On Monday night’s broadcast of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” filmmaker Michael Moore discussed his take on the anti-banker and Wall Street protests.

Moore said. “People who have lost their homes, the 50 million who don’t have health insurance, all of the disparate groups of people who have been affected by the greed on Wall Street, they have had it. And I will tell you, President Obama — he would be smart right now to not just give another speech but actually have his Justice Department either have a special prosecutor or investigation and go after the people that stole this money. The people want a perp walk. They want to see people led away in handcuffs with a coat over the head and because that’s going to be some form of justice.”

Moore spoke to Olbermann at length:

Olbermann: "Figuratively, where does it (Occupy Wall Street) go from here, do you think? Based upon your experience and what you've seen in your three trips down there."

Michael Moore: "I think that, not only is this going to continue, these cities that you mentioned. This is what is so wonderful about this. There really isn't anything driving this other than what Wall Street has done and what those who are in charge of our economy have done. They weren't just happy enough with multi-billions, they wanted tens of hundreds of billions, maybe even trillions, so --"

Olbermann: "Kleptomania."

Moore: "They're kleptomaniacs, is what they are. They're out of control. I think there is some sort of sociopathic illness and they know what us to life in a kleptocracy. Where the kleptomaniacs run the show. This is going to spread. I said this last week, I said it two weeks ago when I first spoke with you. And the mainstream media was trying to pooh-pooh this, 'oh it's just a feud down there, don't worry.' Well what happened Saturday, not just here, but as you said in Boston, LA, in Chicago and elsewhere."
