good morning, everyone. i'm tamron hall. a jury has reached a verdict in the federal trial of a friend of boston marathon bombing suspect dzhokar tsarnaev. he was found guilty on two counts of lying to investigators. he was in dzhokar tsarnaev's dorm room when two other friends removed a pack back several days after the 20153 attacks. he later admitted to lying. his defense maintains he was scared and under the influps.

the two other friends have already been convicted of obstructing justice. again, that breaking news into us just now. developing right now chris christie remains defiant after being criticized for putting a nurse who cared for ebola patients into mandatory quarantine. governor christie denied his actions were politically motivated with the mitt terms a week away and the policy will not change. >> the cdc has been behind on this. we're not going to have folks being infected in new jersey and other states in this country. this is a nonpartisan issue. here is the bottom line as governor. my first responsibility is to protect the public health and safety of the people of new jersey. i will not submit to any political pressure. >> nurse kaci hickox was released yesterday after publicly criticizing her treatment and threatening a lawsuit. she's back home in maine.

also today amber vinson, is the second dallas nurse infected with ebola. she will be released from emery university hospital. in a news conference in a couple of hours. joining me live is sara dallof live at bellevue hospital. we're expecting an update on dr. craig spencer. at last word he entered a different phase of the virus affecting his body. we should learn more soon. >> we should, tamron. at last update he was in serious but stable condition. he had accepted that plasma transfusion very well from nancy writebol. we're expecting to hear a little bit more today. she's entering his fifth day of treatment. this as debate swirls about the mandatory quarantine orders being put into place in more than a half dozen states. you mentioned nurse kaci hickox.

she's back in maine, at an undisclosed location. she's going to rewait out the remain of the 21-day quarantine. what more than the half dozen states issuing the mandatory quarantine. no one is consistent. the cdc responded. they have released new guidelines they are suggesting that states follow and these guidelines actually break people down into four risk categories and suggest different type of care and monitoring based on the risk category. for example, someone in the high risk category would have come in direct contact with infected bodily fluids without wearing personal protective equipment. they would be asked to voluntarily quarantine themselves in addition to the twice daily monitoring checks by health officials. tamron, it is important to note that the cdc can only recommend the guidelines. they cannot enforce them.

>> which explains why the governor remains defiant about his stance. now to politics and president obama heading out hoping to have an impact in the final days of the midterm campaign. the president will visit six states by sunday. however, all but one of his appearances will be for democratic candidates for governor. just one will be for a senate candidate, that person gary peters in michigan, of course, which approaprompted the exchan yesterday's white house briefing. >> how many has he campaigned with this midterm election? >> there are a number of democratic senates with whom the president appeared. what you seen the president do is dead catti in-- dedicating h time. >> you don't agree that the president has been considered politically toxic? >> i do not agree with that assessment. >> let me bring in our political panel today. mark murray, democratic

strategies robert george zimmerman, anna palmer. mark, let's get to the headline. we saw the lay of the land. the president's calendar just one senate candidate. i don't think that's a huge revelation for anyone, but let's talk about that back and forth exchange from the briefing. what does it say for the president? >> well, tamron, it's indicative of a president's rating in the low how 40s. even if the president were in the top 50 he wouldn't be showing up in places like arkansas, alaska, even north carolina. those were states that he did not win in 2012. he did win north carolina in 2008. where you see some of the president obama's political difficulties here in the states he won in both 2008 and 2012. we're talking the iowa, colorado, a stronger president could definitely help out a mark udall in colorado or bruce braley in iowa. but president obama is facing that six-year inch that a lot of second term presidents often

face. he's not popular in those candidates who are tough re-election and tough races don't often want to be seen with him. >> robert, the headline from the washington post regarding the president's campaigning. this week obama only campaigning in places where people like him really, really like him. they may not like him. as with the case of kentucky where they like obamacare or connect. that hasn't been hit hard by allison lundergan grimes. >> that's an important point. we see a lot of discussion about our democrats with president obama are not. but the reality is democrats are with him on the important economic issues of pay equity, minimum wage. >> i don't quite concur. you see democrats running even in the republican states. you also see you alluded to. republicans are walking away from core conservative positions. minneapolis mcconnell saying he

