walmart will have a grocery store. if we talk about the health care crisis we need good food and make itable -- it affordable. >>> and this will give thousands of residents of newark their first full service grocery store. we will go back to the jobs picture. walmart is going to eliminate 250 local existing jobs and replace them with 200 new retail jobs it is a job killer. that is a good thing . it is only by killing jobs that innovator like sam walton did more with less. that's what the standard of living is about. >> i love the way bill baldwin plays pool. the fact is, that some unions that are really against walmart are using the issue to hide their own sins, right? >> unions are keeping scores. food worker's union that is trying to unionize walmart so corrupted andismanaged their symptom they needed workers to keep their own pensions afloat. their pension is in crisis . kick, y can shake your head. but your head as much as you want. the government's own filing show they are 40 or 50 percent underfunded and the unio

his latest piece on the fire at walmart supplier in bangladesh is called, "as walmart makes safety vowseen as obstacle to change." steve greenhouse, welcome to "democracy now!" lay at your findings. what most surprised you? >> i worked with the reporter and we found several surprising revelations in investigating walmart's relationship with this tazreen factory. first, we obtained a series of inspection reports that showed over nearly a year, walmart suppliers continue doing work in this country even though it was found to have many serious safety problems. each report found a lack of fire extinguishers, several found a lack of smoke detectors, lack of fire alarms. each report found partially blocked access to exit routes. one of the big revelations we found in our investigative report was bad one of the main monitoring companies, inspection companies for walmart, in mid we don't even check whether factories have emergency exits, fire escapes or fire-proof smoke-proof enclosed stair cases. this factory did not have outdoor fire escapes or enclosed staircase is breed three staircases lea

tonight, walmart with that bold promise.ional $50 billion in goods to sell, made in america over the next decade. it comes after years of criticism that walmart doesn't pay enough in wages and that the company sells too many products overseas. critics arguing that's how they keep their prices so low. we asked walmart shoppers to check the labels today. it didn't take long. maria small and her new blouse -- >> made in china. >> reporter: this couple and their new stool. >> made in china. >> reporter: but today, walmart u.s. was adamant, saying two-thirds of what it sells in america is sourced right here in america. and they're now promising more. maria, still searching that cart, did find something. >> this one is made in the usa. >> reporter: and that promise of 50 billion more spent? >> they could spend that $50 billion the first year, they could create as much as 170,000 jobs in the united states. >> reporter: he says they'll likely spread that money out, over the next decade, but they'll still be creating thousands of job

you know, walmart is getting praise and criticism for this big announcement. it sounds like a great deal but keep in mine, walmart will get big tax breaks and critics say what they are offering won't necessarily get vets back on their feet. call it a campaign for good will. in addition to touting everyday low prices, walmart is now offering jobs to veterans. >> i think this is really good news. >> reporter: lance frederick of the department of veterans affairs reiterates the sentiments. veterans make hard working loyal employees but he is concerned about the caveat to hire any honorably discharged veteran. it only applies within one year of active duty. >> i think that's unfortunate that they limit it like that. >> reporter: he says most vets first want to take advantage of the free education offered through the g.i. bill. after three or four years, you might have a vet who is now educated and ready to enter the workforce. >> certainly. when they come back you're a little out of sync with the civilian population it takes a while to get back into the swing of t

let's see if walmart can help you find the same look for less. okay. see? these leading eyewear brands and styles. rockstar! really? yeah. oh, wow! oh, black frame looks good on you. yeah? you can get a complete pair starting at just -- $38. really?! and did you know that our glasses come with a free 12-month replacement guarantee? i didn't know walmart had all this. the price is impressive, the quality is too! come to walmart and see for yourself. find rollbacks on the contact lenses you want. like the acuvue oasys -- now $27.88. walmart. >> the ducks, nationally ranked for the first time since december of 07. they win today, they take sole possession of first place in the pac 12. ucla trying to stay put, 5-0 in conference play. >> doug: of course, ucla has to head on the road next with arizona and arizona state. you don't want to allow oregon to beat you twice, but arizona is good enough. leaves you a two-game losing streak if you can't pull something out of your had. >> spero: and ben howland takes on the arizona wildcats thursday night. foul charged to

