Thanks for joining us. Big hand for the audience tonight. Thank you for being with us well see you back here monday. Have a great weekend. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. This is a fox news alert. On the record is tracking two major breaking news stories. Tonight, new video showing isis savages hostage in iraq. Terrorists warn there will be a another beheading and that one will be an american. Ebola in america and there is fear it is spreading right now several americans under treatment in isolation. Many more under quarantine. Ebola impacting all corners of the u. S. Tonight from washington, d. C. , to texas, to georgia, and nebraska Fox News Team of reporters tracking reporters every move across america. Casey stegall live in dallas. Thats where we start. Casey . Greta, good evening. The latest news involves one of our own. In fact, a freelance journalist, a photographer that was working for nbc news that has now come down with the ebola virus. He caught it in liberia. That is where he has been working, covering this deadly Virus Outbreak for the network. And we understand this afternoon that Health Officials say that he will be transported now to the Nebraska Medical Center in omaha, a fine facility as you all know that successfully treated an american doctor for ebola recently. Meantime hazmat crews have been at the dallas apartment complex today where the Liberian National who boarded a plane and brought the virus to the United States had been staying with family. The place has been scrubbed down while four members of thomas duncans family remain quarantined inside. The company hired to do the clean up had to secure special permits to transport the Hazardous Waste that included the patients bedding and his clothing. Finally the cdc says out of the 100 people who have had
some sort of contact, either direct or indirect contact with patient zero as is he being called, since he arrived in texas, ten are considered high risk exposures. We understand that is likely his family and medical professionals, greta, who initially treated him before they knew he had ebola. Casey, thank you. And Wilfred Smallwood is thomas duncans halfbrother and right now his 21yearold son is quarantined in that dallas apartment. Andrew spoke with Wilfred Smallwood in texas yesterday and he joins us live. Good evening and tell me what did the halfbrother say . He is optimistic and he is also a little bit scared because it is kind of a vacuum of information about what is happening with his halfbrother. Again, his name is wilfred smilewood and living in phoenix for nine years. He moved here from liberia nine years ago and brother
stayed behind in that country. They havent seen each other in nine years. They keep in touch regularly. He spoke with the ebola patient just after he arrived here in the u. S. He told me that everything at the time seemed okay. As we now know after the ebola Patient First went to that hospital in dallas, he was initially sent home. Only to be diagnosed with ebola a few days later. Well, the two havent been able to talk since the halfbrother was hospitalized in dallas. On top of all of that, the 212yearold as you mentioned, greta, is hold up inside that dallas apartment. He was staying with relatives at that apartment where the ebola patient was staying. Now he is quarantined in that apartment. He will be in there for at least another two weeks. His father told me his son is doing okay. He feels fine. However, he is not too happy about the hospitals treatment of his halfbrother. Very dont. He talked to me. In the house here, okay. Everything okay . Have food. Everything is okay. We are here. We are fine. I kept it right there. More investigation back home. Man went home family. Mr. Smallwood tells me just spoke to his son this afternoon and things appeared to be Getting Better inside that dallas apartment. He told us the sheets and the towels that the ebola patient was using appeared to be being removed properly. Everyone was optimistic and his son is not showing any symptoms of the virus. However, greta, is he frustrated that he did not get any information about his halfbrother who is still in the hospital. Okay, if mr. Smallwood says that mr. Duncan stayed behind for nine years, what suddenly made him come to texas . I mean, was there any discussion of leaving liberia because of the ebola
epidemic . We didnt get into why he left liberia. I dont think it was because of the ebola epidemic. What he told us is that his halfbrother recently got a visa to come to the u. S. To be with his family. Apparently he has some relatives in dallas. Thats why he was going there. And he got the visa and he decided to come. I dont think it was necessarily related to the Ebola Outbreak. He had been trying to get a visa for a while. Once he got it, he left pretty much as soon as he could to come here. His brother also tells us that he did not have any symptoms when he arrived here in the u. S. All right, andrew, thank you. Maybe we ought to explore who is getting visas, that might be an effective way to try to monitor. This thank you, andrew. New possible case of ebola in the u. S. Right down the street from where i am. A washington, d. C. Hospital has a patient in isolation after seeing signs of the deadly virus. For the latest wtte fox reporter Alex Alexander lemone joins us. What you can tell us about the patient at alexander
university . There are actually now two possible cases in the d. C. Area. One of those cases is being treated at Howard University. The other, however, is being treated here at shady grove hospital in rockville, maryland. This is the latest possible ebola case we have learned about. This hospital tells us they have not yet confirmed if this is an ebola case but despite that that patient is in isolation because they have ebolalike symptoms and recently traveled to areas affected by ebola. So, likely somewhere in west africa. Now, the other patient at Howard University in d. C. , that patient also has similar symptoms, also recently traveled to nigeria. And we have learned that that patient is actually a student who checked themselves into the hospital because they were feeling ill and Howard University also says they are also keeping that patient under isolation as a precaution. Both hospitals are waiting for test results to confirm whether or not these are
