their anger is here to stay. >> the protestors mark their 2-month anniversary with disruptive rallies and hundreds of arrests across the country. it's friday, november 18th. it's friday. >> can't you tell. >> good morning, i'm sunny hostin. >> and i'm rob nelson. everyday commuters had a hassle getting to work or home, the occupy wall street goal to shut down streets even bridges. hundreds of arrests nationwide. most here in new york. another combative day. >> that's right. also this morning, tough questions for gop presidential candidate newt gingrich. he is doing his best not to answer them. gingrich received nearly $2 million from controversial mortgage giant freddie mac. will he ever offer a full explanation? >> he talked a lot of trash about that. he will have to answer that. $2 million. a lot for a consulting fee. later this half-hour, scientists

have opened up literally a can of worms. they say the secret to living longer may be found in worms, believe it or not. pretty serious discovery. we'll explain the impact coming up later on. people love stories about the secret to life and longevity. >> worm thing has got me already. >> freaked out. >> first, occupy protest in portland, oregon turned violent overnight. police used pepper spray to control the crowd. nearly 50 people were arrested. >> protests across the country closed down streets. tied up traffic. wabc's correspondent reports now from new york. >> reporter: when the occupy wall street crowds filled lower manhattan, thousands in support of the movement brought with them the sights and sound of a protest trying to send a message. but the message, the music and chanting sent surrounding neighborhoods is not one some who live here are embracing. >> reporter: they're not fans of

occupy wall street because the protest is destroying their 16-week-old baby's sleep pattern. >> our baby is not in support of the occupy wall street movement. >> reporter: occupy wall street day of action forced police to shut down roads and that led to traffic jams in spots. those who left their cars at home in favor of public transportation walked up on subway stations shut down and sealed off during the protest. some, businesses closed their doors as well. christine gaze who lives in tribeca says she has seen enough. >> it's been an inconvenience from the start today, seems to be, reaching a little bit more fever pitch. so i'm hoping they go home. >> reporter: they haven't all gone home. some protestors have moved south of here. two months after the protests began, occupy wall streeters will tell you they planned this day of action as a sign that they're not going anywhere anytime soon.

as you know the story goes way beyond new york. hundreds of protestors marched through chicago's downtown streets and rallied along a chicago river bridge and stopped traffic, for an hour and a half. sorry, half an hour. 46 people sat down on the span. police led them away without handcuffing them. it issued citations and eventually let them go. on top of that. protestors in seattle marched in the rain and freezing temperatures, gathered at university bridge at rush hour to call for more government funding for infrastructure projects. police escorted protestors away and surprisingly there were no arrests. >> it seems that the protestor are rather organized. what is the message? we know abc's dan harris interviewed protestors and asked what their concrete message is. answers were all over the place. >> in his report he showed a number of signs in terms of what people were protesting against varied from one thing to

another. there was no cohesive message. give them credit for hanging in there. at the two month mark. >> a lot of young people. i like that. as you mention so many people have been apathetic, but not now. >> they're getting into it. democracy in action. a nuisance but democracy in action. >> that's right. well another college coach accused of sex abuse. espn reports that syracuse assistant basketball coach, bernie fine has been suspended after a 39-year-old man's complaint. the former team ball boy, claims fine molested him in the 80s and 90s. he says he told police in 2003, but they said too much time had passed. university administrators say they found no proof of abuse when they investigated. the sex abuse scandal at penn state could grow even bigger. legal analysts predict the number of alleged victim s could top 100 or more. that is staggering. they say jerry sandusky's denial

that he never did anything wrong, persuaded more young men to come forward. the university board of trustees has now hired a high-powered law firm in anticipation of potential lawsuits. an idaho man has now been charged with trying to assassinate president obama. oscar romero ortega hernandez appeared in court. and documents indicate hernandez thought he was jesus and mr. obama was the antichrist. arrested in pennsylvania after police say he fired a semiautomatic weapon at ththe white house. security threats have led herman cain to ask for protection from the secret service. the first republican candidate to get secret service protection during the campaign season. secret service regularly guards each party presidential nominee and can be provided earlier if the department of homeland security gives it the green light. things have gotten testy with people, approaching cain, and his folks shoving back at reporters. >> he's still in it. interestingly enough. wasn't long ago, former house speaker, newt gingrich's

presidential campaign was written off for dead. >> despite a surge in the polls he is facing scrutiny and difficult questions as well. abc's karen travers is in washington now with details. good morning to you, karen. >> reporter: good morning. newt gingrich's experience in washington is one of the reasons republican voters like him. but there is a fine line between experience and being an insider. and gingrich's work for freddie mac may be a tough pill for conservatives to swallow. just two days ago, it didn't the headlines about gingrich focused on his dramatic comeback in the polls, but it didn't take long for the scrutiny to set in. during the height of the housing boom and bust, gingrich received $2 million as a consultant for freddie mac, the government backed mortgage giant. gingrich told abc news he had no comment. >> the answer is no. >> any comment at all? >> none. >> reporter: earlier, gingrich tried to do damage control. he said he did no lobbying and was paid for advice as an

historian. >> they paid a fee which is a relatively standard washington fee for that kind of advice. >> reporter: he later said the fees were not out of the ordinary. >> i was approached to offer strategic advice. i was glad to offer strategic advice. >> reporter: freddie mac isn't a standard issue for voters. especially conservatives. the mortgage company received a taxpayer bailout in 2008, $54 billion, bigger than any wall street bank. freddie mac made so many risky loans it was on the verge of collapse. the issue could pose a significant credibility problem for the former house speaker. >> it will be tough to turn this into a positive. you can't be the insider, outsiders. right now support from the tea party and conservative voters. there is a fine line between being understanding washington and being part of washington. >> just last month, gingrich said top democrats should be

prosecuted for their ties to freddie mac. now he has to explain his own. rob, sunny? >> apparent hypocrisy. you can, pull the trigger, democrats. >> and attacks, people affiliations with freddie mac and he's apparently made $1.8 million from the company. >> on the payroll. and tiffany's, $500,000 at tiffany's. >> living frugally. he had saved up for the shopping spree. he has the to explain that. >> he has to explain that. should learn from the tiffany's situation. you are running for president, people are going to examine every dime. see how that plays out. all right, switching gears now. forecasters are confirming what people in the southeast already believe. several tornados did in fact touchdown when the deadly storm system tore across the southeast on wednesday. the death toll is now up to six people. dozens more were injured. the devastation stretches from louisiana through the carolinas. and so extensive. damage estimates are still being calculated. sunny, dry conditions in the northeast should help clean-up efforts. in the northwest, a big storm
