today we reached a milestone. 50 senators will support senator markey's resolution of disapproval. all 49 democrats have signed on to cosponsor and my friend from maine, senator collins has also said she will support. with our full caucus supporting the measure, it's clear that democrats want to keep the internet from becoming a wild west where i.s.p.'s are free to offer premium service to the wealthiest customers while average consumers are left with far interior options. when we force a vote on this bill, republicans in congress will for the first time have the opportunity to right the administration's wrong and show the american people whose side they're on. are they on the side of big internet service providers and corporations or are they on the side of consumers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small business owners? i applaud senator collins for supporting this effort and hope sincerely that more of her colleagues will do the same. given how quickly this measure has earned the support of 50 senators, i believe we have a real chance of success in restoring net neutrality and ke

democratic senator ed markey of massachusetts said the cooler heads seem less reassuring with every tweet president trump sends. >> senator -- a leading republican also raising concerns, senator john cornyn sayi saying i don't know how anybody's interestis are served >> i think the president and the people of this country should be concerned about the mental fitness about the leader of north korea. he's going to make sure he does what he's promised to do. >> politico is also reporting lawmakers concerns about the president's mental state called a professor last month. she warned him about trump saying he's going to unravel and we are seeing the sounds. she also said law maker's concern about the president's dangerousness was surprisingly high. >>> for the third time this two days north korea has spoken to south korea on a newly reopened border lot line. for two years it has been quiet. and now they're using it again. south korea reporting no sin of an imminent missile launch. very policed to have will ripley here. he's got the latest developments live in seoul. they are talking after two

thank you. >>> i want to bring in senator ed markey from massachusetts.ne of the democrats who is opposed to the current government funding bill. let me ask you, first, have you heard anything about what happened in the meeting between your leader and the president and if not, is there anything scheduled so you could get briefed on that. >> the meeting just ended so obviously it is not possible for anyone to know all of the details of what transpired. but i think the bottom line is that senator schumer explained to the president that we're willing to sit down and to negotiate with the white house and with the republicans, thus far that has not happened. we are not in the room. there has been no debate or discussion. so this is a good sign. the president i think is finally realizing that if the government does shutdown, it will be his responsibility. he will be blamed for it. so it is a good first step. but i'm sure that senator schumer said we need prodirections for the d.r.e.a.m.ers, we need funding for child health, or community health centers, for opio

he gave the pen to democratic senator of massachusetts ed markey because he sees that this is -- >> bipartisan. >> it's an action. that legislation passed because -- >> i'm glad you brought it up. >> you don't tell people what happened. you're telling them what may be and what fantasies may happen. >> you shouldn't say national security concerns are fantasies. >> hold on. >> i let you finish. give me a chance. >> you're talking about national security when it comes to russia and the election? >> yes. >> what about national security on the border? then we can count on you and 54 democrats to vote for a wall? national security is border security. >> running away from the question. >> i'm not running away from the question. i just don't find it to be particularly relevant. >> but we must test what you said. >> i just think it's weird. >> that's your opinion. i'm going to keep asking it. >> the opinion of many people. >> we'll see because we don't know what mr. mueller has. for the president to say there's no collusion, he said there was no contact by anybody on his team with anyone from russia. r

that's massachusetts democrat ed markey.talks it the trump shutdown, republicans call tt shit the sc shut down. they're not trying to make negotiations to avert a shutdown at the moment, no attempts to avert it. at the moment attempts to assign blame. we're waiting for the president of the united states any moment now. he's going to step into the rose garden at the white house. he's going to do a video presentation to a rally nearby just before the annual march for life here in washington, d.c. a very important march every year for the anti-abortion movement. the president will speak from there in a moment. we'll take you there live when he does. but first, repression turning to recrimination this morning on the white house lawn. >> i find it really regrettable that for petty partisan reasons playing to the left wing base, you have otherwise responsible members of the senate being willing to shut down the government for this reason. >> you have your scorecard. the white house blames the democrats. so, too, does the republica

here's massachusetts senator ed markey criticizing republicans for the shutdown by attempting to quoteal "hamilton." >> in "hamilton", there's a great scene where -- the greatest song is where hamilton and madison and jefferson, go into the room. it's the room that -- where it happens. but right now, the republicans are all like aaron burr on the outside of the room, even though they control the house, the senate, and the presidency, pretending that they are not the deciders. they are, it's the room where these issues get resolved. [ laughter ] the room where it happens, that they still have not created. >> seth: hear that interview and more on the new album "ed markey butchers 'hamilton.'" [ laughter ] so the question for democrats now, is if they can honestly trust trump to negotiate on immigration giving that trump's position keeps changing depending on who he's talking to. and in particular, there is a group of hardline conservatives in congress and the white house, who whisper in trump's ear every time he's thinking of making a deal. and no one is a better example of that than imm

