Inside usa today here is what the white house spokesman had to say yesterday about the situation in egypt. Many of the papers noting this morning that the spokesman was very careful not to use the word coup. Take a look. But they began by saying that the United States remains deeply concerned by the violence across egypt and the dangerous level of political polarization. We strongly condemn any violence and any incitement to violence. We express condolences to those that ive been killed and their families and hope that those are wounded or have been wounded recovered recover quickly. We call on the military to use maximum restraint. Also condemn the explicit calls to violence made by the Muslim Brotherhood. During this transition time egypts stability and Democratic Political order are at stake. Egypt will not be able to emerge from the crisis unless the people come together to find a nonviolently and includes the path forward. We continue to urge all political and religious leaders to prioritize our efforts to bridge the deep divisions. The United States is not aligned with nor is it supporting any Political Party or group. We remain actively engaged with all sides and are committed to supporting the egyptian people as they seek to salvage their nations democracy. Weve been clear that these decisions belong to egyptians. Host j kearney yesterday talking about the situation in egypt. Jay carney. Front page of the Washington Post fromnt to get an update the bureau chief joining us from cairo this morning. What is the latest. Today so far is fairly calm but in the summer things kick re expecting to see is people from yesterdays two were killed in yesterdays Early Morning shooting. We expect to see a very public funeral procession and burial. There is the potal for violence. Very emotional demonstrations as those go forth. The country will wait to see if that it might more clashes and islands in the evening. Host the interim president has said he would do an investigation into what happened. Is that helping to calm the violence . No, it is certainly not. Early monday morning silence was so far a fairly isolated him incident of extreme violence. We have not seen clashes continuing throughout last night or into today. We are waiting still to see how the Muslim Brotherhood decides what the next up is going to be. So far the group is still calling for a peaceful protest but the escalating rhetoric and calling for an uprising or Resistance Movement to the army. That could be interpreted in a lot of ways and certainly by different followers of the movement. Viewers lain for the the Muslim Brotherhood within egypt. Guest the Muslim Brotherhood has been around since 1928. It was the most prominent Opposition Movement to hosni mumbarak. Over the years it had really build up a huge grassroots following through Charity Activities and through its limited participation in politics. So the group is wellpositioned to take power. Power, did not go so well and has been forced out by the military backed by a an overwhelming wave of popular demand. So the group is at a crossroads. We do not know now whether it will decide to enter back into life in opposition after a year after being in the highest echelon of power or whether they will revert to an earlier model where it seeks to resist the violence. Not know which way will go at this point. Tugofwarrtainly bediffent people in the very large movement about the appropriate steps to take next. Explain the influence in egypt politically, and also, a grassroots level. How well organized are they and how big they are. Big they are, how but certainly have hundreds of thousands of supporters. The group has long been a fairly secretive organization. That was one of their problems when they were in power. Them of being too isolated and to inward looking. Failures. Ne of his the group still has a very large grassroots following. Still probably the most political most followed Political Organization in egypt. Should it be allowed to play allowed back in and compete in the next political election, it still could garner quite a few votes at the polls. Not as much as it did in the last election, but it could take a sizable minority in parliament. Host what about that anti Muslim Brotherhood . The other Political Parties or groups in the country . How big of an influence do they have . That is unclear. As a whole in the sense that they are antiMuslim Brotherhood, they are huge. They are in the millions. Saysis what the military compelled it to eventually force him out. Mobilization goes around other causes, now that he is gone, we do not know what the and inities are the area the past we have seen the liberals have floundered. They are poorly organized. They have not been a lot been able to give voters out to the polls around a common figure or group or have been able to impact policy in a democratic system because theyre so unorganized. Host you are on the ground. Tell us which countries are playing our role in this situation and which have the most influence. Guest well, i could not tell you. Is certainly aes country that everyone here has an interest in. Were seeing both sides of the political divide it look to the United States and hurl accusations in washingtons direction to say you are supporting the other side, morsiially from the anti side and a lot of angry calls for each of to stay out of their business. At the same time, the brotherhood has accused the United States of backing the military and its cue. Coop. Its playing a very prominent role, regardless of whether that is the case. Host 12 showed live shots of in egypt. Are people gathering in egypt. What about the country of qatar . The role reports about theyre playing in the money theyre pouring into egypt. It has provided a number of grants from to keep the economy afloat. Egypts economy has really been faltering. They have billions of dollars in debt and the foreign currency reserve and have all been predicting the economy is headed for a serious crash. As egypt has scrambled over the past year to shore up more funds, it has been a very critical country in that regard. Aes provide the the series of loans to keep the country moving. A lot of allegations from anti owds that said they have also supported the Muslim Brotherhood. The cases very hazy. Host what is next today . Guest we are watching to see whether how the funerals go, whether they proceed peacefully, whether the supporters are able to bury the people who were killed in yesterdays violence without that spiraling into more violence, more angry confrontations. Alsoll see all slowed were keeping an eye on the u. S. Embassy where members are planning to stage a big anti american demonstration. We will see how that goes as well. Abigail hauslohner, thank you very much. What role shall the United States play in egypt . A couple of tweets for you fred bingham says if you want to post your comments, go to twitter dark, cspan.

