posting pictures on instagram showing clown costumes, some holding weapons. >> thanks for joining "fox & friends first" . >> "fox & friends" start right now. >> bye. good morning. today is monday, october 13. i'm ainsley earhardt. i'm filling in for elisabeth this morning. we begin with a fox news alert. america, we are all on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person infected with ebola here in the united states. and the authorities are playing the blame game on this one saying it was all her own fault. a live report from the hospital straight ahead. >> halloween fun turns to fear when a bouncey house blew away, kids inside. an update on their conditions. again. and the warnings every parent needs to hear straight ahead. >> do you want to be a billionaire? here's how you start. >> that was my first job
3:01 am
going door to door to door as a 12-year-old selling garbage bags, $6 for 100 bags. everybody needs garbage bags. >> our interview with mark cuban straight ahead because according to all studies and one that hasn't been done yet, mornings are better with friends. ♪ ♪ >> welcome aboard folks. live from studio e here in manhattan, "fox & friends." good morning towrks ainsley earhardt. >> good morning. happy to be here with you guys. >> very busy news. >> everyone has been talking about ebola. that has been the topic around your dining room table. a fox news alert. america is on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person to become infected in the united states. we're live from dallas. >> reporter: this nurse we can tell you is stable, although at this hour health officials have not
3:02 am
released her name. all we really know at this point is that she worked right here at texas health presbyterians hospital in dallas and that she had been taking care of thomas duncan. in fact, the c.d.c. said she had extensive contact with the liberian national who contracted the deadly virus, got on the plane, brought it here to the united states, texas in particular last month. the c.d.c. also says that this health care worker had been wearing full protective gear while she was treating patient zero. frankly it is not clear and that is what is so scary how she could have become infected. although the c.d.c. says this must have been a breach in protocol. we've been told this nurse had contact with at least one other person while she was showing symptoms which is when ebola becomes contagious. but here is the troubling news. health authorities say that this nurse was not -- repeat -- not one of the 48 people identified as having
3:03 am
exposure to mr. duncan. 48 people who had been monitored on a daily basis by doctors here since this fiasco began in texas last month. howf, health care workers -- however, health care workers we now understand were told to self-monitor. the woman's apartment in dallas has been sealed off. hazmat crews worked there yesterday to decontaminate it in the same way mr. duncan's apartment was. by the way, his four family members still remain under quarantine until october 19 and as of right now they have not shown any symptoms. frankly, that's what a lot of people on the ground here feared would happen, if anybody would have come down with ebola it would have one of those four family members who have been cooped up inside that apartment with mr. duncan. that has not been the case yet. now it is one of these health care workers who has been treating him. >> all right.
3:04 am
it's a good thing she was taking her own temperature and figured it out. she called the hospital and said i think i'm sick. they said come in. they took her immediately to isolation. >> the main thing is we don't know what happened. if there was a breach in protocol, which it seems, it has not been relayed to us. >> they're trying to figure it out. what they're doing now is apparently they're going to figure out how she took off her gear. because people surmise that she made a mistake somehow. but they're blaming her and we're about to tell you about how the nurses and doctors in this country simply are not all trained. in the meantime, it's not just in texas. the first an ebola scare at a boston hospital. the care center was evacuated as doctors and patients were quarantined for hours. the man is being monitored as officials say the risk
3:05 am
of him having ebola is very low. >> a scare in the air after a woman with flu-like symptoms gets sick on board a united airlines flight. l.a.x. was placed on lockdown after the plane landed until officials determined she was never exposed to the ebola virus. a big exhale on that but where do we go from here? should we now prepare for the worst? should we narrow down the number of hospitals that should be treating ebola rather than try to get everybody up to the ebola-like levels? because the focus in dallas, should we be saying if you have ebola go to nebraska, go to atlanta? should we be doing that? it's almost impossible, you would think, for hospitals many of which are going on a very lean budget, to get up to catastrophic-like levels. >> the head of the c.d.c. is saying it was the nurse's fault. they're blaming her. they're saying it was a breach of ebola safety protocol and he's saying this is not going to be the last of the ebola. take a listen.
3:06 am
>> unfortunately it is possible in the coming days that we will see additional cases of ebola. this is because the health care workers who cared for this individual may have had a breach of the same nature of the individual who appears now to have preliminary positive tests. >> what he is doing -- and we don't really have an ebola czar but he's the guy who comes on tv because he's the head of the c.d.c. any time there is bad news. he essentially says we've got these protocols and if you follow them you won't get sick. but clearly she didn't follow the protocols. but you know what? there's a group called national nurses united, which is a union and also a professional organization for nurses, and they say look, we are not being trained properly in how to handle ebola. if a hospital gives you a piece of paper and it says go to the c.d.c. website, that's not training. here's a registered nurse and a disaster expert at national nurses united.
3:07 am
>> we have been asking our hospitals throughout the country to provide us with training that allows us to ask questions, with training about how to put on the proper and optimal level of personal protection equipment, how to put it on, how to take it off. what is the plan for waste disposal? and we have seen in our hospitals in this country that they have not given us this information. and then when the nurses become infected they are blamed for not following the protocols. that is not going to work. >> yeah, i mean they're just trying to figure out in some ways where it went wrong and the only thing they could figure out is it's got to be the nurse who took off her hazmat suit wrong or did something where she inadvertently exposed herself. if she didn't -- they probably know the answer to this. what do you? how did do it? how many times? there is the theory if you get exawrted you're more --
3:08 am
exhausted you're more susceptible to the disease to make a mistake. the other thing i fear most is we have these marines headed into africa that these are not the right suits. are these the perfect suits to handle ebola, to give you the flexibility not only to treat but give you maximum protection. if this happens again to another nurse, soon they're going to say you go in there. >> that is what the nurse is saying. how are we supposed to follow protocol when we don't know what protocol is have not been trained. >> if this becomes an epidemic, we're in trouble. >> absolutely. you can't really blame the nurses. they're doing the best they can with what they're given but according to that organization we told you about, 85% of the nurses we polled said their hospitals are not providing education about the viruses. 36% say the hospitals don't have the right supplies. face shields, fluid resistant gowns. that is what the troops need over there in africa to care for the ebola
3:09 am
patient. so every time there's an incident like this you see thomas frieden, the guy who heads up c.d.c. there he is right there. is he the official ebola czar? we probably need one, because the president isn't, you know, he's not -- with all this bad news, where was the president of the united states over the weekend? right after he talked to the secretary of health and human services he went golfing. a disease expert says the problem with this crisis is nobody is in charge. >> there is nobody in charge. there's no one in charge in west africa where 18% of patients are being treated in liberia, 40% in sierra leone. the epidemic is wildly out of control. we need someone in charge.
