in the waxman-markey bill they put a floor of the $11 on the price.e utilities have come to me and said what about a caller? so what i do ask your response to that, mr. krupp and rancheria. >> the aspect of a caller would certainly promote upside protection on the cost of the customer. but fundamentally, even with the collar would still impose a second cause of customers we find would not be productive. and the reason for this is if a customer is going to spend a dollar we want that dollar to be spent on actually investing in infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions. the need to spend a second dollar to buy an allowance to get up to a cap does not seem productive or useful for us. so fundamentally we would want to stay. >> if you are worried about the consumer im as well. and we will measure our consumers are not hurt. mr. krupp, could you talk about that, about many of the other utilities to support the waxman-markey bill. and i understand it's probably dependent on their mix and so on. but some are very heavily coal, like duke energy, very strongly

representative ed markey is in boston, democrat of massachusetts and longtime friend of the late senator. and on the phone from shanghai, china, is former senator bill frist, former senate majority leader and a good friend of senator kennedy. what's your first reaction, joe lieberman, to all of this? >> first reaction is that this was -- this is the end of an era, certainly the end of a generation of a great american family. president john f. kennedy inspired me and a lot of others of my generation into public service. ted kennedy carried it along. i also thought, with a kind of gratitude, that unlike three of his brothers, though his passing is sooner than any of us who loved him, served with him would have wanted, he died of natural causes, and he lived a full and wonderful life. an inspiring, ultimate irresistible person. and i feel lucky, blessed to have known him personally, and learned a lot from him about how to get things done in politics. >> larry: senator warner, you're a republican, you're an opponent of his on many issues, yet many senators are using the word "love" tonight.

congressman markey, thank you so much. what a great brother ted kennedy was to his brothers. up next, much more in the life of ted kennedy, the senator from massachusetts and his impact on the debate we're having right now. it's very much alive on health care. we'll be right back with "hardball" after this. >> as long as i have a voice in the united states senate, it's going to be for that democratic platform plank that provides decent quality of health care north and south, east and west for all americans as a matter of right and not of privilege. r a l on car insurance. i think i might have a coupon in here. there's an easier way. we've got the "name your price" option. you do? follow me. you tell us how much you want to pay, and we'll build you a policy that fits your budget. and i still get great coverage? uh-huh. go ahead. you're the boss. i'm the bo of savings. more like the c.e.o. oh, oh. no glass ceiling. the freedom to name your price. now, that's progressive. call or click today. what's in it for me? i'm not looking for a bailout, just a good paying job. that's why

congressman ed markey. >> glad to be here.hank you. >> thank. >> and that was ed markey, of course, the congressman from massachusetts just a few moments ago, a key figure in both health care and the energy debate. and for more on the health status of senator kennedy and the family legacy, let's bring in msnbc contributor, our own mike barnicle. mike, it's been a tough day for family and friends. you were in the service. >> yeah. >> we've had a lot of losses lately, and this one with the same funeral mass, it was tough. >> the catholic funeral mass is a celebration of a life lost. we all know that. but it's filled with remembrance for those who are gathered in the church, remembrance of other losses, other people who we've loved and have lost. so it all comes back in a tidal wave of emotion. all encapsulated in an hour and 45 minutes. >> and the extraordinary life of the woman who we were celebrating today, maria shriver talked about her mother. let's listen a little bit about the excentric qualities of eunice kennedy shriver.

he said there would be winners and losers in the agricultural community based on waksman markey -- waxman-markey. they have a very little of such opportunities in this bill. they are constrained. the federal lands to not qualify for of such opportunities. the majority of federal lands, half of wyoming, great portions of colorado -- i am concerned about how the agricultural community could possibly survive under waxman-markey given what the president of the american farm bureau has to say. do you have any solutions from your department? >> in terms of the issues that we deal with relative to access, we see that as a continued important volume and critical to the economy of the west. we do not believe that is at risk here. we also believe that there are outstanding opportunities for carbon sequestration, and that involves collaboration and cooperation with the agricultural community. in fact, senator inhofe has been a leader in this. i met with a rancher this weekend. he has an easement he has helped facilitate important wildlife values in montana. very clear examples of how we can partner between

