clashes between rival groups meanwhile egypt's new interim president is expected to name a new cabinet belcher who has been following the situation for us in cairo. you know all second downtown cairo in the capital there were fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of the former president mohamed morsi i was actually in the street battles myself my source of billions with guns them on the tops of rocks people were breaking up into the pavement to throw at each other to stretch across three of the major bridges between on either side of the between these rival protest groups the security forces got involved for a while but they couldn't contain the violence we have heard that the interim president is expected to announce his cabinet this is hopefully going to put down some of the state institutions that we can try and sort out the situation in the country which is becoming impossible in addition there have been grimace of talks begin between the muslim brotherhood group which is the islamist party that the deposed president hails from people are looking to the miniature right now to con

stay cool with gold bond. >>> we're back with chris plant, paul begala, ana navarro, and cornell belcherwant to first just ask you about the president's jobs tour. gave three speeches over this past week. he is really gearing up, first of all, for next year's elections, but second of all, for the fights this september, which we talked about with peter king. i want to show you a recent poll where americans were asked, do you approve or disapprove of the president's handling of the economy? 45% approve. 49% disapprove. and yet there is a feeling, as we go into this, that the people holding the cards is the white house. >> i'm surprised those numbers with that good, quite honestly. the economy is stuck in a rut. it has been since the president arrived in washington. his tour, his economics tour, offers absolutely nothing new. even "the washington post" is mocking the content of this. it's about dividing the country once again in preparation for another food fight in washington, and it's about the midterm elections. >> i'm sorry. what was the unemployment number when the president took offic

and cornell belcher. i saw something the president said back in 2009.dy who believes that constantly talking about race somehow solves tensions. what solves racial tensions is fixing the economy, putting people to work, making sure people have health care and ensuring every kid is learning out there. it's an interesting statement. cornell, let me start with you. what do you make of it? do you expect the president to be talking more about racial issues? >> well, look, i understand that we all sort of want the president to talk more about racial issues. but i want us to understand by doing so, we are inherently playing into a double standard. and that sort of encapsulates the problem. we want the president to make a presidential statement and then go further. so to a certain extent, barack obama is trapped in this racial problem where he can't simply be president. he has to be president and address these issues in a way that george bush had to be president. >> it's an interesting point. >> i absolutely believe that. you can't expect this man to solve the

in our panel, which includes nationally syndicated radio host chris plant, paul begala, and andrea belcherout this split in the republican party. i think the congressman said it very well. we'll find out in the next three years what's the real republican party. where's it going to land? >> that remains to be seen. honestly honestlily, it's a perfectly healthy debate. the things that they're split on, congress should be split on too. should we be spied on for our own good, our own safety by the nsa, or should we find another way around that by creating si system that doesn't violate the fourth amendment and create a police state? >> can i say something on that? there was absolutely no spying going on. this has been held by the courts through total compliance with the fourth amendment. and that type of irrational rhetoric gets us nowhere. the fact is this works. it protects us, and it's not violating the rights of one american. not one american's right has been violated. it's irresponsible to be coming out with those ridiculous statements. >> i'll let you respond to irrational, and then we'l

reporter belcher right there and a historian and middle east expert he says the army's decision to step into the conflict may well do more harm than good it seems very much that the army is essentially trying to determine the future and that could well be a return to the past because what is very striking is see there isn't an obvious alternative to morsi there isn't a clear figurehead for the opposition so even if will suit was to resign it was nobody automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court invalidated the elections to the parliament so that we haven't it is a very very difficult situation as only one post with any kind of democratic legitimacy that's the president and his own legitimacy is now under attack from huge crowds in the streets and from the army and the police who refuse to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or if most of stays in power it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty. was sources coming into the country terrible problems about paying for the import of vital resources including food those can

