he was arrested for shoplifting. this couple brought their bay while they stole video games. was that worth it? >> we hope you have a great weekend. "fox & friends" starts now. >> hi everyone. good morning. today is friday, the 17th of october, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. the ebola scare spreads nationwide. how one case in texas has quickly spread into a multistate nightmare shutting down schools and forcing businesses to close. >> the first person to ever catch ebola in the united states, that nurse who tried to help, now speaking from her hospital bed. that is her. her message to doctors and people all across the united states and around the world, you'll see it here first. >> a heart stopping moment caught on camera. a u.s. marine's close call with a taliban sniper.

>> get back! >> how that helmet saved his h.i.v. meanwhile -- how that helmet saved his life. meanwhile mornings are better with friends. >> hi. this is alan alda, you're watching "fox & friends" and sometimes me too. i'm a friend. >> we haven't seen him for awhile. >> he's probably in the hamptons hanging out with billy joel. >> it is friday and great to have you. it just takes one. thomas duncan lied on that declaration and got into the united states. he had ebola at the time. and then he went to that hospital in texas where he eventually died. the ripple effect of his single ebola case is a fox news alert because thrj morning there is a cruise ship that has been trying to dock in belize but they won't let it in because a

texas health care worker who may have handled one of his blood specimens has self-quarantined herself in the cruise ship. it is believed to be that ship, the carnival magic which can hold up to 5,000 people. >> the health care worker is not exhibiting signs and is part of that self-monitoring program and isn't showing symptoms or feeling achey but is so scared that decided to quarantine themselves and the united states government has asked belize please help us in this situation to get this passenger off of the cruise ship, and they say no way. >> we're about 19 days in now since that health care worker might have been in contact with duncan who sadly has passed away. then you wonder about the other ripple effect. two of the nurses that came in contact with duncan, at least two, that tested positive for ebola and are being treated are now retracing their steps and

who they were in contact with. for example, when amber was able to whom on a flight after -- able to hop on a flight after going to c.d.c. and getting the go-ahead even though the head of c.d.c. said she shouldn't have been cleared and go to ohio to get ready for her wedding, retracing her steps, first off the plane she was on. that plane had her, she disembarked. she goes about her business, frontier goes on these other flights so every one of those passengers on those seven nights is being contacted by frontier, told they could have been contacted with ebola. >> sounds like the airline is doing more than the c.d.c. wants them to. now they are notifying people on seven other naits. the cleveland plain dearly has this jaw-dropping fact. that is that airplane made 26 flights before the c.d.c. said that she may have been on it. right now frontier is reaching out to 700 or 800 people saying they could be

at risk. >> and taking out the carpet and seat covers on the plane. that is what frontier airlines is faced with. the schools in ohio, there are thee of -- three of them that have closed yesterday and today. also three employees at kent state university related to amber vinson have been asked to stay off campus. vinson never went to kent state university but you see how this web is getting bigger. >> amber went to more stops, had a lot to do including the wedding place to look at bridal gowns. she also went to the p.n.c. bank. she went over there and the branch closed. everyone has been told to work from home. a p.n.c. employee was on the same night she took and that is why they have closed the facility until monday. also the reason they closed the schools in ohio is because one of the kids and

their parent were on one of the flights, and just as a precaution, because the flight was, i believe, on monday, the kid went to school on tuesday, they started freakin' out on wednesday, they closed the school on thursday and it's going to be closed again today as well. >> think about all the people that have been affected, how all these businesses are going to be affected, schools. it's been unbleefnl -- unbelievable because thankfully we're getting up for the past two days and not talking about another positive case of ebola. >> both nurses have been transferred to different facilities. nurse amber vinson now at atlanta's emory hospital and nurse nina pham has been sent to the national institutes of health in maryland. casey steegal is live. >> reporter: brand-new video coming in to us from inside nina pham's hospital room here in dallas. she was the first nurse to

be diagnosed with ebola. watch. >> [inaudible] >> an emotional goodbye. right after that the 26-year-old was suited up in beau hazard gear -- biohazard gear and flown to the university of maryland for further treatment. her colleague, 29-year-old amber vinson transferred to emory university hospital the day before. she is the one who flew on two frontier airlines planes, who went to ohio to visit her family, plan her wedding and flew back to dallas there cleveland. she claimed that the c.d.c. cleared her for travel. now the c.d.c. says that she is not entirely truthful in terms of how she was feeling when she went on that trip.

now health officials are reaching out to as many as 800 frontier airlines passengers who were on both flights with her and also the other flights that you mentioned on those same aircraft as the plane continued on to other cities before it was clear what was going on and the airline pulled them from service for sanitizing. all of this happening as the 75 other medical staff members here at texas health president -- presbyterian hospital had contact with thomas duncan forced to sign legal papers, we are told, legal papers that say they will stay in their homes and they will abide by this self-quarantine for 21 days. a judge here in texas saying that those documents are legally binding. >> all right. thank you very much. >> casey saying essentially what the daily news is saying on the cover: keep

calm and carry on. these health care workers are being asked to sign these legal documents and part of it says they need to stay calm. >> the white house was saying keep calm and carry on and now they're doing the drop everything approach. yesterday among the people asked to testify in front of a house committee was thomas frieden. the big question was, i feel almost relieved because as great as thomas frieden is as a person and as accomplished he is, he is frustrating to talk to because he talks in rhetoric, talks in generalities. and we're trying to get to the bottom of why the president and why thomas frieden are so against a travel ban. listen. >> you were involved in conversations with the white house about a travel ban. did they rule it out? are they still considering it? >> from the c.d.c.'s perspective we will consider anything that will -- >> are you going to answer the question about your conversations with the white house? >> we -- >> is the white house

considering a travel ban? >> i can't speak for the white house. >> do you know if they ruled out a travel ban? >> i can't speak for the travel ban. >> have you had conversations with them about it? >> we discussed the issue of travel.ñi >> you see finger pointing there. is it frieden or is it president obama who is against imposing this sort of travel ban? one of the reasons the white house is giving for not putting it in place is it will make us less safe to have this because people will be less likely to be honest about where they have been traveling from. >> there you see the president of the united states. he spoke from the oval room. that is burwell, director of health and human services. on his left is thomas frieden. as it turned out earlier in the day the white house press secretary josh earnest said that frieden for the most part is responsible for the problems we've had. >> we've seen this with other stories. we messed up, somebody

