and professor of sociology at georgetown university. karen desoto, criminal defense attorney. and karen cadet, "huffington post black voices." that account george zimmerman gives in that taped interview differs from other testimony we heard. maybe he jumped -- but it's like you followed him, you followed him. you precipitated this whole thing. if it ends up being the case you precipitated him and trapped him for no reason other than he was a suspect in your mind, then it went down the way you said, and this dude beat the crap out of you because you were following him, then you get to shoot him and what? >> you're making the point because this is the frailty of the -- or i think the inherent injustice of the stand your ground law. who can stand their ground? you jump on me, you ambush me, you have a set of stereotypes in your mind and i cream you. i'm getting the best of you. oh, you're going to beat me? >> the standard here isn't even stand your ground. this is just self-defense. right? >> i mean, obviously this was a tragic accident, but i think that trayvon martin's parents

this and the reaction, the head of the naacp he is in orlando this morning and michael from georgetown university he is in philadelphia this morning. first, obviously, you are not happy about what happened in the courtroom. but what happens next? what do you do now? >> now we focus on ensuring that our justice system continues its course. there may be a civil action brought by the family but there should definitely be criminal charges brought by d.o.j. we have asked d.o.j. to continue their investigation they have are indeed continuing. we hope that once everything has happened that can happen here in florida the d.o.j. waits until the end that d.o.j. will hold mr. zimmerman accountable. for what he has done. >> schieffer: in other words, would you file -- ask him to file some sort of federal lawsuit that is civil rights were violated? >> no. federal criminal charges, the matthew shepard, james bird hate crime bill. reality they have to show that race was a factor in his decision making. there seems to be plenty of evidence that suggests that may race may have been a factor he called 911 a lot ab

joining me now is a professor at georgetown university. welcome to the show.at having here. just how popular are the certificate programs, and why are they becoming such a big thing? >> well, they are very flexible. muchmore prevalent than people realize. 18% have a certificate and they actually can be mbined with a higher education degree. you can get a two-year degree and even if people get a ba aba and then get a certificate. these are occupationally oriented programs that are really part of the specific job. gerri: one of the things that they don't see from the outset of this to it is finishing the program and getting placed in an appropriate job. these programs tend to be specifically focused and we really don't get a lot of general skills. if you don't use those skills, just a little bit more than half get placed well. so if you don't do that, you don't get that much from this kind of traing. >> b1 are the institutions addressing those concerns? >> they are trying. things change. i mean, you know, we think they can do a better job of it. that they need t

assistant professor of government at georgetown university here in doha said the army has been able to prevent serious conflict between supporters and opponents of mohamed morsi. isin the future, if there another election down the road, how will the muslim brotherhood fair. they are still very well organized, and vice versa, opposition is not. it is very fragmented. it might be the case that in a future election, the muslim brotherhood and islamist forces may still gain 30% or 40%. when i saw these demonstrations yesterday, the two camps, it reminded me of lebanon, which in 2005 we have a showdown between march 8 and the march 14 groups, sunni christian alliance against the shiite syrian alliance, if you will. that divide was there. all of these countries, i think, i going to a similar phenomenon. now egypt, two. we never thought civil war was a possibility in the egypt. it does have the starkly divided camps, and the fear was of course yesterday of civil war was -- but that was avoided, due to the army. the army has to play a balancing role, as it has in lebanon. the army in lebanon i

a real gain for georgetown university. we are pleased the president has nominated what we believe, what i believe to be a qualified candidate to lead the census bureau for lease the next over years and maybe even beyond that. i intend to work with dr. coburn, my colleagues on this committee to complete our review and hopefully report this nomination drafted by the full senate as quickly as we can. the nomination of john thompson comes at a unique time during this cycle. while most people only pay attention to the census bureau and the year or two link up to the census, it is these interim years in the middle of the decade when some the critical research, some of the critical testing and planning phases are completed and the groundwork is made for the actual count. last decade were many problems as we will recall leading up to the 2010 decennial census. the roots of these problems were multifold included planning and cost estimation. i would add to that the inability to use technology in ways that were cost effective. most

