wolf converts that are seeing both here in canada, d.c. all across the country. i want to ask you about the situation that's unfolding as we see it here. in the break we were talking about this news. as it was happening and folks in our studio were saying it's happening more and more. is it? is that our perception. is it because we have television cameras everywhere or is it happening more often. colonel, go ahead. >> well, yes, absolutely. and we're prisoners of these events. look at what's happening right now. we have to cover this breaking news not a topic we planned on and it's important people want to know. there's an ugly circle game that goes on. whether it's jihadis or whoever this turns out to be. a punk shooter, a crazy person, we have to cover it. by doing so, we make them famous. so you get more copycats, whether

they're islamist copycats and lone wolves or there's kids who think about of the other school shootings, the theater shootings, and they want their moment of glory. and we give it to them and there's nothing much we can do about it because people want the coverage. melissa: it's not just that the people want the converge, it's the media's responsibility. if you have a child, you want to know that this is going on so you can talk to your children about how to protect themselves. but i hear your point, in both topics we continue to have do you want events. as a result of what we're seeing on tv. (?) >> thanks for having me on. i don't want to say this attack had anything to do with radical islam. but let's point out something here, that we know isis is appealing to mentally disturbed and descraingd individuals the same people who commit these kinds of attacks.

it would be irresponsible to say there is a direct tie. we have to recognize there are people like this in this country and isis is looking for them. melissa: let's move on to one, again, we're wondering is there a tie? the man with the axe in new york city. left two new york city police wound. police shot thomas in the bureau of queens after he repeatedly hit officers with an axe. but it was the third in person attack on people with uniforms. they haven't drawn any official ties to what happened in canada. but here's the concern, these are lone wolf attacksers on this man's facebook page, you know, he was embracing radical jihadis, if nothing else, they're identifying with what is goggles where what's going on in the world. maybe it's bringing out people who are already

unbalanced and inspiring them to take action. how do you battle against that? >> it's hard. the lone wolves are the hardest to get that. the islamist terrorists still want to do these grand plots like 9/11. they have a lot of moving parts. but how do you get the guy. how do you find a guy who radicalizes himself in the basement. passively looks at jihadi websites. maybe never communicates with someone in the middle east. he has this website with jihadi slogans. is he a terrorist or not or not? you don't have a union card to be an islamic terrorist. melissa: at the same time, you can't go and follow or arrest or, you know, spend time tracking every single person that goes to and is interested in or tempted by these websites. fred, how do we deal with that? how do you balance those things? >> we need surveillance. we need tips from the

public. we know many of these plots have been stopped because of tips from friends and family. suspicious activities. we've had tips from people in mosques of individuals who should not have been there. i'm concerned that some of the counter terrorism efforts that we've been engaged in under the bush administration surveillance of mosques that were pushing radical ideology, that has stopped under the obama administration. we have to look at our efforts to find these individuals and maybe resume some of these programs. melissa: all right. thanks to both of you. let's go to nicole petallides on the floor of new york stock exchange. i want to go another check on markets in spite of everything going on markets are holding up. nicole, what's behind the trade before? >> we're about 12 points off the highs of the day. what's interesting about the trade of the day. the trade we've seen all week this trade continues to show resill i can't even say. yesterday we were up over 300 points.

melissa: we're keeping an eye on this shooting in high school. you're looking at marysville-pilchuck high school that is in washington state. six students are said to be injured there. the school is on lock down. after shots were fired, students had been evacuated. we'll bring you more details as we get them. the messenge emergence of ebola in new york city has left more questions than answered. he road the subway before testing positive for the virus. concerns continue to mount. what should you do if you think you have come in contact with an ebola patient? what should employers do to protect their workers? bruce toll began along with attorney paul. bruce, this is one of the questions we were

asking in our morning meeting today, saying this doctor, he went to a hot zone. he knew he had been exposed not that he had it. he knew he had been around it. he came back to work. the hospital he worked at, had to have known he had come from a place why he had come in contact with bodily fluids with people with ebola. did they have a responsibility? are they liable if other workers and patients get sick now? what do you think, bruce? >> leaders and managers first and foremost have a fundamental responsibility to keep the workplace safe for their workers and for vendors and customers as well. so they certainly should have been on notice. and this is a matter of public health and safety. so, of course, it's -- it goes well beyond that workplace. for business leaders, this is a matter of emergency preparedness. it should be a signal to

any business, what is your emergency preparedness process? does everybody know about it? melissa: paul, is the hospital where he works now liable because they had to know where he was coming from? should they have told him he's not allowed to come back to work before the 21 day period? >> this isve new world for employers. this disease is unlike any other. it's not like hiv. it's certainly not like cancer and many others. the things we'll have to see -- to answer your question, the employer has a responsibility as bruce said to the workers. if the employer knew this individual went to liberia, and came back and was servicing and dealing with patients, that's a problem. and the employer has to take action in order to deal with that. the employers would be relegated to workers' compensation coverage if they get sick on the job. they'll be limited to what they can do.

