that's the ed show. >> good evening. and thanks to you for tuning in. breaking news on ebola in america. the second nurse diagnosed with ebola is now on a plane at the dallas airport. she will soon head to the emory university hospital in atlanta. officials have identified her as amber vincent, the 29-year-old nurse was part of the team that cared for the late thomas eric duncan. now the cdc is contacting 132 passengers who were on a flight with her just two days ago. shoer what we know right now. president obama canceled a fundraising trip and health an unscheduled meeting with health and national security cabinet members. coordinating the government's

response to ebola. saying the u.s. can contain the virus. >> if we do these protocols properly, if we follow the stems that we get the information out, then the likelihood of widespread ebola outbreak in this country are very, very low. i want people to understand the dangers of you contracting ebola, the dangers of a serious outbreak are extraordinarily low. but we are taking this very seriously at the highest levels of government. >> this afternoon, crews began the process of disinfecting the inside of vinson's apartment. they cleaned the outside this morning. in cleveland, crews isolated and cleaned the commercial airline ervinson flew on. she was on a flight from dallas to cleveland on october 10th. to plan a wedding and visit

family. and then flew back to dallas two days ago. one day before being diagnosed with ebola. though she did have a temperature of 99.5, the cdc director said she should not have been on either of those flights. >> because at that point, she was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to ebola, she should not have traveled on a commercial airline. should not have traveled, should not have been allowed to travel by plane or any public transport by virtue of the fact that she was in an exposed group. >> but she did travel. and health officials are now seeking 132 people on board. the questions now, was anyone on those flights exposed to ebola?

and do officials now have this under control? gabe gutierrez is outside the hospital in atlanta, and craig melvin outside the hospital in dallas. we start in atlanta. gabe, the patient is on the way to atlanta. how are they preparing? >> reporter: hey there. we're expecting that patient in a little over two hours here at emory university hospital. about a two-hour flight from dallas love field to the atlanta area. the patient is, we're told, expected to arrive at the airport, different than the previous patients who have come to emory hospital. this airport is about 15 minutes or so from the hospital. the patient will then be transported here to emory university hospital. emory, as you know, has been very busy over the last couple months and they have a lot of experience in this. they're one of four isolation units. the one here at emory is one of four throughout the country. and they've treated three ebola

patients so far. however, all of them had been flown from west africa so this would be the first patient infected here in the u.s. that would come to emory university hospital. those patients were dr. kent brantly, nancy writebol and an unidentified third patient who continues to recover. so they're very used to dealing with this. they have been very well renounl for dealing with this ebola patients. we're expecting this patient who is now coming from dallas to arrive here sometime after 8:00. >> thank you for that. now let's turn to nbc, they are blaming the cdc for not telling the hospital that his workers shouldn't travel. what are you hearing about this and who is to blame for this nurse getting on a plane? >> reporter: he really went after them. and he would be the equivalent of a county executive here in

dallas. in addition to that, in addition to blaming the cdc for not specifically instructing the hospital to forbid its employees from getting on commercial travel, he also said today in an interview that right now, he is working with some of their legal team to try and establish an order that would prohibit people who are being monitored from using public transportation, from getting on planes and also from going to certain public spaces, including football stadiums. something he is working right now. as you might imagine, here in dallas, folks are scared. folks are nervous. we heard from the head of the cdc who said he would not be surprised if there were additional cases here. the nurses union has come out in the past few days. they've blasted this hospital. they've blasted the hospital for not being prepared. for not putting these nurses in the best position, for not having a protocol in place

before thomas duncan arrived. that's the latest from dallas but it will be very interesting to see the next few days, whether we see another case, another two cases, another three cases here in dallas. >> craig melvin in dallas. thank you. i want to bring in the public health professor at u.t. dallas and staff writer for the dallas morning news, and the assistant professor at lsu health sciences central and tulane university medical central thaufl both for joining me. >> thank you. >> how concerned should we be about 132 passengers on this plane? >> well, thankfully this nurse did not have symptoms when she was on the plane with those 132 people. so they're very low risk of contracting ebola. of course, the cdc and the airline is with those passengers.

