we start, though, on the hill with luke russert. and you've been watching this since noon all along with us. give us some of the highlights. >> reporter: well, abby, in a hearing just under three hours, you saw quite an appearance, shall we say of folks who made it back from the campaign trail to actually participate in that hearing. cory gardner, two people with senate campaigns did appear. the main thing was how political it got. that seems to have been the partisan fault line here between republicans and democrats. calling for that travel ban, going after dr. frieden as to why they have not enforced it or brought it forward or considered it. and why -- whether or not he's advised the white house to take it under consideration. listen to his answers from the gop. >> borders can be porous. we won't be able to check them for fever when they leave, when they arrive. we won't be able to do as we do currently to take a detailed history to see if they were exposed when they arrive. when they arrive, we wouldn't be able to impose quarant

luke russert is here to talk about this. you have been crunching numbers.s unbelievable. >> remarkably, you could pay for 80 british general election campaigns with what's being spent on this year's midterms alone. there's concern about the roll money is playing in our politics with some even going as far as to argue our democracy is being bought and sold. 16 years ago the 1998 midterms cost $1.6. this year, $4 billion. outside groups spent $15 million on the '98. this time it's 67 times higher, over $1 billion. this year it will be just as high. that doesn't count so-called dark money whose sources and donors never have to be disclosed or won't be disclosed until well after the election. in the senate battleground states, outside groups are spending more on adds than campaigns and political parties combined. funding the financial arms race, a group of modern day owe la gashgs. >> on father's day, i was with my family and mitch mcconnell was with his, the coch brothers. >> the coch brothers. >> senate republicans are addicted to coch. >> on the right, charl

joining me to provide analysis are luke russert, carolyn ryan and dan balls. chief correspondent for the washington post. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >>> good morning. nine days go until election day. this morning we have new polls from six states that hopefully will tell us something about which way the wind is blowing and which party is going to control the senate and what the next two years might look like. i've been on the road meeting the voters moin road trip spending the week in the midwest in my where is chuck bus covering battles in three states. we dropped in on kansas. the senate fight in iowa. and then the battle for governor in wisconsin that i feel like has been going on continuously for four years. before we get to the polls and all of the big races, two big stories caused major concern for many. of course, it commanded our attention. terror by the shooting in canadian parliament building in ott with a with. and the new york city doctor who contracted ebola after returning from west africa where he was treating ebola patients. let'

luke russert, thank you for that. >>> let's turn to dr.ard mercale, author of "when germs travel: six epidemics that have ini vaded america and the fears they unleashed." in this specific case, what is worse, the reality or the fears? >> oh, i think the fear is much greater than the reality. at least in the united states of america. in west africa, of course, the reality is terrible. >> doctor, what do you make of what luke russert was describing in terms of the increased security procedures at the airport, all passengers coming from west africa will be screened to see if they have any symptoms at the time, then they'll also be keeping a log over the next 20 or so days. if they exhibit symptoms, they're told to go to the hospital with a pamphlet given to them by the cdc. is this necessary? is it effective? >> well, if it's effective, only time will tell. i think it's a very measured and layered approach. i do not think it's intrusive, as the reporter stated. we are, after all, talking about an extremely deadly disease, ebola. one thing tha

luke russert is live at dulles international airport outside washington, d.c. od morning, luke. >> reporter: good morning. >> where will this enhanced screening be taking place, and what will it entail? >> reporter: well, jose, it starts at jfk airport on saturday, then it will get to dulles airport as well as atlanta, o'hare in newark later next week. basically what it entails is something that's unprecedented in modern u.s. history because of how intrusive it is. if you come from guinea, ciara leon or liberia, you will go to a special screening area, and you will be taking your temperature taken with a hands free thermometer. if you are found to have a fever, you will be brought to the company of a medical officer who will make a decision whether you should be processed to a hospital or go on your way. also you're given a questionnaire to try to determine whether or not you are exposed to ebola during your time in western africa. and from folks we talked to, jose, they say a lot of reason this is happening is to calm public fears. new york senator schumer was

