not the world's next aids. >> good morning, i am jose diaz-balart. that was thomas frieden sounding the alarm this morning. that's our first focus. new questions surrounding the first ebola case in the u.s., a little more than 24 hours after the death of thomas duncan. a sheriff deputy remains in the hospital after displaying ebola like symptoms following a visit to duncan's apartment. hospital officials say he is being monitored out of abundance of caution while being tested. he did not have direct contact with duncan. meantime, his body set to be creamated, his remains returned to the family. questions and criticism swirl around care of the 42-year-old liberian man. specifically, whether his life could have been extended or saved if a dallas hospital where he first sought help hadn't turned him away the first time. meanwhile, five major u.s. airports begin to screen

travelers from west africa for the virus. the stepped up measures begin this weekend. let's go live to dallas and sarah. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jose. we are learning more about this deputy who is being treated inside. we are told he is one that served a quarantine order at the apartment where duncan was staying. duncan was not there, authorities don't believe he had direct contact with him. however, they say he went to an urgent care clinic yesterday and was exhibiting enough signs of the illness that the decision was made to transport him here to the hospital and treat him out of abundance of caution. now, it is important to note that some of the symptoms in the beginning of ebola, things like fever and vomiting are consistent with a number of other illnesses, malaria, dengue fever and the flu. keeping a close eye on him now. he was not one of 48 known to have some type of contact with

duncan, including ten that had direct contact. they're still being monitored closely, includes twice daily temperature checks to look for fever. one of the first possible signs of ebola. but as i said, also a sign of other illnesses right now. for this deputy, it takes 48 hours for tests to come back for ebola. right now, just caution, waiting, keeping an eye on him and the other 48 people. a memorial service was held yesterday for duncan, a prayer service. the fiance he had come to america to marry not able to attend, they watched by video conference to give them some peace and comfort in the hour of their grief. >> and the other health concern, handling the body of mr. duncan. what are health officials saying about that. >> there are district protocols from the cdc as to handling of someone's remains who died from ebola, that includes no embalming, anyone that handles

the body must wear personal protective equipment and you can't do traditional burial. you have to use a sealed cough in or cremation. they opted for cremation. >> sarah, thank you for that live report. i want to bring in new york university rheumatologist dr. natalie czar. duncan's girlfriend and others are raising flags asking would he have a better chance of surviving had he been treated and not sent home at first? >> we can't completely speculate would he have survived had he been treated earlier. knowing in the majority of cases we are not giving antivirals to masses being infected, one of the earliest interventions to do to save people's lives is to do that supportive care early, replace election troe lights

lost to support renal function. the earlier the intervention, the better chance for survival. i would never go so far to say this patient would have absolutely survived had he been admitted when he first presented to the hospital. >> american dr. ken brantly who was successfully treated for ebola reportedly told the dallas hospital he was willing to donate if his blood type was a match, but never heard back from the hospital. and assumed his blood type wasn't a match. how might this play a role fighting ebola? >> we know that the case in nebraska is going to be receiving the same antiviral therapy that mr. duncan got. he was beginning transfusions from a patient who survived the ebola illness, and therefore has made antibodies to it. we certainly think that giving an infusion of somebody else's blood who has the antibodies could help in the recovery effort of that particular person, but you know, i need to point out again that we don't

have human trials to this nature. this is all experimental. but certainly we would try to do everything we can to save a life of a person who was infected, and those two interventions could make a difference, one being an antiviral therapy and one being blood transfusion from a person who survived. >> and so let's talk about these antiviral transfusions. we don't know if they played a part in saving the people that were safe, right? we don't even know that. >> i know, in mr. duncan's case he received the experimental drug, it is used in trials, phase three trials in two vierlt infections. it is not specific to ebola at all. it is simply an antiviral. there was some in the test tube, there was evidence it could be effective against ebola, so it was completely experimental. another drug given to a few

patients, it is different. it contains viral protein specific to ebola, so it is a mortar getted therapy. and the two original patients from liberia also got one with specific antibodies to ebola. what i like is that we are able to get fast track and expanded access for potential therapies, but certainly as we see, and i should point out, too, there are other examples of instituting antiviral therapy too late, for example. with influenza, like to treat in 48 hours, shingles, before lesions crust over. there's opportunity to give them antivirals where it could make a difference. >> stay with me, doctor. i want to bring in another doctor currently in liberia. dr. timothy flanagan with brown university. he is volunteering to train health care workers to function