georgetown university. what prevents us from using ethanol as a fuel source for cars? it seems like a no-brainer. >> i think it is, methanol is one disadvantage compared to gasoline is that has less energy density. you get only about 60% of the miles per gallon from methanol that you get from gasoline. but you get much better miles per dollar. isis cheap enough and it pretty simple alcohol. it is clean, in an accident, it would burn more slowly than gasoline does. it has been used in the indianapolis 500 for years. the drivers see it as a safety issue. they can be made from wood chips. it has high octane. it was called wood alcohol for centuries. it can be made from coal or natural gas. substantial deposits all over the u.s. i imagine it would mainly he made from natural gas here. the changes to the car is about $90 per car in the manufacturing process if you take a relatively new model car that is probably in the range of $200 to $300. in any case, it is much cheaper than modifying the car to drive on natural gas. although you can get that done in some countries for a

a new study by georgetown university center foray plied research finds that presidential statements referencingnomic, johnson, on the war on poverty mentioned the poor 84% of the time. jfk, jimmy carter, almost three-quarters of the time. most modern presidents discuss it two-thirds of the time. george herbert walker bush did so half the day, dead last in the study comes barack obama who references the poor only 26% of the time. a speech writer for george w. bush. >> i don't think he dismisses concerns of the poor, i just don't think he thinks it is a priority to address them. the problem that president obama has may not just be a matter of rhetoric, may be a matter of policy. he doesn't have a program for the poor. >> reporter: the white house says the stimulus lifted 7 million out of poverty and eased conditions for 32 million others, and argue president obama's focus on the middle class, which georgetown finds him mentioning more frequently than all modern presidents is having the effect of reducing the underclass. >> i don't believe in trickle down in terms of lower taxes for the rich and t

. >> bill: again, dyson teaches young americans at georgetown university.esterday's -- today's, i should say, today's congressional hearing was a circus. nancy pelosi the ring master. didn't mean anything, but it did prop up the race hustlers. and that's a shame. and that's the memo. now, for the top story tonight, let's bring in fox news channel's chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel who covered the hearing today on capitol hill. what was the headline for you? >> bill, the headline for me was house democrats african-american community we hear your concerns and we agree with you. i was struck by being in the room by the lack of texas in the room if you will because obviously these are difficult issues that we were talking about. everybody in the room essentially had the same perspective. had you a house democratic who is who. members of the congressional black caucus and three panelists all ideologically the same as the members of congress they were talking to and so, had you kind of an echo chamber effect and before the house goes out for five we

that's where you can also find a link to get a buddy check 9 health tool kit from our partner georgetown university hospital. >>> a big box store is supposed to bring big business to the nation's capital says it is ready to pull the plug on half of that project tonight. wal-mart was due to build six stores in d.c. but today it wrote an editorial in "the washington post" saying it will cancel three of those stores if the city council passes a bill requiring large retailers to pay workers more than $5 an hour above minimum wage. two of the stores that wal-mart would cancel are in ward 7 and council woman yvette alexander says she is, quote, passed off. >> they're -- pissed off. >> they're coming to a council member who did not support the legislation, i don't think they're bluffing me. i think they're serious about it. and they're business people. i mean, they don't have to come here if they don't choose to. they didn't ask the district for anything so they can pull out. >> wal-mart says it worked with the city to bring jobs and affordable shopping to six neighborhoods, but community leaders say the

with me now for reaction is chris metzler, an associate dean of georgetown, university. and senior fellow at demos which is a center left think tank. let's go to center left on this first, richard. i have got to say of all the things that "time" magazine and i didn't even know it was still publishing so i'm very happy to hear that. what time magazine has said in the past, this is one of the ones that takes the cake. isn't that the police's responsibility to make sure the community is safe? black? white? latino, businesses are already secure? what's wrong with this? >> i read that piece, laura and frankly was quite patronizing. it's is that same mentality that views black people and black men specifically as a menace that got us in this situation in the first place. trayvon martin is a menace. part of the undertone of this and the media. and in this trial he he had it coming to him. so the patronizing tone of it is watch out, everybody, you better behave yourself. it was completely patronizing. and i think that's what people are responding against. >> laura: well, chris,

