If somebody does contract ebola and becomes symptomatic, they will be handled in just like youve seen on the recent ones who came back on an aircraft that was specially designed to bring them back. Theyll go back to one of the centers that is specially designed to handle the ebola. Heres how one of the 4,000 u. S. Troops being sent there describes the mission. Setting up warehouses to make sure that all the stuff that the doctors need gets in country, to build some facilities they need to treat patients and help americans feel a little safer. Were going over there to help the people of liberia deal with this deadly virus so they wont come back over to the states. Now, the pentagon has been very adamant that no u. S. Troops will have direct contact with ebola patients. They will build the facilities that nonmilitary Health Care Workers will staff. But a few dozen military techs will be testing specimen samples from suspected ebola victims. Zoo t the numbers in the lab, between a three and fourperson team. We have three labs deployed right now. Well probably deploy several others. Again, those people are trained to the very highest level of operating a nuclear, biological, chemical arena and theyre tested continually. Those are the ones testing all the people. The House Arms Services committee has passed an additional 700 million for this mission. Thats on top of 50 million approved last month. But still shy of the 1 billion president obama requested. In other ebola news Homeland Security committee is hosting a rare field hearing in dallas. We now have video of a wednesday morning flight from philly that ended with hazmat teams on board. A passenger sneezed, then joked he had ebola and, quote, are you all screwed. That man later told hazmat crews he was kidding. You can guess nothing about it is being treated as a joke. Here to help us understand the u. S. Militarys role, gordon. This is not a traditional military deployment. What is the reaction of troops being sent over . Is there any precedent for military to conduct a medical mission of this scale . Right. It is a little nontraditional but also a bit traditional. Weve been surrounded by war for all these years and in the last several months weve been hearing about what the military is doing in places like iraq and now syria. So, this is what the military tends to be doing when its not busy fighting wars. But this is different because typically when the military deploys for a large humanitarian mission, such as the one in haiti after the earthquake some years ago, it was to kind of bring security and stability and potentially then address the humanitarian issues. This one is more this is a logistical deployment for now. To build these medical centers and to address the kind of logistical concerns and really the command and control, what the military would say, is very good at doing to help bring some form to this Overall International effort. And, gordon, in addition to the logistical concerns you talked about, there are going to be several dozen members of the u. S. Military who are really dealing with ebola samples in these mobile testing labs. Now, as the pentagon said, these are very specialized troops, highly trained in dealing with biohazards and other dangerous materials. But can you give us a sense of the training these men and women do go through and what theyre going to be facing there on the ground . Right. This is a special brand of military unit from the Naval Medical center, who as you say, are specifically trained in this. This is not just kind of your average rifleman whos going over to do some of that work, which is very, obviously, technical. The pentagon at first had commander had said made the mistake, General Rodriguez said they were going to be in direct contact and they did later amend those those words. You know, much of the military will be building these units and then this other specialized unit, right, with specialized training, just looking at the specimens, will be doing that indirectly. The thing is, unlike other operations like, say, whats happening in iraq where theyve kind of announced deployments piecemeal about the number of people they might deploy there, in liberia theyve said as many as 3,900 military personnel could be deployed. I think just as the footprint expands, the danger for some exposure, you know, increases as well. But one thing the military is very good at is forced protection. And i think theyre trained to make sure that they dont get, obviously, inadvertently exposed. Gordon, there have been concerns this death toll sfiment were seeing from the World Health Organization of just over 4,000 deaths is an underestimate. Theres a lot of chaos, obviously, in liberia. Were not getting a reliable string of depth certificates. Is one thing the military will be doing oe the ground there is figuring out what the exact scope of this outbreak is . Could that, therefore, mean more deployments as they figure out there might be more needs for these sorts of operations than we realize now from afar . Right. I think what were seeing is the initial kind of deployment of this. I think so as your setup piece mentioned, theres like 450 military personnel there on the ground, and they say up to 3900, 4,000 over the next several months. They already budgeted a sixmonth window for this. General rodriguez at the pentagon the other day did hint it could expand beyond that. But just they just dont know. Certainly, theyre doing some kind of recon, as it were, to establish better what the problem is, but as we know from groups like Doctors Without Borders simph the cdc