9:00 am
coly ing and friend amber vincent and dr. craig spencer. i hope that people understand that this illness and whole experience have been stressful and challenging for me and my family. although i no longer have ebola, i know it may be a while before i have my strength back. so with gratitude and respect for everyone's concern, i ask for my privacy and my family's privacy to be respected as i return to texas and try to get back to a normal and reunite with my dog, bentley. thank you, everyone. >> thank you very much, nina. before i open up for questions, i want to recognize two people who really helped us in linking with nina and getting to know her as essentially a member of our family here at nih.
9:01 am
nina's mother, diana and her sister, kathy. okay, questions? >> what did you do for her while here at nih. >> we know she is virus-free because we now have five negative consecutive pcrs on her. i don't want anyone to take from that that that is the norm and the standard that you can only guarantee someone is virus-free if you do five. we did because this is a research institution. that's not the norm. we provided her with supportive care and that's something i have been saying. one of the most important things in bringing back an ebola patient to health is to give them the kind of medical general support to allow their own body
9:02 am
to fight off the virus and get rid of the virus. >> [inaudible]. . >> i would leave it up to her, but that's not for me to answer right now. >> [inaudible]. should americans or others return from the ebola -- [inaudible] >> that is something on the active discussion and we will be hearing shortly about the guidelines, but i want to point out to remember that it isn't just the cdc and federal government, but the states have an awful lot to say about what happens. you will be hearing more about that. >> you are an expert right now, but you might be in trouble. >> i think i can repeat it all the time. the way you get ebola is by
9:03 am
direct contact of the body fluids of an ill individual. if you don't have that, you don't have to worry about ebola. that's important to point out. you must separate the issue of a risk to a general public with the risk with brave people like nina and her colleagues. they are two different things. nippa put herself in a situation that she knew was a risk. she happened to get infected. she was with a very sick person. >> what have you learned by treating her -- >> we have just heard from nina pham declared ebola-free and is being released from the hospital to return home. we are hearing from new york city officials after the city confirmed their first case of ebola. 33-year-old craig spencer in
9:04 am
isolation at bellevue hospital where he was working with doctors without borders. his fiance and two friends have been quarantined. joining me is the american doctor who was diagnosed with ebola while working in liberia. we will start with kristin dahlgren. the latest is we are expecting to hear more from the mayor and other officials in new york, but dr. spencer alerted them when he tested with the 100.03. a little over 100 degree temperature. he was then brought in by the fire department by the hazmat units in procedures that had been preparing for. and rehearsing for weeks and wee weeks. >> this is a plan that has been
9:05 am
in place. bellevue is one of the hospitals in new york that had been designated as ready for a ebola patient and where they would be bringing anyone suspected of having ebola. from the moment he called, telling them what his story was and that he had this elevated temperature. the responders went in full gear. we heard from nina pham. her story on everyone's mind here. a health care worker infected boy a patient. they don't want that to happen again. they are being careful. doctor spencer in quarantine in the hospital here. i spoke with one of the doctors who works in a different unit and they have been told to stay within the units. they are not allowed in the isolation ward and only essential personnel who absolutely have to have contact with dr. spencer are being allowed into that isolation ward. there protocols in place and the cdc is here to make sure that everyone goes smoothly.