they'll be following up with them and interviewing them and providing them with all the information they need. it is so important that we don't point the finger at nurses. we don't want to ascribe blame. and i can tell you as a doctor, nurses are some of the most hard working, underappreciated people in hospitals. they are simply trying to do their job. we have to make sure they stay safe as they do their job. >> that is the thing to make sure they stay safe. medical records show that the second patient here, amber vinson, was actively engaged in caring for duncan in the days before he died. dealt with bodily fluids, drew blood, inserted the catheters. there seemed to be a lot of activity between duncan and her. does this imply you have to be in close contact with someone who has the virus in order to contract it? >> well, it does imply that. and we know that for a fact. and we're talking about the

passengers on that plane. i have to say we have to talk about fever. a lot of people think that fever is anything over 98.6. we have to know that it is actually anything over 100.4 which is the world health organization. she did not have that fever, she didn't have a fever when she was on the plane. so we have to think about fever like being pregnant. either you have a fever our don't. it is not a low grade fever or not. you're pregnant or you're not. so she did not have a fever. the issue is, what if she was on that plane, didn't have a fever but got a fever while she was on the plane and threw up on the person next to her? that is where we have dodged a bullet. that didn't happen. that's why we can no longer rely on self-policing so that we won't have a spread of this ebola. we have to do this. cdc has to do a better job of policing so people don't get on commercial airlines. >> would you say the 132 people on that plane are safe since we did not have the scenario that

you say that we kind of ducked that. >> yes. i think they are safe. you have to remember, we've had about 27 ebola outbreaks in the world in the last 20 years. think about that. and it has been in countries that have no infrastructure to handle it at all. have they had huge outbreaks like this? no. we have the best health care system in the world. so there will be other cases of ebola. make no mistake. in this country. because you have to remember, when duncan came back to that hospital for the second time, nobody knew he had ebola. nobody did. >> let me play to both of you what the president said a few moments ago. >> i want to use myself as an example so people have a sense of the science here. i shook hands with, hugged, and kissed not the doctors but a couple of the nurses at emory because of the valiant work that they did in treating one of the

patients. they followed the protocols, they knew what they were doing, and i felt perfectly safe doing so. >> dr. seema, the president said he is shaking hands, hugged and kissed those that had worked and dealt with the patient, the ebola patient. and that he's using himself as an example. what is your reaction? >> i think it is important that we do have public displays like that that reassure people that ebola is not as easily transmitted as some people are out. you have to have that direct contact with infected bodily fluids. and a person with ebola has to have symptoms in order to be contagious. this is what science tells us. this is what we know. we are much more likely to see an outbreak of panic or fear in dallas or the u.s. as we are an outbreak of ebola. we have to keep that in perspective. >> now, they did not ban her

movement, the cdc director said today, health care workers exposed to thomas eric duncan are only allowed to engage in, quote, controlled movement. listen. >> and sure that no other individual who is being monitored for exposure undergoes travel in any way other than controlled movement. >> did they wait too long? why did they wait until now to have this restriction? >> you know, if ebola spreads throughout this country, it will not be because of the veer lens of the lack of communication between the federal agencies, the state agencies and the doctors and nurses on the ground that are taking care of the patients. this is not something that, it

is airborne. this is something, if it does spread, it will be caused because people are not doing what they're supposed to do in a very systematic manner. we have to work together and there's no way we can get through this without working together. bad decisions come when people have irrational fears and hasty decisions come when people have irrational fears. we have to make sure that we allay those fears right now. >> all right. thank you both for your time tonight. coming up, how is ebola spreading? we've brought a medical suit into the studio to show you how these nurses could have contracted the virus, and how to stop it. also, the real reason the republicans are desperate to make this election all about president obama. but democrats have a new plan to save the senate. plus, did a police officer

pepper spray a student just for filming him? a big show tonight. stay with us. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 70,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire. so you can make owning a business even more rewarding. ink from chase. so you can.

