now being taken by the f.c.c. in seeking admissions form defendants also will require the banks to admit that its lax controls allowed traders in a unit in london to build their risky position and cover up their losses so there are men in their guilt but is this the kind of punishment the occupy wall street movement was looking for and what did the occupy movement actually do i was joined earlier by occupy activist sam jeweler and a lot to say in our d.c. studio and mike perlman in our new york studio mike is the director of the film the ninety nine percent occupy everywhere and i started off by asking sam to look back and characterize the occupy movement two years after it began. people don't see occupy in the headlines as much the way they did before and kind of assume that it has gone away or something but i think for us for a lot of people who are involved we really connected us with each other like before it started i think a lot of us were kind of felt alone in our politics and alone in our frustration aroun

head which is you said earlier all these words this profanity which i can't say right now because the f.c.c. will shut me down which is the issue but just how they're all rooted in a mean woman who shaming female bodies sexual organs i mean is this just about let's just take back all of these words let's flip them on their sides and reassert their meaning and take ownership of them. absolutely and clarity is about creating a new language that doesn't put shame in anyone's body that isn't about hierarchy and allowing for all of us who are trying to create a new way of existing in the world that isn't about these sort of old idea is to have some language to use because unfortunately this old language that still exists has a very. particular agenda and i think many of us don't identify with that and yet we also we have to work with so clear as he is an attempt to offer new language to create a new space that isn't about shame that everyone can engage in you know men and women young old gay straight it's really about freedom and body sovereignty and citizen and it's a very it's a very inclusive

caught the problem faster the settlement which reflects a somewhat tougher line now being taken by the f.c.c. is it seeking admissions from defendants also will require the bank to admit that its lax controls allow traders in a unit in london to build the risky position and cover up their losses so they're admitting guilt but is this the kind of punishment the also the occupy wall street movement was looking for are occupy protesters satisfied with the results of the movement here to bring us some answers to those questions are occupy activists sam jeweler in a lot to say and in there in our d.c. studio in our new york studio mike perlman mike is the director of the film the ninety nine percent occupy everywhere thank you guys so much for joining me sam let's start with you characterize the occupy movement looking back two years later after it began well i think people don't see occupy in the headlines as much the way they did before and kind of assume that it has gone away or something but. i think for us and for a lot of people who are involved they really connected us with each other like

the f.c.c.shed them both out of business for making billions of phone calls to numbers on the do not call registry. in the lawsuit against treasure your success the f t.c. says they tricked consumers to paying fees as high at 1,600 dollars with the promise of lowering credit card interest rates -- they say they never provided any of the promised services -- ambrosia web design promised low interest rates deceiving consumers making them i think they were part of a government program. >> if you're number is on the do not call registry and a company you're not familiar is calling to try to sell you something it's probably a scam. >> susan grant director of consumer protection says a recent survey says most people don't know their rights. >> they shouldn't be getting any calls from companies they don't have a business relationship with them whether it's a robot call or live sails person. >> once you register on the do-not-call list your number stays there until you remove it or change your number bu

i thinkit sits even worse considering that there was a recent audit by the f.c.c.und that 41% of the people that they surveyed who were participating in the lifeline program hadn't provening eligility. >> a lot of people are thinking, oh, this must be, you know we're talking about a couple of billion dollars. that's a relatively small government program, right? except when you start lking at a couple of the phone companies making, what is it, $9,500 a month. teracom, subject to an fcc investigation. they got $1 million fine, but they ma how much in 2012? $53 million. >> $52 million. >> that's impinged on their profit margin not much. tracc phone wireless, the largest provider of those wireless benefits through the safe link brand, 39 states, 3.6 million subscribers. track phone is owned by who? >> carlos flynn, the mexican billionaire. i think you see this is starting out as welfareor the poor, but what it's really turned into is corporate welfare plain and simple. what you is the program the innocentive structure is fraud. when stories pop up again and again, they
