FBC Cavuto October 11, 2014

An ebola scare rattling passengers on a flight to filly. Look at this. And seeing this hazmat crew coming on. A passenger got up and yelled i have ebola. Youre all screwed. Ive done this for 36 years. I think the man that has said this is an idiot and ill say that straight out. Turns out this genius was joking about having ebola, but the passengers were so sensitive about at the airlines are playing it safe understandably. The real danger is not necessarily on the plane, but in the airports. I mean, that with standing i have ebola and you cant even explain it. The airports which i guess we should have known for years they are pretty dirty places. Is that what youre worried about it. Yeah, airports by nature are just germ factories basically. Theres so many people passing through especially the marilyn airports in the u. S. Like jfk newark, chicago, atlanta, and you have to take some precautions. Its not just on planes which can also be filthy, but especially in airports. Bathroom seats, everything. Million of people pass through. And not necessarily during an ebola scare like what were going through now. That would be advice any day of the week. Especially the ones in this area. Speaking of airports in this area this weekend theyll start the screening process where people are going to have their temperature taken if theyre coming from ebola infected countries in west africa. Is that going to be effective . I really dont think its going to be that effective. I think its more a psychological thing for people to see the government is trying to do something as opposed to it actually work. In theory, if someone has a fever, theyll catch them. As its been stated, theres an incubation period of up to three weeks. People might actually show any symptoms so they might miss it when they come from west africa and from europe. They wouldnt caught you the guy who died in dallas because he probably wouldnt have a fever. He didnt have one when he got on the plane. Is it necessary . Is should we be doing things like this in your view . We should because we have to show that were doing something. I think this is something that the government and the cdc was not exactly prepared for. I mean, this is something that has never really broke out in the u. S. Before. So, you know, i think they feel like they got to do something. They dont know what to do. This is different the h1 and one. So i think theyre doing the best they can, but i dont know if its going to be that effective. You know how people are they like to see the allusion of safety. Thats what theyre doing. That is what theyre doing. Hopefully can get people to stand and up scream things like that guy did. That guy was an idiot. Dennis ross joining congressional calls to ban all flights coming from these countries something the secretary of state john kerry says its not going to happen. Why should it happen . Well, clearly we know where the infection exists and how widespread it is in western africa. Look, the president said just three weeks ago that it was not a threat to the United States. This week we had our first case. It is here. We need to take every step available to us to make sure it doesnt spread. The cdc said this is probably going to be more widespread than the aids epidemic. We have to take this seriously. It requires leadership. If we could ban these flights at least we would know were taking some steps towards eliminating that virus in the u. S. There are some points at least exploring. One is whether or not this instead of being effective is counterproductive in fighting the virus where it most needs to be fought. Speaking of the cdc, thats what the director thinks if you ban these flights youll prevent Health Care Workers getting in and out of these countries. Youll make a horrible problem in those areas worst. When we should be using all our resources to fight it so it doesnt come here. I understand it. People might have to come out. A worker might have to come back out. Thats their point. Thats what the cdc chief is saying. I understand that. But we also are they threshold of one of the greatest pandemics weve ever had in my lifetime and we havent taken any steps to prevent american citizens from being approached by this disease. And to me, the first step would be, lets stop the inflow at the source, which are the flights from these countries. We have a due process system. I guess what im asking you about, and it kind of it sparked in my head because the conversation we were just having. Hey, were going to be screening people at the airport so were doing something. I dont know if it will be effective. Im wondering if thats the same thing. If the experts are coming out and saying this is not necessarily the way to go back. But congressman and a lot of others are saying we got to make it look like were doing something. Benghazi was just a spontaneous incursion. If you like your plan you can keep it. Isis is just a jv team. Come on. Ebola is a serious epidemic that we have to take some measures and leadership to prevent it spreading in the United States. Yes, i think that it would serve a purpose for terms of confidence knowing were stopping those flights coming over here. We have to go further than that. We have to make sure the fda is working with these pharmaceutical companies to expe the process to go back to these cures out there. We just increased 88 million to the nih specifically for ebola research. Theres a lot more we could be doing, but the America Public are sitting back saying, wait a second nobody is doing anything. At least take that first doesnt happen. Those experimental drugs they ran out so quickly. Thank you. The Emergency Rooms are prepping for an influx of patients just thinking they have ebola. Now, with flu season kicking off can hospitals handle a flood of false alarms. We have our fox all stars tonight. Tracy, you first, as the guy stands