"Tell the next president of the United States that she—," started Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of the Berkeley, Calif., progressive Jewish magazine Tikkun, before being drowned out by applause.

"Tell the next president of the United States that she should seek a constitutional amendment to make all national and state elections funded by Congress and the state legislatures, and all other sources of money be banned, including money from corporations, from individuals, all other money. Make it all public funding," Lerner continued.

At the boxing legend's funeral, Lerner also targeted Clinton's hawkish foreign policy views. "Tell her that the way to achieve homeland security is not for us to try new ways of domination," Lerner said. "The strategy of domination of the world, of the other, to get security has been tried for the past 10,000 years and it doesn't work." "The way to get security is for the United States to become known as the most generous and caring country in the world, not the most powerful," he said. The emcee of the funeral services remarked after the rabbi's speech he'd need to edit his later remarks to note the "honorable first man William J. Clinton." Bill Clinton was slated to deliver a eulogy for Ali later in the afternoon.

Lerner was among a series of speakers remembering Ali, who died last week, including multiple religious leaders. He used other portions of his speech to call on audience members to "stand in solidarity with the Islamic community in this country and around the world."

"We will not tolerate politicians or anyone else putting down Muslims and blaming Muslims for a few people," he said.

"We know what it's like to be demeaned," he continued, calling on parts of the Israeli government to stop "oppressing Palestinians."

He also called for criminal justice reform, saying it was wrong for black Americans to be jailed for possessing marijuana, something "that white people get away with all the time."
