claiming to care for human lives actually care. thanks to all of you who weighed in with your thoughts today. that's going to do it for me in d.c. make it a great day. hello, everyone, happy saturday to you, welcome to america's news headquarters. >> topping the news this hour, part of the cdc newest strategy to help keep ebola from entering the u.s. is going into effect as we speak. jfk will be the first to check for sipz of the deadly virus among travelers beginning to enter the united states from africa. we have a live report. the president campaigned on a promise to close guantanamo bay and bring the prisoners here to the united states. well now a new report claims he's trying to get it done before he leaves office by going around congress. we'll discuss.

and a new medical breakthrough in cancer treatment, how miracle survivors of deadly diseases could help unlock the secret to the ultimate cure. >> we begin this saturday in syria where the u.s. military is trying to prevent a massacre. launching new air strikes overnight trying to keep bordertown of kobani from falling to isis terrorists. thousands could die if isis wins the battle. in iraq, isis militants are inching closer to baghdad. but u.s. officials say it's no big deal. peter is live in washington with an update from both countries. >> kurdish forces are doing all they can to defend kobani but need more assistance from the air. united states central command announced four air strikes to

the north of kobani which they say took out an isis command and control facility two isis units and two the south two more air strikes which they say destroyed three trucks used by isis fighters. despite the bombardment, militants have held several key strategic positions and continue moving cloegser to baghdad which would end up being bad news if more is not done to stop them. >> if they do take or disrupt the baghdad airport, that means american supply lines are cut off and that means even the civilian population are not getting the supplies they need. that starts to be reminiscent of saigon. >> the defense secretary leon panetta criticized for not leaving behind a small footprint of american forces on the ground in iraq. some experts are now trying to stop the swell of second

guessing. here's retired general wesley clark. >> i don't think that keeping a few thousand troops in iraq would have stopped isis and it wouldn't have fixed the iraqi forces. these are deep xis manies inside iraq and reflect the problem islam has. >> the state department says iraqi security forces protecting baghdad are strong and that they are pitching in with some american advisers to help protect u.s. personnel in the area just in case. back to you in new york. >> obviously there's been a lot of concern about the u.s. personnel in baghdad and northern iraq as well, one of the rns there are so many more troops on the ground. peter, thanks. >> the obama administration so far unable to persuade turkey to join the fight. turkish troops sit idle watching as kurdish fighters struggle to defend kobani. turkey will step in if the

united states creates a no fly zone. doing so would pull the u.s. deeper into the conflict, something the obama administration has vowed would not happen. >> obviously they've talked publicly about ground troops. when it comes to the buffer zone, no fly zone, they proposed these for some time. we're not considering the implementation of this option at this time. >> is the buffer zone the only way to prevent ap isis massacre? we'll have analysis later. >> in britain, concerns of a possible terror attack continue to rise. british forces are keeping a close eye on thousands of potential extremists. earlier this week authorities arrested five men for questioning about a possible terrorist plot. one of them recently returned from syria. about 500 britones are believed to have joined isis.

>> the push to prevent the ebola from entering the u.s. the screenings go into effect at jfk starting today. that is new york city's largest airport. travelers arriving from west africa are now being questioned and being checked for signs of illness. under new guidelines from the cdc, about 150 passengers a day arrive from that region and most flying into five busy airports, chicago o'hare, atlanta hartsfield-jackson, washington dulles and newark and half through jfk. brian is live to tell us more. >> reporter: well the first enhanced ebola screenings began at 5:00 a.m. this morning for all passengers traveling from the three west african nations most affected, guinea, liberia and sierra leone. first, the passengers will be given a cdc fact sheet on ebola

symptoms and escorted to a private screening where they have to give their contact information. at that point u.s. coast guard corps men will take their temperatures using infrared thermometers. if someone has a fever or shows signs of ebola or even has been in contact with someone with the virus, they'll be put into a quarantine room at the airport where it will be determined if they need more medical attention or be put in isolation. >> no exits or entry screening procedures will supplant the need for state and local health departments for clin gss and individuals to be aware and think ebola. think ebola if they develop signs and symptoms. we need to continue to remind people to think ebola if they have the signs and symptoms or fever and been in the infected area in the previous 21 days zpl