dropped the ball, we fumbled and the person is not held accountable. who is responsible for these shortcomings? >> you've seen in a couple of instances dr. frieden take responsibility for the c.d.c. not performing up to expectations. at the same time the c.d.c. has been focused on the situation since march. >> maybe that is why the president yesterday said he's considering putting someone in charge, an ebola czar. the president has canceled more appearances, is focusing on this single-handedly. it is a very unique thing to see him change gears, not since the texas oil disaster in the gulf of mexico. >> that was going on inside the white house. outside the white house there were protesters. look at that guy in the ebola containment suit. "stop the flights." what's curious is i was reading yesterday, you know how the president doesn't want to do the travel ban, but how are they able to contain ebola just in west africa? you know how? because the other countries in africa closed their

borders. and the ivory coast, guinea bisseau and other countries ravaged by it closed their borders. it's working in africa. >> heather, you've got other news. >> we've been following these stories for you this morning. the meteoric rise of isis, gulf war 3, some of the topics in the newly released video featuring a british hostage. it is the fifth and a series of videos. the hostage journalist is reading the message like any other news anchor. this time he speaks of how quickly isis has grown in size and scope, and the united states he says is just in the early steps of what will undoubtedly become an all-out war. this latest propaganda video comes as isis claims responsibility for a wave of attacks in baghdad, the

most recent one a series of car bombs leaving 14 civilians dead. a raleigh man facing up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to help terrorists. jordan was planning on giving material support to terrorists in syria or yemen. the 22-year-old arrested after speaking with an f.b.i. informant about his terrorist desires. law enforcement later finding weapons and ammo in his apartment. new fallout from the botched fast and furious operation. a new judicial watch report revealing a gun used in a 2013 shooting in arizona came from that gun running operation which the justice department createed to track illegal traffickers in mexico. back in 2010 the operation led to the death of border patrol agent brian terry. finally on a lighter note, what a cone head? people living in brooklyn, new york, in a neighborhood there they're furious a guy

fox news alert, a shocking number of health care workers -- 50 it is estimated -- at the dallas hospital that treated the first u.s. ebola patient may have been exposed to the deadly virus. 50! that according to the c.d.c. director thomas frieden who earlier this week praised the preparedness of hospitals across the country when it comes to dealing with ebola

patients. >> if this one individual was infected and we don't know how, within the isolation unit, then it is possible that other individuals could have been infected as welling. >> of course. but dr. richard ridge says ebola patients should be sent to the specific facilities trained to take care of people with ebola and things like that. good morning to you. we'll talk about that in a moment but i was thinking about people in your business because you're the head of the state's nurses association. how did you feel a couple of days ago when frieden threw the nurses down in texas under the bus by saying if they would have followed the rules, they wouldn't be sick. they followed the rules. >> my phone started ringing saturday morning, nurses very upset in reaction to what the c.d.c. director said. he later backpedaled but the initial charge that some breach must occurred.

unfortunately, blame the nurses was the first approach. we feel it was unjustified. we feel that is sometimes what happens. we don't really know all the facts yet but they were using protective equipment, they got infected and he later retracted that initial statement. >> when it comes to the nurses what are the main concerns when handling somebody who has ebola. >> today the main concern probably is getting the right history because patients present every day with the same symptoms. fever, general muscle weakness. those symptoms characterize many illnesses and so you have to screen them out and get the history. >> especially during the cold and flu season. there was a quote flying out there, if somebody has ebola, put them in an ambulance and ship them where they need to go. >> totally mischaracterized. that was attributed to me. what i have said

specifically what we do in new jersey today, you get medevacked to a specialized burn center if you have burns. this is no different. we would medevac that patient appropriately as we saw later on in the week the c.d.c. finally sent those patients to, one to atlanta and one to maryland. >> there are four hospitals that have biocon taibbiment centers but dr. frieden first said any hospital in america would be fine, any hospital can handle it. do you agree? >> he's partially correct in the sense that any hospital is prepared to handle the initial phase of screening patients, identifying the patient, isolating the patients and then testing them. once they're tested, however, i would disagree with him, and they need to be -- >> sent them to the place that's got the right facilities. >> which they have started doing as of thursday. >> it's about time.

heartbreak got where is. not only was corporal buckley's killer let off with a slap on the wrist -- seven and a half years in prison -- now his family believes the marines are trying to cover the whole thing up. not only did they kill up greg but also two others. welcome the father of greg buckley jr. we went over this a month ago and said if we don't get answers from the marines we're suing. greg, now you're suing. why? >> i need the answers so we can have closure of my son's death. it's been one lie after another. >> he was working out with two guys. they had a couple of days left before they go. this guy was allowed on the base, and he turns around and he shoots all three of them. afterwards, what did he say? >> he did it for jihad. >> he did it for jihad. he is a minor and gets

republicans look bad. >> those outside interest groups can shield a candidate from the backlash of these negative ads. that was a b? the first was an f? the second was an a. 49 minutes after the hour. is that dallas hospital really prepared to deal with ebola patients? a reporter found out firsthand and says the protocol is a total mess. she joins us next hour. we told you about a high school football team fighting to keep this statue after atheists complained. this morning a big update from the quarterback. ♪ ♪ ♪ a long weekend is just an excuse... ...to get a long way from boring.

