""Not being here and watching from afar what took place here was really horrifying -- to see this, in this country. ... I think all of us want to send our best wishes, our prayers, our good karma, everything that we can muster to Scott so that he is better and well. ...

This movement has no spokesperson
3402 0:03 - 0:06

Everyone here is a spokesperson
6358 0:06 - 0:15

Everyone here has a story to tell
15471 0:15 - 0:18

There are people here who have no health insurance
17942 0:18 - 0:21

There are people here who do not have a job
21025 0:21 - 0:25

There are people here who are living in poverty
25070 0:25 - 0:33

There are people here who have jobs but have been told to take less
32942 0:33 - 0:49

And I invite you to interview the thousands of other spokespeople who are here at Occupy Oakland
48693 0:49 - 0:55

Someone asked me who is the leader of this organisation
54942 0:55 - 1:00

And I said we are the leaders!
59943 1:00 - 1:03

Everyone here!
63137 1:03 - 1:07

We are all leaders all of us
67204 1:07 - 1:12

We are all doing this together
72205 1:12 - 1:17

The media and the power establishment
77276 1:17 - 1:25

Is having a hard time figuring this out, so be patient with them
84538 1:25 - 1:31

They are used to just a few people showing up with a few signs, and then they go away
90693 1:31 - 1:40

And have a meeting in the basement of the unitarian church - good bless the unitarians by the way
100337 1:40 - 1:50

Those in charge in this country and the media arm of Wall Street and corporate America were not prepared
110203 1:50 - 1:54

for this to be happening in hundreds of cities across
113806 1:54 - 1:58

this country right now! Hundreds!
118069 1:58 - 2:08

And it has happened with no leaders, no organisation
128276 2:08 - 2:15

No dues to pay, it's happened organically
135359 2:15 - 2:17

From the grass roots, the true grass roots
137470 2:17 - 2:23

And in my lifetime, I have never seen a movement like this
142859 2:23 - 2:30

Take off this fast, with this many people all across the country
149536 2:30 - 2:32

Thank you everyone
151676 2:32 - 2:34

All of us for doing this
154269 2:34 - 2:44

And there's no turning back is there? There's no turning back!
163671 2:44 - 2:48

I was at occupy wall street last night in the park
167536 2:48 - 2:56

And I am here to bring greetings from the original occupy wall street
176404 2:56 - 3:02

Thank you Oakland!
181669 3:02 - 3:09

I said what are we going to do with winter coming?
189276 3:09 - 3:13

It was also freezing rain last night in New York City! I said what are we going to do
193277 3:13 - 3:17

with winter coming and they said, there's two guys over there right now
197470 3:17 - 3:20

who have flown in from occupy
200005 3:20 - 3:37

and they are here to consult with us on how to make it through the winter
216693 3:37 - 3:43

They said there's even an ice company in New Jersey that is offering
223276 3:43 - 3:51

large blocks of ice to build igloos in the park
230869 3:51 - 3:55

The mayor and the police in Wall Street are hoping that the winter
235403 3:55 - 4:01

will kill the movement
241069 4:01 - 4:06

In the same way they don't understand that this is a leaderless organisation
245537 4:06 - 4:08

With tens of millions of spokespeople
248276 4:08 - 4:10

They also don't understand
250405 4:10 - 4:20

That weather is not the problem facing us right now
259537 4:20 - 4:24

Climate change is facing us!
263803 4:24 - 4:25

But the weather in New York
265337 4:25 - 4:29

is not going to stop this incredible movement
268609 4:29 - 4:33

Let me just give you an idea, because I've been travelling the country
273138 4:33 - 4:40

what I've seen, there's a town about maybe a hundred and fifty miles east of here
279669 4:40 - 4:42

called Grass Valley California
282404 4:42 - 4:46

are you familiar with it?
286003 4:46 - 4:46

Where the hell is Grass Valley right?
286275 4:46 - 4:47

No I know where it is
292869 4:53 - 4:56

But nobody across the country knows
296358 4:56 - 4:59

Grass Valley
298538 4:59 - 5:04

And of course, the media doesn't know Grass Valley
303538 5:04 - 5:08

But last weekend, in Grass Valley, there were four hundred people
308360 5:08 - 5:12

