Fcc chairman tom wheeler commented. Joining us on the communicators this week to discuss this, craig aaron, who is president and ceo of free press, and former fcc commissioner rocket Mcdowell Robert mcdowell. Commissioner mcdowell, can the fcc put the kibosh on comcast Time Warner Cable mergersome. Guest oh, it could, absolutely. And the department of justice could try to do so as well. Sometime in the past when mergers have been proposed not necessarily at the announcement stage weve heard words such as unthinkable. They havent put the kibosh on it just yet, and the application, i dont think, has even been filed at the fcc. But, sure, as a matter of law, its ability, it could deny the merger if it wanted to. Host from what youve read about this, do you think the fcc should stop this merrier . Guest well, so, actually, i think the better question is will it. And i dont think it will. And, you know, im in a think tank now, the hudson institute, so i have in dog in the fight. So trying t
It is our intent, we need to do a better job. We should make that clear. The problem is the public doesnt trust the epa. The farmers dont trust the epa to not overreach. Congress doesnt trust the epa, and what we have here today is a proposed rule, a defective. As youve said we need to make things clearer, our intent is not clear, we need to do a better job. But the rule is out there. The very fact you intercepted our questions and thought you had the audacity, that you had that control, none of us trust for two seconds that the epa isnt going to let this train roll right down the tracks. Saying all these good things and putting things on your blog doesnt make it so. Especially when what youve shown is a disregard for listening. You dont listen. And if you dont listen, whats going to happen so youre saying youre getting this input. Frankly, congress doesnt trust you. The farm bureau or counties dont trust you. The public doesnt trust you to simply ignore all that youre hearing. And whe
That they need to know about whats probably happening in their community . One of the most prevalent venues where these minors are being trafficked are in local hotels. Now typically, you know, people arent paying attention whos coming and going in these hotels but those who are in the business of operating hotels they are in a position to take notice of the behavioral characteristics consistent with this trafficking. For instance, many times a pimp will come in with three, sometimes five young girls. The girls will be off to the corner, the pimp will go in, make the arrangements for three to five rooms. Might be for a threeday period. Typical cash. These girls will go up to the rooms. Theyll never leave their rooms. Food will be delivered. Nobody sees them again until they leave. Thats strange. What whats going on . Why is that pimp hanging around . Why is he walking the hallways . You know, 24 7. Somethings going on thats inconsistent with the regular routine of the trade of that hot
Little while ago from a canadian member of parliament who is locked down in the building. I was just taking off my jacket to go into congress. I hear this pop, pop, pop. Possibly ten shots. Dont know. Thought it was construction rather than anything else. Suddenly the security guards come rushing down the hallways and usher us all out to the back of the Parliament Buildings. Were standing around talking and one of the construction people said to us, probably a better idea to stand behind one of the monuments so if theres somebody inside shooting out then we have a bit better chance. We started talking to another woman who was apparently inside the parliament and saw the fellow wearing a hoodie and carrying a gun and then implications of this start to sink in. Lets bring in paula newton following this story. She knows the situation very well. She knows the scene. What are you hearing, paula . Whats the latest. Set the scene for our viewers in the United States and around the world who m

I read it and responded accordingly. In retrospect, i wouldve done things differently. Bill this starts our hour. President trump talks to the french leader tonight. Also the confirmation hearing, begins in 28 minutes. Theres a lot of anticipation outside of the hearing room. Im going to step aside. You can see the line extends down the hallway and back into a hallway that occurs around the corner. People have been lined up here for over an hour. But we anticipate are several lines of questioning is a get through the Opening Statements from the committee chairman. As well as the Ranking Member d democrat. How will they respond to new allegations against donald trump jr. How will they explain contact with russian officials . And in order to secure his nomination to be fbi director, does Christopher Ray have to give a ple
