markey: thank you, thank you. thank you, kathryn, so much. thank you for all of your pioneering work, teaming with jeff chester, creating the dynamic duo who would work on children's media issues going back to the 1990 children's television act, which was a project that are worked on with you and many others in this room. just a brief history there. during the reagan, the chairman of the federal communications commission said that a television is nothing more than a toaster with pictures. so just another appliance in the house, a television. it is like a refrigerator. what impact did a television have on the minds of children? so my goal, partnering with her jeff, with kathryn, partnering with so many others who cared about that issue, was to put those children's in to put those children's television rules back on the books in 1990. even then, we had an incredible set of changes that were beginning online in our country. and we needed to put rules on the books that dealt with the online universe that was unfolding. and that is when i met jeff

senator markey? >> should companies be able to tell consumers if they don't agree to share nonessential data they cannot receive the service or product? >> no. they shouldn't be able to tell consumers that. it gets back to the question of what constitutes choice. even if we have notice and choice, which is as i said not enough, we need to use restrictions as well, but a choice has to be a real choice. this is something the gdpr does well saying consent must be freely given. when the company says accept our practices or don't use the service, that is not a free choice. >> should they offer financial services in exchange for information? >> i support skepticism towards financial incentives for certain data practices. i recognize mother may be of value that consumers enjoy in exchange for their data, often times the financial incentives companies offer, or financial penalties they levy against consumers that decline consent, are not consensual it. -- are not truly commensurate with the company informati

thank you member thune, ranking member markey. i am very happy -- i am not here today because i'm worried about private information be made public and although this is the classic right to be left alone stated just a moment ago in this hearing. this is also about the need to grapple with the implications of unbridled data collection, storage, processing and use. to influence society than we could've imagined before the digital era. this is about confronting the ways in which the data driven economy is contributing to extreme wealth, and verity, extreme political polarization from extreme information manipulation. this is not a time to be shy about data regulation. aside time for light touch regulation which has been tried and led us to where we are today. at the time to intervene in a thank you all for having this hearing. here is where we should start. first, we should agree derek things information should not be used for. chief among these is discrimination. information americans share online should not be used to deny access to

may i give you two examples, senator ed markey of massachusetts, he will not allow donald trump to bey or criminally charged or investigated during time in office. that's not what he said at all, he once made speech in which he said that investigations are criminal and civil investigations are huge drain of time on the president but it was up to congress to decide whether or not a president could be charged in investigated -- charged with a crime while he was in office that. was up to -- that was up to congress he said, not the courts and markey goes out and make accusation and senator leahy once again calls brett a liar for not telling truth for not being nomination to atlanta circuit court and lie today committee. i know that's absolutely untrue. i'm the guy who is pushing for bill to be put on the 11th circuit, yet once again leahy on the floor united states senate calls brett a liar when he's absolutely totally wrong. it's amazing to me that they are so sloppy and so callise. dana: he took exactly what he said on the senate floor. let me ask you looking ahead in the next suferl ho

senator markey talked about the number of people he's heard from in his office, and i've heard that same story time and again from so many of my colleagues. we're certainly seeing this in new hampshire. the sexual harassment and rape program which is also called sharp, a program that provides services is and support to sexual assault survivors, they've reported an increase in people reaching out for help, and i've heard that from crisis centers across the granite state who feel that an influx of calls from survivors who can relate to dr. ford's testimony and who feel compelled to speak out. on tuesday, i spoke with the new hampshire coalition against domestic and sexual violence, which told me they've seen similar interactions with survivors who are now stepping forward, women and men whose trauma of past sexual assaults has been revived by christine ford's testimony. like my colleagues, i've received letters from sexual assault survivors who have been deeply affected by dr. ford's testimony and whose courage has given them the strength to share their own stories. what's been amazing to

the treat act, senator markey, senator paul worked hard on this. i want to especially thank senator mcconnell and senator schumer for creating the environment so that we could put together the work of five different committees in the senate and eight different committees in the house of representatives. that rarely happens. it takes a good deal of restraint and goodwill. and the reason for it is because of this bipartisan urgency to deal with this problem. this is not a moonshot from washington. it is everything we can think of to do, more than 70 different proposals to support patients and support communities as they continue to fight our number one public health epidemic. i thank the president and i yield the floor. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the question is on the motion to concur. is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. there is. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: the presiding officer: is there any senator in the chamber winnerring -- wishing to vote or change their vote? if not, yeas are 98, the nays ar

senator markey? >> thank you, chairman. the reason we're here is that europe has now passed a privacy law, and that california has passed a privacy law. at the end of the day, the companies which are represented here today and all across the country are ultimately going to want california law preempted, and they're going to want other states' laws preempted. they're going to ask this panel to do that. so our goal has to be to ensure that any law which we pass out of this committee is a strong law. we don't need to pass weak laws in washington that override strong laws in california or massachusetts or other states. so that's why we're here, because finally europe, finally states are beginning to move in the absence of a federal policy, but that federal policy is going to have to be strong. the bill which i've introduced for years, which is essentially the consent act, basically says, one, people should have a right to knowledge that information is being gathered about them, two, notice that that information might be reused

senator ed markey, thank you for making some time tonight. >>> joining me now political reporter alex izenstat, co-wrote the scoop on -- and mariner perez. and alex, let me start with you, adelson has been the single biggest donor. what's the thinking behind the latest set of checks he's writing? >> republicans are facing a brutal midterm environment and they're turning to sheldon adelson and making him their white knight in this case because democrats have had a lot of money they're spending in these races and they're going back to sheldon adelson for more, as you mentioned in your intro, he's already given $55 million and we hear that this additional infusion of cash, this eleventh hour infusion of cash is well into the tens of millions of dollars. you're already seeing the effects of it. you know, this week the senate leadership fund, one of the groups that adelson is giving to started air dropping millions more dollars in tv ads, on democrats, and you're seeing the same happen in the house. so the effects, potentially, are already being seen here. >> what i always think about shel

senator markey. >> thank you, mr. chairman, very much. you are right, it's a lifesaving technology, but it's not free. you mentioned the mbta in massachusetts which has alone invested over $500 million to implement ptc supported by $27 million of direct federal investment and nearly $400 million in federal loans. and after implementation, the mbta may have to spend tens of millions more to operate and maintain this technology for decades to come. so while i'm proud that i have recently helped secure $20 million of federal investment to help the mbta implement ptc technologies, i am concerned that our commuter rails may not have the resources or the tools to continue operating in maintaining that system. so, mr. chairman, is there a role for continuing federal assistance investment for technical assistance for ptc technologies to ensure we are operating and maintaining these technologies effectively? mr. administrator. >> thank you, senator. that is a question that doesn't have an answer yet, and it's going to be answered primarily by each

that is a tax that even senator s markey and warren said would hurt us. your $2 billion additional, even if you cleared every additional hurdle, you wouldn't raise a nickel until your second term in office. do you have a real plan that would raise real money in the short term to do the things you say he is not doing? mr. gonzalez: it is a very specific plan to raise $3 billion each year. by the end of my first term. which is $3 billion more than zero, which is his plan. we are spending more now on the t thanks to some decisions to raise the gas tax but it is not nearly enough. the people across the state who use the t cannot depend on it. it affects their quality of life every single day. governor baker's plan will be that it will be fixed in 15 years and he is not saying how he will pay for that. it is unacceptable. we need to have a sense of urgency around this. >> is there even one democratic leader in legislature in support of your endowment plan? mr. gonzalez: yeah. jim eldritch supports it. >> i'm talking about leaders. mr. gonzalez: people has not
