And -- ball and Wal-Mart backs down the discount retailer scaling back plans.

To expand in New York amid fierce and union protests in Gary K.

You say consumers everywhere it's just should.

You know it's amazing to watch this in a city like New York where there's a high cost of living you have a company.

That single handedly as lower cost for consumers.

And no let's not build one.

If you're not gonna have the workers -- -- after the construction workers potential for local suppliers this is a big loss could set up for consumers.

All the way around the next city and I -- -- just tells you and I got to use the word bitch is -- these people not allowing this to occur.

Then I got -- say this is a remarkable everywhere I've been to a Wal-Mart people are happy he's creates jobs it.

It democratize -- things that you know in the past only rich people had access to.

Wal-Mart is an incredibly great American institution genuine benefit every runners and it lived there Wal-Mart.

Get the benefit of the lower prices as -- that a substantial pay raise.

This is union did you union Tribune delta air demonstrating and -- -- gets -- -- being paid and Germans immunity is a -- at a Wal-Mart -- old nationwide unionized jobs growth has struggled does appear as -- very very very upsetting phenomenon is a New Yorkers.

Deprived of the better the Wal-Mart.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- This is a hit on Wal-Mart this is what they're doing they're not.

You when you go to the cozy shop around according to go to the union against Wal-Mart it's specific to war because you've got.

I did when -- retail New York there those aren't like labor union.

-- but people -- -- labor unions who where -- working there so this is a specific thing to Wal-Mart they're attacking Wal-Mart to try to make a national case against Wal-Mart.

Let's be clear there a lot of police in New York we you don't -- -- argues it's not like.

You know there are unions and other brand until it is as it -- an attack on it because Wal-Mart is the great and why I don't weigh all about -- -- now how stupid it is.

The construction workers that would build the war -- arguing it right there there at a job.

I do not think though that this union wind if you will in New York City what impact you know Wal-Mart nationwide I don't think it helps you don't think it -- them and all I do not think it helps unionization and all the reason.

That the unions are afraid of Wal-Mart made -- in New York City is because.

The people of this city will realize how awful the what incite labor market and I are but I don't want to say it once they shop I don't -- -- -- right here I think this is a national.

I think is national zoo you know and then at a Miami I'm not sure what the situation is in San Francisco but.

There -- a little bit more lead at the times in New York City.

Yeah I you know I've I'm not sure my facts -- don't think we have a Wal-Mart in San Francisco and I don't think it's a bit so a labor issue necessarily.

This is very similar our last conversation I mean every.

I I agree this is not a national issue.

The people in New Yorkers should nationalization Wal-Mart they're trying to noted that although -- don't -- let -- benefit that will pile up on a good I don't -- I've -- I think.

I don't think he's a -- this is particularly fair to Wal-Mart what's happening in New York City having said that I think the opposition to Wal-Mart.

Is sincere yet they're doing -- -- he doesn't hear hopefully.

Yeah because I've been busy I got -- -- when you say it's it's not it's it's unfair to Wal-Mart we're talking about what about I'm being unfair to people who live in these neighborhoods right you know as I'm probably the poorest congressional district.

In America you know many people want a job they're having people loved gigabyte flat screen TV are you -- -- If you -- if you want to have.

Have a policy debate about this you'd have to be prepared to tell me exactly how many businesses nearby will -- lot of -- -- bad job I don't know how to act as a result wall oh I think -- -- the last -- that's -- okay.

Wal-Mart.

It's a job creating machine to stop them from creating more jobs in the city that -- that.

Is insane.

And you're back in the military definitely remember any issue can't prove that we got well I think what we can't -- -- to gum up costs up that they may close down there's a thousand jobs that would have been create I think that's -- agree on -- days to get -- -- -- -- -- Is a thousand my -- you know our guys who we've been added I'm --
