swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial. this is a somewhat of a happy press conference for us. because today we're able to announce that of the original 48 contacts, 43 of those contacts have effectively rolled off. are ebola free as of midnight last night. >> good morning. i'm jose diaz-balart. a sign of relief in texas as a new week in the fight to contain ebola begins. developing this morning 43 of the 48 first contacts with thomas duncan have been cleared

after completing a 21-day quarantine. another will be cleared later today. four more in the days to come. duncan's fiancé said we're so happy it's coming to an end. we're grateful that none of have shown any sign of illness. in the meantime the two nurses that contacted ebola continue to fight the disease. nina pham currently in b curren condition. now at the same time, the cdc will introduce a new hospital guideline that will require full body coverage for anyone treating an ebola patient and monitoring while taking the protective garments on and off. and after news broke on this broadcast on friday that ron klain will be named ebola czar, the fight continues at the pentagon.

medical support team is being developed for a additional ebola cases in the united states. and joining me now from dallas is nbc sara day lot of. good morning. doctor, let me start with you. from a medical perspective, how significant is the clearing of these first 43 contacts? >> i think it's quite significant, actually. on two different levels. i think from a public health and epidemiological level. it's nice we've seen the contact tracing to the conclusion and secondly on a medical note these were casual contacts of mr. duncan not in infected. particularly, you know, the girlfriend and close family members or people who dwelled with the indexed patient who did actually get much closer to the patient. also, were not infected. of course, the two people in this country who have been infected were the health care workers who were most exposed.

that's in line with our understanding of the transmission of the virus. >> we've been following judge clay jenkins. is the most positive we've seen him? >> by far, jose. up until now the news he's had to deliver has been very somber and very negative. today's news that 43 people have rolled off the monitor list and another is set to join it. these people are considered ebola free was positive news. he really did seem to be in good spirits as he shared that with the community. like i said, the group is now can ared zero risk. it includes duncan's fiancè and five children going to return to dallas schools this week. duncan's fiancé and her family are preparing to move into a new home being provided by city officials and anonymous donors are working to replace all of those personal belongings and items that had to be destroyed as part of the decontamination process.

duncan's fiancè said to be jubilant and ready to get back to the normal life. >> we want to be clear there are approximately 120 others who continue to be monitored who had some contact with duncan or one of the nurses, right? >> that is correct. like the mayor of dallas said today, i have cleared one hurdle but there are still hurdle left to jump. now hempb a chance to enjoy today's news. the focus is shifting to november 7th. all 120 people will hopefully clear that watch list. that group includes the health care workers who treated duncan after he was admitted to the hospital. many health care workers, especially the women who are mothers are opting to sleep in the hospital out of concern if they were to become symptomatic they could expose their children to ebola. >> one thing stressed is the need to avoid stigmatizing people as they come out of quarantine. take a listen. >> the world is watching dallas

and dallas must determine if dallas will deal with this with grace and come passion. >> dr., it will be tough for many people to deal with the reality. the fact is once you're cleared you're cleared. >> absolutely. absolutely. i think this sort of speaks to the very fine line that we're walking between vigilance and hysteria. you know, a lot of these people were isolated or put into quarantine out of an abundance of caution. and i think that was more sort of to quell the public crisis we were having in the country as opposed to a true public health crisis. >> and, doctor, do you -- because a lot of people are still thinking oh, my gosh is 21 days enough? in other words has it been proven beyond a doubt that the 21-day period once you clear it you're pretty much clear. >> that's true. we say that on average it's eight, nine, ten days.

extending it to 21 days is conservative. we're doing that to be as thorough as possible. it really is not beyond 21 days. the ebola has not changed. the epidemiology of it and the way it's being spread has not -- there's no mutation. we've had, you know, concerns or people have suggested these things over the last few weeks. it's 21 days. we're confident that is the limit. >> thank you so much for being with me this morning. appreciate it. and let's go now to the washington aspect of this. what is turned into a political debate around the president's response to the crisis. more specifically the man the president chose to lead the response, ron klain. seen here with the president in 2009. some criticizing that pick including republican texas senator ted cruz. >> we should be less concerned about getting the public the feeling that the government is on top of this and more concerned about the government actually being on top of this. and this is a manifestation we

