tell you all, but walmart has been good to me. okay? i came here about a year ago. i started off as a customer service cashier, then a sales associate in electronics and then a manager within six months. >> what do you say to that worker? >> i'm happy to hear from that worker. equally, you will hear other workers not making a livable wage and when you don't have workers making a livable wage, that provides for an insecurity among the middle class and american workers and affects american prosperity. unions and labor are made up of workers and working to make sure they are receiving a decent and livable wage. i don't think it's in america's interest to pay tax dollars for food stamps to supplement the lack of wages or decent wages that walmart is not willing to pay its employees that make walmart what it is today, productive and successful. >> gary b., productive and successful it is. it does pay a lot of taxes. what do you think? is this in america's interest? >> well, if you are talking unions, brenda, no, it's not. i don't think

your second pick would be walmart. had some nice runs here lately. >> well, you know, as a girl from minneapolis, it's not often that i would recommend walmart. but here's what walmart is doing. one, they're getting great opportunity from e commerce. their investments are working. secondly, they're opening smaller stores in the most recent quarter, comp store sales were up 5.6%. versus just one half of one percent for the whole. and perhaps most importantly the demographic for people who make $40,000 a year or less, low gas prices at the pump means more money spent at walmart. >> and trading range pick is lennar. the housing company. quick thought on that one. >> bottom line we believe that the housing sector is still in recovery. tepid recovery, but in recovery. lennar has one of the best returns on invested capital in the space. secondly, over the past six years, when most of its peers were selling land, they were acquiring land. and we think that they are a key company in what our industry analysts have termed the g

walmart. steve harrigan is where protesters are moving down the street from store to store on this black friday. let's start with william. >> reporter: in this case walmart is the scapegoat, the symbol, if you will, for union leaders trying to make a political point with income equality and campaign for a living wage. they say no less than $15 an hour. the irony is many union workers under union contracts negotiated by the union make about the same amounting. now, the scrutiny, however, is on walmart and the media attention. some of the people you see in green here are actually walmart workers taking the day off. others are members of the union who have been bussed in from here around the country and long beach as well as atlanta, chicago, washington, d.c., demonstrations there as well. the argument is that the founders of walmart are rich and they have a duty to give their workers more. they pay for health care benefits to increased hours and pay at least $15 an hour. >> how could anybody sur

pay of a walmart employee. much higher than the minimum wage that has been proposed. >> tracey is this about the worker's union or the pay? >> totally about the union and the workers pay will get hurt in the process. look, black friday is now the big holiday along with cyber monday. they are missing the boat on that. people are going to shop regardless. if you're one of those pro-style i'm going to get you shoppers, you're going out protest or no protest. gary b. made the biggest or best line, this will hurt the walmart employee. >> at tend of the day, someone will step over you to get $20 off a go pro camera. if they went to target over this, if anybody did, you don't think they would pay the half a percent of worker who is make minimum wage something other than minimum wage so they can say nobody gets paid minimum wage at walmart? how little will that cost a company like walmart? they don't do that because the consumer doesn't care at all. in fact, this could be the cheapest place to shop because they don't p

louis walmart last night. in the wake of this week's destructive riots and protests this store had no shopper, only the national guard. in fact, this walmart was closed all night only to reopen to shoppers an hour ago. >> hands up, don't shoot. >> this is what it looked like at a target store not too far away. protesters marching and shouting "hands up, don't shoot." demonstrators protesting the grand jury's decision are expected nationwide today. jason carroll is in ferguson this morning to tell us more. good morning, jason. >> good morning, carol. just a few moments ago at this walmart here in ferguson we noticed a few protesters showing up in front of the walmart near the front entrance just about a half dozen or .

walmart is still selling stuff. walmart is still not making a decision based on how many people show up at these protests. they're not even walmart workers. they're just regular people. neil: when you look at it, about bristas are paid less by hour ad some of their counterparts own a lot less, why walmart? y walmart has 1.3 million employees. a large target on their back. there's an organization called making change at walmart for the last three years have staged this protest. they're funded by the union that supports walmart's competitors. neil: isn't that interesting. >> that's the stuff happening. (?) i don't think the unions will go away. they're not making a fingerprint yet. but they will. >> it's been ten years. what do you mean by yet. neil: they still do it. sometimes it's an intimidating factor. if we can't get them to change their policies, we can stop people going to their stores. when you see picketers outside the store, you look for another way to go in, if at all. >> they're trying to publicly shame wa