. >> nbc's luke russert was in bethesda for the news conference.when she left dallas her condition was listed as good. now they say fair. what can you tell us about that change? >> reporter: hey there, craig. as far as why nina pham's condition has gone from good to fair, we did not get any real answer on that from the he cited privacy rights for patients. there is some indication her long-distance plane ride could be one of the reasons. also, this is nih, one of the premiere hospitals in the country, so the medical professionals here may have noticed something that perhaps those doctors in texas did not. all that being said, though, nina pham has a team of 20 nurses who are dedicated to her. she has two nurses in the room at any given time. we're told she's interacting with staff, having a good face about all these types of things. it can't be easy. dr. fauci called her very brave. she has a few creature comforts, including her ipad. she's resting comfortably and doing the best she possibly can. one of four biocontainment units in the hospital spe

doctor, you heard what luke russert was saying. they're going to take passengers specifically from the three countries most affected, screen them at the airport. which begs the question, at least for me, what happens to somebody who's coming in from london but they just spent two weeks in liberia? you're not screening them. >> no, exactly right. there has to be a mechanism, though, for finding out what is the country of origin. not where is the country from the last stop. what's the country of the last stop. so, i think there's a lot of fine-tuning we have to do if this is going to work. there are some other nuances here, including the fact that if somebody's given a questionnaire in writing, they're more likely to shade the truth a little bit. those questions should actually be asked verbally, orally, so that we're making eye contact, we're asking, did you have contact with anybody? are you sure you didn't? and that kibnd of questioning tends to be more effective than, say, just checking off a form. >> if you're basically sectioni

nbc's luke russert is at the national institutes of health. nbc's gabe gutierrez is in emory, in atlanta. luke, pham arrived late last night. what more do we know this morning about her condition? >> well, that's right, craig, nina arriving about 10:00 last night. she flew her via private plane and had an escorted ambulance to the facility. from that video, she seemed to be in good spirits. we do know she got off the plane in a biocontainment suit. and she also joked around in another part of that video we didn't show where she said to her friends via the hospital there in texas, everybody come to maryland. so she seems to be in good spirits. as good as she possibly can be. as far as how long she'll stay here at nih, we are told until she's better. nih has specialists, critical care specialists, that are very much involved in this type of care on a daily basis. they're one of the four hospitals in the country that have a bio containment unit. they're specially equipped to deal with the ebola virus. they've not had a full-on ebola patient yet. t

there's no word on when they will come, kristen. >> luke russert. thanks for your great reporting.iate it. >> take care. >> isis steps up attacks on big targets in iraq. including bombings that killed dozens in baghdad. those stories and much more when we come back in three minutes. t. can we go for a test drive? oh sure, i'll be right back. thanks. leather, running boards... carmax quality certified, low, no-haggle price, 5-day money back guarantee ... that's great... and, a roof rack for the kayak! we don't have a kayak. we could get a kayak. ready to roll? yes, we are. with more than 35,000 cars nationwide, carmax has the perfect car for...everybody. carmax. start here. alriwe need to do somethinguble widifferent. ranch. callahan's? ehh, i mean get away, like, away away. road trip? double wings, extra ranch. feels good to mix it up. the all-new, fuel-efficient volkswagen golf tdi clean diesel. up to 594 miles of adventure in every tank. >>> isis is trying to win back territory in iraq after launching as many as a dozen or more simultaneous attacks against some familiar targets.

natalie azar, of nyu hospital, as well as capitol hill correspondent luke russert. s a sense whach the takeaway is, what we expect to hear from this hearing on capitol hill today. >> the house oversight and government reform committee is well known for partisan fireworks. it's often the committee that takes it upon itself to go after the obama administration, ask real deep investigative questions and expect that type of line of questioning to continue today. there's a lot of emphasis on a few things. sort of inconsistent guidelines that have come out from the cdc throughout the entire ebola process. how can they be improved. where you should see the real political fireworks is the idea of a travel ban that was brought up at a congressional hearing last week. whether or not the folks from those west african countries should not be allowed into the country. also expect questions about the ability of ron klain, the president's new ebola czar, to carry out his duty. a lot of folks saying he's a political appointee. should have been a doctor. hear that from reps. also exp

