chairman wheeler: yes. we have a long way to get even. back to football. commissioner o'reilly. good morning. set us back on course. mr. o'rielly: thank you for the honor of appearing today. let me start with the issue of fcc process reform. i find it necessary to reiterate that my efforts are not about undermining the chairmanship. as i previously stated, even if every one of my proposals were adopted, the chairman would still control the agenda and win every vote. additionally, this is not a response to the process or outcome of net neutrality, these problems existed before that and remain today. instead, my efforts are an attempt to empower the public to engage with the commission through a fair process, rather than one slanted to ensure that only the insiders get information and can influence outcomes. at the same time, we must ensure the rights of commissioners are not overrun by the chairman and the bureaucracy. take for example our rules prohibiting all employees from releasing nonpublic information

chariman wheeler: no, man. i was a businessman then. >> but basically, the point i am making, is in this 2012, not that you were there in 2012, this white paper was generated in 2012, the point i'm trying to make is that you are adhering to this white paper. chariman wheeler: i'm unfamiliar with that white paper. >> i will just point out then that this particular white paper outlines this particular suggestion, and you are following it? chariman wheeler: on which topic? >> i will read it again for you. the sec should issue a declaratory ruling that multichannel video programming distributors and it goes on to say, may not engage in unfair methods of competition or deceptive acts and practices. with regards to online video distributors. that is part of the white paper. process withhis questions to that practice. is not true? i apologize.ler: an online video distributor. >> all tell you what, let's leave that one aside. the fcc, and this is again in the white paper, the fcc should begin a proceeding to determine

if the fcc adopts the wheeler proposal? final order later this year, it will embed a regime that creates more, not fewer hurdles, for smaller players, to pierce the silicon curtain, end quote. mr. chairman, you don't to state that you don't believe this disruption will -- has the fcc gathered evidence to this effect? has a disparity study been conducted to surface the unintended consequences of this proposal for programmers whose viability is not only improved with this business model? >> you would consider a delay? >> i would. >> commissioner clyburn, i want to congratulate you on this bill. i know it will happen. i have a question about the martinization of the life line program. i'm hearing from many constituents that they are concerned with the portion of the proposal that would start charging for services that have been free for years. i think that's been a consistent theme here this morning. would you further explain the proposal and the martinization of the lifeline program? >> what we were attempting to do, and it w

i isn't an e-mail to tom foley, wheeler's attorney, to see if wheeler gets out of prison while he awaits a new trial. i have not heard back. the department of corrections website list is wheeler as an inmate. juts justices are saying some o the evidence gathering process might be unfair and he deserves another crack at the court system with another trial. we'll continue working the story. >> customers locked inside a bathroom during a robbery inside a barber shop. four men with masks went into razor cuts. the men put everyone in the bath rom and took their money. no one was hurt. >>> strong winds made it feel even colder outside. nbc 10 along west oak lane in philadelphia. we should see snow friday. >> nbc 10 chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz joining us with his first alert forecast and changes coming. >> it's cold and going to stay cole through tomorrow when precipitation moves. cold enough for snow. temperatures in the 30s right now except 20s in the poconos. still windy. 20 to 30 mile an hour wind gusts but not quite as windy as it was a couple of hours ago. temperature c

wheeler stepped down when the allegations first surfaced. but now, he may walk free. the delaware supreme court overturned his conviction saying the search warrant police used violated the fourth amendment. we had defense attorney look over the decision. >> basically they said the warrant was too broad. they went the look at any portable device, laptop, cell phone. >> reporter: wheeler likely released in the coming weeks and his attorney said in a statement police were given carte blanche to search anywhere and everywhere. a search warrant is not meant to be an easy pass for law enforcement to conduct boundless searches. the judge noted that child exploitation is a horrible crime but they had to follow the constitution and in this case it means wheeler will likely go free. >> police said time and again in the opinion not a good guy and the end cannot just if i the means. >> reporter: wheeler's attorney said the client could be a free man in just two weeks, waiting to see if the attorney general's office will challenge the ruling. they said they have no comment. randy

wheeler's medication came at no cost to her.harmaceutical companies offer substantial discounts to cherokee patients, and the tribe uses medicare and medicaid dollars to cover remaining costs. but even with discounts, a bipartisan senate finance committee report last year said gilead's drug prices were putting "a large burden" on medicare, medicaid and other government health programs. in a statement to the newshour, gilead said the price of harvoni reflects the cost of "innovation," and that harvoni and other therapies "offer a cure at a price that significantly reduces hepatitis c treatment costs." the company also said it offers "deep government discounts to eligible health programs." gilead has donated $1.5 million to the university of oklahoma for its part in assisting the cherokee hep c elimination program. doctor mera says with competing hep c drugs in the pipeline from other pharmaceutical companies, he expects medication costs to come down. >> do you worry at all that some of the conclusions you'll reach here, aren't go

second question for chairman wheeler. one of the things we discussed is a level of coordination between fcc and first net on closing fcc field offices since field agents play a critical role in resolving interference in public communication services. but i don't have a clear answer to my question. was there any consultation between first net and fcc about reducing the field office presence. >> i don't believe so, sir. >> you don't believe so? >> correct. >> that's probably a no, is that correct? >> yes, sir. to the best of my knowledge. >> commissioners, the market definition in the chairman's set top box proposal seems divorced from the reality of how consumers watch video today. the video market already competes for consumers getting numerous viewing options based on single program channels or bundles. isn't the fcc's market definition backward looking, considering where the market is going? what do you think? >> congressman, i agree with that characterization. i can't put it better than the former chairman of this comm

ranking member nelson sent chairman wheeler a letter. i agree with chairman nelson's sentiment that advances abound in the competitive video nah gags device market and that section 6 629 should always be implemented with an eye towards what's actually happening in the mark marketplace. i want to further echo senator nelson's warning to the commission, section 629 does not contemplate imposing regulations by which third parties gain by their own commercial advantage alter, add to or interfere with the programming provided by content providers. again, that's from senator nelson's letter. the bottom line is that today's video market is increasingly competitive and traditional pay tv subscribers are rapidly finding new, more user friendly and less expensive ways to receive the tv service they purchase on devices, including some made by the largest companies on the planet. finally, i would like to address the issue of stand-alone broadcast support for small rural carriers. because of flawed universal service fund rules, these providers lose a