walmart u.s. ceo greg foreign, again, says he is cautiously optimistic about the holiday quarter, a phrase he used several times in conversations today, saying that walmart shares are trading at an all-time high, but again, we still have to be careful about what's going forward in the quarter because remember, they guided in a range below the consensus. so i'm a little confused about the walmart highs today. in the stock market. >> thank you very much, courtney. >>> let's look at this chart on the back of all that because walmart versus gasoline futures is certainly something worth looking at. look at that. walmart, up 10%. down 25%. let's dig in deeper into how much lower gas prices mean for customers such as those who shop at walmart. joining us now, chief u.s. economist at deutsche bank. a moment ago courtney was saying it's very hard to know exactly how much of a lift consumers get from lower gas prices. tell us how much exactly it's helping us. for every 1 cent change in gasoline prices, how

this is a different walmart. this mcmillon has that feeling of, listen, we've got things going here you've got to believe in. i'm a believer. he's got the right categories, the right merchandise. the number has been reduced. gasoline going their way. consumer starting to feel better. employment going up a little. this is walmart's time. >> fascinating. the guidance which generally we brace ourselves for what they are going to say about the quarter to come. >> walmart cuts forecast. that's like d.a. probes rockets. when you go there it should have the unsmiley face with we are cutting our forecast every day low prices. >> stock up 2% today. you think this is the beginning of something? >> yes, i do. i think it is very inexpensive on the numbers they are putting out. it's the numbers that rule. i am not going to give them a 20 multiple. they can do 550. i don't know. you can go the 84, 85. >> all right. viacom will get love today. adjusted fiscal fourth quarter profit. $1.71. nice revenue hikes from film and media.

so if target decided to keep its stores closed on black thanksgiving while walmart is open, walmart's sales have a better chance of beating their financial guidance and target's stock goes down the tubes. i think next year you'll say black november because they essentially have no choice. and i believe this is a function of very weak wage growth in america because throughout this year, retail land, you're not seeing the consumer double dip during are periods where they have to spend such as back to school. >> but you don't argue that some of that buying that is going on is just front loading the sales that would have come anyway? in other words, in the aggregate, it won't make a gi difference? >> i think it shows retailers are scared. they need to get customers into stores as quickly as humanly possible and also keep in mind, too, the physical stores are competing with the web stores. so they want consumers who are shopping around the clock in to the stores, have them shopping more departments than they were last year and get those dollars because they know they may not return toward

this sit-in today at a walmart store in washington, d.c. coming as union-backed protests are planned nationwide this black friday at some 1,600 walmart stores, but are the protesters in that picture really walmart workers? they are more or likely paid union protesters. he's with worker center watch. by the way, we will be speaking with someone from our walmart, the group behind these protests on black friday. for now, let's get your thoughts on what you think's going on here. what do you think it is? >> well, our walmart is a wholly owned subsidiary, the uscw, hiring union employees, giving out gift cards, offering people $200 in free thanksgiving turkeys in cities like denver and chicago to come out and protest, but these are not walmart employees. these are simply paid street protests and they are trying to achieve their ultimate goal, which is to unionize walmart's 1.3 million employees. >> all right, but does walmart ever counter by saying or showing, look, a lot of our workers rags to riches story, some came in busboys or girls, they a

the next up in the dow industrials it is, walmart. walmart? here's a company that many had written off as bad habits. an old store chain. kind of with a montgomery ward feel to it. out of step with time and place. now that might have been the case in the past but this current ceo of walmart, this guy doug mcmillan, i don't know. got me dazzled. i don't feel that way anymore about walmart. we have a nice up size price for the first time in ages this morning for a company that had begun to stand for lower prices. not in the stores but in the stock market. i liked everything he had to say. it's clear he has his finger on the pulse of the stores the way walmart's legendary founder sam walton did. no wonder the stock rallies $3.74. this is the second largest retailer in the world. of course i hear all the cat calls that walmart had repeatedly cut it so when it finally beats one, well big deal. i think that's a short sided way to look at things if you listen to the rerecorded conference call like i did you'll know there is the term newness to the ol

demonstrators outside this walmart store in d.c. said they stand in solidarity with the parents of michael brown who continue to fight the decision not to charge the officer who shot their son in ferguson, missouri. but this protest here in d.c. was mainly about wages and hours. activists say d.c., walmart employees don't make enough money to support their families in an area getting more and more expensive. >> we are relying on government assistance, along with working full-time hours, which shouldn't be. we should be able to live comfortably and without, you know, relying on other sources of income. >> reporter: news4's molette green was at the rally and will have more

