let's not forget marsha blackburn. just think for a moment, folks, could you imagine any of these people being the president of the united states? nah. they wasted no time attacking the real president of the united states and the affordable care act. first up, canadian senator ted cruz from texas. cruz wants every single word -- don't leave anything out. every single word of obamacare wiped off the books. >> today, obamacare is at its lowest approval rating it's ever been since the day it was signed into law. the result of millions of american and women standing up and saying obamacare is a disaster, it is not working, it is hurting millions of americans. i am convinced we are going to repeal every single word of obamacare. [ applause ] >> false, false, and even more false. cruz is flat-out wrong on all levels there. first, support for obamacare is up nine points since november. seven and a half million people now have health insurance. so what is cruz going to do with 7.5 million people, just get rid of them? throw th

a co-sponsor of marsha blackburn's bill. this has been a great driving private market place and has been great for consumers and families and the government trying to intervene only makes it more difficult. >> host: you mentioned the government can't keep up with the changes we are seeing. is it time to revamp the 1996 telecom act? >> guest: it absolutely time. congress goes back and looks at the laws because changes are coming fast thch. for the cable act, when you look at the revolution happening, the system doesn't exist anymore. big screen tvs now instead of consules. the brick phone was the smart phone back in the day and now you can watch streaming on your phone and any television show that was on last night. and the laws are built for things that don't include satellite or any other market. you had tv with rabbit ears and that was the way people watched tv back in the 1990's. now it is dramatically different. there are some people that don't have tv's because they watch it on their smart phone, laptops or i-pads. it n

joining us this week, marsha blackburn and steve scalise, both republicans, both members of the energy and commerce committee, as well as jared polis, a congressman and democrat from colorado. first up, here's steve scalise. representative scalise, when it comes to telecom bills and the fcc, what's sure general philosophy, your approach? >> guest: my philosophy is that one of the things that we've seen in terms of great innovation, job creation and technology in the technology industry is the fact that technologies move so fast that government hasn't figured out how to regulate it and slow it down. and that's something that, i think, has been a great hallmark of an industry that has really been a success story in our economy, but also something that's given people so many great things to do to help change their lives. i mean, what technology's done especially in the video marketplace has been revolutionary, and in large part it's happened because the government hasn't figured out how to slow it down. when you look at what the fcc proposes many times, we've had some pushback because we

us, representative marsha blackburn. active ineen very telecom issues. why has that taken on a special resonance with you? >> it is so important to my district, and it's important to freedom. look at how we utilize electronic communications now. it's the backbone of our communications process. when we have an activist, fcc, and they are trying to reach in and control more of what people are hearing or how they are receiving their information, that causes concern. >> a brand-new build you have introduced dealing with net neutrality? >> yes. the internet freedom act. cannot that the fcc implement net neutrality rules. warm, fuzzy name they have given to what they want to do to control the access to the the providersway and users utilize the internet system. dipping into how you nuanced your speeds and how you prioritize value and content. this is not a new something the fcc is trying. they have had legislation in congress, and congress said no to net neutrality rules. then they decided they would do a rulemaking, and give a net neutrality order, which they

here you have marsha blackburn said no we are leading the fight for equal pay for women but republicans blocked that in the senate. a lot of people think the administration, frank rich, pushed this issue knowing they couldn't get it passed but they thought it would make a great issue in the coming campaign. what is your sense of that? >> i think you are right. i think that's right. with that said, what congressman blackburn said is incredibly disingenuous when she talks about how republicans have led on women's rights. she is right when she is talking about republicans of sort of prethe shipley era, they were indeed champions of the suffragettes movement and helped in many cases, including the bush family and the goldwater family were involved with the founding of chapters of planned parenthood, but this hasn't been true for decades and clearly they are on the defensive and the democrats are going to use every issue they can involving women to keep them on the defensive because they know how it worked and -- in the last election and they know how quickly republican office holders are to

