yeah fredricka.ou know the devastation here is immense, quoting the mayor of when arkansas, he said. it's like the twister cut a path directly down the middle of the town and we are in that path. right now. we are literally within this devastation and you're looking at wind high school directly over my right shoulder. let me take you to my left here and you can just see the power. of what this tornado did just toppling large trees that have been here for at least decades. there's a home that's been exposed the living room with a piano just off in the distance there, and you can just actually see down that road. if my cameraman can panel little to the right, just how far the devastation goes that way the tornado actually skipped over this church knocked knocked over the steeple of this particular church. and as it moved over this direction landed almost directly on top of this win high school. this is home of the yellow jackets, and earlier i walked onto their football field. this is where they have t

>> that's right, fredricka. so broadly speaking, we're seeing an increase in mortgage fees for people with higher credit scores. and a decrease in fees for people with lower credit scores. that does not mean that people who have lower credit scores will have less in fees. it's just an adjustment here. and these apply to loans that are backed by freddie mac and fannie mae. let me show you what this looks like. if you put down a 20% down payment, the old fee was 3% of the low. if you had a 640 credit score, which is on the lower side. on the new standards, the new fee is going to be 2.25%. if you have a higher credit score of around 740, the old fee was 0.5% of the loan. now it's almost 0.9%. so this is just another change that home buyers have to deal with right now. there's a lot of moving pieces in the housing market, right? mortgage rates have gone up. home prices were going down. now they're starting to creep up again. and now they have the change to mortgage fees. >> all right, remarkable. a remarkable week

fredricka magk paton walsh will look forward to seeing all of it. everyone watch as nick and his team embark on this treacherous journey through the darien gap, lawless jungle riddled with danger alongside migrants hoping for a better life. on the other side, the first installment this highly anticipated series the whole truth with anderson cooper. premieres tomorrow night. eight p.m. right here on cnn. we'll be right back. open to lenti and raise the jar to gelato made fromom scratch, raise the jar to flavors from the world's finest ingredients and now from jars, two bars, gelato and sorbet toe minibars. this is what it feels like to file with tax layer refund, boss all your refund is belong to me, not today. no percent when you follow a text layer for free. one prilosec otc each morning heartburn all day and all night otc reduces excess asset for 24 hours blocking heartburn before it starts one pill a day. 24 hours zero heartburn jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if your age 50 to 85 looking t

hey fredricka. there is a mixture it seems of concern and also relief concerned that things could escalate further, especially given what we saw overnight and these retaliatory strikes from israel that have forced seemed to hit some pretty benign, pretty insignificant targets yet later, lebanese security source told my team here in beirut that those actually weren't benign targets. these actually were targets that belonged to palestinian militant groups that actually did have weapons at them. and so there's plenty of concern here that things could escalate being expressed by the un by that same source, but there's also relief about who was supposedly involved in the this barrage of rockets. from lebanon into israel, and more importantly, who was not. this is the lebanese foreign minister earlier today, listen. but we found out that this palestinians that did it not as well a at all , and it is really good that neither has well nor israel is escalating. you can hear the relief in his voice there, obv

fredricka people are tense. you know, there's a lot of emotion in the air because this town and when arkansas took a direct hit it was just moments ago that the governor of arkansas, sarah huckabee, sanders, arrived on this location at the wind high school. we've been reporting from here with the devastated church behind us now for a good 24 hours. you can see the scrum of journalists behind me. the media just waiting to hear what she has to say. as she tours the home of the yellow jackets. this is the wind high school. you can have my cameraman pan around just to see the scope of the devastation. this is really just a drop in the bucket. but as sarah huckabee sanders, the governor of arkansas, arrived on this location, she was flanked by several other federal employees, including a female administrator, as well as a national weather service member . and i kind of piqued my ear in a little bit just to listen to the conversation because it was very busy, very active. and the meteorologist from the national weathe

