doug collins another of your colleagues from georgia, saying he didn't think it was appropriate, and wanted to be careful. i am stunned when folks who are talented, death penalt capable,s and goudie and others say, they believe that priority should be caution rather than the public a right to know, i think there is a measure of delusion about how serious this crisis of credibility is on the institution of the house of representatives, and agents of the -- agency of fbi and department of justice. >> reason why this is in house rules you can make classified information public, is precisely for instances like this, you need a count bill tie, you -- accountability, i had allegations of misconduct by government officials, not just run of the mill, government's domestic surveillance, that is the power at its zenith. that is something that public has a right to know, and that will help congress institute whatever changes that need to be done as a result of that, nunes and the intelligence committee are following the procedure that is within the reals, ans -- witn the rules and the rules are

i want to thank representative doug collins and representative hakim jeffries who are sponsors of the bill in the house of representatives. they are leading the effort to get the bill through the house judiciary committee so it can be considered by the full house. finally, i would like to thank barb herderson, david israelite, beth matthews, michael neil, greg barnes and chris harrison with the digital media association. these individuals have all worked together and negotiated for months to try to produce a consensus legislation to help songwriters modernize the music licensing laws. so, mr. president, let me end where i began. this is a bill to help songwriters. this is a bill to modernize a copyright system. this is a bill to help our laws keep up with the digital age, the internet world. this is the bill that has consensus among digital companies and songwriters and publishers for the first time. and this is a bill to honor orrin hatch who has served in this body since 1977, who is a songwriter himself, who has been our leader on modernizing copyght lawfrom the very beginning, and

joining us now georgia congressman doug collins vice chair of the house republican conference and serves on the judiciary committee. ari fleischer in the sound bite was talking about collusion and there have been a lot of headlines about collusion. the question is there any evidence? >> well, what we've seen is not at this point. what he says is very true. let the investigation go. if somebody did something wrong we've always said those should be held accountable. at this point in time what we're finding out is more concerns about the way the f.b.i. has handled not only the investigation leading up with the clinton side of the house and emails that leads into collusion which nothing has been shown. the frustration here is what are we actually going for? the president has an agenda to move america forward. we have an investigation going on but yet we need to focus on what really matters. democrats are simply playing politics with this issue again. >> jon: this minority report that some democrat members of the investigative committee are talking about issuing, would that be helpful in some

yesterday, i said congressman doug collins of georgia had urged caution.ng the release and turns out congressman collins is actually in favor of it being made public my apologies congressman. joining me now washington times opinion editor fox business contributor charlie hurt. charlie great to see you. >> great to see you lou. lou: big doing tonight in the state of the union, we're going to hear apparently a lot about immigration and something about a border wall. what do you make of it? >> yeah i think that what we're going to hear tonight from the president is going to layout what he has seen as his accomplishments for the first year and as you point out they are numerous and i think he will talk about economy and there's no doubt he will also talk about his proposal for doing something about illegal immigration and it's amazing, you know when i look back a all of the pposal s i've see over t years of the past 15 years of covering immigration've nev seen a i'm not saying i agree with the proposal but i've never seen an immigration proposal as thorough as

leadership republican congressman doug collins of georgia joining us tonight.eing here. thank you for your service a lieutenant colonel in the service, a war veteran, does this upset you that servicemembers will have to work without pay? >> why doesn't mccaskill go back to the senate floor and tell her minority leader to withhold the votes so we can get this thing passed and we can fund it? this is an interesting game we're playing here in which the senate democrats have chosen illegal immigrants who we want to see fixed, the president said we want to see the daca problem solved they have prioritized them over the men and women of service and not just the military but the other agencies who do valuable work from research to finding cure for diseases to everything else we need. this is a problem all the way around. yes, it is disheartening. yes it is frustrating but it can be solved right now. i encourage my democrat friends and republicans in the senate go vote, do your job, get this done. rick: just to be clear, if those paychecks don't come in, the families s

but you show less text 01:26:58 doug collins doug collins know, i believe we can right the -- i call them projects of constituents' interest by the way, not earmarks. these projects come from our people and i believe my friend from oklahoma and friend from louisiana mentioned the rural areas. right now we can't represent them because they're not heard really in the state legislature. all the money goes from the budget to the larger communities and that's not good. that's my job to represent them. if we don't have that, where are we going to get it? it goes back to the navigational system. how do we represent the people? i do not believe -- and mr. walker can talk about the constitution. i believe in the constitution and i believe in the right of individuals to represent their people. if you can figure it out, i can figure it out. you're worried about the chairman. i'm not frankly worried about the chairman. i can't be chairman anymore. i think they do a good job or they're not chairmen anymore. that's what i believe. >> i think the chairman stated and it was pointed out, how we right

house republican conference chair, georgia congressman doug collins. doug, what does your gut tell you? >> neil, we'll see. we're good to hear progress and mr. flake that voted to shut the government down and will vote to open it back up. they're prioritizing a illegal immigration issue over our american citizens and defense and departments and governments not opening it is getting harder to make the case. my hope they get there. we'll see here. the proof is in the votes. those will happen just shortly. neil: say it pass this is hurdle, at least in the senate on this procedural matter, mitch mcconnell has apparently been instrumental in getting us to this stage by promising to hold a vote on immigration reform, daca, you name it, if the democrats agree to reopen the government, but again, those issues go right back to you twice in the house, i'm told that maybe you, but certainly some of your conservative colleagues, are worried about overstepping here. what do you think? >> well i think the issue is, as mitch mcconnell is the majority leader of the sen

yesterday, our subcommittee and rules of the house and organization of the house, chaired by chairman doug collins, received and heard testimony from over 21 members from both sides of the aisle. not only about receiving their feedback but sometimes some frustration about the circumstance and the role of congress that we find ourselves in the appropriations process. today's hearing is a follow-up to that. a follow-up where we're hearing from outside groups and organizations who want to provide their ideas about the direction they believe congress should go. i want to thank chairman cololis not only for his time and effort but also our colleagues on the democratic side. mrs. slaughter spent a great deal of time up here not only to hear the feedback from all the members but also to speak herself about a direction we believe we should be going. so, i want to thank all the members who took their time to be here. the information feedback that we receive on important public policy issues should include outside information from experts. those who study, those who help form public policy, and those who ac