lou: joining us now, marsha blackburn. a member of the house budget committee and it is great to have you with us. i have to ask you, what in the world, that was such a precious little statement. >>he american people are so tired of hearing get this tight rhetoric, looking at an issue, this is an issue we cannot seem to get addressed in a way american people like to see addressed with criminal interest being handled with those who have overstated their visa exiting the country. that requires ice to go through reforms. people would like to see an orderly process and to say we will not do anything and make it a political issue. i think it is really sad. lou: i said i fully support and endorse the house judiciary committee chairman's incremental approach to immigration reform putting forward for bills for his committee keeping the condition that we secure the borders reasonably so. this is not a complicated issue. people willing to accept less than a full load here, this could have been resolved 10 years ago. >> it could have

. >> this weekend, marsha blackburn of tennessee had this to say about the war on women. >> i find thisar on women rhetoric just almost silly. it is republicans that have led the fight for women's equality. go back through history and look at who was the first woman to ever vote, elected to office, go to congress. >> but why did the senate republicans block this? >> well, because the legislation was something that was going to be helpful for trial lawyers. we're all for equal pay. i would love for women to be focused on maximum wage, and i have fought to be recognized with equality for a long time. a lot of us get tired of guys condescending to us. >> michael steele is the former chair of the republican national committee and political analyst. and michelle bernard is the president of the bernard center for women, politics and public policy. thank you both for joining us. you know, i was watching -- you know, history is a funny thing, michael and michelle. when marsha blackburn, i thought she really made a mistake saying that rankin was this wonderful fighter for women's rights all that

i want to go back to what marsha blackburn said. first of all, she doesn't know what she's talking about. and second of all, she's basically slandering sylvia matthews burwell and saying she's coming in to cook the books. this is a very well respected centrist numbers person. she was confirmed 96-0 when she was put in charge of the office of management and budget. she's respected throughout washington. john mccain welcomed her appointment, her nomination. so to just come out the gate and say this woman is going to lie to us before she's even been confirmed is bad for them. it definitely puts her in the good company of donald trump, birther in chief, and now he's obama care truther in chief. >> congressman, joan raises a good point. she was confirmed unanimously to her post as budget director. republicans look like they're gearing up to fight her on this nomination. listen to this. >> kbtoday, seeing the disaster the train wreck that is obama care, in my view, the it's the essence of pragmatism to acknowledge this thing isn't working

coming woman marcia blackburn is leading that charge. she joins us now. sue. >> good to see you, thank you thanks. >> president clinton doesn't think this is good idea either. where are we on this. >> where we are on this is that the department of commerce, which oversees this contract. it's called the iana contract. they have changed their mind. they had previously said giving control of ican which is the association of for internet numbers and names giving that over to an international body or making it free of governance, reducing that contract. and, greta, what we have been able to do is get them now to agree to step back from that and continue to hold that contract and have that body located here. it's important for free speech and it is important for the continued freedom of the internet. >> well, i have two thoughts though. one is pause we have seen countries like turkey trying and china. that's right. >> do everything they can to step all over rights of free speech. something we enjoy in this country. the over parts i don't get is that we develop

here's marsha blackburn who seems to be toying with a 2016 campaign of her own. here she is taking a direct shot at the common core education standards, something for which jeb bush has been a vocal advocate. >> the unions don't want charter schools. they want a happy meal education. dumb down. equal portions for everybody. that is what they would like. we need to fight those unions. we need to fight for charter schools, and while we're at it, let's replace it with common sense. >> there were boos there. they were directed at jeb bush's stand. he spent most of last week positioning himself as a bill clinton of the gop. but that is not at all what the republicans in new hampshire were looking for. to hear republicans attacking jeb bush underscores the point. a tension between id logical purity and general election appeal. today's republican party willing to acknowledge that? joining us now is casey hunt, who was in new hampshire at the freedom summit this weekend. casey, thank you for being here. i know it's been overwhelming for you. >> hey, you know, lots to tal
