neera, your response? >> i think i'm gratified the department of justice investigated and found the specific russians who targeted americans who stole from american americans in order to influence the election, the fact that we have an impartial enough department of justice and mueller investigation to find the truth is vital for our democra democracy. i think it's frankly insane that the president of the united states is going to have a summit with putin and after we have these facts in front of us i would call on the president to not have a summit, to actually be a president for all of americans and act in the defgs of our country and say to putin that your acts against america are intolerable because i don't trust that's possible from a president aid ed and we may hav evidence he colluded directly for these results. i think the president needs to cancel the summit. >> neera raises the foreign policy implications. it's so remarkable to learn today that donald trump was beefed and knew we were moving as a

latino, african-american, who are united and uniting to take our country back. >> thank you, neera. >ave this conversation at this point to request live to the house foreign i fairs committee. members are gathered this morning to hear about foreign policy in the western hemisphere. officials from the state department and u.s. agency for international development are witnesses. they'll be asked about u.s. interests in latin america and the caribbean region this is live coverage on c-span 3 [ gavel ] >>> we'll call, call this hearing to order. today we look at u.s. policy toward latin america and toward the caribbean. our relationships in the western hemisphere are forged by deep cultural and economic ties. we export a lot of goods to the caribbean. and that supports many u.s. jobs across latin america, our trade ties are just as

engaged means you're doing what neera said, contacting your congressperson. right now the president wants you to think that the selection of a supreme court justice is a reality tv show, and that you're supposed to wait until 9:00 tonight, fix yourself a cocktail, get some popcorn and watch this unfold. he wants you to think you have no power. but under the constitution, someone can only be confirmed for the supreme court not only if the president picks them, but if they are confirmed by the united states senate. the senators represent you. so your job -- your job -- your job as a member of this great community in this country is to contact your senator and tell them what you want. every senator will have a vote. there will be a senate judiciary committee first, and then every senator will have a vote. what do you want them to do? tell your senator i don't want you to roll back voting rights. tell your senator, we stand for treating immigrants humanely. tell your senators, we stand for upholding lbgtq rights. tell them what you want. tell them the questions y

so neera, please weigh in. i know it's loud.st tells you exactly what the game plan is here. the game plan that the right has and kavanaugh will pursue is to say that roe should be up to the states, which is just another way of saying that in 22 states, roe will be overturned. and i think the reality is that kavanaugh, any judge, but kavanaugh in particular, will try to have a kabuki theater of saying he supports the essential, you know, press dept a -- precedent and things like that, but the supreme court is a critical issue. senators can not let that stand. they have to ask where judge kavanaugh stands on roe v. wade. i think the truth is he's already supported the dissent in roe v. wade. he's argued for its being overturned. he is someone who will likely overturn roe v. wade. >> so i've got to ask you, and i don't know if you saw mitch mcconnell today, the senate majority leader. he was blasting democrats, what he called unfair tactics on the left. he wrote this. there was a press conference and he wrote this. this is a tweet

i was hoping for the same from neera that's why we married her off is what. we're near is family lives in a poor muslim area many people here believe that selling their daughters off to the emirates will be their salvation. the women's rights group shaheen says that this happens in every third family here. every day desperate girls show up at the women's center not all of them are about to be sold off abroad often they come because of every day problems. jameela in the shot is the founder of shaheen she doesn't accept poverty as an excuse she says the problem is that many muslim families few women as property it's not just. because it was poverty a it also but greed is one of the things and especially as the girl was married many gave a giving so much of it still money supposing she is married one day she may get fifty thousand sick and of the fifty thousand and if she is a good looking she's the one who lacks. authorities in hyderabad have recently started to crack down on the trafficking of women and girls earlier this year police arrested numerous people i

. >> neera, given you're disclosed as an opponent to him, he seems to be telling the truth there how he views this and his motivations. >> absolutely. look, throughout this whole long national nightmare of this investigation where the president has seemingly lied regularly, what's obvious is that the trump legal team is their foremost goal is indict the prosecution and drive opposition to the prosecution, make it impossible for republicans to act because it's seen through a partisan lens, and it's almost as if they concede on some level that they're guilty and their goal is just to make it impossible for a jury to convict. like in a normal trial, what this would be seen as trying to tamper with the jury pool. i think in some way that is what guiliani is confessing to, trying to throw up as much mud as possible so american people are confused with whatever mueller comes out with. let's be candid, do you that when you're guilty, not when you're innocent. >> you know, i'm struck by something rudy said. he said nobody can be sure of anything. i think, you know, it sounds almost putinesqu

my name is neera tanden and i am the president and ceo of the center for american progress action fund. welcome to this important event. over the past two years, it has been unmistakably clear that even in the most divisive of times, the american people agree on at least one a thing. that they are fed up with the status quo here in washington. mrs. a system in which many special interests have placed a stranglehold that legislators a day after dayy we hear of the republican congress and the trump administration are cutting special deals over the needs of the american people. donald trump didn't drain the swamp. the swamp is now drowning our government. the american people understand that the corrupting influence of big money and our government needs to policy with shortchange interest of hard-working families with health care, tax laws or basic civil rights. in fact, a recent poll conduct and found a strong majority of voters from across the political spectrum want lawmakers to reduce the role of money in politics. so it's time for leaders to fundamentally rewrite the rules that govern

. >> neera, this was something that your candidate mentioned at debates and you tried to get a traction for, do you think this is why you lost the election? >> hillary clinton lost the election by 70,000 votes across three states. the idea that wall-to-wall wikileaks coverage driven by donald trump and his 164 mentions of wikileaks in the last month of the campaign did not create 70,000 votes across those three states. none of us will know. the idea that anyone can say that it did not actually create the loss. we can't say that. and i think that is what we have to recognize, which is, the russians did this for a purpose. it was to help elect donald trump and he was elected in a very close, competitive election in which their work was used in the national media daily with a constant drip, drip, drip. that is why i think this information is important. i think it's really vital so we get to the bottom of whether there was direct engagement by donald trump himself. i will remind all of our viewers of one simple fact. which is, the wikileaks dumps started within minutes of the "access hollyw
