thanks a lot. "cashin' in" starts right now. >> your crew this week, welcome everybody. protesters taking to the streets of new york city as a grand jury decides not to indict a police officer for the death of an unarmed suspect. and here's the president's plan to help prevent this, spend $75 million in taxpayer money to cover half the cost of body cams for cops across the country. michelle, we're seeing video of eric garners arrest and still we saw the video and it didn't help in his death. >> the president is doing what he does best, taking hard earned taxpayer dollars and throwing it at the problem. body cams sound good but they don't always work. we have footage and it didn't change what happened. you're getting one perspective, the police officer. this may work against the citizen because now they have evidence showing their behavior, whereas you're not seeing the behavior of the police officer in that sort of exchange. >> let me go to my libertarian expert. i like the body cams. it removes the doubt in a lot of instances. you can see what's really going on and maybe cops and or suspects will act better if they know they're on camera. your thoughts? >> well, local polices decisions should be made at a local level. sometimes a story, even a horrific story is just a story. it's not a trend that necessitates the huge response. there is no epidemic of police violence in america. what there is racial opportunists who jump in to seize the opportunity to denounce america, to denounce american justice and they use emotion as the tool. we've got to do something. how many bad ideas have been started because of exactly that phrase. >> what are your thoughts on the body cam for cops? and frankly jonathan point out, oncare if it's in this case, if the states decide to do it local, law enforcement decide to do it or if the fed says every cop has to have a body cam. >> we don't know if there's an epidemic of violence of police officers against citizens because frankly no one in the country keeps a record on that. that's one problem. i don't have a problem with body cams, but i think to michelle's earlier point, i don't know how much it's going to change the outcome. we saw that eric garn erp and we saw that with roddy king. we had a lot of video on that and look at what happened with those officers. i think it's a good idea but i don't think it addresses the core problem between the relationship between the cops and the community. that is what needs to be addressed. >> wayne, i think the president asked for $260 million for body cams, literally billions of dollars are spent on other things, we could tie some loose ends up and find that money in a heart beat. what do you think of the spending on body cams for the c cops? >> this is not going to change anything. it didn't change the grand jury one iota. you can have all of the cameras in the world and spend all of the money you want and it's going to change. you should spend the money in the police and the community relations part. and if you're going to spend it out all, that's where it needs to be spent. >> i just think this whole suggestion that there's this inherent distrust between communities and police, i think that's that racial opportunism we alluded to. in the police officers are concerned about keeping the americans safe, what about the american being held by islamist. there is an objective threat. >> name to me any person that's not african american or latino that's not being choked out on the street. >> there is no evidence that this was a racial situation. >> really? i have never heard of a situation -- >> even garner's daughter said this is not about race. >> it disproportionately about race. >> we have a video. that video shows that it's not race. >> because there are police officers who are white and black that stood around and watched that man die. the racial element comes in because no other community experiences this other than communities -- >> let me get these guys in here. i h tell you, michelle is right, eric garner's daughter said race had nothing to do in eric garner's death. no matter where you side on this, jonathan, let me bring this to you. mayor de blasio literally pointed the finger at race. saying with eric garn ears death was a result of centuries of racism that caused his death rather than bad police procedure of a chokehold. >> i mean this is a terrible situation, i'm not glossing over the horror. and maybe in this instance there was a police mall fees sense. but to spin it into a trend that america is inherently racist, that any one community is -- >> wow. that's interesting >> i want to say, if you want to talking about community being target targeted, what about the business community. >> ki go back to four little girls bombed in the south, and to ferguson. there is no racial element to it. >> this is an issue of the government and people. let's talk about why this even happened. this happened because the government has police officers going after people for selling cigarettes. they're criminalizing behavior that should not be criminal at all. >> if you want to talk about -- allow me. i'm sorry. michelle brings up a very good point. this man died because he was selling a loosey, a single cigarette for a buck. that's why he died. you can sell and buy a single can of beer for a buck. but you can't do it for a cigarette because new york state is cracking down on cigarette sells, illegal cigarette sells. as government, have laws become so onerous that they've got amok and literally killing people in. >> i don't think that's the point here in the since of whether he was selling a cigarette or what he was doing is immaterial. the cops overreacted. they know they overreacted. we've got photographs of it. with we know what happened. >> that's why this confrontation happened. >> there's in question that -- >> police officers don't want to wrestle 300-pound man. >> i think what