but of course everyone watching this interview sisco they thought if i was free to walk by boston for ideas about how to get people warm warm weather to somebody pass through to go and buy a bigger fence that was sleeping bags or people the reason this is the way back to because we're sitting with our feet is like if you're square we're saying we're persistent and we will last through the winter because we care that much we need warm weather posting here we need support from our citizens to do this so i'll be off to fight often i'll be sitting out there every night i'm able and the more support people are able to give the more total be able to spend out there is where with people occupying the city right it is a much greater space for how they. fire there is a lot more coming up so stay challenging one with it. was either the police corruption.

like what a protest or nobody seems to know. that never appropriate to face but hardly argument that they're being overly dramatic. you know some version see a story and it seems so silly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is or you don't i'm trying hard to music to. feel.

all right so i did not come down here alone believe me there's a really hard working crew that made all this possible today and that includes

their favorite a lot of show producer kenny churchill. we have below the shell has been covering i think by wall street and they want this is the first day that we've actually been down here however the mainstream media has been kind enough to follow all of our young people that are here we want to give you a flavor of some of the people who are down at this particular location at least here on wall street so let's take a look at some of the pictures we have the pictures of we have all dave this guy right here he's apparently a fugitive he's wanted for burglary i worked out for his arrest but he says that he found out that hiding out at this protest would be a great place to not be found garbage is everywhere new york post describes a scene where drugs are being sold people urinating in deafening in public it's a mixed bag but they were happy to take some time from their books span job is bongos sports drinks they're passing out free condoms has been open sex

going on there drugs easy to score i don't know it seems like the manson have a good feel for you here but i want to disagree it's obvious place here to figure out once and for all who's right and who's occupying wall street basically we've been hearing from the only people down here but you. know we're trying to get really serious i. know it's work countries go hard i'm currently a second year psychology student in the us so he did really i'm not one of those thirty hippies but they say they're down here i'm not one of the trust fund babies you know but both retired cop my mother is a retired church secretary they both go to republican i couldn't for bush i'm a doctor and i'm here in my uniform because i wanted to show that while we're not just about thirty of these were average americans you know i just get more american the boys i'm stupid i'm sixteen and here with you i was part of the original people

that were kind of consulted about like what to do during the operations here or in general. i want to be original well i'm an old hippie but for different reasons do you know where we can score since you. know there's those roads now where are you. haven't found any myself so. yeah there's no drug use in the park i mean we have cops around us twenty four seven chevy i know i know that you have a criminal record you can try to trust me you can talk to me please. how can you feel just people running around having. a kid. i'm. not at all i'm serious i'm no here here working where all my first question is for sons of the future serving hot. sun. the fifteen dollar heroin how do you feel they've seen dollar one time i have not.

the closest thing is probably the guys to roll cigarettes is it possible that the people here are shielding you from all of the free sax drug dealers and hippies because you are a boy scout. i hope not i hope the last question are you a thirty. i don't believe in gertie or a heavy if you feel like you might be even if there are good people here not just saying that well why does it matter whether they're hippies punk rockers you know metal heads hip hop heads or whether they're into jazz or classical music it's the idea that as a citizen people are finally realizing that being an american citizen means more than just trying to have a big bank account. all right so for a while the mainstream media completely ignored the occupy wall street movement now

they just mock them but there are a lot of reporters out there that respect sleepless nights to bring us every single detail one of those is salon dot coms justin elliott who we spoke to. i'm hearing are a couple hours now please get here clean up the park like this this is our thought for the person said they claim that he sat that he was going to live. our. place and our. right was really salvatore me here the people who were shot there could hear me suffering over to protest every city's response and if they see something that's called hours ago that they think the mayor and like a commissioner saying that they were going to pay for something for the car they were just starting for several weeks to get six pack of cards and so on with the free to nothing for the past month the criticism here and something happened

overnight somebody playing here to face here or to come here to start cutting for real properties some real serious. so the story of what happened in five why they decided not to bring a police here i'm sure will come out at some point they think they might be make something happen even. clientele unaware that they are. people around here i think that's a big part of it like he had come into this season sort of the six hundred such a company thing apart the way that international media story here is imagine me here from around the world just staggering. that i am out of college about a week. ago we've been a very hard life now at my place. making the people party now carry him by. saying the same tragically in the first couple weeks when i think you're perfect

