21-damon to21-day monitoring period is coming to an end by the end of this weekend, is that correct? that is correct, sir. do we know how many are being monitored right now? yes. in total or of the 48? yes. so, of the 48 it will be over on sunday. and then there s another 77, so 135 in total. and that number goes up and down can go up and down as we do more disease detective work. it s 135 today. i know earlier this week you indicated there was very much a real possibility we might see some more victims brought here to texas presbyterian. is that still the case? do we still think that s something that could happen over the next few days? yes. we have to plan for that contingency. that is a real possibility. and we are preparing and planning for that. and we are working long hours to make sure that that occurs. those people will get world class care. and that s one of the reasons why we sent the two nurses to other facilities. so, we ve got three isolation units ready to go. let s talk a little about the hospital. as you know, there has been a great deal of criticism leveled at texas presbyterian. they ve gone out, hired one of the largest pr firms in this country. have you noticed a shift in the way the hospital has handled things over the past day or two versus in the first few days after all of this started? well, i think that being the first hospital in america to see ebola, it is a humbling experience. and then when you ve got 75 of your hometown health care heroes, they were waiting to see if they are going to catch ebola like nina and amber did. and all the family and all the drama around that and all the scrutiny involved in that, they re going through a tremendous amount of emotions and pain right now. and they re dealing with that with grace. and they re continuing to do their job. and when i think of the hospital, i don t think of some corporate entity. i think of nurses in scrubs who i ve held while they ve cried because they re working so hard. these are these are heroic people that need our compassion and our support. what s your take we re going to spend some time talking about this over the next 45 minutes or so. what s your take on the idea of a travel ban from west african countries? well, the best way to fight ebola is to go fight it in west africa. is to spend the money and send in the scientists and the teams to eradicate this disease in west africa. the travel ban, i ve asked for information so i can weigh in on that. frankly, i haven t seen all the information yet because i m busy on this. but i want to i want to weigh in with what s going to be necessary to keep our people safe. pleased with the five with the extra screening that covers 94% of the people coming in. but, you know, it is a it s a scary disease. and you re seeing the impact of it here on this city and this county. judge clay jenkins, appreciate your time. keep us posted. thank you. judge clay jenkins there, akin to a county executive here in dallas. after the break, more from dallas on the ebola virus when texas congresswoman johnson weighs in to-o that proposed travel ban. also, former health and human services secretary michael levin and i will talk about expectations of ron klain s role as ebola czar. lots coming up on the reid report. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7 it s just i m a little reluctant to try new things. what s wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah. i do. try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates.

just a short time ago texas governor rick perry changed his opinion on the matter. now says that with the exception of aid workers, president obama should, in fact, implement one. air travel is, in fact, how this disease crosses borders and it s certainly how it got to texas in the first place. based on recent and ongoing developments, i believe it is the right policy to ban air travel from countries that have been hit hardest by the ebola outbreak. congresswoman johnson of texas joins me now. her district includes dallas. congresswoman, thanks for being with me. thanks. let s start with the travel ban. do you support one? not totally. however, let me say, if it is determined to be the safest way to contain this disease, then perhaps i will. rutd now people from west africa can leave and go anywhere in the world and not coming directly to the united states. that would wreck the entire aviation system to have that happen. what i think we need to do is more vigorously question people to make sure that they don t get on a plane. the mistake we made here is this man got on a plane. perhaps not telling the truth or whatever the reason. we need more vigorous question, just as we need at this hospital. if the nurse had questioned this person vigorously, then perhaps it wouldn t have happened in this way. however, we were not prepared for this disease when you say we, do you mean the city of dallas? do you mean texas presbyterian? do you mean the united states? the united states. i think the united states was not really prepared to see this disease in the united states until it happened. whose fault is that? i m not sure it s a fault but we saw ebola spreading in west africa this spring, march. yes. how could we not have been prepared? well, i think that, really, dr. frieden had sent out protocols to every hospital. that was probably the most he could have done except staying on them, follow them, give attention to them. but i m clear the people here did not expect that they would be seeing a case in this country, and certainly not here in dallas. and certainly not at this hospital. a lot of fingers have been pointed, as you know, at texas presbyterian. the hospital has hired a pr firm. what s your take on this hospital? i mean, some folks have said, this could have happened anywhere. if the first case of ebola in the united states had happened at a hospital in ohio or new york, the same would have happened. is that true? i m not sure the same would have happened. i m not sure the same would have happened right here in dallas, but i think that it s only the hospital we depend on for unusual occurrences here is parkland. associated with the medical school. i think they probably would have been a little more careful in questioning. i m not sure there was any hospital other than the hospitals or four hospitals that are already ready and in tune with the extra care would have been prepared otherwise. we just didn t expect it. and that s where we are. that s what got us to where we are. take off your congresswoman hat for just a second. you are a registered nurse as well. yes. as a nurse, the response from the cdc, the response from the nih. how would you rate that? i would rate both responses as top of the lot because top of the lot, really? yes, i really would, because we have a great director. he sent out the information. you had nurses in this hospital, the hospital right behind you putting on two and three gloves because they either didn t know any better or weren t told better. how can you then say it s the hospital s responsibility to carry out the protocols. okay. the protocols were sent out. the hospital probably just did not pay it much attention because they did not have that expectation. at that point, i think they just didn t think about it. i don t think the patient who received the first patient asked vigorous questions to get the information. we don t know what the patient said. he s no longer around. congresswoman johnson, who s represented texas for a long time, thank you. i want to turn to former health and human services director michael levitt. i want to start by playing what president obama said thursday about this ideas of a travel ban. take a look at what he said. i don t have a philosophical objection, necessarily, to a travel ban if that is the thing that s going to keep the american people safe. the problem is in all the discussions i ve had thus far with experts in the field, experts in infectious disease, is that a travel ban is less effective than the measures we are quurntly instituting. . secretary, is a travel ban inevitable at this point? i ve had the same briefings that the president alluded to. there are no experts on this because we ve never done it. but those who have studied it and gained through it, all the ramifications continue to believe there are difficulties with it. now, this is a bit different in that we are dealing with a quite contained, that is to say, isolated number of countries, whereas much of the study that s been done has been done assuming a widespread disease. so i don t know the difference here, but i think what the president said is consistent with what i have heard over the course of many years of studying this. in your opinion, what s the value of an ebola czar? i think an explanation here is useful. there is a federal response plan that has been in place now for several years and that s continually refined and practiced. part of that is the appointment of a federal coordinating officer. now, that s not nearly as as eye-catching as the word czar, but this is part of what typically occurs. now, if the president s appointing someone to oversee a process that s already in place, that might not be productive. but if he s appointing a federal coordinating officer to break through the logjams of a bureaucracy, that s a likely good thing and something that would be part of the plan. it sounds like you re saying that this may be a bit of window dressing as well, some appeasement some appeasement to some folks. does it matter that klain isn t a doctor? does that matter at all? the job of this federal coordinating officer or czar, if you must, is to make certain that when the department of agriculture is being slow on releasing something that fda needs in order to get a particular compound approved, that they can break through those jams. it s to work with congress and do the things so medical officers can pay attention to medical issues. there will be a lot of doctors focused on this with lots of background. cdc is full of people who the world considers to be highly competent. i m sure that mr. klain will be receiving a lot of advice from competent medical people. as czar, we haven t had a working surgeon general in the united states of america for some time, as you know. if congress had confirmed surgeon general by now, do you think the response we ve seen so far might be any different? no. let me shed a little light. the surgeon general of the united states, again, as it s a very good brand. it s a little like saying czar. the reality is the surgeon general is at a third level in the department of health and human services and reports to the assistant secretary of health who reports to the secretary of health. the surgeon general has no emergency staff. they don t have any there really they have a role of communicating information about health, but they re really not a big part of the comprehensive federal response plan. and so i think a lot s been made of this. i personally don t find myself very exercised over it. secretary, really quickly before i let you get out of here. what have we learned, what have you learned so far from the response from this, from the way this has been handled from the beginning until now? i think we can relearn that anything that is said about preparation for a pandemic before it starts seems alarmist. anything that s done before it starts, after it starts, seems inadequate. there s a lot of preparation over the course of the last four or five years that have been going into this, but we as a public ignored this. we just didn t think about it much until it became a big crisis. now we re thinking about it a lot. and we ought to be using this as a moment to ask ourselves, how well prepared are we, not just for ebola but for any kind of a natural disaster? because the same things we do to prepare for a hurricane or for an earthquake or a bioterrorism event are the things that we need to do. and i just add one other thing. state and local preparedness is a very important part that s not being talked about. the federal government cannot respond everywhere if this disease becomes more widespread. and local governments and state governments need to be thinking and leaning towaforward now so they re not caught unprepared. secretary michael levitt, i own joyed your insight. have a good weekend. thank you. it is almost the end of hurricane season. no nonetheless, we are tracking not one but two big storms in the atlantic and pacific. we ll bring thaw update in a few minutes. jooishgsz . welcome back on this friday. we continue to follow the latest developments with ebola here in dallas. first, though, let s get you updated up to date on the two major storms causing problems on both sides of the country today. in the atlantic, hurricane gonzalo is expected to make landfall in bermuda within hours. expected to bring widespread damage and power outage to residents of the tiny british territory have been told to seek higher ground because of a potential life-threatening storm surge. schools and the international airport have also been closed there. nbc meteorologist dylan dreier has the latest from bermuda. reporter: we are on the western edge of bermuda and we re expecting the storm to pass to our west by 20 to 50 miles. the surf is already starting to get roughed up as this storm gets closer. for the first time we ve began to notice the winds start to increase a little bit here. now, we are looking at some natural defenses. you know, we are a small little speck here in the atlantic but bermuda actually has a reef that surrounds it that is going to cut back the storm surge we so often see in these major hurricanes. we re also high up in elevation, so while there will no doubt be some coastal flooding, inland areas aren t going to see that flooding that you see on the roadways. so, that will protect it. however, we ll also notice very strong wind gusts. and any height in elevation will actually increase those gusts. so, we are going to see 115-mile-an-hour winds sustained for a long period of time this afternoon. the height of the storm is expected from about 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and it s in that time where we will most likely see most of our damage. from the people we ve spoken with, they say they are going to hunker down with their families, stay indoors, naturally, and they are going to pray that this storm doesn t hit as hard as it certainly looks like it s going to. so, we ll see how this all plays out. dylan dreyer for us in bermuda, thank you. in the pacific we re also keeping an eye on tropical storm ana, churning toward hawaii. the big island is under a tropical storm watch. schools are closed there today as well. ana could strengthen to a hurricane later tonight, but the storm is expected to gradually weaken as it passes south of the big island tomorrow morning. coming up, we continue our coverage of ebola with an update on the fiancee of thomas eric duncan as she and her family prepare to come out of their quarantine this weekend. t?

reporter: hey there, craig. as far as why nina pham s condition has gone from good to fair, we did not get any real answer on that from the he cited privacy rights for patients. there is some indication her long-distance plane ride could be one of the reasons. also, this is nih, one of the premiere hospitals in the country, so the medical professionals here may have noticed something that perhaps those doctors in texas did not. all that being said, though, nina pham has a team of 20 nurses who are dedicated to her. she has two nurses in the room at any given time. we re told she s interacting with staff, having a good face about all these types of things. it can t be easy. dr. fauci called her very brave. she has a few creature comforts, including her ipad. she s resting comfortably and doing the best she possibly can. one of four biocontainment units in the hospital specifically created to deal with diseases like of that ebola. so, she could not be in better hands than those here at nih. now, as far as when she will get out of here, that remains to be determined. the doctor said it is their goal at nih for nina pham to walk out of here under her own condition at some point, but that will only happen when she has rid herself of the virus, rid herself of the disease and is fully back to normal. while it s very difficult to have ebola, craig, she seems to have the best wits about her. and from what we ve learned from these doctors, they expect her to make a full recovery eventually. it s a tough process moving forward as we saw with the other patients. luke russert for us outside nih in bethesda. thank you. meanwhile, we are learning more about nina pham s colleague, amber vinson, who may have been showing symptoms a little earlier than originally believed. as a result, the cdc is now adding hundreds of names to its list of people potentially exposed to her. nbc s gabe gutierrez outside the hospital where amber is being treated. what more can you tell us about the timeline of when ms. vinson may have had symptoms and when she traveled. reporter: hi, craig. we are learning more from the cdc about when her symptoms began. they say they can t rule out she may have gotten sick on october 10th, when she first flew from dallas to ohio to plan her upcoming we hadding with her family. what they do say now, according to the cdc official on the ground in ohio, is that she felt funny but didn t show any specific symptoms at the time. so, that s why they re looking into it. again, they say she didn t show any symptoms when she went to this bridal shop in ohio over the weekend. out of an abundance of precaution, that bridal shop shut down out of an abundance of caution. and authorities have identified 60 people she came into contact with and they re monitoring them very closely. although, again, they are not sick. again, they re trying to track down some of the airline passengers that may have flown with her on that first flight from texas to ohio. she did call the cdc on monday, self-reported that fever, which was underneath the risk threshold, so the cdc is also revising those travel guidelines, craig. back to you. gabe route rez in atlanta for us. thank you. three thing you need to know. florida man convicted of first hooifr degree murder for shooting a teenager to death was sentenced to life without parole today. michael dunn was found guilty of killing jordin davis after he shot into an suv ten times. this was the second trial for dunn. the first one was declared a mistrial. nbc news has confirmed the vice president s son, hunter biden, was dismissed from the navy reserve back in february after he tested positive for cocaine last year. bind released a statement last night saying, quote, it was the honor of my life to serve in the u.s. navy and i deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge. and arizona is now the 31st state in america to allow same-sex marriage. a federal judge overturned that ban stating it was unconstitutional. i lost my sight in afghanistan, but it doesn t hold me back. i go through periods where it s hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. non-24 is a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70% of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. great. this is the last thing i need.

correct. have we made any progress in terms of finding her a place to live? we re working feverishly to that end. it s complicated by the fact that it s difficult not only to identify the place where she s going to live and the and establishing the criteria she needs and for the long term, afford anlt and those sorts of things, and also there s going to be a gap probably. we ll probably not be able to move directly into the place she s going to be for the long term, so there will be a transition period. i know you just visited with her about two hours ago. how is she doing? not just physically, emotionally, spiritually? i think she s a little ragged right now, to be candid. i think, you know, she she s very frustrated by the circumstances. she s very tired. she doesn t have a clear path of what s happening next yet. she has to trust government agencies. people in the church and in the community generally. and all of this while she spent nearly three weeks in quarantine, not being able to touch another human being, not being able to grieve and mourn with her family over the loss of this man who would be her husband. there s just so many things at once. i think she s doing as well as any human being. in addition to the apology, is the hospital stepping up to help her? there s no indication at this time. does that frustrate her? it would frustrate anyone in that situation. let s be sympathetic to the hospital to this end and say, this is an unprecedented situation. they understand that they are dealing with many things on many fronts at one time. the first important human thing they did was to call and make the apology. i think it was delayed too long. but i m sure that they are looking out for all sorts of interest at this point. my hope is they ll get around to thinking about what would be the appropriate thing for them to do. quickly, before i let you go. this little boy who is now going to grow up without his father. how is he doing? first, he s not a little boy, he s is the years old. he s in college and he s a man. he acts like a man. he is behaving like a man. he s a person of great faith as well and he s been with people who love him and care for him very much. so, i have very little knowledge of what he s thinking or feeling because i don t represent him, they do. everything i ve seen and heard from him, he s an extraordinary person. he s an american citizen, as she is and he s going to get back to his life and try to live it well. thank you. thank you for your time. you bet. we will be right back. he ter. are all the green lights you?

you don t live here. what are you doing? so you can t eat here. chill, sam. let the man got this. got this. earlier this week, joyce sat down joy sat down with the man behind the film. justin is the writer, director and producer of the film dear white people. first of all, congratulations. really great film. thank you so much. this follows a group of black sdpunts a group of white students at an ivy colleague college trying to find their racial identity. now, my kids are going to be very jealous because i got to talk to the guy who had everybody hates chris star tyler williams in the film. how did you go about how did you come up with the idea? the idea just came from it started in my college experiences. kind of came out of the conversations i was having with all of my friends on this mostly white campus about, you know, finding sort of groups of people that kind of relate to you but sort of toggling up and down different aspects of our identities for different groups of people. just that kind of conversation about, you know, being a black face in a white place. which has always been my black experience. that s really where it started. also, wanting to kind much, you know, make a throwback film, like the ones that like to do the right thing and hollywood shuffle school days. and you are already getting some comparisons. this film has already gotten some positive buzz on it. nelson george has talked about it. a distinguished contemporary sensibility. post-black but very much 21st century as it tries to update and expand notions of black identity. that s heady praise. any of us who went to a predominantly white college can identify with each of these characters in a way. sam, the biracial, not to give it all away, but the biracial young woman trying to find and have this fierce black identity. you ve got lionel, who is this sort of out of place awkward dude. didn t fit in in a black high sxool and now in another school. who did you most relate to as these characters? wow. you know i had to ask. you know, they re all me, to be honest with you, but in college i definitely entered i entered college more of a lionel and i left more of aisam. a little more sure of myself. a little more slightly more militant. and i love the way you played with all the different interactions of black identity. that s one thing african-american audiences crave. you see these different aspects of the black experience that don t always match up. not everybody that was black in the film is on the same page. is that deliberate? absolutely deliberate. a lot of times we get caught up in this argument of, you know, what s black and not black? it s oftentimes a conversation that s not really being asked from other black people. it s sort of, you know, it s out there in the culture that black people are always a certain way. and i think this film, you know, does a few things but i think one of the things i wanted to do was get into the complexity of the experience. and presented us as human beings in the struggle like everybody else. i feel like i need toure at this moment to talk about this post-blackness. the other thing that s fascinating about the film is the way the black and white characters interact. have you white characters being assertive pushing back about political correctness and the black people see but mainstream media doesn t portray. the movies i referenced before, different people with different points of view, for every point there s a counterpoint. i wanted the film to feel like a conversation, you know. i think if i had all the answers, the movie wouldn t even need to be made. so it s really it s- i wanted to create, you know, the sati satirecal world. the audience can be asking these questions. you played with things like color consciousness and you sort of cast it in an interesting way, the characters who have these sort of weird relationships to wanting to be less black or more black. you discovered a lot of great talent in this film. yes, tyler james white but a lot of new faces. how did you go about putting together this ensemble? we had a fascinating casting director. it was an embarrassment of riches. people responded to the screenplay. i got to see a lot of great people for the role and place people together. and the cool thing about this cast is that, you know, i spent a lot of time writing the screenplay. i was intimately aware of how i saw the characters, but everyone in their roles brought something completely new as well. they sort of realized these parts the way i wrote them, but also gave me something new and i felt like, oh, who wrote that? that s the best feeling. the film is called dear white people, how have white audiences responded to it? really positively. i think part of also on my agenda, i guess, of things to do as a filmmaker make it so every man can be the every man. as a film lover and person of color, you know, i m sort of forced to see myself in movies that people don t look anything like me. what s really cool, you know, audiences of mostly white people, mixed audiences, whatever, they re able to see themselves in these characters and able to sort of engage in this conversation because when you re laughing, it s a safe space to talk about these things. so, it s been really great. the response has been amazing. justin, i don t expect anyone to listen to a film review from me, but i highly recommend this film. you ll love it. i expect to see a lot more from you. look out, spike. very good film. thank you. thank you, sir. and that is going to wrap up things for me. this was the friday edition of the reid report. joy reid will be back next week, 2 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. visit us online, thereidreport@msnbc.com. the cycle is up next. 24/7 it s just i m a little reluctant to try new things. what s wrong with trying new things?

