here's jeffrey brown. ( gunfire ) >> brown: in havana, a 21-gun salute marked the official start of a of mourning for cuba's revolutionary leader. ( chanting "fidel" ) university students took to the streets, chanting his name, and long lines snaked around havana's plaza of the revolution, as cubans waited their turn to pay tribute to the man who brought a communist-run state within 100 miles of the u.s. >> ( translated ): fidel has been the biggest thing in my life, for me and for all cubans. the new generations have to learn to be like him, because he gave everything to us. everything. >> brown: damien cave is in havana, reporting for "the new york times." >> it's a mix of sadness, and then also a relief, to some degree, for many. it almost feels like the whole city and whole country has just exhaled, and is both trying to kind of make sense of the past, and then also trying to move forward. one chapter closed and another chapter opens, someone said to me. it's not the full tale, but it definitely feels like a turning point, at least symbolically. >> brown: in miami's little havana

. >> woodruff: this weekend jeffrey brown sat down with senator bernie sanders at the miami book fairlk about his new book, "our revolution", to discuss the presidential election and get his take on the future of american politics. jeff began by asking sanders why he thought donald trump's message attracted so many voters. >> i think he understood that there are many millions of people in this country, the working middle class, who are really hurting. they are in pain. they are working longer hours for lower wages, can't afford child care, and are really scared about retirement because they have no money in the bank. they have seen decent jobs in their community go to china and mexico. and he said, "i, donald trump, am going to take on the entire establishment. i'm going to take on the political establishment. i am going to take on the economic establishment. i'm going to take on the media establishment. and i think a lot of people responded positively to that message. : >> brown: i was telling you that i was in iowa, north carolina seeing a lot of the things that you were seeing. peo

jeffrey brown is in charge. >> brown: from berkeley california to the louisiana bayou country, severalhousand miles and a deep cultural and political divide. in the new book, "strangers in their own land: anger and mourning in the american right," berkeley sociologist arlie russell hochschild provides a portrait of that divide through the lives of people around lake charles, louisiana. and the book has just been nominated for a national book award, so welcome and congratulations. welcome and congratulations. >> thank you. >> brown: you say you were looking for a great paradox in american political life. >> that is that the red states are states with a lot of needs, needs for their schools, needs for their health, they have lower life expectancy, more disruptive families. they depend more on the federal government than blue states, and they resist and distrust the federal government more. and louisiana seemed to exaggerate that. as the poorest state, receiving 44% of its state budget from the federal government, and being overwhelmingly very conservative. >> brown: and you're copping fr

barry brown is the principal as well as the assistant principal jeffrey mills. thank you both for being with us. >> thanks, channel 10 and duke energy of florida. >> reporter: let's talk about the programs we haven't had the opportunity -- because we have so much going the visual arts. chorus. drama. >> yeah. i think one of the things you want to make sure we highlight, it's an opportunity for our students to be in class that they are passionate about every single day as opposed to some schools every other day or short times throughout the week. our kids can fine-tune their task or skill set every day. that's what makes us unique. >> reporter: let's talk to the assistant principal, jeffrey mills. what can you talk to us about when it comes to highlighting some of the programs here and stand out? >> one of the most exciting things we provide the kids are content area experts. each area, drama, instrumental music, they have professionals that are working in their field that work with the kids every day. >> reporter: that makes a difference, doesn't it? >> absolute

brown, a lot to discuss. joining me, senior legal analyst, jeffrey toobin, also, jonathan turley, professor at law at george washington concerning constitutional law. jeff, the distinction that donald trump seems to be making between the supreme court ruling on same-sex marriage and roe v. wade, it's interesting, he says one is settled, doesn't seem like he thinks the other necessarily is. >> that's not really true, legally. the supreme court just last june reaffirmed roe v. wade in very ringing terms in the case out of texas and of course, they have approved same-sex marriage. as a legal matter, they're actually in very similar situations. politically, it's very difficult. it's that even the conservative movement has sort of given up on same-sex marriage, whereas, abortion remains where it has remained for our entire lives, the most important issue to social conservatives. and he made promises and he's going to keep them. >> jonathan, how realistic is it that the supreme court could fully overturn roe v. wade? it's been more than 40 years since the ruling. 40 years with a majority of conservative court and the ruling

>> welcome to the program, i'm jeffrey golberg filling in for charlry rose away on a insooment. we begin with a report from charlie on the browned in rose: i think it's a kind of modified sadness that there is a people understand that he has cast a huge food print not only in cuba but for someone who was simply the leader of a small caribbean nation, he had a global profile. and everybody understands that. he was in a sense the poster person for the revolutionary that i think influenced so many people in latin america, and who wanted to change their own country, whether in his image or in somebody else's image. but that image that he carefully created, i think, survived until the day he died, even though he was 90. >> we continue with my conversation in washington with peter kornbluh, julia sweig and jorge dom ingvar easy. >> he is mainly a symbol as you put it of the 20th century. but the one pit of impact he continued to have is as a resistor. very much as you introduced him, as someone who did not look at all well upon president obama's visit to havana in march of 2016 who immediate loor after obama left criticized it in publ
