medal of the year. there's controversy over whether or not they should count his vote in the state of hawaii. technically if you pass away you voted you are not supposed to. people are saying, look,

getting more determined to have action. we had speaker boehner move forward hey listen we want to get something done we are going to get answers. senator fine stein earlier this week indicated to vice-chairman of the intelligence committee they will be hearing shortly. >> the night of the attack we know there wasn't just one drone there were two circling above watching they were both unarmed. meanwhile we discovered apparently inside the compound they had 10 video cameras. that video took them i believe 20 days to get it back from the living. it has been reviewed by the fbi and the state department. but it would be interesting to take a look at that video. you would be able to tell exactly what went down the night the four americans were murdered. >> still many questions and we have a clearer picture of what happened that night. gregg palkot went to the scene and we have a detailed report of exactly what happened, when. >> here is greg. >> september 11th around 10:00 p.m. it takes up part of the first floor of the main residence is black with thick smoke and fumes. ambassador stevens move to the bathroom within the safe area which has a window. they try to open it but it doesn't help. there's just too much smoke. they drop to the floor trying to get air. even down there they can't breathe. they leave the safe haven and take their chances. they find another window grill they can open. this is the window the special agent jimmies open and crawls out of. stevens and smith do not crawl out after him. even though he can barely see barely breathe he goes back in. he goes back in and out several times. he can't find them. he is over come with smoke. he struggled up a small ladder to the roof of the building and collapses. he radios the other agents. another u.s. agent emerges from the tact kel operation center throwing a smoke grenade he moves to the small residence and gets the two agents there out. the three get into an armored vehicle parked nearby and drive a short distance to the large residence. they crawl into the residence on their hands and knees feeling their way through the building to try to find their two colleagues. they find smith, they pull him out of the building. he's dead. now remember the crack security team is gone but the small unit of security at the annex a mile away. six americans and 16 from the libyan militia arrive. some surround the compound. the others go in. they are unable to find stevens. by 11 the libyan forces say they can no longer hold the perimeter. the american agents carrying smith's body pile into an armored vehicle and exit the main gate. they head for the annex about a mile away. the crowd fires upon them throws two grenades under their vehicle. they take direct fire from ak-47's from about 2 feet away. despite two flat tires and heavy damage to the vehicle they keep rolling. several blocks away they hit more traffic in a busy neighborhood. the kawasme reasons over the middle divider pushes forward against traffic finally makes it to the annex and again hopes for safety. sometime after midnight back at the mission looters enter the building and find the body of stevens shrimped on the floor. they don't know who he is they drag him out through a window, his eyes are dazed his face smoke stained seemingly lifeless. back in the annex the battle is on again. fighters hitting the place with ak-47 fire and rocket propelled grenades forcing those inside to retreat to a building further back in the annex compound. sometime after 1:30 at the benghazi airport a team of reinforcements arrives from the u.s. embassy in tripoli. they make their way to the annex. according to reports they were going into an ambush. around 4:00 a.m. this annex compound is hit by another wave of attacks. it is described as planned and precise a round of mortar fire targeting the roof of the building that was well behind this date. that turned out to be dangerous and deadly. >> killed in that attack two security personnels glen daughterty 42 and tyrone woods 41 both former navy seals. badly injured special agent david ubin the same man who struggled to save the lives of ambassador stevens and information manager smith. the fighters are repelled the annex reportedly a base of operations for sensitive intelligence work tracking militants in eastern libya is secured. a decision is made to evacuate the whole enterprise. >> that's a fantastic look by gregg palkot. the state department was watching this as well through the drone as it played out as well. >> one drone was sent 2 and a half hours after the attack began a. second drone came a number of hours after that probably to relieve it because it was running out of fuel. >> all of that intelligence on other people and other people they were targeting he said it was secured. i heard that was all taken. i hope greg -- >> that is one of the questions that remain. you spoke earlier about the hearings that the senate intelligence committee is going to have. guess when they start? november 15th after the election. >> a third of them are running for real election. bret baier said they are reworking the libyan special it will be this weekend on fox news channel. you can get all that we know so far as we have tried to connect the dots. >> 12 minutes after the hour. next on the rundown the president on the

