Nyu school of medicine. What a pleasure to see you. Nice to see you, too. Ashoka mukpo is ebola free. Can this i mean, this is the best diagnosis you could ever look for. Its great news now the virus is no longer in his body. Its not attacking him. Nobody around him is at risk of catching the virus either. Its not necessarily even is perfect. It attacks your liver and kidneys. It can take some time for those organs to recover. Does it have a permanent damage . Not necessarily. If youre young and healthy you can bounce back. If you had problems with the organ it is might take a little longer. Anybody that had the cold or flu it takes some time to get your strength back. Its great news. What can other doctors learn from his treatment especially with it comes to a possible vaccine . Its great. His body learned how to beat the virus. Thats the idea of a vaccine you give somebody a weak form of the virus and their virus figures out how to fight it. In this case, people can use his blood to learn a little bit more in terms of vaccine development. Shefed a blood transfusion from dr. Brantly. So, you know, we have to tease out what is caused by what. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel as far as vaccines or, you know, cures . I think these are all positive developments. So the world is taking this much more seriously. It looks like vaccine trials are getting ready to be started especially in mall lilee. In terms of containing the virus weve had eight people in the u. S. Treated for ebola. Now all seem to be making, except for duncan, all the others seem to be taking steps in the right direction. Hospitals here continue to deal with this. Thousands of Health Care Workers here in new york yesterday were a part of a Training Session with cdc officials. How were they doing . What were they doing . I think people have concerns. You never know if youre prepared until you get tested. But the fact were taking it more seriously were not just assuming we can handle the virus. I think its a positive sign. Theres a lot of trading sessions, the cdc come out with new protocols and guidelines. Im optimistic about that. And we have to put this into context. Its such a localized, small incident in comparison to the world. Yeah. What it can be here but in temples of the world. Theres still a how much project in west africa. Im hoping at least in terms of the ebola survivors. These people cannot get ebola again. Maybe we can recruit them to train them how to treat some of the other patients. Theyre not in danger of catching it. You can never get it again . At least for ten years it seems. Some things here, lets say if you have the chickenpox. You cant catch it a second time if we can train the people to treat the sick folks. Thats another way of lowering the damage. Fascinating. Its a pleasure to see you in person. Lets go live to the white house. New ebola czar ron klain arrived a couple of hours ago. Kristen weller joins us. Good morning. Thats right ron klain left his house while it was stark dark outside. Arrived a the white house. Hell hold meetings throughout the day and at 3 00 in the afternoon hes going to meet with president obama and his entire team that is tasked with working on the governments response to ebola. Now, of course, theres a lot of pressure on klain to hit the ground running. He has gotten some criticism because he didnt have a background in health care. The white house said hes the right person for this job. He was the chief of staff to Vice President biden, former chief of staff to former Vice President al gore. The white house said he knows how government works. Of course, this all comes as the cdc has just issued new recommendations so part of his task will be to make sure that hospitals across the country are implementing those new recommendations. Making sure for the white house, congress, all the agencies who are tapped with dealing with the Ebola Response are communicating and on the same page. Of course, theres a lot of pressure to reassure the public but this comes just ahead of those all important crucial midterms and the white house really cant afford anymore missteps on this particularly with democrats fighting to hold on to the senate. Kristen welker from the white house. Thank you so much. Now im joined by new york congressman. The fifth highest ranking democrat of the house. Vice president of the democratic caucus. What a pleasure to see you. This is all good news. We have a new czar taking his responsibility of as of today. We have what seems to be people getting cured. Are we turning the page . Well, i think this is certainly a health concern. I think we have to have perspective. I think thats what has been lacking overall. I think the media has a job to do. Government has a job to do in the private sector in terms of the health care has a job to do. I think its working. This is not something ha we should just regard say all is well. Theres more work that need to be done. The president s appointment of a czar is going to be helpful. I think it certainly would be helpful if we had a Surgeon General in place. Lacking that, i think were making progress. This is something that we can control. Its not easily spread. Its not as contagious as maybe some people believe it is. Its not airborne. I think were doing a good job. And part of the response of the ebola crisis