Witnesses the injustices up close. Worse, the post reports that the white house may have had the report on the scandal put off until after the election. But thats not like them at all. The irs, benghazi, they would never bury something to save an election. Who were the hookers again . I certainly hope media matters gets its talking points out soon to dismiss this story and demonize the reporters chasing it. Yet while we wonder what happened to those missing epa emails or that impending report on Bowe Bergdahl which likely wont come out until after the elections, where is waldo . I mean obama. Fundraising with gwyneth. The only part of politics hes good at. I blame global warning. Its agents and military men were punished, the white house merely skipped to reelection with their cronies rewarded, a man machinery imperveous to consequences. Everyone gets screwed except those who paid in advance. K. G. , i want to read this statement from richard sauber, the attorney represented Jonathan Dach, the kid that was over there. The aide. That apparently was linked to prostitution. He says the allegations about any inappropriate contact by Jonathan Dach in cartagena are utterly and completely false. Hes ducking the question. When he arrived he was met at the airport by embassy staff, driven to the hotel, went to bed exhausted. Its kind of change he gets a plum job, all these guys get fired or demoted but he gets a great job. In a weird way it shows how the white house is willing to protect the mother ship at the expense of the agents. Youre exactly right. Its a double standard, right . And it shows the hypocrisy of the administration because they fired secret Service Agents for the same conduct even though they said, well, listen prostitution is legal in cartagena in colombia so this is okay. As always its the coverup thats the most agregregious ofe crime, that aspect of it. Why are they saying hes okay to work for them if the secret Service Agents are not . Why . And that they covered it up as well. Thats the problem here. The think the coverup, putting it off which happens to be a regular thing for them. So, kermit, if i can ask you this question, this is not the Washington Post is not a crack pot website. This is the Washington Post. How can any of the left wing blogs or the liberal media dismiss this . Thats why theyre a little theyre floundering a little bit because theyre not sure. Carol lenning and David Nakamura have been writing these. Theyre seasoned reporters. If i were the White House Press secretary, if i saw this piece, i would say is there something i dont know. What do they know that we dont know, that somebody here hasnt told me or what questions am i not asking. Basically as soon as the piece posted, the white house was on the record saying its totally false. Interesting thing for me is this part where it says a lead government investigator told the investigators that he was pressured by superiors to withhold evidence because a link to the white house would be potentially embarrassing to the administration. The reason theyre having a big problem, i think at the white house defending this is that they know that these reporters, theyre not just going to throw anything out there. Their reputations are on the line. I would note that the Washington Post has not changed the story. Theyve not taken it down. Theres not been any editing of it i think there would have been if theres a problem. Why are you lafering at it . Its the beautiful twitter. Did you hear anything i just said . It was brilliant. Erica will add to that braille ia brilliance. Its a 15page piece and i pulled the same line. Here is what they quote, the lead investigator as saying. He was told to withhold and alter, forget withhold, withhold is bad enough, told to alter certain information in his report because it was potentially damaging to the administration. Wow. I mean, if that isnt as people will say maybe the irs isnt a scandal or benghazi is not a scandal. If someone from the white house tells an ig to withhold and alter information until after an election, i would call that a scandal. Can i talk briefly about this young guy, Jonathan Dach, i believe, i could be wrong, 25yearold advance, goes to colombia and then ends up at least loosely tied by these investigators with this prostitute and then comes back and gets a job in the office of womens global issues at the white house and his father, the rich donor, works in the administration as well. And has given at least 20,000 to president obama and thousands to the democratic party. Theyre good to their friends. Theyre good at that. None of us can expect the president to know or be responsible for Illicit Activity in colombia, but the coverup to save the election. Thats a practice. Thats pretty unconscionable. First of all, i want to go one, it was not the white house decision. Secret service made the decision. Back then i defended the secret service guys who were bachelors because its legal. I will be happy to defend this kid. He was a volunteer. He said it didnt happen. Im just saying so youre saying hes lying. Can i have a second, please . If i had that information and i were involved in politics and it was 60 days before the campaign, i would bury it, too. Wait, wait. You would tell someone to bury the information . He was a volunteer, i could care less. Who cares what the kid did. Its the fact this David Neyland is the lead investigator, the ig, was told by the white house to bury the information. You dont think thats a conspiracy . This was a nonemployee of the federal government who was doing exactly who got rewarded by a job thats a bad mistake. I would have sent him on his way. Thats not the point. To make a big deal out of this this doesnt he was told by the white house to bury the information. Forget about what he did. Who cares with a 25yearold kid does in colombia. Its the fact the white house leans on an ig to bury and alter certain information because of an election. He doesnt care. If you ever been in campaigns when things are close like that and something comes up that is not illegal, of course youre going to bury