Participating in Occupy Grass Valley
312137 5:12 - 5:14

Four hundred people!
314471 5:14 - 5:23

There's only a few thousand people in the town!
323138 5:23 - 5:26

And everyone was there
326346 5:26 - 5:30

Old young out of work
330205 5:30 - 5:33

People with work
332872 5:33 - 5:37

Those strats of American society is at each of these
337469 5:37 - 5:40

You can see it right now, I can see it! I am sitting looking at the mosaic
339603 5:40 - 5:49

That this country is right now right here in Oakland
349470 5:49 - 5:56

This is - we'll get the cameras to turn around here
356070 5:56 - 5:58

You know I don't understand it either
358270 5:58 - 6:03

I've wondered this for a long time and I've tried to explain to them that
363090 6:03 - 6:07

This is not what people want to look at when they're eating dinner and watching the 6 o'clock news
367341 6:07 - 6:17

So I'm sorry for this
376680 6:17 - 6:23

But I'm good and healthy and
382508 6:23 - 6:32

I'm now in my tenth month with no red meat!
392091 6:32 - 6:41

And that will on by the evening news
401269 6:41 - 6:47

Now this is the first of these that I've spoken at where there's an amplified sound system
406937 6:47 - 7:02

What laws are we breaking here right now? A lot of laws!
423174 7:03 - 7:13

The mayor is having a press conference right now, upstairs
432757 7:13 - 7:20

I sent her an email asking if we could speak while I was here
439841 7:20 - 7:23

But I have to tell you, the other night, well Tuesday
442938 7:23 - 7:29

and Wednesday night, not being here and watching from afar
449321 7:29 - 7:35

What took place here, was really horrifying
454937 7:35 - 7:39

To see this, in this country
459004 7:39 - 7:48

It made the rest of the people in the USA aware of something many of you had been aware of
468468 7:48 - 7:50

For the last decade
470269 7:50 - 8:01

And that is the militarisation of our local police departments
480937 8:01 - 8:06

The Congress is not allowed to tell the public how much is spent on homeland security
485869 8:06 - 8:10

But these local police departments all across the country, over the last ten years
490080 8:10 - 8:14

Have sucked up literally billions of dollars to buy
494138 8:14 - 8:19

Sophisticated equipment to buy armurements that you use in a war zone
499270 8:19 - 8:25

To buy tanks, to set up spying systems
505003 8:25 - 8:28

Yes, we paid for this
508004 8:28 - 8:36

And to prepare for what they believe is the inevitable
516070 8:36 - 8:42

Which is the people sooner or later aren't going to take it any longer
522403 8:42 - 9:04

And ten years after 9/11, the majority of Americans realise who the real terrorists are
543905 9:04 - 9:09

They're the people who create policies and
548669 9:09 - 9:13

Do things that literally do kill people
552905 9:13 - 9:20

For instance, a congressionnal committee last month released these figures
559822 9:20 - 9:24

They wanted to find out how many Americans die every year
564405 9:24 - 9:27

Simply for the fact that they don't have health insurance
567405 9:27 - 9:31

They didn't go to the doctor cause they didn't have insurance
570558 9:31 - 9:39

Nearly 45 000 Americans die every year simply because they don't have insurance
579225 9:39 - 9:45

My friends that is fifteen 9/11s every single year
585338 9:45 - 9:54

A system that is set up to harm them
594475 9:54 - 10:00

Who said that it is morally correct to make a profit
599536 10:00 - 10:03

Off people when they get sick?
603057 10:03 - 10:13

How sick is that?
613224 10:13 - 10:19

I can tell you how much money
618670 10:19 - 10:25

Has corporate America made from these two wars, these two illegal and immoral wars
625271 10:25 - 10:30

How much have they made? We are still spending over two billion dollars
630475 10:30 - 10:32

A week on these wars
632474 10:32 - 10:36

What could we do with that money if it was here in Oakland?
635538 10:36 - 10:43

And Flent Michigan and across the country?
645939 10:46 - 10:49

Somebody asked me, coming in here,
649005 10:49 - 10:58

Who organised this?
657642 10:58 - 11:06

I know you think we the people organised it, right?
665605 11:06 - 11:14

Where's Wells Fargo? I just passed it on the street.
673817 11:14 - 11:15

If you wanna know who organised it, they organised it
675307 11:15 - 11:20

The people of Wall Street organised this!
679557 11:20 - 11:26

Bank of America organised this! Exxon Mobile, BP organised this!
686070 11:26 - 11:31

