such is the case with clarence butterfield. he's been here for two years and now his trial is only weeks away. >> it's a pretty hideous charge. i'm just being charged for, you know, killing my daughter. >> i found her dead about 11:45 on december 26th. i tried to like, revive her. but she was icy cold. it's like she had been dead for a while. all i did was sat there and looked at her for like two hours. >> why didn't you call the police. >> every time i call the police is i get arrested or hassled. all they would have done is i would have got arrested earlier. they weren't going to believe she was like that when i walked in. they're not going to believe that. >> butterfield has pled not guilty. >> it can't get much better than that, right? you can go around the world and not find anything close to this. i don't think they're really looking very hard to find the one-armed man. you know the one-armed man, the movie "the fugitive." i said you've been in homicide for 12 years and you've never seen "the fugitive"? i thought that was

host: columnist, clarence page "the chicago tribune," joining us for this discussion. next.ou are caller: hi, clarence, act of it seems n the city, to be one of the talking points f more conservative callers or politicians, to bring up the violence in chicago. if you might comment on your perspective of whether this an attempt to diminish and ny national aspirations a manual might have? guest: interesting thought about -- for all , i the bad news that has come out of chicago on the crime front all, there has not been a big stampede of people to run him.nst the fact is, he ran for mayor at city was n the bankrupt, going bankrupt and the ande, as well, deep in debt he was overwhelmingly elected set of a diverse , 45 dates very quickly minutes. so they voted for him because they wanted somebody tough and i is what they got. ometimes he's offended people, but on cutting funding to schools that were half utilized problem that occurred in washington, d.c. with mayor posing enty, you start people's high school, they haven't been there in 40 years, hey get very upset, this hap

then we meet clarence who comes off as this very strong, straight-looking guy.nd because terry was constantly running into problems with his cellmates, he needed protection, for lack of a better word, and clarence was willing to offer that for terry. they characterize their relationship as two old friends. >> home sweet home, huh? >> we all grew up in compton. so terry's house was like the hangout spot. we got gang sisters. we're always hanging over there drinking, shooting dice. terry always comes over with a gang of girls. terry, who's your friend right here? we're trying get terry to hook us up with his friends. terry starts looking more and more like his girlfriends. we're like, whoa, terry, are you gay? you really are gay? >> but maynard, serving time for felony prostitution isn't just homosexual. he's convinced he is really a woman inside a male's body. >> being my sexual orientation is touch and go. we're trying to find somebody who will want to be my cellie without all the criticism. >> transgender? >> because you're a transgender. if you live in my cell

. >> we're joined now by president and ceo of voter latino and clarence page.avid, as the republican on the panel, i'd like to go to you on this. you worked in the bush white house. there are days like this when presidency has to make a deal to get by for some period of time and maybe fight a better battle tomorrow. those kind of deals always have to be spun a certain way. it seems that the trump/pence spinning method didn't work, at least, with the rush limbaugh sample of the trump base. >> in 1981, first year of the reagan presidency, he had his tax cut law by the end of the first week in may. george bush, the president i worked for had his tax cut law by the end of may. donald trump as of april 21, didn't have a tax plan written at all. it's not going to be law by the end of may. it certainly won't be law before the summer recess. rush and his callers are right, he doesn't have a lot to show for this. the thick they got wrong, one of the things that he said that was interesting is he said the losers of the 2016 election, and he had in mind the democrats, but

clarence has been waiting in fredericktown, ohio. clarence, good morning. >> caller: yes. thank you, c-span. first of all, i'd like to apologize for the congressman that was just on from ohio. these people lie so much. i am so devastated by when i see the mountaintop removal stuff. i've been -- reading about it. looking at it. talking to people about it. and the after affects alone are enough that should stopped all this on nature. why is all the corporations owning all of our nature? they're moving in now to our nature preserves. the things that the government set up for us to save nature for the people. now all the parks are going to be open to this stuff. this lady, ms. stockman, thank you so much for what you do. i wish i could do more but i can. we run a farm. we run a clean farm. 50 acres. no rain. no gmo. no nothing. our animals are on all grass. just to conserve and pull carbon out of the air. that's the best we can do. >> clarence, thanks for sharing your story. vivian stockman? >> well, you know, the caller is talking about cleaner agriculture. i mean, there are

paul: so clarence thomas was the fifth vote here.ed at his jurisprudence for years, he abhors the use of race as a, in redistricting and anything else. he thinks the constitution is essentially race-neutral. >> right. and that's why he voted -- paul: why did he vote for the liberals -- >> because, again, it's not whether race is a fact or or the factor, he says once you're talking about using race here, he thinks that's just an outdated notion, and that should not be -- and he's right. the thinking behind this gerrymandering is that we need to segregate voters by race in order for black elected, black figures to be elected x. this is nonsense in this world we live in. under obama lots of whites voted for obama, and he wasn't the first black candidate to receive a lot of white votes. so i think this is just an outdated interpretation of the voting rights act. paul: but, collin, is clarence thomas with that vote for different reasons empowering the liberal interpretation of the voting rights act? >> right. i think that's very interesti

