ebola diagnosed on u.s. soil as we await an update from the cdc in atlanta. this as a family of ebola patient thomas duncan, confined to their dallas apartment under armed guard after they reportedly refused an order to not leave the premise, and the cdc confirming that a family member of duncan's called them on sunday complaining the hospital where he'd gone days before wasn't taking his case seriously enough. and that's not all. at last report that apartment where the liberian national was staying still has not been sanitized. his soiled sheets and dirty towels still there five days after he was rushed back to the hospital because health authorities have had trouble finding a cleanup crew. meantime, as duncan remains in isolation, health authorities in texas screening as many as 900 people -- 100 people he may have come in contact with since he flew to america two weeks ago. but the cdc says it believes
9:02 am
only a few of those people may have had the type of contact that can spread the virus. meantime, there's word of another, of other patients with possible ebola symptoms in washington, d.c., in utah and in hawaii. where do we take this story from here, brian? >> i tell you what, surface hawaii goes -- as far as hawaii goes, we asked the head of the cdc twice today, only worried about texas. they didn't say there's no problem. we haven't heard anything, we would have heard it by now. to me, can anything work? the president did the right thing a couple weeks ago, goes down and says, listen, what is the issue, are we handling it? the answer is, yes, we are handling it. turns out there's minimal chance of this spreading. turns out, it is spreading. was anyone honest with us? no. was this guy honest in liberia? no. did he go to the hospital and did he say i'm pretty sick? yes. did they tell him to go home? yes. so one by one by one this failure, failure, failure. at stake is life and death.
9:03 am
>> humans to tell the truth and humans to diagnose and humans to assess, it's going to be fraught with difficulties. you mentioned washington, d.c., this has just been released from howard university spokesperson, we can confirm that a patient has been admitted to the university hospital in stable condition following travel to nigeria and presenting symptoms that could be associated with ebola. we have activated the appropriate protocols. it goes on. our medical team continues to evaluate and monitor progress in close collaboration with the cdc and the department of health. so the circle widens. we'll have to see if this person tests positive, but it brings up all the issues of what you're talking about. we need to talk honestly with facts. >> i talked to a doctor this morning who said, no, we can't with 100% rule out this cannot be spread airborne. and i think that's the biggest problem, there's still so much uncertainty surrounding this disease, so much that we still don't know.
9:04 am
for people to speak out, including the cdc, so definitively on this disease, that, i think, is a scary thing. because we need to exercise the utmost precaution. not be scared and not run for the hills and not cause chaos, but we need to admit that we don't know everything about it. >> sandra, real quick, i want to talk to you about the commerce aspect of this. a lot of people are saying if we can't be sure, doesn't the government have an obligation to protect the citizens of this cub perhaps by -- this country by halting flights? >> they're not yet. the cdc has made it very clear that by law airlines can stop a passenger from flying if they do show, in this case, signs of ebola. but look at this man -- >> check the wrong box. >> look at what happened with this man. he was in the incubation period. he wasn't yet showing outward symptoms. >> he checked the wrong box or he lied. >> you know, the flight that he took came from europe -- >> but he originated from africa. >> but not on the same airline,
9:05 am
so how are they supposed to know? >> great point. >> there's no way to know, they think he's leaving there europe -- >> and he knew he'd been in the company of a woman who had died and had helped another yes man transfer -- gentleman transfer her, and the gentleman died. >> kirsten, you brought up a good point, no more flights from nigeria or lie -- liberia, they'll go to brussels and go from there. >> i'm very bothered by the fact they can't find a clean-up crew. how is that even possible? >> they showed up, but they didn't have the right contract. >> i mean, this should have beed be prepared for. >> i wonder about the nbc cameraman because he has a medical reporter with him. i'm sure she's educating him on don't touch -- >> yeah. >> so i'm wondering how did he get it? >> well, he was covering it and just to send a shout out, i know we're on different networks, but we're all here at the same cause, we're doing journalism. god bless those guys because

