now recently we found out that the government is planning on getting net
neutrality knots awfully weird because I am a prisoner Obama saying something I
was very positive about net neutrality when he was on the campaign trail
he said where you can see is some lobbying this is the servers in the
various portals to which you're getting information over the Internet
should be able to be gatekeepers and the charge different rates different web
sites
and I think destroys while the best things about the Internet
which is that there is this incredible equality there
well all right there's President Obama say on the campaign trail
when he tried to trick you I mean I get you to vote for him
that he's totally in favor metrology equality on the Internet
and that he's gonna stand up to these people were gonna destroy one of the
best things about the Internet
well so our quite surprised to find out last week it was reported that the
revised rules that she sees considering
to be announced by the FCC will allow ISPs a
to give preferential treatment to traffic
firm some content providers as long as such arrangements are available
on commercially reasonable terms how's that for fun
there goes that route got now they announce that soon
that was a wall street journal bring that story explaining that they will be
able to differentiate
am slow down some web sites if they don't pay now
if they don't like their content enough it doesn't really matter cuz it's only
in their hands
FTC chairman Tom wheeler whose history will tell you about the second
said you know there's a lot of misinformation here
look to have to be commercially reasonable all want to trust those
massive corporations
hussein to make hundreds of millions of dollars all those decisions
to be commercially reasonable why didn't know that okay yeah that
that usually works when they regulate themselves so
there's an complete abdication bow their responsibility to regulate responsibly
and and to protect us all and obviously going back to 100 percent how why
on the same as the present Obama I gave when he was campaigning will tell you
why in a second now let me give you some background
on the revolving door the FCC not related to this issue but other issues
that affect her providers like Comcast there was Marissa
at will be Kors shoes a former FCC commissioner
and right after she allowed Comcast to
a merger with NBC she was a very important vote
as a commissioner on that William look at that she won I'm taking a high-level
obvious job for
Comcast what a wonderful coincidence
that wind up coincidently depositing probably millions of dollars over
several years in our bank account
probably not along several years Michael Powell also former FCC
by chairman i jus commissioner Bud chairman who do you work for right after
on when you look at that he's now lobbying for Comcast Time Warner Cable
merger
as the head the national cable and telecommunications
lobbying effort he went from the head of the FCC
to the head oh that's lobbyists group for those same
people that they were regulated so this is business as usual not when it comes
as he should net neutrality
where do we stand there well let me give you a long list the people and by the
way there are at least a dozen others I'm just giving you some of the
highlights here
a people that are now the FCC and where they used to work
burning cars and adviser to FCC Commissioner budget pie
now a jeep I have a/c Republican so it's not surprising to know that Brandon Carr
work for years as an attorney
to AT&T Centrelink horizon and the US telecom Association she I wonder which
way
he's going to pressure the FCC to go
of course it's going to be against net neutrality now let's go to Matthew down
the road he was brought into the FCC to work on net neutrality
well he's worked on that neutrality before for TDS Telecom and Internet
service provider
that has lobbied against net neutrality huh well
seems like a quince it as a man is a lot of people that use the lobby guess that
try another assigned FCC and they're gonna kill net neutrality
mmm letters anymore there's former ambassador Philip verveer he's a senior
counselor to FCC Commissioner Tom wheeler
he worked for are we look at that Comcast
the Wireless Association which the lobbying group and the national cable
and Telecommunications Association another lobbying group
all against net neutrality and look at this and other person inside the FCC
against
that betray ality and now how about Daniel our
so he's an interesting case he was hired directly under the cat FCC Chairman Tom
Wheeler who
President Obama brought in recently about a year ago well how would any
arbors work
he was an attorney representing alright Comcast
through willkie farr gallagher which was as law firm
in 2010 Alvarez wrote a letter to the FCC on behalf of Comcast's
protest thing net neutrality rules
so he works directly under Tom wheeler the head of the FCC
he already we or me know you want a letter saying of more Comcast saying
channel net neutrality about a bottle brings these guys will I want me me
he said protecting the Droid midnight me