3:10 am
>> later you're going to hear a lot of people say maybe we should start limiting flights out of west africa, eliminating them altogether. the c.d.c. pushes back on that. so do others. but if we're going to screen as a precaution in major airports why wouldn't you as a precaution do something that would at least cut down on the chances of acquiring this? >> air france, british air, they have cut off flights out of those countries. >> you said it is not going to be an epidemic. let's hand it over to heather. hey, heather. >> how are you this morning? good to be here joining the fellows. good morning to you. we have some other headlines to talk about. in new jersey communities standing together following horrific revelations of hazing on the football team at a local high school. hundreds of people gathering to rally against bullying and sexual abuse, being showing support for the football players after their entire season was canceled. >> hopefully because of the
3:11 am
courage and the strength and the perseverance of these young men who came forward, it will heal the community as well as healing them. >> seven students ages 15 to 17 have been arrested and they could be tried as adults and face up to five years in prison. two young children seriously hurt at a new jersey halloween festival when a bounce house goes airborne. witnesses say a wind gust blew it up to 30 feet in the air before it landed in an arrest charred and -- in an orchard nearly 50 feet aaway all with two toddler brothers inside. >> the ride wasn't open. the tickets weren't on sale yet. no one was supposed to have been in there. >> the three-year-old was released from the hospital as the two-year-old remains in critical condition. officials say the bounce house was not set up yet and the children should not have been playing inside. you may recall two similar accidents happened in may, one in colorado when a bounce house with two children inside was blown
3:12 am
nearly 300 feet. and in new york three young children hurt after being dropped from a bounce house lifted by the wind. >> new developments in a deadly haunted hay ride crash in maine. investigators now blaming a mechanical problem for the accident. 17-year-old cassidy turrett killed and more than 20 others injured when the trailer jackknifed striking a tree. the farm will reopen today but the hay ride will be closed for the rest of the season. the navy's blue angels nieg -- flying high in the sky over san francisco. it is quite a sight. you should try and see it if you haven't. thousands of people in awe of the incredible techniques and the patriotic pride as they what you the pilots cap off fleet week festivities. the blue angels were grounded hast year due to
3:13 am
the government shutdown. >> they risk their lives every day for our freedom, you know, to have this. popcorn, hot dogs, just to walk freely without worrying about what's going to happen to us. >> the u.s. navy seals parachute team also putting on quite a show for the spectators. and those are a look at your headlines. it is amazing what they do, those blue angels. >> did you see them crisscross in the air? so close to each other. >> heather, thank you. it's our heed story of the day. the nurse now -- it's our lead story of the day, the nurse confirmed with ebola in texas proves how easy this disease can spread. what is being done to keep you safe? texas congressman michael burgess is advising homeland security on the situation and joins us next. >> people get stuck in a tram car dangling above the
3:14 am
3:16 am
3:17 am
3:18 am
index patient, the original patient in dallas. but at some point there was a breach in protocol. and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. >> so what he's saying is the nurse did something wrong. so who exactly is in charge right now? and is enough being done? this is happening down in texas so let's talk to texas congressman michael burgess. he's a physician. he participated in friday's homeland security hearing on ebola and joins us today from dallas. good morning to you, sir. >> dpoorm. -- good morning. >> who is in charge of this ebola crisis? >> that's a question you can't answer this morning. clearly dr. frieden offense the past couple of days has been the visible face of the response. dr. fauci at the national institutes of health is also one of the ones that you frequently see. but three weeks ago at a hearing in washington when i asked the question who is in charge? if things get worse who do
3:19 am
i call? and this was before the dallas patient, of course, you didn't get a clear answer of who that person to call would be. you don't know who to call over in africa. is it usaid or is it our state department? so here's the tough part, you can't have business as usual right now. the bureaucracies cannot be allowed to function the way they normally do because we do have a crisis at our doorstep and it must be stopped. as far as the issue of flights, we don't have direct flights to this country but there are 125 to 150 people a day, as we learned last week, that are going to be going through special screening procedures. honestly you wonder if they shouldn't be quarantined for awhile prior to their arrival in this country. this is a potentially, such a serious situation. and the other thing is you really -- our heart goes out to the nurse in the hospital this morning not
3:20 am
knowing what the future holds for her. every time i've been to one of these big labs that studies ebola, what do you see? you see these very special suits. you see positive airway pressure piped through the suits. everyone is as careful as be about the possibility for contamination. now you drop this into a regular clinical setting in a hospital, i don't know there is any way in the world they were prepared for that. yes, brochures and e-mails went out from c.d.c. but the criticism of the training, i don't know that the hospitals knew what training to provide. >> she said she did everything right. she drove herself to the hospital. she can't think of a breach. however the c.d.c., they are blaming her and saying it has to be. >> there is a problem in the protocol, but it's not her. >> thank you so much, doctor and congressman for being with us this morning. if you want to be a billionaire, here's how you can start. >> all right. >> that was my first job, going door to door to door as a 12-year-old selling

3:28 am
it was an inbelievable feeling. a year later we sold to yahoo for $5.7 billion and along the way jed became a billionaire. >> when the apprentice became a hit and it was a business and you see the sponsorshipship woven in, i think that was great for america and shark tank has done that and more. why did you get involved? how do you explain where it resonates? there's relatively few entrepreneurs out there. >> i got involved, i watched the show and they invite immediate to be a guest shark. i -- invited me to be a guest shark. i said i'm going to do nigh three episodes and it will be over. then people came to me and said my nine-year-old watches the show. >> i should be a dentist. you're so full of crap. >> mark, i think you're being a bully. >> then they deserve to be bullied. >> what was cool is anywhere we go.
3:29 am
after the mavericks win the championship i go to my school, son's school and i brought the trophy and the questions from the kids were about the shark tank. i thought it was a business show. it is not a business show. it is an inspirational show. >> people don't understand you've got these companies, you've got to keep them going. >> shark tank it is about 50 now. >> how many failed? >> one. >> how many are successful? >> one is not successful but she is not smart enough to realize it. there is no one successful enough that they're -- there is one that is successful enough to buy me out. >> they chanted your name, the owner of the team as they handed out the trophy.

3:35 am
transmitted after she probing protocol. >> close contacts of hers now in isolation, that as a precaution. the c.d.c. says more ebola cases are possible. >> it was about a week ago i was watching one of the panels on the bret baier show and they said if a second case comes along where somebody contracts ebola and they are here in the united states -- and in this case, this person actually contracted it here in the united states. >> for the first time. >> ever. there is going to be a call for a travel ban. we've got dr. fow which i for the centers -- dr. fauci for the centers for disease control saying a travel ban would probably work. >> that would be counterproductive. we can understand how people might come to that conclusion but when you look at what happens when you isolate country diminish greatly their ability to handle their own
3:36 am
emdemocrat -- epidemic. the best way to protect americans is to completely suppress the epidemic in west africa. >> i think we need to target more the individuals themselves and look at the idea of potentially temporarily suspending the 13,000 visas that would be coming out of this region. allowing health care workers to go in because they have to contain the threat. but when it comes to the sort of the original population out of west africa leaving, i think that is a measure that policy-makers ought to be looking at. >> add to that the fact that apparently this nurse at this hospital down in dallas didn't do something right, they're blaming her for getting ebola. but the nurses union says we're not training our nurses. the people in the emergency room don't know what to do. if somebody walks in, they say go to the website for the c.d.c. by the way, fauci is from

3:46 am
the same film revealing a second whistle-blower. what does this mean for our national security? joining us is a former attorney for edward snowden's father, lonnie snowden. >> how do you feel about this revelation, bruce? >> i think it indicates that mr. snowden probably will be in russia for a substantial period as long as relations are icy, i think mr. putin has no reason to extradite or transfer edward back to the united states for trial. i'm not sure it really has much impact on national security. we've had damage assessments of what the disclosures of mr. snowden were and there's indications that other than perhaps a few evasive means of communication no individual has been injured. >> isis, for the record, has already adjusted the way they communicate because of mr. snowden's revelations. there is a superior to edward snowden.
3:47 am
when snowden gets the word, he's shocked by it. >> shocked by what? >> there is a second one like him who has been in power releasing intelligence information to the press. >> i think what the indications are, as we have a number, well over a million persons on a watch list. i'm not sure how that jeopardizes national security. i think government where transparency ought to be the rule, the american people need to know whether they approve or not approve of the laws by which they're being administered and spied on by the n.s.a. that is what government by the -- >> so you believe edward snowden did nothing wrong? >> no, that's not what i said and you didn't ask the question properly. edward snowden did reveal in part illegal spying on american citizens, you and me and every one of your viewers, without any cause to believe we're doing anything wrong. on the other hand, there are other revelations about spying on foreign countries that have an entirely different legal perspective to it.
3:48 am
i think the fact that wave a program, we have legislation and curtailment of the n.s.a. spying is due to one person, edward snowden. to that degree we ought to be applauding him. to the extent he's gone beyond that, he was 29, 30 years old when he made the revelation, he doesn't have all the maturity of socrates. >> i would give him that. he thinks he does. the fact is he has given up information and a lot of people say it's been damaging. you say to a degree it's been damaging. if there is somebody who is a superior who theoretically has more access than edward snowden does and still in power couldn't that be devastating to our national security? >> depends upon what it is being disclosed. we have the director of national intelligence committing perjury under oath, many denying he was collecting meta data on you, me and everybody else.
3:49 am
we need a government of laws, not a government of men. until we understand what's being revealed we can't make judgments as to whether or not it's proper. >> that is true but if you sign something that says you're not going to disclose something like he did as a private contractor, that is also valuable for the future. >> there will be a contract problem but that is a different matter as to whether it jeopardizes the national security in this instance. i underscore the damage assessment done, it's been over a year since the disclosures were forth coming, don't indicate any individual has been injured, hurt or killed because of it. >> a lot of revelations have a lot to do with the clandestine behavior of what he exposed and by telling somebody who has been killed, injured or compromised would be further damage unanimous edward snowden did. thank you for joining us. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. isis is knocking on the

3:55 am
you get revenge. >> kidnapped my former lover who i betrayed and these two people actually are very in love with each other, but it's kind of a sado macissic relationship. >> 10 p.m we're finding that people are binge watching. so this is the way it's going. >> that's the way it is now. let's talk about something else that's extremely important in the real world and that's ms. it hit your family when you were young with your dad. now you're involved in a campaign to help other people. >> well, during the time that my father had the disease, there were no treatment options. so his disease progressed very rapidly. i was the eldest of three children. my mother was kind of a saint actually. we did everything from dressing my father to -- he deteriorated very rapidly.
3:56 am
cut to all these years later, there are tremendous treatment options. we were always praying for a cure to be around the corner, but back then, that was an impossibility. >> now you came for lights, camera, take action. >> yeah. so i think that people should go to the web site, takeactionms.com. we're going to be doing a round of seminars across the country so people can understand that there are things that they can do to prolong their quality of life and to live relatively normal lives. and before my father was diagnosed with a 20-year life expectancy, and now you can have a completely normal life. >> you see that with montel williams and janis dean. it was great to meet you. >> thank you. >> you're on a mission. have a great one.
3:57 am
4:00 am
good morning. today is monday, october 13. i'm ainsley earhart filling in for elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert, america's on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person to be infected with the ebola inside the united states. this as scares are popping up all over our country. we'll have a live report from the hospital straight ahead. isis fighters close to gaining the upper hand in iraq. >> sure, and had they overrun the iraqi unit, it was a straight shot to the airport. so we're not going to allow that to happen. we need that airport. >> yeah, we do. so if we can't put boots on the ground, then what? well, the white house responds. >> yeah.