man entered the walmart. that's kind of on the back side of the potomac mills mall. he approached the jewelry counter with a hammer in each hand. he then began breaking up the glass on the jewelry counter. there happened to be an off-duty law enforcement officer in the walmart at that time that confronted the man. the man fled from the store, but the off-duty officer pursued him into the parking lot. the officer then confronted the man again. gave him some commands. when the man did not comply, that's when prince william county police say this off-duty officer shot the man. we understand that that man has now been flown to an area hospital for treatment. we don't know anything about his condition and naturally, many prince william police units responding to that scene to investigate what happened. as i said, we're within sight of that walmart right now, and we will bring you the scene there as soon as we arrive. >> thanks, julie. >>> more breaking news. this time in prince george's conti. police have found the mother of a newborn baby girl abandoned in beltsville yes

demonstrators outside this walmart store in d.c. said they stand in solidarity with the parents of michael brown who continue to fight the decision not to charge the officer who shot their son in ferguson, missouri. but this protest here in d.c. was mainly about wages and hours. activists say d.c., walmart employees don't make enough money to support their families in an area getting more and more expensive. >> we are relying on government assistance, along with working full-time hours, which shouldn't be. we should be able to live comfortably and without, you know, relying on other sources of income. >> reporter: news4's molette green was at the rally and will have more on what happened and what's next for these workers coming up in our second half hour. >>> protests over the ferguson decision continued in new york city. look at the crowd here. that march through times square a couple hours ago. it was a smaller group than the one that margined in times square tuesday. the night after a missouri prosecutor announced no charges agai

we get to get your thoughts on walmart. but first, let's get a look at the other top stories for this hour. elsa, tops barbie as the number one toys for girls this year. how about that? that's according to the national retail federation top toy sur y survey. it's the first time that the t mattel doll does not hold the top spot. >>> and twitter's cfo may need to look twice before hitting send. anthony noto appears to have posted a public tweet on monday that was intended as a private message. possibly for another twitter executive. let's get you that tweet. he says, i still think we should buy them. he is on your schedule for december 15th or 16th. we will need to sell him. i have a plan, end quote. the tweet was deleted, but not before being screen grabbed by some of his 87,000 followers. it's unclear as to which potential takeover target he is referring to. >>> the key executive is reportedly exiting walmart just days before the start of the annual shopping frenzy known as black friday. we'll get you the latest after this

signs are very good. >> we have the demand that walmart, walmart, respect workers like they should be respected. we are here, demanding at least $15 an hour. we are here to demand that it's not part-time work, but it's full-time work. >> retailers said they were expecting a good black friday, but unions were out in force today. let's talk about with our panel. steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard. and syndicated column nis charles krauthammer. they're saying don't shop here, there's too much increase in econviction. >> they want to make it a big deal because americans spend a ton of money on black friday every single year and they think this contrast helps them make a pr case. i will stay that that protester that we saw there, doesn't make a terribly compelling case, we demand $15, we demand -- when -- that kind of screaming, yelling and basically threatening i think isn't likely to change a lot of minds. >> william watching us was reporting out in california on these protests, and he interviewed some walmart workers, of course they're working as they're being ber viewed

i think we all agree walmart, target. upside surprises tend to take place in stocks already trending higher. i this the market is already sniffing this out. the sentiment was too negative. you saw the stock break out. you saw the stock break above long-term resistance. and here you go. this is the surprise. i don't know if i'm piling in at 72 but i think the stock works higher. >> this is a good debate. do you sell the bump today because the stock is doing well? the ceo is coming on in about 10 minutes. been on the job 99 days. >> not a bad sell. >> but the low gas price move is just getting started. why are you laughing. >> i'm good. go ahead murph. >> if you look at the numbers today. it was a great sell. even the canada target which has been a thorn in their side, they even put up decent numbers. this is a soltd report out of target. but look how the stock has moved. to see it pop 7.5% on this quarter i think there are a lot of different catalysts in there like lower gas. with but what pushes it up to 80, i don't know.

