insensitive farmland near sensitive military institutions is unbelievable. it's wrong. when president trump becomes president, when we have control, that will stop. it shouldn't be allowed. it's dangerous to national security. it's wrong for the food supply chain. it's something that should be stopped. and i believe it will. >> todd: there is also the fact that so many of these farmers are getting absolutely killed in joe biden's inflationary america. kamala harris is tied to that because she has been vice president during that time period as well. i think if you talk to a lot of farmers, they want president trump in there question becomes, congressman, are there enough of them to sway the election come november? got to leave it there. congressman jeff van drew from the great state of new jersey even down there they are root for the eagles. don't forget to set your dvr 5:00 a.m. so you don't miss a minute of "fox & friends first."

>> ainsley: good morning. hope had you great weekend. it's 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. monday, september 23rd. this is "fox & friends." we start with a fox news alert. israel is warning people that fli lebanon to evacuate as the idf conduct extensive strikes. we are live in tel aviv have the form ambassador to the u.n. standing by. >> lawrence: former president donald trump heads to the battleground state of pennsylvania today to highlight farming and energy. but senator john fetterman doesn't want to talk about it. watch. >> so strange why we just keep talking about fracking. back in 2020 i said that might be an issue. but it's not going to be a defining issue. >> steve: okay. defining portion of our program you are not going to want to miss, actress patricia heaton is going to join "fox & friends" live on this very, very busy monday. >> ainsley: we have a very special announcement today stay

tuned for that coming up later in the show. >> ainsley: i think i know what it is. >> ainsley: you do but they don't. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: all right. as you look at live pictures straight to a fox news alert. right now the idf is carrying out extensive strikes against hezbollah targets inside the country of lebanon after the iranian backed terror group hezbollah launched more than a hundred rockets into israel overnight. >> ainsley: israel's president says they are not seeking war but will continue to defend themselves. >> lawrence: nate foy is live in tel aviv with the latest. nate, what can you tell us? >> hey, guys, good morning. so massive airstrikes as you just saw with the live picture, happening in southern lebanon now for a fourth straight day. just minutes ago. the idf shared that so far today they have hit 300 hezbollah terrorist sites. we have new video of some areas of southern lebanon getting pounded this morning. take a look.

because of this, as ainsley mentioned, israel is putting out messages in arabic, telling people to evacuated, particularly in southern lebanon. an israeli military official tells fox today that israel is focused on an aerial campaign only. israel deployed 150 fighter jets over the weekend. the idf also released this video this morning. take a look. israeli fighter jet pilots noticed a cruise missile about be to fired from a home in southern lebanon. they took out the terrorist before they could fire it. the idf says dr 3 cruise missile with 660-pound war head attached to it. the range on that missile was 124 miles. capable of reaching several areas in israel. the idf says in the past 24 hours, hezbollah has fired 150 times on israel. you see a direct hit in this next video from northern israel. a lot of damage here as a result of that. this morning israel's it's eye zig herzog i repeat and

reiterate israel does not want war but we have the right and duty to defend our people. here is prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> we will take whatever action is necessary to restore security and bring our people safe back to their homes just within the last pour israel's information officer says his office in beirut received message to evacuate. he called it psychologic warfare and said his ministry would not evacuate. we will keep an eye on beirut and see what happens with that warning. we will send it back to you. receive steve nate, as you keep an eye on beirut not north of you. where are people in israel, are they worried that a ground invasion into lebanon is next? >> >> well, a lot of people do speculate that eventually that may be necessary. however, as i mentioned, the idf is saying that right now they are focused on an aerial

campaign only. but they are also saying that they are going to need to change the security situation on the northern border. 60,000 residents are evacuated and as we have seen in these videos, hezbollah just fires rockets from southern lebanon into these villages. right up against that northern border. so something is going to have to change. will the airstrikes do it? time will tell. we will see if a ground offensive will be necessary. >> lawrence: nate foy, thanks so much. let's bring in former israeli ambassador gilad irnone who was in office kidnapped hostages on october 7th. he joins us by phone. mr. ambassador, thank you for joining us it on the program this morning. >> good morning and thanks for having me. >> lawrence: mr. ambassador, israel were anticipating some form of attack from lebanon, that's correct, right? yeah in a way we anticipated

retaliation of hezbollah. we decided that's it. we are not willing to wait anymore. we are going to strike and attack hezbollah as it's needed because we are committed to a return our 70,000 civilians who were evacuated on october 8th since hezbollah decide a tack our civilians. since then launched thousands of missiles. yeah, the idf will continue to strike and target hezbollah commanders and hezbollah operative will comply with resolution 9701. they shouldn't be neither border threatening our civilians in northern communities. >> ainsley: mr. ambassador, we get it. you have to defend yourself. the holy land has been facing security threats daily.

