. >> joining me now is a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor sema ire and from st.criminal defense attorney and columnist for the st. louis american, liz brown. good day to both of you. >> i had. >> hello. >> liz, let's start with this new incident that people are responding to. obviously, there is tension and there is understandable concern given the history and yet this particular incident looks rather different from the facts we have as compared to michael brown's the shooting. >> well, i don't know that it looks different to one particular side of the issue. what we have here is an issue of trust with the police. if there was trust with the police and if the police had built a relationship with the community there wouldn't be the question, the intense questioning or believeability to what the police are articulating as what happened in this particular case. so it may factually differ a little bit from the michael brown piece, but the the underlying issue is the issue of trust and the issue of trust is the same in michael brown as it is in this case. >> sema, wha

sema yasmin is joining us.'s a former cdc disease detective and now a writer for "the dallas morning news." we're seeing police cruisers guarding the house kaci hickox is being forced to stay in right now under mandatory quarantine and she's not keeping quiet at all. i want you to listen to what she said earlier today on abc. >> you know, i remain really concerned by these mandatory quarantine policies from aide workers. i think we're only adding to the citiing matization that is not based on swie science or evidence and if these restrictions are not removed for me from the state of maine by tomorrow morning, thursday morning i will go to court to attain my freedom. >> all right. sema, so kaci hickox, she's a friend of yours. what is she telling you and are you worried about her? >> we know this is panning out to be somewhat of a test case, wolf. it will be interesting to see how it evolves and with legal counsel and legal advice she will take this to court and we'll have to see what happens there. we know that

sema what is this mistake worth? >> a lot more than what she's asking for.e's only asking for $50,000. and frankly, this is contract law 101. when you enter into a contract, there should be a meeting of the minds. i pay you this, you gave me that. you didn't give it to me. now we're talking about damages, raising a black child and a predominantly white community is costing too much money. >> i was raised in a predominantly white community. it wasn't that difficult. so i don't think that is the real reason for this lawsuit. they didn't get what they asked for is reasonable. but even that is -- >> the issue is that they didn't get what they had asked for and there was a mix-up? >> i think there's no question, there was incompetence on the part of the company. they didn't put it on any kind of electronic record. but at the same time, why did this family wait too years to file the grievance? i think you have to question the motive. what is this child going to think? it's not about race, they love their child, but when they're old enough to understand this -- >>

joining us tonight elizabeth plank, toure and trial attorney sema aisle.hank you for being here. >> thanks, rev. >> happy birthday. >> thank you, thank you. we start with the gop getting the jimmy fallon treatment on "the tonight show" last night for using stock photos in their new ad campaign. >> these are stock photos of a black woman in one of their ads and pretending that she's really a republican. the only trouble is, the same stock photo has been in a bunch of other ads have been released already. this is an ad for virtual office assistant. that's the same welcome. using a lot of stock photos. check it out. >> we here in the gop have real solutions for real americans. real americans like this old woman about to skateboard, or these two men playing chess while a parrot watching, smiling man from the '90s. we're ready to fight for you. toure, how big a problem does the gop have that they can't find real people? >> it's obviously a real problem because they don't have policies that benefit black and brown people. they sometimes lie and say their policie

. >> nobody talk but sema. >> whether or not bill clinton -- >> all right, that's enough. [ laughter whether bill clinton has gone on to succeed is a different conversation. >> why? >> that's about sexism and his abilities -- >> that's what we're talking about. >> no, we're talking about taking personal responsibility, not acting like a victim. using your education, going out and finding a job, and stop blaming the rest of the world for your problems. >> i can't believe that nobody sees what i'm saying. >> can she help with cyber bullying? >> yes, she can. she is the first cyber bullying victim. there were halloween costume masks made about this woman. if anybody knows about cyber bullying, it's monica lewinsky. >> everything about her was attacked. and whether other women have the same experience or not, doesn't undermine the fact that a lot of women are attacked in a similar way and can get a lot from someone who has faced a lot in 20 years. >> can she at least help with cyber bullying? >> i'll give her that. maybe this is her calling. and i do agree, nobody deserves to be attacked