it. Bob, this is the son of a donor. So . Everybody got thrown under the bus but him. Thats pretty disgusting. Special treatment. Why should he volunteer under this bus . He might have been involved. And we have on top of that the fact that they delayed the report until after the election which seems to be a practice which is what happens and they were told to alter it. Come on. Can i add one more layer no one is shocked anymore by anything. The whole issue was the advance team knew exactly where president obama was going to be at every single point of the way. They had car services booked to go from here to here to here and if youre sleeping with a prostitution and if youre giving her that information if youre drunk and sleeping with her then maybe the world knows where president obama is going to be at what time. Okay. We obviously have different but this is a 25yearold kid first of all, hes not a kid. Hes 25 years old. That is a man. Hes making decisions on his own. He got his dad happened to be a rich guy who used to give money to the democrats. Fine. Goes on to serve in the administration at hhs. Then his son gets a plum assignment while everybody else has to take the fall. What kind of a man is that . Besides i actually care about the women. The women that work at the and also the women of colombia. This is someones daughter, mother, sister. These are women that have either chosen because of bad circumstances orb pushed into or forced into a situation that is terrible and i dont think that i dont like it that even if he is a volunteer, he still got paid government money to pay for his expenses. I dont want my government dollars to go exploiting women and you just have to hope theyre being humorous about it. The irony is not lost on us. I wonder how the spokespeople at the state department have and who has a war on women, i ask you . That was really on top of everything else, theyre just stupid. I cant imagine but theres moral e equivalency here. This is tape of congressman chaffetz slamming the white house double standard in this scandal. There were nearly two dozen secret service and military personnel that were either fired or reprimanded but the concern is that when it came to the white house and the white house taking care of its own personnel, totally different standard and perhaps a misdirection and some coverup. Its really the white house thats the key here, and they perpetuated a double standard where secret Service Agents were fired for hiring prostitutes as they should have been yet their own aide was involved and they covered it up. Theres a lot of double standards here. I keep thinking if this was under president bush they would blame it on his frat boy past. And it would be front page. Unfair dealing, lack of moral standards. This is not president bush. Were not in a corner. President obama is. The whole thing is this is how offensive it is. They keep outdoing themselves like you think that scandal bad, we got another one. It would have been they would have said it was a culture of allowing this type of bad behavior to happen. Turned a blind eye to it. They made it a terrible blunder giving this guy a job afterwards. Youve now elevated this to a scandal. Its not the point. The job he told the investigators to lie. I understand that. Im just saying i can sort of understand youre talking about the act itself you dont have a moral problem. One question at a time. Can i answer your question . You keep interrupting them. Right. The point is we get it. You dont think were talking about the lie. Cover up. And the media is complicity. Which portion should i answer . Youre running out of time. To the cover up. I want to hear that. If i were in a campaign and somebody came to me and said, bob, one of our volunteers who were helping the president s advance got hooked up with a prostitute in colombia. I would say is it illegal . No. Then i would say wait until after the election. Now theyve gone on record saying this is false, its not true, and when now we know it is. When theres some link to this guy and that prostitute and this room, youre going to have the white house again lying to the american people. One last thing quick, dana, the Bowe Bergdahl report, when is that coming out . Is that going to come out after the election . I dont know when it is coming out. I would say this. If the white house is sitting on that report and they are thinking that it is a smart thing to do to wait until after the election to reveal whatever information is in that report because they think it would possibly hurt them in the midterms but i dont think it will, if theyre holding that report back to try to protect the president , i think thats unconscionable and i hope the press is asking them where is that report . Unethical. Is this about the guy that went awol yeah. That would be a mistake. Dont go away. Your ebola update is up next on the five. We turn now to the ebola scare. 200 airplane cabin cleaners walked off the job today at new Yorks Laguardia airport. They say they fear for their safety because theyre not protected enough from possible exposure to ebola. Were here today because we can no longer tolerate unsafe working conditions. The whole country is shivering, worried about the problems of ebola. Airport workers are on the front lines of protecting the public. To protect the public, we have to protect the workers. Meanwhile, five airports in the u. S. Are going to be testing travelers from west africa for fevers when they arrive here in the united states. Something we talked about before that we thought they should have started doing right away in addition to grounding some of the flights. Eric, do they have the right call here, the right opinion to say were not protected enough, we dont have the right gear . The airport workers . Yeah, i feel bad for them, i really do. We dont know enough, and they said we need to be better trained. We need more equipment. We need more things to make sure that theyre safe. Thats all theyre asking for. I am no fans of unions and workers walking off the job, but in this case, when its life or death, i kind of understand