you might want to think about that if you are ed markey.t's remarkable whenever we see one of these toests, we've seen a down -- protests, we've seen a couple the week with chuck schumer, a couple of others, and they are trying to get millions or at least thousands of people to march in the streets in washington d.c. the problem is they just come three blocks from somewhere wells in washington d.c. those are the only people who daughter about these cuts to -- that doge is trying to make to these government practices. the only people who are up in arms about it are government bureaucrats, often unionized government bureaucrats. there's no movement in the rest of the country among taxpayers because taxpayers understand what is obvious, and it becomes more obvious the more of these stories that come out, and that is that the government spends wildly on things that have nothing to do in terms of improving their lives. stuart: right. i think senator markey is particularly upset because he's one of the authors of the of original green new deal al

senator ed markey, come and join us down here. thank you. sen. markey: thank you all. our patriots, our revolutionaries, they fought against king george. they wanted a democracy. they did not fight to create a king or a dictator. they thought in order to make sure that there would be checks and balances. and alexander hamilton, they sing of the room where it happens. this department of treasury is now were donald trump has given elon musk the keys to all of the tax money, all of the programs, all of the hoax, all of your dreams, of all americans. but this is not the room where it will happen. this is the room where it's going to happen! it's going to happen out on the streets of our country. we are not going to make america great again by making america hate again. we are going to stand and fight. those revolutionaries, they got knocked down, but they got up and fought! the abolitionist got knocked down, but they got up and fought. the suffragettes, they got knocked down, but they got up and

senator ed markey and al a ocasio-cortez launched this boondoggle with great fanfare four years ago.been dying ever since. if -- it's been dying ever since. just in the last four weeks president trump has declared a national energy emergency, his policy is drill, baby, drill. for fossil fuels, that is. wind farms out, offshore end windmills, out. pipelines, get 'em built. the climate crowd has brought this on themselves. the green new deal was based on fear. we were constantly told that if we didn't get rid of fossil files real fast, the world will end. and no arguments. the science is in. remember that expression in they used that this fear mongering to impose draconian changes. no gas stoves, are you kidding? no gas-powered cars? it didn't help that this an angry teenager, gareth that thune berg, grimly -- greta thunberg, terrified world leaders. that was pathetic. one word of criticism, and you were attacking a child. it also a didn't help when the climate crowd held up traffic, violated artwork, disrupted sporting events. don't make me suffer. it's a turn ioff. here we are with a

they weren't very they were very supportive, you know section in there about her and ed markey and. yeah i called ed and i kind of old bulls you know he's been such a leader in this in this field. you know, we talked about the clean energy tax credits and it was very appealing, you know, to them. and they come be part of this, you know, discussion. and the senate finance committee late in the spring of 2021 was willing to go on clean energy tax credits. the committee had never been in 100 years or 100 years. it was just all about ladling out some legacy tax to some powerful interest. and if you had, a friend on the finance committee or the ways and means committee, you got what you wanted. and we said nuts on that. in fact, when we started, i said, my goal live on this clean energy tax credits. just throw the energy provisions of the tax in the garbage can. we didn't get all the way. we got pretty close. who do you think as you look outside of congress, do you have any folks that you're thinking demonstrate hotspur outside of washington? well, i don't i don't want to get in the busin

. >> i am senator ed markey for massachusetts.as it dangerous is people who work for usaid are wearing masks to protect themselves from musk. this is a dictatorship in the making. this is an attempt to take over usaid and then use that as the example to take over the epa and medicaid, and medicare. donald trump, elon musk, elon musk makes unsafe cars and now he wants to create an unsafe world. and cutting the programs that are at the h heart of who we are as a nation. they set elon musk said over the weekend he was going to throw usaid into a wood chipper. what else is going into that wood chipper? healthcare, democracy, fighting for the rights of those who are most desperate around the world and sending a message that he is going to do the same for those who are most desperate in the united states of america itself. this is an historic moment. this is a time when we have to stand up and toav fight. too not stand on the sidelines. you have people by the millions, people buy that millions are going to have to stand up and protested