one high school football team's pregame tradition of touching a statue make atheists furious. >> they claim two bible verses engraved on the statue violate the constitution. now the school board has decided, they voted unanimously this statue must be altered. one of the players who fought to keep the statue now joinses from from -- joins us from atlanta and he joins us now. he's suited up because he has a game. sam, apparently the school board said look, we're going to get sued. it's not worth it. let's change the statue. how do you feel about that? >> well, it was kind of forced upon them because of all the lawsuits they were going to be facing and it's a decision that must have been made. i would like to say that we do have very strong leaders that lead our school in the board of

good morning. today is friday, the 17th of october, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a knocks news alert. the ebola scare spreads nationwide. how one case in texas has quickly turned into a multi-state nightmare, shutting down schools, forcing businesses to close and putting the white house on damage control. is that dallas hospital really prepared to deal with the ebola patients? a reporter sick herself with symptoms, found out firsthand and the news is not good. proof that protocol is a total mess. and a hollywood surprise on the football field. why michigan state university is drafting -- that's right --

batman. because mornings are better with aflac. >> it's time for "fox & friends" our operator standing by to take your phone call. also answer your e-mail, your facebook, your twitter, you name it, we got people standing by. >> reminds me of the beginning of pettycoat junction where the operators are putting the pins in the thing. if you know what i'm talking about, please tell me. is chris chulo here? what am i talking about? >> i have no idea what you're talking about. >> speaking of operators, apparently the cdc has had to hire lots more operators because people are calling up. they've got so many questions because once again, the fox news alert is what happened down at that texas hospital. >> you got a ripple effect big time. for example, think about the two nurses. think about where they went, who they've been in contact with and who they sat next to as they

were waiting and did not know they were exposed to thomas duncan who was positive for ebola, who they treated and ended up coming up positive. for example, what about the cruise ship? the cruise ship by one of the health care workers in contact with thomas duncan. she did not know that she was possibly exposed. >> she actually was a health care worker who may have handled a lab specimen from duncan. so while she's on vacation, she's self-quarantined herself on that ship, the carnival cruise magic. there could be up to 5,000 people on board. what's curious about this is the ship tried to dock in belize and belize said, you got somebody who may have been exposed to ebola. nobody is getting off that boat. so now our state department, which is not identified the ship nor the person, is trying to get her and her husband off before the end of the trip. >> and it has been 19 days since she handle that had lab specimen. hopefully just a couple more days. but you see how belize is

handling this. >> they say no. >> yeah. stay away. >> also remember amber vinson, she took a flight from dallas-fort worth to ohio. now folks in ohio on high alert. eight people have been quarantined and there are three schools that are shut down. one of those had to be shut down because an employee may have been on one of those flights. these schools are having to stay closed over the weekend while they disinfect everything. >> because a parent and a child were on the flight she was on. actually on one of the following flights that she was on and apparently frontier airline, that particular plane made 26 flights before the cdc called. but they were on one of the flights after she got off and then the kid went to school the next day. then they realized that, the day after that and closed the school. they're going to be closed again today. >> what about what amber was doing when she went home? she went to a bridal shop to look at dresses for her bridal

party, for her bridesmaid. that store is closed today. they have since closed it. they'll have to ask people who had direct contact with her, what customers were in at the time. they're evaluating and scrubbing. >> and in addition to her look for the bridesmaid dress, she took the braidsmaids, there shopping with seven friends. also three of her relatives who work at kent state, they've asked them please don't come to school for three weeks. meanwhile, p and c office building in ohio, an employee there took a flight, the same -- was on the same plane, not the same flight -- that amber was on. so what they've done is they've closed that particular facility. apparently up to 1,000 employees have been impacted and it's going to be closed until monday. this is seasonal allergies. that's what this is right here. >> also this is under extreme

precaution. they still you just got to work from home. four minutes after the hour. there is more facets to this story. dallas nurses with ebola. now transferred to different facilities. amber vinson in atlanta and nurse pham sent to the national institute of health in maryland. casey stegall live in dallas with the latest on their conditions. casey, we saw a videotape as well. >> reporter: yes, we did. while i was standing here listening to you talking about this ripple effect across the country, it is important to point out that no one else is showing any symptoms. this is all out of an abundance of caution at this point. we hope that it certainly continues that way and that no one else contracts this deadly virus. officials here in texas, by the way, saying now that 75 employees here at texas health presbyterian hospital who had some form of contact with thomas duncan while he was an in patient here have now signed

legal papers, legal papers that state they will stay inside of their homes. they will self-quarantine themselves 21 days past their last exposure with duncan or any specimens that were taken from him while he was here before he passed away last week. 29-year-old amber vinson is the infected nurse who traveled. she claims that the cdc cleared her for that trip to ohio while the cdc says she was not entirely forth coming now about when she started to show symptoms. she's now being treated at emory university hospital in atlanta. >> reporter: check this out. the other infected nurse, 26-year-old nina pham, this is video from inside the hospital room here this dallas just

before she was transferred to the biocontainment unit at the national institutes of health in maryland yesterday. both women were sent to these facilities at emory in atlanta and the national institutes of health in maryland because they're highly specialized facilities in terms of their staff, their set-up and equipment. they have lots of experience dealing with infectious disease. >> casey stegall live outside the hospital. remember, this all started with one guy, thomas duncan, who lied on the declaration as he was leaving that west african country. the question was, were you in contact with anybody with ebola? and he said no, even though he had carried a woman who was dying into a car. so that has prompted a lot of people to say, we've got to stop people from coming from those three countries into the country. when dr. frieden has been on this program in the past, he said we can't do that because it would economically impact the area. yesterday during the on capitol hill, which was rivetting, he never mentioned

that. he said he was talking about well, if we don't have the system we have in place right now, people -- we have a travel ban, people will go through the poorest borders and wind up here and it will be a lot worse. >> so we're on capitol hill, they're trying to figure out who is it that is opposing this travel ban? the cdc, the white house or representative steve scalise was grilling frieden yesterday. take a listen. >> if you were involved in conversations with the white house about a travel ban, did they rule it out? are they still considering it? >> from the cdc's perspective, we will consider anything that will better protect did she did did she. >> are you going to answer your question about your conversations with the white house? is the white house considering a travel ban? >> i can't speak for the white house. >> do you know if they've ruled out a travel ban? >> i can't speak for the white house. >> have you had conversations with them about it? >> we've discussed the issue of travel. >> the president has not ruled out a travel ban now. he says he's considering it. he's not fundamentally against it. he doesn't think it's the right thing to do right now. he also in a skull session yesterday said i might put