The Obama Administration dont want to read it it made a mistake made ao admit they mistake. If they do, they will have to pull back the money they are giving the Muslim Brotherhood, but they do not want to do that. They want to support them. I did not think we ought to be supporting them anyway. Over there. They do that is the way it is. Timesthe washington here is what the white house folks White House Press secretary had to say of the issue of money to egypt. The timel take necessary to review what has taken place and monitor efforts by the egyptian authorities to include a democratic way forward. As we do, we will review our requirements under the law and do so consistent with the policy objectives. Yesterdaycarney talking about the money and whether or not like some have said we should stop the money to egypt call it a coup. Naperville, illinois. Independent calller. What do you think . I wanted to ask and say missed thethe u. S. Ball. They should have been more helpful to the democratic election the democratic government. There are other countries that have more influence than the u. S. Saudi arabian. It becomes very difficult and what the role is that the u. S. Should be playing now because the u. S. Has to balance things out. Was such a big influence on other countries. Host you were saying that the white house should have supported the Muslim Brotherhood more . Caller it is a democratic elected government with a democratic process. He did receive. Now what we have is a coup. Basically the United States does not want to admit it. We have to play the balance. Rather than waiting until the end, now that this happened we do not know what to do. Host but to show you the piece me show you a piece in the wall street journal caller you have an issue basically with the coup of government and pakistan. As long as you have the military and the generals of the military to leave, you have to honor the people. You just cannot have the military running everything. That is an issue that will be affecting the middle east. Military you get the to active in democratic way . Caller it is very rough. Would you have a military killing over 50 of their own citizens, that does not make sense. Do have to draw the line. The u. S. Does not on the highest influence. Spending allere this money, we are not the most. Host where are you from . Aperville, illinois. Originally india. Appoint host about the countries that have influenced other countries. Democrat calller in new york. Go ahead. Caller hello . I am not a democrat. I am independent. That was the only member i could get. Host i am going to cut you off because i do want people to call in on the line the reflex or ideology. Caller starting with the notion that what happened in egypt was a democratic election. It was not. It was a man must managed election. Not an election. That was a managed saying that was supposed to look like a democracy. Reason the United States has any interest in egypt is the suez canal and israel. It wants to keep the peace treaty with israel at any cost. They want to continue to. Ontrol the true democracy was in the streets with the largest blood protest in history ever. That was a true democracy. Want thet do you president to say to those people . Caller i did not want him to say anything. Stay out of each of its affairs. Let the people decide. Host democratic calller. Say i do would like to not think the u. S. Should have any role. Every other week is a fight in the middle east. When regan to get our stuff together . The united care of states. Next week there will be another fight somewhere else. Host you do not think we need to have influence in the middle east region . Caller not that way. We have lots of stuff to do at home. The line for republicans. Mike is next. Like to say i would is first we need to know who we are up against in the middle east. Those supplying all of the guns and ammunition and weapons and and the whole middle east. I was in vietnam. Russiane armed with weapons. It is the russians that undermining us, trying to bankrupt us. Were 16 trillion in debt and doing a darn good job at it, but we need to know who we are fighting. Not the arab spring and al qaeda and all of this. It is them supplying them to get us involved and bankrupt us. That is about all i have to say about it. Muslimary says what the brotherhood winds again . As the Muslim Brotherhood allow them to assume office . Egypt is destined for military role. We will keep getting your take on what the role should be, if any, in egypt. We told you at the top