here to tell us his solution is senator markey live from capitol hill this morning.to see you again. >> good morning. >> this report made big waves this week, it was on all the nightly news programs last night. is your argument that automakers are not doing enough to keep up with the technology that they're basically putting into our cars? >> yes, it is. we have moved from the internal combustion era for vehicles to the computer era. and we want the computer era if for vehicles, but with it, we also want the safeguards that are built in to make sure that the safety of drivers, of passengers is protected and the privacy of those that use these vehicles is also protected because hackers can just move in, take over a vehicle or take control of your information, in a way that could be harmful to individuals. the same way that health care companies and retail companies are finding their information is being hacked, the same thing can happen with a vehicle and we have to ensure that the money is spent to install the technology that protects families all across our country

well this new report from senator edward markey ever markey of massachusetts, all of those are systems are vulnerable, in some cases very vulnerable to hacking. when you hit the brakes your foot is really only a small part of what really stops the car. a tiny computer called an electronic control unit is actually in control to bring you to a safe stop. the problem a new report says, is that system is vulnerable to hackers who could take control of your car. the report comes from ed markey of massachusetts. the key findings, most new cars on the market use technologies that could be vulnerable to hacking. most makers either didn't know or couldn't say whether they'd been hacked, knowing about hacking much policehacking much less whether they could guard against it. at least 50% of auto makers transmit that data wirelessly, and it may not be secure. link your smartphone to the car and you've often given vehicle your contacts your text messages your phone history. but the real danger is that driving itself is soon going to involve almost endless amounts of wireless data and we'll be depen

today senator markey issued two comments.rivers have come to rely on these new technologies. he's talking about whether it's autonomous features or whether it's wireless features. but unfortunately, automakers haven't done their part to protect us from cyber-attacks or privacy invasions. he goes on to say, new standards are needed to plug security and privacy gaps in our cars and trucks. now, we reached out to the american automobile alliance, which is basically the trade association for all auto manufacturers here in the united states, and we said to them, look, what's being done about this? although there have been no reports of automobiles being hacked, while somebody is driving it, this report and clearly the evidence shows that it is possible what do you have to say? and the automobile alliance responded by saying auto energies incorporates security solutions into vehicles from the very first stages of design and production and security testing never stops. that's true. but i can tell you guys this. when i've talked with

espionage operation is by definition a secret undertaking so it is full of shadowy characters in markey doings but making matters much worse in the case of the story is a plan that almost all of the pre-existing accounts or full of hopelessly muddled stories muddled by exaggeration, model by misdirection and lies in both official and unofficial. and that made it tracking the truth is very slippery business. the history of the british spies working in america that is to say the history of our allies and spying on our allies, france -- friends spying on friends, is a story that a lot of people wanted to forget both wanted to suppress so it is a particularly tangled mess. in working on this book i was frequently reminded of a line from one of my favorite westerns, the man who shot liberty valance. in the movie that jimmy stewart character asks the newspaper editor if the truth of what happened will ever really come out. and a newspaper editor says no sir, this is the west, when the legend becomes fact, print the legend. with intelligence reports is that they're pretty much the same. a cert

of knowing about the hack or defending against it and then when it came to privacy senator mark markey'se said, a very interesting revealing look at a whole sort of blind spot in the used car parlance in the auto industry. >> let's project this out a few years. what are the threats we're looking at and the sort of highly connecting cars we're likely to see in the future. >> that's really the question here. we're not talking about inconvenience or, more and more cars are beginning to speak to one another. that is the question of saving your life. i had the experience of sitting in a system where one is supposed to warn each other of a collision. >> right now we are a scenario where we would be going normally through a green light but now suddenly there is someone running the red and the cars communicate and warn each other basically that that is about to happen. that kind of system tony is something we're going to become more and more dependent on. the cars are telling us how to park not to change lanes because there's a car there. as we get into the system of cars warning each other and

senator markey's office found most car-makers collect a lot of data including where you drive, park sit during the day. 50% of automakers transmit it wirelessly and it may not be secure. you usually don't find out and you can't opt out without disabling features like navigation. link it to the car, and you have given contacts text messages but the real danger is driving will involve endless amounts of wirelessly transmitted data and we'll depend on that to keep us alive. >> we are simulating a scenario where we'd be going through a green light. now someone is running the red. and the cars communicate and warn each other that that is about to happen. kill switches have been installed allowing them to deactivate the car if payments are missed. if they can be remotely accessed. it gives potential criminals a view of daily habize a sense of where we live and a chance to take over the vehicle. >> still ahead - a youtube milestone. >> here we are in front of the elephant. >> 10 years ago today the first video appeared on the web site. a look at how far the company has come and where it's head

note is when the democrats put compromise proposals on the floor of the senate on keystone senators markey and franklin from minnesota put proposals to make sure keystone was built with american steel, make sure the oil was kept in the united states to in fact guarantee the prices continue to stay low, even the republican senate would not compromise on those two basic core ideas which shouldn't be controversial. it goes back to the point that regrettably it is republican senate and house republicans have an inability to compromise amongst themselves least of all show any ability to govern with democrats. >> thank you for your time. greatly appreciate you joining us. >>> coming up, captors of an american woman kidnapped in nigeria demand $300,000 ransom for her return. up next new details from the scene. >>> and grounded. southwest takes nearly one fifth of its fleet out of service after missing required inspections. it is one of the stories we are following around the "newsnation." and this. >>> we have come a long way and we have a little bit further to go. >> in a surprise result, chicag

