of cooperation, and one of those was a broadband deployment. ,hat have you and your chairman marsha blackburndiscussed along these lines? mr. doyle: we want to see more broadband deployment. part of this involves how we ease some of the regulatory burdens, especially on federal lands and other ways. we want to make sure if we do and infrastructure bill that broadband is part of that infrastructure. the senate i believe has $20 billion in their proposal or infrastructure. i think that is a good start. we want to make sure we not only hit unserved areas but that we also deploy in underserved areas. many of us that represent urban areas still have parts that are underserved and we want to make sure that is part of the formula as the go forward. i think there is a basis for bipartisan cooperation on that, and i have expressed that to chairman blackburn, and i think that is something we can certainly work on together. has this latepye in the version two subsidy policies a little bit that could help consumers that would not be able to afford broadband, the money to do so. do you have any concerns t

was marsha debate blackburn of tennessee. here is what she had to say about the changes. finalized its broadband rules. at that time, they are short us that the rules would provide broadband customers meaningful choice, greater transparency and stronger security protections for their personal information collected by internet service providers. but the reality is much different. there are three specific problems with which the fcc has gone about these rules. unilaterally swiped jurisdiction from the federal trade commission. has served as our nation's soul online provider for 22 years heard having two privacy cops -- and will end up harming consumers. third, the fcc already has authority to enforce privacy obligations of broadband service providers on a case-by-case basis. these broadband privacy rules are unnecessary and just another example of big government overreach. the competitive enterprise institute estimates that federal regulations cost our economy $1.9 trillion in 2015 since president trump took office, republicans have been working diligently to loosen the reg

congresswoman marsha blackburn said it will be a top priority for them. but also the trump administration is talking about immigration reform, rolling back the affordable care act, there are a lot of key policy issues for the next administration that seem to take a lot of the air out of the room. how likely do think congress can actually get some of the neutrality regulated legislation through? dr. singer: i am fairly confident. i think that now is the time to do it. it is the tendency when you are in power to inflict maximum pain on your enemies. but i think if people can step back and realize they are not always going to be in power and sometimes the other party will be in power, it might make sense to find a compromise and bring this to an end and move on. peter: hal singer and lydia beyoud, thank you for being on "the communicators." dr. singer: thank you for having me. >> c-span where history unfold daily. in 19 79, c-span was created as a public service by americans america television companies and brought to you today by your cable or satellite pro

what have you and your chairman, marsha blackburn, discussed along this line?guest: well, both of us agree that we want to see more broadband deployment and also, you know, part of this involves how we, you know, ease some the regulatory burdens especially on federal lands and other ways. we want to make sure that if we do an infrastructure bill, that broadband is a part of that infrastructure. the senate, i believe, has $20 billion in their proposal for infrastructure. i think that's a good start. we want to make sure that we not only hit unserved areas, but that we also deploy in underserved areas. many of us that representer urban areas like -- represent urban areas like pittsburgh still have parts of my district that are underserved, and we want to make sure that's part of the formula as we go forward. but i think there's a basis for bipartisan cooperation, and i've discussed that with chairman black burn, and that's something we can certainly work on together. >> chairman pai has displayed a bit of an aversion to subsidy policies a little bit that could he

we had marsha blackburn on the show. she got all twisted up trying to keep it alive saying reasons why you need the wall and that congress will find a way to deal with it fiscally. nobody saying they want the wall and nobody saying they are going to find a way for mexico to pay for it. >> donald trump on the campaign trail was and who's going to pay for the wall and the audience would say mexico. but anyone familiar with the way in which the federal government works knew, number one, we can't make mexico pay for the wall, breaking news, and number two, the congress as constituted, particularly with republicans in control, isn't going to say, you need $1.4 billion? no problem. the republican party, at least in theory built its case on fiscal responsibility on the need to drive down the debt, on the need to slash government spending. i just don't know that there is $1.4 billion for a wall. i certainly am suspect there is 13 or $20 billion, which is the estimated cost, all based on a just trust me promise from donald trump

