mr. jenkins? in my previous response, loan debt is a very troubling concern. we all know about the mortgage crisis. the real estate business, we has happened. we know what has happened to our country financially as a result. every financial prognosticator says the next big crisis is the student loan debt. sleeves.oll up our we don't need to bring our nation's economy down again like saw in 2008 as a result of this. step up.o we need to address this. in a bipartisan way. we must do it to make sure that our children, our students, are shouldered with this unacceptable debt. now, in west virginia, we have nail to try tod into marshal university. i was right there when our marshal medical school was having trouble. and we got an extra million dollars for marshal. against the budget this tor because it had cuts education. better about supporting education in our state. record of a supporting and making sure our higher ed institutions, to the extent possible, but candidly war on coal --is keep bringing it back to that, but i'm not apologizing when i say when this ec

mr. jenkins first, has to do with energy.s you are fully aware, coal has been a big topic in this campaign. you have both stated your commitment to sustaining coal. i want you to put this in the context of an overall energy policy. will you explain what kind of energy policy you think the nation should have and what specific steps you would take as a congressman to steer the nation toward that policy. >> west virginia is an energy state. we are proud of our coal history. we have made the manufacturing of this country based on coal-fired plants around the country. of the energy in west virginia is coal-fired. we do have an oil and gas explosion as well. need to do both, have coal as gas in oil and natural west virginia. we have an opportunity to leave the country and energy independence. we need to free up our coal miners and make sure they can coal.he you cannot be pro-coal and vote against the reins act as nick rahal has. you cannot be pro-coal and vote for nancy pelosi for speaker six times he wants to kill coal. you cannot

mr. jenkins, apologized for the way that was handled.we get into cases where there has been an importation of someone contagious with ebola who exposes others, i would expect you're going to see a much more rapid and humane procedure in place. this was a moment of pretty intensive learning this week. >> sreenivasan: one of the things people are also talking about is trying to contain it at the source. the pentagon is going to increase the number of troops going there, but, of course, we have politicians and others saying let's try to figure out how to change the policy on changing the flight ban. is that a policy that should be looked at again? >> this is a very difficult issue. what we saw with duncan coming here was that the screening procedures are not all that effective if you were unsymptomatic and you don't personally and voluntarily disclose. so what do you do under those instances? you cannot insist on prior vaccination because there is novak seen, there is no rapid test. the only thing you can begin to consider is a 21-day quara

mr. jenkins security at federal buildings.oming up after the break a major development on the ebola outbreak and why the obama administration might let non-citizens with the disease into this country for treatment. obvious question, who pays? answer, you do. all rise, the judge on that next. hard it can be.....to breath copd? it can feelike this.s. copd includes ronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-day inhaled... ...co...that helps open myt... rways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. spirivhandihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctf you ve kidney problem glaucoma, ouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenlyorsens, your throat or tongue swells,... you can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effts include dry mouth and cons

mr. jenkins. >> the progressive budget cut the military $900 billion. we ought to keep talking about those votes. you know what? the best jobs bill in west virginia, the best jobs action in west virginia would again to get this administration off of our backs. every time a question like was asked, well, what's the future after coal? it makes me think i'm not going to get baited into the idea that coal is over. you know, nick rahall may think it's a slump, which is when he turned his back on a a coal miner in logan when the coal miner said why did you support obama twice and nick rahall said , because he is a democrat and turned and walked away from him. i'm telling you, what we need to do is get west virginia back to work. we need to get our coal miners back to work. i am the sponsor of the legislation bringing the hatfields and mccoy trail system back to west virginia. i believe in tourism. i believe in manufacturing. i believe in health care. these are critically important, but i will never turn my back on our hard-working coal miners and our coal com

