After showing a report on this past weekends Occupy Wall Street protests which took place around the world the Al Jazeera presenter Mike Hanna opens the discussion by saying the movement has no coherent message even though their anger is directed at the various governments which tax payer money to bail out the banks and other financial institutions. While ignoring the fact that millions of people lost their jobs, savings and pension plans all because of Wall Street greed.
The two guests invited to discuss the lack of message are Sam Bowman Head of Research at the Adam Smith Institute (Adam Smith: The God of the 1%.) and Charlie Wolf an American Conservative living in London who writes who writes for the British Tabloid The Daily Mail. Charlie Wolf starts his commentary of the Occupy Wall Street protesters by calling them useful idiots. Through the program all work quite hard to paint those involved as whiners, slackers, losers and unwilling to simply get a job.
