Thank you to everyone who responded. Were going to have to try that restaurant. It is in our neck of the woods when we go home. We appreciate you joining us today. Have a good day. Fox friends starts right now. Bye. Good morning. It is wednesday, october 8. Im elisabeth hasselbeck. We begin with a fox news alert. Do you know who this were here in the 17th Division Military base just outside the city of iraqa. He could be an american and the f. B. I. Wants your help identifying the voice you just heard. Meanwhile, the president famously dodged this question. Did he tell you, secretary panetta, it was a terrorist attack . You know what he told me was there was an attack on our compound. He didnt use the word terror. This morning he, the former secretary of defense, leon panetta,
telling what he really did tell the president the night of the attack in benghazi. Routine traffic stop ends with shattered glass and a stun gun. Oh [bleep] that family says its Excessive Force but you have not heard the whole story yet. Well play you the tape and maybe you can decide because mornings are better with friends. Youre watching fox friends. And if you aint, why not . Larry has a new song. Hes set up over there. Hes in the green room sucking down some of the free coffee. Actually he was outside a while ago. I think he was looking at the Lunar Eclipse. That is one big sight in the sky. Kind of scary it looks. Were a couple of weeks
away from halloween and youve got this scary cloud, the Lunar Eclipse. Maria will join us later on and well talk more about it. I challenge you a galaxy. Without further competition, great to see you guys again. We have a neart for you now. We have a fox news alert for you now. Do you know who this terrorist is . Were here in the 17th Division Military base just outside the city of iraqa. He could be american. And now the f. B. I. Wants you to help them figure out who it could be. Peter doocy is live in washington. What is the f. B. I. s strategy . Are they really asking americans to step up . They are, elisabeth. The f. B. I. Believes there are a dozen americans fighting alongside isis and one of them is now heard speaking with a north american accent in this clip the f. B. I. Is
circulating. They want people to listen to his voice, see the little bit of his face that is uncovered and help figure out who this masked militant is. Were here with the soldiers of bashad. You can see them digging their graves in the very place they were stationed, the very place they are stationed terrorizing people [inaudible] carried out on these same soldiers by the brothers from the mujahedin. Behind them you can see the officers residents filled with blut bullet holes. The f. B. I. Says the propaganda highlighted features a fluent english speaker and appears to be a highly stylized recruitment tools. We know Many Americans who joined isis or tried to hailed from the minneapolis area. A few months ago. The f. B. I. Gave Business Cards to Community Leaders there with a special tip line and a request for a call any time an american hinted at joining a terrorist group overseas. For everyone who did not get a Business Card there is a website f. B. I. Gov isiltip. The accent north american, it could be canadian. They have these bashar alassad, his military there, and theyre digging holes and thats going to be their graves. They will be shot and whoever is left wilbur rhythm. That is how barbaric these guys are and how horrific. It is a hell on earth over there especially when you think about what is about to happen in kobani as a massacre, as Martin Dempsey said yesterday, is about to
take place while the turks watch and we wait. 150,000 civilians fled to the Turkish Border when you hear general tem is dempsey say is about to fall. How many more parts of the world will have to get into isis hands . It seems like the president will get a handle what is going on in isis today. For the second time in his presidency hes going to go to the pentagon for a briefing. Thats right i said for the second time in his presidency hes going for a briefing. In between fundraising in new york and greenwich. Hes going to work at the pentagon today because then hes going out to the west coast for more fundraising. Leon panetta has a new book out called worthy fights. He certainly had one last night with bill oreilly over what happened at the administration during his
tenure this. He was, of course, director of the c. I. A. , secretary of defense as well. Its clear that and weve heard mr. Panetta say this before that obama made some mistakes in iraq. Now as it turns out he made some real doozies in benghazi as well. Listen. Did you use the word terror attack . I used the word attack, that this was an attack by terrorists. You said attack by terrorists. All right, so attack by terrorists. I want you to listen to this sound bite. Roll it. Did he tell you, secretary panetta, it was a terrorist attack . You know what he told me was, there was an attack on our compound. He didnt use the word terror . You know, in the heat of the moment, bill, what folks are focused on is whats happening on the ground. Do we have eyes on it . How can we make sure our folks i want to get this on the record. Did he tell you it was a terror attack . Im answering your
question. What he said to me was weve got an attack on our compound. We dont know yet whos doing it. Disingenuous . Look, come on disingenuous . We told the president there is an attack thats going on, that terrorists are involved in the attack. Let me stop you there. The audience can make their own determination. Of course. And it turns out the National Security advisor susan rice famously goes out and says it was all about a video. When leon panetta was asked about that he said that is what the c. I. A. Told him. It is a circuitous trip which brings you to one conclusion, the administration did not want to talk about terror. Al qaeda flourishing in a place we took out a brutal dictator. Therefore the president was able to run on that successfully in 2012. In february 2013,
panetta told Lindsey Graham that the biggest problem that night, senator, quote, is nobody knew what was going on there. He then went on to say 72 hours later there that he did characterize benghazi as a terrorist attack in a closed door session with that same committee there and then following that. He then said yes this was a terrorist attack. He mentioned that behind closed doors and then susan rice went out even with that information days later on a media tour saying quite the opposite. Youve got to remember the president was running for reelection and he didnt want the facts to get in the way of him getting another four years. He talked about isis, he talked about putin and the pakistani doctor yesterday. The same as with secretary of defense gates and the same as with leon panetta and the same with some other officials Hillary Clinton has done it publicly and in her book. The president does not make quick decisions. He seems reluctant to listen to military advisors and he approaches things
like a law professor rather than the passion of a leader. That is a direct quote similar to what the other two leading officials said. Last night dana pre per ino summed it up like this. Leon panetta is the third National Security official, and this is not lowlevel people. These are not nobodies writing books that want to become somebodies. These are not people that seek fortune. They dont need fame. The three of them gave clinton and panetta, i counted it up, 90 years of collective experience. They are talking about the history of the world. They are worried about the position of the United States. All of them are saying publicly in their books that they gave different advice to president obama and that he decided to go in a different direction. Thats pretty clear. Weve heard from all these people who have written these books and leon panetta, this is very
embarrassing for the administration, is that they had given him advice and he simply doesnt take it. Why would he take it . In the first 15 minutes of his administration he won a nobel peace prize. Hes been told by the Mainstream Media for the last few years hes the smartest person that could be. Why listen to those people when he could come up with it himself . As leon panetta made it very clear last night, hes made a lot of mistakes. And also too nervous to make a decision. That doesnt sound like the confidence to make a decision that you need. At ten minutes after the hour you wonder if there is light at the end of the tunnel because there is so much at stake. Coming up, Martin Dempsey is again speaking out on isis and the president s strategy there isnt working. Well hear more of that coming up. As well were going to speak to tonto, one of the Security Officials in benghazi, his reaction to leon panettas reaction. Meanwhile on this wednesday morning there is a big fire in yosemite. Yosemite National Park in california. Moments ago we learned a pilot fighting a fire there was found dead. He was flying alone in his air tanker when something went terribly wrong. Look at the flames right here and the black smoke. His plane crashed into the side of a steep cliff near the entrance of the park. Witnesses say they saw parts of that plane tumbling down off that cliff. The fire the pilot was fighting was 130 acres. A fierce gun battle leaves a Police Captain shot in the head. It was a sixhor standoff sixhour standoff in chicago that just ended. One suspect dead and another in custody.