. we asked what is your biggest concern? we had some great questions. chris tweeted, nurses on the front lines of this and every communicable disease. are they eequipment and prepared? trust me tweeted, why isn't there a travel ban on ebola countries? the cdc imposed a travel ban on high risk people in the u.s. sell ma posted, are we the public safe from getting ebola?

all good questions. coming up, we have a question to show us how ebola might spread and answer your questions. but please, keep the conversation going on facebook and tweet us. when you've only have one hand, you're not doing anything as fast as you used to. do you need help? what is that? swiffer dusters. i can extend it so i don't have to get on the step stool. it's like a dirt magnet just like my kids. i think swiffer definitely gave me some of that time back. how can i help you? oh, you're real? you know i'm real! at discover, we're always here to talk. good, 'cause i don't have time for machines. some companies just don't appreciate the power of conversation! you know, i like you! i like you too! at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card and talk to a real person. introducing

a pm pain reliever that dares to work all the way until the am. new aleve pm the only one with a sleep aid. plus the 12 hour strength of aleve. with this second case of ebola, fears are growing in america. how can two nurses catch ebola? how were they not protected from it? and how does it spread? today the associated press reports nina pham, the first nurse to get ebola, noted in

medical records she wore protective gear while treating duncan. but there is no indication in the records of a first encounter with duncan. that she donned any protective gear. in fact, workers at the hospital didn't wear hazmat suits for two days while treating duncan. and a spokeswoman at ft. national nurses united spoke with other nurses at the hospital and revealed, nurses were forced to use medical tape to secure openings in their flimsy garments and word that their necks and heads were exposed as they cared for duncan. the centers for disease control said when working with ebola patients, you are to wear gloves, a fluid resistant gown, goggles and a face mask. and for additional protection, an extra set of gloves,

disposable shoe covers and leg coverings. are these protective measures enough? and exactly how does it spread? joining me for a demonstration is dr. natalie, a clinical professor in the department of medicine at nyu langon medical center. thank you for being here tonight. >> thank you for having me. >> so explain to us what you're wearing. >> while currently wearing is the latest recommendation from the cdc. that is booties on my shoes, an impermable gown, which means blood and other bodily fluids cannot get through this to touch my own clothing or my skin. the next recommendation is to wear a face mask to prevent not an aerosolized virus getting into my mouth but just to protect my own skin and my own mouth from getting any of an infect patient's fluid splashing

into my mouth. >> it covers my mouth and my nose. the next step is this face shield which is elaborate. it looks like a biking helmet. you tighten it from the back. and here i'm actually protecting any fluid, any blood, any diarrhea or vomit from getting into my face area. what the concern has been, what we're talking about is the neck is exposed here. the current recommendations again are not to have anything specific on the neck. >> the suit looks flimsier than the hazmat suits. >> it does look flimsy. it does look flimsy. i will tell you that it works. this is what we wear in the o.r. we're putting on gloves. i'm starting to put them on. i'm putting on two pairs. that's the current recommendation. we usually wear two pafrs gloves to prevent needle sticks. one pair would be sufficient for bodily fluid but we're doing two. >> because of the needles. >> because of needle sticks.

and i'm going to make sure while i'm putting these on that i'm going to cover my wrists as closely as possible. we heard some of the nurses were having difficulties with their wrists being exposed. you can certainly pull this up over the gown. >> how much area is being exposed to contamination? >> well, right now, if you look at me. if i were standing over a patient and the patient vomited, could i certainly get exposure right here in this neck area. the rest of me should be protected. and the main issue is that people we don't think are getting exposed while they're treating the patients. the next step, as i'm taking everything off is really where the exposure is most likely to happen. >> the first recommendation, the cdc has two different ways to take it off. i personally prefer this one. this is to take the gown and the gloves off simultaneously in the beginning. so you grab on to the tags on

both side and pull. it is made of paper so it comes off quite easily. pull it down over your arms. now your skin is exposed so turn it inside out and grab the gloves from underneath. hopefully not touching your own skin. >> this is where i can see it becomes problematic. there could be issues here. >> you turn the gloves inside out. you take your hand out this way. you're reaching under with your hand. you don't want to touch the inside of the glove. you're turning the glove inside out and pulling this way. you're putting it on the floor. >> but you have, there is some levels of problems that could occur. >> if the gloves don't fit or you do that. you can see at any point, could you inad vertently touch your own skin with your fingers. the next point, and this is where the cdc will make a recommendation.