don't need another white house political operative which is mr. what klain has been. what we need is presidential leadership. >> and joining me is someone else who has been critical of the president's pick. tennessee congresswoman marcia bla blackburn. you said yesterday we want facts not spin when it comes to the new czar. what did you mean by that? >> well, what we need is someone who understands all the aspects of government and understands the delivery of health care in this affected region. having someone with a broader experience in health care and emergency response would be more appropriate, i think, than someone like ron klain who is known for being a spinner. and the american people are just so frustrated they want someone who is the adult in charge. who can say this is exactly what we're dealing with. this is the transmissability of

the disease. in is how we should go about it. they feel as if what they've seen from this administration is indeed a crisis and a lack of ability to appropriately respond. >> the congressman, you know, the fact is that's why you have the nih and that's why you have the cdc to deal with the medical aspect of it. but doesn't there need to be someone who knows bureaucracy so he can cut through it and it seems as though maybe -- i'm just asking, it's someone who knows how government works to go through it is maybe more important than the medical expert that exists in the administration. >> you brought up an important difference. knows government and governmental systems and not the political aspect. and that's the difference. i think an important one right there. how to make -- how you go about coordinating the delivery of these systems. someone like general who had helped with katrina. there are others that have been recommended that have that

breadth and depth of experience working within that system. i had mentioned former senator bill frist. the former senate majority leader who is a physician, who had effectively run the senate also has a delivered mission in the world. someone like that would bring a view that would be more respectable to the situation. >> i want to ask you about the travel ban question the cdc is pushing back. they say it could make a crisis worse if you have travel bans. for example, you know, the countries in africa that have been able to successfully beat back ebola didn't have travel bans. >> well, indeed. many of the countries did have travel bans. i think there are 22 african nations that had travel bans with the infected region. when you look at the cdc map of africa and you see the affected region you understand why they

put the travel bans up. let me ask you this, does it make sense to say, we're not going have rules and laws and regulations because not everybody is going to abide by them 100%? absolutely not. i was talking to a group of moms last night and they said, oh, we're not going to have a rule: therefore not implement a travel ban because not everybody is going to abide by it. if that were the way we worked in this country, we would not be a nation of laws. we would not have rules. schools wouldn't have rules. teams wouldn't have rules. sports wouldn't have rules. it makes no sense. especially the women. >> what rules specifically do you think there should be in place? >> i would prefer a travel ban. >> for who, how and -- you mean, like -- >> the affected regions. that's been widely discussed. a travel ban on the affected region. if they're not going to do that, if someone wants to leave the

infected countries like sierra leone should submit themselves for a voluntary quarantine for 21 days before they exit the country. they would be free to fly the country. you would know they were ebola free. we've been told time and again. if you want to get your arms around this ebola outbreak you have to isolate it, over there in west africa and you have to deal with it there. we're doing that. we're going to great lengths to do that. i have 1500 constituents who are troops from fort campbell who are deploying to do this. god bless them and let's keep them safe. but, jose, you've got to have an isolation period. we need to go about restricting these visas or doing a quarantine there or having some kind of travel ban so we can get our arms around it and

coordinate the proper response. >> congresswoman, a pleasure to see you. coming up also developing this morning the first court appearance in washington, d.c., for this man. the suspected ring leader of the september 11, 2012 benghazi attack on the city that area that killed four americans. i'll have those details. later these are beautiful photographs from the beautification of pope paul vi. the mass before 70,000 people sunday at the vatican. is the message from the peoples' pope that i want to share with you in seconds. it's monday. a brand new start. your chance to rise and shine. with centurylink as your trusted technology partner, you can do just that. with our visionary cloud infrastructure, global broadband network and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable - secure - agile.

developing this morning in

washington, d.c., a -- is in court right now. it's first court appearance since he was arraigned in june after being snatched by special forces in libya. taken to a navy ship for interrogation. four americans were killed in that attack in benghazi. khattala indicted last week faces a total of 18 charges. if convicted he could face the death penalty. joining me now is former prosecutor. a man in the know on the details. what a pleasure to see you. let's talk about this case. it must be -- let's see, what do you think of the most difficult aspects of this for the prosecution. >> the government begins with the fact they want to prove he's the leader of the murderous attack. usually to approve someone is a leader you get the followers to cooperate. how is easy it it going to be libyan militia members, presumably committed to their cause to come here and testify?