rockets being fired towards hamas. a year ago hamas and now it's hezbollah. the difference is we didn't have a warning on 9/11. you didn't have a warning on october 7th. i saw you. israel was warning the people who lived in gaza, you know, releasing these pamphlets through the air telling them you need to move because we are about a tack. you are doing the same with lebanon. telling the civilians, get out if you are in a region where hezbollah is storing weapons, get out. we are warning you. why do you do that? >> you are totally right. we are a moral country. we are a liberal democracy. we are not going to behave as our enemies who are acting on behalf of iran, the number one state sponsor of terrorism. they use their civilians as human shields. you know, they store their weapons and missiles within and under the civilian population.

so, we have to send a clear message. you're not going to get a free pass by using your civilians. the world like any others demand democracy. committed to safeguarding and protecting our civil yaps. we expect the american administration and all the free world to stand with us. against iran and iranian proxies. if as a result failed to win this war. this is definitely going to inspire in support of hamas hamas. in support of hezbollah. just imagine if we failed to eradicate them, what will -- what you saw and suffered on september 11th might happen again.

>> >> steve: mr. ambassador, the folks watching right now fox news channel. images looking out mediterranean on screen right in that particular picture. and can you see smoke rising from a couple of target targeted hits. i'm going to ask you about the targeted hits. because i know that you guys put up a map, you published a map 19 visions in south lebanon. you didn't see had which ones hezbollah hides their weapons. you are in danger. you guys got such detailed granular information about things. i understand you were texting people in particular buildings saying get out now because we're go about to blow you up. >> yeah, we also have knock on

woods. let the civilians a few seconds we're go onto hit a building being used as terrorist headquarters. again, suddenly as israel's ambassador. i have been notified t u.n. security council, the secretary general, everyone that hezbollah is storing its weapons and missiles among the civilian population, violating every u.n. resolution. you should know -- your viewers should know every tenth house in southern lebanon is like a military base because it has missile and rockets within it. when we need to, again, after almost one year that our civilians were evacuated because of the attacks of hezbollah, we're not going to allow this situation to continue anymore.

we know that we might pay also a price because hezbollah has more than 150,000 rockets and missiles all across lebanon. but for many years, we have gathered intelligence. we know a lot about where they hide their missiles and rockets. now we are going to hit them and hit them hard. >> lawrence: intelligence communities what you guys have been able to do lately. mr. ambassador, thanks so much for joining the program. we really appreciate it. >> ainsley: idf so resilient. you have young men and women that fight in the idf at early, young ages, can you imagine what he said every tenth house. remember the neighborhood you grew up in. if every 10th house was storing military rockets. we saw that happening with hamas in gaza. how they would store their rockets in hospitals and

underneath schools where children were being educated. and he is saying the same thing is happening with these villages in lebanon. >> steve: the israeli military was asked if a ground invasion was imminent they said we are focusing on israel's airline campaign only. cause see in live images from lebanon, it's going on right now. >> lawrence: ainsley, you make the larger point about there has been so much criticism when it comes to israel and what they have been doing. they keep saying why are you guys hitting civilians. when you have civilians being used as human shields, what do you expect israel to do? throw their hands up and say we will just allow to you attack us first? it's just not reasonable. >> ainsley: that's the difference america is not sandwiched in between countries that hate us. in israel you have people yelling death to america. wipe israel off the face of the map. that's their next door neighbor. >> steve: we are lucky we have oceans. >> ainsley: we are. talk about the election here in america.