9:06 am
they don't want another health care worker infected. >> and now thank you very much. it's good to see you and good to see you so healthy. we know that you have been ebola-free for a month now. tell us how you feel and if she is gaining strength. >> i feel good, but it took me about three, three and a half weeks before i had a sense of stamina or energy or strength. just about a week or week and a half now i have been feeling strong. her recovery takes time. she bounced back remarkably quickly with the excellent care she received. she is younger than i am so she might have a quicker recovery. >> have you gone back to work? >> i have not yet. i started putting in inquiries about when i could get some
9:07 am
hours. >> let me ask you about the somewhat developing controversy that said about doctor spencer and what happened. he isolated himself and department go to work, but after coming back from guinea, he was out and about and went bowling and he was on the subway. that led to criticism and came up in a hearing in washington. we heard the doctor say they are considering and what we are expecting to hear new guide lines from the cdc and states also have a in what they do about returning health workers from the hot zone. do you think it's handily that people should stay home for a period? >> i think the main thing to emphasize to the public is that people who are not ill, who don't have a fever or not clinically ill cannot spread ebola. that's important for people to understand. number one. number two, it's close contact
9:08 am
with blood and body fluids. it's not casual contact. it's not sitting at a table together or eating a meal. it's close contact with blood and bodily fluids. obviously the health department in each state will have to make up their minds and the cdc will come out with guide lines. i'm not in a position to make decisions about that, but people need to understand that people who are not sick do not transmit this virus. >> do you have concerns that doctors and health professionals such as yourself will be reluctant to go if there is an outcry after someone like dr. spencer? >> sure. i think we need to remember that the big thing that is going to help america be safe against ebola is when we get the epidemic in west africa under
9:09 am
control. that will take volunteers and people like dr. spencer who care about the situation over there to go. we need to find ways to encourage more people to go and not make the situation too burdensome for them on their return. >> at this point do you have antibodies in your blood and is your blood valuable as potential donor blood? >> i have expressed a willingness to donate if it's necessary. the science is still out on this issue of whether the donated samples make a difference or not, but i'm always willing to do that. >> would you go back to liberia or guinea or another country? >> i would go back to liberia. it's my second home. i lived there for 15 years of my life. the health system there has been crippled by this ebola epidemic. it's my desire to take a part in
9:10 am
supporting and helping with the recovery of that health system. can you describe for us, what is it like to go through this, the fear and being put in isolation and also the pain, the physical signs of this that none of us would understand. >> you know, when i went to liberia as an sim missionary in early august, we talked about it and my family talked about it. i was aware of the risk. obviously when you get that news, i remember that was the longest day of my life probably. waiting for the test result september 1st. there was fear and anxiety there, but for me i was also praying and trusting god.
9:11 am
obviously concerned. the illness itself i will say, i was evacuated quickly. i was in the u.s. within six days of getting sick. i had excellent, excellent care. i never reached the level of illness that some people do. i never had bleeding complications and other things. it was like's really, really awful flu. your is weak and tired and achy. fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. those symptoms. i never got to the real worst of it that some people suffer from. >> i wanted to play a little bit of nina pham who spoke moments ago. >> i believe in the power of prayer because i know so many people all over the world have been praying for me. i do not know how i can ever thank everyone enough for their prayers and expressions of concern, hope, and love. i join you in prayer now for the recovery of others including my
9:12 am
colleague and friend amber vincent and dr. craig spencer. >> at this stage we have amber vincent who is at emery and craig spencer at bellevue. it seems as though the lessons learned from dallas have been learned well by new york. from all reports they rehearsed and exercised and had all the health workers at the convention center and the fire department went in and bellevue seems to know what it is doing. >> yes, it seems like there has been a real ramp up in how things were handled. what can you say to new yorkers and other potential contact with
9:13 am
he was not symptomatic each though he was out and about. >> there is fear, but we need to base our behavior and our actions on the facts. this is not a virus that is easily spread through physical objects. the virus doesn't sit on a counter top and sit there and spread after a day or two. it's direct contact. people don't have to worry about riding the subway or being around the apartment or the building where he was living. most contact, this is not how the virus is spread. it is spread through close direct contact. people can rest assures everything has been done properly from what i saw. people can rest easy in knowing that things have been done
9:14 am
properly. >> thank you for coming in and we wish you continued good health and thank you for your service for the people of liberia. >> thank you. >> we are awaiting a press conference from bill deblazio and new york city health officials. up next, new details into the man behind the deadly attack in ottawa and isis-inspired attacks after a man attacks a group of new york police officers with a catch et. a quick look at the markets today where stocks are up and earnings news from mike coe soft, amazon and others. investors are not shaken by ebola fears in new york city. you are watching msnbc. bh and more pain. what's that, like six pills today? yeah.

