these protesters have largely been presented by the media as hippy anarchist teens this marching eighty nine year old retired teacher would beg to differ grocery oh my god now that what they do to the american people to our sister out completely corrupt completely responsible good will national recession that we have video or student he is here with his three year old daughter in law i want to bring my daughter because i would like for her to. get an idea of what it is the politically active she says protesters issues with the system may differ but if you're fed up this is where you need to be there and she's all come down to one thing and that you know when the wealth is concentrated into the hands of the field. it's very difficult to get any laws for any kind of an issue that is in the interest of ninety nine percent of people going around saying. you know i mean that's just that's economic reality pennsylvania couple dawn and mathias add some loose pedal to their outdoor beds to stay close eat talk off by an american flag i left my job i left my home i left my family i left my job. b

i have to agree with these hippies. it was a pretty thin read. they went on a paintball excursion and they did cricket and basketball. it is teams like -- where was the evidence -- somebody said they wanted to be a martyr. they didn't have anyone they could quote on that. >> they were just saying that to get rid of you. >> we all do. but it seemed like it was bad policing. especially today when there was an actual plot with an iranian operative. >> we all know why that was released today, right? >> timing. >> timing. >> older. >> trying to create a distraction. >> broad left wing conspiracy. >> here is the thing, bill, this is my point, they say we thwarted 13 plots. if we did, we wouldn't be having this discussion. police have been so effective. >> they have been effective, but the largest population that has said something, muslims. muslim americans have been instrumental to go from the neighbor's place. they foiled 40 attacks and they had nothing to do that. you have to look at a situation like this where you have mainstream american muslims a

just like what you heard there is what i saw it's just a bunch of dancing hippies protesting there are all kinds of people there babies teachers cheerleaders uncle sam and. seriously it's a mixed bag but they were happy to take some time from their books so bongos sports training. catered lunch yet it was catered lunch designer yoga clothing absolutely lemon logo computers awesome act books and phone stop and get to the bottom of it. but seriously r.c. has shown you firsthand that many of the people camped out down the street here don't appear to be crazy yes protests attract your so-called hippies and extremists many of whom may appear to be overdue for a shower but i've personally interviewed a distressed mother sick and tired of her son being deployed to fight in afghanistan time and time again i've spoken to another person whose home was foreclosed and struggling to make ends meet and i've spoken to young college graduates shackled by college debt and graduating and so you believe job market and any of these people feel powerless and are struggling to get their voices heard any way

sure it's too hard for me to make it these protesters have largely been presented by the media as hippy anarchist teens is marching eighty nine year old retired teacher would beg to differ well she went oh my god what they do to the american people to us to stand completely corrupt completely responsible would mess the recession that we had the real art student is here with his three year old daughter whom or i want to bring my daughter because i would like for her to get an idea of what it is to be politically active she says protesters issues with this to sydney differ but if you're fed up this is where you need to be their issues all come down to one thing and you know when the wealth concentration the fantasy. it's very difficult to get any new laws passed with any kind of issue that is in the interest of ninety nine percent of people going around saying. that's just above that. pennsylvania couple dawn and mathias add some rules pedals to their outdoor beds to steep cozy topped off by an american flag i left my job i left my home i left my family i left my job . because i think thi

paid some attention but as the demonstrators are presented as young slackers what's one thing that hippies like most that drugs those who are ready to real change are growing more diverse by the day. this is true cannot archie. you know there are so many things to say about what's happening down wall street so many different kinds of people they're there for different reasons but with a foundation that seems to be more and more firm so media coverage of the protesters often makes them out to be dirty hippies with no focus or even more take a look. i just think there's a distinction here these people are not like the party yours are not law abiding citizens there has been a park where fifteen years in a while they're breaking the laws on the brooklyn bridge that's not the party behavior that's not america loving behavior so i was curious to hear how some of the protesters feel about this so earlier i spoke to someone that occupied wall street herself and was out front and center on the brooklyn bridge over the weekend protester katie small convert i asked her thoughts on a fox news guest ac

