Ill take your questions. Good evening. Are there any questions . Is there any version of the means to you mainstream rule in the nation you would support, what a partial inundation of it where it would keep one employee or something. One of the things that i made clear is if you have a very small station and even a midsize station but when you talk about small, out outweighs as employees, if indeed it is burdensome, i made it very clear in my statement that i would be receptive and empathetic to that. I really am concerned about what used to be one of my biggest criticisms or excuse me, observations when it comes to radio. As i grew up knowing and loving, that radio and localism was part of that. Part of that passion. When things started changing and we started getting simulcast and it was very clear that you could go from city to city and every station sounded the same, i thought it lost a lot. When you talk about you know, broadcast stations and what it means the community and what t

Resolution 34 which disapproves of the rules of the federal Communications Commission relating to privacy of customer of broadband and other telecommunication services. I applaud senator flakes work on this issue as it was passed by the senate last week. I filed a companion resolution in the house. The f. C. C. Finalized its broadband privacy rules on october 27, 2016. They assured us the rules would provide broadband customers greater choice, Greater Transparency and Stronger Security protections for their personal information collected by Internet Service providers, but the reality is much different. There are three specific problems with which the f. C. C. Has gone about these rules. First, the f. C. C. Unilaterally swiped jurisdictions from the federal trade jurisdiction. The f. T. C. Has served as our nations sole Online Privacy regulator for over 20 years. Second, having two privacy cops on the beat will create confusion with the internet echo system and will end up harming consu
Job in the battle against terror. So important heading into the holidays. It will solidify, perhaps, this race for several weeks. We do have lineup on that stage. Donald trump once again will be front and center. Why . Leading in all the national polls. Lets take a look at where everyone else will be. Where the players will be. Athena jones with a look at the stage and behind the scenes. Reporter coming to you from the venetian theater on the las vegas strip. We are in the middle of the rehearsals but the main stage is set. The nine candidates made the cut for the prime time debate in order, kasich, carly fiorina, marco rubio, ben carson, donald trump, ted cruz, jeb bush, Chris Christie and rand paul. Trump is center stage once again. Hes still the front rupper nationally and the status is being challenged by cruz in the state of iowa. Three new polls now showing the texas senator leading there. Cnns wolf blitzer and dana bash spending time in the cone of silence finalizing questions f
We dont look at the responsibilities we have on the committee differently. I have confidence in richard burr that we together, with the members of our committee, are going to get to the bottom of this. When we started this, we saw the scope and what was involved. I said it was the most important thing id ever taken on in my public life. I believe that more firmly now than even when we started. Were going to get it right. Thank you. There are three ongoing investigations into possible links between the trump team and the russians. The fbi investigation confirmed by director james comey last week in an open hearing, an investigation which will play out largely in secret. Then theres the house investigation, which is frankly in disarray amid calls from every democrat on that committee for the chair, nunes, to recuse himself. And then the Senate Investigation, which will play out at least in part in the light of day, and which appears to reflect, at least as of now, a genuine and rare bipa