it is thursday, october 16th, 2014. this is the daily rundown. the fight against ebola in this country is intensifying. here in dallas, the second nurse to test positive for ebola from human to human contact is waking up in an atlanta hospital. she walked both on to and off the medical flight and into a waiting ambulance last night. she s the one in the yellow there, wearing that hazmat suit. she walked from that ambulance into the isolation unit at emory hospital. just days after duncan s death, vinson flew from dallas to cleveland to visit her family and fiance in the akron area to plan an upcoming wedding. monday, she boarded a frontier airlines flight with 132 passengers on board for the flight back to dallas. even though she had a temperature of 99.5. the head of the cdc said vinson should have never been on that flight. we will, from this moment forward, ensure that no other individual who is being monitored for exposure undergoes travel. in an exclusive interview with nbc news, a nurse at texas health presbyterian hospital said the hospital did not properly prepare the staff to handle ebola. and she expressed concern about a gap in her protective suit. in fact, i ll just be honest, i threw a fit. i just i just couldn t believe it, you know, and the second week of an ebola crisis at my hospital, the only gear they re offering us at that time and up until that time is gear that is allowing our necks to be uncovered. now, responding to earlier similar accusations by a nurse s union, released a statement that says, our hospital followed the cdc guidelines and sought additional guidance and clarity. in just a few hours, the head of the cdc will testify on capitol hill along with the head of the nih and the top official from texas health presbyterian. the doctor plans to tell congress, quote, unfortunately, in our initial treatment of mr. duncan, despite our best intentions and a highly skilled medical team, we made mistakes. we did not correctly diagnose his symptoms as those of ebola. we are deeply sorry. president obama canceled all travel plans yesterday. he trcanceled all travel plans today as well to meet with advisers to talk about the response to the virus. we re reviewing exactly what we know about what s happened in dallas and how we re going to make sure that something like this is not repeated. and that we are monitoring, supervising, overseeing, in a much more aggressive way exactly what s taking place in dallas initially and making sure that the lessons learned are transmitted to hospitals and clinics all across the country. nbc s gabe gutierrez has the very latest on the situation in atlanta where two americans are being treated for ebola. let s start with the latest on vinson. what can you tell us about her condition? vinson was described as ill but clinically stable. that s what she was described as before she made the trip to atlanta. since she arrived, emory officials aren t saying what her condition is, citing patient privacy. she is at emory, in their isolation unit, one of four such isolation units specialized to treat ebola in the country. you may remember, this isolation unit was the same one that successfully treated dr. kent brantly and nancy rightbol. they are still treating a third unidentified w.h.o. worker who was brought over from sierra leone. that person released a statement yesterday, saying that he planned to be released in the next few days, that he was improving. em emory s isolation unit can hold a maximum of three people in this unit. right now, we re waiting to hear what the condition might be for amber vinson. president obama says he wants the government to take a more aggressive approach to monitoring ebola. he s skipping a political trip. he s staying at the office to oversea the government s respond to the ebola crisis. today, the president was supposed to be included at a speech in rhode island at a fund-raiser. that got canceled as well. nbc s kristen welker joins me live. what exactly is the president going to be doing today at the white house? do we know? we know that president obama will hold meetings today. he s going to follow up on that high-level meeting he had with his cabinet secretaries yesterday, which he did announce a more aggressive response by the u.s. federal government. particularly, he said s.w.a.t. teams will be dispatched within 24 hours of a patient being diagnosed with ebola. he called for better communication with state and local officials. tom frieden will testify, after acknowledging there have been mistakes and missteps. among the questions he will likely need to answer, are hospitals across the country prepared to deal with another case of ebola? does there need to be an ebola czar? something a lot of lawmakers are calling for. does there need to be a travel ban put into effect? the white house has said a travel ban is not necessary. and has also said a czar is not necessary. but undoubtedly, those will be among the topics of conversation on capitol hill today. president obama continuing to say he has confidence in tom frieden and an outbreak in the united states is very unlikely. craig. kristen welker from the white house, thank you. dallas county commissioners are announcing travel restrictions on any health care worker who helped treat duncan before he died of ebola. the tom administrative official here in dallas county is leading the county s response to ebola. let s start with the travel restriction. what does that include? how is it going to be enforced? well, i actually put restrictions on people admit night last night. the commissioners want to give me extraordinary powers. i m appreciative of their support. the governor and i are talking about that today because there are civil liberty issues in that. and if i need those, then i will use them. i m just not sure i m going to be declaring a state of disaster at this point. but i m going to listen to their concerns on the local and state level. we re getting done what we need to do to keep people safe. we will restrict travel of health care workers. these are the workers who came in contact with duncan? that s correct. we re going to restrict the commercial aircraft?it, on on mass transit, commercial aircraft, they can t leave the county. we re also going to these are hometown health care heroes. these aren t people who want to break protocol. they just need to know what the protocols are. we are going to get them some nice living accommodations if they choose to separate from their family during this time here at the hospital. how is this going to be enforced, judge? well, it s enforced, you know, there are laws is this the honor system or someone watching these folks? these folks are being monitored and they re being watched but, again, these are hometown health care heroes. they re not criminals. they re not interested in breaking protocol. amber got on that plane because the protocols weren t given to the hospital to give to her and she had the foresight to call the cdc and they told her it was okay to fly. this is not our health care professional s fault that she got on that plane. you ve been fairly critical of the cdc over the past few days. i m not critical of the cdc. let s stay focused on what we have here. we had a misstep. the cdc was honest about it. we ve had a number of missteps. they ve owned up to that. we ve got to fix the missteps. it s one team, one fight. we ve got to move forward. i don t want to demonize these hometown health care heroes that are afraid they might have ebola and are, you know, dealing with two of their own who have ebola. how real is the possibility that we are going to see at least one, if not more, cases of ebola come out of this hospital? today, tomorrow, next few days? that is a very real possibility. i m preparing my emergency managers and our team for that. i m in regular consultation with the white house and others about that possibility. and the doctors here. and we need to steel ourselves for that. but what people need to understand is these are 75 people who are being closely monitored. if you haven t come into contact with the bodily fluids of eric duncan, you don t have ebola. my understanding is this hospital has the capacity for three ebola patients, is that accurate? that s right. that s why we re sending people to emory and nebraska. that s why vinson was sent? yes, we don t really want to see this hospital have more than one active ebola case at any time. because as we bring cases in, i need those beds open. if we get two, we need to send one. if there is another case here, that person is going to be sent to either emory or nebraska, one of the other hospitals? or nih. we have to contingency levels now. i m putting a third one in today. how would you characterize the level of fear here in the dallas area right now? the people of dallas county are strong people. they re resilient people. 99.5% of them are going on about their daily lives and are in prayerful support for people affected by this. you have a few crazy people everywhere. but by and large, i m proud of the people of dallas county. thank you so much. i know you ve got a lot going on. do appreciate it. judge jenkins, the county executive here in dallas. much more ahead from the ground here in dallas to the airport, stepping up screening today, to capitol hill, where members of congress will address tougher actions to contain ebola. also, we ll turn the politics after the break. hillary clinton s big push for candidate allison grimes. we are hearing a lot of talk about ebola on the campaign trail. first, a look at today s planner. as you just heard from kristen welker, the president will remain at the white house to address the ebola response starting with secretary hagel at 11:00 a.m. you re watching the daily rundown here on msnbc. oats go! wow! go power oats! go! go power! yayyyy! they take us to worlds full of heroes and titans. for respawn, building the best interactive entertainment begins with the cloud. this is titanfall, the first multi-player game built and run on microsoft azure. empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. this cloud turns data into excitement. this is the microsoft cloud. thank you. ordering chinese food is a very predictable experience. i order b14. i get b14. no surprises. buying business internet, on the other hand, can be a roller coaster white knuckle thrill ride. you re promised one speed. but do you consistently get it? you do with comcast business. and often even more. it s reliable. just like kung pao fish. thank you, ping. reliably fast internet starts at $89.95 a month. comcast business. built for business. turning to politics now. is kentucky still clinton country? in 2008, hillary clinton beat then senator obama in the bluegrass state by a whopping 36 points. last night, she was back on behalf of democratic allison grimes, urging voters to, quote, put another crack in the glass ceiling by electing grimes to the senate. both democrats made a pitch to women voters, calling herself a clinton democrat. grimes blasted republican mitch mcconnell. he said why would we trade someone who s been there in d.c.? part of the beltway? for a woman he believes would sit on the back of the bench? as i looked him in the eye, i told him no kentucky woman will ever sit in the back of the bench. i will be heard. personally, i m always a little confused when people in high positions oppose the minimum wage. do you know who holds most of those minimum wage jobs? women. and many of those women are single moms. a lot of them are working two, three jobs just to keep their families afloat. don t you think they need a little understanding and support? don t you think they deserve a senator who will fight to give them the help they need? don t you think that would be allison? msnbc correspondent kacie hunt is live in louisville, kentucky, this morning. kacie, they ve known grimes since she was 14 years old. good friends with her dad. last night, hillary clinton was there. how much can all of this help allison grimes in kentucky? well, she s hoping it can help her a lot. as we sort of discussed here, grimes, more than anything, wants to be viewed as a clinton democrat and not as an obama democrat. the landscape here is tough for allison grimes. the campaign committee isn t up on the air any more. that sends the message they re more focused on other states that they don t necessarily think they can win here. although they are investing in the ground game. if grimes is going to pull this out, she has to distance herself as much as possible from what s going on right now and hillary clinton helps her do that. grimes is not the only one reaching out to women. women should vote for him because he helped expel the senator back in the 90s, for folks who remember that. what were your takeaways from that? held an event appealing to women in london, kentucky. i was struck by his pitch. he said, you should vote for me because i pushed to expel packwood, who was accused of harassing ten women in the 90s. he said when sexual behavior wasn t seen as a huge proshgs i acted on it. democrats will say mcconnell silenced them over packwood. there s a little dispute over the history. i asked mcconnell whether he would extend that criticism to bill clinton who ran into his own troubles in the 90s. mcconnell wouldn t go that far. he said i don t have any particular comments about clinton s behavior. interesting last night to hear hillary clinton go after mitch mcconnell to go after health care specifically. what was all that about? yes. in some ways, hillary clinton was fine-tuning potentially a national message. she went after mcconnell specifically on the exchange website that was built as part of the affordable care act, as part of obamacare. he sort of tried to have it both ways a little bit. he said obamacare should be repealed. hillary clinton went after him for that. all right, kacie hunt on the ground for us in louisville, thank you. a year ago, we expected health care to be the key issue in this campaign. now in the final day, it is taking center stage, but not in the way that pundits predicted. candidates are wielding the threat of ebola on the trail to score political points. it came up in kansas last night. with three-term republican senator pat roberts and independent greg orman clashed in their debate, trading blows on immigration, abortion and the ebola crisis. roberts called for a travel ban. the ebola epidemic, along with isis, shows you how we should really secure the border and not be granting amnesty. we should suspend air travel with west africa. for the time being. until the crisis is contained. this goes back to sort of a crisis in leadership. senator roberts has come back and made strong statements about ebola. it came out the other day when he was in washington last month, he skipped a hearing on the ebola virus. we have a crisis of leadership all right with regard to this whole situation. i think the administration, especially the president, again, has been two steps behind and asleep at the wheel. meanwhile, in colorado, swapped charges in their final debate. this is a difference between congressman garner and me. he s voted to cut cdc spending. we re not going to beat ebola by cutting back the cdc. we ought to listen to the health care professionalings. if they believe we ought to close our board borders, let s listen to them. senators and congressmen shouldn t be making those decisions. we need an immediate travel ban going into effect now. not tomorrow but now. look, we lack a strategy to deal with the ebola virus. i think that s been very clear in the news. that s unacceptable. garner takes a rare break from the trail today to participate in a house hearing on ebola in washington. republican candidates from georgia, david perdue, would called it competence at the highest levels. brown said it s the latest example of how the white house is putting us all at risk. to ernst calling for travel restrictions or a total travel ban from the west african countries who have been hit hard by ebola. to new hampshire s scott brown, linking ebola to immigration and the border. that s one of the reasons why i have been so adamant about closing our border. because if people are coming in from normal channels, can you imagine what they can do through our porous border? even former presidential candidate mitt romney stumping for brown in new hampshire yesterday, even he got into the ebola politics game. why hasn t the president addressed what we can do to keep our nation safe? why hasn t he talked about closing the borders with those countries who have extensive ebola spreading across their population? nbc political editor mark murray joins me. it s the politics of fear. it s irresponsible. but will it work? we ve seen the politics of fear work in the past. in 2002, right after the 9/11 attacks, that was a dominant story. republicans were able to capitalize right after 9/11. 2004, presidential election was largely fought on the politics of fear. and this honestly is terrain where the republican party s a lot more comfortable in having debates with the democratic party. particularly when the democrats were in control of the administration. they re in control of handling. i mean, you make the very good point that often engaging in the politics of fear is irresponsible and of course the message coming from ebola, isis, border, is one that s coming from republicans right now. but to score quick political points when there is so much engagement from the public on ebola right now. our nbc/ wall street journal poll shows it s 97% of america has been following this story. that is something you can t exploit. mark, i want to turn to something else now. we ve dubbed it fan gate already. six very awkward minutes last night. down in florida. take a look at what happened. ladies and gentlemen, we have an extremely peculiar situation now. we have governor charlie crist. governor rick scott. we have been told that governor scott will not be participating in this debate. somehow, there is a fan there. and for that reason, ladies and gentlemen, i am being told that governor scott will not join us for this debate. [ crowd booing ] the shot of the fan really makes it. it was like an snl skit, mark murray. it was one of the craziest moments we ve ever seen in debates. of course, debates often have a lot of negotiating points on ways to be allowed. can notes be there? how many seconds do you have for rebuttal, et cetera? even as somebody violates it, you keep on going through. this is a big problem for rick scott. because it made him seem like he lost his cool, that charlie crist was using a fan, that he didn t come out. rick scott campaign pointed out that they were confused. that they didn t deliberately try not to get on the debate stage. but the perception is very damaging to rick scott. it s worth pointing out the debates have been a very interesting issue in florida in the past and this was a very big issue last night. mark murray, thank you. up next, lawmakers are calling for tougher action to contain ebola, including travel bans on west africa. republican congressman tim mi y murphy will join me live ahead of the congressional hearing he will be leading today. we ll also learning more about the nurses from the cleveland clinic. also from metro health medical center among those on the frontier airlines flight with amber vinson. a press briefing will start just moments from now in cleveland. that and much, much more when tdr comes back in three minutes. to help entertain some friends at the beach. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time. and 2% back at the grocery store. even before he got 3% back on gas. all with no hoops to jump through. rafael was inspired to use his bankamericard cash rewards credit card to spend a night watching the stars, under the stars. that s the beauty of rewarding connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night,nd. and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. don t let non-24 get in the way of your pursuit of happiness. i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me. zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. great. this is the last thing i need.