the critics out there that have been trying to you know just dispel this as a bunch of spoiled rich hippie kids that have nothing better to kill. sky was a true tour of the ruin of a rock in the marine corps as i am also an addict it's ridiculous realistically and scott was passionate about it and so what activism along with you know the occupy movement and you know the true issues are really essentially related. economic you know all of it we're dealing with the wars that we're continuing to be in and. you know unfortunately had to pay a really awful price arrow in the show to i mentioned that the statistics if you look at unemployment in the united states unemployment rates are levels excuse me for veterans post nine eleven are also higher than for the national average of the twelve point four percent and you feel like that's something that is often you know that's forgotten yeah i think so unfortunately the military population that we had was less than one percent of the country as a result there's not a lot of interaction between you know the rest of america military and veterans so ou

the laziness of the media the early narrative was that yeah these are just a bunch of unemployed hippie bums they would be just hanging out on the street all day anyway and that's a very really easy narrative for the media to use because they don't really have to do any hard thinking about why people are there they can go find the least articulate person to talk to and say that person speaks for everybody there and i'd say fortunately that perception has been shifting for at least the past week there's a lot of people down there who have suffered real pain whether it's losing their homes or losing their jobs or had their student debt spiral out of control and very fortunate to have a job but that doesn't i don't support a lot of the things that the people at occupy wall street are talking about. and i should say take this opportunity to say that you know with all of all the people the occupy wall street if there's anything that we are supposed to agree on it's that no one person speaks for the whole groups as i speak to you here today i'm talking about my experiences down there i certai

explain as mockery of this movement as they've basically described them as a bunch of spoiled dirty hippies but now u.s. veterans are taking part because they've been a group that's been harder hit than the average population in this economy so on national official unemployment not counting the six stands at nine point one percent for post nine eleven veterans it's twelve point four and that's only expected to get worse so joining me to discuss this is matt howard a member of iraq veterans against the war mad i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight and i know that you you actually know scott so what's it like seeing somebody that you know who you know is now in this condition because of what happened with the police the other night. i think that we may have just lost scott we're going to try to we're going to try to get connection with him again just wait with this one moment but let's i said again he was upgraded today from critical to stable condition there have been a lot of friends of his relatives in the hospital they have been trying to update the crowds and this is somethi

despite what you heard here's what i saw it's not just a bunch of dancing hippies protesting there are all kinds of people there babies teachers cheerleaders uncle sam and. that seriously it's a mixed bag but they were happy to take some time from their books banjos bongos sports drinks. catered lunch yet it was catered lunch designer yoga clothing that's a little lemon logo computers lots of mac ochs and phones to help us get to the bottom of it. goes a little an advance so it's not a crime now well joining me to discuss this from our studio in los angeles is an experience co-host of the young turks and i want to thank you for joining us tonight and we have a couple of clips we're going to play but i want to start with reflecting on this erin burnett clip that we just you know at first we heard so much critique that hippies why are they wearing suits they'll be taken more seriously now they're not being taken seriously because they're wearing designer yoga pants i mean how do you win with that. you don't win with that and honestly if i were erin burnett i would be so humiliated by tha

to have burning man girls living right goes out gets accused of being chaotic an educated teenage hippies in reality it's the old and the young and those in between were out on the streets all of the people here are different walks of life about something if you try to settle down every piece of the it should be to much to speak about my first. name from texas thirty one year old katie did some study political science and college and is now filmmaker volunteer in the camps media center her family lived the american dream until the recession broke it i just look at what happens to the world around me and like everyone i know is anxious for us to take them to something you know it's probably a filing you know and it's like going to be there's elements of rebirth of society represents all the reasons why people are coming together you know trying to make sure that. what this is to katie and other occupiers is the beginning of a true revolution and i feel like this is what i've been working for my wife and i have opted for something. better for weeks into the demonstrating the occupy wall str

