Dallas firefighters or paramedics on sunday picked up the ebola patient. Theyre under quarantine at home. Its going to be a long quarantine for the next 21 days. Theyll be doing selfexaminations, taking their temperature, and reporting any changes to authorities. Theyre quarantined as well as the ambulance. It was under quarantine for awhile. We believe its back in service. Because a patient showed up here on sunday and was diagnosed with ebola. Now the patient, here is what we know about him. He came here on the 20th of september from west africa from the nation of liberia. Four days later here in dallas, he began showing symptoms. He came to the doctors here at the hospital on friday, 26th. For whatever reason they never asked him about where he was from and made the connection that perhaps his fever and other symptoms were tied to ebola. But gave him some antibiotics and sent him home. He came back by ambulance on sunday. The tests were made and they came back conclusive yesterday that the man has ebola. The first patient diagnosed in the u. S. With the deadly disease. Charles, thank you so much for that live report this morning from texas. Lets bring in Infectious Disease expert dr. Alexander senior. Doctor, so good to see you. This is troubling when you look at the calendar. So he felt sick on the 24th but it wasnt until the 28th that he really was brought in under emergency situation. Tell me about those days. Those are the days when hes contagious. Once youre symptomic with ebola thats when the people can catch it. Its still quite hard to catch. You have to be direct contact with the bodily fluids. It needs to get through broken skin or into your mouth or eyes. Its not easy to catch on the subway or any casual exposure. Nonetheless, we have to track down the people. He was visiting family members. Clearly he was staying with family. Thats close quarters. Proximity, kiss, hug,ing, not thinking you have ebola. How concerned are we that those family members should be quarantined or . I think theres no question they have to be quarantined. They have to be quarantined for as long as we know ebola can take maximum ink base time which is 21 time. He flew from liberia to the United States before he showed any symptoms. Should we be concerned about the passengers on the long flight . As far as we know. To the best of our knowledge you cant catch ebola from someone even if theyre infective and symptom attic. People on the plane have no reason to worry. If i was on the plane i would want to know. I think everyone would want to know. We dont know everything about the disease. Its only infected a few thousand people in a few history of studying the disease. I would want to know. Reassure them. Here are the resources if you need. It. If you are in the area and know some of the family members that were housing this gentleman, what are some things i should be looking for in a personal level . Its flulike symptoms. If youre worried whether or not you have ebola. Its flulike symptoms. Fever, muscle waache. It could be any number of things coming from west of a cap. The doctors needed a good reason to put him in isolation. They didnt have one at the time. Youve been on the ground conducting aid work. Our own doctor is in liberia. What is going to take to get ahead of the epidemic . If you want no more cases in america, the only thing we can do is control the virus in west africa. We cannot stop with ebola is coming to the u. S. The reason this is happened because we didnt do anything for the last few months. Its basically one private medical charitity doing just about everything. Theyre an amazing organization. They do incredible work but theyre overworked. What do we need to do yesterday . What we need to do is isolate cases, in order to isolate people you need to provide treatment facility, meds, doctors. Were talking about building several huge hospitals. Thats the scale. Several huge hospitals people who are very sick. We need to do active case finding. You go village to village and say is anyone sick . You isolate them. Educate the population about how to behavior. Hand washing and those things. Very complicated but it can be done. Weve seen it in nigeria. Nay rolled it back. No cases for 21 days. A pleasure to see you. Thank you very much p. Lets go to the white house. President obama has gotten a briefing. Good morning. Before we get to the president s meeting with netanyahu next hour. The president is dealing with the pressing matter at home. Yes, he is. Talking to the head of the cdc about the ebola patient, and focussing on stringent isolation protocols. Wanting to be sure everything that can be done is being done. Got those assurances. Remember it was a couple of weeks ago that the president went personally to the centers for Disease Control and i can tell you that he said then the chances of an Ebola Outbreak here in the United States are extremely low as has been pointed out. The cdc officials still believe that. But obviously the level of concern has been raised. People are looking to the white house and cdc for further assurances there wont be a wide spread outbreak here. In the meantime, more