They did more by simply putting their boot on the necks
691155 11:31 - 11:34

Of millions of Americans
693936 11:34 - 11:36

And like any human being
695809 11:36 - 11:40

How long can you keep a boot on your neck?
700406 11:40 - 11:46

Not one more second with a boot on the neck!
719136 11:59 - 12:04

I know, he said it's Oakland style - we're doing this Oakland style
736139 12:16 - 12:23

Let me tell you something else I've discovered across the country
743472 12:23 - 12:30

That is America contrary to what many here believe and the way it is portrayed in the media
749736 12:30 - 12:33

America is not a conservative country
752622 12:33 - 12:35

Most Americans are actually quite liberal
754950 12:35 - 12:39

in their beliefs. They do not call themselves liberals
759069 12:39 - 12:43

But if you look at any of the polls, the majority of Americans
763366 12:43 - 12:47

come down on the liberal side of the issue on just about every single issue
767282 12:47 - 12:50

The majority of Americans are against these wars
769618 12:50 - 12:54

The majority of Americans want universal health care
773700 12:54 - 12:58

The majority of Americans believe women should be paid the same as men
778283 12:58 - 13:07

The majority of Americans want stronger environmental laws, not weaker ones
786604 13:07 - 13:10

And for the first time last month, in a poll that was taken
790282 13:10 - 13:15

For the first time, 54%, the majority of Americans
794603 13:15 - 13:18

Said they believe gay marriage should be the law of the land
798070 13:18 - 13:24

That's the country you live in!
803783 13:24 - 13:36

That's the country you live in, I know to people in the Bay area it may seem a little scary as you head towards Richmond
816372 13:36 - 13:39

Did I pick the right town?
822469 13:42 - 13:44

I need another town
828004 13:48 - 13:51

As you heard, Walnut Creek!
835949 13:56 - 14:02

I was just trying to remember bird stops
846619 14:07 - 14:14

But as you go across this country you see that that's the country
854136 14:14 - 14:19

You share, the people out there, that's why 72%
858868 14:19 - 14:22

last week said they believe taxes should be raised on the rich
861699 14:22 - 14:23

So to the media who are here, this is a few thousand people
871431 14:31 - 14:39

But everybody here represents a few thousands more, or a few ten thousands more
879016 14:39 - 14:42

Everybody here, that's how large this is
882204 14:42 - 14:45

That's why it can't be stopped
884537 14:45 - 14:48

Too many people have been thrown out of their homes
887536 14:48 - 14:52

Too many people have had their schools decimated
891537 14:52 - 14:59

Too many kids aren't getting a proper education
903804 15:04 - 15:09

It benefits those in charge to have an ignorant population
909359 15:09 - 15:14

To have a population with 40 million people who cannot read and write
913681 15:14 - 15:15

Above a fourth grade level
915180 15:15 - 15:18

Who benefits from that?
917872 15:18 - 15:21

It's like they've set up the schools now to make sure
921300 15:21 - 15:26

That you can operate the cash register at McDonald's, and you know how to greet someone
925668 15:26 - 15:30

In a sentence with a noun and verb in it as they come to Walmart
931269 15:31 - 15:34

Let me tell you who does know
933869 15:34 - 15:36

That the people of this country have had it
936180 15:36 - 15:39

And that there's a very progressive threat
938605 15:39 - 15:41

Going through this country right now
941204 15:41 - 15:45

That's the other side - Wall Street, corporate America, the right wing
945347 15:45 - 15:49

They know, they know this is a liberal country
949432 15:49 - 15:57

All you have to do is turn on the radio or Fox News
957097 15:57 - 16:03

Let me ask you this, if was a conservative right wing country, if you turned on Fox News every night
963430 16:03 - 16:09

Wouldn't they just be "Yippidee doo da, yippidee do day"
968680 16:09 - 16:10

They're not that way are they?
970403 16:10 - 16:17

They're like "Rarara" every night it's "RaaaA"
978348 16:18 - 16:27

They're just - they - there's a reason why they want to suppress the vote next year
987003 16:27 - 16:30

There's a reason why they're passing laws through-out the country
990015 16:30 - 16:35

To make it harder for poor people for senior citizens for people of color to vote
995203 16:35 - 16:38

There's a reason they're doing that
997536 16:38 - 16:42

What's the reason? They know!
1001937 16:42 - 16:44

No it's very simple
1003937 16:44 - 16:50

They can do math, they know they're in the minority
1010153 16:50 - 16:53

Otherwise why would you want to suppress the vote
1013014 16:53 - 16:56

If you thought America agreed with you?
1015803 16:56 - 16:58

You wouldn't do that would you?
1017802 16:58 - 17:03

No! If you believed America was with you
1022602 17:03 - 17:12

You'd be setting up voting booths in every aisle of every Walmart all across the country
1032350 17:12 - 17:16

