ready. >> the system is developed over decades and ready for challenges and proving it as we speak. we are fully prepared to handle ebola. here's what we have learned about the movements the night before he fell ill. he took the subway to a bowling alley called gutter. they voluntarily closed for sanitation and health officials are stressing that the danger to the public is very low because he was not symptomatic. from new york to maryland, we learn that the first person to be infected here in the u.s. that was nurse nina pham is now ebola-free. she will meet with the president this hour at the white house. she spoke from the nih facility in baltimore. >> throughout this ordeal, i have put my trust in god and my medical team. i am on my way back to recovery

even as i reflect on how many others have not been so fortunate. >> we have just learned as i mentioned that pham will be at the white house this hour. she is set to meet with president obama. let's start in new york at the bellevue hospital with kristen dahlgren. what do we know about dr. spencer's condition? >> reporter: we just got confirmation from the cdc that the test it ran confirms that dr. spencer does have ebola. we heard from the health officials and they say today he is in stable condition. he is being quarantined here at bellevue hospital as is his fiance. two other friends of doctor spencer's have also been isolated. the fiance and the two friends not showing any symptoms at all and are expected to say in isolation for the full 21-day

incubation president. it is not believed he was symptomatic for very long. he was self monitoring and as soon as he noticed an elevated temperature, he called authorities. >> i know you have been spoking with folks at bellevue. are they confident they can handle the case? >> they are. i spoke with at least one doctor this morning who works here. he said things have changed and they have been told to stay in their units. he was a doctor in a psych ward and they have been told to stick to the areas and essential personnel allowed into the quarantine unit and only thes that are absolutely necessary. here's what he told me. >> is bellevue prepared? >> i think so. that's one of the things i took pride in. i have mixed feelings. i am sad ebola is in new york city and affected this gentlemen who tried to help people, but i

feel pride in working in a hospital that is ready for this and that can handle anything. >> obviously the cdc and hospitals around the country have been watching nina pham and watching nurses closely affected and nobody wants that to happen again and they are making it clear that they need to obey any type of protection and protocol. tell me they are doing that. here on set we have mark levine who represents the district where dr. spencer lives and we have dr. debbie from the school of medicine. thank you very much for being with us. i know you were this morning at doctor spencer's apartment building. you spoke to folks around there.

are people concerned? what is the mood in the neighborhood? >> they are concerned and they might be too scared. there is so much misinformation out there and we need more literature ahead. this is a largely imgrant mashd. a few medical worker who is worked in the hospital. we have to get the information out through the spanish media. people understand if you didn't have intimate contact with dr. spencer, you are likely not a risk. >> you will be fine. what is likely going on? as the clean upstarted? what is happening in that building? >> it's a media circus. >> i can imagine. >> the apartment itself has been sealed off. we are expecting any moment and

perhaps it's under way that specialized clean up team will get there. this is a contractor hired by the city and experts are going with the full protective garb and all the equipment they need. they will be removing body flutes and they see and any material such as sheets or towels or tooth brushes. >> they have the proper procedures to handle it. >> it doesn't go into the trash stream. it is removed in a specialized way. if. >> dr. spencer reported a 103 degree fever and we have new information that it was 100.3 degrees. does that change your assessment of the situation as a medical professional some. >> not totally. he is still having symptoms and a fever and we know he has ebola, but in terms of ho vigorous of a response is, 103 is more concerning. it means your immune system is really fighting and waging a

battle against the virus. it's very low risk. i don't think the public should be worried. >> that's good to hear. we hear that bellevue has taken precautions in advance in anticipation that there could be an ebola patient sent there. are they more prepared than texas health presbyterian? >> the new york city health system is arguably the best in the world under any circumstances. they reviewed from top to bottom. the city could not have been more prepared. this was the kind of incident for teams i drove for. because of the preparation, it has been executed flawlessly until now. >> do you agree with that. the people are doing different things. they are having fake patients coming in with ebola to see how

they manage them. they are having feedback sessions every week about that to make sure the teams get better. a i lot of them have special strike teams like the one the pentagon formed where these people, laboratory technicians and doctors and nurses might come in contact who come in as soon as there is an ebola patient. doing all of these things having done them for several months before it happened should inspire more confidence. >>. >> i wanted to ask you about what has been raised. it's a sensitive issue. is there a case to be made for quarantining medical professionals and soldier who is return from the affected countries in west africa? >> it's a difficult issue, but we have to do it consistently. they bring them food and take

care of the others. they have limited contact with other people, but more supervised and very clear guidelines about what needs to be done. >> the number one priority needs to be fighting this epidemic in those countries and if you have doctors who have to go over and be quarantined for 21 days, that will impact the ability to respond. councilman, on a partial level, when did you hear about the fact that dr. spencer was infected with ebola and what have you said to your friends and loveds about the risk and what they should be thinking about? >> i got the call from the mayor's office 2:30 yesterday and disbelief was my reaction. how could it be of all the places on earth, ebola struck in my district? >> my and the real medical issues.