. >> senator markey. >> thank you, mr. chairman, very much. earlier you did not answer senator carper on whether epa performed an analysis of health impacts of your decision last week to allow significantly more amounts of extremely dangerous pollutants to be put into our air. your decision means that industrial facilities like power plants, our chemical factories, our hazardous waste incinerators will no longer be required to use state of the art technology, the gold standard to reduce these harmful emissions. this should be a very simple answer. there are 187 dangerous pollutants covered by this policy that you have rolled back. let's just go through a few of these. arsenic. do you believe that more arsenic pollution is harmful to the public? >> yes. >> do you believe that more mercury pollution is harmful to the public? >> i do. >> do you believe that more lead pollution is harmful to the public health? >> yes, senator. >> do you believe that more benzene pollution is harmful to the public health? >> yes, sir. >> well, your decision allows

let's start with senator markey warrant from virginia. he said "the word is colder, but the idea that you can write off an entire nation is on namerican.- u not." we are all equal or another -- it has been almost a year under potus. i cannot say anything he says surprises me anymore. senator hatch says "i look forward to getting a more detailed explanation regarding the president's comments. part of what makes america so specialist we welcome the best and the brightest in the world, regardless of the country of origin." you can imagine late-night comedians had a field day. jimmy kimmel from last night. jimmy: the over silver lining as we got to hear wolf blitzer say this all day. s-hole.s s-hole. s-hole. alarm clock. ryan: blitzer watching his words. the country of norway is now trending on twitter as well. larry: that is not the only thing president trump was up to. he was up late tweeting, just before midnight, saying he canceled a trip to england because of barack obama. trump was scheduled to meet at the new u.s. embassy in london nex

senator markey. >> thank you, mr. chair, very much. last month, the fcc gutted the net neutrality rules that protected the internet as we know it. as a result, the next facebook, youtube, twitter will struggle to get off the ground. i strongly oppose that fcc decision, which is why i plan to introduce a congressional review act resolution of disapproval which will undo the fcc's recent actions and restore the 20 15 open order. my resolution enjoys the support of the democrats, susan collins, from maine has indicated she will vote for it. do you support my cra resolution, which would put net neutrality back on the books? mr. monje? >> yes, sir. thank you for your leadership on this issue. it is an important issue for our company and users. >> you would support it? >> yes. >> thank you. >> miss downs. >> we support strong enforceable net neutrality protections and we will support any efforts to put the rules back in place. >> police beckert? >> same answer. we will support the cra and we also support and will work with anybody who is int

. >> nicole and alyssa cordova, every book according to markey ross as its own marketing and publicity strategy. how do you develop that? >> we start by, each book has a publicist assigned to it and we talked to editorial. we look at what it is about this book that's going to sell. that the news is going to want to talk about. it's going to make people click links. we put together a plan and a strategy and a lot of that is what's tied to happening in the news that's relevant to the topic of the book. we get on a call with the author, we talked it out. Ãout some ideas and then usually half of it works out if we are lucky so we are really collaborative here as a team and we bringan author and a lot of their involvement . >> it's important to click on a link, i heard. >> yes, i think a lot of, we do in the digital marketing side is on facebook and we do it a lot on facebook. people are sort of immune to advertising that looks like advertising so a lot of our job is figuring out how to put out content about the book and get people driving traffic to amazon and our website, driving traffic

senator edward markey, for example, tweeted this bordered on presidential malpractice.eeted we cannot let this war of words result in an actual war. however, in the last week, north and south korea have been in communication both about the olympics and borders. the u.s. and south korea agreed they would refrain from military drills during the olympics. and these substantive successes, compared to the escalating tensions during the obama and bush years, beg a question, is trump's approach actually working? perhaps the trump motivation stems from thinking that years of sanctions and the international equivalent of double secret probation have been unsuccessful. the president's inconsistency and willingness to talk about war even recklessly might have kim looking for answers out of fear. now, of course, several other explanations for the recent progress have little to do with president trump. the first and most obvious is that kim may be successfully built a nuclear arsenal. and whether trump wants to admit it or not, north korea can wage nuclear war. with that ability com