some say the screenings aren't effective, symptoms usually take eight to ten days to show and some are afraid passengers will either lion the questionnaire or try to mask fevers before boarding their flight. >> i think it may be reassuring to a lot of people. we don't have any perfect offenses, however. perhaps an imperfect offense is better than none at all but i don't know truflly how much it is going to add to our defenses. >> the cdc has admitted the new screening procedures would not have stopped thomas eric duncan from boarding the flight in liberia and coming to the u.s. and subsequently becoming the first person to die of ebola in this country. one last thing, the screening in west africa have and will continue before they even board their flights. 36,000 people have been screened. not one case of ebola has been found. anyone that's been stopped, it's

usually because they had symptoms of malaria, which is common in that region. >> thank you very much. >> several dozen united nations staff and military personnel in liberia are being closely watched for signs of ebola. part of the unpeace keeping mission in that country where a member of the medical team came down with ebola. that patient was flown to germany on thursday for treatment. the staff members will be watched now for a full three weeks. >> japan bracing for a powerful typhoon. u.s. military bases on the island of okinawa have been put on alert as the storm approaches. last week another powerful typhoon swept three u.s. servicemen out to sea killing at least one of them. now this second storm is bearing down fast. bringing travel by air and ground to an immediate halt. david piper is live with the

latest. >> reporter: typhoon vongfong is forces many to seek shelter. powerful winds and driving rains are already affecting the island of okinawa. power lines have been ripped down there leaving 17,000 homes without electricity. over a dozen people are reported to have been injured. u.s. air bases have been put on alert to respond to any emergencies. the typhoon has been downgraded from a super typhoon but still described as very large and strong. still the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane and being compared to typhoon haiyan. packing winds of up to 145 miles per hour. the joint typhoon warning center says the powerful storm is likely to cause highways and landfalls as it moves across southern japan.

satellite images show a perfectly formed eye. it's the second typhoon to hit in a week. last one swept past okinawa killing several people, including three u.s. airmen. tie foong vongfong is expected to go past okinawa in the next few hours and head towards the japanese island of kyushu. india is bracing for a massive cyclone bearing down on the eastern part of that country. hundreds and thousands of people are now being evacuated. the storm is expected to make lawful tomorrow with heavy rains and winds of 120 miles per hour. a lot of folks are scared because in 1999, a powerful cyclone killed 10,000 people in the very same area. >> a window into bill clinton's presidency opening today. the public getting its very first look at a troef of new documents covering some of the most controversial years of the

clinton's era. we're going to share some of it with you. >> more bizarre behavior from this woman. what in the world did she do now to be committed against her will. >> that's amanda bynes if you can't tell. >> president obama reportedly trying to side step congress and shut down the terror prison at guantanamo bay. can he make good on a year's old promise and will he? >> as president i will close guantanamo, reject the military commissions act and adhere to the geneva conventions, our uniform code of military justice provide a framework for dealing with the terrorists.

time for a quick check on your headlines. obama campaign finance records show the father of a white house aide who has been linked to the scandal made a $20,000 donation to the obama victory fund back in 2012. the records also show the white house returned the donation to him just days later, raising questions about whether the white house knew more about the scandal than they said they did at the time. health officials in new

jersey issuing a mandatory quarantine order for members of an nbc news crew who worked with a man infected with ebola. it was issuedal a voluntary 21 day isolation agreement was violated. amanda bynes placed an involuntary psychiatric care after the 28-year-old posted a disturbing twitter rant against her father and later tweeted a retraction blaming the comments based on a "microchip in her head". >> the wall strehite house is questioning the article but hasn't denied it, so president obama promised to close the prison six years ago. now republicans are using the report against him and fellow democrats on the campaign trail. we're joined by angela mclouen

and former aide to senator harry reid. first of all, before i get to you guys, i want to refer to vern buchanan on this one and then you can react. he says in a statement, why is the white house even discussing this as we battle a brutal enemy that has beheaded two americans bringing dangerous terrorists into the u.s. makes no sense and sends the wrong message to our enemies and allies. angela, what message are we sending by bringing terrorists on to u.s. soil? >> the message that we're sending is basically our president about the policy and what the american people want. he cares more about the legacy and i'll agree with the candidate in florida that, we should not be doing this now. being at war, julie, we should unite, not divide. this will be an issue that will play into republican hands. >> what do you say? >> well, i think we're having a

hypothetical argument. what we're talking about here, do i believe that in the white house some corners of the white house they are having this discussion? yes, there's an ocean of difference between having the discussion and actually moving forward on it. and if they do, i think there will be a spirited debate within congress and i think it will be a bipartisan debate. i think there are democrats right now should they have to deal with this will separate themselves from the president as they did in 2008 when he tried and as they also did in 2010 when he tried. >> but -- >> it makes the party look broken -- never mind the mid terms. when it comes to the next presidential election, why are democrats going to get any votes if they can't seem to side with their own president? the president attempted to close gitmo in 2010 and congress protested then. that's not going to change now. do liberals simply want to ignore congress's wishes? >> i'm not sure -- well, let me