and a couple of people on the scene would not shake my hand because of fear i could be contaminated. there was no scientific reason and i would be infected. this is what we were working against. >> glad you were here to spread that message. we have great news about nina pham and amber vincent and the nurses here at texas health. do you have a sense of what we can attribute the recovery to? >> there is the person it infections. their ability to fight the virus could be different. it could be different person to person. the portal and came into contact

with a lot of dialysis and iv. that's something we need to focus on. >> such a great point. mark reveen and dr. debbie, thank you both so much. here are the other top stories thatty woo are tracking right now. today, canada honors corp rail nathan cirillo who died wednesday in that attack on parliament. the soldier is honored this hour departing for ottawa to his hometown on a highway of heroes. we are learning more details about the lone gunman. yesterday he had come to ottawa to try to get a passport to travel to syria. he had recently been designated as a high risk traveler by the canadian government and was blocked from traveling abroad. he stayed in a local homeless shelter before carrying out that horrible attack. back in new york, we are

learning about zal thompson who attacked four police officers in queens yesterday with a hatchet. he wounded two of them. >> unprovoked and not speaking a word, he struck his right arm. after striking that officer, the suspect continued swinging the hatchet, striking a second officer in the head, causing him to fall to the sidewalk. >> and those two officers then fired on the is suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene. law enforcement sources tell us that he appears to have acted alone and that he an anti-police, aspect military bias. he said to have advocated for attacking the u.s. from within. upon reviewing the case, they painted a picture of a disturbed loner angry about unfair treatment of african-americans. searching his social media, there islamic references, but law enforcement maintains this seems to be more of a case of

black racial ideology from the 1970s. that investigation is of course ongoing and both officers who were wounded are in stable condition. moving now to africa, there lots of new developments in the boko ha ram story. he kidnapped dozens more young girls. they stormed and slit throats in the efforts to steal the girls. in two mountain villages to the northeast of nigeria. the government of chad today said that nigeria's secret deal to free more than 200 kidnapped girls is still on despite the break down of a truce according to reuters. chad mediated the accord between the government and boko ha ram last week. y that mourn the loss of writer frank mank wits who ran george mcgovern's presidential campaign

and served as press sex tear to robert kennedy. he died yesterday of a heart attack at 90 years old. he also worked as a newspaper journalist and held an executive position at the peace corps before he became press secretary to senator kennedy in 1966. he was perhaps best remembered for delivering this tragic news to the nation. >> in short, i have a short announcement to read, which i will read at this time. senator robin francis kennedy died at 1:44 a.m. today june 6th, 1968. >> leaves his wife and two sons.

. at this hour, former president clinton is campaigning in wisconsin for mary burke, the candidate for governor there. he is not the only out on the campaign trail today. we have hillary clinton in massachusetts tonight. she is headlining an event for martha coakley, the gubernatorial nominee there. jeb bush and marco rubio are special guests at a fund-raiser for rick scott's reelection.

also on the trail, former governor mitt romney in tucson stumping at a rally for candidate martha sally. look at the photos we have been getting where they are waiting for romney to arrive currently. you may be wondering who took the lovely snapshots. it was our very own ronan farrow on the road. i got to speak with him earlier and asked him what romney was up to there in arizona. >> it's really interesting that he is here. it's a week and a half before the mid-terms. he is in demand and has been in a lot of hot races around the country. it's interesting that he is choosing this smaller race, but a tight for gabby giffords's old seat. it's interesting to see the issues coming to the floor. gun control is on people's minds given that gabby giffords history. it is a toss up at this point. a lot of red state voters here. we will have to see how it shakes out. the theme emerging in mitt romney's involvement is he is becoming one of the great men in