as a guy who was once a hippie and turned into a wall street guy.y quit their jobs and moved to neb nene -- moved from a park in nebraska to a park in manhattan. >> there is a better life than nebraska. >> it is true, but it is so anti-america. these people are jealous and they stink. it blows my mind. goldman sacks and jp morgan were once companies with two and three people trying to make it. they made themselves, and now they are evil. they employ all of these people's fathers and grandfathers and now they hate them and go against it. >> can we get a point, counter point. that was great. but now can we talk to hippie matt? hip me matt, what say you of these protests? >> i'm too busy backing paing through europe, man. -- backpacking through europe, man. i'm too busy with a nice cold one, man. >> and now my favorite game, what's in the pipe? >> unreal. i -- you are a hippie-crite. >> and i did stink at that point and i was jealous of everybody else. >> you didn't look like you were jealous of anything. you didn't look like you knew who you were. >>

it's going to start off by inviting ben spencer to my program tell me what soviet style hippies i've managed to churn out because i consider what i do you hear it r.t. what mr smith would call real reporting and fact i regularly bring up topics and questions that ben smith and his friends in the mainstream media don't seem to care much about such as why democrats and republicans can't seem to agree on anything less it comes through extending the most dangerous provisions of the patriotic for which they're happy to come together in a show of unity or continuing to allow the military industrial complex to. always keep growing and i was also one of the only news programs to follow the occupy wall street movement from its first day on mr smith and his mainstream media cohorts were content to sit back and not the protesters as dirty hippies that is of course told story became too big for even then to ignore that just to name steele let's continue on this topic of real news reporting dive into the rest of this little jet he smith wanted to critique the story the reporter or he had done so

is something of from hannity but i've seen it widely on fox news they're not just calling you guys hippies aging have babies whatever but the notion that there's a lot of breaking going on right now in terms of public urination in public fact. through this tell our viewers that you did not hear it i mean is this something that you're seeing that's going on. you know the thing the falsity is very strong with these ones what they're trying to do is deflate our movement this time economic justice there is millions of working class people everywhere who just don't want to listen to these all the guards anymore they're asking us to share in a separate place for a disaster that we did not create and they're using these smears as the actions of the fact that their sword sides of it by wall street they might as well be in a three legged race i want to switch gears now and talk sort of about the protesters protesters like yourself and the message that being conveyed not just to fox news one of the major criticisms is that the protest is lacking is a sort of unified message i got to talk about this

without jobs which i take offense at because i was a hippy without a job and i know what that's like and that's not who they are and what this report does is it confirms what we've known for a long time which is that there's a massive upward distribution of wealth and now that were the bill has come due for some of this greed it is that we've seen that's caused the explosion of wealth at the very top there are going to ask the rest of us to pay for it and that's why people are protesting in and that's why they should you know the the the the differences are just mind boggling you know we have more wage inequality in this country than they have an egypt and that they have and most developed countries and there is even enormous inequality within the one percent and you know the top one percent at the ninety ninth percentile level year their income went up two hundred twenty four percent but if you go two point zero one percent of the ninety nine point nine their income went up almost four hundred percent so i'm waiting for the rich people to start to we are the point nine nine percent

>> that's an old hippies, 60s thing. what do we want? it gets people going.m incredibly naive and nice. i think their hearts are in the right place. i think it is easy to dismiss them as a bunch of fools because they are a bunch of fools. they have a valid beat. they should be mad at those who get paid thousands of times more than they get. i was disappointed to see that no one was mad at the government. it was just rich people. >> and did you have any idea or sense from them what the solution was? do they want to get rid of banks or rich people? >> i think their ambiguity is a recognition that they don't have a plan. there was a rumor that they had the talk talking points and everybody has to get $20 an hour. that was a message on a blog. they have never had a list of demands. i think they know that it is really complicated, and you have to have an iq like this level to figure it out. >> i think we have a picture of you today. actually you would use a cheap magic marker and the first word just disappeared. >> i used the children's marker for the first word,

