man reacted immediately and positively, putting out a quote -- a tweet shortly thereafter saying starlink458s enroute. terminals enroute. in the white house spends way too much time tooting their own horn and not enough time listening to the american public. people are hurting, and the only thing sliding faster than the stock market are biden's poll numbers, and it does not have to be this way. railing against wealthy people and corporations seems really silly. it's time to fight for the american middle class. that would bring calm to the inflation pressures, it would calm the market, it'd even maybe salvage the midterm elections. i still, by the way, love the rein this stock market even though there's a a lot of red on the screen, it acts like it wants to do a whole lot better. so watch it because this last hour of trading, as we know, has been a wild ride every day. luckily, you've got liz claman -- liz: and luckily, you're handing it to me after a very solid hour of news. charles, i don't know if you saw this, the associated press now reporting russia's northern fleet saying in a state

you know, he's been providing ukraine with starlink, basically internet access, and some have asked himor propaganda websites. he says he will not do that unless at the point of a gun. your thoughts? given what ben was describing. >> elon musk comes from the humanitarian tradition, so i'm not surprised that he's taking the analogy of a point of a gun and interesting one. he's a man who lives very much in the social media world. and, you know, social media pressure will build on him. that's a different kind of weapon binded, pointed at his head. if there is substantial social media outcry against him, we see that he does amend his behavior, according to what is trending on twitter, and what is trending on facebook. it wouldn't surprise me if down the line, he is obliged by public pressure to change his mind. at this point, it doesn't really move a needle whether or not he leaves those sites up. the problem is not russian propaganda directed at the west. now, most sensible people, if they come across a video that is extolling putin, or putting down the ukrainians, have already figured out

elon musk is confirming that spacex starlink satellites are now active over ukraine, giving a digital lifeline to residents and businesses there. the announcement after ukraine's vice prime minister personally asked busk to help provide internet service to the country . musk answering the call on twitter writing starling service is now active in ukraine. more terminals in ralph. internet service has been disrupted in several ukrainian cities since russia invaded last week. south san francisco schoolteacher is trying to help a friend in kiev. who's in hiding right now with her family, she says she just can't sit still watching her friend andther ukrainians suffer. ktvu us live tonight in amber, you spoke to the longtime friends. about their message. that's right. alex were just outside of south san francisco's city hall . it's lit up in yellow and blue , the colors of ukraine. earlier tonight, i spoke with the school teacher who tells me she wants to give her friend in ukraine. a voice. we do here is explosions in the distance, but it's regular. unfortunately alina and ukrainian americ

apparently, the shipment, the starlink shipments, he has got another one through to ukraine.nternet. lauren: this is amazing story. continues to send stations, mini sat dish connected to a modem. he is sending antennas to ukraine. they are hailed effective keeping ukraine online, keeping them connected. there are reports in the rural areas the drone teams are actually using starlink to track the russian forces and the tanks on the ground at night. so i mean, what a win for elon musk and his technology. stuart: that is superb appetizing for his technology. that is for sure. thanks very much indeed. listen to this one. >>> cnn's brian stelter spent zero minutes covering the media's false claims that the biden laptop emails were russian disinformation. miranda devine is joining me right now. mir ran today, you know the story. you've been covering it from the very beginning. what does china have on biden because of hunter biden? >> good morning, stuart. well china knows a lot better than what they have than the american people do us pa the white house never answer as question. ba

electric cars that is a very good call >> as far as musk goes, he's got that going on, and also starlinks it's giving to ukraine and their ability to stay connected is pretty amazing. >> look, i think musk -- musk -- i would give him the ball. if i were the president, i would say, all right, what do we do? what do we do weapon wise? we're sending weapons over from like desert storm. just tell us, what would you do, elon i don't know, the president seems so uncomfortable with business people. and the only person -- that's the commerce secretary that's never been the power in the white house. >> right >> i think the president -- i think the international security council is running the show. they have to sit down with people like musk and say, what do you think >> so, as far as tesla goes, is this a situation where it is sort of zero sum, or does a better tesla availability production flywheel lead to better awareness of evs which means good things for -- >> it can be both. they're taking share and more people are going to love it. i think it's selling well in china. look, he's got the bes

satellite services amid a flurry of satellite megaconstellation plans including, of course, spacex's starlinkat the real issue we're trying to get focus on is measurement of the risks and those risks have been well identified by the fcc, recently by nasa and they include the risks of collision in space, which could make space inaccessible to all. includes the impact on astrotmy. the impact of re-entry of thousands or tens of thousands of space vehicles a year and burning up in the upper atmosphere what we need to do now is not just acknowledge those risks but measure them and then once we understand what those measurements are we can come up with allocations of those risks that will preserve access to space. >> consolidation is also expected to be in focus this week at this conference and viasat is certainly on the forefront, in the midst of a merger for a $7 billion plus deal the uk government just this morning it being announced has struck a deal with the two operators around this perspective merger and he told me that it's on track to close potentially. still some more regulatory hurdles,

thirdly, central florida, we just saw a recent spacex launch of additional starlink satellites, there are 2,000 of them up there now. we see those launches from our backyard in kissimmee. amazon is hot on their trail, as is europe. finally, the america competes act, we'll finally bring the microchip manufacturing, telecom manufacturing back to the united states, which will make kissimmee and central florida a key area. to the goal of getting internet to all americans, secretary davidson, the infrastructure law included language prioritizing broadband funding for grantees that have, quote, demonstrated record and plans to be in compliance with federal labor and employment laws. one problem we often see in broadband is some of the workers pass down to subcontractors with poor labor records who often do rush, low-quality work that jeopardizes service. do you have plans in place to avoid that problem and ensure that the funding you oversee will in fact support good jobs, high quality work that ensures all americans have reliable high speed internet access? >> great question. we, you know,
