. >> the mind goes back to jesse jackson's campaign. he went in 84 and 88. remember the question being asked a thousand times. as a matter of fact, it was news week or time magazine. one of the magazines put it on the cover of the magazine. the question was what does jesse want? couldn't be that he was running to be elected but what does he want. i posedhç the question to the hispanic community. what does the hispanic community want? >> at the last meeting -- >> yeah. >> exactly. >> it's actually not a particularly radical set of requests. what latinos want is what americans want. they want a decent job. they want their kids to go to quality schools that are if he can nif teaching. safe streets, affordable health care. that's really the base needs of a community that's still heavily blue collar and heavily working class. not unlike other working class communities of color and among whites. these basic necessities are still the central demand of politics that latinos are focused on. >> what does it mean then that those demands on the part of the hispanic comm

with all due respect, go to this conference and words attributed to jesse jackson by commissioner suarez, those of us who laughed knew that the connotation was having to do with a disparaging reference to jesse jackson's race. the suggestion was that black people, which is the stereotype i grew up with and many over 50 did complaian't swim. and this is the innuendo that was embedded in what was a pretty clever joke associated with jesse jackson that had two or three different meanings. and those of us who thoughts of clever or funny have to really examine ourselves and ask ourselves what it was that made that joke so funny. based upon our own experience and what we heard around the dinner table and on the school yard. and when we answer that question honestly, then an appreciation for the beauty and subtlety of i innuendo i think would be made even more than fest. it's here to stay. clever people know how to touch the hearts and minds of others by the language and choice of words that they use. as a matter of fact, it's called dog whistling. dog whistling is a popular term in politics no

i don't know about jesse jackson but i can imagine. you got the first african-american presidential candidate who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. i'm glad i didn't say that. san quentin. and another honest revelation, senate majority leader harry reid found comfort in obama having no negro dialect. again, glad i didn't say that. by the time the obama emerged as a national candidate every newsroom in america will talk with people that thought like kerry reid and joe biden. it's harder to calculate their attitudes towards race, but the collective media indulgence of well spoken black liberals and i will say this absolutely black conservatives gets no such. they get the opposite, the opposite treatment. ask clarence thomas or herman cain. they ask them about that, but liberals who speak and act and sound and e-echo what the white liberals say get their incredible task in america's newsrooms and that is a major factor of making obama who he was and how he could get away with things no one else could get away with

the mother of ebola patient, thomas eric duncan, joined by civil rights leader, jesse jackson, said that her son is waging a fierce battle. [ unintelligible ] he didn't know that he was sick. >> duncan remains in critical condition. and doctors say that he's on a ventilator and receiving kidney dialysis. his liver function declined over the weekend, but he has improved. he's being treated with an experimental drug, which until now had only been used in a test tube. they're continuing to monitor the 48 people that were in contact with ebola while he was infectious. >> as of today, none of them are sick and none of them have a fever. and the we'll continue to watch that very closely. >> the cdc director said that the agency is responding to president obama's request to review screening procedures at the port of entry and will announce changes in the coming days. meanwhile, the cdc is making changes in several countries. train workers have screened 36,000 air passengers leaving west africa. >> of those, about 77 had either fever, in the case of 74, or symptoms that made us take them off of

reverend jesse jackson and local clergy spent time with the family today, sharing a message of hope andupport. >> thomas today needs love and medical treatment. >> reporter: we know he is being treated with the experimental drug prinbrincidofovir. the same day, his condition dropped from serious to critical. >> the hospital released a statement saying the patient was intubated, meaning they're on a respirator to support breathing, on dialysis, kidney dialysis to support his kidney functions and he has received experimental treatment. >> reporter: a daf after walking off a medevac jet that rushed him from liberia to omaha, doctors are treating ashoka mukpo with the same experimental treatment as duncan. in an effort to get through a global crisis that president obama has called a national security priority, as many as 4,000 u.s. troops are now being sent to africa. >> the military focus is on providing logistics, training and engineering support. >> reporter: while here at home, national security and health teams are mapping out a new strategy that will likely include a stepped up screen

last night, jesse jackson had been in the hospital, visiting with the doctors and came on the show and was going through the signs on the improvement on the kidney and fever side of things. and then things seemed to quickly take a turn for the worse? >> reporter: right. and that is not unusual with this disease. things can get better and worse very quickly. and i know the family and reverend jackson have questions about what happened with his care. why he had to wait for a week to get an experimental medication when other patients in the u.s. got it pretty much immediately. they want to know why he didn't get blood donated by an ebola survivor so maybe the antibodies could help boost his system. his girlfriend had this to say in a statement. i trust a thorough examination will take place regarding all aspects of his care. and erin, it was interesting. this was a long statement and she thanked many people. the judge who has overseen the effort, thanked community leaders, her pastor, she did not thank the doctors and nurses here. >> a very crucial thing. she want there to be a thorough e

reverend jesse jackson said such a move would send the wrong signal about what needs to be done to fighthis outbreak. >> it is a crisis. we should not panic and begin to do irrational things in reaction. we had the sars crisis. we did not panic. we had the mers crisis. we should quarantine the disease, not quarantine nations and airline flights, for example. we should not panic. >> meantime the dallas apartment where the patient stayed with family members in dallas was in the news this week. you may remember as crews in hazmat suits finally cleaned it up with the neighbors watching. this took several days to decontaminate it fully. you see the neighbors there. but there may be a better way of zapping out dangerous germs. george powell reports. >> from fears about the ebola virus, enterovirus and even the common cold. >> this machine will clean this room entirely. >> in just 15 minutes. >> they've met their match. a robot with bursts of ultra bright light after the room is cleaned. affectionately named amber. this has been part of the cleaning crew for two years now. shuttled room to room