>> a quick update on emory university patient amber vinson. they are pleased to report amber vinson is making good progress in her treatment. the test no longer detect virus in her blood. she remains in the serious communicable disease unit for continued care. they do not have a discharge date at this time. good news though from emory university. chilling video surfacing about the man who attacked ottawa this week. part of a report filed boy kevin tibbles. >> the gunman is seen just minutes after killing a canadian soldier with a huhhing rifle. he hijacks a car and seen for the canadian parliament. people scatter and he runs and at gunpoint gets a second car
9:19 am
heading for the front door. once inside, he continues firing until being killed in a shot out with security. >> a reporter for the globe and he shot this video on his blackberry. he was inside when the attack took place off the center hall. he shot the video. you can hear the gunfire that killed the attacker. joining me now with an update. that was pretty amazing. the presence of mind and to stand there while all of that gunfire was being shot off. a number of rounds. >> thank you. they kept asking me what i was
9:20 am
thinking. i think i wasn't thinking more than anything. thank you. it has been a surreal couple of days. >> what do we know about the suspect? this seems from all the reporting it seeps to be a one off event and not a conspiracy or connections to others. maybe you have more information than that. >> yeah, we are getting a good picture now of the suspect. for starters he arrived in ottawa this month and was trying to sort out passport issues. he expressed a desire to go to syria or a desire to go to the region at least and they are weighing whether whether or not to give him a passport and he stepped on toes it seemed with some of his comments. it looks like it was a slow burn. it was a record of petty criminal behavior and he bounced around and he was estranged from his family and in particular his mother who works at a
9:21 am
governmental agency. we are seeing a picture emerging of a man who had been on this meandering path. he thought of a crack cocaine addiction and one thing after another brought him to the attack in ottawa that left the city pretty shaken. >> extraordinary eyewitness account. thank you very much again. frightening moment in new york city caught on camera. a man carrying a hatchet attacked a group of four police officers taking a picture. two of the officers were injured and critically with a head wound recovering in the hospital now. the attacker was shot and killed by police. for more details, we have the chief investigative reporter for wnbc in new york. what we are hearing from the fbi and others, this may have been a sole operator and not part of some isis experience. >> the lone actor and the
9:22 am
investigator said they went to his computer online and lots of raptings about his anger over what he said were oppressed in this country. he was angry at the military over vietnam. also he complained about the wars in iraq and afghanistan and said america nodeeded to be attacked from within. it sounds like a disturbed man who picked up an ax and went after the officers. the question they have is whether his use of this hatchet and going at the officer's head is inspired by the radical videos and beheadings we have seen from overseas. as of now there is no indication this individual had ties to al qaeda or as a follower. he was a muslim convert, but nothing to indicate that he is part of any sort of organized terror experience.
9:23 am
>> we are getting any more alerts from the fbi or nypd? >> they did put out a bulletin warning journalists to take precautions and journalists can be targeted and just one of the long list of possible targets for terrorists. no new threat to new york or the region. there were numerous radical individuals that they are monitoring and keeping their eyes on in this area and across the country in case there is a sort of homegrown event. no specific threat or threat warning. >> how is the police officer? >> the police officer is out of surgery. he is much improved and he went to the hospital critical after being slashed in the head with that machete. he is out of surgery and we are hold he is in table condition and he will get a further update, but he is doing much better.
9:24 am
>> thank you. thanks very much from the update. bill deblasio will update us on the city's first ebola case. the mayor tweeted this photo. riding the subway with a tweet we are working very losly with the state and federal papers to protect the health of all new yorkers. still ahead, we will talk to the parents of an american journalist kaled illed by isis journalists. we will speak to them live right here on "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. and when weather hits, it's data mayhem. but airlines running hp end-to-end solutions are always calm during a storm. so if your business deals with the unexpected, hp big data and cloud solutions make sure you always know what's coming - and are ready for it. make it matter.