there are going to be other sources of evidence. that's a big part of the problem. in the question is what can the defense do in pursuing documents that could include their efforts to get national security, internal state department downtown documents. what can they do create many complications. what is the they shall hold of proof here. >> they chose ton bring to a civilian trial. not a military tribunal. just like any other court case with witnesses and as we know this is not like any other court case. >> yeah. another hearing being held is in boston. that's where the final status conference for accused boston marathon bombing is being held. it's important in terms of the defense starting to shape their strategy. they have a very uphill battle. we're thinking increasingly they're going to focus as much as possible on avoiding the

death penalty, which means portraying the younger brother as somebody who is dominated, bullied, almost cohearsed into this and putting as much as they can on the older brother, tamerlan tsarnaev, as we know was killed in the shootout. >> even after the older brother was killed the younger brother kept fighting. he penned a note blaming the u.s. government for attacks on muslims. that could condemn him. and now to the middle east where we're just learning about new air strikes in iraq and syria. including near the town of kobani. that's where, for the first time, sunday the u.s. military dropped weapons, app in addition, and medical supplies provided by kurdish authorities in iraq to help kurdish forces in kobani help defend the city.

joining me now vietnam war veteran colonel eric rojo. good morning. >> good morning, jose. happy to be with you. >> thank you. we've heard that the air strikes have begun to slow isis advances. now we're seeing isis pour more resources into the city. how does the u.s. keep kobani from falling, you think? ? >> well, the reason kobani is not falling because there's infantry there. the kurdish forces augmented by women who is not a tradition in the middle east. it goes back to the argument we need infan fry in order to make the air strikes effective. >> now as isis gained ground. we've been keeping an eye on baghdad and whether it can be the next city to be in danger of falling to isis. admiral talked about that on morning joe.

>> we do not assess that baghdad is under imminent threat right now. there's no masses of fighters around the capitol. and the iraqi security forces are doing a good job stiffening their defenses. >> how big a threat is isis to take baghdad, you think, colonel? >> i would agree with the admiral. it's a limited threat. they don't have the forces. baghdad is huge. they may be able to get to the outskirts. maybe capture a couple of sunni neighborhoods. as long as the citizens and the iraqi army make front supported by air strikes they should not be able to take it. >> and do you think, colonel, that kobani is now probably on the side of not falling to isis because of all the help that we're seeing just in the last 24 hours? z>> i would say still 50/50.

we have the problem that is in the border with turkey but turkey said they will not fight without somebody else involved. i tend to agree with them. it is in syrian territory. right now the turks are upset because we're helping the kurds but the kuds kurds are the only ones fighting. eventually the force will have to balance itself out. that will determine the outcome of the city. >> colonel eric rojo, thank you so much for being with me this morning. i appreciate your time, sir. coming up we go to charlottesville, virginia a grizzly discovery was made this weekend. authorities don't know whether it is missing college student hannah graham. another search we've been tracking. cold weather in the northeast. helping police close in on a man suspected of ambushing a pair of police officers killing one of them. >> obviously the worst weather is for him the better it is for us. we believe that as the leaves come off the trees, technology

kicks in quite a bit more. aircraft become more effective. plus, take a look at the pictures. we've been covering a lot of important protests on this broadcast. the democracy fight in hong k g kong, clashes in ferguson, protests in mexico over missing students. in is a scene this weekend at t an american college. the cause far less consequence. we'll explain in seconds. what they do actually is rocket science. but at ge capital we also bring expertise from across ge, like lean process engineers we asked who does what, when, where, and why that step first? ideas for improvement started pouring out. with a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know... can help you grow.

the family of hannah graham could find out as early as today whether human remains found this weekend belong to the missing uva student. graham has been missing for over a month now. the remains were found several miles from where graham was last seen. 32 year-old jesse matthew has been charged in connection with the case but hasn't entered a plea.

