Governor christie also saying today he has no plans to actually talk to her about why he decided to lock her up. Governor, when you first [ inaudible ] he has no reason to talk to her . She was merely inconvenienced . Heres why he should talk to casey hickox. Three nights locked in a small tent without a flushable toilet, getting food through a plastic window, in a manner she says made her feel like a, quote, criminal. Shes a hero, fighting ebola on the front lines, saving lives. But governor christies focus has been on scoring political points, accusing the federal government and the Obama Administration of not doing enough. It turns out, governor christie was the one getting isolated. As critics pounced on his poor logic, and as the criticism has mounted, christie kept citing one reason above all for the quarantine. He kept saying miss hickox had a fever. When i history this morning, she still had a fever and was tested for other illnesses after the ebola test game back negative. Its the reason she went to the hospital in the first place, she was running a fever and was symptom attic. Casey hickox disputes that claim, saying she didnt have a fever. And youll never guess who agrees with her. Listen to what governor christie himself said friday night before the controversy erupted. Today a traveler arrived at the airport, a Health Care Worker with a recent history of treating patients with ebola in west africa, but with no symptoms. So she didnt have symptoms. Then why did he decide to put her in that tent . Americans need straight answers, not political posturing. And the Health Care Workers returning from africa deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Joining me now, a former Ohio Governor ted strickland, hes now president of the center for American Progress action fund. And dr. Eileen farland, an Infectious Disease specialist at temple university. She recently returned from liberia, consulting with the world health organization. Thank you both for being here. Thank you for having me. Thank you. Governor strickland, first no symptoms, then symptoms. I mean, isnt this why we dont want dr. Christie in charge of Public Health . Reverend al, this is an example of Chris Christie being Chris Christie. We all know hes a verbal bully and hes doing this, i think, to try to reestablish himself as a strong decisive leader. And the fact that he bragged that before he imposed this quarantine, he didnt even bother to consult with the white house. This is another example of a man who has been discredited in the eyes of the public through his bridgegate episode, lost favor, trying to rebuild his image, and hes going back to that same bullying, braga dosha kind of behavior that we saw from him a few months ago. But i think the people will understand that this is a Public Health matter. We need to listen to the Public Health experts and the last thing we need to do is to allow Chris Christie to embellish his leadership credentials by interjecting himself into a matter that is a medical Public Health matter. Now, you know, we are not at all minimizing that people are concerned and theres fear out there and understandably so. But we need to have rational, responsible leadership on this, doctor, and i just want to say, we just received good news that the 5yearold they were testing here in new york, has come back negative for ebola. And im very glad that he has been found, again, negative in terms of any signs of ebola. But i want to ask you this, doc, cdc just issued new monitoring guidelines for travelers from west africa. Right. It says highrisk travelers should receive Health Monitoring and voluntary isolation. People at some risk, including most Health Care Workers should be monitored. And those at lowrisk should selfmonitor. Whats your assessment of these guidelines . Thats right. I think these guidelines are extremely reasonable, and this is the kind of guidance that governors should be consulting. They should be consulting the Public Health experts before making such drastic decisions on such as a blanket quarantine. Quarantine is a very important measure when applied reasonably. And for people with a highrisk exposure, a needle stick injury, or someone who was taking care of a Family Member and may not have been wearing protective gear, and returns to the u. S. , theyre extremelily highrisk for infection, but the general public and Health Care Providers who provide care wearing appropriate protective gear, are at lowrisk of developing infection. And certainly anyone who is asymptomatic and doesnt have fever or any other symptoms of ebola presents no risk of transmitting the infection to the general public. How do you feel about the treatment of the nurse that was just let out of the tent, what she had said about her treatment, doc . I think its unfortunate. Again, it was a decision that was being discussed at the time at high levels, and unfortunately she arrived at a time when the decision was still under discussion, and there was a hurried decision made. I think, again, quarantine for very highrisk individuals, whove had a definite exposure, may be indicated in some cases, but it should be done in a well thought out manner and people should be allowed to remain at home or in a facility. Well thought out manner. Governor christie used it to get political, got critical of the Obama Administration, saying they werent doing enough, which is why he had to. Listen to this and give me your reaction. Im telling