married an ethiopian in 1997, this candidate has come up with something else. on an up note, mornings are better with friends. >> hi everybody. welcome to studio e here in the midtown manhattan area. as you can see, from the -- right now you're on the six. you're in for elisabeth today. in case you were wondering where elisabeth is this week, she had surgery yesterday and she's going to be out for a couple of weeks but she's doing just find. she's on the mend. >> as you know, she is strong, she is tough and a better athlete than me. we heard from her last night and she said she is feeling good. until then we'll work with wonderful people like

kimberly. >> i'm looking forward to see if i'm up to the task. >> we start with a fox news alert. overnight a second health care worker in texas has tested positive for ebola. this as the c.d.c. director now says he regrets the response they gave to the deadly virus. we're live in dallas with the breaking details. >> reporter: good morning, guys. this really illustrate the point that was being made by the nurses union yesterday saying that health care workers all over the country felt hike they did not have the proper training and the proper equipment to deal with patients who have such a serious virus like ebola and then this morning it is driven right home with the latest information coming down that a second worker here at texas health presbyterians hospital in dallas has tested positive. state health officials say this employee came down with a fever yesterday and then immediately was isolated at the hospital.

the preliminary test results are in from the state laboratory positive for ebola. the c.d.c. will officially confirm it in a second test today. it's not clear wh this -- whether this is another nurse, whether this is a respiratory therapist. all we got is this is an employee. the c.d.c. identified 76 people here at texas health who had some form of contact with thomas duncan while he was an in patient here before he died last week. no doubt this latest development has to be sending shock waves through top u.s. health officials who spent much of yesterday addressing mistakes made in dallas and how they plan to fix them moving forward. >> i've been hearing loud and clear from health care workers from around the country that they're worried, that they don't feel prepared to take care of a patient with ebola. >> that's why they claim changes are being made. one of the biggest things that will be implemented, a

special c.d.c. ebola response team with experts in this field, experts on the virus will deploy now to hospitals where cases pop up to train staff properly. meantime, 26-year-old nina pham was the first nurse to contract the potentially deadly virus. she is said to be in good condition right now being treated at the very same hospital where she works. we obviously expect to learn a whole lot more about this newest case as the day progresses. >> that happening overnight, yesterday. the nurses and the nurses union sent out a letter that says when mr. duncan came in a the emergency room, we did this all wrong. he apparently languished in the e.r. for hours next to other people. they had flimsy equipment. and then the nurses who were taking care of him went and took care of other people potentially exposing them as well. when they took his blood, they sent it through the

tube system. they didn't package it specially. potentially contaminated the entire system. >> unbelievable. when you heard 170 people are being looked at, up to 124 being observed, we fear we are going to be coming in day after day after day and hearing stories like this, that somebody else tested positive for ebola. but yesterday thomas frieden came out and essentially said in his own special way, i wish we reacted differently and i wish -- we're now going to have what seems to be a quick reaction team so whef someone tests positive we're going to send them in to have certain protocols. the nurses were upset about what's going on and this is a lot of confusion across the country. >> he's vowing he can handle this. he's saying he's up to the task and we can control this outbreak of ebola, shut it down here in the u.s. and but most especially we have to focus overseas, the pinpoint where this is happening, the vicious outbreak to make sure this doesn't get

here. but people are worried. look at the mess-up here. he's admitting they made mistakes. on the heels of that confident statement he made, we have another case. >> this are people calling for him to dpet -- get fired and megyn kelly asked him about that last night on this here channel. >> 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 are prepared if ebola reaches our shores. >> this is deeply troubling. 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. we know how ebola spreads. we know how to stop it from spreading. but clearly what happened at the hospital shouldn't have happened. >> no kidding. that's the understatement. if you're just waking up, a second health care worker down in dallas has ebola. >> that was a pretty

effective interview yesterday. he tends to go into his normal mantra statements, we're taking every precaution when clearly he even admitted he wasn't taking every precaution. if he wants to hold on to his job, maybe this' got to be somebody above him telling him what to do and making sure all elements and all apparatus are working from the same hymn book. >> that would probably be the president, wouldn't it? >> he's ultimately in charge. even bill o'reilly calling for him to step down calling him the chief of propaganda, he's not being honest with people. >> seven minutes after the hour. another developing medical crisis, the mysterious respiratory crisis hospitalizing thousands of kids in the u.s. being eyed in the death of a third young person. anna kooiman joins us live with more on this. >> good morning. parents on edge this morning at an elementary school in peoria, arizona,

after a boy in the first grade died battling a serious respiratory virus. some fear it may be the enterovirus but health officials have yet to confirm this. >> i am very concerned like i guess any parent would be. you know, at first it was something you just wrote off, you know, kids get sick. it stepped up another level when i came home and i found out unfortunately that someone lost their child today. that got me just on the enl of panic. >> this news comes as doctors warn we will soon see an extreme spike in cases. instead of national case counts growing by 30 a day, they're expected to jump to 90 or more. the reason? health officials had been using a brand-new tests that speeds diagnosing the enterovirus in children. they'll be able to process four or five times more specimens a day and get results quicker. the virus which leaves children struggling to breathe has also been

linked to paralysis. the c.d.c. is investigating the cause of the symptoms. so far the virus has chaimed the lives of a -- claimed the lives of a 21-month-old girl from michigan and a 4-year-old boy from new jersey. >> it is far more prevalent than ebola right here at home. >> and it is the cold and flu season on top of that. yesterday new charges were filed against ahmed abu khattalah, described as one of the master minds behind the benghazi attack. 18 counts, he does face the death penalty. what's curious about what we learned in the indictment yesterday -- and you're a lawyer, you can explain it for us -- it talks about how in addition to killing people, apparently he masterminded the pillage of, and the plunder of the buildings of documents, maps and

computers, secret stuff. >> confidential information, privileged information. keep in mind this is a man openly notorious, running around having a frat day outside, one who was one of the director ringleaders of al sharia, a shoot-off of al qaeda. he was able to spread jihad. now we see look he was actually involved and this was a planned terrorist attack. not a spontaneous outburst of some kind of video. >> as fox has been saying for over a year, that consolate was full of c.i.a. information and it was stolen, now in enemy hands as well as a lot of weapons. and that's why it was targeted and that's why it's in operation. what does bother me is they conclude in this indictment is this guy was the muscle, not the mastermind. he wasn't alone. i've seen the video.

