markey: thank you, mr. president.nd thank to senator collins for her longtime leadership on this issue. there is no more important issue in our country than the scourge of alzheimer's. my mother, like senator collins' father, both succumbed to alzheimer's. but today there are very few families in our whole country that do not have a similar story, some relative who has had alzheimer's. my mother was diagnosed and she was a brilliant woman. she was president of the senior class in high school. but her mother died, my grandmother, when my mother was 17, so she had to be the mother and raise her three younger sisters. so she never got to go to college. and she ultimately finished raising the first family, then at 37 married my farmering, who was a -- my father, who was a milk man and had me at 39 and my two brothers at age 40. then she raised us. now, my mother was a completely brilliant woman. she could do calculus for fun at the table even though she never had calculus in school. and my father used to say after my moth

senatesenator ed markey joins me now. so you have been calling for reforms the supreme court for some time. what is interesting to me about president biden using that time in a short speech is he talked about it. what did you think about that? >> i think it is much needed. it can be a major part of his legacy. justice scalia died. then barack obama could not get a confirmed supreme court justice for 11 months because they said you don't confirm them during presidential years. then in 2020 when justice ginsberg passed away from september 26 of 2020 to october 26th of 2020, they were able to confirm amy comey barrett. you can do it in the blink of an eye with the fear joe biden just might win that election so they stole two seats. the dobbs decision is the first installment. then the chevron decision. then the gun rights and presidential immunity. so everything that has happened thus far is a preview of coming atrocities from this supreme court. and so, my bill would expand the supreme court. it would say that two supreme c

. >> actual legislation has been pushed by people like senator ed markey. to get e- he's urging the judiciary act to get past and that would be a 13 justice supreme court of the united states. an expansion from 9 to 13. why such opposition to this? it's been done before, albeit a long time ago, but it's been done before and it invites more of a community of a discussion and a more balanced, i think, approach when it comes to dealing with some of the most momentous cases for the united states. >> people think that like this is like baseball where nine is some kind of sacred number. it ain't. the supreme court started with five, went to six, went to seven, went to nine, went to 10, then went back down to nine and that's where we've been for a while but there's nothing in the constitution that says there cannot be more justices than nine. and here's the key about markey's idea. here's the key about expanding the courts. the way that i put it, expanding the court is like giving an elephant a tranquilizer dart before you put on the radio tracking collar so you c

burleigh markey is the happiness of the people john adams puts in his defenses on government. he gets it from burleigh. james wilson writes it up in this piece called the essay concerning the extent of legislative authority, which i saw the pennsylvania historical society right before. it was so thrilling to see that first sentence. and then i thought, am i going to get this transcribed? i look and gosh, the quill project put it online. it was just so cool so i could go through, follow what we footnotes and see that had that document by his side. and of course he had george mason's virginia declaration of rights, which whose preamble sounds an awful declaration and talks about the pursuit of happiness. so it's so important. all this is this is not some academic thesis i'm putting forward this. it's it's absolutely lousy with the idea that every single moral source on which the founders relied from these different traditions all use phrase and they all have you ask, what does it mean? they have similar conception of it. there's a remarkable unanimity of of what it doesn't mean

and i say to my colleagues who have worked hard centers of blumenthal and blackburn, markey and cassie durbin, klobuchar cantwell and others, thank you. but thank you above all to the parents who advocated so tirelessly for these bills. i sat with them i've heard the terrible stories children, teenagers perfectly normal but some algorithm captures them online by accident they end up committing suicide shortly thereafter. i've heard those stories. can you imagine being a parent living without. so wear have to do something and these parents have turned their grief into grace. these parents are the reason we succeeded today. today the senate tells the parents we hear you we are taking action. i am so glad to have a broad bipartisan know it let partisanship get in the way of passing this important legislation.at this is a historic moment. this is a moment when the senate hasho said there have been horrible abuses weust end them and we will. >> by vote o 91 -- three senate passed to online safety bills that would provide better protection for people under the age of 17 but barring targeted

