stacey: it is.ow well the off-price channel has been doing , whether that is ross or tjx, backstage macy's is doing their own off-price inside the stores. i would argue that cannibalize is your business. everybody is trying to chase that business down. obviously, retail apparel has been tough. they get all of the good overflow into the stores and they sell to you at a discount. alix: when we talk about home depot and kohl's it would be easy to make a narrative the consumer is weak but it seems like that is not what you are seeing. stacey: that is not the case. not all retailers are created equal. target and walmart are putting up amazing comps because they are doing specific things for target black private labels. for kohl's, it is an older customer, they are trying to get the younger customer in and not able to do it. trying to do beauty initiatives, kind of too little, too late. it is very much the have and have-nots. romaine: with regards to pricing a discounting, i have noticed anecdotally you a

we've spoken to a number of the family members who were familiar with stacey. a time. they believe that jimmy finel is the person who committed the crime. and i think that everybody involved in this case, ultimately, wants justice. and the question is should we convict a person and sentence them to death and execute them when the evidence shows they actually did not commit this crime? and i think that the answer to that is, of course, no. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it and keep us updated. >> will do. >> and thank you for watching. our coverage continues. and evee has dad's eyebrows! we chose eleanor. it was great-grandma's name. so apparently, we come from a long line of haberdashers, which is a fancy word for... they left everyone, and everything so they could get here. and start this family. every family has a unique story. this holiday season, help your family discover theirs. the medicare enrollment deadline is only weeks away. with so many changes, do you know if your plan is still the right fit? having the wrong plan may cost you thousands of doll