it includes tighter traffic. All the passengers required to go to one of five u. S. Airports. Some lawmakers think its not enough. I think its reasonable. I think its prudent steps that are being taken. One of the airports is we are concerned about the issue of travel. But we have to keep things in perspective. Theres only the five airports where theyll be coming through. We have the people there to monitor them. To take their temperatures. To be the first line of defense. And theyre protected. And we come in. They evaluate. If they are found to have the virus or suspected of having that, theyre dealt with immediately. Let me switch to another global challenge. The pentagon said its not sure about the validity of new video showing isis with a bundle of weapons apparently air dropped by the u. S. Near kobani on sunday. You see the video. At the same time the turks are helping in the fight. How concerned are you about the war on the ground . Its a very complex issue. I think the president mapped that out when he talked about it to the mesh people in terms of the steps were taking. That congress has taken in conjunction to the president. This is going to be a long battle against isil. Theyre a brutal end it. They have very little regard for human life. What their purpose their structure is try to create an islamic state. If that happens, if they are successful it will be a direct threat to the United States. Theyve said its part of their mantra to destabilize us. So, look, in war and air drops, sometimes mistakes happen. Theyre not what we want to do. Keep in mind they have our weapons. They took them from the iraqi army . Far more sophisticated than what is being dropped. That was not anticipated. It was unfortunate as well. We shouldnt make, you know, so much about these Little Things when bigger things are happening. What is happening positively is that the kurdish are allowed to cross through turkey now. Its a major step. The turks have turned around terms of allowing a foreign soldiers to cut through their boarder to get to syria and take the fight to isis. And now while i have you here. A midterm politics chat. If thats okay with you. Isis and ebola are being used to bring fear into the campaigns. For example, it was discussed last night in the New Hampshire Senate Debate moderated by chuck todd. Lets take a look at the exchange between sheahan and brown. Theyre concerned about our border. Theyre concerned about ebola. Theyre concerned about travel and people coming into our country without Proper Authority and potentially carrying diseases. Probablily being terrorist or criminal elements. We need to work together. What we dont need is people who are fear mongering. Spreading panic in the public. Do you think youre going it lose the battle to peer . Using fear in elections. News at 11 00. Just vetted. Look, this has been used many, many times before. Sometimes with effect sometimes not. I think, you know, ultimately what the election is about is about the future and the surv e survivability of the middle class. The voters will decide what direction the country will take. Its plenty of time in the next two weeks for them to focus on the election. These rshs of concer theyre not the crises that one would like to make them into. Were handling them. This is the United States. We can handle big things. So far theres been no isis terrorist with ebola crossing the southern border. Not yet. I think those, again, is another angle to bring fear. And, look, were the United States. We can do bing things if we can put our minds to it. Thats what we should be about. Congressman, a pleasure. Thank you. So i come to new york and theyre dealing with a nasty noreaster. I didnt bring a jacket or anything. The scar or the ear things. Its basically all the rain and twhand comes with a Tropical Storm from south florida but without the warm temperatures and with an attitude.

Now my doctor recommends a bayer aspirin regimen to help prevent another heart attack. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. And we have some breaking news. Youre looking at a live picture. Two people shot. One believed to be a soldier at national war me memorial in canada. They heard bangs and saw a man holding either a rifle, a large gun. Canadian television is reporting the shooter is still on the loose and were watching different live shot locations of where the war memorial is. You can see theres not a lot of running now. Theres clearly a lot of tension. As of right now, it is believed that the shooter may not be in custody. This is a capital of can dap. Were watching. Its a pretty heavily armed vehicle there. Its turning into the area. This is in the capital in Parliament Hill in ottawa. Were keeping a close watch on this. Five, six shots possibly carried out at the war memorial. One soldier, apparently injured so far. You are seeing movement. People looking now for the person behind the shooting. Well keep you updated as to this breaking story. And you know what . This is the perfect example. Its no secret that right now we live in a world where peace is too often a short supply. Two weeks ago she was awarded the nobel peace prize. My colleague and friend interviewed her yesterday. Her first interview as a nobel winner. Spending all this money on the wars, on the military. You should spend it on education. Thats the