somebody in charge. my people have done a great job. we might be better off having one person, one voice overseeing everyone. haven't we been saying that fort last three weeks? didn't it seem logical? >> does that mean that the president is not happy with what frieden is doing? what is the issue there? >> his issue, he said, listen, thomas frieden has more than ebola to worry about. shouldn't we put somebody just over ebola? >> some are saying give the guy a brake. he knows a lot about the medical community, but not great in crisis management and public speaking. >> but he's who we got. what the president said last night during that availability in the oval room, he said the reason i'm going to not say yes to a travel ban is because i've been talking to these experts. so far the experts have done a great job, haven't they? dr. charles krauthammer was on "special report" last night and he said this about the white house being slow to wake up to the obvious. >> we learn is that they are

still slow, days behind in coming to obvious conclusions. we just heard that the head of the cdc say that we track all visitors coming in. we couldn't even track a nurse who treated mr. duncan all the way to cleveland and we're going to be assured that a person coming in is going to be tracked for three weeks? you check his temperature and it's negative, there is still three weeks in which he can develop symptoms and we're actually going to know where he is, who he talks to and if he gets sick we're going to then have to retrace people he's been in contact with. this is absurd. >> absurd. peggy noonen, "wall street journal" writes, says the white house is making a lot of dumb decisions and said she would call it çhildish, except it would be anlt to children. she said if you had a group of 11-year-olds and said, there is a sick person who wants to come into the house and the front door is open, what do you do? the 11-year-olds would say, you close the front door. it's probably time to close the door until we get handle.

firsthand account as we have this fox news alert. confusion at texas presbyterian hospital, the same hospital that failed to diagnose thomas duncan with the ebola virus. at first, he -- he later died.

two weeks ago, a male online reporter, lauren collins, interviewed duncan's family and shortly after, she started feeling sick. when she went to presbyterian for treatment to make sure she did not have the virus, she couldn't believe what she saw. laura, first off, are you okay? >> i'm absolutely fine, thank you. i'm delighted to report. >> okay. great. you went in, you had a low grade fever. you had contact with mr. duncan's family. so you went in there. tell us what you observed once you got inside beyond the wire, so to speak. >> well, the alarming aspect was that what i observed was that nobody was entire leisure what to do. this is several days into the story. mr. duncan was still alive, but the message that the hospital and the cdc were pumping out was that everything was contained, that their nurses knew what to do. it was quite obvious that they didn't. not to criticize them, the issue was they hadn't been given clear

instructions. they were discussing what orderly should put their protective gear on in, what order they should take it off in. there was no checklist. there was just general uncertainty and considering the seriousness of the situation, that was severely alarming. >> so you had a low grade fever. they kept you in isolation for a couple of hours and let you out, so you're okay. however, i'm wondering if you got in contact with either of the two nurses that ended up going positive because they evidently were tight with mr. duncan early on. >> you're wondering what? >> if you had contact with those nurses that ended up -- >> no, no i didn't. >> okay. because you said one of the most alarming things was about taking the gowns off and protective equipment off. they were confused by it. did you notice who they were going to for advice? >> they were discussing between themselves. there really was a source of a huddle in the isolation room.

there was a glass door and i could hear them discussing. it was obvious that there had been some memo, some instruction somewhere passed down, but what was equally obvious was there was nothing that had been rehearsed. i mean, this is so significant and so crucial in containing the virus that there shouldn't be any questioning each other and working on what to do and that's what was happening. >> other nurses have said exactly what you observed. she's with the daily mail. she thankfully is okay. but she observed the chaos which was inside texas presbyterian. hopefully they're getting their act together at this hour. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. straight ahead, they're hardly parents of the year. mom and dad caught teaching their toddler to steal. put down that milk. pour yourself a glass of wine. get the good box out. ♪

but logan really is the star. he's the rookie in the movie. he's fantastic to watchment michael pena is great. it's definitely a solid world war ii film. i gave it four out of five. what i moon by four is i mean go see it in theaters. the sound effects are amazing. it's not up there with the classic world war ii movies. my grandfather fought in world war ii. it's nowhere near those, but definitely a solid world war ii movie, four out of five. >> okay. while that sounds terrific, and i'm going to go ahead and steal your thunder here, you're giving this next movie five out of five stars. >> that is correct. this movie absolutely blew my mind and it's more intense than most horror movies. called "whiplash." ed idea here is a young drum who are is in a jazz conservatory and he's being -- he has an instructor who is a very abusive, mentally abusive guy, but he's pushing this kid to limits he never expected in the move yes that will blow your

mind from intensity. it's about music and to me, it was a direction, it was the editing, the sound effect, everything about it was fantastic. the lead star in the movie deserves an academy award nomination as does j.k. simmons. this really rocked my world. once it ended, i was out of breath. it's just about music. i highly recommend it. it's in limited release now. but definitely find it. it will be up for academy awards, mark my words. my fourth five out of five of the year. my first three were "birdman," "gone girl," and" boyhood." >> let's talk about bill murray. he's been promoting this. he extremely proud of it. should he be? >> yeah, he should be. i really think he should be. it's getting a lot of oscar buzz. i don't necessarily thinks he deserves an oscar nomination. it's about a young boy who moves next door to a bitter man and he becomes a baby-sitter to the young boy and almost like a saint considering the title of the movie.

