me, they have to stay three feet away from me, and i am not symptomatic. there's no way i can give someone ebola. and you're telling me that i can't hug my friend after i have been fighting a really tough battle for four weeks in west africa. >> president obama is in maine today on a campaign stop, but yesterday criticized states that has ebola workers, he said the workers are heroes protecting this country. >> when i hear people talking about american leadership and then are promoting policies that would avoid leadership and have us running in the opposite direction and hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated. >> now, the defense department, however, is in favor of the quarantine, and is now isolating

troops that have been helping the fight against ebola in west africa. nbc's stephanie goss joins me from fort kent maine, she spoke with kaci, the nurse, when she came back home. what did she have to say? >> reporter: she came back, we asked her why she left this morning. she said we like to go on bike rides. we are friday to do that, i am free to do that. this morning, that's what she did. she got on the bike with her boyfriend, they went on probably a half an hour bike ride or so, then she came back. she was followed by the state police trooper that continues to stay here, keep an eye on her. that trooper can't actually arrest her until there's a court order. now, the governor of maine, along with health officials, say they're seeking that court order. up until now, it is no longer in place, and kaci says she is not going to voluntarily stay in her house. she does not believe mandatory quarantine is necessary, and thinks the push for mandatory

quarantine is actually a violation of her constitutional rights and is borne out of fear and not based on science. tamron? >> interesting, as far as reaction to this bike ride, we heard anything immediately from city officials as you pointed out, they need this court order, said they would pursue it. she has made the first move here. >> reporter: she has. if you think about what she could have done and what she actually did, she went out on a bike ride, she did not go into any closed public places, certainly didn't get on any public transportation. it was definitely a statement to be sure, but it was not something that was going to really upset necessarily the general public. but she has said she's free to move around. we notice when she got back, she and her boyfriend had a conversation with the chief of police in her driveway and then they went back inside. >> quickly, what kind of support is she getting. we have a new poll out that

shows 80% want u.s. citizens quarantined if they have been to west africa. that's a new poll out today. what kind of support is she getting in her hometown? >> reporter: well, she's getting some immediate support here in her neighborhood. one of her neighbors dropped off maple syrup with a note saying if you need anything, give us a call, but that's not the kind of support we have been seeing online and in social media. she's criticized by a lot of people that reflect that 80% number. she says this is a statement that's bigger than her because of that, because there's such reaction in the country of fear that her coming out, she's trying to temper that, send a message that mandatory quarantines are not necessary. >> thank you. let's turn to politics. with five days before election day, senator rand paul is getting stunningly candid about his party's problems, the image problems. the hill newspaper reports yesterday senator paul was speaking at a gop field office in detroit and told the crowd,

quote, the republican party brand sucks, so people don't want to be a republican. a perceived image problem could also be hurting democrats as a new poll, new pew poll finds democrats seeing a significant drop in support from hispanic voters, while republicans are gaining support. also making headlines today, a promising poll from wisconsin, governor scott walker, according to marquette law school is leading his challenger, mary burke, by seven points. and in the battle for senate, bill clinton returning to the bluegrass state to stump for allison grimes, out with a new ad, featuring the 42nd president. >> this is a good place. >> this is a really good place. you're good people. whatever your politics are, you deserve to be represented by somebody who cares more about you than the people who have

gotten us in trouble in washington in the first place. >> also making a cameo in that ad, former presidential candidate mitt romney, throwing his support behind tom tillis. >> if you want to shake up washington, your candidate is tom tillis. tom will roll up his sleeves and go to work on solving the mess of obamacare and help our struggling economy create good jobs. >> let's bring in our political panel today, "the washington post" national political reporter knee a mal eek henderson, and patrick crowley, former columnist who covered kentucky politics over two decades. thank you all for joining me. start with the president will be in maine today at the time that the headlines surround this nurse are picking up. she has defied this quarantine order and went out on a bike ride a short time ago. the president is there campaigning. let's talk about the timing and

some of the criticism he received from republicans about the handling of the ebola crisis and other national issues they want to bring into the mid terms. >> yeah. i mean, it has been -- i think he sort of had a slow start in terms of dealing with ebola, but over the last couple days he's really been very much on the offensive here and really framing the debate in a different way than people expected. certainly in a different way from where americans are, 80% as you said want that quarantine. he has come out yesterday flanked by all of the health care providers, some of whom treated ebola patients in trying to frame differently, wrapping this in american exceptionalism. now he is going to maine in the middle of a tough governor's race there, and so the timing is difficult i think in terms of ebola and nationalizing this

