12:31 pm
baghdadi was in the convoy when it was hit. there are reports all over about his fate, but we are hearing that he was injured and hearing it, and seeing it on social media, but it is impossible to verify if he was in fact injured or kill canned, but there are reports that he was both injured and killed. and the pentagon can't confirm anything, and they can't confirm that he was present and let alone wounded. killing him or injured him would be a major coupe for the u.s.-led coalition, but across the region, the violence that isis has let loose is showing no signs of letting loose. they have killed at least 43 people today with bombing. and they have continued to fight in kobani, and that fight has been going on there for longerr than two months. u.s. warplanes are pounding the isis fighters there in an effort to drive the insurgents out of kobani, and a human rights group

the look at more, greg? >> well, it is an emotional night just like 25er years ago, the fall of the berlin wall. something like more than 1 million people gathered in the center of berlin to watch the event. they saw the balloons launched into the sky to mark that fall. there was a wall that separated communist east and west berlin. there were ceremonies and huge open-air moment for peace. it was a historic moment to mark the reunification of the germany, and the end of the cold war and the end of communism. here is how one vet remembered the event. >> i remember standing there in tears just -- it is very emotional. i thought that if i ever -- i didn't think that i would ever see this horrible wall come
12:34 pm
down. i thought that maybe if i'm an old man in a rocking chair at the age of 80, maybe. >> reporter: and at the time, mikhail gorbachev was in berlin, but he had an ominous warning saying that the world is on the brink of a new cold war and that one of vladimir putin and the west, and highlighted by russia's mettling in the ukraine. and those of us lucky enough to be there 25 years ago knew we were reporting on a huge chunk of history, and if only the stories since then could have been so joyous and amazing. >> thank you, greg palcot. overnight, two captives were released from north korea.

12:41 pm
a wild ghchase in los angel led police killing a suspect. shooting at police while flying down the freeway and then on to
12:42 pm
local streets. the police eventually surrounded him and that is when the suspect pulled over and pulled out a gun leaving the officers to shoot him and kill him. the the suspect had been wanted for assault with a deadly weapon. to politics now. the gop wave in this week's midterms we midterms took a number of people by surprise after public opinion polls showed a closer contest between the republicans and the democrats, but according to a piece in the "washington examiner" both parties knew what would happen thanks to the private polling. join meg to talk about this is david drucker, a senior correspondent for the "washington examiner" and good to see you, david. >> good to see you, arthel. >> and so are there different calculations or surveys for internal polls versus the public opinion polls? >> well w you have to look at it this way, the public opinion polls may invest a lot of money in those, and maybe not depending on the media outlets,
12:43 pm
and then you have the internal polls, and they are to publicize the debate, and keep people engaged, a then the very private polls bark tuz candidates more than anybody else, they need to know the staet of play to make the strategic decisions, and if they are losing, they need to know. that is why down the stretch of the campaign a lot of the democratic pollsters for the campaigns, and the republican pollster pollsters as it was close to the election, they were both aware of what was building and what was going on and what they needed to do, especially the democrats to make tactical adjustments. >> so, david, the republicans better utilized the campaign polls than the democrats? >> no, there is just nothing that the democrats could do given the atmospherics, and the fact that so many of the voters who showed up were so iangry at the president. look, it was the republicans who made such a mistake on the polls, and that is why the republicans were so surprised to
12:44 pm
see the president win so handily and see so many republican seats go democratic. so they have redouble d the effort to get the demographics right, and the model right. this time around they were cautious. i spoke to a number of republicans who were bullish, but a week to two ten days before that, they were with cautious, and didn't wantthink put together a operation to account for the bad political climate. >> and quinnipiac puts together some polls, and they usually turn out some accurate polling, and why is their model more successful? >> well, when you have university polls, and they engage on a regular basis, they invest a decent amount of money in the polls, and when you look election over election, a poll like the quinnipiac poll, becomes familiar with the state
12:45 pm
they poll and the demographics, and they are always in colorado, iowa and florida and gives the pollsters a chance to understand a little bit about what is going on there. >> and as you have chronicled this, david, how does it change the polling for the 2016 presidential race for does it? >> i don't know if it does, because if you look at the public polling, it was, you know, sniffing things out, and telling us what direction it was going to the g it was correct, and most of the public polling was correct, but it was not as good. there were two subsets of public poll iing. there was one polling that showed the possibility of a public wave and another that showed a tighter advantage, but i think that you will have more of the same, and what you want to look at is the private polling to see if what they feel is the democrats and the republicans internally need to take any adjustments ahead of
12:46 pm
the 2016 race. >> does it boil down to how much they spend on the polling? >> well, oftentimes, yes. a good house poll for a house district is going to cost you $12,000 and doing live dial call, and good statewide or national poll can cost you $20,000 or more. there is a disagreement in the polling community as to whether you need the live dial for the auto dial. auto dial polls have e done well, but there is a lot of cam pages that really believe in the live dial calling whether you need the cell phones in there and whether you need the spanish speakers asking you and the spanish speakers, and it is a science and an art. it is not just the numbers' game, and that is part of the thing that makes the polling difficult to understand and analyze year the year. >> and david drucker, we appreciate your take on it all. >> and thank you. >> and we will talk to you
12:47 pm
again. >> and two incumbent senators wasting no time on how the lay out the plans and tackle some issues. appearing on fox sunday, shelly said that coal is the issue. >> we have been picked as a loser, and i'm not going to standr for it. >> and cory gardener going to stand out about what the gop ne needs to address right away. >> start with the border security as so many people are asking for, but border security in and of itself is not complete unless you have a meaningful guest worker program to go with it, and create a way for legal working and addressing the e verify systems, and those are tings this that the republicans can and should do right now.
12:48 pm
>> and if two freshmen senators said they would wor work with the president on immigration reform unless he bypasses congress by executive order. and today, the president defe defended that move saying he had waited long enough for congress to act. and by the way, you can get "fox news sunday" by going to your app and also by checking your local listings for sunday airtime airtimes. and also, what companies are e helps vets get on the payroll? >> vets are great to be on your payroll. it is not because it is the right thing to do, but because it is the smart thing to do. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation

12:52 pm
are having a hard time finding work after they come home from war. take a look at these numbers now. the unemployment rate dropping to less than 6% last month, the lowest level in more than six years, but more than 7% of gulf war era veterans can't find work. the jobless rate for all veterans is nearly 5%. joining us now is fox senior business correspondent brenda buttner, anchor of "bulls and bears." good to see you on this sunday.. why is this such a problem? >> it's amazing it's such a problem. they have given their service to us, why can't we serve them? a lot of it has to do with they come back from the war with not many resources. they're used to, you know, working under contained environment. and they're not sure how to transfer into the work force, how to look for a job. those basic skills they don't have. >> it seems like that should be part of the program before they come home. you just don't let them come home.
12:53 pm
there needs to be some sort of transition program for them to learn those types of skills. >> you would be a great secretary of defense. >> it might just happen. but i mean, there are fortunately, brenda, some companies that are hiring vets. i know you can talk to me about those companies. >> yes, starbucks is a huge one. amazon as well is committing. big one is walmart, which is committing to hiring 100,000 vets by 2018. uber is involved. general electric. it's not just charity or pity. the truth is, these veterans are very dependable. they're disciplined. they have leadership skills. i mean, talk about high stress. they can adapt to anything in the workplace after being in afghanistan or iraq. so it sends a message that these big companies are hiring and that perhaps they'll be more of a ground swell. >> i agree with that as well. i want to share with our viewers
12:54 pm
this report that was published in the american journal of public health last year. take a look. it says military veterans who report having relatively minor financial problems such as bouncing a check or going over their credit limit are four times more likely to become homeless within the next year than veterans without such problems, according to that survey of 1,000 iraq and afghanistan veterans. why? >> well, there's a problem with ptsd and all the rest. but the truth is you have one problem. it can easily spiral if again you don't have the resources. you've been in the military. you get your check. you get your food. you're not quite sure where to turn. to a credit bureau, to whatever. there is that issue. another issue is one survey found that if they have enough money to cover their basic needs, they are far less likely to have the suicide rates, homelessness, all the rest. so it's just a question of getting into the work force.
12:55 pm
and when they do, they do a great job. it's just, we have to hire our heroes. >> absolutely. no doubt about that. you know, let's get on it, follow the lead of amazon, starbucks, uber, some of those companies you just mentioned. >> and thank all of them. >> brenda buttner, thank you very much. you can catch brenda on "bulls and bears" every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. thanks, brenda. another programming note for you, we now know the identity of the navy s.e.a.l. who said he killed osama bin laden. that man is robert o'neil. fox news has the exclusive television interview with him. you can hear first hand about the raid that finally killed the world's most wanted terrorist. the man who killed osama bin laden is a two-night special beginning on veterans' day, this tuesday at 10:00 p.m. eastern, happening here on fox news