that the math is very difficult to reconcile. The problem is very large. And even what the military is the u. S. Military is doing there. And in aspect to the international community, its going to take a long time. So, i think they are trying to assess the problem as much as they can. But the u. S. Militarys focus is to build these units, these mobile training units and do some training and also establish security and transportation capabilities there. I mean, thats a really important mission, but of course with any mission, you have the possibility, the fear of mission creep. Theres no real end game for this. Looks like ebola may become endemic in western africa . When would these folks leave . But ebola fears have led to a breakdown in a lot of ways that they interact socially . Theres fear of association with others. Theres disruption of transportation. And a lot of times theres outright panic. Yesterday Liberian Police used batons and whips on 100 protesters. If Something Like that is happening nearby and causing unrest and chaos, obviously the u. S. Military would want to get involved and be a peacekeeping force. But thats not what we really want them to do over there. How do we keep them from becoming a local police force . Sure. So, theres a lot there. I mean, there was a great piece the other day about people arent hugging each other in a country thats very used to hugging and personal affection. Its obviously a very poor country and this is a chaotic environment. I think the way this white house has directed its military is to have fairly specific missions. We know they can change and expand. But i dont think that i think president obama got some criticism for deploying the military for a medical crisis and not a war. I think, on the other hand, people could criticize that this is American Leadership and sending the deployment of military to help in this crisis is a symbol of that kind of leadership. I think president obama very careful to limit his options, we know that from iraq, and i think in this case, that would be a big jump to move from where they are now to policing the streets. It could happen. I think, again, General Rodriguez at the pentagon the other day left the door a little open for a possible expansion of this mission because it really as you say, we dont know the extent of the problem. We just know its really, really big. Yeah, absolutely. And tomorrow they start the screenings at the airport, medically trained coast guards will help out there. Give us a sense of what their role will be. Well, i think this is going to be a new thing for first Kennedy Airport and then, i think, four major other airports following the next several days. And the coast guard personnel, which are trained in this area, will kind of take the first the first shift, as it were, and then it will expand as you pointed out to the Personnel Department for Homeland Security. I think its a very minimal thing. This is where they are taking the temperature with noncontact thermometers that look like guns. I think this will be disruptive in that sense. But over time, i mean, its the death of mr. Duncan, i think, certainly was kind of a wakeup call this could come. Absolutely. It is for the best. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Still ahead, the part of this conversation about ebola that toure finds most troubling. A wild week for the markets. Had where will they land . Ripped from the headlines. The gops november strategy. No, really, it was the headline in the times today. The cycle rolls on for friday, october 10th. There are two reasons why i need to keep an eye on my health. Ugh we won thats why i take metabiotic, a daily probiotic.

Whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts thats when expertise happens. Mfs. Because there is no expertise without collaboration. Ring ring . Progresso you soup people have my kids loving vegetables. Well vegetables. Shh taste better in our savory broth. Vegetables . No. Soup oh soup loaded with vegetables. Packed with taste. You guys said isis is the most eefl thing since hitlers sliced bread. For gods sake, you broke into dancing with the stars to tell us were hunting assassins. Theyre burning tanks on the top of a kobani hill top. Theyre isis. Whats up . We have to stay broadly focused on the whole region. Its important for the United States to step back and remember our strategic objective. So, kobani seems to fall between a town to the greatest threat weve ever seen and a slow drip from the kitchen sink. You can add jon stewart to the critic of president obamas fight on isis. Leon panetta who this week blasted president obamas Foreign Policy on his book tour. A number of Democratic Candidates are running as fast as they can away from the president. Allison lunder gren grimes wouldnt answer this week if she voted for obama when asked by a local newspapers Editorial Board. Did you vote for president obama . In 2008 . 