Keeping kids safe. Sheltering students in oklahoma could cost 1 billion. But theres a group thats decided to help raise some money. Meet the man behind todays big idea. Well get to all those stories in just a moment. But we start in egypt, where just moments ago u. S. Officials confirm the Obama Administration is considering canceling the delivery of apache helicopters to egypt this fall. They war part of a 2009 sale to help the countrys military protect its borders. Meanwhile, protesters are back on the streets after another day of deadly clashes. Security forces and Armored Vehicles have lined up to guard egypts supreme constitutional court, along with entrances to Cairos Tahrir square. Theyre back open to traffic with a heavy military presence as the work week begins there. The News Conference this morning, egypts foreign minister vowed to continue working toward a political solution. He also suggested that they plan to review the benefits of foreign aid from the United States and other countries. And clashes, clashes came to a head yesterday, as police stormed a mosque in cairo, where protesters had been holed up since friday. Ethe Egyptian Government says now 79 people were killed. Aman mohadin are in cairo. Were hearing Security Forces have now started raids the homes of Muslim Brotherhood members. What more can you tell us about that . Reporter thats right. In fact, the Security Forces here have been really stepping up their campaign against the Muslim Brotherhood ever since they launched that assault on two major protests on wednesday. In the eyes of the Egyptian Government, theyre the only ones to blame. The Muslim Brotherhood they have inferred through statecontrolled media, that they are a terrorist organization. So they have on one hand demonized them through a lot of the governmentopened media channels, but at the same time, today for the first time, the commander of the armed forces who led the removal of mohamed morsi, actually implied there was political space in the country for the Muslim Brotherhood. But they had to make a choice to renounce violence. But right now on the streets thats a very different story. As you mentioned, Security Forces have rounded up some of the organizations most top senior leaders, at the same time they have killed some of their members. And there are still a lot more that are on the run, that Security Forces here want. Not to mention that the countrys former president is still in detention, and is being investigated by the countrys prosecutor general. So a lot of mixed signals coming out of the Egyptian Government about the future of the Muslim Brotherhood. Keep in mind, yesterday the egyptian cabinet said it was discussing legal ways to possibly disband and ban for life the Muslim Brotherhood. While all of this is happening, of course, word this morning, that you guys, the foreign press, is now under tighter scrutiny as well. Whats that about . Reporter the Egyptian Government has really gone on the pr offensive here in the last 24 hours. A series of press conferences from the president ial palace to the foreign minister, minister of information, and the armed forces, all of them really essentially cast gating western media, saying the western media was not portraying this conflict as it should be. This is not a political dispute, this is a war on terrorism, and they want the western media, and really global media to reflect that. The local media has really bought into the government line. If you watch most of the private egyptian channels, egyptian newspapers, they portray the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. They simply see the military and interim government as doing no wrong. When theres any krit tism from particularly international media, that seems to draw the irate reaction of the government. The foreign minister this afternoon held a press conference that bizarrely lasted for several hours. And also handed out to journalists packets on how they should be covering this conflict. Slightly a bizarre press conference, but one that has drawn criticism there media itself. Gave you press kits, okay. Ayman, be safe, my friend. Lets get to peter suitorman, Senior Editor of reason magazine, and Political Editor for the grio. Pete, let me start with you, sir. President obama, of course, he condemned the Government Action in egypt from Marthas Vineyard last week. And we wont be joining in military exercises with egypt. But what real power, peter, does president obama have to change whats happening on the ground in egypt . President obama does not have real direct power to change whats happening on the ground in egypt, but what he does have the power to do is decide how were going to react, what the american response is going to be. And right now america gives about 1. 5 billion a year in aid to cairo, 1. 