then you have goat ed markey trying to sabotage us. is this silencing and sabotaging when you want to take a vote on it? >> orwellian, isn't it? usually you say someone is sabotaging when you can't get a vote. it's very smart of senator mcconnell to get the democrats on the record for something as draconian and disruptive as this. liz: critics are saying this is rabble rousing on the part of the democrats. and the thing is, they know it would never fly in a general election. the rust belt will see job losses. the fuel industry, the energy trijob losses. the swing district, blue collar unions all fear job losses. the construction workers, what do you think? >> the uaw, united auto workers on that list as well. there are a lot of people worried about global warming and there are a few people who push the extremes of it saying the earth is going to end in 12 years. so they put forward draconian measures like this. here is my question to congresswoman cortez. if this were done and we played make believe and replaced them with trains and go

(catherine) new york representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and massachusetts senator ed markey sayhey will soon unveil their "green new deal" legislation. the plan would lay out steps to tackle climate change, including emission reductions, green infrastructure, and green job creation.

you can see a little bit what senator markey is getting there. wide swings, estimates and variables in your criticism that was part of the same criticism of their plan. >> there are big changes. i wouldn't say anything other than that. there is a lack of detail in the plan. so we took the best information we had and we didn't want to pretend it was the biggest number and we also gave the lowest. if you look at guaranteed jobs you can say let's just find the people who are unemployed, put them in a job as described in the green new deal and that's what it costs or you could imagine gee, if we do that the people who aren't working might go back into the labor force and it would cost more. if you really look there are some people working right now, they aren't in jobs that make as much as the green new deal envisions, no paid vacations or retirement benefits. >> neil: kamala harris was for all of this and said this is not about a cost but rather an investment. what do you say? >> investments costs money. they have benefits out there in the future. t

saying he will call for a vote on the resolution of the green new deal introduced by democrats ed markey and congress woman alexandria ocasio-cortez. gotten a lot of press on this. listen to what president trump said about the deal. >> they want to take away your car, reduce the value of your home and put millions out of work, spend $100 trillion, which by the way there's no such thing. >> dana: look at this tweet from the congress woman saying do you think these irregular and horrific wild fires and drought are a coincidence? growing regularity of 100 years floods is an accident? we're losing our homes and loved ones now. 3,000 americans died in maria and the gop doesn't cry. so now we're talking about the differences in policy. >> well, yes, i suppose that is true. there's discussions of policy differences. these are fanciful policy descriptions in which one side is describing what the other side believes. what is engenius about what mcconnell is doing, these are your words, this is your resolution. this is not the hyperbole of the president. this is what you said. the reaction from ed

ed markey has been around a long time. people need to know, this is not some guy, a freshman.it's where they obviously have been going a long time. >> neil: this wouldn't have gotten the attention without senator markey. he's galvanized it. >> it's a utopia. we get it. it's a utopian dream. fdr said he was going to take everything, the freedom of want is one i never could understand, how government could get rid of freedom of want and would want to get rid of freedom of want. want is why we get up and do things. it's why we get up and innovate. it's why we invent things and help other people. so the idea that government would want to get rid of want and provide this utopian society. >> neil: they get creative raising money. in new jersey, they want taxes. how toes that work? >> they say salt, fertilizer. when it rains, it goes into the water system. they don't have anything to capture here. they have the ninth highest gas tax in the country. the sixth highest income tax in the country. the number 1 property tax in the country and they're racked 50th worst state for business ta

joining me is ed markey of massachusetts. sir, let's get into the policy of it.he green new deal as i understand it, the bullet points i got in front of me. 100% clean renewable energy by 2030 and net zero global gas emissions by 2050. overhaul transportation systems to reduce emission and create millions of jobs with families sustaining wage. how do you do that and how much does it cost? >> well, and create millions of jobs in the green economy. that's what is going to happen. we've created 350,000 wind and solar jobs, just in the last ten years there are only 50,000 coal miners. we're just beginning. this is going to be a mission to save all of creation by engaging in massive job creation. >> but how -- >> the reason we have to do it is that the united nations scientists last year said that it's much worse than anyone ever thought and then, all of the key scientists inside of the trump administration federal agencies all said the same thing. so the only person who forgot to mention climate change was donald trump in his 1:20 state of the union address on tuesda

