becerra: yes. erika: one important bill that did pass this week was bipartisan majorities and it was the puerto rico rescue bill, attempting to help puerto rico get out of this massive debt. you voted against it. why? rep. becerra: i respect the work that was done on that bill. it was a bipartisan bill. actually, it was voted for and against. quite honestly, it needed to see more work done like that. this is the difficulty for me. my state of california updo years back was in a very difficult economic situation with its budget. we had a budget deficit the size of most state's entire budget. their budget, not the deficit. we were going to have a difficult time. when i want to tell the people of my state that the way to fix our economic crisis is to slice the working wages of the lowest income californians by nearly half, when they had no role in this hedge fund driven debt crisis, what i want to see californians be told that the people who would stall the restructuring that has to go on in californi

congressman becerra joins me now. mr. chairman, welcome to program. representative becerra: fernando, good to be with you. fernando: thank you. let me ask you right off the top -- do you want to be vice president of the united states? representative becerra: it's one of things if you are lucky enough to get elected to office, you want to get big things done. i'm fortunate i'm in the congress. i'm going to do as much as i can the sky should be the limit for anyone who has dreams -- they are for me as well but right now i'm working to elect clinton as president. fernando: i expected that answer, so let me move on to a hypothetical -- what does she need in a vice president? representative becerra: she wants someone who can complement all the experience she has, so someone who has the vitality to say i know a little bit more about. it does help to have someone who knows particular states, maybe has been a governor, maybe has worked in the house, senate, has done work to develop relationships to help complement everything she's done. the vitality she bring

there's another added value to becerra that "the new york times" pointed out. this is a gentleman who has been serving the latino community for decades. he's very well known in the latino community, in spanish and in english. and i think that's something that a lot of people can't say about other possible vp candidates. this is a guy who has been on spanish language tv for decades speaking in spanish and talking about the good and the bad news stories of the day. >> yeah, and i know that you know him well and have spoken to him, obviously, in both spanish and english on all of your programs, jose. he's the highest ranking latino in the democratic leadership. i think that that also will weigh a lot, as you say. >> jacob soboroff, good to see you, buddy. >> thanks, jose. >>> i want to bring in national political reporter julie and real clear politics national political reporter katelyn. julie, do you think clinton and its campaign is looking seriously at someone like becerra? >> well, secretary clinton has an awful lot on her plate at this point. not only does sh

becerra: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i just wanted to respond to my friend from illinois and some of his comments my friend from oregon. the clinton foundation. great that you raise that. because, see, the clinton foundation has raised a lot of questions in the minds of some, some are trying to politicize it, whether you agree or don't agree, because some money did come from foreign sources. this bill would terminate the need for the clinton foundation to report any sources of its income. so if you're concerned that the clinton foundation has gotten some contributions from foreign sources, this bill makes its or because under this legislation the clinton foundation would have to -- wouldn't have to report any of those contributions anymore. so that's the craziness of this legislation. it's not speculation to say what will happen. we have gone from virtually zero spending by social welfare organizations that are tax exempt for political purposes to now these social welfare organizations spending more than the political pa

becerra: we need a few courageous republicans to join as well. reporter: do you have any real reason you can defeat these efforts in the republican-led house? and many ways republicans are characterizing this is a terrorist attack but not attack on the gay community like the house democrats are. mr. becerra: so we know, as congressman cicilline mentioned, on the discrimination legislation -- the measure to try to prevent discrimination against lgbtq in this country, we had the votes. we had a bipartisan vote some 200 -- we had up to 218. 218 members in the house, republicans and democrats, who are in support of ending discrimination against the lgbtq community. we know the votes are there. now that the republican leadership can twist arms and make people flip-flop is another matter. but policy-wise, we know we have bipartisan support. politically, we understand what republican leadership is trying to do, and certainly under the leadership of donald trump it should not surprise people this has become the party of lincoln has become the party of tr

becerra for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. today social security is strong and it continues to be critically important to the american public. in fact, the need to expand and improve social security is growing because fewer and fewer workers in america today have traditional pensions to count on. and it is increasingly difficult for the majority of americans to save adequately for retirement. in more than 80 years social security despite the worst recessions we've seen in this country since the great depression and certainly the one in 2008 was the worst. but in those 80 years social security has never failed to pay benefits in full and on time. so let's be clear. social security is not now and never will be broke. social security currently has 2.8 trillion, not million, not billion, $2.8 trillion surplus in its trust fund. that exists because of working americans making contributions through their paychecks to the trust fund. even without the trust fund, social security's incoming payroll contributions from american workers w

clinton politically on "happening now" yesterday, i asked congressman javier becerra after the revelations of mrs. clinton's private email system that came out of this report and also a message he sent sent to her daughter calling it that and al qaeda like. >> i guarantee you i could have found out the answer to that question without spending 1 million taxpayer dollars. the republicans had secretary on the witness stand under oath for 11 hours. one question could've gotten to that and you don't have to spend 7 million taxpayer dollars with this partisan investigationto try to find out some of that information or to just regurgitate what we know . jon: john bolton, former us ambassador to the united nations, senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and the fox news contributor. the point of congressman becerra and many other democrats we've been talking about is that there is nothing new in this report, give us your take i think the thing that perhaps most important from what the congressman was saying is that hillary clinton really learned a lot when she served on eder rubino's j

