mr. schultz joining the board and not working in tandem with the current management team is a clear positivethey are shedding more assets and name three well china operations as well as in europe and lastly i would say it's terrific vendor support which continues unabated. >> hey, allen, i have a question for you. i was reading a competitor's note and one stat stuck with me that best buy gets every year a billion visitors to their online site and they're only able to convert 1.3% and what sort of leverage does best buy have in terms of conversion rates and how much do you think same-store sales can be lifted that best buy can put into place, possibly? >> you're right. the numbers are staggering. 1 billion eyeballs go on the best buy site a year. 600 million people walk through the doors of a best buy store annually. quite frankly, best buy has done a poor job of converting those people. what we have said and you're right, 1.3% conversion rate to earmark that against competitor, amazon has a 4% conversion rate. for every 1% that best buy have on conversion rates you're talking about an increm

mr. romney's true feelings about half the population, a bartender at the event, was given an exclusive interview to my colleague, ed schultznted his words to go out. and everybody could make a judgment based on his words and his words alone. the guy was running for the presidency. and these were his core beliefs. and i think, you know, everybody can judge whether, you know, that's appropriate or not or they believe the same things he does. but i felt then an obligation to expose the things that he was saying. >> joining us now is msnbc's finest defensive lineman, ed schultz. >> not linebacker? >> you're much more a forceful and attacking player. congratulations, first of all, on the scoop. it's big. was this man motivated by a partisan desire to undermine mitt romney. >> you would think so. absolutely not. >> absolutely not? >> it would fit the mold of someone, oh, i got him. >> right. >> this is so far from that. this is a worker. this is somebody who pays attention to the news a little bit. obviously was paying a little bit more attention to it because of the election cycle. and was going to be exposed to one of the two