the fact that this guy is in new york city doesn't mean the investigation should be over. >> the indictment talks about how after the first wave that killed ambassador stevens, he went to another place, got a bunch of guys -- >> why weren't they able to get more information out of him regarding his affiliates and people he was working so closely with on this. >> have you he have toss it had to heather childers? >> here are your headlines, heather. >> we have other headlines. this bombshell, another one, a new discovery by "the new york times," weapons of mass destruction were found in iraq but it was kept secret. the times reporting between 2004 and 2011 american troops found 5,000 chemical warheads and on several occasions they even injured u.s. sources. the pentagon hiding the information from the public and even keeping congress in the dark. one soldier saying that he found 2,400 nerve gas rockets but he was ordered to say that he found quote

saying if she were confident in her acting she wouldn't try to be martha stewart. ouch. those are a look at your headlines. >> never seen such anger. it is incredible. >> like they're throwing pies at each other. >> coming up straight ahead, just hours after the c.d.c. says it knows how to prevent ebola from spreading, another medical worker has tested positive for ebola. that's another one. could the virus go airborne? our next guest says yes, airborne is possible. >> pastors being forced to turn over their sermons to the government and if they refuse it's a crime. how is that legal? i pray it's not. ♪ ♪ when laquinta.com sends him a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves.

than we do especially this on the heels of the university making that announcement that in fact this is a second health care worker that has tested positive for ebola. i think on the minds of americans is how easy, easily is this transmitted? can it in fact be airborne as well? >> it's a great question. at this time we have no evidence for airborne transmission. it seems to be transmitted solely by bodily fluids. but the question has arisen, there was an article in "the new york times" questioning whether it can go airborne. there was a lot of reaction saying no it's not possible, it can't get into the lungs. well, it turns out that our own research that we publish with our collaborators demonstrate that ebola has the inherent capacity to enter lung tissue, human lung touche from the airway side just -- human lung tissue from the airway side.

it cannot be ruled out it does not have the compass if i to go in. >> at this point this is no suggestion it has mutated to the point that has happened, but it could in the future? >> that is correct. >> essentially are you saying we could cap ebola the -- catch ebola the same way you catch the flew -- flu, that if you breathe it, you've got it? >> that is a possibility. i try to be very careful here. i can't put a number on how possible that is. but the most important message is the longer the epidemic dps on, the more cases we have, the more likely it comes. it is a nonzero probability. but i can't tell you what that probability is. if you have a million cases rather than ten thousand cases that increases the chance about a hundred fold. >> every time it mute --

mutates, we can't predict how many times it mutates and manifests in a way so that in fact it could become airborne? >> that is correct. >> you know about this because you've been studying ebola since 2003? >> we published that paper in 2003. we studied it before 9/11. we had a hypothesis about how it evolved. >> once again, right now it cannot be transferred airborne but in the future you just don't know. >> that's right. >> thank you for being with us to shed some light on it. >> thank you very much. >> 20 minutes after the top of the hour. in the fight against isis, there is a question we're wondering but the administration's answer is -- >> are we winning? >> yes, we are succeeding in this effort.

dproan -- grown significantly because of the the beheadings and the amount of land mass. you've got a terrorist organization the wealthiest we've seen in history and taking over land mass. >> pretty good for a j.v. team. they have 16 separate commands and they are able to conduct multiple operations. >> unlike a traditional terrorist organization, al qaeda in iraq which was their previous incarnation, what isis has done is set up a command and control. they are a military force. when you look at the isis soldiers they are fighting in the open, not hiding in caves. they're using american military weaponry to do this. they've set up a command and control structure. the leader used to be al baghdadi. he's the leader, the commander in chief but they have a complete military setup operating pretty much

at will unfortunately even with the airstrikes in the region. >> you say they are a participatory of hamas, a sunni ex -- they are a brother of hamas. >> and they are operating here in the military context. when you look at their name changes, they were originally isis, then they became isil. and the president keeps using the phrase isil. levant includes israel. you're talking about 70,000 commandable troops that can engage in what is basically warfare. >> they are made up of saddam's officers. you say the beheadings brings people in? >> we look at it in the west and say these beheadings are repulsive.

how can human beings do this? they're using it as a recruiting tool and unfortunately successfully. that includes americans that have joined them. >> they have baited america into a fight this president clearly didn't want. why does it work to their advantage to get us involved? >> because we have a reluctant commander in chief. we have a president whose initial statement is here's what we're not going to do. why do you broadcast to your enemy what fight you're not going to engage in? i think when you look at that and you've got this reluctant commander in chief, in the middle east they understand force and strength -- the british prime minister in the 50's and 60's says you've got force. you can't negotiate with isis. you've got to crisis. it was a huge tactical mistake by this administration. >> if you want to know what this group is, it is in this book, the rise of isis we cannot ignore. jay, thanks for your

we're talking about a fellow named carlos kerdayo, an upand coming cuban america. he is locked in battle against the democrat joe garcia 46-42. who do you give the edge to now? >> if i had to make a choice i would say the incumbent would probably win this race. however, i would not count the republican out. this race is very interesting because the democratic incumbent in this seat won last time partially because his opponent was charged with 52 counts of corruption several months before election day, which contributed heavily to his win last election cycle. so the republican could still pull it out in this race this time. >> let's go to the tenth district of illinois. this is a rematch. these guys have run against each other before. brad snider is the democrat. he's got 46%. robert dole is the republican at 44%.