safely in the ebola epidemic. thank you for being with me. you're sharing pictures on your website of your time in liberia. talk about what you're seeing there, describe the situation. >> well, i'm not working directly in ebola treatment units, but i'm working with some really extraordinary clinics that are staying open in the middle of the epidemic. at sister barbara ann and agnes clinics, working with health care workers to ensure they had adequate equipment in order for them to stay safe. and they're anxious like american health care workers. but they're doing an extraordinary job taking care of the patients in their community. >> ebola has done more -- it is a helpful thing you're doing. ebola killed more than 3800 in west africa. the virus infected more than 8,000 others. what resources are needed to

fight this fight there. >> you know, liberia, we all know it is quite poor. we have to realize it went through 13 years of civil war. the two clinics i was at today were both named after two killed in the civil war in the early '90s. so the country is still recovering. the infrastructure, the health care system is quite exceptionally weak. when ebola broke out, no one realized this viral hemorrhagic fever was here. at this point, i can say resources now are coming in. >> they are. listen, dr. flanagan, thank you so much for being with us directly from liberia. there's some delay in communication, but we are where we are in this. i really appreciate your time. natalie azar, also thank you for

being with me. important conversation we are having. thanks. now to a developing story at home. the white house is dealing with another headache surrounding the secret service. new report from "the washington post" today says the 2012 prostitution scandal in colombia went to the house, linking a per diem staffer to the controversy. kristin welker joins us from the white house. >> good morning to you. >> the white house is pushing back hard on this new report. >> they are. there are new details from "the washington post" about the 2012 prostitution scandal in colombia that you mentioned. that led to ousting of ten secret service agents and officers. here's what the post is reporting. according to the post, citing documents and interviews, senior white house aides were given information at the time, suggesting that a prostitute was an overnight guest in the hotel room of jonathan dock, that was then a 25-year-old white house volunteer who was paid per diem.

the white house reports they were alerted, but that investigation was never thoroughly investigated. at the time, jay carney strongly denied involvement. i reached out by phone, he wouldn't comment. his attorney strongly denies the allegations to "the washington post," calling them, quote, utterly and completely false. overnight, a white house spokesman said in a statement as was reported more than two years ago, the white house conducted internal review that did not identify any inappropriate behavior on part of the white house advance team. the report suggests there was attempt to cover up the fact, citing a lead homeland security investigation that told staffers we were directed at the time to delay report of the investigation until after the 2012 election. here is where that gets complicated. the white house points out a bipartisan senate subcommittee later questioned that account, saying there was no corroboration. prostitution scandal as you

recall was really the first in what became a series of high profile mishaps. julia pierson was brought in as director to overhaul the agency after the colombia incident. she resigned after the fence jumper made it deep inside the white house. one more point. the post reports that staffers that raised questions about a white house role were put on administrative leave as punishment, but administration officials say that's not the reason they were put on leave. as that investigation continues, joe clancy takes over reigns as interim director at secret service. it is his fourth day in his new position. >> this is clearly sounds like a whole lot different than just prostitution in colombia, where if you're an adult, it is legal. >> that's right. >> kristin welker, thanks so much. appreciate it. coming up, new developments in the war against isis, calls coming in at this moment after the fbi asked for help identifying this man, perhaps of american or canadian descent.

trying to fight for kobani, and new information about isis inspired attacks in canada. kobani, a city under siege. isis controls more than a third of the town on the border with

turkey. on morning joe, former homeland security secretary michael chernoff is raising the stakes, and says if kobani falls, the u.s. should re-examine its strategy. >> now that we said we are going to degrade and destroy them, we better do it. as i watch kobani. if they take kobani and we haven't really put an effort in, we may have to start to look again at whether some ground elements have to go into the theater. >> back in this country, the fbi says it is sorting through dozens of responses to its request for help in identifying this man, seen in an isis propaganda video, he is believed to be from the u.s. or canada. the fbi has used voice recognition software to try to uncover his identity. and our neighbor to the north is beefing up security after intelligence officials picked up chatter discussing potential isis inspired knife and gun attacks against the u.s. and canadian targets inside canada. bring in former editor for the

daily beast, back from turkey, joins us from paris, and sophia jones, middle east correspondent for the post. the military launched some 23 air strikes against isis targets near kobani, more than a third of that city is under isis control. what's the significance if this city kwauls to isis. does the former homeland security security officer have a point saying the u.s. has to reconsider if it falls? >> well, there's a game being played with turkey about who goes in on the ground. the turks have as many as 650,000 troops in their army. and they're sitting on the border, and they're not moving. the game they're playing is that the americans should go in first, the americans should go in on the ground. i don't think that's going to happen. i don't think obama is willing to do that and i don't think american people want to do that. if somebody doesn't do it, it will be hard to hold onto kobani. right now, the american air

