joe kennedy/ed markey primary?to have to see what's going to happen. kennedy isn't in the race yet. someone close to him is telling me that he's going to weigh it over the next few weeks and make a decision. but i think kennedy getting into this senate primary could totally change the landscape of the race and it would make a lot of folks in massachusetts politics and in national democratic politics choose sides. >> it's interesting the question, and you remember it was ted kennedy running for president in 1980 who was tripped up by that roger mud question, why do you want to be president. the question is going to be asked to joe kennedy. he's been in washington for four decades on every sort of critical key litmus test, he's probably in alignment with where the sort of the party regulars are where the party base is. idealogically any clue, any sense what the justification would be for kennedy going after markey? >> well, it's going to have to be a generational argument if he does do it. they align pretty closely o

ed markey is as progressive as it gets. he's been in the box for 20 years. joe kennedy is only 38 years old. >> phil, you hear this argument from folks on markey's side. all democratic has to be taking on donald trump, this president. there is no room to waste that in a primary fight on any level. does that have residence with democratic voters? >> in massachusetts. i mean when we are looking a the map of all the competitive democratic primary in the senate. massachusetts is alone and having incumbent democrats. that's a pick up opportunity. it is not about ideology and you are seeing candidates in those races along with potential races in georgia and iowa. you use the electability argument. it is still over the fact of a presidential race when always seem to talk about who can beat donald trump. >> andrew, on ed markey, he actually reigns through the u.s. senate back in 1994. he was the race then. he backed out and john kerry ended up winning the seat there and markey wait to massachusetts. these openings does not come around often. that may be the calculati

>> i would say never bet against ed markey getting a privacy law through congress. he has been the sponsor of more federal privacy legislations than any person who has served in any body of congress, and he has served in both. he also has excellent relationships with the speaker and leaders in the house. if i'm looking at this, i think it would help federal privacy legislation if he got more involved in that process because he's good at cutting deals. i would assume that something is likely to happen on team privacy -- teen privacy. also because the ccpa has established a new set of requirement for teenage privacy. privacy exemptions predate stem -- preempt state law, if passed, it would capture the general requirements of the ccpa in it. looking ahead, and knowing the sponsor, i think we are likely to see something happen with regards to older teenage privacy. done -- and the ic has done great work, and hope they continue to have authority. but there are clearly some issues that can and probably will be addressed when legislation moves. >> whatever happens, we will

he's not discounting it, of challenging ed markey for the nomination, ed markey who was forever in theberal progressive senator in massachusetts and finally a senate seat opened up and won that senate seat. >> the problem you have with either deep blue or deep red states is the whole waiting your turn thing. there's no question in my mind that the next senator from massachusetts will be a democrat. so, look, he is an impressive candidate. he is from massachusetts. he doesn't want to wait. so, what am i going to say? i would like to see him do it. >> what does neera tanden say? what does this do to the democratic party? elizabeth warren we should point out endorsed markey in february, i believe, and there was a individuvideo they now rolled out. i don't think she ever anticipated that joe kennedy would be jumping ahead of the line and and joe kennedy has endorsed warren as has markey endorsed warren i think it's a generational argument. it isn't a deep ideological argument but more about who can carry the flame in this moment. i think one of the issues -- and this has been true of prima

the challenge will joe kennedy challenge ed markey?ur with ed markey and he would not take on joe kennedy. but he made clear if kennedy did run, he was staying in the race. that would create a titanic match between two well-known figures. and kennedy thinks as long as he keeps the door open in this state, he will probably have to run because the pullback will show weakness for a future race. if you don't run now, the lines will not be shorter down the road in a state full of liberals. >> you saw ayanna pressley knock off an incumbent. >> exactly. >> so i'm watching senator bernie sanders this weekend. today he will be in louisville, kentucky. tomorrow he will be in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. shows a larger, broader, primary strategy which i think all of the candidates other than for the most part vice president joe biden have to do. in 2016 sanders basically tied in kentucky with mrn hhillary cn for the primary so he got a bunch of delegates there. but he also has to play on the fact he's a senator and coming back to washington, d.c. an

to go after ed markey would disregard the service of a progressive democratic colleague who has spentmany good fights alongside the kennedys. senator markey who i've known for years and liked a lot has spent his years in public service taking the side of the consumer against the big corporations and in a larger sense, humanity for those who make the most doing the worst. to go off to do well in the private sector, while the senator himself sticks on with his commitment to looking out for the little guy. i would hate to see this commitment be threatened. the kennedys have built the most impressive record in american politics by championing the cause of the working families like ed markeys', the son of a milk man, to turn around and run against someone who has spent his life in alliance with the kennedys and their causes doesn't seem right. and that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us.

