markey of massachusetts. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 203, the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. markey, and a gentleman opposed each will have five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. markey: my amendment is quite simple, which says nothing that the republicans are proposing today should put a limitation on the ability of the e.p.a. to reduce the demand for inputting oil from opec, which should be the number one objective in our country. you know, we only have 2% of the world's oil reserves and consume 25% on a daily basis. and there is nothing we can do about it. and so the only way in which we can solve the problem is we reduce consumption by increasing the efficiency of the vehicles we drive, of the boats we use, the planes that we ride in, of the other sources that consume the oil that we use in our country. and what they're going to do, the republicans, is tie the hands of the e.p.a. to back out the five million barrels of oil that we import from opec on a dail

markey, ms. schakowsky and mr. dingell. they co-sponsored h.j.r. 72 in 2003. and another was h.j.r. 28 in 2008. both were resolutions disapproving f.c.c. rules. so my colleagues say amendments were not in order. that's because the language of the congressional review act says disprolve resolutions would allow frustrate congress' intent providing a straight up or down vote in these approvals of overreaching rules. my colleagues say instead of considering this legislation we should be debating comprehensive legislation for the f.c.c. to regulate the internet. then, why did they refuse our repeated proposal last congress?

markey: i thank the gentlelady. in two days the republicans have proven that they always side with the biggest behemoth companies. yesterday they said it's ok for the biggest oil and coal and chemical companies to pollute the atmosphere. today they are saying that it's ok for the biggest communications companies to totally control the entire blue dogos fear -- blogoatmosphere, they want to spoil google eth and mother earth in a 24-hour period. they want domination in the world wide web in pollution of the whole wide world all within 24 hours. let me give you a little history here, ladies and gentlemen. we had no competition in the internet, the wireless world, in 1993, two companies, analog, 50 cents a minute. no one had a cell phone in their company. we had to move over the 200 megahertz. we had to say there was a third, fourth, and fifth, and sixth company so there would be competition and block the first two companies who were not innovating. why? because there was no darwinian, paranoia inducing competition to f

you can also find a letter from ed markey, who heads up the caucus.st: congressman ed markey has a strong niche in -- interest in this issue because he was one of the first members that identify the problem almost one decade ago when people were getting cell phones, and he said what about all of the location of data? he got a bill through congress to limit the use, and here we are 10 years later. host: are they breaking any laws? the guest: that is a good question. congressman ed markey thinks they are. it is not clear who is subject to the law. it was written at a time when people focused on the telecommunications companies. they thought they were regulating the companies, the as opposed to the manufacturers of cell phone devices or the designers of operating systems. host: marc rotenberg is our guest. we're talking about the privacy issues surrounding cell phone tracking devices. let's go to richard, a democrat in chicago. caller: why did they not just encrypt a cell phone, so let nobody could hat -- so that nobody could hack into the fall or the co

that we go to a short break here and after the actual prick we'll continue our discussion on steve markey. i tell marvin here broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today in the big picture. i. can say. welcome back eurostar comparable to remind you we're discussing if the u.s. will default. lead. to. the. ok jeff i want to go back to you because you said something really interesting if you could could get members of both parties together you could solve this here isn't really a revenue problem and not a spending problem how to generate revenue. it's quote i said if we get economists together. now it's. time to. go. you know i mean the good the good even though it's there's at the moment somewhat surprisingly i would say the markets are completely relaxed there's no sign that they're nervous about holding us and as long as they go on doing that we don't have a crisis but we be foolish to rely on that forever that's that's so that. that's one point it's kind of nonsensical that at this moment in history two thousand and eleven is when american politicians are suddenly doing this

markey: i thank the gentlelady. republicans say their budget is a path to prosperity. but it's really a path to more prosperity for the already prosperous. the republican budget picks high rolling oil executives over low-income families. it favors c.e.o.'s over senior citizens. it helps the wealthy over the working class. how do republicans pay for this gigantic goody bag for the rich? well, they eviscerate medicare, turning it into an underfunded voucher program. medicare becomes medi care-less. end the help seniors -- medicare-less. end the help for seniors. g.o.p. stands for grand mass out of prescriptions. this budgets is the same tired tune republicans have been trotting out for decades. it's play it again, uncle sam. in the 1980's ronald reagan tried to slash the social safety net programs. in 2005 president bush tried to privatize social security. and today the same republicans are trying to shred the social safety net they have opposed since it was created. it's not just deja vu all over again. it's deja vu-doo economics all over again. vote down this misguided

chastened markejason markey, going the distance. placed on administrative leave, she is the pitching coach for the atlanta braves who reportedly made some vulgar homophobic and threatening comments during a game at at&t park. he said on record he's deeply sorry, but by now you know that gloria got involved, the fans hard themselves an attorney went from there. the sharks in detroit 10 minutes away, they one of round two. in the san jose arena, the sharks grow land tonight at 7:00 then noontime on sunday and the return back to detroit. is the third time in five years the sharks and the mighty detroit red wings have cooked up in the second round. the team is like, the sharks taking the red wings last year in five games. >> there always a fun game to be a part of. there was competitive games and a great franchise is going against one another. >>gary: katharine hennen reside in san jose, your feelings on the red wings and sharks? >>reporter: you know i'm rooting for. >>gary: don't >> with your hard, analytically break down.