. >> any way, somebody said, luke russert will be conversation the campaign.t a perfect tradition of our country. take a look at this. attributed to a quote, a senior obama official. this person said, the thing about bibi is, he's a chicken. you know the rest of that. that's a bad word. this person said, the good thing about netanyahu is that he's zird launch wars. the bad thing. the only thing he's interested in is protecting himself from political defeat. he has no guts. the answer was swift. the white house spokesman disavowed the comments. here he is. >> those comments done deneck the united states position and they do not deflect the personal views of the united states. this is a critically important relationship. the soouts as committed as it has ever been to the security of israel. >> you know, the enemies of the president, the political parties, find out who did it. the question i have is, doesn't this in effect, without using the harsh words of chicken stuff, doesn't this reflect the attitude of this administration? >> and vase versa. i've heard simil

we have luke russert and the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. the president of simusa. luke is going to start screening passengers for ebola next week. how is this going to work? >> reporter: it's something that is unprecedented in modern american history. essentially when passengers come from one of the three countries in west africa, they will be in fact brought into a special screening area where their temperature will be taken with a hands free thermometer. if they have a fever, they will be brought before a medical official to determine whether or not they should be released or go directly to a medical facility for further evaluation. even if they don't show signs of a fever, they can determine whether or not they have been exposed in west africa. contact information will be taken and they will be told to look for symptoms for up to 21 days. they have to contact the hospital and give them information from the customs and cdc officials here at the screening sites. this will be 110 passengers a day. 94% come through the five airports that you

i'm being interviewed by luke russert who i first saw in a sonogram. said i'm going to have a son. we've been very close ever is in. and luke did a fantastic job. we had a capacity audience. we talked a little bit on this broadcast about the fall of the berlin wall. not just because nbc there was. it did change the world. not in way we expected it to be changed. obviously germany is the most powerful country in europe now. angela merkel is widely regarded as the most powerful and visionary leader in europe. we walked from east germany into west germany that night. she was a lbt technician in east germany came to the west and now the chancellor of the country. the nato alliance began to fray around the edges and this is when we need it more to deal what's going on in the middle east and putin. really a full discussion last night. and newseum is a treasure. we need ad repository for the good work of journalism and history of it and a place where journalists can go and talk about their craft and it's working out very well. >> that changed the world. here'

luke russert joins me from washington dulles airport. luke, you and i reported many times criticism with the tsa and airport security, you have people wondering will this plan to screen potentially hundreds of people, if not more, be effective and ensure the safety of the american public. >> it is a very fair question, tamron. the real reasoning behind this plan going into effect is to calm the nerves, from officials we have spoken to, of the american public who are nervous about ebola spreading through the united states. a recent poll shows 58% of americans support an all out travel ban from those west african countries to the u.s. doctors frieden from the cdc said yesterday that in fact probably not the best thing, it would cut off medical supplies to and from effected areas so needed. what you're seeing with this unprecedented move by the u.s. government to put the screening procedures in place is really a real intrusive way to try and calm the public, but also to see if they can at least monitor patients, 150 a day, 95% of west africa

and let's bring in nbc luke russert. we heard an update from the facility there. hat is so interesting, luke, is why miss pham is there. knowing the nih look at research. their focus is cures and perhaps part of her being there is that. >> that's certainly what some folks are speculating, tamron. the nih also has one of the four bio containment units in the country that are specially created for people that have infectious diseases at this magnitude such as ebola. so miss pham is getting the best possible care she could receive within the united states. few interesting take aways from the press conference, tamron. you mentioned she's in fair condition. stable condition. it's a downgrade from good where she was in texas. however, we can't read too much into that. she had a long flight. in her condition and she's here. the doctor said she's getting extraordinary care. there are 20 nurses assigned to miss pham. she has two nurses in the room with her at any time. she's interacting with staff. she's in a good mood. he called her very brave. she has kre chur comforts. s

. >> luke russert, thank you, sir.bc news.com's senior health writer maggie fox met with the head of the department of health and human services. what did you learn and find out? >> secretary sylvia matthews burr well a few questions well the screening and she describes it as an extra layer of protection. all officials say the most effective way to keep sick people from getting on airplanes is to stop them at the point of entry. that said, there is extra worry about ebola. they are aware of the incubation period than in a long flight from africa. it can take 15 to 20 hours to get here. somebody could start to develop symptoms. they feel it's worthwhile adding this layer of screening. that said, they kept about 77 to 80 people from getting on airplanes before they even come to the u.s. and so far not a single one had ebola. they had malaria. >> when they prevent the folks from getting on airplanes, what then happens? do they track them to make sure that they are not coming into contact with others or go to the hospital?