why are we seeing these big swings in the market, what s behind it? what s interesting about what s happening, it s a confluence. a convergence, if you will, of so many different factors. you ve got concerns about the economy not just here in the u.s. but all over the world, especially in europe. there are still concerns about the economy in places like china and other places in asia. then you ve got earnings season kicking off this time around. we just want to know whether or not companies can make the kinds of profits they want. all of those things are helping to contribute to the volatility. dow s down about 10% now since september. is this a sign we are in for a major downturn? here s a look at the markets. all of the indices pointing south. if you look at the way the markets are working right now, we haven t had any kind of a 10% pullback or greater since 2011. that was the last time we saw it. back then, we had things like the budget impasse. we were worried about the sequester. we were worried about the u.s. credit rating being downgraded. all of those things contributed to that decline. so a lot of traders say we were overdue for a pullback of this size. what s more disconcerting this time around is the idea that we haven t seen these huge, you know, triple digit swings on multiple days during the rest of the market top. so a lot of traders are saying this might be one of those battlegrounds where we could be due for an even bigger pullback to the downside. stocks have opened lower. dominic chu from cnbc. thank you. from the economy to politics now. as ebola fears spread, lawmakers all over the country are chiming in. some want the administration to take tougher action. like imposing travel bans on countries in west africa. speak boehner said it should be strongly considered. senator john thune, bill shoester, say a bill is timely. even democratic senator bill nelson pushed for a ban, calling the situation a matter of national security. against that backdrop, house lawmakers are convening the latest hearing to focus on the ebola outbreak. it will take place this afternoon. in prepared testimony from cdc director tom frieden, he will insist this outbreak can and will be stopped. dr. fauci from the nih will tell congress that two ebola vaccines are headed for clinical testing. pennsylvania republican congressman tim murphy will be running that hearing. he joins me live now from the hill. congressman, let s just start with your thoughts, your personal thoughts, on the travel ban. how far would that go to help? i think it would be very helpful to have a travel ban, for people coming from the hot zones in western africa. we also have to recognize that u.s. citizens have a right to come back ton the united states. but upon their return, i do not want to just rely upon a quick fever screen or a quick question from people from customs. i believe such persons should undergo some travel restriction, perhaps quarantine. the issue is in convenience. the alternative is deadly virus spread. i think we should err on the side of inconvenience. do you feel that tom frieden, the head of the cdc, that frieden and other officials have been forthcoming, have been as forthcoming as they need to be about this country s level preparedness? well, i think there was some missteps made and assumptions of our country s level of preparedness and assumptions can get you in a lot of trouble, especially when they re false assumpti assumptions. they did not have the right clinical garb and gown to wear. other hospitals may not have that levelle. they re improving that now. we only have a couple centers in this country which are capable of handling this high level of a virus, deadly virus. there s a lot in flux here and growing. i believe dr. frieden is telling us, based upon his assumptions to go through, but those have to be modified. one of the issues i understand you re going to raise during the hearing is whether the fda can make experimental ebola treatments available on an emergency basis, is that right? yes. there are standard guidelines the fda has in terms of human clinical trials. this is not something we can wait two or three years for. if there are some things that have some promise to it, we could be working on vaccines, working on other elements. there s no cure for this disease. there s treatments in terms of giving people fluids and electrolytes. when you have a 70% mortality rate with this virus, we have to advance this much quicker. asking the fda to advance these quicker is going to be part of our concern. you also raised some concerns recently, i understand, about our troops who are in west africa right now. fighting ebola on the front lines. what do we know about the precautions that are being taken to protect our service members? that s precisely the question we want to ask. some service members, even though they re not in direct contact with ebola patients, for example, building some clinics and some other treatment areas. we have to nonetheless decide what happens if they are exposed. what happens if our military does develop symptoms of ebola. we do not have the capability currently of bringing more than one or two people at a time with a multiday turnaround. that is not going to be sufficient if a number of our service members do contract ebola. so we have to make sure that the military s better prepared at handling this and that s going to be some of our questions today as well. congressman murphy who is going to be running that ebola hearing this afternoon. congressman, thank you. a news conference has just started in cleveland where we are expecting to learn a little bit more about the nurses who were aboard that frontier airlines flight. let s listen in. she is the chair of the infection control committee here at metro health. she will take your questions one at a time. good morning. any questions? because people, you know, they hear that someone with ebola was up in this region. and people have i think different tendencies whether to shut down or stay at home, i m going to keep my kid home from school. want schools shut down. put this into context for people who are not sure what to think. i think it s understandable that people have anxiety. i also really want to make it clear that it s a point in time that there is no reason for concern. so ebola is not that easily transmissible. you have to have direct contact with somebody who s sick or with their bodily fluids. so it s not something that s going to be spread just by going through the airport, where that person was, or on the same airplane really isn t enough for it to spread. it s not airborne. a lot of the steps that are being taken are because we know that people are really concerned and worried. it s really to try to decrease some of the worry and fear. right now, the message that people in cleveland and surrounding areas should know that they re safe and that they really have no reason to be concerned at this point in time. so we ve been listening in to this news conference. in cleveland. 13 nurses were on that october 10 flight from dallas to cleveland with amber vinson. who went to northeast ohio to see family outside of akron, we re told. she s in the process planning a wedding. she returns to dallas on another frontier airlines flight. hospitalized the following morning with a fever. that news conference that s ongoing right now, five cleveland clinic nurses were aboard that flight. a total of eight metro health nurses also on that flight. the cleveland clinic nurses are going to remain on leave for 21 days. they re going to remain on leave for 21 days, paid leave. they re going to be self-monitoring, we re told. we re going to continue to watch this news conference. we ll take a quick break on the daily rundown. we ll be right back. turn the trips you have to take, into one you ll never forget. earn triple points when you book with the expedia app. expedia plus rewards. honey, we need to talk. we do?

it s just that i m worried about you know hidden things. ok, why s that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. today, four of the country s busiest airports will start screening passengers arriving from ebola-infected countries. nbc s tom costello join us from dulles outside washington, d.c. in virginia there. any idea at this point how it s going so far? here s the plan. we re going to see screenings picked up today here at washington dulles, at chicago o hare, at newark, as well as atlanta. you combine those four with jfk airport in new york. you ve got the five airports that handle about 95% of people coming from west africa. some coming directly. some others coming through other cities like brussels, for example, in europe, and then transiting into a major airport like this. customs and border patrol is working with the cdc and also with the coast guard. those personnel will be on duty at these airports. they will bring aside anybody who is coming from west africa, check their temperatures, give them a questionnaire, ask about their health, ask about their travel history. do any know anybody who s had ebola? have they been exposed to ebola? have they had any sickness at all over the course of the last week or so. then, if they re clear, if they don t have any symptoms, they ll be allowed to move on. they ll be told, listen, if you develop any systmptom, contact e cdc immediately. if anybody is showing symptoms, or become sick in flight, or whatever, they will be pulled over by the personnel and quarantined. at that point, the state health department brought in. the hope is they can keep anybody coming from west africa and who might have an ebola contagion, keep them from coming to the u.s. but as you know, this is fraught with political upheaval right now. people calling for, on both the right and the left, calling for a travel ban on people coming from west africa. really quickly, there continues to be a bit of confusion over the cdc s do not board list. this do not board list. what more can you tell us about the existence of this list and whether we know anyone who s on the list now. yeah, this is similar to the homeland security s watch list. there is a list the cdc has kept for the better part of ten years. essentially, a list of individuals who might pose a risk to the public health should they board an aircraft. it is enforced by the tsa and customs and border patrol. they can prohibit somebody from flying if they re aware that somebody is a potential risk. they have to know the person s name, the dob, a whole variety of pieces of information to put them on that list. if they were aware that somebody of a special name is traveling from west africa who had ebola and he somehow had gotten through the screening in west africa, they might put him on that list and stop him from ever coming into the country. this is something, though, you ll see this expansion of this program as they try to figure out how to enforce it more rigorously. tom costello from dulles for us this morning, thanks, as always, sir. from that big story to this one. the fight against isis. u.s. air power is helping the kurds hold on to kobani. air strikes have hit isis targets around the city nearly 40 times since monday night. the united states said hundreds of isis fighters have been killed. and kurdish fighters say that s helped them regain some territory there. the pentagon s john kirby said wednesday that kobani could still fall. meanwhile, over in iraq, militants appeared to be gaining momentum there. ahead of the international anti-isis coalition, general john allen says the group has made, quote, substantial gains in iraq, especially in the anbar province. nonetheless, u.s. officials say their plans are not changing. the strategy s still sound. but you don t judge the success of a strategy based on a day or a week or even several weeks. we are we believe and we ve said it before that we re in this we all need to be in this for a matter of years. our guest is the director of the research program at the washington institute for near east policy. the author of the book the rise of turkey. good to see you again, thank you for being with me. how would you judge this strategy against isis so far? i think it s a strategy where the united states is really trying to get in more turkish buy-in. the turks are hesitant. they see isis as a threat. they really would like to see every policy step they re taking in syria serve their ultimate goal, which is ousting the assad regime. they wanted an american commitment to see boots on the ground. that s not happening. now they re going for other buy-ins, which they want to see u.s. support for safe havens in northern syria that would protect civilians in rebel-held areas so that could ultimately undermine the assad regime, then bring the turks in as a counterpart in the fight against isis. short of that, i think what washington is doing right now is increasing air strikes to not allow the kurdish enclave to fall. this enclave, kobani, strategically is not important but it has a humanitarian element. their misery is in front of our eyes because this town is on the border with turkey where there are a lot of international media. it would be embarrassing for the united states to let this enclove fall, as well as the turks. they re actually turning back into baghdad because they re realizing they re losing in syria so they want to make gains in iraq. but it seems turkey s going back in forth. then it seemed like turkey would grant the u.s. access to an air base. now it says there s no deal. what s going on? why the back and forth? that s correct. the turks are playing a game of brinksmanship. they are trying to increase the stakes. they want to help but they don t want to commit, obviously, before they see a comprehensive plan to undermine the assad regime which is their primary objective in syria. i think what we re going to see is turkish/u.s. cooperation behind the scenes but on the public side you re going to see some sort of hesitation on behalf of the turks until they get a more stronger u.s. commitment. especially because they want such commitment to serve their ultimate goal, so they want to establish safe havens which would protect rebel-held areas and undermine the assad regime. also another game they re playing which is not related to u.s. policy, they re fighting this group called the ppk which is considered terrorists in turkey. nevertheless, they don t want the ppk to emerge from this conflict strengthened. the ppk has control over this enclave, this town, kobani, that s under attack by isis, so i think the turks actually want the group to weakened. they want the group to come to turkey for assistance,ing begg for assistance so the turks can dictate their own terms in the ongoing peace talks. that s a game united states doesn t want to get involved. i think the u.s. has so far listened to turkish sensitivit sensitivities on this issue. thank you. up next, i m joined by an official on the front lines of the ebola response. why you might see so many friends and co-workers wearing purple today, that s because it s spirit day, a day to show support for lbgt youth and take a stand against bullying as well. thomas roberts will host a twitter chad with glaad president and ceo sarah kate ellis. join in with #spiritday. there it is on your screen. we ll be right back. for over.

probably so because you remember what he said to you, there is more capacity here but he believes it really should be only one patient with ebola treated here at one time. he believes that is sort of what would be the most how do i say this? the best use of their resources would be to have one ebola patient here and not more than that. now, this raises a big question, craig, because we ve done the math and looked at how many places in the united states can actually handle ebola? how many paces are equipped. we have emory university in atlanta, there are two patients there already. they can handle one more, nebraska, they can handle two, they could handle one more. and nih in bethesda, maryland, could take two, missoula, montana could handle two. they are handled with the most specialized care, an ebola patient. the cdc would tell you every hospital in the country is preparing to handle the ebola patients. so every hospital should have some ability. but as we know from the experience, a lot of things fell through the cracks it could appear. and there continues to be this back and forth between the nurse s union here in dallas and the hospital itself, nurses, the union saying the nurses were not essentially prepared when thomas duncan arrived. is this something we ll continue to see play out in the next for days? it is interesting, today a nurse on the today show with matt lauer are actually one of the 75 people being monitored right now who had direct contact with the patient eric thomas duncan. she spoke out with really dramatic charges saying things were not handled well at well at the hospital, the hospital we should note refuted that, saying we had all the right protective gear. but this is the first time a hospital has dealt with the case of somebody walking in with ebola, and we re seeing it happen in realtime. kate snow, thank you so much. that will do it for us. developments already on the ebola congressional hearings under way. the political world buzzing over that fan moment down in south florida. one reporter who was in the room will join jose on set in miami. jose diaz next. but when we start worrying about tomorrow, we miss out on what matters today. at axa, we offer advice and help you break down your retirement goals into small, manageable steps. because when you plan for tomorrow, it helps you live for today. can we help you take a small step?

speaking on cbs 60 minutes president obamaing a knowledgeing what the u.s. intelligence has said that the government absolutely underestimated isis. they were able to reconstitute themselves and take advantage of that chaos and attract foreign fighters who believed in their jihadist nonsense and traveled everywhere from europe to the united states to australia to poorts of the muslim world converging on syria. reporter: while the u.s. and arab allies continued hitting isis from the air, isis sill managed an ad vans in syria near the turkish border. yet, turkey is still not a military partner in this fight. some european countries have joined coalition but won t touch syria. the u.s. is still leading this. that s always the case, america leads. we are the indisspenceable nation. we have capacity no one else has. our military is the best in the history of the world and when trouble comes up anywhere in the world, they don t call beijing, they don t call moscow. they call us. that s how we roll. and that s what makes this america. reporter: how do americans feel about this? a new poll this morning shows 73% approve the airstrikes about the same amount feel the u.s. will likely have to send ground troops and fewer, 61%, are confident the u.s. will succeed in its goal of degrading and destroying isis. bipartisan support for the mission but now bipartisan concern, what it will look like, whether congress should have debated and voted on the plan, whether u.s. boots will end up on that volatile ground if no one else steps up. we have no choice. these are bar barrians. they intend to kill us. if we don t destroy them first, we re going to pay the price. reporter: those poll numbers are interesting, it shows more americans now than just a few weeks ago approve of how things are going in this country and how the president is handling isis, but those numbers are still quite low and more than half of americans, 51%, say they don t trust him as commander in chief. chris. interesting numbers. it s still very early. who would have thought this close to the mid-term election we d be talking about a foreign battle and not obamacare or immigration. thank you for reporting this morning. for the first time the pentagon says it hit targets under seenl bysiege by isis. let s bring from our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. we hear the kurds are asking for more effective airstrikes. reporter: they are, indeed, mikaela. good morning. we did see one u.s. coalition airstrike over the weekend at a place called kobani. remember that name. our own cnn crews have witnessed so much of the fighting. that is one of the airstrikes over the weekend. there were a number of others in syria, other isis installations. but it s raising the question about what is going on in northern syria along the turkish border and why the u.s. has only had really one strike there so far. what u.s. officials are telling me is their mission in syria is to degrade and destroy isis, not to defend the syrian kurds at this point. that is not a u.s. mission. if they were doing it without thorks it would be called mission creep, essentially. so not yet, at least. the defense secretary chuck hagel has said they are looking at the situation along that turkish border where the certain kurds are struggling to fight against isis, tho talking to coalition partners. were, this is right up against the turkish border, a nato allie. turkey not in the fight yet, but there is some talk about the turkish government about what their next steps may be and everyone is watching to see what the u.s. may do next. this is really shaping up to be an air campaign where the u.s. is striking in a number of areas trying to put isis back on its heels. very clearly, it will take a long time. even the pittsburgh saying airstrikes alone will never be enough. delicate, yet important work. we know how vital those airstrikes are. barbara starr. thank you so much. let s give you perspective oak, along syria s border, we turn to our national correspondent in turkey in a village controlled by isis near the border. what can you tell frus where you are? reporter: well, we re on the turkish side but just across the border is a village controlled by isis. that is a village that, in fact, isis managed to take over after those u.s. airstrikes that took place further to the east still close to the town you heard barbara starr talking about earlier. there are only two villages, the kurds here have been begging for more help, failing to understand how it is that kaelths aircraft can be overhead, yet this is allowed to take place. we have been watching all morning, isis drivers driving around motorcycles with complete impunity, bringing in more weaponry. then further to the west from where we are right now, two mortar round landing inside turkey. very close to cameron s cnn has right there in that location. yesterday, mortars landing inside turkey as well. so again, people here asking us over and over again, what is the coalition waiting for? all right. help under the circumstances understand a little more of this village of khobani, the number of civilians there. we know isis has been indiscriminate in their killings. why do they feel so threatened and cornered? reporter: well, they re effectively under siege. isis came barreling through here around ten days ago, taking over dozens of villages and towns. it is predominantly kurdish part of northern syria, sending upwarsd of 200,000 refugees across the border. it s the last town standing in koboni. if koboni falls to isis. that means isis has a direct logistical route to the border with turkey. when it comes to the kurds that have proven to be fairly effective coming to fighting isis and the regime, if kobani falls to isis. that means the territory is also partitioned. thank you again so much for that. chris. we ll turn it over to you. all right, mik, let s physical out why it s going on. with us we are retired colonel colonel and cnn anl analyst and a cnn commentator. gentleman, thank you for being with us. we are getting more dots. this is barely representative of what s going on. in terms of the trending, lt. col. what are we seeing and why? we are trying to focus on the targets we know are there. the problem is, in syria, there is no one on the ground we are working with. we are seeing these operations mentioned up on the turkish border. we can bomb into the vicinity. we can t bomb on the front lines. once you have troops, they re much too close unless you have someone positively controlling those airstrikes. which we don t v. we have that in iraq. we don t have that here. we will discuss the why in a few montz. we see more hits up their in aleppo. remember, this was the origination of u.s. of only strikes against a group khorasan. more there, more refineries. what does that mean? this tells me we hit everything the first time. this was a restrike. tray went back to hit what they didn t get the first time. they decided not enough damage was done with those strikes. let s go back and hit those. the refineries. as we detect these mobile and make-shift labs, they take them out. up here, what s going on up here, sometimes we are fascinated with what s going on because we can actually see i. right. there is nothing about koboni that is particularly important. the idea that, oh, it s right here. they re just about to go into turkey and the kurds are desperate for help. how do we understand that situation? it s a tremendous dilemma for the united states. on the one hand the kurds have been our best allies and potentially if syria as well. on the other hand they re big doging this, turkey the allie we are trying to draw fwloo this fight. which has the ilice and the army that can deal a significant blow to isis is very, very concerned this war with lead to turkish independence, it could mean to succession within turkey. we re trying to balance on the one hand the allies we have the kurds, with not alienateing turkey, whose support we need. these go hand-in-hand the kurds, you said you were going to talk to us, hey, we can t just bomb and there are no coordinated airstrikes. there is no infrastructure. people don t understand how you actually support the ground from the air. what is missing? well, what s missing is someone on the ground laizeing the targets or designating them with smoke. some way to control where the bombs will be dropped. otherwise. once have you troops from contact, you will cause tremendous amounts of friendly casualties, that we don t want. it goes to boots oak. that s what this debate is about. will you put u.s. troops in close contact on the front leans so you can have more effective airstrikes, but that will put them in harm s way. people will say, that can t work. that s what we did in afghanistan some years ago with a northern alliance. that proved very effective there. it was very effective. if you get a handful of special operations troops in there that know how to call in airstrikes, they can be very effective. bus they can leverage all of the ordinances flying around in the sky and put it wage where the bombs ned to go. we can stop this advance. we don t have people there. all right t. big concern is who is there to do it? that s really why turkey is so important. people aren t going to understand the capabilities. how big and powerful is their military? let s look at the turkish armed forces, they are the sixth largest in the world. when you talk about nato, they re second to the united states. the united states is spread out world wide. turkey is the big gorilla. if you stack them up next to na that. the next largest forces are germany, france, the united kingdom. turkey surpasss all three combined. so if they want to roll through, they could t. obvious yes is why not, why haven t we gotten turkey on board the coalition? it s right on their border. shouldn t they care? it s decisive because it s on their border. they are worried about retaliation from isis. they are worried about the kurdish succession movement involved in their own country and over the past couple years, turkey s primary concern has been assad. they have taken a position we should focus on assad first then deal with these jihadist militants. the u.s. is trying to flip that around. the turks are worried, they have been very hostile to assad from the beginning and are worried they could end up strengthen him. they re watching what s going on across the border. they say isis is a threat to us and to baghdad, but isis right now is not are a threat to turkey. it s taking its toll. when they perceive it s a threat to turkey. then they ll act. well, that actually happened. it looks more likely today. you have to give the obama administration some credit. i don t think a few weeks ago, most thought it would be on the verge of a coalition that had shyia iraq, governments like saudi, which are very, very hostile to the muslim brotherhood. remember, turkey supports the brotherhood. there is a deep divide between turkey and saudi arabia over this question about the muslim brother to be able to coalition both shia and sunni and sunni countries pro and anti muslim brotherhood were deeply quite a remarkable accomplishment. what it means oak is a different question. diplomatically, it s pretty impressive. it s early to see what s going on, on the ground is getting much more support from the american people t. polls were saying, however, this is still you have to remember the easy part. all these mix and these machinations you guys are talking about, much hard forward achieve. leiutenant colonel, thank you so much for joining us. so much complexity there. we want to turn now to another situation of tension happening right now, riot police in hong kong remain on guard as protesters pack the streets in a pro-democracy movement. they pack the streets. they remain vocal. even though the riot police have pulled back. organizers are accusing police of using heavy-handed attacks on the crowd. good to have you. give us an idea of what the situation is on the ground. it looks like you are in the midst of those demonstrators. reporter: absolutely, mikaela, look at this sea of humanity these demonstrators who have occupied the main highway that runs through hong kong, through the city, through the financial hub. they have paralyzed traffic during what should be rush hour traffic, people trying to get home from work and all because this overwhelmingly young crowd of demonstrators is demanding more democracy, more freedom. they are standing up, not only to the government here in this former british colony of hong kong, but also standing up through the ruling communist party that governs and controls not only hong kong but also mainland china. and saying they want true free and fair elections in 2017. early this morning, late last night, this crowd was being tear gassed. but they came back and they stayed here. the riot police have pulled back and these kids are saying they won t leave until they get what they ask for. mikaela. all right, ivan. i mean, that sea of humanity as far as your camera can show us, unbelievable. remarkable, another area pushing for democracy and political reform. thank you for being on the ground to give us a sense of what is hang. certainly, a lot going on in the news today as always, christine romans is here with the headlines. good morning, everybody, it is monday. let s