you, guys, this is going to become a national policy. The cdc will come around. Remember, they were late to the game in texas, and we had people infected. Your reaction . He had to because the administration in washington wasnt doing anything. So Chris Christie had to come and show the way. And they all are going to copy him eventually. I dont want to be unfair, but i return to what i said earlier. This is Chris Christie being Chris Christie. He thinks being boisterous, being, you know, speaking forcefully is a sign of leadership. But, you know, what we really need in a situation like this is very careful, thoughtful decisionmaking. And this is a serious matter and thats all the more reason why we should take politics out of it and we should listen to the experts who know more than politicians, and we should then follow their advice and do everything we can within the Scientific Community to protect the people of this country. And, so, politics should have no place in a Public Health issue like this. And people say, well, im not a doctor. Thats all the more reason why we should listen to the doctors. Because they have specialized knowledge. This matter has been studied. And theyre coming forth with guidelines. We ought to follow them. If we do that, i think the American People can be assured that were being protected. Let me ask you this, doctor, before i run out of time. You were in liberia. Tell us what you saw. Share with us what you saw in liberia. Sure. What i saw was an outbreak thats really becoming out of control. There is live spread transmission in liberia. There are people who cannot be admitted to the hospital because there simply arent enough hospital beds, and thats really the main stay of how to control an ebola outbreak. Have you to be able to identify potential cases and isolate them from the rest of the community, so that transmission can be stopped. So in the meantime, the u. S. Dod is helping to build 17 new ebola treatment units, in addition to other organizations. And we need to be encouraging clinicians to respond to this outbreak and not imposing any obstacles to their participation. And if the world had jumped on this sooner, in those three nations, we might not have had the crisis that we are having in terms of at least the fear in the United States, and those that went over are heroes and ought not be treated anything less than that. Governor strickland and dr. Fineman, thank you both for your time tonight. Thank you very much. Coming up, why is george w. Bush so desperate to have his brother run for president .

But it wont last long, so hurry in today. And sea food differently. Countdown to the Midterm Elections, eight days to go. Election day is just over a week away. And theres no excuse not to vote. Think you got problems getting to the ballot box . In hawaii theyre dealing with volcanic lava. Election officials are now actively prepping, preparing backup plans in case lava flow disrupts the vote. Overnight, red hot lava inched even closer to the taylors neighborhood. For weeks, theyve been bracing for the inevitable. The boiling lava is melting asphalt and earth heading to pa hoea. Its real. Its now or never. You know, you back and you got to get out. Waiting and watching. Knowing time is running out. That is a true emergency. So unless youve got lava pouring down your driveway, get out and vote, because this election is too close to stay at home. New nbc polls show the race within the margin of error in five key races. States that will determine who holds the senate. Its a dead heat. And democrats are now trying to make sure voters know just how extreme these republican candidates really are. Heres the ad that democrats are running against joni ernst in iowa. They talk about relying on Social Security. And joni ernst talks about privatizing it. Yes, i have talked about privatizing Social Security. Shes talked about privatizing Social Security. You know who else just talked about it last week . Mitch mcconnell. After bush was reelected in 2004, he wanted us to try to fix Social Security. I spent a year trying to get any democrat in the senate, even the most reasonable one of all, even joe lieberman, to help us. Excuse me . Bush wanted to fix Social Security . His plan was to privatize Social Security. And mcconnell is now bragging about it. Whether its the safety net, or Womens Health or minimum wage, republicans in this election are more extreme than ever. And thats the agenda they want to bring to the u. S. Senate. Joining me now is Jess Mcintosh from emilys list, and the Washington Post dana millbank. Thank you both for being here. Jess, i thought this was supposed to be the year republicans rode an antiobamacare wave to victory. So why are so many races still so close . Its amazing that democrats are playing at all in 2014 with this map. The states that they were looking at are not traditionally good ones for democrats. Kentucky, georgia, arkansas, alaska. But obamacare is not a terribly salient issue this year, when it seems to be working fairly well. Unfortunately, republicans have zero fallback plan. Once theyre done attacking the president , theyre done talking, full stop. Theres no, so elect me to the senate so that i can do x, y, and z for american families. They used to talk about lowering taxes or the deficit, things that at least sounded good. Theyre not even trying on that this year. This is their map and their cycle, and they are running on essentially nothing. Dana, you