3 billion of that is military aid. And thats the kind of thing that obama could be seriously rethinking, and saying, you know, what are we getting for that money, is it in our interests, in the interests of the egyptian people. Christine, the president s hands, are they tied . Or are they not . Are there options that are available to the president that we have not been talking about over the past few days . Craig, egypt is a very important ally to the United States, which is why the president is hesitating in cutting off further economic aid. Most of the military aid for this fiscal year has already been given to egypt. There are four f16s that havent been delivered, maybe some helicopters. But egypt is a strong strategic partner. We have flyovers over egypt that maintains stability in the region. The suez canal is important to egypt. But coming after the our experience in russia, with snowden, and putin thumbing their nose at the United States, i think there are some people concerned that we spent weeks trying to negotiate a deal with egypt and prevent this bloodshed, and we werent able to do so. And some of them are pressuring the president to consider future aid and set down groundwork for delivering that aid in the future. Lets talk domestic politics now. Specifically, new york city stop and frisk program. The city, of course, has appealed the federal judges ruling, saying stop and frisk is unconstitutional. Ray kelly was on meet the press this morning, strongly defending the controversial policy. Lets listen to what he said and talk about it on the other side. Here it is. If a program like stop and frisk is abandoned, will people die . Well, i think no question about it, Violent Crime will go up. Again, this is not a program. This is something thats integral to policing. This happens throughout america. And any police jurisdiction. You have to do it. Officers have to have the right of inquiry, if they see some suspicious behavior. Is there some happy medium, perry, between what the city wants to do and what minority communities and civil libertarians feel infringes on their rights . Yeah, a political problem here is, ray kelly, blik al bloomberg, very unpopular with a lot of the minority leaders in new york city. I dont think any solution they brought to the table would be viewed as a compromise. I think some of the mayoral candidates talking about replacing him, ultimately, i think any policy where the minority leaders like, 80 of people currently targeted by this program are minorities. As long as the nush is going to be that high, youre always going to have a political problem there. And people concerned by it. Until whatever compromise has the Minority Community not feeling like theyre targeted. Christine, one solution suggested by the judge when she overturned stop and frisk, is for Police Officers to wear this sort of body camera, so to speak that would record any interaction between police and some of the people that they are stopping and frisking. Is that something that would help soothe the concerns that many folks have about this particular program . You know, i noticed, craig, that this morning ray kelly said that that would be a detriment and police wouldnt be able to do that. But i think thats a weak excuse, because Police Officers carry cameras when they do basic traffic stops in many states across the country and they turn them on when they engage someone. Importantly as well, her decision says, its unconstitutional as it is now. Shes not saying you cant have stop and frisk, but when you have an instance here where you have 90 of the stops that do not result in an arrest or a warrant, you have many Police Officers, in facts, the most common excuse they give for stopping someone, is someone had furtive activity. They were changing the direction they were moving. Or they had their hand in their pocket. 50 of the people are frisked and only 1. 5 of those cases is a gun or weapon found. Clearly this program has gone broad and been implemented broader than it needs to be to protect ourselves. Another thing bloomberg did on friday, announced on friday, added new fuel to the fire. He was asked about crime and security, specifically in new york citys Public Housing projects. This is what the mayor said about that. Take a listen. The people that live there, most of them, want more police protection. They want more police. If you have strangers walking in the halls of your apartment building, dont you want somebody to stop and say, who are you, why are you here . Mayor bloomberg proposing finger printing, more than 620,000 people. Peter, is mayor bloomberg, is he disconnected, or indifferent . Well, i think i mean, maybe hes both. With mayor bloomberg, you know, he really seems to think that the best solution to any problem is that new york government and for him to come in and order some sort of incredibly invasive action. And whether thats the fingerprintinghe said people want more policing in unsafe environments. Thats probably true. But they dont look for things, theyre not looking for invasive policing. Theyre looking for the kind of policing that works. Hot spot policing, things like that. The kind of policing where the policemen are neighbors, you know, part of the neighborhood, part of the community. Thats not what hes saying here. What hes proposing is in fact incredibly invase itch. And something that people are going to react negatively to. You said already minorities have a negative opinion of mayor bloomberg. This is one of the reasons why. I guess also when youre not running for reelection, it makes it easy, too. Brain trust is going to come back a little bit later in the hour.