but john dean, here's what we are hearing, democrat senator ed markey calling the clinton probe a redivert attention from the russian probe. calling the investigation into the clintons a come to jesus moment for the d 0, j. what do y doj. what do you think of this? >> it would be unprecedented by the department of justice which has a long tradition of trying to keep itself above politics. throughout all the presidencies i've watched and that's certainly been a long tradition. no question there has been a lot of pressure on this department of justice from this president, and from this white house, to do something political with the department of justice. if it started in little rock, as indicated, and is a natural flow from information agents have there, that would be explainable. it's not justifiable, if it comes from washington. >> would it just, quickly, be easily determinable if it was politically motivated? because we have known president trump wanted this for sometime and the ag has spoken out about it. >> if the fbi has been pressured into it, i don't think they'll be putting ou

chairman. >> thank you, senator markey. senator cantwell is next. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and ranking member, thank you for holding this hearing. when it comes to the pacific northwest i guarantee you with tsunamis and earthquakes and volcanos, flooding, worried about -- we pay a lot of attention to disaster issues. and i'm reminded, having been on the committee for some time, our former colleague senators stevens and inua spent a lot of development on what is the buoy system, what is our earliest detection on the waves so we can have this information. and now noah is working on the additional information to get the information to hand held devices. it is -- i think we need to be thankful that we've made the investment in technology. i think the question becomes who in the federal government owns the protocols for making sure that the coordination happens at the state and local level if so many of the partners in the development of that communication, or the communication itself, for example, the weather service, who i know isn't with us this morning, how do we m

there's legislation in congress from ted lieu and senator markey to ensure there will be some congressional involvement in any use. the president trump probably does not know that someone -- i don't know how he feels about him. henry kissinger, senator nunn, former clinton secretary william perry have come out for the abolition of nuclear weapons, as have the majority of countries in the world through the general assembly at the united nations last year, putting through a treaty. believe.ns i to seek the build down and end of nuclear weapons. that is true security, not a president who talks and rattles his thumbs and fingers and twitter feed against the leader of north korea. nor is a president who tries to decertify the iran agreement, which is in our security interest. and if it is broken, will lead to more nuclear proliferation and less security. this president is clueless when it comes to what real security is. and he is out of step with the majority of americans who listen to him on the campaign trail $6n he spoke of the waste of trillion in the middle east that could rebuild this coun

senator edward markey said this bordered on presidential malpractice and he continued "we cannot lets war of words result in an actual war." however, in the last week, north and south korea have been in communication about both the olympics and borders. the u.s. and south korea declared that they will refrain from military drills during the olympics, and then the really big news is that south and north korea officials will have their first major peace talks in over two years. these substantive successes compared to the escalating tensions during the obama and bush years beg a question -- is trump's approach actually working? perhaps the trump motivation stems from thinking that years of sanctions and the international equivalent of double secret probation have been unsuccessful. the president's inconsistency and willingness to talk about war, even recklessly might have kim looking for answers out of fear. now of course, several other explanations for the recent progress have little to do with president trump. the first and most obvious is that kim may be successfully build a nuclear

senator markey has expressed his concerns. did not hear the opportunity for you to respond and to share your thoughts on this. i want to give you an opportunity to share your thoughts and analysis on the decision you made in the reasoning behind it. >> thank you chairman. the senator made reference with his comments that there was always a decision was about incentivizing investment by incentivizing companies to achieve better outcomes. the policy says that the major emitters make investment and achieve the outcomes to improve air quality or whatever the objectivist. if they meet them they should be rewarded. is, if your company and invested to improve outcomes, you ought to be considered a minor under the statute once make those investments. is to achieve better outcome. i believe that we can achieve better outcomes. >> i like to take another step with regard to sound science. we had discussion about the need to return back. we feel that in some cases we either win or lose when more information is interjected. i think we take

within the democratic party, and one of them joins me, democrat democrat massachusetts senator, ed markey. thanks for making time. you voted on something that would have kept the government closed tonight. why? >> well, i've been saying, now, through the fourth now continuing resolution that i was not going to vote for another continuing resolution. which is a cr, which, in republican hands means cannot resolve. until they resolve this issue of the daca, td.r.e.a.m.ers, and once again they did not do so, and they did not give the defense department a budget for the year. they did not give community health centers a budget for the year. they did not give families who need opioid treatment a budget for the year. they did not give to texas and florida and puerto rico the disaster funding which they need. so this has been going on since october first. it's now almost a third of the way through the fiscal year, and the republicans have yet to finish any of those things, they continue to hold each of those programs hostage. so my vote -- >> i have to ask you this. and i understand what you're s