former president trump and vice president harris are back on the campaign trail this week as new polls out this morning show that trump is leading harris in key sun belt states. >> lawrence: madeleine rivera is live in washington. hey, maddy. >> madeleine: good morning. new national ms nbc shows how ve president reslustled the campaign. leading former president trump 49 to 44% among registered voters. trump was aheads 2 points in july before president biden left the race. a "new york times"-siena college poll this morning shows former president trump leading in arizona, georgia, and north carolina, showing this is still anyone's game. trump stops harris 50 to 45% in arizona. 49 to 45% in georgia and 49 it 47% in north carolina. that is an issue for harris hitting blue wall and sun belt states this week. a schedule her campaign says reflects a different future 270 electric doral votes. per the "new york times" poll,

voters say trump improved their lives when he was president. and one of his biggest strengths is on the economy. that nbc poll shows he leads harris 48 to 40% when it comes to dealing with inflation and the living. and this still ranks as the most important issue for voters. undecided voters say they want to hear more policy specifics from harris so in just a few days, she will be rolling out new economic policies. >> i'm going to be giving a speech this week that is really to outline my of the economy. you heard me talk about i believe in what we can create in terms of opportunities for the american people, an opportunity economy. >> harris has a new endorsement from the national treasury employee's union. the organization represents employees from different federal departments and agencies, including the irs. meantime, former president trump is heading to pennsylvania, georgia, and michigan this week. he has also got a new

endorsement from the mayor of ham tran nic, michigan. a democrat and represents one of the biggest muslim communities in wayne can endorsement comes days after trump met with him as they try to court american arab voters. this leadership on the hamas war. >> steve: thank you very much a very thorough report. the one she talked about that is of the most interest to us right now is one that came out just an hour ago from the "new york times," siena college. and it shows that essentially the sun belt swing states have actually swung toward the former president. right now we have got a graphic, the former president is ahead in arizona by 5. in georgia by 4. and in north carolina by 2. what is interesting is about 15% of the people in these states are either undecided now or definitely not decided. and they could change their minds in particular in arizona

what is very curious and this goes to show you the fluid nature of the race. in august, kamala harris was ahead in arizona by 5. now donald trump is ahead by 5. and they say that probably one of the key factors is latino voters. they moved away from kamala harris in the last month. 10% of the latino voters in arizona now say they are undecided. it's anybody's race. >> lawrence: part of it is also immigration stances. and there's this. >> maybe. >> >> lawrence: memo releasing policy. people are voting. why are you still releasing information on where you distant as a candidate? >> steve: we need to know what she stands for. >> lawrence: have already state-of-the-arted to cast their vote. seems unacceptable. >> ainsley: kamala asked what are your policies. need to know more about economic policies. in a speech i'm going to release my economic policies or more of them. and independents are say would he go need to know what you

stand for before we go and vote. voting has already started in some of these states. that's the debate within the democratic party. should we roll more out? we'll be criticized for not rolling these out earlier. i think she is still planning on doing that her campaign won't fell us what they're. i have also heard all these experts on our show say if donald trump can win north carolina and can win georgia, then he won't have to win by as much in the other swing states. those two states are key for him. >> steve: pointed out the nbc fox news cbs poll. they all show trump ahead nationally. but, as we show you the battleground states. the whole point is just to show you it is so close. it is going to come right down to the wire. of course, in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, big issue with some people is fracking. and the current senator, john fetterman, you know, in 2018 he said he did not support fracking at all. in 2016 he said fracking was a

stain on pennsylvania. then in 2022 he said he supported fracking. he has been all over the place. yesterday on meet the press he was asked about not just his stance, but kamala harris' stance on fracking because she, too, has been flip-flopping. watch. >> vice president harris, as you know, once supported a ban on fracking when she was running for president in 2020. she even sued the obama administration to prevent fracking off california's coast. now she says she will not ban the practice as president. why should voters trust that that is really what the vice president believes? >> so strange why we just keep talking about fracking. back in 2020 i said that that might be an issue, but it's not going to be a defining issue. and now in 2024 we are still trying to talk about fracking. it's going to be very close in pennsylvania and it's not going to be defined by fracking. >> ainsley: why we are still

talking about it because it effects so many people in that stated with jobs, with money being poured back into the state. money being poured into other states. we rely on them. you went last week set. insisting that frac something not an important issue. but, when you went out to talk to the men who were actually doing the fracking, they had a different story. >> lawrence: just made it very clear. here they are. >> so there is a not a whole lot in the world right now that doesn't rely on petroleum, okay? everything that we are wearing, our glasses, plastics, all that aside from y trucking and fuel d all those other things that people think about on the general keep. but, you know, there is tens of thousands of us. probably more than that we will all be standing in a bread line because if you shut the-field down like all my eggs are in this basket and i know lots of guys all their eggs are in the oilfield. >> lawrence: if kamala harris is the next president she once had a position against fracking now she says she is okay with fracking. do you believe her, a?