sema, your reaction to this? >> well, it's a cultural thing.n, we're from the same culture. any anybody's going to go about karma, it's a hindu. however, as a woman, i disagree. i find it offensive. i think we've changed. >> joy and i come from the same church denomination and if i say you reap what you sew -- [ laughter ] >> go ahead. >> it goes along with the advice, of always be a perky and snappy dresser, always be nice, smile at your boss, wear a lot of skirts, show a little leg. it's so offensive and anti-modern that i can't believe the head of a technology company thinks in that way. if people noticed how well you work, people wouldn't have a pay gap. >> it's not just because i'm surrounded by women that i'm taking this position. but, no, he completely stepped in it. cultural, not cultural, where he is at his level, he's working in a capitalist system where the people who are asking for raises are getting ahead. so the man who asked him that question was on air defending this cultural aspect, but the fact is, like, she wouldn't be where

sema yasmin, staff writer for the dallas morning news.hank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> congresswoman, let me go to you first. a lot of people down there seem pretty scared. do they have the right to be given how the hospital handled this initially? >> well, i think they have been given the facts of what happened. clearly, if the person had just checked what was available, which were the protocols, this would not have happened. he would not have been sent home. that's a human error that we can't retrieve. so we have to work with that having happened. >> but, dr. yasmin, duncan's nephew said he called the cdc twice and was getting more and more worried. listen. >> i called cdc to get some actions taken because i was concerned for his life. and he wasn't getting the appropriate care, and i was fearing other people might also get infected. >> i mean, should the hospital have acted sooner? it would have been avoided, the possibility of more people being exposed? >> yes, absolutely. the cdc guidelines do say we should be asking pe

sema, i saw you nodding your head while joan was speaking and i was reading a report today of people that lived in the area where this nurse lived. there's real fear out there, isn't there? >> there absolutely is, and there's so many questions from local residents here in dallas, about whether local hospitals are prepared. and we heard from a national survey of nurses that 85% of them did not feel adequately prepared to deal with ebola. i visited a local hospital a few days ago, nurses off the night shift said the same thing. the way that their hospital responded was to say, if you're telling us you don't feel prepared, let's go over the training again and again and again until you do feel ready, until you do feel comfortable to care for a patient with ebola. >> now, joan, i want to go back to something you mentioned about the cuts. because the head of the national institute for health says america would have developed an ebola vaccine if it weren't for budget cuts. the quote, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in ti

sema y asmin is a public health investigators in dallas. >> taken by surprise, the virus is in a new area, suddenly spreading so much further and so much quicker and going on for a much longer time than any other outbreak we have seen. as long as the outbreak is in west africa we'll find outbreaks in other parts of the world. >> five airports across the country have now started screening passengers for ebola. but dallas fort worth vfw is not one of them. on the front line, some lawmakers, including john cornan are calling for screening here as well. 97% of flights from west africa arrive at the five airports with ebola screenings but there is also debate the effectiveness of the screenings. >> we can look back at sars or swine flu where other airports did institute airport screening, and it didn't really seem to make a difference in the spread of the disease. whether it will make a difference now with ebola is a different disease, different set of circumstances will remain to be seen. >> mayor rawlings tells us, he has been talking to big city mayors about the lessons learned here in

sema yasmin, director of health at the university of texas, dallas, and a former cdc detective.joining us. is this a breach of protocol or a case of a hospital not being well-equipped to deal with ebola? >> to answer that question, wolf, we need upmost transparency from the hospital so we can learn from what happened here. many health care facilities are asking that exact same question, they want to know if the protocols that they are practicing will protect them or did something else happen. health care workers are human and work long hours and sometimes mistakes are made. >> we're told the nurse was wearing the protective gear. if that's the case, how could she possibly contract ebola? >> sometimes, wolf, you think you're wearing the right equipment but you may have forgotten a vital piece of equipment. sometimes you're in a rush to take care of a patient and other times you are wearing gloves that have torn and may not know that they tore because you're wearing more than one layer. i've investigated in the past infections that occurred in hospitals with health care workers. s