between each step, you wash your hands now. between each step they will recommend washing hands. you want to take the masks off behind. don't touch it from the front. now your hands are vulnerable. take the mask off from the back. drop it down. you take this off from the back and you drop it down. >> so you drop everything down in the same pile. >> everything in the same pile. and each room will have a contained waste disposal area where they'll to have incinerate and have a whole protocol for getting rid of all that. >> but you still have any exposure while you're taking it off. >> we'll say over and over again. in all likelihood most of the transmission is happening when health care work here's are improperly trained are taking off their protective wear. >> what can they do in. >> be trained. when we learn to put on it, when you go into the o.r. so you don't infect patients, that's a process. you don't learn it in 15

minutes. there are new efforts, i think, going to work. and that is to send teams out on the ground within a few hours and any place in the country that has a new case and make sure that these personnel who have dealt with this before are the ones who are training the health care workers at the hospital and observing them most importantly, taking it on and off multiple times so they can see where any gaps in their knowledge is and intervene before this hams again. >> thank you so much. this is great information. dr. natalie, thank you so much for your time this evening. a very informative segment. thank you. coming up, good news for democrats fighting to save the senate. yes, it is in play! and it is winnable. and speaker boehner, we're about to introduce you to speaker boehner. she's still the one for you. and cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved

i've got a news flash for the gop in this mid-term election. it's not over yet. after months of republicans that 2014 would be a wave election, it's clear that's not going to happen and democrats are in a fight to save the senate. republicans on capitol hill like to point at president obama's approval rating. 42%. but congress is doing way worse. only 12% of americans approve the job congress is doing. that's an all time low. so yes, the president's numbers are down. but the gop's are even lower. 43% of americans viewed the president positively. 37% have a favorable view of the democrats. but just 27% of americans have a positive view of the gop. and democrats are seeing opportunities in some key races. like in georgia, where democrat

michelle nunn is leading a republican opponent david purdue for the first time. democrats are getting ready to pour another million dollars into that state and purdue's big gaffe on the business record has proven to be a big opening. >> even purdue, the form he ceo of dollar general acknowledged he spent most of his career moving u.s. jobs overseas. the attorney asked, can you describe your experience with outsourcing? he responds, yeah, i spent most of my career doing that. >> when asked by reporters how defends the outsourcing, he doubled down. >> defend it? i'm proud of it. >> a candidate who seems more like a cold hearted ceo than a regular guy. he could ask president romney how well that campaign strategy turned out. the race in georgia isn't over. and neither is the fight for the

senate. joining me now, jonathan capehart and ryan grimm. thank you both for being here. >> jonathan, could democrats actually keep the senate by winning in a deep red state like georgia? >> if they're going to keep the senate, they will have to win deep red states like georgia. hole on to north carolina. hold on to arkansas. so yes, it is possible. i mean, it is not over until election night. and you know, a lot of the forecasting websites say that it is likely that the republicans will take the senate. but i'm not so sure. if someone were to ask me, if were you to ask me if i thought the democrats would hole on to the senate, right here right now, i would say yes. barely. >> let me tell you the strategy. republicans want to make all these senate races about

president obama. if you need any proof, just check out tom cotton in yesterday's arkansas debate. watch this, ryan. >> it is because mark pryor is a loyal rubber stamp for barack obama's policies. barack obama imposed it on the states and then they hijacked it. mark pryor and barack obama. >> and that's just a small sample. >> right. >> would this strategy work? >> well, you have some democratic politicians who are nervous that it will work. if you look at grimes in kentucky, she is out there ridiculously, even willing to admit that she voted for president obama in 2012 or 2008. so there is some fear that there are some voters who would respond negatively to association with obama. like you were saying, the democratic base is what will save the senate for democrats if

it is going to be saved. and the democratic base is still very much behind president obama. so to use the strategy that you're talking about, to get democrats out to vote, then you have to bring up president obama. you have to get people excited. that's how you win states like georgia and north carolina. >> talking about the bargs it means the election will come down to turnout. one thing that caught my eye is early voting in georgia started on monday. and 23% who came out and cast their ballots didn't vote in 2010. that was the gop's big year. 20% of people who cast accepted ballots. is this a good sign for the democrats? >> well, look. 23% who have cast ballots didn't do so in 2010. look, the president needs to get