there is zero percent chance of me and the deputy coming in contact with the bodily fluids of mr duncan. jenkins visited the apartment of thomas eric duncan, a liberian man who died of ebola. his heart stopped at 7:51am. according to a statement from the hospital: the statement explains some questions regarding thomas eric duncan's care: lip lip thomas eric duncan was not given a serum transfusion because his blood type was not compatible with the don ours. the risk is fully contained. at the peak period during which symptoms would emerge, none of the 48 monitored have fallen sick. i spoke with duncan's stepdaughter, she along with four children are among those who would be quarantined. she reports everyone feels fine, no signs of illness. however, as you can imagine, emotionally another story. mourning the loss of this woman's woman's stepper, and they have to do if in isolation. >> a difficult time for the family. thank you. >> tonight, the largest army post in the united states is preparing to fight the war against ebola. today was dress rehearsal at force hood in central texas. for soldiers

mr. sanford. >> judge jenkins, i don't know your story. but based on what i just heard, walked in an apartment where ebola was there and somebody just died, i admire courage, your humanity, your leadership in terms of just walking in, without glove in and shaking hands with folks and giving them a hug, as the case might have been. that.re to theant to go back doctor's comment. in fact, everybody said the same thing. everybody said you can't get this disease unless it's from an infected party. a human contact. you're not going to get it out of the drapery over here. you're not going to get it out of the floor. you're not going to get it through the air. right? i mean, everybody has that.tently said yet what we just heard was of hazardous drums waste were taken out of the apartment. unless the guy lived in a mansion, they flat-out stripped that apartment, in essence, down to the studs. out the carpet, the drapes, everything. threw it in. a hazardousclass material, wherein you're having to fight permits in terms of getting it out. folks back

mr. cornyn, please? >> i visited with judge jenkins and mayor rallings about this. what struck me is that they were waiting for guide france the white house, from the federal government and it took president three weeks before he appointed a liaison officer, sometimes called a czar, but we don't need any more czars. what we need is somebody to coordinate the care between federal government, state and local government to make sure that the emergency resources we had were available and they were acting on the best possible information. so texas presbyterian hospital and the county did the best they could but they were handicapped by a lack of help and useful guidens from the federal government. the center for disease control has world class epidemiologists and doctors but they are not the kinds of boots on the ground needed to guide and direct people trying to save the life of people like mr. duncan, who are real heroes. >> we to have move forward to the next question. >> senator cornyn, according to the center of disease control, 27% of young adults did not have heal

mr. duncan, therefore there's zero percent chance that either of us will develop ebola from those interactions. >> reporter: jenkins had also been in the apartment where duncan's quarantined family remains. this virus issing only transmitted through direct contact with an infected person's bodily fluids. and that's why health officials are saying they have always had a tight damper on this infection and they are very certain it has not spread to anyone else. >> is there any new information about how the hospital handled duncan's treatment while he was there. >> reporter: the hospital released a statement that duncan said he did not want to be resuscitated. so when his heart gave out that was the patient passed. there was an experimental drug given to duncan six days into his hospitalization. that was given as soon as the hospital was able to obtain it. zmapp the other treatment that has proven effective previously, that was not available. and blood type of duncan did not match that of donors and that's why he was not given a blood fusion. >> heidi thing you. >>> the ebola case in texas has brought home the need for

jenkins is leading this effort. we appreciate cdc on tracking down these contacts and the expertise and mr. miles running the school front. what we're trying to do at the city is to make sure that we create a calm and safe environment for those people to do their work. that's our primary focus. this business is very local. when i say local, i don't mean dallas. i mean a very specific neighborhood in the northeast part of dallas. as clay said, jennifer gates has been out there almost nonstop with the neighborhood talking to people and communicating with them. the second thing we have done is we have had reverse 911 calls to all of the residents. we've talked to them. we've explained to them what's happened. and we've given them the option to call us back. as i've said before, if citizens have any questions, they need to call 311. we will be able to give them a full explanation of what's happening and answer any questions that are challenging. if they feel sick, they need to call 911. and we will make sure that they get the first rate paramedics that worked on this at the very beginning and t