markey: i rise in support of michael botticelli and our effort today to confirm him as the director of the office of national drug control policy. the state of massachusetts like too many other regions of this nation, is being ravaged by the scourge of prescription drug and heroin addiction that is breaking apart families and burying communities under a mountain of despair. massachusetts experienced 114 deaths in december, and that doesn't count our biggest cities like boston and worcester and springfield. drug overdose deaths fueled by prescription painkillers approximately 100 americans die from an overdose every day. as a senator from massachusetts i have a deep appreciation and respect for michael botticelli's accomplishments, addressing addiction during his nearly two decades serving in the massachusetts department of public health, he is a public health and drug policy pioneer and he lived in my hometown of malden massachusetts while did he this job. immediately prior to joining the office of national drug control policy as deputy director, mr. botticelli was the director of the

so the problem with farm subsidies and this is what i think it maybe markey touching on on that jay gives us a critique a special-interest critique of government. think what he leaves out is the central planning critique of government and maybe that's a separate book. the problem with farm subsidies is not so much the special-interest problem but a central planning problem. farmed subsidies are always distortionary no matter what the structure of government. the same with medicare which is a tremendous chapter that if you want a good introduction to some of the distortions of the medicare system this book is a good place to go. the problem with medicare is not the special-interest handout. there is unfairness and loopholes but it's a central planning problem. medicare soviet style central planning price control system. medicare is thousands of prices on providers that are imposed on providers and doctors that cause a tremendous amount of distortion. but you see the same sorts of distortions another sorts of government systems in other countries. so jay ignores i think the basic adam smith

markey: thank you mr. president. to discuss the important trade issues facing our nation. in massachusetts, we know what a good trade deal looks like and what a bad trade deal looks like. remember we're the ones that traded babe ruth so we know a bad trade deal when we see one. and right now in massachusetts we are seeing the united states negotiate two significant agreements the trans-pacific partnership in asia and the trans-pacific trade investment in europe. both of these agreements would establish binding rules on a wide range of issues, labor rights energy, the environment, medicine pricing patents, internet freedom and innovation. the scope goes far beyond the previous trade deals that focused on tariffs or access to markets. these trade deals need to meet several criteria in order to be acceptable. number one workers' rights. it is critically important that both trade deals protect workers' rights. when we put goods on a ship, we can't do it by casting off workers' rights. these deals need to benefit the midd

. >> senator markey. >> thank you, mr. chairman, very much. thank you general so much for your service. in the authorization for the use of military force text that the administration provided to this committee, it said it would prohibit enduring ground forces. and this was meant to convey that large numbers of troops wouldn't be on the ground for a long time. whatever that means. i voted for the 2001 resolution and i'm reminded that the u.s. combat operations in afghanistan were dubbed operation enduring freedom. we are now past 13 years in that enduring fight and that resolution, of course, was also the basis for the justification of our actions in somalia, in yemen and the administration is saying quite clearly that they oppose the repeal of that. and that the operations that are going on right now in fact are consistent with that 2001 resolution. now that causes great problems to me and i think many members of the committee. because even in the absence of the passage of a new amuf, the administration is maintaining that they have the autho

members of congress led by senator cory booker and co-sponsored by senators claire mccaskill, ed markeyh seeks to remove state barriers for constructing municipal broadband networks. it is unfortunate however that this issue has become a partisan one as of late because it was not always that way. indeed in 2005, an effort by senators john mccain, lindsey graham norm coleman, john kerry, russ feingold and the late frankxd lautenberg sought to block states from restricting local governments abilitylz to provide internet service through the community broadband act of 2005. when the bill was reintroduced in 2007, senators-the late senator ted stevens, olympia snowe and gordon smith co-joined as co-sponsors. across the hall, a house version of the bill, co-sponsored by representatives fred upton and rick [zmu(rq) made it not quite, but it was y but what is strikinga5 s that the language in all of these bills is nearly identical. the only thing that has changed is the lack of bipartisan support. so i am hopeful that in this time in time,v unite across party lines to endorse measures that will

markey: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, everyone agrees that our immigration system is broken. the immigration system we have now hurts our economy and it hurts our national security. the senate passed a bipartisan immigration bill. the house of representatives chose not to act. again, the senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill. that's why i supported the executive action by president obama to address our immediate immigration crisis. we cannot wait for the house of representatives' republicans to act. and that's because immigration is one of our country's greatest strengths. immigrants are a vital part of the fabric of massachusetts and of our country. they start businesses, they create jobs, and they contribute to our communities. the president's executive order recognizes the value of immigrants to our country. president obama's executive order will bring millions of law-abiding immigrants out of the shadows and help to keep those families together. the order allows law enforcement to focus its resourc

it's my understanding that senator markey is under a time constraint, and i think the ranking member is going to let you have her time. it's my understanding also that senator fischer has some time constraints and i'll be very happy to yield my time to her for questions. we're going to have eight-minute rounds. senator fischer? >> thank you mr. chairman for your courtesy and thank you ranking member. thank you, miss mccabe for being here today. i'm glad to have the opportunity to talk with you about the impacts of your power plant rules on my home state of nebraska. as you know nebraska is the only state in the nation with the wholly publically owned utility power sector. public power utilities are cost-based entities with no profit motivation or obligation to provide stakeholder dividends. that is vitally important i believe to keep in mind as epa considers these proposed rules. the compliance cost will be directly borne by nebraska residents through their electric rates. today i would like to touch on some of the concerns raised in the public comment period by my state's public pow