prosecutors are accused of beginning a trial against a man who was beheaded. alton nolan went on a bloody rampage after he was fired from his job. this is such a disturbing tale. it s a very disturbing tale. investigators right now are trying to understand what drew alton nolan to islam and whether he may have been inspired by the terror group isis. whether the attack may have been premed traited. new details are emerging against the man accused of beheading a food worker at an oklahoma food processing plant last week. people that knew him said they were stunned. he was a normal person. reporter: they say 30-year-old alton nolan is going to be charged with first degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon. he went on a night spree after being fired at vaughan foods. police say he recently converted to islam and tried to convert his woe workers. members at his mosque describe him as quiet. you can tell he was different from everyone else. as far as violence, we never saw it coming. reporter: his boss was shot twice and the ceo a reserved deputy with the oklahoma county sheriffs office, shots fired recorded in this 911 call. it sound like he s running around out there. and that s a gunshot. reporter: other disturbing details coming to light, a beheading posted on his facebook page under the alias jah keem. they wonder if it could have been influenced by muslim extremism. my son was raised up in a loving home. reporter: in this video, who women who say they re relatives come to his defense. there s two sides to every story and we re only larrying one. reporter: oklahoma police reveal nolan has a lengthy rap sheet. in 2010 he got into a state trooper in this traffic stop. she made this chilling statement to cnn. if there would have been anyway to know he would have done what he did a couple days ago, i would have killedle him when i had the opportunity. they say alton nolan had aggression issues and had been incarcerated. he appeared to turn his life around. however, it simply didn t happen. it is unclear whether the attack is premed tatd or he was acting out t. women he killed, we have to keep that in mind, 50-year-old colleen herford, her family is groveing her loss. there is another woman recovering from stab wounds. this is very, very serious. this is a crime of opportunity. he simply walked in and attacking the people. they were not targeted. he walked in and began attacking the first people he saw. the second he walked through that door. it s tragic. they will have to make traumatic events, to witness, to be around. it s called horrifying. it is, also i have to think about it. beheading somebody is an intensely personal crime. it s not somebody that can deal with a gun. there is an intimacy to it. so that, too, is problematic. that is a horrifying story to learn details about. thank you for that. all right t. search for more than 20 missing hikers has been suspended in central japan after a deadly volcano

was snowing. people had protective helmets on, we are there is a chance we are told of a larger eruption in this area in the coming days. meanwhile, so much waiting for these families sleeping on

the sox at fenway stadium yesterday afternoon. he showed a lot of class, those red sox fans. they certainly did, chris. i ll not a fan like you, i spread a sports tear watching this. derek jeter taking the field for the final time. be tfr game the red sox showered him with a few more retirement gifts, including a custom made respect fenway placard. in his 2nd at bat of the game, jeter hits this chopper. it s an rbi single. that would be the final hit of jeter s career. he comes out of the game to a standing ovation. the fenway faithful chanting derek jeter then thank you, jeric. j jeter s mom in the fans. you want to be known that someone that had respect for the game, respect for the teammates. respect for the fans, respect for the media, played the game lard, but for me i m happy to be known as a yankee. that s all i wanted to be. i had an opportunity to do that for parts of 20 years. so being remembered as a yankee is good enough for me. the nationals are headed into the post-season. george zimmerman was on his game. striking out ten. one out away from a no-hitter when this ball is going to get shot into left center field. it looked like it was going to drop, but