[speaking spanish] i just have to note that for the latino community, this has hit especially hard because when you see the names, they're human beings but i don't believe in the latino community people would have expected that so many of the names would have had spanish language surnames and it brings home to so many of us that this could be your family, as well. i think we have a pretty simple message coming out of our democratic caucus. this congress should not leave this week without giving us a vote on something very

i'm joined by democratic congressman javier becerra of california. you support hillary clinton and that's fine. you might make a great vice president, that's my opinion, because i like leadership people in the house. my question is, forget the hillary thing for a second. does it disturb you the united states president, president of the united states, and secretary of defense, a fine guy, leon panetta, issued an order to go try to save these people and eight hours later, nothing really had been done, they had a three-hour meeting arguing about god knows whatever, diplomatic niceties or whatever, nothing got done. orders were not carried out. does that bother you? >> chris, first, thanks for having me on. sure, it disturbs anyone that four americans died that you want to find every way possible to show that we could have saved them so we won't make the same mistake again. but i think after some seven, eight, nine investigations, i think it's become very clear we were limited, limited in time, limited in resources, limited in good communication and the

she also got a hug from democratic caucus chair javier becerra who's mentioned as a possible clintonng mate. on her way out clinton offered this prediction. >> we are going to win this election. we're going to take back the house and the senate. >> and that certainly fired up house democrats who are not very happy about being the minority party here on capitol hill. trace? >> and what about this whole issue, mike, of democratic unity? >> well, hillary clinton has definitely tried to give bernie sanders some space. we know there have been ongoing conversations between the two campaigns about working together on issues that were important to bernie sanders. bottom line, a senior democrat in the house says there are signs of progress. >> we'll be meeting on friday in st. louis to try to hammer out some things trying to meld the positions of senator clinton and bernie sanders. and by the way, that's coming along very good so far. >> a headline out this afternoon in an interview with c-span senator bernie sanders says it appears he will not be the democratic nominee. we know he is pushing

talk about demographics with latino lawmakers like javier becerra.d you can look to someone like julian castro or the labor secretary tomas perez who may be more of a dark horse but is said to be said from clinton circles very well thought of. hillary clinton has sort of the problem of riches, many good selections, many good potential running mates. each could bring different skills, different sort of qualities to the campaign. and so whatever they choose, whomever they choose, it will be really an option of looking at a number of good possibles. now one of the real challenges is, is there a cost to any of these nominees? and certainly with warren and with booker n sherrod brown, they come from states with a republican governor who would be able to choose their successor in the senate, at least for the short run, and that has to be part of the calculation. kristen? >> kelly, i have to ask you about donald trump and his potential vp pick. there is a sense in the political world that he should choose someone who will be a stabilizing force to his campa

like the cofounder of the united farm workers and other influential latino supporters like javier becerraalifornia, some of these folks may represent establishment type firgds like you see with the rest of bernie sanders young support across the country, so what happens here on tuesday in large part will determine senator sanders' future in this campaign. >> absolutely, and going forward. look, the impact of young latinos in the voting -- of voting age throughout california and the country for november, i think, is something that we have to keep remembering is going to have a very big impact. jacob, you and i always talk about food. the next time you go to east l.a., look for caria vasquez, probably the best food around there. look for her, it's worth the search. good to see you, buddy, take care. >>> joining me now to talk about the impact latinos will have in california, msnbc contributor, victoria francesca soto. >> good morning, jose. >> according to pew, there are 6.9 million eligible voters in california. if hillary clinton wants the latino vote tomorrow, is that indicative of how h

jeffrey lourd, cnn republican commentator and javier becerra, a hillary clinton supporter and ana navarrop supporter but a republican. ana? >> yes, ma'am. >> when are republicans, and are republicans going to come around and start supporting donald trump? is it going to happen? >> i think some definitely are. i would tell you there's three factions. people who genuinely like donald trump, like jeffrey lourd. there's those who have fallen in line who think out of party loyalty to defend and protect the down ballot candidate they've got to sher him and you see different levels of support. he's pretty toxic so some of them are embracing him, some are air kissing him, some are just keeping him as far away as they can and i think the third faction is the one that i'm in, which is no way, no how, no chance will we ever support donald trump. i was just at the romney retreat last weekend and i can tell you all three factions were there, and it felt like a thanksgiving dinner with the most dysfunctional family. you thought you were going to get stabbed with a fork at some point. it is a very heate

we found that the largest influencer in becerra's life on whether she will go into --in t .girl's life the audience members says girls are only required to read about things. is there an effort to be made to revise some of these so that the girls gain an actual skill in activity? ms. chavez: i know there are a lot of girls in audience and i'm pretty sure they can testify that they actually do those activities and earn those skill sets. right? [applause] ms. chavez: i have been out in the field with girls. i have done at repelling off of many walls and done amazing things in the wilderness but i've also been with girls that are doing stem activities that are donating their time to help local food shelters. the girls are doing many things. it i think is exciting about the girl scouts today is we are allowing them to vote on the badges, and just a couple of years ago, girls did vote on the badges, over 60,000 voted online and it was interesting, they take outdoors for their badges. [applause] ms. chavez: of course, that means different things for daisies as opposed to an older girl scout,

congressman becerra, when asked if he would consider the vice president job -- where is he on the list? topstina: he has been a surrogate for her the last several months. he has a very important constituency. he seems to feel he is more likely to stay in the house. in general he is on these lists, but he is not one of the more top picks like, say, senator warren. greta: thank you both for being part of "newsmakers" this week. appreciate it. clinton'sillary speech at planned parenthood, followed by bernie sanders' remarks at a rally in washington, d.c. and donald speaks at the faith and fo freedom conference. increased,re has there are great love affairs, but it's also a family where fathers killed her sons, wives have their husbands overthrown and murdered, where sons collude in the murders of fathers. this is a family unlike any other. a tonight on "q&a," discussion of the book "the about the dynasty that ruled russia for over 300 years. >> all of the girls were wearing bullet-proof vest -- not bullet-proof vest's, but vets diamonds.the romanov inn into their underwear case they neede