this would be embarrassing for the white house if the republican wins because it is right in the background area to the backyard to barack obama. >> that's why this white house is sending joe biden down to campaign for him, which is sort of unprecedented for a house race, for the vice president to go campaign for a house candidate. that just tells you how much the white house does not want to lose this race, which as you mentioned is interesting because the incumbent is running against the man who used to hold the seat. this is really personal to all the parties involved in this and both parties want it pretty badly. >> let's see, everybody is talking about what's going on with the senate but in the house if the republicans pick up 11 that would be historic. francesca chambers with the daily mail, thanks for joining us this morning on "fox & friends." it is 12 minutes before the

before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz.

for ebola, this as the c.d.c. director now says he regrets the response given to the deadly virus. we're live in dallas outside the hospital. >> reporter:, let's walk you through all of this because this is awfully interesting. when thomas duncan tested positive for ebola here in texas at the end of september, c.d.c. officials came right out and they said it was isolated and that it was contained and this was really no fear of it spreading. things changed when we got news of nina pham, the nurse here at texas presbyterian hospital who got infected with ebola while treating thomas duncan. then the c.d.c. statements changed. they started warning of the potential for more cases, a pretty different story from what they originally said. now here we have it, a second case. everyone's would have the fear right here at the -- everyone's worst fear at the same hospital.

another employee came down with a fever yesterday and was immediately isolated. that is all we know. they will have to begin work on tracking down people that that staff member had contact with. it will be interesting to see how the c.d.c. addresses this new case today. but because of the criticism it received and to prevent even further spread, they're implementing new protocols that they talked a lot about yesterday like the deployment of this special team of experts to properly train hospital staff dealing with ebola patients. listen. >> i wish we had put a team like this on the ground the day the first patient was diagnosed. that might have prevented this infection. but we will do that from today onward with any case anywhere in the u.s. >> but there are frankly an awful lot of health care workers not just here in dallas, not just in texas but around the entire country who say this is a little too little too late

because they believe that they are not equipped to properly deal with handling a virus like ebola. >> casey, you're right because the nurses union sent out something yesterday that talked about how when thomas duncan came in, they didn't know what to do. this was a nursing supervisor on duty who said we've got to get this man in isolation and according to the statement the nurses union put out the hospital said we don't need to do that. they were given gloves with no wrist tapes, flimsy gowns and no surgical booties and continued to work with other patients. >> you talked about the blood earlier. unbelievable. now they know more but you have two other people infected. >> of course with thomas duncan they sent him home the first time even though he had a fever and was vomiting. they said you have a 103 fever and you're from

liberia but we don't suspect anything. meanwhile the c.d.c. watching. we heard yesterday 70 people, now up to 125 people chug the -- people including the 76 we brought up. we'll see who had exposure to any of the two. all we know about the other person, don't know male, don't know female. just know they worked at the hospital. we didn't know anything about the 26-year-old nurse until we later found out it was her -- >> now her dog has been quarantined as well. >> this is an update on bentley the dog. bentley is being taken care of by texas a & m. interestingly enough there is a dallas police officer assigned to guard the dog wearing full protective gear 24 hours a day. >> did you ever think we'd be at this point? unbelievable. >> there is a dog too in spain. let's talk about thomas frieden. he went on with megyn kelly hast -- last night to defend himself about his actions and admitted prior

to that in a press conference that he should have put together a quick reaction team so whenever a case sprouted up he would be able to get in there with people who are trained and ready to go. >> with the c.d.c., its heart is in the right place but its information misplaced and wrong. >> let me correct you on that. our information is clear and correct, but we look at what happens and we adjust as we need to. we know how ebola spreads. we know how to stop it. >> in the past they have said trust us, trust us. now yesterday he admitted okay, we blew it. we should have sent a team down not just to figure out who has been exposed but also to show the hospital employees what to do. now he's saying we can handle it. >> are we prepared? >> not yet. >> kimberly and i were talking earlier to dr. sanders from purdue who said there is a possibility that this -- >> it could go airborne

like influenza. at least he's being honest in telling us because this is a virus that mutates. every time it changes it replicates itself one or two times. that is how it could be possible in the future. dr. sanders. >> ebola has the inherent capacity to enter human lung tissue from the airway side just as influenza does. it cannot be ruled out. i can't put a number on how possible that is but the most important message is the longer the epidemic goes on, the more cases we have, the more likely it comes. >> the thing is we have to find out, if they don't know already, the c.d.c. has to find out how the 26-year-old nurse got it, how this person got it. we just assume she breached protocol. >> that was the initial statement. >> we don't know. >> remember thomas duncan lived in a neighborhood in dallas and he just went to that hospital because it was nearby. they were not a hospital that was equipped.