put it to you this way, i don't think as a congress if you're a democrat, that you need to agree with everything that the president does. and the closer -- >> most democrats have. >> and the close that any president, whether a republican or democrat gets to being at the end of the term you're going to see more and more separation at people look towards 2016. to answer your question, i don't actually think this is going to hurt democrats going forward that the president might be on one side and some democrats might be on the other. >> afrngela? >> in 2010 the president tried doing this and republicans took over the house in 2010. when you have terry mcauliffe, a very good politician, now governor of virginia saying that republicans can pick up an increase in the house by 8 to 10 seats. i think that the president is hurting his own party but julie, i think he doesn't care. he cares more about his legacy, more about how history will say that he did what he was going to

do instead of the country and being a great leader. >> i just think when it comes to terrorism and foreign policy, republicans tend to expose democrats for having a lot of weaknesses here. you say this will not have a national effect. but how could you say that when republicans are constantly picking apart these weaknesses, for example, and i believe that the florida republican representative pointed out perfectly that right now the way we are battling terrorism is much different since 9/11. we have a whole new batch of terror. that should be the focus, should it not? >> we're three weeks from election. if you're going to say -- i think we would both agree that the ads you can make on something like this, they write themselves. i don't think from a political standpoint, strategic standpoint, there's enough time to saturate for it to matter one way or the other. >> protecting our homeland? >> republicans sean democrats

would say that pretty much the house decided at this point. we're looking at the united states senate. what i'm saying is that i do not think this will in somehow nationally change what is going to happen in those elections. >> i can tell you this, you have warriors out there and patriots out there that care about america. you don't decide a race until you go into the ballot box. i think in three weeks, if the president decides to do this, it is going to hurt the democratic party, not only with the mid-term elections but i believe the presidential election as well. >> once again, i think this is a great hypothetical argument. i do believe that of course this has probably been talked about in the white house but as lot of difference between talking and doing it. i would be surprised if one -- anything would happen in the next three weeks or anything would even happen this year. >> the president said, as president i'll close guantanamo, reject the military commissions act and adhere to the geneva conventions and our military code of justice provide a framework in dealing with the terrorists. >> his way to deal with the

terrorists to bring them here. >> and treat them like regular americans, regular americans, which the terrorists hate who we are. >> if we're going to have this on a logical and not a political -- we're going to save this for another time. we're -- >> we'll have to leave it there. >> thank you very much. we appreciate you both coming on. >> thank you. >> all right, is the political world watches and waits with baited breath to find out what hillary clinton is going to do in 2016. national archives opened the door to 30,000 records the papers cover the days of monica lewinsky and white water and pardons that bill clinton issued in the final days as president. molly has been digging through the documents and joins us live. >> only one e-mail from monica lewinsky was released in the latest batch of papers, most

were withheld for reasons of personal privacy. in the e-mail from march 1996, lewinsky asked if she can hang this picture of the president signing the telecom bill in her shared white house office. we know now they were well into their affair by then, the affair that lead to his impeachment. another e-mail from the white house personnel director showed clinton aides trying to get lewinsky transferred to the pentagon. we are working closely with dod, department of defense, to make this happen for monica. we have not finalized the deal but are working toward that end. the direction is to make sure she has a job in an agency. there are also several papers related to the white water real estate and fraud investigation. and hillary clinton's legal work during that time. one unsigned memo urged him to stick up for his wife. it said, quote, defend hrc,

stress her ethics and accomplishments as a lawyer and doing public service work, a person whose life and career have exemplified highest ethical standards and integrity. other papers released show hillary clinton's frustration with the clinton administration's ability to defend the first couple during white water. in one note, yet another meeting that goes anywhere. another useless conversation. leland? >> molly with more the historians have to pick through in washington. thanks. the deadly ent row virus is slowing disappearing but the parents of eli waller wants to be sure their son's memory never does. what they are doing to help other kids. turkey won't help in kobani, the town along the border, unless there's a no fly zone but that could have severe consequences for the united

states. we'll get a live update on conditions now from the turkey/syria board and ask jack keen for his analysis on how and if this battle can be won.

i hait's tough, but severi've managed.ease. but managing my symptoms was all i was doing. so when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores.