Attorney general eric holders plan to no longer pursue mandatory minimum sentences for some nonviolent offenses could ease the overcrowded prison systems. With this countrys public prison spilling over, weve seen a rise of a new industry. In our special report presumed guilty, examining just how big the business of privately run prisons has become. Too Many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no truly good Law Enforcement reason. Attorney general eric holder took a rare step to curb the war on drugs in his speech to the american bar association, launching a policy to seek less federal jail time for certain nonviolent offenses. Over the past 30 years, mandatory minimums have driven up the prison population by 700 . The attorney general says it disproportionately impacts the poor. They increasingly turn to corporations to pick up the slack. An advocate for criminal Justice Reform has visited hundreds of prisons. The war on drugs is not a war on drugs, as a war against blacks in america. In the past 20 years, youve allowed that war to be profited by private prisons. Forprofit prisons began winning contracts to run entire jail facilities in the 1980s, when the inmate population was spiking. From 1990 to 2009, the private prison industry ballooned by 1,600 according to the aclu. They are now making contracts with states, saying guaranteed, that our prison will be filled. Guaranteed that well make a profit. And how do you guarantee that . You create drug laws. The Companies Running these prisons say they meet a public need filling policies. Both parties have looked to private prisons to address overcrowding. Take cca, founded in 1983, and now the largest private prison group in the country with 80,000 inmates in 16 states. The company says it provides a cost savings of business, to the oversight of government. Ccs spent almost 15 million lobbying in 32 states between 2003 and 2010. Yet cca officials insist they do not lobby for longer prison terms. In an s. E. C. Filing the company was required to submit in 2010, however, it conceded that its business may be hurt by policies of leniency and conviction or parole standards and sentencing practice also. And thats the point. The war on drugs has spawned a powerful Business Model that needs more crime and more jail time to survive. A system that presumes guilt as a Business Model, and recidivism as a bonus. When you get out, if youre a criminal and come back, we would love to see you again. Mark mauer is the executive director at the sentencing project, Michael Skolnick that you just saw in the report is the editor in chief at the global grind. Com. Lets look at the numbers here. Since mandatory citizen sentencing, weve seen a 700 rise in prison population, 1600 jump in the private prison population. What are the implications of prisons profiting from this socalled war on drugs . The real implication is we have the highest number of people incarcerated in the world. We have packed these prisons, hotels if you will, with black and brown men from across this country. How do we end the war on drugs and mandatory minimum sentencing . 97 , 97 of drug offenses take a plea. They take this horrible drug law, scare the living crap out of young men going before the judge and take 25 to life or 18 months. The young kid says, i can do 18 months. They go back once, they go back again and again and again. The cycle continues. You mentioned the shear number of people in prisons regardless of public or private. Of course, we know this at this point, the United States incarcerates a higher percentage of people than any other country in the free world. Roughly 1. 5 Million People in local and federal jails all over this country, the attorney general earlier this week saying he wants to change those numbers. This is part of what he said. This is why i have today mandated a modification of the justice departments charging policy so certain lowlevel, nonviolent drug offenders who have no ties to largescale organizations or cartels will no longer be charged with offenses that impose draconian mandatory prison sentences. Mark, whats the overall impact of that change . Well, what its going to do is now we now have a one size fits all mandatory sentencing policy, that congress and legislative bodies have adopted. This takes away any discretion from the judge, in looking at factors that may have contributed to the crime. And recognizing no two crimes, no two offenders are alike. I think the attorney generals move is basically a message to his prosecutors that if there are cases that dont require 5, 10, 20year prison term, you should charge them in a way that that wont be the result. I think that will