let's bring in msnbc contributor and georgetown university professor is george eric dyson who joins us here in new york. what would you hope the attorney general will say today following that trial and the fact that he's addressing the naacp? >> you know is, attorney general holder has been traditionally very strong on the siebel rights issues. compare his record to that of his predecessor in the previous administration. it's a remarkable jux tal position. what i want to hear him say is that look is, we've reopened this investigation. we're going to take a hard look at the facts. we have to meet a certain burden of proof here, a certain high bar. that can be met. i think there is sample evidence to suggest the biased mind-set and prejudiced outlook of zimmerman and i think there is sufficient evidence to at least put the department of justice on the scene there and gather what evidence we can because we will obviously know that there was not collection of data and evidence at the scene because trayvon martin was not even seen as the victim. as a result, we didn't test george zimmerman,

georgetown university professor and msnbc political analyst michael eric dyson. the conversation about race in this country, if it happens is a fraught one. i guess i wonder in the wake of the ruling of the george zimmerman trial how much you think this truly engenders a national conversation about skin color. >> it is really important that it has started a national conversation. i'd say the question is whether it is a good one. and if you think about what attorney mark o'mara said, which was probably one of the most jarring and incorrect things i've ever heard in terms of what the facts and. statistics tell us with, is that if george zimmerman was black, he would have never been prosecuted. all of the numbers tell us the exact opposite is true, even if you look at stand your ground laws. so look at stand your ground laws. if you are white and have killed someone black, 35% chance that it is justifiable homicide. if you are black and shoot someone, 3% justifiable homicide. so i'm sorry, that's not an accurate, fair or honest conversation about race. >> michael, t

louis eric dyson, professor at georgetown university, both msnbc political analysts.defunding is obama care, government shutdowns. why do boehner and the gop keep, repeat, keep, repeat, keep going back to the same failed playbook? >> i feel like we should be playing i got you, babe, over and over. >> we should. >> and over again. where is bill murray when we need him? i think, i should say i have yet to congratulate anyone with a british accent on the new baby. so congratulations. i do think this child will see the throne long before the republicans stop acting nutty. i mean, they're going to do this all over again, play chicken again. be irresponsible again. i mean, i guess they're trying to get the congressional approval ratings into negative numbers because they're only a few digits from that. they seem to be boasting these days, as well that the key to being a republican is hating on washington and convincing people that washington doesn't work and we've talked about this in the past. that's because they are like the joker. chaos is their friend. they're against u

there are reports from georgetown university there is a 5 million projected gap between jobs available and skills available to fill them. as we increase borrowing, that i think will cut down on opportunities for a lot of people. can you comment on the potential crisis in student debt, its macroeconomic effects and whether we do not provide support that this could be the next big problem that we face? >> this should acknowledge the ability to build your own human capital to grow your education should be a good thing. there was time when a student was unable to finance education. the fact we can do that is good for the economy as well as for individuals. the amount of debt is large.it is over $1 trillion at this point. i think it is not particularly likely to cause any sort of sharp instability. it has a couple of consequences. to the extent there are people who have taken out a lot of debt and they are not finding opportunities, over time they will not be able to buy a home and do other things they would otherwise be able to because they are paying off the debt. the answer is to have a

kids were taking a summer class at georgetown university yesterday. they asked me about this. they said what do you do to try to make this better? i said you teach people that not everybody, just because they're different than you is a problem. say hello to people when you walk down the street. go for it and you will achieve it. >> absolutely. great discussion, guys. thank you so much. >> thanks, alex. >> all of you please share your thoughts on the president's comments on race. talk to me on twitter. my handle is @alexwitt. we will read your tweets throughout the show. >>> what happened to send one of america's biggest cities into bankruptcy and what's next for the motor city? can it be saved? wait a sec! i found our colors. we've made a decision. great, let's go get you set up... you need brushes... you should check out our workshops... push your color boundaries while staying well within your budget walls. i want to paint something else. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. glidden premium interior paint, starts at a new lower price at $18.94 a gallo