the junior senator from massachusetts ed markey voted no.arner d elizabe elizabeth warren did not run? senator markey's staff told us he voted against the bill because u.s. immigration and custom enforcement have been over spending its budget and expanding its detention capacities by manipulating the program. we did not hear from senator booker or gillibrand or klobachar on why they voted the way they did. with so many senators running for president now. every major senate vote is going to be an important campaign moment because now, now before these senators vote, they're going to have to know how they'll defend that vote on the presidential debate stage which is now only four months away. that's tonight's last word. t "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. tonight the after math of comey's firing. the discussion of removing trump from office from stunning details from what it is like on the inside? robert mueller has a new supervisor freshly sworn in, william barr. why is the top conservatives warning tonight that mueller will be

it's two co-spsors, senator ed markey of massachusetts and congresswoman alexandria ocasio- cortez of new yorkintroduced their plan today to address what they say is the growing danger of climate chang >> in order for us to combat that threat, we must be as ambitious and innovative in our solution as possible, so what we're doing today in introducing these resolutions here today is that it's not a bill, its a resolution. and what this resolution is doing is saying thour first step our first step is to define the problem and define the scope of the solution and so we're here to say that small incremental policy solutions are not enough. >> brangham: and senator markey joins me now. welcome to the "newshour". >> glad to be here. >> reporter: there are parts of this that deal with housing, unio, jobs a wages and all that but i really want to talk to you about the climate change impact of this. make the case why we need this deal. >> the case iscntific. both the united natios scientific community and every single u.s. federal agency in the trump era have now saidhat it's much worse than w

but the plans own sponsor, ed markey, doesn't want to vote on this. >> we didn't pay for the trump taxuts and spending bill. we are $22 trillion in debt. we have almost a $2 trillion deficit. this green new deal is supposed to be a framework for discussion. we start with this as the grand idea. so let's have a vote on this and see who wants to be part of the economy of the future, pushing americans forward and make sure we distribute our wealth among all americans. the same things that are laughable to people now, that's going to be the future. we won't be burning coal. either we modernize or fall behind. susan: it will be $40 trillion over 10 years. that's more than the entire u.s. budget. medicare, social security, defense. where is the money going to come from. >> we'll pay for it the same way we paid for the trump tax cuts. susan: that's not an answer. >> tax cuts are returning the money of people who had the money in the first place. when we pay our taxes and get tax money back, that's our money coming back to us. it's not money being spent on green fantasies. i remember all these

here is what markey said. add markey is the cosponsor of all of this. he was on tonight at msnbc. >> how much spending are we talking about? give me a ballpark figure? >> we don't have any specific prescriptions, but most of the role we'll be played by the private sector. it's the greatest single blue-collar t job creation let revolution in two generations. it sounds great.ge i'm for blue-collar jobs. get them to win. it's the resolution. everybody should know it's a resolution with no policy prescriptions really.ti >> resolution means nothing because people can do all these things now if they want to. solar energy generates 1.3 percent of our energy. we would dismantle contemporary society to get this done. it would cost 25 bazillion dollars to go into every single house and change the water cooling system, the heating, give up your car, retrofit everything. it's just something that someon and highgh school would write. it can't be legislation, it's not serious. i'm not sure what presidential candidates feel the need to support this. >> that is the cle

ahead of this second summit for the president, it is interesting, i would assume senator like ed markey would be talking about making sure that human rights violations and labor camps are the very first thing that president addresses, but instead, markey and company are worried about concessions. what are they chirping about? >> they are worried that president will gave something to north koreans without concrete in exchange. kennedy: oh, like the iran deal. >> like basically every single foreign policy that barack obama made. and by the way, president trump is correct to point out that a lots of folks who are chirping at him from television screens are those who were in charge of negotiations for president obama's team and bush's team, i understand there is a lot the stake, people should be worried, trump is the kind of guy who can make a gut-decision deal, but they don't have too much to stand on. the foreign policy experts. the north korea foreign policy expert racket is the biggest racket you could have in an expert commentary, it so difficult to prove you wrong, and you keep gettin
