Transcripts For MSNBCW The Ed Show 20141002

A couple of reasons, these are cheap senate seats that i think the democrats have got a real good chance at winning, with the controversies that are unfolding in south dakota and it being a threeway race in the sb5 immigration issue thats going on there and the former governor mike brown who is wrapped in that whole thing, i know you dont know about it. Whats he talking about . Its a big issue there on the prairie. No question about it. It could swing the senate race. I want to go find out if it will, and i want to hear what people say in south dakota. In iowa we have the Biggest Tea Party candidate of all Tea Party Candidates in joany ernst and she is leading bruce bailey. How could that be . This guy is for minimum wage. He is for student loan correction. Hes for workers rights. Hes for health care. All of the basics that families care about, but for some reason there must be some kind of political exhaustion or deflation thats taken place across america and maybe the issues just arent big enough. So what do the democrats have to do to rile up the base . Everybody is talking about, its not going to be a good turnout . How do you know . How do you know. The signs are that traditionally it might not be but, the issues are so intense right now and the squeeze on American Families and the middle class are still as strong today as it was in 2012. The issues are still the same and even more intense so why wouldnt there be a greater turnout . Liberals, why would you want to give an opportunity for the radicals to take over the senate . Its the 64 question right now, so i thought tonight i would start with a subject that hits home on every Kitchen Table and every 20 something and every 40 something can relate to, and its that bill they get every month and the damn college loan that keeps haunting them and they cant have another kid because of the expenses and they cant do their life because theyre strapped with that monthly payment. You know, america, i believe we can do anything we want to and we have proven that in recent years. America has come a long way in the last six years. Let me put it to you this way. We were on the verge of total financial collapse. Total collapse. You never hear anybody talk about that. In the past six years you just roll it back to september and october of 2008. Our economy was crumbling by the hour, by the minute. It was the beginning of the great recession. It could have been a depression. It could have been a total loss of our Financial Resources had the american taxpayer not stepped up. Thats where we were. Senator kent conrad was in the Senate Budget committee. Hes no longer in the senate. He was one of the very few that was called into a room, and i will always recall the story he couldnt believe what he was hearing. He couldnt believe where we were as a country when it comes to crisis, but what did we do some we pulled out of it it between september 26th and october 10th, the dow lost 2700 points. That means the market had dropped 24 in 14 days. The the country was in a panic. No one was knowing where this was going to go. Confidence was at an alltime low. 159,000 jobs were lost in september 2008 and the evening news, it was not a pretty sight. Meltdown. The American Financial system is rocked to its foundation as top wall street institutions topple under a mountain of debt. Overseas markets tumbled this morning amid word that one of the Worlds Largest investment firms Lehman Brothers is filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. The sixth biggest point drop in history. The u. S. Stock under pressure as people worry about the Ripple Effect of the lehman bankruptcy. This is one of the ugliest days i have ever seen in my career. Theyre calling this the biggest shakeup in Financial Markets since the great depression. Certainly the largest financial disaster in decades in this country and perhaps the end of an era in american business. Pretty rough out there. Lehman brothers, what do you know about them . Lehman brothers, dont they go back to before the civil war . Yeah. Thats right. Lehman brothers. You know, they went through the industrial revolution. Lehman brothers went through world wars, vietnam, the gulf war. Lehman brothers went through a lot of stuff. Big fixture. They couldnt hang in there. Thats how bad it was. An American Institution on wall street absolutely crumbled and an institution that had been around since the civil war. Lehman brothers, everybody knew Lehman Brothers and they didnt make it. Its important to remember that criminal activity on wall street led to the 2008 collapse. Everyone who fell on tough times had these guys to blame. Meanwhile, the government didnt prosecute anybody on wall street. Hell, we helped them out. We bailed these anyways out with a big check. You taxpayers out there. Me, included. On october 3, 2008, our government bailed out the financial system. President obama signed the emergency Economic Stabilization act of 2008. He had to do it. The bailout provided 700 billion of your taxpayer money to wall street big banks plus much more was spent in the following months and thankfully it worked. Basically, this is what we did so they could open their doors and function the next day. We did that. The economy since then has seen 54 straight months of private sector job growth. Over 10 million private sector jobs have been added and thats a turnaround. Wall street is doing better than ever and yeah, weve had a couple of rocky days and the dow jones hitting record highs over 16, 17,000 and its a far stretch since march 6, 2009, when we were just over 6500, 6626, to be exact. Big banks and wall street today are doing just fine. Their numbers are just fine today. The numbers dont lie. The problem is this. You folks out well in the middle of the country who have a chance to have a say in all of this for some reason seem to be politically exhausted because you have been left behind, because you havent seen the kind of growth of wall street and the Financial Institutions and the insurance industry. Middleclass americans arent feeling the recovery. Gosh, that was an interesting question the president fielded the other day on 60 minutes. He said, the American People arent feeling it. You know what i say . Lets make them feel it. Median Household Income is down from the beginning of this recession. In 2007 it was 56,000. In 2013 it was 51,000. How the hell did that happen . What . You mean median yeah. Incomes and households went down, but everybody else kind of went up. The folks that we helped out. Its harder for americans to afford everything especially in education. We stick it to the kids and were going to keep sticking it to the kids the way its set up. Student loan debt in the United States is currently sitting at 1. 