whoa. what happened here? my the spin stops here came apart, but right back together. thank you for watching us tonight. ms. megyn is next. i'm bill o'reilly, please remember the spin stops here. definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight as the centers for disease control lays out a new battle plan for stopping the spread of ebola in the united states, critics are asking whether the man running the cdc can be trusted with this life and death fight. welcome to "the kelly file" everyone. i'm megyn kelly. a couple of hours ago dr. thomas frieden of the cdc held a news conference outlining new steps to prevent the further spread of the deadly ebola virus, introducing new rapid response teams here and promising to get necessary training to medical workers after a nurse became the latest to be infected. >> now, i've been hearing loud

and clear from health care workers from around the country that they're worried, that they don'té@ feel prepared. in retrospect with 20/20 hindsight we could have sent a more robust infection control team and been more hands number on from day one about exactly how this should be managed. ebola is unfamiliar, it's scary. getting it right is really, really important because the stakes are so high. >> but frieden is coming under serious fire for his medical hindsight, especially given that he said this just a few weeks ago when the firsta.s ebola patients were headed to america. >> virtually any hospital in this country that can do isolation can do isolation for ebola. >> in fact, the administration all but promised that an outbreak would not come here, that if it did, we could catch it at the airport and on the rare chance that that didn't work, the hospitals would know just what to do. now that much of that has largely failed and dr. frieden

yesterday had to admit it may get worse. >> we're concerned and would, unfortunately, not be surprised if we did see additional cases in health care workers who also provided care to the index patient. >> so with more than 70 health care workers now being monitored for this virus, we're starting to hear suggestions like the one from our own bill o'reilly last night. >> frieden should resign. as he well knows. charter flights could carry medical and military personnel to the affected areas in africa. believing that civilian airport people in jfk or newark or dulles airport can spot ebola that is dormant, believing that, is stupid and irresponsible and puts all americans at risk. >> earlier tonight i spoke with dr. thomas frieden, the director of the centers for disease control. sir, thank you very much for being here with us tonight.

so with the cdc, its heart in the right place but its information misplaced and wrong -- >> no, let me correct you on that. our information is clear and correct. but we do look at what happens and we adjust as we need to. we know how ebola spreads. we know how to stop it. we know what is happening, and right now we're doing three things. first, making sure that the care of that nurse is safe and effective. we have more than 20 staff on the ground who are working around the clock making sure that those who care for her do it safely and that she get the best possible care. second, we're making sure that if ebola is found anywhere else in the country, we will put on to the ground immediately staff who can help the hospital do it right there. and third, we're reminding doctors everywhere to think ebola. because whatever you may think, we are an interconnected world. >> understood. but when you say your information is clear and correct, that's not entirely true.

i mean, you yourself assured the american public that we'll stop that hasn't quite happened here in the united states, has it? >> we wish there hadn't been anñ infection. it's terrible that a health care worker got infected, but what we're doing is making sure we stop the chains of transmission. you have to step back and say who is really at risk here? in west africa there's a lot of risk. caring for ebola patients there's a risk and we'll work to minimize that and get it as low as possible. >> i understand that. i'm not blaming you for ebola. ebola is a disease that happens to be ravaging part of the world right now, and we're trying to stop it from coming on our shores and trying to stop it from spreading. i realize that's your number one mandate right now. but let's just be honest about where we are. you did make that assurance, and now we have had somebody die in the united states from ebola. and now a nurse, a health care workers that you assured us that the health care workers would be trained and prepared, has now got this disease. and has as much as a 50% chance

of dying. so the american public looks at you and says why should we trust you and why should we trust the administration when barack obama told us we're prepared if ebola reaches our shores and that the medical personnel adequately trained? >> the fact that a health care worker became infected in the care of a patient with ebola is deeply troubling. what we have to do is take the facts where they are. we still know how to stop ebola. we have cared for patients for decades with ebola. we need to make sure that care is safe. >> but understanding that, right, already you admitted yourself that we've seen some flaws in the system. some areas that need improvement. and that's why you took steps today to offer some of those improvements. why not put a travel ban in place until we've shorn up the system? >> we've already recommended that all nonessential travel to these countries be stopped for americans. we've already put into place screening at the airport where people are leaving and screening at airports where people are