americans are going to liberia and setting up some of the infrastructure that is going to be needed to help contain the outbreak in that part of africa. And in the next hour, chris, president obama hosts an Oval Office Meeting with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. What is on the agenda this morning . I thought it was funny when israeli newspapers said the two men are are looking forward to this with theness of a den ties appointment. They have something in common now. Thats the desire to fight extremism. To fight isis. And we saw just on monday at the United Nations that coming up in the speech by netanyahu, he compared isis to hamas calling the branchs of same poisonous tree. Other areas will not be easy to talk about. Obviously the palestinian question but as well the Iranian Nuclear talks. Netanyahu has been weary about that. Hell want assurances from the president that no deal is better than a bad deal. He means that. The conversation will get underway in the next hour. Thank you so much for your time. Lets continue talking about the issue. Lets bring in Washington Post correspondent. Good morning. Chris touched on this what they have in common israel and United States is the issue of how to deal with isis. Isis, no doubt, will be on the agen agenda. Air strikes the u. S. Allies conducted more rounds of isis air strikes on syria and iraq. What role is israel playing, if any, in in the campaign . In the campaign in syria, israel is really not playing much of a role at all. Syria is a next door neighbor and flown its own reconnaissance flights and maintains other intelligence in syria. Israel is not really a party to the current campaign. And you can see why. The whole u. S. And western strategy is to bring in as much sunni arab support as it can. So this doesnt look like western intervention and in that, israel doesnt want to be cozy with the saudis and they want to be cozy with them. I think that will be a small area of common concern, but not much common action for president obama and Prime Minister netanyahu. This is their first meeting since a couple of very important things have happened. The collapse of the Israeli Palestinian peace talks, and the postponement of the first deadline in the iran talks and now its crunch time in the second. By the way, the gaza campaign, which left netanyahu and palestinian Prime Minister in recent days accusing one another of war crimes. They have a lot to talk about. Absolutely. President obama met with the National Security council yesterday to discuss a strategy against isis. Current and former pentagon Officials Say theyre dealing with significant intelligence gaps. What is the u. S. Doing to get the gap min niced . Theres so little they can do. I mean, its really not too much of an overstatement to say that theres a significant wine spot. Which is not what the pentagon wants to be operating in. They have collected as much intelligence as they can from their own aerial reconnaissance and from intelligence on the ground and otherwise from sunni arab partners. Now many of these countries have very good intelligence services, which probably are familiar with doing things that the United States doesnt really want to do itself. They have a fairly good means of collecting information from people who have left syria and people who are still inside. Thats not the same thing as the kind of really exact targeting information that the pentagon has been used to receiving in its drone campaigns in somalia and yemen, for example, and thats one of the reasons you see this slight bending of the rules that a couple of news organizations reported yesterday that for the first time the white house is allowing strikes that dont conform to those strict rules to avoid civilian casualties. Thank you so much for your time. We appreciate seeing you. Were going to take a short break. Coming uptake a look at the impressive live pictures. Its live in hong kong. Massive crowd assembled in the name of freedom. Theyre peaceful. It could it turn on a dime . More secret Service Fallout for director julia piereson. Here is what representative elijah couplings told morning joe this morning. Im not impressed and i was extremely disappointed. Ive come to the conclusion that my confidence and my trust in this director piereson has eroded. And i do not feel comfortable with her in that position. [ telephone rings ] [ shirley ] edward jones. [ male announcer ] with nearly 7 million investors. Oh hey, neill, how are you . [ male announcer ]. Youd expect us to have a highly skilled call center. Kevin, neill holleys on line one. Ok, great. [ male announcer ] and we do. Its how edward jones makes sense of investing. Ugh. Heartburn. Did someone say burn . Try alka seltzer reliefchews. They work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. Mmm. Amazing. Yeah, i get that a lot. Alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. Enjoy the relief. Trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. Well heres the truth 46 will save lives. It will save money too. Im bob pack, and im fighting for prop 46 because i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i