The american journalist inl fected with ebola is infected with ebola is on his way to the United States as the president looks into extra screening to add to our airports. Should he be allowing people from ebolastricken countries into the u. S. In the first place . We report, you decide. Never let a crisis go to waste. Van jones found a strategy to help democrats win this november. This ebola thing is the best argument you can make. This ebola thing is the best argument you can make. Were going to tell you what m jones is saying straight ahead. Dont give away too much, steve. Vice president joe biden
was busy this weekend apologizing, once on saturday and once on sunday as well. And hes got somebody else to talk to and apologize to. He doesnt have time for that. Too bad it is not a threeday weekend. And it is nothing to laugh about. On a positive note, mornings are better with friends. Hello. This is Valerie Harper and you are watching fox friends. Thank you, rhoda, one of our pals from tv land. Welcome folks. Another busy week from the news station. We thank you for being with us this morning. A lot to bring you. Lets begin, a fox news alert. Another possible case of ebola popping up now in delaware as the c. D. C. Continues to say we will stop the deadly virus, and in just a few hours an american journalist infected with the deadly disease lands in nebraska for treatment. Peter doocy live with the latest. Reporter that american camera man who got ebola while on assignment is on his way back to the United States. Doctors in nebraska and omaha are expecting him three and a half hours from now. Back east in dover, delaware, an Elementary School aged student from liberia is in isolation at Bay Health KentGeneral Hospital with ebolalike symptoms. The hospital says they are following c. D. C. Guidelines and they called the c. D. C. But were told not to worry. Heres why. Quote, the child is past the 21day maximum incubation period and it has been determined by the c. D. C. Thalt likelihood of that the likelihood of ebola infection is extremely low. Since the likelihood is low, the c. D. C. Declined to test this child for ebola. Meanwhile the man in dallas with ebola, Thomas Duncan, was downgraded this weekend from serious to Critical Condition but the c. D. C. Has had their socalled
disease doctors retracing his steps and they think they can stop ebola here. The core of control is identifying everyone who might have had contact with them and making sure theyre monitored for 21 days, and if they develop symptoms immediately isolating them to break the chain of transmission. Theres no doubt that we can stop ebola in this country. That man, the c. D. C. Director, dr. Tom free freeden will brief president obama with the latest details about the outbreak. It is curious, one of the administration is considering change to the airport screening at a number of the hubs in this country where a lot of people from west africa come into, and they may have been listening to this program. One of the suggestions one of you emailed us is why dont they take the
temperatures as people get off the airplane. Now it sounds like in a certain number of hubs they might do that. They might ask people questions about whether or not they had contact with anybody who might have ebola . As we learned from mr. Duncan who lied on his declaration application in liberia, it just takes a lie to keep it going. Its an interesting move if the c. D. C. Does get in there with questioning and reenforcement at airport hubs. Prior to this last week, the c. D. C. Was saying were perfectly comfortable with the standards that are there. Were doing everything we can. This marks really an indication that perhaps the standards that were were not enough. I wouldnt mind testing over there. That would certainly, if its possible manpower wise. Lets talk about what this means politically. Mid terms are coming up. A lot of people look at ebola and think if you can get this under control who looks good and who looks bad . And can you imagine if the government was shut down . Those are the thought patterns of george van jones with george stephanopoulos. Youve got to start putting republicans on the defensive for the fact that they believe you can take a wrecking ball to the american government, never pay a price. Obamacare means eight Million People that couldnt have gone to the doctor last year, if they want to today they can go see the doctor. The democrats have to Start Talking like that. In september the president went down to visit the c. D. C. And said it lacks like we got this thing under control. Is it . When it came to quarantine the family of mr. Duncan or his girlfriend and those with him, how is that quarantine going when they sat in a dirty room day after day . If you want to put the spotlight on the c. D. C. , to be kind you can say the jury is still out. You could say the government could perhaps get a handle on it. But to get votes for it . When you look at isis,
terrorism, the i. R. S. And their scandals, these are things the government has not handled so well. When you look at veterans affairs. I dont necessarily think Many Americans let us know what you think feel differently when it comes to handling ebola and the capability of our government. Our next guest is going to tell us about how people have lost trust in government, and this could not come at a worse time because the government is saying trust us. There was another beheading on friday. News a forest ranger who was taken hostage has been threatened by isis. His parents were told by a former hostage that their son had converted to islam when he shared a cell with a Syrian Muslim last year and since then the familiar released a letter where the son says he is afraid to die but he is at peace with conversion to islam. He fought for the army
rangers, decides to give back, is captured in october of 2013, and now it looks as though, sadly, they seem to behead their victims and then tell us a month later. So this could be a done deal with the cab driver from britain, thats exactly what eyewitnesses said happened. Too many of these videos weve seen action this came with a message directly to the president , keep on striking our people well strike the next one yours. The f. B. I. Director discussed exactly what this means because we keep hearing al qaeda is on the run but according to his words, this is the director of the f. B. I. , that is not so. How would you describe the terrorist networks in syria as they exist now . Theyre a product of what i describe as the me metasasis of al qaeda. One is alnusra. They present different threats in a lot of ways. Is this as dangerous a time as al qaeda at its peak . No, i dont think so. Whats different . We are better organized as an intelligence community. Were better organized and equipped at the border. We have relationships with our foreign partners, all of which make us better able to see dots and connect dots. The transformation since before 9 11 is striking. It is striking. If you watch that profile and it is two parts. There will be another one next week. Youll see that the guy who runs our f. B. I. Knows what hes doing. It was a great profile of a great public servant. Right. I agree with everything except the border. If you talk to people at the border no one seems to feel secure. But thats political. But thats safety. If you wanted him to be candid, i dont know how he could look at the border and talk to the people in arizona and texas and