help to lessen, at least some of the federal prisons, the numbers of people getting these relatively punitive sentences. Marc, how would the sentencing guidelines impact the arres arrests, especially in the Minority Community . Especially for marijuana possession. What is this change specifically going to mean for that group . Its not going to mean anything directly for them. If we really worry about mass incarceration, we have to attack it on several fronts. The attorney general has the power to deal with federal courts and whats going on there. Law enforcement, how local police make arrests, what kinds of drugs theyre going after, whether they go after kingpins or kids on the corner. All those decisions are made by police chiefs, by local mayors and the like. Thats where we need to start making some changes as well. Mike, while i have you here, i know youre sick of talking about this, but i have to ask you about your boss, and that video, that tape, harry tubman, of course. Were not going to show it here. Its all over the internet, the video that shows a depiction of Harriet Tubman having sex with her master, to allow her to run the underground railroad. Russ em simmons has since apologized. But what was he thinking . How did that happen . I think it was a horrible mistake. I think the video is incredibly offensive and horrific and insensitive. Im proud that russell saw very quickly the reaction, and acted very quickly, removing the video immediately, issuing an apology immediately. I know this man. Ive known him for ten years. I worked with him for four and a half years. And people say, he gets a paycheck from russell and will say whatever he wants him to say. I dont believe this. This man has done a tremendous amount of work for communities across this country and will continue to do the work. He is pained by what he has caused and will do anything he can to fix it. I think hes done a lot already. I go to work tomorrow morning for him, with him, to continue the work. Theres drug law reform, and private Prison Reform, and Prison Reform in general. All the good things weve done in the 4 1 2 years together, im proud of it. I stand by him. But i certainly found that video as offensive as anyone else who watched it in the past few days. Always good to see you. Thank you so much for your time. Marc mauer down in d. C. With the sentencing project. Big thanks to you as well.

She lives in moore, oklahoma. Her son, christopher, died in the may 20th, tornado, that tore through that town. 25 people died that day, including seven children at plaza towers elementary. She and her husband pulled their remaining two children and enrolled them in the only school in moore that currently has a storm shelter. A Nonprofit Group called shelter oklahoma schools, s. O. S. Theyre trying to build tornado proof shelters in every school in the state. John hunt started shelter oklahoma schools. John, good to see you. Thank you, craig. Not fair to say i did it alone, but i was certainly integral in the process. On friday, students in moore returned to a new but temporary plaza towers elementary. But this building also does not have a storm shelter. Why not . Im unable to answer that question. We are not about looking towards the past, we are about looking towards the future. So we are a private group that haes come together to try to raise as much money as possible over all of the ensuing years, and lets do everything we can to get a shelter in every school that does not have one. At the root of this, according to the principal, at plaza towers, kids dont feel safe. Im afraid that theyve lost the trust. And that theyve lost the security that we had before may 20th. How do you rebuild that trust . I dont know the answer to that. And im not a principal or superintendent. That being said, i will say, superintendent romine, the new superintendent of moore schools, has reached out to us, and been just wonderful with trying to work with us, in the future, to get make sure that he has shelters in every one of these schools that he oversees. Youve estimated that the price tag to put shelters in the more than 1,600 schools in oklahoma will probably be upwards of 1 billion. How do you pay for that . Well, again, i dont have all the answers. What i do know is its going to take a tremendous amount of money. We are not a political organization. We are a private organization that intends to work with political entities, be it the state, be it the municipality, the county, what have you. Hopefully, we can fill the gap between the funding they provide, but if theyre unwilling to provide the funding, then we need to raise a heck of a lot of money, and lets get this going.

