible. we have -- past is prologue. we have seen that can be do

with what the fcc is doing s?i think you're seeing critical conversations but how do they loop in if west virginia has their own initiative, how do they become part of that? how do we make sure that under ardof if anybody got west virginia money that that not get them kicked out of eligibility? i think we have to make sure we have a coordinated approach. i think congress will take a very key role in making sure all of the key agencies are talking, sharing information, sharing challenge processes and coordinate wrg tho coordinating where those dollars go so we can use them best. >> another thing when talking to one of the main providers several years ago, i said what is it really going to take? and he says well, shelly, its going to take time and money. >> yeah. >> well, we're talking about money here. let's talk about time lines. i mean when we see what -- i mean i think this covid-19, one of the lessons learned is this connectivity issue. it's just been incredible the telehealth expansions and the way people like

the fcc and every agency deals with nothing but do the rules apply and the exceptions etc.. so i always thought that that was then justice brandeis is category economic regulation as far as the first amendment is concerned or at least most of it was. .. >> of a particular law applies that is very likely to be content -based. referring to earlier to content -based laws there are that target speech based on that content even if you think of the debt is based you would think the content what does it target speech because of the content it treated the same as just exempt a very small category of speech. them the third thing is whatever the rightigr answer is it can't be the mere fact that a particular law is limited to speech used in a particular economic activity it cannot by itself be sufficient to render law to subject it to scrutiny because that principle would cast out a vast array of laws that congress and state legislatures have enacted. >> that favorability issue is fascinating but as you do get to that question what is the best president for the application in a case li

she is immensely qualified and she would be the first person of color to ever set on the fcc. yes that's right. not the first person of color down this progress, the first person of color in the history of the federal election commission to serve on the federal elections committed commission.ca since republicans refuse to move forward in a bipartisan manner. the agency charged with enforcing our campaign finance laws will continue to remain in effective credit this undermines our country's political institutions and it does not serve our country's best interest. many people refer to the senate gas the world latest deliberate body because the senate of the institution is designed to have full consideration and debate of legislation and nomination. when we arose the bipartisan norms and made us e the greatest body, we end up allowing the nominees will hold extreme views to be appointed to important in position in our government just at a time when we should be doing the opposite. in addition to these process concerns, today also being asked to move forward with an army of the fc

congress and the fcc have made a judgment, that's clear if you look at the 19 92 order from the fcc, congress and the fcc has made a judgment that noncommercial and non-telemarketing calls do not adversely affect the privacy rights that were protected. they made that clear by allowing times of dayn all to home phones. if you had that indicator of congressional intent, but they are not worried about political and noncommercial calls as an intrusion of privacy, there's no rational reason to treat cell phones differently and congress did not make that judgment. in this case we have not only the differential treatment of residential calls, but also the evidence provided by the 2015 exception which shows they are willing to trade off privacy for money, even though everyone would agree that money is not a compelling interest. >> justice ginsburg? >> your challenge is predicated on the government debt exemption. either the statute originally enacted -- i thought the statute, as originally enacted did have an exemption for calls made by the government and government agencies, isn't that true

how do we coordinate with what the fcc is doing? you are seeing more critical conversations how do they become part of that how do we make sure if anybody has west virginia money that does not get them kicked out of eligibility? we need a coordinated approach and that's where congress will take a key role to make sure these agencies are talking and sharing information to coordinate with those dollars go so we canpr use them. >> talking to our main provider several years ago i asked what will it take? he said timeal and money. now were talking about many now is talked about timeline i think one of the lessons learned of cove it is connectivity it's incredible of the expansions and they like to have those telehealth appointments where do you think we will cease having these conversations and have them may be overexposure to internet or to overbuild? do you have a six month one year three-yeare plan? >> the issue is predictable availability. we could spend $1 trillion rolling out broadband but you can't do that all than one year have t

that really overlooks the respective responsibilities of congress and the fcc. congress has broadly regulated calls using a prerecorded or artificial voice to residential land lines as it has two calls to cell phones. both of those bands encompass noncommercial calls. congress has vested the fcc with broad but not identical authority to exempt particular categories of calls from the residential and cell phone ban respectively. au can look at five a and six to see the exemption authority that has been comparable. discrepancy results from the fact that the sec has -- the fcc has exercised authority robustly with respect to residential land lines than cell phones. create -- i cannot create constitutional infirmity in the statute itself. adopt sec should comparable exemptions they can file a petition to that effect. the last thing i would say in respect to those between mr. martinez and justice kagan said yes, they framed it not in terms of the content of the call but in terms of all the calls from the holder of a government-backed debt to the debtor, that that woul