for such an unreadable i would care about the senior black on the story. if anything if you're on some problems like the saturation park saturday. at any one time fidelity several hundred protesters here sometimes the tree could be sad but i mean there's usually goes to camera from trenton country and around the world a lot of her. press coverage of the time covering it all the local press coverage. kind of press coverage i think actually warranted because this is really the center of. around the country. so yeah here we are success i think you came out of the study of last week the percentage press coverage i was here i think was seven percent coverage of the week or so i mean clearly been successful in suppressing.

the process. i think the relationship in front of me is still pretty positive i mean when fox news shows up here you should take a poll. i think r.t.d. you. are showing up here and sort of hi there and stand the fellow if there had to leave the car but generally speaking i found that they are very willing to be interviewed and they're carrying their message out about economic justice. reform on wall street the political system. there's a little bit of a break from that last night here in the organizing. people who are people who are getting briefed on what to do if they got arrested there's a little bit jumpy antigay photographic proof i'm not really sure why but generally speaking i think they want to tell their story i think i'm sorry say. why. they i. think. yeah i

think i think the movement really brought it to me and he didn't really have to leave or you didn't hear. now every day you're seeing different you local union standing in the polls that really prefer a first city for me sometimes place. so well. cooperation between occupy wall street those who are here for you and labor you i believe the local f.b.i. you can service workers you can providing food if i think there are plans for the let's say you do i have a medical truck here to give people a shot that they're going to be staying over the winter here that seems like a good relationship really interesting people coming in from all over the country have been attracted by the message i've seen abroad. and just then just the fact that rockets go. further than any other magazine basically the same thing and again

and still no clear goal or demand. here and there is a demand for workers discussing this day obviously the broad theme is still anger was free care economic inequality you know demand for for jobs and economic justice in this country that they just sit. there for. their. price target practice i. love writing in my case with the beginning of the thing is turn wall street proper respect to block south park into a sort of military zone they really have their heavy equipment out there they have their mounted police they have a lot of metal barricades are really not like i just go there and. there's a there's a fair amount of anger here bloomberg here and i don't think it's awesome anyone that he believes either the richest or the second richest man in the city basically

bought him a oral office for three terms. example where exactly he's also course he's been very publicly critical. the protests and and and their message so there was a lot of anger in him last night when it looked like they're going to get elected. that's broken this morning after the city and the company which mayor bloomberg longtime girlfriend actually sits on the board of directors of her feel the company that owns this park after the mayor and the company step back i'm really going to complain about them this morning but we still don't know what's going to happen going forward so. at this point doesn't he think that these guys would say yeah i mean i don't they're they're not going to go willingly i mean the company has said that they think if they can come to go to the agreement and i don't i'm not aware of those negotiations having started these protests are they still breaking what the company has said are the rules of the park including not having sleeping bags and tarps and so on so i think it's hard to say at this point where it's going i just think i might get next. right star last break but coming up we have

a panel discussion if taking place on happy hour. into that only we were trying to make a deal to bring justice or. i have every right to know what my government truly want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so easy to understand it and then even something else you hear see some other part of it and realized everything is off you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

welcome to. the elite the rectenna. all right so we try to get a couple of occupiers together so we could hold

a panel discussion and i guess do it in something much like their general assembly democratic style take a look. hi thank you so much for joining us we've been covering occupy wall street since day one in our studio in washington and we finally got a chance to come down here to speak to the people themselves and we've also seen a lot of journalists a lot of people have been reporting on it but i want actual occupiers i want your stories so you can first start off by introducing yourself telling me who you are why you're here and how long you've been here my name is paul armstrong i mean you know our worker from los angeles california i came to yorkhill job and copplestone i happened across here i'm just talking with the way the direction the country is headed right now my name's maher graham appears to be student i'm a member of the occupy wall street press team i'm here for my friends and family who have mounds of student and medical debt and just simply can't get by. my name's