up on the plane. I have ebola. Now, people might have a hangnail, i have ebola. Towivel that will happen. It happened with the swine flu. My son had it. So its going to happen because we havent got enough solid detail as to what are the symptoms . What am i looking for . Are you taking precautions on the plane . We dont know enough yet . Theyre not blocking flights out of west africa. Maybe that would help everyone and appease me. But until i get a list you have to look for this, this, and this and i can cross out ebola. If i had flu symptoms, id be afraid too. Is. Now, the family theres a potential lawsuit from the family of mr. Duncan. Were looking at a picture of him now. Theyve got a very fair point. If hospitals are going to be sued because they a case of ebola the other option is to take everyone seriously. Can they handle it, connell . No. Not with the condition that our hospitals are in right now. Do you mean o do you know how many consolidations were getting right now. How many of these chains are merging, cutting ers, cutting personnel. Sending this guy home from the dallas hospital the first time cdc director tom friedman called that a teachable moment. That was a deadly moment. That was a lethal moment. He told the nurse where he had been coming from. Theyre supposed to ask about travel history. It was all out there. They dropped the ball completely which added to the concern people had. To call did a teachable moment, this is not being taken seriously as it should. Im sure hes doing all the measures he possibly can. I was trying to make this point, i think there is we all want to make sure obviously that something as serious doesnt spread in our country. Everybody agrees about that. Everybody agrees its a serious problem. Thousands of people have died in west africa. Doing something for the sake of it to say, hey, tracy now, you can feel better when it doesnt actually make things better it could make it worse not better. Thats what people say. You know what, it makes me feel like youre doing something. But whats the point . The point it will do something. You stop travel out of west africa you will stop the next person who has ebola from leaving the country. That is one less person we have to deal with. Right. But the real problem with ebola is in we told. In other words, weve had one case here. And its horrible. Theres now a case in brazil. But the real problem is in west africa to fight it effectively every expert believes to fight it effectively you have to have people getting in and out of west africa. Not travelers. Send the swat team. Send those, but lets not cheryl brings up one of the most frightening scenarios, if it gets to brazil or to a place like guatemala a place that cant handle it, that is when you panic. Thats one of the things were really missing the threat to hospitals and to americans, and thats the enterovirus. Were completely not talking enough about that. There was a death in new jersey. Thats affected a lot of children around the country. We will talk about health care and ebola and other things as we continue tonight. But next isis. The latest weapon that isis is using. Water. Thats right. Water. How the terrorist group is hijacking the water supply in iraq and now isis is growing in numbers. All that next. How much money do you have in your pocket right now . I have 40, 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. Many americans who have prescriptions fail to stay on them. Thats why we created programs which encourage people to take their medications regularly. So join us as we raise a glass to everyone who remembered today. Bottoms up, america. See you tomorrow. Same time. Another innovation from cvs health. Because health is everything.

Synchrony financial. Enagage with us. Airstrikes are not keeping isis down. Were hearing that isis fighters are cutting off the water supply to iraqi villages that oppose them all, but forcing the towns to join the fight. Wally says this is a problem with isis. Theyve got the strategy to keep growing. So, you know, were in this now, wally, but, you know, so are they. Theyre in it for the long hall right . As long as we have not reversed taking back cities and villages you know, bombing from the air and taking out tanks and vehicles is only going to weaken them, but its not going to end them. What theyre trying to do, is to force themselves upon the population. What should our next move strategically be. They got the water supplies. Theyve got the people. Whats more important than water . Pretty much nothing. What should our next move be. First of all, they understand as long as they have time theyre going to use that time first to control the population by fear, water, and then by education. What we should have been done basically to make them uncomfortable no infrastructure should be in their hands. There should be no, no Water Infrastructure in their hands. We should have armed Northern Iraq and partnered with many of the tribes theyre now oppressing. We missed that. Its going to be a much longer campaign now. Connell we could play that game and analyze what we could have done in the past. It seems like were in a tough spot now. Any options would be longterm options. Even training training in iraq is going to take a while. The border is a mess now between syria and turkey. The next few months can be pretty ugly right. The listen from the past is always important to what we need to do. If we are able to free an area in iraq where arabs dont want to see isis, you can create an alternative. And when populations will push against isis. In syria, we are missing the kurds. If indeed, the city the kurdish city will fall, we will ask next week, what should we do after that. We have an opportunity, we should bomb isis around the city of kobani. Connell what a disaster that week. Anything we can do more with turkey. Turkey we need to be very blunt. We need to see president