Were going to play you the entire tape so you can decide. Theyre supposed to be some of the smartest students in the world. What is a bigger threat to world peace . America or isis . To world peace .

A key city in the turkish Syrian Border area teetering on the verge of collapse and general Martin Dempsey chairman of the joint chiefs of staff now saying this is one battle that may be lost to isis as early as today. I am fearful that kobani will fall. We have been striking when we can. Isil is a learning enemy and they know how to maneuver and how to use populations and concealment. I have no doubt that isil
will conduct the same kind of horrific atrocities if they have the opportunity to do so. Is this proof the president s strategy is not working . Lets ask former congressman and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee pete hoekstra. How big a deal, if kobani falls out of the Turkish Border while the turks watch. It is a huge deal. What it says to the rest of the world but especially the kinds of people isis is trying to recruit from, were being successful. Were the winning organization. The americans, british, the french, they got involved 30 days ago and guess what . Were still winning, were still gaining territory, were still making progress. Our vision for a caliphate is moving forward. A lot of people keep saying how did we get here . Can we pinpoint where this all changed . And you indicate look no further than 2011. You say what about that . One of the key things that happened in 2011 there was cad qaddafi for
eight years. I had the opportunity to meet with this guy three different times. Hes no saint but for eight years he did everything we asked him to do. He helped us fight radical jihadists. And in 2011 this administration gave up his nuclear weapons. Gave up his nuclear weapons. Says this guy needs to go. When we met with him, he was always nervous about the radical jeedz in derna and benghazi. These cities sent more people to fight than any other part of the middle eat. We got rid of qaddafi. The jihadists and benghazi, they took over libya but they then also took the training that they received from nato, the weapons. Its an open secret. Absolutely. Qaddafi was the lid on the garbage can, kept all the garbage in there as was the case of a number of countries over this. The big question now chairman is what do we do . The president says im going to drop bombs from airplanes. Were not going to have anybody actually report for doot on the ground. Youre going to have to have boots on the ground. Turkey could help right now. Remember, its also not a onefront war anymore. Its no longer just isis and syria in iraq. It is also isis and libya. 12 different radical jihadist groups across the middle east and africa have now aligned themselves with isis in three of these countries within the last two or three weeks, theyre already beheading people, embracing the tactics, the brutal barbaric activities of isis. Its spreading. Youre one of the leading experts on terror, always have been. Coming up straight ahead. This week right here on fox friends, you heard the countrys two Top Health Officials say we will control this Ebola Outbreak but we cannot close the borders. So do you believe them .

The Supreme Court to rule whether hourly workers should get paid for waiting in line to pass their security checks. Staffing Solutions Says extra pay is not required because it is not related to jb job duties but workers want to be compensated for spending up to 25 extra minutes waiting there. Lets see what the public thinks about this. Fears of an Ebola Outbreak steering panic across the country but as the president and other officials try to reassure the nation, are they doing more harm than good . Lets ask this woman. She took the pulse of the people with her focus group. Thank you, leigh. Were going to roll the clip, see what the public said and get your analysis. First heres tom frieden. He was on with us and he talked about what is at stake now that we have one case over in dallas. I understand that americans are scared about ebola, but you have to put it in perspective. There will not be a largeEbola Outbreak in the u. S. We stop it here by Public Health measures that track patients. That is being done in texas. By hospital Infection Control that if done right will prevent any Health Care Workers from getting it. Were not going to have the kind of outbreak here in any way, shape or form compared to what is happening in africa. Your group gave him an f. They did. I think what happened here is two things. First of all, hes tried to empathize but he did a really poor jo