luke russert is live in char loc lotsville. >> reporter: there's a tweet from the sheriff's department where we are now, and they said they'll have an announcement whether there is news. there are no scheduled briefings at this time. we here wait. i'm sure the waiting is probably the hardest for the parents of hannah graham. the remains found on saturday in a rural area several miles away where from graham was last seen. there are reports that the person searching the area also found a pair of black pants close to the remains. that would add up. hannah graham was seen wearing black pants. jesse matthew is charged with attempting to defile and abduct hannah graham. he'll be in prison indefinitely until we know more. if therest a positive id more

charges could be brought against mr. matthew. for now we wait. >> live in charlottesville. thank you so much. coming up exclusive polling data on the latino vote that could shape the 2016 race. we'll break the embargo with the pollster that did here in seconds. the topic of the latino vote. here is the moment when the protester challenged the president on the topic of immigration at the campaign appearance on sunday. i'll tell you the president's answer straight ahead. >> we believe that in america -- we believe that --

many americans who have prescriptions fail to stay on them. that's why we created programs which encourage people to take their medications regularly. so join us as we raise a glass to everyone who remembered today. bottoms up, america. see you tomorrow. same time. another innovation from cvs health. because health is everything.

wow! [ narrator ] on a mission to get richard to his campbell's chunky soup. it's new chunky beer-n-cheese with beef and bacon soup. i love it. and mama loves you. ♪ this is charlie. and mama loves you. his long day of doing it himself starts with back pain... and a choice. take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. honey, you did it! baby laughs! and now to an exclusive look inside the latino vote and where that vote stands come 2016. new national numbers seen here for the first time showed

democrats are up, but they're not locked up by anyone come 2016. from some unexpected low numbers on the right to hillary clinton on the left. these new numbers show latino voters are not locked up by anyone. joining me now to break all of this down is the cofounder of latino decisions. the firm that conducted the new national poll commissioned by the group america's voice. good to see you. >> hello, jose. >> let's start with hillary clinton. this new poll could be the biggest wake up call for her. break down the numbers. >> yeah, absolutely. we wanted to look at the two different ways hillary clinton has been characterized on the immigration issue. on the one hand, she's been a very strong supporter of passing immigration reform with the path to citizenship. when we tell our respondents that she can win 73% of the latino vote very large number. however, and i think this is really, really shocking to a lot of folks, when we highlight some

of the negative things that she has said on immigration reform. she opposed driver's licenses for undocumented immigrant. she said the central american unaccompanied minors needed to be deported immediately. her support goes down to 48%. against 48% opposition. a big fluctuation there in the latino vote for hillary clinton. as high as 73. as low as 48. she has a lot of work to do to make sure her message is correct. >> 73% president obama got 71% of the latino vote last time around, didn't he? >> that's right. she has an opportunity to perhaps eclipse that. she needs to be careful. she has made statement that a lot of latino voters are not comfortable with. >> then, matt, there's the wide field on the right starting with jeb bush. how did he for a in context with his immigration statements? jeb has had, also, a checkered past. if you recall in his book he said citizenship should not be

rewarded to illegal immigrant. he later corrected and said he supports a path way to citizenship. we found him about 32% support against 62% opposition. and so not hitting that 40% number that the republicans really do need hit 40% to be successful. >> his brother got 44% of the latino vote to get his re-election underway. so is there anybody, for example, rand paul on the other side of immigration spectrum. someone likelier to have an easier time in the primaries? where did he stand, for example, as latinos? rand paul is an interesting guy. he said repeatedly we need to fix the immigration system. when it comes down to it rand paul voted no on the immigration bill. his actions haven't been there on immigration. we found rand paul only 24% support. not anywhere near the 40% number. even far lower than jeb bush.