his family a little bit ago walked inside the hospital, accompanied by reverend jesse jackson to meetth doctors and hear about his condition. we don't know if they'll be able to see duncan today. >> one other question because we are still in that critical time period for close contacts of mr. duncan to potentially develop symptoms. five dallas schools that have begun using touch-free scanning thermometers on students. what do we know about that circle of people around mr. duncan and what's being done with them? >> reporter: there were 48 people who had some kind of contact with duncan, including ten people who had direct contact. that's seven medical workers and three family members. all of those 48 people are being closely monitored, including temperature checks two times a day, fever, of course, one of the first symptoms of ebola, first indicators of that infection. so far, no one has shown any signs or symptoms of developing the illness. authorities say this monitoring is key right now to shutting down the potential spread of ebola in the u.s. >> thank you very much. >>> now, as th

this morning they were joined by the civil rights leader reverends jesse jackson who came to dallas thisning at the behest of the family he says he arrived to offer comfort and to bring humanitarian support and to dampen any fears there are in the community. michael. >> obviously the c did. cdc and text health officials are still monitoring those that came in to contact with mr. duncan. how is that investigation going? >> reporter: local investigators say they have full control of the situation and they say that their contract tracing has been successful. >> in dallas, there are 10 definite and 38 possible contacts, monitored. each and every one of them is having their temperature monitored, as of today, none of them are sick. none of them has a fever. we'll continue to watch that very closely in the coming days. >> reporter: now, as you heard earlier, the cdc said it's developing other protocols for screenings at u.s. ports of entry which it says it will be ready to announce in the think cog days, they also reminded us that screening conduct the by the cdc has been ongoing in west afric

reverend jesse jackson and local ergy spent time with the family today, sharing a message of hope and support. >> thomas today needs love. >> yes. >> and medical treatment. >> reporter: we now know that duncan is being treated with the experimental drug, brincidofovir, an anti viral medicine he first received saturday, the same day his condition dropped from serious to critical. a day after walking off a medevac jet rushed him from liberia to omaha, doctors are treating freelance journalist mukpo with the same drugs used on duncan. >> he's holding himself and said i'm going to get through this. >> reporter: in an effort to get through a global crisis that president obama has called a national security priority, 4,000 u.s. troops are being september to africa. >> the military focus is on providing logistics, training, and engineering support. >> reporter: while here at home, national security and health teams are mapping out a new strategy that will likely include a stepped up screening process in at least four major u.s. airports. >> all of these things make me confident that here in

in a visit to support dockets extended family, the reverend jesse jackson expressed concerns about his treatment. of eric duncan, the concern here is that we see him as a patient and not as a liberia and he was in with a great reputation. he assisted a woman who was pregnant to get health care. she died. no one knew she had the ebola. she came -- he came to america to mar without feeling any symptoms of sicknessry. he came in with straight home to be with his family. if you had knowledge of this disease, he would not have done that. nothomas eric duncan has health insurance. you was initially sent home from a dallas hospital despite telling a nurse he had been to liberia. he was readmitted by ambulance four days later. four of his relatives have in quarantine. dozens others whom he may have come in contact with are being monitored. an american journalist being treated in nebraska after contracting ebola in liberia is receiving the same experiment drug as duncan. , hejournalist, ashoka mukpo said to be in stable condition. the cdc says it is preparing to roll out tougher ebola screening

we do know that just yesterday, the reverend jesse jackson and a family member were here and said they saw small reasons to be hopeful. his temperature was normal, his blood pressure was going up, which in this case was a good thing. but i know they had a lot of questions, why was he sent home when he said he traveled to liberia and had signs of the disease? why did it take almost a week to get an experimental medication when other patients in the u.s., it happened much faster? why didn't he get blood donated from an ebola survivor as many other ebola patients have in this country? >> duncan's family, i know they're all pretty upset about what they thought was not necessarily the best treatment he was receiving. what are you learning about this? >> reporter: they had all those questions. when i spoke with the family members, they wanted to know, what happened? we showed up september 25th. he said he'd been traveling to liberia. he had a fever. he had abdominal pain, both signs of ebola. why wasn't he then admitted? he was admitted september 28th. for ebola, that's quite a bit of time b

the family joined faculty and staff here at the hospital for a prayer vigil led by the reverend jesse jackson who is advocating for the family. the family says even though there were misstarts in his care, they believe thomas is getting the best care possible now. the 48 people being monitored who came in direct or indirect contact with thomas during the time he was in dallas, they say that no one is getting sick, that they are -- that temperature and vital signs are all normal. the cdc says not one of them is ill. thomas, back to you. peter, back to you. >> i'll take it, charles, i appreciate it, thank you. we're joined now by the director of texas' new task force on infectious disease. we appreciate you being with us, doctor, thanks very much. >> my pleasure, good morning. >> i want your help on some information that effectively is breaking as we speak. a passenger from an american eagle flight is being checked out for ebola. after displaying flu-like symptoms. that plane landed last evening. ebola we understand is highly unlikely at least according to a release from midland city government