and what do you think a presidency would be like under her? >> i don't believe that we have seen waffling effect. you know, the contradictions there. we're obviously paying very close attention to that, you know. the sentiment around this whole region is nobody believes that. >> lawrence: i guess the last thing i would say on this clearly the issue matters to voters there. this is why the politicians in the state, including john fetterman has changed his position on it. this is why kamala harris is changing her position on it. the pill of john fetterman progressive guy but changed his position but let people know why. these why people believe him he has been outspoken to israel's war. he has talked about a lot of the evolution of his life. kamala harris hasn't done that for him to just try to sweep it under the rug he as if well, i did the same thing. but, senator, you explained why. it was important for your state. you changed your position and you gave people the nuts and bolts of it. kamala harris hasn't done that. >> ainsley: i think it would be insulting the man you talked to

all my eggs are in basket. everything that my family relies on. me to bring home my paycheck is in this basket right here. fuel and fracking and for john fetterman to say i don't know why we are still talking about it, this man is saying we have to talk about it, it's my bread and butter. >> steve: you know what? bread and butter and eggs all cost more. all that stuff in that basket. what we are seeing in the fracking fields and elsewhere. anything that has too do with energy right now. because energy impacts the price of everything. and it's a collision between joe biden's day one agenda, which was to appeal to his green flank, that shows hey, look, i'm going to stop with the fossil fuels. i'm going to stop with fracking and stuff like that. fast-forward four years. kamala harris has got to be for that stuff to get elected. >> ainsley: right. he did, too, in 2022. she said i am against fracking, no questions. now they are asking the question why did you flip flop? >> steve: she was against fracking before she was for

fracking. dolls that sound familiar? >> lawrence: unbelievable. answers ains more headlines. we are starting with this fox news alert ryan routh is due in court federal court today at 11:00 today eastern time for detention hearing where a judge will determine whether he can be released on bailment. lapse week he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon possession of firearm with obliterated serial number. federal prosecutors say stronger charges could be coming. coming up. law professor jonathan turley will join us about the case new overnight house and senate members reaching an agreement on bipartisan funding bill avoiding a government shutdown. the bipartisan bill will ensure the federal government is funded through at least december 20th. legislature includes $231 million to go towards the secret service. they have been under attack, under fire in the wake of the assassination attempts on former president trump.

ainsley. former president donald trump speaking with our own bill melugin slammed kamala harris for using the border wall in campaign ads as she promises tough on border policies under a harris-walz administration. their controversial accept deportations of illegal migrants. listen. >> venezuela is making billions of dollars. we are buying their oil. they make a fortune. they make a for country. i would stop everything. probably stop it anyway. i will force them down their throat. china would be very easy to handle. they make hundreds of billions of dollars on trade. i would announce that if they don't take them back, we're going to increase the tariffs on china. >> todd: former president sharing plan to get mass deportions on illegal migrants. >> i will take it out of the military because this is invasion. if you remember, build hundreds of miles of walls. much of it i built through the

military. i took it out because i considered it an invasion of our country. and i'll do it through the military if i have to. >> todd: new nbc poll shows voters trust trump over harris to handle the border and immigration by 21 points. lawrence, over to you. >> lawrence: thanks, todd. so the "new york times" says vice president kamala harris has a consistent record of cracking down on violent crime as a prosecutor. while the "l.a. times," you know, the area where she is from, says she is trying to be something that she is not. that her liberal makeover is dodging her campaign. but, what about her radical voting record and policy stance? let's bring in mary katharine ham, fox news contributor and outkick.com columnist. this is pretty incredible to have them just go after her m.k. >> her belief system, what is going on here is the most potent attack on her that has stuck is that far more people believe she is too liberal than believe

donald trump is too conservative. there is a reason to believe for that those in the media who try to rehab her no, no. she is center left. she is center left in california. she a default california liberal who says that what she needs to say to get elected. now in california sometimes that meant being slightly right of totally insane. that is still very, very left for most americans, which is why this is sticking. i think they can trust that she believes the things that she was saying in 2020 where she was saying defund the police and she was going to be soft on everything because, in fact, when she was a d.a., those were the things she was doing. soft on a cop killer in san francisco. made a decision three days after his death that she was unwilling to seek the death penalty. even dianne feinstein was upset about that and spoke publicly about it. she would not go after violent protesters on the anniversary of the iraq war? sound familiar to now? she had 124 arrested with video evidence. decided to dismiss every single one of those cases.

