cherokee leader john ross in the lead-up to president jackson's signing of the indian removal act of 1830. >> our featured attraction, of course, this evening is the great steve inskeep who i'm sure is already familiar to many of you. certainly, those of you who listen to national public radio. he's been an on-air presence there for 19 years, and for over a decade now he's been one to have hosts of "morning edition," the most widely-heard radio news program in the united states. i take your guys' word for it right? and steve appeared here at p and p three and a half years ago when his first book was published, "instant city," which chronicled a day in the life of karachi, pakistan. and he's back now to talk about his second book, "jackson land." in it steve goes not abroad, but back in time in the united states to the era of andrew jackson. he tells the story not only of jackson, but of john ross, the tribal chief of the cherokee. once military comrades, these two men ended up on posing sides of an epic struggle over land seize sur and resettlement of native american tribes that severely

with john ross on it. then you flip it over and you have on the other side andrew jackson. it was part of a great and important story that shouldn't be forgotten. this is different than a campaign that has a lot of publicity that i think is brilliant to put a woman on the 20-dollar bill. [applause] .. >> [applause] >> get on the inner say go an hour-and-a-half south end you take a right to and you come across a nondescript little town courthouse square absolutely an admirable one of the space miss america that is the center of the biggest book "go set a watchman". >> guest: you find el little landlocked town in alabama that hasn't changed too much from teethirty description in and "to kill a mockingbird". keeping an eye out for the kfc. [laughter] there was a time the town council would tear down the old courthouse because they built a 1960's courthouse now of course, that has been restored now looks like a torch. is the shrine to american literary culture but that is the best thing about that tower. there is still though museum friedman and trimming capote where his home town was

week. so the idea to me that these public shamings -- >> john ross wrote a book about that. >> and john ronson's book, so what, you have some reputational annihilation. people's lives are shattered, you know, their relationshipses their careers. >> let me argue the other side. you've got this sigh, one who sent a dumb tweet, a stupid tweet about going to africa, and her life was, you know, she was blown up on twitter, fired, but then you also have bill cosby. this seems like on the same -- that he escaped liability for years, and when you talk to his alleged victims, they say it was social media, it was essentially this public shaming function that for the first time is brings accountability. it's like ferguson, right? so it's possible that the price we have to pay for the justice, the social media has brought to black lives matter, to sandra bland, all of these different cases that might have before gone under the radar. maybe the price is we're going to live in this crowdsource pen-opt i con, is sort of seeing this frosting vengeance is disturbing. >> there is something unnerving

welcome to the 4. sheriff ross mirkarimi lashed out because of the mexican immigrant accused of killing kate spineley. >> we turn live to the city. hey, john. >> reporter: i have to tell you this press conference was one of the more packed press conferences and it had to be 50 members of the media jammed in this mall room and ross mirkarimi talked about 45 minutes and 20 that he gave a prepared statement and he talked about the history of the case and what happened to get francisco sanchez in custody and they followed protocols to get francisco sanchez here and after the judge dismissed the charge of marijuana possession, that they released him without informing the ice that they were doing it because that is not their protocol, that the sanctuary city law prevents them from doing that unless there's a warrant or a court order in place. mayor ed lee said that sheriff could have done a courtesy call to let ice know he was being released and ross mirkarimi disagrees. >> the mayor's story's law under the buzz simply trying to walk away from the ordinance he signed into effect becau

released francisco lopez sanchez. ktvu's john sasaki has more about what the sheriff had to say. >> reporter: san francisco sheriff ross mirkarimi-- >> there's been i think a significant amount of distortion or misinformation. >> reporter: the sheriff gave a long prepared statement about the history of the case involving murder suspect francisco sanchez in which he blamed federal authorities. sanchez was in federal prison until march 26, at which point he was transferred to san francisco on an old warrant. >> this is the only time we have record that the federal authorities sought to clear the 1995 felony warrant for possession or sale of marijuana. >> reporter: despite sanchez's being deported multiple times prior to now, even with the outstanding warrant. >> federal authorities could have repeated their earlier process as they had done numerous times before and deported him without responding to the 1995 warrant. >> reporter: but why not make sure immigration customs enforcement gets him back after the city released him april 15? he said it was up to the feds. >> i would actua

a third-party run. if he does that, john, does that help or hurt the eventual republican candidate? >> it will be devastating. it will have the same impact as ross perot had against george h.w. bush. and the '92 election. so i think the republicans do have a kind of tread lightly on trump. you know, i think in his own way trump is going to collapse. i don't think republicans should panic over this because trump is so all over the place on so many different things he's not -- at the end of the day the american people are not going to want him to be their president. i don't think republican primary voters will either. >> i'm curious though. whose candidacies do you think trump has hurt the most? talk about the vitriol back and forth. rec pirry will probably be on the fox news stage. lindsey graham at this point would not make the cut. >> i think he actually helps jeb bush. bush is already the front-runner. and he's going to keep doing his thing. i think if you're someone who like a rick perry or a lindsey graham or john kasich, trump hurts because he makes it harder for other candida

. smart thing for him to say. no way. had ross perot not run you would never have heard of bill espondent, john king, host of inside politics, and chief political analyst gloria borger. interesting he dent close the door on a third party run. long way out. the idea of it must concern republicans? >> yes it concerns republicans. but he understand the perot experience. hard for a third party candidate to win. however the reason trump is doing well in the republican party, second place, getting so much attention, there is a disgust with politics in america in both parties. there is this opportunity for an independent candidacy. it costs a lot. he has the money. is he the right guy? not sure. if i could turn to one thing he said. a lot of what he says that just makes you shake your head. he thinks he is elected. china will revalue the currency. donald trump says. mexico will pay for the wall. donald trump says so. he said, putin would turn over snowden. i would get along with putin. orgia and ukraine. that's a guy you want to get along with. >> can i point out to one thing he said t

elected. they convinced that bill clinton needed ross perot and there is this fear around a donald trump presidency. the question i have specifically about i guess the historical context and what we saw around the john mccain thing. the reason i believe donald trump isn't going to go away not a flash in the pan like the beltway says and the republican insiders say is because i feel he is gaffe proof. that i would have thought that saying something like that about john mccain, about a legitimate war hero and a revered senator and the previous nominee that was grabbing the third rail you're dead. it's over. if you can increase your chances after something like that, it seems to me there is no way he can damage himself by sticking his foot in his mouth. there is nothing he can say that will offend anybody. if the republican electorate, a big chunk, is unoffendable i don't see why he is going to -- >> one of the reasons i don't see imminent collapse is listen in television there's a lack of dignity. you can't be in television and have your dignity stay intact. trump understands that. r

president reagan's 1984 re-election campaign advised ross perot in 1992 and more recently mike huckabee and michelle bachmann. atop nearly every recent poll donald is a lock on the debate stage. john weaver an adviser to the ohio governor says the campaign believes he will be in the debate even if he's currently missing the cutoff. weaver recently tweeted, imagine a nascar driver mentally preparing for a race knowing one of the drivers will be drunk. that's what is happening for this debate. >> jonathan capehart that would be a nervous night in nascar race. >> and it's a great description. mark has -- in his comments has been dropping his little things that trump has done. it would have blown up anyone else's campaign. granted, i was one of those people who said that when he -- when trump said what he said about senator mccain that his campaign was done. because who ever heard of a presidential candidate denigrating the service of a war hero a former prison of war who is still in the race? and so -- >> jonathan. it wasn't just you, jonathan. i mean it was a guy like pete wayner