as much of his base out as possible. the democrats need to get their base out as much as possible. whether through early voting, through sunday voting where it still exists. one of the things that makes people think that the republicans are absolutely going to take the senate and one of the reasons why you had the president on the steve harvey morning show this morning doing a phoner at 9:00 a.m., pleading with steve harvey's listeners to get out there and vote and to tell other people to vote. that's because traditionally, in off-year elections, nonpresidential election years, african-americans, latinos, young people, women, the obama coalition stays home. so if there is any hope for the democrats to hold on to the senate, it is through african-americans in particular, coming out to vote because their voting populations in georgia, north carolina, arkansas, kentucky, is very high and could make the difference.

we saw it in an offyear election in virginia. when people figured that african-americans wouldn't come out to vote in the same amount and they did. that's why governor mcauliffe is governor now. >> that nbc poll that i was referring to finds that 41% agree with most of president obama's proposals. obviously he would like that to be higher. but just 33% agree with most of the gop's agenda. so people would like the policies, even better than the policies of the gop which is why they're not running on policies. no surprise when you consider what they stand for. listen to what the senate candidates have said in their recent debates. >> obamacare has been a disaster for arkansas, for you our entire country. >> i don't know the science behind climate change. i can't say one way or another

what is the direct impact from whether it is manmade or not. >> there are times when a minimum wage increase would be appropriate. but not in a jobless recovery. >> is the senator for or against increasing the minimum wage? when he went to california he was against it. two weeks ago he was for it. so you are against people in kentucky actually earn a living wage. >> repeal the health care law. deny the science behind climate change. fight against the minimum wage hike. how could democrats use these issues to motivate voters? >> even in this political climate where republicans feel like they have all of these advantages, if you poll all registered voters, you find that democrats still have a small but significant advantage. for the reasons that you talked about. they agree with democrats on those particular issues. the key thing to remember is that even more so than 2010,

election day is no longer just on tuesday. in a lot of states as you said, they're already voting. people can go out and vote today. they can vote by mail. they can cast it. and that allows for these networks of people to organize and to tell their friends and to tell their family members, tell the people they know on facebook, here's how you can vote. that changes the dynamic and democrats are hoping that is a counter balance to money that is bombing the airwaves. >> the election is a little under three weeks away. democrats better show up and show out. this is a decisive election. jonathan capehart, ryan grim, thank you both for your time tonight. still ahead, speaker boehner tries to hit democrats over lawsuits. and lands right in tonight's gotcha. also, the bizarre defense of the

we're back now with conversation nation. joining us tonight, abby huntsman, jimmy williams and tara. thank you for being here. >> we start with some breaking news from arkansas. just moments ago, the state supreme court struck down the arkansas border i.d. law. today's ruling could have a huge impact on the races in the state where early voting is due to start on monday. in particular, democrat mark pryor and republican tom cotton are locked in a tight senate race, where every vote counts. no word yet on whether the state officials plan to appeal. jimmy, this voter i.d. decision could be a big deal in the senate race, right? >> yes. this race is as tight as a tick. it's bad. pryor seems to be slipping and that's bad for the democrats, especially if they want to hole on to the senate. at the same time, the state supreme court saying this is a

boone for the idea of getting the african-american vote out. millennial votes out, et cetera. that's a big deal. my gut does tell me the state does aapprove this. and eventually the supreme court. my gut also tells me the u.s. supreme court doesn't step in this close to the elections. we're just too close. >> so tara, this could hold then. and a lot of polls show and the data shows all over the country including arkansas, african-american voters and millennials are the ones impacted by these voter i.d. laws which just got knocked down if it holds in arkansas. >> absolutely. this is a major boost in the arm for mark pryor. he has lost some ground and you don't want to lose ground this close to election day. what democrats are focussing on is the ground game stoex ground game is only strengthened when there are more people to participate in the ground game. so we need them, we need

everybody that could possibly vote to be able to vote. >> is this a strategy by republicans? this voter i.d.? >> i was going to say on that point, just because they can vote doesn't mean they're all going to get out to vote. so this is really about voter turnout at the end of the day. oitss a national scale, we're seeing this argued throughout the country. this is about republicans being concerned that minorities will get out and vote for the opposite party. and i think instead of being afraid and fighting this, they have to say how question find a message that appeals to minority voters, to young people, ultimately they'll be able to vote. so we have to find a way to attract those voters. >> i'll give you a card to a guy. as we head down the stretch to the mid terms, candidates are getting very creative with their attack ads. one new mexico candidate put out this breaking bad theme day.