strikes are hitting as much as they can. they're rocking and rolling, according to our correspondent on the scene now. but that's not enough, once those isis troops go into the city, you can't level the city. it is house to house fighting. >> and sophia, there's been rioting in the streets of turkey, with some turks calling for the government to take military action against isis. christopher was saying, turkey isn't doing anything yet. could that change? do we think there's a possibility the turkish government can change? >> as of right now, doesn't look like there will be much turkish military intervention. kobani is a simple for kurds. they have taken to the streets and rioted, left at least 21 people dead. they're furious. they say turkey isn't doing anything, in many cases say they're hurting kurds by not letting fighters from turkey

cross into kobani to help. >> yeah. and christopher, so the situation is that turkey, a nato member, has an american air force base about 100 miles from the border with syria is not even letting americans do anything with that military base. what if going to take for turkey to do anything when there's possibly ethnic cleansing to occur miles from its border if this town falls? >> well, it is a very difficult situation, but you've got to understand that the priorities of turkey are about the reverse of the priorities of the united states. the priorities of erdogan, he wants to keep the kurds in line, thirdly wants to do something about isis. it is the reverse for the americans. first priority is isis, last priority is getting rid of assad. what he is saying is you have to make a deal with us about getting rid of assad if you want us to help you with isis.

in the meantime, a lot of people are dying. >> and sophia, can't forget about the growing humanitarian crisis involving syrian refugees, you have been following that. tell us about the desperate situation faced by so many people trying to escape this violence. >> over 180,000 people have crossed into turkey in the past few weeks with kobani under siege. that's in addition to a million syrian refugees already here. it is incredibly desperate. many are homeless, have nowhere to go. on the streets, on the border, civilians from kobani are sitting there with belongings, and don't know what to do next. >> what a tragedy. think about it, friends. more than a million people having to leave their places of birth where they've known no other city many times. and people having to flee from destruction of a city, thinking if this falls, we're dead. what a tragic situation. thank you both for being with me this morning. appreciate your time.

fighting for a plan that on my journey across america, i've learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat...

...'scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. we first started talking about this before the break. five major u.s. airports will begin extra screening for any passengers from west africa that could potentially be infected with ebola. the heightened screening set to begin, following the death of thomas duncan, first person diagnosed with ebola in the united states. at the same time, a texas sheriff deputy is in the hospital after he went in the apartment where duncan had been staying, later began displaying ebola like symptoms. luke russert is live at dulles

international airport outside washington, d.c. good morning, luke. >> reporter: good morning. >> where will this enhanced screening be taking place, and what will it entail? >> reporter: well, jose, it starts at jfk airport on saturday, then it will get to dulles airport as well as atlanta, o'hare in newark later next week. basically what it entails is something that's unprecedented in modern u.s. history because of how intrusive it is. if you come from guinea, ciara leon or liberia, you will go to a special screening area, and you will be taking your temperature taken with a hands free thermometer. if you are found to have a fever, you will be brought to the company of a medical officer who will make a decision whether you should be processed to a hospital or go on your way. also you're given a

questionnaire to try to determine whether or not you are exposed to ebola during your time in western africa. and from folks we talked to, jose, they say a lot of reason this is happening is to calm public fears. new york senator schumer was calling for this. in terms of what will stop ebola, the jury is out for a few reasons. number one, you can easily take a fever reducer before you get on a flight if you want to beat the system. remember, the patient in texas originally said he displayed no symptoms, there's speculation he may have mislead people about what he was afflicted with. number two, this is what dr. frieden from the cdc said yesterday, a lot of people traveling from west africa, one in five, have malaria, which causes fever. so there are going to be a lot of false positives regarding this type of screening procedure. and something that we in the media and public health officials have to be cognizant about to not incite public fear. surely these are steps taken to

protect against ebola. it is difficult to do. a lot of symptoms aren't 21 days in advance. just because you have a fever coming from west africa doesn't mean you have ebola, you could have malaria or just be sick with flu season, jose. >> interesting. so if you have a fever, coming from west africa, this would filter you out, but mr. duncan wouldn't have been filtered out because he didn't have a fever, he didn't get the symptoms until after arriving in the united states. some members of congress, luke, that you cover on a daily basis are calling for additional steps, maybe prohibiting flights from west africa. >> and frieden from the cdc says that would disrupt the flow of medical supplies in and out. interestingly enough to talk to passengers here at dulles airport, that seems to be what most are in favor of. a quarantine and block. the disease takes 21 days often to appear, that is the case,