the party. he is casting himself in that bill clinton role and being the evangelist. yesterday he was stumping for the candidate ask he he is here. >> romney as the bill clinton of the republican party. interesting stuff. another headline has been the money. almost 4 billion with a b dollars will have been syphoned into the campaigns by the time it's said and done. to give you a perspective on that, that is more than the gdp of 55 countries. what are they spending all that mono? we have casey hunt and perry bacon, senior political reporter for nbc news. such a treat to have both of you with me. thank you so much. i wanted to start with georgia because i think this race is fascinating. democrats are struggling and yet we have a new poll showing

michelle nunn with an edge on david purdue. can she pull it off? >> it had been written off in a way. david purdue was strong at the beginning. he is a business man who came from outside the political system and he was able to make that argument against nunn who was saying i'm not of washington. in the final weeks, you are seeing out sourcing. he had trouble talking about his business record not unlike another business man, mitt romney. if nobody gets 50%, it will go to a run off. >> any sense who that would favor? >> for repends who it would lock like. it depends on where the balance of power would come down if we don't know who has control. republicans are going to be

pouring tons and tons of money down there. that dynamic will get out. >> someone who is not on the ballot and weighing on the races is president obama himself. take a look at what debbie wassermann schultz had to say with all due respect yesterday. >> what competitive race is the senate campaigning in? >> like i said, the president has been campaigning in competitive races. >> is there? >> there races the president is campaigning in around the country and he is also governing. >> they had a very hard time saying that there were any races in the country the president was directly associated with. >> that's right. it's not surprising. you have seen candidates from kay hang in to allison grimes say they want to campaign with bill clinton and not president obama. he is going to wisconsin. she likely to go to florida.

he has been involved in governor's races. he is more involved. it's not surprising. you are seeing his approval ratings going down. it's the 6th year of his presidency and he is not popular on the trail right now. >> let's turn to colorado. democrats make the argument that the polling is not reflecting the voting population that will show up. do you buy into that argument or are they in trouble there? >> it's what they are counting on. it they can't get the obama voters to the polls that usually vote in presidential years, they are sinking fast. mark udahl held the campaign to get women out in particular. there were suburbs of denver and the voters that carried michael bennett into the senate. he is now running the national campaign operation for democrats in the senate. if he loses, it will be embarrassing for him and what they have said is when we are

targeting the voters, we don't just know the zip code and know whether they are black or white or female or male. we know which door they live behind and it will be a real test. they are trying to the tests as a possibility. how much of a difference can an effective ground day make of these close races? >> a huge difference. about 13% of the voters in florida were black. obama won. in 2010, a close race. rick scott, the governor of florida won a race where he is a republican and about 11% of the voters are black. bam to 2012, you have obama winning again. two points a turn out and basically give two points to the democrats. if they like florida and wisconsin where the parties are basically at parody in those states and the turn out is the result, whoever gets their base voters out, they are undecided about scott walker.

people love or hate him in wisconsin. the core is who is more excited on election day. the evidence so far is the polling is showing republican enthusiasm is higher. it also showed that in 2012. watch to see what happens in the races. they focused on getting the american voters in georgia, florida, north carolina and shapes in a different way. >> let me ask you in north carolina. it's interesting that a coke-aligned group is running ads for this libertarian candidate that are running these he is against war and for pot, trying to syphon off the liberal young voters. do you think that will have impact in that race? speak to the role of independent candidates in this election cycle and it's interesting. >> shawn is a pizza delivery man by night and libertarian candidate the rest of the time. he is polling better than some libertarian candidates and as

you can see now, republicans necessary some ways trying to syphon off progressive antiwar voters in addition whatever conservatives they may be able to pull. usually we see them pull less. pull fewer votes at the end of the day than what you see. i think this has become a theme across the math in this election. people are unhappy with the process and looking for alternatives in a lot of states. you are seeing that in kansas. you are seeing it here. there is a candidate on the libertarian party in georgia who could throw it to a run off. it does look like the candidates are poised to make an impact that is larger than we have seen. >> it is an interesting election cycle and we always hear that it's a throw the bums out and it's bad for incumbents. that is not the case. this seems to actually be the case. thank you both so much. >> thanks, crystal. >> up next, who is between two

including the head of national nurses united. the risk doctors and nurses face is the greatest. >> the ebola pandemic and exposure of health care workers and the real threat that it could occur elsewhere represent a clear and present danger to public health. every rn who works in a health care facility could be nina pham or vinson. >> the response will include the deployment of a team from the defense department and specially trained doctors. joining me now from capitol hill, matt cartwright, a democrat who was inside the hearing. thanks for being with me. >> my pleasure. how are you? >> very good. we know that craig spencer was around nyc the day before he