>> breaking bad made this car wash famous on tv. the true story about new mexico politics is much cleaner. >> ronald aragon was sued four time by his own clients and he failed to pay over a quarter million dollars in taxes. tim keller for auditor. the clean choice. >> this come on the heels of the controversy sparked by wenty davis' ad in texas that drew attention to opponents' disability. >> a tree fell on greg abbott. he sued and got millions. since then he spent his career working against other victims. abbott argued a woman whose leg was amputated was not disabled because she had an artificial limb. >> and republican candidate for governor in california leo cash curry released this new ad that shows a young boy drowning in a pool.

>> i'm running for governor because every kid in every neighborhood deserves a good education and a chance for a better life. >> abby, outside the box ads, are they creative for offensive. >> is that there are some strange ads. the one in new mexico, i'm a huge bad fan. that is creative in a lot of ways but you have to hope the voters there watch the show. all they see a car wash and what that has to do with anything. you're sort of taking a risk there. it is not a personal attack. >> breaking bad may get more votes out of this than he does. >> absolutely. but davis is a whole different story. it is offensive on a lot of levels. if this were reversed. if wendy davis was a republican,

i think this was all we would be talking about all day long. i think she is a woman and we respond, unfortunately different today when it comes to women. we look at that and we think that's a mean woman putting that ad out. if it were two men we would be talking about it a bit differently. the pool drowning one, that doesn't make a lot of sense. i think that's offensive. to see a kid drowning. >> the boy drowning. i mean -- >> i would call that over the top. it is a bit much. i'm all for creative ads, innovative ads, i think breaking because, even if you did that watch the show, you've heard of it. very creative. got point across. the drowning kid, i just think that's not where you want to be when you're doing this kind of ad. >> i have a gift wrapped one for you next. we're going home for you. south carolina.

a republican governor defending the fact state still plays the the confederate flag over the dome of the state house. while a lot of people have a problem with it, and it is symbolic association with slavery, governor haley doesn't see what the big deal is. she defended the practice during last night's gubernatorial debate. >> what i can tell you is over the last three and a half years, i spend a lot of my days on the phones with ceos. i can tell you i have not found one conversation with a ceo about the confederate flag. we kind of fix all that when you elected the first indian american female governor. when you appointed the first african-american senator. that sent a huge message. >> ceos have no problem? >> i hope you're not expecting me to defend her. look, she had a conversation

with all the ceos. this is a republican mindset. i've talk to binders of ceos and not one said he had a problem with discrimination. >> you should look at the diversity. look at the workers. have a conversation with the workers. south carolina has a 30% black population. unemployment is relatively normal. yahoo! finance just named south carolina one of the top went worst quality of life states to live in. there is a problem. a mindset, i talked to ceos. i'll be dad gummed if i'll have a conversation with the workers, in south carolina, a 26% increase in food stamp recipients. not because more people don't have jobs but because the wages are low. why? the ceos are paying them less. >> at least she didn't have an allison grimes moment. i don't agree with her and i don't know that she agrees with it. the fact is these ceos are

giving her money for the campaign. >> tara? >> well, first of all is fact that you're consulting ceos on topics that pertain, you should be consulting the voters. this isn't be about what the control ofs want. if i was a democrat, would have hammered her. >> let me give you a little free advice. we know that a lot of republican governors only talk to ceos but tell anybody! great panel. thank you for your time tonight. still ahead, the ferguson effect and a new video of alleged police misconduct. an un that partners businesses with universities across the state. for better access to talent, cutting edge research, and state of the art facilities. and you pay no taxes for ten years. from biotech in brooklyn, to next gen energy in binghamton,