best way to fight against ignorance, to fight against terrorism, and to fight against all these conflicts with refacing together. So thats what i ask there is a lot of money being spent on these military activities. It they spend it on education youll see a big change. Ronan is with me this morning. Good to be here. Tell me about what you felt what struck you about her. Shes incredibly rounded. I mean, it may seem trite to say. She is just a 17yearold girl and she talks like one. We saw a side in the interview of her that was in touch with that. With the british schoolgirl, one of the things she told me was her first late homework assignment because she won the nobel and she had to say im sorry i missed the assignment. Better than the dog ate my homework. The teacher responded you still have to turn in the assignment. Thats her side of her. That struck me on a human level. Also, shes challenging all the norms that are behind some of our worst security threats in the world. So she is a central part of the offensive against a kind of extremism that the United States is confronting right now. What a strong person. Incredibly. One of the strongest people i have ever encountered. Time magazine said she has done more to confront the taliban in pakistan than the Pakistani Military and their full mite. And just yet the headlines three girls from colorado who were found in germany trying to get to syria. Possibly to fight alongside isis or any of the other terrorist groups. Theres 1500 of them in syria. You asked her about that. Thats right. And that is, as you say, a central feature of the isis defensive. The state department estimates there may be up to 12,000 foreign fighters in their ranks. Various estimates where the individuals come from. Up to 100 americans according to some estimates including New York Times estimate. This is a real problem. She had an impassioned message for them. She said its important we question the norms. Question the authorities. And you actually spoke to her about her conversation with president obama. I did. Thats one of the most surprising things. Well have the rest of the interview at 1 00 p. M. Which we cannot miss. Its interesting for our audience, i think. She went for the jugular on the issue of drone strikes in pakistan she feels its creating more terrorists rather than stopping them. I pushed back on her on that and represented some of the viewpoints in this country that think that the strikes are justified. She has a really, really compelling and personal argument on that. Thank you so much. Thank you for coming in and speaking to me. Its a pleasure to see you, my friend. You can catch the rest of the interview today at 1 00 p. M. Right here on msnbc. A first court date for a man Police Believe killed at least seven women maybe more. How did he do it and who did he prey upon . The details coming up.

To developing news out of indiana with the man who police say confessed to killing seven women in northwestern indiana is in court right now. Its the first hearing for darren vann on charges related to the strangulation death to 19yearold. Charges are pending for vann in other cases. How does Something Like this happen . The question is, why does it happen to these women . The serial killers, weve been studying them for years. Theres nothing new under the sun. Power, control. They target vulnerable victims. This is how they get away with it. We werent looking for a serial killer because we didnt have the bodies. They were in abandoned houses. Police didnt know they had a serial killer. Where are the searches for the young ladies when they disappear . Where are they coming to the media . They are very often women without voice. Theyre sex workers. Sometimes they have histories of mental illness, drug abuse. Their families try to get help. Unless so you a body the police chalk it up to missing women. The bodies senior oix other were found in abandoned homes. I think the police are taking this very seriously. Statements th s thas that vann them think hes been doing it for a long time. They usually dont come to it in their late 30s. I want to switch to another crime weve been following. Manhunt for eric frein in pennsylvania. The man who fatally shot a state trooper last month. Hes been on the run ever since then. What are police doing wrong . I dont think the police are doing anything wrong. What hes doing right. Dont under estimate this man. Hes a survival toast the core. He planned it for months in advance. Hes a ninja wilderness survivalist. Hes going get away because he has stuff stored. What happens when winter sets in. Why is that different . Assuming he killed the officer in september. Now its october. The weather is good. They think hes living in caves. Theyre using infrared and heat sensor and they cant see him from aerial views. Hes going have to start to build fires to keep warm or break into hunting cabins or something to find shelter. I would be shocked to see if he could go the whole winter without getting caught. Up next the midterms and the women vote. The women from the cycle join me next. Just into the news room. Officials confirming to nbc news shots were fired. Some sort of uniformed officer possibly a soldier was shot. The Parliament Building is on lock down. No motive as of yet. Were following all developments in this case. Well be right back.