campaign. when you nationalize this campaign, democrats seem to be on the losing end of that debate. >> it is interesting, roger as pointed out by the first read team, we are talking a lot about the senate, but the gubernatorial race as in maine could be the big difference here. the first read team puts it this way. one big difference between 2006 and 2014, the opposition party is going to see some of its governors go down in defeat. let's put up the full screen of what they said. they say this time around it is possible that several republican governors could go down in defeat, suggesting that the overall political mood is more anti-incumbent for either party rather than anti-obama or anti-democrat. what do you think of that? >> i agree with that. i think a number of republican governors are going to lose. the problem is that there is no national body of governors. there are associations, but

governors don't get together and vote on national legislation. and so if you have a national party agenda which both the democrats do and the republicans do, gaining more governors don't help that agenda all that much. now, they do impact the fates of the people that live in their states and it is better to have a governor than lose a governor, and governors form a team for future presidential candidates, but i sort of guarantee you on election night, all of the concentration, 90% of the concentration of the media is on who wins the senate, not who has the most governors. >> absolutely. let's transition that to patrick. you've covered as you pointed out politics for so long in kentucky. first, let's talk about senator rand paul's comments regarding the party and in his words, the republican party sucks. has an image problem.

>> well, that's been his -- paul has been a bit of an outlier with the party, and challenged them on some of their positions. to say the party, the brand sucks less than a week before the election when you're trying to take the senate, the timing is a little interesting on that, but he is coming to kentucky next week, will campaign with senator mcconnell day before the election, so that will be good for mcconnell. rand paul is popular in the state, mcconnell typically does a fly around, hit several media markets in one day, paul will be with him on that. >> i would imagine while he is campaigning for senator mcconnell, people would certainly ask about the comments. let me read more of what he said. he said for 80 years, african americans have had nothing to do with republicans. why? because of a perception, the problem is the perception is that no one in the republican party cares. we are fighting 40 years of us doing a crappy job of republicans not trying at all for 40 years.

so if you're mitch mcconnell, out with rand paul, yes, he is popular, but these comments may certainly upstage any traction senator mcconnell may have in the race. >> well, i don't know if it is going to hurt his traction. we will see a lot of headlines and media reports about that. paul has done this, just a few months ago, i am from northern kentucky, part of the state that's a suburb of cincinnati. rand paul came and spoke to urban league, gave a similar discussion. had speeches like this in louisville, kentucky, with a large african-american population. it has been his platform, but it will ding up mcconnell and there will be a lot of questions. i don't know if it is enough to -- >> one more quick question. >> enough to derail him. >> bill clinton campaigning there today, his fourth stop in kentucky. real clear politics has his approval rating around 53%. also have mitch mcconnell at

46%. allison grimes 41%. what are you hearing as far as the clinton factor? >> hillary clinton is coming saturday to northern kentucky, to campaign for grimes. she has been here before. the clintons are popular in kentucky. bill carried kentucky twice, last democrat to do so. hillary clinton did well in the primary. if you remember in '08, barack obama had the race won, hillary clinton carried kentucky. some parts of the state got 90% of the vote. it will help her. the fact that grimes is coming to northern kentucky again, a very conservative area, and mcconnell has done well here in the past, she's coming to northern kentucky saturday shows grimes has a chance to cut into one of mcconnell's biggest bases of support, northern kentucky suburbs. >> roger, let's go back to new hampshire quickly with senator jeanne shaheen, out with a new web ad hitting scott brown on jobs and his commitment to new hampshire.

what are you hearing on the ground as polls have kind of been influx but tight race for her. >> it is a very tight race. the polls are influx, depending which poll you read. i've never seen an election more poll driven than this one. not only have polls, we have people who just make money interpreting the polls. shaheen is in some trouble there. new hampshire is going to be a critical state. you know, i think she's going to have to scramble to hold on to it. but she can eek it out. >> and nia, we have new polling, shows charlie crist up in that gubernatorial race in florida as well. what's your take as these new numbers are in that showed previously a dead heat. now the quinnipiac poll shows crist leading rick scott 43, 40%. >> polls, polls, polls. all the races are neck in neck.