fredricka derek van dam. it looks like people really are playing together in a very big way as best they can. we'll check back with you, derek meteorologists brightly ritz is tracking a new extreme weather pattern right now, and texas is among the bullseye locations. absolutely fred. we are watching this area highlighted in orange dallas wichita falls all included. this is more of a wind and hail threat, especially the hail. but several large tornadoes cannot be ruled out. hail size. we're talking two inches, if not larger in diameter. not much to show right now on radar. we've got a stalled boundary that's eventually going to lift north as it does ahead of the dry line . that area that depicts how much moisture is in the air. we've got that warm, moist. here and that will be fuel for the storms to really start to thrive. we notice sunday, six o'clock in the evening local time, central time they really start to fire up right around dallas fort worth begin to slide into louisiana parts of arkansas back into th

it's the top of the hour here in the cnn newsroom, i'm fredricka whitfield in new york and right now in nashville state, lawmakers are about to vote on whether or not to expel three of their own for using a bullhorn during a gun control rally at the capitol to call for action in the wake of last month's deadly shooting that left 39 year old children and three adults dead. they are now accused of breaking house roles , and moments ago, the chamber voted to allow the viewing of a republican edited video of the day. the protest took place one week ago. alright it's been a contentious afternoon and at any moment now we expect to final vote on whether they will be able to keep their job. you're looking at live pictures right now, and that's lawmaker justin jones of nashville. he is the first of the three lawmakers who will be hearing about their legislative fate in a vote. he has been speaking about five minutes and the clock allows him around another 15 before the first vote might happen, or ryan young is outside the a state capital, where he is joined by a whole lot of protesters who we

well for fredricka. they're acting quickly here because they're really up against the clock because remember that texas judge said that by friday at midnight, central time, his ruling will go into effect. that ruling will eliminate the fda approval of this abortion drug mifepristone , so the doj had to move fast here and what they've done just now is they are now asking the fifth circuit court of appeals to actually put a pause on the judge's ruling beyond that, seven days and much longer. they're asking for two stays a short term stay and then a longer term stay while this appeals process plays out. and this is a conservative leaning fifth circuit, so it's uncertain as exactly how they'll rule in this case or if they will grant this motion for an administrator . over longer, longer term stay . they are asking the fifth circuit to make this decision by noon on thursday that way, if the fifth circuit doesn't go their way, they'll be able to immediately appealed to the supreme court by the end of the week

yeah, that's right, fredricka. she literally just arrived on the scene here in wynne, arkansas, where she was flanked by so many federal personnel and volunteers from fema administrators to a national weather service representative. i leaned into the conversation. remember, it's very chaotic when all these people arrive, according with accounting in all the security personnel surrounding her, but i had an opportunity to listen to her. and she meteorologists actually told her that at their earliest estimate that this was an ef three tornado here in wynne, arkansas, and that is at its base. right? so we're talking 100 and 36 to 165 mph. so i took it upon myself to ask sarah governor sanders about this particular moment with this meteorologist. i said, you know, what is it like? what were the meteorologists from the national weather service adequate and giving warning time to the residents here in arkansas, and i want you to take a listen to what she told me. so um, it sounds just from your press briefing that you you

you know, fredricka . quite frankly, i think it just depends on whether there is an r d after their name. hmm. you think it's strictly it's strictly politics. i really do. i think this is very political, you know, initially, when this happened, we had a little bit of an inkling that the that the controlling party and they wanted to do something about common sense gun regulations, but that has obviously been overtaken by this situation. and i'm i don't think that they're necessarily upset about that because i think they were in a position where they really did not want to go against the tennessee firearms association in the nra, and this is a good distraction. hmm um, we're watching live pictures now unclear what's being said right there in the chamber. but you know, you represent a lot of the families who sent their children to covenant school. how is your community doing? what are they saying about what is bubbling up here at the state capital. we will continue. well, first of all, i mean, our police and

thank you, fredricka. alright still ahead a viral social media trend has put an alarming spotlight on how easy it is to steal certain hyundai or kia cars and now officials from 17 states and the district of columbia want them recalled what the companies are saying next. lactate is 100%0% real milk just without t the lactose taste great and are iced coffffees to which makes wakingp at five am to milk the c cows a little easier. mm mabel says for you, it's more like 5 15. mom. reallyhen you're the leader in disaster, eanup and restoration. how doou make liket never even happened haened. being prepared for anything pro like you've never even happened. um. little bit of it. forever. i have from this state. come on, baby. more good sport express. clear. movement that inspires. i hear you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener. landscape er hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary same goes for your equipment. versatile powerful durable taboada equipment more goes into it, so you get more out of