2012 . This election isnt about the president. Its about making sure we put kentuckians back to work. Did you vote for him . I was on the way to a delegate for hillary clinton. I respect the sanctity of the ballot box. I know the members of this Editorial Board do, too. Youre not going to answer . Again, i dont think the president is on the ballot as much as Mitch Mcconnell might want him to be, its my name. Perhaps not the most eloquent response but the sentiment is there. Democrats hoping to win in november arent hoping to do so by running next to barack obama. And the gop knows it, thats why theyre trying to do everything talking about whats wrong with this country, ebola, isis, secret service, you name, it theyre tying it all back to the president. In turn, to democrats. Fair or not, the question s will it work . For more on these politics, less than a month out from the midterm elections were joined by Washington Post political comments from the Washington Post, pardon me, dana, dana milbank, friend of the show. Dana, were thrilled to have you here. Thanks for joining us. Glad to see you. Were getting as lot as jon stewart aptly showed at the top of this clip here, were getting a lot of mixed messages from the president. Isis is jv, now a real threat but yet were doing nothing in kobani. Is this a policy failure or just a Communications Failure . Well, its a Communications Failure, to be sure. If it becomes it depends on what happens on the ground there for it to be a policy failure. But it is a huge political liability. Thats why democrats across the country have forgotten who barack obama is and the republicans are trying fervently to remind everybody. The president has not helped by saying, my policies, my economic policies are going to be on the agenda. Certainly, leon panetta has not helped. He has every right to come out and make these criticisms. Probably if he did not want to deliver the senate to republicans, he might have waited to release the book until midnovember. Im sure he knew what he was doing there. Dana, i want to go back to the New York Times article in reference that talks about how the gop is running on fear and loathing. Of course, fear is the easiest thing to run on. It makes some people say, i must go out and vote. It makes other people say, why bother, it doesnt matter . It helps the press turn out, which is good for the gop and contributes to this midterm, as pew is calling it. Ultimately, it reveals and exposes that the gop in general really has nothing but the world is horrible to say to us. Right. Well, you know, fear does work. Had i not agreed in advance to come on the show today, i might still be in bed given all the ebola thats out there in my neighborhood. So, but of course, fear is sort of the last few remember when this election was going to be about obama care . Remember when it was going to be about jobs . Remember when it was going to be about all those scandals in the Obama Administration . They are gone now. As my colleagues karen and robert costa pointed out, there are some surprises popping up that put the very clear republican claims on the senate in jeopardy now in south dakota, in kentucky, which we were just talking about, in georgia, in some other places. So, i think what you do, when all else fails is, you frighten people. Thats pretty easy to do right now because most people in america think the countrys on the wrong track. And theyre worried. And so what do do you when people are worried . You tell them to start screaming. Right. And republicans are jumping on that band wagon. Lets pull up these most recent pew numbers that show majority believe we are at risk of another terrorist attack. Theres little confidence in the government that the government, rather, can prevent a major Ebola Outbreak in the u. S. To your point, theres this crisis of confidence and the Republican Party sees where majority of americans are at. The New York Times wrote about this saying, look, the gop really has a simple job. The message is simple. You basically scare americans by saying, quote, the Democratic Party runs a government that is so fundamentally broken, it cannot offer its people the most basic protection from harm. Da dana, to your point of, it may not be about policy, about some of the things i wish republicans were running on, but this could be very, very effective. Sure. I mean, and theyre even making a Campaign Issue of the secret service saying, things are so bad that even the president of the United States, the president of the United States we would like to remove from office, by the way s not being adequately protected by the secret service. Look, i mean, you know, we we can some of us can remember back to, you know, max cleland in 2002, the morphing democrats into osama bin laden. Scare really works. The problem works in the short term if you have nothing in your own quiver to say, heres my alternative. Also, maybe it will get the republicans across the finish line. Then what do they do in 20167 . What should this campaign be about . Toure describes if as lizard braden campaign. Congress doesnt have too much control about who gets ebola. Leaving it to the president so they can blame him. We could talk about a minimum wage increase that will never be law. No serious domestic policy legislation that will get through the next congress, no matter who controls it. Are we doomed to a stupid campaign . Anything we can talk about that isnt stupid . You know, its almost become a campaign about everything and, therefore, about nothing. The entire kitchen sink has been thrown in. Each week we think its going to be something different. Oh, now its really going to be about Foreign Policy and isis. Just as we were sure it was going to be obama care. We were sure it was going to be this skajtcandal. Basically, it comes down to the classic, traditional thing. That is, Voters Register disapproval with a party thats in power, the president s party. The only reason theyre not registered disapproval in larger number is because theyre disgusted with the whole thing. And the republican fear message helps to make them disgusted with the whole thing. Absolutely. The campaign about everything but nothing. You make it sound like a seinfeld campaign. Dana milbank, thanks for joining us.

