list these people occupying slot six through nine you'll notice they all have the same last name walton they are the wall and there's there are six of them and together they're worth more than one hundred billion dollars no that's not an outrageous ransom being demanded by dr evil that's their actual combined well more than one hundred billion dollars they're worth more than forty percent of the nation combined in together they control the wal-mart empire and are the biggest private employers in the world not arkansas about america the largest private employers in the world and today the waltons have a little problem on their hands their employees are getting fed up with being treated like crap and being paid just enough to live a not so comfortable working poor lifestyle so yesterday for the second time in a week those employees went on strike this all started last thursday when about sixty workers walked off the job to protest outside nine stores in southern california and on tuesday this strike spread to a dozen cities across the nation from dallas to seattle chicago to washington d.

walton has been acting as the cio for one year now? two years now which has been a problem and i would have find if we made the acting cio, the cio and that's the mayor's opinion and i think the answer to this is requires further anal scpises require whether the two positions are needed after the new cio is hired and similarly for recommendation number ten which is to amend the administrative code to create separate position of the director of dt pointed to -- appointed by and to the city's cio and same analysis after the new cio is hired. that is in the first phase and now let's go to the second and my apologies for speaking quickly. although address although these bodies address technology on a city wide basis technology is not treated as a distinct organizational entity and i agree. i think it should be treated as a city wide and departmental function and hr function, or the controller's function. some functions need to be centralized and others will always within within their departments. and by the way i just want to deas for memb

shaman walton, [speaker not understood]. just wanted to touch on what supervisor cohen was referring to earlier. in the summer of 2011 ycd was funding from the shipyard project provided a program for rising 10th graders that failed algebra and english during the regular school year. 74 of those students failed both classes. we got 70 them to pass both classes. 58 with a c or higher. this past year working closely with 100% college prep with funding from dcyf, we were able to duplicate the program. this summer at two school sites, wallingberg and thurgood marshall, 102 students, providing tutorial, same exposure, providing the same job skills and life training, step ends for students with similar outcomes. we just got the grade. we're still working on that data. i did present a final supplemental report to dcyf but i didn't bring the report today. but we do have that information as well. the regular basic credit recovery program that niva was probably speaking on from coleman was actually at philip burton the same year we did

sam walton and his brother bud walton, founded wal-mart.heir six children -- actually five children and one daughter-in-law, the six -- these six individuals in the next generation now have more wealth than the bottom 30% of the american people. >> cenk: it's a stunning fact. >> al gore: i'm sure they are good people and all of that. it's not an attack on them but it is a vivid illustration of how our country is getting so unequal. and by the way, the ability of people to go into the stores and buy things and get the economy in healthier shape is severely damaged when all of that wealth is at the top. >> jennifer: what is so interesting to me is the sense of victimization that those who are very wealthy feel about this discussion on the tax policy. and it's not an attack on them. >> eliot: martin wolf said that something that is gaining popularity in europe is a wealth tax. there is a notion that you do have a wealth tax to permit overtime -- >> cenk: i wish them a lot of luck on that. we have about twoing minutes before the debate. i want

and walton from virginia who said he is 91, had this to say. i believe god has spoken. god has given d.c. a washing. it is time to clean up washington. we survived sandy but never lost power. suspect the hurricane was not natural but hot air from all of those political candidates running for office. well, craig, that would explain some things and it would comfort us with the idea that maybe we won't see anything like this again for another 4 years. and finally, a hearty note of thanks from bruce in crownsville, maryland. i found that i tuned straight to channel 9 to learn first- hand about the status of sandy through your exceptional coverage of the hurricane and the impact around our area. i appreciated the live on-scene telecasts for the reporters there to bring us immediate coverage of the storms as they crossedded through the washington metro area. please express my gratitude to your staff for a job well done. well consider gratitude expressed. and to you for so many kind words. frankly, going all hands on deck like that when disaster strikes and keeping you informe

