jeff brown: let me applaud what judge hornby is saying. i've never been a trial judge. that is not a question i can speak to very directly. but i do know that the cases that come up to me when those suppression motions get denied, and you are sometimes looking at them -- you can see that those judges are doing the same things that the judges on my court will do, which is to look at some precedent and to say, well, boy, this looks bad, really kind of shady, but what can i do? one of the things that makes me crazy is they get segmented in a way that allows you to look at one part. when they stopped them, we say, that was just assistant-police interaction -- just a citizen-police interaction. then after they were stopped, police said they looked nervous. that rolls on into some kind of articulable suspicion. so, i agree with him that one of the things that courts have to do is just look at things realistically and try to figure out what is really going on. try to think through how things really work in a practical sense and don't pass over it at 30,000 feet. get in there a

jeff. >> brown: and now for a very different view, from ana quintana, a policy analyst at the heritage foundationerself a first-generation cuban american. >> brown: your description of the legacy of fidel castro? >> well, mine isn't quite as positive. i believe it's one of tyranny. it's one of tens of thousands of people being murdered. i mean, it's two million people who have been displaced and lost their country. >> brown: so you have opposed president obama's engagement from the beginning. what should happen now that fidel castro is dead? >> well, now i think it's time to reassess these past two years and recognize this policy has been a failure, and notwithstanding the death of fidel castro, but this year alone there have been over 10,000 politically motivated arrests, persecution against religious community is on the island and churches have been pull dozed. so president trump has a significant opportunity to revert back these unilateral concessions, these unilateral executive actions that president obama implemented and really put the ball back in the united states' court and say, you know

pthe spring our attorney and plegal expert jeff brown. pthis is big news today, jeff. pwhat the court is likely pexplain this. p>> this is usually his is pright now in florida, we do not phave a death penalty. pwhat the supreme court has said pis something that a lot of us pknew. pthe do death cases new a lot of pthis was coming for quite some ptime because they previously pruled in a case that it was not pdown death sentences. pthat those are elements of a pcrime, and facts should be layed in front of a jury in pthe jury should find beyond a preasonable doubt. pso we care and floored a new pthis would be a problem, and peffect, to day the supreme pcourt has said, in fact that it pis a problem. pthe statute as it is written pand applied is punconstitutional. pso, really, the florida's plegislature will probably pconvene some sort of emergency psession and try to pass some plaw that they believe will be pconstitutional, if they want to pkeep the death penalty in pflorida. p>> let's go back a few days pago because it comes just after pthe execution of oscar ray pboland l

jeff brown recently sat down with the pulitzer winning playwright to talk about how her latest work came being. >> brown: the year is 2000. the setting: a bar in reading, pennsylvania. as friends, co-workers at a steel plant celebrate a birthday. but as time passes, there is little celebrating. rather, a sense of loss: of jobs, friendships, loved ones, a way of life. >> the union don't have a lot to say, those jobs aren't coming back. but if we do this right, we'll protect your jobs. >> i decided that i want to go about finding the source of this trauma and figuring out how we as americans had come to that point where we could be living so close to poverty without recognizing it on a daily basis. >> you need to shut up and drink your beer. >> brown: there is humor in lynn nottage's new play "sweat" but at its core, it's a harrowing look at workers have been impacted at large forces in american life. >> three generations on the floor. loyal as hell, i never imagined working anywhere else. i get injured. i'm in the hospital for nearly two months and i can't walk, can't feel my toes. >> bro

jeff. >> brown: alright so venezuela, we hear about the impact of low oil prices in certain countries outthere. you saw it up close. you describe a country in economic free-fall, what does that look like? >> oil is everything there. 96% of their export revenue comes from oil. they hardly do anything else there and that's one level of the problem there. since they got oil 100 years ago, the gusher came and it pushed out a lot of other sectors so they don't make much domestically, so everything has to be imported now. and so now the price of oil has fallen. two years ago, it was over 110, it's around 40 now. and so they don't have dollars to import the things. when you fly there and you get there you, you just see lines, everybody's in line. >> brown: everybody's in line for everything. >> for everything. so i traveled to the western city of maracaibo, which is the original oil city in venezuela, and there i got there around 8:30 into a line, and i ran into two sisters. it was 8:30 in the morning and they're already in back. they said "well, if you want to get in front, you're probably ther

jeff brown talks about the year in movies. >> it's really legacy filmmaking about legacy journalism because it really does mark a return to some fundamental values of narrative filmmaking. >> ifill: all that and more on tonight's pbs newshour. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> and by the alfred p. sloan foundation. supporting science, technology, and improved economic performance and financial literacy in the 21st century. >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions: and individuals. >> this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> ifill: the flood tide along the mississippi river and major tributaries has finally begun to crest in places today, but for many people, relief arrives too late. towns in whole sections of missouri and illinois are under water, with at least 20 dead and untold millions of dollars in damage, and it's not over yet. the scenes of soaking wet destruction are everywhere across southern missouri: homes flooded, roads washed o

coming up on the newshour: jeff brown kicks off our summer reading series with a highly anticipated novelloosely based on the women in charles manson's cult. but first, democrats hillary clinton and massachusetts senator elizabeth warren hit the trail today in ohio, focusing their energy on presumptive republican nominee donald trump. the candidates are squaring off over trade, brexit, and which one of them is more qualified. for that, we turn to politics monday with amy walter of the "cook political report" and tamara keith of npr. let's start by the big cincinnati standoff today. i don't think it was a standoff -- between elizabeth warren and apparently very exciting rally and hillary clinton in which we saw the two of them basically take turns taking shots at donald trump. let's take a listen. >> what kind of man roots for people to lose their jobs, to lose their homes, to lose their life savings? i'll tell you what kind of a man -- a small, insecure money grubber who fights for no one but himself! (cheers and applause) >> this is a man who plays coy with white supremacists and mocks p

jeff brown, you were there at the celebration last night and toot you were at the trump tower. did you see and who did you talk to? >> brown: i was at trump tower. things calmed down this afternoon. last night, was more dramatic. this afternoon was a classic new york scene, lots of people gawking across the street. we were all held across the street. some demonstrators anti-trump, a few trump supporters were there. cops say, you know, take your photos and move on, folks, that kind of situation. the most dramatic thing was, in front of the trump tower where i think i counted seven or eight very large dump trucks filled with sand, those are obviously for protection against explosives. something tells you about the world we live in today. i can't help but reflect as i was there again going back to thinking about last night, the surreal nature of much of this, to be looking at trump tower, the wealth of fifth avenue, gucci is in the bottom floor of trump tower, to think about how this wealthy new york businessman somehow managed to connect with so many americans and is now our pres

jeff brown with pew charitable trusts. curious as to the impact of the -- been a -- has panic hispanic/latino turnout. future give us some views and what will happen in arizona and texas and so on? charlie: i will say with the benefit of sleep, a lot more data. and in somesion certain areas the latino vote was out and robust. i was hearing a little bit of it in florida. there was a bit of the cuban vote that may have complicated things a little bit. part of it is, i was talking to a political scientist that does some stuff with democratic party. i asked when texas will go purple? what i was told is, 2020 earliest, 2024 is more plausible . this person made a comparison with california. have a large, you growing latino population that typically tends to be in urban areas. then you have really, really employeeepublican unions that are more than happy to spend money on voter registration, localization -- mobilization, all of that. in texas the latino vote is much more spread out and in rural, small towns. you do not have the f
