foxnews.com. that's it. thanks to my panel and for all of you watching. be sure to join us as we count down to the mid term elections. ebola in america now sparking a war of words. new jersey governor chris christie defending his state's new guidelines to keep residents safe despite criticism from one health care worker who claims authorities treated her like a criminal. welcome to america's news headquarters. new jersey is one of three states rolling out a mandatory 21-day quarantine affecting travelers who had contact with ebola patients in west africa. the first person quarantined under the new rule is a nurse

returning is criticizing the way she was dealt with saying she was treated like a prisoner. brian is outside bellevue with more on this nurse and what she had to say and more on this new development, right brian? >> that's right. nurse casey hikoks has been held inside a tent since friday. she is angry. claiming that the three-week mandatory quarantine is inhuman in a phone interview with cnn. she says she doesn't understand why she's being quarantined since she's been tested negative twice for ebola. she has no symptoms and feels completely fine physically. the nurse had just arrived friday after a month-long trip treating ebola patients in africa. she believes this quarantine will discourage doctors and

nurses from volunteering saying, quote, i am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare they have been fighting ebola in west africa. i'm scared like me they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization. will they be made to feel like criminals and prisoners? now dr. anthony fouchi chit sized the mandatory quarantine. listen. >> the best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in africa and we need those health care workers. we do not want to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncomfortable for them to volunteer to go. >> the back and forth continues. >> it continues indeed, brian. so the nurse was there. what is governor cristy's response. he was in guinea and came back sick later. >> that's right.

that's part of chris christie's point. he says i'm sorry for the inconvenien inconvenience. bottom line, the current cdc policy calling for voluntary quarantine is simply not strong enough. >> i don't believe when you're dealing with something as serious as this that we can count on a voluntary system. this is government's job. if anything else, the government's job is to protect the safety and health of our citizens. we have taken this action. i absolutely have no second thoughts about it. >> the new york times is just reporting that the obama administration is reportedly pressuring cristy and new york governor andrew cuomo to change this policy. >> thank you very much for that upda update. meantime, the ceo of johnson and johnson announcing plans to test an ebola vaccine in humans this january. the goal, to have up to a million doses by spring time.

>> we have been working on this for some time. as the case with science, you have a hypothesis and test it out. there are scientists who made a lot of progress by taking a focused approach with our v vaccines and combining it with another company's vaccine and getting a prime boost approach. >> human testing is underway on amount experimental ebola vaccine. expected before the end of the year. a horrifying attack last week on the streets of new york city surveillance video as you're watching capturing a hatchet wielding man attacking police before two other officers shot and killed him. sparking fears of more lone wolf attacks and peter live in washington with more. >> this week an attack with a gun in canada and attack with a

hatchet in new york having intelligence officials on the lookout for lone wolf terrorists who may already be in this country. >> we worry a lot about isis traveling overseas from syria to the united states but i think one of the greatest fears are those already within the united states who are being radicalized and inspired by the isis propaganda that's out there on the internet. they're waging a campaign of war against the west and the united states. these are there examples. just last week of where they're win. >> a decade ago al qaeda didn't have social media but isis does. and dianne feinstein says facebook and twitter for them are very effective. >> the internet as well as certain specific muslim extremists are really firing up this lone wolf phenomenon and

these attacks and the multi-policety of attacks in 2014 show that their propaganda is having some effect. >> now intelligence officials are trying to figure out what tactics will reach vulnerable people lbefore they align with terror groups. >> you have to combat it a whole number of ways. you have to be on these websites where these individuals are going and getting radicalized and when they talk about violence and committing violence, you have to investigate them and you also have to take on the narrative although that's not something the united states can do by itself. we need the help of allies to be able to fight this narrative. >> also explained he thinks edward snowden's leaks about the classified surveillance programs are making it a lot harder to track potential lone wolves. >> thank you very much. members of a school shooter's

