we have the federal communications commission, we don't need the federal disinformation commission, we don't need one more commission, we need to invest in those. but more specifically, we need to invest in journalism. journalism in this country has done amazing things. there's so many people that work for a great publication around the united states that want to do good work and want to protect democracy, but they're still having to learn on the fly. and, in fact, in the book i talk a lot about the ways in which journalism has been not just challenged by the digital era, it's not like they're feckless individuals or organizations that can't handle the digital era. it's that organizations like google, google news, youtube, facebook, twitter massively benefit off the work of journalists without giving any renumeration or money to these folks. the same can be said for organizations like wikipedia. when youtube faced the crisis of disinformation, what did it do? it started linking to wikipedia articles. they're a nonprofit. youtube was using it as the resource that youtube sent people to.

we thought let's bring in a federal communications commission member who says this is a big win for america'snd the consumer won't be hurt. commissioner brendan carr joins us live along with charlie gasparino. brendan, let me just begin by looking at at & t and verizon stock. they are taking a hit, not a huge one, but they are both in the red right now and to me, that signifies that people think this will actually be not hurtful to the consumer. how do you see it? >> you're right, this is a really big win today for u.s. leadership in 5g and for every family that wants to see better, cheaper, faster service and frankly, it's a huge loss to the democrat ags that brought this partisan lawsuit. the judge exposed the game they were playing. they elevated partisan politics in their own pursuit of higher office over their own constituents getting better service. they got no conditions, they got no concessions, they got nothing back on the taxpayer dollars they invested in these lawsuits. total loss and i'm happy about that. charlie: the democratic judge, we should point out, john l legere, i intervi

well, two decades ago, in 1999, the federal communications commission, an independent agency, wisely set aside 75 megahertz of spectrum in the 5.9 gigahertz band. this is a safety band. spectrum air waves reserved for transportation safety. in anticipation of the future. those days, in 1999, transportation safety was important enough, for the fcc to set aside spectrum air waves clear from any possible interference. over the past 20 years, our department has been funding research, based on the existence of this band of spectrum. i have heard about much of your research, and i know that many of you are doing fascinating things. this research has helped the automotive industry and state and local governments to develop new technologies that rely on the safety band, uncluttered by interfering uses. these new technologies depend on clear wireless signals that can help cars avoid accidents in the smallest fraction of a second. some examples of these technologies, changing red lights to green when an emergency vehicle is going through. having a vehicle stop automatically if there is somethi

that's what we believe the federal communications commission has done. that's what the u.s.ernment is doing. they assume that we are bad because we are headquartered in china. in fact, that's our biggest problem. and they will not look at objective evidence to make sure that there are limitations that protect the benefits of technology without hurting americans and i hope we can have more sensible conversations and some statements by the department of defense to indicate that maybe we can start thinking about the impact, for example, on tens of thousands of american jobs, if american companies cannot sell to huawei. in fact, president trump tweeted today that america is open for business. hopefully that's going to be true. liz: andy purdy of huawei and worked at the homeland security department, it's a pleasure to have you on the show. we afford everybody opportunities to give their side. thanks for being here. we hope to see you again. >> you're welcome. liz: a major name in pet food feeling the puppy love in this final hour of trade. with the closing bell ringing in 36 min

my bill would direct the department of labor and federal communications commission to issue guidance r states to help leverage existing federal resources for growing the telecommunication workforces and help them improve recruitment for the programs like the wireless infrastructure association's telecommunications industry registered apprenticeship program. i appreciate my colleagues, senators tester, moran and peters for partnering with me on this bim. madam president, -- on this bill. madam president, getting to 5g in the near future is important for our country, both economically and for the advances it will bring in medicine and auto safety which is why it has been a major priority of mine over the past few years and i am particularly motivated by the benefits 5g could bring to my home state of south dakota. the ability to deploy precision agriculture on a wide scale would have huge benefits for south dakota farmers and better access to telemedicine could bring better health care to thousands of residents in my home state and other rural areas. but to get for these benefits, we ha

a verizon lawyer runs the federal communications commission. a goldman sachs runs treasury. a kingpin runs commerce, a billionaire and so what you have here is a reflection of those folks that are completely disconnected with the american people. some of them are millionaires and billionaires who don't understand the. i represent the 13 district strong where we have in some areas some chronic poverty but also lack of access to food and we also face that we are front-line communities of doing nothing on climate change. we also house the worst zip code . look at the budget in itself. just gloss over it. you are talking about $1.4 trillion in tax give aways. nd 1.7 trillion in army of engineers. and my constituents are facing flooding from communities in dearborn heights. we have 920 billion in health care cuts. many of them, again, family members and those that have to take care of our children. 26% cuts to the e.p.a. we right now in the city of zroit, we don't meet sulfur dioxide standards. we suffer every single day. we have three times asthma hospitalizations among adults.
