One of the many numerous positives of President Trump assuming office is now we have control again of the FCC. And the new chairman of the FCC is a friend of ours, Brendan Carr. Brendan, welcome to the program. Brendan, let's set the table. Reintroduce the audience to what the FCC is and does.
Yeah, thanks so much. Great to be with you again, Charlie. So the FCC, probably the easiest way to think about it is we're sort of a mini Congress almost for tech and telecom issues. So Section 230, which has been abused by big tech companies to censors in the Communications Act. So we have a role there. We regulate media broadcasters. So all those local broadcasters are licensed by the FCC to operate in the public interest. But for the last decade or so, the FCC has walked away from enforcing that public interest standard. We have a role to play on national security as well, and also the airwaves. So when you turn your smartphone on, you want it to work, you want it to be fast.

He also issued an executive order calling for agencies to look at private sector DEI practices that violate. federal law. We've been doing both of those at the FCC. Day one at the FCC, I issued an order that ended the FCC's own promotion of DEI.
How is the FCC tackling DEI and broadcaster regulations?
We were spending at the FCC alone millions and millions of dollars promoting DEI. We had DEI listed as our second highest strategic priority, promoting DEI ahead of empowering consumers, ahead of global competitiveness, ahead of sort of operational excellence at the FCC. No, promoting DEI was the FCC's second highest priority. We've shut all that down. One thing I'm doing now is I'm going through all these companies that the FCC regulates. Disney owns ABC, which is a licensed broadcaster by the FCC. And I got to tell you, what we're seeing there, Charlie, is unbelievable. The initial indications are