we want to turn now to nbc's luke russert, who is also at the white house. luke, we just heard the president answer some questions there about quarantining troops -- well, one question, to be specific. it came up during the briefing as well today. several times. how is the white house trying to walk that fine line? >> before i get to that, krystal, let's do a debrief of what president obama said. essentially his rationale was, we need to send americans -- some americans into harm's way to west africa to get at the source of ebola. that's the best way to contain the outbreak and keep everybody else and americans stateside safe. that's what the president was trying to push there. he was trying to push a sense of reassurance, right? seven americans have gotten ebola. all seven of them have survived. only two have contracted it here within the shores of the united states. they both survived. he talked about how he spoke on the phone recently with amber vinson and also had a visit with nina pham, the other nurse, at the oval office last week. really the theme was

i'm luke russert. just eight days until the midterm vote. it's monday, october 27th. this is the "daily rundown." new developments this morning on the controversial quarantine policies for health care workers returning from west africa. last night, governors andrew cuomo and chris christie clarified their state's mandatory 21 day quarantine policies. both governors now say residents can be quarantined at home rather than a hospital. the debate over happens is playing out in real time as a nurse from maine became the first person isolated under new jersey's new protocols. hickox ariled on friday and has been held in mandatory quarantine ever since, even though she's asymptomatic. hickok called her treatment inhumane. >> we believe that medically speaking there's no reason for the state of new jersey to keep her quarantined. >> new york city mayor bill de blasio says it is unacceptable to discriminate anyone who's treating ebola patients in africa or in the united states. >> i think the bottom line is we want to see all of our medical personnel who are part of this figh

i'm luke russert. it's monday, october 6th, 2014. the breaking news in the ebola outbreak. the fifth american infected with ebola has just arrived for treatment. just moments ago, the ambulance carrying nbc freelance photographer ashoka mukpo arr e arrived at nebraska's bio containment unit. mukpo landed at omaha's eply field half an hour ago in a specialized medevac jet from west africa. his plane steered clear the main terminal and stopped in a remote part of the airport. that's where mukpo was taken to the hospital. mukpo tested positive, two days after being hired to work with nbc's chief medical editor dr. nancy snyderman. he contracted the virus before he began working with our nbc news team in liberia. walking on to the plane with some assistance, the plane made a refueling stop in bangor, maine, before arriving in omaha moments ago. mukpo's father says his son is eating and drinking on his own, which at this stage are some really good signs. >> i am so relieved that he is coming back to an environment where he can get the simplicity of medical care, which is intrave

joining me is luke russert. you have been in virginia and followed this story.ou tell us? >> reporter: the basically confirms what were the worst fears of investigators and of the graham family and her friends when those remains were discovered last weekend. they were positively i.d.'d as those of than hana graham. they were close to where remains were found five years ago. she was dna linked to the prime suspect of the hannah graham case. the black pants were what she was wearing the last night she was seen. investigators will try to see if there is a dna link they can create from the remains found there on old lynchburg road to jessie matthew. he has been linked to an attempted rape and murder in fairfax, virginia. he has been linked to the disappearance of morgan harrington. they will try to link him to this. as the context of the story it is remarkable that she was found and the speed which she was, and when you read the note from the family they give a lot of thanks to the chief from the charlottesville police department thank him for his effort to bring th

tonight and mark glaze, former director of every town for gun safety and we will be joined by luke russert later in this hour. clint, it sounds like the school was prepared and did everything they had to do. your thoughts? >> well i think you're right, ed. and it's a positive thing and unfortunate thing. you know, the -- kind of the low water mark for us was sandy hook in december, 2012. that broke our nation's heart. since that time, ed, there has been 87 shootings in schools. so schools have had no choice across the country but to prepare and when you hear some of the students who witness this, you know, i realize they're teenagers but it's almost matter of fact. they've heard of this. they see their fellow students around the country witness this. it's just kind of a rote when they talk about it as opposed to the heart-breaking incident that it really is. >> and clint, we're back to the conversation in america about mental health and access to firearms. a self-inflicted wound, clearly this is a mental health issue. what about that? >> we find this both in the school shootings and in the

