and further deep and polarized politics in egypt but what it all more sees. the ghosts of dictatorship really holds the value of the kings the muslim brotherhood is being edged what will it. is egypt in danger of sliding into civil war. and our guest today is all somehow morsi the son of the ousted president mohamed morsi it's great to have you on the show and thanks for agreeing to this interview so are you hiding what exactly are you fearing. i'm not hiding being among egypt's young revolutionaries since the twenty fifth of january two thousand and eleven these young people came out to the country squares to defend the democratic path of the revolution i want to say this again and one of those people defending the cause of the january revolution and its achievements i'm out there on the streets with the others i think we need to keep the treatments of the january
12:30 am
revolution we need to stay on that which has been threatened by those who organized this bloody coup in egypt. we are defending the revolutionary cause presidency in egypt is an institutional that was a stamp list by the will of the people of the revolution today's situation is not just the president's problem. it is a violation of the people's will the constitution that the people voted for and it goes against the lawfully elected president the president all these institutions have been because of the coup this cannot be justified the egyptian people will just be observing. the coup shouldn't think. and they succeeded against the will of the people and this will never happen. now after the twenty fifth of january. people on gots with the help. of the
12:31 am
people leaders. myths what the bloody regime. is so you're saying you're not hiding but it was so hard to arrange an interview with you there was so much secrecy around it what your saying so does it mean that you can be seen in the streets every day with your supporters. yes of course. we are square with him on the streets of the revolution that are in hiding i wouldn't be able to talk to you today. where is your father now do you know. my father is. no location now with the leaders of this school criminals. they detained the president they go without any charges. and he's a little fully elected president who spoke the will of the people and on the canal
12:32 am
and now they're fighting a. secret locations where our but i don't can you expect from war criminals. they violated the cause of those mother who died in the name of the revolution and a lot of. so we still don't know where my father is kept. we don't know where he is don't know why he was detained are you worried for his life what do you think could happen to him. in the lead out of a now military spokesman in adelaide ali is basically admits that they arrested the president here so statements are a joke. he said. that the president was detained for his own safety at this point of this we say. don't worry about the president's safety. or the president come out to the people with this don't talk to the. aleutian the
12:33 am
rest here in this strange on constitutional murder and then and then what they get in that is are you not scared for his life. very dangerous a little. worried about him. and i fear for his lawyer said. but it's a revolutionary and i see him as already. resigned. to giving it to. all of us not just me but our whole family supports him with him to give us a lot of the will of the people. though and you argue. the president doesn't. get to the heart of. it can't just deal with it. this is the will of the egyptian people that are that this.
12:34 am
was about you seem very close here father in this whole process how did your father not see this coup coming i mean there where science egyptians wanted a more inclusive government a more inclusive society and the army was warning morsi. how this can and you can ask the gyptian president this question how do you know when he returns to his office through this revolutionary. out of that he will be able to tell you. i don't know the mechanism so let's govern as the i'm just the president's son but what's your take as his son and his ally on things i'm not one of those people making decisions look i don't know what the presidential meetings even though i'm his son but this is a very personal question my grandfather was deposed by revolution at one point and
12:35 am
i always told him what i thought even though i didn't take part in presidential meetings. sure i will answer this question president morsi moved to school because he recognized perfectly well that the justice and the will of the egyptian people is stronger than any stronger than the military coup and the criminals who staged it out to a club illegitimate president of egypt repeatedly sent that he believed to be in the common sense the vision of this against the of the egyptian people that well besides the prison knew that people all across the country would rise to disagree and this is what we see happening now in the master evolution of protests against the coup against the people's will being ignored all of the focus of this. but we're right now it looks like it's a fifty fiftieth's split between morse's supporters and people who want him out according to the polls fifty nine percent think the country would have been better off with the military in power. this is excellent proof that the husband morsi has
12:36 am
ruled with democratic model going to democracy you have both the ruling regime and an opposition but the case of armed forces taking on a certain political stance is something unprecedented. and this is sort of a sure sign of the military takeover. but with all due respect there is no doubt morsi has a lot of supporters but in a very short period of time an overwhelming majority turns against him it's not about the military it's the people in a democracy so much political differences and confrontations are normally settled through elections rather than tanks well i saw the image that. is there any true democracy we are normally commanded discounts the will of the people and illegally deposes the president that the coup is actually a crime committed by the egyptian military at the. right temperature breakout
12:37 am
coming next just to syria scenario possible in egypt or could there be a return of dictatorship the last state. i've seen the per session of the cross many times it doesn't matter if there's snow a heat wave or hail stones from people keep on going i don't expect anything just one i told myself i keep on going as long as my heart told me to that's all i want to at the moment. i have to send so my cheese cd i'm carrying these sayings on my
12:38 am
12:39 am
12:40 am
a heat wave or hail stones people keep on going i don't expect anything i just want i told myself i keep on going as long as my heart told me to that's all i want to at the moment. i have send so my cheese cd i'm carrying these sayings on my shoulder. do you want me to put a man in shared no that's fine a lot of people were so exhausted they could barely walk their feet hurt and some of them fainted google going back to it three two wanted to keep going i don't know what tomorrow will bring. choose your language.