walton to be replaced as city cio and director of dt. that was a very strong recommendation. that was not something that i took lightly and apparently something that shocked a number of people and the responses speak on to that. i believe that position, head of dt, collaborative and build trust and if that happens those things will work better and the things run by the department will also work better and there will be that understanding developed but i don't think that's there now and i think that's the root of a lot of what you just talked about. i think coit itself meds to be more functional and really set policy and review policy for the city in terms of it, not just get reports after the fact of things that happened, deadlines that slipd, budgets that slipped and as a final example dt put out rfp for telecomaudit for the city's voice line. i don't believe coit knows about that. i don't know where that was in the budget. i believe there is city staff that could perform that function and ask them why don't they know where the phone lines are and i hope this gets better and

been listening and watching to reminds me so often of when i go for a walk by myself around isaac walton or in our local forest preserve, and no one's with me, but i'm just feeling myself and what's around and communing with nature, i guess. >> yes. yes. >> it's a very healing force. i mean, people say, well, why do you want to live in mccomb, out in the middle of nowhere, but there's a peace that comes to that. i mean, one of my peak experiences that i do regularly is there's a beautiful, beautiful hilly park with a lake in the middle out there, and because there's no people in western illinois anyway, there's nobody in the park. and so, i'm running all these trails, and it's like being inside of nature, just totally connected in the running, in the movement, in the air, the earth - all the elements are right there, and it's very renewing, it really is. and these kinds of experiences are - they're lost on us, and even if you live in the country, there's that element in the urban atmosphere that draws us away, either through tv or whatever. yeah, warren? >> i was thinking of a psychologi

at our last time we were at select committee i believe sherman walton spoke to that and we would like to do something similar targeting specific groups of students and provide them the extra support that. is what we're planning on doing for the spring semester. finally in terms of immediate actions we want to make sure that we're keeping everybody updated and that we're being transparent and we have regular public report-outs. our next presentation is is at our school board curriculum committee on november 5th and we're happy to come back to select committee or any other venues that you feel is appropriate and helpful to continue a regular dialogue and status update on that. so i will go for questions right now. >> commissioner fewer. >> thank you, janet. i have a question. are these online options, other classes or uc-approved? >> yes. it's a combination. so the only online provider that is crucially uc-approved is cyberhigh. and it's the one that is -- >> the most boring. >> the driest or most boring. there are other ones that are in the process of being uc-approved and can count fo

you don't usually get soldiers that speak out about a plan, and there was a captain, captain walton,who basically knew, and like other members in oda3336, knew there were flaws in the plan. you don't fight uphill, you try to have the elements of surprise. tactically, he knew it was unsound. he took the concerns to his commanders, and his commanders -- it was real important to do the mission. it was a really bad guy. he helped finance his men by this gem smuggling operation, and, in fact, what they later found out through the fbi and cia was that some of the gems showed up in, you know, in arizona. he was selling the gems to finance his whole, you know, his whole campaign, and, again, going back to the valley, captain and others on the team knew tactically the plan was flawed. even though they knew that it was gnawed, knew there was uncredible danger, landing the helicopter at the bottom of the valley, climb to the top of the mountain where the compound where he was vonned by some of the -- surrounded by some of the best mercenaries in the world, these really trained mercenaries, figh

your criteria for success is a corporation that has generated twenty seven billion dollars for jim walton and roughly equal amounts for his five siblings on the other hand if your criteria for success is a broad and strong american middle class like we had in the fifty's sixty's and seventy's when the top tax rate was was you know seventy four percent then no wal-mart's been a complete it but there were wiping out entire communities small businesses that want to be able to pay good but tom are you going to beat up nancy pelosi because of her wealth are you going to beat up john kerry because of what i think that there's a reasonable question to be asked which is the question the republican teddy roosevelt was asking which is what point is enough. well i know well let's shift somebody have a billion dollars two billion let's take a liability list of twenty seven billion the it was released today that between taxes and chartable contributions he gives fifty five percent of his income oh nonsense oh absolutely absolutely so you'll find that a lot of these people are some of our biggest chart

