so mr. cohen, on my constituents are time warner customers going to face higher prices for services post merger? >> mr. holding, there's nothing about this transaction that is going to lead to increased prices for consumers. i think there's significant consumer benefits that your constituents will see as result of this transaction, faster internet speeds, more video on demand choices, more free deal -- more free video on demand choices, the ability to watch more content on a streaming basis. inside and outside the home, access to our excellent video platform which is truly a groundbreaking new way of watching television, but there's nothing in this transaction will result in an increase in prices for any time warner cable consumer. >> you said in the past that we are certainly not promising that customer bills are going to go down or even increase less rapidly. you would still stand by those comments? >> i said that i can't do what i said was, and i've a nasty little habit which i hope no one want

mr. cohen: i rise, mr. speaker, to greet my fellow tennessean and report i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. -- clerk: mr. cohen: amendment to h.r. 4660. the chair: the gentleman has two amendments. mr. cohen: i do have two amendments. the chair: which one is the gentleman offering at this time? mr. cohen: .072. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: amendment offered by mr. cohen of tennessee. page 32, line 15, after the first dollar amount insert, reduce by $5 million. page 44, line 6, after the dollar amount insert, increase by $5 million. page 47, line 21, after the dollar amount insert, increase by $5 million. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes in support of his amendment. mr. cohen: thank you, sir. first i'd like to express my appreciation for the career of chairman wolf, in particular his co-chairmanship of the tom lantos human rights commission. he's done tremendous work on human rights issues that have of great im

mr. cohen: i move to strike the last word. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia rise? mr. wolf: strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. wolf: i support the gentleman's amendment. just reading the dangers and consequences of marijuana abuse. what is happening to our country? saw a report today showing in "the hill" newspaper buyers remorse on marijuana. the growers in mexico are not growing mare kwana now. they are going into the poppy because they are now doing it in colorado. i cast the deciding vote against smoking on airplanes and now we're encouraging or allowing people -- it's just -- i think the gentleman is right. i have been disappointed in the justice department because, you know, we should follow the law. the law is the law. and i think the gentleman's right. you're seeing the skirting of the law. there's much more, we're going to have a big debate tomorrow, i guess, on this whole issue, a little bit different than this. but i think the

let me begin with mr. cohen. you testified the merger will result in substantial benefits to consumers, correct? >> correct. >> you indicated that comcast -- you indicated that greater customer choice is a likely benefit of the merger. >> better customer choice in terms of on-demand tv everywhere. that is correct. >> you also indicated that innovation will result from the merger. that could translate into enhanced video, voice, and/or internet opportunities for the consumer. >> scale leads to investment. investment in r&d and infrastructure. better, more secure networks. more reliable networks. innovation of the future. just like our larger global and national competitors are investing. developing products for three years from now and five years from now we cannot imagine now. >> i think that is a sound premise. however, as many of my colleagues have observed, there has been no commitment even today by either you -- as a relates to the impact of the proposed merger on consumers. that is the -- the people i repres

mr. cohen: i yield my time to the lady from wyoming. the speaker pro tempore: does the gentlelady seek further time? mrs. lummis: in great appreciation and deference to the gentleman on the judiciary committee and especially to my co-sponsor, mr. cohen, i gratefully acknowledge his co-sponsor hipp, he supported this bill, the hard work of the house judiciary committee and yield back the balance of my time. mr. co-pen: -- mr. cohen: go on, don't stop. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. cohen: i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio is recognized. >> i would like to yield three minutes to the gentleman from montana, mr. daines. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. daines: i want to thank the gentlelady from wyoming, cynthia lummis and the gentleman from tennessee, mr. cohen, for this bipartisan support of this most important bill. i rise in strong support of h.r. 2919, the open book on equal access to justice act which increases tran

marcus or mr. cohen. >> i was starting to feel neglected. >> there have been allegations that comcast may exclude and interconnect. some commentators assert that they will control approximately 82% of the top 50 urban advertising areas in the country. can you provide assurances that comcast will not exclude competitors are advertising firms from the interconnect that comcast operates? i think mr. issa expressed concerns about that. >> let me answer the question. >> that's probably better. >> i would be happy to give you the assurance. gives me an opportunity to correct the record on some of the things that have been said with respect to advertising. i do not think it is relevant that the percentage of the controller interconnects with a national advertising cooperative. you have to start with the intensely competitive nature of the advertising market. that market is a $72 billion market of which cable in the aggregate has about $5 billion. we are about 7% of the advertising market. even assuming that we

