Open in app View in browser   Presented By JPMorgan Chase & Co.   Axios PM By Mike Allen ·Dec 28, 2020 ⛷️ Good Monday afternoon. Today's PM — edited by Justin Green — is 549 words, a 2-minute read. ⚡ Breaking: President-elect Biden charged today that his transition's policy and management experts have "encountered obstruction from the political leadership" of the Pentagon: "[W]e aren't getting all the information we need ... in key national security areas. It's nothing short, in my view, of irresponsibility."     1 big thing: "Trumptalk" may outlast Trump Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios   Another Trump legacy: The days of major broadcasters fearing FCC fines for obscene language seem long gone. Why it matters: It's no longer uncommon to hear cable anchors use foul language or for TV or radio personalities to make indecent remarks on air, Axios' Sara Fischer and Margaret Harding McGill report. Beginning with Trump's campaign in 2015, networks had to consider how to cover obscenities in politics. The "Access Hollywood" tape forced networks to grapple with how to report newsworthy Trump remarks that weren't acceptable for broadcast TV. This year's barrage of unusual behavior and events also pushed networks to throw previously held standards out the window. Following the nightmarish first presidential debate, CNN's Dana Bash told millions of viewers: "That was a sh-t show." CNN reported on a secret recording of First Lady Melania Trump in which she used profanity. Between the lines: The FCC's last major enforcement was during the Obama administration. The agency proposed a $325,000 fine against a Roanoke, Virginia, TV station for including a sexually explicit clip in a story about an adult film star volunteering for the local rescue squad. What we're watching: Consumers increasingly get their programming from streaming — where FCC rules don't apply, anyway.     2. Caught on tape: White woman falsely claims Black teen stole iPhone Via Instagram A video shows an irate, insistent white woman falsely accusing the 14-year-old son of jazz musician Keyon Harrold, who is Black, of stealing her iPhone, the N.Y. Times reports (subscription). Harrold filmed the Saturday encounter in the lobby of the Arlo, a boutique hotel in SoHo. "This incident went on for five more minutes," Harrold wrote on Instagram, "me protecting my son from this lunatic. She scratched me; she Tackled and grabbed him. He is a child!!! Now watch it again." Reality check: "The hotel ... told Mr. Harrold that an Uber driver found her phone later in the day, and she picked it up from the hotel," the Times reports. When the woman confronts Harrold and his son, the musician says: "Are you kidding me? You feel like there's only one iPhone made in the world?!" "No! You just get a life! ... You better go use 'Find my iPhone.' Go do that!" 👀 Watch the video on Instagram.     A message from JPMorgan Chase & Co. The racial wealth gap holds back the U.S. economy     JPMorgan Chase is committing an additional $30 billion to advance racial equity. Why it's important: The economic inequality underlined by the racial wealth gap leaves Black and Latinx families further behind– putting a strain on the U.S. economy. A look into their long-term commitment.     3. Catch up quick Céline Gounder, an infectious disease expert and member of President-elect Biden's COVID-19 advisory board, told CNBC that Biden plans to invoke the Defense Production Act to boost production of PPE and coronavirus vaccines. Go deeper. Wall Street indexes closed at record highs after President Trump signed the COVID relief package. Go deeper. TSA set a pandemic-era screening record yesterday: 1.3 million people passed through checkpoints, as Christmas travelers ignored officials' pleas for Americans to stay home. But that's half the level from a year earlier. Go deeper.     4. 🏈 1 snow thing: Lambeau lurch Photos (clockwise from upper left): Mike Roemer/AP, Stacy Revere/Getty Images, Dylan Buell/Getty Images (2)   Green Bay Packers rookie running back A.J. Dillon had to persevere for his first Lambeau Leap — the Packer tradition of vaulting into the end-zone stands after a TD at Lambeau Field. It's harder in the snow. And not the same without fans, anyway. Dillon scored twice as the Packers trounced the Tennessee Titans, 40-14.     A message from JPMorgan Chase & Co. A new $30 billion commitment to advance racial equity     JPMorgan Chase makes new commitments to address the racial wealth divide and reduce systemic racism. Why it's important: Structural barriers in the U.S. have created deep racial inequalities, made worse by the impact of COVID-19.
