the next amendment is offered by the gentleman from tennessee, mr. cohen. has amendment at the desk. >> thank you, mr. chair. >> number 112. the clerk are report the title of the amendment. >> amendment to the conference report on s-524 offered by mr. cohen. >> the amendment will be considered as read. staff will distribute the amendment. the gentleman is recognized for five minutes in support of his amendment. >> mr. chairman, in my opening statement i talked about the messaging problem this congress and our governments in general have had with heroin and marijuana and other drugs. a young man who i dated his mother. we had a conversation one time at dinner about marijuana. and he smoked marijuana. he shouldn't have. he was young. but he did. and he said nobody my age believes marijuana's bad in any way for you because we smoked it and we've seen it does not have the same effects as people say it does. that young man died from a heroin overdose. he was from a very prominent family in memphis. east memphis. fortune 500 world. i talked to a family in new york

mr. cohen, i remember during the civil rights days and your organization was standing firm for equality and rsds sued the clan and went after them aggressively and condemned their radical ideas. i don't think there is anything wrong with that, mr. jasser. aren't you saying it's all right if someone advocates a position that's extreme or violent or incompatible with the republican doctrines of america, the constitutional order, that they should be challenged on those beliefs? isn't that the honest way we debate issues in this country? >> i believe there is nothing that would melt away muslim bigotry more than for americans to see muslims step to the plate and counter theocracy. once they see we are the most essential head of the spear in this battle and see the 15 principles we signed where we condemn violent jihad, condemn the caliphate, we sent this to every mosque in america and have gotten crickets back because the media and government are complies italy giving muslims a pass whether they si

chair would recognize the gentleman from tennessee, mr. cohen, to offer amendment number 109 and the clerk will report the title of the amendment. >> mr. chairman, as in the last amendment, i think this may go beyond our call on rescheduling marijuana and i don't want to put people to that issue nor do i want them to vote no on process rather than substance and i hope in the future we will get this straight and we will at least have study on mare wan in which we should and i would ask unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment at this time. >> the request is granted, the amendment is withdrawn. the chair would know recognize ms. murray for an amendment and the clerk will report the title of the amendment on the murray 2 cybill the amendment on v.a. bonuses. >> amendment to the conversation report for s-524 offered by ms. murray. >> the amendment will be considered as read. the staff will distribute the amendment and the gentlelady is recognized for five minutes in support of her amendment. >> thank you, mr. chairman, i'll be short. this is a si

mr. cohen. >> senator cruz, it's good to see you again. our country faces threats of violent extremism from many sources. the horrible massacre at the orlando gay nightclub earlier this month by a gunman pledging allegiance to isis is but the latest example. year ago this month, it was the massacre of black churchgoers at charleston's mother emanuel church by a white supremacist. two years ago this month the murder of las vegas police officers by anti-government zealots who had been at cliven bundy's ranch. i would not take issue with the obama administration's assessment that terrorism from those affiliated with or inspired by groups like isis represent preeminent threat to our country. but i would point out that the threat of violent extremism from those blinded by racial hatred and rage at the government are serious ones as well. and while i would not go so far as to say that our government has been willfully blind to these latter threats, i would say that the record shows that both republican and democratic administrations as well as t

apparently they're introduced and according to cohen's daughter, lincoln manages somehow to sweep mr. cohen his feet and evidently according to here -- her, they discuss the hebrew bible. and some of up know lincoln used to always say that he was not highly educated and the few things he knew he only knew limited things but that which he knew he had read again and again and again and of course the hebrew bible was one such thing. apparently he persuaded this past ptd of the congregation that he had an appreciation for the heebue bible. so according to the daughter, the democrat becomes a supporter of abraham lincoln and when lincoln wins the election and it about to head off to washington, people are sending to springfield presents for the president, wishing him well and mr. cohen draws on silk this colorized version of what i'm about to show you. it's a flag, and on the bars and stripes he writes the hebrew verses from the first chapter of the book of joshua, "be strong and courageous, be not afraid, be not dismayed for the lord your god is with you wherever you go." who knows, maybe this

. >> let me just -- if i could mr. cohen -- >> do you want me to explain what i meant by it? >> very concisely, if you would. >> sure. they carved out an exception for the advocacy of ideology that calls for the violent overthrow of the united states as if there were a firm difference between advocating it and inciting it, which i think has been much more difficult to apply than perhaps they thought. >> mr. cohen, you've dedicated most of your life to the pursuit of finding or closing down those who engage in not just dangerous ideology but dangerous actions against other americans. and senator sessions had some interesting comments on the central role of the southern poverty law center and pushing back against the klan. and you made a point, i would suggest the lord's resistance army, just because they miscite the bible, we wouldn't refer to them as radical christians and we're making the same mistake here. help me understand in your view whether we should be engaging in widespread surveillance of the muslim community and whether we should be endulging the proposals of some

mr. cohen: thank you, mr. speaker. late governor of tennessee used to say if you don't want to work, you shouldn't hire out. speaker ryan, you don't want to work, your team doesn't want to work, you shouldn't have run to office. we are taking off nearly eight weeks of vacation when we should be here dealing with gun violence. we should be dealing with voting rights extension, which we haven't done with elections coming up, we should be dealing with the zika virus that threatens the health of our people, the flint water crisis and we are leaving for eight weeks of vacation. this congress started eight years ago with a terrible political priorities. rather than it was policy but politics. mitch mcconnell said it was their job to get nothing good. what did we have hearings on, the attorney general on clinton's emails. if you don't want to work, don't hire out. you shouldn't have come here without being willing to work. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from new

mr. cohen: john lewis is a man in this house who is of the same caliber as was nelson mandela and martin luther king, the same caliber as elie weisel. when john lewis and other democrats protest thond floor, they were here because they might not have been able to prevent injustice but they needed to protest it. mr. speaker, you said john lewis and the democrats' activities on the floor was a stunt. it wasn't a stunt. it was in keeping with the great tradition of people like elie weisel who know that sometimes when the government is out of line there needs to be extraordinary steps to bring attention to issues and make a change. the bill you are bringing to the floor is a stunt. john lewis does not engage in stunts. i yield back the balance of any time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady rom illinois seek recognition? without objection the gentlelady from illinois is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, it's sad that it took a 26-hour sit-in of 177 members just t
