ok richard jumping go ahead go ahead richard. yes my my point would be two things one you have classically raised expectations that the arrival of capitalist production in the third form of call third world china india brazil and so on would produce a kind of let's call it sweden of the third world a kind of flowering of a kind of capitalism that used to be concentrated in europe north america and japan and is now globalizing but that's not in the cards the plan of the article is them as mark said correctly is to make the most amount of money moving around the world with the flexibility it never had before and it's going to create little pockets of middle classes but the problem is they can't meet the expectations in the areas they're moving to and meanwhile ahead of steam is building in europe japan and the united states of a vast middle class that once they exist existed but now faces the long term disappearance of what they thought was their birthright this is a prescription for growing social conflict around the world ok mark

>> i think richard's report is dead on. fact of the matter is we don't know what's going to happen to mr. morsi. we don't know whether or not he's going to call on his supporters to rise up against this -- what he has called a military coup and what the fellow muslim brotherhood leaders call a coup. it's clear the military is rounding up leaders of the muslim brotherhood and more radical elements of egyptian society. at the same time, you have to understand that what has caused this outpouring of anger and resentment against morsi is really a complete deterioration of what essentially results in an economic catastrophe for egypt, number one. and a total breakdown of law and order in the streets of the egyptian cities. these people have been desperate for some restoration of law and order. until the army is able to demonstrate that it is able to turn power over to an elected government, i think a majority of these people are going to want to let the military run the show for the time being. >> yeah, ambassador, let's take a

producer of artes prime interest thank you both for joining me joe it's good to be here again so richard let's start with you where would you say its most appropriate to place the blame for a city that's now twenty billion dollars in debt. well i think we have to remember that what is happening to do. roy is not very different from what of afflicts cleveland camden new jersey and literally dozens of other american cities we also have to remember that detroit and these other cities have been in economic distress and declining for decades at least thirty years so what we're seeing now is really only one late act in a long running drama and i think the most important thing for americans to recognize is that this is a failure of our economic system this was a great city detroit one of the greatest in one nine hundred fifty eight at one point eight million people today it has seven hundred thousand the majority of detroit's people left a city that could not function detroit was also the place where the motown sound came from something that shaped world music all of this is been destroyed and

why bail out corporations and not city i'm completely in agreement with richard here i think i don't believe the corporation should be billed out and unfortunately the federal reserve did that and the federal government did with chrysler and g.m. and a very bad precedent was with chrysler where there was a negotiation made for the united automobile workers and they got actually more money than they were supposed to instead of detroit teachers and so there is already a bad president said that we're going to throw contract law out of the window and any bail out mechanism is just it's just preposterous because it's going to end when we have interest rates rising it's just it's not sustainable unfortunately but what about the city same what about us i mean how is it possible that you're bailing out your cronies on wall street and giving you know a g. chrysler exactly davidson i could tell there are a lot of it and not us well it's a situation but we can't bail out everybody ability to have to stop period it's unfortunate that that happened but they just have to stop because we don't have

hi, richard. thanks for having me. one of the ideas put forward he didn't ever plan on winning and he probably will not win is what most people are saying now but that he wanted to basically clean up his image. use this campaign cycle to erase this, get forgiveness so he can run the next time. whether that will work who knows. >> what next time might mean? >> right. exactly. he's basically taken himself and his wife out there for a second round of humiliation, a mere two years out and two days after his press conference i want seems like public opinion still is not going his way. one more apology isn't working even fans of huma are questioninging her trustworthiness. >> i have posited this whole campaign on a bet and that is at the end of the day citizens are more interested in the challenges they face in their lives than anything that i have done embarrassing in my past. >> so if you give him that, paula, what qualifications, what capabilities does he bring to bear here to change voters lives? >> to be honest i think
