can sound wonky but it was a pillar of the deference to administrative agencies like the federal communications commission's and others and so the fact it is now gone by virtue of the supreme court decision, it does change a lot of dynamics around communications, law and policy. we are excited for each of these topics. we are excited to welcome a leader in next-generation positioning, navigation and timing. that is a sponsor for broadband and the trump administration. i want to give a thanks to the sponsors of broadband breakfast that allow us to do this free programming every wednesday at noon. we are going on five years since the start of the pandemic we have been doing this every wednesday at 12 noon. our sponsors include utopia fiber, comcast, the institute for local self-reliance is community broadband networks initiative, the california emerging technology fund, g fiber or google fiber, broadband now, cost quest, aca connects and an cta and the internet and television association. thank you to each of our sponsors. i'm going to open our view up to all of our panelists. they will only be o

that's according to a republican member of the federal communications commission. he says harris's cameo was, quote, a blatant effort to evade equal time rules. the equal time rule requires stations that broadcast a message by a candidate to offer the same amount of time to an opposing candidate. the trump campaign said the former president was not offered an snl appearance. spokesperson for the fcc says it has not received a formal complaint from any interested parties. the fcc member taking issue with the appearance was appointed to the commission in 2017 by then president trump. still ahead, a police impersonator in the north bay, he had police lights, a badge he even went as far as pulling someone over. the new real cops are looking for others who may have been stopped by that imposter. plus, grow where you are planted. a popular nursery is back open after a surprise shutdown just last month. and who's the real dev? we're talking with the organizers, putting together a dev patel lookalike contest in san francisco. will you be part of it? and the weekend that st

and one place where we can see it play out is at the federal communications commission.e fcc may not be an agency you think about often. that is understandable. last night 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 i

as well as brendan, who wrote a chapter, trump has named him to lead the federal communications commissionome of those have to be confirmed by the senate, others don't. tom does not have to be confirmed as all. he has made clear a lot of his plans, saying on fox just this weekend that he believes trump should cut federal funding to states that say they are not going to cooperate with their mass deportation plan. he says he can guarantee trump will do that. william: as always, thank you so much. laura: thank you. william: we start the day's other news with events in the middle east. israel's ambassador to washington says a potential ceasefire deal between israel and hezbollah in lebanon is close and can happen within days. officials say prime minister netanyahu's security cabinet will meet tomorrow to discuss the proposed deal. israel has ramped up its attacks on lebanon in recent days, launching airstrikes on the suburbs of beirut. a lebanese politician said that escalation is actually a sign that a deal could be close. >> in the past hours, we have seen an increase in the frequency of isr

it doesn't stop there, trump's twice for chairman of the federal communications commission or the fcccarr, he wrote a chapter in project 2025's planning document on deregulating broadcasters and cracking down on media outlets. then of course there is john ratcliff, trump's picked to lead the cia, he served as dni during trump's first term, and can you guess what? he also contributed to project 2025. tara and ameshia are back with me. ameshia, this was, again, all too obvious for anyone who is following or watching the campaign. you think trump had convinced anyone, anyone across the political spectrum that he was genuine about not infusing his administration with project 2025? >> absolutely not. i think that most people knew, definitely those who cared about project 2025, but most people knew that donald trump was lying about his allegiance to and his acknowledgment of who was involved and how he aligned with some of the precepts of project 2025. people will say that they voted for the economy or they voted inherently about the price of eggs and things like that, but what we do know i

in one place we could see that play out is at the federal communications commission. but last night, donald trump tapped a guy name brendan carr to lead that agency. that is not only alarming because he wrote the fcc chapter of 2025 but also an outspoken defender of elon musk's businesses. online and in person musk has been building a public alliance around his company's policy goals with carr and, in particular, carr advocated for starlink. not to get into the weeds here but what we do but starlinks will send different signals. the problem is that starlink has its fair share. problems. it's not after the s fast and f the. can's subsidy request for almost $1 billion last year. but both musk and carr have brushed off the technical concerns and accused the government of playing favorites. carr even old politico close to a third of a 42 billion dollar broadband program should go to satellite internet. and wouldn't you know it? as of now, the only game in town in satellite internet is through elon musk's starlink. despite that, carr has downplayed the idea he is showing a

the fbi, the federal communications commission and other agencies are investigating a wave of racistages being sent anonymously to black americans. they have been reported in several states including new york, alabama, california, ohio, pennsylvania, and tennessee. the exact wording varies but the messages like this one often tell recipients they "have been selected to pick cotton, instructing them to be ready with their belongings." middle school and high school students are among the recipients. in seattle, suspect is in custody after a spate of stabbings in the last two days that have left four victims in critical condition. nine people were stabbed yesterday, and today in seattle's chinatown district in what police called random attacks. a federal judge struck down the biden administration's effort to provide citizenship to some undocumented spouses of u.s. citizens. a judge in texas said the administration stretch its interpretation of immigration law, past its breaking point. president biden announced the policy in june. it would've allowed undocumented migrants and stepchildre

our current federal communications commissioner brendan carr, is his choice to become the agency's newirman trump called him a warrior for free speech. the agency's job is to regulate communications and car selection comes amid calls from trump to revoke licenses of major television networks. but many of trump's selections still have much of washington talking especially the choice of former house republican matt gaetz for attorney general. cnn's steve contorno has the latest week as president elect with questions still remaining about some of the early picks for his incoming administration especially around matt gaetz. >> his choice for attorney general. there are questions as to whether or not senators will get to see the results of an ethics investigation into alleged sexual misconduct. speaker mike johnson on state of the union on sunday discussing his views on whether or not senators should be able to see that report. >> president and i have literally not discussed one word about the ethics report not once. and i've been with him quite a bit this week between washington and mar-a-
