controversial new ad. the investigation into bowe bergdahl is complete. so why won't the white house release the results? the sergeant's former platoon mate is back to respond to this growing cover-up. all of that plus your pets andpkay ebola. it's tonight's question of the day. hannity starts right now. >> welcome to "hannity." the dallas nurse infected with ebola in america has been identified as 26-year-old nina pham. the young nurse has been in isolation at the dallas hospital since friday. on sunday, dr. kent brantly, an ebola survivor who contracted the disease while working in liberia this summer donated his blood to nina. my next guest,"eallas county with her family. while nina's parents are concerned, they do recognize this risk as part of her calling. clay jenkins joins me with more.
7:02 pm
sir, welcome to the program. i mean this -- it's so sad. she puts her life on the line for somebody. i know that might be part of her w says., as her family she's 26 years old. how's she doing? >> she's doing well. she sent out a little note today to let the people know that she's doing well, and she's got a strong family and she is a true hero. she's -- she is dealing with this with grace and dignity, and she's a hero. and i know the whole nation is praying for her. >> what about the proclamation this weekend that she might have breached protocol in some way. that was taken back a little bit. do you know the answer to that? do you believe that happened? >> well, i think the term "breach" in that situation is a term of art in public health. i don't think her family who are involved in public health took it as a pointing the finger at nina. there was a breach or a rm.mist
7:03 pm
or whatever you want to call it somewhere and, regardless of whether that was through protocol or procedure, that's not nina's fault. that falls on the hospital and the people up the chain fromm/o nina. nina was doing her job, and she was providing care to eric duncan and is a4# hero in this >> i agree with that assessment a thousand percent. and she's in our thoughts and prayers. there was one report that came f2qñ that thomas duncan had explosive diarrhea. so there were a lot of bodily fluids in and around the area where he was being taken care of. some 70 people i think had contact with him in the hospital. is that true? >> the number is roughly that number. >> yeah. now, the world health organization, how aware is her family, as you have spoken with them, that the world health organization is saying that maybe 10,000 new cases of ebola every week for the next two months and they raise the death
7:04 pm
rate from 50% of the cases now to 70% of the cases. is the family aware of these new numbers that they're putting out? >> well, i'll see her family in less than an hour and i'll talk to her mother and father and sisters about that. their focus and my focus is on nina and this outbreak and what's important to nina at this point is important to dallas county and to the city of dallas. and one of those things is bentley, the dog. there are a host of other things. we want to take care of all those things for nina so nina and her family can focus on nin getting well. >> as it should be. this was the front cover of the "new york post" today. a picture of nina and her dog. there was a nurse in spain that contracted the disease and in that case they euthanized the dog. we'll debate that later in the program tonight. so the dog will be quarantined and the dog will be checked
7:05 pm
before anything like that is considered, is that right? >> that's right. we've tried to re-create the home of where the dog was and give the dog some room to roam, the food that the dog's used to some toys and provide just some compassion. the dog is in pretty good spirits. separation anxiety from its owner, but beyond that in good spirits. >> no indication ofl 4erñ dog's doing fine health wi. >> good. we appreciate you being with us, judge. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> and amid the horrifying numbers released, as i just mentioned from the world health organization, there are growing calls right here in the u.s. for travel bans for those that are infected and from infected countries. now fox news contributor charles krauthammer had very strong words about this issue last night on special report. let's take a look. >> we'll have to have a travel ban. if this patient who arrived off liberia or off the west coast is
7:06 pm
indeed ebola or if and when the next patient happens, there is no reason why we should still be flying air france, british air have canceled. the reason that it will stop aid going into west africa, that's nonsense. >> dr. krauthammer is not alone, according to a brand new poll, 67%, more than two-thirds of americans support restricting entry into the u.s. for peopleñ coming from those affected countries and a whopping 91% of americans support stricter screen of passengers that are entering the country. joining me with reaction are infectious disease forecaster dr. james wilson, peter johnson jr. and ebola virologist dr. david saunders is with us. doctor, let me start with you, because you're here with us. you've been studying this virsous since 2003? >> that's right. >> very impressive. you work at purdue. >> that's correct. >> you have said and a lot of people were takenok back by you comments and it made a lot of press that while the virus thus
7:07 pm
far has been shown to be transferred via bodily fluids, you're arguing that this virus in fact could very well become airborne. why do you say that? >> that's correct. we actually have the data that shows that ebola enters the lung tissue from the airway side. this was done with human lung tissue and it enters by the same side of the cell as influenza ñ it has that inherent capacity. >> we were first told the only way somebody could get this was through direct contact with bodily fluids. they were tryingfn! to reassure people who were on the plane with thomas duncan. then they backtracked and they said three feet. now you're telling us they may be wrong an all accounts? >> i don't have any direct evidence that that is what is occurring now. i mean, that's an important message. we don't know that. we do know, we do know that it
7:08 pm
can happen in terms of the biology. that's important. and it could become -- you know, through mutations, there's a possibility for it to change in such a way that that occurs more readily. >> dr. wilson, let me turn to you, if i may. what are your thoughts on that? there was a "pittsburgh tribune review" article that says airborne transmission has not beenv+úñü9ñ if it's not been studied why would the government give us bg reassurances that they couldn't possibly know? >> i would counteract that by saying it is being studied right no/iìáhp &hc% we're at day 19. none of the additional contacts on the contact list have become symptomatic. we have two more days to go before we hit the 21-day period. i think the evidence speaks for itself. as someone who has been on the ground in environments where we studied ebola in the late 1990s on the border with liberia, i can tell you that there is the aspect of fear, there's always the aspect of probabilities and
7:09 pm
worrying about, you know, sort of the end point game scenario of an aerosolized or airborne ebola, but the reality is that the data doesn't support that. i think moving beyond the lab, moving beyond an academic study and looking at the epidemiological data -- >> let me go back to dr. david saunders. talking about aerosolized, is it possible at different stages after somebody contracts the disease, that it could be aerosolized within their lungs and at that point it becomes aã greater danger? in other words, maybe it wasn't as great a danger when thomas duncan was on the plane but if he was on the plane a week later it could have been a greater danger. is that possible? >> all these things are possible. i do want to concur that we57r don't have any evidence that that's what actually happening right now. my point is that it can happen. when people say there's no chance for airborne ebola, that's simply not true.