native american reservation in washington state searching for answers about why it happened. police say freshman jaylin fryburg. a happy go lucky kid. authorities are trying to determine if the shooter shot himself by accident or if it was part of a struggle with a teacher. some reports say fryburg was upset over a girl. hawaii's big island facing a tloet threat from a volcano. emergency crews are scrambling to evacuate people from the path of it moving towards homes and major roads. >> we have this encroaching flow of magna which is molten rock some 200 degrees in temperature. bringing a serious mood to

halloween week. surfacing from the bowls of the earth. we are seeing teams going door to door and advising homes on how to evacuate. it's certainly a scenario they could face in the next three to five days. >> even if this initial flow -- this is our house. as the flow widens, there's a good chance that that widening will cover our property. so we are talking about and looking around for places to relocate. >> he seems surprisingly calm. the emergency workers on the frontline marching from the volcano are just preparing others for this impending disaster. but they also as residents of the community, too, are worrying about the risks to their own homes. >> my family and i have lived

here since 1989 and i lived here pretty much my entire life. this is home to me. i have mixed feelings. i definitely don't want to have to leave my home. >> well, this weekend the lava reached the edge of the town threatening the main road and dozens of homes. engineering crews are building ultimate routes. the volcano on the big island has been erupting continuously since 1983 in fact. hawaii governor has issued a plea for a presidential disaster declaration now because he needs to bring in federal help for the local and emergency crews there. >> yeah. seems like they do need help and hopefully they will get it. thank you very much. well just over a week away from this year's crucial mid term elections and one new poll could indicate bad news for one of the parties. plus, a new entry into the history of dumb crooks.

how a couple of suspects accidentally confessed to a crime and landed themselves behind bars. >> 911, state your emergency. >> we should have gotten a lot more, but you know what? my only thing is we got away safe, clean. my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i talked to my doctor and i... i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it was important to me that chantix was a non-nicotine pill.

the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i am very proud. i love myself as a nonsmoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

frybe . a trio of suspected thieves in new mexico foiled by an ill timed pocket dial. the accidental 911 call went on for 45 minutes and the dispatchers recordsed the whole thing. the suspects can be heard giving details about where the robbery occurred and what was taken. >> 911, state your emergency. >> we basically rocked em dude. we picked up this [ bleep ] tv set [ bleep ] and we got out of the house. we went over to the street.

>> nice work. tracking the call and arrested three men. two suspects are behind bars. charges against the third man have reportedly been dropped. good news for republican candidates as we close in on the mid terms. it finds most likely voters would prefer a republican led congress by 52% to 41%. the gop doubling its lead from last week. is a democratic comeback possible? or has november 4 fate already been sealed. let's bring in david. how are you? >> very good. thank you. >> we have got a couple of days. what's the full court press strategy for both parties in the race to dominate congress? >> well, the full court press strategy for the democrats is to make sure that president obama does all his campaigning for

candidates for governor and he is not going to actually, i don't think, be face to face, arm and arm with any of the candidates for tight senate races in the last nine days before the election. and to try and do what democrats are traditionally do better than republicans which is get out there and vote on election day. the republican full court press is to try and portray the country as in a mess as the president not having control of the situation with the islamic state as perhaps potentially running a government that was a little bit too asleep at the switch on ebola and to try and capitalize on what the polls have showed which is that voters -- voter enthusiasm is much higher on the republican side than on the democratic side. >> david, you know, 11-point lead among likely voters predicting vol of congress history mean as guaranteed victory. is this growing gop advance

going to stick or could the dems have a surprise play that could upset those races and give them the lead? >> they don't have to pull a surprise play that's a nationwide surprise play. it's important to state the obvious which is that poll shows a national number but what's really going on here are elections in obviously 435 districts for the house. we know the house is going to stay republican. all we don't know is whether the republicans are going to gain somewhere closer to 5 or closer to a dozen seats. and then all the more importantly, there are still very competitive senate races and, you know, depending on how you count it, nine, ten states. so what's really going on here is that that gap that you're talking about has to be played out in nine or ten different places. >> so then which races would you say are more likely to go into overtime? meaning a runoff?