This summer weve already seen one major metropolitan city file for bankruptcy, now another city is trying to keep its School System from going bellyup. Last week, the philadelphia School System got a 50 million emergency loan. Without the money, they wouldnt have been able to open its schools on time. The 50 million will only pay for minimal staffing, which means schools have to reduce extracurricular activities. But the money is only a slice of the 304 million deficit the district is facing. Earlier this summer, the district was forced to lay off nearly 4,000 teachers, and so far only about 1,000 have been rehired. Business study numbers for one of the nations Largest School districts that serves more than 190,000 students. Former pennsylvania governor, ed rendell, joins me live now. Governor rendell, thanks for joining us. A School System facing an estimated 304 million deficit. It has to pay roughly 280 million to service its existing debt every year, i understand. How did your city get here . Well, a number of things combined, po put it in this strait. But most of all it was significant underfunding from harrisburg. They wound up getting 600 million more annually to meet the needs of its kids, for prekindergarten, technology in the classroom, afterschool tut tutoring. Much of that money was cut. In fairness to governor corbin, when he took over we were in the worst of the part of the recession and revenues were down. Know with standing the fact revenues were down, they gave a significant cut to businesses and business taxes, and they refused to tax the shale industry. Pennsylvania remains the only major state in the union that has shale that doesnt enact a severance tax. Those two things would produce another 400 million to 500 million much that could go to schools. These are not just in philadelphia, in all the 500 districts throughout the state. I was reading about philadelphia specifically, and found it interesting that philadelphia also does not have a board of education. Walk us through how Financial Decisions are made for the School District in philadelphia. Well, for the last 10 or 11 years, the districts been run by the School Reform commission. The mayor appoints team members and the governor appoints three. Its not a school board. Previous to that the mayor appointed the school board. During my eight years as governor, 40,000 more children made proficiency in reading and math. Thats a pretty good record. They didnt cure all the problems of the district, everybody not. But thats how its governed right now. And one of the biggest problems also is that the union and the union is headed by a terrific guy by the name of jerry jordan the union has here t for not been able to cooperate with some of the work rules saving the district significant money without hurting the teachers by and large. The unions going to have to show flexibility if were ever going to convince harrisburg to step up and fund the schools again. The district is now asking for about 120 million more from the state. Governor corbett said he will not release that funding until the schools in philadelphia meet certain criteria. Governor, how is this going to play out . First of all, understand the 120 is not from the state itself. Its from the federal government, a supplement of a prior claim that the city had with the federal government. And allowing the city to extend the increase in the sales tax and apply that to education. In this big fight, harrisburg only came up with 15 million out of the 304 million that the city needed to raise. So harris puburgs got to do mo. The union is going to have to show flexibility if that happens, and the mayor and city council have got to get together to find a way to allocate that sales tax basically to education. I dont know about the union, im hopeful, as i said, jerry jordan will see the light and make some of the necessary concessions. Nobody likes to make concessions, craig, but this is a time when the school kids have to come first ahead of everything. Governor ed rendell, thank you very much for stopping by to shed light on whats happening with the schools in philadelphia. Thank you. Regulating the business of pot.

Washington state and colorado legalized Recreational Marijuana use in their states last year. But putting the laws into practice has been anything but smooth sailing. With pot still illegal on a federal level, there are a number of hurdles, including how to regulate the marketplace. Cnbcs jane wells with more on the challenges ahead. Craig, welcome to the mile high city. This is legal medical cannabis. You still cant grow or sell recreational pot yet, but its coming. In the meantime, no matter how you get your pot, if you got em, you can smoke em. Either here in colorado or in Washington State where these pictures were shot. If youre at least 21 years old, only have an ounce but you cant resell it. Theres quite a few differences between the two laws. But it turns out nothing has been easy in enacting these new regulations. Labeling, tracking, all of that has turned out to be a little more difficult. For example, in washington, theyre deciding theyre going to cap production so that too much pot isnt grown and it ends up being exported out of state which would really anger the feds. We have to determine what the production level needs to be in the state to meet the needs of those over 21. And from there, we have to create a model for how many producers do you need, how many processors and retailers to meet that production limit. Typically you dont have to limit that marketplace to start it, which is what were being asked to do here. Our most popular days. I wonder why. The joint, medical pot dispensary in seattle, the big concern is whether these businesses can be operated through Bank Accounts and not be all cash. One bank account has already been shut down. If they want to make all this tax money here in washington and colorado, theyve got to give us some banking. Colorado got a jump in establishing in a system to track pot. Other areas of the new law, there are still kinks that need to be worked out. The most discouraging thing about the new law is that we still dont know a couple of the things having to do with packaging. Its very hard to get ready for adult use, which is merely five months away, without having all the data points of whats expected. Everyone seems to think its all going to work out, and theyre actually going to be selling this stuff at a retail level in washington and colorado sometime next year. But there is one problem, this remains completely illegal on a federal level. Washington, d. C. , has not told either state what, if anything, it plans to do. Craig . All right.

