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.

After decades of service to the country, women warriors are the gold women lawyers are the gold standard. She said why should we trust nsa or any Government Agency to put the technical side of this together . Why should we and then why do you trust them and i said well, i start with this there are bad guys out there trying to attack us to read what sort of the terrorist piece of this. I want to know who they are and disrupt them before they do that. My assumption is most of them are in some Foreign Place and are not u. S. Persons. But at any rate, some of them could be. So, congress tried to design a system, and i think they did so pretty well. Building in safeguards. Court reviewing the congressional oversight. Now the system got a lot bigger since 9 11.

At mondays veterans day day ceremony at Arlington National cemetery president obama talked about ending the war. Here is a little of what he had. On tour after tour in iraq and afghanistan.