7:10 pm
they haven't reviewed the scientific literature on the issue. i agree we don't have evided& for it happening now. we do have some evidence that it occurred with a very closely related virus called ebola resting. >> more from a legal point of view, with these facts in mind, what the w.h.o. is saying, 10,000 new cases every week for the next two months and the death rate increased to 70% that those that contract the disease. bloomberg news today had an article that said 150 potential ebola carriers, those people coming from at-risk nations are coming into america each and every day. >> it will increase over time. the more the disease increases in west africa. the prediction is 1.4 million cases by january. and if you hold the 70% death rate to be true, we're talking about 980,000 people succumbing to ebola. you're doing something with a lot of other people are not doing on other networks. you're putting science over the
7:11 pm
politics. so it's important to hear from understand what the risks are. white house to listen to men and women like the people you have on your show here tonight. >> what about legally, quarantine, travel ban and obviously shore up borders? >> the federal government has the capacity for quarantine, social distancing, all these things. as time goes on and if it gets to be a greater crisis, we're going to see those things and we'll have questions at that point about how our civil a result of it. >> it could be a big legal issue. >> it could be a big legal issue. on the travel ban, there's science on both sides. there's modeling on both sides as to whether it works or doesn't. but we need to look and the president needs to step up because in the end it's got to be his decision. we're talking about millions of lives around the world. >> dr.l
7:12 pm
let me ask you a question. the cdc website had an article that i found, two articles, that ebola can live in semen for days. that's an issue that needs to be discussed. and that animals can be carriers of ebola. how big a threat does that become, especially if we're talking about this nurse that has her dog and possibly potentially havinglg to ueutha these animals? >> obviously our prayers are with the pham family. nina is a real heropi for what she's done and our thoughts are with her. the issue of canines potentially being exposed to ebola is actually a bigger concern in west africa where we do have reports of canines feeding on corpses there and running through the villages unchecked. that has been raised as a concern. i will say that that's a far minor concern than what we're seeing as the bulk of the problem and that is unrestrained, uncontained human to human transmission.
7:13 pm
that's the real key issue is getting control of the human-based transmission. >> doctor? >> so that is where we are seeing most of the transmission. we do have to remember that the origin of this virus is in most likely a fruit bat. and so if you have infected animals, they are potential sources of infection for humans as well. >> the government needs to do a better job. why are they spraying stuff down outside the home of this poor nurse? explain why that goes on. and if in fact there was some breach of so-called protocol or procedure or something happened. say specifically what happened without blaming her and using -- >> and the hospital. >> and use it as a teaching moment to health care workers across the country. >> i thought they rushed in. unless there was something they haven't told us, why presume a breach. creates the element of crisis and something is being held back. and that's what's wrong. >> thank you all for being here.
7:14 pm
coming up ajej%rqpáed hannity debate about what should happen to the dallas nurse's dog if in fact it becomes infected with ebola. but first tonight -- >> first ran for senate in 1996 promising to be a champion for the black community. 18&o# years later little has changed. >> the man behind that blistering ad targeting left wing senator mary landrieu. he'll join us next. plus the army's investigation surrounding bowe bergdahl's capture is now complete, but the findings are not being released yet. and speculation is running rampant as to why. could it be because the white house doesn't want egg on its face right before you head to the polls in 21 days, three weeks from today? his former platoon leaders here to respond.
7:15 pm
when diet and exercise aren't enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. yeah! crestor is not for people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of serious side effects. are you down with crestor? ask your doctor about crestor.