you find one you might be up, probably in the margin of error. we're not going to know about these races until election day. of course some we won't know about until january. >> thank you all for your time. greatly appreciate it. thank you. we have breaking news in now. these are live pictures coming from wichita, kansas. our local affiliate there, ksn tv is reporting that emergency crews are responding to the mid continent airport for an airport emergency. they say a plane apparently crashed into a building at the airport. one person is in critical condition. we will bring you more information. you see that dark plume of smoke just over the horizon there, we are working to get more information. right now as it stands, indication is that there may be a plane crash at the airport in wichita, kansas. we will be right back. up next, chris christie and the latest developments there, the governor loses his cool when a former councilman confronts

him about unspent money meant to help people recover from hurricane sandy. >> so listen, you want to have the conversation later, i'm happy to have it, buddy. but until that time sit down and shut up. >> now the man that sparked the outburst is speaking out to msnbc, and attorney general eric holder has harsh words for whoever is leaking details of the grand jury investigating michael brown. one of the stories we thought you should know today. and apple ceo tim cook is proud to be gay, the head of a fortune 500 company. he doesn't plan to talk about it much more. join the conversation online. find me on facebook and twitter and instagram. we asked composites horizons to map their process, they were a little bit skeptical. 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?

a quick update to breaking

news we brought you before the break. we are learning that one person is in critical condition after a plane crashed into a building. this is kansas, wichita, kansas, our local affiliate there reports that emergency crews are responding to the mid continent airport for an airport emergency. they say a plane crashed into a building at the airport. one person now in critical condition. if we get more information this hour, we will bring those details to you. and video of chris christie, ang rily lashing out at a heckler getting attention. not just in new jersey. he was speaking at an event about superstorm sandy. when confronted, one of many recent dustups involving the governor, nbc kelly o'donnell has the details. >> reporter: well, good to see you, tamron. i have been following governor

christie, traveling with him. there are always some hecklers and critics shouting from the street corner, around h his events. what's different, it was the second anniversary of superstorm sandy, a day was supposed to be more solemn in tone. had a number of other events. when he got to this particular event, one man had something to say, would not sit down, and it got very loud. >> got the picture. i read it. >> reporter: that sign could have read trouble. a heckler that picked his spot for full effect. >> somebody like you doesn't know a damn thing about what you're talking about, except to stand up and show off when the cameras are here. i have been here when the cameras aren't here, buddy, and done the work. >> reporter: he barked back over the pace of hurricane sandy relief, when he would not relent, christie's fuse ignited. >> turn around, get your 15 minutes of fame, then take off your jacket, roll up your

sleeves, do something for the state. you want to have the conversation later, happy to have it. until that time, sit down and shut up. >> reporter: christie's week is a series of battle grounds, tang egg with nurse hickox over quarantine conditions. >> i don't have any concerns about that, she had a tent inside. all kinds of malarkey honestly about this. >> reporter: to verbal towel snap he delivered in a live today interview when matt referred to the nurse's lawyer as talented. >> you used the word talented, matt, not me. >> reporter: to officials that loudly criticized his rules. >> they don't want to admit they're wrong. >> reporter: and the latest pop culture judgment from jon stewart. >> when she has time for reflection, she will understand it. >> why does christie have to be such a [bleep] about everything. >> reporter: on the campaign trail, christie said he felt no political back lash.

>> i don't worry too much about public perception. depends on the day day to day if they love you or hate you. >> reporter: part of the comments is the pace. between now and tuesday, hits 19 states working on behalf of other republican candidates. this was the anniversary of superstorm sandy. there are a lot of questions in new jersey about what is left, yet to be done. what has been unfinished in the wake of that storm with so many homes still not repaired, so many of those effected by the storm not back home. that man that was a protester is a former councilman, involved in a nonprofit group, lives in the area, has been regularly making this pitch. and he was able to do it in a way that got a lot of attention, then he also talked to us. his name is jim keating. >> it only took a year and 45 days to build the empire state building, and we can't get a one story home raised six feet?

it is a failure of government. >> reporter: so this is an on-going debate about whether the christie administration has been a responsible steward of the federal money that's coming in to try to help the victims and whether enough has been done. this puts politics in terms of public discourse, public dissent at its finest in the video age. >> and by the numbers, the relief number, 1.1 billion in the program, shy of 300 million has been distributed to effected families. that was at the heart of what the former city council member was attempting to bring up during that confrontation. we will see what happens. thank you very much, kelly. pleasure having you on. >> thank you. up next, apple ceo tim cook reveals he is gay in an emotional and personal announcement, says being gay is among the greatest gifts god has given to him. plus this. >> what's up, girl, how you doing? >> somebody's acknowledging you.

