Starts right now. Gerri as you know, ebola now in the u. S. The first ebola patient diagnosed in the u. S. Is in serious condition in a dallas hospital but could this have been prevented . The patient will reportedly not be given a drug called zmapp, an experimental drug given to two american medical workers this summer because, theres none left. What is worse, we could have a pile of zmapp doses ready to go if the government didnt let the treatment languish in limbo for years while it waited for a democrat. Dr. Scott gottlieb a fellow for American Enterprise institute. Dr. Scott, i will start with you, is the government doing enough to find solution to ebola . We havent had sufficiently robust effort. There are a number of promising therapeutics used against this virus including drugs approved for other purposes that could potentially be active against ebola. Historically we tried to funds the programs with series of epsoddic grants. It hasnt been enough to move it quickly and bigger problem were not doing enough now. Were reaching point in africa, where the scope is so vast, reaching a Tipping Point, the only thing to rye verse a spread would be introduction of therapeutic vaccine and were not going to haveert, to you, zp i understand it is not a brand spanking new technology out there. Why cant we get this to market . As fur first getguest said, this is through series of government grants and contracts. Those things take some time. The people getting the contracts have to compete against other people that have good ideas and theyre working on other diseases. So we need to apply a different sort of set of standards for these diseases like ebola that can have Broad International impact. Gerri dr. Scott, has the government dropped the ball here . This thing sat on a shelf for two years, z map, it apparently helped two patients treated in atlanta . He but try to give people incentive to make investments grants are not incentive. Gerri grants are not pharmaceutical companies and theyre not good developing new drugs. Completely different kind of expertise. Lets talk a little bit about the race to develop a drug. Dr. Robert i know youre involved with that. How on a is that going . How soon could you get something to market to help people . I think were actually too late in outbreak for drugs or vaccines to have impact. If this continues to go on for nine months maybe well have something then. The vaccines hopefully given to Health Care Workers so they can be protected when they go in there. Otherwise, things like diagnostics, Rapid Diagnostics we could deploy in the field would probably have biggest impact on an outbreak. Gerri do you agree . Into that is the concern. The concern here is that the scope of this is getting so vast in africa, only thing potentially to reverse the tide would be their puttic. Gerri what do you mean a their puttic . What does that mean . Drug or vaccine to introduce to reverse spread. Public Health Officials says well not only contain this, tracking down people, quarantining them, if this spreads well reach a Tipping Point where you that wont work anymore. You cant quarantine 200,000 people. The when we get that ineffectivety, the only thing keeping this more global is a drug. Gerri doctor, you visited a hospital in sierra leone. You were a canary in the coal mine. You were an Early Warning system. Tell me what you found and how you tried to get the governments attention . Ive been working there in west africa, three hours drive where the outbreak started for the past decade. Back in june, i knew that this outbreak was having the potential to spread all the to west africa, into more Populated Areas there, to places that have good roads, that arent just isolated villages. You know, it could have gotten a ring around it then. Unfortunately things didnt move as fast as they could have and, we have a most widespread of ebola in history. It is going to take a big effort to get this under control. I hope we can do it. Gerri wow. I was expecting to hear more of a tone like we heard last night from the cdc where we were told, it is under control, everythings fine, dont worry. Go back to sleep. Dr. Scott, you guys seem a lot more worried and concerned. Why . Well, were finally putting in resources into the region but other countries are not following our lead. The amount of resources going in is probably what she should have been doing a month or two ago. Were still not getting ahead of this. Well need to put in overwhelming amount of resources to get ahead. Well know when we put in enough resources people start saying my god how could you send in that many troops . We need to step this up. Gerri im stunned what you guys are saying tonight. But i also need some basic facts. Dr. Robert, we talked a lot about how this spreads. A lot of people are taking away it is very difficult for this disease to spread to other people. Were being told, dont worry about being on a plane. And yet, were told that blood, sweat, anything, what about phlegm . What if somebody sneezes on me who has ebola . What is it that, how can i contract it . Well, let me go to the texas case, the dallas case. That person did not get sick until about four days after he got off that plane. So the people that are on that plane were really kind of, theyre out of the woods on. That. Theyre not going to become infected n terms of the dallas situation, no doubt this person came in contact with his family members, with friend. Weve heard of some other contacts today. All those people are going to have to be kept under close surveillance. If they develop a fever, they will have to be put in isolation. But, this government, local health care authorities, cdc, can put a ring around this patient. It will not spread like it is in west africa. There will not be outbreak there. There will not being thousands of cases here. Gerri thats good to hear. I have to ask you dr. Scott before you go, there was a press Conference Today with officials from the dallas hospital and they said, not everybody on the team that was treating this patient, patient number one, you could say, knew what the protocol was. I find that shocking because weve been dealing with this ebola for a long time. What is your reaction . I think cdc will step up