Friend of the show Thomas Roberts reports what Major League Baseball is doing, and the captain is a former player going to bat for the lbgt community. Going back in front of the wall, leaps up. He made a sensational catch reporter on the field in late 1980s and early 1990s, billy bean was a goto love in the outfield. Caught by billy bean in skrfl can you believe it . Reporter and a slugger at the plate. Billy bean grand slam. Reporter after a lucrative career on the tigers, dodgers and padres, he quit his dream job at just 31 years old, leaving millions unearned because he didnt thimpk the sport was ready for an active player who was gay. I went away for a long time. The fact that im sort of back in baseball after 15 years for the same reason i left it and come full circle is that moment is not lost on me. Reporter now the mlb front office and bud selig have drafted him because of it. This summer naming him mlbs first ambassador of inclusion. We want the people who play our game wish to be. Reporter be marvels at how the league and america has evolved since he first suited up. He suffered for years, tearing the seams of his professional and personal world apart. I was not comfortable with the reality of my Sexual Orientation and i needed help with that, but i couldnt put the two lives together. The reason i walked away, i had a partner who passed away while i was on the padres, died in the emergency room althout 7 a. M. I morning and i had a game at 1 00 for a game i played in. Reporter a lot of people it will break their hearts that you lost someone that important in your life, a partner in your life at 7 a. M. In the morning and you suit up for a 1 00 game. When youre young and conflicted, it just felt easier for me to pretend it didnt happen. Its not an excuse that baseball didnt do anything wrong. They werent aware of any of the problems. Reporter bean holds no grudges over the past. Today he is proud mlb clubs are preparing for the reality when a player wants to be active and out like michael sam, Jason Collins or Robbie Rogers. Mlb picked bean and also partnered with athlete ally, which works to stop homophobia. Its important that baseball speaks to that demographic of fans just as they are to any other demographic. But sometimes you just have to do a little olive branch. And i think that baseballs going to be pleasantly surprised at how this is going to grow the sport in a way that affects everyone in a great way. Even though thomas gets up way too early for early to watch each morning, he sticks around on a friday afternoon to join us at the table and show us what superman really looks like in real life. And he looks good. Thomas, welcome. This is so nice, first of all, thank you for allowing me. We love having you. Beautiful set, see you in person. Billy bean as ambassador of inclusion, what can he do . Billy right now is laying the foundation of what it means for when they want to have an active out player. Weve seen in other pro sports, like what weve gone through with michael sam or Jason Collins or Robbie Rogers in soccer, they didnt have that Foundation Behind the scenes in the front office laid out. And so in baseball, they look at these Major League Teams and also at the farm league. Theyve got all these young men coming up through the system. They want to make sure that the support is there. Theyve got the perfect mentor and leader in a guy like billy bean, who has lived the life, knows what its like to have this mutually exclusive existence because professional career over here, personal life over here, you cant integrate the two. At least at the time for him. And so now, hes in this perfect position at 50 years old to come into the mlb and say, here we are in a time and place where the white house agrees with Marriage Equality. Weve got a land where almost 60 of the country, Marriage Equality is a real deal. Its only a matter of time where we can expect a baseball player might actually have their spouse in the stands and it could end up being a guy. The tide is absolutely turning. You did such a beautiful job telling this story in that package. What stuck out to me is that he really didnt hold a grudge. He says, i am in part to blame. I dont blame at all the league for this. Which at the time, when he felt as if the world was against him, it amazes me he comes back and is now working again for the mlb. The great thing is for billy, and i think that this is a huge revelation for him, is that he thought that he would be excluded from the mlb for his entire life after coming out. That this would be something they would not want to be a part of their legacy. They are embracing it. Theyre inviting him back to say, this is really important. This means something to us. You mean something to us. Your information, your history. This is all really helpful. You are a part of our family. We know ive been talking to billy almost every day, figuring out exactly who he has met with. Again, this has met with over the summer. Hes had inperson meetings with the yankees, phillies, angels, outreach to dodgers, giants, and winter meetings are coming up in december. They have Rookie Development program coming up in january. Billy says he wants to make contact in person with as many people as possible coming up in spring training. The thing that strikes me here, a couple years ago we had the last bastians of homophobia, military and professional sports. In military they have rank down, make people accepting. In sports, it seems it has to bubble up from the bottom. This looks like topdown effort to make it work. How do you achieve the changes in the clubhouse that support the players even if management is there and ready to support . I think weve seen the changes certainly from the football side of things. Espn when it came to culture inside the locker room. We dont have to go into