thanks to my panel and all of you for watching. i am paul gigot. hope to see you here next week. a lapse in safety over ebola here in the united states. i am march sell nefls. bombshell revelations from anthony fauci. he says protocols were inadequate. saying those caring for thomas eric duncan at the dallas hospital were left vulnerable because sections of their skin was exposed. with more on disturbing details and the response on capitol hill, peter doocy is live in washington. first, there was a big meeting last night? >> there was. it was interesting. we watched as some of the

president's top advisers arrived. defense secretary chuck hagel, hh secretary jay johnson was here, hhs secretary sylvia bureau well, and dhs secretary, jay johnson, and they were meeting on saturday night to figure out how the feds and states could work together to basically find everybody that came in contact with one of the ebola patients and stop the spread of the disease. the new ebola czar ron klain was at the white house not at this meeting according to a readout provided by the press office. then this morning, we heard from dr. anthony fauci from national institutes of health. he says it sounds like the two nurses that were following protocols that are okay in a field but not okay in a hospital. >> what's clear now when you're in an intensive care setting, doing things you would never do in the bush or in the field in africa, very invasive type

procedures, that that's not the optimal way. so we don't know for sure, but it is likely she got infected because not completely covered. >> the pentagon announced this afternoon that they're going to respond to an hhs request by training within the next week or so a 30 person medical support team, 20 nurses, 5 doctors, 5 infectious disease trainers, they would be deployed domestically only if a hospital in the states became overwhelmed by ebola patients. >> so peter, those moves you mentioned by the white house, have they satisfied the president's critics? >> not yet. prominent republicans continue to press the president to enforce a travel ban from effected areas. listen to this. >> i think we should use every reasonable precaution possible to get ahead of ebola, and i think that does include looking at things like travel restrictions, necessary

quarantines, so that we use every possible precaution we can think of to make sure we can contain the spread of this. right now, there's a huge lack of confidence in the competence of our government. >> in his weekly address, the president says he does not think a travel ban would work. one of the main reasons is he thinks it would make it difficult for american ebola experts to get to effected areas in africa. >> peter doocy, thank you so much. meanwhile, the female passenger that kept herself isolated on board a cruise ship is back home. the carnival magic arrived in galveston, texas earlier today after mexico refused to allow the ship to dock in cozumel. the woman is a dallas health care worker that may have handled some of the lab specimens from the ebola victim thomas eric duncan. the coast guard sent a chopper to get blood samples from the woman while the ship was at sea. texas health officials say the blood tested negative for ebola. catch ebola in america, hosted

by harris faulkner and david david samadi, 4:00 p.m. eastern, immediately following this news cast. check that out. the u.s. led coalition pounding isis with new air strikes near the town of kobani. even in the face of intense barrage, the terrorists are fighting back as they mount another offensive to try to seize that strategic location. greg palkot is live near the border with more. greg? >> reporter: we are getting word in the last 24 hours one of the strongest clashes between isis terrorists and kurdish militia we have seen in several days now, one of the stronger waves of u.s. bombing strikes against isis as well. this is certainly a fight to the finish. i am told that isis in the last two days had been reinforcing their forces and tried to take the offensive once again, attacking on three fronts,

pounding the curds with mortars and three different car bombs. the kurdish defenders repelled them and in fact we are told the battle lines haven't changed. second, there have been 70 isis terrorists casualties. they bid on the offensive, hitting isis with 11 air strikes, targeting 20 terror fighting positions. analysts basically are telling me as brave as the kurdish fighters are, the air strikes are the main thing keeping them in the game and it is a game we still don't know who will win. in part because turkey is still taking a hard line. turkish president erdogan saying he will not allow the u.s. to transfer weapons to kurdish fighters, they are linked to a kurdish group in turkey and washington calls terrorists. this battle with isis is not only difficult but very complex.