eric is alluding to -- >> let me get wayne in here. finish your thought. >> it would have happened anyway. in other words it doesn't matter whether it's a cigarette or whether he was selling a beer or not. if the cops were determined to get this guy, as they seemed to have been, that's what would have happened. >> whether it's cigarettes or -- >> it's alluding to this whole source of resources that are devoted to basically nonviolent crimes, not just selling loose cigarettes but drug crimes. if you want to pint out one group in america that is persecuted more than any, it's big business. >> go ahead. >> listen, i agree in that cameras would not have changed the outcome here. but you cannot, you cannot extricate race from this entire conversation. >> you can. you obviously can't. >> there is a history of police brutality in communities of color and no matter where you go you're going to find that and you cannot extricate it from -- >> yes ear going to have to leave it right there. another record on twitter and facebook last week, your guys continue to be the strongest vol social media. your comments reach millions. i just tweeted this. did ferguson grand jury get it right? did new york? both? neither? put your comment there. post your answer ons facebook and twiser. the pope was time's person of the year this year. but look who it could be this year. ferguson looters, arsonists and rioters who destroyed businesses and jobs. if you store your guns properly... so not just anyone can get to them... i'll feel safer when i'm playing outside... safer when walking home... i won't have to tell so many family members, "i'm sorry." i won't hear as many scary stories. or scary news reports. i won't have to hold someone's hand and shout, "you're gonna make it." and i won't have to tell my kids, "this isn't a drill." please... [repeated] do it for us. for us. do it for us. your family, friends and neighbors are all counting on you. never let your gun get into the wrong hands. if you own a firearm... and are not using it... please be responsible and be sure that it's stored in a safe place. remember, always... lock it up. for more information on firearm storage safety visit ncpc.org what's do the american soldier, mark zuckerberg and pop francis have in common? they've been named "time" magazine's person of the year. now this year, ferguson protesters. should people who destroy property be considered for such an honor? >> "time" thinks so. even if the protesters don't make person of the year, they published an article about rioting. public protest means anarchy, blocking traffic and throwing a brick all star bucks, getting arrested, that's considered justice. this whole shut it down, it's celebrating destruction for destruction's sake. they don't want to have the convenience store. they don't want anyone to have it. that the destruction of our age. >> jonathan make as good point. protest is absolutely guarded in the constitution first amendment to the constitution but not ruining people's property and lives and businesses. >> well, that's true. and i think jonathan make as good point in that sense. you can't make the man of the year -- in other words, the criteria for this is who has influenced the news the most. i think the media is probably at fault here. i mean you could make al sharpton the man of the year for god's sake because he's influenced the news. but that's not beneficial to anybody. i think they do a disservice by saying this. and i think jonathan is absolutely right to promote violence and to promote obstruction and things like that that is violent is a bad thing. >> both points are absolutely absurd. let's go back to elementary school vocabulary. protester an looters are not the same thing. i like the fact they're focusing on protesters. it was mult generational and multiethnic. we're talking about real issues we could work on today. and the fact that so many people got blamed -- >> let's define -- >> for -- for being out of touch -- >> help me understand. is throwing a brick at a protest, would you define that as a protest? >> when we talk about protesting, i'm not talking about violence. i'm talking about peaceful demonstrations. looters and protesters are not the same thing. >> here's the problem. "time" literally said let's call it ferguson protest ers. there was a lot of violence and businesses were burned to the ground. michelle, should they incorporate new york in new york has been for the most part a very peaceful protest going on in light of the eric garner case. >> this is why no one reads "time" magazine. these people aren't protester rs. they're criminals. they burned down businesses. i don't think if you talked to the business people they would say these people should be "time" pepper of the year. they're saying these people are good people and we should look up to them and giving them media attention they don't deserve. why not honor a business owner that changed our life. >> you can't equate uber with a protester. it's interesting that as we're talking about protesters, we're not showing images of clergy members and community members that were standing in front of the stores to protect them from looters. >> specifically said ferguson protester es. and the ferguson protesters include the community leaders, the elected officials who were standing in front of the store protecting the property and other people. they were peaceful demonstrators. >> for the most part they were not peaceful. they were burning down -- >> and what is the whole idea of those people engaged in the former protest. the businesses are burning down their evil. but the folks burning down, they're seen as moral. >> how about the moral ground for people that are defacing and burning down property. we're talking about folks that were protesting peacefully and talking about changing institutions. >> go ahead, wayne. >> i was going say, i don't think you can say that his