>> i'm joined now by senator edward markey of massachusetts. senator, let me ask you about what it meant to you personally. you served with ted kennedy all those years. how did you feel walking into the replica of the united states senate, into his office, that replica? >> well, what john f. kennedy meant to the presidency of the united states, to an entire generation, that's what ted kennedy meant to the united states senate. he made impossible dreams come true because he was the greatest senator of all-time. he kept crossing the aisle over to trent lott, to john mccain, to orrin hatch, to nancy kassebaum to find a way to make the senate work, to make a way for the country to work. and that senate that has been recreated down to the finest detail at the edward m. kennedy institute is going to be a place where young people all across our country can visit and to have the debates in a civil way that can show them the pathway to making our country work. >> i'll get back to you in a second on that one. let's look now at republican senator john mcc

the point that senator thune was just making 1993 senator markey and congressman markey created section 332 of the communications act in the house which was sought by the wireless industry. when i asked to be treated as title ii common carriers and to have forbearance from parts of the act that are no longer appropriate in a monopoly situation. that included specifically as a decision by congress section 201 so the kind of example that was just raised about section 201b being some kind of a backdoor into rate regulation has existed for 22 years in the wireless industry and the commission has not been confronted and has not acted in this kind of way that suggested some kind of backdoor regulation. in fact what has happened is with the absence of consumer rate regulation, that industry has been incredibly successful. the wireless voice industry has had $300 billion in investment since them and it was that model that is actually more forbearance than was created for the wireless industry that we patterned the open internet order on so that it is not your grandfather's title ii. title ii ha

the truth is, in that hearing, i don't know if he saw the entire hearing but the hearing, senator markey from massachusetts was holding up, i might be wrong but it was a quad copper. they were talking about drones but it was talked about in the common name for uav. correct? caller: sure. the thing about these items is that you can use them for good and bad. you can have an item like a handgun. many people can own those responsibly and use them recreationally but then he can have some people of bad character who decided she people. it is unfortunate -- who decide to shoot people. it is unfortunate for people cannot have dressed because we're not going to be able to -- people are going to be spying, strapping bombs to them. but good people, like myself who owns a drone, or a quad copt er, identifying it and shooting scenery pictures i can't get with a regular camera, but there are going to be those who do something wrong. but that person, whether the faa regulates them are not, is so going to do that -- is still going to do that. i would appreciate the guidance the faa has and all the comm

senator markey: -- senator: i was first brought to understand the keystone project which was under way and trying to get built and i was asked a question what do you think? i looked at it very quickly and i look at how much oil we buy from other countries around the world the same type of oil we buy about 750,000 barrels a day from venezuela, and i am thinking, i would rather buy from my friends, enemies. the people who take the proceeds and profit from us buying their product and using it against us. i was very clear on that and i think most west virginia and feel the way i do. 40% of this line is already built. 40% of this line is our needles. this is the part that we are talking about that has not been built that we would like to build. in the capacity, we have talked about 12% of that volume of this would be north american. we are moving our oil, producing our oil, buying for my friendliest neighbor and our ally canada, and it makes us more secure it as a nation. i have heard all arguments. oh, my goodness. we cannot do this because it will come straight down and go out. they make

markey: thank you mr. president. mr. president, protecting the president's approval of the keystone pipeline act is about the review of this project. the president deserves to have all the input from the different agencies delivered to him so he can make his decision. so today in the vote that we will be having shortly, we are saying that the president should be able to exercise his prerogative to review the pipeline and to decide whether or not it is in the national interest to have this pipeline constructed through the united states of america. but we are also protecting his prerogative to decide in the end because this is a pipeline that should be rejected on its merits. the pipeline fails the test on job creation. after it's built, it will only have 35 to 40 permanent jobs that the united states will have on its soil. meanwhile, we should be having a debate about the wind production tax credit because if we extended that, we would keep 30,000 people working permanently here in the united states as this wind revolutio