arriving here. we're always looking at ways that we can better protect americans. >> but this is one. ban. a travel ban from west africa until we are certain that our facilities here are up to the task and that our system has solved the flaws that you yourself admitted today exist. >> above all, do no harm. if we do things that are going to make it harder to stop the epidemic there. >> how is it going to make it harder to stop it? >> because you can't get people in andw&7 out. >> why can't we have charter flights? >> charter flights don't do the same thing. >> what do you mean? they fly in and fly out. >> for a week i sat in liberia where the africa union team was stranded in senegal because commercial airline weren't traveling. if we isolate these countries, what's not going to happen is disease staying there. it's going to spread more all over africa and we'll be at higher risk. >> how do you account for the fact that you called it a breach in protocol, the fact that this

nurse hasb. ebola, this nurse t was wearing protective gear has ebola now. u a breach in protocol and not simply that the protocol itself was insufficient? >> we know how ebola spreads. we know how to stop it from spreading. but clearly, what happened at the hospital shouldn't have happened. so we're now looking at that and saying, okay, what's everything we can do to make sure that any time someone's caring for ebola, their risk is kept to an absolute minimum. >> but when i look at the cdc's website, it says when you're putting on thes protective gear as the medical personnel, the nurses have come out and complained that in some hospitals they're posting it on the bulletin board. the nurse are saying a situation for me? you are only supposed to wear one pair of gloves. you don't have to cover your head, head gear, head cover, and you don't have to cover your feet. wouldn't you admit that that is insufficient? >> no. we know how ebola spreads.

it spreads by direct contact. and you know, sometimes more isn't better. you put on more layers, you put on more things, they're harder to get on. >> really? >> yes, really. >> you would go into a highly infective patient's room without covering your head and one pair of gloves and your feet exposed, you would do that? >> absolutely. more is not always better. better is better. sometimes you put on more layers, harder to put on, harder to take off, you increase your risk of exposure. that's what the science tells us. >> the doctors who treat this effectively always use the buddy system. it wasn't informed and wasn't apparently told to the doctors at the dallas hospital that the buddy system is if you're the doctor handling the patient and i'm your buddy i watch you put the stuff on, i watch1)5 you t the stuff off. why wasn't that stressed to the doctors in texas? >> the most important thing to do is to have a site manager, someone who tracks how people

put on and takequ, off their equipment -- >> why wasn't that done. >> -- in the isolation area. that is now in place. i wish it had been in place earlier. it is now in place. for any hospital in this country, ife1 they have a confirmed case of ebola, it will be in place there. >> this is all leading to the question you've been asked many times which is why shouldn't we be focusing the care of anybody in the united states that comes down with ebola in certain hospitals that are prepared to deal with it, hospitals like emory? why shouldn't they all be airlifted there, to thoseirx facilities as opposed on:ni an hoc basis for officials to figure it out on a website and site manager? care safe and effective. every hospital in this country has to be ready to diagnose ebola. >> dying, yes, that's a no-brainer. but we're talking about training. >> so what we'll do from this day forward is if there's another case, we'll send a team within hours. one of the things they will consider is should we transfer

that patient. we are on the ground to deal with the needs on the ground. our focus is protecting people. we have people at cdc who devoted their lives to that. >> i know that, i know that, an and the american people need to understand. your goal ismoto protect us. i get that. but we have to be honest about failures so far. it seems like there's a significant list so far. why wasn't this stuff done before we had rñq ebola patient come to the united states? why now are we figuring it out with a disease that has such a high mortality rate? >> we have provided extensive equipment to hospitals so they'll dying it quickly. we've surged with our response so that we track those patients. those contacts with the initial patient every day they've been tracked. none of them have fever.tthey'rs through their risk period. >> but we still have airplanes coming into the united states from liberia and people who are