exposure to walmart during the whole crisis last year so i'm not a great fan of walmart because i wouldre possible, but i think if you're worried about the drop, walmart is rarely going to hurt you. >> zachary, let me jump in here, and you did say you can't own everything. i will say this. technically when 85% of the s&p are above their 50-day moving average i want to make surety stocks i own are above the 50-day moving average and right now walmart is no. take a look at target. direct competitor to walmart. look at that chart. you saw what they said about the risk with amazon and the low-cost pricing that they are going to be trying to compete with amazon. look at that chart compared to walmart. both look the same, very tone and downside risk outweighs upside potential here. >> on the target walmart thinking, target is more specialized, somewhat more volatile name and idea. walmart to me is more like owning a staple in a space that will continue to have decent business trends. >> all right, guys. we'll leave it there. we'll watch this story. it's a good one. zach, j.c., scott, over to

retail giant walmart was also invited but walmart is not going to show up. in a statement walmart said "we were invited to attend the meeting on thursday, and we had scheduling conflicts. we're going to continue to stay engaged in this topic going forward." cnn reached out to walmart this morning, and it said, not attending the meeting "should not be interpreted as a slight or a diss." walmart would not confirm reports they're the largest retailer of the world's guns and ammunition, even though they had $44 billion in total sales last year alone. christine romans joins us now, so i don't know, it's mind boggling no one from walmart would bother to go to this meeting and that they won't release their sales figures on guns, why? what's the reason behind that? >> let me take the second part of that first. they don't release their product breakouts for any individual category, they will not release how many guns or how many ammo they sell every year but it's clear, carol, they are a world leader in selling everything, so industry analysts say they are likely the

>> i hope walmart will ultimately take change. hope so. >> reporter: and there were a number of people here who had never taken part in any sort of a protest before. but they felt very strongly about it. one person who has been directly touched by gun violence, lori haas, and your daughter was shot during virginia tech. you came here to send a message to walmart. >> take as sougsault weapons ofr shelves. we want them to be a partner in making our communities safer. we want assault weapons designed for the military to kill as many people as quickly as possible off their shelves. nationwide. we want them to be a partner in our effort to make our communities free from gun violence. >> it's interesting because back in 2004, walmart did agree to not sell these sort of assault weapons, but then in 2011, they thought it was good for business. what does that say? >> i find it offensive, the notion that we are allowing these into our communities, it's not safe, and the american people don't want it. poll after poll. and we deserve to give

but walmart is by far the largest. one out of every three grocery dollars goes to walmart. the walmart heirs have more or wealth than the bottom 40% of all americans. if we wonder why they have a lot of of clout and political power. so these really big multi-nationals use this political and economic power to basically dictate food and farm policy. they speak with one voice x they decide -- and they decide what the pesticide regulations should be, what nutrition labeling is. every aspect of our food system. and they've partnered, of course, with the biotech industry which has also become so powerful that it can basically buy public policy. at food and water watch, we did a report last year on the biotech industry. turns out there are a hundred biotech companies lobbying full time, and of those they've hired 13 former members of congress and 300 former staffers of the white house and congress. so the biotechnology industry has, they have a lot of clout. and walmart and monsanto are really partnering up in some ways. one of the ways was recently with engineered, or genetically

are you confident this could actually help walmart? >> it's hard for anything to move the needle when you that big. i own walmart. you know, i feel like at this price -- it's worth owning. i hope that moves the needle but i don't know. >> yeah, i think it's -- i mean, she made a great case but it's hard to say that if somebody is coming in to buy a cell phone, that's a one-time purchase, a loaf of bread, clearly, is more than that. >> three times a week sometimes. >> exactly, depending on what you're cooking. i don't know. i'd be a little skeptical this would be, as karen said, move the needle for walmart. >> i think deborah is probably, and this is her sector and she knows it, but she's drilling almost too deep. i think they're going to benefit from mobile proliferation in general. i think the kindle continues to make advances both in its product line but its geographies and this is where amazon is posing significant competition for walmart. >> okay, coming up next, following the latest developments out of the yahoo! earnings call. pl