details about the showergate issue, but theyre like, come oespn, get over it. We know there are players that have been openly gay for years to their teammates. Its not as if there are gay athletes that have just landed on mars all of a sudden on earth. Theyve existed for a very long time. We all have. Its okay. Trying to get somebody to come out . I dont think anybody is trying to rush anybody out beyond their comfort level. But when they theyre saying, look, we are making the front office prepared and ready for you. This is kind of theyre going through this together, figuring it out in a way that is unique and individual to them. They dont know all the things they dont know yet. Theyre saying, hey, were ready for it because were in a position to say were open to, it trying to craft the proper language and were setting it up. We dont know what we dont want. Well figure it out. Friend of the show, Thomas Roberts. Dont be such a stranger. Come back. I wont be a stranger. And oh magic, magic i wish you had the orioles song. You guys would like better in yankees hats. You can always see thomas on way too early at 5 30 a. M. Weekdays if you get up that early and on morning joe set your dvr like i do every day at 3 00 for the cycle. Absolutely its been a wild week on wall street.

On my journey across america, ive learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want big savings on car insurance, its a bit like asking if they want a big hat. scuse me. Or a big steak. Or big hair. I think we have our answer. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Basically, its more worries about global growth. Europe is not doing well. Traders are worried that some of that, especially if they slide into recession, might affect u. S. Companies here at home who do business or ship things to places overseas. As a result of that, the dow is actually faring better than some of the major indices. Its been a terrific week to the downside. However, the nasdaq is the index thats really getting hit hard today, as you can see the dow is down 55. The s p is down 14. The nasdaq composite is the biggest loser on the trading day and potentially on the week, down 84 points. You very rarely see that kind of move in the nasdaq. Thats because a number of the big chip stocks are getting hit hard on worries that whole business will go into somewhat of a downturn. Names like intel, like texas instruments, like micron technology, are all off by several Percentage Points in todays trading session. So, well see how we do in the final minutes of trading. Its not looking good for the bulls out there today. Back to you guys. Thank you. Volatile markets can teach us anything about business, its that things can get crazy. Sometimes being crazy in business or life isnt such a bad thing. In fact, it can be an asset. Thats the idea behind the new book crazy is a compliment Linda Rotenberg cofounded a company that identifies mentors and invests in visionaries around the globe. She consults regularly with fortune 500 companies about how they can achieve their goals. Linda joins us to share that advice with us. Youve written a book encouraging people to be crazy. What does that mean . I have. Ive worked with a thousand entrepreneurs. Every single one at some point has been called nuts. But the reason i wrote crazy is a compliment because i got calls from people inside a company saying, i want to be crazy but i dont want to risk my job. They knew the riskier strategy was to do nothing and hope their jobs were safe. Michael dell told me there are the quick and there are the dead today. You talk about people who are inside companies, a lot of times they are not necessarily the same kind of personality type as, say, a big visionary like a steve jobs or even a mark zuckerberg. You actually identify in the book four different types of permits. Tell us about some of the less traditional personalities you consider to be entrepreneurs. I use examples from people in Companies Like clorox and pfizer, not the googles. They see the problem, dont rush to the boss or create a powerd point. They tus things on the side n their kitchen, Building Momentum and then telling the boss. In terms of personality, everyone has an image of boys in hoodies creating tech companies. I said, you dont have to be mark zuckerberg. We developed a personality type. You can go on lindaroadenberg. Com and take it. We noticeded some are more inclined for social businesses. Some care about a brand. Some care about metrics. What is important is know your strengths, your weaknesses and surround yourself with people who complement you. What about those who dont want to be too crazy because theyre afraid of losing their job but at the same sometime, they want to get to the next level. They have those great ideas and they dont know what to do with them. The reality s our jobs arent safe. We know the topple rate of Big Companies has doubled. We know ceos want their workers to be more entrepreneurial. People fear failure. I talk about companies that have created free to fail companies. Theres a prize for the best failed idea. Heres the thing, you dont have to leave your job to be an entrepreneur, but even if you want to leave your job, you dont have to bet the farm. Sara blakley started spanx, spent two years selling fax machines. We know half the Fastest Growing companies started with less than 500,000, some Companies Like ibm are actually using internal crowd funding platforms so people can invest in their peers. The point is today, Everyone Needs to think and act like an entrepreneur. We all need to say some risks or risk being left behind. Thank you for these crazy ideas. Up next, entertainment time in the cycle. Well look ahead to tonights big alma awards. And abby heads to comic con for a primer on one of the hottest comic books turned tv show the walking dead.