the effort to go to the hospitals to try to train them. Rest assured the hospitals in the parts of country where you think you will get most cases, elmhurst, queens, down state, those kinds of 4079s have stepped up protocols. Clearly has not disseparate nated to every hospital. Gerri you guys did did a great job. Doctors gary and gottlieb. Thank you so much. Now that ebola is here and nightmare has come true, congress is trying to react. Republican congressman chris smith of new jersey is proposing legislation to combat the fatal disease. He joins me from washington. Welcome to the show. I know you want to introduce legislation, specifically what would you like to see done . Well, obviously we need to step up our efforts. I think cdc has, they may have missed some early actions that have been taken to break the transmission chain early on. But dr. Tom frieden i think has done a very noble job. We had a hearing with him. I talked about a him the number of cases and containment looked like it might work. Sadly theyre are not going to work and as i said in my previous hearing exponentially. Which sent shivers down my spine. Gerri congressman, were very worried and concerned. People are wore remembered remet kids and compromised immune systems an can contract. People are worried. Whether what do you think the government can do at this point . The cdc is on the front lines. What is the legislation that congress can pass to make a difference here . Thats exactly what were doing. Its a draft bill. It would backstop everything the president is doing and insure authorities are there and sufficient resources are there. Dod is talking about billion dollars. No new appropriations. Reprograming money. Last two requests they made to the Appropriations Committee but it may exceed the billion dollars very quickly because pandemics have a way of growing as i said before expo nextly. Gerri what do you want to spend this money on . It hasoo be on training. Having places venues where people can get whatever treatment might be available. Obviously i asked a number of questions of the fda, at my last hearing about why at least one drug, treatment drug, had a hold on it, at a time were talking about ebow la as never before, in all past episode it burnt itself out because it happened in areas that could be contained. Monorovia, the capital of liberia, is a very robust capital where people go in and out all the time. We need to be looking at flights. We need to be looking at what is happening in everyone of our airports to insure, yes, as people leave monorovia, they are checked, at least to see if they have temperature. Gerri there are calls tonight. By the ohio senator rob portman. Rob portman has been saying that over and over again. Gerri make a change there. People are calling for more extensive changes. Congressman smith, thanks for coming on tonight. Thank you very much. Gerri now we want to know what you think. Heres our question tonight. Is the u. S. Prepared for an Ebola Outbreak . Long on to gerriwillis. Com. Vote on the righthand side of the screen. I will show results at the end of tonights show. We have more, more to come this hour including your voice. Your voice is important to us. Thats why during the show we want to you facebook me or tweet me gerriwillisfbn. Send me an email by going to the website at gerriwillis. Com. At the government of the hour i will read your tweets and emails. Up next more of our coverage of ebola in the u. S. With a look what the travel Industry Needs to do to keep us all safe. Stay with us. When folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. I dont tonight were continuing our coverage ever the ebola case with heightened concern tonight, flyers are able to board planes to the United States from ebolaravaged countries. Are airports doing enough to stop ebola patients coming here . Should american flyers be on alert. Travel expert mark murphy, founder of travel pulse. Com. Nice to see you. Today we had senator rob portman come out and say, look, we need to do more. This is exactly what he said in a tweet. We need active screening for ebola at points ever entry. The cdc should act immediately to implement this . What should airlines be doing this week . I think federal agents are looking at those passengers coming off and looking for potential symptoms. I think the challenge for anybody to board a plane showing symptoms and travel to in that condition is slim to none. The cdc says you dont have to worry about catching ebola literally from an Airline Flight regardless where it is originating. That is tear take on it. Passenger to the off in dallas because of incubation period, people on board they will not look at those folks because theyre totally fine. It is family members they interacted with since they have been back is potential issue. Gerri there are other concerns for the airlines as well, when you look back at sars issue for example. There was a huge hit to the industry. A lot of people stopped flying. Are people worried about that . Theyre already seeing it. People geographically were challenged here in the u. S. We dont realize the scope of africa. It is massive. Idea you will not go on is a tarry in south africa because of what happens in western africa, that doesnt make any sense. Something is happening in arizona but you wont go to new york as a result, you would say that is crazy. Geographically, that is the what were talking about. People should feel comfortable exploring africa and safaris. Gerri really . Absolutely they have great, great great things to do. Not worry about this we get panicked to see a map, oh i have to say out of that area. That is a massive area. Gerri its a massive area. I hear what youre saying. Even americans are concerned about traveling even in this country. So the level of concern really varies. Let me tell you some of the numbers out there that have peoples attention. 