we heard yesterday there are three or four in the united states. this wasn't one of it but they had to make do. in the meantime on the cover of the new york post today this could be the number-one halloween costume. for $80 you can look like you're an ebola worker. trick or treat. >> i don't think we're ready for that. it is too soon. heather childers this is the perfect time to toss to you. >> i wonder why the health care providers were not part of the original 48 who were monitored following duncan's -- >> they thought they were protected because they had some gear on. >> but they were wrong. >> probably. >> we have other headlines to talk about. this is a big one. a bombshell new discovery by "the new york times." weapons of mass destruction were found in iraq but it was kept secret. the times reporting between 2004 and 2011 american troops found 5,000 chemical warheads on several occasions that even injured

u.s. forces. the pentagon hiding that information from the public and even keeping congress in the dark. one soldier saying that he found 2,400 nerve gas rockets but was ordered to say that he found instead, quote, nothing of significance. pentagon spokesman rear admiral john kirby dechiend to comment. mixed messages from the white house on the success of airstrikes against isis. president obama admitting this will be setbacks in the fight but according to the white house press secretary josh earnest, we're winning. >> there is no doubt that we can disappoint to the success -- that we can point to the success in the early days of this strategy. we're talking about a coalition of 50 nations working closely with iraq to successfully implement and we are succeeding in this effort. >> but overnight isis gaining new ground in iraq surrounding a key military base west of baghdad and edging closer to total control of the strategically important an

book "kidnapped by the taliban," dr. dennis joseph joins us now. thank you so much for being here with us to share this incredible story. you can imagine that so many americans listening thinking about the fate of the hostages that still remain, the american veteran up next, threatening to behead him. you were held by the taliban and you make some striking comparisons between the taliban and isis. >> thank you for having me, kimberly. it's great to be here. my situation with taliban, it was certainly an unexpected situation in spite of having some security protocol that we follow. that day turned out to be very different than we all expected. my four days with -- it's very easy to understand the ideology behind all these groups. anyone that kind of stands in the way of their ideology is put

away with and that's probably the only comparison i can make with isis and also seems like isis is much more extreme in many ways than taliban has been or at least what we've heard about the taliban. in my few days, i got to unfortunately understand a bit more of the intri chassis of the networks, from a very small community level all the way to a regional and then to a national level going back to the headquarters in pakistan. >> what's going through your head when you're held captive like that, and especially when you see the comparison of beheadings and isis. those four days, were you thinking you were going to get out alive? >> not so much. when you're in a situation like that, you're very hopeless, especially for your life. we had one of our ten captors actually carried a knife always with him and his nickname was the butcher. so that's all he did in situations like this.

so it's very much a hopeless situation. but you're in the midst of it, hoping against hope that you will somehow make it out alive. that's what happened in my situation. >> interesting, one of the people that was holding you captive was a 19-year-old boy. you had the ability to talk to him and have a conversation going about how he got involved. what did he tell you? >> yeah. the 19-year-old was very different from just about all the rest of them. he asked me a lot of questions about my life, you know, my upbringing, about my parents, why do i do the type of work i do. in doing so, he was sort of comparing his life to mine. even without me having to say that to him, he was saying, well, you do what you do because your parents taught you differently. i do what i do because this is all i've seen my father do. >> so learned from his father, from the father to the son, he knew this terrorist trade and that's what he was engaged in, even though he didn't seem to be

fully whole hearted in it. >> right. i was very surprised by that. like all of us, we tend to think of isis or taliban or any of these insurgents, well, that's all they think about. this element of hope that he brought out was very shocking to me. i was thinking all these guy, all they want to do is kill people and have their way. but he was saying, can you take me to the states? and if you do, what would i do? can i start my life over again? those are the type of questions he was asking me. >> let's talk about your journey back to the states because you were rescued by an elite force, navy seal team six came to your aid. tell us about that. >> yeah. that happened on the very early mornings of the fifth day and i have no words to describe it other than incredible. the entire situation from my vantage point ohm -- only took

about two minutes and it was all over. one of the seals actually laid on top of me and all i heard was gun shots going around me. i was taken out of the room. >> how incredible. laid his body down to cover yours and protect you when the gun fire was going. unbelievable. you've got a great book "kidnapped by the taliban." thank you for your humanitarian work and courage and sharing your story with the country. >> thank you. >> pleasure to have you. does your spouse always want to vacation with their side of the family? is that normal or is it nuts? dr. keith ablow is up next. he's going to tell us

close eye on 125 people, 11 of them have definitely been exposed to the virus. casey stegall live in dallas with the breaking details as we wait for the press conference. >> good morning to you. >> casey, can i hold up that report for one second? let's go to the press conference right now. >> i'm sorry. i said lightening the fan, this is a heroic person, a person who dedicated her life and is dedicating her life to helping others and is a servant leader. this is a person with their life before them and a person who is dealing with this diagnosis with the grit and grace and determination that nina has dealt with the diagnosis. like nina, the protocol to find the virus worked well within 90

minutes of taking her temperature, she was in isolation in the hospital and we hope that and pray that like nina, she will get on a good track. as you know, nina has moved from stable to good and the doctor may have some information on her health when he speaks this morning. so the fight against ebola in dallas is aç two-front fight n. we have 48 disease contacts that we focused on in the community that were contacts with eric duncan. the good news about those 48 people is they are asymptomatic and we are at the tail end of marathon toring period. sunday will mark the end and the chance of those people becoming

symptomatic at this point or getting the ebola virus is extremely remote. however, at the hospital we have a situation involving 77 people, two of which have tested positive for ebola. we are preparing contingencies for more and that is a very real possibility. you can imagine the anxiety of the families of these 77 people. you can imagine the gut shot that this is to the family that is presbyterian hospital that has done a great job of taking care of this community for many, many years. i hope this community will rally around the human beings that are