ebola cases. But they are concerned and being very cautious because of where both of these patients recently traveled to, greta. Alexandra, thank you. And the experimental drug hopes to be the wonder drug z map. Credited with the saving the lives of the first two americans who contracted the ebola. This is the problem, and it is a huge one, there is no more of it. So now what . Professor eric alman with the Research Institute is part of the team that developed it. She was on the record. Nice to see you again. Nice to be here. You are the expert. How fast you can create more . And whats in the way . It cant be made overnight. It has to be yen to. This is the thing. Sheets are Research Products. Those research days. We have never seen Ebola Outbreak on this scale before. Other diseases were higher priority last year. So, the teams that make the
antibodies vaccines are working as fast as they can to makes a much as they can and get to the people that need it. The people infected right now, the best course of action is to contain and control. To identify the cases and get them the proper medical treatment that they need. Now, this is the major problem at this point. There is 50 new cases in sierra leone. Those beds are full. More medical teams and more beds. The other things that are needed are more diagnostics. A lot of these viruses look the same. Ebola start with a fever and headache. Every one of us have had a fever and headache before. All right. There is another virus called lasa that is endemic in western africa. Thousands of cases every year. Endemic in the same places. A lot of these places people could be infected with lasa. Diagnostic from one. Mundane flu or malaria that
needs the highest level of isolation. There is a Company Called core genics that has one in 15 minutes and i have worked with it myself. I call it the wonder drug which probably makes you a little crazy that i say that because we are so desperate to have the a drug that does the trick. Seven people have taken it so far two have died out of seven. Pretty good odds. One of the biggest problems often is government regulation. They get in the way. Are there any regulations that are getting in the way now in terms of you getting this to market faster . Well, my expertise is im the molecular biologist that figures out how it works. The government regulatory agencies have working as fast as they can to move these things as fast as they can. I havent seen this to be a big problem. But, you know, the doses have to be made. This is a Research Product and the human doses just simply werent available and that gave away everything they had. More is in production and they are working as hard as they can on that. All right. If you started today, for one dose, how soon could you make that . I dont know this really isnt my expertise. The focus needs to be letting the people who do that manufacturing as fast as they can. Focus on getting the teams in the care and the beds to the patients. To developing faster diagnostics so we can tell somebody who has flu from somebody who has ebola. All right. Thank you very much for joining us. And you understand that i just have sort of a sense of desperation. I understand we all do. I know you do too. You know a lot more about it than i do. So, anyway. Professor, thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. This is a fox news alert. Isis releasing a vicious new video showing the beheading of a second british hostage and warning an american captive will be next. Fox news chief intelligence
correspondent Catherine Herridge joins us. Horrible news. It is. I have taken a look at the video. Its somewhat shorter than the previous execution videos that runs about 1 minute and 40 seconds. A similar format. This one begins with the British Parliament approving the joining of the u. S. Led collision with the air strikes. Then it goes to that very familiar shot you see there on the screen with the hostage and then the executioner. This seems to be a direct response to the British Parliament vote . Correct. This is what is important in these videos, time stamped very specific references supposed to communicate we are responding to you. We are responding in realtime to your action. This is the warning to you. Not that this is ancient history but they are moving in a very expeditious way. The american, thats next. What you can tell me about him or her . What i would say about these videos is this group is really going down the same track we saw with al
qaeda. They dont put up false videos of executions or of identifying their victims. And they identify the american in this video as someone called peter and based on our research, he is former military, former army ranger and he had left the military medically discharged honorably and began the syrian Assistance Group when he was kidnapped in october of last year. Until now the family has remained silent thinking it would help its case. Any idea how Many Americans would be held. Thats a great question. The ball park i always worked in based on my reporting has been about half a dozen. Two as you know have been executed and now there is the threat of a third. The one that i think may be the most highly prized of the group, if you can put it in those terms is this woman from california about 24, 25, 26 years old. Of course in case anyone has any doubt about islamic extremist, boko haram also