arrested and investigated the islamists are steadfast in rejecting the army that toppled their leader belcher was in cairo with more. egypt's prosecuted general this is from judicial sources has actually frozen the assets of fourteen leading is the most figures who are behind mohamed morsi this comes after of course the reports all the rest so many of that lead is of course off to these recent reports all of the charges laid against the former president himself meanwhile the most a brotherhood for their part maintains they will steadfast they want president the former president morsi to come back and they will not move from the city in a mosque in central cairo and that the universities to cairo until he is reinstated meanwhile with things in the can developments here in the interim government we have a lot of appointments and i don't want to make significant ones is the vice president of foreign affairs and mohamed but a he is a leading opposition figure and once had or what was the largest coalition of opposition forces the national salvation front another leading opponent we've had is that

landed a blow to the country's tourism industry and the wider economy more details from our correspond belcher. behind me is the egyptian museum one of the most popular tourist destinations in the whole of the country is the first port of call for many tourists coming off the plane here in downtown cairo however it isn't empty this is a scene that's been seen across the country in all the most popular tourist destinations following a week of political turmoil after the ouster of mohamed morsi egypt's tourists and history which makes up a never percent of the country's economy has taken a massive beating since the only way to define revolution particularly as terrorists are becoming increasingly scarce in the last week we've seen massive makes my demonstrations funded by clashes between rival groups on sunday fifty people were killed in clashes between security forces and supporters off the deposed president leaving many to feed the terrorist were coming to egypt in the future. that been travel warnings have been issued by embassies including the us embassy actually sent may spend on a measure

and you can always find more information on this is haitian in egypt from belcher's tweets account that's at bi-lo tree and also that is our very own pulis clearwater in the developments just type or to see underscore to get all the latest info from. it is the brotherhood in says the national leaders who announced a new government on wednesday did not represent that follows dr mohamed abdul aziz a leader of the sacramento islamic center in the u.s. believes that undermining the power of the ballot box will lead to catastrophe in egypt what happened in egypt is obviously mubarak's military going back in order to take the country back to the all marked man. as opposed to the revolution to the revolutionaries people who are cheering in the streets right now will be the first to cry tomorrow when we set the precedence that it's ok for people to go to the streets and for the military to oust an elected president what happens next so the country elects the other guy who happens to be a liberal or or a socialist or whatever and then the islamists and the supporters of morsi millions of them will

of people gathering and of course we'll be bringing you more on dates as we get it for now though belcher thanks very much for this once again these are live pictures from egypt from square . now neil clark a journalist focusing on the middle east things egypt is in danger of plunging into civil war if the president continues to turn a blind eye to overwhelming public discontent. because they aren't clear that the people had more than he's been a total disaster the power he's broken every single promise that he made when he was elected and it's time for him to go if he doesn't go i think civil war could happen because people are extremely angry and they're angry about what happened in twenty eleven because they wanted radical change in twenty seven they didn't just want to be replaced by another us western puppet i mean what's happened there hasn't been any real changes to the economy people are getting poorer unemployment is going up and up and up and people want real trying not to be content with just another us in cairo now the outrage at egypt as long as government being bad by washin

thousand injured they say their supporters were deliberately targeted with shots to the head and chest belcher has a story from cairo. it was a very bloody night here in egypt as clashes erupted in many parts of the country and continue into saturday morning off to the summation wind trying to protest both in support and against the old city to mohamed morsi what eyewitnesses are saying although we haven't completely reports that protested had attempted to extend the city and past the area that they had been staying in for the last few weeks toward security breach at this point security forces then attempted to push them back with t. a gas field hospital doctors are reporting people have died and there are a number of injured as well and what we're seeing now is apparently eyewitnesses saying that some people have been coming in with gunshot wounds although we can't confirm whether come by a voice nice as well as people having problems with take acid inhalation but it was very chaotic with the injured coming in every five minutes in ambulances and people were on the back of motorcycles bringin