supports kentucky connect. john in joses he was against obamacare but now he likes the medicaid expansion. scott brown saying he wants to keep the good things from obamacare. you see them retreat because the democratic message does resonate. >> let's look at the senate candidates from your party. how would you grade the strategy? just the way you rattled off some of the things you believe are key and maybe keeping the polls tight considering as mark pointed out. you have the six-yeari itch whih would affect the president. with that said, how would you rate the candidates overall the strategy? >> i think democrats have to be a lot less defensive. and a lot more proactive on the real accomplishments they have achieved in the senate. but i think the other issue here is you're seeing is george pointed out with great indignation that the democratic senate candidates have a double

digit higher approval rating than the president does in these republican states. because they're defining themselves as independent fighters for their states. and that's what is keeping them in the game. many respects giving them an advantage going in. >> let me bring you in, anna. new polls today. give us the latest snapshots. two key races in north carolina cay hagan with a 2 point lead over republican congressman tom tillis. after an nbc poll out sunday night showed the race to be in a dead heat. in louisiana, if we can show that. democratic senator mary landrieu seeking a fourth term has a single point lead over bill cassidy. but just like a poll yesterday, it indicates no one will get 50% of the vote. obviously you have a runoff situation there. >> certainly when you talk about obama here and the drag he's having on the races certainly what we've seen in north carolina is a kay hagan trying to make it a referendum on tom tillis, on the republican state legislature there. also in louisiana with mary

landrieu. it is almost certainly going to go to a runoff. '02 seeing it potentially happening in georgia. depending on how the tight races where the polls are within the margin of error. we might not know who is going to be in charge of the senate until january. >> that's when many are expecting. let me play a snippet. senator landrieu the debate. asked if she'll blame president obama if she loses. let me play the exchange. i've now worked with three presidents of various parties. some have been popular some have been unpopular. i won't blame anyone but myself. >> would you vote for harry reid? >> i'm going to make my decision, i'm going to make my decision on what is before me. >> you're not committing. >> i'm going to wait to see what the leadership looks like. i think harry reid gets beat up more than he deserves. and i'm not saying yes and i'm

not saying no. >> anna, that's not the only democrat who is saying that now. >> absolutely what you're seeing is the candidates try not to step in the say way that allison lundergan grimes. they're kind of, you know, threading the needle here carefully where they're not necessarily against obama or not against harry reid but trying to say they're going to wait and weigh their options as a way to give them an out in the issues where they don't want to haven a attack ad saying they're supporting obama or harry reid. >> it's interesting. like wise in georgia the republican candidate is also not public said he's going to vote against mitch mcconnell. i think it's a smart tactic for both. the campaign for democrats to make it work cannot be about harry reid or president obama. it's about how they can best fight for their states. that's got to be the focus and the economic issues are really going to define this election.

>> it's interesting, mark, what defines certainly is how some of these candidates perhaps align themselves with joe biden, for example. we have this moment that caught a lot of attention where the vice president was campaigning for bruce braley and that very hot race in iowa. his comments raised some eye brows on the heels of jeb bush's family, his son saying he would like to see his father run. let's play it. >> it's great to be here. i don't know how y'all are still standing. i tell you what, why don't you come on stage with me? i look out there in the field and the first thing that comes to mind is put me in, coach. >> i don't get what everyone is saying. he means let's get in. he wants to be in the game, he wants to run. i'm not exactly sure. you help me understand. go in your magic crystal ball, mark. >> i don't know what he was saying other than he was quoting

a popular 1980 pop song. put me in coach, i'm ready to play. there's going to be talk joe biden is in iowa. people is going to say is he maybe running for 2016? it's always in joe biden's interest to stoke those type of storylines. there's one thing worse than being a lame-duck president and that's lame duck vice president. the more joe biden saying i might be able to run for the presidency makes us pay attention. it puts him in the conversation. that's where he and his people want him to be even if he decides not to run and hillary clinton does. >> in iowa you have ernest, a relative unknown. no one knew her name a year ago. right now the latest poll shows that she is actually up by three-points in this race. it's still a battle but she's up by three points. bruce braley trailing by three points. they go back and forth. she's up right now.