executed nigerian pilot announced today. Anyway, thank you. You are welcome. Now an absolutely terrifying warning from military families. Isis now using social media urging their supporters to go to military homes and slaughter the families in them. Congressman peter king joins us. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. How are you . Very well. I guess we cant expect anything more from these savages than Something Like this. But this certainly does create, you know, more alarm here in the United States tonight. It really does it shows that isis is just focused on whether its beheading people. Weather its threatening to slaughter American Families of service is men and women. This is an evil, evil organization which in the past even terrorist organizations have tried to appeal to people, to show that there is a certain goodness about them. In this case isis wants everyone to know they are evil. They decided to go the route of terrifying everyone. And usually think of war as sort of soldier on soldier. Here they actually want to go after the military
families. Of course, we have seen with the beheading that the justification for tonights beheading is because of the British Parliament vote. This group will stop at absolutely nothing. What are we doing to alert or prepare our military families . First of all, the military has to be on guard. They have been notified by the pentagon that they should be for instance have their eyes only all the time. Be aware of everything. Dont list any phone numbers, addresses, email addresses. Dont give any indication about their family, their family members. They should not really put anything out there whether its on facebook or anywhere on the social media themselves or even in Old Fashioned telephone directories. Nothing about them that the enemy could find. In effect, its almost like being under cover. You know, they are in, i hate to say almost like a Witness Protection Program that these families have to try to put themselves into to, you know, protect themselves from this type of attack. Especially if they are families that are overseas. Remember, these dont have to be families close to the
firing line, which they wouldnt be. But anyone who can you identified as a member of the military family has to be on the lookout. All right. You arennen the Counter Terrorism subcommittee. That what is your assess isment of the president s strategy and how is he doing . I support it as far as it goes. I mean, obviously the air attacks were essential. I think we need more massive air attacks and they should have begun sooner. Now that we have started them they have to be massive. We have to realize even though we have a coalition quote unquote. The fact is the u. S. Is going to do the overwhelming amount of the fighting. For this to be effective the president should not be ruling anything out. He should not be saying there is no american boots on the ground. He has said that he has told them that, no boots on the ground. And wrong. Wrong to say that he should stop saying it. And he should let the enemy think that were willing to do everything and anything. We are willing to stay there 100 years if we have to. Willing to use every weapon at our disposal ifjust may deciy
or slow it down. And the fact that he keeps talking about what he is not going to do, one thing that does he alert the enemy but also causes potential allies to wonder just how serious he is. Congressman can, nice to see you, sir. Thank you, greta. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. And american boots on the ground, well, fighting isis, well, thats right. An army veteran from wisconsin apparently joining the kurds in their battle against isis. Not the only american. Fox news confirming the kurdish government getting calls from navy seals, army rangers and marines, all volunteering to come join the fight. Sergeant johnny jones joins us. Nice to see you, sir. Good evening, greta. Sergeant, what do you think about this . A man from wisconsin has already gone over age 28. He was fighting the kurdish people. Well, you know, i read the army times article. It was very brief. Not a lot of detail and spent one year in the army. You cant car him a war veteran. Is he is obviously a veteran of the army. Has my respect. But, in my opinion, nothing
good can come from veterans or reservists or any american trying to go there. And fight alongside the kurds without our government or military sending them there. Well, sergeant thrrkts certainly are a lot of people who are quite enraged and understandably so. You see these videos and read these stories about isis taking over these kurdish towns on the border and stuff. You know, i understand it but it does seem like it would lend itself to a lot of chaos. Well, exactly. You know, you see everything from a marine jailed down in mexico and seems like we are doing nothing to help him out. And you have these towns and cities in iraq taken over after so many of our brothers and sisters died to take them for the peaceful there. At the end of the day. For an active Duty Service Member to deploy, there is a training package. There is intelligence necessary we dont go over there and point a gun and pull a trigger. We are diplomats. We do nation building. We knock on doors and help people out. We empower the innocent
people to take over their area from the bad people. Were not just there pulling triggers and kill people. If we are going to do an air strike. We need intelligence so we are striking the right place and doing the right thing. If we cant coordinate that without some type of physical presence then what can one or two or three wrap bows do seas fighting alongside curetedz . In my mind not a lot. Except bring in the opportunity for isis to kidnap someone. My condolences go out to those who have been kidnapped and have been executed. I see nothing but bad news from Something Like this. Certainly seems like a death wish to go over by yourself to sort of align yourself with any group at this point it. Absolutely. You know, if this authority authorityostory is true. I hope it he makes it back safe