they're trying to protect and get contact information from passengers, say if you display these symptoms, go to a hospital, here is what to say. but this is not fail proof, it is meant to try and improve a sense of calm amongst public. we will see how effective it is. one thing is for certain. it is one of the more intrusive things we have seen by the u.s. government. >> luke russert, thank you so much. good to see you, my friend. turning to the mid terms and the white house again defending its decision to delay any immigration action. here is white house press secretary josh earnest saying no, it is not about mid term politics. >> this is less an issue about trying to dictate or influence the outcome of the elections and more about making sure that the immigration issue is not a casualty of the post election political analysis. >> in kansas last night where the senate race is tightening,

according to new numbers. the immigration issue is front and center. >> i have said from the beginning that i am not a supporter of amnesty. but it also has to be practical. we are not going to find and send home 11 and a half million people, nor would it be advisable. >> my opponent says he is not for amnesty. in the last debate in hutchinson, kansas, he said he was for amnesty. that's not shooting straight, that's not coming clean. >> so interesting to hear so many politicians talk about amnesty when amnesty is never discussed on any immigration reform talk in the senate or by the president. let's break it down with lauren fox, political reporter and "the washington post" congressional reporter. thank you so much. nbc poll had roberts down to independent orman. new poll has him up by one. how does this immigration conversation play with kansas,

say with the latino population that could make or break the election if you look at the numbers getting so close. >> small latino population in kansas looks like anything is influencing this race. orman is up and down. it remains one of the most closely watched races. orman said he would have voted comfortable the bipartisan immigration bill is notable. he did say that. that's where roberts is getting at the amnesty conversation. as you pointed out correctly, amnesty is never discussed in that senate bill or by the white house. he seems to be willing to take definitive stands on the issues when it is likely many voters might be skeptical of that. >> and big political stars, senator ted cruz, how does he play with latino swing voters and kansas electorate? >> a reminder, senator ted cruz didn't vote for the senate bill. he will be out there cementing

support from the tea party faction of the party. it might be fluctuating. might be some people tired of him being in washington. there's a sense that washington is broken in kansas. i think what ted cruz does, he fires up the base, reminds voters if you send pat roberts back to washington, they'll have control of the senate and the senate might start working again, according to ted cruz. >> and the white house can say all they want their immigration decision would not have influenced mid terms. do you think that's true? >> oh, you know, it is hard to say, jose. they can spin this however they want. bottom line is the president didn't do it. he didn't do it in part because democrats on capitol hill told him they had a chance to potentially upset chances of a few democratic incumbents in states where the president isn't popular. they also say to inject it into the elections a few weeks before people went to the polls would likely upset the ability to do

anything on it at any point. people say if the president takes executive action during lame duck session before end of the year, that likely spoils chances of doing anything with it. may upset the president's chances to do anything with republicans last two years of the presidency. he is damned if he doesn't, damned if he does. the white house stuck with the fact he says he will do something later this year but didn't want to do it before the election. >> and what's kind of problematic for the white house, the fact that the president said i will act by end of the summer if the house doesn't get its act together on the issue of immigration reform. i still can't understand politically or otherwise why they make that announcement that they were going to act by a certain date if they thought maybe they shouldn't. >> well, and then you and i were in the room last week when he said it again, i will do something by end of the year. even if he didn't do it then, he is on the record saying he will do it later this year, and he very well might not for whatever

reason. they just continue to say this with the idea that we have to make it clear that we are at least thinking about doing this. they're trying to keep engagement and interest in elections up among hispanic voters and others concerned about the immigration issue, not only saying he is going to do something, and saying the reason he hasn't is because republicans in congress have been standing in the way, that's why you shouldn't vote for republicans. >> and lauren, some other senate races, georgia, south dakota, don't hear much about that. what's going on there? >> this is an issue of independent candidates coming up, doing well in polls. survey usa poll found larry press letter was doing well, mike brown moving into second place, and unseating the democrat is being in third. i think what we are seeing in that race is tightening. other polls show that race is not as tight as it looks from the survey usa poll.

certainly independent candidates make a difference. kansas is a prime example in the senate elections. >> what races are you keeping a close eye on? >> we have to keep an eye on south dakota. democrats plan to put a million dollars into that campaign to see if mike brown can move up in the polls, keep rick wheel enfrom winning. you have to keep an eye on kansas. look at places like georgia and ones on the bubble, iowa, arkansas, louisiana, alaska. can there be any big movement in colorado or new hampshire. at this point those are essentially the raises in play. we have a month to go. that's an eternity in american politics. might be talking about a different set of races in a few weeks. south dakota on nobody's radar the last few days. suddenly a loophole suggests that. >> thank you for being with me this morning. appreciate your time. good seeing you in d.c. >> congrats on that. take care. >> thank you very much.