>> she's up right now. clearly she has a trend at this point. we have a week to go. i can give you plenty of examples of republicans up in 2010 and 2012. when election day game because the democratic ground game democrats came out on top. too close to call. >> thank you. put me in coach, that doesn't mean i'm running for office. hannah, thank you. another hot political topic. the stop bill march from speaking campaign at the university of california berkeley. a group of students gathering signatures to keep the popular host from giving the commencement speech after his controversial comments about islam. >> the only religion that acts like the mafia that will [ expletive ] kill you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture, or write the wrong book. >> this is the "newsnation" gut check. we center thave two guests on b sides. vanished. a colorado father is missing for four days after disappearing

welcome back. tv host bill march's controversial comments about islam have sparked an online me toigs remove him as a commencement speaker. it was written by a group of students a the university and

gathered more than 2,000 signatures since friday. it states in part that mar is a blatant big got and racist who has no respect for the valuings of u.k. berkeley. mar had this to say about islam. >> it's the only religion that acts like the mafia that will [ expletive ] kill you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture, or write the wrong book. >> but not all students are against marr as commencement speaker. president of the berkeley college republicans said that though she may disagree with some of the views she has no issues with him. the "newsnation" reached out to the university for comment and have not heard back yet. joining me now is a free speech advocate and first amendment

attorney and author of "unlearning liberty." also with me abraham cooper, the communications director at the council on american islamic relations. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> so, greg, at this point 2,000 signatures the author of the petition said to the san jose mercury people say he has the right to freedom of speech. i agree with that. the problem is when you bring him to the university you pretty much are putting him into a privileged position. you're raising his voice. your reaction to that, greg? >> i think you can't understand this case without seeing the big picture. we've been following this what we call disinvitation season for years. that's the attempt by students and faculty member s to get speakers they dislike disinvited. >> condoleezza rice at rutgers. >> absolutely. it gets more intense every year.

we're sliding down the slippery slope. >> is there a difference here when you hear someone say we're sliding down a slippery slope when the petition, for example, points out some of the things that bill maher said about islam. dealing with hamas is like dealing with a crazy woman who is trying to kill you. you can only hold her wrists so long before you have to slap her. talk to women who have dated an arab man. the results are not good. >> first of all, he's wrong about what he says islam believes. we have issued statements on so called islam, refuting claims that islam demands you be killed if you and all that kind of thing. you can go our website and find those things. the key issue here is honoring and endorsing views that are g

bigouted and hate filled. she spoke many times around the country spewing anti-muslim bigotry. we haven't said a thing. when a university honors someone that's when we feel we have the right to stand up and say no! i don't want this person honored. i don't want their hate-filled views endorsed. that's the same situation with bill maher. he's being honored with a keynote address at the commencement. that's an endorsement of his views by the university and i think that creates a situation in which anybody can stand up and say no. that shouldn't happen. we're the first ones to defend freedom of expression. the first amendment. when the hate radio host michael savage was barred from england because of his views, we said no. you shouldn't bar people from a

country merely because of their views. even if they're hate filled. we stand for the first amendment but we also believe that the first amendment i can'ts us the right to say no, we don't want these kind of hate filled views endorsed and honored by institution of higher learning. >> let me show you the numbers. american numbers toward muslims 27% hold a favorable view. let's look, for example, at the one quote from bill where he said talk to a woman who dated an arab man, the results are not good. if you insert talk to a woman a woman who dated the black man the results are no good. it's not about free speech. it's about a privilege to speak at a university that is not a part of your constitutional right. >> my concern is we're teaching a generation to think like

sensor. they tend to fixuate on the one they dislike. they not just honored to speak at commencement but speak at all. what we're finding is students are coming to believe they should have freedom from speech as opposed to freedom of speech. that's not our position. our position if bill was invite the by a student group and he wanted to spew his anti-muslim hate, maybe we tell people to go and hand out literature or something like that. but we wouldn't ask that it be cancelled. but when he is being honored and endorsed by the university itself, that's when we believe you have the right to say no. not in our name. >> meanwhile universities are very careful about who they choose. they're very cautious. it's getting harder and harder to find someone that offends no one. >> when we were doing the story on condoleezza rice. the professor behind that and it