fredricka. well, certainly pretty big incident that happened there today on the border with syria when you had those rockets that came flying over from syrian territory, the israel defense forces say they say that those came flying towards the golan heights, which, of course are held by israel and the israelis are saying that six rockets in total were launched. they say at least one rocket was intercepted. apparently one fell in a field on the golan heights, some also falling into syrian territory. one apparently fell into jordanian territory as well . nevertheless a pretty big incidents we just saw on our screens. they're some of the retaliated retaliation that the israelis launched. they say that a drone fired at some of those places where they believe that those rockets were fired from the also hit some syrian military installations as well and that's key because the israelis so far have not said that they believe that those rockets were actually fired by the syrian military or by anyone else

yes, fredricka.o the pentagon says that it is aware of these social media reports that appear to show these classified documents that came from the u. s. and nato that detail information about us training and us equipment being provided to the ukrainians in advance of their counter offensive there. now it is not clear at this point. how many of these documents have been released online and the pentagon has not given us any more indication on how these documents actually ended up there. that is part of what they're looking at right now. but look one of the things that they are telling. telling us is that they are cautioning that some of these documents while largely authentic, we are told, do appear to have been doctored in one such document that was reviewed by cnn. for example, there is an original document that was posted online that appears to show the accurate pentagon assessment of about 35 to 45,000 russians killed in action and another one that has been circulating on russian telegram channels

he is fredricka.and look, this is what i've talked to a number of members of his team to allies about this is all part of a very specific form of creating a narrative around this indictment . they want to paint this as having nothing to do with legalities at all that it's all about being political that it is a hoax. that's why you're seeing him nonstop on social media, and i will say it seems that a lot of republicans have bought into this narrative. we've seen him on social media going after alvin bragg. talking about how he's a democrat trying to link him to joe biden. we also know that he went after that judges. you said that he expected to appear before on tuesday, saying that this judge specifically quote hates him. hates donald trump. and it's not just the former president. what we've seen on social media from the former president is clips of allies of republicans going on air going on conservative media attacking brag, attacking the district attorney's office, attacking this indictment overall

i'm fredricka whitfield and we begin with breaking news. a prominent russian military blogger has

yes fredricka. i think that it's first.s amazing that this thing is still going on, regardless of the fact that netanyahu suspended the legislation, which means that the protesters don't believe that he's serious. that's number one second. it is still going on . while the security situation is the tier rating and the reason for that one of the reasons for that is that the main achievement of the protest is the fact that daniel had to backtrack on his decision to fire minister of defense. you have gallant? it just happened two weeks ago. we feel like it was 10 years ago. it's only happened two weeks ago, and people now are saying the protesters are saying that with the current violent escalation if they did not protest against the firing of the minister of defense, israel would have been in a much more serious and difficult security situation. are there any indicators that the prime minister netanyahu is willing to respond to this kind of public pressure? it is still i think the jury is still out. um when you asked netanyahu

i'm fredricka whitfield and we begin this hour with a

thank you for joining me, i'm fredricka whitfield.rm and dangerous, that's how police in texas are describing the suspect in a horrific mass shooting. 38-year-old francisco oropeza has not been seen since friday night's attack in cleveland, texas. investigators say he opened fire on his neighbors when they asked him to stop shooting his rifle outside so their baby could sleep. five people were killed, including an 8-year-old. authorities are expected to give an update on the man hunt at any moment. cnn's ed lavandera is there in cleveland, texas. he's joining us now on the phone. ed what has been said thus far? >> reporter: well, the last we heard from law enforcement investigators is that the trail for 32-year-old francisco oropeza had gone cold on saturday. however, investigators are -- just moments away at some point in the next few minutes scheduled to hold a briefing with reporters covering the story for an update. we don't know exactly what they plan on saying or exactly the nature of what this update will entail. but the search

i'm fredricka whitfield. cnn newsroom continues with jim acosta after this, but 1st april is autism awareness month and it's a time of year when 2022 top top 10, cnn hero, deborah vine's phone rings off the hook. with calls from parents impacted by autism since 2007 she and her nonprofit have provided thousands of families in underserved communities with support services and education that they need to thrive as the mother of a son with autism. she understands the daily challenges facing those she helps. children and adults that liberal autism are very repetitive. everything that they do. this is the same way. but when you have a career or parents that have other children and other responsibilities, sometimes it can be very, very, very, very challenging. thank you look handsome with autism awareness month comes we are in flux. with so many calls of so many families about the what if so, what can i do? do you have more resources we learned from each other? you know, the community should be more aware of the si