. >> jennifer: today walmart did just that.giant announced that it would hire over 100,000 veterans over the next five years. 100,000. walmart's ceo who spent 25 years in the u.s. navy himself said the company would give a job to any veteran who wants one up to a year after being honorably discharged. he said it's time for those outside of politics to get to work. the beauty of the private sector is that we don't have to win an election, convince cross or pass a bill to do what we think is right. hallelujah. very good point. but some well mart workers is really sure that walmart is doing the right thing. one employee is a navy vet who is now a part of the walmart workforce said you're still subject to extremely low wages poor benefits, if that's the best that's available for veterans, then there's something wrong. now we've talked on this show about the problematic way that walmart treats its employees but in this case i would like to applaud them for doing the right thing. i would like to bring. anthony pike, we should mention

people are buying guns at walmart. they're buying guns at walmart.t joe biden is proposing and what he wants to talk to walmart about is putting better, more strict background checks, not only on walmart but on the gun shows and dealers in those areas which, in the end, would be good for walmart. >> bill: two quick things. i love the fact, the headline on politico this morning okay. expectations low for biden nra talks. yeah no kidding as if the nra is going to budge at all. more important thing i think is major garrett reported, our friend major garrett on cbs that the things that the biden task force so far are look at are reasonable measures, one renewing the assault weapons ban and adding a ban on the multi-- >> peter: the multiple rounds of ammo. >> bill: then closing the gun check loopholes so you have a check not only at gun stores but at gun shows and one on one sales and that kind of stuff. maybe doing something about a federal buyback program. that's worked at some cities and some states. >> peter: they did it in los angeles. someone brough

we asked walmart shoppers to check the labels.'t take long. >> made in china. >> reporter: this couple and their new stool. >> made in china. >> reporter: but walmart u.s. was adamant saying two-thirds of what it sells in america is sourced right here in america. they're now promising more. maria still searching that cart did find something. >> this one is made in the usa. >> reporter: and that promise of $50 billion more spent -- >> they could spend that $50 billion the first year. they could create as much as 170,000 jobs in the united states. >> reporter: they'll likely spread that money out over the next decade, but they'll still be creating thousands of jobs. it's now a big name behind a big trend. companies suddenly arguing the manufacturing overseas doesn't always add up anymore. apple revealing some of its mac computers will soon say "made in america." looking at factories in europe and asia, choosing upstate new york. l >> labor costs in asia are rising. the equation is changing. >> reporter: but we wanted proof. american

walmart looks like a bully. technically right, but prices change every two sends, and it just seems unfair. it seems like a bait and switch. the problem walmart has says, they're the a hundred pound gorilla. everyone knows they are. they're held to higher standards. they cannot seem like a bully. melissa: but does that stake? at thing people at home, they're bu picking up kids from school, finishing the christmas list. there not watching. you see it go by, see the price comparison. and they assembled for free. the impression is that they're cheaper, and that's what really sticks. >> the problem is the bestbuy and toys r us are getting all of this great publici. there is news generated by those companies going to attorneys general asking for government officials to say what walmart is doing is unfair. when you're in business is now like a political campaign where you have to get enough votes to win on tuesday and then you can relax. you're in it for the long term. walmart wants to be around not by tuesday electio

it's kind of interesting what happened with walmart. essentially, they had pointed out that they had already had a meeting at the white house with the vice president and his group this week. and i checked with the white house, and they confirmed that, in fact, they had a phone meeting with them. so some sort of a phone conference call. but no face-to-face meeting. and what walmart was explaining is that the point people that they have who would be attending a meeting like this were busy at a meeting in arkansas, and that's why they could not make it. but it was certainly a pr problem for them. a lot of raised eyebrows that they would not be sending one here. and then they did that reversial, saying that, you know, it wasn't a diss, in their words, of the white house, it wasn't a, quote, slight, but that they had a conflict in the scheduling. well, they reversed and are now sending someone to that meeting that will be taking place here at the white house. >> and then what about the president in all of this? it seemed by the very quickly

walmart's not going to ban all guns.inistration's not going to ask him to do that. >> you're right. absolutely right. walmart is thought of as this conservative company. but as you know, larry, big business tends to benefit from regulation. and, in fact, walmart already complies with bloomberg's. he has this thing where walmart is already voluntarily complying with onerous regulations voluntarily. so if they were -- let's just pie in the sky here. let's say they came out in favor of closing the gun loophole. that means i couldn't sell you a gun, for example. individuals can't sell guns because we can't do background checks. that would favor a company like walmart aus tensively. this happened with obama care. they got pharma onboard, pharma spent $75 million pushing for obama care. if they could get big business onboard with this given the red state credibility that walmart has, it would be a huge win if they can pull it off. >> leave it there, thanks very much. we're going to keep an eye on the walmart story. back to our