>> yeah. basically there was an effort to have kind of a referendum on this ordinance to get it overturned. i'm sure some of these pastors and some conservatives and faite part of the effort to overturn this ordinance. so there is a question as to whether or not they were from the pulpit, if they said anything that might have caused -- there is questions about whether or not all the signatures are valid. but look, at the end of the day, this seems egregious. to subpoena the sermons of pastors? that is beyond the pale and really could have a chilling effect on free speech. >> is this an issue that you feel like both sides of the aisle need to be outraged about? >> look, they should be. my entire life has been nothing but watching movies about the people versus larry flint or hearing about why we should defend alan ginsburg or robert maplethorpe or lenny bruce,

somebody who was out there saying outrageous and controversial and some cases horrific things, that we should defend them because this is america and you have the right to free speech. the aclu defends the american nazis. they defend the right of the ku klux klan to march. horrific groups. but they do it because of this premise that we have to defend even unpopular speech, and yet here we have these houston pastors and there are a few people on the left, i have to concede and give them credit, who are defending their right. but so far i don't know where the aclu is on this one. >> yeah. you think about our history, it's not just the first amendment that's being violated here. many say it vital america's history. you think about civil rights, pastors leading that. martin luther king, junior, the american revolution and the clergymen there, too. we appreciate your time. thanks for weigh not guilty this morning. >> thank you. 48 minutes after the hour on your friday morning. next, the ebola scare spreads

the answer to the aflac trivia question is rudolph -- dolf, lundgren. the winner will get a copy of "george washington's secret six" parents are angry and confused after receiving an unslinging message from school leaders in akron, ohio. it reads, quote, a parent at our school spent time with ebola patient amber vinson when she visited the area this past weekend. >> because of that, the resident community learning center has been shut down, will remain shut down until monday. ezra is a father of a kindergartener and a fifth grader at the school. ezra, first off, you are here talking about what you've been through over the last few days. are you happy that the school reacted this way, essentially saying we're closing the doors and we're cleaning it out? >> yeah. i am. what we experienced was just a really great example of the

school taking really every precaution they could. i'm glad they did it. some parents might say it might be unnecessary. but at this point in time, might as well take the extra precaution and not freak everybody out. >> sure. ezra, i'm sure you, like everybody other parent in that school, had been watching the news over the last week or so out of dallas, which is troublesome. and then you thought, we really don't have to worry about it because there is no way it can get from dallas to akron. >> yeah. there is no way. i was just talking with my fifth grader, actually just monday. the fifth graders were talking around the lunch table saying they were kind of scaring each other about what ebola what do to all of us in america kind of thing. i said, it would be a needle in a hay stack, this isolated incident in texas getting to west akron. and then two days later, getting a phone call saying they're shutting down the school.

>> right. i do notice some quotes from some of the families. they're kind of mad at amber for having a fever or low grade fever and getting on and going out there. where would you categorize yourself and your family? >> well, really we're a family of faith and so when we got the news, yeah, we were scared and surprised. definitely the emotion of fear was there. but we don't let our lives be driven by fear. we always face all kinds of stuff. so as the word got spread in the community, we really felt a great support. so i think it all needs to be taken into perspective. >> okay. you're level headed about this. how about your kids? how are they feeling about going back to school on monday? >> they're doing really good. the fifth grader -- my kindergarten was just happy to be out of school. my fifth grader, he said -- when i explained to him, they didn't tell the kids why they were getting out of school. when i explained to him on our way home why we were taking the time off and i was afraid of his

reaction. but when i explained to him that it's really like -- he's about three levels down from like extra precaution of just in case, and he was like, oh, okay. that makes a lot of sense. well, we'll go back monday. so even to him it was no big deal. >> and be truthful. monday. you're going to put purell in their pocket, aren't you? >> probably, yeah. >> ezra wimberley, father of a couple of kids that goes to a school that closed down because of an ebola scare, thank you very much. >> thanks for having me on. four minutes before the final hour of the week. we still have a big final hour coming up. the president not changing his mind over a travel ban even as the ebola scare spreads. geraldo rivera, we're going to talk to him about that in a minute. congressman louis gohmert and the cdc's failure to forget the country's health care workers. they're both with us now. geraldo i can actually touch roc!

good morning, everyone. today is friday, the 17th of october, 2014. i'm anna kooiman in for elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. the ebola care spreads -- scare spreads nationwide. schools close down, cruise ship stuck at sea. now the white house on damage control. should someone be fired? what about a travel ban? geraldo is here to weigh in. have you ever heard about this? republican louis gohmert, a congressman, taking some heat after standing up for nurses and slamming the cdc. >> good night. they set them up and then throw them under the bus. >> and if you think he's going to back down, he's not. he's doubling down and louis gohmert joins us live next. wow. ever wonder what a meteor hitting your town would look like? there you go. now you know. if you didn't see it personally, it didn't hit your town.

that's good news. here is better news, mornings are better with friends. >> hi, this is debra messing from the "mysteries of laura" and will request will and grace. >> how great was she earlier this week. >> what did she do that was so great? >> she was just great. >> she was very friendly. >> before the interview, after the interview, during the interview. >> very nice. just one of the people who stopped by this week. we're delighted you would join us on this friday. anna is in for elisabeth. good to have you. we got a lot to talk about this final hour. a fox news alert. the texas ebola 'causing a ripple effect. a cruise ship now stuck at sea after it was revealed that a passenger on board works at the texas hospital and may have handled a lab sameness from the ebola victim, eric duncan. casey stegall is outside that hospital with the very latest. people are trying to be calm about all this, but there is a lot in the news today, casey.

>> reporter: yeah. there is certainly a level of concern as you hear about some of these employees who were traveling and have traveled. the state department -- let's talk about the cruise ship because the state department is giving us some of the information on this. they say that the person on board the cruise ship right now is an employee here at texas health presbyterian hospital in dallas. they did not have direct contact with patient zero, thomas eric duncan, who died of ebola here last week. however, this person may have handled a lab specimen that was collected from him. the employee is on board the carnival magic which left port in galveston, texas on october 12 bound for the caribbean before the cdc updated its active monitoring program for the health care workers here. remember, they were originally told, just watch yourself. this person is not sick. it's important to point that out. but they have voluntarily remained isolated in a cabin as

the feds work to get them off of that ship. 29-year-old amber vinson is the nurse who is infected with ebola and who also traveled. vinson claims, however, that the cdc cleared her for that trip to ohio that she took to plan her wedding, while the cdc says she was not entirely forth coming about when she started showing symptoms. she is now being treated at emory university hospital in atlanta. >> really proud of you. >> reporter: look at this, the other infected nurse, 26-year-old nina pham. this is video from inside her hospital room right here in dallas just before she was suited up and transferred to the biocontainment unit at the national institutes of health in

bethesda, maryland yesterday where she is now undergoing treatment for this deadly virus, guys. >> all right. casey, thank you very much. by the way, casey, last night flying into jfk, apparently a passenger from africa died. do we know anything about that? >> well, we're under the impression that ebola has been ruled out here. as you know, there are a lot of these concerns, people that are showing symptoms, but it turns out not to be ebola. we understand that a passenger died in midair on their way to the united states from nigeria, but ebola has been ruled out there. >> yeah. the passenger apparently was exhibiting symptoms, but they've ruled it a heart attack. casey, thank you very much for joining us this week live from dallas. >> the autopsy says -- it's friday, which means it's geraldo time. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. >> rose between the thorn. >> geraldo, the president seems to be changing possibly.