10,000 people arrive in the u. S. From this affected region, west africa, every three to four months. I had no ideas numbers were that big. Oh, yeah. Gerri we have a lot of people coming into the region into the u. S. And 200,000 folks from ebolaravaged countries have visas to visit u. S. So can come in. Sure. Gerri should that travel be stopped . I dont think so at this point. Seems to me what you heard from experts before, im obviously not a doctor, but from what you heard before, the way it is transmitted, the way it gets carried, the way people show symptoms and then are contagious, that limits ability to travel and spread this when it comes to you are our country, cdc and hospitals responded that we have the resources as a country that these countries in western africa dont have which is too bad. One example. My personal take. I went to africa for 17 nights in june while this was going on. I didnt think twice bit. I traveled to three different countries. Gerri i get the message, dont worry. Talk about what is really going on the ground here. Which is airlines are vetting people. Taking peoples temperatures before they get on the plane to leave the region. Leave west africa. Looking for people who have symptoms of the disease. What are we doing here to protect people . Against folks coming in. Were literally eyeballing people at this point and looking for physical signs. In countries in asia because of the sars crisis, they have thermal scanners to this day they can use to scan an see what your victims temperatures is. They have people standing there off the plane looking at you as you go past the thermal scansers. There are things they can put into place here to make that happen. The next segment well do, how intrusive and a pain these things as travelers. Gerri im not as sanguine as you. I tend to be little more concerned about this. Youre right. Youre not going to catch it on an airplane. That is not the way it works. Thanks for coming on and telling us your story. We appreciate night thank you, gerri. Gerri well, on to Something Else entirely. The secret Service Director Julia Pierson has resigned one day after trying to defend her agencys major lapses to congress. A white house spokesman said the president accepted piersons resignation and agreed new leadership was needed. This after an armed fencejumper managed to reach the ceremonial east room of the white house before offduty secret Service Agents stopped him. A veteran of the agency, joseph clancy, has been named acting director. Coming up later in the show the pretests in hong kongs financial district seem to get bigger and bigger.

Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. Gerri hard not to notice the massive market selloff as investors mulling dual threats from ebola and hong kong. What should you do with your investments . Here how to negotiate the volatile market, united advisors chief marketing strategist, scott martin. Scott, great to have you back. 23 points on the dow. This is third day of selloffs 238. What do you to if youre an individual investor worried about your 401 k . I think you sit tight. If youve been doing what weve been telling you along the way, you probably didnt have that bad of a day. Certainly 238 on dow is bad number unless red is your favorite color. That is not big percentagewise. That is around a percent. The dow is so high, a big move like that is not unexpected coming into a year that is typically volatile. Gerri, along the lines what what you should be doing, continue balanced allocation. We tell our clients all year, dont fear bonds, dont fear Interest Rates and dont worry about stocks either because both will work in concert. The bond is shock absorber to the portfolio and stocks doing decently well on the year and earnings are growing. Gerri you bring up bond, my friend. I will go to bill gross. Bill gross famously, i guess leaving pimco company he founded before he got fired, a lot of assets. 70 billion in assets flowing out of pimco as well. What are you telling clients who own the total return bond fund . A lot of clients own that whether in 401 k or whether in their iras because its a buick with to us fund. Guess what were telling them, gerri . This is probably the best thing to happen in the fund in last five years. I know that sound crazy but ill tell you why. You led into it. Bill gross was a star fund manager. He went on crazy moves and some which didnt, and he underperformed the market as far as bond go last four years. I think what happens with the star fund managers, gerri, they fly too close to the sun sometimes and think theyre immaculate and get hurt. That is not what you want on a fund to get stable, steady returns. Gerri buy, sell, hold, pimco total return . Im buying it. I dont totally dig the pr job theyre doing. I dont quite believe the story. Issue of team work. Dan, Portfolio Manager stepping in there. He is running Pimco Income Fund behind the scenes doing very well yeartodate. He is wellequipped to do what bill gross did. Gerri i think there are more assets some out of pim coy and that certain fund. My concern they will have lots of redemptions. They will have a lot of pressures on people to stay in the fund. It does. Liquidations are tough on any fund. We saw it in the tech crash and crash of 0. Liquid markets are key to some of these funds, gerri. That is short term pain with long term gain. With a lot of funds that blown up in the past, one big issue they got too big. They couldnt move around as nimbly. Now with pimco total return, dropping in size, that is going to allow them to move around a lot better than they did before which could be good for investors. Gerri painful way to get there. Before you go, i have to say, what it probably a fourletter word to you, alibaba. Shares are down. I know you hold them. This is ipo we warned our viewers about because the ipo market is not the place for individual investors. You just get burned. People who make money are typically insiders, friend of wall street, people who started the company, friend an family. What do you say about alibaba today. Are you a buyer or seller . Fourletter word response, gerri, is ouch. Tell you what. Were not in too high. Which is 90. Long term baba will be okay. The symbol. Like other twice like facebook and guys in pharmaceutical space recently. After the ipo they slump a bit. Facebook is up over 50 off the ipo price. Im not too concerned. Short term scariness in hong kong is certainly affecting the stock. Gerri it sure us. Well talk about that in tonights show. Scott, thanks for coming on, giving us words of advice. Stay the course.

Stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,. You can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. Other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. Nothing can reverse copd. Spiriva helps me breathe better. Sfx blowing sound. Does breathing with copd. Weigh you down . Dont wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. Gerri a massive crowd swarming the streets of hong kong where its 5 30 in the morning. Youre looking at live pictures here. Keep in mind, this is super early. These folks have been up all night in the street. They are protesting beijings iron grip on the government. Theyre drawing some of the biggest crowds yet on the same day china celebrated birth of communist republic. Will protesters prevail, and will the impact beyond china stores . Gordon chang, always great to have you here. Im hoping you can help us understand this. To an american, these protests make all the sense in the world, and you wonder why it hasnt happened earlier, why didnt they want democracy . Now the students threaten to occupy government buildings. Is this a ratcheting up of whats going on in hong kong, that you find surpriseing . Its going to be very surprising to see what happens because essentially, when they start to occupy government buildings, then the Student Movement splits. Up to now the students have stayed united, not only on goals but tactics. But this morning at the flag raising ceremony, we saw a hint of that where students started to confront each other, some wanted more confrontational tactics. The moderates went out, which is a good sign. If the students occupy the government buildings, they lose support from many people in hong kong. That wont be a good thing for the movement. Gerri you say this movement is spreading all over hong kong and up to chinas borders . Yeah, started in a place called admiralty and into Hong Kong Island and across the harbor and a place which is just a few moments even less than a few miles away from the china board. And that means people in china are now going to start to see. This the one thing that is interesting, is last wednesday, there was a demonstration in the center of shanghai in peoples square, of elderly folks supporting the students of hong kong and wanted the vote for themselves in china. Gerri wow. That is a big change. And, of course, beijing digging in their heels. What are their options here as the fever for democracy spreads . Theyre trying to do two things. First of all, trying to intimidate the protesters in hong kong. Today there was an editorial in peoples daily, the most authoritative publication warning of unconscionable consequences. The military across the border into hong kong, if the authorities there couldnt restore order. But also i think china is going to stand back and see if the protests fizzle and probably going appoint foreign minister to negotiate with the students. Whats at stake here . And the reason the protesters are so active and so loud is that the government is being taken away from them. Explain how that is happening. All over the 2017 election for the executive, the top political officer. Hes basically the governor, and right now beijing says you can have universal subverge, were going to control it so tightly, only our candidates can run. The kids say no, this is our city, this is our future. Gerri they want their representation. And want to elect their own people. Gerri how does this affect me . Americans . Why does it matter to americans . Hong kong is the Third Largest financial center. If it goes offline, that will rock markets. This is china, the narrative of china reforming and attracted a lot of money. If china sends in the troops, it could be disorderly reversal of that trend. Gerri gordon, thank you. Thanks. Back to the u. S. , we expose new problems plaguing our schools, stemming from a government program. A governmentbacked standard for education called common core. Now, these new common core standardized tests have been developed forcing schools to schedule 10 hours of testing in one day for students as young as 8. Here with more caleb bonham. Ten hours . Whats the problem with that . Whats the problem with it . Its the results that were seeing from park. It is approved standardized testing implemented in several states across the country, but put in a place and taking this ridiculous amount of time for students to complete. And its because of what theyre being taught. Its definitely in line from what weve seen with common core. Takes forever to complete, and causing students and educators a lot of problems. Gerri so caleb, let me interrupt you for just a second. You and i talked a lot about common core, and how some of the teachings are almost indescribably convoluted and difficult to understand, particularly math. And now these demands that students stay for longer than a basic eight hour day to complete tests that dont advance them to the next grade. I dont know the purpose of these tests. So what is the point of this . Well, you know, the point is theyre using the students as guinea pigs. The way they implement the tests across states varies by states. In arizona, the parcc test will not count towards graduation, students dont have to complete it and pass it to graduate. They do have to do it to graduate excuse me, it goes on their grade, it goes on their grade. In colorado, several teachers are coming out and saying that theyre not going administer the parcc test. It sits students down, they have to read the essay and watch a video