know, in a debate last night, the gop Senate Candidate in georgia, david perdue, he made some very revealing comments. Listen. When you have a failed presidency, you have to prosecute t because we deserve better than were getting right now. The problem is, when we look at the direction of this country, weve got to make a hard righthand turn. A hard righthand turn . Prosecute the presidency . I mean, do republicans view this as an election, or a trial . Maybe he thought they should persecute the president , which is what theyve been doing for the last six years now. That was sort of inadvertently revealing. Although it should be said, remember, the House Republicans were going to sue the president over obamacare. Seems they forgot about it. They never actually filed the lawsuit. And jess is right, the election has become, not necessarily about no issues, but its just about, you know, just throw the whole kitchen sink in there and of all things now, some people are trying to make this Midterm Election of 2014 about ebola. And that makes about as much sense as lava running uphill in hawaii. Let me ask you this, republicans seem to be desperately trying to change their message on issues like Womens Health issues. They sure do. The antiwomens policies of the last few years. Check out this ad from Mitch Mcconnell aimed at his opponent, Alison Lundergan grimes. Alison Lundergan Grimes wants me to think that im not good enough. That i couldnt get a job unless washington passed more laws. She wants me to believe that strong women and strong values are incompatible. I mean, do republicans think that voters, particularly women voters have amnesia . I mean, clearly they must. Also, i think that the kinds of ads that they are running on womens issues, like the one you just played, there are ads sprinkled around across the country, where theyre coming out and saying theyre in favor of equal pay for equal work, but not saying they voted against it. Scott walker saying hell leave the decision up to a woman and her doctor. But he didnt hold that position in high school much less as governor. Theyre on the defensive about womens issues. We are seeing historic gender gaps. Thats what happened in 2012. And in 2014, weve seen 20 and 30point gender gaps. They wont change their policies, so theyre trying really hard to obfuscate by changing their message and i dont think its going to work in the last eight days of an election. Dana, i want to go back to something you said. Political reports that despite republican hype the house still hasnt actually filed the lawsuit against president obama that they announced four months ago, since you brought up the lawsuit i wanted to go back to that. Politico says that, quote, some close to the process attribute the delay to electoral politics, suggesting that republicans were worried it could rile up the democratic base. Republicans said, were facing a constitutional crisis. But now theyre skipping this lawsuit because they think it could backfire, dana. Right. This was all cooked up at a time they thought obamacare would be the big issue. Now its died as an issue and its swept under the rug. This was done at a time when everybody was calling obama a tyrant and lawless and ignoring the constitution. In the last few days, the republican critique has been hes been so week on ebola and ineffective, and just a terribly weak leader. So i dont know whether hes this crushing dictator, or a weak leader. But the whole idea of it just changing situationally to get them through the 2014 mid terms, which, lets face it, looked quite good for the republicans. But say this in suspended animation, because the larger electoral situation, two years later, it gets flipped on its head. Thats true. Thank you both for your time. Coming up, the hatchet attack sparked new questions about lonewolf attacks. Today were seeing tweets from an american teenager who tried to join isis fighters in syria.

In the gops makebelieve land of oz, they claim the magical key to economic success is cutting taxes for the rich, and getting government out of the way. But for every oz, theres a kansas. Also known as reality. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback followed the yellow brick road into office, promising tax cuts and thus, prosperity. An agenda focused on job growth and prosperity for our people. Todays legislation will create tens of thousands of new jobs and help to make kansas the best place in the america to start and grow a small business. So how has his tax cut experiment worked out . Terribly. And theres new evidence to prove it. Tax revenue is way down. 330 million less than expected. And thats not all. Kansas bond rating has been downgraded twice. And the poverty rate has gone up every year governor brownback has been in office. The theory failed. Theres proof, and it goes all the way back to the original man behind the curtain, ronald reagan. Back in the 80s, he signed huge tax cuts into pllaw and explode the budget deficit. It was 74 billion when he came into office and 155 billion when he left. But republicans just dont get it. In fact, they want to bring the kansas experiment to the rest of the country. Mitch mcconnell told governor brownback, quote, this is exactly the sort of thing we want to do here in washington but cant at least for now. If only we could click our heels three times and wake up from this republican economic nightmare. Did the gop think we wouldnt notice the economic theory is melting.

