the fec spent over $40 billion in the last decade on serving the underserved. the 2008 stimulus, during the financial crisis, put another fusion of capital. we are still working on the problem. why haven't we succeeded, the answer is simple. we often lose the discipline necessary to target the areas that are truly unserved. we are not effective in harnessing all of the technologies available to attack the problem. when we make those two central mistakes, we often look with regret that we spent a lot of money but continue to have citizens lacking service. lynn: what do you say to communities who have been waiting for not just years but decades at this point? they just want to do it themselves because they are tired of waiting. and yet, the broadband industry as a whole has actually promoted state legislation that, over the years, in some states, prevents or restricts community's ability to respond to the needs of citizens. michael: it is important for us to be clear about areas that have no broadband. what if they have no broadband? because economics are disastr

as so many on the left push to tee fund the police, new fec records show the squad members, look at thisg us now to react is new york republican representative nicole malliotakis. i mean, look, the more we talk about defunding the police, it seems the only people that are going to be the safe are the rich and powerful who can afford to have their own security. why is the left moving in that direction? >> i think this is a typical hypocrisy of socialists. when you look at people over our history whether it be the castro brothers or hugo chavez, you see how they have completely provided misery for their people and misery themselves. it comes with security. the idea between socialism is that everyone lives in misery while those in power are the ones living in success and luxury. exactly what we're seeing. another page out of their handbook. it's hypocrisy where they feel that the public doesn't necessarily need the police to keep them safe but they feel it's okay for them to vote to defund the police or push to abolish the police and then have, you know, private security or the capitol poli

but the latest example, hyperpartisans being fleeced came from the 2020 trump campaign according to fecormation. after blowing through $800 million by the end of summer 2020, the trump campaign ratcheted up their ask by making online donations repeat by default. buried under fine print and confusing carnival barker claims. wasn't all. they also added a second prechecked box that obviously doubled a donor's contribution. they reportedly called it a money bawl. but the people who got wiped out were loyalists. take stacey living on less than $1,000 a month but he coughed up $500 when rush limbaugh told him that trump's campaign was in need. the trump campaign billed him again and again and again every week through mid-october when his account was emptied and frozen and his family suspected fraud. and they were far from alone. fraud claims were exploding from unwitting trump donors. bandits is what they called it when he paid almost $8,000 to the trump campaign without realizing it. i'm retired he said. i can't afford to pay all that money. that may not be a lot of money to jared kushner an

i know you've looked through more than a dozen of these fec disclosures. unitemized contributions.true of mitch mcconnell, true of kevin mccarthy. just to make mitch mcconnell for a second, first quarter two years ago, he got more than $600,000 from pacs. this cycle, he didn't get anything. now, so there's -- you have to be a little caveat here in that mcconnell was in cycle, he was up for re-election last time. but look at the amount of money he's raising from small dollar donors, they're absolutely still sending a lot of money in. it goes both ways in the republican party. liz cheney had a pretty good quarter and yet she's finding a lot of small dollar support. the bottom line on all of this is that the corporate pac money that defined washington for so long doesn't seem important to the republican party that much more. and that will have interesting implications on a whole host of fronts. kasie? >> yeah, i mean, it's fascinating, and part of me wonders how much of this is just the general move towards that with the way that we communicate now being so much different, but republi

bills, backed by biden, which would federalize our elections, lead to more ballot harvesting, turn the feco a partisan speech czar, and eliminate state voter i.d. laws. could their priorities be anymore divorced from the priorities of the american people? it's impossible, because when biden should have been focused on things like getting all of our schools open and securing the border, he has been more interested in letting the left-wing radicals in his face set the agenda by endorsing and funding the scourge of critical race theory in schools and workplaces and bolstering the failed and rejected democratic party packs masquerading as unions in this country, all while they get a blank check to spend taxpayer money, but again, there is a method to their madness. could it be that biden and the democrats are starting to see the writing on the wall and see that with such a slim house majority, they are hell-bent on getting as much past and driving through as much of the far spending as possible, ahead of a shellacking that we expect in 2022? because in just 100 days, we have seen a coordinated

i think that is one area along with the private family offices that do not have to report to the fech leverage they have that will cause you leaders to become more disciplined. being part of a democratic administration, the biden administration is in favor of that. >> i want your opinion on archigos. do you see another archigos situation happening, considering there are three major hiccups in the system in the last 18 months? >> i think it is highly likely that we will have another situation like that. these things, when they come like we are experiencing, where out of the blue you hear some major law somewhere, they 10 to continue to cascade -- they tend to continue to cascade until the market corrects and flushes the risk out of the system. with the vix at levels we have not seen in over a year, complacency is rising quite a bit. i see us as being very vulnerable to something coming out of the blue that nobody is anticipating and cannot be predicted. matt: that was guggenheim investment chairman, scott minerd. let's get to the bloomberg business flash. laura: u.s. treasury secretar