have the orange room, social media. the reaction, the instant reaction, overwhelming support and kept hearing the same comment, it is good to have this role model come out and be honest about who he is. tim cook says people shouldn't expect him to talk more about it. putting it out there, moving on. >> the importance of tim cook's announcement today is huge. it cannot be underestimated. you said this is a fortune 500 company. it is a fortune 5 company. apple is the fifth largest company on the fortune 500 list. it is the most valuable brand in the world. probably one of, probably the biggest brand in the technological sphere. here you have this high ranking business man, american business man that comes out and does something actually, that's what makes this so extraordinary. what doesn't make it extraordinary makes it somewhat unremarkable, what tim cook has done is something that people,

gay people have been doing across kitchen tables, with colleagues, with friends and family for decades. one conversation at a time. changing hearts and minds. changing the way people view things, and making it personal. it is not abstract, it is someone i know, someone i care about. that's why we have gone from a nation that ten years ago was dead set against something like same-sex marriage to 59% support for same-sex marriage and a majority of the states where marriage equality is legal. 32 states now. >> look at the mid terms, for example. it is not something that's at the top of even the most conservative republicans. wage a battle. i am intrigued by the choice of words, including the spiritual tone of his remarks, saying this is one of the greatest gifts from god that he has received. >> this is a very personal he s essay, not a long one, crisp, concise. says everything he wants to say.

he is someone who has not, never been ashamed of who he is. he believes that this is a natural part of him. hence, i think he is saying that this is one of the greatest gifts god gave him. he is making the point that he is gay, he is a businessman, he is a loving friend, colleague, family member, someone who has a belief in a higher power, belief in god, and he wants to go back to just being tim cook. >> but i have to also ask you, he wants to go back to being tim cook, he says he is not an activist and he does not, he wants to focus on his talents he can bring to apple. you and i both know when you're a minority and have a certain amount of fame, celebrity or power, people often want you to represent your group, your cause. he is saying i want to remain in the shadows. what do you think of that, and given his power and his ability to change minds, hearts, and

policy. >> let's keep something in mind. tim cook in the shadows is not like me, jonathan capehart in the shadows, tim cook is a huge business man. tim cook being tim cook is all the leadership we need. >> jonathan, thank you for joining us. greatly appreciate it. up next, jeb bush takes a jab at hillary clinton. >> former secretary of state who was campaigning in massachusetts where she said don't let them tell you that businesses create jobs. >> we'll have more of what jeb bush said. is this the start of 2016 battle? nbc senior political editor mark murray is next. ial tomorrows a reality for over 19 million people.

wichita. on the phone, ryan weatherby, in front of the flight safety building. are you there? >> i am. >> what did you see? >> basically just a ton of black, thick smoke rolling out of the building where the airplane crashed on top of. the airplane was in flames for quite awhile. probably a good 30 minutes. fire crew is here now. the fire is diminished now. nothing left of the airplane at all. >> are you familiar with the building that's on fire that the plane crashed into? do you know that building? >> it is the flight safety building. >> so it is the flight safety building. >> yes. >> where are you in proximity to that building? >> across the street. >> across the street now.

what are you seeing? we have some images up now. we can see the smoke coming from the building. what do you see as far as evacuation of people. anything going on? >> trying to get out of the area. i don't have a lot of information on evacuation of that basically. >> i have an airplane detailing company. >> did you see the plane as it was having trouble in the air or saw the impact? >> no, did not see it in the air. right after it happened. >> and you said the plane itself was on fire. and you saw the immediate chaos following that. >> oh, yeah. >> right now, we're hearing that ten people are unaccounted for. do you know about how many people work in that flight

safety building? >> i don't, honestly. >> is it a large building? >> fairly large. if i had to guess, there's probably 600, 700 people work there, i don't know. >> and ryan, right now, we see a number of emergency personnel in and around that building. do you see if they have people coming across the street where you are for safety? i see you have a few people standing near a police vehicle. are they having folks go across the street near where you are for safety? >> they did, yeah, they pushed everybody out this way. >> well thank you so much, ryan, for joining us. again, we are working to get more details here. right now, what we do know as reported by our local affiliate, as you heard from eyewitnesses, a small plane crashed into this flight safety building at the midcontinental airport in