during the test. Thats why its taking so long and its the new methods that theyre using on students as guinea pigs. Gerri a lot of reaction, you mentioned reaction to the tests, but a lot of governors across the country saying we dont like common core. This isnt working for our students. Louisiana governor bobby jindel made his protest in court. What is the end game for this . Are we going to get rid of common core or is it here to stay . Seeing uproots of grassroots organizers that are fed up with common core and what its teaching. You know, this is supposed to be the parcc tests are supposed to prepare all the students that take it for career and college readiness. Thats not what makes students thrive when they go out into the workforce. They need to be taught standard skills, how to read and write properly. How to think critically is one of the most important things, and the career will come naturally, this is sort of a command style of education where bureaucrats think they know best. And its take the authority away from parents, and parents are not putting up with it. Interesting thing this is an issue that unites the left and the right. Youre seeing as i mentioned earlier in colorado, teachers are protesting this, writing essays, that comes from liberal educators, because they see this is an opportunity for certain organizations to make a profit on kids and not actually teach them anything. Parents are outraged. Gerri i have to tell you the first person i heard from about common core was a parent who was outraged. Thats why we continue to cover it. Caleb, thank you for coming on, good to see you. Thanks, good to see you, too. We get your reaction to reports the u. S.

See how startupny can help your business grow at startup. Ny. Gov. Gerri gm Ceo Mary Barra trying to reassure investors and the public that the automaker is ready to fix all those faulty ignition switches. Those problems have been blamed for at least 23 deaths. Jeff flock has the latest from gm. Jeff . Reporter she really tried to put it in the Rearview Mirror today, and i think to some degree, if you look at the stock, maybe she did, on a day when the market was broadly down, gm stock up almost 2 . Mary barra near the milford proving grounds, and made a good case for gm going forward, saying the company will have 910 pretax profit in the coming decade, that will be better than ford. She said that theyre going to push cadillac in a big way with four new cadillac models. Europe is going to be profitable again by 2016. But you got to come back to the recall thing, its something that doesnt go away, take a look at these numbers at the industry in general in terms of recalls. Gm, we did these calculations, and theyre interesting, gerri. Recalls for everybody. How many recalls compared to how many sales . Its interesting, but the guys with the most recalls somehow get the most sales. Gm this month up 19 . Chrysler up 19 . Toyota up 1 . These are all the highest recall numbers. The guys that did best on recalls was ford. They actually were down in sales. So in some sense a little recall schmecal. The buying public doesnt care much about it. Maybe they put it in the Rearview Mirror. Gerri isnt that due to the fact, if theres a recall, people take the car back to the dealership and they see something they might like better . Wouldnt have thought of that. By golly, that seems to be exactly whats happening. You get in there, and you see the new technology that you wouldnt have seen otherwise, and you make a sale. That does seem to be whats happening out there. Gerri one more question for you. I want to know if mary barra really addressed the money that the company is going to have to spend to compensate those victims . You know, this was an investor day, that was the question that she definitely got. And she said at this point, not knowing what the d. O. J. Is going to do and that could be a huge fine out there, but right now, they dont believe its going to cost them any more than they originally thought it was going to cost between 3 and 4 billion. They allowed for that. At this point, unless we get on Something Else from the government, they think theyre in good shape. Gerri jeff, thanks for that. Thanks, gerri. Gerri well, im sure that many of you out there remember the long gas lines, or the oil embargo from the 1970s. Times have changed. By 2020, get this, in five years, the United States is expected to be the Biggest Oil Producer on the planet i went to the streets of new york today to see if new yorkers knew about that . Which one of these countries will be the biggest producer of oil in five years . I think the u. S. Why do you think that . I think that because i think theres a lot of oil in the u. S. Its just a matter of discovering it. Gerri which of these countries will be the Biggest Oil Producer in five years . Saudi arabia. United states. States. China. United states. China. Im going to go with United States. Saudi arabia. I would say the United States. Iran or iraq. In five years, just five years, which country is going to be the biggest producer of oil on the planet . And you can choose from one of these. United states. Gerri you are so right, how did you know that . Were Technology Advanced and finding new ways to create things that nobody else could do. Its the u. S. well, that big shift in favor of the u. S. Is driven by the boom in shale oil as one of the people said, in the International Agency says americas need for middle east oil is going to fall to nearly zero in the next ten years.