12:41 am
12:43 am
right welcome back to the show the must lead brotherhood supporters have flooded the streets of cairo with demands to return their ousted leader mohamed morsi back to office what is causing a coup the revolution and the possibility of peace with osama morsi who takes close to heart the removal of his father from the presidential seat so to sum up many
12:44 am
believe muslim brotherhood has failed not even because of the religious factor but because they didn't have a political plan an economic plan do you admit that your father made mistakes. and i believe the only way to settle political differences democratic general elections. could a russian or american or british defense minister will overthrow a democratically elected government just because there's opposition really spread testing on the streets it's impossible egypt egypt. has well. passed because it was here as we'll as the that's what he is still strong so we're we. made our choice with the people of egypt not with the selected their own government but some hue have called
12:45 am
your supporters to come out to the streets and fight even if it leads to bloodshed more people died in recent events than in the whole year under morsi all of this is entirely wrong entirely. well we represent the egyptian people. and we are defending our democratic choice and. secondly we are doing it through peaceful means only i underline and peaceful means only not at all for we are not at threatening anyone and we don't tolerate threats to criminals that stage this kind are responsible for all the blood spilled on the streets full disrespecting the people as we always are and foremost accusing those that are just trying to peacefully defend their votes however defy the gyptian revolution has been peacefully and since day one the laws of no no one is threatening and one. of the
12:46 am
ones responsible for the bloodshed and violence however are the supporters of on the bar every was that we used to be difficult tiresome and each of us has been going through a whole new stage a counter-revolutionary cruel irony gates of everything the revolution achieved they destroyed a democracy a city the egyptian people and those who opts for violence that is the only people see very clearly who supports democracy on who wants to rob them of a. look but as of now muslim brotherhood is out of egypt's new defacto government muslim brotherhood refuses to cooperate if there's no cooperation stance a valid political strategy the muslim brotherhood does not speak on behalf of all the egyptian people and that's the way the whole world has to understand that the egyptian people are out in the streets right now. the muslim brotherhood only represents a certain part of the population and that the muslim brotherhood candidate does not
12:47 am
make decisions on behalf of the gyptian people they were not elected by the people or president bush sr laws and others are they have to distort the will of the people is enshrined in the constitutional is a document which he was drafted by the people and not by the muslim brotherhood. not only the brotherhood but the entire egypt believes that the crew that there should have happened to the first place it's a new government should have been imposed properly to what and are you prepared to fight it's mostly that egyptian people will not recognize the current government's authority. nor the actions of two third of you to ruin democracy that again that again they gyptian people will stand for its choice as martyrs now i'm telling you whatever it takes them one of them. but when it comes to the number of deaths when will you say enough you should ask this question to those who
12:48 am
orchestrated this violent crew that asked them when they're going to put an end to their crimes against the gyptian. how many more deaths that will take to stop us. well it goes both ways i am telling you i'm telling you to ask this to the city and his group this those coopers you must ask them when will you stop killing egyptian be able not not asking us when you when you was told to be killed we owe all of us the egyptian people we decided to rule ourselves by our well. in boxes yes yes now egypt's v board asking where is my vote where is democracy. so again so have only gyptian people out of this have the right to determine who is to rule their country and it
12:49 am
has to be determined via elections it's only by casting their ballots that the egyptian people decide part of the post or we will lose many have said the candidate of the last election will never be elected in the future money and the winner might be allowed to for a second term this is what we understand by democracy and in which country can the opposition and the moderates come to power through protests lot i mean instead of winning a general election our. people stated aloud in clear that democracy is the only road working for them and most of the people are they only think of an unsafe or negative. other they are not afraid of. murders or oppression that the rebels perpetrate out even most of the savage muscly the gyptian people are not afraid of the security forces what their foreign factor in
12:50 am
a coup. all i know is that it isn't that anti-democratic coup which aims to lead egypt from the path of becoming a respected it's almost a democratic nation when the gyptian people stage director lucian in january of two thousand and eleven and it was not a revolution of beggars nor revolution of the hungry oh no it was a revolution policed by people who are free and those free people another one so now protesting in the streets against this on constitutional illegal and on democrats a coup besides all the gyptian stop protesting the longtime democratic whose brutal and violent policies are the most loaded on a possible roll back to the practices once used by mubarak and his secret police. but no one looks at the situation in egypt from outside the first thing people are
12:51 am
discussing after the clashes what role does the united states play and it's very unclear you may not know for sure but what are your thoughts the u.s. policy has been serving only the american interests all the time i don't really care about that as. the i don't care about the situation in america i'm not interested in the medical situation there. protected a lot of the military. in the history in. other states and in egypt the us supported military coups in their enemies way you . need to do and some other countries when it was beneficial to their country that that is a well known fact and this is a model for what about talking now the situation in which he you find yourself where your father is supposed you don't know where he is there are clashes in a street do you think your u.s. citizenship is a hindrance or
12:52 am
a help. americans speak for democracy in the media but in reality they don't defend democratic principles and it is very important for egyptians not singapore democracy from the us or some other country. on january the twenty fifth two thousand and eleven is that the egyptian people will rule to make independent decisions about the future of the country if not i will vote i beg then the u.s. administration did not have a clear position on this will be enough for you paul have to clarify here the clashes are between repressive security forces and peaceful protesters or you can't use the term civil war in this situation talk about it is not a civil war between egyptians. what i'm asking is is your american citizenship helping you or damaging you right now so are many egyptians it is on the list of i don't how do you citizenship although one of my sisters these are you citizen. summer how come qatar has turned their back against you they were your supporters
12:53 am
you can ask the leaders of carter on this question. but you certainly have your opinion on that as well. i don't really understand the position on the. will it turn are doing really can. i only care about the will of the egyptian people that's the main thing. to think that the syrian scenario may repeated egypt absolutely not that's a gyptian zone understand what's going on. the egyptian army is the army of all the people egyptians understand it we are well respected that. they just know me as well respected two of the others know me we like a great chief straight little to love people miss out on the difference i was you know the army on a few military commanders who organized the coup. some i thank you very much for
12:54 am
taking the time to talk to us this was a somewhat more sedate son of the ousted president mohamed morsy you are what sort of think i mean so cool shevardnadze thanks for watching also next time. i would rather i asked questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right