what is your mission now, diane? >> we don't want jim to have died in vain, andrea. he really was an outstanding young man in so many ways. he had deep passion and compassion for people he was reporting on and anyone he met really. we are establishing a james foley legacy foundation. one of the main things we hope to accomplish is to be a support for any american families who have a loved one who is hostage. to encourage a dialogue in the world as far as about policy, but also within our own government so that we can have better communication. we have a big bureaucracy in our country and we really want the foundation to be part of some improvement there in terms of support for hostage families.

attorneys advising us and working close low with fbi, we did raise pledges of money in hopes of ransoming jim out. >> what do you know about his captivity and how he was treated? >> he had no personal communication for 20 months, but we communicated with the release hostages from spain and france. their captivity was not fun. there were episodes of brutality and punishment and that sort of thing. there were periods of time where they were not fed well. on the lighter side, he was able to organize games for the guys to play together and he was able to organize lectures. all the things that would keep your mind busy and keep your eyes straight forward and going. >> jim foley leaves on tragically through your work and

9:34 am
the mayor is speaking and he has thanked everyone involved and said there is no cause for alarm and new yorkers are safe. let's join the news conference in progress. >> their support, hold on one second. can we get that settled over there? i want to thank them for their support and their efforts to make sure they had information when they needed it. that has been important to our effort to get chlorand consistent information. all elected officials have been part of this, particularly those here today. eric adams and gale brewer. i want to thank them for their partnership. let me emphasize what we have that is so crucial.
9:35 am
anywhere in the world. it is a system developed over decades that is ready for challenges and proving it as we speak. we are fully prepared to handle ebola. they have been working closely with our federal partners and consuling with doctors in other parts of the country where on the frontline including nebraska and atlanta who treated ebola patients. the partnership has been consistent and seamless and that has been helpful and they have been followed to the letter. the patient who tested positive was taken to bellevue following the protocols.
9:36 am
from the moment the call came in r in, they interviewed the patient and getting the facts and having a team that was especially trained and received the handoff. the patients held in isolation imposes no threat to others. to the team of disease seconds, this is a very important point. they have a team of experts who act as dblths would. they trace all the contacts that the patient had and they are trained to do so. they have been at work since the report came in retracing the steps of the patient and we will have a detail of those findings.
9:37 am
we are looking at each contact and tomorrowing whenever quarantine is necessary. the patient went to a few other food establishments before being admitted yesterday. we have been able to retrace the steps and the teams retraced that. casual contact conditioned lead to acquiring this disease. the only threat is direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has this disease. before i turn to my colleagues, i want to race an important point. people in a moment of crisis ask what they can do.
9:38 am
what should they know. it's important to help new yorkers understand the crucial information they need. we made clear all the things that ebola is not. all the ways it does not transmit. that still does not mean people can't do something to help in the crisis. first, if you or a loved one feels you may meet the qualifications, meaning you have traveled to the three countries in west africa afflicted in the last 21 days and you have a fever and other symptoms, it is crucial to call 911 immediately or the only other alternative, go to a hospital emergency room. i want to emphasize, the only two acceptable actions. call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room. do not wait, do not hesitate or wait to see if you get better or go to a private doctor's office.