dont want anyone else to lose theirs. The three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. Save money and save lives. Yes on 46. This morning were learning stunning revelations about security lapses in the secret service. A private security agent carrying a gun shared an elevator with president obama and his secret Service Details during the president s trip during the cdc on the 16th of september. Were learning the secret Service Agent who caught Omar Gonzalez was off duty. Secret Service Director julia piereson took bipartisan she lacking from lawmakers on capitol hill yesterday. Some wondering for she may have to go. I would like to bring in a former secret Service Agent and an author. These reports come out and im, like, can it really be happening in the United States of america . Yes. That a president it can go into an elevator with a guy who is packing heat and no one, you know, knows about this . Yeah. Theres no way to put lipstick on that. It was a clear security lapse. Its not protocol, by the way. The secret service manifest elevators like a pilot manifest an aircraft. You dont get on the elevator with a president unless you almost have the ticket to get on. How it happened, im not sure. I dont think the granular details have come out on the specific incident. My guess it was an offtherecord movement. It wasnt a planned movement. The white house continues to vigorously defend the secret service. You worked on president obamas details. What troubles you most about all of these revelations, including the fact this guy was able to jump the fence, run the lawn, open an unlocked door, and waltz his way through the first floor. That so many layers of the process broke down at the same time. To me, is almost implausible. Be the equivalent of a live show going off the air. It doesnt happen. Theres redundancies built in. Theres generators and the like. The same thing with the secret Service Security plan. We pulled this off hundreds of times taking down fence jumpers, mitigating the threat within 10 yards of the fence. I dont know i have no explanation how the dog failed, how the seen and unseen mechanisms seemed to break down ta at the same time. Some were saying secret Service Officers have expressed the fact they cant go to their superiors when they see something that troubles them because simply the culture doesnt exist to do that and not feel youre going get reprized. This is something part of the culture in the secret service . Yeah. Its unfortunate. Its a great question. Its decimating the secret service. If i can be frank and candid with you. It is. The morale is at an alltime low. Ive received so many phone calls from officers and agents. They cant believe they came on the job five or ten years ago. They were proud to be part of the elite agencies and how far the reputation has fallen. In my opinion, in some case s terrible leadership. I think its time for someone outside of it to look at it without a rose colored glasses. You think its time for her to go . Sadly, yeah. Thank you very much. These are extraordinary men and women protecting the president and so many of our elected officials. Theyre extraordinary people. Its too bad its coming to light and, frankly, very dangerous. Appreciate your time. I would like to bring in john mica. Good morning. Good to be with you, jose. Thank you. I want to roll the tape from the hearing well, obviously you had two failures, one Human Performance failure by a secret service and a technology failure, and its interesting. Everybody is ganging up on julia piereson who has been in the job for a little over a year, and actually she came to our committee sometime ago and asked for tools to skbroouf the Human Performance. Two things, one to get better qualify qualifications for the agents and be able to hire and fire. Unfortunately the secret service, like many other washington bureaucracies nobody gets fired. No one has to be held accountable, and its slipped into that mode. She asked for this help. It was presented to the democrats the other side of the ail, a aisle and they said n. They love ganging up and beating on people, but part of the problem is congress didnt give her the authority to do the job to manage the agents. All right. That may well be. It is. Okay. It is an important fact. How can you manage an agency . And she specifically asked for this months ago and they sat on it and ganged up and beat her up. Now theyre asking for her resignation. When bureaucracy doesnt w k work. If youre going to get your drivers license and the bureaucracy doesnt work and youre waiting eight hours. It hurts your paycheck if youre working on a daily. This is a situation where the president s life is in danger. You get fired and youre out the door. She asked for some ability to control her manage her agency that she took over a year ago. Congress all right. Congress and our Committee Sat on it. What needs to be done in the future . Thats the first thing. The second thing is technology solutions. You have fence jumpers, the fence was put in in 1965, it65s 76. You dont need to hire another thousand employees. Raise the fence. Put in some technology. Even