markey to speak to you. and i thank him so much, and thank the staff as well for hosting this event. as many of you know, senator markey spearheaded the effort in congress to get coppa passed. and we were so pleased to be able to work with him. he is a pioneer in all of these areas. and a promoter and defender of the public interest for media and telecommunications. i can't even list all the many things that senator markey has done, but he is always holding the industry accountable. he is never stopping, never -- i remember on some of the issues you worked on, you know, how you triumphed on the floor of the house. when he was in the house on many of these issues, against all odds, he's incredible. and on other issues as well. on financial protection, on safety and health issues, even roller coasters. so every time i go to the amusement park and see that roller coaster, i think of senator markey. and i never get on the roller coaster. i have news four. a -- i have news for you. i am honored and pleased to hav

thank you very, very much, senator markey. i wanted to just talk for a few minutes to give a little bit of background to amplify what the senator shared with you and to lay the groundwork for today's discussion. as the senator mentioned, jeff and i led the campaign to get kappa passed. sometimes we call ourselves the mama and papa of capa and that's just how we feel about it. i just wanted to show you one slide from the mid-'90s when we first started our efforts and -- pardon me? and to remind people we've come a long way in positive and not so positive terms. this is a website we actually went after and filed a complaint against with the federal trade schigz befo commission before capa and that laid a groundwork for the law and it was a wild west era when companies were seeing this internet as such a great new vehicle that they could use to target children to go after them with very aggressive marketing and because it was interactive to engage with them and develop relationships with them, and it is also a time when a lot of

democratic senator ed markey of massachusetts is joining us.e is a member of the foreign relations committee. thank you for joining us. what do these developments tell you right now about where robert mueller's investigation stands? >> well, it is clear that the white house is stonewalling on the one hand. they don't want to answer questions. in order to make sure that that is successful, they're trying to have whitaker take over at the justice department, and consistent with his promises in the past, his prejudicial comments in the past to defund the investigation, to severely limit the scope of the investigation, all towards the goal of making sure that the american people never get the answers to what happened in 2016 in any potential collusion between the russian government and the trump campaign. >> you're clearly very concerned about the new acting attorney general of the united states, matthew whitaker. he has already taken over for jeff sessions, who is out of there. what can you do realistically about that? >> well, there is going to b

markey: thank you, mr. president. i thank senator whitehouse. senator whitehouse has been out here on the floor week after week after week sounding the warning, like churchill, that there is danger ahead, that there is a gathering storm, but it's not met forric -- metaphorical as was for churchill. it's real. it's a gathering storm. what senator whitehouse has been doing year after year after year is coming out here on the floor to document this gathering storm and to warn that we have to take action. and i want to thank senator whitehouse for his incredible historic leadership because now between the united nations and united states scientists, all the evidence is now there. and my belief is the failure that you talked about to heed the dire warnings on climate change is much more now than that figurative gathering storm. it is literally gathering much fiercer energy, supercharged storms that will bear down on our shores as a result of our warming crisis. scientists have shot off the warning flare. in the last two months, we have received two o

senator markey. >> thank you, mr. chairman. ms.moy, should companies be able to tell consumers that if they don't agree to share nonessential data, they cannot receive the service or the product? >> no. no, they should be able to tell consumers that. i think that really gets back to the idea, to the question of what constitutes choice in a notice or choice. even if we have notice of choice, which is as i said before i think not enough, think we still need use restrictions as well but a choice as to be a real choice. this is something the gdpr does well. it has consent must be freely given. when the company says except for practices with your data or don't use the service, that's not a free choice. >> should companies be allowed to offer financial incentives in exchange for americans personal information? >> i i support a general, i support skepticism towards financial incentives for certain data practices. because i do recognize while there may be a value that consumers enjoy in exchange for the data, as mr. mactaggart just mention

we established a select committee that you referenced, headed by ed markey of massachusetts. he did a spectacular job of shining the spotlight on the crisis that our planet is facing and to do so in a way that has full documentation from the generals. hey said it was a national security issue from health care care providers, that this is a public health issue, clean air, clean water. on our economy that we must remain preeminent as number one in the world on green technologies and that it is a moral issue. if you believe this is a right and this is god's creation and evangelicals certainly do and we must be good stewards. then we must act upon it. even if you don't share that religious belief, if you understand that we are -- have a moral responsibility to the next generation to pass the planet on in a responsible way. but it is urgent. it was urgent when we established it in 2007 and even more urgent now. it has always been a challenge with these standing committees and we will have conversations about some of the objections they may have. but there is tremendous interest on