back to you. >> that's for sure. greg palkot, thank you so much. thousands remain without power today on the island of bermuda. that's after hurricane gonzalo came ashore and battered the island. the international airport is scheduled to resume operations later today. clears are clearing downed trees and power lines. lots of damage but luckily no reports of death or serious injuries. a somber task going on now in virginia. police say they have found human remains on an abandoned property that could be those of missing university of virginia sophomore hannah graham. now forensic testing is under way for confirmation. leland vitter has more. >> reporter: i want to set the scene for you. we are standing where hannah graham was last seen a little over a month ago with jesse

matthew. the area they found this body is ten miles as the crow flies, it might as well be a world away in terms of the difference. really very rural part of virginia. thick woods there. police were out again today searching that area. we are told by a police source they're looking for clothing and a cell phone. yesterday around noon, searchers came across that body. they say in a dried out creek bed near an abandoned home in a rural part of town. there they found this body. they're not confirming whether it is hannah grahams or not but they called off all other searches and also called to tell this news to her parents. it is not the first time police found a body in this area. they found the body of morgan harrington as well in that area, she disappeared five years ago from a metallica concert, was linked by forensics to the same suspect as in the hannah graham case, this man, jesse matthew. he is charged only with

abduction in the hannah graham case, so far not murder. he did flee to texas, they brought him back, and obviously the charges could change. >> very significant, hannah, they were found so close by. maybe two miles from each other from where morgan went missing where the remains were found yesterday. the other thing that's very significant here is the fact that jesse matthew's mother owned a home about a block away from where the remains were found yesterday. and this is an area that jesse matthew grew up in and he is very familiar with. >> right now, the search is still going on for more evidence in that area. police have asked for anyone who saw any kind of suspicious activity around when hannah disappeared in that very specific area to come forward, perhaps they could shed more clues on the case. as for the body found, it will be sent to the state medical examiner in richmond. not only are they looking for cause of death but obviously to make that official identification of the body, if

it is indeed miss graham, to bring some type of closure to her family, even though it would be with the worst of news. back to you. >> leland vitter, thank you very much. there are new details in the search for a pennsylvania man suspected in the ambush shooting of two state troopers. police now saying a woman spotted a man matching the suspect's description in a wooded area about six miles south interest where police have been searching. the woman telling police the man had his face caked in mud, was carrying a rifle. eric frein has been on the run for five weeks. he hasn't been seen since early september when police say he ambushed two state troopers, killing one and seriously injuring the other. a pumpkin festival turns violent. police fire tear gas and rubber bullets at an unruly crowd. where this happened. and the home stretch for the mid terms.

chaos breaking out at a pumpkin festival early this morning. it happened near keen state college in new hampshire. dozens of nearby parties quickly getting out of hand. one student says people started throwing everything they could they could find from rocks and pumpkins. police in full riot gear used tear gas to eventually control the crowd. at least 30 people were injured and 14 others arrested. >> so we're going to win on the issues. also what you're seeing, we are winning on the ground. >> we are going to hold the senate because the next couple

weeks and leading up even to today, the one question that voters are going to ask themselves, chris, is who has my back. >> both parties think they will control the senate after the mid terms. a new "the wall street journal" nbc news poll shows democrats may have a hill to climb. likely voters favor a republican held congress over a democratic one. 49 to 44%. joining me now, tom rogue. you saw that, who has the better argument? >> i think it is clear that the republicans have the better argument at the moment, from my opinion, i think the republicans are going to be able to take the senate 53 to 47. i think what you've seen is an election cycle in which it has been favorable to the republican party. originally from obamacare, but now because of issues like ebola and iraq and broad presidential leadership and struggles on the

part of democratic campaigns. if 2012 was the year of republican campaign gaps, certainly 2014 is the year of democratic campaign gaffes. all of those things make it an unfavorable day in november for the democrats coming up. >> let me pull up something from the "the new york times" article that says crushing democratic losses across the country if the party did not do more to get black voters to the polls. as you know, that's very important and you also know, tom, that typically for mid term elections, black voters have loafer voter turnouts. also a "the new york times" political article today says that president obama is falling out of grace with women voters. considering those two stats, if you will, what is the most pressing issue for the democratic party right now? >> i think the big problem that the democratic party have are

the issues i mentioned. at the same time, as you know, there is concern. democratic friends talked to me about this as well, they're worried that especially african-american voters won't come out to the polls or not to the same degree as in 2012, because the president is not on the ticket, and that women are less interested. we have seen some pretty interesting reporting on that. i do think, of course, that those two voting blocks, sometimes unitary voting blocks, they'll be more in the democratic camp. the question is how can the democratic party get their supporters to the polls in large numbers because republicans are expecting a very high turnout. and just as all of the negative reporting toward the democratic party continues, that issue will become increasingly more important and more of a detriment to the democratic party going toward the election. >> i know president obama did some radio interviews, specifically targeting the black community. he talked to ricky smiley, to