when it came to illegal immigration happen happy to promote sanctuary city in san francisco. these are her beliefs. the facts that she runs away from them when she wants to appeal to people who are not california lefties does not believe she does not hold her value have the not changed. >> lawrence: interesting, m.k., when you look at the pundits and us that follow this for a living, we look at the debate between her and former president trump in a different way. things that we would have done differently, but then when you look at those dials when it comes to independent voters, they looked at it much differently, so i'm just curious. is this the policy stance continue to lose the independents in this race right now? >> i think people have a gutted feeling that an export from california to the rest of the country is going to be more liberal than they are. and they are correct. there is a long history of that being the case. reagan being a wonderful exception. but, we have a situation where

many years of this reputation has been built. pelosi is the most recognizable figure from her area. these two are connected in people's minds. also, she hides from voters. independent voters say we want to know more but. she refuses to give them many opportunities to learn much. and when she does interviews they are quite vapid and they don't address the time she has changed her mind quote, unquoted. she is not interested in changing her mind. she is interested in hiding that she hasn't changed her mind. >> lawrence: this is just pretty incredible. significant policy flip flop. banning fracking, for all. crossings of the border. mandatory gun buy backs. we are talking about an entirely different candidate. apparently she just woke up from a liberal coma three years later after running on that same exact thing as you said m.k. the voters just don't buy that type

>> ainsley: this is a fox news alert. the man accused of drying to secretary former president trump last week in florida is due back in court today where the judge will consider if he should be released on bail. ryan wesley routh is currently facing two federal gun charges but are more charges on the horizon? joining us now george washington university law professor and fox news contributor jonathan turley. hey, jonathan. >> hi, ainsley. >> ainsley: right now his charges are trying to erase the serial number on his gun and he wasn't supposed to to have a gun because he is a convicted felon. but the secret service did a

great job. they eliminated him from being able to kill the president or try to at the next golf hole. so, do you think because they did a good job this guy is going to get off easily or do you think the charges will be stiffer. >> no in all likelihood if is he convicted he will die in prison. first of all, those two charges come with a hefty maximum, that is 20 years. and he is interesting in one sense that is going to drive the defense counsel to distraction. that is he ising aing a ventilators no, mitt gators. what i mean by that something try to lower that potential sentence on these types of crimes owe has only agra gators. push it toward the maximum. these are not the only charges. waiting to see if the government brings a section 351 charge. a conspiracy to secretary the president. it covers other federal officials.

the question there, ainsley, did he go far enough to qualify what we call an attempt. you're right. they did a really good job. they stopped it before he could pull the trigger. did he do enough to trigger that provision? i think he did. there is also the possibility of a 115 charge, an attempt to kill a former federal officer that could bring that say he was targeted for prior federal service. also the possibility of a terrorism related charge. the department of justice has been very broad in defining that all of that is going to be piled up. we expect there will be more charges and likely looking at least one with a life potential sentence this is what the florida attorney general says expecting more charges. listen. >> at this point, the federal government has charged two gun crimes related to the suspect

and the charges that followed and his detention. obviously, as we all know, this person was lying in wait to secretary president trump. and we believe the evidence will show that and so a more serious charge carry with it a lot more weight than these two gun charges will be forthcoming. >> ainsley: do you agree with ashley moody? does it come down to intent? he had the gun, the scope, the backpacks. he was ready. >> i think it does. the justice department tends to hold back we'll be getting in the next few days insight in what they have. they are probably building that conspiracy case. they don't want to go forward until they are ready to do it. they have got him. it's very unlikely that any judge is going to release this guy. florida brings attempted murder charges. those are probably going to take a backseat to the federal charges. they may prove redundant. he may get multiple life