2 trillion. Seven in ten College Students who graduate have a Student Loan Debt. They graduate with an average of 29,000 of debt. Heres an idea for you. How about a bailout for Student Loan Debt across america . In 2008 the government had no problem throwing over 700 billion of taxpayer money at wall street. How about the government throwing 700 billion to the middle class and start with the 20 and 30somethings and the folks that have College Loan Debt out there. In if middleclass americans get a bailout, this chart, no question about it, will change. That chart will change. Something radical, something drastic and something big. You have to believe it it can happen and you have to know it can happen. The middle class will rise and the economy will flourish again if we do Something Like this. Consumer spending will rise. Home sales will go up and the American Economy be much better off. Now wait a minute, thats kind of a theory, isnt it . Yeah. Its a theory. You see the bailout on wall street was an absolute. We were going down. If we didnt put that money into wall street, were going down. Its an absolute. There would be a total loss of our financial structure in the country and thats how critical it was. It if we do the same thing with Student Loan Debt, we can theorize that people are going to buy homes, people are going to buy trucks and people will have debt and people will have a better life and thats all theory is its a chance we ought to be willing to take because if you have another 250 or 300 a month of of disposable income, what do we do as americans . We spend it we need to take a page out of the country germany. Heres some good socialism for you. This week germany abolished all tuition fees, not some. All. A College Education is now free in this country. Free. Education is not a right, is it . No, wait a minute. In had this country, germany, education is a right. Not a privilege. So different here, isnt it it . Six years ago the American Government bailed out wall street. Today our government should bail out middleclass americans and younger americans and give them a fresh start, so to speak. Why not . Well, the power brokers arent going go for it and it would take real political change for that to happen, and i know that i have won over a lot of americans across the country saying gosh, weve never heard anyone say that before. I would venture to say most people would say that sounds like a fair deal, weve done it before and lets do it again and lets revamp the educational system in the country and make it available to everybody, not just the wealthy or those who want to go into debt. I mean, if we really want to compete and if we really believe that we can be the best we can can be, then lets give the kids a fresh start like we gave wall street, a fresh start. Too big a chunk of ice, isnt it . Get your cell phones out and i want to know what you think tonight. Would you vote for a candidate that advocates for student loan forgiveness . Text a for yes, and text b for no at 67622 and well bring you results later on in the show. Lets go to Bernie Sanders, senator from vermont who is thinking about running for president. Who has made several trips to iowa. Good to be with you tonight. Good to be with you, ed. You have been as vocal as anybody when it comes to student debt. What has to be done, in your opinion . Well, ed, i agree with everything that you said and the essence of what you said is that six years ago this country had a crisis because of the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior on wall street, congress voted 700 billion to bail them out and the fed provided 16 trillion, ed, in all those zerointerest loans. We learned that because of an amendment i passed as part of the dodd frank financial bill. Huge bailout for wall street and what you are asking right now is at a time when the middle class collapsing, when hundreds of thousands of young people cant afford to go to college, when millions are coming out of college deeply in debt, when we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth arent those crises the ones we should respond to and the answer is absolutely. And if we respond to those crises, well have a better educated workforce. Well be more competitive internationally ask were going to create more jobs. So what we need to do is put together the Grass Roots Movement that says to the congress. You know what . Start paying attention to the working families of this country who are losing ground every single day and to the kids of this country who want a future and stop paying attention just to the 1 and wall street and Corporate America and youre absolutely right. Well, it is a bridge thats real far away. No question about it, but the Interest Rates that these kids are paying is through the roof compared to basic rates. Why do we allow that to happen . Theres republican kids out there right now that have gotten high Interest Rates. Theyve got to feel like theyre getting shafted. Why do we have to do this for the financial industry when it really slows down our growth economically and holds people back from prosperity later in in life . This is what we should know. 30 years ago, ed, the United States led the world in the percentage of our people who brad