Com this is humira at work the recent terrorist attacks in canada and new york are bringing a spotlight to selfradicalization of socalled lonewolf terrorists. Were learning the gunman who killed a soldier in canada last week made a video of himself that police say show he was driven by idlogical and political motive. He reportedly also had ties to canadian jihadists who shared his radical view of islam. Here in new york, authorities are calling the bloody hatchet attack on police, an act of terror. He was visiting terrorist websites and looking at acts of violence online right before he attacked. This issue, the selfradicalized, the lone wolf, if you will, has grown to be one of increasing concern. It appears, just from the electronic forensic piece of this, that this is something he has been thinking about for sometime and thinking about with more intensity in recent days. When it comes as we learn more about the three colorado teens stopped in germany last week, trying to fight with isis in syria. The wall street journal confirmed the 16yearold twitter account today before it was taken down. On september 11th, she tweeted. May alas curse being upon the United States government and every lap dog regime following in its foot steps. And slandering, being monthing those who have gone forth for the sake of allah is a really cheap move. Then in a more recent tweet, she wrote, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented, will have the punishment of hell. Youre looking for students, children, women, boys, who are disenfranchised for whatever reason, who feel as though they dont belong. And are very much looking for a place where they might belong. And thats what we think happened here. So how are these homegrown terrorists getting recruited . And how are we preparing to defend the homeland . Joining me now is ken gould, senior fellow with the center for American Progress. Ken, thank you for being here. Thank you very much, al. Appreciate it. The lone wolf attacks at home are a little different than the girls going to syria. But how are both recruited . Well, it certainly is the case that isis has been very skilled at using the social media tools that are available to all of us to push out its message to individuals who may be inclined to support their radical view of islamist theology. Because they have this focus on the individual, they have been more successful than al qaeda ever was, at trying to inspire these individuals into going out and committing these almost random acts of violence. Now, you know, it was very interesting to me, and disturbing, the 16yearold who turned to join isis. In july, this same young lady was tweeting antiisis statements. The wall street journal reports that on july 24th, she retweeted, quote, isis wants to be taken seriously, yet majority of their supporters insult, degrade, mock, or threaten our deaths. No, this is not islam. And she retweeted, do not call a 16yearold child, girls, running away, a holy pilgrimage. My god, do you people even care about your family . But soon after this, people who know the girl said she became distant. How does a child become radicalized so quickly . As you said in the leadin, you had a situation where this particular girm, but its not just limited to just this one individual, something happened to trigger a kind of radicalization, a change in their in the way that they see things. This is not uncommon in young people. Unfortunately now, there are predators out there who seek out individuals like this, who specifically target them and try and push them and draw them in to this type of terrorist violence. Now, i would draw a distinction between what happened with these three girls and with others who then travel or attempt to travel to syria or iraq and try to join isis there. With what happened in new york last week, which just seems to be a very isolated incident where the individual may have seen things online, but was not a part of any network, was not receiving instructions or training or anything like that. And that is the true lone wolf. And how do you stop . How do you even approach trying to stop Something Like the lonewolf attack in new york . Well, its very difficult. And i dont mean to say that we should be throwing up our hands and saying theres nothing we can do. But we do need to look at it with perspective. Any individual act of violence is a tragedy for the victims, and i feel very much for the victims of this particular attack in new york. But there is a limited amount of violence that any one individual can do. Its the really organized, systematic attacks that the government and our Law Enforcement agencies are well equipped to detect and disrupt and prevent. The one thing we can do is keep the most dangerous weapons out of the hands of these individuals. And its unbelievable to me, that as of now, people on the terrorism watch list can buy any weapon in the United States that they want. Even right now . Even right now. And while we are growing concern about these new lonewolf terrorists, i think we should judge peoples seriousness on whether they actually want to prevent this kind of violence by their willingness to close that loophole. Its absolutely ludicrous to say that lonewolf terrorism is a problem, but you are not going to prevent people on the terrorism watch list from buying guns.