he has a lot of work to do. >> let's run through two other senators likely to see in 2016. marco rubio, he was for that immigration reform that he was part of the bipartisan group of eight. i think he was then against it. and ted cruz. someone never for it. >> that's right. rubio, i think, has a possible opportunity here. but he really, really blew his chance with latinos when he then came out against immigration reform moving forward in the house. he said he didn't trust obama. he said the house needed only to focus on border security and his numbers dropped. he's only at 35% among latinos. we've seen him higher in past polls and ted cruz, on the other hand far lower. only 24% of latinos said they would vote against him a posed to 73%. ted cruz has been consistently against immigration reform. he didn't support the bill. he sabotaged it in the house. he has no standing in the latino community on the issue what s

whatsoever. >> i'm wondering if it's hillary clinton in 2016 who would be as far as these numbers are concerned probably the strongest candidate in the republican party to go up against her. >> yeah, you know, i think she has the biggest opportunity among the democrats. clearly she can hit the 70%, which would be crucial. but again, she needs to get her statements and her policy correct on immigration right now. we know that the dreamers have already confronted her at least one event. they may be out there asking her what is she going to do about the immigration issue? how strongly will she lead on it? if she does, our numbers suggest she can do very well in 2016. >> and, matt, appreciate it. the numbers are coming out officially at 1:00 p.m. we appreciate you being on this morning. always pleasure. joining me now is the president and ceo of the national council of will ras is

a thank you. frank, i want to start with you. your group commissioned the poll. >> the biggest price was that hillary clinton has some work to do to define herself. democrats generally held the advantage with latino voters on immigration but if she doesn't get out there strongly and support the president taking executive action and clarify where she stands on this, i think she's going to be vulnerable to a strong republican challenger allah jeb bush. >> hillary clinton lost some credible along the latino community, you think? >> no. i think it's important for any candidate to understand they're going to have to work for our vote and they can't take the latino electorate for granted. and that's going to be true for hillary clinton or for jeb bush or anyone who chooses to run. we know that our vote will make a difference in the 2016 election for sure. any candidate who wants to run needs to be mindful of issues important to our community and they need to engage our

community directly. >> and word do matter. what you say even if it was in the past -- if you're changing your mind will bring it up. i want to bring you to today. the present moment. the moment with the president yesterday. he was in maryland for anthony brown. when he got interrupted by the immigration protester holding the sign #not one more. >> if you have a family member who because we have not fixed the broken system is worried about being deported, then you're going to be worried, too. of course, he should be protesting the folks who are blocking it. [ cheers and applause ] but that's okay. >> and, frank, i mean, the fact of the matter is if the house had done anything proactive on immigration reform this issue probably would be moot right now. do you think, though, that the president was very strong on that response.

what is your reaction to that? >> well, look, you're right, jose. the republicans had a historic opportunity to get right on this issue to pass immigration reform. it was teed up for a bipartisan solution they could claimed substantial credit and historic blunder they didn't follow through. but the president did promise that he was going to take action in september and then broke that promise and delayed it until after the election. there's a lot of anger and frustration that relief has been delayed because of politics. i think that's what the protester was saying and i think the president is saying with confidence he's going to do it after the midterms, but there is still a certain question mark as to whether he's going to follow through given that we have seen promises broke anyone the past. >> it seems there are a lot of people that regardless of what the president does they're never happy with how far he's gone. i mean, with daca. what would you like for the

president to do and when? >> well, frankly, very eager to see the president act as he has said he would before the end of the year on this and take administrative action, but frankly, jose, right now i'm most focussed on making sure that we as latinos are getting out to vote. to many of the voter registration deadlines are coming up now, and it's now important for us as latinos to be able to hold all elected officials accountable both on the republican side and the democratic side. the only way we can make sure that we turn that frustration and disappointment into change and to action is to make sure that we grow our electorate and grow our political power. it's going to be most important for us as a community to make sure that if we are eligible to vote we are out there and making sure weighing in with our voice. because that's going to ultimately change things for us in the future. make sure these priorities we

care about and care about for the country are acted on. >> janet, there is no better way to wrap this conversation than with what you just said. i think everybody can agree. if you are a citizens of the united states of america and you can register to vote and you don't later stop complaining because it is your duty and responsibility if you can make a difference to do so. it starts with one vote. thank you, janet. thank you, frank, for being with me. i appreciate your time so very much. >> thank you. >> thank you, jose. and a note. the president is expected to cast his ballot today. in his hometown of chicago. you can do the same. now to immigration is affecting another group. rarely in the spotlight how to we talk about it here. the homeland of security will speed up the process for haitians waiting to be reunited with their family members in the united states. these are family members that are u.s. citizens or u.s. residents. while more than 100,000 haitians