that. Why five airports . Why not 500 airports . I can address that. Its a symbolic gesture which the white house loves to do, and the problem this is an important thing. When you do something for show, it always replaces doing something that actually solves the problem. Right. We live in an age where solutions are being replaced by symbolism. Symbolic gestures are deadlier than doing nothing. I think its fair to say it would be difficult to cover 500 airports. I dont know how many people work there but i think it should be more than that and by the way i want this data recorded. I know what youre going to say. You finally said something supportive of a union. No, no, no. If your life is on the line right. Just say okay. Okay. Okay. Im going to disagree. Really . Because i have been persuaded by dr. Frieden who runs the cdc who explained in an oped i thought was very well argued why he thinks it is a bad thing to shut down all the airports. All the flights from there. Its quite lengthy but one of the things he was saying is the difficulty of actually doing that, of needing to fight the problem at the source. Of actually it being kind of infective because people could be in those countries, do another country and then come here. Youre not solving the problem. He argues that you could make it worse if you shut down those airports. So im just ill say i trust them. They have to grapple with much larger and bigger issues than i have to. They have the front line responsibility for it. I would like to think that they know what theyre doing. I agree with you on that. Well we will find out eight months from now. We would think so except for the fact they sent people into the apartment without proper hazmat material. I mean,on. I think theyre kind of playing catchup on this. Obviously a very bright man. I like the fact he went to the scene. He went to the heart of the scene, to liberia, to see it for fantastic, but i disagree with his argument about shutting down the airports. Dont let the flights come in until we do what he said which is contain it at the source. Shut it down there. Apparently they also are having being vcriticized by some Health Care Workers about having a lack of information. We have a lot of ways to communicate with people through phones and it feels like the Health Care Workers, including a senior doctor, she is concerned because she heard nothing and she had like to know more. I thought it was the Sheriffs Department that sent that guy in there. But this is my point. They werent even supposed to have to go in there. They said it should have been federal employees. This isnt a tight operation. They want it to be. Theres a worldwide shortage of the medicine to treat ebola. You have dr. Kent brantley. E stopped twice to give blood to donate because theres a worldwide shortage to save people. Does the fault really lie with the Police Department . I think it gets back to the bigger point that the cdc has i think you could argue they have been late and they have been lax in their communication of how to prepare and be ready for it. Even if you are at a local Police Department, you have like a little Bulletin Board like fyi, everybody be aware of this. Dr. Frieden said its not necessary to wear hazmat materials to go into the scene. Five days later when they couldnt find anyone to go in and clean the apartment, then the people go in with the hazmat. Then the sheriff in the hospital theyre still testing for ebola markers even though he was just in there walked in, said he didnt touch any bodily fluids. And greg may be 100 right and we are overreacting, but as things start to come out, we realize we werent 100 accurate on certain things. It wouldnt be a bad idea. Can i throw a provocative thought on the table . Can you tell me what it is first . Shouldnt we be profiling people who we suspect of having or potentially having ebola . Thats what youre doing. No, youre not. I think you profile them by saying have you been traveling to that area or living there. That kind of profiling . Yes, you show symptoms, you come from that part of the world. I think thats what theyre doing. It sounds like theyre taking five airports and hope they catch something. What if questions are great on talk shows but hysteria, it can be as contagious as the disease and at times by getting people to act irrationally is deadlier because people do not take careful precautions when they panic. I know for television its going to be concerned but you have to control. I think this is controlled and measured and perhaps i dont know about you, kimberly. Coming up i think youre out of control. Completely. Just inside. Wire going to get you up to speed on whats happening now in races across the country ahead of the fastapproaching Midterm Elections. Dana has the low down next. Stay with us. That song was written for greg. The Midterm Election is 26 days awag. A fox news poll shows republicans trending ahe had in five battleground states. In south dakota it could spell trouble for the independent cae threeway contest is just behind the republican frontrunner. In North Carolina the race remains tight between kay hagan and her gop challenger tom tillis. He has been attacking her record on terror accusing her of skipping a hearing on isis to attend a fundraiser. On tuesday the senator admitted it was true. Did you miss any of the meetings specifically for a fundraiser. There was one. And it was scheduled early in the day, and then votes were scheduled, and that hearing then had to be postponed later that day. So, yes, i did miss that one. Were going to talk about that. First, bob, i have two questions for you. First, has your october surprise that you predicted happened yesterday . It hasnt. Is it still going to happen . Its the secret service. Ceahes still making it up. Most president s that have a second term when they go for the Midterm Election that that sixth year, they usually lose. Except for bill clinton believe it or not was able to pick up seats but that was partly because they were running against impeachment. The hardest thing to measure that i have learned from you, bob, is turnout