don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

it's the bottom of the hour, u.s. bombers carrying out six air strikes on isis targets but the battle sl still raging as kurdish fighters struggle to defend the home from the militant group. they are outgunned and outmatched and the u.s. strikes have so far done very little but slow the isis advance. greg joins us live from the turkey/syria border with the latest. hi, greg. >> reporter: things are sounding desperate today, one of the best sources is saying that the syrian town of kobani could fall to the terrorists in just a

matter of days. there is amateur video reporting to show isis fighters inside kobani, if accurate gives a face to the savagery, they are having no problem getting replied and reinforced and more fighters and heavy arms are flowing into the place. the kurdish defenders are getting neither. we're also told there's fighting all sides of the town, including the very center. the new air strikes against isis in an around kobani in the last 24 hours but also they are not enough and maybe they are too late. remember, for days before isis entered the town when the tanks and vehicles were out in the open, there were barely any air strikes at all. we've been watching the tanks of the turkish military, they seem they do not want to get involved. there are reports they have agreed to train 2,000 moderate fighters inside syria to help in

the fight against isis but that is a long term thing. finally it is thought that hundreds if not thousands of civilians might be trapped inside kobani sparking fears of a massacre and for the number of refugees here, that total is now up to 200,000. they have come over just in the past couple of weeks. the human tragedy unfolding by the minute. back to you. >> greg, thank you very much. turkey's condition for stepping in for a no fly zone has been a no fly zone in syria. that's what they want. that has been rejected by the white house. that's because agreeing to the buffer zone would mean one of two things, either cooperating with syria's leader assad or taking out syria's air defenses, which is an action tanamount to war. former chief of the army and fox news military analyst. general, i want to start with

this, we just heard from greg, things are dire to say the least. they are talking about the town falling in ail matter of hours. is kobani tactally important or strategically important or a matter of u.s. prestige on the line and you have air strikes supporting these people who will now be overrun? >> that's a good question. the fact of the matter is strategically from the u.s. perspective and what its plans are about in syria is to degrade the capabilities of isis, disrupt their functions and also take them off offense as much as possible and put them on defense. so while this was not an initial target list, by the way, they started attacking kobani on 16th of september and we began air strikes on 23 september. they quickly recognize -- i think mostly from media, frankly, that there was so much of isis committed to the attack on this town and so much of the

resources were committed. tanks are totally -- more in the open susceptible to air strikes. i think that has significant tactical value to destroy that capability. and obviously from a humanitarian perspective and what has taken place in the suffering of the syrians going on for years with 200,000 dead, this is another chapter in human suffering in terms of what could possibly take place here in this town. i do think we have interest. it didn't make the strategic target list in the beginning but it certainly is on it now. >> and as we look at the town of kobani and where it is on the map, it is next to turkey, on the border. greg can stand on turkish border and watch the fighting go on. the people who have been silent in this is the turks, they are not going to do anything. they have ground forces that we've seen, tanks on the hills overlooking kobani. they are not doing anything either.

what is your view on the fact they are holding hostage their participation in this. they are a nato ally saying we're not going to do anything unless we get want what we want from the united states in terms of policy. >> assad is their number one priority issue and i certainly understand that from the turks' perspective and they have clearly less sympathy and empathy for syrian kurds who are aligned with the turkish kurds who are trying to separate from turkey, but at the end of the day, they could clearly have made a difference once isis appeared on the scene two weeks ago, even if they didn't want to use their tanks crossing over into syria, they have a powerful air force which could have knocked these guys out before they even got started. but the fact of the matter is, they are the only people that can probably make a difference now. and it's likely they will do nothing as isis closes in.

that's the realty of it. the no fly zone i agree with. our stated policy from president obama to arm, equip and train the syrian army, not in the fight, quite removed from it. the fact of the matter is, assad is bombing the free syrian army on a daily basis. it makes no sense to anybody to permit that to continue. i think it's a moral imperative to stop that, no fly zone that turkey wants should also be u.s. policy. >> i want to put up real quickly, the isis control map. we've seen it has been expanding a little bit and they obviously have kobani and we're now hearing there's attacks closer and closer to the airport in and around baghd virtue of the fact they have been able to expand their area of control and continue to be on the offense, now that we are a couple of