massachusetts congressman joe kennedy confirmed he's considering running against sitting senator ed markey year's state democratic primary. in a facebook post, the 38-year-old grandson of robert f. kennedy said he has not reached a decision and will spend the next couple of weeks discussing a campaign with supporters. yesterday he filed a statement of candidacy with the federal election commission. >>> and our partners at the bbc report on a vast raft of volcanic pumice rock drifting through the pacific ocean. it's a sight to behold here. 58 square miles of the stuff were first reported by an australian couple sailing their catamaran to fiji. they were temporarily stuck after the rocks jammed their rudder. experts say the pumice probably came from an underwater volcano. sailors have been warned to steer clear of the area. >>> the latest fast food restaurant to go meatless. starting today the colonel will be testing nuggets and wings made with plant-based poultry. ith plant-based poultry. here's another cleaning tip from mr. clean. cleaning tough bathroom and kitchen messes with sprays and

lefty at all so i'd like to see him you know have a shot at it doesn't mean necessarily wins but ed markey is certainly had a distinguished career not taking anything away from him but i'd love to see joe kennedy in that race if we knew him well is not the republican nominee. what do you intend to do. i might sit it out larry you know i'm not going to go picky choosy among democrats it's just too far away and i got enough on my hands on the republican side but i have said that i would not on any account support mr trump in the final i just think he's he doesn't know how to run a railroad as a result of which no one has confidence in us or our word as a nation around the world we just we we can't have that and he is beset by fears and demons and that's why you see these wild swerves and swings in his his behavior and you know i wish him well on his return to the private sector and i don't think he's going to have any trouble making a lot of money when he gets back there but i don't see him as president of united states how well financed you. probably medium now but the thing about winning t

ed markey, we probably know he probably knew a primary challenge was on the way which made sense fordeal so at least he can look a little bit more progressive. kennedy is a familiar and very nostalgic choice that a lot of democrats would rather choose coming up. obviously, kennedy is probably wanting to get onto the senate so he can eventually make a run for president. >> yeah. >> i mean, it would seem as if it's a little bit of a bloodbath, a family battle right there. >> i don't think now's the time to do it. >> there are many people -- >> the other thing is if all goes well, wroyou know, markey kennedy endorsed elizabeth warren. i could be wrong about kennedy. right? so there could very well be another massachusetts senate seat opening up. >> absolutely. a lot of people have been talking about kennedy as a possible running mate. as well. so it's an interesting tactic. within some democratic circles. interesting tactic, indeed. all right. so in the meantime, michelle, you have seven democrats who have filed to run against senator john cornyn there in texas. but no democrat has won

joe kennedy is considering a primary challenge or hasn't ruled it out against senator ed markey of massachusetts. now, these are both well-known names in the commonwealth. i think what this speaks to is something bigger happening inside the democratic party. something generational happening inside the democratic party. you think that congressman kennedy will do it? and what does it tell us about the broader picture here? >> i don't think he will do it but there is a change. you saw presley take on capuano. capuano was a terrific progressive but a tradition mall prerogative. and pressley came in with all this energy and knocked him out. that's really impressive. it's a hard thing to do. i think joe kennedy may be looking at that same sort of generational change. there is arrestiveness in the party. if you want to be a successful democrat, you have to be successful with those under 30. 65-plus, that's mr. trump's base. if we want to cut into that, pointing out that he's trying to cut medicare might be great. right now the generational heart of the republican party, young people, joe kennedy can ap

democratic senator ed markey of massachusetts attended a press conference with a number of the families who have been told to take their kids out of medical treatment and get out of the country. senator markey's take on this last night as we highlighted on last night's show is this. it is unconscionable, it's just wrong. we have now reached the most inhumane of all of donald trump's policies. he said, the trump administration is literally deporting kids with cancer. there are few things that are at least at this point unusual or unknown about this story. without more reporting on this, it will take us time to get to the bottom of this. as we are trying to figure out what's going on, it's particularly interesting that this is a policy change that hasn't been announced. which i think ultimately starts to become important in terms of how well the trump administration is coping with what they're trying to do to these kids. they started sending letters to parents whose kids are receiving life saving medical care that they can't get anywhere else, they started sending letters to the parents t