you got teams like the royals and the pirates trying to get back to the world series for the first time in a long time. you guys are so happy. there is a plethora of sports. hockey is in pre-season, baseball, basketball. the only drag. gus: is of course the jets are playing, which means that there is nothing but misery at this point. they did not look good. andy just said in case you missed it. he was whipping along there, they tore through the saints like me with a binyet on bourbon street. a strong reference. if you go to noernts, it s bad news,en extra ten pounds when i come home. you look good, kid. you look good. thank you very much. we are also going to be talking to you about these protests going on the ferguson, because they re not the only problem anymore. yes. you have to focus on that. there is now a man hunt under way for a gunman who shot a police officer. not the only event recently. is the city about to erupt again? we will take you to it and through it. a new report about a terrifying shooting at the white house. was one of the president s daughters in harm s way? we ll take a look coming up. > . ferguson, missouri must be on your map. yes, more protests overflight some two months after michael brown s death. however, there is something else going on there that matters. the man hunt under way for a gunman that shot a police officer in the arm over the weekend. let s go live. stephanie the obvious question is do they believe there is a connection with michael brown in this? reporter: well, chris, that itself the most noteworthy part of this police don t believe either shooting had anything to do with the protest surrounding mike brown s death. however, it shows tensions are still running very high in this town. anger and distrust of police in ferguson is reaching dangerous new levels after two police officers were shot in separate incidents within hours of each other saturday night. first a ferguson police officer shot while conducting a building check of the ferguson community center. he got out of his cruiser to question a pale subject t. pan ran and the officer gave chase. the suspect then fired shots, hitting the officer in the arm. as angry crowds gathered at the scene, captain ron johnson made this appeal to keep the calm. what i got to say is our police officer s been show. i will ask you to leave. i will only ask you one time. these are our streets. these ain t your streets. these are our streets. reporter: the incident striking a nerve. the city still reeling from weeks of violent unrest from the shooting death of unarmed teen ageer michael brown. is this related to the protest? i don t think it did. it didn t happen in the protest area. this is an area that s fairly secluded and i wouldn t have any reason to believe right now it was linked in anyway, shape, mane or form with the protest. reporter: three hours later, a drive by shooting with an off duty officer, not in uniform, driving his personal vehicle. he passed him on interstate 70 and opened fire t. officer suffered minor injuries and broken glass. police are unsure whether he was targeted or the victim of a random act of violence, no suspects have been caught. i am truly sorry for the loss of your son. i am sorry it took so long to remove michael from the streets. reporter: the shooting comes days after jackson apologized to michael brown s parents and the community hoping for a fresh start in ferguson. what are we going to do to get justice? the whole ferguson the whole city is in an uproar. reporter: jackson, instead, faced enfurated crowds. and, chris, i was out here friday night until 11:00 at night. it seemed to be more journalists than protesters. saturday you saw more people out here. it go es to show the situation here in ferguson is fluid and each fight brings a different story. stephanie, thank you very much. obviously, any connection there will be investigated. no matter whether it s related or not, there are troubles in ferguson that need to be addressed. we will stay on the story. let under the circumstances turn to weather right now. it is the beginning of a new week. what does the forecast hold for us? rain for some folks. it s beautiful in the northeast. if are you in the southeast, thanks, to a stationary front. it rained, it rained. today, a stationary front. still in place out through florida. more showers are expected into the region. concern there for flooding today. flood advisories across the area. we are talking two to four inches of rain, some places six, possibly seven inches of rain locally. that is a concern in a place that has seen so much rain. too much rain, thain i rain they cannot handle. find out went or so, light showers will be in play. they are monitoring that. the big story is a system making its way out of the rockies. all this cool air will bring potential for severe weather headed out towards the rockies. what it will bring for the rest of us is that cool air will start sliding to the east. so much so you are talking about a 30 degree temperature drop, yes, it s the upper mid-west today, that s one day, i will take uday by day, you can actually see the grown, watch this as it makes it through tomorrow. the mid-west sees those temperatures, notice, chicago goes. gus: to the 60s. the concern there is wednesday into thursday. showers can be more delays. delays they do not mean from last friday. that cool air eventually makes its way through the northeast here by the end of the week. it was so nice, with eget one more day of it. because it s officially fall right now. i want to remind people of that. it s officially fall. i want to remind that. canada changed you? it did. as always. thanks, so much. up in concerns this morning about white house security after a disturbing report about a gunman who opened fire back in 2011 putting the president s family at risk. it is leaving them wondering if the secret service is asleep at the wheel. t-mobile s network has more data capacity than verizon or at&t. it s a network designed differently. a network designed data strong. . welcome brack do flu day. details emerge about a 2011 shooting at the white house. the washington post reports that it took secret service four days to realize that seven bullets had hit the upstairs residence of the white house while the president and mother-in-law and daughters were inside. this comes on the heels of several security incidents, including one where an intruder raced inside. if you want to bring in ronald kessler. he is an investigative reporter and author of the detail where he published some of this incident before the washington post. thank you for joining us this morning. my pleasure. in your book, you detail so many events of this incident. i think many of us are wondering how on earth it could have taken the secret service four days to realize that seven shots hit and some entered the white house. and the washington post claimed it as a skoechlt as you say it was in my book and it goes back to a really rotten management culture that is based on arrogance. that is what connects all of these scandals. the management promotes agents who don t point out deficiencies and so the way to get ahead is to cover up. it s just safer. and, therefore, the, for example, the uniformed officers who led this into the white house, even though they were not on the guest list felt it was safer to let them in as opposed to possibly upsetting the white house. in the case of the gunshots, the uniformed officer who reported the gunshots felt service safer she not heard them even though a supervisors overruled her. in the case of the white house intrusion recently, it was safer for the uniformed officers to not take out that intruder carrying a knife and went into the white house, even though he could have had an explosive or unleashed weapons of pass destruction. so the agents who perpetuate the myth that the secret service is inkrins i vincible are the ones that get ahead. that is understood. those who don t do that who point out problems are literally punished. and that is goes back to really the safety of the president who keeps insisting there is no problem in the secret service. michelle obama in the washington post was angry at the secret service over the fact that they did not detect gunshots. right. right. yet the president does nothing. i want to talk to you about that in a second. we understand the first lady and the president understandably were quite livid about this situation. i want to talk about this. you talk about it being an issue of culture. i want to also understand if this is a question, too, of our men and women in the secret service who are charged with protecting the president of the united states rand the property s family, are they given enough tools and resources to adequately do their job. for example, in the incident in 2011 and even from this late effort incident, one has to wonder if the tools for under surveillance were readily available to them? absolutely not. the secret service is absolutely crumbling as a part of this culture, they have the attitude we make do with less they are proud of not spending money. in the case of the gunshots, for example the secret service should have devices to detect gunshots the d.c. police have that. but the secret service doesn t. on and on they cut correspondent, they re not keeping up to date with the latest under surveillance devices, they will let people into events without screening or metal detection screening under pressure from white house staffs. are you at all convinced that the president and the first lady and his mother-in-law and their children that they re safe inside the white house? they are not safe. absolutely not t. agents i talked to say it s a miracle that there has not been an assassination so fayou know, it seems they need a major overhaul, what they need is a new director from the outside that is not a part of this culture. somehow, president obama really recklessly disregards all the warning signs, keeps defending the secret service. yesterday you had tonplanca, ths the only way we will have a clang is with an assassination. you know that tony blanken tried to put things in perspective saying the task that the secret service and the burden they bear in incredible and the newish director is looking into the incident. but you believe that these changes are not enough that more fundamental changes need to come? you know, the director always said, i m reviewing this, there will be hearings. nothing will happen. that s not the way you change any organization. you change the organization by bringing in a new ceo, not beholden to the interests, not a part of the culture, who will shake things up as bob mueller did when he became the fbi director. so this is a colossal lack of management on the part of president obama. because he is the one at risk here. he is the only one that can do anything about it. he has the ultimate power to change things there for his family and obviously for the white house and his administration. ronald kessler, thank you, check out his book, the first family detail. there it is on your screen right now. certainly following a whole lot of news this morning. let s get to it. i think they underestimated what had been taking la is in syria. it could take two weeks to restore full service to chicago s fire damaged air traffic control center. there appears to be a fire set by a contract employee. there is no terrorist act. my lungs were tired of all the coughing. he started coughing. i noticed he was getting blue around his mouth. the symptoms of the enterovirus and the cold stim symptoms will be the same. severe wheezeing. some need supplemental oxygen. good morning, welcome back to new day. the president says intelligent actions underestimated the extremist itself and over estimated iraq s willing and ability to fight them in this candid 60 minutes interview. no one is more surprised to hear this than intelligence officials. we ll get into it. they pound isis in northern syria and iraq. strikes three out of four americans report according to a new cnn/orc poll. however, the president s approval rating is low. michelle ka sin ski ha kosinski reporter: openly acknowledging now, yes, the u.s. absolutely underestimated isis in the past while overestimating the ability and will of the locals to fight it. they were able reconstitute themselves and take advantage of that chaos and attract foreign fighters who believed in their jihadist non-sent and nonsense and traveled everywhere to australia, other parts, convergeing on syria. so this became ground zero for jihadist itself around the world. so the president says the u.s. continues to be the one to lead this effort because america has the unique capacity to do so. so how do americans feel about that? this new cnn/orc poll shows 73% approve of the airstrikes but about that same number also feels that it is likely the u.s. will end up having to send in ground troops and fewer, only 61% feel confident that the u.s. will succeed in its goal of degrading and defeating isis. some other interesting numbers in there show that more americans now than a few weeks ago feel confident and approving of how things are going in there country and how president obama is handling isis. but those numbers are still very low, less than half and more than half now, 51%, say they don t trust president obama as commander-in-chief. chris. all right. michelle, thank you very much. now, we are joined by republican senator john mccain. very good to be with you. let me play you a little sound here from the 60 minutes interview and get your reaction. are you saying this is not really a war? what i m saying is that we are assisting iraq in a very real battle that s taking place on their soil, with their troops, but we are providing air support and it is in our interests to do that because isil represents sort of a hybrid of not just a terrorist network but one with territorial ambitions and so some of the strategy and tactics of an army. this is not america against isil. senator are we at war? of course. we r. it s not america against isil. maybe he believes that. this is isil against america. when mr. baghdadi left our prison and spent four years and said i ll see you in america. all you have to do is watch what they re saying. i am again just puzzled by the president, some of his statements for example, he left behind a stable iraq. we have predicted exactly what would happen. the intelligence comments he made. the intelligence people are pushing back hard. we predicted this and watched it. it was like watching a train wreck and warning every step of the way because a residual force would have stabilized the situation and, of course, maybe had a break on malachi. it is a direct result of our failure to leave a residual force behind and when they say we couldn t. they are not telling the truth. i was over there with lindsey graham and joe lieberman and we know it for a fact. so this here idea that somehow we didn t foe that this was happening, of course we knew it. we saw it happening. does the president deserve a little credit for being on your side, hold on a sec, when it comes to syria, he did say in an interview right after he was with us, hey, we need to bomb syria. as you know, congress pushed back on him and said, no, you can t do it. does he deserve some credit for identifying the threat? yes, he was identifying assad. there are so many inner connections. any credit? no, because two years ago when his national security team top level people, secretary of state, secretary of defense, and head of the cia recommended arming the free syrian army, he overhooul ruled them. if we had armed them then the situation on the ground would be dramatically different now. and by the way, christians, i want to mention, they want to train 5,000 free syrian army in saudi arabia and send them back. but are we going to do anything about basra assad s air attack? dropping these horrible air bombs on them? are we going to ask young men to train and equip and be slaughtered by basra assad s air power? we need a no-fly zone. what happens if he breaches it? it s his country? we take on his air force. you want to take on assad at the same time as isis? assad in my view is responsible for 192,000 syrians dead. there are 150,000 syrians in his prison. he uses barrel bombs and chemical weapons. he is wage supported by the iranians who changed the whole momentum on the battlefield. of course, are you going to ask these young people, by the way, we re going to train and equip you. you will fight against isis, not against assad, it s not only unwork about. it s immoral. you don t have any kind of authorization along those lines, it s not the president s fault. if this is a war the american people by the way don t think we are at war. there is so much confusing political messages, but congress would declare war. congress would give the authorization. they won t even come home and vote on this. they won t come back. i have said repeatedly, it s an act of cowardice on the part of congress. they didn t want to vote before the election. so i totally agree with you. the president can act. under the war powers act. against assad? absolutely. he can act against assad. why shouldn t he? if we re going to train people. basra assad is responsible for the deaths of nearly 200,000 people. millions who are refugees. it is, he is one of the great war criminals there is. for us to sit by and say we are only going to fight isis and not help these people against the guy slaughtering them when isis was nothing to speak of. what do you say to the american people? 70% say we don t want any more war. we are war wary. boka haram has all those girls we cared about for a while. can you pick a lot of differ situations. i would have gone after boka haram and i think a lot of the american people would have supported a special op exercise. i don t know of anybody who wouldn t. but i think the big point is here comparing boka haram and what basra assad has done is like there is no comparison and the fact is that this guy is an enemy of the united states of america. this is a struggle. congress told obama the president, not to do it. he never asked for it. he never came and asked for it. he probably wouldn t have gotten it. but he said he was going to strike syria. right. and without congress and then decided he was going to go to congress and he never asked, even. but so, is it fair. that doesn t leave much of a benefit of a doubt to congress. they knew, you knew, you could have came together. declaring war is your job, not his. he has to come to congress to ask for it to start w. first of all he said he was going to bomb without u.s. that was a signal he sent through the middle east. one reason we have so little credibility and then he decided he was going to come to congress cand saw he didn t have the votes. i would have loved to have been on record for a vote on that. i would have been very happy about this. air power alone does not win wars. i was in one when they tried. that air power alone, we will have to have boots on the ground if we re really going to succeed. who? we. in other words. u.s. boots. there is u.s. boots on the ground right now in iraq. but fighting? they re supposed to be advising. not fighting. to be there in advisory. isis wiped out the boundary between iraq and syria. what is the difference between it now? they are larger than the state of indiana. so for us to say, well, and our british friends, we ll bomb them in iraq but not in syria. why? there is no boundary anymore. isis goes back and forth between. in fact. now, that i will go into the populated areas. and you just, you can take out buildings with air power without people identifying those targets and directing it. but you are not going to be able to win by just bombing from the air and i think any military expert will tell you that. a big part of the problem. it sounds like a change. it s connected. the big problem connection between the president and the legislature, congress, being on the same page. bringing it back home. the people s agenda. we are now looking for an attorney general. the expectation is you will block. whoever he butts up. you will block. you won t get an attorney general. i don t think that s necessarily true. i would be glad to consider. i think election versus consequences, i know that very well. i don t think that we would just block necessarily anybody. that s what s been happening to the president to be honest. let s remember harry reid blue up the senate. they only need 51 votes. so they have been getting everybody through. do you think that will clang? absolutely. what they ve done is they ve made the united states senate, they ve changed it from the unique role that a minority can play in the political process by making it just 51 votes. but going back to if the president explained to the american people what s at stake here and what s happening and already americans are now supporting airstrikes, according to. i think the american people would be supported if they can see a concrete plan and as we used to say light at the end of the tunnel. but if it s just going to be some more airstrikes and it s going to drag out and track out and drag out, then over time the american people will not support it, chris. by the way, we were war wary after world war ii, we went to korea, we were war wary a lot of times. if the american people are told what s at stake when our intelligence people say that isis is a direct threat to the united states of america, then i think they will support the president. we need to have you back, senator, the next part of this conversation is, well, the american people have been told this isn t their war. this is about an existential threat to the middle east. they are supposed to help. switching the definition will take time and convinceing. the american people aren t hearing it right now. thank you for being a strong voice. hopefully you will be back and continue the conversation. chris. thanks. we want to turn to chicago now t.faa now says it will take weeks to get the city s fir damaged air traffic control center back online. more than 3600 flights have been delayed or even canceled at o hare and at mid-way since friday. lions are snowflakeing through the airpo snakeing through the area. they can give us an idea of how traffic is flowing and more about the mental state of this person before this all came to beio. yeah, first, things are slow going. if you are traveling, calm ahead. 60% of the planes leaving o hare that o hare is only moving at a 60% clip. mid-way airport about 75 and of course when there are problems at a major airport in this country, there are problems across the country. basically, the faa has to rebuild a communications center outside of chicago from the ground up. some equipment came in. they are working 24/7 to get that up. they say it may not be fully operational for another two weeks. oother centers are chipping in to help out there. as for the person accused of doing this, 36-year-old dan howard, he remains hospitalized. apparently, according to friends and the affidavit filed in federal court, he showed up to work where he had security clearance. he worked inside there transmission center. he showed up with gasoline in a suitcase he posted on facebook he was going to kill himself and take out the communications center before he did it. he did survive his self inflicted wounds. he is still hospitalized. the bottom lean, if you are traveling today or this week, calm ahead, because this is still a problem. the investigation continues. of course, you tell us about the traveled nightmares there. i was in calgary over the weekend. even those flights all the way in western canada were affected. this has a triple. gus: ripple effect. trickle. gus:. either way. it s all bad right now. all bad. a lot of headlines, obviously, christine romans is taking care of that. good morning. let s go to hong kong, tens of thousands opropheters, riot police have pulled back and are urging people to leave t. demonstrators have shown no signs of letting up. they are accusing police of heavy-handed tactics. student-led demonstration with beijing s attempts to interfere with local elections. murder charges against a man accused of beheading a female co-worker in moore, oklahoma. alton nolan recently converted to islam. he was trying to convince his colleagues to do the seam before he was fired from a food processing plant. he allegedly killed his co-worker before he was shot by an armed manager at the plant. people back in the u.s., this unidentified patient is now in isolation at the national institutes of health in maryland t. virus has now officially killed more than 3,000 people. it is vastly underestimated. oscar winner george clooney is a bachelor no more. he and human rights lawyer am a aamal alamuddin. it took me so long to get back from that wedding. i can t believe i made it here in that time. enjoy. enjoy. a lot of serious news to talk about as well. this serious beheading. let s get back to that, this increased terrorist chatter. the question is obvious. could this isis style terror hit home in the u.s.? we will speak with former homeland secretary tom ridge about how the nation can protect itself. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don t think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that s not a coincidence. it s one more part of our commitment to america. . a threat from isis very real. how big is the threat at home? foreign fighters carrying out such attacks here. according to news, cnn or a c poll, more than half of americans believe it is more likely now we have begun terror strikes against isis. joining me now is tom ridge, the former government of pennsylvania and homeland cooperate nator. good to join you. i ll pass on your hellos to chris in a moment. thanks, so much. i want to talk about this pom. it s interesting to see that almost 50% of americans believe a terrorist attack is more likely now that we have attacked isis. first there may be a correlation. isis declared war on us when they beheaded the first american and the series of beheadings. the khorasan group and al qaeda indicated post-9-11 america is in the crosshairs. so the concern issed to probably greater than it was right after 9-11. these terror groups, there are more of them. one of the things they discovered after 9-11, with very few dollars they can we ll be right back after okay. the lone wolf or the former isis soldier working back into western europe or the united states is a real problem. you have to accept it as it is. we look at this horrifying situation in oklahoma. this young man beheading this woman, a colleague at a plant he had just been let go from. we don t know if there was a link. thatry investigating a link or tie to isis. there was some sort of inspiration. that is effectively terrorism in its own right. i do believe we need to learn more about this individual whether he is an ideologue with severe health problems that latched on to that mindset and used it as a rational for his horrific behavior. at the end of the day i think one of the broader challenges we have, given the apurture has opened wider, in order for us to defend ourselves as effectively as we possibly can. now is the time for the alphabet agencies and fbi and everybody else to share more information with the state and locals. you cannot secure this country from inside the beltway. offense we are doing overseas. defense you play here. we have to make sure the federal government when it gets reliable information shares it timely, in a timely way with the state and local partners of law enforcement. most of us learned of this al qaeda affiliate khorasan last week. this administration says they are concerned they are plotting an imminent threat against the u.s. or europe. they later clarified it as an imminent threat with no known target. i m curious, given the fact that you have your history with homeland security, how serious of a threat do you believe they pose or will pose? i think any al qaeda-related organization is potentially a threat. whether or not they have the capability to deliver on that promised threat remains to be seen. i think we have to be very realistic about this. not breathlessant this. this is a permanent condition of the 21st century world. we are seeing it play out unfortunately across too many instances and too many countries. that is why i go back to the original premise i shared with you. now it is more important than ever before. we get away from the cold war mentality when the federal government says we will share information when we think you need to know it. we need to know it now. that s one of the challenges for this and the future federal government sharing more information with the folks at the local level so they can help defend their own families and communities. you can t do it from inside watching. i want to talk about the importance of language will segue to my next question here. i know you have been very blunt and opened about declaring this a war with isis. we know the president who was at this just the other night, i want to play this out and get your reaction. this is how the president answered the question. are you saying there is not really a war? what i m saying is we are asithing iraq in a very real battle takes place on their soil with their troops. but we are providing air support. it s in our interest to do that because isil represents sort of the hybrid of not just the terrorist network but one with territorial ambitions and the strategy and tactic itself of an army. this is not an america against isil. secretary, how do you le spond? listen the president is a very able man. he uses words very carefully. i think it s just too nuanced to be viewed by america to be accurate. isis made the great missouri they weren t beheaded in the united states. they declared war. why were they beheaded? because they were americans. as the men and women overseas fighting these terrorists are at war. we august to accept that and forget the war games that we are playing and accept that reality. we will leave it there thank you so much, sir. thank you so much wmpblts le take a look in a rare exclusive interview with two men who have not with the terror group. can you start to feel the heat. five weeks until mid-term elections. key races are heeding up in the playing states. john king has all this and more inside politics right after the break. big day? . welcome back to new day. let s go to ris teen romans. a new day, a new week. let s look at the headlines, the united states underestimated isis and overestimated the ability of the iraqi army to fight the extremist group. that admission from president obama in an interview with cbs. he says the chaos of the civil syrian war allowed isis to go underground and get stronger. bengalsmen netanyahu addresses t to the war crimes and genocide during the latest gaza conflict. the u.s. denounced the comments as counterproductive. volunteers will resume tear search today for a realtor who misterriously vanished after showing a home in arkansas. beverly carter went missing thursday. her car was still parked outside that house she was showing when her husband reported her missing. police issued an arrest warrant for a person in connection. they haven t said how the two are linked. terrifying video out of the netherlands, a warning to you this morning. this is disturbing what we are about to show you. a deadly accident as a monster truck plows into onlookers. it drove over a row of parked cars and could not stop. three people are dead. more than a dozen other are hurt. organizeers believe the truck s gas pedal may have gotten stuck or the brakes failed. clearly terrifying video oust of the netherlands. oh my goodness, they were so close to the action there. how horrifying. it is terrible. all right. it is time for inside politics on new day. john, i heard you were going to be with us. now are you just in a box. couldn t take the heat, could you? i got afraid of new york. i couldn t take the heat, exactly right. let s go inside politics, five weeks to election day. with me to show the insights, let s start with our new brand-new cnn/orc poll numbers. in a mid term election, you watch the president standing with the american people. when it comes to airstrikes, look at this, 73% favor the airstrikes campaign under way. 24% approve. let start and stop there for a second, mollie, in a second that almost everything that happens becomes polarizedle. the president, as long as there are no ground troops on safe footing. i think we saw this before he acted as well, there was very large but qualified support for military action, right. people support the specific action. they do not support any broadening of the complex. they re worried that s what this is going to lead to. you see in this same poll a lot of people believe this is going to load to a wider war. they don t see it as a limited conflict. they re very leery of that. as we watch this play out. one of the interesting things, you scrub the poll to see where is the president moving. when it comes to how is he handling isis. we don t have a strategy yet. if you see now the approval/disapproval numbers are getting better. 45% approve, 49% disapprove. those numbers are getting better, jackie, his numbers on handling terrorism are getting better. it s very important in a mid-term election year. how is the president handling his job? 44% approve his his job improvement. it s up a little bit. why won t that budge? people might think it s too little too late. there are so many things playing into this. this rally around the commander-in-chief we re not seing it this time. independents support this action. still skeptical of the president. is there an out there on the campaign trail impact of this? well, i think what we have seen in a lot of polls for the past year the president lost the confidence, lost the trust of people. even if he does what they want. maybe people see it as too little too late. when you have the president out there saying he underestimated this threat. that doesn t add to confidence, i don t think. there is a lot of talk on the campaign trail. there are a lot of republican senate candidates bludgeoning their democratic opponents saying there is terrorism out there. a lot of republicans believe when people are scared, they vote republican. i think that we ll see it that way reflected because when you look at this poll, people are still afraid of a terrorist attack. they think one is coming. so i think in that way. that anxiety. something to keep an eye on, obviously for the good of the country. five weeks from tomorrow the mid-term election, one of the fascinating senate races is the republican versus a chance, a congressman, a democratic candidate, this race is going. gus: to the wire and the debate over the weekend. here s one of the highlights. i m a bridge builder, not a bridge burner. senator ernst has called president obama a dictator and thinks impeachment should be on the table. you threatened to sue a neighbor over a chicken that came on your property. are you talking art bipartisanship. how do we expect as iowans to believe that you will work across the aisle when you can t walk across your yard? interesting turn there on the all politics is local. he wants to make it about washington, shutting. gus: the government. she wants to make eight dispute with the neighbor over chickens. why this race matters so much? joanie ersnst is 34 pth. bruce braley 38%. if those numbers are correct and this is breaking for the republican. if they re going to win in iowa, i would guess if they win that iowa race they are winning the sixth for the united states senate. maybe, maybe not. i think joni ernst is a strong personality. she largely has personal characteristics. the race hinged on so many little gasps braley, he has had a terrible campaign. my debate is i know what you are, but what am i. it s exciting back and forth. you d almost think they were married. it is an interesting irony he is the one talking about washington when she is painting him as a beltway insideer. it s almost the middle. he goes back to the coke brothers, i don t think people care about outside walk. that s another nasty ad. if they re trying tof this walk centric narrative. goes, it s not working. stop trying to make that happen. you raised a legitimate question if they are winning iowa, they are winning in ra lot of places because there are a number of querky races. five weeks ago, one is the kansas city race, where pat roberts is the republican incumbent. the democrats have dropped off. you have a fascinating interview in the atlantic with mr. orman, he s an interesting guy. he says he s an independent. he says if he wins, he ll decide after he wins whether he comes to washington and talks with the democrats or republicans. i want to read one line, he wouldn t say whether he would have voted for the dodd-frank financial reform bill or faces cap control. he laments more construction funding, when asked to raise the gas tax, he responds, we haven t come out with a position, can he get away with that, five weeks to the campaign? we ll see. -se evasive. politicians are evasive. i don t think that s news for anyone. i sort of went to kansas to see, is thisgy for real? a lot of people don t support him. that is not a good sign. so orman is sort of in the right place at the right time. he is benefiting from the disillusion. . from the incumbents on popularity, the fact that the democrats dropped out of the race. is he sort of the receptacle of these factors? he is a substantive guy. he knows a lot about a lot of issues. he isn t taking positions on a lot of things, political may be smart. you do hear some voters, who support him, saying, well, he s kind of vague. i d like to know wr more where he stands. you have john mccain there, sarah palen. you have jeb burks paul ryan is going there. they re sending in heavy hitters to rally the base go throwing in the kitchen sink. the question is, as you make a good point. if republicans at the event are mad about their own guy and it s passion, we could make i wake up or before we go to bed with an independent who won t say whether he s with the democrats or republicans, an unlikely scenario, don t give up on it. thank you for coming in. back to you guys in, no. in case you haven t heard, folks, a chelsea clinton had her baby. the name is charlotte. well, late night comics can t resist. it is a beautiful picture. now, let s have a laugh. congratulations to chelsea clinton who gave birth to a baby girl on friday. the new grandmother hillary clinton said she couldn t be happier unless the baby was a la tina in a swing state. nothing i guess nothing is sacred, guys. congratulations to chelsea and more fodder for late night guys. if there is anything it will be this i m sure tray have so happy. nothing like a few baby coming into a family. see you tomorrow. here s a question, who would fight for a group like isis? well, we have an answer for you, a rare look inside the terror organization. two men speak exclusively to cnn about what it s like to be an isis fighter. parents out there. put. gus: the coffee this scary respiratory virus is almost in all 50 states.

