10:00 am
make most readers blush. >> it's extraordinary. this delegation from the u.s. congress just came back from guantanmo and they say detainees have access to books and movies and one says the 50 shades books are requested more often than the koran. i'm not buying it. thanks for watching. >> cnn newsroom starts right now. we're following breaking news here in the cnn news room. we just severed word from the nevada parole board granting o.j. simpson parole. ted is joining ounce t ining us.
10:01 am
tell our viewers what is happening with the former nfl star. >> reporter: he has been granted parole and one might think that means he's getting out of prison but that's not the case. he's been granted parole on some of the charges. the current charge on the robbery that he was serving. however, starting october 2nd he begins serving other charges. he will likely spend four more years in prison. this will reduce the amount of time he spends in prison but this was expected. he'll not be getting out of prison because of it. still on the table is a motion for a new trial that a judge in las vegas is still mulling over. they're awaiting her decision over the next week or two expected. that is where o.j. simpson's lawyer believe he has a good chance of getting out of prison if she grants him a new trial.
10:02 am
he's been in prison for five years for that robbery attempt and kidnapping in a las vegas hotel room. he went in to get his memorabilia from two of his old cohorts and spent the last five years in prison. he remains in prison. >> one of the reasons they site for this decision to grant him parole are his positive institutional conduct, participation in program, lack of prior conviction history and he has consecutive sentences yet to serve. i just want to be precise in what the board said. the parole of o.j. simpson
10:03 am
becomes effective when he reaches his eligibility parole date of october 13th. after that date he will begin serving the 12 month minimum term on four concurrent 12 to 72 month sentence impose for using robbery and kidnapping. he will be seen by the board in 12 months for parole consideration on these four sentences consecutive to these four enhancement sentences. bottom line from all of that is that even though he will be eligible for parole on october 2nd of this year, he's still going to stay in jail for what another four years unless there's another change. >> unless there's another change. i just got off the phone with his attorney. this was expected that he would be granted parole.
10:04 am
two weeks ago he met with the parole board via a video conference and he talked to the board at length and said he is a prisoner of counsel. his record is clean. they expected he will be granted parole october 2nd. they really had their fingers crossed on this motion for a new trial to be litigated during the spring. they think he does have chance of getting out of prison when that decision comes down in a few weeks. for now he does remain in prison for at least the next couple of years unless he's granted more parole. yes he's on parole but he's not getting out of prison. >> not getting out yet but i'm sure he and his attorneys are encouraged by this decision. he's 66 years old. obviously all of us remember the trial back in the 90s. he was found not guilty of killing two people including his
10:05 am
wife and other individual in los angeles. how is his health right now? you were in the courtroom. you saw him up close. >> he's aged. he's put on some weight like anybody. he's aging. there's been rumors he's suffering from horrible health. according to his attorneys he's just fine. he's aged maybe more than the normal person because frankly spending time in a nevada prison is hard on anybody but they say his health is fine. he's very much looking forward to getting out. he has regular conversations with his family and his children. he's very positive this hearing in the spring did prove his case for a new trial. a new trial is one thing but getting out is another. the he's granted a new trial he will likely be released. he's already served more times
10:06 am
than prosecutors wanted him to on this case. there was a deal for just two years which he turned down. he's been in prison for five years. if he gets a new trial he'll be out. >> you say we should know within the next few weeks if he'll get a new trial. >> we should. the judge has had this now for a couple months. we anticipate she will release her findings one way or another within the next two weeks. the good news from o.j.'s standpoint is he'll hear from a couple of weeks. >> nevada parole board giving o.j. parole. that's the headline but he's not out yet. if he gets a new trial there's no doubt he will be out of bail. >> one would think so because he have granted bail throughout the first trial and as was
10:07 am
established by this decision today he's been a model prisoner. one would assume if he's granted a new trial he would be out on bail and likely released from charges. >> all right. we'll stay on top of the breaking news. o.j. simpson getting paroled on some counts as early as october. we'll see what happens with this new trial if he's out of jail any time soon. we'll stay on top of this. thanks very much. we'll take a quick break. there's lots of other news happening on the cnn newsroom including the latest developments on anthony weiner. there's new developments on that in new york. stay with us. ñó5wó ñw?ñçñññw?ñçó]ç9wjyó

10:36 am
pit. just five years ago senators name obama, clinton, biden were going at it pretty good too. sometimes this can impact a party negnegatively. the republicans are out of party. that are not only having debates about who should lead the party but what the party is about. they have been fighting about the nsa surveillance program. rand paul doesn't like that program. he thinks it's too much government, too much big brother. part of it is personal. part of it is philosophy. you get a big debate like this when a party is out of power. look at this, paul ryan does a lot better than rand paul or
10:37 am
chris chris christ chris christie. >> paul ryan was the vice president shl nominee even though they lost. he's been at the fore front of the big budget battles. he is better known nationally to republican and republican leaning voters. you have paul ryan all with relatively strong poll numbers. chris christie less strong that others. he's the more moderate of the group. those are roughly good numbers. of those four they are all possible, some would say likely contenders which means the republicans will have a good spirited race between some very interesting characters.
10:38 am
>> one of those numbers, let me put that poll back up on the screen and remember these are republican leaning voters. 30% is a pretty snant number. i'd look at that 30% and wonder what's going on. i assume that's the result of what some republicans think were overly warm welcome to president obama just before the election. >> right. chris christie only had praise for the president and a lot of people think that's what hurt romney in the final days of election. we'll see if he does run whether he pays a price for that. >> let's talk about the new information you're getting on

10:42 am
the farm bill. it passed the senate but the house is developing its own plans with no path to stepship for illegal immigrants and congress is way behind on its basic function, funding the government which runs out of money september 30th or the government shuts down. conservatives like ted cruz says that may be necessary if they can't cut money for obama care. >> under no circumstance will i support a continuing resolution that funds even one penny of obama care. >> some republicans oppose that tactic. >> that's a very self-defeating effort. during august recess most of us work harder than we do here. >> reporter: also looming, the debt ceiling. the u.s. risks defaulting on loans as soon as labor day. >> we could put the economy back into a tail spin and it's not the thing you want to do.