so fredricka. israel has indicated that it's not going to strike lebanese territory unless there is rocket fire coming from here again in its direction. so the question is, will there be? as you mentioned this meeting happened between the leadership of hezbollah, the lebanese militant and political group in this country, which to be clear has not been blamed for the rocket fire from lebanon, but they met with these palestinian militant groups to discuss, among other things, the readiness of the resistance axis resistance access to confront what's happening in jerusalem. at this point, there's no indication that there's going to be another attack, but in the meantime, it is the job of the lebanese military now to make sure that there isn't and as we found out that is no easy task. about an hour south of beirut. the yellow flags of israel's sworn enemy, the lebanese militant and political group hezbollah is the first sign that the jewish state doesn't have many friends here. after the police raid on

so fredricka. clearly this is not ending anytime soon, and in fact , the governor has also called for an investigation into this deal and the new board that he has put in place over. disney special district has also hired a bunch of lawyers to try to claw back some of their powers. and then how does this fight with disney affect desantis politically? well fredricka, you know, this is something that he has really made a central pillar of his potential candidacy. it's something he talks about. when he goes all across the country. it's an entire chapter of his book. and so this episode threatens to undermine the image that he has created himself as someone who has gone toe to toe with companies in his quest to fight woke. all right, steve cantor. oh, thanks so much. all right, still to come. a search is underway for a third juvenile sought in connection with the recent shooting deaths of three teenagers in central florida. two other juveniles have already been arrested, will have details. t mobile. yo

hi there, fredricka. well airman first class jack to share a 21 years old and you said he enlisted in the air national guard back in 2019 around four years ago. and then it was two years ago that he got his top secret clearance so that gave him access to all kinds of intelligence, according to the unsealed affidavit presented in court. it was back in december that to share a started posting classified information online first as just text but then photographs of these classified document. back in january. so fred, it was several months. between the time those photographs first appeared online and when they really surfaced publicly back on april 6th, which is when the story broke. that's when the secretary of defense lloyd austin, was first briefed. and then exactly a week later, so just on thursday, a couple of days ago is when to share was then arrested at his parents' home just south of boston. so how did airman first class to share a have access to these documents while he was part of the 102nd intelli

fredricka alright, because that is a big number. didn't realize until sam carly mentioned 19,000 americans who are there? not necessarily working, um, in coordination with the diplomatic corps that has been evacuated. all right. thank you so much. kevin liptak , kylie atwood. and of course, sam kiley. alright let's talk more about all of this in this operation. joining me right now . juliette kayyem. she is a cnn national security analyst and a former assistant secretary at the department of home. land security. alright so, um, what were the factors behind this decision in your view? it would be the scale speed and intensity of violence in sudan. that is just basically how this is deteriorated just over the course of a week would be the trigger for doing. you have to get our people out and then also pessimism about how quickly things can get resolved. look, there was supposed to be a ceasefire over e, the most sacred of holy holidays above holidays, and that did not hold when the ceasefire does not hold during the religious holiday.

yes so fredricka. it's important to understand that in any prosecution, particularly here where you have a murder prosecution, which simply means that you are you intended to kill someone you didn't have the justification to do it. a motive is not an element of the crime. what does that mean? it means that in the event that this went to a jury trial, we don't know that right? we just know that. ultimately the person accused will be brought before a judge, etcetera, and then they'll have an opportunity to dispute the case. yet the discovery and formacion and fight it make motions, etcetera, but there will be an opportunity. if there is a trial to present. what are your defenses? remember in doing that? the prosecution simply has to establish that you committed this murder that you intended to kill. and you did. the evidence seems to suggest that there's compelling as it relates that it even the recovery of the knife at that particular scene. there's a trail of blood. certainly there'll be a dna analysis