josh lewsey i'm from miami florida and he's one through nine in a moment second trip they are saturday coming back from miami writing it's like a little time off where it's now we were here last night about one thirty two o'clock in the morning everybody was cleaning up getting ready for police to come busting down basically seven o'clock and start cleaning and suddenly i ended up not happening were you elated were you excited what was the reaction when you realize that if you know this maybe was napping quite yet well i was really excited i mean first of all i'm how do you know we can hopefully call with some sort of a resolution or we can say here to some point that we have a right to protest respected and also really so the strength of our movements really important victory now there are worth of course the marches are going on on the side today and there were some arrests josh i know that you witnessed something you tell us about it. for civil disobedience i saw. a softly speech down a protester pretty badly. what triggered it i don't know i didn't quite see it but

what's the relationship been like with the police that's parly do you feel like it's been an adversary are you. are you enemies here or the policeman trying to be respectful of you i've found that it seems to me that most of the generally the officers are very pleasant and every once in a while you run across an officer that just looks at you like you're a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of the shoe bomb but generally i personally i try to walk up to them and tell him hey you guys have a thankless job i'm sure you catch a lot of stuff from people here but thank you for being arab sure your family space you ok so each one of you tell me that you're not happy with the set them in the way it works so you have friends you have family members that have been affected by what is occupying the body part really going to do to fix that i think we're bringing in a suit to the symbol of power really which is wall street you know it's worth at

least to my view the government corruption in sub starts it's where campaign finance and the revolving government corporate door store you think of this is it is the center of corruption well i think wall street an important symbol of the economic corruption in our society are basically this systematic denial of working class people of the basic things they need to get by and you know obama talked about change you can believe in but he didn't really change anything and so this is something that say what you will is the change ok so if somebody planing needs that way out it's been going down i know you've been here since day one i know you've been here for a while what are the general assembly's you know what's the routine general assemblies or the horizontal democratic process through which the camp is running decisions are made basically. you know everything from when we start drumming or you know we need to sanitation department medical you know all these things kind of organically come out of the g.m. i find the fact he brought

a driving kind of interesting because i know that the local residents ask you perhaps if you could keep driving out just two hours a day. and from i was in here yes i was reading reports of people's feet there saying that maybe this is where we saw little bit of division amongst the occupiers was whether they wanted drama all day long or those that like a little silence of the truth well we welcome people who want to express themselves artistically we descended off with a way that we could all sort of work together and get along and i think you can see the value of our democratic procedure that we manage through problems that i suppose somewhat gets accomplished after every general assembly meeting you take part in ha ha it seems to me that because of the democratic process of the general assembly. there is no hierarchy that says this is how we're going to do things to get a vote amongst the populace here of how things are going to happen if the residents of the neighborhoods around here are upset we need to accommodate them because we're not trying to cost turmoil here we're trying to get

a message out personally i would like to see campaign finance reform happen out of this of course i have a whole laundry list of things that i would like to see change in our government but. it's happening all over the world and i just i think social media for being the biggest part of getting the message out globally now a lot of the part of critique this movement for a lack of a coherent message and i'm wondering aside from you know the fact that there isn't just one piece of paper out there there is a one mile one slogan does it worry you that there is no one single leader. now given to you said there's nothing to creaming suffering right but you knew one leader to at least be the face of the voice for everyone else absolutely. oh yeah this is absolutely not and so. it's a wonderful thing really because. everyone takes part in it everyone's a leader just by showing up just like talking just like dissipating hiring leading

this entire movement. and so see a lot of value because it's more difficult to call up something you or. assassinate the character of an organization true leader two which one do we manage to accomplish by having it be leaderless distributed much like anonymous and for too long we've been waiting for a while leader who is going to do things for us but we've seen now that the control that these financial institutions have over a leader is this simply means we need to look at our political involvement fundamentally differently and that's what we're trying to do now is how i think something these guys really worry about i'm not concerned about for example unions or community groups trying to do that there are those are working together i am concerned about some politicians and political parties that i didn't answer some of the biggest donors right in the democratic party you also have a lot of you will appreciate some of the big union bosses that i have too much power that unions that brought us so much good in this country. they probably also got some bad things but. the message that we're trying to get out is that we're all