million work weeks to accumulate as much wealth as just one of the wal-mart areas for example tim walton is worth twenty seven billion card check would help tremendously in the effort to unionize wal-mart and if the world's largest employer could be unionized than any corporation can card check if it were passed into law would be one of the best tools we the people have to take on the corporate state look it up learn about it and get active. and that's the way it is tonight thursday october eighteenth two thousand and twelve for more information any of the stories we've covered visit our website to tom hartman dot com free speech dot org and. if you missed anything i'd show you can now watch an h.d. of hulu at hulu dot com slash the big picture also check out our two youtube channel is there a link to thom hartmann dot com also thom hartmann dot com check out all the different ways you can send us your feedback and don't forget them ocracy begins when you get out there get i could tag your it see her. story. download the official. language stream quality and enjoy your favorites. to watc

>> sam walton went to the japanese just in time delivery model.rooms in wal-mart, very little supply. they copied the wal-mart model. the stores can't restock. the wear houses are 150-300 miles away. as you and dennis reported, you can't fly in commercial freight. you can't ship to the ports. yesterday, there were thousands of people looking to buy, but there were no bags in man halten or northern boulevard in long island. they streamed out of st. patrick's cathedral because there were no stores to go to. as a result -- cheryl: that hurts the bottom line. one of the thing that target did which was interesting, there was days to prepare for this. target got as many as supplies they could into the region aleast to get ahead of the storm. are they the true winner? >> they are. it's going to be wal-mart's worst nightmare. costco and the major supermarket chains, shop right, supervalue, struggling, were preparedded, fully stocked. the stores had inventory. those will win. as you said, when your present point with the generators, so many people doing th

the net worth of the walton family, not the tv folks is equal to that of the bottom 30% of the country. one family has the same wealth about a third of all the people in america. the 1986 reform law did work to make the code somewhat more progressive. by among other steps reducing the tax preference for investment income. but subsequent changes to the code in particular the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts undid that work. the capital gains rate was reduced all the way to 15% giving a large advantage to those in the highest brackets. so high income earners also gain the most from president bush across the board rate cuts. according to the tax policy center, last year the bush tax cuts increased after -- after tax incomes for people making over $1 million by an average of 6.2%. that's about $129 a household but for those with incomes between $40,000 and $50,000 the increase was 2.2%. over time, our tax code has wydened the nation's wealth gap. reversing this trend ought to be a top goal of tax reform. at a minimum we certainly should not make the tax code any less progressive than it would be if

fein, rebecca mercer, bill walton.g to think brent for his quarter century of work, his vision, his dedication. this is someone that works as hard today 25 years later, when most of us would be coasting. he works harder today than he did when he first started this organization. so, to brent bozell, one last thing. he is our friend and i'm proud to call him my friend. cheers, brent bozell. [cheers and applause] [inaudible conversations] >> okay, and two more interruptions before i'm allowed to finish? .so touching and that is so happy. well, let me thank the people i have to thank. our presenters, laura ingraham, stephen hayes, jonah goldberg, you have my deepest gratitude. orson bean, alley mills, you are such wonderful people for coming. my thanks. finally, to the acceptor spanner tonight, reince priebus, marjorie dannenfelser, it's absolutely you be honored at the sacrifices you make and continue to make on behalf of our cause, our country. we are when you're dead. no pastor. i am not really in your debt. i don't wan