that would mean he would be running in a primary against senator ed markey.i should wait my turn but with due respect i'm not sure this is a moment for waiting. our system has been letting down a lot of people for a long time and we can't fix it if we don't challenge it. i've got some ideas on how to do that and i don't think our democratic process promises anyone a turn. >>> that is all for tonight. we'll be back tomorrow with more "meet the press" daily and the beat starts right now. amin is in for ari melber. >> i am in for ari melber. president trump promoting his golf courses at the g7 summit in france. plus democrats subpoena another trump staffer as the impeachment caucus continues to grow. i'm going to talk to a democratic presidential candidate ahead of this week's big debate deadline. we want to begin with a series of setbacks and embarrassments as trump heads back from confusing our allies overseas at a major world summit. when trump lands in d.c. tonight, he's going to face a new challenge from the right in the gop primary. he is also

massachusetts senator ed markey said the administration is now literally deporting kids with cancer and that the change would "terrorize sick kids who are literally fighting for their lives." massachusetts congngressmember ayanna pressley said she is considering calling for a congressional oversight hearing on the matter, saying -- "what's so troubling about this, beyond the cruelty of it, is the lack of transparency around the process. there was no public comment period, not even a public announcement of this." the aclu of massachusetts has vowed to fight the policy change in court. let's begin there. you helped to head up the immigration program of the aclu. what is involved here? we're talking about children and adults who were receiving critical care in hospitals around the u.s. the think this is par for course. the administration going after the most vulnerable. for the last year and a half, we have been fighting the policy of separatiting little children, en babies, from families. last week, they went after military families. now they're going after sick kids. it is devastating, b

democratic senator ed markey of massachusetts today described the revelation of what the trump administrationg here, which we're learning from these letters to families. he described it by saying we've reach the most inhumane of all of donald trump's policies. and when you learn what they're doing from these letters, it's hard to argue with senator markey there. these thousands of families around the country have previously been allowed to stay in this country because their kids are receiving lifesaving medical care here that they can't receive in their home countries. the trump administration is now with no fanfare sending out these letters alerting these families that they are no longer going to honor those previous arrangements and kids who need lifesaving treatment literally to stay alive, treatment they can only get here, are now being kicked out of the united states by orders of the trump administration. these families are being given 33 days to get out. they are singling out the families of dying children to facilitate their deaths by sending them to places they can no longer get treat

senator ed markey, it's unconscionable, it's wrong. and we are here to say that we will fight. we have gathered many times in the last two and a half years. these same groups have come together. we have now reached the bottom of the most inhumane of all of donald trump's policies. joe biden says he is seeking to deport sick kids, seeking life-saving medical treatment like every bully is trying to make himself seem stronger like picking on the most vulnerable among us. do you think this holds up, or do you think this is the story where they say, oh, no, no, let's get rid of the gang members first? >> first of all, biden mentioned this in south carolina yesterday. you had literally hear gasps in the audience. because most people that hadn't heard this story. and he was laying it all out. it was emotional. it was a really powerful political moment if you want to look at this through political eyes, which you have to. >> do you want to hear it? we have that. >> he's seeking to deport sick kids seeking life-saving medical treatment in the united states. like every bully he's trying

the letter from three senators, he had markky -- ed markey, bob menendez and richard blumenthal.a motorcycle accident when the helmet came off. he bought it on amazon. it was supposed to be a approved. we're talking about everything from toys and cosmetics labeled as fda approved, toys with unsafe levels of lead, infant sleeping mats, linked to suffocation. none of this is disclosed on a description from amazon. senators are concerned even if the product are the banned from the site they show up in mother post. they're concerned the monitoring is inadequate. amazon pointed us to a statement on the website. in the statement it said, that amazon spent $400 million in 2018 on various tools to review, looking for these items or programs for that. the company says that every few minutes their tools spend or review hundreds of millions of items sold on their website every day. back to you, neil. neil: a lot of items. thank you very, very much, edward lawrence. >>> purdue pharma, remember that multibillion dollar deal, the rich family behind it, offering billions of dollars to settle op