reports and mainstream media that it's mock the occupy movement describe them as a bunch of young hippies with no jobs well yes although this number has now become one of the compass is americans of all ages and all backgrounds at the start it was mostly young people young people who did everything they were supposed to work hard in school got a college degree also they could then go out get a job and lead a normal life because that's what they were told they were supposed to do but guess what after last week's trading practices and a lack of government regulation brought down the entire economy and businesses personnel waves of massive layoffs then stop hiring altogether all our jobs continue to be shipped overseas but everything that these young people work for worked hard in school for an acquired massive student loan debt poor all of it had vanished. and so that's why they're out of the streets right now protesting this unjust and corrupt system because now that they've been sent back and able to find jobs right out of college satirically the majority will be affected throughout the r

, sort of a self-avowed hippy and his politics leans left even though he had critical things to say aboutarack obama and to barack obama's face in a couple of the meetings that isaacson reports. so i think there's an ideological connection with steve jobs as well as a fascination that he truly could transform technology of the world. >> the media can't get enough, judy? >> it seems not. every time i turn on any station, and you know, peddling his book, which is wonderful. i, too, am a simon & schuster author and he's going to carry the other people who will not now. and it's great. i think the personal story in addition to what monica said about his tremendous technological and commercial accomplishments, the personal story is so amazing. abandoned by his parents and a sister who turns out to be a literary genius, mona simpson and effort to reconcile with his mother, but not miss father. i think this is the stuff oh, boy, i can just see the movie. >> there's another quote in the book about his interest in helping the new york times, he writes, one of my personal projects this year, i've d

that crazy hippies then have the guile to write press releases with as much punch as. ok john you touched on something earlier in the program which is that in tripoli john i think it's a region. that's going to john in san francisco it is that you mention something really it's very interesting is it when what is success for this kind of social movements i mean it when we does that mean ok how does the world change because you know what you pointed out i mean a lot of people sitting in their basements writing you know tweeting and things like that there is no critical mass here so there's no critical mass in the movement how can they be critical mass and some kind of outcome oh i think there can be. critical mass and the outcome i mean obviously i don't i don't believe that what we're trying to do here in the united states is in any way similar to what had to be done in egypt say where they really literally had over overthrow the government and and probably have to do it again. but what we have to do is to is to get people to seriously take a look at how our government

personnel of joining us shows that they recognize that this is an american movement it's not about hippies in a negative stereotype thirty year old gary briggs has served in the national guard for the last two years he's spending his short vacation at occupy wall street guys marines national guard maybe ceo's. yan more the better a guardsman is outraged at the fact that marines are getting attacked at home but caught that better should be fired and hung up by the balls. others here believe it won't be long however until the police join the crowds instead of restricting that because. this is protesting. and they're going to see that. zero but even if this doesn't happen the movement won't be scared to wait any time soon but marines and other military vets pledges to. how the protesters back. with everybody has been and it's gathered in the room that's being created here no sword will cause an associate churkin o r t. so we want to remind people there are major movements going on around the country even around the world today and much much more expected for the coming days as many cities are

my goodness me i mean this hippie scum is getting what they deserve who think they are going into public areas and actually try to stay there oh i definitely agree i think that it's wonderful that we are reigning justice down on these people i mean you want class more fair work if you class warfare oh you did give drug test because i'm sure they told you no should they yes they should but i think the police were a little busy because these protesters have been throwing stuff at the police i say more rubber bullets and then drug test and good good idea there they could bring in the dogs too it could be a good photo. i let's move on to the next one soon this is something that you are just outraged over right now this of pictures came out two thousand and ten but now this is a foreclosure firm that's called stephen j. vow and. take a look at some of these pictures people are outraged thinking that they're being insensitive to all the people of haiti you know whose houses they have foreclosed upon it's all the way but this is america you know you have the freedom to dress up as whoever and w

