wonderful. you had a very interesting interview just this morning with ceo of wal- mart >> that's right. >> seth: a company known as being conservative but has recently taken very progressive steps, raising wages, they just announced they're not gonna carry the confederate flag any more what do you think is leading to the sort of progressive move for wal-mart right now >> i think it's so interesting because, i asked him, why did you raise wages for all of those people he said, actually, we could not find people to work at wal-mart with the skill sets required which i thought, wow, what is a skill set required that's so hard to find that you can't find it you know, and people but, frankly, he said, we needed to raise the wage to attract more people to work at wal-mart. and then separately, someone else told me, a source, that even in states where, for example, where marijuana is legal, like colorado, wal-mart has its own testing, drug testing. and unfortunately, even when they find employees to take the jobs who do have the skill sets, 7 of 10 fail the drug test >> seth: oh, my goodness

shares are trading down about 2 percent for the day and wal-mart also traded down 2 percent even though at initial plant it had next activation by a long shot and same store sales jumped by 10 percent in the 1st quarter due to courting goods and consumer discretionary products however it withdrew its financial outlook for the year saying. the bias and i may create it unprecedented variability so even though it's grew cost also grew as a result as more employees need to be staffed in order to help clean the stores stock shelves and most importantly fulfill online orders so it was also announced today during earnings that it would discontinue jet dot com and things out the brand completely so while wal-mart did gain off the back of any calm throughout this entire coronavirus pandemic as everybody was online shopping rather than going to the stores that segment of the business has still yet to turn a profit and wal-mart is still actively trying to broaden its online sales beyond groceries and it's still heavily behind amazon delivery i know that the report mentioned u.s. e-commerce sales w

dot com and phase out the brand completely so while wal-mart did gain off the back of any calm throughout this entire coronavirus pandemic as everybody was online shopping rather than going to the stores that segment of the business has still yet to turn a profit and wal-mart is still actively trying to broaden its online sales beyond groceries and it's still heavily behind amazon delivery i know that the report mentioned u.s. e-commerce sales were up 74 percent but their apparel hadn't been doing as well but much like you said it's more about the groceries and essential that they offered todd i want to get this question and let's turn to the energy complex our oil prices finally stabilizing or are we seeing just a plunge into xperia rolls again. well i think we really see that the economy is starting to pick up again you're getting the. county open you've got the producers are cutting on supply so we're starting to burn through some of that go lot that we had which will bring in higher prices i mean again we're certainly far away away from where we were on both sides but you k

companies like wal-mart, cosco, we think those companies will be winners long-term. we view them as pandemic winners and they will pick up market share and particularly higher market discretionary categories where they make a lot of their margin. maria: well, we will get more information on the whole environment when we hear from wal-mart and target, those numbers out this morning. we will have those for you. in the meantime we have stimulus being thrown at the economy. this morning we will have testimony, federal chairman jay powell and steven mnuchin to testify this morning and report in care's act. what's your take, are we going to see more stimulus rather than later or do you think this is going to work in terms of lifting this economy from $10 trillion thrown at the economy between the -- between the congress acts and the fed? garrett: so what we think it's doing is helping provide some support to consumer confidence. we had may consumer confidence numbers that came out on friday and it was much better than expected and, you know, representative balance from the april numbers.