so nice to see you this morning. how concerned should people be? cdc issuing an advisory about nine young patients in colorado asking doctors to look for other similar symptoms. how concerned should parents to be? again, obviously be alert. i wouldn t be fearful. concerns, depends on what you mean by concerned. parents are always concerned when they hear something like this. this particular virus has a propensity to cause serious disease in children who have asthmatic predeposition. those are the ones that are most susceptible to serious consequences of the disease. you asked, what should parents do? if you have a child who does have a predisposition to asthma, make sure it s under control to minimize complications and avoid interactions with children that are sick. wash your hands when you have illness, manifest good respiratory hygiene stay away from people sneezing and coughing. particularly if you have a child with an asthma predisposition. stay home if you re sick. a lot of schools around the country have been encouraging people to keep kids home. muscle weakness and paralysis , is it surprising? could it be tied to enterovirus d 6 8 or something else? it could be something else. you mentioned nine cases in colorado. cdc and others were able to investigate eight of those. in four of eight they were able to isolate the enterovirus d 68. that doesn t prove cause and effect but it s circumstantial evidence. it still remains a puzzle. let s look at similar m tos. seems like run of the wheel flu symptoms. sneeze, running nose, cough. what should parents be looking for? that s the typical flu-like symptoms s you get. difficulty with this as i mentioned is it can lead to significant respiratory distress and problems particularly in children who have what we call reactive air ways, asthma or respiratory problems in children that have predisposition in asthma. this hasn t been a problem for adults. it seems focused on kids under 18. that s correct. it s rare and unusual to see an adult infected. it s likely the case as you get to be an adult, over your lifetime, leading up to adulthood, that you ve been exposed to a greater or lesser degree to enterovirus and even enterovirus 68 so when you come into contact with a child with no pre-existing immunity and get exposed, an adult will unlikely get infected or sick. if they do get infected, they would really not get sick is. mostly because you have a background immunity to it. this has been seen in 40 states. you say wash your hands with soap and water a, avoid close contact like touching and shaking hands. stay home from school, keep kids home from school if they re sick. cleaning and disinfecting touch surfaces. you said it. that s correct. let s talk about ebola quickly. this is a real concern from health officials. an american doctor exposed to ebola has arrived at nih in bethesda, maryland. what more can you tell us act this situation? someone exposed to ebola, you want to get them to a fact where if in fact they re infected they can be treated quickly. that s right. i can t give you details about this patient because of c confidentiality. like you correctly said, the patient is a physician who had been follvolunteering services. the physician was exposed in a way that would be at risk for being infected. when we say exposed, that does not necessarily mean a person is infected. when you have an exposed person, you put them under the right isolation situation where you can monitor them f. they re exposed and not infected, they re home free after a certain period of time. the outer limit of that is usually 21 days following exposure if unfortunately a person does get infected, then you treat them appropriately under the proper infection control conditions. that has been remarkable watching ebola happening in west africa. we wish you the best in working on a vaccine and helping those exposed and infected. thank you for joining us this morning. you re welcome. president obama on the record about the mistakes his administration made during the rise of isis. we have a live report from the white house. all around the world the dedicated people of united airlines are there to support you. that s got your back friendly. when i had my first migraine, i was lucky. that sounds crazy, i know. but my mom got migraines, so she knew this would help. excedrin migraine starts to relieve my pain in 30 minutes. plus, sensitivity to light and sound, even nausea. excedrin migraine works. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. at night and when it s cloudy, we use more natural gas. this ensures we can produce clean electricity whenever our customers need it. good morning to you. welcome back to new day. it s monday, september 29, 8:00 in the east. if you ve been wondering how isis was able to rise so quickly, the president may have given you an answer. in a stunning admission, president obama acknowledged u.s. intelligence agencies underest hated the terror organization and overestimated the will of the iraqi army to fight it. many of you agree with what the president said in the interview last night. all of this as isis targets in iraq and northern syria are pounded. a new poll shows three quarters of the american people support the strikes but fewer support the commander-in-chief ordering them. we re covering this from all angles. first, michelle kosinski live from the white house. while we re seeing more air strikes in iraq and syria, we re hearing the president openly talk about how the u.s. underestimated isis in the poost and overestimated ability of locals to fight it. that s what continues to worry some here in this country. speaking on cbs 60 minutes, president obama acknowledging what the u.s. head of intelligence has said that the government absolutely underestimated isis. they were able to reconstitute themselves and take advantage of that and attract foreign fighters who believed in their jihadist non sense and traveled from europe, to the united states, to australia, to other parts of the muslim world converging on syria. the u.s. and arab allies continue hitting isis from the air in syria and iraq through the weekend. isis still managed an advance in syria near the turkish border. yet turkey is still not a military partner in this fight. some european countries have joined the coalition but won t touch syria. the u.s. is still leading this. that s always the case. america leads. we are the indespinsable nation. we have capacity nobody else has. our military is the best in the history of the word. when trouble comes up anywhere in the world, they don t call beijing. they don t call moscow. they call us. that s how we roll. and that s what makes us america. how do americans feel about this? a new cnn poll released this morning shows 73% approve the air strikes. about the same amount feel the u.s. will likely have to send ground troops. fewer, 61%, are confident the u.s. will succeed in the goal of degrading and destroying isis. there was bipartisan support for the mission, but now bipartisan concern over what the end game will look like, whether congress should have debated and voted on the plan, whether u.s. boots will end up on that volatile ground if no one else steps up. we have no choice. these are barbarians. they intend to kill us. if we don t destroy them first, we re going to pay the price. also interesting, we re seeing more americans now than a few weeks ago approving of how things are going in the country and approving of how president obama is handling isis. slightly more than half of americans, 51%, say they don t trust president obama as commander-in-chief. chris issue. none of that helped by how confusing this situation is. not clear what the u.s. is doing over there. thank you for the reporting. now to troops waging the war on the ground. the pentagon hit targets in a kurdish area of syria under siege by isis. the question is, has the u.s. been doing enough to help the kurds as battles rage on the ground? good morning michaela. this is the area where isis is making latest advance deep in northern syria against syrian kurds. many by the thousands are trying to escape across the board tore turkey raising the question why not more air strikes to defend the kurds? i ve spoken to u.s. defense officials and they say they do not have the mission to defend the syrian kurds in particular. the mission is to degrade and destroy isis. that s where it stands now. unless the president gives additional mission, they ll stick with orders they have. chuck hagel talking late last week about what is going on in northern syria and in talking about the mission there. there are some hints that the turks may get involved, nothing definite yet. this latest fighting now right up against the tushish border, important nato ally. u.s. engaging in air strikes around syria against isis targets trying to put isis back on its heels. even the pentagon will tell you air strikes are not the full answer. michaela? on the ground near the border showing how intense the situation is and how it changes by the moment. thanks so much. the american people agree. 76% say troops from the u.s. likely to be necessary in the fight against isis. let s get perspective, congressman ed royce, chairman of the house foreign affairs. chairman, thank you for being with us on new day. two big points out of the interview with the president. first, let s play sound about his feelings about intelligence lapses. well, i think our head of the intelligence community, jim clapper, has acknowledged i think they underestimated what had been taking place in syria. a lot of people on the intel community pushing become on that. what s your take? i happen to know that in baghdad, the request was made from our embassy for strikes early on against isis as they were coming over the border. this wasn t unknown by the administration. myself and others also made requests for the use of drones to hit those units as they were going city by city. they were open targets out on the open road. the administration decided not to do it. as a consequence, you had 16 cities fall. the last one to fall was mosul in which the central bank was taken over by isis is. yes, if the advice early on had been taken in terms of power and certainly recruiting capability of isis, i think we could have done more to retard, degrade, slow their advance. intelligence failure, political failure on the part of the white house? i think that was political failure. early on, his former secretary of state hillary clinton urged action on this as did secretary of defense. this had to do with arming those that could have been a count weight in the region. this takes us to the interesting question of whether or not we re going to arm the kurds with weapons they need to defend themselves or christians. what do you think? do not be differential to government in baghdad but insist weapons needed to defend those religious people and authorities get into their hands. if you allow baghdad to exercise vie tveto, they will not let tht happen the time comes when you have to lead and be consist end on a course of action that is going to stop the isis advance. what we have found is if we do not push on the government in baghdad and if we don t assert we re going to do it legislatively. did democrats and republicans in congress want to see the kurds armed. they want to see the christians armed. why do we feel that way? a, we re not supportive of the idea of putting 82nd air born in there. we think these people should be allowed to defend themselves. we think a good amount of this was # on part of the government in baghdad not allowing local forces to have the weapons they need to defend themselves. this gets tricky. if you want to circumvent the government on the one hand but need the iraqi government to allow the political change to allow sunnis to gain control so you don t have the next isis, you can t undermine the government? that goes back to the original point of why we should have spent, kept a small contingent force in baghdad itself, to have that leverage. we ve lost that leverage. now we have to make the most of a difficult equation here which you ve outlined effective his there. at the end of the day, if they continue to lose ground, if minorities continue to be slaughtered, you re left with the question, if united states can give capability to defend themselves and they re killing isis troops, and if you don t have leadership in baghdad, we re going to have to step in and do what i suggested. dire consequences. the next big headline. play the sound of whether or not we re at war. are you saying this is not really a war? what i m saying is that we are assisting iraq in a very real battle that s taking place on their soil with their troops. we are providing air support, and it is in our interest to do that because isil represents a hybrid of not just a the terrorist network but one with strategy and tactics of an army. this is not america against i l isil. do you agree or are we at war? in the first instance, the fight was handed down by isil against the united states where they say they re at war with us. clearly we re trying to put together an international coalition so we keep the focus on the fact this is not just the united states. this is the gulf states, jordan, every country in the region. every ethnic group this the region is threatened directly by these beheadings and mass murders. so i understand the strategy in terms of insisting that this is an international coalition. at the same time, clearly they ve declared war on the united states and europe. that s the reality from isil s perspective. forget about them. they re not supposed to be driving this game. it s supposed to be about the arabs. they re not driving the game. now it s about the u.s. if it is really war, no matter what the president says, of course he s got a great mind and may be accurate but impractical on some level. that s congress s job to declare war. if you re going to arm them, why not make a debate and decision on this? we will debate. if the president asked for he is the commander-in-chief if he asks for authorization of force, what you re calling for, congress will bring that up. what congress has done as we know is pass an authorization for the specific requests the president made. that was bipartisan. it was passed by a large margin. to some extent, we attempt to do this with one voice when engaged in foreign policy. begin that fact, it is incumbent upon the commander in chief to lay out the strategy he wants. we have given him those tools. you don t need the president to make a decision about whether or not you wanted to declare war or not. we do not need the president. we re not dealing with that. this is a terrorist network. let s look at examples in yemen, this is a larger extent of al qaeda. it s a new way to recruit. they use the internet. it s the same notion of eventually having the caliphate. they don t want to wait. they want it right now. when dealing with this kind of threat, what s the best strategy? we re going to debate this when we go back. i ve got democrats and republicans that all have views on this. we re going to see if we can come to another conclusion besib besides the one we reached already. if we need to expand we ll do it. where we don t want this to go is 82nd air born deployed into that region. that s pretty clear. that s a bipartisan position that we don t want to see us do that if we ve got a real alternative to go back to my original point. arm the kurds, christians, sunnis who want to resist isis. it is their battle. give them the tools and air support that we should be. chairman, it s a plan. meet on it, debate, vote on it. that s the leadership people need. appreciate you being on the show. i want one people to know the chairman is holding a hearing wednesday into the situation of the man held in mexico. we re following that story. thank you for holding the hearing. we ll follow that as well. very good. lots of news this morning. we re going to begin in hong kong. tens of thousands remain on the streets. police urging people to leave, but demonstrators show no sign of letting up accusing police of heavy handed tactics. student led demonstrations began over interference of elections. in chicago, faa says it will take weeks to get the fire damage air traffic control center back on line. weeks. officials hope to return it to full service october 13th. an air traffic employee apparently set the fire before a suicide attempt. the search for more victims of the volcano eruption has been suspended. many were killed by saturday s sudden eruption. police say there could be two dozen more bodies on the mountain. ash has forced airlines to divert from the area 15 miles west of tokyo. what a memorable regular season finale from major league baseball. derek jeter driving in a run, final at bat. jeter was removed from the game with boston red sox fans chanting his game. look at the catch by the washington nationals rookie. it saved a no hitter for jordan zimmerman on the final out of the game. it s the first no hitter ever thrown by a nationals pitcher. back to boston. they were so welcoming and so great for derek jeter. their rival for all those years. is that why john berman is not here today?

[ female announcer ] stay strong, stay active with boost. this morning new revelations on how the secret service nearly missed a 2011 assassination attempt on the president s family. it had been three or four days since the secret service realized the building had been hit. this comes on the heels of the fence jumper making his way in the white house. he ll face tough questions from the house tomorrow. this morning the secret service is defending the way it handled the situation. i want to discuss this with the washington post reporter that wrote the story on the 2011 shooting. thanks for joining me this morning carol. glad to be here. first of all, let s get you to give us a sense of your reporting on how something so serious, shots fired into the white house, could go undetected or unreported four days. when i first heard about this in the last maybe year and a half of writing about the secret service, i knew it had been covered in a small way. i knew that there had been shots fired at the white house in 2011 and it took a few days to happen. i was curious when i heard clues of what happened behind the scenes. i wanted to learn more. as i learned more, i found it fascinating about how the service responded to this. essentially the service initially decided in basically a few hours time that that sleepy friday night, veterans weekend, the shootout had been gangsters in two cars that happened to have their argument on the national mall. that seed like an unlikely thing to happen, but that s what they concluded. there was no evidence connecting this shooting to the white house. actually what happened a man who was very troubled, increasingly paranoid 21-year-old has pulled out the gun out of the car, pulled up onto constitution avenue and shot seven to eight rounds from a semiautomatic rifle. he hit the white house seven times. he hit most importantly the second floor of the family s residence while sasha was home. sasha was the only one home at the time. president and first lady was traveling. mel meleah was due to arrive any moment. a paper has taken issue with the reporting. i want to give you a chance to respond to push back. they call the night an uncertain situation. they argue that they responded accordingly. they say a witness told them shots had been fire at another vehicle. they took the fact your reporting said they did nothing the night of the incident. they said they did a sweep around the white house, found no suspect or property damage. what s your reaction to that? it s absolutely true the secret service looked around the pe remember ter. our story says they were searching for casings on constitution avenue. i do think the the secret service was doing things behind the scenes. i know they were from looking at records. this is really about they had officers on the scene, one in particular, who said she heard gunshots. she was pretty sure she knew what kind of gun it was because of her training. she heard the sound of debris falling overhead from the trueman balcony. if you have an officer on the scene that experiences that, you would think that would surface to the leadership and be part of the investigation. actuallycret service officers on duty that night were interviewed until the usher found a bullet on the balcony four days later. and also made a point of at thing the first lady who hadn t been told at that point. i want to talk about the secret service director. we know she ll testify before a special committee tuesday. she was brought if in after the 2012 scandal involving secret service guys. brought in to bust up what was perceived as an old boy s network. do you get a sense from reporting she is doing what she was set out to do, tasked to do? morale is pretty low at the secret service. the staffing problems that had plagued the agency when she arrived and low morale haven t been addressed. i think her job is a really hard one. i wish her well. i don t hear from the people that i talk to inside the agency that things are improving in any drastic way. as for breaking up the old boy s network, certainly she s a woman. she s had a career at the service. she was one of the top recommendations of the previous director. she was a mentor of the previous director. there are people who say she s an insider. part of this whole culture, not a big change. what do you think it is going to take to change things inside the secret service? we had an author on a moment ago telling us he thinks it s going to take an assassination attempt which is a terrifying thought. i really hope it doesn t come to that. here s what i hear from people inside and also former agents who think the highest duty that they were ever called to was to protect the president. they feel this agency is a little stuck in the mud, that it is reactive instead of proactive. not creative, not modernizing, throws bodies at a body instead of thoughtful solutions. that it is becoming increasingly political. i m sorry i m so sorry. we ve got to wrap it up there for now. i d love to talk to you further about this. really intriguing article and the writer of the article. we appreciate your time. what might the white house look like with rand paul in office? we ll look at the 2016 run and whether he gets a chance. we ll look at that very article. stay with us. providing technology to get more detail. detect hidden threats. see the whole picture. process critical information, and put it in the hands of our defenders. reaching constantly evolving threats before they reach us. that s the value of performance. northrop grumman. in the country. we operate just like a city, and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal, generating electricity on-site, and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we re very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment. watch this. sam always gives you the good news in person, bad news in email. good news fedex has flat rate shipping. it s called fedex one rate. and it s affordable. sounds great.

well, that is really the key question. i think let me give you examples of how hard this is for rand paul. when i started working on this piece over the summer, the head of the texas republican party the texas republican party is the biggest state party in the country. the head of that carries a lot of weight in presidential primary politics. he told me over the summer rand paul was one of the three most likely to win the republican nomination. guess what, after the debate over isis this summer where rand paul was accused of changing his position and not having a clear position, i went back to that person and just to make sure he still felt that way. he said no. he had changed his mind and that the foreign policy issue had so strained and he had gotten of messed up with shifting position that it was too much of a wildcard and he no longer believed that. that s evidence that this project of trying to main stream paul s policies is a lot more complicated maybe than he thought. main stream policies. jesse benton, political advisor to rand paul. he said there s a sub layer that s a loud minority of supporters. nothing is ever going to be right unless rand is on a regular basis standing on the floor of the senate smashing the the establishment. they want ted cruz on steroids, and that s not going to work in the long term. he s describing ted cruz too far to the right and trying to separate rand from that wing of the party in a certain way. it s also interesting because they realize that ron paul for excitement he generated, he never won a state and could never generate more than five to 15% of the republican base. so it s just not enough to win the republican nomination. so they have this very tricky project of keeping the tea party in the libertarian base with rand paul. at the same time trying to woo these establishment gop donors and activists and to convince them he s not his dad. but you say he s got the energy this time around with the republicans like another senator who was talked about and able to raise money, president obama was, not long ago. i covered obama starting in 2004. writing about rand paul reminded me of that period in barack obama s career. let s be honest, obama had a lot of issues he had to overcome. a lot of past associations and statements. it s very similar. i see rand a little as obama as the republican party now. it s called revenge of rand paul. you clearly had a summer of rand paul. nice to see you. nice to see you. take care. president obama s admission, he underestimated isis, comes days after ordering the first air strikes in syria. big shift for the president. the new york times correspondent will weigh in on obama s new role, next. t-mobile s network has more data capacity than verizon or at&t. it s a network designed differently. a network designed data strong. having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pick-up truck slams into your brand new car. one second it wasn t there and the next second. boom! you ve had your first accident. now you have to make your first claim. so you talk to your insurance company and. boom! you re blindsided for a second time. they won t give you enough money to replace your brand new car. don t those people know you re already shaken up?

