tell viewers how powerful the fcc really is. >> yes. so the fcc -- thank you, good morning.wn as sort of a back water agency to the more high profile regulatory bodies that dictate the economy but it is hugely important for communication, the media, and telecommunications across the country. it regulates phones and cable services and licenses air waves to tv and radio and a powerful agency. during the biden administration, it got very little attention because it was, frankly, not very high priority for this administration. but the president-elect trump is very interested in the activities that the fcc, particularly when it comes to media and the per trail of him on television. >> so let's dig into that. we know so much of trump's campaign was based around the idea of retribution and punishing his fill foes especially those in the ya and television shows and even networks. how could he theoretically use the fcc to do that? >> so the real lever that the fcc has and that incoming chair brendan carr would have is the power over licenses to tv stations. so we have already seen br

the fcc is i'm fussing the fcc is a fascinating project that would secure a long term perspective for cern. however, there are concerns as to whether the prospect is financially viable ones. and it's still not entirely clear today whether the technology will be available for the 2nd expansion stage in good time. and at what cost and costs. according to list a linear accelerator would also be enough to investigate the higgs bows on at a 3rd, the ccs length, a much more cost effective alternative. but many researchers at certain want more in the search for new particles. the increased energy of the 2nd expansion stage would be key and that requires a ring. however, no series currently indicate that there is anything at all for particle physics to discover in this super energized range. you off, jimenez counters that this is exactly what basic research is all about. the scope of yeah, it's mentions and i believe that we as humans are a species that has the opportunity to think about the universe. it's beginning today's you reverse and perhaps also wits end to elect office. and i think th

so whether the fcc make sense is still being debated. whether the project is even feasible or whether alternatives are available should be clear by the end of 2025. the experts aren't thinking about another alternative. no new future project at all. that's not how they work. and how i lost them, just pull. yeah, you have an ongoing project in which you're doing science and you're also preparing a future project for which you are developing technologies. so then once you've squeezed a project scientifically for all it's worth 0 ready in the starting box for the follow up project, i'm from admin staff coach on student. i know that 15000000000 sounds like a lot of money. i think that c, i'm but it's an investment that will pay off probably until the end of the century . over the next 4 years, the $24.00 member states and the organization will decide whether the giant accelerator will receive funding as the next big thing for cern. and the field of particle physics in europe. that wraps things up. thanks for watching and see you again next t

for example, astronomy, olive and i had searched for the mysterious material for years while the fcc help him all the time we built new particle accelerators again and again, and have found nothing so far. there's a lot of this illusion, but i'm not sure. and we'll find dark matter with an next accelerator either, or instead of doing the same thing just bigger. so maybe we should be considering alternatives like we could invest more in gravitational waves or telescopes, or throwing telescope. dark matter has been giving researchers headaches for decades. we can't see it. we only know that it exists because without it galaxies would simply fly a part. but is it a kind of particle, or maybe something else entirely? the astronomer is looking to space for answers. does change that, but the james web space telescope has the immense advantage set at a fraction of the cost in allowed observation in the 1st few days, which if they prove correct, will turn the idea of dark matter completely on a to pick up the culture and building another research or thinking about alternatives to the fcc is

brian, i guess what are car's plans for the fcc? should americans be thinking about this a bit more? people don't really focus too much on the fcc pick, but this time around, maybe a little bit more. >> normally, the fcc is all about deploying broadband across the country, making sure everyone has wireless access. that's been the focus of both republican and democratic chairs of the fcc for the 20 years that i've been reporting on this industry, but brendan carr is signaling this will not be business as usual. he is not talking about broadband in his tweets about his appointment. instead, as you said jim, he is talking about the censorship cartel. he is pointing at big tech companies that are regulatory purview of his agency. and he is saying that companies like meta and google and need to be reined in. that is his promise. and he wrote the fcc chapter in the heritage foundation's project 2025 blueprint, where he said, we've got to rein in big tech. right now, he doesn't really have the tools to do so at the fcc, but congress could

the same is true for the fcc. we know that trump has been very critical of the media for a long time, from the very beginning. and this has been a big issue for conservatives, for people who are in kind of that maga universe who feel like big tech is is using algorithms or other means of restricting conservative voices. it's something that house republicans have been investigating over the past few years. and so he found someone who really does agree with a lot of those things. it's someone who has been, you know, very critical of the biden administration. it's someone who has defended elon musk, who many people view as kind of the victim of media or big tech trying to silence him, despite him now owning x. and so it makes sense in one sense. he's very much a trump pick. he's someone who's going to say the same kinds of things trump says at his rallies and publicly. and, you know he's someone who really does talk about making big changes. >> yeah, steph, i know you've been doing some reporting as well on how these

now, the fcc may not be an agency you think about often. that is understandable.ght trump tapped brendan carr. he is the guy that wrote the fcc chapter of project 25 but because he is an out spoken defender of musk's business interests. online and in person musk has been building a public alliance. in particular, carr advocated for starlink. not to get weedsy here he rilies on starlink, because it is not land base today is particularly effective at getting interest to remote areas. the problem is, that it also has the pair share of problems, not as fast and much more expensive than typical cable broadband that resulted in the fcc denying requests for $1 billion just last year. but, both musk and carr brushed off the technical concerns accused the government of playing favorites, close to a third of the $42 billion broadband should go to satellite internet. wouldn't you know it, as of now, the only game in town in satellite internet is through elon musk's starlink. carr downplayed he is showing special favors and it is hard to believe when he is willing to commit m

fcc commissioner carr says this. >> nbc knew what they were doing. appear to have tried to jam the opposing candidates and thought they could get away with it. as you noted they have tried to give out some last-minute air time here but only after a real ruckus was made and they were called out for this. >> harris: what is your -- first of all, what was your reaction to how quickly this was dealt with and how serious it was? >> well, a couple of things. for people who discount how republicans say all these institutions particularly hollywood and the media are stacked against republicans, this is last second proof perfect republicans are right. nbc tried to jam it at the last second. these republican charges of bias are always accurate for the media. but look, "saturday night live" is a democratic audience. it is young, not typically a trump voter. and so they did what they did the worst thing in the world would be for donald trump to try to do something on "saturday night live." but i'm glad to see the makeup. it ticks me off to see this behavior take