markey. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for a minute and a half. mr. markey: i thank the gentleman very much and i appreciate your hard work in extending this program. this program is a win for consumers who are trading in old gas guzzlers for hybrids, a win for our economy and a win for energy independence and the environment as the new vehicles are averaging 60% more fuel efficiency than the junkers being taken off the road. however, i am concerned that we are taking funding from the renewable energy loan guarantee program and would express my strong belief that we must find a way of replenishing those funds as soon as possible. mr. chairman, could you work with me and other members to ensure that the funds for this program will be replenished? mr. obey: if will the gentleman yield? i share the gentleman's view that the renewable energy loan guarantee program is of vital importance to creating a new green economy. we have talked with the white house.

thanks in part to congressman ed markey, who is chair of the house select committee on energy independence and global warming. he is investigating these fraudulent letters. congressman markey sent out a letter today addressed not to bonner & associates, the lobbying firm responsible for the forgeries and a group that's famous for exactly this kind of strategy, but instead he sent the letter to america's coalition for clean coal electricity. the coal industry front group for whom the forger or forgers at bonner & associates were hired to work. this coal industry group has now admitted to knowing that this fraud was being perpetrated by its subcontractor as of june 24th. that's relevant because that's two days before the vote on the climate bill in the house. get the problem here? the coal industry knew what it was paying for, fraud, meant to aid its own cause, but they didn't contact members of congress who received the fraudulent letters before the vote even though they knew they had been sent. in fact, the coal industry didn't address the fraud at all until the charlottesville, virginia d

congresswoman patsy markey, she told her town hall meeting that there will be some people who are going to give up some things for this health care reform to work but will do this because we are americans. she talked about the cuts in medicaid. this advertisement explains those cuts. obama says, i don't have any cuts in benefits. there is nothing here that says i will not cover cancer or heart disease. there is something in the bill that says that you have to cut $500 billion out of medicare over 10 years. when newt gingrich tried to cut medicare, he enumerated those cuts. obama sets up a commission that will make the decision and congress will have a very limited window to modify or override. he also says that we're going to cut reimbursement rates to hospitals which means that there will be less care and the people that will be hurt the most are the elderly. greta: the thing that bothers me about the bill is that i cannot even get to the substance of it. i find this incomprehensible. i cannot understand reforming a system with a pile of chaos. one of the things that has been said is t

state department official and currently with the coalition on foreign relations, daniel markey.nks for joining us. my first question, obviously it is terrible people are losing their lives. it is because they don't want people to go to the polls, that's terrible because they should be able to vote. but why should the average person if you're listening on sirius, watching on cnn right now, why should we care about that? >> well, the average american should be worried because the entire project in afghanistan, the reason why we have tens of thousands of troops there, is based on the idea that eventually we'll get a stable and effective government and this election is one piece in that process. if it's thoroughly discredited by the taliban, if it leads to more instability, then the political side of the equation won't come together and the military side won't be enough to hold afghanistan together over the longer term. >> is it indeed true that the taliban, whoever's doing this -- and the government is saying that it is the taliban -- they're doing this to keep people away from the

i never liked him as markey mark. he's so hot now. he was on the set of his new thursday.e mark wahlberg, it's an action film. they brought in a smoke machine for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much. he had to be rushed to the hospital. apparently he woke up the following morning gasping for breath. he was taken to maachusetts general hospital and he was hooked up to a breathing machine to clear up his lungs. so a very frightening situation. the movie he was shooting was "the fighter i hadn't heard abo that new movie. they're saying he's okay now but a scary situation. >> the things he does for his art. now he's breathing in the smoke. way back when he wore those derpants just to further his art. >> i don't make fun of kim kardashian. i let you have your fantasies. let me have mine. >> michael phelps. another bad decision from the olympic champion. this is what i'm saying. the police are not saying that. he got in a car wreck, driving a cadillac escalade, crashed with a honda accord. by all accounts it was the other driver's fault, no big deal. we do know tha