being encouraged to self-report. >> ultimately, the only way -- and you may not like this -- but the only way we'll get our risk to zero here is to stop the outbreak in africa. >> we have some 3,000, 4,000 troops over there. why can't we do that and impose the travel ban. you're that convinced that charter flights cannot do the same thing that commercial airlines can do? >> above all, we don't want to make the situation worse. if it's worse and spreads more in africa, it will be more of a riske here. our only goal is protecting americans. that's our mission. we do that by protecting people here and by stopping threats abroad. >> do you still believe -- >> that protects americans. >> do you still believe, as the president said, that the chances of an ebola outbreak in the united states are extremely low? >> it's hard to stop ebola, but there's no doubt in my mind we will not have -- there's no doubt in my mind we will not in the u.s. >> we won't have a large

outbreak, but do you admit we already have an outbreak? >> we have two cases, two patients who have been diagnosed. as i said, it is not impossible that some of the other workers who were exposed, as the nurse was exposed, will develop ebola. that's why they'll all be monitored every day. what we're doing is making sure -- excuse me, let me finish now. >> we're almost out of time and i want to give you a chance to respond to o'reilly and dr. manny alvarez and others who say you need to step down. your response to those who are calling for your resignation? >> i'm focused on protecting americans 24/7. i'm focused on stopping the outbreak in africa and i'm preventing more americans from becoming exposed if patients come here. >> i appreciate your time here and all your effort. thank you for being here. brit hume is here. and dr. frieden's explanation on why the u.s. is not establishing a travel ban plus their information has been clear and correct. plus a deadly attack in saudi arabia. the targets -- americans.

in moments what we've learned about the suspect and the possible motive. then the isis terror army kills scores in and around baghdad today despite a series of american air strikes. just ahead, see why the white house response on all of this tonight is making some news. >> and we're going to continue to work closely with iraqi security forces to build up their capability so that they can do a better job on the battlefield against isil fighters. >> are we winning? ♪ in life there are things you want to touch and some you just don't. introducing the kohler touchless toilet. ♪

a travel ban from west africa until we are certain that our facilities here are up to the task and that our system has solved the flaws that you yourself admitted today exist. >> above all, do no harm. if we do things that are going to make it harder to stop the epidemic there, it's going to spread to other parts. >> how is it going to make it harder to stop it? >> because you can't get people in and out. >> well, that was the director for the centers for disease control. dr. thomas frieden. facing new calls for his resignation over how the feds have handled this ebola threat including the decision not to impose travel bans. brit hume is our senior political analyst. what did you thing? >> you asked the right questions, megyn, and dr. frieden seems like a very nice man and probably a very fine doctor struggled with the fact that some of the things he was saying to you that the

information was clear and it was correct and all that was manifestly not true based on what he himself ultimately conceded during the course of the interview. and iz explanation like previous ones that have been given for the reasons for not imposing a travel ban to keep people from infected areas out of this country for the time being i thought makes no sense. you would not have to have an actual ban on flights. you can do it through the visa system where you will not allow people with visas from those countries to come here for now. flights would come and go. it wouldn't keep anybody from going there. the explanation is weak, and it leads to the suspicion, i think, among people watching and worried about this, that we're not being told the whole truth about that. that may be on some broad basisé unfair, but i think that's what fans the flames of alarm here that they're trying so hard to avoid. >> their point is that the way to stop it from comingcsh here to eradicate it over there, and the bigger the problemé@ grows

over there, and they believe a travel ban will make it bigger, the worse off we will be here. >> well, i don't disagree with that. but what i fail to see is how the travel ban of the kindzvóy just described and others have argued for would do that. argued for would do that. i mean, we're perfectly free4b send personnel in there at government expense perhaps but on charter planes, as you pointed out, or even on commercial flights. we're not talking about banning flights into the country. we're talking about selecting out people from those countries and keeping them from getting here for now. so i just don't buy the whole explanation that you couldn't get the necessary medical personnel in and out of the country and couldn't get patients out who needed to go elsewhere for treatment. i just don't think that argument holds up at all. it raises a question there's a real reason here, we just continue know what it is. >> he came out today, they had a press conference, they talked about failures in the setup that needed to be addressed. for example, the buddy system that i talked about.