4:01 am
and ladies, control yourselves. josh duhamel. what's it like chasing his new rugrat,axel. he hits the curvy couch just ahead. mornings are better with friends. and welcome aboard. thank you for joining us on this monday morning. we know what is on your mind and it is our lead story and it is a fox news alert. america on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person to become infected with ebola in the united states. casey stegall joins us outside the hospital in dallas with the latest. casey? >> reporter: hey, good morning. the cdc a lot of people don't know this, but the cdc developed protocols that were issued to hospital staff members, medical providers all over the united states on how to properly handle patients that could present with
4:02 am
ebola, ebola-type symptoms. it includes a gown, two pairs of gloves, a face shield, a mask, things that would keep bodily fluid droplets out of the eyes and mouth and bodies of the health care workers treating those people. the cdc believes this dallas nurse got infected while removing some of that personal protective equipment as it's called, what health officials are calling a breach of protocol. we understand this woman is a nurse here at texas health presbyterian hospital and she had extensive contact with thomas duncan, the liberian man who died here at the hospital last week from the ebola virus. as the woman's apartment was scrubbed down by haz-mat crews over the weekend, the cdc now taking a bit of heat here. many people now asking if hospital staff, if doctors, nurses, technicians and the like around the u.s. are properly trained and if they have the proper equipment to handle
4:03 am
patients with such a contagious and deadly disease like ebola. we're told right now that this particular nurse had contact with just one other person when she started showing symptoms. they are going to be monitored. we hope to get a whole lot more about what the cdc plans to do now moving forward a little bit later today in a press conference already scheduled. >> all right. we thank you very much. also the "dallas morning news" says of the nurse who is in stable condition as we just heard casey report, she is a 2010 graduate from texas christian university. so she's been in the nursing business just a couple of years. >> at first they wouldn't tell if it was a male or female. three minutes after the hour. as we would expect in like this, scares are popping up across the country. boston hospital, evacuated after a man returning from liberia was admitted with ebola-like symptoms. the man is being monitored as officials say the risk of him actually having ebola is very low. >> and a woman with flu-like
4:04 am
symptoms got sick on board a united airlines flight. los angeles international airport was placed on lockdown after the plane landed until officials determined she was not exposed to ebola. she was just air sick and apparently got air sick all the time. meanwhile, donald donald joins us on monday as he does every monday at this time. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> would it be better to have one person in charge or is the cdc doing just fine by you? >> we need a real leader. i watched this general from cdc and he keeps talking about oh, it's not really that contagious. it's not going to happen with us. in the meantime, it's a disaster and there is panic all over the country. you look at what's going on. if we had a real leader in washington, he would stop the flights because you have to stop the flights in from west africa. you have 150 people from the really hot spots coming in a day from west africa. you have to stop the flights. inconceivable that he doesn't do it and other countries are doing it. inconceivable that he doesn't do
4:05 am
it. and nobody understands it. >> why isn't he doing that? >> because he probably doesn't know what he's doing. we have a leader that truly -- why does a web site cost $5 million? why are we doing so badly? you read about patton and general mcarthur and these great generals, where are our generals? where are our leaders? it's all really -- it all starts at the top. it starts with obama and lots of bad things are happening to this country. ebola is incredible because we're not stopping the flights. so people can come in. you see what happened today. he came in. he flew in. he came in. stop the flights. >> sure. then he went to the hospital and they turn him around and he left with 103-degree fever and came back a couple days later, full-blown ebola. we know where the president was on this very busy news breaking weekend and that is right after he talked to the health and human services secretary, he went golfing for the 200th round of golf of his presidency.
4:06 am
>> well, he certainly knows a good game 'cause golf is a great game. nobody likes it more than me. but he's played a lot of golf. there is no question about it. and you know, when you're president, you sort of say, i'm going to give it up for a couple of years and i'm going to really focus on the job. how about right after theç beheading, he then walks over, does a news conference and then walks right outside and tees it up. you know, there are times to play golf. we all love golf. there are times to play and there are times that you can't play. it sends the wrong signal. but he plays a lot of golf. >> he also had seven fund-raisers last week. some business in between. >> by the way, they shut down new york last week. he kept coming in, fund-raiser after fund raidser, you couldn't move in the city. i live in new york. you couldn't move in the city. by the way, he would raise a million dollars and it would cost him $20 million or 50 million to come in. somebody in the government, what they should do is make a deal with him. don't come in, we'll give you a
4:07 am
million dollars. you'll save 40 million. >> it costs taxpayers all this money. but the million dollars go to the democratic national committee. >> he raises a million dollars and it costs between 25 and $50 million and they close up the entire city of new york. you have no idea. you could not move in new york. >> i know. >> it happened in l.a., too, when he was going to gwyneth paltrow's party. traffic bad there. let's talk about isis. they're closing in on baghdad on the airport. only eight miles away from the runway there is in baghdad. susan rice says the president is not going to reassess his strategy. what do you think about this? listen to this sound bite and we'll ask you your opinion. >> right now are you reassessing the strategy or no? >> no, chuck. this is very early days of the strategy. strategy is very clear, we'll do what we can from the air. but we are not going to be in a ground war again in iraq. it's not what is required by the circumstances that we face and even if one were to take that step, which the president has made clear we are not going to
4:08 am
do, it wouldn't be sustainable. we got to do this in a sustainable way. >> baghdad is under siege. you think we should reassess the strategy? >> it's just the fact that she said we're not going to be in a ground war, whether we are or whether we're not, they're -- does bellegarrigue czech say, tomorrow tom brady during the game will not pass or we're going to run? they don't talk about it. why would she say that even if it's so? why would she say anything? they're giving everything away. these people are so incompetent, it's hard to believe. now, i was never a big fan, i was always the man that said if we're going to be in there, keep the oil because you know who has the oil right now is isis. i've always said that. will the airport fail? when somebody is saying the troops aren't going in as she just said, i guess they have nothing to lose. they're going to go. they're staying with the civilian population. before we started bombing, they said in two weeks, we're going to start bombing. so they prepared. they weren't in big groups. they were with the civilians. they prepared.
4:09 am
>> we're going halfway. so we're giving isis even more credibility than ever before because it looks like we're fighting, but we're only doing five air strikes every two days. yesterday's apache helicopters were flying low. they're in harm's way. if not for them, they were going to take the airport. so the iraqi troops are running the opposite direction rather than engaging. it's the kurds fighting. >> i disagree. i think we're going a lot less than halfway. you're not going halfway. >> it's all for show. >> we're not going halfway. and probably baghdad will fall because you look at what's going on, you look at what's happening with the military. the generals -- i mean, i don't know who our generals are. i know general dempsey and i've heard him. but he doesn't sound like mcarthur to me. i don't know what's going on militarily. but it's hard to believe this can all be happening. and the iraqis as far as fighting for themselves, they have proven to be very good at giving away our equipment and fleeing. >> they're great at that. >> it's a big mess over there.
4:10 am
>> a terrible situation. >> we thank you very much for joining us on this monday at this time. he always joins us. >> on columbus day where he could have taken the day off. i'm sure he gets plenty of sick days. >> now heather childers has the headlines. >> some other news we're following for you. we begin with two young children seriously hurt at a new hampshire halloween festival when a bounce house goes airborne. witnesses say a wind gust flew it up 30 feet high before landing it in an orchard nearly 50 feet away. all with two toddlers inside. >> we had a couple of hay bales in front of it. the tickets weren't on sale yet. no one was supposed to have been in there. >> the three-year-old was released from the hospital as the two-year-old remains in critical condition. officials say the bounce house was not set up yet and the children should not have been playing inside. two similar happened in may, one in colorado when a bounce house there with two children inside was blown nearly 300 feet. and in new york, three young
4:11 am
children hurt after being dropped from a bounce house that was lifted by the wind. a new jersey community standing together following horrific revelations of hazing on a local high school football team. hundreds of people gathering to rally against bullying and sexual abuse. many showing support for the football players after their entire season had been canceled. >> hopefully because of the courage and the strength and the perseverance of these young men who came forward, it will heal the community as well as healing them. >> seven students between 15 and 17 years old, they have been arrested and they could be tried as adults and they face up to five years in prison. she starred in films like "django unchained" and "frozen river." >> how many bedrooms? >> three. i got kids. >> how old? >> five and 15. >> but this morning, actress
4:12 am
misty upham is missing. she was last seen leaving her apartment on an indian reservation in washington last week. her family says she has a medical condition. she has been under a lot of stress, but they say they're confident she's still alive. and it was a trip that promised to be out of this world. more than 200,000 people signed up to take off on a one-way televised mission but experts say that ground breaking reality show won't last very long. according to scientists at mit, the cast will likely begin dying after 68 days in space. the reason? they won't have enough food. even if they made it all the way to mars, any plants they bought would produce too much oxygen, leading to suffocation. so that's one reality show you don't want to be part of. >> it's not really a trip to mars. it's a trip to die in 68 days. >> exactly. >> let's see how many people sign up for that. thanks, heather. meanwhile, it's a story that everybody is talking about. ebola is now spreading inside
4:13 am
4:17 am
this is a fox news alert. confirmation that the ebola virus has spread here on american soil. the patient? a texas nurse who treated thomas duncan, the first victim, when he came home from a trip to liberia. >> we don't know what occurred in the care of the index patient, the original patient in dallas. but at some point there was a breach in protocol and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. >> a professor of health policy at the harvard school of public health joins us this morning. thank you for being with us. we were talking during the break, you said you're not worried about this and i want you to explain to our viewers why you're not worried because the president originally said the disease is not coming here to america and it has come here.
