Reporter good morning mike. Well, this will be petraeus first public appearance since the sex scandal broke. The Justice Department says that his affair didnt put the nation at risk. Well, the hearings, the first day of the hearing yesterday did give lawmakers a better idea of what happened. Lawmakers were first shown cell phone video of the attack. It revealed the initial attack was not well planned and in part was inspired by televised scenes of protestors storming the American Embassy in cairo because of an antimuslim video running on the internet. Others seemed to be more interested in looting. It left the consulate in flames. The surviving americans then retreated to a cia safe house a mile away. But then, this was a four hour lull in the fighting which gave the rescue team a chance to get over to benghazi, but ten minutes later, the attackers brought in mortar. They started the assault. This was captured on security cameras and a drone overhead. More organized this time and deliberate. There were five rounds, two missed and three hit. Number one, were mistakes made . Guys we know mistakes were made and weve got to learn from that. And our membership asked some very hard and very tough questions of our witnesses today. And were going to continue to do that. Reporter well, petraeus will be appearing today at the hearing but lawmakers say they are focusing solely on the attacks in benghazi. The hearings will continue today on day two can then it will continue to next week. There will be two more hearings then a public hearing where we can hear a little more of the details and the some of the classified information. Back to both of you. All right. With that update from the hill. Israeli officials had suspended their offensive in the strip because of the brief visit by egypts premier. However israel responded firing on hamas commanders home because they say the palestinians broke the truce. Three israelis and 18 palestinians were killed earlier in cross border attacks with the Israeli Military and hamas. Fighter jets drops the bombed on the target in gaza this morning. It was the heaviest fighting in the region in four years. The Largest Oil Spill in u. S. History is leading to the largest criminal fine in u. S. History.

C. , maryland and 14 other states already established these exchanges. Virginia will not be creating one and 13 states still have not decided yet. 6 35. A special your money report from Jessica Doyle. Where are you jess . I am still out on the bus. There is the warby parker class trip bus traveling the country and bringing 99 frames really hip frames to different cities around the country. Of course they are now in washington which they say is their favorite city yet. Joining me now is cofounder neil whos going to help me find the perfect of glasses, what am i going to be looking for . Just positions work best. If you have a particularly round best you want square frames and vice versa. Were charging 95 and you can take a little more risk than typically. You should have that as many as you have shoes or handbags. I completely agree with this, when are we going to start . The sloan flames, this is from frames, this is from our holiday collection. I will freeze three on. You guy try these on. You guys also have a social mission. You remember here yesterday you were here yesterday talking about altruism and corporations. We think that business should be sort of designed to involve problems no. Create them. So not create them. So for us we had that experience walking into an optical shop and being really excited about a pair of glasses but walking out having spent the same thing we dit on the iphone. Warby parker was designed to solve that problem and also sort of bradder problems. When you look at sort of the world theres almost a billion people that dont have access to glasses, even at 95 they cant afford them. For every pair we sell we try to donate one. I partnered with a nonprofit that trains plane and women in the developing men and women in the developing world. Something a different when you treat somebody like a value Conscious Consumer rather than a needy beneficiary. I think thats fantastic. You also are thinking of opening a store in washington, d. C. Fingers crossed. Whats the lates on that . Were still looking for a place, we think the future of retail is sort of this intersection of breast cancers and mortar and e bricks and mortar and e commerce. Most of the sales are through warbyparker. Com but we want people to physically interact with us on the bus. I like these i forgot the name of those. The preston. I think these are the ones guys, back to you in the studio. And i see our guests are also taking advantage of war by there too. Get some new shades.

No real problems got a couple of sprinkle this is morning south and east of town but this is going to be green across the board. Right through thanksgiving. Nice, nice. Good news, a lot of folks who are traveling and most of the country in fact on thanksgiving eve looks quiet. I think the Pacific Northwest about the worst of it. Heres a look at the day planner bus stop forecast actually before the day planner on this friday. We love fridays. We love fridays. Not as much as saturdays but we love fridays. Mostly cloudy. Sprinkle south and east though. 30s can 40s this morning. And 40s morning. Sot gop breaks in the clouds got some breaks in the cloud cover. Hes 31 this morning in virginia. Got temperatures and you can see in Tysons Corner mostly cloudy. 51 by noon. Were going to have some more breaks than this i believe as we get midday. And in fact i think these icons should reverse themselves. Well get to about 55 with a 51 degree reading again at 5 00 and the sun will have already set. Sprinkles you see them, some light showers generally across areas to our south and east. Across calvert county, across the bay, weve seen some more of the light showers scattered about now around queenstown to easton to cambridge then Southern Maryland still some showers, back into the Northern Neck and all of this moving off toward the northeast. Be around for a few more hours and the afternoon certainly looks better than this morning. Especially down this. 39 in rockville. 34 lovettsville. Thats the cold spot locally with 38 in fairfax and if they dont get the thing fixed in burke im going to pull it off the map. With 39 in arlington. Right now outside on the michael son weather camera, mostly cloudy skies this morning. To overcast here. Youre looking at Tysons Corner. 42 with very light wind so not really any windchill. 42. The humidity at 65 . So weve got the one little disturbance coming across the region this morning. You see the showers with it. Pulling away from north carolina. Across areas in the Northern Neck. Southern maryland. The Eastern Shore. Well get rid of that and sunshine will come some sunshine this afternoon. And then the weekend actually looks pretty decent. That coastal storm . Still going to form but i think far enough south and east wont be much of a problem. 55 today with some afternoon sun. Some areas in the low 50s north and west and 36 tonight with upper 20s in the cold spots. Tomorrow 55. Sunday 54. So for the terps game, the redskins game, looks all right.

One more thing before we go. Bullying Cyber Bullying is a big problem and youve heard of the Hacking Group called anonymous. And you always they talk about how they kind of target companies. Well, theres a 15yearold girl who is in high school and was being bullied and considering suicide. She put this on the facebook posting. On twitter as well and a bunch of the High School Classmates tried to encourage her to go ahead with it. I mean these are people she knows. I want to emphasize, can you imagine people horrible, horrible language. Somebody else died and youll meet her there. Die, die, die. Awful. That Hacking Group anonymous found out and they inundated the bullies this really makes me sad. Inundated the bullies with tweets of their own and they shut it all down and made them go to her and apologize faceto face. If they didnt the police were coming and they stopped it. So bullying needs to stop and its a great story. Its on my Facebook Page if you want to read the tweets and thest of the story. Being bullied dont put it online. Go reach out to somebody and get some help. This is not the venue or forum for it. These are not nice people. What adults are going to grow up to be. Horrible people. Weve got a good day today.