walmart is doing it. walmart's traffic has been hu hurti hurting. the economy being slow again has hurt their customer quite a bit. because of that, they are trying to do whatever they can possibly do and get away from the one day and let people know, walmart is open other days of the week, not just the one friday. that's why they are doing this. the online sales, when you buy something online, it cost the walmart we'll use them as example, less money when you buy it online to open up the store and go through the process of going into the store and so on because they have to pay sales people and so on. as a result of that, people want -- these companies want more retail presence than ever before. >> we were showing visuals of cyber monday versus black friday. let me ask you this question. deviating a little bit. still staying close to home with the message. that is the fact that gas prices have gone down so much that it's actually projected that americans will have an average $100 savings. in most likely they'll spend that towards christmas presence

i mentioned walmart. you look at in the last couple weeks we've seen coach, coors, a few others that i'm forgetting here, and so to me i don't think that this is the sort of thing that you want to chase at this stage of the game, especially it could be as good as we get as we head into the holidays. >> you say coach and coors, there is kate spade. it dpenls on the retailer. >> that's the perfect point is there are retailers that are brand specific, coach, coors, abercrombie & fitch which we'll talk about later. these are names are they falling out of favor. it's not so much consumers. consumer confidence has been rising and we're going into the holiday sochblt my expectation actually is that we're probably going to have a pretty good season for generic retailers. >> it's interesting as you know yesterday we celebrated our 25th anniversary at cnbc. he would not want to be a retailer that sold other people's stuff. to that point dan, you got -- you were taking a look at macy's. >> why wouldn't i. when you t

workers are staging a work action at walmart. since 2007 workers are used black friday to protest wages and working conditions. they say they've seen some improvements after protests in the last two years. walmart is the nation's largest private employer with 1.4 million workers. we have more now from washington. >> the demonstrators converged on walmart stores across the country, including this one just a few blocks from the u.s. capitol. with gross products of $130 billion this year walmart has been a ripe target to pass living wage laws across the u.s. and workers complain even working full time they need government subsidies to make ends meet. >> for a year i have not made over $25,000. so it can be--i'm still relying on government assistance. >> i'm personally behind on my rent even though i work 40 hours a week. i can't get my car fixed. i wait for shut off notices from the utilities before i can pay them. >> walmart said that behind these demonstrations is a campaign behind one union to organize the workers and in several

this is new jersey, the walmart out there. doesn't look like anyone is crowding and running in to get some deals out there. a few cars in the parking lot, but walmart actually, there were some crowds at area wall marts yesterday as people tried to knock out some of that black friday shopping early. that might help you determine where you'll get your shopping started this black friday. we'll show you what areas are crowded and what areas you'll be able to pop in quickly. >>> 6:14 a.m. black friday bargain hunters are busy this morning. sky force 10 is live over the kohl's there. we saw some shoppers at kohl's in hammertown getting some good deals. trying to check some items off their list and save some money at the same time. >>> some people shopped all night long and nbc 10 monique [ ten is live at the walmart in port richmond. some of the big box stores are popular on this day. monique, have you seen a lot of shoppers out there? >> we've seen more shoppers here than the other three or four places we went to this morning, chri

shares of walmart are rising. for the first time in almost two years store sales rose in the united states. it was not by much, just 1.5%. that the ceo doug macmillan is making big promise in his turnaround plan. it is a match made in marketing heaven. shrek and the transformers. the toymaker is in talks to buy dreamworks animation. socks --stream work stream work -- dreamworks stocks soaring. it is warren buffett's power play again. buyingre hathaway is proctor and gamble's duracell battery business. 4.7shire will turnover billion dollars in shares. that is high energy. the house votes on the controversy over he stone pipeline. an impact on net's months senate runoff election in louisiana. billlandrieu how end cassidy want keystone approved. her rover want to show independence through democratic leaders who oppose keystone. >> the information we have gotten as they plan to pass a tomorrow, let me just say hallelujah. hallelujah.t again, >> president obama may veto at keystone bill and there may not be enough vote

could walmart be the next target? let's find out. dan, some say that ackman prezes walmart to spin off sam's club to spin off value. >> this has been a theme, big under performers, walmart unchange on the year, issued 10%, a profit warning, a company not expected to grow. it's low single digits for eternity. this is a massive retail company. it makes sense. you know, like some of the huge, huge targets, you know, past activists never wanted to get into the megacap, but they are going after it, working apple, procter & gamble, right? >> the thing that makes sense, of course, is you have to unlock shareholder value. walmart has been stuck in the mud for a long time, and spinning off sam's could make sense. what doesn't make sense is walton enterprises, founded company, owns 50% of the outstanding stock. it's hard to come in and do anything. you can go in, and they take your advice or not take it. basically, they tell anybody to take a walk if they want. >> here's the other thing, okay, it's not a particularly expensive stock, market mu