one of them, ed markey, offers to listen to his commentary on this matter right now. when i was with vice president garis in provincetown yesterday, the audience response to her presence and speech was explosive. it was a year. reactions in decibels that are very rarely seen in politics. i've been there, i've witnessed it, and i think we'll soon see it across the country as soon as kamela harris begins her presidential campaign. i know her talent, her genius, i think that now the whole country will be ready to support her. our candidate should be kamela harris. it has been resolved. we can debate who should be vice president, but not who should be our presidential candidate. kamela garis deserved this nomination and she will. the best candidate, we just need to unite the democratic party around kamela harris and defeat donald trump. we have heard very similar voices from some delegates as well, who note that they will vote for everything kamla harris. we also heard a comment from the head of the democratic party in pennsylvania, who also noted his support for kabylis.

and so ed markey now, senator mark, he was then representative markey from massachusetts. he he proposed a bill it came to be called coppa, the child childhood online privacy protection was passed in 1998. i believe, and in his original bill it said, well, 16, he got 16. you know, i mean, 18 is the obvious choice at kids can sign contracts and they're adults. but he thought, you know, the way the internet is going, you know, at 16, you should be able to be on aol and talking to strangers and giving away your data without, your parent's knowledge or permission. you are treated as an adult on the internet. 16. so he proposes this. and then of course, the tech companies hate it. you know, i know it was aol, whichever ones were the ones that were being limited here with their access children, they hated it. they opposed it. and they teamed up. they were able to find some who were advocating for children's rights. you know what? if what if what if a 13 year old wants to get an abortion? should she not be able to, you know, go on anonymously? so you had this interesting coalitio

senators blumenthal and blackburn, markey and cassidy, and so many others. i made sure on both sides that members had plenty of time to offer their input, work through disagreements, and arrive at a consensus. and now, after months of hard work, is the moment -- the moment to act has arrived. the senate should pass these bills swiftly. nothing has galvanized me and so many others of us here in the senate more to acts on kids online safety than meeting with parents who've lost loved ones. over the past month i met with many parents, from new york and around the country, whose kids took their own lives because of what happened to them on social media. some of these kids were bullied. others were targeted by predators or had their personal, private information stolen. practically all suffered deep mental health anguish in some way and felt like they had nowhere to turn. in far too many cases, their suffering ended in tragedy, as they took their own lives. i can't comprehend the pain these parents felt. no one would fault them if they hid away, if they mourned t

senator ed markey said the ruling would create "a regulatory black hole that destroys fundamental protectionsr every american in this country." meanwhile, thursday, the justices voted 5-4 to block the environmental protection agency's good neighbor plan, which allows the epa to regulate air pollution that drifts across state lines. in a statement, earthjustice wrote -- "the court's order puts thousands of lives at risk, forces downwind states to regulate their industries more tightly, and tells big polluters that it's open season on our environmental laws." the supreme court had to issue a corrected version of its opinion in the case after justice neil gorsuch confused the air pollutant at issue, which is nitrogen oxide, with nitrous oxide. actress oxide is laughing gas, which dentists administer. he said this more than five times. this is no laughing matter. this all comes as the two years after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade in its dobbs ruling and before today' highly anticipated ruling on former president donald trump's bid for immunity in his federal indictment. for more, we're

what is absurd there he's never read the myths and so many of its ancient his ancientgods they were markeyordinary marks of violence. the christian churches looked at the ancient myths saw all these problematic depictions of ultimate reality. christianity proposes a god who is indeed a god of love. of forgiveness, compassion and nonviolence. i am sorry do not select the ancient gods. you think that the symbol of nonviolence? i recommend you go back and read the text. here's what really bugs me. if we keep mocking christianity what will happen when, in our culture people no longer hear the story of the prodigal son? they no longer the story of the good samaritan? they no longer see the depiction of the last supper for what it is for they for the no longer se crucified christ. what will happen to our culture would know things are mocked out of existence? i think the culture will suffer enormously from that. >> hear a lot about islamic phobia anti-semitism, must all be roundly condemned. but i look back to mayor rudy giuliani was mocked back when he was mayor for fighting against a brooklyn m

