joining us from new york is alexandra pelosi, director and producer of a new hbo film, "the words that built america." thank for being here on c-span. >> thanks very much for having me. >> what is the premise for this film and what did you learn putting it together? >> i started it day after the election. the idea was, i knew whoever won, half the country was going to be disappointed. so i thought, what can i do to bring everybody together. i sat down with hbo and we thought about what we could do to make republicans and democrats come together. and we thought about the founding document as the one thing we could get everybody together to read. so i get 50 senators and supreme court justices and the secretaries like hillary clinton and john kerry, and i asked everybody to read a passage from the constitution. so that we could have one thing that we could show on july 4, that there is a connective tissue that keeps this country together. this thing about our democracy very fragile thing and it is magical that, two hundred 40 years later, we are still celebrating this one document that o

. -- alexandra at the white house. what has come out of this chain of emails? alexandra: what is very significant about the emails is that we now know that donald trump junior wanted to meet this russian lawyer in order to get dirt -- damaging information on hillary clinton. we also know that i had of this meeting, he was informed that this was part of russia's government support for his father. his response to that was "i love it." this is very significant because this is the first public indication that at least some in trump's campaign were willing to accept russia's help. brent: donald trump junior said that he posted the emails. he did it to be transparent. is this a move that is working in president trump's favor? >> president trump issued a statement saying that his son was a high-quality person and i applaud his transparency, that is what the president said, the problem is that according to the new york times, they were going to publish the content of the emails anyway. they asked donald trump junior to comment on that, instead, he just published those

he was the one that spoke to alexandra. i wasn't there for the entire conversation.t was on the record. it's easy to find out exactly what she said. that's possible. i guess you could say, from what i understand -- what we reported and what she's saying, that the dnc did not ask her to go to the embassy. she had these relations with the embassy. she was possibly you could say freelancing when she spoke to them. there was obviously cooperation or there seemed to be some work which she admitted to when she spoke to us. but the question here i guess is whether or not the dnc was asking her to do this. remember, i said she was a consultant until june of 2016. so it's entirely possible that this was of her own -- that she did this on her own. >> all right, guys. thanks so much. we want to get a take from the clinton campaign, a former member of that team. joining us now is karen finney, former senior adviser and spokesperson for hillary clinton's campaign. karen, it's clear what this isn't, right? we know the ukrainian effort was not directed by the president of ukraine,

alexandra pelosi? guest: wow. that is deep. i think it is a beautiful, beautiful call to action. and, i am going to choose to just suck it in and say, happy fourth of july to you. i think i cannot over share my feelings about what is going on in the political climate because i think it will undermine my ambassador of hope that i am hoping i can bring people together and try and say that on this fourth of july, will all of the americans. it's hard to say that, women do not get anything in the founding documents. they gotten nothing. got something but i will not politicize these documents. i will say as a woman, sometimes it is hard to feel like you're getting your voice heard in this american political climate. that is not what we are here to talk about. we are saying, proud to be american. host: deborah you are next. caller: i have to let you know, i have been inspired. , republicans,ly democrats, independents, people who are registered, not register to come together and read the constitution. any if we do not get desperate to come together to do that that happy independence day.

what have we learned about those discussions, alexandra? >> reporter: natalie, everyone will leave the g20 on the same page, saying denuclearization of the korean peninsula is the goal at hand. you did have the phone call with japanese prime minister shinzo abe in which that was obviously the main focus. our uning from the japanese readout of the call is that the leaders decided they would have a trilateral meeting during the g20 between japan, south korea and the u.s. to talk further about how to work to denuclearize the peninsula and also how to get china to play a larger role. you know of course that the trump administration has been looking to china since coming into office as the key player in this conflict. they see china as having the most leverage over north korea. they want to see china using that leverage. this was an interesting phone call as we understand it between president donald trump and president xi jinping. it appears they both confirmed the fact they will continue to cooperate, this is cooperation that started back at th

let me begin with you, alexandra? is this politics as usual?in my personal experience, this isn't just politics as usual. this is the kind of meeting where we would have run this by campaign council. that said, it's important to know the trump campaign was new to the political game. i am confident the special prosecutor is going to look into allegations of wrong doing. >> does it matter -- hold on. does it matter if you are new at it? if you choose to run for president and get as far as president trump did and you choose to have your son working on your campaign with you and your son-in-law, does it fly to use the excuse they are new at this? >> well, like i said, i don't speak for the president. i can only speak from my own personal experience say thg isn't politics as usual to me. i think it highlights the importance of groups like ours and professionals like ours working in opposition research. people like steve and i know where the ethical lines are to produce the best product for our client. >> you are saying this is ethical or unethical?