exhibited symptoms. do you think health care workers and troops returning for west africa like dr. spencer, should they be quarantined? >> that was a big part of the discussion and the oversight committee hearing this morning. what are the terms of the quarantine and the waiting periods? we had assistant secretary of defense there today and a marine major general james la riffier. what are the proper waitings. shouldn't we do them in country before people are brought back to the united states? we deferred on that and i asked them specifically to check back in with the cdc and see if weather weather they wanted to

move from a 10 to a 21-day waiting period before bringing them back to the united states. when doctors get it and nurses -- by the way, thank god during the hearing we heard that the nurse was here in maryland. >> great piece of news there. doctors would be returning. isn't the number one priority to fight it in west africa where the greatest amount of risk comes from. if we require this 21 days after they come back, isn't that going to make it more difficult to fight ebola where the problems are the greatest? maybe marginally it makes it less attractive and anybody

willing to make the sacrifice to travel to deal with some of these deplorable conditions and these heart breaking and heart wrenching family situations as you have there, anybody willing to make that kind of a sacrifice, i think they will put up with another 11 days in quarantine. i don't know the answer. that's why i asked these gentlemen to check in with the cdc and ask them whether it doesn't make sense to add another 11-day waiting period before we bring people back to the united states. >> let's turn to those on the frontlines here in this country and the head of the national nurse's united union testified today. do you think enough is being done here in the u.s.? >> they were all there in force. members of the national nurse's union and in fact they had stickers that said i am nina pham. i am nina pham. it was only fitting that they

were there wearing the stickers. they heard that nurse pham was cleared of ebola. you are absolutely right. we have to do everything to protect our nurses and physicians and health care technicians. these are the people that are going to lick this problem. if we are going to put them at the frontlines of this fight, we have to back them up with all of the support we can come up with. >> we spoke with the councilman early or this show. he represents the district where the doctor lives and he was concerned they had bad information and they were more concerned about the threat than they should be. are you seeing the same? >> everybody is worried. it's a scary, scary thing. we heard by january if we don't get after this ebola thing in west africa, there could be upwards of a million people infected in that part of the world. >> we have to fight it there in

disparities. >> eleanor, you were in a very different part of the world. in youngstown, ohio, a place i know very well. i used to live in that area. it faces problems of its own of chronic joblessness. did you find similar themes among the young people you were speaking to that lauren found in nigeria? >> yeah, absolutely. what we found, my partner and i surprising, a lot of systematic problems that young people faced in the great lakes region where we were report, are very similar to other countries. and i think that's something that's not necessarily realized here. in terms of you are ba infrastructu infrastructure, access to resource, educational opportunities, support from family structures, it's lacking for a lot of these young people in america as well. >> lauren, i know one thing you've been writing about is the fact that young people, they don't just want a job. they want something that's actually meaningful. is that sort of a common theme you found? >> sure. common theme everywhere. it sounds cheesy but at the end of the day, we're all not that much different. everybody wants to have a

purpose and to contribute to their communities and to believe in something, to have a higher purpose. >> and you are both yourself millenials looking for jobs. eleanor, has that process been difficult? what are the prospects out there for you personally? >> so, it can be tough. it can be really tough, i think. opportunities like this, like fellowships and short-term work is a fantastic way of sort of jumping off. but when reporting on these issues, you suddenly realize that i speak from a place of incredible privilege, to be able to have the resources to allow me to meet these young people who are far less prospects and far more systematic problems to overcome. >> yeah. well, i want to take a look at some pictures we're getting right now. this is live nina pham walking out from her meeting with the president in the oval office. she looks fantastic. she looks healthy. we also learned nurse nina pham is free.

ebola virus. really exciting stuff there. we can see her walking out from the white house. she just met with president obama. president obama, obviously, wanting to meet with her and also to show that he is on top of what's going on with ebola in this country. so, exciting to see those pictures of nina pham looking so well there. ladies, looking at the u.s. here, what sort of policy, what should our politicians be doing to help, lauren, young people like yourself? >> you know, i think -- i'm based in the middle east and cover much of africa. at the end of the day i think there needs to be a political will. i don't want to paint a grim picture, but you have individuals across the world who are trying to fill in these institutional gaps through entrepreneurship, through creative methods. at the end of the day, i think it needs to be a very bottom-up approach. >> absolutely. make sure politicians aren't standing in weight of that. thank you both so much.