thank you to my colleague, senator markey, and to senator whitehouse. i'm pleased to join both of you who have done such a tremendous job in leading on this issue of trying to get everyone to wake up to the challenges that we face from climate change and what that's going to mean, not just for us in new england but for people across this country and across the globe. last week, as you all have said -- and maybe the reason we feel so passionate about this is because we see it. we see it happening already in new england, as my colleagues detailed so well. we're on the cutting edge of these changes, and you don't have to have lived in new hampshire for very long to see what's happening as a result of climate change. last week the u.s. global change research program released its fourth national climate assessment, and that details the profound effect that climate change is having and is going to continue to have on the environment, on the economy, and on our public health. the report makes it abundantly clear that every american -- every american -- is affe

that senator markey started to raise. earlier this year the confirmation hearing for most of you, i discussed the possibility of the ftc examining the issue of children in the video game space. specifically, we discussed loot boxes which allow end-game purchases with real currency for surprise winnings and most of you agreed that this is an area that could use additional oversight by the ftc. loot boxes are now endemic in the video game industry and are present in everything from casual smartphone games to the newest, high-budget video game releases. loot boxes will represent a $50 billion industry by the year 2022. according to the latest research estimates. children may be particularly susceptible to engaging with these end game purchases, which are often considered integral components of video games, just this month great britain's gambling commission released a report finding that 30% of children have used loot boxes in video games. the report further found that this exposure may correlate with a rise of young problem

i along with senators markey and udall wrote the ftc about this incident. and i hope for a response today. this issue is about big tech. and congress is fed up. it's about big tech no longer being entitled to say to america, trust us. big tech is no longer entitled to that trust. if it ever was. and big tech maybe is no longer entitled to be as big as it is. misuse of bigness can be in violation of anti-trust laws. there may be nothing that prohibits the amassment of market power. but misuse of that power can violate anti-trust laws. so it's not only privacy, consumer protection, but also anti-trust that has to be assessed. you all know, america is well aware, that we all carry with us the most sophisticated tracking devices ever invented. our phones monitor our movements on a minute by minute basis. they are privy to the most intimate conversations. we use them as credit cards and to monitor our health. they may know us better than we know ourselves. and the ones collecting the data yielded by those phones know us the best of all. that is also big tech. an

it has to do with another issue that interestingly enough, senator markey in massachusetts and a coupleof us from california, and the midwest, introduce add-- introduced a bill called escape. it provides money for municipalities to develop escape routes, principal problem in the paradise issue was that there was two roads out of town, both of them narrow, both with heavy brush along the side of the road and many of the people, if not most of them died as they were trying to escape the fire. so, this piece of legislation may work-- >> i'm sorry, we've got a wrap. i wanted to ask you yes or no before we go. i'd be we miss if i didn't ask about nancy pelosi, are you going to vote for her for next speaker of the house? >> absolutely, i voted for her before and will vote for her again. she's a strong leader, very powerful, very wise and knows the intricacies not only of the process, but the policy. she will become our speaker and lead us to solve many problems that we talked about, health care, infrastructure as well. gillian: thanks for joining us, we'll have to leave it there. leland. >> t

he was also looking at maybe challenging ed markey for that senate seat in massachusetts. now he maybe primaried himself in his own congressional district. i think you will see a lot of other democrats who opposed nancy pelosi in the past saying i don't know what happened to seth moulton to happen to me. i think she scared off him and other democrats from opposing her. connell: i was talking about it the other way around. you bring up a good point. but some of the connor lambs of the world, people who ran in districts where they basically had to support her, if they choose to fall in line this time, will they pay the price next time in those districts with a republican running against them. are there opportunities, vince, for republicans if that's the case? >> i mean, possibly. it's going to be interesting to see how long nancy pelosi's cutthroat strangle hold on her own party is going to work because i think at some point, the appetite for the party to get even more progressive than nancy pelosi will allow is going to overtake the party. how many weeks can we go before al