retail giant walmart made that huge commitment today to get returning vets back to work. critics say the hiring push gets tax breaks for walmart but does little to help veterans get back on their feet. here's cbs 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts. >> reporter: call it a campaign for good will. in addition to touting everydie low prices, walmart is now offering jobs to veterans. >> i think this is really good news. >> reporter: lance frederick of the department of veterans afares reiterates the sentiments of walmart's ceo: veterans make hard working loyal employees but he is concerned about the caveat in the offer to hire any honorably discharged veteran within onier of active doubt. >> that's unfortunate that they limit it like that. >> reporter: he says most vets want to take advantage of the free education offered by the g.i. bill. after three or four years you might have a vet ready to enter the workforce. >> certainly. when you come back you're a little out of sync with the civilian population. it takes a while to get back into the swing of things. now they are rea

i think the most important meeting is not the nra, it is walmart, walmart is the potential problem, why? they have an economic incentive to end the gun show loophole so people buy their guns at walmart. and if walmart gets behind the idea of saying that all guns have to be sold in a place where you can actually have a background check like walmart, that is a powerful ally for the president. >> you actually wrote a piece looking at the second amendment arguing that it is not quite what people think. >> well, it changed dramatically. you know, for a hundred years the idea that the second amendment gave anyone, an individual, a right to bear arms what as chief just berger said, was a law. they started making the argument that second amendment does -- that it was only militias. and in 2008, the supreme court agreed. they said yes, you do have an individual right. now the extent of that right has not been clarified. justice scalia says that individuals can have handguns in the home. but can they have them outside the home? can they have bigger weapons or concealed carry laws? those are still

for a big retailer like walmart, you know, firearms, first of all, they don't sell handguns.y because of the public sentiment against the particular form of fireman. for a company the size of walmart's broad, frankly geographic platform, there aren't that significant -- they're not that significant a source of sales and profits. >> but the sporting rifles like the ones at newtown -- it's interesting because i hoped to interviewer the president of walmart about this. they were making some other initiatives, talks about -- about hiring veterans and some -- they knew i would ask about guns and they weren't really interested in sitting down and talking about guns. nice to see you, wedbush securities. >> thank you. >>> coming up, you've been saving diligently for your children's education, a golder ticket to a college education. i'll tell you how your kids can guarantee a return on that investment. oh! oh! ♪ what do you know? oh! ♪ bacon? -oh! -oh! oh!

if you can regulate walmart's competitors out of business you help walmart and get walmart support andrt to join on the obamacare idea of making employers pay for health care because walmart knows it could a lower price for the same health-care than any competitor could. they wanted the regulation to hit smaller competitors harder so why not get walmart in this? stuart: i understand walmart will meet with eric holder, not necessarily with the joe biden series of meetings. did we get into that? >> i don't read anything into that. i was very surprised. i saw the joe biden move and walmart move as part of the same effort by the white house to make sure they're gun control push didn't look like some elitist east coast's liberal thing and was more we do understand read america and the south and rural america and reaching out to joe biden and wal-mart was important. holder doesn't come from that part of the democratic party. that makes it more confusing for me. i don't have any insight for you there. stuart: i want your opinion on my opinion. i think at at some point president obama will go

why single out walmart? >> well, the bullets that were shot in my chest came from a walmart.h more easily than you can by sudafed or splay cans of paint. so it just makes sense that we need to rethink this and really it's a family friendly store. it's not a place for assault rifles. there is no place in our society for assault rifles. >> lori, your daughter also was shot at virginia tech. tell me how important do you think legislation is going to get passed? >> yes, i absolutely do. i think the time is thousand. the time has been now for a long time. we see these mass shootings, almost all of them take place with a high capacities magazine. and assault weapon. those military grade weapons designed for one person. people killing. and now they're killing our children. and we must stop this. all communities deserve to be safe from gun violence. all communities. >> lori, pam, roxana, thank you so much. again, a small group behind me, because very determined group. they want to make sure that something positive comes from all the tragedies that have been going on throughout the co
