and now i want to play a clip for you that we have wrath of rage against the machine tom morello. i didn't present visit i think that's very obvious you know he's he's he's considered a you know what i saw everything socialist as it is a as a as a half kenyan harvard graduate from illinois who is a fire breathing social somebody sort of the president is not personal but you know he didn't want to be painted with the you know. with the occupy movement and i think he considers he's got enough problems as it is but he will later come begging to our doorstep let me guarantee that. now what do you think is it a a why have political move for president obama. around the occupy wall street movement well you know certainly he has just as time or other standing so you think that kind of thoughts your station or his image and i do think you probably wants to distance himself to some degree the flip side of that of course is that the movement itself is not terribly partisan among the protesters that i've spoken to she would call themselves kind of loyal steadfast democrats so i'm not sure tha

distanced himself around the occupy wall street movement well you know certainly he has just as tom morello said he's facing the kind of thoughts of the cation of his image and i do think it probably wants to distance himself to some degree the flip side of that of course is that the movement itself is not terribly partisan most of the protesters that i've spoken to a few would call themselves loyal steadfast democrats so i'm not sure that the movement is as readily co-opted pull some ability. and but what about the fact that you know these protesters a lot of them are young and obama. he won the youth vote so do you think that it would be his advantage too to listen up and say to pay more attention to these protesters i think it's the it's to the advantage of the country and the entire leap from left to right to pay attention to these issues i mean these are the real issues that are facing main street americans in terms of you know their economic security these are these are important issues and we have an economic crisis in the middle class in this country and it's it's absolutely in ever

supposed to see part of what david banner looks like there a lot of talk news issues out there here tom morello the former guitarist for rage against the machine was there to. yeah he actually showed up last week in los angeles and end up coming down tonight to show to show his support and really person when we spoke to him he said that you know he doesn't feel like these folks are going anywhere because this is the general problems of the processing against the corruption within the system is just so immense that the only thing to do is to camp out to make your voice heard not to work within the political system in fact one of the things that we asked him about it when you get a speech to protesters he said that obama will not have the courage to hold a wall street accountable for their crimes well we asked him to explain what he means and here's a little bit of that interview for you. people can no longer afford to keep their homes that's a crime while the bankers who torpedoed the the wall street melt the sense that originally torpedoed the economy goes unaccounted for those are huge economi

this one once again and tom morello. this tree stump really. didn't pull i'm. sure you please or gently or. the kids running. this. kind. of. billion years or banker or. it's not a five. month old little bunny to run. i wonder who can be bought. out some might find their sheep. some stronger than they are. i'll stand or fall right here. below if i could. because the low. low. as tom are taking the lead there are protests and i alway history being made by the ninety nine percent what do you think county. i first of all i don't consider him a serious person he's a socialist he's a communist is the guy who thinks che guevara was a good guy it's important to remember that che guevara was a murderer and that communism is for fools it is the great lie told over and over again and repeated to other fools who want to believe the lie do i think occupy wall street is going to make history i'll leave that for the history books but if they continue to push forth a violence name if they continue to throw paint to police then they continue to have these incursions with these

that was rage against the machine guitarist tom morello taking questions from people including our very own lucy calf and off was that on the ground for us they a night really bring us the latest in pictures and interviews from occupy wall street lucy is also a master tweeter but so many updates throughout every day about what she is seeing and hearing at occupy wall street if you want to keep an eye on it you should definitely follow her on twitter at lucy catherine off. and with this group of people loud and angry making demands it didn't take long before the comparisons began between the occupiers and the tea party we've been comparing and contrasting for a few days now on r.t. and thought bill maher made some interesting points the other night on the rachel maddow show check this out the tea party movement let's remember star is sort of started out as protesting some of the same things met with the bailouts of the banks they didn't like the big banks it just shows how easily the people in the tea party could be herded to something else they were sort of on the same page as these fol

earlier, tom morello entertained the crowd. >> the chp is investigating a fatal crash at 880 that blocked lanes in both directions for nearly three hours this morning. chp says the initial crash was minor, no injuries, then some good samaritans stopped to try to help. they wound up being injured when a car slammed into theirs. one woman died at the scene. officers couldn't say how many others were injured but several were rushed to several local hospitals. >> at least two small earthquakes rattled the bay area overnight, aftershocks to a pair of stronger quakes on thursday. first one hit after midnight, 2.8 followed by a 2.5 at 12:45. people from vallejo to sunnyvale and san francisco to concord said they felt the shalk go. the pair of earthquakes of 3.8 and 4.0 were centered on the hayward fault. >> you can find a guide and earthquake tracker by visiting our website at abc7news.com. >>> in san jose a suspect in the suspect in the shooting death of a hells angers jell is alive and on the run. ruiz is the suspect and homicide investors say tru his life may be in danger. a hells angel was k