I think the report in the Washington Post showing that there were more than 2700 incidents in which the nsa broke and violated is going to get more press. Democrats are already reacting negatively to it. Weve seen Patrick Leahy on the Senate Judiciary saying that hes going to hold hearings. Even nancy pelosi who has been supportive of the president here says shes quite troubled and regular critics like senator ron wyden have released a letter saying this is the only the tip of the iceberg. Theres still a lot we dont know. Harry, what are you hearing down there . Is this something that has already got the far left up in arms or much to do about nothing . They voted to defund this program a month ago. I think youre going to have real issues when the Congress Gets back. Theres been a lot of pushback. You can see the people that supported the president , kind of pulling back. This is going to be a big issue. If you youre looking for the obama scandal, as the republicans are, this is going to be a big issue. Nsa . Nsa. Christine, whats your headline . I actually picked the same one that he did. So im going to change mine. Im going to say that the rnc first of all, youre new to this one, christine, so well let you pass this one. Wed like for our headlines to be shorter and more clever than that. Okay. Ill work on that for next week. Thanks. Heres my bulletproof vest. I need the vest. It sounds like you think the nsa scandal is not going to be something that we stop talking about a week from now or two weeks from now, which is typically the case with the washington scandals. Snowden had given information to the Washington Post that came out last week. Who knows what he has planned for the coming weeks between now and whenever he gets back. Second, i think congress, when they get back, if they dont deal with this and nip in the bud, theyve got to deal with it in Early September because they have the budget and everything else. Its going to keep mushrooming and expanding and then the president and the hill are going to have to deal with this for months and months and months. Peter, there was something said here on the broadcast yesterday which really stayed with me. We were talking about stop and frisk and he said, forget stop and frisk for a moment. What we have seen over the past 12 months has essentially been an attack on the Fourth Amendment in this country. Time and time again, i would imagine, peter, that would be an assessment that you would agree with. No . Certainly. And i think the reason were going to see a lot of talk about these new revelations is that they go to the heart of obamas defense of the nsa program which he said theres been no specific accusations of abuse and the oversight is very good but in fact what weve seen here is there are thousands of abuses and instances in which they violated their guidelines and the oversight is not very good because the judges who are doing the oversight just have to rely on what the government gives them. We have not heard from the white house on the latest revelations regarding the nsa. The president , of course, on Marthas Vineyard, has not responded to that. It will be interesting to see how he squares that response from the white house a week prior to the nsa revelations. Hes going to update those comments because the Washington Post, if you read it carefully, informed Dianne Feinstein that the rules were not going to follow and youve been saying up until now, this is going to be an issue that we keep talking about. I said still marching for the marches going on this week but the march is formally called the march for jobs and freedom. I think you should hear more talk about that, the problem with the Racial Justice in the country but with jobs in the country. Black unemployment is still double what white unemployment is. The wealth gap continues to grow and i think youll hear more from the president and also the people at the marches talking about it as well as Voting Rights and traditional civil rights issues. 1953 we saw a quarter of a Million People down there in d. C. Is there any idea how large the crowd is going to be this week . I would assume tens and thousands. I wouldnt expect anything like a few years ago. We, of course, are planning a great deal of special coverage next week in honor of the 50th anniversary of the march on washington.