waited college and we were the Major Economic power. Today we for 12th place in term of the percentage of our people who are graduating college precisely for the reasons that you gave. People cant afford to go to college. Theyre dropping out of college, so it makes eminent sense to significantly lower Interest Rates and what i would argue if the fed could charge every Major Financial Institution and corp raili corporations and banks all over the world in a 16 trillion lowinterest Revolving Loan fund, charge them almost nothing for loans why cant we do the same for young people in this country and for Small Businesses in this country . Why cant we do that . Why cant we invest 1 trillion to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and put 13 million back to work, why cant we do that . The answer is pretty obvious. When wall street talks with all of their money and power, congress listens. When workingclass kids talk about being saddled with these horrendous debts, who is listening . How much power do they have . How much power do middleclass families have. So what we need to do is raise these issues like making college affordable, significantly lowering the college Interest Rates on debt. We need to do that. We need to rally the people and theres massive support for these ideas, ed. Vast majority of the people support these ideas, but weve got to get congress to listen to what the people want. This is the conversation that progressives are going have to have for whoever is going to be the candidate. This has to be talked about because this is whats affecting a majority of americans and i dont know how wed be remiss if we didnt have this conversation. Senator, its always good to have you with us. I appreciate your time tonight. Thank you. Senator Bernie Sanders of vermont on the ed show. Remember to share your questions on the bottom of the screen and we want to know what you think. Coming up, scott walker. The dudes got nine lives. The Rapid Response panel weighs in and hes up in the polls.

You have to give them credit for trying to think outside the box. It is a big deal for me now they graduated from college. A College Republican Organization Goes dress shopping. A nearly 1 Million Campaign ad modeled after the it tlc show to draw them to the gop. The rick scott is perfect. They have a problem communicating with women voters. We cannot let her walk out of the voting booth like that. Theyre of voting age and someone neat needs to target them. Todays top trender, tweet leak. A twitter claimed to know one of the jurors. The grand jury hasnt heard all of the evidence. Susan m. Nichols posted. The office of Bob Mccullough is looking into an accusation of misconduct. The ferguson grand jury gets a misconduct investigation. The investigation stems from a tweet today that said i know someone sitting on the grand jury of this case. There isnt enough at this point to warrant an arrest. The grand jury is sworn to keep everything that they hear in that room secret even from their friends and family. Its discovered that the juror did reveal information the entire hearing would have to start from scratch. Lets go to darryl parks. He is the attorney for the brown family in all of this. Mr. Parks, good to have you back with us tonight. I want your reaction to the news of possible misconduct by a grand jury member, and as you see it, what does this all mean some. Ed, first, i have to say Michael Browns parents have said all along that they are very optimistic and they cant get the proper investigation and prosecution by this prosecutor. So now that were learning this that one of the jurors on the grand jury has possibly misbehaved is a very serious concern and we believe that this we still are calling for a special prosecutor to be a pointed by governor jay nicks. You have to bear in mind, too, that we have someone that has said that officer Darren Wilson who is also being in many of the cases that this office is prosecuting is also up for possible indictment. That conflict alone, we believe that this grand jury proceeding is very, very questionable. About that, Darren Wilson failed to appear at a hearing for an unrelated case on monday. Obviously, his police work has taken him into some legal work that he was working on before all of this the shooting took place. So what have you heard about those activities . You know . Let me tell you whats happened. Given the fact that this particular Prosecutors Office is very involved in cases that involve wilson as an arresting officer or investigating officer and a main witness in this case, then flipside of that he is also a possible defendant in this case. Those two things taken together represents a serious bias of conflict that exists between this Prosecutors Office and his interaction with Darren Wilson. We believe that should call for governor jay nicks to appoint a special prosecutor given the clear bias thats come forth in this case. The bias is coming from a twitter user in question that previously wrote support messages for the officer who killed michael brown. This could be a lot of things, this could be a conspiracy, this could be a not a very smart juror, what do you think it is . Well, its obviously someone that is talked outside of the proceedings and has tainted the proceedings. So clearly, what this grand jury now has done is totally in question upon. Were talking about two different things. The grand jury misconduct is one issue we have here. The other issue that im bringing up is the fact that officer wilson is involved in other cases in this office bringing about a conflict that exists him and the Prosecutors Office. I dont think thats going to move this, but i do think that the grand jury misconduct is your best shot. Thats just my opinion. Would you agree with that . Legally, is that probably your best shot at this point . I think thats our best shot, though. Yes. Go ahead. Clears thats the best shot. That clearly is your best shot legally right now to move the governor to scrap whats going on and you want him to start