boston because my excitement of california as the green and guinea pig and i think that with waxman markey and the cap-and-trade of the federal level i think an awful supporter and they will have this guinea pig and a fact of showing texas and other parts of the world you can have a greenly economy and a successful economy and economists unfortunately, people don't have an incentive right now to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. i'm a fan of tamil gargasz and i'm going to be booed by the people in this room. [applause] that shows you i can't predict the future. we haven't taken our medicine and that's why i turn to adaptation. i wish we want to our medicine and i will hand this over to laurence. >> we should be rooting for 10-dollar gas because this is not a simple decision of oh we've accepted a fait accompli? effect to wear all of the fluids baliles of the surface of so we need to do both and adapt and adjust to those changes coming but also be finding a long-term solution to the halt of the process. >> thank you. so, we will start over here and bring the microphone up to your chin

[applause] i was just telling vicky i was walking earlier and looked up at the incredible blue sky with the sunshining down, and i said something that so many of us said so many times in our lives, thank you, ted. well, people will take credit for much of what happens, we give him the responsibility and credit for this beautiful day, and it's so typical of wh

[cheers and applause] i'll probably be knocking on congressman markey's door because i share a passion health care, thank you, speaker pelosi, and higher ed, so thank you, chancellor motley. >> you're welcome. [laughter] i'm honored to read a portion of this senate speech in april 1964 when senator kennedy said, mr. president, it is with some hesitation that i rise to speak on the pending legislation before the senate. a freshman senator should be seen, not heard, should learn, and not teach. it is true that prejudice exists in the minds and hearts of men. it can want be eradicated by law, but i firmly believe a sense of fairness and good will also exists in the minds and hearts of men. this noble characteristic wants to come out. law expressing as it does the loyal conscious of the community can help it come out in every person so in the end the prejudice will be dissolved. as a young man, i want to see an america where everyone can make his contribution, where a man will be measured not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. i remember the words of president j

markey: i thank the gentleman. it's a formula for the past, it's a formula for the nostalgic among the republicans who wish to go back to a time before medicare, medicaid, wind and solar and new energy technologies taking us into the future. but let me tell you something, 50% of the people in nursing homes in our country have alzheimer's and they are on medicaid. that's how we pay for the bills. you slash the budget for those people in nursing homes with alzheimer's. that's 50%. that's grandma. and you don't touch the wealthy. you don't touch the defense department this budget is so cruel if you kicked it in the heart, you'd break your toe. the chair: the gentleman from maryland reserves. the chair recognizes the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. ryan: i yield myself one minute to respopped to the warm comments of my friend from massachusetts, the even-handed comments. you know what's really cruel, mr. chairman? if we give our children a lower living standard. you know what's really cruel? if we give our children a deb

. >> we have a saying in the industry that we're about nine meals away from an markey. >> reporter: what that mean? >> that means that after three days we'd expect to see some fairly chaotic behavior. >> reporter: because everybody would be out of food? >> three days' worth of food is about what most people have on hand. >> reporter: and if the supermarkets aren't stocked -- >> the supermarkets will be cleared out in the first two hours is typically what happens. no food coming in, no food in the stores and people get panicked. >> reporter: and panic is a good thing for this store where the racks of dehydrated food and various get-by-in-a-crisis tools are standing by for the uptick in sales that tends to follow natural disasters. does this stuff sell pretty well all the time or just when people are nervous? >> obviously more when we have a little shake or something in california. and people -- >> reporter: is that what gets it going? >> yes. >> reporter: so tremors are good for business then? >> yeah. >> reporter: as for who buys this kind of stuff, meet neil strauss. also meet his goats

markey: i thank the gentleman. i rise in opposition to the dirty air act which overturns the scientific finding that pollution is harming our people and our planet. but as long as republicans are making an ideological decision to overturn scientific reality, i wonder if the republicans could offer an amendment overturning inconvenient geological reality as well. let's tell the united states geological survey that congress doesn't believe that the united states only has 2% of the world's oil as well. what the republican majority is bringing to the house floor today is almost as absurd. republicans want our own weapon against opec to be a bumper sticker slogan, "drill, baby, drill." well, i have news for my republican friends, we are drilling, baby. u.s. production is at its highest level in nearly a decade. domestic natural gas production is at an all-time high, but we will never be able to drill our way out of this problem. what republicans fail to acknowledge is that a clean energy revolution is already under way.