4:18 am
cdc saying that the nurse didn't follow protocol. she's saying she did. what's the problem and why aren't you worried? >> so first and foremost, i think the big thing we have to do now is focus on making sure the nurse gets the right treatment and gets better. after we focus on that, i think the big question here is what happened and how do we make sure this doesn't happen in other situations? the reason i'm not worried, let's get to your question right away -- is that ebola is stoppable in the u.s., if we execute on the protocol effectively. we know what to do. the problem is it's really hard to do it consistently every time. >> exactly. the national nurses united, which is a professional organization with the nurses and also a nurses union as well, they say hey, you're scapegoating the nurse who contracted it by saying she did something wrong with the break the protocol business because you're right, if you follow the protocol, you won't get sick.
4:19 am
but the nurses union says look, they're not training a lot of us. they're saying go on to the web site of the cdc and figure out what you need to do. that's not enough. >> no, that's not enough. first and foremost, i think we have to stop any effort to blame the nurses. not the nurse's fault. you have to think about what these people are doing. these doctors and nurses are putting themselves in harm's way taking care of patients with ebola. they're heroic people and i have no interest in blaming them. so the question is what is going on? i think the answer is really simple. these people have not gotten adequate training. you really need to drill on getting this right every time. one small mistake can leave you dead. i don't think the staff have been adequately trained. >> is she going to spread this throughout the hospital now? do we need to worry about people she's come in contact with? >> no, i'm not worried about that and i'll tell you why. first, you only spread the virus when you have symptoms.
4:20 am
so if you're not having fever, if you're not throwing up, if you're not doing all the other stuff that develops, then you can not spread the virus. so when she was out there feeling fine, she was not infectious. >> okay. apparently she was in contact with one person and they've already put that person in isolation. >> and her dog. >> thank you for joining us today from boston with what you know. >> thank you for having me. coming up, 20 minutes after the top of the hour. we now know what may have caused formula one racer michael schumacher's brain injury and it's something your kid is probably using. we're going to explain coming up. and from hollywood hunk to daddy daycare. josh duhamel on his way to the curvy couch to talk about fatherhood this morning.
4:24 am
time for news by the numbers. eight. that's how many infants tested positive for tuberculosis in texas. this after it was discovered a nurse's assistant infected with tb works in the el paso hospital's nursery for weeks before showing symptoms. next, group of base jumpers leap from an 1100-foot tall tower in malaysia. it was all caught on camera. good camera work. the three men were making a splash, landing in a pool during a roof top party. finally, $26.8 million, "gone girl" takes the top spot. i'll tell you the movie i saw over the weekend with steve carell. >> what's it called?
4:25 am
>> "the one terrible worst day" whatever. i couldn't wait for it to end. >> in the new film -- look who is here. in the new film "you're not you," the task of finding a competent care giver takes a toll on a couple. >> she said she was going to be late? >> she's not coming. >> what do you mean? is it all day she's not coming? >> as in i let her go. >> wait, wait, wait. what? >> she made me feel like a patient. i'm not a patient. >> kate. >> and joining us right now is devoted dad and husband and actor josh duhamel. tell us about that movie, because brian was looking for a movie this weekend and apparently went to the wrong one. >> i'm not sure i want brian to go see this. no, it's a really, really good movie. hillary swank --
4:26 am
>> you said you always wanted to work with her. >> she's incredible. and emmy is incredible in this movie. it's about a woman who is suffering from als and not only how it affects her, but how it affects all the people around her. >> wow. this is a tough movie to do, i imagine. >> yeah. it wasn't a lot of fun to me because it's not easy subject matter. but at the same time, the movie is really, really good. i'm happy to say that i'm very proud of this movie. >> it's a tough topic. but at the end of the day, you get to go home to your wife, fergie, and your now one-year-old son, axel. >> thank god they're both perfectly healthy. >> and axel is a typical one-year-old? >> he's 13 months old who is all over the place. >> did you learn how to be a parent when you filmed your movie with katherine heigle? >> i learned how to be a bad parent in that movie. >> what's your son like? what have you learned about
4:27 am
parenthood? >> oh, my gosh. he is a ball of fire. it's everything everybody says it's going to be. we really love the little dude. he's happy and healthy and super cute and we'd love to have ten more. >> at what age are you going to tell him how famous you and his mom are? >> we're already instilling that. >> talk to our agent. if you want something from gerber, talk to our agent. >> who do you think he looks like? >> like his mom for sure. >> that kind of looks like threw. >> he's got some good gene, i tell you what. a looker. >> thank you. >> luckily he's not -- josh, your son is not hungry. there are a lot of kids in this world who are when they go to bed every night and you teamed up with unilever to help alleviate that. >> that was a big reason -- i've done a little bit of work in the past, but i think once you
4:28 am
become a parent and you realize that there are -- and i didn't realize that one in five kids in the u.s. don't know where their next meal is coming from. which blew me away. how can that even be considering we're the richest country in the world? so many kids are suffering that way. the work that ynilever is trying to create a better future for kids. we're trying to get people to either volunteer to donate food, donate money, whatever they can do and the easiest way to sort of help is by going to projectsunlight.us and seeing what you can do in your country. >> in the movie, you're not you? >> some people come on the couch and they just don't feel comfortable. i've never seen somebody more comfortable on the couch. >> really? >> you came in and you're like this. >> you just look like you want to live here.
4:29 am
>> do you like the view? >> i want to say hi to my dad. my dad is definitely watching. >> where does he live? >> it's going to be his birthday in a couple weeks. he lives in minnesota. >> what are some of the things you're thinking about getting him? >> i'm not getting him a ladder because he fell off the ladder earlier this year. >> is he okay? >> you're going to get him a handyman. >> no kidding. that's a good idea for his birthday. >> i know he's proud of you and he'll be watching your movie, too. >> yes, we will. >> minnesota, the land of 10,000 handymen, so it shouldn't be hard. josh, thank you very much. >> thank you. coming up on this monday morning, amid the threat of ebola and isis militants, one liberal news anchor reveals what really terry meeuwsen phis her. >> -- terrifies her. >> at this point i feel more terror every time i see blue lights than when i think about ebola or isis. >> okay. she's more scared of the police. more from her crude comparison coming up.
4:30 am
4:33 am
a fox news alert this morning. a decontamination phase is underway inside a dallas apartment of that nurse that was infected with the ebola virus. doctors say she likely caught that deadly bug while caring for thomas duncan at the hospital. he was the first person to die from ebola here on u.s. soil. nbc news issuing mandatory isolation for its chief medical correspondent and for her crew after dr. nancy snyderman left her quarantined area to visit her favorite soup restaurant in
4:34 am
new jersey. >> great. >> snyderman and her crew were ordered to stay inside after being exposed to the virus in west africa. they ignored that warning. her cameraman is already being treated for ebola, as you know we reported that last week. >> meanwhile, we've been asking for the last two weeks, isn't it time to ban travel to the united states from the ebola-stricken countries because we have heard from people at cdc and infectious disease, you got to leave the borders open, although there are some congressmen on the republican side who say at the very least, let's restrict visas. we wanted to know what you thought and you lighted up the e-mail machine and there is mike on facebook who says the question is, why hasn't this been done yet when over 24 other countries already have? >> agreed. and brenda on facebook says no, you can't logically ban all flights from europe and/or elsewhere. >> because if people fly from west africa to europe, we allow
4:35 am
them to come in from there, it could get complicated. the airlines should take responsibility, ed says, for their employees and cancel the flights to west africa on their own. other countries have. >> that's why air france and british air have both restricted travel. they don't fly in or out of any of those three nations anymore. >> on another network, one anchor thought that this ebola crisis is bad, and so is isis, but not nearly as bad as our police? listen. >> that issue of losing the community and people losing faith, i feel -- amen, i am there. like at this point, i feel much more terror every time i see blue lights than when i think about ebola or isis, like it feels to me like -- not coming for me, but anywhere on the street. i feel okay. please, god, don't make me have to interact here because these videos make it feel like there is nothing that makes you safe.