all over again. Yes. The good thing about starting over again, is if he appoints a special prosecutor that prosecutor can make the decision whether he wants to directly file the case or whether he or she wants to take it to a grand jury. So you get a fresh start and they get to make a decision about the direct filing in this case. Whats interesting is there are over 3,000 ferguson residents who have registered to vote since the the killing of michael brown. Its rather important statement, isnt it . Well, for sure. I think if nothing else, Michael Browns murder in ferguson missouri and st. Louis county has now become a catalyst for really getting people to Pay Attention to whats going on civically and realizing that the prosecutor in this case is an elected official and people have to become far more engaged and vote empowerment right now and have their voices heard to have a better chance of avoiding these type of situations anything into the future. Darryl parks, good to have you with us tonight. Attorney for the brown family. Thank you so much for joining us. Coming up, the Republican Party has been busy for the first time in months. Governor scott walker leads the wisconsin polls. The governors race coming up. Plus our friends on fox news believe they know the perfect candidate to lead the secret service. If you guessed a rightwing extremist with a rough military record youd be right. Contenders is coming up next. Ask your questions. Were right back. Tes and string, yeah, they were a little bit skeptical. What they do actually is rocket science. High tech components for aircraft and fighter jets. Were just their bankers, right . But financing from ge capital also comes with expertise from across ge. In this case, our top lean process engineers. So they showed us who does what, when, and where. Then we hit them with the important question why . Why put the tools over there . Do you really need those five steps . What if you can do it in two . Whoo, thats an interesting question. Ideas for improvement started pouring out. With a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. A hundred percent bump in efficiency. If you just need a loan, just call a bank. But at ge capital, were builders. And what we know. Can help you grow. I started this program tonight talking about iowa and south character. Heres what stuck in my craw. Its expensive to win a senate seat in california or new york or florida, but senate seats in the middle of the country with small markets are easy to win and the National Democrats are not funding, to my liking whats happening in iowa and south dakota and id like to know why. More coming up on the ed show. Stay with us. Im josh lipton with your cnbc market wrap. The dow falls three. The s p ends flat. The nasdaq is up eight. J. P.

See Car Insurance in a whole new light. Call Liberty Mutual insurance. Welcome back to the ed show. Thanks for watching tonight. Scott walker seems to have the cat with nine lives. There is a new poll showing the republican governor with his widest lead since march. Scott walker is leading mary burke 50 to 45 . These polls are the first to come out since accusations that burke had cop ed policy proposals from other campaigns. Mary burke released a new ad to address this accusation. In august, wisconsin lost another 4300 jobs and thats probably why in september, scott walker is attending my jobs plant saying it takes ideas from other states. Well, you know what . Of course, it does. As governor im going to take the best ideas wherever i can find them. Governor walker spent his first term breaking promises so far. The numbers say that and he promised to create 250,000 new jobs. 28,000 privatesector jobs were added in wisconsin from march 2013 to march 2014. That ranks wisconsin at number 33 in the country for job growth. Walker also limited collective bargaining rightses and enacted new voter i. D. Requirements. Earlier today attorneys for the aclu filed an emergency appeal enforcing the voter i. D. Law. The i. D. Requires all voters in the state to have a drivers license or i. D. Photo. Tens of thousand ever elderly who cannot drive cannot be expected to obtain the i. D. S with less than five weeks before the election. Progressive voters, well, its going to be a bigger challenge in november than what you previously thought and that is exactly the way walker wants it. Joining me tonight in the Rapid Response panel, editor of the progressive magazine and also with us tonight, Brad Woodhouse and former Democratic Party communications director. I want both of you to give analysis of this race where it is right now with all of the controversy that has surrounded scott walker. Ruth, you first. How do you break it down in. Well, obviously, its not great to see it ahead and you have to put it in perpective, he has a fourpoint margin of error. The news here is that month after month after month of mary burke and scott walker has crept out of the margin offer rr and hes leading by a little bit and we have a month to go and those have not happened yet and theres a lot of news that can happen. I think what has happened in this race is not so much that mary burke has come out swinging despite his enormous name recognition and a lot of bad news has hit walker and his strategy has been to attack mary burke on the, where he himself is vulnerable and thats where you see when he goes after her for working for her Family Business although fewer than any other bicycle business in america when he has been giving tax dollars to companies that outsource jobs and close their quarters in wisconsin. The phony plagiarism scandal and his attacks on that and her not responding strenuously and i think were seeing that in his poll, but if you look at what hes saying and she takes policy proposals for other people and the jobs plan. Scott walker has taken legislation written by out of state companies by his own admission, an out of state company drafted a piece of legislation and he solicited a Major Campaign from the company and received 700,000 