suffering and worrying now even as they go about their calling of serving others. with me today is dr. varga, executive vice president of texas health presbyterian, who will speak next. mayor mike rawlings will speak after dr. varga and we will take limited questions. we are giving you limited information that we have at present. we are continuing to give information and will be updating you throughout the day in a variety of ways. we have some very important work that i need to get to quick -- the mayor and i need to get to at the conclusion of this. so dr. varga? >> excuse me, thank you. good morning, my name is dr. daniel varga, chief clinical

officer for texas health. i want to thank state health officials, cdc and dallas county health department for their continued partnership as we manage this unprecedented crisis. as said, this morning's development, while concerning is continued evidence our monitoring program is working. currently as judge jenkins says, we continue to monitor 75 health care workers in conjunction with the state. while it i cannot discuss patient specifics, i can tell you the patient was involved in the care of mr. duncan, the original patient whose passing we still mourn. our interest at this time first and foremost is making certain that both our current patients receive the care they need. that will remain our focus. the health and safety of our patients and employees remains our highest priority and we will continue to coordinate with officials at all levels to meet the challenge that ebola presents to our hospital, our

community, and our country. a lot is being said about what may or may not have occurred to cause some of our colleagues to contract this disease. but it's clear, there was an exposure somewhere, sometime in their treatment of mr. duncan. let's be clear, for a hospital that serves this community incredibly well and we have for nearly a half century. we're a hospital that may have done some things different with the benefit of what we know today, but make no mistake, no one wants to get this right more than our hospital. the first to diagnose and treat this insidious disease has now attacked of two our own. after several weeks of great emotion and great effort, our team spirit is tried and tested and the support of so many is really helping everyone to rise to continue to meet this challenge. thank you. >> good morning.

another long evening and morning for many, many people. we rallied together and we decided that we needed to move quickly like we did sunday morning to make sure two things happened. one, that effective cleaning was done as soon as possible and two, neighbors and the citizens were communicating. it is no odd thing that we decided to do this at 7:00 o'clock in the morning so when folks are getting up, they know what the facts are. it is a concerted effort not only with the county and the state and the city, but individuals out there. this morning chief brown, chief bright, our city manager, were all working coordination to

accomplish our goals for this morning. dallas fire and rescue went to 6,000 block of village bend drive where they began phase one of decontamination of the common areas and the areas outside the apartment. our patient lived alone and with no pets. state of texas has hired protect environmental for phase two, that inside the apartment and the cleaning of the car and the movement of the same -- removing the same. that hopefully will be done early this afternoon. i personally was at the apartment complex this morning and talked to citizens as they were waking up and moving about,

which leads us to the second part of our strategy, communication. we work closely with the apartment managers in creating a strategy that i think is working. each apartment in their complex was -- the door was knocked on and we talked to as many people that came to the door as possible. same time, the apartment complex will be handing out flyers and information to apartment complexes nearby. so we cast the net a little wider. and then we had reverse 911 calls that went out at 6:15 this morning. meanwhile, we continue to not

mr. duncan, but we take care of louise and her family who are still in isolation. they are asymptomatic and they are doing well and as you know, we moved nina's pet yesterday and are making sure that that pet is well and taken care of at the same time. i think there are two things that i harken back to this. the only way that we are going to beat this is person by person, moment by moment, detail by detail. we have those protocols in place, the city and county working closely with the cdc and the hospital. the second is we want to minimize rumors and maximize facts. we want to deal with facts, not

fear. i continue to previous that while dallas is anxious about this and with this news this morning, the anxiety level goes up a level, we are not fearful and i'm pleased and proud of the citizens that i talk to day in and day out knowing that there is hope if we take care and do what is right in these details. it may get worse before it gets better. but it will get better. with that, we will take a few questions. there are a lot of questions we can't answer because either we don't know or because testimony and discussion is going to take place later this week. but we will try to give it a go and give you as much information as we can. we'll start on this side. go ahead and we'll take couple questions here and then move to

that side. yes, sir? >> (inaudible) we're all sympathetic with what you're going through. the second case might suggest some systematic institutional problem. >> i don't think we have a systematic institutional problem. the problem is first and foremost the care of the two patients we have and the ongoing screening of folks in the community. our emergency department has continued to have folks come in. it's a tribute to the information that's been out there in the community about folks to be aware of this. symptomology around eek. our e.d. has been handling that appropriately. the case of this patient here again shows that the ability to

intake those folks, get them into isolation and manage them has been very effective. but we're looking at every element of our personal protective equipment and infection control inside the hospitals. we don't have an answer for this right now. but we're looking at every possible angle around this. >> thank you. right down here. >> was this person a nurse? >> that is private information. it was part of the health care group that helped. >> it is a woman? you said she. >> she is a woman. yes. over here and then we'll come back. >> are you awaiting the results on any other employee? because obviously this woman -- (inaudible). >> that's the state's decision and i'll let them speak to that. later today there will be a

joint conference call as normal with the cdc and the state. >> this case or another case? >> about this case. >> yeah. i'm not sure what briefing you're referring to, which was at 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon? 2:00 o'clock. there was no test as far as i know, that was pending at 2:00 o'clock yesterday. >> (inaudible). >> i don't have the medical records. i've been up all night. i don't believe there was a blood draw then. >> we can't speak about any of the -- about any of the details of the patient's case, presentation, et cetera, because it's protected health information at this time. i'll have to leave it at that. >> right here on the end. >> the hospital was very transparent with employees saying two staff members were admitted to the hospital and were being checked out a couple