adams, to steve harvey, he is trying to get the base riled up if you will to get them to the polls. we talked about the dems. let's talk about this. what are uphill battles of the republican states at this point? >> as we get closer to the election, already seeing it in places like colorado, seeing it to a degree in kentucky where democrats are playing up again women's issues, a big wedge issue that republicans want extreme positions, what would be considered by independent voters as extreme or abortion. try to inflate it with the republican party. you saw that on fox news sunday a little bit with miss wasserman schultz. as that comes close to the election, the issue for democrats will be how much can they push that and how much are voters not as receptive to that any more. what you've seen interestingly, especially in the context of feeling the democratic party from the president down has lost

a sense of gravitas. interesting how tom kauffman has come up the last couple months against his democratic challenger. >> tom, we are out of time. tell me this. are you saying in general republicans going into the mid term have nothing to worry about, hands down they're going to win their races? >> no. we were talking about how democrats pursue wedge issues. colorado, for example, iowa, certainly much in the bag. north carolina i think the democrats will hold with kay hagan, but i think it is looking favorable to the republican party, and i think if this trend continues, we are looking toward a 53-47. i am rolling the dice with that one. >> roll the dice. talk to you soon. >> and i am american as well, with a british accent. >> i love it. you sound great. the dream of owning a home, may be a reach for some.

others seem to be doing fine. a tale of two real estate markets and what it means for the economy. we will talk about that next.

across the country, the cost of renting a home is on rise. according to a new study, nearly 25% of the people who rent say coming up with enough money to pay their bills every month is, quote, very difficult, and that a sudden emergency will just break the bank. let's bring in brenda buttner, senior business correspondent. always a pleasure. >> same here. >> so is it that more homeowners -- is there more stability in their jobs, more equity in their homes? >> that's a very good point. it's hard to know cause and effect. homeowners tend to make more than $50,000.

renters tend to make less. renters also have more credit card debt. they have more medical bills because chances are they don't have benefits. it's harder for them to get by. plus, as you mentioned, rent is on the rise. it was up 5.5% last year. now, that places it as 40% of the average income. you should never go above 30%. so that's very difficult. also, the other thing is that it's not like the young college graduate who's eating cup of noodles renting now. the average age of a renter is 41 and they have dependents. the picture of our housing market truly is changing in this country. >> i have a theory, but you tell me. you're expert. why is it rent is going up? i figure because you have a bigger market of renters out there so the folks who are owning these properties can charge more because you have fewer rental properties available.

supply and demand. >> you know, why am i even here? honestly. you can ask the questions and answer them. that's absolutely right. that's exactly right. that's the issue. it's all about supply and demand. now, you have to take studies like this with a grain of salt. it really depends on the market. in real estate, it's always location, location, location. in places like phoenix and san antonio, it makes more sense to buy than to rent. so you know, it really depends on where you are. >> so when does it make more sense to rent than buy? >> well, if you're going to be -- if you need more mobility -- for example, if you're afraid you might lose your job and have to move, it makes more sense to rent. if you think you're going to move in the next five years, you should rent. also, there are advantages to renting. you don't pay homeowners' insurance. you don't pay property taxes. if your toilet gets clogged, you call the owner. you don't have to do it

yourself. there are some good sides to renting. also, this study shows that many of these renters didn't have $2,000 for emergencies. if you can't get 20% down, if you can't save that, it doesn't make sense to buy. >> so overall, the buying home is the big american dream. but would you say that people shouldn't feel bad about renting, correct? >> absolutely. a lot of this is psychological. owning a home, that's a big part of what it is to be american. but one thing i wanted to point out was over the last three decades, the average annualized return on a home, appreciation of a home, is 3.6%. if you had instead rented and taken the money you saved and put it in the s&p 500, 11.1% every year. so it's not always financially the best thing to do to own a home. >> right.

got your point. i talk to myself all the time. maybe that's why -- >> no, no. next time, i love it. we can just switch. >> i don't know. you're the expert. by the way, catch the expert brenda buttner on "bulls and bears" every saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. eastern here on the fox news channel. thanks, brenda. that's going to do it for us. stick around.