i'm not philosophically against a travel ban. and then tom frieden did not have adequate answers yesterday on capitol hill. >> where should i start? the travel ban? i thought it through and what i was against the travel ban until the african nations themselves imposed two dozen of them, a travel ban. >> yes. >> on their fellow african nations. the caribbean nation of jamaica, guyana in south america also imposed travel bans. so what happens if everyone else is imposing a travel ban that kind of has the effect of pushing people from the infected three countries toward the united states. so here is what i would do. first of all, the resistance to a travel ban is based on a practical reason, the difficulty if you ban travel of getting aid workers in, getting assets in. what i would do knowing that we do have surplus military air lift capacity is schedule right now military flights from the

united states to the infected areas, bringing not only our troops, but supplies, aid workers and have those flights ready to return those aid workers after they themselves are quarantined and self-monitored in terms of the other, main population, the civilian population of the infected areas, what i would do is have big quarantine areas where they can be contained for three weeks, monitored on a regular basis. if at the end of the three-week period they're still clean, then i would allow them to travel on that limited basis. >> the other argument the president made against imposing a travel ban was that people who were traveling may be less likely to be honest about where they have been, or to seek medical treatment if they've been in west africa. >> my plans eliminates the need for honesty. my plan is very, very specific. this is a 21-day incubation period. you come in on day one. i check your temperature, check you out. day two, i check you again.

you stay in this big, big circus tent with a fence around it. you can't go or come. you are monitored on a regular basis. and then look how intently we scrutinize people who get the tsa precheck. they went through every aspect of my life before they gave me the precheck. we can be that thorough with these people. >> i like your plan. and you make a great point because the way they've been able to isolate it in west africa is the other african countries say, you can't come in. two weeks -- >> they have led us in this. they've taken geraldo reluctantly to the right side. >> two weeks ago, you were the first person who said, we need an ebola czar. that has really gained traction. the president kind of sounded open to it, but at the same time -- >> i think he's going to do it. >> if he's open to it, he would have done it already. >> the problem dealing with the government as long as i have is very simple. here you have the national institutes of health. you have the centers for disease control.

you have the defense department with the enormous involvement of the defense department. these are three agencies that don't really communicate. they exist independently. if you saw a pouchy sitting next to frieden yesterday, they barely had any communication between themselves. it is obvious from a management point of view as i said two weeks ago that you need one person in charge. two weeks ago i suggested the surgeon general, not realizing he was only acting in all the political turmoil around the president's appointee of his surgeon general who headed doctors for obama public health qualifications. the man to do it, i have spoken to him and he will accept the job, i was in new orleans, hurricane katrina, 2005. the city was in chaos. there were dead bodies in the street. babies had gone unfed for three days. one man arrived, the commander general of the first army,

lieutenant generousle henri. he came. he immediately -- i'm telling you, he took control. he imposed order there. not only is he a military commander with great administrative experience, combat experience and reason, he also has been associated with emory university for eight years. he was in charge of biowarfare, infectious diseases. this is a man with impeccable qualifications. he can take over today. i asked him would he take the job. he said the phone is on my desk. mr. president, call me. >> absolutely. >> meanwhile, next to him when he said that, thomas frieden. in your mind, should thomas frieden go? >> i think, brian, people make mistakes. look at the dallas presbyterian hospital. two weeks ago i said to great criticism that they didn't treat thomas duncan. they treated a stereotype.

i know i'm going to get heat for what i'm about to say. there is president obama doubt in my mind, having worked so many drug exposes, stories i've done. i've been in so many big public health emergency rooms late at night, poor black, uninsured guy gets there, you don't see the patient. you see the stereotype. i believe that's what happened. i think severe criticism. appropriately accepted by presbyterian. now to frieden. frieden should not be fired at this point. you don't want to create a vacuum there. if you impose the ebola czar, frieden becomes someone who works for the ebola czar. i think it really takes care of itself. >> then they can give those long answers that are nonsensical. >> you can not give an answer like that to the general. >> have a good weekend. >> thank you. heather childers standing by with the news.

>> we'll fist pump. another big story we're following, not only ebola, but isis making headlines at this hour. a fox news alert first happening right now. at least 14 people feared dead after a ventilation grate collapses after a concert in south korea. these images are just coming in. a crowd was standing on the grate whether they fell through into a deep air shaft. at least another ten people seriously injured. rescue crews now trying to pull everyone out. and to isis, the meteoric rise of isis, gulf war 3. just secretary of state of the topics in the newly released isis video featuring british hostage john cantlie. it's the fifth in a series of videos of a hostage is reading for the terrorist group's message. and he's reading it like any other news anchor. this time he speaks of how quickly isis has grown in size and scope and the united states, he says, is just in the early

steps of what will undoubtedly become an all-out war. this latest propaganda video comes as isis claims responsibility for a we have of attacks in baghdad. the most recent ones, a series of car bombs leaving 14 civilians dead. new fallout from the botched fast and furious operation to tell you about. a new judicial watch report reveals a gun used in a 2013 shooting in arizona came from that gun running operation which the justice department created to track illegal traffickers in mexico. back in 2010, of course, that operation led to the death of border patrol agent brian terry. have you ever wondered what a meteor coming straight towards your town might look like? well, here it is. is that what you thought it would look like, steve? well, this happened in brazil. experts say the meteor was part

of a shower caused by debris from haley's comet. it burned up before hitting the ground thankfully. so nothing was damaged. dramatic pictures there. >> what a light show. thank you very much. is the president using the ebola crisis to get votes from single women? congressman louis gohmert says it looks awfully suspicious. he thinks politics could be involved. he's next. then parking wars, this guy found a way to save himself a spot and tick off neighbors. ♪ ♪

texas congressman louis gohmert taking some heat this morning after making these comments about cdc director tom frieden. >> it's a shame that the cdc had frieden apparently is the new commander of the democrats' war on women nurses because good night, they set them up and then they throw them under the bus. >> so what exactly did the congressman mean?