luke russert is live in char loc lotsville. >> reporter: there's a tweet from the sheriff's departmente now, and they said they'll have an announcement whether there is news. there are no scheduled briefings at this time. we here wait. i'm sure the waiting is probably the hardest for the parents of hannah graham. the remains found on saturday in a rural area several miles away where from graham was last seen. there are reports that the person searching the area also found a pair of black pants close to the remains. that would add up. hannah graham was seen wearing black pants. jesse matthew is charged with attempting to defile and abduct hannah graham. he'll be in prison indefinitely until we know more. if therest a positive id more charges could be brought against mr. matthew. for now we wait. >> live in charlottesville. thank you so much. >>> coming up exclusive polling data on the latino vote that could shape the 2016 race. >>> we'll break the embargo with the pollster that did here in seconds. >>> the topic of the latino vote. here is the moment when the protester challenged the pr

we turn first to luke russert at the nih campus in bethesda, where this morning dr. anthony fauci updated reporters on nina pham's condition. luke? >> hey there, andrea. nina pham is in fair and stable condition. and she apparently is responding well and interacting with staff. she left texas in good condition. the reason why she was in fair was not publicly disclosed. there is some speculation that after a long plane ride for someone who has ebola it could make her fair or perhaps the medical professionals here at nih, the premiere hospital in the country noticed something different. all that being said, she has a team of 20 nurses assigned to her. two nurses in the room at any given time. we're told that she's enjoying some of her creature comfort, she has her ipad and she's been suffering the web. obviously she's in a very frail state. but dr. fauci believes that she will one day walk out of that hospital and that is what they are trying to do here at nih. they're trying to rid her of the virus, rid her of the disease to get her on her way. >> nih is one of four ho

nbc's luke russert is live at the white house. on what we expect to hear from the president. >> well, joy, he's obviously just spoken on a conference call with the usaid and the team and western countries in africa affected with ebola. obviously, we know from the white house, the president will give them a prep talk after being briefed, thank them for their service, and then go on to wisconsin to campaign with mary burke, trying to knock off scott walker as governor. as far as what we expect the president to say in his speech directly after the conference call, expect words that have a reassuring tone to the nation. the white house right now is dealing with a little firestorm pertaining to the quarantine policies directed at the military and how those are different from the civilian population. the army has decided to have a 21-day quarantine period for all those soldiers returning from western africa to their bases. we know that the pentagon, perhaps, could extend that 21-day quarantine policy to the other branches of service. th

i'm luke russert. it's wednesday, october 22nd, 2014. this is the "daily rundown." two weeks from today, we'll be waking up to the news of which party will control the u.s. senate next year. that's unless of course there are runoffs in georgia and louisiana la that will push this election into weeks of overtime. the junkies might be rooting for that. candidates feel the urgency. that's true even in new hampshire which once looked secure for democrats but has tightened to a three-point race. last night, senator jeanne shaheen and former massachusetts senator scott brown met for their first televised debate, moderated by nbc's "meet the press," chuck todd. >> do you approve of the job president obama is doing? now, they'll be a chance to follow up, but this is a yes or no answer. do you approve, yes or no? >> in some ways, i approve. in some things, i don't approve. >> they don't have a check on that -- >> like most questions that we deal with as policymakers, there aren't simple answers. yes or no. >> you had two chances to run for the u.s. senate in massachusetts in

and according to an aide who told luke russert, he believes if she can't restore the faith of the public as well as get the agency back on track, then she shouldn't be in that position. so i think those things are adding up to while officially the white house is saying they support her and they certainly don't want to say anything about the men and women who protect the president. there are a lot of other things going on that point in another direction. >> chris, you spend time in this security bubble every day. what is the screening procedure like in an instance like that elevator case? >> oh. first of all, there are advance teams that go our. they don't look at where the president's going to be speaking or appearing. they go to elevators and look at every step along the path. and every person who comes within proximity of the president is supposed to get a background check. let's take it that particular instance where a man with a criminal history and gun gets on a elevator. that would indicate that a ma a magnatometer was not used. obviously the protocols that were not followed in thi

