Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin and go to Cairo, Egypt for an update on the violent clashes between the angry supporters of ousted President Morsi and the military that toppled him. A political activist engaged in the first and now the second revolution underway, Sherief Gaber, a member of the Mosireen Independent Media Collective, joins us to explain the battles in the streets and the prospects for a restoration of Egyptian democracy with all side participating.
Part 2	Then we speak with Steve Clemons, the Washington Editor-at-Large for The Atlantic and editor-in-chief of Atlantic LIVE. We discuss the recent close vote on stopping the NSA from spying on Americans and the apparent gulf between the public and the political establishment on the government’s intrusion on our civil liberties. We also discuss the fate of Edward Snowden and whether the White House is using the cancellation of Obama’s September visit to Russia as leverage in getting Putin to hand over Snowden.
Part 3	Then finally we speak with Tom Hirschl, a Professor of Sociology at Cornell University and Director of the Population and Development Program. We discuss the new report that he worked on for the Associated Press that finds 4 out of 5 U.S. adults struggling with joblessness and near poverty in an economy in which President Obama says the income gap is fraying America’s social fabric.