he was sort of a hippie-ish rebel kid, loved listening to dylan music, dropped acid. he loved electronics. >> kroft: jobs would eventually cross paths with a computer wizard at berkeley five years his senior named steve wozniak. they became fast friends, sharing a love of high-tech pranks and a disdain for authority. one of the things they did was to copy and improve an illicit device called a "blue box", which reproduced the tones that the phone company used and allowed users to make free long distance phone calls. >> isaacson: wozniak loves the blue box. he's doing it as a prank. steve says, "we can sell them. we can market them." and they sold about 100 of them, and jobs said to me, "that's the beginning of apple. when we started doing that blue box, i knew that, with wozniak's brilliant designs and my marketing skills, we could sell anything." >> kroft: that was still a few years off. jobs enrolled at reed college in oregon at a time when timothy leary was telling students across the country to turn on, tune in, and drop out. jobs did after one semester. >> jobs:

they're not hippies we're not trying to have an excuse to just party around these are working people people can actually come from work come over here and volunteer their time showing up at the protest without the network's logo fox news has spearheaded operation undermine occupy wall street boy if you take a shower and they get a job if they want the college they're corporatist seen a hit below the belt approach prevail they're going to whatever you say and they're going to leave. and they're going to run whatever. it's no secret that it's the corporations protested against here but oh the big t.v. networks in the u.s. people are standing up against corporations that actually run the media benito mussolini or define fascism as a collaboration of corporation a government welcome to america guys that's what this is this is fascism at its finest little interest in substance or analysis has been shown like exploring why americans have been driven out onto the street like why you got here and i say well the name of the protests by wall street i think wall street has something to do with

because a you know the realization that the mainstream media portrayed this is nothing more than a hippie movement is rapidly evaporating as it spreads across the country and the world so we'll see all kinds of politicians jump on board to try to harness some of this energy because it's not going away and another reason why people are so angry and that's growing income inequality gap that's all ninety nine point nine percent has enjoyed it increased economic growth over the recent years and why is this growing income inequality gap not a concern for some and sad anger at or this trend is being called class warfare. yeah i mean you know if you look with what we have seen so far in the last few weeks of mainstream media coverage is the attempt to drive a wedge between what we perceive to be tea party members and what we perceive to be occupy wall street members this is going to backfire the reason is because the underlying fundamentals of our economy it necessitates the fact that people have real outrage and real fresh ration because they can't find a job or they lost their home and at the

show the kind of reversion or you know that it's some movement of of scary black people as well as hippies on the one hand but it also fulfills the role of showing as there are these are two men who have been very much in opposition to barack obama so it's a very well planned well produced sort of situation and you know the protesters kind of play ended out when they do the fox news lies chant and that scares fox's demographic on the other hand you have c.n.n. which is owned by time warner which you know is beholden to a lot of investment banks and funds and wall street basically ignoring this and told the last minute yes anderson cooper could go down and look at that he could he was in to here's where he was in haiti this is our version of their square but again they're their target demographics main street that watches. anderson cooper they're not that personally invested in this yet but they will be because my. more and more people do you see unions and just regular people backing this and you see it all over the country so i think you're going to see c.n.n.'s coverage get a little bit

kids and aging hippies out there they hate corporations they hate capitalism and in the end ultimately they want statism over free markets so they really don't like freedom as a military veteran and lee i just want to get your reaction to this. i think it's it's a laughable these people are allowed to have public opinions but at the same time everything is a load of public opinion so you know they can say what they want to say it won't make it true it won't make it it won't make it something that has any real rational foundation but maybe you know saying things like this you know. it could only keep being untrue and you know who knows maybe maybe it will change now that we are seeing so many more military veterans come out i want to play one more thing up on his radio show sean hannity actually told a protester that because she's protests and she doesn't believe in liberty or in freedom and we found this on you tube someone asking a few other veterans to respond to what have these that on his radio show i'll show you what they said and then i'll get your response. it's the biggest load