turned out to be a successful push to keep from her speaking. his and this is no discuss at all to governor christie or the boss bruce springsteen. rather than condi rice why not have springsteen? when you look at the legacy of condoleezza rice and the professor saying, well, let's bring in bruce springsteen. some might say you're looking at a taste of quality -- i don't want to get myself to too much here. you understand what i'm saying. >> it was the head of the imf. there was a disinvitation, chancellor berkeley, even james franco there was a disinvitation push against him. people argue there's a slippery slope. when you exclude speakers given their point of view. it leads to the problem. >> don't we have the right, the first amendment right to speak up and say no we don't want this

person here. isn't that a form of censorship that you're supposed to sit quietly while a -- that is honored and endorsed by the campus. we have the right to speak out. >> you have the right to protest a speaker. my concern is that students and faculty members go first to let's not have the person speak on campus. that's intelligently unhealthy. >> that's not what we're saying. >> and -- no, they're saying don't honor, don't endorse. if he came just on his own to speak on campus, who cares. >> yeah. but that's not the case. almost 50% of the examples i'm talking about are regular speeches that are students are -- >> we're talking today about bill maher. >> bringing it back, greg, i understand a broader conversation. you're right. bringing it back to the specific petition with the specific remarks here where do you stand on this case?

and certainly you're right. it's a broader conversation to your point about, you know, being intelligently open and because you disagree with what someone did or their stance, for example, condoleezza rice going back to rutgers, it doesn't mean the door should be closed with this specific kpachl and some of the quotes there and the concerns do you believe there's ever a valid time to have this conversation of whether or not if someone is seen as a quote, unquote, big got if they are needed at the keynote address or perhaps the university should pass. is there an appropriate time to pass? >> the fact that people disagree with him is the more reason to hear him out. it's an art that i feel is being lost on the campuses. what we should be teaching people is to at least hear people out before you try to get them kicked off campus. >> if they invited the grand dragon of the kkk -- >> so bill maher is the grand dragon of the kkk? >> we know that's not what he's

saying, greg. >> we're saying it can never be challenged. >> i think bill will have a hay day with that. >> that's a form of extremism on the own. >> let's be clear. i know, you know he's not saying that. he's not saying bill maher is the grand dragon. and the results are not good. i said insert black man and would people have the same thing? i'm certainly not -- >> he's called for racial profiling. >> i mean, it's just amazing in the debates how quickly speakers are likened to hitler and the grand dragon of the kkk. >> i'm using that as an example somebody would you endorse having that person speak and say nothing about it? if they were spewing the kind of things that the kkk or anti-semitism. >> let him answer. let's keep it on -- you know

bill is not the grand dragon. >> i support the right of students to protest and picket outside. my point is increasingly we want people not to speak in the first place. it's bad for the marketplace of idea. the problem is if you excludes people you don't want to hear from you transform -- >> that's not our position. our position is honoring and endorsing speakers. it should not be -- or you should be able to challenge that. honoring an endorsement. if they want to speak and spew hate. it's a free country. >> i appreciate you coming on. i'll use that tv language we like to say. thank you for the spirited conversation. >> thank you. the story is today's gut check. and already my twitter is on fire. some students say the first amendment gives maher the right to speak his behimind but not s an elevated flat form. based on the concerns do you think the university should rescind the invitation to bill

maher. we reached out to bill. a father's disappearance right now police are reviewing surveillance video from a denver game where a man vanished four days ago. the family is speaking out. plus, today's born in the usa. >> they're drummers, they're performers and now we want to translate the skills and the energy into a business. >> changing lives with ice cream? the owners of a brooklyn shop are teaching business skills and helping the economy in africa in this very unexpected way. it's a little bit of sweetness. are the largest targets in the world, for every hacker, crook and nuisance in the world. but systems policed by hp's cyber security team are constantly monitored for threats. outside and in. that's why hp reports and helps neutralize more intrusions than anyone... in the world. if hp security solutions can help keep

police in denver are scouring footage from last week's denver game in hopes of finding a nfl fan who vanished during the crowded game. the man was at the game with his stepson and friends. after halftime he never came