okay here's what Albers both by the way road
about net neutrality in that letter he said that it was quote
socially beneficial discrimination
well that discrimination are you gonna have to destroy the Internet
it's socially beneficial at least it is to us
me so these are the guys that now
work at the FCC and she I wonder if they will rotate through that revolving door
and then go on again
more money later are from the same groups are using your money from before
hmm hard to tell all right now I that's not all comcast has also decided
to contribute to almost every single congressperson
3239 members of the House Judiciary Committee
there will be deciding whether these rules get through or not bill at least
be part of that process
want to cover your basis now how much money they spent lobbying just last year
18-point aid million dollars just last year alone
okay I'll but we're not done yet I mention Tom wheeler
and what his motivations might be he's absent chairman today
now I let's take a look at his resume see what's on
all he wasn't sure he's sure the FCC now he's previously president of the
national cable television association
that would be the major lobbying roofer cable
he was also the CEO the cellular technical telecommunications and
Internet Association
what we look at that that's another group that's in the same industry
that he was a chief lobbyist for a bottle those groups
are against net neutrality what a wonderful coincidence
now why do all this stuff happen why to President Obama who claim to be for net
neutrality
Laura perhaps EC including its head with people who are against net neutrality
00 hadn't heard from people to people because you know you believe it
Tom wheeler raise seven hundred thousand dollars during President Obama's to
presidential election campaigns
from I'm sure that had nothing to do with it
use even the mainstream media you mention 0 who's getting paid
hair by whom and the campaign contributions they say oh no no no no
these are all noble gentleman
how dare you besmirch the reputation ball ball ball pensions
by implying that the gumball of well guess what
that's exactly what I'm implying I'm not even implying
I'm saying in President Obama's a two-bit politician
bought off like the rest of them he told you
sweet little lies our about how is gonna protect net neutrality
and any put in people that he knows are against net neutrality
and now they are guarding net neutrality because they don't want equality
they want a system that protects the already powerful
you think Barack Obama's against the system this system made him rich
powerful
president commander-in-chief made him the most powerful man on earth
he doesn't hate this system he loves the system
he's the captain of this system so of course he brought a guy would game seven
hundred thousand dollars
and that guy is gonna do the bidding of the people who were given to millions of
dollars to be there chief lobbyist
for his entire career this is not a surprise anybody
this other systems cruisers by the way we about a year ago when he was
appointed by President Obama you should have seen how ecstatic
the lobbyists a group and the internet providers in their
cable companies and all those guys were broadband
so where I put out a press release can I was eight other lobbying group
that is against that rowdy we applaud President Obama
on his nomination or Tom wheeler to be the next FCC Chairman
that's when you know we were already screwed jenin for the next year there
are gee I wonder which we tommy was gonna go oh golly gee I don't know what
was going on point where one might go either way
Jim the coney ATT's lobbying in policy arm
a head said at the time I've known Tom wheeler
for many years and he is an aspire to pick to lead FCC
and inspired picked by Obama and I love this guy's at the time a year ago when
they were writing about this on the verge
other person wrote article wrote then again Wheeler has been selected by
Democrat who by all appearances in
wouldn't be looking to install a big business apologists
I raw %um bob no see that's a fundamental misunderstanding
by the press they think Obama is a democrat a progressive
see that's the last point in this the yet understand it's really dangerous
because that be near is exactly what allows Obama
10 got all reform to go against
change to be in favor this tablet spent
while no one notices about we notice rate
you know as a program the Yonkers notice as an audience you know it
the whole internets on fire about this issue you really angry
but when you turn on mainstream television are they talking about this
not in the same guys
sprayed they don't mind this day like this and
they say no no it's okay eat that could have been a pro-business decision
it could be many as the american people is because Obama made a decision
so must be a populist progressive
democratic position it's not it's the exact
opposite that's why a lot of ways President Obama
is more dangerous that someone at least you can see coming like George W Bush
you with that dude stood Obama a
is change I'm outside continuity on the inside
and in this case he just made it worse than Bush