we have somebody now that may be able to tell us exactly why. he looks at when obama came into office as someone to end wars not start them. where does this leave him now? mr. peter baker. thank you for joining us. as people heard that answer, we started to see in social media and otherwise, confusion. seems obvious we re at war. there s a poll on cnn orc that says 60% don t think we re at more. the situation seems to be obviously. this matters to president obama, why? well, it does matter to him. his goal was to get us out of middle east wars. he withdrew from iraq, plans to withdraw from afghanistan. he hopes that will be his legacy to pull back. he finds himself in a situation he s not only back in iraq at least in the air with a small number of troops on the ground and also in syria, a place we hadn t been militarily before his presidency. he s finding himself in a place he s trying to reconcile ideas so it feels consistent and makes sense to him and the public he s been trying to lead on this. what have you figured out? i suggest you read peter s reporting on this. he has fresh reporting on this now. very interesting. however, what have you been able to figure out in terms of why would he do the one thing he criticized roundly, which well may been a big reason he became president. he resisted as long as he could. he was warned by people, including secretary of state hillary clinton that they ought to get involved in arming them but countering the rise of a group like isis. he didn t want to do it. he felt it would be a mess, a terrible thing to get american troops back involved. now he feels he has no choice. isis has grown so large. as you heard him say, it s one with territorial ambitions. he s forced in a position he feels he has no choice but to intervene. he s trying his own terms. he s not george w. bush. he s not going to put large numbers of ground troops in there. the real question is whether his strategy will work and what he ll leave his successor? what does it mean many the thinking of the white house? there s legacy conscious like this second term, that he will most likely, president obama, be defined on an issue that he very much wanted to avoid. how do they handle it? great question. president obama even when he was a senator actually understood that a presidency is sometimes events that take place outside your control. he told aids that president control may be 25% of what goes on. the rest is reacting to the world. that s where he is now, reacting to the world in syria and iraq obviously. other places like ukraine, gaza, afghanistan. it s not going exactly how he wanted it to go. he s focused on getting the next two years right so when he leaves office, he s in stable condition for whoever comes on whether hillary clinton or rand paul. it s a parallel to where george w. bush was in his presidency. he got iraq to a place to leave the successor in better shape than it was at. big reason, when you look back at history, just quickly. you know this obviously peter, bush set is up a deal with maliki who was running the iraqi government, about leaving and what would happen. maliki was strong about wanting the u.s. out. he had trouble domestic with the u.s. being there. the obama didn t pay anymore attention to that because they were okay staying out of there as well. that s why mccain and all these guys are arguing we could have been in there, should have been a stability force. now troops on the ground will probably be the line between whether this is any different from what we ve seen in the past, how does he avoid boots on the ground? that s a good question. partly not just how to avoid boots on the ground. it s how to define boots on the ground. does boots on the ground mean no ground forces at all? probably not. we have 1600 folks in iraq. the the idea is they re not out there firing weapons, in direct combat the way they were for nine years or eight years under president bush and later president obama. eventually, the question is will he introduce special forces to help air strikes determine targets to help syrian opposition forces, much less iraqi forces, figure out how to do the combat themselves? that s a line that s been shifting over the last few weeks as they try to strug toll in ii define the strategy. he is taking a beating. very complex. needs intelligence coverage. good thing you re there. thank you very much. peter baker, strong stuff. we need perspective on it. thank you for being on new day. hope to have you back. have a great day. you too. so here s a question for you. what would you do if you knew a pair of kids who s only toy was a balled up old sock? what would you do? we ll tell you a story about what one police officer did about it. it makes him the good stuff. when diet and exercise aren t enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. yeah! crestor is not for people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of serious side effects. are you down with crestor? ask your doctor about crestor. iwith something terrible to admit. i treated thousands of patients, risked their lives, while high on prescription drugs. i was an addict. i m recovered now, but an estimated 500,000 medical professionals are still out there, abusing drugs or alcohol. police, airline pilots, bus drivers. they re randomly tested for drugs and alcohol. but not us doctors. you can change that: vote yes on proposition 46. your lives are in our hands. time for the good stuff today s edition. a police officer goes above and beyond for a pair of young boys with nothing to play with. listen to this. officer from virginia on patrol on a neighborhood spot ace pair of kids, looked like they could use a buddy. they began asking about my different equipment on my police gear. i said you want to play with toys or something while we re here? they said they didn t have any. it was pretty heartbreaking. turns out the only toy they had to play catch with, a balled up sock. the officer wasn t having it. you know what he did? arrested them. i m just kidding. he went out and bought them a proper ball, action figures, even a costume police hat, all with his own money. no pub lis publicity stunt. the kids reaction was the reward. probably my greatest experience as a police officer. i got a little teary eyed. i was not expecting that kind of a response towards me. that s so wonderful. good stuff there. protect and serve. we tell the story straight when it s the other side. got to this side too. protect, serve, play. makes me want to go buy toys right now. go buy toys. you should do that. let s do it right now. a lot of news this morning. time for the newsroom. randy in for carol. got to go buy toys. that is on my list after the show. thanks guys. nice to see you. newsroom starts now. good morning everyone. i m randy dkay sitting in for carol costello. the strong hold inside iraq and syria, even the commander-in-chief now admits the terror group was more powerful than first received. well, i think our head of the intelligence community, jim clapper, has acknowledged they underestimated what had been taking place
washington, a community in pain after a school shooting. we just learned that two 14-year-old girls are being treated at one hospital and that they are in critical condition. we ve seen tears, we ve seen anger. they are just just grieving. right now i think they are just settled in. things are quiet. they know the circumstances. they re hoping for the best. but the next three days are going to be crucial. these young people are being monitored moment by moment. they have a nurse at their bedside constantly. a doctor is very nearby constantly. all the neurosurgeons have rounded this morning and they ll be here rounding throughout the day. but this will be a process. it takes we won t know a whole lot more for the next two or three days. two other victims are being treated at a second hospital and earlier today that hospital said a 14-year-old boy is still in serious condition and a 15-year-old boy is in critical condition. witnesses say 14-year-old jaylen fryberg opened fire and then shot and killed himself. outside providence regional medical center where the two 14-year-old girls are being treated, susan candiotti, what can you tell us? well, no one could have expected it and it will take some time for them to recover from it. i was speaking to a student who was a junior at the high school to told me and this is pretty chilling that he had a conversation with the suspect at the beginning of the day. they said he seemed perfectly normal, content. they did discuss that he had recently returned from school after a suspension. authorities don t know what the motive is in this case at this time, but this is one thing that we ll be looking at. he was suspended according to witnesses after he got into a fight at a football practice with someone who had made some comments to him, allegedly comments that amounted to bullying. some call them racist comments. and this is what the junior told me about his brief conversation with the shooter yesterday morning. it was a moment just to kind of follow up on what was going on in his life. like i said, i wasn t i m not haven t ever been that close to him but i ve spoken with him and talk to him like i do to other people that i see around school. i just told him, like i said, to talk to me, come talk to me if he ever needs anything. and his final words that he said to me about what had happened with the fight, he said it was an act of anger or it was an act of aggression and he should have used his words. those were the last words he had really spoken to me and it really hit me pretty hard. reporter: and yet the suspected shooter in this case was also the prince of home coming recently and is describedsdescribed as a leader in the school. they re looking at tweets that he left that might give authorities some clues about what happened here. the school meantime closed for the week, no school activities, they ve been cancelled, too, as this community trying to come together. obviously it will take some time to heal. susan, what about jaylen fryberg s family? what if anything are they willing to elaborate on in terms of his behavior leading up to yesterday and even now after the shooting? well, they re not saying anything at this time, at least his immediate family lives on a native american reservation in the area. and although a grandfather of one of the shooting victims did speak outside a church service on friday night and said that it s hard for them to comprehend what happened since at least two of the shooting victims are relatives of this young man. so everyone is trying to wrap their arms around what happened here. no one has any answers. it s very difficult. now a law enforcement source also tells me that the 40 caliber handgun that was used, a semiautomatic handgun, belonged to the father. this is also something that authorities are looking into. all right, susan candiotti, keep us posted there from everett, washington. appreciate it. still ahead, what it takes to track down people who may have come in contact with dr. craig spencer, the infected ebola patient. we ll go live to atlanta with the ebola detectives. fifteen percent or more fifon car insurance.d save you everybody knows that. well, did you know certain cartoon characters should never have an energy drink?

we re told that he s in stable condition, that he s able to chat on his cell phone. all in all he has a terrible virus, of course, but he s in pretty good shape. it would have the most populated states, new york and new jersey, are stepping up their efforts against ebola, announcing a possible quarantine or hospitalization for any airline passenger coming in from a west african nation hit hard by the deadly virus. a mandatory quarantine would go into effect for travelers who had direct contact with an infected person. we want to consider a person s risk level by considering the geographic area of origin or level of exposure to the viruvirus. this comes as officials continue to look for calm. the patient continues to be stable at bellevue hospital where he remains hospitalized on the isolation unit. the 33-year-old doctor returned last week after treating ebola patients in guinea with doctors without borders. three people in contact with the doctor have been quarantined, including his fiancee. s a haz-mat crews work to decontaminate his apartment, officials continue to look for those he may have come in contact with. on wednesday, just one day before his diagnosis with ebola, he was out and about in new york, visiting a brooklyn bowling alley, going for a jog and riding the subway. the metropolitan transit authority released a statement listing their procedures about isolating and disinfecting rail cars to help calm new york commuters, adding that it s safe to travel. this amid good news from the national institutes of health in bethes bethesda, maryland. dallas nurse nina pham is ebola free. this has been a very stressful situation for me and my family. i have my health back. reporter: exactly when she turned the corner is hard to pinpoint but the blood transfusion from dr. brantly could be a factor. when you have so many different factors at the same time, it s virtually impossible to say that this is the thing that did it and this is the this evening that didn t do it. reporter: pham was invited to the white house where she received a hug from president obama in the oval office. and amber vinson no longer has the virus detected in her blood and she remains under close watch. i ve been talking to brave nurses and doctors who risked their lives to work with ebola patients. they say they won t do it again if they know that they re going to be quarantined when they arrive back in new york and new jersey. they say, look, we ve taken a month off or so to take care of folks in africa. to have another three weeks where we can t take care of our patients back home and can t see our families, that would be too much. fred? elizabeth, stick around because we want to bring in dr. celine gounder. when you see nurse pham who is being discharged and you heard dr. fauci say she didn t even get one of the experimental treatments, what does this tell you about the way you can treat or handle ebola patients. it doesn t seem like there s a straight-line method. it doesn vary, doesn t it? i think if people come for treatment promptly, ebola is treatable in this country. not everybody is going to die, far from that. the on person who has died from ebola so far is thomas eric dunk a duncan. there was a tremendous delay in starting his treatment. all of that is essential to treating ebola patients. so it s fair to say that hospital really failed him because they didn t fully assess everything he had presented, his condition or even the information that he gave them. they didn t know what to do or how to identify it. but now you have a host of hospitals across the country. you have a number of hospitals in many states that are saying we can handle an ebola patient. how do those hospitals say that confidently so that people understand and believe them when they say that they re ready? i think you re going to see a similar approach to what s been taken in new york state. in new york state, a number of different hospitals have been identified as ebola referral centers. here you have bellevue, mount sinai, presbyterian. and the advantage of doing that is the cdc can target its training efforts at those specific hospitals. they re tertiary care centers, they have icus and other high levels of care. we can also assure that the appropriate protocols and guidelines are being followed. elizabeth, in new york i believe it eight hospitals have made it very public that they can handle ebola patients, bellevue included there and some of the others that were just monies mentioned. but when you have states like new jersey and new york who take it upon themselves who say we re going to issue these mandatory quarantines for these medical workers, mandatory 21-day quarantines, it almost sounds like there is no longer that cooperation on a local and federal level. might that be problematic? well, i think there s two difference things that we re talking about. one is new jersey and new york s desire to quarantine perfectly healthy health care workers who couldn t give anyone ebola, whether that s really a smart decision. and the second thing is once someone does have ebola, whether it s a health care worker or someone else, remember thomas eric duncan was not a health care worker, who is ready to handle it and who is not ready to handle it? dr. gounder said it well. some hospitals have drilled and prepared, have had training and have thought through the best way to do this. i would add one more thing, that you need to have a staff, particularly a nursing staff, that wants to do this. you need to have a staff that feels comfortable that they know the precautions to take. in nebraska those nurses felt comfortable. they were part of a team, they felt prepared. you have to have a staff that feels prepared. they are the ones who are risking their lives. dr. cohen, dr. gounder, thank you. and a hatchet attack now ruled an act of terror. we ll talk about that next. where the reward was that what if tnew car smelledit card and the freedom of the open road?

yes, i certainly would agree with that. there are a number of factors that are really contributed to this lone wolf trend. for one thing it s more difficult for established terrorist groups to mound operations because there s really been massive homeland security apparatus erected after 9/11. moreover, there s much more intrusive surveillance so technology works against a lot of these established terror groups. on the other hand, these terrorist movements have taken advantage of the internet and other forms of the new media and they re able to absorb people who sympathize with their message. do you think this is really like the strategy of a group like isis, to try to appeal to someone who is bold enough to do it on their on or isis and groups like it have just become kind of benefactors or people enamored by the idea or their interest is sparked by way of what they re seeing from isis and other groups and they decide to take it upon themselves with no direct affiliation with a group and then just carry out an attack? well, both things that you said are true. on the one hand, groups like the islamic state and al qaeda, they do have outreach programs. for example, al qaeda has an online english magazine called inspire. americans are featured in that. so, yes, they make a choice, they make a decision to reach out to these sympathizers. on the other hand, a lot of the lone wolf terrorists follow events around the world, for example, u.s. air strikes in syria and some of them become radicalized, they re disaffected by these policies and they undertake these attacks on their own initiative. this makes it a lot more difficult for law enforcement counterterrorism groups to identify this lone wolf, to identify and spot whether someone is up to something before it actually happens. yes, i agree. because when there are fewer people involved, it s less likely that the plot is going to be foiled by intelligence. on the other hand, these lone wolves do not live in a vacuum. often times they express their views on platforms such as facebook. they come into family members and with people with whom they work. and so bragging sends up a red flag possibly? absolutely. george michael, thank you so much. appreciate it. thank you, ma am. still to come, just days ago jaylen fryberg was named homecoming prince at his high school. so what turned him into a killer?

what turned a popular students into a killer? some signs may point to his activity online. cnn s ken law investigates. reporter: social media shows two images of jaylen fryberg. he loved the outdoors, smiling here fishing on a boat and in other pictures hunting. this picture on instagram shows him holding a rifle. this is not a weapon believed to have been used in the fatal school shooting. fryberg seems to love his family writing probably the best birthday present ever, i just love my parents. but turn to twitter and a second, more troubling image appears. in recent months the freshman tweeted multiple times a day, it breaks me, it actually does. i know it seems like i m sweating it off and i never will be able to. i m tired of this [ expletive ], i m so [ expletive ] done. and before the shootings he wrote this, it won t last, it will never last. a friend of the shooter said that horrific incident came out of nowhere. i heard his girl friend broke up with him. the tweets that everyone s been retweeting throughout the last couple of days of their conversation has been pretty brutal honestly. so like that could have been affecting it. and now to the latest ebola case in the u.s. health officials are actively tracing all the people who may have had contact with dr. craig spencer. nick is live at the cdc in atlanta. how is the progress of being able to locate all of the people that he may have had contact with? it s certainly a race against the clock for the cdc medical detectives who are tasked with figuring out who may have had contact with dr. craig spencer. it really starts with spencer, where he may have been. they either isolate and quarantine those contacts or deem them not a risk to the public safety and they may monitor them for this 21-day incubation period, making sure their fever doesn t spike, things like that. in spencer s case, he had at least two direct contacts, his fiancee and his friend. they say so far they re being monitored and they re doing well. and you re near the hospital where amber vinson is being treated. what is her condition in. we got the latest update. she s one of two dallas nurses who contracted the virus while treating thomas duncan. amber vinson s latest round of blood tests came back clear. we don t know if her release is imminent. the releases about her condition have been sparse from emory hospital. we ll be sure to stay on her condition throughout the week. nick valencia, thank you so much. you bet. teen girls taking off from a denver neighborhood allegedly on a mission to join isis. how the terror group recruits young people and what the u.s. can do to stop it, coming up. i lost my sight in afghanistan, but it doesn t hold me back. i go through periods where it s hard to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. non-24 is a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70% of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. narrator: these are the skater kid: whoa narrator: that got torture tested by teenagers and cried out for help. from the surprised designers. who came to the rescue with a brilliant fix male designer: i love it narrator: which created thousands of new customers for the tennis shoes that got torture tested by teenagers. the internet of everything is changing manufacturing. is your network ready?

