white, if not she will die. host: gilbert is in alabama. thanks for c-span. cdc.iggest problem is that victim, to blame the the nurse. a my vela scene the incompetence and this man? they had an interview with a guy out of minnesota. he said in his past time that the world health organization flightsquarantining the . we are on the verge of a pandemic. that the head of the cdc is an incompetent individual, this is our problem. i really let c-span allowing me to expose this guy. host: what about having some sort of ebola czar? replace this man. he doesn't have a clue. the issue of having one person who is in charge was brought up by john mccain. he was on a state of the union. >> my constituents and not comforted. there must be more reassurance given to them. charge. know who is in there has to be some sort of star. i think we have to look at people coming into the added states, not just at our airports but the places where they leave from. there are not direct flights from africa. americans have to be reassured. i don't think we are comforted by the fact that

c-span put on. that should be taken from the show is we are following short of the white house. the purpose of the secret service organization was to protect the white house and president. if can we defend ourselves even the secret service cannot defend a small place like the white house and a small family like the president's? >> hearings about the secret like thei did not hearings. couldf their questions not be answered in an open forum. pierson does know what she is talking about. but she could not say it in an open forum. hearing is over, they are in a closed hearing, all the congress people. they are not going to be able to tell you either or the media because they took an oath not to. i don't know if everybody out there gets it. thank you, c-span. >> c-span is probably my favorite channel to watch. i am dumbfounded at the attitude calmness that-- pervades this inquiry. this whole thing is extraordinary in its meekness. action should be taken now, to fire whatever her name is. the head of security. to revamp the whole thing. it should not take a matter of days to fire them.

c-span put on. i think the message that should be taken from this show is that we're falling short of protecting the white house. the whole person of the secret service organization was put in place to protect the white house and the president of the united states. how we came to defend ourselves and even our secret service organization can not defense a small place like the white house and a small family like the president's family. >> hearings for, about the secret service, i do not like intel or secret service hearings. most of their questions can not be answered in an open forum. pierson does know what she is talking about and the stats but she can't say in an open forum rum. they're now after the hearing is over, and in a closed hearing, all of them, all the congresspeople, but they're not going to be able to tell you either or the media because they took an oath not to. i hope everybody out there gets it out there in conspiracy land. and thank you, c-span. >> c-span is probably my favorite channel to watch, but i am absolutely dumfounded the attitude of congress that pervades this injury, with the e

i think that it was a good show that c-span put on and the message that should be taken from the show is that we are falling short of protecting the white house. the whole purpose of the secret service organization was put in place to protect the white house and the president of the united states. how would we be able to defend ourselves and even our secret service organization cannot defend a small place like the white house and a small family like the president's family hearings about the secret service i didn't like the surface of hearings. most of the questions could be answered in the open for him. what she's talking about in the staff she can't stay in the open quorum. after the vote is over they will not be able to tell because they took an oath not to so i hope everybody out there gets it. and thank you c-span. >> it is probably my favorite channel to watch but i'm absolutely dumbfounded at the attitude of congress that predates the inception of the state of massachusetts. the whole thing is extraordinary action should be taken now, immediately to fire whatever her name is, the head of security. and also to revamp the whole thin