father -- was his father-in-law in law standing up saying burn the [ bleep ] down is a protest. that's inciting a protest. apologizing doesn't change it. >> everybody said that that was wrong. >> that doesn't change it. once the guy has insighted a riot, apologies i don't help you. if you're in a theater and you shout fire in the theater, that's against a supreme court decision. >> that person -- let's pull apart that guy from the majority of people that were there that were protesting peacefully and calling out the department to make changes. >> let's do that. >> and let's hope "time" if they make ferguson protesters the person of the year, they say to protesters with, not the rioters and people who destroyed the business. just as the gas prices are coming up, lawmakers are teaming up to pump up the prices again and get this, they say ronald reagan would want it too. ? president needs to go through congress. we'll talk to mississippi governor. do it for the gipper. a democrat and republican using reagan to help push a gas tax hike, suggesting he'd back the plan. americans finally getting some relief at the pump and now they want to squeeze us again. >> americans are already paying on average of almost 50 cents a gallon at the pump. and of course unfortunately i think the republicans are going to go for this whole infrastructure spending m iningy because it's make work jobs to try to create jobs. what's disappointing is, quote, privatizing infrastructure is not in our nation's history. it is in our nation's history. if you want to do something that will bring money into the government, you should start privatizing some of these airports and federal highways. >> also, didn't we spend almost $1 trillion on shovel ready infrastructure projects? >> yeah, all that stimulus money. supposed to have shovel ready jobs and a great infrastructure. now they want more money. this is a regressive tax. what this does, it's going to hurt the poor people. the poor people airport going to be able to shoulder the cost. if we need to fix inf infrastructure, let's fix spending somewhere else. >> they sold that stimulus plan. we're going to fix all the roads and bridges. $1 trillion. we spent it. it's gone. a lot of potholes in new york still. >> there is some evidence that stimulus package already worked. do it now when the price of gas is low. if you pegging it to infrastructure, that's sorely needed. infrastructure projects have been a way to increase employment going back to fdr. >> going back to keens this time. >> i think it's worth it. >> because it was prigas prices now is the time to do it, what about when the gas prices go back up? >> the question is, do you need it or don't you. in fact, the first roads in this country were toll roads. you can go back and levy a toll just as easily as a gasoline tax. >> private toll roads. >> all right, i like the idea. privatize the roads too. >> privatize everything. i'm on board with you. i agree with you 100%. >> not the police. >> everything but the military and the police. done. we have a deal. coming up, wake up america, there are consequences from our elected leaders playing the race card and possibly playing us for fools. know about investing. believe in something, buy shares in it, watch it grow. so...what if you could invest in the future? the future of kids? like a stock. not the kind of stock that's about making money. but a stock for social change. a whole new kind of investment called better futures. when you invest, it helps kids go to college. i could be one of the first college graduates from my family. the first philanthropist from my neighborhood. and if i'm the first, then maybe there's a second. and a third. believe in us, invest in us. watch us grow. my name is sydni and i'm your dividend. . i want to say thanks to our "cashing' in" crew for joining us. you can see jonathan's and wayne's stock picks. time to wake up, america. it's been one hell of a week for race in america. the ferguson decision sbasparke riots and mayhem. in new york, officer pantaleo won't stand trial for the cho chokehold he put on a guy that killed him. don't get me wrong, i'm a huge supporter of law enforcement, but that grand jury blew it. no one should die for selling a cigarette for a buck. nobody. protests ensued in new york, missouri and through the country. black leaders were front and center. al sharpton predictably. the new black panther party predictably added fuel to the race fire. they allegedly plotted to assassinate cops. the islam of leader said this. >> we're [ bleep ] this country up. >> that's what the race lobby does. what was surprising was the other, quote, leaders. people who failed to lead own though we watch their games, pay their salaries. the st. louis rams made a mockery of an nfl game. our elected officials made a mockery of the house of representatives. the penn state university president made a mockery of academia. and bill de blasio made a mockery of the office. our president, our attorney general, no help whatsoever. meanwhile, sensible black leaders and athletes like ben carson and chars barkley were largely ignored primarily because they weren't stoking the race flames. race relations in america haven't improved under our first african-american president. am i wrong? i wish i was. that's not racist of me to say. it's just will the world wake up? david: all right. >> hello, i'm gerri wilson. gerri we begin with the computer hacking at sony pictures entertainment. the hacking is believed to be much more damaging and includes the release of tens of thousands of social security numbers of folks including big stars like sylvester stallone for more, entertainment reporter david cap lynn. 47,000 social security numbers. (?) this blows my mind. i can't believe this is happening. how many stars? who were the big named stars with this kind of information being leaked? >> we have people like judd appear to