they call it like a -- what is it, somebody who sits and watches you. i can't remember the name of it. site manager, there it is. they want you to have a sitee1 manager. they admit that wasn't done in dallas, texas. so clearly the protocols they're already pushing have not been followed, and they've had consequences. so i asked him at the top of the interview, some of the information you put out there has been wrong, like we're prepared, the medical personnel knows what to do. and he didn't -- he did not cop to that. >> no, you know, it's interesting -- we live in an era in which people in government seem unwilling ever to admit that they individually made a mistake. you sometimes hear5/ the passiv voice, you know, /÷mistakes wer made with nobody associated with them. josh earnest as i suspect you'l show later on was saying today that we're winning against isis in iraq. to all other evidence to the contrary. people will not admit they were wrong. it's an epidemic.

i always thought that americans fo if somebody comes out and said, look, i made a mistake and i deeply regret it that you could move on from there. but in this case, we're not seeing that. and i suspect it's because they don't want to project the image that they're faltering agency because they fear that will spread panic. butk9 it's the reverse. >> before you go, what do you think about the calls for him to step down? >> well, that raises the question of if he stepped down, who would step up? there are senior officials in the department of health and human services who have responsibility here. the secretary has responsibility here. there is an assistant secretary who has this specific area for preparation for disease outbreaks under her bailiwick. most people don't know who she is or even the fact that she exists. she's in effect an ebola czar.

so, you know, i suspect that no matter who was doing the speaking, dr. frieden or someone else, the answers would likely be the same and we wouldn't be any more happy with that person than we are with him. >> good news tonight this nurse, her condition has been upgraded to good. >> oh good. >> so that's some progress. good to see you. there are late developments on an attack in saudi arabia that left one american dead and another injured. what we've learned about the suspect.ve learned about the and president obama today made an eye-opening admission about our fight against isis. ed henry and marc thiessen on why the white house is taking new fire. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts?

that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

developing today an investigation is under way after

a deadly attack on americans in saudi arabia. the incident involves workers for a u.s. defense contractor. and it comes as americans are on heightened alert for possible terror attacks around the globe÷ trace gallagher reports from our newsroom. >> the two americans were shot, one killed, one wounded, while they were getting a gas a half mile from where they work at the arabia. the alleged shooter7n' identif as abdulaziz al rashid was just let go. he was wounded in a shoot-out by police before being taken into custody. he's a dual saudi american< citizen. some speculating this is workplace related. but the u.s. defense contractor that employs the victims is supporting the saudi national guard and saudi arabia is taking part in the u.s.-led air strikes against isis. the saudis are also facing the same home grown terror threat as

the united states because hundreds of saudi citizens have gone to fight for the islamic state and the fear is they'll return home to carry out attacks. there is also huge anti-western sentiment in saudi arabia, and there have been many terror attacks over the years. in 2003 car bombs@ exploded in riyadh residential compound killing 36 people including 7 americans who all worked at vinnell arabia. today secretary of state john kerry was asked about the safety of other americans in saudi arabia. listen. >> i can tell you that we're in the process of evaluating our security posture. we're going to stay in very close touch with the saudi authorities and make our judgments accordingly with respect to any other personnel. >> the names of the american [unejrp+e not yet been released nor has a possible motive. megyn. >> trace, thanks. you heard brit hume a moment ago. the white house saying today that we are, quote, succeeding

in the fight against isis despite much evidence to the contrary. ed henley and marc thiessen are next on what they think is going on here. and frightening american airlines flight after the cabin starting coming apart in midair. >> we're all shouting for the flight crew, come look, the walls are caving in. you know? and they said, no, sit down, we're still climbing. no, come back and look at this now. they came back, and said, oh, my god.óvwñ my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix.

i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i talked to my doctor and i... i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it was important to me that chantix was a non-nicotine pill. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i am very proud. i love myself as a nonsmoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

from the world headquarters of fox news, it's "the kelly file" with megyn kelly. >> new and disturbing victories for the terror army known as isis tonight as the group stands on the brink of capturing a fourth iraqi military base in as many weeks.