nbc 10's monique braxton live at the walmart. it looks like people are still there. >> reporter: that's right. the manager tells us this has been a shopping marathon. at one point yesterday, he had to shut the doors, close the store down because so many people were buying plasma tvs. >> the tv is 30% off. so that's $200. toys are usually on sale. >> i looked online. i tried to find out the best deals, where they are at. >> reporter: shoppers aren't just checking their list twice, they are also serving the web for the best price possible. >> it's only $79. >> reporter: that's a tablet? >> yes. 10 inch. >> reporter: how much do you think you saved by coming here? >> reporter: a whole lot. usually, tablets go for, like, $400, $500. >> reporter: the electronics department was bustling. what can shoppers expect today as far as catching a good deal? >> everybody is getting ready to put on their christmas trees now. lights. today is the day from 6:00 a.m. to noon, we have 30% off on all christmas trees and lights. 30% off on select tvs.

i just mentioned walmart. but even when you look at just in the last xum weeks we've seen coach, we've seen kors. there's a few others that i'm kind of forgetting here. so to me i actually don't think that this is the sort of thing that you want to chase at this stage of the game. especially it could be as good as we get as we head -- >> you say coach and kors. for coach and kors there's kate spade. it just depends on the retailer, right? >> that's the perfect point. is that there are retailers that are brand specific. coach, kors, ab krom booe & fytch which we'll talk about more later. these are names where you're talking about are they falling out of favor. it's not so much about consumers. consumer confidence has been rising and we're going into the holiday season. so my expectation actually is that we're probably going to have a pretty good season for generic retailers like macy's. >> it's interesting. as you well know yesterday, we celebrated our 25th anniversary at cnbc and as part of the program mickey

walmart is the nation's largest private employer. tom ackerman reports now from washington. >> the demonstrators converged on walmart stores across the country. including this one just a few blocks from the u.s. capitol. with gross profits of $130 billion walmart has been a ripe target. it points to workers who complain that even working full time they need government subsidies to make ends meet. >> i work 04 hours a week, and per year i haven't made over $25,000. i still rely on government assistance. >> i'm still behind on my rent even though i work 40 hours a week. i can't get my car fixed. i wait for shut-off notices before i can pay them. >> they want unions, and the companie company has responded with a campaign of their own. >> i started out as a part-time cashier going through coming. i would grow from how longly ranks to senior level management. >> while the protesters marched outside the company provided a few workers inside to give the news media it's side of the story. >> i make a pretty good living wage. i started off as

if walmart boasts that we will beat any price and someone comes in with a price walmart is unable to verify but foolishly or stupid the relies on it they might have difficulty finding a jury to compensate them for that loss. but this is obviously a scheme. two or more people are involved is an organized criminal scheme and wal-mart is the victim. stuart: what about the people doing the scamming. are they guilty of theft? judge napolitano: it depends on whether or not this can receive the benefit. if this camera is providing the fake ad but gets no benefit, the scanner hates walmart, it is not that on the part of the scanner but if there's a grand conspiracy and in a conspiracy the conspirators don't have to know each other and don't have to plot with each other as long as there's a general agreement to participate in the plot. in most sophisticated conspiracy's the conspirators don't know each other so that they cannot testify. stuart: buy a common goal which is to scam a target. judge napolitano: they are not necessarily linked by familiarity with the identity of the scam. stuart: i

they want walmart to pay workers $15 an hour. walmart has said it pays workers about $13. the union, which calls itself the organization united for respect, in this case our walmart, says it's closer to $9. now, part of their justification or rationale is that the founders of walmart, the walton family, are so wealthy, they should pay their workers more. >> what i would want to see happen today is that walmart would close its doors and try to show some kind of example for all the other corporations because there they're our, you , number one retailer, and they have a lot of power in running that industry. >> reporter: now, the police are here today, heather, because members of the protesters, members of this union are not permitted to go inside of walmart unless they're there to shop. heather? heather: and what is walmart's response? have you heard from them? >> reporter: yeah. we talked to them earlier today. they did not want to address these charges head on, if you will, they wanted to talk about black friday itself. of course, walmart discounters like sears attract mil
