wiley preceded me. we've had some agreements, we've had some disagreements. so it's good to have all four of you gentlemen here today. when i was chairman of the full committee, back in 1996, my commutety introduced a bill we call the coke bill, the communication opportunity promotion enhancement act of 2006. it dealt with national franchising, net neutrality, public educational and governmental access, e-911 and what we now call void. it passed the house 321-101, but it didn't come up for a vote in the senate. i voted for the telecommunications act of '96, and the cable act of '92, and i hope this year to get to vote for another major bill that comes from the leadership of mr. upton, mr. walden, mr. waxman and miss eshoo. this is a good thing to be doing and we're going to get some good information from your gentlemen and we appreciate you being here. >> gentleman's time's expired. we'll now go to the former chairman of the committee, mr. waxman, for opening comments. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i appreciate your convening this morning's hearing, a

>> this is william wiley, only one earth. this is a print edition. there are only eight total, and what we wanted to do was expand the idea of printmaking. this is really an art object. there we go. >> besides the punball machine, what do you produce in limited edition? >> there is the slot machine. if you win the super jackpot, you have saved the world. >> what about work? >> the right design, it was three volumes with lithographs in each volume. the cab of count dracula with 20 lithographs inside and lined with beaver fur. really special. >> let's move on to the print shop. >> ok. the core of what we do is making things. this is an example. this is a print project that will be a fund-raiser for the contemporary music players. we decided to put it in the portfolio so you could either frame at or have it on your bookshelf. >> so nonprofits can come to you, not just visual are nonprofits, but just nonprofits can come to you, and you will produce prints for them to sell, and the profits, they can keep. >> the return on investment is usually four times

. >> the head of the ncta michael powell and dick wiley and read hunter testified on the hill about changing the communications law and whether the '96 law needs updating and if the '34 law needs updating. would you be game for a big overhaul? >> i think it is obvious it isn't keeping pace. the fcc should calibrate to keep up with the times. i think we have reached the point given the intro modal competition we are seeing, the fcc needs to take action and bring regulations into the 21st century and get rid of the furlou furloughs saying they need to be treated differently. >> couldn't that lead to more regulation of wireless company and pushing broadband in as a common carrier? >> you know my own views as to what the fcc should do. i would hope congress would recognize wireless innovation is the hallmark of that part of the industry and that is a direct result of the agreement in 1993 to let the thrive without the standards you saw in '92. >> let's talk about the hsh discount. the deadline was this week. you and a bunch of commented saying it should not eliminated without looking at the owne

. >> joining me now, maya wiley and a form u.s. attorney.nd politics beat and a former prosecutor with the u.s. justice department where he specialized in public corruption, so i begin with you. if you were working in the u.s. attorney's office in newark right now and someone says, hey, did you see what the mayor said, we should look into this? >> yes. >> how are you thinking about what the possible criminal exposure here might be? how are you pursuing this? >> you know, i'm thinking we have 4,000 federal criminal offenses. we have more than enough crimes in the united states, that's why we have so many people in prison. >> well said. >> so it's really a gut level feeling about did somebody here do something that they need to go to jail for or, on the other hand, is this just politics as usual. you know, you do me, i do you. isn't that just the way it works. >> what you said right there is fascinating because it gets to something that i think is poorly understood about the law, right? and this is this whole thing about a federal grand jury c

he's a very tough campaigner. >> he's wiley. >> wiley is a good word too.nk if he gets past the primary he looks good in that general election race. i don't know the guy running against him. in 2004 he didn't support a democrat or a republican. >> couple more red staters, senator haggen from north carolina is facing an uphill battle for re-election. >> recently in virginia terry mcauliffe did it to revive the obama coalition. that's the question in north carolina with kay haggen. a republican leading state. her victory, re-election would depend on reviving the obama coalition, young people, african-americans to overcome which will be a basic tilt towards the republicans in a mid-term election. >> as you say the affordable care act will be right in the middle of all these. john harris, politico. great sweater. good luck on the roads. >> i hope you guys shovel out. >> willie, breaking news from the tweet feed. the same ounce in new york city, $120. they are marking it up in colorado. >> i would expect new york would be high end just based on regional pricing.