it also today managed to kill an iraqi parliament member, a prominent police chief and scores of others in attacks in and around baghdad. all this after making it within eight miles of the baghdad airport over the weekend. an attack only turned back because we then scrambled some apache attack helicopters. yet after all of that, the white house was today insisting our current campaign is a success. >> are we o-6winning? >> well, again, we're talking about a coalition of 60 nations that are working closely with iraqi security forces. >> right. >> and working to build up syrian opposition fighters. there's no doubt that we can point to the success in the early days of this strategy. >> so we're winning? >> i mean, when you say "we" we're talking about a coalition of 60 nations. >> that's why iko said we. >> with iraq, to successfully implement. yes, we're succeeding in this effort. >> ed henry live in washington. >> megyn, the bottom line is  stands in f success sharp contrast to what even some of president obama's liberal

allies are saying tonight.?pr "washington post" columnist eugene robinson declaring that the mission against isis is failing. he goes on and charges that the president and his team are either guilty of optimism or, in his words, self-delusion because ÷ key city kobani, we saw the heaviest shelling yet. a fight against isis. u.s.-led coalition launching 21 air strikes. and they are succeeding at least in slowing isis down, but they're not stopping them. in fact, isis still on the march inside syria and gobbled up morñ territory today inside iraq. that's why when the president went behind closed doors at andrews air force base in nearby maryland, he spoke to more than 20 military chiefs from various allied nations. he said, look, there have been successes like taking back the mosul dam, but he acknowledged for the first time there have also been setbacks. >> this is going to.'] be a longterm campaign, there are not

ficks involved, we're still in the early stages. as with any military effort, there will be days of progress and there are going to be periods ofpusetback. but our coalition is united behind this longterm effort. >> reporter: that admission from the president came today as isiñ surrounded yet another key iraqi city. this time khan al baghdadi. significant because it's another one of these towns with a military base west of baghdad. it's close to that highway going right to the capital city. it suggests that the militants are edging closer to taking full control of anbar province. in fact in his own comments, the president acknowledged, in his words, he's deeply concerned about what's happening in kobani in y(oñsyria, but also what's happening in annbar province. but for now he's headed back out on the campaign trail. tonight is three weeks from the midterm election. tomorrow and thursday he's doing fund-raising in the northeast and tonight more fund-raising here in the d.c. area. megyn? >> ed henry, thank you. our next guest says the idea

that we're succeeding in iraq is part of what he calls a, quote, blizzard of lies that we've gotten recently from this administration. marc thiessen is a former presidential speech writer, "washington post" columnist and an american enterprise institute fellow. so they maintain that we are looking at success right now. >> yeah. megyn, do you remember baghdad bob, the iraqi foreign information minister who kept1b saying the saddam hussein forces were skieding. he sounded a lot like baghdad bob today. isil is 15 miles from the iraqi airport. they're advancing towards the capital. they're about to take over anbar province. and the white house spokesman is standing at the podium saying we're succeeding, we're succeeding. this is not the first time this has happened. president obama was a little more honest in his statement. this is a guy who said we have a strategy in iraq when president obama came out and said we don't have a strategy. there's this serial dishonesty.

if we were skieding, isis would be retreating, not advancing. why does the white house spokesman go out and say we're succeeding? it's not necessary. >> the presidentqsa seems to b relying on the nafact that we he this long-term strategy which is sending the syrians out of syria to go get trained in saudi arabia and then in a year they'll come back to syria and they'll be this fighting force and i don't know what's going to happen with the iraqi army, somehow they'll keep their uniforms on and not put their guns down and run. and this is what will happen in the longterm, ie, when barack obama has left office. >> the generals have set the strategy is insufficient, we need boots on the ground. and he's rejected that. in any military campaigns there will be days of setbacks and success and that's normal. but you don't go out when they almost took the baghdad airport and the next day say we're