markey: thank you mr. president. i just want to follow on to the comments that we were being articulated by the senator from vermont. he's done an excellent job in laying out these issues for the american people to deliberate upon this week as we debate the budget of the united states of america. right now, millions of americans are gripped by march madness and the final four showdown. but for our nation's seniors and the middle class the real march madness is happening right here with the proposed republican budget. our country isn't like the big dance. america was not built on a zero-sum game where one side wins and the other side loses. but that's exactly what this republican budget does. it picks winners and it picks losers. so let's take a look at the g.o.p.'s budget bracket. the republican final four features their perennial favorites, in the first game they have seniors versus special interests. well in this republican budget it removes 11 million families from medicaid, including 400,000 seniors in my state o

senator markey and i have introduced a bill that would introduce an isis-specific resolution. if congress chose to include a three-your sunset on the 2001 authorization, would be your view that it would be sensible>? even though you cannot ensure that the operation against those responsible for the attacks on our country during september 11 -- that it be up to the next ministration in the iphone sil campaign? i cannot give you a clear answer to that question. let me tell you why. >> which have now extended for 14 years. there is still al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, we need to protect ourselves. we need the authority to protect ourselves. there is now a 14 year history of the tenacity of al qaeda and its offshoots -- their intent to attack our country. take that into account whether it makes sense to put a sunset on that one. this one we are embarking with isil, it is a new campaign and new group. in my statement, i said i respect the desire to have a sunset clause that does not derive from any characteristic of the campaign and i know of yet. to predict that it will wrap u

senator markey talked about vagueness. it is pretty specific in 2001 when we were supposed to do. i was on favor of that state we had to do what we had to do in afghanistan with those who attacked us. if we have to go to other places, we should have other authorizations. i'm not saying that i won't vote for authorizations, we just need to have them. we have a new authorization that says we do not authorize into a ring and offensive operation. the problem is that it is so vague that i trust the military when the military says that this is not what we are conflict desk contemplating. i trust you. there may be a president who i may not trust. i have a certain degree of a lack of trust in this president who says it is not contemplated. the next president can say that is. is it 100,000? that would be my question is secretary carter. were saying that it is not 6000 thousand -- we are not saying it is 60,000. is it 100,000? >> there should be a number that reflects the basic approach that this draft or proposed a umf takes. this is to not attempt to you numerate or number but to set a sk

aldrin: senator cruz, senator nelson, senator markey, senator udall, senate committee on space sciencend competitiveness. i want to take the opportunity to speak to you about the future of human spaceflight. this is an honor and i have plus you for raising this issue so early in this session. america must be the world leader on human spaceflight. there is no other policy area that so clearly demonstrates american innovation and enterprise. american leadership is more than just simply getting one step ahead of our global come headed towards. -- global competitors. american leadership is inspiring the world by consistently doing what no other nation is capable of doing. we demonstrated that for a brief time 45 years ago. if we wish to retain leadership in space, i believe that early in the next administration, the nation must commit to developing a permanent presence on mars. another apollo like mission to put flags and footprints does not brings sustained results. i have a multi-decade plan which will establish world leadership for the remainder of the century. it includes initial landi

. >> 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 very much. 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 forces. 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 resolution, of course, was also the basis for the justification of the committee. because even in the absence of

senator ed markey sits on the senate subcommittee for consumer protection.and guess what they were sold. >> yeah and that's wrong. you have to assume that when there's a brand-new car with that new car smell in it that there are no defects. >> reporter: nitza has 51 people on that enforcement team. we have a couple of producers looking at this why can't ntsb do it? >> nhtsa should have done this work. it shouldn't take an investigation by abc to find this problem. nhtsa is now put on notice its job is to be the cop on the beat. >> reporter: and nhtsa declined to do an on camera interview but tells us there is no excuse for dealers to sell them. the makers of our truck, gm says they tell dealers not to sell them with open recalls. ways to check if your car is affected. you can use the my car fax app or check the nhtsa database. we posted links to those on our website, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! but, remember guy, these are brand-new cars. you shouldn't have these issues. >> and they did fix it for free in your case right? >> he did and guess how long it