do you have any idea? >> congressman louis gohmert is here to explain all this. good morning, congressman. thank you for joining us on "fox & friends." >> good morning. well, first of all, you had the cdc that couldn't even explain what protocol got violated. but instead of asking forgiveness and explaining they had not gotten protocols where they needed to be, they come out and say, well, this nurse got ebola because she violated protocol. at least in football the referee has to tell you what rule you violated. they couldn't do that because they had never gotten the rules to them. they had never gotten the protocols out. so they immediately blame the nurse. you would have thought that would be enough. but oh, no, when the second nurse gets ebola, they immediately say she shouldn't have been out there flying, failing to tell us that actually we're the ones that told her that she could fly. i mean, it isñi a war on these poor women nurses and they are doing the best they can and the

cdc -- i don't want frieden to resign. i agree with -- >> geraldo? >> geraldo was talking about that. i have to bow to him in certain areas where he has more expertise, like selfy nudies, he's got more expertise there. but with regard to the cdc, frieden ought to stay on. but instead of continuing to complain about female nurses, he ought to go to one of those hospitals and put on

nurses uniting and firing back and sticking up for that nurse, and maybe that's what put him on his heels. >> well, it could be. it could be. but i also think when you look at what the cdc and the president have been doing and saying, there is apparently some deal back there that's been made with these ebola-infected nations and i think we're going to find out about it when the president has a lot more flexibility after the election. i just think there is some deal here. that's why they won't do a travel ban. every caring mother in america knows and has said at one time or another to their child, no, you're not going because you're sick and you're not going to give it to them or this child's sick. they're not coming over here. mothers understand that. nurses understand that. it's a shame the cdc and the president don't understand that. >> all right. congressman -- >> i think there is some deal there. we'll find out about it later. but this administration has already expedited visas for

parents, they want their kids to play sports, but at the same time, they're a little worried about the concussion because that's pretty scary stuff. you got stats. 70.5% of sports brain injury visits to the e.r. were ten to 19-year-olds and males sustained injury most often playing football or bicycling and females most often sustained injuries playing basketball or soccer or bicycling. so your company has figured out some ways to protect -- we'll talk about football -- but kids who play lacrosse and who play socker and stuff like that. >> exactly. we took this military grade protection, adopted it for sports and put it into things such as helmets, head bands, as you're seeing over here. we call the halo. and body armor to protect the ribs and lower parts. >> and the reason i know about this is because my daughter, sally, goes to smu. she has an internship at an advertising agency and they were telling me with this at smu and there is the team right there. they've got the inserts in their

helmets and what's so far this year, what's the concussion rate been? >> it's been zero among every single player wearing unequal. >> unbelievable. tell us -- so you've got the halo, which kids who are playing soccer or lacrosse can do. tell me about the shirt. >> the shirt is called the invincible. we designed our military grade composite to go inside the ribs and on top to prevent additional rib injury. we've done toni romo, ben roethlisberger and 14 other quarterbacks. >> somebody wanted to find out how effective this was, so you put this shirt on and then they -- who was it and who took the bat to you? >> the nfl wanted to show how good the technology was when they filmed the nfl 2020. so they took that bat and one of our protective garments and broke a bat across my chest. >> and did they break anything inside of you? >> i had a medical exam, nothing was broken. what i'm really competed about is the study done on national

high schools. 1200 high school kids and those wearing unequal had less than a 1% concussion rate. those without had nearly a 10% concussion rate. this was done by a team doctor in texas, dr. chad stevens. >> it's great stuff. if i were a parent and i had a kid who was playing high school football or any of the leagues, i'd think about one of those inserts that cost about 60 bucks? >> yes. >> very good. rob, we thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. >> really neat stuff. coming up, the president opens the door to an ebola czar and his press secretary blames dr. frieden. are politics at play in handling the crisis? we'll talk to chris wallace. she was on maternity leave and ordered to court. this attorney brought her baby along. how the judge ruled on that straight ahead. ♪ ♪ y'know what my business

what's going on? >> well, two things. one hopes that what's happened is he realized the situation -- i don't think you can say it's spinning under control, but it's certainly not under control and he needs to get a better handle on it. and secondly, is there some politics in it? less than three weeks before the election, of course there is. it's like a lot of things. and there is the reality, he wants to try to get a better handle on it. there is a perception that he wants to get a better handle on it. >> yeah. no doubt about it, i think sometime today or over the weekend, as late as monday, we'll see the introduction of an ebola czar. he kind of laid the ground work yesterday. thomas frieden was there to defend his actions and define what exactly he's doing and why he's against a travel ban. here is steve scalise talking to him and then you'll hear from josh earnest. he was asked who is really to blame for this. let's listen. >> if you were involved in conversations with the white house about a travel ban, did

they rule it out? are they still considering it? >> from the cdc's perspective, we will consider anything that -- >> are you going to answer the questions about your conversations with the white house? is the white house considering a travel ban? >> i can't speak for the white house. >> do you know if they ruled out a travel ban? >> i can't speak for them. >> have you had conversations with them? >> we've discussed travel. >> we've seen this with other stories. we messed up. somebody dropped the ball. we fumbled. and a person is not held accountable. who is responsible for these short comings you're talking about? >> you have seen at least in a couple of instances, dr. frieden take responsibility for the cdc not performing up to expectations. at the same time the cdc has been focused on this situation since march. >> and chris, there are some who are calling for dr. frieden to go, but then again, at the height of a crisis a good time to fire somebody? >> no, i don't think it is. i don't incidentally think frieden was wrong in his answer to steve scalise. the decision as to whether or