have been approved for green cards, it can take up to 12 years to receive visas because of annual caps. this new program announced on program would expedite the process. there's no official estimate on how many people are eligible. immigrant groups fear the number could be as low as 5,000. it's important only haitians already scheduled to receive the visa within two years, which they've been waiting ten, get special status allowing them to live in the united states. the program would only apply to haitians on the island. not those living here without status. lawmakers have been pushing for reunification since the haiti earthquake hit five years ago. this is a story and issue not going away. we'll continue to follow it and update as we get more information on this program. coming up another doze of fact versus fiction in the fight against ebola. >> it's a serious disease, but

we can't give into hysteria or fear. because that only makes it harder to get people the accurate information they need.

what a pleasure to see you, doctor. >> good morning, jose. the school said it's out of abundance of caution. suspect it an overreaction? >> yeah. i think we must reset our thinking now. we have known that the world health organization this morning has said that nigeria is free from ebola. if nigeria can do that. let's talk about the definition. w.h.o. said a country must have 42-day term with active surveillance in place supported by good diagnostic capacity with no new cases detected. that is nigeria. this is america. we need to reset our thinking. the fear has spread faster than the ebola virus, which we knew. >> i'm getting the tweet earlier. please stop allowing folks to call this an outbreak in the u.s. it's not an outbreak. >> it's not. there have been a couple of isolated cases.

actual actually, the thing that makes us concerned is someone did die. it's not an outbreak by definition. it's not. we have to reset our thinking. we can't fear monger. we know we have passed the 21 days for the initial incubation period for the initial people that were around mr. duncan. now we have to start notching it down a little bit. ratcheting it down so we can let people get back to their normal lives and not everyone time has a vomiting episode on a new york city subway. we think we have to shut down the subway. >> yeah. and if you have to shut down the subway, it probably won't be because of ebola but, you know, for something else. the president warning against hysteria. now these contacts in dallas are cleared, as you mentioned, how do people in dallas, for example, avoid stigmatizing them? >> well, you know, that's going to be hard. because we know that we have this ebola fear, and what we have to do is putting it in realistic terms.

realistic terms like the fact that 36,000 people will die from the flu this year alone. please, get your flu smhot. we have to start thinking about it as far as the other outbreaks that have been all around the world. and what they've done. we've talked about sars, we've talked about all different types of diseases. and so because this virus is not even airborne, we have to start thinking it's not going to do the same thing that the other viruss around the world have done. when you talk about stigma, i want to stress please, for the children, we don't want children in school, you know -- all the way up to the college age. they've had some colleges in america denied admission to people coming from other parts of the world because they have been exposed to the -- the countries have been exposed to the ebola virus. that's unacceptable. as rational thinking adults we

have to not make bad decisions. children have no idea what is begin on except my parents are upset. that's not good enough. we're better than that. >> we are. and you can give them some kind of emotional scar that would be difficult to deal with throughout their lives if they start thinking and fearing that everybody in their school is make them contagious. >> exactly. i actually did a lecture for a men's group on friday and they had a lot of nigerian attendees. they have been stigmatized in communities. they have been born the nigerians were born here in america. we have to ratchet this down. it's not fair. and we will start thinking about, you know, the fact we have a czar now. we have an ebola czar. albeit, i probably would like him to be a doctor. i have to be honest. it's not someone that -- the person doesn't have to be a doctor. they have to be some type of policy walk who can make sure that the systems communicate. that's all we need.

if we had that in place we wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now. >> doctor, thank you so much for being with me. a pleasure to have you on. >> appreciate. get your flu shot! >> i already got it. you have to get it at home. seriously. kids also. an update on the developing story. we brought you earlier this hour. the lawyer from the suspected leader of the 2012 attacks in benghazi entered a not guilty plea on charges related to the attack. khattala did not speak during the hearing. pete williams in the courtroom. we'll bring you the latest on the story as we get it. a possible serial killer in indiana and ongoing manhunt. let's zoom through the top stories. police in northwest indiana are investigating a possible serial killer after seven women were found dead over the weekend. police say a 43-year-old man from gary indiana taken into custody after the first woman was found dead. later confessed to several murders and told police where to