sentences. it doesn't mean they shouldn't bring the charge or that they won't. i expect the department of justice right now has a number of things in the pipeline going to radically increase the potential sentence for this guy. and i think that he is, at this point, the odds are in favor of his never getting out of prison. because i doubt the judge is going to release him on bail. >> ainsley: jonathan, we don't even know what the evidence they have against him. he could have written -- i don't know if he wrote this on social media that i want to kill the president. i know that nurse spoke to served with him in ukraine and said he wanted to kill everyone. we don't know what he said on chats online or what he has written in emails. what if he said this is my intent? >> >> oh then you have got what you need for attempt under section 351. this guy's record is that he was not exactly subtle. he seems to have gone to everyone to say i'm a locomotion of destruction. i'm going to kill this person or that person. we can expect that pattern to continue.

the assumption is the justice department is sitting on evidence right now of people they have interviewed. social media, and that they're likely to stick this landing on a type of section 351 charge for an attempt to secretary the president or conspiracy to assassinate the president. >> ainsley: i know wrote about this in your new book? what's it called if people want to pick it up. >> the incompensable right. talks about the cause of all of this which is rage rhetoric. the head of the secret service said we can mitigate threats. we can't eliminate them. the threats are coming from this rhetoric. >> ainsley: you are right. we need to tone it down. thank you so much, jonathan. good to see. >> thank you, ainsley. >> ainsley: you are welcome. former president trump will meet with farmers in pennsylvania to address how their livelihoods and our security is being threatened by china. one of the farmers meeting with donald trump will tell us why every american should care about this. ♪

farm in the town of smithton to address the threat of china against american agriculture. look at that sign right there. farmers for trump. as of december in 2022. china owns almost 350,000 acres of american farmland. joining us right now with more is pennsylvania farmer and state representative eric devon zoe. eric, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> how is the former president wiping up on your property today? first off, let's say we are super excited to have president trump at the farm here today. we had gotten a call just a few weeks ago asking hey for a local farm in the area. and i asked the family hey, is this something we can go for? i guess along the way we checked all the boxes security and whatnot. is he here and like i said we are extremely excited. the whole region is excited for that matter. >> absolutely when he comes to your place you raise cows, beef

producer. you also do soybeans, you do straw and some hay. what are you going to tell him about the threat of china. >> i think we are going to tell him -- one, we will thank him for his love for the country and thank him for standing up to the american farmer. we all feel like we have been forgotten about here. keep doing what he is doing. put america first. make sure that america's food is safe right here and make sure we have the land and the opportunity to produce and grow our food here. i think that's all we want farmers want to work and it's that simple. >> when you think about it, eric, the threat of foreign interference or foreign influence on our supply chain. you look at some of the biggest meat producers. and those are companies that are located overseas. >> correct. correct. and, listen, sometimes when you sit back and you look at this stuff and you got ask yourself

how did we get in this situation, it should be a no-brainer. we should be in change of our own food chain right here. in the state of pennsylvania. agriculture is the number one industry steve right. so much money and jobs produced here. we would love to bring all that stuff back, especially to pennsylvania. >> not just the supply chain and china you are worried about. it's the prices over the last four years for the small family farm like yourself. the prices are through the roof. >> yeah. absolutely. there is actually dare producey right down the road jackson farms just announced they are going out of business 65 years. bottom ling company produce their own milk in today's economy, the biden-harris economy they can't make ends meet with it. they are cutting way back. and very unfortunate, you know. very unfortunate what is going on here today. >> ainsley: absolutely. it's not just farm land that you worry about. there's a lot of property that is being bought by the chinese and they are using it for solar

farms. they are not growing anything but energy. >> correct. and right now in -- that's what we talk about hey, they are going to take up the farmland. come in offer these farmer as nice chunk of money to lease their land and put these solar panels on. but let's not forget who produces these solar panels? everything is over in china. one of the questions that we have here is these panels are decommissioned in 25, 30 years, who is responsible for these panels? nobody wants to claim responsibility for it. and so this farmer may be getting a nice chunk of money now, but you are kind of leaving debt on your family down the road. >> steve: absolutely. eric, thank you very much. got a busy day with the former president. thank you for starting with "fox & friends." >> no problem. thank you. >> steve: lawrence, you got some headlines? >> lawrence: turning to some headline. k-mart is closing last remaining full size store in the u.s. long island store is set to close for good on october the 20th. leaving only one other k-mart still open. the last remaining k-mart is