adt can detect when a window is broken. I dont have that service in my house. I pointed it out. Showing it hear a bullet hit the window at the white house and they didnt know about it for four days. That was four years ago. But Common Sense Solutions in washington. And julia came to us with a proposal that didnt require more agents. Actually reducing it. Give her the power to have the best human trained agents and hire them than be able to hire and fire. Hold them accountable and put some technology in that doesnt cost the taxpayers an arm and leg. I know, thats a dumb suggestion. Mono. Thats very good. Anything that can be done should be done. The fact that the secret Service Agents said they cant go to the superiors because they fear the repercussions of that. Thats something that can be dealt with and it wont cost any money. Be you give her the authority to hire and fire and upgrade the quality of those that are coming in and youll make a dramatic difference. Again, when somebody doesnt performance at msnbc theyre out the door immediately. There are consequences and accountability. The psa the same thing needs to happen. We did it in va. We finally gave them the authority to fire people. Why cant you do it secret service and the Committee Sat on her request for months. They pontificated now theyre calling if her dismissal. I think people need to dismiss some of the people in congress who arent acting on their behalf. Elections are coming up in november. Its a good reminder. Thank you for being with me. Coming up its images like this has the whole world watching long congress. Well have a live report coming up. First, here is a look into a hearing on capitol hill today that may not be getting the attention it deserves. Well tell you what is going on in just seconds.

A man who doesnt stand still. But jim has afib, Atrial Fibrillation an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto®, jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto®. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. Gps proceed to the designated route. Not today. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. Onceaday xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions.

Protesters issued a warning to the citys leader resign by thursday or they will occupy government buildings. Theyre expecting their biggest crowds over the next two days as people commemorate chinas national holiday. The 65th anniversary of chinas communist revolution. This is what it looks like right now in hong kong where its after 10 30 in the evening. Its catching steam here in the u. S. With a rally supporting the protesters scheduled for tonight right here in new york. Protests have filled the streets of three areas of hong kong. One protest leader said the demand is simple. The sinner is answer to our deman demands. That is he has to step down immediately and give hong kong an opportunity to discuss our constitution. Ian williams is live in hong kong. Good morning, ian. We have incredible images. You can see the behind you. What is the response from the government so good morning to you, jose. Its quite an event here in hong kong. The heart of the financial district has been swamped by democracy. Protesters tens of thousands of them. Its pretty lively, festive and increasing. As to the responds of the theyre not about to do that. Beijing called them a bunch of streami i extremists. All so you to do is walk through the protesters and you see how organized and dignified it is. This day is chinas national day. Its very much their message to beijing. And i just was struck by the words youre using to describe the brave men and women of all ages who are out knowing that things could not end well, if you look at the past and how the Chinese Government has acted in the past. But is social media continuing to play a part in this organization you described as being so well carried out . Well, here in hong kong, they operate under a greater degree of an ton my than in mainland china. This protest wouldnt be tolerated. The instinct is to crack down immediately and harshly. Here in hong kong its more complicated. If they were to instigate a tough crack down attempt here. They had a botched attempt its going to get more people on the street as we have seen this week. If they do nothing, or if they give concessions to the proters here, that could, of course, lead to more commands for greater democracy in china itself. Which is not something which they particularly welcome either, jose. Ian williams live in hong kong. Thank you so much for being with me this morning, evening for you, my friend. The images coming out of hong kong are extraordinary. Some of the ones youve been seeing were taken my by next guest afp photojournalist. Hes joining me by phone. Alex, thank you for being with me. Describe what youre seeing right now. Right now im across the hong kong island. Protest has spread. Its right on the other side. The government headquarters here on shopping street kind of the street that you would imagine being quite synonymous with hong kong. Prada and luxury stores. People are sitting on the streets listening to speeches. Its