of days ago. is it one of those two? >> pardon me? >> the hospital told employees that there were two staff members that had been admitted a couple of days ago and were being checked out. was this one of those two? >> no. >> thankç you. >> follow-up question (inaudible ). >> you want to take that last part? >> sure. that's something that -- that's one of the reasons why we'll be leaving here pretty soon. that's something that the cdc and the state of public health commissioner and reoc are looking at along with the hospital and the cdc and the hospital will answer those questions later after the data is looked at. >> let me just speak to your capacity question. we have at presbyterian an

emergency room isolation set-up. we have an icu isolation set-up where we've let folks in the community know we can manage up to three patients. we've also opened a new area within the hospital to expand our capacity for e.d. screening and i had emphasize our biggest focus in addition to the care of these two patients that are in the hospital is trying to keep our arms around the number of folks who come into the emergency department with concerns about whether or not they've been in contact with folks, et cetera, and then rapidly getting through screening process for those folks. >> two questions right here. and then i'll come over here. >> give us a sense of the time line overnight of what happened, when the results came through and when the announcement we want out, the time line of that? >> so i got confirmation at

about 1:00 o'clock. judge jenkins had gone up to the hospital. i got in the car, went up and met with him. we met with our city individuals in planning this out. we knew the press release was going to be -- >> we are listening to a press conference out of dallas, texas. when you went to bed last night, you did know about the 26-year-old health care worker named nina pham who tested positive for ebola a couple of days ago. there she is with her dog right there. overnight, it was revealed that a second health care worker at the same hospital also has contracted ebola. we just heard from the mayor of dallas was that early this morning, they went to the 6,000 block of village bend drive, which apparently is a large apartment building. they decontaminated the common areas and the outside areas because while they wouldn't reveal much about the new patient, they did say the new patient was a health care worker and had no pets. >> female who lived alone. >> she lived alone and today

this afternoon, they expect to clean her house and clean her car. she has been isolated since, we understand, she came down with a temperature yesterday, within 90 minutes of saying, i have a fever, she was isolated quickly. we understand, according to the 26-year-old's health, been upgraded from stable to good, which is an encouraging sign. but this is is what we heard. we heard up to 70 people, and that number is up to 124, had come in contact with duncan, come in contact with the 26-year-old, and now we understand they're being monitored and now we have a second case of ebola in that very same hospital. you just heard from the judge and you heard from the mayor discussing as much as they feel comfortable saying. they did not say if it was a nurse or not. >> the judge, judge jenkins, is speaking again. let's listen in for another second. >> that's how they contracted the disease and that's how eric duncan contracted the disease. you don't contract the disease from being around asymptomatic

people. they are regularly testing their temperatures. we are going to set up a place where people want to be away from their family, they have the opportunity to do so, or if like nina they live alone with their dog and they choose to be monitored there, they can do that. this is not going to be a situation where we're going to put protective orders on 75 health care workers. the system right now is working. they are taking their temperature regularly. if they have a slight headache, a slight fever, if they get a chill because the breeze blow, they take their temperature. if they have any temperature or any other loose stool or any other symptom, they immediately go to isolation in the hospital and they are tested.

they are not employed, but not working. >> thank you, guys. that's it. appreciate it. >> there you heard the wrap-up of that. we did hear from the judge earlier saying they're preparing for more. we heard from the mayor it may get worse before it gets better and we heard from the chief doctor at texas health resources, it's an unprecedented crisis. let's bring in peter johnson, jr., who has been listening as well and has some thoughts about what we just have seen. >> good morning. i think there is a break point in terms of american health care and in terms of this hospital. this hospital has lost their ability to treat patients, in my view, to treat these ebola patients. for the safety of these two patients in that hospital and the safety of those health care workers, clearly osha should be stepping in, cdc should be stepping in. the white house should be stepping in and by moral swasion, they should be transferred to the nih in washington or to some facility like emory or some other

facility that has the capacity to take care of them. >> we've heard that they were thinking about naming five hospitals, making them ebola hospitals. they're still considering doing that. so the question is, you have 70 other people left, 124 still monitoring. should we have a plan for them today, because we can't continue to look at these things and not do anything. >> apparently we don't. the dallas county executive is speaking. notice the cdc was not present, although they say they have emergency teams on site. we need a robust and critical understanding of what's going on. we don't have it. the president said yesterday that the world is not helping on ebola. tom frieden, head of the cdc said they made mistakes. this morning, sylvia burwell, let's show her picture, head of hhs, in charge of cdc, in charge of nih, in charge of this response, she said when asked whether she had full confidence in this hospital to treat these patients and keep these folks safe, she wouldn't say that she had full confidence. >> obviously not because they violated any kind of confidence

that we might have had in terms of their ability to be able to contain this. it's woefully inadequate. they're running around with temperature thermometers letting people stay home when they could infect others. >> the more and more press conferences we see like this wow the president addressing this issue, it causes concern. it can cause panic. it can cause an absolute lack of confidence in our health care system. this system treated president bush in the past. but clearly they have not been up to this task. and so why are we making excuses at this point? it's time for hard decisions and it's time for hard decisions in terms of osha and c d.c they don't even have the proper standards in place with regard to infectious diseasesç in this country and american health care workers are at risk as a result. >> i think that's fine. but i think you need somebody in charge of all of them. the president has a lot on his plate. i think it has to be somebody in

charge to make these people accountable to make the decisions that they are considering making. >> well, we need a marshal plan at this point. we need a reconstruction of our health system with regard to infectious disease. at the same time, we need a real effort to understand what's happening in west africa and get control of it because we don't get control of it, they're predicting 1.4 million people having it by january. that means based on the death rate, 980,000 deaths. >> now another group of 100, 150 people in terms of contacts with this patient, i approximate for the next 21 days, it's not up to this hospital to say we want to get it right. they've gotten it wrong. people have suffered. these nurses have suffered. we need to move on. they need to be treated and the people in that community should not be subject to these people in haz-mat suits dispensing chemicals on the ground to say it's okay. the mayor is going door to door.