fredricka good afternoon to you. as the cleanup process here begins now crews are dealing with the wind behind us is the apollo theater, and last night people gathered here for concert. i want to show you the view from above. this is what the scene looked like moments after the roof collapsed inside more than 200 people. first responders say some of those folks were trapped underneath the debris. at least 28 people were injured. we're told one person was killed. some others have what have been called life threatening injuries . meanwhile within the last 90 minutes or so, this crew with the heavy equipment has been behind us working to clear this area. when we arrived on scene. obviously the fence was here, which says keep out. the area is barricaded, but there's a debris scattered throughout the street. this is a historic building. there's a marquee on the building that says 1921. if you're looking, you can see that. the foundation or the structure of the building is brick and those bricks have been scattered through

i'm fredricka whitfield.d right now, people across the midwest and south are picking up the pieces from a deadly tornado outbreak. the storms are being blamed for at least 10 deaths more than 50 reported, tornadoes touched down across seven states

good afternoon, fredricka.he more important ruling is, of course, the one out of texas where judge matthew has merrick invalidated. the fda is approval, which dates back to the year. 2000 for this medication, abortion drug, but he did suspend his ruling for seven days. so we're going to see appeals coming from the department of justice. and the first step is usually the fifth circuit court of appeals regional appellate court and then bound for the u. s. supreme court. attorney general america garland when he revealed last night that the government would be appealing. this decision, stressed that the food and drug administration had undertaken a very comprehensive review and decided that you know, based on the medicine the science that this drug was safe and effective for women who needed to end a pregnancy. now clearly, fredricka, this case is going to open up a new chapter of the abortion wars at the supreme court. i do want to say, though it's a the terrain is slightly different for this case we saw in june w

i'm fredricka whitfield back here tomorrow, smerconish right now. no guardrails.ichael smerconish in philadelphia two dozen young men united by an interest

fredricka scott mclean. thanks so much. alright the phantom of the opera , the longest running show on broadway will have its final curtain call tonight. up next we're live outside the iconic majestic theater on broadway. f r e oh, y yeah. frfree get a fre eye exam when you buy two pairs of glasses starting at just 79 dot com was stuck. unresolvedst depression. symptoms were in my way needed more for my antidepressant helps give it a lift to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. clinical studies most's on no substantial impact on weight dementia. patients have increased risk of death or stroke report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles and confusion as these may be life threatening or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain and high cholesterol may occur. movement, dy

it's function and what the concerns are, if it's off the table so fredricka. these two pills made for pistone and another pill called me so approachable. they're used together for miscarriages, and they're also used to induce abortions. and it's become actually the main way that american women are getting abortions. let's take a look in 2020. when it went on the market. the use has grown steadily since then. so right now, more than 53% of abortions in the u. s are by pill, not by surgery. now, let's take a look at the safety of this drug. so when any drug can have side effects. any drug can have deadly side effects for every million women who are taking this drug five deaths per million users. when you look at penicillin, it's 20 deaths per million users. viagra 49 deaths for pro stone is safer than either of those drugs and actually safer than many other drugs that are on the market. now if this texas judge of his ruling becomes the law of the land, it means that women in no states would be allowed to get it. so obviously that is a huge difference. you've got

fredricka kevin liptak, thank you so much. so the us evacuation mission began in the east african country of djibouti , and that's where cnn's sam kiley is. we're going to try to connect with him momentarily. alright. alright, we're going to try and reconnect with sam kiley momentarily alright, a pair of fiery flights on two different american airlines planes had passengers on edge in this country over the skies of ohio. just take a look and you can see flames shooting out of the wing as the plane was making its way back to columbus and in a different situation. a plane was forced to return to charlotte, north carolina airport after a fire happening there and you can see the flames. cnn's polo sandoval is following all of this polo frightening moments for passengers on two separate planes. common denominators fires american airlines. yeah, these two incidents fred not appearing to be related, but both causing some very tense moments for passengers aboard these two separate flights the last couple of days, let's get to the firs

fredricka ariana vogue. thanks so much for that. alright doctors in states that allow abortion are weighing in on the supreme court's decision. cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen, has more. doctors in states that allow abortions said they were relieved by the decision last night from the u. s supreme court, allowing them to still use mifepristone. that's one of two drugs that are used for abortions and for miscarriages. let's take a look at why 53% of abortions in the united states use these pills. they're not surgical abortions, their medication, abortions, and mr preston, it has a great safety profile women have been using it for more than 20 years in the united states, millions of women have used it when you look at deadly side id effects. it's safer than viagra. it's safer than penicillin. now, if doctors in states that allow abortions had been told you can't use medford kristen anymore if they have been told that they would have just used the second drug miser, prostate all by itself, but they say it's less effe

