let's bring in a psychiatrist from langone center. and also, former fbi profiler and msnbc analyst clint van zandt. could more have been done to stop this given that police had three prior contacts with elliot rodger and the last one at the request of the therapist, and this is what the sheriff of santa barbara had to say. >> the deputies contacted him directly at his residence, and they determined that he did not meet the criteria for an involuntary mental health hold. he was, as i said, courteous and polite and appeared timid and shy. >> all right. so was there more that the police could have done? it does not appear that they checked the youtube videos that had the family concerned or his room and no reason of concern for them. >> well, from the law enforcement side, the police deputy sheriffs, these are not the mind police. they go with the information they have and they sit down with the individual and try to find out if he presents a threat to himself or others, and he was evidently able to explain away his behavior. look, even

ken langone said i can imagine hillary running against jeb.e media guys would have. ready for another bush, another afghanistan, another iraq are, ready for another collapse of the banking system. that's a lot of baggage. we always talk about in prima primaries how the voters balance the electable person with tear instincts that this is pure. there is an lec electability argument against jeb. the republican and democratic primaries, i wish we could have at the end of the day the big money, the smart money. that's likely to be bush and clinton. >> in terms of of the democratic side, beth you were talking about it saying there was a difference between what happened under george bush. to the extent there is resistance to the requested of a dynasty, when you look at the polls on the democratic side we say hillary clinton was a front runner like we had never seen. >> our nbc news wall street journal poll says hillary has no problem with the base. despite the flurry around elizabeth warren you hear from time to time that hillary clinton could get a

marc siegel, professor of the medicine, nyu langone medical center and member of fox news medical a-teaming. we're starting to learn about this. the early days of sars, bird flu, all the different viruses we covered over past 10 years, it is an education in the process. what dowhat do we need to learnw about this? >> first we need to stick to the science and stay away from the fear. that is always been the problem. that was the problem with sars back in 2003. if this is very similar virus to sars and it is also very similar to the common cold. it is called a corona virus. can get it by touching surfaces. can get it by sneezing and coughing on each other. that is the kind of virus it is. you know something? it is very hard to transmit. that is the good news. more good news? it hasn't changed genetically since 2012. it is not mutating all over the place and becoming more dangerous. bill: that we know of. >> that we know of. fair enough. bill: a person has it. breathe on another person, touch another person, that is how you come in contact? >> close contact. not just touching somebody but r

i don't know where langone is. they're wealthy people. we're in new jersey. probably a lot of them are governor christie supporters. there's plenty of time. >> if he jumps in, do you think his brother would say that on tv that way and encourage him so publicly if he didn't think there was a real chance? >> because of his father, right? >> was it his father or the brother? >> i thought it was his father. >> i thought it was w. >> on cnn. >> oh, it was w. >> i could be wrong. >> looking at the body language, i think he's interested. i think he's thinking about what it would do to, you know, i guess his family and everything else. you can see he may be looking at it but he's still, becky, common core or immigration, that's what's so refreshing. some people would have thought that was a mistake or a foot in mouth moment with saying that it's an act of law. >> not at uhl. >> that made him more human and endearing and more compassionate which maybe the republican party can use a little of. don't you think, andrew? you always point that out. >> yes. >> i do but you

sue varma is at nyu langone medical center. so many warning signs that pointed to this what would happen in this tragedy. but things that were missed. but the parents were very aware of what was going on with their child. in fact, he had been undergoing professional mental health treatment since he was about 7 years old. so in your mind, what can we learn from this experience? >> yes. i feel like it really does take a community to help people who have mental illnesses. once or twice a week, weekly therapy is not going to be enough. it's important to notice that there are certain warning signs. anger, social isolation, poor relatedness, inability to self-regulate and control those emotions, a history of perhaps impulse control problems. we also have issues with layers of care. so the options should not be seeing your therapist once a week or being institutionalized. there are levels of care of partial day hospitalizations. when you have somebody who's so intelligent, articulate, high functioning who can really fly under the rada
