[Brooke Baldwin, Cnn Anchor:] And with that, top of the hour, I want to welcome the men and the women watching us right now on American Forces Network all around the world. Welcome to you. We're going to go fast this hour. See if you can catch up and keep up with me. Let's go. First, the Obama administration sending mixed signals about its stance on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the military. Here's the deal. A judge ruled the military can open its doors to openly gay and lesbian applicants, essentially overturning the ban they have had on gays serving openly. But now the White House wants to bring that policy back. The administration says it's in favor of repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", but it shouldn't happen right away. I want you to listen to Lieutenant Dan Choi, who discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
[Dan Choi, Discharged Under "don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy:] For the sake of our entire country, our national security, and for the sake of what our country is, I hope that the Obama administration does not appeal, and does not lift a finger to defend discrimination, does not try to resuscitate it and resurrect it from the dead. I think what the Obama administration should do is walk their talk and finally do something in manifesting equality for all people in America.
[Baldwin:] Choi says he has filled out paperwork to rejoin the military. And should any news break from the courtroom in this hour, of course we will bring it to you live here on CNN. So, next, so where will President Obama be stumping just days before voters head to the polls? Hmm, Comedy Central? The White House confirming that he will appear on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart." That will be next week. Set your TiVos. This is the first time President Obama appears on the show as commander in chief. Stewart will be in Washington holding, you know, the rally, Rally to Restore Sanity, on the National Mall. That is Halloween weekend. And tonight, we should add, Jon Stewart will be talking to our own Larry King 9:00 Eastern right here on CNN. Next, who opened fire on the Pentagon? The manhunt still under way. We're now learning even more bullets hit the building than had been previously thought. We're told at least six were fired, two of them hitting bulletproof glass windows. Fortunately, no one was hurt. But you remember this thing happened right around 4:30 Eastern yesterday morning, forcing police to lock down the area and a nearby interstate. Next, do you remember this guy? He's sort of shaking it in somebody's backyard. He's a Seattle firefighter who won nearly $13 million from the city after he fell through a hole at a local fire station. Well, the city released this video showing Mark Jones dancing, tossing horseshoes. I guess that's what he's doing, chopping wood as well. Officials insist the video proves he lied about his injuries. But guess what? A judge ruled Jones can keep the money. The judge says the city had time to investigate him before the trial, but failed to do so. Next: a prince in Saudi Arabia now a convicted killer. You remember this video? Take a look at this. Prosecutors say he murdered his servant at a London hotel. They showed this eerie video to prove that the two had an abusive relationship. You can see the prince wait for it kind of slaps the guy in the elevator. There they go. The video shot just weeks before the murder. And a British court today sentencing the prince to life in prison. He will have to serve a minimum of 20 years. Next, ever wonder whether your luggage is safe when you fly? Listen to this, a security screener at Newark Airport now charged with stealing thousands and thousands of dollars from passengers as they shuffled through the checkpoints. He and another guy are accused of stealing up to $700 each time they worked. We're told they, in fact, joked about it, joked about wanting to steal in front of their bosses. One even flipped out on security cameras. And consider this. Over the past three years, nearly two dozen security officers have been fired across the country for stealing from checked baggage. Yikes. Next, gator in the hole. Look at this guy. A couple of 10-foot alligators paid a visit to a neighbor. This is Mississippi. The big boys eventually wandered into a drainage hole and, whoops, they got stuck. Safe to say, neighbors did not pull out the welcome wagon.
[Unidentified Female:] Oh, my God. It was huge. And his paws, this alligator I'm a little-bitty person, and this alligator could have just wrapped his legs around me, ate me up. Am I going to have him for lunch or is he going to have me for lunch?
[Baldwin:] Yikes. The gator did would come up without a fight. We're told it took three long hours to get him come out. And, finally, football players in Canada leave the field and head into the stands to fight, massive brawl, look at it, caught on tape. Watch as this plays out, these guys up in the stands happening during the final seconds of this Ontario football game. They're punching. They're kicking. They're tackling, even swinging some of their helmets. You see they took them off. Went for several minutes. Police say fans were heckling the visiting team, and the players just snapped. On the other hand, the opposing coach said the fans were throwing bottles, hurling insults. But get this. Because no one wants to press charges in this case, the police say they're dropping the investigation altogether. So, what are they calling this? A quote "consensual fight." Hmm. Coming up: a chilling look inside the mind of an accused killer. His co-defendant's alleged journal entries, we have them. They were read aloud in court, calling one of his alleged victims a fighter and one a coward. And next: the incredible untold story of the Chilean miners we have seen all this footage, right, from below the ground and the day of their rescue that only CNN can show you. I see him out of the corner of my eyes, CNN's Patrick Oppmann, just back from Copiapo yesterday with the incredible behind-the-scenes tale that only a guy who spent two months with these miners' families can share. He welcome be here. You will not want to miss this.