obama talking to the turkish president in public. Secret diplomacy is not going to work. He should ask him what he needs to do. Of course, we are against assad. Now, is not the time for assad. That would put pressure on the syrian president if this is done publicly. Connell thank you. Meanwhile, is the private sector doing more the government in some cases to stop isis. The ceo of the Yogurt Company the kurds himself is from turkey and hes donating 2 million of his own dollars to fund the fight against isis. I spoke to steert about at noon today. Why isnt the American Government doing this . What ive come to believe is that ordinary people and businesses, they are the ones that have to bring their voice up. Theyre the ones who have to say something, do something. Align around the coalition and then we help people and then we make sure our politicians and our leaders, they hear us and they hear that we are really worried. Stewart asked the question, why isnt the government doing this. Our government. Well jestures like this would anybody in the private sector do anything to stop isis. I applaud him. And i love seeing the private sector step up and do something. But it isnt going to solve the problem. Its sheer math. In syria they have 20 to 30,000 and isis fighting were only going to train 5,000 annually. How does that math work. It doesnt work. Its not going to work until the u. S. Government gets involved. He came here from turkey. He found this little plant in new york. He started giovanni. You know where hes coming from. This grassroots uprising. Its his money. Let him do what he wants. He loves his homeland. I think its great. Connell cheryl. To your original point i think the private sector could have a bigger hand. Absolutely. Because the government has nothing, but mishandled syria. We should have been in there. We were not we abandoned these people. Now, theyre saying well, thanks a lot america. Were going to kill you and the isis fighters. I think the private sector could. Because businesses were going into syria three years ago and they got pushed out because our governments lack of action. I was there for fox business and it was the private sector that stabilized the economy of syria not the u. S. Government. Heck, we didnt even have an ambassador at the time when i was there. Give me a break. And he probably understands the system so much better anyway. He gets out they think and how theyre thinking right now. Connell but the problem when you take this public versus private argument is that as much money as someone this gentleman may have or others its limited. Compared to what governments can do. Compared to a government and the armed forces of the United States. Theres other things other companies can do to stabilize an economy. It will come down to boots on the ground. I understand what youre saying. I love seeing the private sector competent for the other sectors deficits. Shell gas helped tremendously, but in terms of Public Policy i dont think so. Why not . Its much like our deficits. Lets cut things a little out of time. Why not a little bit out of time. Its better than nothing. We may have religious differences with people that live in russia and the middle east. At the end of the day everyone speaks the same language and thats money. It was a tough week for these people on that border. Twitter on the look out for isis accounts. But now isis is looking to take out twitter executives. Scary story, the warning for twitters ceo is coming pick up and then why microsofts ceo just apologized to women apologized to women everywhere and dad, i know i havent said this often enough, but thank you. Thank you mom for protecting my future. Apologized to women everywhere and thank you for being my hero and my dad. Military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa Auto Insurance could be one of them.

Everybodys on woowoo [elevator bell rings] woowoo . Lock and load, people were going all in on woowoo mark comp us up a profile page susie write us some posts i want sponsored woos. I want targeted woos. We need an ethnically ambiguous woowoo mascot. Dude. Are you still on woowoo . Naaaahh, man, my moms on woowoo. So are we seeing just an overall governmental break down. Kmele says the government is breaking the ball on everything from the ebola to the secret service. He and the other independents are so mad about it. Theyre doing a special on this. Look at them. Look at how angry they look. You guys dont look so angry. I know you are. The first question. We have to lead it off. How is this a special. You guys are always angry about this stuff. We sometimes give credit where its due. Youre not big fans of the government. You cant look at the headlines these days without seeing any number of things that are going wrong. Stuff even a thorough going libertarian like myself would say, hey, the government ought to be doing stuff. We can be concerned about contagious diseases the trouble as its pointed out by guests on our show is that the cdc has vision creep. They have a multiple billion budget. They say we were caught on our heels. Theyre worrying about obesity. Theyre overwhelmed by things they shouldnt be dealing with in the first place. Are there any links between problems with cdc and other scandals in the government i mentioned some of those a little while ago, are there any links. We actually saw a continuum of problems that are in these places. Most of the bureaucracy are first and foremost about covering their tail. We call them whistleblowers when people speak up. Those people risk absolutely everything to call out abuses of power to call out places where they actually see waste and its a huge, huge problem and it doesnt just happen in national security. We talked to someone in the va who risked their job and their career to say, hey, were not taking the best care of our vets that we ought to. I was only joking about in t
