Face the Nation transcripts March 6, 2016: Trump, Cruz, Clinton, Priebus
DICKERSON: Mr. Trump, you're bringing a lot of new people into the Republican
Party, but some people are saying they want to leave the Republican Party too.
What is your message to those who want to leave? Is it, good riddance?
TRUMP: Well, I think they shouldn't leave. And I think they should get together and
I think everybody should be unified.
DICKERSON: What do you make of the effort to try and take the nomination away
from you, maybe even by going to the convention?
TRUMP: Well, I'm very surprised by it. And I'm very surprised hear about a third
party, because I'm going to appoint conservative judges. And a third party that
would mean that Hillary would win or whoever is going to be running, and you're
going to have liberal judges, probably as many as four or even five, if you can
believe that, during this period of time.
DICKERSON: They say they can't be in party with you as the head of it.
TRUMP: Well, I don't understand that. I get along with people. I'm a unifier. I'm very
much a unifier. And maybe people don't see that, but they will see that.
And my relationship to people has been great over the years. But, again, I'm new to
politics. I have been doing this now for seven months. I think I have done very good
job in seven months. But we have a tremendous number of people coming in and a
tremendous number of people showing up to vote.
DICKERSON: Let me ask you about unifier. In this very room, your big night

on Super Tuesday, you said about Paul Ryan that you hoped to get along with
him, but if you didn't -- quote -- "He's going to have to pay a big price." You
have also said about John McCain, he has to be very careful.

TRUMP: Well, if -- Paul Ryan, I think he would pay big price, because I think

you would really have a split party. I think you would have a very split party.
And he's done good job and unified -- and he's -- I may be more conservative
than him.
DICKERSON: A lot of people read that as a threat.
TRUMP: No, no, not a threat, not a threat. It's not a threat.
DICKERSON: Let me ask you about your position on torture. When you and I talked
last week, you said that General Hayden was wrong when he said that military
wouldn't follow you on the question of water-boarding and on the killing of terrorists'
families.
TRUMP: Well, you never asked me violating laws, in all fairness. You weren't

talking about violating laws.

Americas poor can now get cheaper Internet access
By Brian Fung March 31

Federal regulators have approved a historic expansion of subsidies for the poor, fleshing out for the first time a
set of Reagan-era discounts on phone service to include home Internet access.

The 3-2 vote by the Federal Communications Commission Thursday will let roughly 40 million Americans on
food stamps, Medicaid or other federal assistance register for and use an existing benefit worth $9.25 a
month to purchase broadband service, either as part of a voice bundle on cellular or fixed networks, or on a
standalone basis with no voice plan attached. Of those eligible for Lifeline, more than 13 million have no
Internet service, according to federal officials.

At a time when many Americans rely on the Internet to apply for jobs, take educational courses or look up
information online, a lack of affordable service prevents the country's poorest from accessing the same
opportunities as their wealthier peers, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said. Thursday's measure to update the
subsidy program, known as Lifeline, aims to narrow that gap.

"It's a simple concept: to provide assistance so that low-income Americans can access the dominant
communications network of the day," Wheeler said.

The move does not mean poor Americans will pay $9.25 a month for Internet. Rather, the program works by
providing a $9.25-a-month credit that can then be applied toward broadband, voice service or a mix of both.

The decision had broad support from consumer groups as well as the telecom industry, which was seeking a
more streamlined program. But before it had a chance to pass, a series of frantic, eleventh-hour negotiations
turned the scheduled vote into a desperate scramble by Democrats to preserve their coalition. The last-minute
issues very nearly derailed the measure, according to people familiar with the matter.
At the center of the fight was a defection by Democratic Commissioner Mignon Clyburn who spent the hours
leading up to the vote hammering out a different compromise with Republicans than the one favored by
Wheeler, the agency's top Democrat.