>> right. so this is the big thing which is i think even the most partisan enthusiastic republican analysts and players and operatives are thinks it's kind of unlikely that the republicans can take control of the senate decisively on election night. because of two states, both in the south where you have to win where the rules are. you have to win a majority of the vote. in georgia, the republican, it looks to be ahead. but not by a decisive enough -- not by that magic 50%. his name is david perdu running for an open seat against michelle nun the democratic. then a second round of voting happening on january 6th. the first day that congress is supposed to be sworn in. before that there is louisiana where mary landru is running.

and again a third party candidate, she's not likely to get over that magic number. and in both runoff election is where president obama, a refer remember dumb on obama and the last two years on the obamacaob administration will come into play. >> thank you, david. a terrifying scenario in the fight against isis reports that the terror group is using chemical weapons on the battle field. what the u.s. is doing to get to the bottom of this. that's coming up next.

pennsylvania state police possibly finding a new lead in the search for eric frein. investigators now reportedly

examining blood found at a chicken coop after a woman spotted the blood in the farm in her backyard. the manhunt for frein now entering its seventh week. he's accused of ambushing two police officers, killing one trooper and seriously injuring the other. a possibly game changer in the battle against isis. the u.s. is investigating claims that the group unleashed chemical weapons against iraqis last month, using chlorine gas bomb, an allegation the pentagon says it's taking very seriously. our middle east and terrorism analyst is joining me now by phone. are you there? >> i am here. thank you for having me today. >> as you know, the u.s. is investigating claims that the islamic state militants used chemical weapons or a chlorine gas bomb. if confirmed, what does that say

about isis' strategy and tactics, and does that mean the u.s. and coalition countries need to escalate their strategy? >> number one is confirm we need to know about the action, in it was limited, if it was ordered, if it was generalized, if these weapons are with all units or not. having said that, this means this is a jihadi organization with no regards to international law. we've seen it before in syria, who used those weapons but did not recognize that. this is the scariest part. we need to know more about how much of that material that do have. >> so chlorine gas bombs are not as deadly as sarin gas. might this be a precursor to using chemical weapons? >> if they use chlorine t means

they would use other elements. it's whatever they have under their hands. where will they get those weapon systems? they could get them most likely from the reserves of the assad army. if anything, my assessment is possibly these elements have been stolen, have been taken from isis control of airports, isis control of military sites inside syria and brought them to iraq. >> so then how does that underscore to youu the timing i terms of response? mostly on the part of the u.s. to get something done in syria a while ago now. >> well, remember, we needed to actually have an action against the assad regime. we did not. we hope the that russians would solve the issue. but it's not about the syrian regime. it's about isis having already gotten those weapons. so this is going to most likely prompt an intelligence activity by our government and our coalition to strike those weapons if we know where they are. >> okay.

hopefully we can hone in on that. let's talk about this "new york times" article chronicling the abuse isis applied to western hostages, including water boarding. what did it say to you about isis? all right. that's fine. we lost walid on the phone there. in the meantime, in northern california, a somber funeral procession for a sheriff deputy, michael davis jr. he was gunned down in the line of duty on friday. davis was approaching a suspect who police believe had killed a second sheriffs deputy earlier in the day. federal authorities say the suspect had been deported to mexico twice, and he had a drug conviction. he and his wife are now in custody. and in ukraine, people are voting in parliamentary elections. this coming amid the ongoing conflict in the east between government troops and those pro-russian separatists. heavily armed soldiers are guarding polling places.

analysts say pro-western candidates backed by ukraine's president are likely to win. however, the election could also fuel new tensions with russia. so that is going to do it for me. so glad you could join me on this football sunday. stick around. if you're eating snacks, you're going to want to see what carol alt has to say. she normally talks about healthy stuff, which is very good. in the meantime, stay with us here on fox news. for all the latest headlines yor yor, you know where to go, foxnews.com. enjoy the rest of your day.