texas republican senator ted cruz and massachusetts democratic senator ed markey are fighting back againstto remove am radio from new cars. it also continues to be the most reliable former emergency communication during severe weather and power outages. crews says am radio is also where listeners can find talk. radio am radios a haven for people to express differing viewpoints, allowing free speech and a robust democratic process. critics warn that a streaming services and satellite radio grow traditional am radio could be left behind. but the bill has rare bipartisan support. we will do something. >> that thinks outside the box on how to keep communication going. washington senator maria cantwell says millions of americans still rely on signals, especially in rural areas where internet access isn't reliable. lawmakers say until a bill is passed, they want the national highway traffic safety administration to put pressure on automakers so listeners can keep tuning in, but not everyone is on board. the consumer technology association argues that requiring am radio will stifle innovation and

congresswoman, i am reminded of what happened just last night, too, because we saw a post from senator ed markeyoutside the epa building last night, was greeted by a private security guard, apparently, and was told he couldn't come in. is this the new tactic or strategy that democrats are embarking upon to draw attention to the many things that are happening right now within the trump administration? should we expect more of these types of efforts? >> yes, you can expect more. as you know, we had thousands in front of the treasury department just two days ago. we were locked out. this is where elon musk had gone in and has access to all of the payment systems in this country, and who has all of the access to all of our private information, the social security numbers on everybody in this country, all of what is happening with the tax revenue on and on and on, all of the bills to be paid. he has all of that. elon musk is basically a government gangster who's acting as. protocol rather president of the united states of america. and he is wreaking havoc on this country. >> congresswoman waters, can

and i want to go out front now to democratic senator ed markey. senator markey today went to the epa office building and asked to meet with the doge representative today. he says he was denied entry. and i want to get to that senator in just a moment. first, i want to give you a chance to respond to this breaking news, though obviously, as an attorney yourself, you look at these situations for the federal trying to get federal employees to resign, for example, it's a stay of a few days. there's another hearing. so there's setbacks here, but it's unclear where it will go. do you believe the courts will stop trump or will he prevail? >> no. >> the courts, if they interpret the. >> constitution correctly. >> are going to. >> stop. musk are going to stop trump. i mean, article one is the congress. article two is the president. article three is the judiciary. there's not an article 3.5 where elon musk gets to do whatever he wants to do. they're trying to rewrite constitutional law in our country. and whether it be birthright citizenship or it be this s

that possibility, encouraging to some democrats here was massachusetts senator ed markey. >> the courts, if they interpret the constitution correctly, are going to stop. musk, are going to stop trump. i mean, article one is the congress. article two is the president. article three is the judiciary. there's not an article 3.5 where elon musk gets to do whatever he wants to do. >> so just how will the conservative majority supreme court, three members, of course, appointed by trump himself in his previous term rule on challenges to the president's attempts to redefine presidential power? here's what cnn's stephen collinson writes this morning, quote, the growing storm of lawsuits means some of this young administration's most extraordinary applications of unilateral presidential power could be reined in. but the litigation also conjures a scenario that no one wants to think about. what would happen if the administration refused to recognize court rulings, even one handed down by the supreme court. all right. joining us this morning, andy lynskey. she's white house reporter for the wall st

quick run off show, i'm going to make a brief opening statement and i will turn to ranking member ed markey to do the same. following that, we have senator scott and senator britt who will introduce our nominee. then we will administer the oath which is required. after the oath, senator leffler will be recognized for an opening statement followed by questions from our members alternating between each side. i now recognize myself for five minutes for purposes of an opening statement. senator leffler. as i already said, welcome to the committee and thank you for your willingness to serve. i greatly appreciate the time you spent meeting with me and my colleagues prior to this hearing. i want to take a minute to recognize some of your family here supporting you today. first, your husband, jeff. thank you, jeff, for being here. next, your brother brian, and his family who i understand traveled from washington, d.c. from their farm in illinois. also your parents, don and linda who are watching from florida today. we appreciate you all making the trip here and tuning into this hearing. as a former

have a question, senator ed markey asked linda mcmahon to commit to not cutting federal funding to schoolse deflected the question. we then asked her if she could commit to not using federal funding to cover from public schools to be a must for tax breaks for the rich and again she deflected the question. how does not -- how is this not concerning to everyone. dish should be a damming statement for any person -- this should be a damming statement for every person so how is this not concerning for every senator, both democrat and republican? guest: it should be concerning. senator markey probably had the quest to -- best line in hearing where he called doge the department of gutting education. we are all concerned because linda mcmahon would not make that commitment that she would not cut funding for the kids. host: this is karen, a teacher in youngstown, ohio on the line set aside for teachers. caller: i was a secretary in arizona, but i raised at deaf sun in the western suburbs of chicago. if it weren't for the public education, he would not be where he is now. he was profoundly deaf or i
