FOXNEWSW The OReilly Factor October 16, 2014

Weigh in on ebola. Caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. The factor begins right now. Hi, im bill oreilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. The ebola situation gets even worse. That is the subject of this evenings talking points memo. When president obama cancels a fundraising trip, you know things are serious. And thats what happened today. Mr. Obama meeting with his cabinet about the growing ebola chaos in the u. S. A. Instead of traveling. Late last night texas Health Authorities announced a second Healthcare Worker at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital has contracted ebola. She is 29yearold amber joy vincent a registered nurse who treated the man who died from ebola Thomas Duncan a liberian national. That make twos American Nurses infected after treating duncan the other nurse pham remains in isolation. The other case is even more harrowing than the first because ms. Vinson took flight 113 from cleveland to dallas on october 13th. Apparently carrying the ebola virus. Now everybody on that flight has it to be monitored as well as all the people they came into contact with you can see how Thomas Duncan coming into the u. S. A. On a false premises has led to disaster. As you may know, talking points has demanded that u. S. Authorities stop admitting west africans into america right now. We have also called for the resignation of dr. Thomas frieden, the head of the cdc because he opposes that last night on the kelly file dr. Frieden was almost incoherent. Why not put a travel ban in place until we have shorn up the system . Above all do no harm. If we do things that are going to make it harder to stop the epidemic there, its going to spread to other parts. How is it going to make it harder to stop it over there. Because you cant get people in and out . Why cant we have charter flights. You know are charter flights dont do the same thing commercial airliner does . What do you they fly in and y out. If we isolate these countries whats not going to happen is disease spreading there we will be at higher risk. Does that make any sense to anybody . Anybody . It is just ridiculous. The man is spouting nonsense. His explanation, like previous ones that have been given for the reason for not imposing a travel ban in order to keep people from those infected areas out of this country for the time being i thought makes no sense. And there could be even a more frightening scenario on the horizon. Marine corps general john kelly who is in charge of the u. S. Southern command told the National Defense university that all hell could very well break loose in this country. If ebola breaks out, in haiti or in central america, i think it is literally cady bar the door in terms of the mass migration of Central Americans into the United States. 68,000 children essentially country pretty much unimpeded. So, these populations will move. To either run away from ebola or if they have been are in the fear of having been infected to get to the United States where they will be taken care of. General kellys assessment is speculative but certainly possible. So now the federal government looks stupid. It underreacted to the ebola threat. It still isnt imposing a travel ban from west africa and our border is still porous in the south. Thats what happens when leadership is weak dr. Frieden out of there. He botched it. Period. President obama, stop the fundraising, Pay Attention to your country. For everybody else, stay calm, but let your senators and Congress People know you want that travel ban now. And thats the memo. Now for the top story. Tomorrow, there will be a hearing about ebola in washington. Joining us from pittsburgh, the chairman of the house energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee on oversight and investigations, congressman tim murphy who will oversee that hearing. First of all, congressman, do you agree with my assessment . About the travel ban, yes. I was calling for that initially as well. Look, when president obama told us back in september screening people on airlines and telling flight attendants how to screen and what to watch out for and screening from africa was going to work it wasnt going to work. We had that evidence right from the on set when mr. Duncan and others, lets face it, if you had had a chance to come to the United States for healthcare, would anybody tell the truth . I think no. I would not trust that the second thing is if they are screening with these thermometers, you can mask that by taking medication. You may still be carrying ebola but not symptomatic. Two parts of this travel ban that im concerned about. Making sure that american citizens have the right to return. But there needs to be restrictions on where they can be. A quarantine, other travel bans domestically, not getting on planes and traveling around. But the crux of the matter is you dont accept citizens from infected areas. You dont accept their visas. You dont accept their passports if they come and fly in from belgium or whatever, you say im sorry you have to go home. You dont let them in. Thats how you handle it. You talked to dr. Frieden yourself i understand about the travel ban, did you not . Yes, i did. He explained to me the concern was that there are fledgling democracies and if we put a travel ban that may affect their harm them. This guy is telling you their theoretical things that their economies may be damaged . His job is to protect us. Not some theoretical thing about maybe an economy will be damaged. I mean, this is why this guy has got to go. He has got to go. And i see it as, look, we can still move planes in and out thereof with supplies. Of course. We can do a lot. We can help in every other way with economics. We can provide a lot of support to these nations. The United States is doing it both the government and nongovernment organizations. A massive amount of charity is going to help these people as we should. I dont understand the concept of if we stop flights in travel that would be a problem. I think we need to do that because