>> guest: a lot of studies, but what i mentioned in particular come from a book by thomas and walton who are pro-racial preference, wrote a deep scholarly book called "no longer separate but not yet equal" in 2009. >> host: do you have thoughts on this? >> guest: yeah, sure. you know, the completion that mr. taylor reaches in saying that these gaps are due to affirmative action is where i think there's -- where we disagree. there is some studies that dispute the conclusion that was reached, and specially, there's no evidence that there's a positive link between affirmative action and these items. for instance, if african-american students are admitted to law school and subs -- subsequently fail the bar, we don't know why. we don't know if they were admitted into a law school that's theoretically too difficult for them or an elite law school which is the theory offered by mr. taylor or for whatever reason. maybe they are not good at test taking, never were, or something was going on in their lives, or, you know, stereotype threat, or other issues that come up for people so i guess the

fine, rebecca mercer, ambassador kurt windsor, bill walton.one last thing, and that is you should all have some champagne and ask you to prize -- rise and just join with the board and join with the staff of the mrc to thank brent for his quarter century of work, his vision, his dedication. this is someone that works as hard today 25 years later when most of us would be coasting, and he works harder today than he did when he first started this organization. so to brent bozell, one last thing. he's our friend, and i'm proud to call him my friend. cheers, brent bozell. [cheers and applause] [inaudible conversations] >> okay. any more interruptions before i'm allowed to finish? that's so touching. that is -- and that's so heavy. well, let me, let me thank the people i have to thank, our presenters, laura ingraham, steve hayes, jonah goldberg. you have my deepest gratitude. [applause] cal thomas, you have my deepest respect. orson bean, ali mills, thank you. you are so wonderful people for coming, my thanks. finally, to the acceptors that we honore

according to a 2011 study, the net worth of the walton family, not the tv folks, is equal to the bottom 30% of the country. one family has the same well as 1/3 of all the people in america. the 1986 reform law actually did work to make the code somewhat more progressive. it reduced the tax preference for investment encompass some. subsequent changes to the code, in particular the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and did that work. the capital gains rate was reduced all the way to 15% giving a large advantage to those in the highest bracket. high-income earners also gained the most from president bush across the board tax rate cuts. according to the tax policy center, last year, the bush tax cut increased after-tax incomes for people making over $1 million by an average of 6.2%. that is about 120 to die now -- about $129,000 per household. the increase was only 2.2% for those earning $50,000. over time, our tax code has widened the nation's wealth gap. reversing this trend should be a top goal of tax reform. at a minimum, we certainly should not make the tax code and a less progressive than it wou

the speaker pro tempore: the prayer will be offered by our guest chaplain, the reverend andrew waltonm the capitol hill presbyterian church from washington, d.c. the chaplain: let us pray. god of the universe, known by many names and worshiped in numerous ways, yet present in common experiences of life, we come in thanks and gratitude for the gift of democratic process. with which the members of this body are elected to serve by representing the particular needs of their communities as well as the common good of the nation. in this season of discernment and decision, may all who are involved in the electoral process from candidates to campaign staffs to voters, to poll workers be filled with shared imagination. collective wisdom, and mutual compassion that transcend self-interest, personal gain, and individual pride. may we ultimately find peace, rest, and hope not in institutional systems but in the sure knowledge of proeffectic words that the arc of the universe not only bends toward justice but does so guided by the spirit of love that sustains and binds creation itself. amen. the

they are not walton fox or msnbc so much of the chatter that is going on is going past the people thatcause they are not watching rachel and sean hannity. that's not where the independence, moderates, undecided voters live. >> if i'm pronouncing the name correctly he wrote about the way the narrative changes -- basically reporters to give the devil and write their stories. >> it's like a bird on a telephone line when one takes off the all fly away. >> obama gets out there and he describes romney for getting his past positions and if you perceive him as winning or losing it is an embarrassing sign of desperation and colors once independent voters get around it is the color that they get. >> are they getting the news by watching something on saturday night live? a great arbiter now we're a lot of folks are very passive and i completely agree with charlie you are all wonderful people but no one in this room is normal, right? [laughter] including people on this panel we discussed how many minutes talking about the possibility of a popular electoral votes. how many times have people actuall