luke russert is outside one of those airports. >> there's a lot of people traveling from west africa, 1 in 5, in fact, have malaria which causes fevers. there are going to be a lot of false positives. it's really meant to try and prove a sense of calm amongst the public. >> and similar precautions are already happening at u.s. ports on all ships that visited west africa within the last five ports. >> the initial screening will be conducted by medically trained coast guard personnel for the first couple of days at this more active screening is in place within a short period of time, we are hiring, we're bringing on by contract medically trained personnel to conduct this screening. if there's a positive, either through a yes answer on the declaration or their temperature's running high, they're referred over to screening in an isolated place by cdc. the center for disease control, and at that point, cdc takes it from there. >> in dallas for us since this all started. the sheriff's deputy being tested was not among the list of people the cdc is monitoring after possible exposure. how lon

i'm luke russert. it's friday, october 31st, 2014. this is the "daily rundown." after a 48-day man hunt, police in pennsylvania have captured accused cop killer eric frein. frein is expected to make his first court appearance any minute. you see him in the orange jump suit. last night, a team of u.s. marshals found the 31-year-old survivalist outside the hangar of an abandoned airfield during a routine search of buildings. police have been searching for frein since september when he was accused of ambushing two pennsylvania state troopers outside of their barracks. that attack killing one. and seriously wounding another. during a press conference last night, state officials promised that justice would, in fact, be served. >> he has been stripped of his guns, his bombs and now his freedom. >> let me assure you from everybody here just will be served. >> frein is expected to be charged with multiple counts, including first degree murder. prosecutors say they plan to seek the death penalty. nbc's sarah dahllof is live in pennsylvania. sarah what do we know about how

tim murphy, luke russert is with us on capitol hill. the word of the day is travel ban, at least on the republican side of that committee. am i right? >> you are right, joy. and you saw that hearing wrap up there a little under three hours, and we were alerted ahead of time from conversations we had with aides to that committee that the travel ban would be the politically partisan issue that would come here. everything's political in washington, d.c. and even ebola seems to get political. you saw republicans going after the cdc, the head, dr. frieden right there about the travel ban, whether or not it should be in effect. and his answer was very simple. look, if we do that, if we do not permit folks to travel, they'll find some other way around our travel ban by going to some other country and from then on we won't have the ability to take their temperature, get the data about where they're going, their own personal data. and it could be cumbersome. that was backed up by the commissioner of the border patrol also seated next to dr. frie

i'm luke russert. it's monday, october 6th, 2014. the breaking news in the ebola outbreak.reatment. just moments ago, the ambulance carrying nbc freelance photographer ashoka mukpo arr e arrived at nebraska's bio containment unit. mukpo landed at omaha's eply field half an hour ago in a specialized medevac jet from west africa. his plane steered clear the main terminal and stopped in a remote part of the or

that happened just once and i want to also put up a tweet for you to respond, to julian, from luke russertt encounter, gop aides telling me it was a mistake to allow cameras into obama's qa with gop members. allowed bo to refute gop for 1.5 hours on tv. they didn't want to do that again, but we could do it if we wanted to. >> we could do it and there's part of me as a spectator that would enjoy to see the questions and answers and speaker boehner and the president interacting. i'm not sure that would solve the kind of polarization we have and the problems that exist between the parties. they are much more deeply rooted than golf games -- >> but couldn't that actually solve some of the policy stagnation and gridlock if we had much more of those televised exchanges between the president and congress. >> it could be or it could be as c-span ended up being, just another platform for performance often and for fueling the kind of partisan interaction that might be softened if it wasn't in front of the cameras. >> but if it moved public opinion, if exchanges like that were to change people's mind

let's get the latest from luke ru ru ru russert in maryland. nina pham is there. how is she doing? tell us about her treatment. >> reporter: nina pham arrived around 10:35 last night. you saw the hero sendoff she received. another funny thing we saw on video wasn't included in the runup. she said to her friend who were treating her. everyone should come to maryland. she seemed to be in good spirits or as good spirits as you can be. she's here at nih. one of four hospitals that has a special bio containment unit that is specially set up to treat people with infectious diseases like ebola. she will get the best type of treatment she possibly could get. that is why she is here at nih. she'll have clinical specialists specifically for ebola. and on top of that, we expect her to be here for the reminder while she's infected. we heard from hospital officials in terms the length of stay. she'll be here until she gets better. at 10:30 a.m. we expect a press conference from dr. fau kyi. what we can tell you she arrived last night, walked off the plane. seems to be in good spirits. getting t
