New York Observer Exclusive Occupy Wall Street Unaired Fo

TRANSCRIPT

Fox: Jesse, so Ray, your partner here, your ..

Ray: comrade.

Fox: Your colleague, she'd seen the protests in Greece and Europe and elsewhere. Did you guys take your cue from that? Are you hoping to cite certainly what was a lot of the tension, if not police activity. I know over the weekend there were over 100 arrests and you guys got things fired up. Are you taking your cues from the international movement and how do you want to see this? If you could have it in a perfect way, how would it be?

Jesse: Well I don't know, its really difficult to answer questions leading to those conclusions. I'd say that we didn't take our cue leading off of anybody really. It became a more spontaneous movement. As far as seeing this end, I wouldn't like to see this end. I would like to see the conversation continue. This is what we should have been talking about in 2008 when the economy collapsed. We basically patched a hole on the tire and said let the car keep rolling. Unfortunately it's fun to talk to the propaganda machine and the media especially conservative media networks such as yourself, because we find that we cant get conversations for the department of Justice's ongoing investigation of News Corporation, for which you are an employee. But we can certainly ask questions like you know, why are the poor engaging in class warfare? After 30 years of having our living standards decrease while the wealthiest 1% have had it better than ever, I think it's time for some maybe, I don't know, participation in our democracy that isn't funded by news cameras and gentlemen such as yourself.

Fox: But, uh, yeah well, let me give you this challenge Jesse.

Jesse: Sure.

Fox: We're here giving you an opportunity on the record [...] to put any
message you want out there, to give you fair coverage and I'm not
going to in any way

Jesse: That's awesome!

Fox:...give you advice about it. So, there is an exception in the case, because you wouldn't be able to get your message out there without us.

Jesse: No, surely, I mean, take for instance when Glenn Beck was doing his protest and he called the President, uh, a person who hates white people and white culture. That was a low moment in Americans' history and you guys kinda had a big part in it. So, I'm glad to see you coming around and kind of paying attention to what the other 99 percent of Americans are paying attention to, as opposed to the far-right fringe, who who would just love to destroy the middle class entirely.

Fox: Alright, fair enough. You have a voice, an important reason to criticize myself, my company and anyone else. But, let me ask you that, in fairness, does this administration, President Obama, have any criticism as to the the financial situation the country's in...?

Jesse: I think, myself, uh, as well as many other people, would like to see a little but more economic justice or social justice—Jesus stuff—as far as feeding the poor, healthcare for the sick. You know, I find it really entertaining that people like to hold the Bill of Rights up while they're screaming at gay soldiers, but they just can't wrap their heads around the idea that a for-profit healthcare system doesn't work. So, let's just look at it like this, if we want the President to do more, let's talk to him on a level that actually reaches people, instead of asking for his birth certificate and wasting time with total nonsense like Solyndra.

Now that is fair and balanced. Fox can take a cue!

@MrFireballbren And how many billions do we waste every year on contractors in the military? And how many billions do we not receive because of the tax loopholes the rich get to sneak through? And how many billions do we waste in oil subsidies each year? Half a billion dollars compared to just these 3 things, are you kidding me? Are you for real?

@soccerman0303 Thats Ryan Dunn from jackass without a beard.. Look it up and you will see.. spread the word and Thumbs up

[soccerman0303]

@Event762 You're right about everything except you underestimate the media's power. They really do control what we see and how we see things by the way it is portrayed by them.

[soccerman0303]

They are protesting simply to protest. There is no end goal in mind, or a mission they are trying to achieve. They are simply bringing about chaos which is the last thing we need right now

[soccerman0303]

That guy is obviously paid to be there. He did nothing except attack the right side and say things that everybody would agree to. He uses big words that a lot of people do not completely understand and the fact of the matter is he has no answer to the reporters question. They asked him what do you want to see changed, or what would your perfect world be. He had no answer, instead he goes on to insult the big corporations, and uses his one chance to be on TV to bash fox news.

What a patriot. Jesse knows his shit. I love how he called out the single greatest propaganda agenda driven machine Fox (almost) News and threw all their bullshit in the reporters face. And on top of that he was wearing a civil war hat.

[Event762]

@Dex1n Look man, things change in this country through elections. We are not going to stand up for, or get behind some eat the rich, redistribution of wealth, bullshit. The problem begins and ends with WASHINGTON. We need to elect leaders who will 1) Ban ALL political contributions. 2) Ban ALL Unions and Lobbysts. 3) Support Term Limits, meaning no elected official can serve more than 5 years in office. 4) Make the federal government small. 5) Throw out the Tax Code in support of a flat Tax.

[Event762]

DEFINE IRONY: Bunch of idiots using capitalist pig corporations like GOOGLE, FACEBOOK and TWITTER to promote their hardcore anti-capitalist movement. No wonder no one takes you serious. But I will admit, it is somewhat amusing.

[MrClaydough]

@Event762 Your brain seems to be a major problem. If you had another brain it would be lonely. You should sue your brain for nonsupport. Then go find that hamster....it has left the cage.

Of course...'THE WAY WE ELECT OFFICIALS WITH LOBBIED MONEY LIKE 'WHORES AND PIMPS' IS NUMERO UNO PROBLEM'. You're not going to make parties go away...so STFU! We need a 4th party to the left as Teatards are to the right. Get it..got it...good. I hate teatards that play your game. EXPLAIN...to the good folks.

[MrClaydough]

@Event762 Voting is great! Obviously...it is not 'washing and cleansing' our system, You're brain is twisted and your a 'closet Teatard'/waste of time. 'Bachmann Homo U'...would better serve you, as I am out of resources for one so 'unread and uneducated'. YOU DON'T VOTE OUT R'S AND D'S DIPWAD. Pull Alein butt plug from bunghole...re-assimilate. Set the fuck down and read, or maybe just take a shot of 'FRESH AIR'....smells good huh? THATS DEMOCRACY HITTING YOU RIGHT IN THE KISSER...heh heh