weeks into president obama's new policy on syria and on isis, is it working? >> well, it's working in the sense that we certainly have disrupted some of their resources and functions and degraded them as well. but it's not working in the sense that isis, that you accurately point out on the map is telling us, it continues to advance in iraq, dominate anbar province, obviously setting up for future attacks on baghdad and certainly in syria which we've been watching for two weeks in ko bani but still fighting in and around aleppo. i think the left of effort on the part of the air strikes, i don't know the reasons behind it. i've been told the rules of engagement are too restrictive and we don't have enough isr to help identify targets. but all i can say is just looking at what you're looking at, come to the conclusion that the level of effort of air

strikes is inadequate and something we should fix and fix soon. >> there's certainly a lot of folks who say the number of air strikes by the virtue of looking and what the pentagon has put out, wanting in terms of making a real difference. thanks, general, for your insight. the discussion continues tomorrow morning. senator john thune speaks to maria bartiromo about the millty alliance with turkey and whether he sees a need to take the fight beyond air strikes in iraq and syria, right here on the fox news channel. wall street wrapping up with a big drop again yesterday. giving the market its worse week since 2012. why is it taking the sudden plunge? >> plus, a flight attendant angers many passengers after she allegedly refused a request by this army soldier. >> told us she would go to the captain and to be honest, i wish

i challenged her with that because the captain would have told her to hang the first sergeant's jacket and we wouldn't be having this conversation today. i'm over the hill. my body doesn't work the way it used to. past my prime? i'm a victim of a slowing metabolism? i don't think so. great grains protein blend. protein from natural ingredients like seeds and nuts. it helps support a healthy metabolism. great grains protein blend. that disease is for older people. not me. i take good care of myself. i'm active. i never saw it coming....it hit me like a ton of bricks. pneumococcal pneumonia was horrible... the fatigue... the chest pains, difficulty breathing. it put me in the hospital. you don't want to go through what i did. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor. you may be able to prevent it. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are24/7branches?

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.

save your coffee from the artificial stuff. switch to truvia. great tasting, zero-calorie sweetness from the stevia leaf. there was outrage on a u.s. airways flight after a flight attendant allegedly refused to hang up a soldier's metal filled jacket in the closet because he was flying coach. first sergeant albert boarded the flight to north carolina had his dress blues and asked if he can hang up the jacket to keep it from creasing. the flight attendant told him no because the closet is for first class passengers only. angry passengers in first class offered the sergeant their seats but no dice. >> i offered to trade seats with

sergeant morrow and she was not enthusiastic about that idea. and said we needed to take our seats or she was going to get the captain. >> captain never came. social media exploded with the story and u.s. airways has since apologized saying it is now investigating the incident. looking at your 401(k) might give you a serious scare. the stock market suffering its worst week in more than two years. the dow had the biggest decline of the year on thursday just a day after its biggest gain then yesterday, it lost another 115 points. what's behind the roller coaster on wall street? scott is the founder of help save my dollars.com and i hope you can save our dollars. even though the unemployment rate reached the lowest level in six years, it's under 6%, we're hearing the stock market doing this up and down but more down in the recent week and so it sort of concerns us all after

all of these gains in the beginning of the year. can you explain why this is happening? >> we had stocks with their best day of the year on wednesday. then on thursday -- >> what is up with that? >> the largest three-day -- triple digit decline on thursday with the dow jones industrial average fell 334 points. there's a lot of concern over europe and deflation in europe. deflation is when prices fall. consumers postpone purchases and that's a real problem for economic growth. >> there are concerns about the global economy and many concerns about those of us who have 401(k), people are concerned what's going to happen to our money. what are we supposed to do? >> if you have a 401(k) and time on your side you should be fine because you don't need the money. if you're near retirement, that's when you need to be a little bit more concerned. and this is because corrections, which is something that we potentially might be seeing where it's a 10% decline in the market, we're not there yet but could be. that's actually healthy for the

market. if you're investing, that gives you an opportunity to get in and buy some stocks. >> you talk about corrections now, saying they are long overdue, a correction needs to be made. what needs to happen in order for the stock market to bounce back? >> well, ultimately we need to be seeing better information out of europe. especially when it comes to germany. on thursday we got the german export data, the lowest level since the economy and they are considered one of the strongest economies. it makes you question the entire stability of the eurozone and put fourth a federal reserve bond system you list like the one we had in the u.s. that could be prosh attic because in europe you have different economies and currencies. >> germany is missing angela merkel in big ways because she had it so strong and europe is looking at germany as a leader in all of this. in two weeks now they are conducting a big stress test. they are going to test all of