succeeding. when people see the white house press secretary say one thing at the podium and then a split screen on television see isis advancing on the baghdad airport or blowing up kobani and taking towns, they look at that and they say, these people can't be honest about anything. >> we're being misled. and it's not the first time that we've had serious honesty questions with this white house and this president. >> no, it's not at all. just last week we found out they were lying when they said that there was no indication that anyone in the white house travel office did anything wrong in cartage cartagena. they said there's not&ñ a smidg of corruption at the irs. no one at the benghazi talking points, no one will lose their doctor or their health care plan, it goes on and on. now we're hearing;w> that we ha success in iraq when isis is advancing. >> i don't know if this is relevant any more, but once again, we talked last week on the program how 53% ofnb the american people now believe this is a failed presidency.

53% now believe it's a failed presidency. it's not over. president bush had low numbers that rebounded once he left office. but that's how many are saying that now. again, i don't know if this is relevant, but you look back, you tell me, at then-candidate obama and what he promised he was going to bring to the job and the office and how his white house would be different. here's the sample. >> the time has come for a president who will be honest about the choices and the challenges we face, who will listen to you and learn from you even when we disagree. who won't just tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. what the american people are looking for right now is straight answers to tough questions. >> i mean, are we getting that, even arguably? >> we're not even close to getting straight answers. we're getting spin and lies. a blizzard of lies from this administration. brit was on earlier and he said that americans are forgiving of

mistakes if the president owns up to them. i think that's absolutely right. what they're less forgiving of is dishonesty and serial dishonesty. approval ratings come and go, they rise and fall with what's hapu(sr'g in the world. but if the president is honest with the american people and admits when he's making mistakes and how he's changing his strategy, people will rally around him. >> it would give him more credibility, not less. >> exactly. if barack obama had come out when he announced the strategy in iraq, our strategy was mistaken, we, i, president obama underestimated the threat and we didn't take the steps necessary, now we have a new strategy and here's why it would work, people will say that's fair, let's give him a chance. but instead he says, this is a continuation of our strategy. it's succeeding, we're doing everything right. and people see something else on their screens. they think these people are not being up front with us. when you lose trust, it's very hard to get it back. >> especially on a matter of ñ where people

are worried about themselves and their families. marc, good to see you. >> thanks, megyn. >> for months the democrats have talked up their chances of beating mitch mcconnell and winning a senate seat in kentucky. tonight why they just pulled all race. and next on "the kelly file," did the nbc health correspondent put americans at risk of ebola in order to get some takeout food? >> do you think dr. snyderman was wrong for violating her quarantine? >> he's already admitted she was wrong. i know she feels it was a mistake. man: i know the name of eight princesses. i'm on expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for, because i'm raising two girls on my own. i'll worry about the economy more than a few times before they're grown. but it's for them, so i've found a way.

this morning for his reaction to his colleague's violation. watch. >> do you think dr. snyderman was wrong for violating her quarantine? >> she's already admitted she was wrong. i know she feels it was a mistake and regrettable and she's back to quarantine, which is where she should be. out of an abundance of precaution, that's the procedure that we should be following. >> yeah, with her statement, though, she kind of blamed it on the crew. she didn't take responsibility for herself. >> i think she's a part of that crew. and you know, again, i think she knows she made a mistake. >> howard kurtz is host of fox news' media buzz and he joins me now. howie, good to see you. did she take full responsibility? >> well, not exactly. journalist who did a very dumb thing. i mean, going out with somebody in a car and princeton to get food while you are potentially carrying a life-threatening virus? what, they don't have pickup and delivery in snunew jersey? >> the delivery guy can leave it

on the front steps. they don't have to have hand-to-hand contact. >> she's the chief medical editor of nbc news. she gives advice on the air. of course she had apologized after having announced to world that she was going into voluntary confinement and then breaking it. my problem with the apology -- not to pile on here -- she never actually used the word "i." it says members of our group violated the guidelines. that's what brian williams read on the air. they gave her a pass because dr. nancy, you are the one that broke the confinement and underscore potentially put people at risk. >> this is how nbc described it on their this is how they broke the news. look at their headline.