fredricka ariana vogue. thank you so much. alright so many questions still about how this will impact access to abortions nationwide. cnn's isabel rizal is here with more on this. so despite the ruling there a lot of other restrictions already in place, depending on what state and jurisdiction you're in. right and what this all proves is that the fight over abortion access is not going anywhere. really. since the overturning of roe v. wade we have seen on the ground a manifestation of a patchwork system where abortion policy is largely left up to the states and blue states. we've seen protections come about to protect abortion access and rut states. restrictions or outright bans against abortion. by 2022 jobs. the jackson the supreme court reverses the constitutional right to an abortion held for nearly a half century across the nation. intense backlash and scrutiny follows. abortion bans are illegitimate, forced motherhood is illegitimate justice samuel alito, writing for the court majority, called the original 1973 roe v. wa

i'm fredricka whitfield. new details this hour. authorities in texas are urgently searching for a gunman suspected of killing five people at a home in texas, including an 8-year-old among the dead. the suspect fled the scene before police arrived, leading to today's desperate manhunt. cnn's ryan young is following this for us. they've put out a picture, you've got a name. any developments on the search? >> reporter: finally some movement because we've been talking about this for the last few hours. you want to see that picture up, oropeza, the reason we want to put it up is we're trying to help the sheriff's department in that area about 45 miles outside of houston find this man. what we've learned so far, the neighbors nextdoor heard gunshots and went next door and asked him, could you stop shooting, we have a young child trying to go to sleep. he responded angry and said, i can do whatever i want. at some point, according to the sheriff's department, he went next door and started shooting people. five peopl

really in the lead up to this decision, fredricka the administration had been working behind the scenes to develop some contingency plans. at the counsel's office at the department of justice and within the president's senior team. those options will remain on the table as this moves forward in the courts. but i also think it's important to note something else that the president said in his steam a, which is that if americans want to see abortion rights preserved they will need to use their vote as their voice. essentially they will need to elect lawmakers who support abortion rights if they want to see the protections of roe versus wade, which was stripped away whether supreme court last year restored and that really does get at the politics of all this, certainly as the president gears up for reelection as democrats hit the campaign trail, this will be a central issue for them over the next year. certainly, they believe this can galvanize supporters heading in to the 2024 elections so even as president, the president's advisers focus on the public health issues at stake here, there ar

i'm fredricka whitfield and we begin today with a deadly mass shooting in alabama.t happened last night in the small town of david ville. officials say four people were killed, and there were also quote a multitude of injuries. they say the incident was tied to a birthday party that coming from police and it happened downtown cnn's isabelle rose salas is following the latest developments, and she's joining me right now from dade ville. isabelle, what are you learning? hey friday, stolen, active and busy scene out here. you can see the yellow police tape blocking off essentially a block here leading into the venue right behind me. that brick building that is where the shooting occurred. it's a dance studio, and we're told by a witness. this was a sweet 16th birthday party. this is where the shooting occurred. we recently heard in the last couple of hours from the alabama law enforcement agency elia, who say that they have launched a death investigation. the shooting happening just after 10 30 saturday night here in david villa, really tight knit community of small co

well fredricka, thanks for inviting me on this beautiful for some of us, but painful for quite a few bit bath associates sunday. um i think what we're seeing is something somewhat inevitable. the eruption of retail large box retailers in general has been happening for a decade, particularly the perfect storm we've seen over the last three or four years. you had covid and you had supply chain issues. the incredible growth of amazon and online shopping changes of immediacy of shopping . um i think all of those factors plus a somewhat behind the track e commerce platform for bed bath made this a somewhat foreseeable outcome. mm hmm. gosh but it did seem to be one of the dominant, you know, retailers out there for a very long time, and it's been incredible ride, right? but uh, like you said, you're these big box kind of items stores. i mean, it seems like it's following the wayside of just like a toys r us or a circuit city. um even though these are very unique stores, i mean, they don't have huge competition in terms of a store that you know, focuses on one particular thing. but is it a
