Forget the streets -- occupiers are hitting stores protesters -- one after 100 of the nation's biggest retailers.

As the busy holiday season kicks off and now -- call -- to shut down all West Coast ports.

Two weeks before Christmas.

Wheeler boycott blockade that the economy where her answer will they be the ones to take the hit well hello everybody and show the sunny and -- -- cash and hands.

-- passionate -- this week Wayne Rogers Jonathan Hoenig Tracy Byrnes and John late bill also joining us to -- Fox News contributor in the grades up and all of -- I don't want to start with you they shut down the Oakland port through weeks ago now going after all West Coast ports.

Should we be worried.

About our roving band of thugs -- -- Sheryl I think we should be worried I mean.

Occupy Wall Street.

Operates through thuggery through -- so what does it come down to a bunch of Bandana wearing -- who looms.

Literally disrupting trade disrupting it.

-- gives them mutually beneficial.

Trade the slumping economy couple weeks let me try to shut down in New York Stock Exchange.

It's sad but it's also scary you know half a billion dollars worth of merchandise comes to that sports -- stunts like this cost jobs that -- -- the economy because businesses a lot of money in the process.

-- some might -- with regards to the economy -- West Coast ports last year accounted for more than 500 billion dollars and imports and exports.

That is a bigger piece of the US economy is -- ripe for them to go after those ports.

No and I gave a lot a lot of leeway to these guys my -- -- -- Mohammed Abu Aziz he when he first burned himself in the Tunisian bidder.

-- this entire Arab Spring.

And you wondered where these guys were headed -- they have been hijacked by extremists and are now burning businesses in Oakland they're now going after -- trying to shut down commerce.

This does not affect the original all the original not even know there there the people this gonna affect this gonna affect your average every single day workers this is not about the -- this is not going -- -- them and this is not helping the -- at all there's a bunch of kids out there with -- ipads just warning to protest so they get noticed they've gotten noticed and they disrupt normal everyday lives which is wrong.

Is emitted.

Municipalities across this country is -- -- for them to go after average Americans.

And the economy at the same time.

The reality is -- -- because of the occupied movement there has been more conversation about wealth disparity.

In this country than I've ever seen in my entire life time.

And that's the success they're having so yes if they shut down those ports may make it hard from mother to get a Barbie to -- streaming five year old.

It is going to make a difference it is already changing the conversation from just focusing on our debt crisis and really focusing on the growing income any -- so.

-- disruption.

This created so.

-- many positive things we can look better and that's what they wanna do it -- -- -- -- -- after Amazon AT&T you know going after basic American companies retailers this is the holiday season.

Crucial for the economy crucial for a lot of fans with a lot of kids is that right I think it's totally displaced Sharon look you know it and -- on the brink as it is if I haven't there's going to be a protest down at Toys 'R' Us I'm probably not gonna go there.

So what's happening overall economy is continuing to hurt and get worse.

That is not gonna help these kids that is not help their call -- income inequality.

-- did Justin make it worse.

They don't realize that what they're doing is creating more catastrophe they're not helping the situation at all and I disagree with Gmail and everyone is sick and tiger had knee bone heads.

Go to work already you -- is not -- me at all whatsoever -- the reason they're going after the ports in particular outlet that they and they say it a piece of this is because of what happened over UC Davis about as their point but about the right point to go after.

The economic strength of the entire city California.

One of the problems you know independent Civil Disobedience movement and I think of that as being mostly.

Peaceful you take Martin Luther King -- those kind of things those -- peaceful and Mahatma Gandhi.

This is not this is something that's hurting themselves they're doing something you think that -- for example Puerto Los Angeles last year I think.

Have some like 330 billion dollars worth of goods that pass through that port shutting down a -- hurts them.

It hurts the common man John is right it hurts that it hurts the people but they are trying to help is a flight as it -- -- the point of trying to make a disparity between rich and what.

There in the wrong place they should be in the Washington mall they should be doing this to congress.

That's where the problem is if they took the same amount of energy and -- not to mention this all these people in this energy if they went after jobs and did something constructive.

May be going if they want to do this and civil -- Well I got in front of the congressman's house what I -- there was something the protests who makes the law it's not the people who create -- vote.

The economy that helps people.

But yeah -- -- either going to be -- down and frolic Tracy said Toys 'R' Us and target I mean a little pain is going to create a lot of a little hand artist decorate a lot of data in -- to employ thousands weren't wrong and not all night that boycotts and protests work.

If you put up.

-- pain in the pocket books.

More because the mainstream of America had been is actually participating in the occupied movement right now quite some air station analogy yeah I don't know why that's there -- -- it is -- -- you why is that fair to make average Americans who may be making five bucks an -- Xbox now what do they have to this to -- our.

From the Occupy Wall Street movement how was that -- I'm not necessarily say that it's there and it's something that I personally want but as a tactic it will continue the conversation of the growing.

Disparity between the haves and the have nots in this country in May have done that they have affected -- change that converts.

Until it doesn't matter but I don't have backfired already you hurt middle America you -- the single working mother who's got three jobs and Peter kids.

And nasty senate voted to address to get that one dobbs are you kidding she can't.

You heard turnout and she didn't care about your play anymore she wants you -- -- she can go Christmas shopping.

The whole point is Wall Street has hurt middle America -- we didn't -- middle America behind and -- tactics.

They're going to be able to change stuff and yeah.

What.

Wave riders went right if you've been very quiet which always makes me nervous to have some banana.

-- I I was just gonna say.

I think -- is making the ideological.

Argument about eight the inequality between rich and poor.

You know they're told -- writing an 1831 said.

That Americans and the problem what America is that they would rather be equal.

In slavery that unequaled in freedom and so it's not about -- quality about freedom it's about the ability.

Of people to make a -- but.

And to provide something for the economy for every one.

-- aunts and stunts like this.

Ruined that opportunity stunts like this how many jobs are graded by just rock thing trade.

I mean honestly Jim Lou Nolan prohibiting anyone speech -- make a speech -- An effigy of the baker although I think that's ridiculous but by disrupting train just stopping the mom who Google wants to get her kid a Barbie -- are whenever I mean.

What benefit it's only your celebrity destruction.

-- celebrity wealth destruction the benefit can come from that John light filled you don't let me go ahead.

Look.

What happens -- -- park when they had actual chance to help the poor these kids are sitting there are there I've -- then they're they're PCs in Iraq.

Bags they're sitting there would generators and heard endlessly gbagbo -- and all of a sudden a homeless people show up.

The people that they're supposed to be helping -- -- -- -- my god these -- the cold warlock because we got a kick them out and start protecting the rich again.

We're not -- about the very heavy the people the people who are helping the poor.

Look at Robin Hood to great security in the world -- city is funded by Goldman Sachs and guys like Paul Tudor Jones.

And 1% are the ones helping these four.

Oddly enough Trace -- in the spirit of the holidays a lot of these kids that there's so there with our ipads maybe they were gonna ask for one for the holiday is not about -- iPhone I mean.

I as a holiday shop and I think in spirit of the holidays they should all go home to their families and think twice about what they've been doing has not it has not worked.

All right guys we'll thanks all of you coming up.