i believe it. if the current track comes true. and i worry about geraldo. geraldo has a boat, so he needs to secure that boat. people need to be taking precautions. i gave my husband a honey-do list. generators, batteries, cell phone chargers, we need all of that to come together this weekend if you live anywhere from the delmarva towards maine, know what your evacuation route is. here's your future radar as we head into saturday and sunday, part of storm coming onshore but the worst is going to come at the beginning of the work week. there is that front that is going to merge up with this storm and bring it back into the northeast coastline. the track, still 80 miles per hour hurricane. as we head into monday, tuesday, overnight tuesday making landfall. i don't want you to pay attention to the center of the storm because we're going to feel tropical storm force winds 300 miles from the center of the storm. it's going to bat ter the coastline and some of the computer models slow this storm down for days. not only are we going to see battering winds, waves and rain, it's going to last, going to be relentless. we could have power outages, millions without power for days, maybe even weeks. that's the bad news unfortunately. >> we were just discussing with geraldo, geraldo was saying how do you vote? if you're a candidate, how do you get out the vote? all everyone is going to be talking about is their own protection, their own safety. we're going to for the first time in a year and a half not be talking about the general election days before the general election. >> right now there's early voting in a number of states. if the storm becomes gigantic, a lot of people are probably going to be doing like janice is having her husband dedicate themselves to the honey-do list. voting is going to be the last thing they'll think about. there is a possibility, according to one news source, second storm expected to push across the midwest and mid-atlantic on election day itself. so everyone should vote now if they can. >> in the meantime we've got to get you ready for headlines. a mother returns home to find her two young children murdered by the nanny. >> [inaudible] enters the bathroom and finds her six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son stabbed to death in the tub. >> a doctor returned to her manhattan apartment. she had her three-year-old daughter with her. after her nanny didn't show up for swimming lessons with the other two children, she found her six-year-old daughter and two-year-old son in the bath tub, both with stab wounds. police say the nanny stabbed them and then tried to take her own life. the children's father was returning from a business trip. he was notified when he arrived at the airport. the nanny this morning in critical condition. >> he was one of j.r.'s top rivals on "dallas." >> where is my son?

>> i'm not sure about the p.r. message campaigning if people perish. let's go to the libya story. many people criticized the president for going off and campaigning. now we're learning more from these e-mails, geraldo. we had representative mike kelly on the show, and here is what he said this morning. >> we had people in washington watching this in realtime. these people are there doing their best job to do what they need to do to protect our people there. and they're asking for help, and they're not getting it. and we have people watching it in realtime. these are the same people that can describe in great detail watching the take-down of bin laden in realtime but they cannot describe what they watched in realtime, the attack in benghazi. we knew what happened with bin laden but we refuse to admit what happened in benghazi. >> geraldo, i've heard some of our people there who were protecting the staff there, they were calling for send in a gunship. we need a gunship. >> i don't know that to be true. and i don't believe this congressman ever served in the military. the reason i say that is this is preposterous this notion that the pentagon was watching this in realtime. >> the state department was monitoring in realtime. >> they may have been monitoring phone calls, audio, but these drones did not get overhead until two and a half hours after the attack began. people, stop. stop this with this notion of live tv and why didn't we respond. it is not what happened. the first drone gets there two and a half hours after the attack. then it is replaced by a second unarmed drone that came some four hours after the attack. that was it. we scrambled our rapid response team based in europe. they got to sicily, still almost 500 miles from libya, hours after. we all know general hamm. he had the striker brigade in mosul, iraq. general hamm and general dempsey were both of the opinion we don't send more americans into harm's way until we know what is going on. i think we have to stop this politicizing -- >> nobody is saying the pentagon wasn't ready. >> we're getting away from the real issue which is why wasn't there security before this happened. that's the issue. but these preposterous allegations, reckless allegations that somebody, they paint the picture, some fed bureaucrat watching tv. you heard -- >> someone told me yesterday -- >> i think that is beyond the -- >> senator mccain said if you send an f-16, which he knows firsthand, he says they do it all the time. when they feel like they're losing control of people on the ground, they send an f-16 and # 0% of the time -- and 90% of the time they clear it out. >> remember the conflicting cables. they say we're under attack, our people are under attack and our people are missing. that's 4 something. at 6 something they say the attack is over. they gave false -- incorrect information. you don't know where are you going to send in. what they see is flames there. we have to concentrate on what is real. what is real is that we had an absolute intelligence failure. we didn't have security at that embassy or consolate. and we have to also ask the question of whether or not congress was willing to give the additional fund to the state department to beef up security. >> they used supplemental funds to hire the blue mountain group. they could have used that same money. they could find money. even that charlene woman said -- >> yesterday i interviewed senator barraso, stphof inhofe and -- senator inhofe and senator crocker, three republican senators who sit on the senate foreign relations committee, they agree the super charged atmosphere around this story, prudence dictates these hearings be postponed when they can determine what happened. in this climate now where you have darrell issa -- >> we don't have that kind of time. let's say you were in the state department and you say okay, in a month we'll find out how to be safe. what about tomorrow? >> do we want to try to influence the election with a tragedy that happened in north africa? this whole story about the drones -- >> we should know the drones weren't overhead in real time watching these people being murdered. >> don't you think the american people need to know the answers of what happened there before they vote? >> gretchen action i -- gretchen, i believe based on the lack of security, based on sending susan rice to the talk show circuit days later to give a, voluntarily big and misleading explanation of what -- complete explanation of what happened, let them vote on that stuff. but in terms of what the military could have done -- >> you are an investigative reporter and you have the story moving because our great reporters are getting sources and more information. should we stop that until november -- >> our probing is different than the senate hearing where i think grand standing plays a part. let us probe. let us get these facts, the fact a drone only came two and a half hours later -- >> as an american -- >> somebody knows the answer. i think people know enough to effect their vote. >> geraldo, always a pleasure. >> ozzie osbourne was on my devil worship show back in -- >> i'm sure. >> president obama won virginia in 2008 but now mitt romney pulling ahead there. what does that say about that swing state and others? others? we'll be right back. you can't argue with nutrition you can see. great grains. great grains cereal starts whole and stays whole. see the seam? more pcessed flakes look nothing like natural grains. i'm eating what i kn is better nutrition. mmmm. great grains. search great grains and see for yourself. if you're a man with low testosterone, you should know that axiron is here. the only underarm treatment for low t. that's right, the one you apply to the underarm. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18. axiron can transfer to others through direct contact. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acnen women may occur. report these signs and symptoms to your doctor if they occur. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. do not use if you have prostate or breast cancer. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm count; ankle, feet, or body swelling; enlarged or painful breasts; problems breathing while sleeping; and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. see your doctor, and for a 30-day free trial, go to axiron.com. >> president obama is now on a six-day tour. it was going to be a 12-state tour but he saw the price of gas so they cut it back to six states. >> brand-new fox polls show president obama falling behind in virginia, a key swing state that he won in 2008. here with that information and other polls in the battle ground states to tell us about this race is the chairman of the virginia victory effort in 2012. good morning, pete. what's going on in virginia? why the change? >> major momentum for governor romney and paul ryan and also george allen. we're the number-one battle ground since the state in the country for the white house but we have the number-one senate race. and all of our candidates are showing major momentum out there. if you look at the polls right now for president, every single one of them public and private for the past four weeks have shown mitt romney, governor romney, and congressman ryan ahead. you see george allen hopping ahead as well. >> he's going up against tim kaine, a popular virginian there. let's look at this poll. this is economy and jobs. back to the presidential race, who would do a better job based on the economy? in september obama-biden with 49%. now romney-ryan is 50% and obama-biden 44%. what's changed? was it the first debate that people saw mitt romney in a different light? >> seismic shift. it was that first debate. for the first time ever 80 million americans got to see governor romney without the filter of the liberal media going toe to toe with barack obama. they heard his plan for energy independence, which is important in virginia, especially in coal country and in hampton rhodes. they heard his plan for a stronger military. they don't want the military debt decimated especially the navy which has so many jobs in virginia. they heard the number-one issue in virginia, men, women, african-americans, latinos, the economy and jobs. they saw president obama for the first time in months without a teleprompter and without a plan. that was a game changer. >> both candidates weighing heavily on the women. choice for president among women likely voters, obama-biden down to 49% what's up with american women? >> obama has been cratering, cratering on the economy and the military, both of which play in a major way in virginia among men and women. this is a pocketbook and wallet election, and that's the number-one driver. that's why our governor, bob mcdonnell has been so successful in virginia. he has approval ratings soaring through the roof. governor allen is picking up major traction on tim kaine because he's for energy independence, for a stronger military and also against the tax increases that tim kaine tried to, when he was governor of virginia, he tried to push through the largest tax increase in the history of the commonwealth. didn't even get a single democratic vote out of his own party. amazing. >> pete snider, a lot of information in the state of virginia, one of the very important swing states. thanks so much for your time. next on the rundown, the president using a swear word to describe mitt romney?

>> a fox business alert. the government releasing its third quarter g.d.p. numbers. our country's economy grew at 2%. that's up from 1.3%. the rate for the second quarter, by the way, which ended up being revised downward. the second quarter was. what does this mean to you? what does it mean to our economy? charles payne looks at this. they predicted 1.9. it shows we're moving in the right direction, charles? >> i'm sort of tired of that comment moving in the right direction. i think the bigger question, to be honest, is are we living up to our potential and the answer is absolutely not. 2% growth is ridiculous, anemic. what we've seen with the stock market getting hammered is we can no longer celebrate or look past mediocrity. we've been able to do it as a country. with the stock market, we can't do it longer. this number might be revised. ultimately it could be significantly number because all these numbers have been revised lower. with the u.s. economy growing at perhaps less than 2%, it's not where we should be. supposedly at this stage of the game in a post-recession period. >> there was a theory that recovery was going to go on turbo speed. like we dropped, we were supposed to recover that way and that has not happened. the other thing is the fiscal cliff. we hear about it, we debate about it. but i did not know how much it's affecting business. the looming fiscal cliff has business spooked. how?