what struck you about what clarence gideon had to relay to his lawyer? >> so it's a -- apparently a 22-page letter. and it's reprinted in full in the book. and it's an incredible story to me of what it was like to be poor and living on the margins of society. now, as a white man, if you were black, it would have been a whole lot worse at that time. but as a poor white man, he tells his story without emotion. but about growing up and in and out of jail. with gambling problem. with a long-time alcoholic problem. married three or four times. trying to hold down various jobs as a cook on a boat and running a poker game. and having his kids taken away from him. and his wyche going to jail. and his battles with all these different state agencies that was really a poignant portrait of being a poor man on the margins of society in america at that time. but the quote that sticks with me the most is he writes, again, very simple. but at the end of his letter, this isn't a supreme court brief. he's not expecting anybody to see this except his lawyer. but he writes

back with me, yamiche, clarence, and john. okay, john.e bit like we'll of fortune to me, but covfefe. first of all, how do you pronounce it, and what does it mean? >> i don't know how to pronounce it, and not to ruin the joke, but he clearly meant to write coverage, negative press coverage. but i think he provided a retrieve from the news avalanche we've had. the president spends a little too much time on twitter. so do political journalists. i think everybody had a lot of fun making up jokes. >> i'll give you a chance at pronouncing it too, clearance. i got to give the president credit for at least making a little light. it was sort of fun. i think he had fun with it. >> i want to know what is so wrong with saying the president dozed off because that's obviously what happened here. >> i mean i make mistakes on twitter all the time. that's what you think it is? i'm going to use that excuse next time i do it. >> as i gave away earlier, i'm almost donald trump's age. i know how it is when you're 70 years old. number one, you don't change. n

clarence page is a columnist for "the chicago tribune." "the boston globe." clarence, first to you. we're losing a lot of people. >> so far. it reminds me of an episode of the apprentice. i think somebody else said that earlier in the program here. but it's an interesting kind of a carnage if i may usehat word because they all seem to be involved in one way or another with an investigation of trump or his people. and trump seems to be rather cavalier about it. i mean not a lot of preparation. this thing sounded like it happened all of a sudden, including leaving comey out there to be notified through the media out in california. >> i guess with pretet bahar ra we focus on him because he's southern district of new york, but there were lots of people who were fired, just not on the investigation. >> oh, yeah. the preparation here was scant to, you know, almost none. i mean the white house last night was a complete -- >> how is it today? kissinger was there. i mean you can't make this stuff there. the foreign minister lavrov was there and the

clarence darrow by nitpicking on his side overcame brian's knowledge of the bible and events and so on. the press went away from the sane that -- this was in rural tennessee, this place -- thinking that fundamentalists were a bunch of hicks, rural hicks that would eventually going to be run over by the powers of modern entity. in fact, the fundamentalist preachers of the day were very educated men who preached in new york city, st. louis, in these tall steepled churches and that, no one saw. instead of disappearing, these fundamentalists pastors, powerful ones, started creating their own fiefdoms in various parts of the country, you know. hundreds of churches, their own denominations, parts of larger dominations and this went completely unnoticed until after world war ii. >> talk about that. the word evangelical gets retrieved after world war ii. who did that? why do they do that? >> i say in the book that it was billy graham. it was in the popular way but it was also a lot of his friends and mentors like ogden gay and others. graham and ogden gay were what became the nationalist decis

to blackmail by the russians and then disclosure of highly classified information without any pre-clarence. whatever you think about the appropriateness of the information going to the russians, there was none to make community telligence about. the only way to make sure that we have the tapes and transcripts of the russian meeting and the comey conversation is to subpoena the othertranscript, and records. prosecuting 101. a you think it exists, put subpoena on it. if the other party says it does not exist and in fact later it does, there are criminal penalties. without those subpoenas, there is no accountability to be sure verify determine and whether those tapes and transcripts exist and that we are getting all of them, they need to be subpoenaed. and as my personal view special prosecutor is necessary to ensure this into the -- this complete and is has the approval of the people. >> the united states has the oath act. that says members of congress to support the constitution of the united states. today we are called to fill that both regardless of what -- to -- to that both fulfill that

the last man to be put to death here was clarence ray allen in 2006. the executions stopped because a judge put the 3-drug lethal injection on hold. then in november voters approved prop 66 - meant to streamline the process and get the death penalty moving again. but that's been put on hold by the california supreme court to review its constitutionality. if garcia torres does get the death sentence - he will join the other 728 men on death row right now at san quentin who are awaiting execution.

you look at supreme court justice clarence thomas who was attacked returned to have used a different from the majority of people who looked like him, that's awful. >> i don't think he is attacked for being and having views for having views that are different. he has a wide and broad respect of the african-american community and he is a staunchly conservative republican. i've known him for years when he was in columbia the state legislator so i think clarence thomas is a very special case with the vitriol with which he's chosen to carry out a lot of his policy and he's a hard man to understand. >> tucker: i think he's gotten most of the vitriol and i would ask you this. when you're a public servant, do you think that you have a duty to represent your fellow citizens first, second, and third or do you think you have the duty to represent people who look like you to?