not to initiate a travel ban is the white house's, it is the president's. there are a lot of factors in it, including things that the state department, for instance, would want to weigh in on, the defense department. so that really isn't his call. look, they have clearly made some serious mistakes at the c d.c they did not give the proper protocols nor make sure that the protocols were being enforced at that hospital in dallas. allowing these people who had come in direct contact with the likian man who died, mr. duncan, to fly around the country and the woman actually calls, the nurse, amber vinson, and says, hey, i've got a little bit of a fever. they say well, it's 99.5, not 100.5, get on a plane. really? common sense. this is a woman who has been in direct contact with duncan. if she has any fever at all, you don't let her get on the plane. here is the problem, is that you want your chief spokesman to be somebody who inspires confidence

and thomas frieden doesn't inspire confidence among a lot of people. i don't think he necessarily needs to leave the cdc, but probably needs to leave as the face of the administration in its fight against ebola and that's why i think there is a very good chance and the president laid the possibility wide open last night that you're going to see an ebola czar and i hope he or she will appear on fox news sunday this week. we're asking the white house. >> if frieden goes, there is no real guarantee that the replacement would be any better. you got a big show coming up on sunday. what are you going to talk about? >> yeah. first of all, we will have the very latest on ebola and we hope we'll have a top administration official. then the elections just two weeks away from this coming tuesday. the chairs of the republican and democratic parties, interestingly enough, this will be the first time they have appeared together this year is. >> what a show. >> only on fox news sunday. >> wow. >> i feel like ed sullivan.

there is obviously ebola has some politics, too, so we'll be talking about that as well. >> that's your blue card. >> it's a really big shoe. >> really big show. >> when he's not dancing to rickey martin, he is impersonating ed sullivan. >> listen, that takes days. >> i know what you're talking about. >> what tape is he talking about? >> i don't know what he's talking about. we're going to be watching. by the way, 9:00 o'clock eastern time this morning, governor o'malley will be talking about maryland's response and readiness to handle ebola. you'll see that. >> a man that might be running for president. other stories making headlines, heather childers has those. >> some stories we've been following. we begin with this, a helicopter rescue caught on camera after a small plane crashes into a forest east of l.a three people on board hoisted to safety. amazingly surviving with only bumps and bruises and a couple of broken bones. it's not clear yet if the pilot was trying to land or trying to

take off. the cause of the crash is under investigation. an attorney and a new mom forced to take her baby to court after an atlanta judge refused to delay a hearing during her maternity leave. stacy nichol had no one to watch her four-year-old daughter, but the judge said that is no excuse and even went as far as to scold the new mom when the baby cried in court. the judge eventually delayed the hearing. the mom filed a complaint against him. a georgia high school football team pre-game tradition of touching a statue making atheists furious. they claim biblical verses violated the constitution. now the school board has voted unanimously that the statue must be altered. sam bartlet, a member of the team who fought to keep that statue, joined us earlier to show that he's not angry, but thankful for the experience. >> that monument of a few thousand people would have been

able to see that monument at a madison county football game. but the attention it drew and like me just -- this is such a great opportunity for me to come on this show. i got to share my faith and the gospel with millions of people compared to just the thousands i would have seen that monument. >> what a wise kid there. sam says he has no ill will toward the atheists who campaigned against the statue. and finally, what a conehead. people living in a brooklyn neighborhood are furious that this guy with his flashy sports car keeps reserving his parking spot with orange hazard cones. neighbors telling the "new york post" that parking is limited to begin with and they say the man doesn't even live there, but has a maintenance job nearby. the car also has a sticker on the front windshield that reads like this, drive it like you stole it. the man says that he does this with every new car that he buys to protect it. that being the cones.

>> thank you. i wonder if he gets parking tickets. >> i don't know. i think that's why he puts the cones there. >> maybe. >> so it looks like he's official. >> it kind of does, although it doesn't look look any of the official cars here in new york city. most of them are prius. >> that's true. coming up straight ahead, a fox news alert and all-out effort right now to find more than 100 people on these flights. are you one of them? on those flights were the people infected possibly by the nurse. we're going to be live at the cdc headquarters. and it do you want a happier family? our next guest says he can make that happen in just five days. dr. kevin lehman has the way and he's coming up. >> he's making a couch call. ♪ ♪ aaaaaaaa!

questions. we hate the why word. >> so one of the first tips you say, communication. you got to get it going, otherwise it's not going to work. >> right. and kids are weird. they put the music in. what do most parents say, turn that down! my suggestion, say to the kid, turn that up. they go what? and they turn it up a little bit. say louder. kids are either going to become -- >> what if you hate the music? >> you're going to hate the music. there is not a parent in the world that loves their kid's music. but you got to connect with the kid. you change the words. with husbands, again, we hate questions. tell me more about that. it's a command, but it doesn't put the defenses up. >> then you got to pay attention after you say that. >> that's the hard part. >> we're not listeners. >> right. as a gender, we tend to listen. >> the key, though -- next up on your roster, ed is respect. >> kids today distheir -- distheir parents. we have seen the them.

flew back from cleveland to dallas, the return trip, frontier flight that she took after she was already showing a low grade fever. the cdc was looking for them. now they say they're looking for people who were on the initial flight, the one she took friday, october 10, from dallas up to cleveland. that would be frontier flight 1142 'cause they say it's possible that nurse amber vinson might have been sick before she got on that flight initially. so they're trying to find those folks. and on top of all that, frontier airlines is out there trying to find anybody who flew on the plane after she was on it 'cause they want to get ahold of them and make sure they put them in touch with c d.c you're talking about hundreds if not more than 1,000 people. you add up all those flights, including a couple that came in and out of atlanta, so you can see the folks here in atlanta pretty concerned about that as well.

cdc is saying it's really not a real health problem that they don't think that anybody is going to get ebola from this woman who were on these flights, but they do want to make sure they come forward so they can monitor them just to be safe. >> all right. in atlanta, thank you very much. it's a sea of pink on our plaza. we are walking for a cure now. and next. ♪ ♪ hey mom, what's for dinner? something awesome. cool. wisest kid, i need something awesome. to make it awesome, make it "mini." like campbell's® mini chicken pot pies. awesome, mom.