national day, so people dont have work or school. They have a good reason they can stay out here the whole time. Its interesting. Tell me what struck you most about the people. The protesters well, absolutely. The politeness. The cleanliness in terms of sweeping up and recycling. The huge supply stations set up. Bottles of water, food, and people are offering you, you know, free drinks and free food at every opportunity. Even when starts raining everyone bringing out the umbrellas. And when its sunny everyone brings out the umbrella. Its a communal environment. I want to thank you for the powerful images. They help tell the story that needs to be told. I appreciate you being on this morning as well. Thanks. We want to get back to the top story. Ebola in the United States. The centers for Disease Control confirmed yesterday that a man repeatedly traveled from liberia to dallas last month has the virus. Hes been in isolation since sunday. Three members of the ambulance crew exposed to the patient have tested negative. Theyre being quarantined and monitored for the next 21 days just in case. Lets bring in Infectious Disease specialist with uh case. A lot of people out there were scared. How concerned should we be . Well, you know, this is something that, honestly from an Infectious Disease standpoint is inevitable. When you have a outbreak purr cest like this. Were going to see sporadic cases. The world is interconnected. We see people moving to and from the area. The reason, have the controls already to screen the area leaving the area. Contact the people who are symptommatic before they get on the plane. Unfortunately for ebola because the ink bacue base is so long. We can miss the people early on exposed but dont develop symptoms until several weeks later which is what happened in this case. Should we be concerned . No. We have identified the person. Were working to identify any of his contacts, were going to be watching them closely. Thank you for being with us. Its important to clear things up and mitigate the fear that many people may have. Coming up perhaps by now you have seen the hashtag im bilingual. And how bilingualism and biculturism shapes the life of my next guest. [ man ] look how beautiful it is. Honey, we need to talk.

We hope in each day for each other saying hello shalom, h howdy, beunos dias in the language my mother taught me. In every language spoken into one wind carrying our lives without prejudice as these records break from my lips. That was Richard Blanco reciting his poem one day many languages that make america america. Spokest by the first openly gay inauguration poet ever. The many identities are the core of his new memoir. His story of growing up in miami. A young man trying to find out his american identity living with his cuban exiled family. Richard blanco is the author. Hes with me this morning. Good morning. How are you . Richard, the whole bilingual, bicultural identity. Such an important part of the american story. Its not one told enough. What is the message to a young latino boy growing up now trying to get his mother to take him to the supermarket. What i learned in my lifetime is all the things are complex things. You dont have to pick one or the other. Its all one thing. Growing up cuban and american. What all the things mean all come together into the pot. Ive never seen in both languages. And i think what are you dreaming . Mostly in spanish. There are certain words and things in spanish i have to say that. I know that. What i tried to do is realize the text i try to present is one thing. I rarely quick translation. I like to work both languages at the same time. Thats the way i think. I know. And, by the way, your book is filled with them. Its a fascinating read. Its extraordinary. I appreciate you writing it. You had to deal with your sexuality intertwinned with living in a household sometimes didnt understand or support it. How did that add to your struggle and your american identity . Well, i think when i became interested in investigating is how all the things come together. I cant separate who i am as a cuban man, an engineer, poet. Thats a picture of you. That was a scary one. That was my grandmother and my grandfather. Im sorry, keep going. All the things sort of hap happy happen. The idea of culturalism sexual and my story i was in a cuban household versus an asianamerican kid who grew up somewhere in topeka, kansas. I became interested in showing those things. What im fascinated with. My grandmother was home phobic. Anything that was culturally weird was gay. Why would that be culturally odd . Think about it. But it is. Fruitloops. A tough way. Cub scouts. So its all the interesting things that make your story. They happen together and at the same time. Sometimes we slice ourselves too thin. Sometimes labels slice us too thin. I like all the labels. I like them all together at the same time. Whatever were going through, we have so many things in common. Even with people who are going through different things. But were all part of this experience of what is america. Exactly. This fabric of society. Exactly. The idea of personal becoming in my