that s what a lot of people are trying to find out right now. we ll tell you what happened and what s next for these girls from denver, colorado. reporter: as friends describe it, sisters, just 15 and 17 years old, along with their 15-year-old friend were so determined to join isis, they were halfway to syria before they were stopped, thanks to the father of the 15-year-old who discovered their plans after looking at his daughter s computer. he called authorities and contacted his friend, state representative daniel kagan. she had been tweeting to her friends and discussing this plan to go to syria and strike a blow for justice, as they saw it. reporter: authorities say when they were stopped at germany, they had their passports, some clothes and about $2,000 they d stolen from their parents. the girls are you are back in the united states and back at home with their families. she had no idea what she was getting involved in. reporter: at the apartment complex where the sisters lived, neighbors say they re concerned with the possibility that the girls will do something against the u.s. since they weren t able to fight for isis. if they knew what they were doing, i m really concerned. they could just pick up arms any time now and go around the schools or wherever and show up at school and just start killing people. reporter: these aren t the first colorado teens with aspirations to join jihad. 19-year-old shannon connolly was arrested in april on her way to syria. she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorist organization. the three teen-agers are not expected to face charges, in part because they re minors. kagan said he believes the girl were recruited online. according to intelligence estimates, more than 100 americans have joined isis to fight in iraq and syria. is there a concern that one or more of these girls will do something down the line? well, that s a legitimate concern, and this is why the fbi is going into extraordinary depth as to how this came about, what has happened since they were apprehended. what how much do the girls involved feel an affiliation with this corrupted ideology that has been pedalled to them? reporter: none of the girls has returned to school. both sets of parents are cooperating with authorities as the investigation continues. so now we know what happened but the bigger question is why? jeff gardier is a clinical psychologist and welcome to both of you. teen-agers, some can be lacking in self-esteem and that makes them more vulnerable to making decisions aren t the best. do we think that isis is using that kind of information to try to target the more vulnerable young people? and i think that s exactly what is happening. looking at the weaknesses, perhaps where they feel there s a lack of family, these youngsters now can latch on to something that offers them significance, that offers them a freedom that they ve never had, perhaps some of these girls are raised in very restrictive homes and now they are able to have this individualation, where the fact now they feel completely insignificant and lost and unhappy. you know, you can speak to these threats directly because you came close to becoming radicalized yourself. what would lead these young girls to take such a drastic step? is it as simple that they re seeing via youtube or social media the promises that isis is making, you will get freedom, martyrdom if you join us? and match that would what seem to be their access to the reality of what isis does. how could they be, i guess, duped or tricked like this? well, the professor is absolutely right in terms of the psychology, individual and groups. these are things that scientists have studied for some time. but especially in the case of muslim girls, like the professor said, bring up in very strict homes. they like the jihadi bad boys. these guys are on videos, they re shooting guns, they re looking macho, looking like heros. this looks attainable. and the other side, they see this and recruit these girls online, like a child groomer or sexual offender would promise them relationships, gifts and treats and what not. a lot of these women now are seeing when they get there, it s a very different reality than what the brochure showed them. so what would be your advice to counterterrorism professionals who would try to stand in the way of any more recruitment. what could they do, that entity do to try to better inform a lot of these young people who are the more vulnerable to not get roped in to wanting to join isis? mubin? i think the solution is really collaboration and cooperation with community organizations, to have the community organizations mobilize parents, to have parents understand that the parents don t want to see their 14-year-old girl gone the next day, you know, to a place like syria or to join a group like isis. parents need to have a more positive approach with their children. in a lot of these cases you have cultural communities where the old world culture and new world culture is in complete clash, and this is not going to go away so easily. this is a challenge of integration. sometimes the government is not best equipped to intervene at certain points. okay. so also to know where we can i m going to have to leave it there because our signal is pretty spotty there. and jeff gardere, thanks to you well. appreciate it. all right. nfl teams are getting ready for a big game on sunday, but the commissioner might have his mind elsewhere. why he may have to testify about what he knew about the ray rice domestic abuse scandal next. fiancee in the face in an elevator. the players union has repealed that. roger goodell could be forced to reveal what he knew about the ray rice scandal and when he knew it. according to multiple reports, an arbitrator is telling the the nfl commissioner he must testify next month when ray rice appeals his indefinite suspension. both side agreed to let barbara s. jones hear the hearing, which is not related to any criminal case. the nfl benched rice after he knocked his then fiancee unconscious in an atlantic city elevator in february. rice was originally suspended for two games, but his punishment was extended in september after a more detailed video was released showing rice punching and dragging palmer. goodell is expected to face questions about what they talked about when the two met over the summer. rice s lawyers argued the nfl and ravens violated a collective bargaining agreement. rice s appeal hearing is set for november 5th and 6th. thanks so much. i m joined now by sports attorney, david cornwell and a new york by sports analyst, keith reed, glad both of you can be with me. david, to you first, you used to be an attorney for the nfl. this is rare to see the commissioner testify in this matter. what does this mean big picture? this means we re going to get a window into the disciplinary process. we ve never been able to see. i ve been on both sides representing the commissioner and players asking that the commissioner be compelled the testify. we ve never been able to see into the commissioner s mind regarding the disciplinary process and one thing with roger, commissioner goodell, he actually talks with a lot of people before he composes discipline, but he s never had to testify. so, in this case, he is, he is going to have to answer what was the difference between the two-game suspension when you see that the fiancee was being dragged out the elevator and all that changed to an indefinite suspension once the internal elevator tape was revealed. he is going to be pressed on how much, have you seen this before, what did you think preceded the young lady being dragged out of the elevator and how do you go from two-game suspension to indefinite? here s where lawyers become lawyers. a single question. what did you think happened when you imposed two games and what was different when you saw the video of the elevator? now, that single question will take four hours. they ll be asking that question from every angle because it really is what this is all about. seeing this young lady being pulled out of the elevator unconscious leaves anybody to conclude that something happened in that elevator that rendereder unconscious. now that we see what happened, why are you increasing the discipline? so, keith, what s also difficult here, perplexing maybe to a lot of people is that punishment is really at the diskrex of the commissioner. that is in the policy, so, if the commissioner says this is what i saw fit at the time, this is what i thought prior to the events of seeing the entire tape, so, you know, this is the way i see it and the policy supports my you know, discretion. sure. and i ve said since the beginning of this whole matter that the real issue with all of this in the nfl is the fact that the commissioner is judge, jury and executioner. he answers to no one. he s not used to answering to anybody and this is an instance in which he s been criticized over and over and over again for how arbitrary his disciplinary decisions have seemed to be and it s coming back to bite him. so much of this is about how trans parent the nfl is not. and so much of this is about how fair the process doesn t seem to be when roger goodell and roger goodell alone hands out punishments for things and does not explain those decisions. this is the first time he s ever going to be compelled to have to explain it and that s going to be as interesting as what happens to ray rice going forward. is this a start of a transparency or is this just you know, a blip on the screen, this is how it s being handled now x but don t expect every case is going to be with this kind of transparency. from our perspective, the media, we look for one size fits all solutions. roger s power, best interest of the game power, goes back to the 1920s and the black sox game. every commissioner in sports has the best interest of the game authority, which is absolute. you don t have to answer to anybody. that s why you re the commissioner. that s not going to change. but what will change is the manner in which we deal with domestic violence. perhaps the manner in which we review his decisions, but he will not nor should he give up his authority to act in the best interest of the game because that s why we have successful leagu leagues in all of the sports, because of the commissioner s ability to lead based on his understanding of the best interest of the game. this is a private business. this is not congress. this is we get to look at it like that, but it s a private business and he s responsible for leading it. so, keith okay, go ahead. the roll here is for ray rice to be reinstated, is this the path in which he must go in order for that to happen and then go ahead, keith. on your other xhept, too, what david just said. to answer your question, yes, this is the path that s out. they have to go through this arbitration process, although there s a big question as to whether or not ray rice will play again because getting reinstated doesn t mean any team has to sign you. what i wanted to challenge a little earlier, was this idea that the nfl is strictly a private business and that the best thing for the league is roger goodell acting on his own. listen, roger goodell acting on his own is the reason we re here. he didn t necessarily act in the best interest of the league. he didn t do this thing that was right for everybody involved and he hasn t acted on domestic violence in the way he should have going back to belcher, who killed somebody and then killed himself. public subsidies and all kinds of things that you can t just look at them like they re a private business and we re hands off. we ll have to leave it right there. got a quick comment on that? again, one size fits all. all these circumstances are different. that s why we have commissioners with the authority to determine what s in the best interest of the league. thanks to both of you. we ve got a lot to fill on that. thanks so much. i appreciate it. and new information on those injured in yesterday s school shooting. that school shooting in washington state. why did a popular freshman shoot his cousins and peers?

dallas with ebola, nina pham, is now in maryland. she arrived overnight. she was taken by ambulance to the national institute of health in bethesda. now we are getting our first glimpse of pham. this video was taken in texas just before she left. her doctor made a video and uploaded it to youtube. pham asked him to. thanks for being part of the volunteer program to be our first patient. this is a huge effort by all of you guys. we re really proud of you. all right. come to maryland. everybody. party in maryland? party in maryland. okay. i m no doctor, but the best thing i can see there is a laugh from nina pham. she is sitting up. i hope that improves from here. cnn s brian todd is outside the hospital where pham is treated at this moment in maryland with more. reporter: nina pham, the 26-year-old nurse who contracted the ebola virus from thomas eric duncan has arrived here at the national institute of health right behind me. got here a short time ago and is being treated in building ten. the special clinical studies unit at nih. a high containment isolation unit where she will be treated indefinitely until her recovery is complete. this unit is very highly specialized. everybody who comes in contact with nina pham will be wearing haz-m haz-mat gear and isolation gowns and special equipment. the air inside her room is highly isolated. running what they call powered air purifying respirators in her room. that means no air from the outside will get into her room and her room s air will not get to the outside. this unit is very highly specializ specialized. this is where she will receive treatment over the next several days and weeks. as to the actual treatment, that is classified. officials will not reveal the drug protocols or treatment that she willing getting. we can tell you the nih, the facility is now on the frontlines of the fight against ebola on two fronts. number one, treating nina pham here, but this facility is testing out an ebola vaccine. one of two places in the united states testing the vaccine out for the first time on humans. brian, thanks. contradictory reports of when the second nurse infected with ebola, amber vinson started to feel sick. her uncle said she was fine the whole time in cleveland, but an official with knowledge of the case, said vinson felt fatigued in ohio. that led officials to reach out to the passengers on her flight. a bridal shop vinson was in while in cleveland is closed for precautions. and the texas hospital being slammed for treating those with the disease. brianna aguilla said the hospital failed to protect the employees with the equipment and training they needed. if you are in there with an ebola patient and your life is on the line and your family safety is at risk, you should have the number to anyone. the number to obama administration to get you whatever you need to perform that job safely. i m not satisfied with any answer that the hospital has to offer at all. texas health presbyterian responded with a statement saying it is committed to a safe and healthy workplace for its employees. it adds, it has a strict non retaliation policy on employee feedback. president obama says the travel ban to ebola-stricken countries is not the way to go. he said a travel ban may create more problems than it solved. he left the door open to the possibility. i don t have a philosophical objection to the travel ban if that keeps the american people safe. the problem is in all of the discussions i had thus far with experts in the field, experts in infectious disease is that a travel ban is less effective than the measures that we are currently instituting. the president did not rule out appointing an ebola czar. he said it may be useful. now that cdc director tom frieden faced a grilling on capitol hill. members from both parties were asking how two nurses contracted the ebola virus while treating patients. do we know whether or not the protocol works? the investigation is ongoing. we identified some possible causes. we are not waiting for the investigation to be we don t know? okay. ebola fears heightening in europe. four new suspected cases

the air support from extremists taking over the city. pentagon officials say it is possible kobani will fall to isis, but a spokesperson john kirby said air strikes are making a difference. we have made it harder for isil to sustain itself and to operate. they are continuing to feel the pressure which is one of the reasons why we think they are going after kobani so badly. i think part of it is they want a win. cnn has learned a state department official met last weekend with representatives of the syrian kurdish democratic union party. those forces have been fighting on the ground in kobani. it is not clear if the united states is prepared to offer military direct assistance to the group. it is a diplomatic avenue open to forces on the ground fighting in syria. i want to bring in nick paton walsh on the ground in syria. good morning, nick. reporter: john, a comparatively quiet morning so far. we understand overnight, clashes to the far east of the city and to the south. i have just heard what sounded like exchange of heavy gunfire to the west hill that the kurds took a few days ago. yes, in the last 72 hours, we have known over 50 coalition air strikes that have hit this town. it has been remarkable to observe, the extent of the fire power deployed against the town where a week ago officials were saying it was not that strategically significant. something changed in the u.s. calculatio calculations. the situation changed where the kurds were confident and can hold for now while tv cameras are on that city. kobani is a benefit for the u.s. as it tries to talk out operations with turkey and the issue of what to do with the kurdish city which is no longer the center of the situation. you mentioned the official has met with the official of the syrian kurdish group. for the u.s. air exploring all avenues and it seems for now, air power is slowing isis advance. have to see if it holds. nick paton walsh on the border. thank you. time for an early start on

we talked about this and how different this system is in south africa. in the united states, there are sentencing guidelines. any official parameters here for how long he could or might serve in prison? reporter: no. there are no statutory parameters. there are only common law parameters. in other words, she is bound by the guidance issued from other cases that have come before. it can be anything from a non-custodial sentence or supervision. it is all down to both legal teams now to convince her where on that very broad spectrum this case should be placed. his demeanor has been an issue since the beginning of the trial. what is it like right now? reporter: he was incredibly emotional when barry roux was speaking about the impact of the case has had on him. he has seemed to gather himself again. in fact, when noll started with the aggression, it seemed to bring anger out in mr. pistorius as well. kelly phelps for us in pretoria. thank you. we will check back in with you over the next few days. developing news in hong kong this morning. hundreds of police with shields and wire cutters launched a dawn raid on a protest camp blocking a major intersection for weeks. police tore down blocks and barricades. many protesters did not put up resistance. they occupy a major thoroughfare. the youngest son of vice president joe biden was discharged from the navy in february for testing positive for cocaine. the 44-year-old biden is now a manager partner in the inve investment firm. we have the giants and the royals in the world series. andy scholes has the details in the bleacher report next. a mouth breather! how do you sleep like that?

president obama opening the door to lead the charge on the virus of and why he will not ban flights. welcome back. i m john berman. it is friday. it is 30 minutes past the hour. i m christine romans. the first dallas nurse infected with ebola nina pham arrived in maryland. she was taken to the national health institute in bethesda. we are getting a glimpse of her in her hospital room. her doctor made this video at pham s request. thanks for being part of the volunteer team to take care of the first patient. this means a lot. this has been a huge effort by all of you guys. we re really proud of you. all right. come to maryland. everybody. party in maryland. party in maryland. okay. two things about that. she is holding up her head and laughing. it shows they are a real team. love to hear the laughter. we have cnn s brian todd outside the hospital in maryland where pham is being treated. he has more for us. reporter: nina pham, the 26-year-old nurse who contracted ebola from thomas eric duncan has arrived here at the national institute of health behind me. got here a short time ago and is being treated in building ten. the special clinical studies unit at nih. a high containment, isolation unit where she will be treated indefinitely until her recovery is complete. everybody who commenes in conta with nina pham will be wearing haz-mat suits and the air in her room is highly isolated. a powered air purifying respirators in her room. that means no air from the outside will get into her room and her room s air will not get to the outside. this unit is specialized and she will receive treatment for the next several days and weeks. as to the actual treatment, that is classified. officials here will not reveal to us the specific drug protocols or other specific treatment she will be getting. what we can tell you is the nih, this facility is now on the frontlines on the fight against ebola on two fronts. number one, treating nina pham here, but this facility is also testing out an ebola vaccine. one of two places in the united states testing the vaccine out for the first time on humans. very important work. thank you, brian. there are contradictory reports of the second nurse with ebola, amber vinson, when she started to feel sick. her uncle said she was feeling fine in cleveland, but an official with knowledge of the case said vinson felt fatigued and achy in cleveland. the prospect has led health officials reach out to passengers on vinson s flight to cleveland and those who flew back with her to texas. and the bridal shop she visited in ohio has closed as a precaution. a nurse at texas health presbyterian slamming the hospital s readiness to treatment ebola patients. brianna aguirre talked to anderson cooper. i feel if you are in there with an ebola patient and your life is on the line and your family safety is at risk, you should have the number to anyone. you should have the number to obama administration to get you whatever you need to perform that job safely and i m not satisfied with any answer that the hospital has to offer at all. texas health presbyterian responded with a statement saying it is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace to employees. it has a strict non retaliation policy. an american on a cruise ship has entered volunteer quarantine for ebola according to belize. it is a dallas health care worker carrying the specimen for ebola. belize says it has decided not to help evacuate the passenger. president obama says a ban on travel to the united states from the ebola-stricken countries from west africa is not the way to go. the president met on thursday with tom frieden and lisa monaco and others. he told reporters that a travel ban would create more problems than it solved. he said he would leave the door open slightly to the possibility. i don t have a philosophical objection to the travel ban if that will keep the american people safe. the problem is that in all of the discussions i had thus far with experts in the field, experts in infectious disease, is that a travel ban is less effective than the measures that we are currently instituting. the president did not rule out appointing an ebola czar. cdc director tom frieden faced a tough grilling on capitol hill yesterday. house members from both sides of the aisle pressing him to explain how two texas nurses could have contract the ebola from the patient and how the government will prevent a larger deadly outbreak of the disease. was it a breakdown of training in the proptocolprotoc. the investigation is ongoing. we identified some possible causes. we are not wait for the investigation. we don t know. okay. isis militants trying to make good on a vow to destabilize baghdad. they setoff two car bombs wounding 34 and killing 14. cnn s ben wedeman is live for us in baghdad. ben, what s the latest this morning?