Gerri my next guest is a youtube sensation, with a nack for explaining new technologies to the average consumer, and he is so good at it, a former google vp is calling him the best Technology Reviewer on the planet right now. Talk about a great recommendation. Joining me marques brownlee. Great to meet you, you are young, what are you 20 . 20, exactly. Gerri you have 1. 8 million folks subscribing to your words of wisdom, is that right . On the youtube channel, exactly. Gerri why did you start doing this anyway . I started off by buying a laptop so i was doing a lot of research and figuring out buying decision, what i want to been the laptop when i buy it, and eventually i got the laptop and decided there was stuff i was missing, they wanted to see. Gerri you were not happy with it . I wanted to know more, i liked the laptop afterwards, i ended up making the screen casts and tutorials about the specific laptop. Gerri from what i hear, the videos on youtube are like look at this. You can understand whats going on. Is that your goal . Yeah. Theres a fine line not fine line, theres a broad line between the people who are beginners in tech and they dont know much about it, and the experts and people who are really, really into, it trying to talk to both groups of people is the biggest challenge. Gerri so it looks like youre putting something together in this video. I dont know what the heck youre doing. How does it work . Started with one take clips, pressing record, talking to the camera, showing and stopping and upload that, and thats the video. Today theres a much more elaborate process, im putting together videos, cutting together reviews of things. Explaining things and talking about other things. Gerri lets talk about the categories youre covering here, its pretty wide. What might i see you doing on your Youtube Video channel . A couple of play lists i put together. There would be all of the uploads, they are categorized you would see an explained play list, or technical topics that should be broken down. I have a reviews play list which is literally reviewing consumer electronic, essentially anything with an on button, phone, tablet, computer, and then the tutorial of what ive done in the past and fun videos that are separate from everything else. Gerri you were talking about how much more sophisticated your videos are now than they used to be. How long does it take to make one now . A fiveminute view, if its a review video, minus the research for the stuff, it will take about six to ten hours of just shooting and editing. Gerri wow, thats so cool. Yeah. Gerri all right, youre in schools, youre a student, what are you studying . What do you want to do with life . Is this your fulltime occupation and do you make a lot of money doing it . Im still in school. I get asked a lot what i want to do after school. I dont know anything other than i want to keep doing videos, its a lot of fun. I do make money from it, that shows up along the bottom of the video or the preroll before the video. That revenue gets split between me and google whos creating that space for the ads because they own youtube. So yeah, that is gerri a piece of the action. Makes up for the costs of equipment and buying the devices they review. Gerri is this your livly hood from now on . I would like for it to be. If it isnt, i wont stop making videos, its a lot of fun. The average age of the youtube star is 15 now. You might be getting long in the tooth for this. You worry about that . No, plenty of people way older doing tech videos and youtube stuff all over the place, its going to be fun for a long time. Gerri its a pleasure to meet you. Thank you.

Liz tracking down family, friends and anybody else who may come in close contact with a man in texas hospital with ebola, but is the us prepared for an Ebola Outbreak. We ask the question, 8 percent said yes, 92 percent said no. And finally tonight, gloves or drugs. Thats the choice the worlds governments have in their efforts to try and protect us from ebola. Either isolate and treat victims or find a drug to inoculate the broader public. Too little known programs one in the Defense Department and one in health and Human Services trying to find a drug to combat ebola. Unfortunately the government blue it. One solution languished in government hands for the past year. They had enough to treat two aid workers in atlanta, but theres not any left. The last entity of finding the solution to ebola is probably the government. All respect to the cdc and the Drug Department, but they arent a Drug Department and they probably shouldnt be. Thats my 2 cents more. And thats it for tonights willis report. Thanks for joining us. Have a great night charles big market sell out today. Dow down 238 points.