don't worry about a thing. how many press conferences do we have to have and how long will the president hide in the white house? >> he spoke and he complained and i won't say that he whined. he said all the world isn't helping. well, help begins at home. the congress needs to step up, too, because we need to push osha and push this government -- >> it is no reason for our troops to be alone in west africa. where are the rest of the world -- >> let me tell you about that. america should understand because they don't understand now. right now in liberia, there are 29 u.n. peacekeepers, 29 u.n. peacekeepers, 'cause they've had several wars there up until 2004, who are in quarantine or isolation. let's understand the risks our fighting men and women are going to face in those west african countries and let's protect them with the best personal protective equipment. >> they're in way over their head. we're seeing woeful lack of organization and leadership. this seems like they're leading from behind.

and this hospital, they're good at many things, this isn't one of them. why not get a place that can actually manage infectious diseases. >> you're absolutely right. they've screwed up here. time is up. move on. let's get these people better and not infect other people. >> okay. so that's the problem in dallas. but we still have a larger problem where people from west africa, if they don't have a fever and they go ahead and fill out that they're okay on that piece of paper -- >> or lie. >> i understand. and i was on sean hannity's show last night with a couple of very smart doctors who talked about some of the risks. can it mutate? can this go airborne? it doesn't appear. it does not appear that it will. so the issue becomes, should there be a travel ban and will a travel ban work? a professor at northeastern university says a travel ban won't work. that will only delay the onset of the virus. but let's bring the smartest people in america, in the world, and take this on because according to at least one new state department official, this

is the greatest biological risk that we've seen in the past century. we need to take it on. >> just as we go to break, let's review what we learned. there is a second, we learned a little detail. the press conference ended. a second health care worker has come down positive with ebola. she, that's all we know, has been quarantined. 90 minutes after she said she had a fever, they put her in isolation and then we got just a little detail on her. but we do not know what she did. we don't know how she got in contact. we don't know this, what is the violation of protocol? do they know what happened? or do the worker know? >> the same in the two instances, with nurse pham. >> we were talking earlier about how the nurses union put out a letter that said look, we did -- when this guy came in, we did what we thought we had to do. but the cdc has said we're ready. we weren't ready. >> they said that there was no protocol. we have the greatest health care system in the world. it's time for our government to get behind it and give it the support and training that it needs so we together,

republican, democrats, people of all types, can knock this out. not only in america, but around the world. we're not doing it. >> peter, stick around. 32 minutes to the top of the hour. this is not the only story we're covering. a bombshell new report this morning and it is extensive. saddam did have weapons of mass destruction. this is coming out of an unlikely makers the "new york times," and the pentagon responding moments ago. we'll share it. plus, a fine for flying the american flag? that didn't sit well with one neighborhood. now they're fighting back i'm over the hill. my body doesn't work the way it used to. past my prime? i'm a victim of a slowing metabolism? i don't think so. great grains protein blend. protein from natural ingredients like seeds and nuts. it helps support a healthy metabolism. great grains protein blend. wouldn't it be great if hiring plumbers, shopping online is as easy as it gets. carpenters and even piano tuners were just as simple? thanks to angie's list, now it is.

we have got a fox news alert. a press conference just wrapped up about five minutes ago about the latest on the ebola emergency here in the united states. this morning we learned there is a second health care worker in

that hospital in texas who has tested positively for ebola. here is what we know: apparently a woman lives alone, no pets, according to the mayor of dallas. she was also one of the people who helped take care of thomas duncan, the man who died from ebola just last week. >> crews are on the scene right now decontaminating her apartment in dallas. county officials telling us a short time ago they are taking all necessary precautions. >> the protocol to find the virus worked well in that -- within 90 minutes of taking her temperature, she was in isolation in the hospital. >> all right. we move on. the first nurse now to contract the deadly disease, nina pham is moved up to good condition from stable. 75 other people at texas presbyterian hospital are also being watched at this hour. >> sure. we did during the press conference, we heard from the

judge who went into duncan's apartment to make sure that duncan's girlfriend and the family with the sheriff, made sure they would sign an order that they weren't going to scram. he said during the press conference that they are preparing for more people in the dallas area to come down with ebola. presumably people who work there at the hospital. also the chief of texas health presources are the people who run the hospital, he's called this an unprecedented crisis and the mayor of dallas said it may get worse before it gets better. >> all local officials there. the national scene, we'll continue to follow that. that's not the only story we're following regarding medical conditions. >> yep. another crisis developing this morning, that mystery enterovirus may have killed another child. experts warn to expect more. anna kooiman is live with more on that. >> good morning. parents are on edge in an elementary school in peoria, arizona, after a boy in the

first grade died battling a serious respiratory virus and some fear it may be the enterovirus. health officials have yet to confirm if it is. >> i am very concerned, like i guess any parent would be. at first it was something that kind of you just wrote off, kids get sick, stepped up another level. when i came home and i found out unfortunately that someone lost their child today and that's got me just on the edge of panic. >> this news comes as doctors warn we will soon see an extreme spike in cases. instead of national case counts growing by 30 a day, they're expected to jump to 90 or more. here is the reason, health officials will be using a brand-new test. it speeds diagnosing of the enterovirus in children and they'll be able to process four or five times more specimens a day and get results quicker. the virus which does leave children struggling to breathe,