4:36 am
>> do you like the blue lights when they come and help you on the side of the road or when they help you after your house has been broken into? you like those blue lights when catastrophe hits and they're able to pull the telephone poles off the middle of the road? it's unbelievable. >> she's comparing apples to oranges. the blue lights getting pulled over by the police to getting ebola? i mean, yeah, you do feel a little nervous when you see the blue lights in the back of the car, but that is nothing compared to ebola. ebola is a deadly disease. it's killing people. >> isis is cutting people's heads off and she's more afraid of blue lights. by the way, in the "new york times" today, there is an item about msnbc, which is the network she works at, talks about how they have fallen so far behind -- they are solidly in third place in this third quarter. >> you wonder why. >> and you wonder why. what do you think about that? you can facebook, e-mail us or tweet us. we're going over to heather childers who has got the very latest from oscar pistorius'
4:37 am
trial. >> not the first controversial comments that particular host has made either. oscar pistorius could learn his fate as early as today. testimony is now underway in the sentencing phase. we're told he walked into court in south africa very relaxed, hugging and kissing family members. he was convicted of manslaughter in the shooting death of his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. he faces up to 15 years behind bars. michael schumacher's devastating head injuries apparently caused by a head-mounted go-pro camera. this new report claims the camera cracked his helmet on impact during that horrible ski accident. head injuries. he is now said to be slowly walking from a medically induced coma. that's some good news there. former nsa chief coming out in favor of individual liberties. michael hayden, former director of the national security agency, says that he doesn't think the government should prosecute the
4:38 am
"new york times" reporter who blew theid off the agency's surveillance of americans. that reporter is facing jail time if he doesn't come forward and reveal his sources. and here is something to cheer about on this monday morning. an airman surprises his girlfriend, his cheerleader girlfriend on the side lines during the redskins-cardinals game in arizona. not only did he come home early from the middle east, he popped the question. >> looks like we have a guest. >> and that must have been good luck for the home team because the cardinals won 30-20. so congratulations. >> very nice. >> the entire stadium got to witness that because as a cheerleader, i'm sure she feels very connected to that team. >> she said yes. >> of course. >> honey, pack up the parachute and go back up. meanwhile, 22 before the top of the hour, extreme weather in the midwest, new video from
4:39 am
oklahoma city. check out the lightning. the storm also producing massive hail and this morning a tornado watch is in effect over much of the plains states. let's head outside to maria molina whose fiance took that stamp chaser video. >> that's right. across areas in oklahoma city and farther to the west. the storms moved toward portion of eastern oklahoma. you're look at areas in texas impacted by this line of storms. there is a tornado watch in effect across parts of texas, oklahoma, arkansas, and louisiana. that is in effect until 11:00 a.m. central time. it's likely that we're going to continue to see these watches being in effect farther off towards the east. from louisiana up into southern portions of illinois. we do have something considered a moderate risk. that was issued by the storm prediction center. that's because there

'cause i'm dying for it to turn on. >> thanks. >> is that newheart or rhoda? >> charlie's angels? >> where is chulo when we need him? >> "rhoda." >> thank you. is that off the air? >> we're almost. >> you're still on. coming up on this monday morning, north carolina republican senate candidate tom tillis ready to beat his

democratic opponent. could a guy operating out of his basement who is a pizza delivery gay spoil his chances? we'll talk to tillis about his outlook live next. and six people, including three children in unbelievable danger as their ship sinks right in front of them. then a good samaritan saves the day and the camera rolling. >> but first, the "fox & friends" question of the day. born on this very day on the 13th in 1941, this left handed simon and garfunkel singer plays guitar -- >> that narrow it is down. >> who is he? be the first to e-mail us with the correct answer. >> it's a 50/50 chance, people! ♪ ♪
4:45 am
two inedcrle rescues caught on camera. first, lifeguards hoisting three swimmers to safety from a cave in san diego. they jumped in the water, but became trapped by the pummeling waves. six people, including three children, were pulled one by one to safety after their boat sinks in the middle of the ocean. >> our boat started taking on water. >> you okay? >> yeah. >> thankfully there was a man on his way home from a regatta in miami. he heard the cries for help and rushed to save the family that was stranded in the water as they were struggling to stay afloat. they were tossed into the water when a huge wave crashed their 24-foot boat. thankfully they're alive. it's one of the most closest watched races in the country. north carolina, that's the state we're focusing on where this libertarian pizza guy could be delivering a lot more than just pepperoni and cheese come november. with poll numbers reaching as high as 7%. he may turn up a surprise for
4:46 am
senator hagin or tillis. he's the republican candidate for senate republicanning against kay hagin. speaker tillis, thank you for joining us. first off, the big theme this subplot to this election is these third party independent candidates. you're running against a sitting senator. how do you run against that? >> well, first, good morning. i think what we do is continue to focus on senator hagin and her failed policies, the fact that she votes with the president 96% of the time and the president says his policies are on the ballot. we're running against senator hagin to get a majority in the u.s. senate and start turning this country around. that's our message. that's what we're continuing to focus on and we're doing a very good job of getting the support of people in north carolina. >> the real clear has you trailing by two points. a lot of very impactful ads going on on both sides. when you talk about foreign policy, those experts said six months ago it's not going to matter. now it matters a lot. you focusing on her attendance when it comes to the armed services committeeç in which se
4:47 am
serves. >> that's right. senator hagin saw her way clear to miss a classified briefing on isis on the armed services committee to go to a cocktail fund-raiser literally on park avenue. this is an example of her misplaced priorities and not showing up for the armed services committee meetings for more than half of the time and this past year as isis emerged as a threat, is a disgrace. that's what the people of north carolina need to understand. senator hagin's priorities are not the priorities of the state with the third largest military presence of any state in the nation. >> here is a little of that ad. >> armed services committee holds a hearing on new global threats. senator kay hagin, absent. in fact, hagin missed half the armed services committee hearings this year. mile isis grew, obama kept waiting and kay hagin kept quiet. the price for their failure is danger. to change direction, we have to change our senator.
4:48 am
>> and senator hagan wants to change direction. she's attacking you with your role currently in the state as cutting $500 million out of education. politifact says that's not true, but the ad is resonating. >> when senator hagan cast her last vote for a budget in 2008, she left behind a definite sit where democrats who were in the leadership cut almost $800 million in education spending. we've increased spending by a billion dollars a year. senator hagan will stop at nothing to distract people from her failed policy. voting with the president 96% of the time. i asked her in the debate last week, did she wregget any of those decisions and she essentially said no. she has doubled down and rubber stamped president obama's policies that's destroying the economy, making safe and secure. that's what we're going to continue to focus on. we're not going to let senator hagan shift focus away using false attacks. >> by the way, senator hagan is
4:49 am
definitely invited on the show to give her side of the show. finally, what do you think it will take to close that gap of the two points in the last weeks that remain? >> i think continuing to do what we're doing. we're trending positively in the polls. the ground game making sure that everyone knows what the serious consequences of letting president obama and senator hagan continue to take the country in the wrong direction, destroying the economy, making us less safe and secure, no comprehensive strategy for ebola, no comprehensive strategy for isis. people in north carolina are concerned about these issues and we're going to continue to focus on them. that's why we're going to win on november 4. just 22 days away. >> thanks so much. appreciate you joining us. >> thanks. here is what's straight ahead, parents, have you heard of an app called snapchat? we guarantee you your kids have. and now hackers want to expose thousands of their pictures on line. curt the cyber guy is here with a warning you need to hear next because everyone is told in 30 seconds they're gone forever.
4:50 am
4:53 am
it was either simon or garfunkel. today is paul simon's birthday. he's 73. ourç winner, john from fort lauderdale will get a copy of brian's book "george washington's secret six." by the way, happy birthday, paul simon. parents, have you heard of an app called snapchat? your kids certainly have. they use it to send pictures privately, they think, to friends using smart phones. but a lot of those pictures
4:54 am
won't be private much longer. hackers have threatened to leak 200,000 photos and videos stolen from snapchat's servers. so with nearly half of its users between 13 and 17 years old, what do parents need to know to keep their kids safe? joining us is curt the cyber guy. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. you wake up monday morning. you find out your kids are using a technology that many of which, not all, are using it in ways that you would never want to have happen to not just your family, but to your child, 'cause it affects their life for the rest of their life. and kids are under this illusion by using snapchat, which let's do the basics of what it is. this is an app incredibly, incredibly popular, used by millions of teens and adults that have grown to like it. why? because it's that illusion that you can take a photograph or a video and share it with someone else and it has an expiration date on it. it will disappear after a few
4:55 am
seconds if you set it that way. >> all of my kids have snapchat and they send pictures to each other and they say, dad, it just disappears. it will be gone forever in just a couple of seconds. that's not true. >> exactly. what we're learning this morning is not only what is broken over the weekend, but what we're learning about snapchat is that there are third party apps and also -- snap save. >> that's the one that got hacked and they admitted to it, over the weekend, about 200,000 images. now, people are using snapchat for fun, but they're also using it to share inappropriate images, thinking they're going to disappear. but ala, no. it is out there and now we have people that have their private parts shared around the world and now hacker is threatening to release all those simply to bring the awareness of snapchat does not have the level of security that it has led its users to believe. >> sure. >> it's a wake-up call. >> you've got some advice. >> i've got advice.
4:56 am
so parents, come on. reel it in. you know your relationship with your child, but really it's about getting on the ball here, tell your kids that online, absolutely nothing, regardless of the illusion that they live in, nothing is private, period. number two, you want to have like a medium reaction to your child. you take off their device, period. >> just delete it. >> just delete it. now that requires you to take control of their device, but that is if you find out something isn't really cool. >> and big trouble, the final step? >> if you want to go extreme. 40 bucks a month, a app called m spy which will notify the parents any time the child uploads anything o snapchat or a variety of other service which is is a little bit hyper vigilant for a parent. if you're going to do that, my advice would be have the conversation with your child. don't just be sneaky 'cause that doesn't build family trust either. great to see you. there is more on the web site. >> thank you, cyber guy. >> delete it. coming up, the latest ebola
4:57 am
5:00 am
good morning. today is monday, october 13, i'm ainsley earhart filling in for elisabeth. we begin with a fox news alert. america is on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person to be infected with ebola in the united states. the authorities are playing the blame game now, saying it was all her own fault. but is the government actually doing enough? bret baier, he's going to be weighing in on this straight ahead. and remember when this bouncy house blew away like that right there? guess what? it happened again with two kids inside. the warnings all parents need to hear coming up. it's a "fox & friends" exclusive. our interview with mark cuban. a billionaire who watches what he says? are you worried about political correctness? >> i'm not worried so much
5:01 am
because i don't give a damn. >> and wait until you hear what he thinks about washington politics. mornings are better with friends. >> welcome back to the curvy couch. every monday morning at this time we dial in that guy, bret baier. good morning to you, bret. >> good morning. >> the big news this morning is that there is a second person infected in dallas. this is after thomas duncan died last week. apparently there was a breach in protocol. this was a nurse at the hospital took care of the guy. they're essentially throwing the nurse under the bus because they say somehow she didn't follow awe the rules. when it comes to who is in charge for the united states of america, of the ebola crisis, who is that person? do we know? >> there is not an ebola czar
5:02 am
with the administration. but the cdc and tom frieden has been leading the way. they've been doing these press conferences. a couple of things, it's important to point out a breach of protocol could be taking off the protective wear and accidental lee hitting it on the wall and then the virus in this small droplet of body fluid is transmitted to the health worker. i mean, this is really complicated stuff. that's why there is so much caution around dealing with these ebola patients. >> right. it's not so much -- i think this is the first time we have somebody in america who got the case in america and people are concerned obviously hospital workers, experts. can you imagine civilians who might have been in contact with her who didn't have these suits and the question is, are these the right suits, is something else that could come up. let's switch gears and talk about the other major story happening, a war against isis.