want to work trying to sustain a middle class in america. it's it seems to me whether they're democrats or republicans they're in someone's pocket i would like to see someone of my stature able to represent me in congress right i also want to ask you you say we are all whining about the tea party i mean at the beginning the tea party started out also be angry about wall street bailouts right about government and was very polluting too closely to other corruption and now they're a wing of the republican party but at the root you guys have the exact same goal and yet the tea party i think if the tea partiers interviewed them on myself they don't have very nice things to say about you know what you have to say that well why say that you know we welcome and see party members and join us you know i think that you're right that there are a lot of fundamental overlapping goals that we have and we want to bring in all sorts of different voices and we welcome them to come here and participate but we're speaking about one of the fundamental differences though is that we're not

a political party we're trying to change things differently we're not just trying to sort of replicate the same process that that's failed previously so i'm sorry. they have negative things to say but we're trying to bring them in so what if changing things differently actually going to look like do you mean a revolution i mean you have any idea where this is really heading well what i'd really like i can only speak for myself you know of course you know as everyone here but i'd like to see through the rule of law restored my country i'd like to see our elected officials honestly serving the needs of the people which they are hired to do that's why they get elected and they're really not doing that so how do you go to make sure that they do that. or we have to go i think you know i mean to me fundamentally we need to treat the situation as the crisis that it is and say when people have no housing and jobs and they are trouble putting food on the table that has to be the top priority for what we do and so that's that's been put off to the side for too long in the interest of the financial institutions and so we need

to push things a media way forcing strong and fundamentally reorder the priorities of our society and that's not going to be easy and it's not going to happen quickly progress why we're out here ah how far are you willing to go short of violence i'm willing to do whatever it takes to get changes made in america all right so as you know by wall street movement has now grown really around the world but first starting across the country and so we had some people go out to occupy l.a. i thought if i do see how we ask that there are any messages that they want us to bring here for you so let's take a listen. happenings and thank you new york for bringing this it out thank you citizens of america for having a voice keep doing what you're doing we're doing we're going down here and we're all in this together solidarity gratitude an incredible night of gratitude for your courage and appreciation. of all you've done thank you for starting with the so exciting and you must really have a project by wall street is that there he was doing working out down here and we

hope you come visit a glorious notion would be to see people march from new york city down to one. in d.c. and meet the demands of congress we're with you one hundred percent and you've been an inspiration to everyone not just in america but across the whole world don't stop don't remember stuff stay there get arrested yell scream plead big do what you have to do to get everybody that you know and everybody that they know to see nobody wants to see this is it this is our revolution this is our time every era has its movement and this is ours and this is our future and we're getting it back . right there you heard what they have to say if you have any response or any message you want to send back absolutely. thank you guys so much we're here in solidarity with units of zenith in other cities and around the world are coming together to support our cause and make the world a much better place. it's really the support is overwhelming and the fact that we

spread so far is really almost a little hard to believe but a very exciting and it shows that we face the same kind of circumstances and problems all throughout the country and even beyond in europe and asia latin america and so i'm very excited to see that and. i want to keep going. i guess they joined us get involved to raise awareness. this this movement isn't going to go all the way people live twenty two percent of the children in america living in poverty that's not right in this country and people a twelve percent approval rating of congress people across the country are angry and it's time for their voices to be heard turn off your t.v. get outside get involved ok so that was then i think we have to say right the other out by the way pretty quickly any responses that you have toward fox news hannity bill o'reilly i mean the crack heads and dirty hippies well it's just it's

astounding the lengths to which that the some conservative media outlets will go to paint us as a rep for bait and drug dealers and you. now here you can see exactly what we're up to brad so sizing our right to participate democratically and even if you disagree you should be able to respect that i'm also going to say just come and actually talk to some of us are still going to say sean hannity bill o'reilly and i just look this way i'm actually a nice honest hardworking caring compassionate individual nigel's we love you guys like really thank you we want to thank you for joining us today thank you. i guess that's it for tonight's show are really happy to be could bring it down to new york even just for one day now there's something that i observed is that these aren't just angry and frustrated americans they are that but they're also hopeful that things can change by the occupy wall street movement continues or takes another shape they feel like something is happening in this country and they're part of it and all the a lot of chopin's we met out there today thank you so much for watching this is why would you would you be back in washington d.c.
