quigley. rep. quigley: thank you secretary for being here.ou are public in your criticism objections to the fcc's proposal to change how the 5.9 gigahertz spectrum can be used. the proposal would shrink the amount of that amount used 235 megahertz and increase the amount of wi-fi -- you explain why the industry requires all of this dedicated spectrum and what with the operational impact speed to the industry if they have to operate with only 30 megahertz? ac. chao: this is controversial topic. obviously, the real estate on this spectrum is precious. all i am looking out for is safety. i am making sure that as we enter a new world in which technology takes a greater role in helping us achieve greater safety, when there is vehicle to onicle communication going with wi-fi, vehicle to infrastructures, vehicle to everything, communication going on with the wi-fi, that the safety aspect not be optimized and forgotten and that we have the full real estate required. not wed to anyis particular technology. there have been technology talked about in th

quigley: if it is mandated, we might not have any choice.perience with the human species, when they realize there somebody, a hurting disease. a, the fatality rate is still quite low, in the 2-4 percent range. i think they will do what is appropriate to mitigate the spread. i do have confidence in the american population. in ahat they will respond responsible fashion. joe: our thanks to dr. robert quigley, senior vice president and medical doctor at sos. this is bloomberg. ♪ a corporate shakeup at disney. naming bob chapek the new ceo. let's bring in laura martin, managing director and senior entertainment analyst at need him -- at needham. thisuch of a surprise is to you and how much does the particular choice say about disney's priorities? >> it is a huge surprise. factuddenness of it, the that they don't have a new parks head, it makes it seem really sudden. ggsl street wanted tom sca about five years ago. today, i think they were expecting meyer to get the top job. the head of parks getting it is a big surprise, i think. romaine: bob cha

>> well, i have to agree with congressman quigley. it's impossible to believe this is coincidental. there is no advantage to be gained from replacing one acting director of national intelligence with another acting director of national intelligence. the only plausible explanation for this is that he was furious at admiral mcguire for allowing bad news to get out, and he wants him to replace him with someone who won't allow the bad news to get out. >> so, asha, can you just put an exclamation point on what the significance of this would be, russia interfering in the election to help the president of the united states get re-elected, and his instinct is to get rid of the guy who tells him that and get someone else who would be in the position of telling congress and the american people about that, who is loyal to him? >> yeah, this is problematic on a number of levels, erin. so, i mean, the first one is that he does not want intelligence regarding foreign threats to the united states to reach the intelligence committees whose job it is to understand what these threats are, to pass leg

let me bring in the democratic congressman mike quigley of illinois.ou back on the show. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, good morning. >> good morning. i know you're limited on what you can say, but i would like to ask if you can pond to the claim that there was a misinterpretation here? >> here's what's clear. i was first briefed that the russians were attacking almost four years ago and the first state they hacked into was my own state of illinois. january 2017 we were briefed that -- by the unanimous intelligence community that the russians did this and they did it to help one candidate and hurt another. helping candidate trump. nothing -- nothing i have seen since then being briefed in that 3 1/2 year period has altered that course of what the russians are doing. and the president's own people have talked about those threats on his way out the door dni coats said the warning lights are still flashing red. nothing has changed under this administration other than the administration attacking his own intelligence community not pushing back on

i'm going to quote from representative mike quigley, democratic member of the house. the president is interfering in what is meant to be an independent process and that's dangerous because it has a chilling effect on the intelligence agencies and analysts. if we don't get the full truth, we're less safe. that's the root of the concern here, wolf, is that the president, because he views this as politically damaging to him, much like his reaction to intelligence on 2016 interference will attempt to suppress it and therefore not address it. and that's the real concern here and we've seen this, wolf, now, it fits a pattern with this president. and certainly just when speaking about election interference, but it goes beyond it. and that is the real concern because here we are. we've got an election in nine month's time. the evidence appears to be russia attempting to interfere again, and if the president doesn't even want to hear the intelligence indicating that, then is the president going to protect the election, act to protect the country, its electoral process? that's

. >>> let's bring in mike quigley, democrat from illinois. good to see you, sir, thank you for joining me. your reaction to the president's firings, is there anything but any chance it's vindication for the performances during the impeachment trial in the house? >> given the timintiming, no. past behavior, no. of major concern is not just that these people were dishonored by this treatment but it's a chilling effect on those still in the administration, throughout the administration that you can't decent with this president. you can't tell him that he's ever wrong. lincoln had his team of rivals, this apparently is a team of sycophants, and that's not good for the country. it's not good for the administration. but particularly hard to watch after watching colonel vindman testify before our committee twice. he spoke of his duty to do so, to talk about the truth. and that he said, he knew it was okay to do this because in the united states, the truth must come out. i guess the president taught him a lesson. it's hard to see this as anything oth

so we can be, you know, very quigley picking up when there is an introduction in the commun y community, go in and try to stop it. >> let me quickly ask you another question in my limited time. i want you to speak about the danger of xenophobia in a situation like this. cnn reported on disturbing example from the sars outbreak when, and quoting them, people of asian descent were treated like pariahs in the west. there were reports of white people covering their faces in the presence of asian co-workers and real estate agents who were told not to serve asian clients, end quote. we saw similar incidents during the h1n1 swine flu outbreak in 2009 and the 2014 ebola outbreak. sadly, i have heard reports of incidents like this around coronavirus. so, i'd like you to talk about why it's so important to avoid stereotyping people as carriers of the coronavirus and how incidents like these can be avoided and how they are dangerous really for public health. >> i couldn't agree with you more. those who heard me talk before, i said that stigma is the enemy of public health in all its forms. whether
