For her visit to sandusky show show was shown this red suit as a showing of support for the maple leaf. I admire the thought she put into her wardrobe and shoe knew the advantage of picking out a color. Brought to you as a public service. For the first time in many months, we have now new members. Joining us to discuss the fccs agenda is sam gustin. What do you think is the main priority for the fcc . I would say the biggest immediate priority is the spectrum auction that is scheduled next summer. And that is to sell the existing spectrum for broadcasters to address the growing spectrum crush that is being driven by the smart phones and tablets. Tom wheeler talked about the upcoming spectrum auctions. Here is what we had to say it is something that has never been tried before. And i liken it to a rubeic k pi cube and you have to provide an incentive for broadcasters to want to auction their spectrum. On this side of the cube, you have got to provide a product that is structured in such
Exemptions. I see some exemptions that are clearly explained in terms of we understand under the case law. I would disagree with your assessment of the grandfathering exemptions. The regulation itself says it is a right and its a definite. Your case hinges on how we construe the grandfathering . Not necessarily. The other exemptions have about be taken into account as well. Weve gone through them. Have i missed some . No, that is the point. Well, theyre insignificant. Corporations you cant argue that as a basis.

But, as has been demonstrated time and time again the simple truth is that concessions from israel are not going to alleviate the hatred. The truth is that aid from the United States is not going to alleviate the hatred. The truth is that even the establishment of a palestinian state would not alleviate the hatred while the avowed policy of the Palestinian Government is the destruction of israel. Only only when the palestinians take it upon themselves to embrace their neighbors and to eradicate terrorist violence from their society can a real and just peace be possible. Until then, there should be no question of the United States Firm Solidarity with israel in the mutual defense of our fundamental values and interests. This is nothing less than the defense of our very exceptionalism as a nation. That same exceptionalism fueled by those godgiven rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness to which israel aspires. Wri
