senator markey. senator markey: thank you. mr. wheeler, you earlier said you thought that we were having a climate issue and not a climate crisis. is that correct? mr. wheeler:dy say that, yes. senator markey: let me just begin by saying i think that you are 100% wrong. we're having a climate crisis. how do i know? i know because 13 federal agencies, including your own, in november issued a report. and here's what all 13 federal encies said that our efforts do not yet approach the scale necessary to avoid substantial damages to the economy, environment, and human health. how did president trump respond when asked about the conclusion of the national climate assessment, that your agency helped to produce, that climate change could devastate the american economy. he said, i don't believe it. do you agree with donald trump? mr. wheeler: i believe president trump was referring -- e media reports of the reports itself. i question the reports as well because they focus on the worst case scenario and one stid study that wasn't in the rep

senator markey. senator markey: should companies be able to tell consumers that if they do not agree to share nonessential data they cannot receive a service or product? >> no. they shouldn't be able to tell consumers that. that gets back to the idea of what constitutes choice. even if we have notice and choice, which i think is not enough, we still need restrictions as well. a choice has to be a real choice. this is something the gdpr does well. when a company says except our practices with your data or don't use the service, that's not a free choice. senator markey: should they be allowed to offer financial incentives and in change for financial information? >> i support skepticism towards financial incentives for certain data practices because i do recognize that while there may be a value that consumers enjoy and exchange for their data, as mr. mctaggart just mentioned, oftentimes the incentives companies offer or the financial penalties they levy against consumers who decline to give consent are

senators casey and markey reminded us how we got here, that we had an agreement, that we thought the president had committed to sign. his vice president, his chief of staff, acting chief of staff told us he was going to sign it. it passed the senate on a voice vote. and what's so ironic, as senator markey said, is that what's happening now is actually making us less safe. the idea that we've got all of these people on our southern border, all of these t.s.a. agents, people who are working, 800,000 employees, 400,000 who are furloughed, 380,000 who are working without pay, and that's actually making us less safe. as senator durbin pointed out, a wall across our southern border wouldn't do anything to interdict the fentanyl that's coming across from china. that's the biggest killer of people in new hampshire from overdoses, that's the fentanyl. as senator jones pointed out, the coast guard's role in interdiction is what's significant. it's not a wall that's going to keep out those vehicles that are going to come through our ports of entry. senator stabenow reminded us there are 38 mill

republican congressman markey of tennessee, also a physician.to tell everybody, you ran a medical companies in tennessee for many years and served two decades as a special ops flight surgeon. we appreciate expertise on this. my first question is, what does this do for the middle class? because you have some strong ideas about that. >> sure, absolutely paid all of the attacks on the insurance market with obamacare in this plan do nothing but take away choice from basically the middle class. it was a big cost shift to the small businesses. that's what obamacare did. medicare for all -- our costs, $3,032.6 trillion for this plan. the 70% green plan that is being floated around for text would only raise $700 billion over ten years. $700 billion versus the cost of 32.6 trillion. my comment is, "earth to senator harris, earth to senator harris." that doesn't add up. speed when he would have to raise taxes to do that, right? >> even if we doubled taxes on every individual in america, we can't reach the $32.6 trillion. it's insane. it's just crazy. >> h

went up the coast, through new jersey, and hit massachusetts when it hit rhode island, so senator markey has the same study now. if you look at all the different states that have been reviewed and what was originally a study in florida, and has moved in the same methodology to cover other states, is a total of $15 billion lost in coastal home values. that is a big deal for these families and businesses and it can't be ignored. and they are not alone, if you go on to look at their report, pull up the other one hears what one of the authors of the report said, each time we go into a new state we see the same phenomena. as the level rise accelerates, we expect a car spinning loss in home value to decelerate as well. i can't ignore that, and i can't allow administration agencies to ignore that either. go on to freddie mac, freddie mac is not an environmental organization, not a green organization or a democrat organization, it's a housing organization. and what freddie mac has warned is that rising sea levels and spreading floodplains appear likely to destroy billions of dollars of property,

kaine: prior to senator markey, i wanted to ask this. if i heard correctly, you indicated that half a million new mexicans are currently participating in the snap program? mr. heinrich: that's correct. mr. kaine: what is the total population of new mexico? mr. heinrich: a little over 2 million people. mr. kaine: so nearly one-quarter of the state is participating in the food stamp program that is jeopardized by this shutdown. the senator from new mexico, are you aware that 95% of the employees of the agency that administers snap has been sent home and furloughed? are you aware of that? mr. heinrich: i was aware of that. mr. kaine: and that is causing problems not only for your half a million but for any new family that falls into hunger and needs to apply for snap every day. mr. heinrich: thank you. mr. kaine: thank you. i yield the floor to the senator from massachusetts. markaz e taiba i thank the senator from virginia. i. mr. markey: i thank senator from virginia. i thank him for his leadership on this issue. just talking about snap,

i worked with my colleague from ohio, senator portman, on a bipartisan bill and senator markey from massachusetts fo get customs and border protection. the screening devices they need to test for opioids. why would we focus on the president's vanity project, building this wall, a promise he made -- remember his promise. i will build a wall and the mexicans will pay for it. he's now asking the american taxpayers over time to pay $25 billion or $30 billion. why would we focus on the president's avenatti project instead of -- vanity project instead of getting the agents and technology they need because we can do this with agents and technology and the things we need to protect the border because that's what we want to do. we don't want this vanity project. another fact most undocumented immigrants aren't committing criemtion. 50% to 60% fewer prosecuted criminals than native born texans. a native born texan percentage is more likely to commit a crime than an undocumented person living in texas. keep in mind the facts of what this shutdown is costing the american people. 800,000 federal workers are w