own writing and in my quest is the american question in a way. Yes. Were still becoming. One thing i realize in the inauguration is our country that is young as a country. That story is still being written. America here is coming of age itself too. Ive seen that in the past couple of in my lifetime. Maturing in different and wonderful ways and sometimes not. But sometimes in great ways. And immigration is one of those, you know, the sense of our stories as immigrants are becoming part of just the things we want to talk about in certain good and bad. People use it yeah. Its a great thing. And, you know, the bilingual story is one we its very much part of this show. And some people seem to be bothered by. Last week imbilingual became a National Trending topic. What do you say to those who say youre in america, stick to english. Stop it its a melting pot its not about where you came from its about you being here. I think its in some ways the american story has always been sort of woven from all of these countries and fabrics into this fabric. And i certainly am not going to give up the language. I mean, i do say on the other hand, yes, we learn english but that doesnt mean you have to abandon your linguistic root. Why would you limit yourself . Why would being an american include limiting yourself . Right. It doesnt have to be one or the other. In fact, the title which you pronounced wonderfully. The title of the book was a little i was wondering how it was going to be received. Luckily i havent gotten any pushback. Its not an easy one. Just wait. Theres time. I want to show you before we go. The side by side pictures. Look at that. You on the left and me on the right. You smiling and by the way, the bow tie and jacket combo much better. Wonderful. I think i have the same hair. You do. What are you trying to imply about me . No, go ahead. Every word counts in your world in your life. What a pleasure to see you. Congratulations on your book. Thank you for writing it. Thank you. Pick it up. Its extraordinary. Lets continue the conversation online. Use the imbilingual. What does it mean to you . Midterm money up next.

And republicans are now bringing that war to the air waives in a big way. Out advertising democrats in four major battleground states in the final days before the election. Joining me to break it down. Onehalf of msnbc and thank you so much. Ive been wanting to have you on for so long. Weve been wanting to join you. Youve been talking and taking to twitter on this topic first tweeting and retweeting the image of the nonstop emails yesterday. Look at all that begging. Yeah, you have the Democratic Congressional campaign sending out emails from barack obama, from nancy pelosi. You can look pathetic when you beg too much. They need the money they try to motivate people. They get outspend. Outside groups are huge here, jose. 223 million. That makes it the most expensive midterms ever. This isnt just something were seeing on the democrat side. The republicans are doing the same version of that. Yep. Its an all out war. Is it a good term to be using . I feel like it. Im receiving emails from the republicans. It feels like the world is coming to an end unless you give them 5 or 10. Democrats are doing just fine. You look they were covering the air waives the first two weeks of september. I think republicans got a little bit afraid realizing the hang over from 2012 is impacting it. Now people are not wanting to give money to republicans because they feel they totally got duped in 2012. What theyre doing is instilling fear in people. You have karl rove sending emails. Mitt romney sending emails. Saying for you dont give us monies democrats can potentially win and your life is over. Its either fear or begging. Fear or begging. Its pretty high principles. Its american politics. When people look and theyre frustrated when they feel not inaccurately as well. All the money will fly around anyway. All the outside spending is happening. A lot of outside ad not only is there a question of who is making the democracy but the ads arent accountable to the candidates. T there was a study out showing 46 of the ads by the outside groups are negative out the gate. People get mad at the candidates. Actually it wasnt the candidate attacking the other guy or gal. That was another group. They have so little control. There and the negative ads everybody said its terrible but they work. They sell. I have the experience from the 2012 campaign talking to political operatives. I would say they would throw out my ad and say these are far for negative. And this is what works. This is what sells. When we see people are disenfranchised with government. Its not working why should i care, vote, or give money . Sometimes if you instill enough fear they might do something. I want to talk about this further days. For example, the Latino Community has been suffering from a lot of apathy, frankly. For both Political Parties but i want to hear what on the cycle today. Thats a good question. Youre here. Tease. Show it. I want to tease your somehow. The story everybody is talking about. I know, you did something on the show earlier.