through the club for growth and he is plagiarizing legislation for special Interest Groups in order to do away with regulation in the state of wisconsin and do away with open meetings large and the plagiarism charge is one more example of him attacking on something where he himself is doing the thing that hes attacking. On a roll, tremendous insight. How do you break it it down . The way i break it down is this. Look, i think scott walker is in trouble. Hes got a poll that shows him at a 5 lead and a little bit outside the margin of error and hes an incumbent. A month out hes at 50 and mary burke is relentless. I think that ad was exactly the right approach. Are you kidding me . Of course we want the best policies from other states and we dont want policies that scott walker has delivered that in the midwest has put wisconsin dead last in job growth and if you want to move to the midwest to get a job, dont move to wisconsin and i think mary burke will have a strong month. Let me say this, ed, if we believed the the polls in the president ial race after the debate in denver, this notion that one poll is crazy. I think its significant because it is the widest lead by either candidate since march and maybe people are starting to Pay Attention right now. I dont know what it is, and theres a lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then, but the table is set for the republicans in wisconsin, it seem like. It will take extra effort by the progressive movement. This voter i. D. Law will help walker and whats it going to do to low income people. What about it . You know, honestly, voter i. D. Is much more significant than this latest poll. This is a tight, tight race and it will take getting every voter to the polls and the republicans have scored an enormous victory by preventing people from voting here. I think if we didnt have voter i. D. And we had a totally clean election and everybody cast a vote there would be no question of the outcome and the slippage by mary burke in the one poll would mean very much at all, but what voter i. D. Means if youre a voter at the university of wisconsin it doesnt count you have to any get an extra i. D. You have to bring separate verification this youre enrolled as a student so there are many intense hurdles that are being set up and there is nothing more important in wisconsin than a ground game to get voter i. D. To people who need it. You have to have more koumentation in wisconsin to vote than youd need to go to another country. I mean, thats what you said. Thats insane. Thats what i just heard. Yeah. I find that unbelievable. And ed, theyre throwing out absentee ballots. People who have cast absentee ballots will be tloeb out if they dont now present i. D. After they voted. These are things that people need to be working on on the grond in wisconsin if they want this to be anywhere close it a fair election. Your take on the voter i. D. This was passed by Republican Legislature and it was signed by a republican governor. And so theyve socially engineered this is what theyve done. They are trying to engineer this election to steal it. Scott walker cant afford to lose this election and his real prize is to be president of the United States, god forbid, but weve overcome these obstacles before. Lets not scare people. Weve overcome these obstacles before. We need to expand the electorate and we need to help people get the proper i. D. , we need to fight in court like the aclu. People stood in long lines in 2012 exactly because they were denying the republican efforts in a lot of these states, in ohio and florida and other places and they stood there all night long to vote because they were denying the efforts of these republican governors to prevent them from voting and we need the ground swell of anger of these, no, figure it out, make it happen and stick it to them this time. Great conversation and we appreciate your time tonight, well spend more time in wisconsin. Republicans complain there arent enough resources at the cdc.

The boys on the curvy couch, while they pick their replacement for director of the secret service. We are a nation at war. You need someone with a military background and what hes suggesting is the military take over. He suggests Lieutenant Colonel allen west because hes a leader and he has great diplomatic skills and you know what . Hes got a military back ground. Thats the facebook question right now. Do you think its time for the military to take over the secret service and in your mind is allen werst the perfect mix of military and congressional leader . Dog gone it, i should have answered that question. Someone should remind our west about allen wests long history of attacking people, not protecting them. I believe theres about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are a part of the communist party. Take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American People somewhere else. You can can take it to europe. You can take it to the bottom of the sea. You can take it to the north pole, but get the hell out of the United States of america. That represents islam. Islam is not a religion. Let mooez planned parenthood women and all of these women that have been neutering american men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness to let them know that we are not going have our men become subservient. I am hereselfserving. Im here as the modern day Harriet Tubman to lead people on the underground railroad away from the plantation into a sense of sensibility. We need to have approval from our masters to be able to speak. Thats where the racism truly lies, with the right liberals. Sounds like the perfect guy that wants to protect barack obama. If fox friends think the controversial onetime congressman is a great pick for director of the secret service, they can keep on pretending. Ttl. What they do actually is rocket science. High tech components for aircraft and fighter jets. Were just their bankers, right . But financing from ge capital also comes with expertise from across ge.