jenkins. thanks for joining us. we heard tom say those 48 friends and family of mr. duncan expected to hit the deadline tonight. no symptoms yet. so do you expect to lift the quarantine? >> well, there's not a quarantine but they'll be free to go. it's a protective order and it will expire for them at midnight tonight and then it's going to be a good thing for those families who have been through so much and we're very happy about that but at the same time we're extremely concerned about these health care workers and we continue to make contingency in the event that there are more cases. >> what about that group? it's a group of about i guess 75 people now. you've asked them all to abide by an agreement to stay off public transportation and basically stay out of public. what kind of sanctions are they subject to if they don't? >> well, they've signed agreements with the state's public health commissioner and they all have health care licenses and those are binding agreements and they'll follow them because these are hometown health care heroes. these are people who put their lives on the line to take care of er

jenkins speaking now. >> good morning. we're here today to communicate about a health care worker who has contracted the ebola virus. that health care worker is a heroic person who provided care to mr. duncan. i met with that health care worker's parents and the health care worker and their parents have asked that their privacy be respected and their name not be released at this time. i expect with the activities that happen today, information will come to light, but let's remember as we do our work that this is a real person who is going through a great ordeal and so is that person's family. let's be as respectful as we can possibly be. we expected that something -- that it was possible that a second person could contract the virus. contingency plans were put into place and the hospital will discuss the way that the health care worker followed those contingency plans which will make our jobs in monitoring and containment much easier in this case than in the last one. i want to stress before we bring up a doctor a very important fact. you cannot contract ebola other than from the bodily fluids of the symptomatic ebola victim. you cannot contract ebola by walking by people in the st

jenkins. thank you for taking the time to talk to us tonight. >> glad to do it. >> as dallas has not just the case of mrut the second carry case of the health care worker and the tertiary case of the other health care worker. how are you doing in terms of yourself and being at the center of this and handling it? >> i'm doing great. i've got a ton of support from my family and the community. i haven't slept in about 48 hours, but other than that, life's good. >> you announced today plans to enact a legal order to restrict travel for these dozens of hospital staffers who treated thomas eric duncan who are being monitored for having been exposed. what does that legal order mean? how would it work? >> well, in their case, these are hometown health care heroes. they just need the rules of the road. it is a legal order. it is binding, but these people, given their life's work to public health, if they're asked not to travel, they won't. once i heard of the travel and talked to dr. frieden, who, you know, said that in hindsight he would have liked to have informed the hospital to not have them travel, inform t

mr. duncan's family and concerned that she was feeling unwell. clay jenkins. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> can you clear up for us, were the two nurses, were they moved to emory and to the hospital in bethesda, maryland, because they're better suited to take care of these nurses or because you were trying to make more room in dallas for more patients? >> well, two reasons that went into that decision. one is this health care hero family at presbyterian has been through a lot and now 75 of them are being monitored for possible exposure to ebola. and so that takes a real toll on those individuals. but i need to make sure that we had those three isolation units open because we're still in that zone of rescuing and may see more cases and we're preparing for more contingencies not only there but in other places. >> so are you expecting more cases in your region? i know there were reports that there were some people who went into the apartment of the liberian man who died without hazmat suits. are you expecting that they're at risk? how many people poten

judge clay jenkins held a press conference to raise the unnamed hospital employee. >> that health care worker is a heroic person who provided care to mrarents and they have asked that their privacy be respected and their name not be released at this time. >> the hospital worker is in stable condition. stay with msnbc as this story develops. we'll be right back. over-consumption may link to obesity. but there is a better choice. drink more water, filtered by brita. clean, refreshing, nothing is better. the setting is perfect. you know what? plenty of guys have this issue, not just getting an erection, but keeping it. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and you only take it when you need it. good to know, right? if ed is stopping what you started... ask you doctor about viagra. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than