That's not what they're doing!
1036202 17:16 - 17:23

I also want to tell you, especially those of you who have been camping out here
1043172 17:23 - 17:31

Thank you for doing that
1051270 17:31 - 17:36

You are better men and women than I am
1055813 17:36 - 17:39

Give me another year without the red meat
1058538 17:39 - 17:43

Wait we've got our second sound bite
1062563 17:43 - 17:53

But watching the other night - Scott Olsen
1077073 17:57 - 18:06

It is absolutely criminal that this young man was willing
1085890 18:06 - 18:14

To go risk his life in a war that he once over there didn't agree with
1094022 18:14 - 18:19

That he would risk his life like this
1098739 18:19 - 18:31

And the only place he had to worry about was here, his own country, in Oakland California
1112037 18:32 - 18:37

I think one thing we could do for the media who are here
1116954 18:37 - 18:42

Is let them know that we are all Scott Olsen
1122411 18:42 - 18:44

We are all with Scott Olsen
1124204 18:44 - 18:54

And we are all Scott Olsens
1133537 18:54 - 18:59

And we will not tolerate our fellow citizens being treated that way
1139336 18:59 - 19:03

By the people that we fund with our tax dollars
1142871 19:03 - 19:13

I don't pay people to take a gun or a tear gas gun and point it at me
1153231 19:13 - 19:19

And hit me in the head with their ammunition or the tear gas cannister
1162939 19:23 - 19:26

That would be as crazy as me coming up to you right now
1166470 19:26 - 19:32

And saying to you oh by the way, would you just punch me in the face?
1172422 19:32 - 19:36

Why would I do that?
1177148 19:37 - 19:43

I think all of us want to send our best wishes, our prayers, our good karma
1182603 19:43 - 19:45

Everything that we can muster
1184804 19:45 - 19:49

To Scott, so that he is better, and well
1189205 19:49 - 20:10

And I think that - let's have thirty seconds of silence in honor of Scott Olsen
1210148 20:10 - 20:15

And our hope that he will recover quickly from his injuries
1214738 20:15 - 20:23

I've gone on too long and I - well
1224255 20:24 - 20:26

But I -
1226099 20:26 - 20:39

I know, now that I have singled out Richmond
1239008 20:39 - 20:48

I'm going to have to go and participate in Occupy Richmond
1250337 20:50 - 20:54

Or Walnut Creek
1254137 20:54 - 21:00

Walnut creek is where we need to be right?
1260026 21:00 - 21:05

Isn't that where the money is?
1272588 21:13 - 21:24

I understand that the mayor is finishing up her press conference
1283891 21:24 - 21:28

And I am gonna try and see if I can talk to her
1288415 21:28 - 21:41

You know, I'm sorry that when she came yesterday to talk, that she didn't wait to speak at the general assembly
1301470 21:41 - 21:51

Because I think - there's a process
1310901 21:51 - 21:54

We're not in a general assembly right now, but there's a process at the general assembly
1314404 21:54 - 21:59

Where you sign up to speak and we're all equals and so
1319405 21:59 - 22:06

You know, when I've been down - You know I've been down in New York to Occupy Wall Street
1325975 22:06 - 22:08

And if I'm number 17 to speak
1327973 22:08 - 22:13

I'm number 17 to speak and it doesn't matter if I'm Michael Moore or Michael Schmow you know
1333156 22:13 - 22:18

It doesn't - and it's the spirit
1338403 22:18 - 22:21

That's why this movement has built
1340669 22:21 - 22:23

Because it is a movement of equals
1343078 22:23 - 22:24

Everybody has something to give to this
1344402 22:24 - 22:28

We're all in this together - we're gonna sink or swim together
1348410 22:28 - 22:32

That's our choice right now
1355307 22:35 - 22:41

When they - when I was out last night, somebody asked to one of the people in the media tent
1361141 22:41 - 22:43