so it's a very tense time sam we have to see really where the judiciary take this that was artie's belcher of reporting. now in other news if this past week you happened to be watching any mainstream media outlets it probably looked a lot like this. they are duchess of cambridge in a labor now for over fourteen hours a day over there are they going to have the baby come now. this is a big boys' choir. it was. much easier to great britain now where we are learning the official name of england's newest heir to the throne prince george alexander louis george alexander louis george. is about to go get it right three names george alexander louis and while all the pomp and circumstance surrounding the birth of the latest british royal is some of what britain does best they do some other things pretty well too like the cost of having a baby the royal birth in the fanciest maternity ward that great press great britain has to offer cost fifteen thousand dollars the average american birth is billed at about thirty thousand dollars earlier i was joined by tina cassidy author of birth the surprising h

john conyers represents detroit and corinne belcher, a political analyst. nice to see you both. >> thank you. >> the president talked about programs that have been done, that should be done to help african-american boys, and he says the system is pervasive and maybe why so many boys get caught up in the victim as perpetrators. you are introducing your end racial profiling bill. how, in your view, do you think this will help address the situation? >> well, i think we need a federal statement on this, and i'm so glad that you have brought this up and emphasized it. it's critical because it's a common factor of young african-american men growing up. and so this will help review and downplay this tactic, and we're also starting to ask for stand your ground laws which are to be revisited and hopefully repealed. >> are you feeling encouraged about those ideas, especially now that the president has commented openly, candidly, about everything from stand your ground to encouraging the justice department to look into this case further to ending racial profiling? >>

seeing at these episodes of finding it's very difficult to see what this is going to end parties belcher reporting for us there from cairo now political activist ahmed naguib who spoke to us from cairo said that morsi is now paying for the numerous promises he made during the arab spring and hasn't kept . for the people the statement is regardless of the political process it's people's will that is outs and that will be here against anyone who think they can hijack this revolution merci never consider any of his promises made even his own elections program so that people you know rooting for him is no mean don't find it because he's never been those promises that he came to any good and reelections this he came through a revolution and he did not respect that revolution the one thing that the other thing is that i would like to see very much a unified none fragmented opposition that can negotiate with a cutting government a smooth transition and at peace with one it's very imperative that the muslim brotherhood realize that. going to go anywhere and that they really need to rethink their

ben ferguson and cornell belcher. i appreciate it. >>> speaking of the president, we should tell you today he is singing the praise of his health care law. president obama using a white house speech to tout the affordable care act. here he points to a new york state report that finds insurance rates will drop next year. >> new competition, new choices, market forces are pushing costs down. just yesterday state officials in new york announced that average premiums for consumers who buy insurance in their new marketplace will be at least 50% lower next year than they are today. >> the administration faces deadlines to put the law into place as republican lawmakers continue to try to repeal it. and now to the big board we go. take a look with me. where the dow, folks, is on the verge of a new record. earlier the dow hit a new high in realtime trading. you can see it's up in the green. up 80 points. a little less than two hours to go in the trading day. we'll continue to obviously watch the markets here to see if the dow

until some today to join the interim government's reconciliation plan and stop incensing violence belcher posts now from kyra what these charges stem from is from when maman morsi was in detention in wanting a true christian during the eighteen they are pricing in two thousand and eleven he was why you see that i'm going to be a political prisoner because the mission but i would very much against mubarak he proved to me from freezing the touring he's not prison breaks and what the charges here are saying is that he collaborated with hamas to actually break out the prison to kill police officers and also you saw him just keeping possibly kidnapping offices as well as possibly running down prisons and these are very heavy charges and can see him face a considerable so you find many people here saying some people here are saying this could be a political action from the military to basically ensure the mohamed morsi never comes back into office who is going to happen however isn't this kind of accusation levelled against owsley to do nothing to stop the attempts i'm missing here and we're re