our first concern is. Absolutely. Do no harm. This guy has not been able to answer that question from the jump. He has i would like to know tomorrow when you are talking to him because is he coming in to talk to you, right, frieden . Yes, he is. Who is pulling his strings, congressman . He is not doing it on his own. Somebody is telling him to say this stuff. Is it secretary of state kerry . Who is it . Who is pulling this guys strings . Have you been around long enough to know these bureaucrats dont come out and make policy. They are telling him what to say. Who is telling him . President obama telling him that . Will you get that for us if you can . We intend to ask him where this policy is coming from, these other aspects and why he thinks that. We have a lot of questions to ask him. Including such things as what happens coming forth . Are Hospital Personnel properly trained . Are they equipped . I dont think they are. Of course not. They are not equipped. And as you pointed out, civilian employees at jfk and Dulles Airport are supposed to spot this thing when its dormant for 21 days . This is so insane. Im so angry now. And im blaming it on the president because the president can change this policy like that. Can he issue an executive order, stop the flights right now. Stop the visas and passports right now. Air france has stopped them. British airways has stopped them. We dont fly nonstop into most of these countries by the way. We go over places. Its not like we have a lot of commerce. And not a lot of people coming from those countries here. But just until you get organized, stop it. Last word, congressman. Well, and precisely that every morning this president wakes up, his first concern should be the safety of our country. Whether its isis. Whether its a disease. Whether its anything. That should be his concern every day. He doesnt need to appoint another czar. He doesnt need lead from behind. He doesnt need to appoint his way out of this. He needs to do executive order right after your hearing tomorrow. And frieden needs to go. All right, congressman. Thanks very much. Next on the rundown glenn beck who lives in dallas will give us his take on the ebola stuff. Later, Dennis Miller on nbc medical correspondent dr. Nancy sneiderman breaking her quarantine on ebola. Wait until you hear this. Factor is coming right back. [safety beeping] [safety beeping] [safety beeping] the nissan rogue, with safety shield technologies. The only thing left to fear is your imagination. Nissan. Innovation that excites. Continuing now with lead story. Threat of ebola in the u. S. A. Should the u. S. A. Ban flights from countries with where the ebola virus has broken out. 65 yes. 6 5 no. Is the government hiding information about ebola. Had 45 yes. 46 no. Joining us from dallas, legendary glenn beck who now lives north of that city. Whats your assessment . I think this is crazy. I mean, you hit it nail right on the head, bill. With your last guest, congressman, and your talking points memo right spot on. Their policies make absolutely no sense whatsoever for them to say they are not going to stop flights doesnt make any sense. We can help people by flying people. In but a quarantine is necessary. This has been this has happened from the beginning of time. Everybody knows you quarantine. This idea that nurse has ebola in the hospital flew from Frontier Airlines from cleveland and back. And now they have ground the plane. They are looking for the other people that were on the plane and here is the most insane thing, bill. They are now saying that they are going to stop people from flying. Those people cant fly anymore. And if you have been around ebola you cant fly anymore. So they are banning our citizens from flying but they wont ban foreigners from flying into our countries. Its madness all built around Political Correctness. And arrogance dereliction of leadership. Narms it out to frieden. He must know that he looks like a ridiculous. I dont think so, bill. He wouldnt come on the factor, beck. We asked him on and he wouldnt come on here and he has to know i would have carved him up and thats why he didnt come on. Heres the thing. Is he easy to carve up. He did his token last night. He talked to one of us, fortunately it was megan and she, you know, carved him up as well. But, all of us can expose this guy. But you dont need to work very hard. It doesnt make any sense im living in texas. 11 miles away from the hospital. Four employees two of them live in that complex. Two of them live a block away from that complex where that was. They havent had any exposure to this. I have several employees, i have 310 employees. Several employees have said to me today, what do we do . Should they be here . Should they not be here . A, nothing to worry about at this point, b, i dont know what to do. Tonight, i mean i actually i feel like im on the set of the sopranos, can you open up a bit . Tonight we have the whole set wrapped because im going to show you exactly how easy what these guys did and how they wrapped themselves and how easy it is to be tainted with the ebola virus. Nobody is paying attention to this o. Pofer that goggle testimony every person that gets this mutates it and changes. Safety first but we are doing Political Correctness first. Thats right. In france and Great Britain got on it right away. I dont know if he they are denying visas and passports. They shouldable over there. There is nothing wrong with quarantine. If you you want to come to america. Come to america. Thats great. 