• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg b NA, joining us from Arlington, Virginia. Bloomberg b
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: NA a wholly owned subsidiary of Bloomberg, a leading source
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of legal, regulatory and business information for professionals. Bloomberg Bonna's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: authoritative coverage spends a full range of legal practices, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in this case, we're paying attention to the Federal Communications
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Commission delaying today's vote on a contentious proposal to open
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the pay TV set top box market to competition. Kyle,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for being with us outline exactly
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: what is at stake here and what did or did
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: not happen today? Sure, so, this proposal would open the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: set top box market to third parties. What that means
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is the sort of big, clunky set top box that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you rent from Comcast or Time Warner, Cable or Charter. Uh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he would be able to replicate that experience on a Roku,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: some drive or you know, any sort of third party
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: device that plogs into your TV. UH. So there's been
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth about this for months now,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and um SEC Chairman Tom Wheeler finally arrived at UH
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: for revision of an earlier proposal that would adopt an
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: app space approach, which which just means, you know, again,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a Comcast did make an app that replica it's that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: whole experience of flipping around channel the channel and then
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Google or Roku or whoever would be able to put
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that into their device. Now there UH was still a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: provision in there that would get the SEC involved in licensing,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and you know, we're trying to do some te f
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: reading because it was a pretty closed process. But what
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: seems to be happening is that that's kind of a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: sticking point and um there seems to be some willingness
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for for compromise, but they didn't quite get there in
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: time for a vote this morning. Okay, how this is
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and this and your story very clearly points out how
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: this licensing question is so central to the story. You
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: point out that in the hearing the Republican commissioners came
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: out against the licensing provision. The Democratic commissioner uh said,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: let me be candid with you problems with licensing. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: think this SEC is going a little bit too involved
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in the licensing here. She said, she did not see
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that the FCC has his authority. What is this about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the licensing language? Break this down for us. Why is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it so complicated and contentious? Well, that's that's another thing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that kind of makes this hard to track, is that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we don't know exactly. UM what's been released so far
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is a fact sheet that just kind of says, okay,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: here's what we would do. So what they would do,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: as far as you know, anyone outside the SEC it
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: can understand, is they would set some sort of standard
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: for UM licensing between U copyright owners and PAPD providers
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and then sort of how you know, just have a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: standard there and then create an independent oversight board. UM.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So that basically to ensure that these devices are sticking
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to the terms of licensing agreements between copyright holders and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a comcast or or a charter UM, and you ensure
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that that those aren't violated and make sure that sort
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of licensing across the board seems to be you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: reasonable and and sort of you know, all parties are
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: happy with it. Beyond that, we don't know exactly how
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that would work. What we do know is that, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we've gotten used to UH in the last few years
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to become a very partisan fec um. Most items sort
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of fly under the radar and still you know, pass
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: UH without too much ceremony. But we see a lot
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of especially on on these sort of big ticket things
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of a split votes where the Democratic majority votes one
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: way the Republicans stow it the other way. Daily thank
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you so very much for joining us. The senior reporter
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for Bloomberg b n A joining us to talk about
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the fccs UH decision on a contensius proposal to open
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the pay TV set top box market market. Cat joins
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: us now Politics and national cover reporter for Bloomberg News
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and Mark, I'm want to dive in to one of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: our latest Bloomberg polls and stories. Hillary Clinton's turnout challenge
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: seems like in some ways that could be bigger than
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: her Donald Trump challenge. Yeah, I'm particularly among certain groups
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that she really needs to be behind her. Uh, if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: she's gonna win in key battleground states, and that is millennials,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: younger voters, and African American voters. You know, the polls
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: consistently show that these uh, two groups you know overwhelmingly
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: back her, like her better than Donald Trump, but they're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: less likely to vote. There's there's not as much enthusiasm
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in some cases among millennials. UM, when you introduced the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: third party option, they're more likely to vote third party
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: than they are to vote for Clinton, even if they
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: don't like Donald Trump. Is that really gonna hurt Clinton
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in the outcome? When you look at electoral votes, it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: couldn't matter, Like I said, in some of these battleground states.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm based in Ohio, and that's definitely a concern here
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that if you have a close race. It was always
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going to be close. In Ohio. It's a you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: closely divided state. You know, if you lose a couple
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of percentage points that you normally would get or that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know, Barack Obama got in and two thousand and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: eight when he carried the state, UM, that could make
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a difference. Clinton going to carry Ohio, it's gonna be close. Um.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You know, the Clinton campaign acknowledges that Donald Trump has
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: some strength here that among the battleground states. You know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he might be doing better in states like Ohio and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Iowa than he is in some of the other battleground
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: states just because of the demographics in the state, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the number of older, white working class voters here, voters
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: without a college degree. Um. So that's part of the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: challenge for the Clinton campaign. They sort of have to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: make up for whatever advantage that Trump might have in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: terms of appeal in the state with sort of this
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: ground game where she does have an advantage and a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: more robust operation to sort of get her supporters to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the polls. So mark the story to talks about and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: many have that one thing that's obvious. Younger you are,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the less you tend to vote period. Okay, but it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: also been an issue for Hillary Clinton, say compared to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, right that she doesn't there's a worry about
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the millennial vote. So in some sense you could say, uh,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: why worry about them anyway, They're not going to vote
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: as big big as numbers You're maybe not gonna Why
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: not concentrate on the part of the population, who's in
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the middle a little more on the fence, who does
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: tend to go to the polls and sway them to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: vote for you. I think they are doing that, But
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: they also just can't ignore the millennial voting block. It's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just such a large um segment of the voting population
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: now larger than Baby boomers, and you know, large enough
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to dissway a race if it's close. And I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that's the concern again, particularly in these battleground states, as
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: if you have a very close race on the margin,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: these things like where millennials vote or turnout in the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: African American community is can help decide who wins the state.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Can you tell us whether the government has decided to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: stay in business at least until the middle of December.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Congress Uh did send President Obama stop gat spending bill
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. UH. That's going to keep the government open
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: at least through December nine. You know, they'll have to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: pick up after the election in terms of what happens
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the fiscal year. But there have
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: been some you know, debate and concern about you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: what Congress was gonna do, uh, particularly when it came
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to funding for things like the zeco virus. There was
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: some fight over whether, UM, that should be tied to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: restricting funding for planned parenthood, which Democrats suppose for for example, UH,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and some other issues such as how to deal with
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: funding for lead abatement in places like Flint, Michigan. UH.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And at the end they sort of came to an
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: agreement that you know, if nothing else kicks the can
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: down the road till after the election. So will this
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: become any kind of political football in the remaining meets
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of the campaign. I don't think the funding of it will. Uh.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: You know, there might be still some discussion and arguments
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: about things like, you know, should the federal government be
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: paying for you know what ultimately our state or local
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: problems like the Flint water crisis UM, which is a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: blame largely on action and inaction by the state and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: local authorities there. You know, some Republicans think, well, that's
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: not really the federal government's job to step in and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: clean up the mess when it's not really a federal issue. UM.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So you might seek debate about that sort of in
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the astract. But in terms of funding the government, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: think we're probably kicking us beyond the elections. Just quick
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: final question. Do we know what Hillary Clinton or Donald
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Trump has said about that particular issue funding local issues.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I've seen that really addressed. You mean, they both talked
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: about the need to deal with the problem, and I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think both have talked about you in terms of federal
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: government being a partner. But I don't know if they've
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: gotten into sort of the devil of detail of how
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: much should be federal responsibility versus state or local. All Right,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: we think Mark Niquette joining us to talk politics, one
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: of our favorite subject heres. He's politics and national gun