Is america ready for another bush running for president . Jeb is seriously thinking about it, according to his son. Is your dad going to run for president . I think hes still assessing it. Do you think its more than 50 or less . I think its more than likely that hell run. If you would have asked me a few years back, i would have said its less likely. So the family will be behind him . 100 , if he decides to do it. Jeb bushs spokesperson saying today, hes not yet made a decision on running, but a decision could come late this year. You know what that means, we might see a bush clinton rematch. Is this the fight we want to see . Is america ready . I feel like don king right now. Thats how great this fight would be. Of course, yeah, who wouldnt want it . This is the political equivalent of thunder dome. You know, this is the like the mad max of politics right here. Bush versus clinton. You cant get any better than this. Except the problem is, jeb is not nearly as funny as george. Thats the only problem i have with him running. So as a comedian . Im not as happy. Because i dont see jeb looking into a camera and going, im the decider. Im sorry. I view this a little bit differently. Still trying to get over him being the don king of politics. I look at it differently. Well have a retread of the same characters weve seen in political life for decades now. Thats the best we can put forward . I dont read the comments its hard to say whether he was saying its more than likely hes thinking about running, or thinking of running. I dont think its quite as definitive. I lot of people are reading into it what they want. Some in the chatter class in the media is that us . [ laughter ] they want that race. I tell you what im thinking. I wish i could have been a fly on the wall when they told barbara bush, listen, you got to tone it down a bit. Dont keep talking about the fact that hes undecided and its not a good idea. She was the only one saying, weve had enough, everyones had enough of the bushes and im with barbara, quite frankly. Had enough. How do you, if youre clinton or bush, run against, well, we dont want to go backwards when both of them represent the past . I think thats the challenge for both of them. When you think the name bush, you still very much associate it with george w. , and i also think jeb will have a problem getting through the primary. Its been clunky in his rollout, as hillary has been a bit clunky in her initial campaign rollout. Drive the money and whip the tea party in line. Well see. Lets go on to Rosie Odonnell coming to the defense of model Christie Teague an. It started last week after the shooting in canada. The model tweeted, quote, active shooting in canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday. She faced major listen backlash, even saying she was quitting twitter. Roser odonnell came to her defense and continued her thoughts. This is what she said. Active shooting in canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday. That is a brilliant, succinct, onesentence thought that i completely agree with. It is so common place to have shootings in america that it doesnt even make the news anymore. Its not a joke. Its a fact. Im like bravo, Chrissy Teague an. Now rosy is facing backlash. Do they have a point, though . In terms of the backlash, i think that only the timing moment of any kind of point they might have. Perhaps it wasnt the best timing. But this tweet actually came out before the washington shootings that we saw and we were all just so devastated by it as well. So no, i think she was holding up a mirror to a very, very issue. And the fact that she received such hatred. If you dont like it, its america, now what are you going to do about it . We are so desensitized to gun violence in this country, that we are mad about a person tweeting about it, as opposed to to actually being mad at the gun violence . How crazy is that . Its not like anyones refuting the fact that we have become too complacent with this. In ottawa in 2013, do you know how many homicides there were in ottawa . Nine. Now, i will say twitter is not the best place to make a really thoughtful and nuanced point. It is a challenging forum and i understand the timing of it was difficult. But the fact that we have an epidemic in this country of gun violence is just a fact. We dont have a Surgeon General right now. [ all speak at once ] i think chrissy got all of us talking and i think thats a good thing. Im sorry for the backlash she got. Now to a Botched National anthem. Before last nights world series game, aaron lewis, the lead singer of the band staind, lets say he had a rough night. Oh say can you see by the dawns early light what so proudly we hailed were so gallantly streaming of course the mocking game immediately it came. But a lot of it was in the form of him being unpatriotic. Partly because many of his songs are about patriotism. And he openly sings about the rattle snake flag with a simple statement. That statement, the tea party dont tread to me slogan. And he has it tattooed on his neck. Kriftel, the Tea Party Hero botches the anthem. Does it get any worse. I was all ready to feel bad for this guy. If i got up to sing the national anthem, im not sure how it would come out. But then i looked back and he had criticized Christina Aguilera for the same thing. So now i think its karma. I think he should get a new tattoo, karma is a b. [ laughter ] actually, what am i going to say after that . Im not even going to say my joke. That was better. [ laughter ] you could get biblical and say, you reap what you sew. There you go. But it is well, everybody stay with me. Because when we come back, ive got something for you to comment on. The ray rice costume. Yes, its happening. Thats next. A brand new start.