joining me, judith brown dianis and maya wiley.s a huge win. >> thanks, karen. huge win. >> starting with the new vra legislation, i want to talk about voter i.d., i believe it was in the statement that you put out, judith, you talked about a known practice coverage formula. up said practice that have traditionally been known to discriminate against voters would have to be precleared before going into effect. what would that look like? >> thanks for having me, karen. we know there are certain kinds of tools that have been used as the tools of voter suppression. so, for example, if you have a growing minority population and you used to have single-member districts to vote in and you moved to an at-large system, moving of polling places can really hurt minorities. there should be a provision, if a jurisdiction uses one of these methods and they have a significant number of minority voters, it should be precleared. we're letting too many jurisdictions off the hook by waiting around for them to have a certain number of judgments before

>> i wonder why there was not backlash -- bill clinton was accused of it numerous times, kathleen wiley talk about the situation with bill clinton, yet she was so attacked by the left, they do worse to her than anybody else. >> anita hill was subpoenaed to testify at that hearing. just so the viewers know, the confirmation hearing was closed and then somebody leaked an fbi report to the press about anita's allegations, which were never brought in a court of law, it was just stuff that she said happened in a room that he denied. and other senators and lawmakers came out and said reopen the confirmation hearings which they were forced to do to vet these claims which were not supported. and in which clarence thomas responded to in part as follows, listen here. >> this is a circus. it is a national disgrace. and from my standpoint, as a black american, as far as i'm concerned it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks. >> ebony, your thoughts. >> yeah, also as a black american, i don't care if you're from the left or right, as a woman, i want to see bill clinton or justice thomas who is a

i kept going to group homes and kept running from group homes, ended up in wiley. >> not worried about [ bleep ]. caught on a gun charge. went to county jail, got out for that, got another gun charge, got sentenced to the penitentiary. got out now. i got a violation for access to a gun. never had no positive influence. my influence was the streets. and i thought that was positive because that's all i knew so i'm thinking that's the right way so i'm going to go that way. that's what i did. >> samuels wants to turn his life around for the sake of his son. he doesn't want his boy to grow up without a father like he did. >> that's my life right there. that's what i got to live for right now. that's what i think about all the time. i want to straighten my life out for him because i ain't never had no dad. even though my dad would have been good to me, because i knew who he was, he fell victim to the streets. i don't want him to be the same. i don't want him growing up like me. i got to be there for him. i'm thinking right now, i'm not doing nothing right for him. i have to do something for

wiley, the president has rejected two of the recommendations from the nsa task force he put together.to split u.s. cyber command from the nsa and the second is to put a civilian the top the nsa and not a military leader. it is interesting when it comes to cyber -- u.s. officials are clear that as long as it's not impacting individuals inside the united states and being used as a defense mechanism, even something like this program where you are implementing data into worms and computers, that might be fair game so long as it is in a defensive posture. >> is this any different from what china is doing? >> no, not really. it depends on who you talk to. >> i'm talking to you. >> u.s. officials will say what china is doing, what cyber attacks their sting from china is they are economic base, attacking companies and capitalism, going after institutions that are crucial to the u.s. economy. that is severely problematic. what u.s. officials say they are doing with their cyber attacks are capability is they are in a defensive posture. they are trying to protect u.s. institutions and government

on a personal note i want to thank first sergeant mark wiley and great members of the state police executive protection unit. you serve around the clock, travel constantly. for the last month 1/2 you've been guarding two governors and you do it all with professionalism and character. you have become part of my family for these years. and we're going to miss you very much. thank you for your service. [applause] we've also worked harder to try to improve customer service throughout government operations but especially with dr. hazel's leadership in health care. we're launching the commonwealth coordinated care initiative to better facilitate care for those dual eligibles, that is those eligible for both medicaid and medicare. we saved taxpayers an immense amount of money by expanding managed care for medicaid statewide. our medicaid reforms implemented in the last couple of years with dr. hazel and cindy jones are already saving hundreds of millions of dollars annually. but we've also made the largest investments ever in virginia's civil of intellectual and developmental services, stemming fro

when chairman wiley led the agency, telephone service was a government regulated monopoly. consumers got their news from broadcast television and print newspapers, and the internet was still years away. 16 years later, when reed hundt took the reins the internet was coming into full force and mobility was beginning to take off. chairman powell's tenure saw the convergence of services towards the bundled offerings we see today, as well as the deployment of broadband to americans. and in the four years since michael copps served as academic chairman there have been dramatic changes to the way we communicate and the technology that powers our lives. for example the title of today's hearing contains a hash tag. twit per, then with no vowels in its name, had yet to be discovered by south by southwest. neither we nor the august panel before us can predict the future and what technological changes it will bring. but by learning the lessons of the past, we can do our best to create a legal and regulatory environment that will foster innovation, and competition, encourage consumer c