an employer has to protect the workers, protect the public. melissa: let's talk about discrimination then. bruce, so you're an employer and you know someone -- say they're not a doctor they're coming back from a hot zone. are you within your rights to ask that person to stay home for a while or are you violating that person's right to work? >> i don't want to speak to the legal issues although i'm a lawyer. from my perspective, based on everything we know, look, imagine it's the flu. if you're somebody's boss and you have an employee who comes in with the flu. melissa: can you tell them to go home? >> you have a responsibility to the rest of the employees there to keep them safe, and i think absolutely it's appropriate to send an employee home with the flu because, you know what, he or she isn't going to do a lot of work anyway and they'll get everybody sick. melissa: paul, what about the school in vermont where they had a teacher who had been to texas and they told that she couldn't

come to school because she had been to texas where they had ebola. can you get yourself in trouble for telling someone to stay home like that? >> i think an employer has to under these particular circumstances, the way this disease kills people, something has to be done. they'll be well within their rights to do something within their circumstances. melissa: i'll leave it there. we're heading into the last hour of trading. let's check in with cheryl. >> good afternoon, melissa. we had a lot of breaking news this afternoon. of course, we'll be monitoring that school shooting that happened out in washington state. get some more details right now. we know two of those students have been airlifted to seattle. we're looking at the latest issue in ebola and the crisis there. and that, of course, this new york city hospital, this manhattan doctor has tested positive. we got the medical a team to tell us what they believe should be done to stop the ebola crisis. they have the answers.

and, of course, one of those guests is richard he's the former surgeon general of the united states. he's inextensively about the ebola crisis suspect as well as debbie from nyu school of medicine. both of them speaking throughout the day on what they think we need to be doing. we'll be keeping a close eye on the markets. we'll see how the numbers wrap up. we're up 111 points on the dow. this could be the first positive day for the market in five weeks and that's despite all the geopolitical news we've had breaking over the weekend, of course, what we've been dealing with in the united states with viedges violence and ebola. melissa: cheryl, thank you so much. money has been flying around the world. starting in japan where someone thought it was a good idea to build a nuclear power plant. right now near an active volcano. that is a fantastic

idea. that volcano, just 40 miles from the plant is showing signs of erupting. just last month in a different part of the country, japan had its worse volleying disaster in nearly 90 years. over to sweden, the search for a suspected russia submanner has been called off. after seven days of copping coming the area, the officials say the mystery vessel has likely left swedish waters. there you go. we are still following that school shooting in washington state. security expert mike baker will join us with more on that situation. we'll be right back

melissa: we have more breaking news right now on that shooting at marysville-pilchuck high school in washington. at least two students have been shot and they were airlifted to a

hospital in seattle. that is what you're looking at right there. that is the helicopter that airlifted them from the school. and you can see there that i don't know if they've already been unloaded. we're looking at the helicopter as it's come in from that school. the school on s lock down. mike baker joins us now on the phone. mike, what is your initial reaction to this? >> well, i mean, everybody has that same reaction when you hear about another school shooting and you think about all the tragic incidents in the past. beyond that, you're hoping for the best in that situation. i know that gun control advocates don't want to necessarily hear this one of the thoughts is, well, frankly we know, we don't need anymore. that the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun on the scene and responding immediately. i mean, that is what it involves and takes. they're able to feed the

access systems, the control systems that are in place whether it's the school or any other facility. we know the quickest way to try and resolve this is to have a response. melissa: we don't have a lot of details of what's happened in this situation as it's just unfolding before our eyes. one comment we were making earlier, it does seem this is happening more and more often. in fact in the area, you know, there was another school shooting in the region at seattle pacific university on june 5th where a gunman killed one disputant wound another. mike, is it happening more often? >> i mean, standard of carely, i don't know. that's beyond my pay grade. what i can say, the pervasiveness of the media, the instantaneous relay of information. the access to information, if it's not happening in reality more often, it certainly seems that way.

and school shootings are about as bad as gets. regardless the number of fatalities, this always, it bounces people back around. undoubtedly it then stems back to that constant debate about gun control or how best to stop these sort of incidents. melissa: yes, and we looking at law enforcement in the area. there are students out in the parking lot right now. we saw a moment ago, law enforcement sweeping the area looking for other people. we have seen reports online and elsewhere in the media that the gunman is deceased. (?) we are not confirming that. we don't know. we're just seeing reports of that as people are leaving. mike baker, thank you. six years later, a hope and change hang over for millennials. why democrats are struggling to keep the under 30 crowd interested. more money, coming up.

>> quick recap of events going on in washington right now. this is a shooting in marysville-pilchuck high school. two students were shot, airlifted to a hospital in seattle. the school is on lockdown, ambulances are surrounding the school, they're checking from room to room. we're keeping a very close eye on this. we're going to give you more details as we have them. less than two weeks before the midterm elections and democrat's problems are piling up, let's kick off with this one with millennials. the 18-34 age group no longer expected to caret party to victory like in previous elections. joined with national review's rich lowry, scott martin in chicago, and liza boyd of starbest partners. thank you for joining us. i'm not sure that was right. we'll keep going anyway. liza, with you, millennials, not carrying the weight for democrats? is that true? are they staying home or going
