Today about president trumps first 100 days. And i would suggest that yes, the Supreme Court is a big deal. But the things that the chairman is working on right now potentially have the longest impact of anything coming out of this administration. That is definitely doable. So i have been at Freedom Works for 12 years. And 12 years ago, when i started this was one of the first issues we worked on. And last year i was very nervous that we were going in the wrong direction. President obama passed new regulations on the internet that i feared was primly stop innovation. Particularly 15 billion devices connected to the internet. That number is gonna go up to 50. So obviously well get into a whole new level of change. And we can either try and regulate that change or we can let the market develop. So we are encouraged to hear that chairman ajit pai, the announcements you will be making today.

And its latest order has glaring legal flaws that is sure to keep the fcc mired in litigation for a long time. Turning to the designated entity program. The fcc must take immediate action to end its abuse. What once was a wellintentioned Program Designed to help Small Businesses has become a playpen for corporate giants.

It could be used to underwrite over 585,000 pell grants, fund School Lunches for over 6 million children or incentivizing the service of 100,000. It denied them spectrum licenses they would have used to give Rural Consumers a competitive wireless alternative. In my view, the fcc should quickly adopt a further notice of proposed rulemaking so we c
Opening statements and comments were near and dear to some of the comments that i want to make today. But before i do that, i would like to make an observation. The observation that i have is that it was my opinion that the purpose for the Affordable Care act was to guarantee all americans have the same bad health care. And i believe that this title ii decision made by this commission is to guarantee all americans the same bad internet service. I also believe two things. And i dont believe im wrong. One is, the purpose of this open Internet Order is one, to regulate and restrict content. And number two its to open the door to taxation. What i would like is commissioner oreilly and party to tell me why im wrong. Senator, ill tackle part of the question, with respect to taxation youre right, it opens the door to billions of dollars and fees on broadband. As a result of reclassification were going to expect to get a recommendation from the joint board on april 7th and it might be kicked o