21 days, 25 days in quarantine. Thats what ellis island was for. We have done this before. There is no compelling reason, by the way, all right. For us not to have this ban because, with technology, im talking to beck from new york. Listen to what the president just said or what his people are saying. It will hurt their economy. Did you see the stock market today . Thats with two people that are in a hospital right now with ebola. It dropped almost 400 points. What are you talking. At one point it came back a little bit. We are going to do that in a little while. You are absolutely right. If somebody has a relative over there. They would have to go through a procedure and have to be examined before they get, in there can be waivers but just there is no compelling reason not to do this i think this is mass incompetence and arrogance. Let me just ask you this question. If this were happening in washington, d. C. Right now, do you think the president and his administration would be acting like this . Do you think the congress would be acting like this . This is happening in dallas, texas. This is a top ten city in the United States of america. Happens to be one that doesnt particularly care for the president all that much and his policies. One that the president has not been too favorable on. We are already being squeezed on our southern border. Now we are being squeezed by ebola. Is there an agenda here . You are exactly right of the. Our southern border is so porous right now. We have cartel killings. The cartels are here. Do you think if people think they can get a cure here. No doubt about it. Is he the big general in charge of the southern command. Real crazy. Real quick. Are you buying this poor guy mukpo freelance nbc cameraman now in nebraska. He says he got it by wash ago car can a. Are you buying that . I dont know what to buy anymore, bill. I dont think so. But i dont know. Cameraman go to liberia and wash cars, beck. Its nbc news. Probably all of them instead of actually tracking down sources for their story. All right. There is beck, everybody and his new book dreamers and deceivers, true stories of the heroes and villains had who made america will be released on october 28th just in time for haul eaten. Would directly ahead telling the truth about ebola. Our truth serum correspondence are on the case. Nbc medical correspondent dr. Nancy sneiderman breaking her quarantine. Those reports up ahead. I love having a free checked bag. With my united mileageplus explorer card. I have saved 75 in checked bag fees. Priority boarding is really important to us. You can just get on the plane and relax. I love to travel, no foreign transaction fees means real savings. We can go to any country and spend money the way we would in the us. When i spend money on this card i can see brazil in my future. I use the explorer card to earn miles in order to go visit my family which means a lot to me. Truth serum segment tonight. We begin with an early sound bite from president obama on ebola. It is not spread like the flu. You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus. You cannot get it from another person until they show the symptoms of the disease like fever. Here now ace correspondents molly line and eric shawn. Did the president make any mistakes . Today p. Today dr. Frieden your favorite. My pal. He said that statement was vetted by the cdc before the president said that i think there is a glaring omission intentional or not. They have been telling us for weeks that ebola is only spread by direct contact through bodily fluids, vomit, diarrhea, blood. You are not going to put your hands in someones diarrhea and blood. Also through mucous. That means someone has it and symptomatic and sneeze like on this it airplane and you are just a foot away. A droplets if you ingest the droplets the cdc does admit it is possible then to catch ebola. We have a letter writer who said, look, if these two nurses from dallas who were wearing protective gear by the way. Thats the reporting from the federal government, both of them. They can get it that is a civilian who comes into casual contact, what chance do they have . I think that the government to be truthful this is the truth serum segment under played this. Does it look like they underplayed this . I think when you consider the fact that if you sneeze and get the droplets in your eyes or nose. You are going to get it . Potentially. Also something else, doorknobs this was hided in the New York Times two weeks ago. A point, like a nugget according to the cdc the virus can survive for a few hours on dry surfaces like doorknobs and counter tops. Survive several days. Puddles and no evidence of direct contact from a doorknob or a dry surface but still it can survive. This is a contagion that is vicious. Thats why we cant play around anymore. That being said, line, the far left group, the agenda project, a bunch loons are trying to use the ebola virus in a political way. Roll the tape. Washington actually can cut spending. Thedc says discretionary funding has been cut by 585 million since 2010. Cut, cut, cut. Cut, cut can. Cut. Make a cut. [breathing] okay, so whats the cut deal . Terrible editing there. You see it all mashed together like their creepy ad but completely and totally true that the discretionary budget has been cut over the last four years. The cdc funding for emerging and Infectious Diseases actually increased by 109 million in the last four years also really worth noting that when it comes to the total cdc program funding, Congress Actually gave the cdc more money than the white house asked for in 2013 and 2014. For instance 6. 4 billion the level of spending that Congress Actually enacted the administration had requested 6. 6 billion for 2014 the last year sequester which you said in the beginning across the board cuts was passed into law by who . Signed into law by, of course, the president. The president of the United States. Whenever you talk about budget issues you talk about everybody. I love this the agenda project they trot out all they were not even talking about cutting the cdc budget they were talking these conservative republicans talking about cutting the budget so they take that out of context think totally ignore the facts that the cuts cut cdc signed into law by president obama. Look at the timing here, suspicious timing. Dont you see the beauty of this. I hope you see the beauty of this con. This is the biggest con. I see a lot of beauty in politics. They put that out, they lie blatantly, they take out of context, cut cut cut when they are not even talking about the cdc and then they ignore the fact the sequester they did cut was signed by