wichita, kansas. it is a twin engine beach craft, lost an engine on takeoff, then hit the two-story building. it is not clear whether they were inside the building. we know one person is in critical condition. we will continue to follow that developing story out of kansas. we also have some sad breaking news from boston. our nbc affiliate in boston is reporting that boston's long serving mayor tom menino has passed away. 71 years old, had been battling cancer. joining me now, senior political editor mark murray. mark, obviously people knew mayor menino had been in poor health and had been watching him deal with this for some time. but it is very sad news. an icon in that city. and of course many people in boston have strong feelings

about mayor menino. >> absolutely. he had been battling cancer, out of office over the past year, ended up having a successor, but a very big fixture in that city, in democratic politics. you mention, longest serving mayor that boston has had. there's just a tremendous amount of change in boston, really taking it from a regional northeastern city into a global city with all of its resources that it has. i as a reporter remember covering tom menino at the 2004 democratic convention, it was the convention that nominated john kerry to be the democratic party, but that was the tom menino show. he was a big presence at that political convention and will be greatly missed. >> absolutely. as we pointed out, he started out, was president of boston city council. he was president of united states conference of mayors from 2002 to 2003.

and was the current co-chair, co-founder of mayors against illegal guns. so despite even battling cancer, he stayed very active, remained engaged in politics, so his legacy is very long, and the people of boston and quite honestly outside of boston, mourning the loss of thomas michael menino. we will have more on that after the break. we will be right back. so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers. conveniently stay up to date on progress. and effortlessly turn your photos into finished projects with our snapfix app. visit angieslist.com today. ♪ remember, the open enrollment period is here. the time to choose your medicare coverage

>> for real? >> hey, baby. >> so the video was sponsored by an advocacy group trying to combat street harassment. the group says the woman in the video was cat called over 100 times in ten hours. joining me now, the co-founder and executive director and shoshana roberts, the actress seen in the video. thank you so much for joining me. you're an actress, in reality, you were just walking down the street, what you do at any given time. >> that was a difficult day for me unfortunately, and all places i normally walk, and all types of people who always call out to me unfortunately. >> since you point out this happens all the time to you, walking around the city streets, you knew you were being filmed. did you ever imagine that the volume of cat calls that you would experience over ten hours? >> quantifying it is blowing my

mind. i cannot fathom the numbers myself, and i experienced it. granted, i'm not aware of all of them in my mind, thinking back to sexual harassment and sexual assault i have had in my past. >> a lot of them, the man walks alongside of you. what were you thinking, especially when they follow you and were right next to you. >> i mean, i was scared. i was thinking of my martial arts training i had since i was nine. i was thinking of my acting teachers who teach me composure and who have given me all of the tools i needed to focus on my goal, creating this debate. >> emily, where was the camera positioned here? a lot of people asked that. >> yeah, this was created by ron bliss, not by us. he had a camera in his backpack actually, it was a go pro. >> it was strapped to his back. there was a t-shirt over it with

a hole cut in it. >> so he is walking along, filming this. what does this mean for your organization and your group to have this now hit 15 million times. >> yeah. i mean, it means that we really hit a nerve. really hit a nerve. we had so many people reach out and say thank you so much for telling this story. this story is for sure shoshana's story but resonates with many women around the world. >> my reaction was i am still surprised people were surprised. i hate to say it. it is not like cat calling. if you watch any show, for example, that's based in new york, the famous scene is the lady walking down and the construction worker, because that was the stereotype of the guy who does it would be seen cat calling. is it the volume and quantity as you pointed out? >> as women we experience it all the time. a lot of the response has been from men who are like i heard of

this thing called street harassment, i had no idea it was this big a deal. >> and the video creator, rob bliss, i guess he was asked why most people in the video are black and latino seen in the final edit. his statement was we got a fair amount of white guys. but for whatever reason, a lot of what they said was in passing or off camera. the final product is not a perfect representation of everything that happened. so shoshana, some worried it was a stereotype of a certain guy. >> i am telling my story. people saw a few minutes. there were ten hours of footage. i can tell, i am a professional in my story. i can talk about my story all day long. my experience, this happens from white men, from black men, asian men, latino men. they all just -- the fact that you have male genitalia puts you in that category. i can't think of any other common factor between these people. >> hopefully this is a break