7:17 pm
welcome back to "hannity." a striking new ad released by the free at last pac featuring my next guest. he says democratic louisiana senator mary landrieu and her/w policies is are actually hindering black constituents in the state of louisiana. watch this. >> mary landrieu first ran for senate in 1996 promising to be a champion for the black community. 18 years],itçlater, little has changed. while you scrounge together food stamps to buy kool-aid, she sips champagne at cocktail parties. while you dig through the couch looking for gas money, she flies around in privat8iñ jets fundin by taxpayer dollars. mary hasn't helped us at all. so on november 4th, let's send her back home to her father's house jxé to her mansion in
7:18 pm
washington, d.c., or to wherever the heck she lives because one thing is for sure, she does not live#alx here. >> the video is hoping to trigger a national debate over which party's policies are actually helping minorities in america. here to talk about that and more is the man you just saw in that ad, republican louisiana state senator elbert gilroy and stacy dash. good to see you all. senator, you know you do an ad like that you're coming under fire. somehow the democratic party has a monopoly of compassion and support for minority communities? why do people have that perception? >> i think it has to do with history. but we are certainly going to try to change that. we're working very hard to tell the truth about that. that piece you just played does tell the exact truth and shows the truth. the businesses that are shuttered, the buildings that
7:19 pm
are abandoned, the men and women out of work, bullets flying and mothers crying at funerals in the inner city. we have to -- those poll sis ha -- policies have not worked for us. >> before i bring in deroy and stacy, the percentage of the time that mary landrieu votes with obama. in the year 2013, an astounding 97% in 201290%. in the senate race she's losing margin. there's the latest rnc ad that goes after mary landrieu and her support of obama and obama care. >> since 2009 mary landrieu has voted 95% with president obama. >> a loyal democrat to her president and to his agenda. >> with the help of mary landrieu, we're going to get health care done this year. >> while those individuals who like the coverage they already
7:20 pm
had will be able to keep their current plan. this is a very accurate description of this bill. >> fact, mary landrieu cast the deciding vote for obama care. >> of course, as a supporter of his and as a democrat, i'm very happy to see the president defend what i think is really an extraordinary record.m1á i may lose my seat over it, but i'm prepared to do it. >> facts, in louisiana there were 62,000jo, canceled plans a premiums will increase by as much as 19%. >> basically you said what the president said. any regrets? >> no, wolf, whatsoever. if i had to vote for the bill again, i would vote for it tomorrow. i'm standing on this election as a supporter of the affordable care act. uñit, they don't like can unelect us. believe me, they'll have a great chance because i'm uplgt for re-election right now. >> hasv voting for obama 90% of the time and obama care, has that helped the minority
7:21 pm
community in louisiana? >> no, not at all. >> &éwhy? >> because it still keeps them stuck. they're getting money for free. they feel :aoworthless. they're uneducated. as long as you're that way they can keep you under their control. >> meaning the democratic party. they create dependency. >> yeah, they have a plantation mentality. as long as they give you this much money, you'll stay right there. you don't need to know too much because if you do, you'll start thinking for yourself. >> i think state senator guillory has done a service by asking in return what do you get, 18 years of poverty under mary landrieu in louisiana. and nationwide, what has obama done? you areb]hs÷ seeing the black f under poverty go from 25.8 to 27.2. home ownership down. number of black people on food stamps 7.3qáájjz to 10.9 million. there's this tremendous loyalty
7:22 pm
for the democrats. and what have they done for us lately? >> why did you switch to be from a democrat to a republican, senator? >> values. the values of the democratic party just moved too far to the left for me, for the comfort of me, my parents, my community and my heart. >> stacey, you came under such fire in the 2012 election because you tweeted out in favor of mitt romney. deroy races infuriates me as a conservative because i believe conservative principles and solutions would help all americans. >> i agree. >> are republicans representing the more conservative wing or messaging? >> yes. >> i agree with you. >> they're doing a poor job. i don't know if it's fear of failure or fear of the repercussions. >> look what bobby jindal has don in louisiana. >> yeah. >> one thing we have is this
7:23 pm
tremendous use of charter schools in new orleans. >> the democrats tried to shut that down. >> exactly. but rather than going on and saying the black kids are learn in louisiana, they're trying to shut it down and end the progress that black kids are seeing in new orleans. >> same thing in new york. >> bobby has done a great job in job creation. moving louisiana from 42nd in the nation to number 8 in the nation. >> wow, that's great. the big problem is that members of the minority community aren't prepared. >> guys, good toglñ see you. welcome back from california. you're back from the liberal state. liberals want you to believe coo blame for ebola in america? coming up next, i kid you za8$ñ we've got the ad to prove it. we'll set the record straight. then the army says that politics has nothing to do with it. i'm not sold. why the results of the

♪ welcome back to "hannity." major speculation is brewing regarding the u.s. army's investigation into sergeant bowe bergdahl's disappearance from his base in afghanistan in 2009. his desertion led him to be held by the taliban for five years and eventually resulted in one of the most controversial prison swaps in history in which the obamae-y administration set fi gitmo detainees free. the army has yet to release those findings, raising very serious questions about what important information may in fact be concealed from you, the american people ande.c why. could this have anything to do ""át upcoming elections. here to respond exclusively is bergdahl's platoon leader and also joining us the colonel ralph peters. good to see you both. sergeant, welcome back. why -- you know why he left.