5:03 am
how is itç going? susan rice was asked that question and listen to her fascinating answer. >> this is going to take time. so it can't be judged by merely what happens in one particular town or in one particular region. this is going to take time and the american people need to understand that our aim here is a long-term degradation and building the capacity of our partners. >> that one town in baghdad, do you think we should be patient? >> it's interesting to hear the different people talk about this. susan rice with the administration, chairman of the joint chiefs, general mark dempsey talking about it as well, saying there could very well be a change here and the recommendation to do more. already last week we saw u.s. apache helicopters being used to push back isis terrorists around baghdad to help iraqi troops. now, that's not boots on the ground. we hate that term anyway. but it's boots very close to the ground. it's close --
5:04 am
>> dangerous for the apache chopper. >> yeah. and it's very dangerous for someone in the apache. >> why do they trot her out every time there is something ridiculous going on? she doesn't -- she thinks what's obviously not true. this is not going well. why do they trot her out to say it is going well and we have to be patient when kabbani will fall, 10,000 people could be killed, and baghdad is under siege and the iraqis are running the other way? >> i mean, her statement was this is a long-term problem and a long-term -- the american people really need to realize this is not going to be solved overnight. that is true, substantially. but what's also true is that in the interim, big things can happen. if the u.s. does not change how it's operating. i think you're starting to hear that not only from the ground, but from the pentagon. >> at least this time she's not blaming isis on a video. >> right. >> let's move on to the irs scandal because democrats
5:05 am
allegedly stopped this investigation because, according to the senator pat roberts, it leads to the white house. take a listen. >> by the majority, by the democrats in the congress to simply end that investigation. i'm convinced that even valerie jarrett was involved. i think this was white house driven. i think all of the information that i saw leads to that. we really have to finish this investigation. this is pretty serious business. this is egregious. we're talking about first amendment rights and freedom of speech. >> extremely serious information if it's the case. democrats whitewashing this investigation? >> clearly republicans feel like there is much more to go after here and much more to look into. it's important to put in context that senator roberts is engaged in a very tough campaign, reelection campaign in kansas, not to say what he said is not true. but so far we haven't seen the evidence that points directly to valerie jarrett. so just in that context, you
5:06 am
have to take that statement. i think most republicans will tell you there is a lot more meat on the bone when it comes to the irs investigation up on capitol hill. >> if senator roberts was more outgoing and in the forefront six months ago, he probably wouldn't be in the fight of his life to keep his senate seat. >> yeah. and most people are saying he may be able to pull this out. but it's neck in neck in kansas. that's a big deal. >> sure. i was watching your show a couple of nights ago and there is a new poll out that shows that he's actually now ahead of mr. orman. let me ask you this: what will happen with this irs investigation if the republicans do take control of the senate? i know with the republicans in the house that's one thing. but if they have control of both, does that change anything? >> it does. in fact, the senate would then get engaged on this and it would move forward and you might actually see some different tactics as far as the senate investigation. then you would have the senate and the house calling on various
5:07 am
things from the administration that so far haven't happened. >> you might have 300 bills tucy being voted on. can you imagine that? bret, if it's all right with you, we have you down on the schedule to host tonight at 6:00 o'clock, "special report." >> i'll see to that. >> we'll be watching. >> have a good day. those are some of your headlines. we've got more for you. heather childers, take it away. >> other news going on, we've been following this. a new jersey community standing together following horrific revelations of hazing on a local high school football team. hundreds of people gathering to rally against bullying and sexual abuse. many showing support for the football players after their entire season had been canceled. >> hopefully because of the courage and the strength and the perseverance of these young men who came forward, it will heal a community as well as healing them. >> seven students between 15 and 17 years old have been arrested. they could be tried as adults and face up to five years in
5:08 am
prison. two young children seriously hurt at a new hampshire halloween festival when a bounce house goes airborne. witnesses say that a wind gust blew it up to 30 feet high before it finally landed in an orchard 50 feet away. all with two toddler brothers inside. >> we had a couple of hay bales in front of it. the ride wasn't open. the tickets weren't on sail yet. no one was supposed to have been in there. >> the three-year-old was released from the hospital. but the two-year-old remains in critical condition. two similar accidents happened in may. one in colorado when a bounce house with two children inside was blown nearly 300 feet. in new york, three young children hurt after being dropped from a bounce house, lifted by the wind. new developments in the deadly haunted hay ride crash in maine. investigators now blaming a mechanical problem for the accident. 17-year-old cassidy was killed. 22 others injured when the
5:09 am
trailer pulled by an old jeep jackknifed on a narrow dirt road, striking a tree. police say something kept the vehicle from stopping. the farm reopens today. but the hay ride will be closed for the rest of the season. and what is hotter than fire? shiracha sauce and taco bell is testing a new menu featuring the extreme hot topping. it's infused -- they infuse them, including nacho supreme, breakfast scrambler burrito and a loaded griller, but you can also request any item be topped with the sauce. right now it is only available in the kansas city area taco bells. but it sounds like you guys are in favor of that. >> i have that sauce every morning with my eggs. >> youió do? >> i had today. >> i never heard of it. >> you got to get out more. >> is it like tabasco? >> it's spicy. it's a spicy -- i think it's from thailand chili sauce.
5:10 am
>> i'm going to stick to the cinnamon twists they have at taco bell. i can't do the spicy stuff. you like that stuff? >> you have one before the show? >> every morning. >> does it clear your sinuses? >> no. >> you do it 'cause you like it? >> i like things spicy, baby. >> your esophagus is probably crying every morning. >> not at all. coming up, you may not want your kids to watch twilight ever again after what actress kristen stewart just said about our members of the military. here is a preview. soldiers are stupid and terrorists should be saved. >> they're just misunderstood. a doomsday cyber attack a real threat to america? the white house seems to think so. fox business senior correspondent charles gasparino has been woken up and he's here now to talk about it. ♪ ♪
5:14 am
a terrifying turn of events for customers at one of america's largest banks. earlier this month, hackers broke into more than 83 million accounts at jpmorgan chase. but would you believe this? they did not steal a dime. why not? charlie gasparino from the "fox business" network is here to explain all of this and he just
5:15 am
broke a major story on line that behind the scenes the white house has a lot of fears, many fears that this same type of attack could actually happen on a much larger scale and our government is not ready. >> it's probably why not, it's not yet. i can tell you that president obama is very worried that this is going to happen at some point. he gave a bunch of fundraisers in new york last week, i had sources that were at those fund-raisers. it was more than just raising money. he spoke about what's on his mind. he doesn't believe ebola, for example, is a huge threat. he knows there is an issue, but he said he's confident we're going to get it under control. what he does think is a huge threat is cyber terrorism. he's worried about a doomsday scenario. he made the point that these three guys and a server could do more damage than bonnie and clyde could do in 1,000 years. >> i believe it. >> so that's where we are. >> what do we do about it? >> the government and private industry and banks have to work together. that's the bottom line. he did not lay out a plan.
5:16 am
but as you know, jpmorgan, 83 million customers hacked. jpmorgan is pretty sophisticated walls up, but they know that they're under attack every day. so they're going to have to put up even more walls as these hackers get more sophisticated on what they do. but the government is under siege as well. that's one of the issues i hear that president obama is worried about. that some hacker could get into a government database and start erasing people's personal data. taking you off the grid, as they put it, with your social security, eliminating you from existence on the government computers. >> that's scary. >> that is one of the things the president and his people are worried about. >> hopefully the president and his people do have a plan because jamie dimon, the ceo says he needs the government's help. take a listen. >> we're very close to the government. we need the government's help, so the government, think the government knows more than we do. we have to be vigilant. this is a big deal, been going on for a long time. there will be a lot of battles. unfortunately some will be lost. this isn't just us.
5:17 am
>> he says he's been working with the state department very closely. this doesn't just affect individuals. this affects endowments, foundations, major corporations. >> jamie dimon runs the biggest bank in the country, one of the biggest banks in the world. every major business does business with jpmorgan. millions of individuals. i have my accounts there. we should point out that the data breach that occurred recently at jpmorgan, basically your personal data, the real sensitive personal data was not hacked in. your name, address, i'm not saying that's good. but the stuff that people can use to steal money from you, that was not hacked. >> at first people were thinking social security numbers, none of that. but. >> but this happened so much. i will say this, it's kind of interesting that everybody is talking about this now because i do know for a fact, because i've been reporting this on the "fox business" network, that jamie dimon and jpmorgan have been under attack for the past three years, every day. many times a day. they've been working with the government every day.