as part of your employer may or you're wearing a tie right now you certainly don't look like the hippies that a lot of the other mainstream media say is what this movement is made up of when you get your take on what you see as future achievements what will you consider successes as this movement continues i'd say the movements are already a success to get back to your earlier point about being a marketing analyst and involved with this movement yes this movie does bridge a lot of class foundries and there are a lot of people down at this movement who hold down full time jobs i mean on a circle to sleep over night but show up on a regular basis every day day after day in order support those that are. i think the success of this warning has to do with the high turnout from the public the public support for this movement you know it's it's unclear at this point we're being you know to sort of part of the public and being a participant being a protester earns i heard that. in time magazine is that more than half the country is supporting occupy wall street and all of that half the country h

number of clips there for starters i mean what's your take on all of the negativity the the dirty hippies we hate them and they hate america and they even hate freedom. well there's some of that when you're going to have a protest that center of gravity is to the left of center you're going to attract a certain element that can easily be criticized and i think recently criticized as you know crazy dirty hippie scum but let's be serious here the republicans on this on the right are making a mistake if they view this crowd the wall street crowd as exclusively that sort of person they're good people on the right of center and thank you folks the manhattan institute like the cultural and it's like josh farrow they've taken a serious look at what's going on here their position is nuanced there's a lot more than meets the eye especially if you look at the way the mainstream media is covering it and you know folks at reason and elsewhere have said it's on the ground journalistically and they've done some good reporting so you know i think that given the fringe element that's at work here it's ea

know even before i went to war for the first time the media coverage was you know that we smoke and hippies and you know these are people who who are not resilient who don't want to work in things that at nature but both my parents served in military i served in the military college educated people i don't understand how you can go to college to serve in the military or be a fly a slider or you know being a local you know because for us to work at and not be considered resilient so you know we have a lot of people out there who are from all walks of life but the media portrays it as one life and so that's why the opinions of who is down and what's going on is different from you know place the place but i would be you know be the first one and tell you that we are we are resilient and that's what we are we're fighting for the people no matter you know if they believe in us and at the end of the day if we're successful then we're all we will all live well and you know credit needs to be given to the occupy a few foreigners who out there twenty four hours a day seven days a week you know you k

definitely a lot of what we hear of course are derogatory names being thrown out then calling them hippies and most people say really these are only the young people are disaffected youth if that's what you want to call it now you know go to their reactions to you about the fact that now there are occupy los angeles san francisco boston chicago this really is spreading across the united states that this you know in the great then give reenergized then i guess you could say it does and they're well aware of it their communications group is working with them to coordinate and trying to keep them apprised as a group is how the group is growing these different locations they're using social media as a social media editor at reuters monitoring all these things that are going on in different locations trying to stay on top of the story and find out where it's going. finding out how many people are gathering in these different locations it doesn't seem like it's reached the same level as it has here in new york but we're starting to see more and more activity in places like chicago and los angele

you know they still support americans just because you you know go out and hang around the smelly hippies in mcpherson square does not mean that you're really on their side you know you think they are is just smelly hey if i walk through mcpherson square today i need a nose like well you know the d.c. movement so far has been much smaller but we've seen a lot of coverage of especially occupy new york ever reporters down there and it's not just smelly have these these are every day people of all ages having i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight and let's let spread the message that needs to be spread thanks for being i think. after that we have who a little time award winner tonight thanks to explain more on that development three weeks the last of the side of the keystone x.l. pipeline is going to fail you know i think on the seven hundred mile the project that's putting environmentalist against light.

street isn't so good but then he thought goes on to talk about how much he hates the dirty smelly hippies that are just going to the bathroom and getting all over the place but basically you wrote yesterday too about some of the responses that we've seen particularly from conservative politicians be it mitt romney talking about how it's dangerous class warfare to representative peter king who says i saw the sixty's and i saw how that turned out how the media glorified those protestors and then policy came because of it and you know what do you think about all of these comparisons to the one nine hundred sixty s. and the idea that the media glorified the movements that well the key point about peter king's comments were peter king said that in the in the nineteen sixty's that we ultimately the protests shaped policy and that we cannot let that happen again that's a direct quote from peter king and if you really unpack that what he's saying is is that things like the civil rights act medicare the voting rights act and the vietnam war protections against discrimination against women these th