welcome, mr. cohen. >> thank you very much mr.introduce all of the witnesses and i should have told the panel that. our second witness is mr. robert marcus comiskey of time warner cable. mr. marcus as i said as the is e chairman and ceo and he served in a capacity since january 1 of this year. mr. marcus first joined time warner in 2005, and since that time he served in various capacities including president, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and senior executive vice president. prior to joining time warner cable, he held hearings and positions at time warner inc. including senior vice president of mergers and acquisitions. before joining time warner, mr. marcus practiced law. mr. marcus received his ba magna cum laude from brown university and his j.d. from columbia law school where he was harlem fifth stone scholar and editor of the columbia law review. welcome to hugh mr. marcus. our next witness mr. matthew polka as president ceo of the american cable association and 850 member nonprofit association whose member

what mr. cohen just said? >> we're working it really hard, ed. i mate with him a few times and metd with the president with a group of democrats concerned about this and we're pushing back really, really hard. our leadership has stuck with us so far and harry reid took a strong stance in the senate. i'm worried about what would happen in a potential lame-duck session where clinton gets and a half to in the wto's so we got to watch out for that coming but we need to amp it up and we're building coalitions across the aisle. there's truly conservative republicans who are concerned about job loss in america and who are concerned about loss of sovereignty in these issues and concerned about giving their power to the president and a fast track deal as legislaturers. we think we might be able to pull some votes from the republican side along with a long majority of d.e.m.s. we almost beat nafta. we only they'd like four dozen republicans and we can kill these turkeys. >> all right. congressman peter defazio, and larry cohen, great to have you with us to

mr. cohen: thank you, mr. speaker. this past week, the city of memphis lost one of its greatest sons and leaders, reverend frank mccrate. memphian ccrate was a who took on ministry in the city of memphis. before dr. king was assassinated in 1968, he marched with the sanitation workers and dr. king. after dr. king was assassinated, he led a group of ministers to city hall to urge the mayor to settle the strike. he knew that the church needed to do good deeds and help people in the changing south and changing america and he helped find friends with life, that dealt with people with aids and h.i.v. he helped found the memphis interfaith association that provided food and clothing to people in need. and he turned his church to a place where they had soup kitchens and pantries rather than a church of the most blessed, most privileged. he was a great man who made memphis the city of good abode. he will be missed. he leaves his wife, two children, three stepchildren. i'm fortunate to have known frank and memphis is fortunate

. >> mr. cohen, what is he talking about? been involved in this are the corporations or the consultants representing the corporations. labor hasn't been involved in the tpp. the american people haven't been involved in the tpp. and congressional opinion has not been rendered on the tpp with any kind of testimony. what's he talking about. >> i think now that they're in sort of the last mile of their marath marathon, they're trying to provide more access even though the product is what really need our focus no uh is not changing at all. the future profits of multinationals will ahead of everything else. and we need to reverse that and we need to make it clear, particularly democrats in the caucuses that they won't accept that. and they're not giving them fast track authority until they support the underlying tpp. so i think we have a reversal here that's good for american working families. >> we got a reversal. do you think that congress was curious enough and demanding enough about this today at that hearing? >> i think sherro

. >> you know, mr. cohen, it really is at that point where we have to call it like it is.hose lawmakers up there who were saying that this is going to create jobs, they're lying. i say they're lying. they have no factual evidence whatsoever to bring in front of the american people and say, look at this number. they don't have it. are they lying? >> they are, because the key is net jobs. so they can always point to export jobs that may increase. but the question is net jobs. just like the question is, trade deficits. there were $8 trillion in 20 years when no other nation had any sizable deficit whatsoever, net jobs. and what does it do to our pay? we have a call center worker today describe what it's like in her call center in texas when management tells us we can't raise the pay, the jobs will be moved back to the philippines. that's the reality of this. the jobs go. the pay goes down. and the deficits go up. the cities of america, whether it's low rain or cleveland get destroyed. >> larry cohen, president of communications workers of america, good to have you with us ton