i think what daniel markey said panel was bought panel on. he wished he had this kind of information that were provided him a great deal of help and try to understand who are these people, and what are they thinking as they look at me, and how can i began to think about dealing with them affectively? if we are going to do that well, if we're going to produce them well, i think we need to think a little bit about the kinds of studies we're going to produce, the kinds of inquiries we can carry forward. what does it take to make candid? maybe a slightly improved candid? -- what does it take to make a kennon? a deep knowledge of your own society. politics, history, economics, culture. interestingly american foreign policy is very seldom talked as a subject in our universities today. there are few really good tax on the subject. it is even less caught outside the united states. -- there are few really good texts on the subject. i think it is of vital first up to the education of people who can make good form policy into the future. then i would sa

the on the other hand romantic reactionaries who loved 14th century -- sir walter scott, britain or markey or the church committee were very clear right about the limitations of these different regimes of the past, so they were friends of liberalism who were critics of the modern liberalism and red text but maybe were deeper than some of the current liberal text and that had a big influence on my father. >> host: he then went off to encounter in the london magazine -- >> guest: the beginning he spent most of 53 to 59 in london and he coedited a magazine with the poet stephen spender and i feel he enjoyed that. getting to know the british intellectual and political class at that time was interesting for him and the impressive group and why wouldn't it be interesting and he also had a lot of friendships and experiences with people who are now become where at times quite famous and have become more famous and interesting. >> host: he mentions in one of >> host: he mentions in one of the essays in this book we will talk about later that he was entering one of the philosophers of the great defe

. >> david markey has some questions or comments. >> yeah. just briefly. i want to mention one thing in response to julia's introduction. i think it was a comment that the emphasis has been for the obama administration on enforcement and not on comprehensive immigration reform. if someone has been devoted to enforcement, the department is funded for that. there's an obligation to go forward with that. there was an enormous amount of work that was done on comprehensive immigration reform from the first week of the immigration. i went to many meetings with the secretary where there was a number of key members of congress. it proved not possible to put together the right combination largely because of the inability to get a second republican cosponsor in the senate but there's an awful lot of background work that has been done. it's ready whenever the appropriate measures can be taken. so there's certainly there were steps that were taken with a lot of hours applied to it. i would also just take issue with ted and pose a question to him. i don't think -- i do

government is trying to do now in the words of ed marquee during our hearing on this was -- of ed markey during our hearing on this was, quote, we need to regulate the internet to keep it unregulated. i don't get that. but it is kind of the thought from the left side of the aisle that you have to regulate it in order to prevent anything that they may disagree with. so what we have here is an instance where now the freedoms of the internet and the marketplace driving it now have to be under a regulatory scheme decided by a group of appointees of the president. if not to be free, it has to be built in relation to their image. listen to his words. it's going to be built on their image. the analogy of communist china regulating the content can't happen today. they talk about politicing these i.s.p.'s will stop us from going to our websites. there have been a handful of those situations. and every time public marketplace chastised them openly, there were a few times the f.c.c. called up and said you can't do that under the principles that were adopted. can i have an additional minute. mr. woo

talked on the floor during the last time we defeated her bill, i think this might have been the waxman-markey bill. it doesn't matter, they're all the same. i stipulated to the science. i said let's assume the science is right. it's not but let's assume it is so we don't have to talk about that. assuming it is, let's talk about the economics. that's when we developed what it would cost. in my state of oklahoma, i have a policy that when we talk about billions and trillions of dollars, i try to say put it in context as to what it would, how it will affect my taxpayers in the state of oklahoma. so i have a very simple thing that i do. i take the total number of families that file tax returns and then i do the math. if you divide that into say $350 billion a year, that means the average taxpayer in my family -- my state of oklahoma would have to pay $3,100 a year in additional taxes in order to pay for the cap and trade regime that comes with any type of a legislation. and so we talked about that, and consequently we defeated each bill that came along. this is the key thing: the obama administra

the waxman-markey bill came over from the house.alking about something that would cost the american people between $300 billion ands 400 billion a year. now, sometimes i'm not quite as smart as some of the guys around here, when you talk about billions and trillions of dlarks i like to look and see how does that feactd my state of oklahoma. i have the tax returns filed by oklahomans and i do the math and when you do the math with $300 billion to $400 billion a year, that means it would cost my average taxpayer who files a tax return in oklahoma, a little over $3,100 a year. if that's going to stop the world from coming in, maybe that's whrnlg it. what do you get for that? even lease is jackson, the administrator of the environmental protection agency, and of course she's one that was apopts pointed by president obama, when we asked her -- and i asked they ar her in a public, if we were to pass any of these cap-and-trade bills that would be so costly to americans, what would it do in terms of greenhouse gases? her response was, we wi
