First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Rick Laubscher dated March 30, 2017 The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.

    National Radio Award winner: Charles Warfield JM: If we go back in time what was it that attracted you to this business in the first place? CW: Well I have to say honestly Jack it was more or less being in the right place at the right time. My professional training is in finance and accounting and certainly not in the communica- tions. I started out in this business as a controller so it was an opportunity when I started to be a controller of a growing broad- cast company, Inner City Broadcasting in New York City. To be affiliated with a media company that you listen to on the radio was a great opportunity at that point for me. JM: Now you started at the same company you’re at but you were off to several other places along the way, what brought you back to the place of origination in a much higher position? CW: When I left Inner City Broadcasting back in 1989 I guess it was I really felt at that point that I had been in the company for 12 years and I felt there was a lot more that I needed to learn about broadcasting and had an opportunity to move to a number of other companies over an 11 year period which certainly broadened my understanding of all different aspects of our industry.

Only weeks earlier they had opened the 114th Congress with a Senate majority for the first time in eight years, as well as a fattened majority in the House, where they had ruled since 2011 – full control of the legislative branch for the first time in Barack Obama’s presidency. Yet in reality, Republicans were out of control. They only had themselves to blame, and many did. So unhappy was Representative Charlie Dent, a six-term Pennsylvanian and one of the few surviving Republican moderates, he emerged from a private party caucus in January to share with reporters waiting outside the complaint he had made to colleagues behind closed doors: “Week one, we had a speaker election that did not go as well as a lot of us would have liked.

INTRODUCTION Michael Powell, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from 2001 to 2005, will likely be most remembered for his controversial indecency enforcement actions against Howard Stern’s radio show and Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction.”1 This legacy is probably deserved. In addition to these high-profile enforcement actions, Michael Powell imposed a higher total fine amount in 2004 for broadcast indecency than the amount imposed during the previous ten years combined.2 Many have alleged that Powell’s enforcement actions were politically motivated stunts made on behalf of powerful special interests.3 Some have argued that the enforcement actions have had a chilling effect on free speech in broadcasting.4 A few have even maintained that the FCC has used its licensure power to discourage owners of television and radio stations from challenging its indecency ∗ Keith Brown is an economist at the Center for Naval Studies; Ph.D.