Were back with our panel, kri whatever youre planning for halloween, it better not be this. This is a bad idea. Its the photo lighting up the internet. It shows a man dressed as ray rice carrying around a blowup doll thats supposed to be his wife janay palmer. And it followed this ray rice costume with a man in black face, and a woman with a black eye. And heres one showing a little kids ray rice, hes ray rice with a doll. Chuck, take this one, please. Worst costume ever, chuck . It is the worst costume ever. And what is it about halloween that brings out in people this urge to be completely inappropriate and biggoted at the same time. Its like how do i get my completely disregard for social politeness and biggotry to come together in the perfect sandwich of offensiveness. Thats what halloween has become. I liken it to when a little boy who pulls a girls hair. People who do the black face thing. I want to be black so bad, but my conditioning wont allow me to do it in the appropriate manner. This is what happens. Someone knocks on your door dragging a doll, in black face, and they want you to give them candy. I would say, this is halloween and things are supposed to be scary. Domestic violence is really scary. But this isnt the way to go about addressing it. Why dont you volunteer at a shelter or read up about the issues, and that way you would never even think to dress up as ray rice for halloween. Thats a good point. Isnt the danger that most of the people that do trick or treating and the kids should not be made to feel that theres something funny or comical about Domestic Violence . Absolutely. The adults that were pictured are idiots and racists and heartless and thoughtless. Sort of like the sexy ebola costume. Its crazy, but with a kid, its disturbing, because this is something, an idea his parents had, and they thought it would be cute and funny and clever. And to me, thats just disturbing. The ebola nurse is also pretty disturbing. Folks, you dont have to be so funny on halloween. Its not funny. And white people, please, no black face. Its not a good idea. What about a ghost or something . Weve got to go. Thank you for your time tonight. Thanks, rev. Thank you. Coming up, the heroes. Whatever you think of quarantine, the brave men and women are heroes, and they deserve all of our support. Thats next. Baron of the buildout. You need a permit. To be this awesome. And you. Rent from national. Because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. And go.

Sweered lobstersory endless shrimp ends soon the years largest variety. Like new spicy siriacha shrimp, or parmesan shrimp scampi. As much as you like, any way you like. But it wont last long, so hurry in today. And sea food differently. Heroes. Two brave volunteers who put their own lives in danger to help save lives far from home. Nurse hickox is a 33yearold emergency room nurse from texas, who worked for the cdc until recently. She spent years gaining experience all over the world so she could volunteer for doctors without borders. Craig spencer is a 33yearold er doctor from detroit. He speaks french, a valuable skill to help treat victims in guinea. Both risked their lives overseas, and both deserve better than what they got when they came back home. Whatever your politics, and whatever you think of quarantine, that debate can be had. But what is not debatable is their heroism and their bravery, and they deserve all of our support. Some things beckon for us to rise above politics and all of us should do that when genuine heroes put themselves in a place of danger, to do something for humanity. They should at least be treated with respect. Thanks for watching. Im al sharpton. Hardball starts right now. Christie goes macho on ebola. Lets play hardball. Good evening, im Chris Matthews in washington. New jersey governor Chris Christie went viral this weekend. His people shut the George Washington bridge down, he wants to stop the spread of ebola. He now wants to stop the virus from coming the other way. The trenton team that put out the cones is now trying to put every ebola
