that an individual who voted 95% of the time for every budget that came before you, you ve raised the debt limit nine times in washington, d.c., and to stand here in front of the people in the state of texas and say, trust me, i m going to balance the budget, that s a little tough to understand. up first, though, breaking news tonight in libya. there are missing missiles, thousands of them, and mounting concerns here in washington they could fall into the hands of al qaeda or other terrorist groups. and as we speak tonight, the libyan rebels who forced moammar gadhafi from power claim to have their former dictator surrounded. they won t say where, but they insist he won t escape this time. cnn s ben wedeman live for us in tripoli. ben, the rebels have claimed to be on gadhafi s close trail before. do we view credibly these indications tonight from their spokesman that they have gadhafi surrounded? reporter: i m approaching these claims with a certain amount of skepticism.
reporter: well, joe sestak is trailing in the latest polls against republican pat toomey there significantly depending on the poll that you re looking at, and this is a very clear choice when it comes to pennsylvania. the two candidates running very different campaigns. they re not similar, they are on two sides of the spectrum. and i think the president campaigning for joe sestak indicates that sestak believes that he needs the heft of the obama administration despite the president s approval ratings even in a place like pennsylvania. jenna: bret, always good to see you early. we get a preview, and we appreciate it. bret baier, again, special report 6 p.m. eastern time this evening. jon: a fox news alert, and it could be a nightmare for commuters including myself in new york city. take a look at this, harris is on it. harris? reporter: yeah, a nightmare, indeed, and very
it s a former president, not the current president campaigning in florida for kendrick mee. i know a lot of people are mad and a lot of people are frustrated. but i want you to think of this. those of you who are over 40 will know this. you just forget about politics a minute. every time in your life you made an important decision just because you were mad, there s about an 80% chance you made a mistake, isn t there? so what i want you to think about is how people can deal with their frustration and anger and fear and worry. what is the best way to do that? and here s what i would like to say about it. the country normally turns to