just getting to what mr. cohenthis is a big number but there is a giant unknown in all of this. that is why the credit suisse case is so important, nobody knows with a final bill will be for any of these banks, how many indictments or guilty pleas will be handed out and nobody knows if there is systemic risk. and that is the take on this, if there is systemic risk for having the guilty pleas by major banks, or is this just the bank trying to game the system? forans nichols, thank you joining us and congratulations on your important interview, we will see that on our platforms throughout the day. >> time for the twitter question of the day, what is the tipping point for ousting a ceo? do you want to weigh in on this? indictments, one, and a third might be a dilutive capital raise which we are seeing in deutsche bank and it is not easy to make ceos disappear. blankfein is lloyd still around and jamie dimon is still around. >> ron johnson disappeared. -- you look at retailers and deal with investors in retail, and the

mr. cohen? >> i want to thank you for having the hearings. i think the previous hearings from the dea and the drug zars and the deputy director that came here spoke for themselves and they speak for the need for the president to replace those people and have people that reflect the values of the america in 2014 and the values the president espoused and the value of the people where people have voted and expressed themselves. 21 states have medical marijuana and two have legal marijuana. the states are the labs of democracy. while washington, d.c. isn't a state. it is a separate jurisdiction. and no better lab than right here while the members of the house are representatives so they can see, and be around and experience in their homes and home, how this law affects the popl poplar. 8-1 in arrest for african-americans and affects the washington, d.c. budget and takes away from other priorities of people spending on human issues. i am sure delegate norton will bring up these issues. but i am a strong supporter of the washington, d.c. having to

. >> mr. cohen, you have been litigation with the voter id law. i have three questions in regards to that. can you describe who you were representing in these cases and how you became to be involved in them? >> when i went into private it was a variety of high-profile litigation. there was the affirmative-action program and that passed by a predominantly democratic georgia assembly. involved in the enactment of those policies or legislation. i was hired just like any other lawyer is fired and that is to represent the client and advocate their position in court . >> >> if you were confirmed, how would your experience with voter id laws influenced your decision-making process as a judge if the voter id case were to come before you? >> it wouldn't influence my decision-making at all. i would be bound by the decisions of the united states supreme court which in this case is the crawford versus marion county case and the 11th circuit court of appeals in resolving that issue. >> some have claimed that voter id laws generally, these would be like laws yo

also, madam chairman, i rise today in support of my bipartisan amendment with mr. cohen of tennessee to prohibit new funds for the afghanistan infrastructure fund and ensure american tax dollars are invested wisely. we have already spent billions of dollars toward rebuilding the infrastructure of afghanistan and congress has appropriated over $1.2 billion alone to the afghanistan infrastructure fund since it was created in 2011. in their most recent report, it was reported that only $229 million of the $1.2 billion congress has appropriated has actually been disbursed for projects. more importantly, it's been repeat lid found that the probablies which are under way are behind schedule and years away from completion. without any assurance that these projects are needed or can be completed, let's focus these funds on growing our economy, investing in american infrastructure and paying off our debt. i want to thank chairman mckeon for accepting this amendment in the en bloc and would encourage my colleagues to vote in support of it. and i yield back. the chair: the gentlema

and madeleine cohen, attorney for the second man who was scheduled to die. mr. sanderford and ms. i think our viewers would be interested to learn why your respective clients were on death row. am i correct that your client was convicted of binding an 18-year-old with duct tape, making her watch and dig her own grave? then shot her and buried her alive? is that a fair accounting? >> that is fair. she was 19. >> 19 years old. and ms. cohen, your client, charles warner was convicted of the rape and murder of his girlfriend's 11 month-old daughter? >> yes, that is accurate? >> mr. sanderford, what did you witness? >> when they pulled the curtain up, mr. locket was already stretched out on the gurney, the iv line was attached. he was covered with a sheet so we couldn't see them. when the execution began, it went probably how it was intended to. they started with the first drug. his eyes started to close. he got very sleepy looking. and about nine minutes in, a physician announced that he was unconscious. the warden then announced he was unconscious. and i believe at that point is when