has been linked to paralysis. the cdc is investigating the cause of those symptoms. so far the virus has killed a 21-month-old girl from michigan and a four-year-old boy from new jersey. another reason to wash your hands all the time. kimberly, brian, steve. >> really true. very concerning for parents. >> especially coming now at the onset of the cold and flu season. >> yep. flu, enterovirus, a lot to be vigilant about. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. heather childers with the other news. believe me, there is a lot more news. >> other big stories that we're following for you this morning. we begin with this, a bombshell new report, weapons of mass destruction were found in iraq, but it was kept secret. the "new york times" reporting that between 2004 and 2011, american troops found 5,000 chemical warheads. on several occasions, they even injured u.s. forces. but because of the true nature of the injuries, because that was hidden, those service members did not receive proper medical care or official

story of the day. i loved your interview that you did with him. >> he was great. and so was she. now he can see some stuff, which is amazing. >> including her blue eyes. >> that's right. he's got a bionic eye thanks to technology. >> great story. 21 before the top of the hour. you haven't tossed to maria molina yet. >> the last time i worked with her was new year's eve. it's great to see you and great to see you without a jacket. i think that means good weather. >> yeah. we're look at that sun coming out. we have clouds and it feels very pleasant out here. there are changes on the way across portions of the northeast. take a look at the radar image. we have a cold front pushing eastward and this system is going to be cooling things off a little bit. but it's also going to be bringing in unsettled weather. we have areas of rain f parts of upstate new york, all the way down to parts of the carolinas and several inches of rain are forecast. we could be looking at some locally heavy rain producing some flash flooding across some of these areas. some spots could pick up as much as three to even four inches of

going to be used for fraud prevention purposes and as a matter of best practices, i recommend that you ask them to press 1 or say the word proceed in order for the voice print to be kept so that you have their consent and also in the banking institutions, privacy policy, the collection used in sharing of their personally identifiable information like biometric data should be in there. >> it's very interesting because i would have no problem giving my fingerprints. i want to make sure people aren't walk not guilty as me and cleaning me out. here is an example of the voice print technology and how it could be good. >> there is speech analytics is like having an army of analysts listening in on every call with your customers. we can analyze 100% of your calls and track every single word and phrase mentioned in all of them. >> sounds simple. is there a danger to it? >> i don't think that there is

when -- the real reason for this in today's day and age, the criminals are high-tech people. we need to stay one step ahead of them. and as i advise my financial institution clients, it can be done, but has to be done the right way. >> turns out wells fargo and jpmorgan are doing this now? >> as far as i understand that they are. but could be doing it far better than they are. i'm a privacy attorney and you need to get consumer consent for this kind of thing to happen. >> very interesting. a lot of things have mega bucks and could get cleaned out. i don't mind it, but people are saying this is the nsa on steroids, another example of what i don't want. someone grabbing my print and tell me what i'm doing. >> right. and i understand those concerns. it's very orwailian, 1984, but a necessary evil. you have to get comfortable with these things. apple asking to you provide a fingerprint to open your iphone. it's very creepy, but we need to

the only way that we are going to beat this is person by person, moment by moment, detail by detail. we have those protocols in place, the city and county working closely with the cdc and the hospital. it may get worse before it gets better, but it will get better. >> moments ago the mayor of dallas confirming a second health care worker has been diagnosed with ebola. so how is the deadly virus affecting the market? joining us now to discuss from our sister network, fox business, maria bartimoro.

first things first, how do you think the market will react to that news? >> terrible. this is all about confidence. this comes down to am i afraid to fly? am i afraid to go out of my house? am i afraid to do anything? so all of this is just adding to the nervousness on wall street. so it comes back to confidence and being afraid and dictating my behavior in terms of spending, in terms of living. so this is obviously not good for all of us and it's not good for the markets. that's what we're seeing this morning. >> would you say it's fair to say that while the government over the last week or two has been going trust us, we got this covered, and now we're realizing, wait. they don't, they're realizing, wait a minute, we got a problem here? >> i think this is really what the core of the issue is in terms of confidence. there is a crisis of confidence in america. not just with regard to how the government is handling ebola, but also about the economic story, about our foreign policy. as a result, the confidence has been broken.

we don't trust our institutions. we don't trust the government. this all started in terms of the volatility that we're seeing in the stock market because of global growth worries. everyone is worried about what's happening outside of the u.s. in europe, the economy has deteriorated. we saw terrible data out of germany last week. in china, we've gone from growth of 11% all the way down to 6%. some people are talking about 3%. we're worried about the rest of the world all at a time that america is doing well. corporate earnings are doing well. we're looking at an economy at that is improving in terms of the jobs numbers and now this. now ebola. now we question, is the leadership up to the task with regard to something so serious as an infectious, fatal disease? >> what do you tell families and investors who are really feeling this fear, this crisis of confidence, what do you tell them about their investments and money? >> do not have knee jerk reactions. stay the course. over time, i'm talking long-term, ten, 20, 30 years, the best place in terms of getting any kind of return for your money has been the stock

market. so you don't want to get jittery and try to trade this market and sell out on one headline. you want to look at your investments and say, okay. has anything really changed with the companies that i own? and you really want to stay in for the long-term. >> diversify portfolio is always good? >> absolutely. >> just don't look. that's when i do. >> ignorant investor. >> yeah. i forgot my password.ç maria, what are you going to leave with -- lead with on your show? >> the latest on ebola. we're going to talk with doctors as well as experts to find out how it is possible that even after all of these health care professionals followed all of the protocols, how is it possible that now we're looking at a second diagnosis in dallas? and what is the ramification of travel? what do we need to know in terms of getting on a plane? is everything clean? we're trying to explore everything we can about people living their lives in the face of all of these threats. >> that tray table not really
