i testified in kentucky for restoration of voting rights for people convicted of nonviolent felonies. >> last year at howard universityor paul defended requiring showing some forms of i.d. to vote. here he is going in another direction. let's listen. >> i think if you liken using a driver's license to literacy tests, you demean the horror of what happened in the '40s and '50s, maybe from 1910 through 1960s in the south. it was horrific. nobody is in favor of that. no republican is in favor of that. but to ensure an honest election is not unreasonable. >> i don't know which way he's running here. he says he's for it, against it. is he saying do it on the down low to use a local expression? don't be caught? >> listen to the nature of his comments. rand paul is an eye doctor, became a senator overnight, who is weaned in libertarian theory. he's saying listen, this is not a way of big inconvenience to show an i.d. but we're talking real world politics here and the mentioning just voter i.d., what it stirs up. he recognizes that, and on principle he says i favor it. but ooze a practical politician it's better that i don't

kentucky. the name is now universally accepted as meaning american whiskey. in over 90% of all bourbon is distilled in my home state, the commonwealth of kentucky. today kentucky's bourbon industry is enjoying an explosive growth, due to demand both here and abroad. i think this renaissance is the result not only of bourbon's timeless production process and depth of flavor, but is also thanks to its status as a uniquely american spirit. this week we celebrate the 50th anniversary of congress putting that concept into law and we thank all of the hardworking men and women in my home state who make this uniquely american spirit such a great product. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the hat purpose does gentleman from new jersey seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i ask the republican leadership to bring up the bill that would extend critical unemployment insurance. mr. pallone: so far speaker boehner is telling struggling americans that they're out of lu

universitys to grow industrial hemp for research, the d.e.a. decided to ignore the plain text of a federal statute. officials in my home state of kentucky were recently forced to file a lawsuit in federal court to compel the d.e.a. to release industrial hemp seeds intended for university research pilate -- pilot program. what a waste of time, money and the court's limited resources. states cannot launch industrial hemp pilot programs if the d.e.a. seizes the seeds before they reach their destination. though the d.e.a. did recently agree to release the seeds, my amendment ensures that this type of d.e.a. action won't happen again. if this were simply about seeds, i wouldn't be here. we've got that resolved. but there are further issues. there are more issues. for instance, the d.e.a. has been very ambiguous on whether they are going to assert authority to say that hemp can't be grown on private property. listen, where else are you going to grow it? it's not like the government has forms -- farms. and the farm bill is clear in this language. the farm bill says that the state authority shall register these sites, not the d.e.a. yet the d.e

home state of kentucky were recently forced to file a lawsuit in federal court to compel the diarra to release industrial -- d.e.a. to release industrial hemp seeds intendeder to university research pilot program. what a waste -- intended for university research pilot program. what a waste of money and resources. states can't launch industrial hemp pilot programs if the d.e.a. seizes the seeds before they reach their destination. and although the d.e.a. did recently agree to release the seeds, they still insist that they have the authority to regulate industrial hemp. which was clearly conveyed to the states in the farm bill. isn't it ironic that thousands of pounds of owe cocaine and heroin are somehow -- of cocaine and heroin are somehow passing past our borders every week yet the d.e.a. thinks that seizing industrial hemp seeds is a worthwhile use of its time and resources? i say it's not. i urge my colleagues to vote for this amendment. thank you and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time nd time has expired. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. wolf: continue to reserve. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman fro

kentucky senator mitch mcconnell. he is also aggressively wooing nontraditional constitch wednesdayys for the gop, courting african-americans and young people. remember, last year's trip to howard universitys visit to berkeley and that trip to detroit. on friday rand paul continued that theme meeting with african-american pastors in memphis. there's great upward potential for us. have you to keep trying. you can't give up. >> just before that meeting rand gave the "new york times" a headline grabber when he told a reporter everybody has gone completely crazy on this voter id thing, adding, i think it's wrong for republicans to go too crazy on this issue because it's offending people. paul's strategy is resonating with the republican establishment, and that means it's going to be that much harder for the not rand paul candidates to catch up. the latest p not rand paul contender is senator mark row rubio. >> it seems obvious. i've openly said in the past that it's something i'll consider. do you think you're ready to be president. >> i do. i think that's true from multiple people that would want to run. >> can marco rubio not make it as the rand paul -- christina, i'm going start with you t

university says four times as many democrats than republican notice media the pro-size stats are these. republican journalists 7%. democrats 28%. independents 50%. and joining us now from louisville, kentuckyrd goldberg.com mr. goldberg. i think people who hire journalists hire liberal like themselves. that's why the cycle per pet waits, what say you? >> i say the poll is ridiculous. let's start with that the 7% who identify themselves as republicans. i will buy that. but only 28% of journalists say they are democrats and 50% say they are independents? impossible. a few years ago, i predicted that precisely this would happen because they know the american people think they are liberal, which they are. they know the american people think they root for democrats, and they do. so they say, when the pollsters come around, they say no, no, we are independent. bias, democrat? no a conservative delusion. and i will bet you if you injected these people with truth serum about 85% would admit they voted for barack obama twice. >> i think that's the poll that somebody did. i don't know how accurate you could be with that, but it was overwhelming vote for barack obama. but i think that the reason behi

kentucky. it's also become a proxy war between senate republican leader mitch mcconnell and the senate conservatives fund which has backed mcconnell's primary opponent, matt bevin. five republicans are competing to fill the seat. midland university president ben sass, shane osborn have been locked in a bitter fight for months and that's allowed a third candidate, sid dinsdale to potentially rise up hoping the disgust over the negative ads will help a surge in the final days. osborn, the only candidate to hold statewide office, was an early favorites but sass won the support of the club for goerowt. senators cruz, lee, former alaska governor sarah palin have all campaigned for sass in the last month. >> he's running for the right reasons and i think he's going to be there joining ted cruz and mike lee and the good guys who know why they have been sent to the united states senate. >> but sasse also has some establishment support. he's picked up the endorsements of paul ryan, tom coburn, but he had a public split with senator mcconnell, reportedly getting under mcconnell's skin that questioned the leadership during the health care fight in the fall. >> it is time for every republican in washington, starting with minority leader mit