california although san diego made improvements and think the border is actually better and make us feel better about it. The other thing important to point out is so far the operations against those horrible people that metasized al qaeda has not produced significant results. Now theyve started to use helicopters against isis which is completely different. Meanwhile lets talk a little bit about our numbertwo man in the United States, joe biden. On saturday he had to apologize to the country of turkey. Then on sunday he had to apologize to the United Arab Emirates after he said this on thursday at harvard at the kennedy school. Listen. The turks were great friends and i have a great relationship with [inaudible] which i spent a lot of time with. The saudis, the emirates, et cetera. What were they doing . They were so determined to
take down assad and essentially is a proxy sunnishia war, what do they do . They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of weapons into anyone who would fight against assad, except that the people who were being, who were being supplied were alnusra and al qaeda and the extremist elements of jihadists coming from other parts of the world. I dont know if hes not telling the truth. It sounds, thats really been the talk and the buzz. But should you be saying that to the kids at harvard knowing how sensitive it is to put together a coalition of 40 countries to do whatever theyre doing. Because they might hear it. Hes got a microphone. This is the problem. He ran out of time, as you noted in our intro today. If he had one more day perhaps he could have finished the apology. They did hear loud and
clear. He had the microphone. Weve got the internet. Weve got television. Boom he also said being the Vice President is a bitch, also an interesting comment. Hi guys, good morning. Good to see you. That enterovirus has so many parents on edge this morning and heres part of the reason why. The death of a fouryearold new jersey boy is now being blamed on that respiratory disease affecting hundreds of children across the country right now. The medical examiner confirming that ally wallers death eli wallers death was directly related to enterovirus 68. Another child from elis school is being tested for that disease. Parents scared and also angry that it took ten days for officials to let them know what was going on. Very scary. Im very nervous. Were very nervous. A lot of people kept their Children Home from school this week. It took until yesterday at 8 20 a. M. For a robo call to go out to the entire school district. According to the c. D. C. , the enterovirus sickened more than 500 people in 43 states, nearly all of them chenoweth. That virus also in three more states. A possible sight of cop killer eric frein. Authorities are focusing on a mile and a half square area after a possible sighting yesterday. It was not a positive i. D. But police are hoping it is a sign they are getting closer to finding him. Two days ago police found a camp site that contained food, cloa they think and ammunition thought to belong to frein. Two historic games by tom brady and the new England Patriots squaring off against the bengals. Brady throws for two touchdowns as he throws 50,000 yards in his career. Patriots win 4317. Peyton manning making history, throwing for four touchdowns including his 500th career touchdown. Payton the second ever to reach this mark. The broncos beat the cardinals 4120. What a day for football it was. Those are your headlines. Thanks a lot, heather. 13 minutes after the top of the hour on this monday. Coming up, he got the chance to speak to young minds at a College Commencement ceremony. Did we mention he also was convicted of killing a Police Officer in cold blood . So what was his message . Well have it. After scandals at the v. A. And i. R. S. And dealing with ebola, do you still have faith in our governments ability to function . Our next guest says the problem starts at the very top. Rfect. Sos his serve. But like up to 90 of us, jim falls short in getting important nutrients from food alone. Jim, heres 2 off one a day multivitamins to get key nutrients you may need. Go to oneaday. Com for savings. Ya know what salesman alanim a ready foames becomes . He second his room is ready, i think the numbers speak for themselves.

Its one more part of our commitment to america. Because i make the best chicken noodle soup because i make the best chicken noodle soup because i make the best chicken noodle soup

when it comes to our federal government, americans are facing a confidence crisis. First it was the scandals at the i. R. S. And the v. A. And now the threat from ebola. And president obamas questionable level of concern. In the unlikely event
that someone with ebola does reach our shores, weve taken new measures so that were prepared here at somebody did reach our shores. At least one. Meanwhile, a recent poll finds only 8 trust the government a great deal to handle domestic problems while 59 say they dont trust the government very much or not at all. Joining us is senior Political Columnist ron fornier. Good morning to you, ron. Thanks for having me. You know, its scary, and you wrote a great column about this because the government right now is saying on this ebola thing, we got it, trust us. But the government has given us many examples why we cant trust them. Right. I think this lack of trust in all of our institutions is one of the more pernicious problems of our times. Personally on ebola, personally im much more worried about the virus thats affecting little kids or even my family getting the common flu, but
i understand why people are very worried about ebola and spent some time thinking about why somebody would be worried by ebola but not vaccinating their kids for a disease that is killing thousands. There is a reason for this. They just dont trust government officials and even private institutions like hospitals to do the job competently and to tell them the truth when something goes wrong. Weve seen both those things happen in these ebola incidents. A lack of candor and lack of competence. When it goes to competence go back to when they rolled out the obamacare website. Boom that was terrible. Look at benghazi, look at the government spying on us. Theres a lot of reasons why we dont trust the government. This government in particular has used incompetence as a defense against some of these scandals. To be fair this goes back three decades. Goes back to iran,
watergate. We cant trust the nfl. We cant trut the catholic trust the catholic churches. The boy scouts. Institution after institution has failed to adapt to these fastchanging times and failed to be candid with us. We kind of feel like weve been battered by incompetent leadership. When you have a disease like this hitting our shores, we need to be able to trust our government. We need to be able to trust our institutions. But we cant. Do you trust them . I dont trust anybody. I do i do im a professional skeptic. I think on ebola personally, i am far less concerned about that than i am seriously the common cold. Has my family gotten the flu shots . And in these preschools, this mystery virus, that is a large. I dont trust any official who gives me any promise anymore. Youre not alone. Ron fournier, fox news