dr. schneiderman hats got to come back -- has got to come back and be quarantined for 21 days. he was supposed to join her as the second or third team member out there. she's been covering this so that we could see the story. but, yeah, this gets complicated. >> fearlessly going right into the center of all of this to try and bring the truth and bring information to the public. >> we've got to pretend that this is katrina. there's got to be a central command, everyone's got to answer -- >> and meanwhile, self-accountability. tell people you're not feeling well, wash your hands -- >> be honest. >> take care of yourself, your family and report any somes. the latest jobs numbers are out for september, the labor department saying 248,000 jobs were added last month, pushing the unemployment rate down to 5.9%, the lowest that it's been since july 2008. in spite of that, fox news polling shows just 43% of voters say that they feel the economy's getting better while 43% say it's getting worse. and on a personal level, that same polling finds just 24% of
9:07 am
americans feel their family is better off now than it was in 2008. while 28% say they're family is worse off. kirsten, you're going to have to try to make some sense of this for me. >> can you? >> so the unemployment dropped from 6.1 to 5.9%. headline number appears to be very good. however, when americans are asked, they just don't feel much better. >> well, it's great that it's dropped, but it's still a pretty high unemployment number, right? i mean, i don't think this means that business is booming and everybody has jobs, and i think there's also, you know, wage growth is pretty stagnant as well, so that speaks to how people feel about their income and whether they have enough money to pay for, pay their bills. and so i think as long as wages are stagnant, people -- regardless of what the jobs are doing -- are going to -- >> great point. so if they're earning less, they're not able to spend as much, and they're not affording the lifestyle that they had before. brian, there's also the factor of the unemployment rate can
9:08 am
sometimes come down when people stop looking for work. okay? >> right. >> because the unemployment rate, obviously, looks at those that are actually actively looking for work. >> right. i mean, the economic geniuses are on the fox business channel, and they don't like me, so i can't really get to there. [laughter] i'm only killing. you like me. they talk about participation, and they talk about people giving up, and they also say factor in the unemployment's been extended week after week after week, and there's food stashes which gives you a certain threshold. things change when they absolutely have to. do they absolutely have to if you're getting unemployment, if you're getting food stamps to pay your bills? does that raise the standard of a job you would expect because you already have a threshold of an income that's community based? >> it's a good point. because you're lacking some kind of catalyst -- >> kimberly, i have to assume that this is going to, you know, play into the hand possibly of democrats come elections that we are seeing an actual drop in that big headline rate that
9:09 am
everybody puts on the cover of the newspaper. >> oh, absolutely. this is going to be the top of the order for the domestic policy -- >> but not if you don't feel it, kim bearlerly. if you -- kimberly. >> and there are fox news polls that back up your point, lucky guy, that say people don't feel they're better off, they still have serious concern about the future, about the economics of the cup. but right now that is the only card the democrats can play because of everything else that's going on. >> last word. >> real quickly, i know that part of that statistic was 47% feel the same, so i scratch my head at that because really either side, republicans can work with that and say, well, that's because it didn't get better, and democrats can say, you know, it didn't get any worse. >> it's all about the spin. >> well, if we're not earning as much as we were before, it's still a tough type l for americans. -- time for americans. hillary clinton's new granddaughter already in the political spotlight, and her grandmother put her there using the infant in a speech on women empowerment. is it okay for her to use the newborn to gain political

democratic party as we learn about comments senator mark pryor of arkansas reportedly made at a private fundraiser. he was responding to something a donor said about senate majority leader harry reid. according to audio obtained by the washington free beacon, the donor blamed reid for congress' low approval rating to which pryor replied, quote: i think possibly the best thing that could happen to this institution would be if mitch mcconnell gets beat and harry reid gets replaced. we're told he then suggested chuck schumer of new york or mark begich of alaska should take his place. what do you think. >> >> well, begich is in trouble. he's in the fight of his life, one of the three senators listed in politico who are most likely, all of a sudden it's tilting away from them in a red state where he's a democrat. i just feel as though for america harry reid's been the worst leader possible. you have 300 bills from the house, whether you love them or hate them, you just block them, you refuse to do things, you use