9:39 am
call 911 or go g to an emergency room. if a loved one may be afflicted and fits the criteria, call on their behalf to 911 or bring them to an emergency room. again, we have no other cases reported, but it's important that people understand that is the protocol. >> with that warning to new yorkers, mayor deblasio warning new yorkers if they have been to the hot zone in western africa or come back and after 21 days are experiencing symptoms, they have two options. to call 911 or go to an er. no the to go to your private physician. new yorkers have the best health care system in the world and the emergency medical teams have been drilling and it worked to a t. there is no further cause of alarm. dr. spence are as you know is in the hospital and his fiance and two other friends have been quarantined. now to politics with so many
9:40 am
prominent political races going down to the wire. there is one question. where is chuck todd and the mead the voters rv. they started in kansas and he made his way to iowa. the moderator is live in wisconsin. chuck todd, good to see you. let's talk about the governor's race. is scott walker really in trouble or is this something we don't pick up from outside the state? it was a close election in 2010. it depends on your definition of trouble. this is wisconsin that has been a polarized state. you can argue that wisconsin has been a ground between the parties of late. what's interesting here is that there is an interesting -- republicans are claiming momentum in a lot of senate races and momentum in iowa and
9:41 am
you can detect that being there. you feel like the democrats think they have the momentum and the republicans are worried and part of it is there is no federal race here. much harder for republicans to use the obama bashing they used to gin up the republican base and get them excited. it's the democrats who are able to that is giving the democrats on the ground. the republicans are very nervous about that enthusiasm on the ground here. what do you take away from the conversation? >> i did. she has been harder to run against because she doesn't have
9:42 am
a political portfolio, but she doesn't have a voting record. as you know, members have that huge voting record. she has a business background. she had a big stumble here and some could argue that stopped her momentum. they were plagiarized and used it in the same place. she tried to clean it up and she stands by the ideas. she said i stand by the ideas and it was sloppy work and that's why they fired him. walker was able to right the ship and it has been a dead heat
9:43 am
ever since. anything could happen, but to give you a sense of how the campaign believes their path to victory is, he is the only democratic candidate in a battle swing state, presidential swing state who is inviting both presidents obama and clinton. we have seen them campaign in bluer states, but he is coming here next week and he will be in milwaukee. she said she said in a few minutes she will be campaigning with bill clinton and we have
9:44 am
voter who is were pro and anti-walker who has been holding a meeting doing the can't we all just get along concept. and some people are trying to school the tensions. >> it has been a lot of fun. we have a big show and six new set up polls. we will have two of the biggest leaders in the senate that will be -- one will be helping with the agenda. republican or chuck schumer in new york. schumer has been aggressive on the ebola front as well. >> it's great to see you.

9:49 am
for "time" magazine. hillary, the photographs of diana walker. it is a pleasure to see you. road warrior, friend. white house fellow traveler. people didn't know it was you. >> two of us took that picture and i was trying to do a behind the scenes and they came up and said would you like to photograph the secretary and we said sure. she was sitting there and she needed her glasses. she began to go through her pocket book and out came her dark glasses which she put on
9:50 am
and we shot the picture. i had no idea that this was going to go viral and become such an iconic picture of her. >> how do you stay as behind the scenes as you are. you managed to capture her without her seeming self conscious. >> i think she is very unself toshs with me. i don't know if it's me or other photographs. she was a rfl support that way. they were both very unself conscious and they act said as if i wasn't there. >> how have you seen her change over the years? >> that's interesting. i want you to lock at the audience and look at the book and see how they interpret what she looks like today as opposed to at the beginning. for me it was an assignment that
9:51 am
went on for a long time, but i have seen her become much more out there at rallies and that kind of thing. more self assures and free to be humorous which she really is. >> of the things that people don't see are the private moments that you saw on inauguration day when she was eying chelsea's short skirt. any mother can relate to this. >> this is just one of the things that i honestly think i laughed out loud. i was across the floor from her and anybody would understand the mother's feelings when it was revealed that chelsea's skirt was extremely short. it was a wonderful human moment. that's what i'm always looking for in my pictures. >> you absolutely captured it. the photographs of diana walker. we know you from photographing
9:52 am
presidents and kings and being in war zones and all over the globe. can you imagine another campaign for you? >> no. i can say today that this is it. i'm not going out on the campaign trail again, but i had a wonderful run at it and now i can look back and enjoy it. >> what was your first at this time? >> i went out with gerald ford and a little with the carders. >> congratulations, and we'll be right back. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin,

which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me.