trump wants the fcc now to define what good faith is, but the law does not give the fcc to power to dohat. the law actually does not give the fcc the obligation to listen to trump. that's before you get into any of the first amendment issues of trump coming down on a company that expressed a view he did not like. i think there is a lot of grounds for legal challenge, and i think you will see that if the fcc takes the bait. so, with the early amount of analysis we are seeing, would constitutional? ben: there is a strong case that it might be. experts i have heard on the left and right suggest that there were big constitutional issues here. the u.s. chamber of commerce, certainly known to be allies with republicans, came out with a statement and said that only congress can change a law, that trump can't but by executive order. i think it is going to be a real battle. at the same time, you are going to see congress try to get in front of a lawsuit and change something to try to kind of appease the white house. you can see a battle flaring up there as well. we will get more on this breakin

did he get into any kind of supple -- any kind of trouble with the fcc?here has not been any kind of fallout from the fcc that we are aware of. sometimes the fcc will investigate the company, and then you do not find out until the investigation is complete, but we are not aware of the sec actively investigating tesla at this time. vonnie: love your updates on tesla. thestock up almost 250% in last 12 months. that was dana hull, our tesla reporter. let's check in on bloomberg first word news. here is mark crumpton. mark: federal reserve chair jerome powell pushed back against the idea of employing negative interest rates, but he did not rule them out for the future. speech, following the chairman powell said the evidence on negative rates is mixed. his speech highlighted the risks of lasting economic harm from the coronavirus outbreak. u.s. inflation at the wholesale level fell last month for the most since 2015. the producer price index was down 1.2 percent from april a year ago. that reflected falling energy prices and a drop in demand caused by the coro

during this time, the 1950's and 1960's, the fcc and congress created strict regulations that ensured that cable could not compete in the top 100 markets. it limited the type of programming cable could use and offer its subscribers. it basically made it so that the only way cable could function was if it extended the signals of the broadcasting industry but it couldn't necessarily offer a competing service. or alternative form of television. that starts to change over the next two decades. political changes, the white house, state and local governments combined with the activism of cable operators, the formation of an effective lobbying organization and consumers to transform at not just the regulatory structure, the very ways that television function in american politics. this is the story that my book will hopefully continue to outline. these changes started in the presidential administration of richard nixon. it is not an accident that richard nixon, who so firmly believes in the power of media to shape his political success, something i charted in my first book, becomes a presiden

they are working on the language and as we best understand it would involve the fcc and other regulators taking a look at what is perceived bias and basically treating these guys like publishers who can get sued. now, mark zuckerberg has said that he's not into this at all. he's not into flagging anybody's tweets -- >> he's right. liz: you see what happened with twitter. but you know, mark zuckerberg is a little disingenuous because he acts like facebook is a utility like the phone company and he says well, you know, we don't listen in on people's phone calls and then we wouldn't, if somebody lied on a phone call, we wouldn't ban them from using our pipes. but you know, these are tweets and facebook postings that are out there and if they are incorrect or, for example, absolutely hateful or in spite, i guess, if they inspire violence, right, that's where it becomes illegal. >> yeah. i'm not exactly sure where that line is supposed to be drawn or whether it should be drawn anywhere. i think that technology can improve the entire platform. i mean, i would think facebook and twitter and who

arthel: the pentagon worrying or warning about a potential national security risk after the fcc granted to the virginia based satellite company, lagatto, to create a nationwide 5g network. officials say it could disrupt gps signals crucial to military operations. lucas tomlinson is live at the pentagon with more. >> reporter: it's not just military operations at risk but that blue dot on your iphone, courtesy of the u.s. military, who operates 31 gps satellites in space, 12,000 miles up. top pentagon brass say they were blind sided by a recent fcc decision they say could farm the gps navigation system. critical to not only dropping bombs but also life for ordinary americans. >> we were completely caught off-guard. >> reporter: defense secretary esper and the top diplomat are at odds over the ruling. they say it's crucial. attorney general barr backs pompeo. the head of the space force says the decision giving the satellite company giving permission to use the spectrum needed for 5g nationwide is a threat to national security. >> without question, putting a ground emitter in with the sig

i don't have a comment on what the fcc is going to do they obviously do a great job on monitoring all of the different trades that occur so it will be up to them if they decide to look into these insider stock sales. >> let's talk about the stock itself and your overweight rating on it you see the stock virtually doubling over the next 12 months according to your call here. in terms of the $10 billion in revenue, 1 billion doses a year. that's $10 billion a dose. who pays for this, ted we're trying to understand for vaccines like this when there's such pressure on the part of governments to say this is a humanitarian cause at this point, give us the vaccines, who will pay for that? >> you know, clearly, government will pay for this. also, i believe insurers will pay for this if you think about the cost of the single vaccine versus what it costs for a patient to go into the hospital with severe respiratory distress and vaccinations are some of the most cost beneficial areas of investment when you think of $10 a vaccine, that's not the price of a flu vaccine every year so tell me, melis