back to his seat. we have more from denver's mile high stadium. >> tamron, good morning. more than 75,000 people were packed into this stadium for denver's last game. among them a colorado father attending his first bronco's game who simply vanished seemingly without a trace. this morning there are no clues and his family is desperately appealing for help. missing at mile high. a colorado dad, paul kiterman, gone without a trace from an nfl stadium packed with tens of thousands of fans. it happened as the broncos played the chargers thursday night. >> he's somebody you count on to do whatever he need. if he knows we're waiting he'll be there. >> he wasn't there for his stepson junior red who was left waiting as the game ended and the crowd empties. this photograph of paul, jared, and the couple that invited them

was taken just before halftime. the last time they saw kiterman. >> he was happiest when jared was around. there's nothing to be wrong. >> it was a big night for the 53-year-old colorado rancher. his first broncos game. but as excited as he was, he never returned to his seat during the second half or the group's meeting place. >> we figured we would run into him. maybe he went to the truck. we would find him outside sitting on a bench outside the stadium. >> he didn't have a cell phone or any credit cards on him and he was only carrying about $50 in cash. denver police say there's no evidence of a crime. >> we're looking at tames and things like that to determine where he might have gone, obviously it's a mystery and we're not sure. >> those who know him say he's a stand up kind of guy. a hard worker with no known alcohol or drug problems. >> look at the tape from the stadium know, i think that might tell us something. >> this morning his friends and

son are separate for -- desperate for answers. >> i want him to know we're worried about him. for whatever reason he's gone just let us know he's okay. that's all. >> like most staid yumt, this is filled with cameras. stadium authorities have turned the recordings over to the denver police department who are reviewing them now. coming up bill clinton will campaign for democrats this morning in colorado. but influential republicans will also visit the state this week. up next, we'll dig into the colorado senate race with the midterms as you well know. we can say it together. one week away!

udall trailing republican congressman cory garner by a single point as he seeks a second term. both candidates are calling in heavy hitters in the final days. bill clinton is campaigning for senator udall today as he did yesterday and former florida governor jeb bush will campaign for cory gardener tomorrow. joining me live pollster and political analyst who focuses on colorado politics. the denver post put it this way. they endorsed cory gardener saying a dysfunctional congress calls for action when voters have an attractive ox option to the gridlock status quo and in colorado thankfully they do in cory gardener. it was a big surprise in the denver post. is that something you're hearing often? >> i think that endorsement was probably a game-changer. cory gardener had doing pretty well in late september and

october. but that really gave him some momentum. people are still talking about it. and as you read, the post sort of made a bet. that is that gridlock could be broken in washington or at least inhibited if somebody knew is sent. and that's been sort of gardener's main argument. and that is that we need to shake up washington that washington is the problem. and so that's definitely helped him. as the polling points out, this is probably a one or two point race but gardener at the moment, appears to have the momentum and possibly just a little bit ahead. >> as you know, much has been made about colorado's new voting law and whether it would have an impact or not for the first time. folks in that state can vote by mail. there's similar moves in washington and oregon as well. again, what are you hearing on the ground regarding the change? will there be any real impact there? >> well, we don't know for sure

but we certainly think so. for the first time mailing and have mailed three million ball lots. there's about 600,000 have been returned. and the democrats believe that this is the key to their winning the race. they may only win by 10 or 20,000 votes. they're convinced if they can focus on the voters who haven't turned their ballot back yet, and that would be latino voters, younger voters, single women, groups they feel they're doing well with in the polling, they can win this race inspite of the fact that it looks like they might be a little behind at this point. we're looking for a very busy remaining week with not only stars coming in, celebrities you mentioned, but tons of direct mail, cell phone calls and door to door activity. there are hundreds of people that are both either volunteering or being paid right

now to get out that vote. >> thank you very much. a great pleasure to have you on with your insight. to colorado politics and what is happening on the ground there with five days to go. coming up, of course, improving the economy and lives in rwanda. the owners of an award winning brooklyn ice cream shop. they reached out to help people on another continent in a very interesting way. it is today's born in the usa. for most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. but there's a new card in town. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay . with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. this is charlie. 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.