In 1918, the spanish flu killed 21 million people, more than world war i which was a catastrophic war. The bubonic plague in europe, this is a mistake. No one can predict. Maybe this thing peters out its already a hundred times larger than any previous outbreak. Its on various con nents. Its not just going to be the United States. If we have one case in the United States, theres going to be a case in india, in china. Now, do i know its going to happen . No, nobody knows. But it is absolutely a mistake to take Political Correctness and say they know with certainty its not going to spread and as a consequence, play down fears that we dont take precautions. I cant disagree with that. But it takes money to buy whiskey. Welcome to the ed show. Finally tonight, rand paul may be a doctor, but all hes prescribing here is a little bit too much fear. Hes evening warning americans not to trust the cdc. Maybe the cdc would be better positioned to contain ebola, if its budget wasnt cut by 600 million, lower than it was four years ago. Republicans, i dont think they can have it both way. When Public Health agencies like the cdc are starved for cash, they cant do the job we expect them to do. Take it from the nurses, the boots on the ground, the real front line, a National Nurses united union. They polled their members, asking them questions. 30 of the registered nurses say their hospital as unsufficient sfliz of eye protectont and protectant gowns. 60 say their hospital is not prepared for the ebola virus. In turn, the largest u. S. Organization of nurses is calling for what . Proper funding of international sda disaster relief. Corey hebert, professor at lsu Health Sciences center. Im alarmed when high hear these numbe numbers. I know nurses im married to one. They are the front line, they do more than doctors in many cases. 80 of nurses say their hospitals have not communicated to them any policy regarding potential admission of patients affected by ebola. Where do we go from here if that number is true . The ebola virus spread in the United States is squarely on the shoulders of the front line nurses and doctors at our primary care facilities and emergency rooms. Without a doubt. You dont know to treat something if you dont know its there. Thats just the bottom line. We know from this case the other day, that the nurse knew, didnt explain it to the doctor, so the doctor didnt know. If were trying to contain this, we need more information sharing at the front lines, and we also need more supplies, which means we need more money. It made me laugh that you said you agree with rand paul because i was about to throw up in my mouth when i heard it. But i kind of agree with him, that we dont know whats going to happen. The issue with with rand, it doesnt matter what happens because we have the infrastructure in america to be able to take care of those patients, even if 100 people get it, 200 people get it. We have the infrastructure. Thats why we need that money so that we can have the gowns and the supplies to take care of the patient. So we should be listening to the nurses . Absolutely. We have to. As a doctor, i cant survive without a nurse or a medical assistant to explain to me whats going on. In medical school, were not trained to do some of the things they do. We are trained to ask the serious questions about whether youve traveled and the medical history. But we forget about those things after weve been practicing for so long. One of my great mentors told me, when you hear hoof beats behind you, think horses, not zebras. But were living in the land of the zebra now, we have to check those things and nurses are great at this. Rand paul also said this. I want to get your reaction. Since hes a doctor too. You all seem to be concerned about soldiers getting back on a ship. Where is disease most transmittable, when youre closely confined on a ship. We all know about cruises and how they get these diarrhea viruses that are transmitted easily and a whole ship gets sick. Can you imagine if a whole ship of our soldiers gets ebola. Im concerned about it and its a mistake to down play, its not a big deal. This could get beyond our control. Could it get beyond our control . No. And once again, i kind of have to agree with him, there could be a ship that had a lot of people on it and they all got the ebola virus. Thats possible, but its not beyond our control. When people have been brought from west africa to the United States, they dont die from ebola, because we have the infrastructure. So i hate to keep saying that i agree with him, but i dont agree with him 100 . Corey hebert, good to have you with us. Im missing my bow tie. Youre sound good, look good. Politicsnation starts right now. Happy birthday, rev. Youre a day early. We start early. Thanks to you, and thanks to you for tuning in. Lots of news to get to tonight.
