Broadband Breakfast: Is there anything on your mind that you want to discuss?

Carr: We are roughly four weeks into this. We're having an absolute blast, really enjoying it. We've come out of the box really quickly with a lot of initiatives. President Trump, I think, has really set the tone. He came in and issued a lot of Executive Orders. Most people come in and they think they can turn the ship a government one degree here, two degrees there. That's the most that they shoot for. But he's really sort of fundamentally transformed the direction of D.C., and I think it's fabulous to see.

Since the election, I've been down to Palm Beach/Mar-a-Lago probably four or five times and the president's always in a great mood.