5:18 am
so should not come as a surprise to president obama that this is a big issue. >> china, russia and iraq are attacking them constantly. >> mainly, those are the three. >> thank you so much. and don't miss charlie gasparino's show on the "fox business" network. to find what channel is in your area, go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. thanks so much. coming up, people get stuck in a tram car dangling above a pit of orangutans. the rescue is all caught on tape. and more of brian's exclusive interview with the "shark tank" star mark cuben. >> i'm not worried so much 'cause i don't give a damn. >> when you're a billionaire, you don't have to. the billionaire is telling all next. ok
5:22 am
time for headlines this morning. oscar pistorius about to learn his fate. testimony now underway at his sentencing trial just weeks after he was convicted of manslaughter in girlfriend reeva steenkamp's death. he walked into court this morning seemingly relaxed. he hugged some family members. he is facing 15 years in jail. the brand-new orangutan center at the indianapolis zoo shut down for hours while visitors were trapped in sky cars 35 feet in the air. animals were secured. the fire department rescued the 18 people above the orangutans.
5:23 am
earlier in the show i talked with business billionaire and superstar owner of the dallas mavericks, mark cuban. up next, sports and politics. what does he think about the direction of the country, where we're going now, and does he regret those comments he made in the wake of the donald sterling scandal? watch. >> how would you describe the way roger goodell handled some of the most controversial things in professional sports. >> i mean, i'm not a fan of what he did. he's in a tough position. what happened with the nfl, i think they've gotten a little bit too proud of them selves, is the way to put it. when roger got out there and started talking about how they're going to deal with these issues, he started talking about policy. he didn't deal with culture and substantial issues. he kept saying, if we just tweak this, if we tweak that, we'll be okay. that's not really the problem. >> there was a big story in the nba, everybody is talking about donald sterling. you came out and you do this thing called answering people's questions instead of ducking or going out the back and you're
5:24 am
very honest. >> if i see black kid in in a hoody at night on the other side of the street, i'm probably going to walk to the other side of the street. if i see a white guy with a shaved head and lots of tattoos, i'm going back to the other side of the street. >> you don't regillette -- regret saying that? >> no. i wasn't contract to the trayvon martin, soy probably could have praised it differently. my point, i'll stand behind it then and today, i'm going to be concerned about my safety when it's late at night and i'm going to do what it takes to protect myself. >> we've gone too far. you worried about political correctness? >> i'm not worried so much because i don't give a damn. >> you're never going to be politically correct. >> no! god forbid i'm politically correct. i don't care. >> where is this economy at? where is the country at? >> look, this is america. the country is always in a good place. you're going to go through cycles over a period of time. but what makes us different is the american dream is alive and
5:25 am
well. >> do you sense that some people say that this is true, that there is a sense of entitlement with the next generation, they're not as hungry as you guys are? >> it's not so much that they're not hungry. they keep on being taught if you just ask the question, right, what the question -- there is no such question. so they ask questions, which is not a bad thing. what the questions have evolve to do with young kids is, would do you this for me? so they'll ask that as opposed to when i was coming up, was like my orientation was to do it for myself. >> what role do you think washington should play? >> as little as possible. i vote for the guy who will do the least. >> in what way? >> about everything because again, politicians are there to be reelected. i don't think they do a good job of thinking. i don't care if it's republicans or democrats. there is no difference between the two. they're there to get elected. and i think what i look for is would you just stay out of the way? because the more they try to do, the harder it gets. >> you consider yourself a libertarian, it sounds like?
5:26 am
>> i have in the past. but libertarian -- i'd like to be a libertarian. i want to believe that this country is better when it's more laissefair. but you can't change the rules midstream. we have to look at where we're at and say -- like ron paul. he says let's get rid of everything. you can't do that midstream. you say here is where we're at and here is where we want to be. >> you're concerned about privacy. >> it's not so much the nsa i'm worried about, it's the fact that everything that we do is now on line. if iç go on line, if you have facebook or twitter, tumbler, if you have any other social network, i can probably look at what you've done over the last five years and know more about you than you know about you. >> communicate. >> has president obama lived up to your expectations? >> i think he's done some things right and some things wrong. like anybody else.
5:27 am
he's trying to do his best. i don't expect perfection. i expect him to get things right and things wrong, just like i did with president bush. >> both these people you know. steve jobs. >> the one guy that i've never met that i wish i had. >> kevin o'leary, mr. wonderful of "shark tank." >> temper in the tea pot. >> edward snowden. >> i go back and forth. >> bill o'reilly? >> i like bill. i really, really, do. >> you as a dad? >> room for improvement, but -- people ask, what do you want your legacy to be? i want my kids to be happy. i want my kids to be healthy and i want them to make the mark in the world. >> on your bucket list, where was doing an interview with me? >> one of those things that i never imagined could come true. so it's like the pillow talk thing. you're sitting this talking to your wife and going oh, man, brian kilmeade. >> 'cause it happened 'cause you believed in yourself, mark. >> seriously? >> give him a second. back off. they're okay. you all right now?
5:28 am
mark cuban, thanks so much. by the way, right now he is on cyber dust. go download the app for free and he will answer all your questions, mcubean. >> it's like a private texting service? >> yeah. and he says unlike snapchat, it actually goes away. if he has any questions about anything, he just watched and will answer all your questions. >> great interview. he's very witty. i like the way you responded. >> man, is he rich. >> he sure is. >> a nice guy. very nice of him to come out. >> i hope he's watching right now. meanwhile, 28 minutes after the top of the hour. up next, fox news alert. america on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person to be infected with ebola in the united states. how safe are we? the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases joins us live next. and scarlet johansson's esquire sexiest woman alive no more. who just knocked her off the
5:32 am
we got a fox news alert. americans on edge after a nurse in dallas becomes the first person to contract ebola in the united states. the nation's top doctors now say she apparently contracted the disease after treating thomas duncan, the first man to die from ebola on american soil. >> so if this is the case, is enough being done to protect other health workers? joining us now is dr. anthony fauchhi. thank you so much for being with us. >> good to be with you. >> is enough being done?
5:33 am
if not, what more can we do? >> what apparently happened with this unfortunate incident of the nurse getting infected, that there was an innocent, inadvertent breach in protocol. when the protocol of the personal protective equipment is followed through experience over the years, for example, with doctors wow border, they very, very repair rarely get infected. what we need to do better is get better training and awareness of how to precisely implement those protocols. that's exactly what the cdc is doing right now as we speak. they're down in dallas trying to find out how this happened, what happened, and to make sure by intensifying the precise instructions of how to do that particular personal protective equipment maneuvering that this won't happen again. >> you said we need to do a better job at training the people who work in our emergency rooms and hospitals. i've been getting e-mail all
5:34 am
morning and twitter and other social media things from people all across the country who work in hospitals and they say, we haven't gotten any training about what to do with ebola. so how are they going to be ready if nobody has told them what to do? >> right. so there needs to be pro-active reaching out to hospitals in a more pro-active intense way. >> who needs to reach out? >> the cdc is doing that right now. the hospitals themselves. it's two sides to it. the hospitals themselves throughout the country need to be aware that it is possible that someone is going to walk into their emergency room who has gotten off a plane, who has been in west africa, and somehow got infected and wasn't symptomatic when they came over. when that person walks in, they're going to have to learn the exact protocol of what to do with that individual.
5:35 am
the protocols are there. when implemented, they work. what we need is more active training. the cda has ramped that up in the terms of specifically with dallas. they have their a team down there now making sure that the protocols are very well understood. but we need to go beyond that and to virtually have every hospital alert. not every hospital is going to be able to switchly take care of a -- intensively take care of a person, but they at least know how to respond if someone walks in the door. >> you do this every day. i've never stopped an infectious disease from spreading. from the outside looking in, it seems like we do a lot of we should instead of we did, from the outside, because we're still talking about what we should do. chairman mccaul is chairman of the homeland security committee in the house. he said this, i want you to hear this and then tell me what you think. >> i think we need to target more the individual themselves and look at the idea of potentially temporarily
5:36 am
suspending the 13,000 visas that would be coming out of this region, allowing health care workers to go in because they have toç contain the threat. but then when it comes to the original population out of west africa, leaving -- i think until this gets under control, that's a measure that policy makers ought to be look at. >> this isn't just a voice in the crowd. this is a guy with a lot of power and he knows his words matter. what's your thought? >> well, what he's saying is understandable that that would be something that would want to be considered. the only difficulty is when you isolate a country, there are unexpected effects that really could possibly paradoxically make things worse. the best way to protect americans is to completely control and eliminate the epidemic in west africa. when you essentially isolate a country, what happens in there
5:37 am
that they themselves find it more difficult to be able to suppress the epidemic. there could be economic instability. there could be collapse of government. then what happens is that there is a possibility that this epidemic will spread to other african countries, making it even more difficult for us to suppress. >> so the idea that their government might collapse, however, stopping them and containing it is the best way to stop it here? >> that's exactly the point. we've said that over and over again. if there was the outbreak was suppressed the way the 24 prior outbreaks that have occurred in africa over the last 38 years, since 1976, the best twinkling of an eye protect us is to stop the epidemic where it is right now in west africa. >> there are a number of european airlines, i'm sure you know, have stopped flying to those places because they don't want to put their employees in peril. let's shift gears for just a second. there are a number of people in the medical community and other
5:38 am
folks in politics who say one of the problems right now is there is no leadership on this particular ebola crisis. first of all, how does that make you feel? and secondly, who is in charge of the crisis for the united states? >> well, you keep hearing let's have a czar, call it the ebola czar. but it's a complicated, multi-facetted process of what's being done. all of it is fundamentally coordinated out of the white house through the national security council. but for example, when you're on the ground in the west african countries the way many of our staff are right now, particularly the cdc staff, all of that comes under the auspices of usaid and their dots, disaster assistant relief team. when you're here in the united states and you're talking about the thing that we do, hhs has an important role. the department of defense is now
5:39 am
playing an increased role not only in helping with the logistics and the engineering and setting up of the beds up in west africa, all of that is coordinated. the idea of having a czar -- i mean, we've had czars in other areas of crises and not necessarily working out so well. so i think the coordination is good. each individual agency knows what they need to do and we too it in a very collaborative way. >> it would be nice if just one person was in charge, or it was a little clearer, maybe they'll work on that this week. doctor joining us from washington, thank you. >> thank you. >> good to be with you. heather childers has the rest of the news. >> couple of stories to tell you about here. this is really shocking. this morning police looking for a woman who stole a veteran's prosthetic leg outside the eagles-giants game. sonny forest says he was performing on the street when a woman walked up, broke his mic and then stole his leg.