am bilingual, some take offense that they speak two languages, say names correctly. i think it is time we say it is not about rubbing it in your face, it is about being respectful. >> and celebrating your identity. you know, we're the only country in the world that promotes monolingualism. you go anywhere else, in europe, they speak two, three, four languages, and it is no big deal, and they have to in order to really navigate, you know, their countries. they know the benefits of being bilingual, tri lingual. i think it is very odd that we are a country that promotes mono lingualism. economically, whether to get a better job, we live in a global community to reach out to other cultures and other people and learn from them, really absorb their culture as well, i think it is important you learn other languages. >> the other thing that's

important is as americans, we are being of latino background or any other background, to participate in the political system in this country. so important to register to vote and to vote, and yet seems as though many in our community kind of are a little discouraged this year. >> yeah. and i understand why, you know, there's such a disillusionment in the process of government, not only with failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform, but a number of other issues grid locked in washington, for anybody, not just latinos, as americans, everybody is disappointed in congress. but that's why you have to vote. and especially in mid terms. i keep telling everybody our democracy is not a spectator sport. you have to participate. you can't sit back and complain if you're not going to participate in the process. >> i love you, i will see you. >> see you tomorrow night.

>> see you soon. >> did i just do a latino love fest on the show? i think i did. thank you, eva. please be sure to catch her and everybody at the alma awards. i am presenting the award in honor of the 15th anniversary. watch it here on msnbc tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. eastern, 7:00 p.m. pacific. coming up, i am heading to los angeles, and so is president obama. different planes. he takes off in the next hour to do a little fund-raising at the home of gwenneth paltrow. five things, the clintons no strangers to the hollywood hobnobbing thing. that's when they're running for something. >> great thing about not being president any more is you can say whatever you want. unless your wife might run for something. then you can say whatever you want, as long as you don't make any headlines. for a crowd this big,

go west, this show will do from the west coast. bright and early, 7:00 a.m. specific. i am not alone heading west, the president leaves the white house for los angeles in about 20 minutes. he will have an event on the economy in san deem as, and then a fund-raiser reportedly at the home of gwen et paltrow. his cozy relationship with hollywood raises eyebrows of critics. but he is not the first. today here are five things hollywood hobnobbing. number one, look at that hair. warren beatty, part of what was called malibu mafia, including paul newman, tried to bring glitz to the 1972 candidate, george mcgovern's bid for the white house. number two, bill clinton turned to hollywood in 19d 96, event

with barbara streisand and tom hanks raised $4 million. how can we forget that try at the saxophone with ar sen no hall. see if hillary can hit the right notes in 2016. clint eastwood and the emmy chair. no word if romney or the chair will give it another go in 2016. number four, old blue eyes and jfk, sinatra started spreading the news in hollywood, hosting a huge fund-raiser for the boston native in 1960. number five, the gran father of hollywood and politics, no one can do it better than ronald reagan. he had all of the hollywood he needed on his own. and a note, this morning, lapd has issued a notice, a city that already has a lot of traffic is about to have a whole lot more. has nothing to do with me.

more to do with the president. that wraps up this hour on msnbc. thank you for the privilege of your time. see you tomorrow from los angeles. news nation with tamron hall is next. nergy source. turn ocean waves into power. design cars that capture their emissions. build bridges that fix themselves. get more clean water to everyone. who's going to take the leap? who's going to write the code? who's going to do it? engineers. that's who. that's what i want to do. be an engineer. ♪ [ male announcer ] join the scientists and engineers of exxonmobil in inspiring america's future engineers. energy lives here.

he showed up at the emergency room. his fiance's pastor hopes there's an investigation into how this was all handled. >> she's expressed great concern and frustration that he was brought in and was not accepted right away, based upon his statements and how sick he was, the way that was handled. she thought he should have been admitted right away, should have taken this more seriously. >> nbc sarah dallof joins me. talk about the sheriff deputy. he served the quarantine order at the apartment. wouldn't that include taking the order to the home? help us understand what direct interaction, if any, he had with this family. >> reporter: well, officials don't believe he had direct contact with mr. duncan. he did serve that quarantine apartment at the apartment where duncan had stayed with his fiance and her fami.