he gave the pen to democratic senator ed markey because he sees -- >> bipartisan spirit. >> it's an action. >> i'm glad you brought it up. >> you won't tell people what's happening. you're telling them what may be and what fantasies may actually come true one day, five years maybe into an investigation. >> that's not true. and by the way, you shouldn't dismiss national security concerns as fantasy. you shouldn't say it doesn't exist. >> i don't dismiss. >> hold on. >> i let you finish. >> you're talking about national security when it comes to russia and the election, what about national security when it comes to the border? we count on 54 democrats in 2014 to vote for a wall? >> running away -- >> national security is border security and also includes the fact -- >> you're running away from the question. you're running away from the division. of course you are. >> i understand why you don't like it, i just think it's weird. >> that's your opinion. >> i'm going to keep asking it until we get the answers. we'll see because we don't know what mr. mueller has, and for the president to say, he

. >> that's senator markey of massachusetts. earlier today, chuck schumer traveled to the white house to sit down with president trump, but no agreement was made. here they go. >> i'm going to be brief. i'm not going to answer any questions. okay. we had a long and detailed meeting. we discussed all of the major outstanding issues. we made some progress. but we still have a good number of disagreements. the discussions will continue. >> well, late today, the president tweeted, excellent preliminary meeting in oval with senator schumer. working on solutions for security and our great military together with senator mcconnell and speaker ryan. making progress. four-week extension would be best. wow, that was the president of the united states tweeting. anyway, a government shutdown seems to be a fitting close to a chaotic year in the trump administration. and happens to co inside with the one-year anniversary of his inauguration. the president delayed plans to travel to mar-a-lago for a lavish celebration marking the sell braise. o

for the president to sign the interdict act, i cosponsored that bill with senator rubio, senator markey, and senator brown. what that toes is give our cuss tom and -- cuss tom and -- -- maybe china through mexico, we need to equip our border control agents to be able to stop that, interdict the flow of that lethal substance. just this week, the "hill" had an op-ed about martinsburg. they have a community school partnership, it is with berkeley county schools and shepherd university along with the washington-baltimore hida. it is intervention and treatment for families to help prevent the gimtion of -- beginnings of addictions to opioids. i want to highlight what some of the local communities are doing in my state to try to get to comprehensive spectrum of solutions. so this is a new scholarship program that was developed by fruth pharmacy, that will allow people who have completed addiction recovery programs to get a jump-start on the college, education, and career training. the founders of the program started because they wanted to encourage people who had been successful to get back i

. >> diane feinstein next to her, but mitch mcconnell talking to corker and ed markey of massachusetts in front of them, klobuchar of minnesota. sorry, the evening is already getting late. it's 11:44 p.m. here on the east coast. at some point they're probably going to turn on the microphones and we're probably going to hear from the majority leader. we will endeavor to a great extent to bring you that the moment we hear audio from the senate floor. we don't have live streaming microphones. we don't have the ability to listen in on these conversations. you can bet everything we would love to listen in on that conversation for starters. and we do have a little -- there's been a breakup in the scrum as some of the republicans are going back to their side. so we'll see here. jonathan lemere, you have a note before we have a member of congress we can talk to. >> yeah, first of all the next moment of levity in perhaps what has been a stressful evening to this point. gist noting that the white house is obviously watching with keen interest what's going on here. they have called a lid, which m

the vice chair and ranking democrat of the committee is senator markey warner. >> being on the committeeleast until recently had not been all that high attention-getting. we spent hundreds and hundreds of hours every month in a skiff. one of the things i find so rewarding about the intelligence committee's work is on issue after issue, you could not tell who was a democrat and republican. we'll take it in extraordinary seriously. at this exemption is granted, you could potentially have any administration go off and take on covert activities. no ability ofith our committee to say wait a minute. we actually disagree with that policy. so i've been very disturbed by the whole process and how this got attempted to get slipped in. i as well as the chairman, no member would choose to object. if they do choose to object, hope they will be able to explain to the american public why they would want to remove the intelligence committees and then, ifnitor we make a decision, withdraw funding if we do not agree and have that ongoing tool, one of the most key components of our oversight committee, why