the wrong road because the climate movement, the cap and trade movement and the 1500 page waxman markeyill this point to be debated in the senate is the energy and climate road to serfdom and this contradicts so much of the free market principles that under conscious capitalism so i see a real conflict here. i would urge conscious capitalism check the premises, get back to the basis of climate change and particularly will get government failure, a political failure versus market failure in this issue as far as conscious capitalists being able to solve the global warming issue, this is a tears in the ocean problem. if you look at the mathematics of greenhouse gas reductions, and what can be done under self-interest and under government mandates around the world we are talking about hundreds of degrees of of weighted warming 50 to 100 years from now so this is a big issue, a tough issue. i know i put you on the spot but all of us americans are now debating this and it is a huge issue for the freedom movement. thank you.

. >> ed markey, what kind of friend was he? >> well, for me, you know, just a kid growing up, in massachusetts at the immaculate conception grammar school and john and robert and ted kennedy are saying, in 1960, ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country, so he inspired me, he inspired millions of other people. and it was a great honor, for me, obviously, for 33 years to be a congressman from massachusetts with him. and every day, for me. was a fulfillment of a political dream, because he was an idealist, without illusions, as his brother used to say, he wanted to get things done. he knew when to cross over the aisle, in order to cut deals, but at the end of the day, he was an inspiration to me. he is going to be missed, because he leaves a huge void. the good news is that he passed the torch on to a new generation through barack obama and through millions of others in the country who will pick up his cause. >> larry: senator frist, you opposed him often on the floor of the senate. wha

others include ed markey, to who is number 12 in democratic senior seniority right now. >> there is a possibility that no kennedy would run and that would mean for massachusetts the first time a kennedy has not served in the united states senate since 1952. >> vicky kennedy, the senator's widow, said she will not run. all bets are off if a kennedy does, and former kennedy joe kennedy, has nearly $2 million left in his campaign coifers from his years in the house. he has not said what he plans but would instantly be a frontrunner. no republicans have stepped forward yet, but since 2006, the g.o.p. has been recruiting former red sox great kirk schilling who retired in march. schilling lacks political organization and experience but there is no doubt about his name recognition and popularity in massachusetts. some republicans say he might have the best chance in the g.o.p. g.o.p. of winning which in massachusetts for ted kennedy's seat is still pretty slim chances. bret: carl cameron live on capitol hill. something old that is new again in healthcare and an again in healthcare and an ame

representative ed markey, the author of cash for clunkers, says it has become one of the most success successful stimulus programs of 2009. whoa. that's saying an awful lot of press secretary robert gibbs said "you keep on buying cars all weekend long!" but what really has happened with the cash for clunkers? well, they had budgeted what was supposed to last about four months, and it lasted four days. friendly reminder, the same numb nuts that you know, penciled in the numbers over the last four months that it would last, they are the same people that figured out $1.5 trillion is enough for healthcare. this shows the utter incompetence of our government. they are cheering this plan because they gave away free money faster than anticipated. good job, guys! well done, bravo. now, of course, they're expanding this successful program. let me tell you something. they are not printing more money for this because it worked. they're printing more money, because this is a complete and total failure. look at what they have done now. they have put everybody into a jam. local car dealerships suff

well, now congressman ed markey has released five more fake letters. a busy temp, huh? and we can reveal the identities of the second batch now of local groups that had their identities stolen by bonner and associates on behalf of the coal industry. they are the dunmore senior citizen center in dunmore, pennsylvania. the butler senior center in pennsylvania, the erie center on health and aging in erie, pennsylvania and the slippery rock senior citizen in slippery rock, pennsylvania. and the senior citizen in charlottesville, virginia. all of these groups had their identities stolen. the house committee investigating the fraud has asked bonner and associates to review a total of 50 hate 58 letters that were sent before the vote on climate change to determine if there are still more frauds, still more advocacy groups have their letterhead and good name stolen on behalf of coal. >>> two important updates to a ever worn your clothes in the shower? if you're using other moisturizing body washes, you might as well be. you see, their moisturizer sits on top of skin, almost as