and the democratic pollster, cornell belcher. guys, thanks very much for coming in. the aftermath of this verdict? >> i think it's what i expected. i didn't expect the president to weigh in. and wolf, i'm not a big fan of white houses, regardless of administration, weighing in, even on issues like this. there's a department of justice. they report to the president. i think it's appropriate. i think his statement was appropriate, to put out. and maybe just to avoid more of the political fighting that goes on and what happened after he made his initial statement in 2012. >> a lot of people, as you well know, cornell, think as our first african-american president, he has a special responsibility to speak out on a sensitive issue like this. >> well, it's tough, wolf. i can be, first and foremost, a black man. he cannot be first and foremost a black man. he must first and foremost be the president of the united states. which means when you have a case that the justice department is looking into, he as the chief executive, he can't get personally involved in that. it would

. >> let's talk about it with our cnn political analyst, democratic poster cornell belcher and david with us as well. cornell, what did you think of that reaction? >> we're getting ready for 2016 already, wolf, really? i think what he said clearly he's talking to his partisan base, is this someone who has bigger political ambitions than the u.s. senate. and from a political standpoint, pure politics, it makes sense for him to be out in front on this. i think it is problematic from a pass and smell test. it doesn't seem quite right from to attack the president after the president made a speech that a lot of people talked about was a healing, a speech for him to play partisan politics already. >> david webb. >> on many things i agree with senator cruz, on this one he's gone way ahead of this. this hasn't gotten to that level. we saw that happen after newtown where there was an attempt to deal -- to attack the second amendment rights of americans. right now we have other issues on the table, which is to refute the conflating of, say, of voting rights act decision with the supreme court

i want to bring in cornell belcher, a regular on cnn. cornell, you've been listening.hat do you make of this conversation? >> a couple of things. when you look at all this, this burden, we can quantify the burden that minorities have to carry. should we ask for a political redress to this? if we understand that bias is manifesting itself and african-americans are being arrested more, spending more time in jail, african-americans being -- having to pay higher mortgages, if there is what my parents always called the black tax, shouldn't we be asking our legislators to redress this? because right now, there is no redress for it. we can spend more on mortgages, we can be red lined, be pulled over more, we can get more tickets. and this has not only a burden on your soul, but has a financial -- >> what would the redress look like? what are you talking about? >> wouldn't a redress look like not attacking affirmative action? if you look at what's startling to me, almost everything that we've worked very hard for and our grandparents marched for, even from the civil rights leg

outfront tonight, cornell belcher, our legal analyst paul callan and michael medved.h us. cornell, you just heard attorney general eric holder personalize this story with that story about his son. makes it something that we can all connect to and understand hopefully a little bit. is this a case where the attorney general should transfer that personal story into a charge? >> well, i think it's tough. i mean i think the attorney general and the president to a certain extent are in tough places. i think it is important that for the first time i think where i can imagine -- can remember that the attorney general talking about the law in a very sort of personal way. but i think it's tough to transfer that to we should now sort of prosecute or we should bring a case. i mean he's still got to go through the investigation, which they apparently do, but i know there's a lot of pressure on the white house and a lot of pressure on the attorney general to bring a case because people are hurting and they want an avenue for their hurt. but i've got a feeling that in the end they'r

. >> reporter: cnn political an analyst cornell belcher met with him just before his appearance on thedebate over stand your ground laws but on a personal level for the martin family. it's a time to let the public know who their son was. >> they also wanted to find their son. one of the things that's been problematic from the case is the defense defines george zimmerman in a way that was helpful to his defense, but i don't think they feel as though their son has been well defined and sort of who he was. >> reporter: the back and forth over the martin case went to new heights after president obama himself weighed in with a deeply personal speech. >> when trayvon martin was first shot, i said that this could have been my son. another way of saying that is trayvon martin could have been me 35 years ago. >> all eyes are on the attorney general eric holder. the obama constituency wants to know whether they'll take any further steps in the case. >> by allowing and perhaps encouraging violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety. the list of results tragedies is