senator ed markey said it was a k sign of rising concerns of tech companies on capitol hill. >> it'surgeon general's warning about the mental health crisis with young people in our country. everyone knows now it's time to finally take on big tech and to put these protections on the books. >> the package is made up of two bills. now, one would ban targeted advertising to kids, limiting data collection and require that companies create this erase function to remove any information. the other bill would require platforms to mitigate -- microsoft and snap has backed that package. meta said the best way for parents to monitor kids is to require parental signoff. supporters are hoping the strong vote will speed passage in the house where the speaker said he needs to look at the details of the bill but he suspects it will have a lot of support. >> emily, thanks. >>> speaking of big tech, microsoft is on pace for its second monthly loss of the year, and my next guest says it's the first real test of large language model montization. joining me now is kim forest. welcome. what do you expect?

. #### blumenthal, ed markey, the people speaking, but they spent more than 20 years without passinget regulation, while california, the state that we live in here, has led the way here in the united states and also globally on issues like privacy and even social media legislation. so this is the senate. remember stepping up to the plate and saying things like addictive algorithms, all the kinds of features design features that platforms like tiktok, youtube, instagram, etc. put on their platforms that addict your and my kids. and quite frankly, some adults will be held. they'll be held accountable for it. now it's 20 years in the making, which is pretty shameful, actually, that congress hasn't stepped up to the plate. but if passed by the house because now passed the senate, right, this would be the most important legislation in 20 years. >> what will the oversight look like if this does in fact become law? who is going to make sure that these tech companies are, in fact, taking these steps to protect children online? >> okay. good point. so that would be the ftc, the federal trade

also expected to vote on the children and teens online privacy protection act introduced by senators markey and cassidy. this bill prohibits internet companies from collecting personal information from the youngest users and establishes better safeguards to protect children's privacy. in short, it does what big tech has failed to do. it prevents big tech from tracking and targeting kids with the most addictive content possible. these are complex issues, and i want to commend my colleagues, senators blackburn and cassidy, for their work in this area. they managed to draft legislation that balances the first amendment rights of online users with the safety of our chi children. these bills are on the vernal of passing the senate -- on the verge of passing the senate, and that would not be the case without their dedication and tireless efforts. again, i'm proud to cosponsor these bills and i'm glad the senate will finally vote on them this week. they will make critical advancements to keep kids safe from the dangers lurking online and finally provide parents across the country with a little pea

slightly better news from the senate with senator markey of massachusetts saying he had conversationsd although it is important to say he has known joe although it is important to say he has knownjoe biden for nearly 50 years. the really significant thing that happened today was there was a report in the new york times by two very authoritative reporter is basically saying that key biden advisers believe he does need to step aside and the challenge they are facing is how do they persuade him to do that. what they are saying is they believe they have to convince joe is they believe they have to convincejoe biden of three things. firstly, that he cannot beat donald trump because he absolutely believes he still can. secondly, that somebody else, most likely vice president kamala harris can beat donald trump. on the third thing they think they have to do is persuade joe they think they have to do is persuadejoe biden that if he does say i won't be the nominee, that it could be an orderly transition to another nominee. crucial to say that his inner circle but not the absolute inner circle

massachusetts senator ed markey want to step beyond.s. the highest court in the land. >>became the source, all the lowest principles. >>in our land, republicans say democrats are only going after the justices because they don't like how the supreme court has ruled over the last 4 years. they've been hyper critical of the decisions made by the court rather than respecting all those decisions. republican texas senator john cornyn sits on the senate judiciary committee. any changes to the court would go through them if we were talking about a court, was it. >>nominated and confirmed under biden administration, they would just be fine with that. president biden has not formally announced his plan for the court in washington and today some lot. >>expands of the day for stocks after wednesday's huge selloff. plus, a big win for uber and lyft. here's david lazarus with money. smart. >>hey there after yesterday's huge sell-off on wall street, there was a lot of nervousness going into today's session. would the selling continue or with the barga