the european banks. and determine what kinds of stress are causing europe's economy to go downhill. what do you think they'll find on the stress tests. >> since the recession, there's been a lot of regulation in the u.s. to have the banks have higher capital and equity cushions in case a bank falls it doesn't collapse the rest of the system. and the real concern with banks is that some of these banks are funded by depositors, you and i have money in these banks, how safe is our money should another recession happen? so they are looking at how much money do the banks have on hand to handle another -- >> the u.s. dollar continues to strengthen. at first you think that sounds like a good thing but you can say that could back fire. >> with the dollar we're seeing the dollar strengthen largely because given all of the global unrest in the economy, the u.s. is still the best place for global investors money. we're seeing money pour into the dollar, that's strengthening it but make our exports look less

attractive and that could hurt manufacturers. when you look at the jobs data, you want to see growth and manufacturing and may not see as much if the dollar continues to strengthen. >> founder of help save my dollars.com. scott, thank you very much. >> many cancer patients look for hope in those stories of people who made miraculous recoveries and there are those stories but now researchers are looking to those survivors and the science behind their recoveries trying to unlock a cure for the rest of us. let's hide in the attic. no. in the basement. why can't we just get in the running car? are you crazy? let's hide behind the chainsaws. smart. yeah. ok. if you're in a horror movie, you make poor decisions. it's what you do. this was a good idea. shhhh. be quiet. i'm being quiet. you're breathing on me! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. head for the cemetery!

the father of a new jersey boy who died from enterovirus has started a foundation called the first day of school. he died last month after he was struck by the virus. his father now says the name of the foundation came from how eli loved the first day of school. >> when something like this happens, you have to make a choice. and that choice is are you going to just sit and langish and be sad for the rest of your life or make something good happen.

my heart is broken. i think he would be happy we're trying to do what we're trying to do here, start up the foundation. >> that is tough. the foundation will provide financial assistance to kids in special education. we've all heard about them the miracles and for cancer patients the stories of people who bounce back from near death can inspire and motivate and give hope. a new study highlights researchers trying to find out why some patients respond better to experimental treatments, some not so well and how that could lead to a cure. the doctor is chair of urology at len ox hill hospital. he joins us now live. help me understand this, are they miracle cures or is there science behind them? >> there's no question there's

science behind them. we call them miracle because we don't understand how it happens. we're understanding with cancers that as time goes on, we're understanding about the customize and tailer kind of therapy, whether the re-septemberers and mutation going on, why is one therapy working so much better on one person and not the other person? we're starting to understand based on the receptors, one can mutate and the treatment will not work but on one it could stay the same way and cure them. these studies are extremely important. that's part of the reason why most of the cancer centers are creating a whole network to register all of these cases because we can learn so much from them. >> how much does it matter who the patient is. in the sense you have a guy who's a young healthy person who somehow gets a disease versus the older overweight guy who gets the disease. one guy who maybe has stronger

dna or immune system and somebody else doesn't have one. does that play a role? >> the struc your body and immune system plays a huge role. that's part of the targeted therapy to boost your immune system. when you have diabetes and you're obese, some of the exciting things going on over here, many different types of cancers. when you deal with a cancer of the brain that is deadly. if you take too much of it, you're going to cause parl sis and brain damage. if you don't take enough, it takes the patient's life. now we're able to inject certain dies that surround the tumor and tell the surgeons exactly how much they have to take. we're bringing some radiation technology to our operating rooms for breast cancer for other things to be able to get rid of this. technology is advancing as well as understanding of genetic component of patients. >> is the need for the experimental treatment also

expanding? for so long the fda has been the one that in many cases said no, this is an experimental treatment, only a certain amount of people can get it and now we're getting into the situation where you have compassionate uses of medicine. it's the last chance you got, here it is. does that need to be expanded? >> no question about it. the findings have been a big problem over the past few years. but america has always been the leader in the field of medicine. we'll continue to have the clinical trials, those funding and research is so important to save people's lives of patients with pancreatic cancer and devastating brain cancer. now we're using a lot of extensive mri and mri guided biopsy to find exactly where the pockets of cancer are and treat those areas. so -- >> how often has it been you've had a patient, you only thought it didn't look good and all of a

sudden they came through? >> we see those maybe once or twice a year and look at my staff and say this was a fantastic save and how did this happen? we want to learn from them, from the mutations, from the receptors and find out one size treatment fit all is not the case. tailor and customize the medication and therapy is the way to go. >> you can watch him every sunday, house call, 12:30 eastern. >> that's going to do it for us. the journal editorial report is up next and i'll see you on the fox report 7:00. ♪
