mrs. bachmann: thank you so much, mr. speaker. i appreciate that update. as we look at the threat that the united states is looking at from the islamic state, the fact that they have declared war against the united states, the fact that they have already killed intentionally, in a cruel and barbaric manner, american citizens, the fact that they are recruiting american citizens to come and join them in their evil deed, the fact that american citizens have left the islamic state and, as terrorist, under the crede of the islamic state, their crede says that those who join the islamic state abandon any allegiance to any other government, including the american government. they then become part of the islamic state and their duty and allegiance is to the islamic state. once they leave the islamic state and return to the united states, then they have the ability to come in and be terrorists in the united states. this is nonsensical to me. and you see, mr. speaker, earlier this summer i asked the f.b.i. for classified briefing. i did so because my home state of m

mrs. bachmann: i would like to give words of praise to the gentlewoman from north carolina, mrs. foxx, she is a stalwart on every topic on every subject that there is in this chamber. one of the few women that you will regularly see here almost on a daily basis take the debates to the american people so they can understand that our society can be in conformity with what the creators of this society wanted, a place that was first of all that was peaceful and welcoming and a nation that would allow everyone who comes here to realize their dreams in a way that would even stretch their own imagination. she has been a stalwart. and i'm grateful she was able to come and speak here this evening. i would like to speak on this important topic because these are extraordinary times and extraordinary days that we live in. as we all know from the news reports, the president of the united states tomorrow night will be addressing the nation on the top of islamic jihad, particularly the islamic state, as they call themselves today as isis or isil. the president will be talking about this threat

mrs. bachmann: mr. speaker, i do now make the motion to adjourn. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion to adjourn. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is adopted. accordingly, the house stands adjourned until 9:00 >> tomorrow marks the sixth year since chairman ben bernanke met with bipartisan leadership of the house and senate following a report by secretary of the treasury paulsen who described a meltdown coming in our financial services industry. when i asked the chairman if he agreed, what did he think of what secretary paulsen had to say, the chairman said, if we don't act immediately, we could not have an economy by monday. here we are, six years later, the american people still frightened by what that crash did to them and their personal lives. it was only seven weeks before the election. actually, fewer days than seven weeks before the presidential election. i won't go into detail about that conversation, except to say that that outcome was an outcome of the bush economic policy. when the

mrs. bachmann: that's why we're looking forward to what the president of the united states has to say tomorrow. we have to defeat this enemy, e islamic state. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2013, the gentleman from california, mr. garamendi is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. mr. garamendi: thank you, mr. speaker. i think we just heard a one-hour edition of fox news -- audition for fox news but we did not hear , we did not hear a solution to what is a very real problem. we didn't hear a call for a vote. which we're going to have to take if we are to carry out our constitutional obligations. and that's going to be before us. i don't want to carry on the discussion about the very serious problem of isil, or isis, we've heard a lot about already. and we'll have to come to grips with that by october 6 or 7 when the 60-day clock on the war powers act runs out and our constitutional obligation takes place. there are many, many problems facing this nation and certainly the international scene is one of them. b

. >> bachmann declares war on islam. >> yes, mr. president, it is about islam. >> no religion condones the killing of innocence. >> you declare war. you don't dance around it. >> joining me tonight from "the daily beast". i find this more than interesting. dean, michele bachmann, we know what she'll say and how she will say it. but that is beyond the pale and on and on. but she can say things because she's leaving congress. is there a connection? is she the lead in all of this in the way they really think? >> i think she would say that if she wasn't leaving congress. in 2012, she said the muslim brotherhood had penetrated the halls s of justice in america. so i don't think it's about that. her audience is a conservative base. >> i thought does she want keith ellison to leave the congress? this is -- it's so outrageous that it's not -- we're an inclusive country. freedom of religion. we're not that anymore? >> i hope we are. what makes it reckless, isis will use that. what she's saying is the exactly the way isis wants us to be framed
