where we're looking forward to your energy john thomas reporting live from mission control. thank you are political powers in egypt have refused to take part in friday's scheduled demonstration against the military rulers called by the country's most parties the religious groups are accused of using the protests as a p.r. tool and monopolizing power as sarah firth reports the ongoing political wrangling is pushing democracy in egypt to the sidelines. protests nation after the revolution toppled president mubarak egyptians have continued to use people power as a way to force change the sights the sounds of protestors on cairo's tahrir square have become a familiar one more than a gift since president without state from power with presidential elections just around the corner and the activities here have once again taken center stage but if the last years taught us anything is that revolution alone does not a democracy make is why the upcoming elections appraising so important. as a discussion group focused on a paced arab spring egypt we met a former members mubarak's regime

chief economist with john thomas financial. michael, let me ask you. i say there's no collapse going off a cliff, not even a stock market plunge. you tell me, you're the expert. >> i don't see how anyone could call this a collapse. i mean, less than a 1% decline in the dow. look, it's the same as what we've seen for the last three years. the economy's growing, it's not growing very rapidly, there's still a big output gap. it's too large to really generate a lot of job growth. but job growth is positive, the stock market has been reacting to basically positive conditions for equities. we have low interest rates, we have low inflation. and we have low labor costs. so i think it's a lot of the same. look, the correction today i think was long overdue. we saw some of the data diverge from the expectations. >> four days. this is the fourth day. means it started before the jobs report. i don't know. all right. let me ask dave malpass. these job reports, there was good news in it, bad news in it. i know the economy's not fabulous, i'm not making that point. i

john adams, the second, thomas jefferson, the third. but where his picture should be hung as the fourth president, madison hangs the picture of the fifth president, james monroe. and visitors note that. why doesn't he put his own portrait here? and then as they look around the room, they discover that madison has hung his own portrait as one visitor said, in the corner behind the door showing his modesty, but he has also hung his portrait next to his beloved dolley. so, again, he is telling you an awful lot about himself, the importance of dolley in his life. over this thomas jefferson, his best friend, and next to it a picture of mary magdalen. i thought he long hung it next to jefferson to poke a little fun at his friend. you also see other features that impress visitors. the bust, these are notable people of american history from george washington to the marquis d 'lafayette. they served tea here. they welcomed their guests. they had many visitors. while every visitor had access to this room and would be welcomed by madison or dolley

of the cases that were of what of the cases wow i think i mean i'm most familiar with thomas drake and with john kiriakou and i find both have been to have been brought in bad faith and overzealous use and very flimsy cases. in which multiple i mean upwards of between five and ten plea bargain offers you know were made early on in the case. which showed how weak the case turned out to be. traits was especially egregious because it turned out that nothing that the government claimed had been classified was indeed classified in fact it ticked off the former classifications are under george w. bush so much that he sued his former agency to make them in force. then misclassification over the punishment for misclassifying stuff because the b. agree just way that information having classified in the common street case and lastly doesn't we don't have too much time left but you know we're seeing all these all these cases against whistleblowers so where do you think this is heading in the future of whistle blowing in america. i think people are going to keep doing it i hope because they have a conscienc

and washington's goal, and the goal of john adams and thomas jefferson and james madison, the first four presidents, is to stay out of it. we finally do get in it when madison is president. he asked congress to declare war on britain. that's the word of 1812. but up to that point, all of those men for all their disagreements and all the different ways they approached it, they're trying to keep the united states out of this superpower battle to the death. now, washington in the farewell address common he is addressing primarily the republican party of thomas jefferson and james madison, who are very pro-french. and they are pro-french because they are in love with the french revolution and there's also gratitude to france for having helped us during our revolution. their help was essential to us. so the argument was now france is at war. france is in its time of trial. they're having their own revolution, just like ours, surely we should look favorably on them. and washington is trying to say no, there should not be permanent friendships or permanent antipathies. and as i think, this woul