What are the goals?
1362810 22:43 - 22:45

What are you trying to accomplish?
1365420 22:45 - 22:52

And he said, well, he said our mission is in our name
1372284 22:52 - 22:54

Occupy Wall Street
1373793 22:54 - 22:58

And then he said: period.
1377608 22:58 - 23:00

I thought about that for a second
1379829 23:00 - 23:02

Occupy Wall Street Period
1381912 23:02 - 23:06

In other words, it isn't just about decent campments
1385661 23:06 - 23:09

It's that we're not stopping until we the people
1389492 23:09 - 23:14

Occupy our economy that runs this country
1394226 23:14 - 23:18

This is our economy, it's our country
1397536 23:18 - 23:26

We're the ones that have a say
1405606 23:26 - 23:36

And when somebody says to me, what's the goal, what's the end game?
1415670 23:36 - 23:39

I say well let me tell you something, first of all
1419357 23:39 - 23:44

We've already had a number of victories in our first six weeks
1424069 23:44 - 23:47

And let's acknowledge those victories
1426603 23:47 - 23:53

Number 1, we have killed despair across the country
1432942 23:53 - 23:59

The despair that people were feeling, that dispair
1438536 23:59 - 24:03

is dissipating right now
1443276 24:03 - 24:08

This movement has killed apathy
1447734 24:08 - 24:11

People have gotten up off the sofa
1450536 24:11 - 24:14

They've turned off Dancing with the Stars
1453706 24:14 - 24:17

And are out in the streets
1456537 24:17 - 24:21

This is a victory
1460551 24:21 - 24:26

There's something very important we've done: six weeks ago
1465735 24:26 - 24:27

What was all the media talking about?
1467359 24:27 - 24:36

What was the national discussion that we were part of that they determined?
1475852 24:36 - 24:38

What were we talking about?
1477863 24:38 - 24:41

The debt ceiling! The debt! The debt ceiling!
1481277 24:41 - 24:47

The deficit! We gotta reduce the deficit!
1486605 24:47 - 24:49

Over and over and over all summer long
1488811 24:49 - 24:53

The debt ceiling, the deficit, the debt ceiling, the deficit!
1492759 24:53 - 24:56

Can I ask you honestly, when's the last time in the last few weeks
1495814 24:56 - 25:05

You heard them talking about the debt ceiling? Or the deficit?
1504891 25:05 - 25:12

This movement has shut down that bullshit discussion
1516736 25:17 - 25:21

That is a huge victory
1521270 25:21 - 25:25

You have altered the national discussion
1525254 25:25 - 25:29

You have altered it!
1528760 25:29 - 25:34

This is what people are talking about in every town and city and village across America!
1534415 25:34 - 25:38

Occupy Oakland! Occupy New York! Occupy San Francisco!
1538017 25:38 - 25:43

Occupy Grass Valley! Occupy Walnut Creek!
1542559 25:43 - 25:47

Occupy Flint Michigan! Occupy everywhere!
1546776 25:47 - 26:01

This is the discussion we're gonna have and we're not (sic) the discussion to anybody else!
1560691 26:01 - 26:04

So, in conclusion,
1579187 26:19 - 26:24

Did you just yell at a disabled guy to move his cane?
1585364 26:25 - 26:30

They don't me there were plants here from the police - plain clothes
1589604 26:30 - 26:37

Plain clothes officer, let me just remind you, when you yell too loud at a disabled person
1597279 26:37 - 26:40

"Put down the cane" - we know who you are!
1600205 26:40 - 26:42

But welcome!
1602203 26:42 - 26:49

Welcome! Because, police officers, you are part of the 99% too!
1608853 26:49 - 26:51

They'll be coming after you!
1610937 26:51 - 26:58

They'll be coming after you and your home and your healthcare and your children
1620233 27:00 - 27:08

There's a number of towns across this country
1627937 27:08 - 27:11

that are behaving differently than Oakland
1631294 27:11 - 27:13

There are police departments
1632537 27:13 - 27:23

and police unions - hang on - supporting the occupied movements in their towns
1643150 27:23 - 27:28

New York - a beautiful example - the governor said to remove the people
1647687 27:28 - 27:32

and the police said "We don't consider that part of police work"
1663470 27:43 - 27:48

So the police do have a choice, even in Oakland
1667688 27:48 - 27:49

It's still America!
1669242 27:49 - 27:51

Oakland PD! It's a free country!
1671404 27:51 - 27:57

You can join us! You don't have to join them!
1677025 27:57 - 27:59

You don't have to be here defending Wells Fargo
1679075 27:59 - 28:03

and Bank of America! And BP and everybody else!
1683470 28:03 - 28:07

You can stand up for yourselves and everybody else!
1690770 28:11 - 28:19

So, please keep yourselves alive here, I know there's going to be a lot of snow this winter