that the focus of Immigration Reform now goes to the house. The Senate Passed the bill last month. House republicans will meet behind closed doors tomorrow to discuss the path forward in what they should do. The House Judiciary Committee has been marking up several bills. Homeland Security Committee has their own Border Security bill. Meanwhile, still the gang of seven of the house side that is meeting behind closed doors and taking a look at Immigration Reform and deciding what they should put out as a group. There is definitely a lot of concern, not just in the house of representatives but across the country about massive pieces of legislation. That was from the republican of virginia. Democrats hope to force republicans into taking up a comprehensive senate bill will not be pleased with the outcome. The gang of seven and the house started out as a gang of 20. The numbers have dwindled down to seven. Of thet page Washington Times a look from our recent report released monday. Also on capitol hill, the senate Judiciary Committee will hear testimony from president obama as pick to take over the fbi. In the New York Times oped piece, questions for the fbi nominee, laying out 11 different questions for him to answer. One of them, is he as independent as he has made out to be . We will cover the confirmation hearing on cspan3 at 10 00 this morning. He time has come the governor rick perry said he will not seek another term as the state governor, but was not forthright about his other future plans. Also this morning, an update on to resend carries condition. She has been upgraded to fair. Kerrys heinz condition. She was hospitalized sunday after showing systems consistent with a seizure. That is in usa today. The Baltimore Sun reporting the defense opened the week trial. They opened the defense of the army for portraying him as a computer whiz, operating under a loose guidelines whose decision to leak classified documents was based on a wellintentioned sense of idealism. Economy and business section has a lengthy piece of felt both allen. Booz allen. Back to our question for all of you, what role shall the United States play in egypt . And next calller in new york. Democratic calller. Go ahead. I just wanted to say that ever since the 1960s the United States has used egypt as a buffer between palestine and israel. We see now is a massive restructuring in the finance industry. This is compounded with the historical unrest in the region. What we see now is to western influence of american influence, because this one is no america does represent peace in egypt. This combines with the International Unrest from the economic restructuring influenced by the world bank and imf. We continue to see this unrest. I think that islamic groups in regionnd within the finally gained control of power in the region and are able to hold it. From the Washington Post least in albany, new york. Democratic calller. Caller i absolutely agree with the united with the last calller. The united sates state should stay out of the affair right now. That means militarily, financially, not being involved in the military obligations. Be friendsing to with , we have to allow egypt to have sovereignty. Another thing is i do credit him for not accepting imf aid, because everyone knows that looks like a form of Structural Adjustment Program which wrecked africa. Tos caused many people assess the food subsidies. That would have been very detrimental for egypt. I am very glad he refused debt. I would hope any future leader of egypt refuses it. That kind of influence of any western power in a region that does not have the best intentions or has its own intentions would be too much. Host another program note. A Memorial Service for all 19 firefighters killed battling the wild fire will be held today. The Vice President joe biden will be speaking. We will cover it today. Margie in ohio. Republican calller. Thank you for cspan. It is my humble opinion that the United States should remain neutral in this process, stay out of it. That would be to include some of my fellow republicans such as john mccain. This is a situation that is fluid at the time. I truly believe the majority of the people of egypt want democracy, but if we cannot support the democratic movement, considering we fact foresee and the Muslim Brotherhood, my suggestion would be that we were made out of it remained out of it and let the people sort it out. Democracy is painful. This is going to take time. That is about all i have to say. Host see in california. Independent calller.
