knows. areas in louisiana prepare this morning for a state of emergency. we are going to see additional storm surge this week more than what is being projected right now. plus, it is the biggest case in more than a decade and tomorrow could be decision day. liberty, yes. socialism, no. will obama care still stand 24 hours from now? i i actually am confident that the supreme court will uphold the law. if i am elected president, i will repeal obama care. and just one hour from now, egypt declares a brand new president, but not everyone is president, but not everyone is in the mood to celebrate. captions by vitac www.vitac.com good morning, everyone, i m randi kaye. it is 8:00 on the east coast and 5:00 a.m. out west, and thank you for waking up with us. we begin in egypt where in an hour they expect to announce a new president. it is a weekf controversy where both sides have claimed victory and both sides claiming that the other have cheated while regular eg
and thank you both, and i don t know what question to ask other than how d you think this is going to come out? ben, let s start with you. tionhat the egyptians havehe been fixated on for qui some time. the results were supposed to be announced thursday, but that announcement was postponed because the electoral commission wanted the look into more than 400 irregularitieirregularities a critical turning point for the egyptians following the revolution. it is not necessarily the choice they wanted. they have a choice between ahd shafik or mohamed morsi, the candidate from the muslim brotherhood, and the people who pulled off this election didn t want either to do with the trends. and christian well, go ahead, candy. go ahead. well, i wanted to ask you, because the military has been in charge, and i wonder on the streets how much trust there is in the military when this announcement is made as to who won this election, won t we have one side not believing what the result
york. apparently the official government newspaper is saying his opponent, shafiq will be declared the winner tomorrow by the army. that s just a newspaper but it s a pretty official voice for the egyptian government. that could set off a true confrontation here. megyn: now they are fighting the muslim brother hood and the guys who support the guy molsi in tahrir square. and the choice facing egyptians in many folks view is the choice between a military dictatorship, all in exchange for a dictatorship they had under hosni mubarak. how much progress have we made? or the two sides can cut a deal and share power and have a joint dictatorship. i think what you see going on now is a form of bargaining. the military, as you said a moment ago, got a court ruling, in effect, desolving the parliament. they are now going to decide who won the election.