This election is important to everybody. Its especially important to the women of colorado. As far as im concerned, and as far as mark is concerned, when he fights for womens rights he is fighting on the frontier of freedom. Hillary clinton in colorado on tuesday with a focus on womens vote. Mark udall leads by nine points in colorado. On a national scare a new poll has women favoring a gop in a surprising shift this morning. Matt dredge happy to put lipstick on the headline poll shock women want republicans. Joining me to talk about the women vote. Is the cycle. Its a pleasure to see you in person. Abby, tell me about the shift. You have to love the dredge report headlines. Theyre always creative. Its an interesting shift just two years after 2012 when it felt like the Republican Party could not catch a break with women thanks in large part to todd akin. I dont want to speak for everyone women out there. Im turned off by it. I think like were used bay prop. Turned off by what specifically . Used as a prop, i think, for oftentimes white men hoping that if the political gain for them. You look at a race like colorado, the senate race there udall against gardener which is fascinating, i think, udall made that his focus. Right. Trying to shine the light against gardener say hes against womens rights. Which gardener changed his tune a bit but hes focus on things that women care a lot about which is economy, equality, education. On the other hand, the republicans havent gauged their policy much. What do you think is happening . I object to the idea that womens issues being focussed on makes women a political prop. I think a lot of women are encouraged by the fact that politicians want to talk about issues of importance to them. But i think one thing that has happened is the best message for democrats have been around equal pay. Have been around access to birth control, have been around even minimum wage. Which is a womens issue. Women disproportionately earn the minimum wage. When so you have beheadings, isis, and ebola, suddenly the concerns move off to the side. I think thats what were seeing. One aspect i wanted to point to here. We did some analysis and even the womens issues have been front and center and politicians have been lobbing for the women vote. Few of the debate moderators have actually been women. So you havent had many women out there to question these candidates. Such a great point. By the way, zero latinos, too. Thats exactly right. 92 of debate moderators in senate races have been white, and seven out of ten have been men. Thats an interesting part. It make answer interesting point. Its a lot about the mood of the country where we are at now. Women thinking about families and family. People dont feel safe and they tie it back to president obama who has done with women. You look at recent polls and its lowered recently. I think thats a big factor. Where do you see women being a big part of the electorate . What places . Colorado. More than half of the population theyre going to be important across the country. Yeah. And i do think that because other issues have taken center stage, some of the kick has gone out of mark udall as attacks there. Arkansas is another one where the womens vote would be important. Minimum wage, social security, and medicare were big focus in the race. Cotton move aid head. Its wherever. Women is important all over the country. Also governors races. I find the floridas governor race. Lets talk about that. Last night was a debate. First one without the fan. There was sweating but you couldnt see it. As a matter of fact, give me your thoughts on that well, it was a really nasty debate. I would say that it was incredibly personal, you know, theyre both trying to make the other one look like the mitt romney of the race. I think we have a sound biyt. I watched a father struggle to buy christmas presents. I went through as a child. Charlie never went through that. You dont know me. You cant tell my story. And im not going to tell yours. But i know youre wolt about 100 or 2 Million Dollars day. God bless your wealth. They call it the sunshine state. Not so shiny. They want to paint the other one out of touch. Youre rich and im not and i was. Exactly. As silly as the moment wl fan was. I think thats the big moment that people will take away the fact that rick scott wouldnt take the teenage over something as stupid and inconsequential as a fan. I have a lot of family in florida. I feel bad for the florida voters. Theyre saying this is the best that weve got. I asked him who theyre voting for and they hesitate. They say its the best of two worst at this point. Its gotten so personal. The attack ads are blanketing the air way ofs. It makes it so people dont want to get out to vote. Its all personal. Its all personal. Theyre not even talking about issues they care about like education. As you know, is one of the worst in the state of florida. I want to show your moms tweet. Oh, lovely. My moms text to me just now are you watching this Florida Governor debate . It is pathetic. Shes a floridian. Shes from orlando. I think she speaks for a lot of florida voters who are are just like this. Its the best. It represents what politics has become. You dont have a lot of rational people saying i want to run for office. Its tough. If theres an overarching theme of the midterm election. Im not sure there it. If it is, its the fact that voters are like, really, its the best you have to offer. Why are we bothering to show up . Attack ads seem to work. Were seeing a the lot of them. Not just in florida. The money is unbelievable. 100 million in the senate race in one senate race 100 million. Its crazy. My motherinlaw made a good point. She said the education is so bad. Why not pbad where not put 25 . We cant talk about the issues because all were seeing is how much someone is worth and whether im sweating and whether i have a fan. Its ridiculous. Thats politics. It is. I think that what people are looking for is do i trust this person . And so all of those things, the person attacks, thats all a proxy for do i trust the person. Do i think theyre going to fight for me and my family. Im sorry youre from florida. I know. Its 24 7. And the worst part you say let me switch to spanish. And you switch and its the same thing only in spanish either language you get bombarded you can catch them every day but you can catch on crystal on msnbc. Com at 11 30 eastern on her Live Streaming web show. Crystal clear. And abby, crystal, and the rest of the cycle. I love them, too. Theyre all right, the other half. Now to omaha.