isn't telling you that this condo was built on an ancient indian burial ground-- ( laughter ) marsha blackburnng we all want to protect, and consumer privacy will continue to be protected and will actually be enhanced by removing the uncertainty and confusion these rules will create. >> stephen: i know what's in her search history, "how to spout bull ( bleep )." ( cheers and applause ) even worse, this new law says internet providers no longer have to protect customer information against hackers and thieves. okay, that's like a hotel saying, "yeah, you can stay here, but heads up-- we don't lock the doors. also, we sell videos of you masturbating. you want to buy one? we'll call it 'entertainment partners' on your bill." frankly, i feel sorry for who actually gets to look at america's search history. someone at a cable company-- someone at comcast. right now there's a comcast employee whose job it is to look at america's search history. and i believe we have some footage of that now. ( cheers and applause ) but at least-- he's fine! he's fine, yeah. really exfoliating. ( laughter ) but at leas

i want to bring in republican congressman marsha blackburn.ing, congressman. >> good morning. >> first, i want to start with some video of president trump throughout the campaign talking about the importance of the wall. >> we will build a great wall along the southern border. we're going to build a wall. it's going to be built. build that wall! build that wall! >> we know how important the wall is to president trump and many of his supporters. in the beginning we heard mexico was going to pay for it, and then congress would and mexico would pay back. it was going to be part of the budget. and now it looks like it's going to be pushed off. where do you think it stands? >> i think that it stands in process. and it's so interesting, stephanie, to look at how coalition has come together, that really wants security on the southern border. individuals that are fighting opioid abuse and are trying to get a handle on the opioid and heroin epidemic, they're saying secure the southern border. you're hearing from individuals that are fighting gangs in n

joining me marsha blackburn from tennessee.is just window dressing or could this be that t president and speaker ryan are moving more towards the freedom caucus, more towards flat-out appeal of obamacare? >> what you're seeing is a movement toward a concensus bill, stuart. yes, indeed, i think that it's very close. and there are many of us who have continued to work on this process to find the commonalties and the agreement and find a way forward to get this off the books. stuart: how close? if you say very close and the president is working on it and rand paul. all right, how close? can you give me any kind of time frame? >> sure, it would not surprise me if we didn't have an agreement and concensus this week, move forward, reopen consideration on the bill and amend it appropriately, get it over to the senate. bear in mind, the vote that we take in the house is a vote to send it to the senate, so that they can begin their process, and then we will go into a conference to get the bill right. stuart: sure. >> get it finalized an

and said that they are closer than ever to getting a deal on health care representative marsha blackburnesterday, said they are working day and night maybe just maybe there will be a health care bill on the president's before congress i should say by end of this week. so it is not entirely out of the question. i agree with you dagen a long shot, that is for sure. but it has been put on the table by the variety of sources out of d.c. imagine for one brief shining moment suppose that -- well suppose there was a health care bill before congress on friday just suppose and on very same day, neil gorsuch becomes next supreme court justice would be quite a week for president trump. wouldn't it? it is one and a half of that is going to happen i wondered about the other half on health care. >> call me cynic i wondered if doing this for show? because it makes them just even if it doesn't go anywhere, on the health care bill, it just makes them look more competent. >> makes them look like the party of government. it makes republicans look the legitimate party of government are trying to do somethin

>> you have marsha blackburn saying yesterday, actually wall, fence, it could be a combination of the two. >> talking about blimps and drones, i don't know wild coyotes with cameras on their heads. >> am i the only one thinking -- when i say mulvaney, he says one thing and the president of the united states says another thing. >> and sean disseminates it. >> it's almost as if there's a staff level basically saying, no, there's not going to be a wall right now. the president saying there's going to be a wall. >> like nikki haley, she speaks a completely different language. >> i'm miming it. >> she's pretty good at that. >> you can't really see it, but it will be there. >> don't do that because people are going to be stuck to that. >> it's a wall. you just can't see it. is that dirty. >> no. >> what did i do. >> president trump, you're right, sometimes she does act moronic. >> i'm miming a wall. is that dirty? jen? >> you're good. >> i got a signal for you. >>> still ahead on "morning joe" -- >> are we done? is that it? >> clearly. >> kasie hunt, you chime in on the wall. what are they