for more on the outburst and the reaction it has sparked we are joined now by daniel markey — authorsh made the calculation that they would tolerate the pakistani government not act too ha rd the pakistani government not act too hard with them in order to keep them stable. yes. because of the fear of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of extremists. president trump seems to be inching towards a different decision. yeah, this looks like a much more coercive approach than anything we've seen before. i would suggest both presidents bush and 0bama before also had the hope that by providing incentives the united states could gradually win pakistan over to our way of thinking about the war in afghanistan. less carrot and more stick? exactly. what would that look like? a greater stick is cutting off the carrots that have been flowing. we're seeing a restriction of aid across the board. likely cutting of $255 million in military assistance that was being held in a kind of escrow account to see if pakistan would come forward on attacking groups like the acannesy network and —— hakani netw

senator markey. >> last month the sec gutted the net neutrality rules that protected the internet as we know it and as a result the next facebook in the next youtube and the next printer will start her to get off the ground. i strongly opposed that fcc decision which is why i plan to introduce a congressional review act resolution of disapproval which will undo the sec's recent actions and restore the 15 open internet border. my resolution enjoys the support of democrats susan collins, senator from maine she will vote for it. my question to each company here is simple. you support my cra resolution will put net neutrality back on the books? >> yes sir. thank you for your leadership on this issue. >> he would support it, thank you. >> we support strong and forceful net neutrality protections. we supported the 2015 roles and we will support any effort to put those rules back in place. >> thank you. >> thank you, senator. same answer. we will support cra and we also support will work with anybody who is interested in working to find a way to put those rules back in place. >> thank you.

i could see it happening but i still say something will happen to prevent it. >> you heard ed markeytions for daca. i don't know how you get that. >> what do you think? >> i'm thinking there will be one. i feel like the president can kind of shift the blame. i'm worried about that. susan page, what's your gut? >> i think there's no trust. that enables you to get to a deal. i think the odds favor a shutdown. >> and republicans need 11 democrats in the senate, is that right, to keep the government open? i mean, i just don't see how that happens. i would hate to be those 11 democrats that helped donald trump scrap daca. >> there's not much of a political incentive for democrats to help republicans with anything. this is almost a test. if there's anything you're going to help, keep the government open. the momentum is certainly this is the closest we've come. my prediction will be a last. minute deal to avoid it temporarily but we're close. >> i kind of think there's going to be a last-minute deal. >> okay, we shall see. >> what about you? >> joe. >> you've been through this. >> yeah. >>

markey: again, i thank you, mr. president, very much. mr.president, we are here today because republicans and president trump have failed in their most basic responsibility as the governing party, bringing us mere hours away from an unnecessary and consequential government shutdown. letsd -- let's be clear. with republicans in control of the white house, the senate, and the house of representatives, the only person to blame if the government shuts down will be president donald trump. later today, i plan to vote no on the government funding bill that the house of representatives has sent over to the senate because it provides no certainty or resolution for dreamers, pensioners, veterans, the people of puerto rico or vulnerable children and patients across the country. i cannot support legislation that fails to ensure that we are fulfilling our moral and constitutional obligation to the american people. sadly, this budget process is just a continuation of a pattern from republicans in congress, draft major picy in secret with no debe, no democ

senator ed markey of massachusetts. >> he did take half of the first question and turn it into a net neutrality answer. anyhow, ten minutes are left in the trading day today. dow jones industrial average around the highs of the day, up 322 points up next, more on the record rally as we count you down to the close. so i got an offer on the business, and now i'm thinking... i'd like to retire early. oh, that's great sarah. let's talk about this when we meet next week. how did edward jones come to manage a trillion dollars in assets under care? jay. sarah. so i have a few thoughts on that early retirement... by focusing our mind on whatever's on yours. yes or no?gin. do you want the same tools and seamless experience across web and tablet? do you want $4.95 commissions for stocks, $0.50 options contracts? $1.50 futures contracts? what about a dedicated service team of trading specialists? did you say yes? good, then it's time for power e*trade. the platform, price and service that gives you the edge you need. looks like we have a couple seconds left. let's do some card twirling twirling

in 1999, along with congressman now senator ed markey i cofounded the congressional task force on alzheimer's disease which i still co-chair today to bring this disease to the forefront of the congressional agenda, to advance support for federal research and to increase awareness. the task force worked in partnership with the alzheimer's association to unanimously past the project act 375 which established an advisory committee of private and federal experts to work with the secretary of hhs to comprehensively assess and address alzheimer's research, institutional services and home and community based care to identify a goal modifying therapy for dementia by 2025. today there are over 170 members of the house and senate in the task force. this year we worked very hard in a bipartisan way to get an increase of some 414 million to the alzheimer's research funding at n.i.h. under hhs tom coles leadership, the 2018 bill was enacted. it was passed in september of this year including the $400 million increase for millions disease research at the national institutes of health. this would bring total