When zombies return for another season of the walking dead. Its a fa nom that that has taken on a life of its own. Got the experience the obsession with the first show with the show firsthand, when i visited new yorks comic con under way right now across town. You may not know this all started out as a comic book, but it spawned Action Figures and a hit amc show which rises up once again for season five. Its this sunday at 9 p. M. Eastern. Chad coleman has been able to stay one step ahead of the walkers for two seasons as tyrese, but will he survive a third . Chad joins us now in the guest spot. It is so nice to have you here. I just came from comic con. I know youll be there the next couple days. Yes. It is a crazy place to be. Absolutely. I want to get into your character. Before we get there, lets talk about the show, because just to give people a sense, last season the First Episode was probably one of the top rated shows in cable television.

Whats wrong with trying new things . Feel that in your muscles . Yeah. I do. Try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. Woman what do you mean, Homeowners Insurance doesnt cover floods . [ heart rate increases ] man a few inches of water caused all this . [ heart rate increases ] woman 2 but i dont even live near the water. What you dont know about Flood Insurance may shock you including the fact that a preferred risk policy starts as low as 129 a year. For an agent, call the number that appears on your screen.

Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Imagine a fire broke out in the hood, an inferno engulfing the projects in brooklyn and we said we will try to help them over there but we have to make sure we are okay. Thats how many of us are responding ebola, viewing it as problem we can build a fence around rather than as a global problem the only thing spreading faster than ebola is irrational fear of ebola. Professionals are telling us likelihood of an outbreak in the u. S. Is nil. The irrational fear is fuelling the desire for a ban to and from the countries where the infection is numerous. Its strange that sometimes the american imperative to roll out and solve the worlds problem disappears when people threaten us we attack them. The response to a virus should be equally aggressive. Ignore the politicians feeding alarmism. People feeding the urge for a travel ban. Ignore them because a travel ban would only make things worse. The World Health Organization and the head of the cdc have spoken out against a travel ban because it will make it harder for medical professionals to get to the heart of the problem. What if we said there is a fire, just block the roads. What if the firemen cant get in. The president of sierra leone needs health professionals. Supplies are being impeded by fear. The white house says there is no travel ban you will but there is a visitor yule travel ban in effect. Several airlines have suspended flights. And uncertainly about how to get out. With a ban in place its harder for medical people to get out if they get infected. No travel ban will seal a country completely even if travel could be reduced by 80 , models predict that new transmissions would be delayed only a few weeks and only drive an increase in the number of cases at the source. Do we want a travel ban that helps grow ebola . We are in a Global Village where our neighbors problems will become our own. Even if we wont have an Ebola Outbreak here we cant close the borders and think that were safe. Of travel bans they, quote, give us the false assurance that we can ignore the problems that are happening in africa. At the end of the day, we cant. Our own safety depends on getting it right there. Now starts right now. After a night of violent clashes in st. Louis, it is a weekend of resistance. It is friday, october 10th and this is now. A peaceful prayer vigil turned violent. Protests in st. Louis turned hot ill. The officer were seen pepper spraying into the crowd. It stems from the Deadly Police shooting of an 18yearold. Leaders demanding an investigation by the justice department. The anger is starting to build up. Tensions are high in the area. Two months after the death of michael brown. Several to protesters are expected to arrive today. To keep the movement going. Its very troubling to us black parents because we never know is it going to be our child today