5:40 am
>> she need to get down on her knees and pray to god that that doesn't happen to her or she doesn't get sick or become disabled. >> police later found the leg on a subway car and then returned it to sonny. sad happening. hollywood a lister kristen stewart taking a shot at the u.s. military and defending gitmo detainees. doing the publicity rounds for her film about guantanamo bay, stewart trashed the army gitmo guard that she plays in the film, calling her, quote, simple. also a quote, not very smart. stewart goes on to say that it is unfair to judge the detainees at guantanamo bay because they're not any different from anyone else. what do you think about that? and finally, scarlet johansson dethroned as esquire's sexiest woman of the year. the title goes to penelope cruz. she's the 11th woman to receive the honor by the
5:41 am
magazine. now back to you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. extreme weather way out west. incredible new video from oklahoma city. check out the lightning last night. it produced a lot of hail. this morning a tornado watch is in effect there. let's go outside to maria molina at 48th and 6th avenue talking about what happened overnight. and it's happening now in the southern plains. >> yeah. we had a line of storms pushing through that area across parts of oklahoma and texas. we have strong winds that were reported, a lot of lightning and also large hail. today that line of storms keeps moving eastward. we have a brand-new tornado watch that was issued, including portions of louisiana, into arkansas and also western tennessee and mississippi. that region, that watch is expected to go in effect until 2:00 p.m. local time. so this is going to be continuing throughout the day today. we do have that elevated risk in that zone, from louisiana to parts of southern illinois as we head into this afternoon and also into this evening. expecting severe weather from
5:42 am
texas to parts of indiana and that risk continues tomorrow as that storm system keeps moving eastward. let's head back inside. >> thank you. nine minutes before it becomes ten -- just heard one of the government heads saying we can still trust them in the ebola crisis. but do we have the right to know more? peter johnson, jr. reacts next. plus, suzanne somers is stopping by. >> that's her picture. ç
5:45 am
fox news alert. confirmation this morning the ebola virus has spread here on american soil. the patient? a texas nurse who treated thomas duncan, the first victim, when he first arrived in the united states from liberia. cdc director says there may be more to get ebola. >> it is possible in the coming days that we will see additional cases of ebola.
5:46 am
this is because the health care workers who cared for this individual may have had a breach of the same nature of the individual who appears now to have a preliminary positive test. >> so are americans getting the information they need about the disease and do they have a right to know more? let's talk to peter johnson, jr. >> they have a right to know a lot, lot more. this is a stress test on our civil liberties, on our hospital system, and on truth and transparency. we're missing out on transparency, steve. what we need to know, number one, with regard to this latest incident, is specifically how did this nurse contract the ebola virus. that could be a teaching moment for america and for america's health care workers, nurses, doctors, aides, orderly, to say, listen, when you take the gloves off, don't touch your face. let's know specifically what happened. end the cynicism and the speculation and the endless talking heads saying maybe it's this, maybe it's that. >> they've scapegoated the nurse. >> they have. and the nursing industry said
5:47 am
we're not being properly trained and they're not. let's know specifically so we can save lives going forward. secondly, let's understand why they're sending out folks in haz-mat suits in the neighborhood of victim number two to spray things on the ground, on the grass, on the sidewalk, on the handrails, on the doors. why is that necessary? explain to america that ebola will live for a few hours on a door handle and why they're doing it. that's important. stop the speculation. stop the guessing game. civil liberties are important. we heard yesterday from zeke emmanuel, president's former special advisor on obamacare and other things that say well, this is a high risk procedure that this nurse was probably involved with, intubation or dialysis. maybe in the future we shouldn't be doing those things. we don't want to get to a position where the government decides who lives and who dies if they get ebola. that's not the issue.
5:48 am
let's do a better job today, beginning beginning with sylvia burwell. you've been asking the question and the co-host has been asking the question and brian ask ainsley has been asking, she, miss burwell, is the woman who is in control of the situation. she needs to step up today and tell america what's going on, tell us that there is no reason to be afraid and that we're going to conquer this. we need to all get together. but we need the information, the truth, transparency, and we need it now and today. we don't want panic or talking heads. we want the truth and transparency. that will solve our problem and help solve it around the world. >> you've hit the nail on the head when you said she's in charge because the president called her immediately after he found out, talked to her on the phone and then he went golfing. >> i'm sure she can help. she only has to try. >> peter johnson, jr., america's lawyer, thank you very much. >> good to see you. >> she's in charge of health and human services. she would be in charge. coming up next, suzanne somers is here live next. but coming up -- come on in.
5:49 am
martha mccallum is up in another studio preparing for the next telecast. >> that's right. good morning. we're going to talk about the ebola situation, the cdc says the nurse didn't follow protocol. so what is our strategy? we're going to talk about sylvia burwell and what her roll needs to be. we'll talk to brit hume about the presidential response here. and the isis strategy, is a battle brewing between our military and the white house on this? senator marco rubio answers that question. he is here today as well. and some surprising new polls out of iowa when bill and i see you at the top of the hour. the conference call.

it lets you switch seamlessly from your desk phone to your mobile with no interruptions. i've never felt so alive. get the future of phone and the phones are free. comcast business. built for business. trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. well here's the truth: 46 will save lives. it will save money too. i'm bob pack, and i'm fighting for prop 46 because
5:52 am
i lost my two children to preventable medical errors and i don't want anyone else to lose theirs. the three provisions in 46 will reduce medical errors and protect patients. save money and save lives. yes on 46. this year more than 200,000 women in the united states will be diagnosed with breast cancer. >> it is a life changing moment.
5:53 am
but for suzanne somers, it was a wake-up call. she defied doctors and survived on her own terms and she's listening to me as i introduce her, tv icon and author, suzanne somers. how are you? >> good, really good. >> usually watching us in the middle of the night in california. >> and i do. i have cats. they wake me up and so in order to go back to sleep, i turn you guys on. >> we put you to sleep? >> so the cats lick you up and we put you back to sleep. >> yeah. it's all good. >> i was reading your book "i'm too young for this," lots of great information. i love the list. she goes through a list of all the healthy foods to eat, why they're good for you. you talk about the symptoms of peri menopause. explain that. >> it's a new way to age. no woman says this, but i'm really enjoying aging. i really am. i feel good. i like the way i look. >> you should, you look amazing. >> thank you. and i've been writing these books on hormones, which always
5:54 am
makes brian very nervous when i talk about hormones. >> yes. you know hormones at a level i don't. >> that is true. this is my area. but if you understand it, you can age a whole different way. it's like filling the tank, putting back what you lose in the aging process, filling the tank. >> happens to everybody. >> men and women. my husband has been on hormones for 20 years. i've been on them for 20 or 25 years. this book, if you don't understand anything about hormones, it's like a handbook. if you itch, you'll correlate it to a hormone. like your thyroid, which by the way, your thyroid is better, i can tell. >> really? >> yep. >> congratulations. >> i can tell. >> as i was introducing you, i said you defied the doctors who wanted you to do chemo when you had cancer. >> and three years ago i did something that i think -- this is breast cancer awareness month and i don't usually get no it because i went alternative. i didn't do a drug approach.
5:55 am
if you saw "60 mutes" last week, it's kind of a dismal failure, the present cancer protocol. so the fact that i'm alive and so well and i didn't take any dangerous chemicals or anything. but three years ago when they took my -- they did a lumpectomy, which is sort of a misnomer because when they took the bandages off, i went whoa, i felt like a quarter or so. but two-thirds of my breast was gone. so they wanted to do either an implant or something called a tramflap. i said sew me up. something better will come along. three years ago, it took me three years to qualify for a clinical trial. we regrew this breast and using my own stem cells and my own fat. >> what do you mean you regrew it? >> they took fat from my stomach, boo hoo, spun out the stem cell, discarded the weak ones. >> never heard of that. >> i'm the first woman in the united states to do this
5:56 am
legally. then took the fat that they took and shoved it full of these healthy, alive stem cells, injected it into my breast like a turkey baster, regrew it. it's me. it's real. and it has real feeling, no scars. it's so much better than an implant. >> a much lighter note. >> this we're going to talk about this on the other side of the time out? >> oh, you are? >> stick around. find out what this is. >> i'm going to find out in the break. ♪ ♪
