We do not have to leave the door open to all travel to and from hot zones in western africa while ebola is an unwelcome and dangerous stowaway on these flights. Why are we allowing folks over here and why is there no quarantine . I dont understand, if we have a system in place that requires any Airline Passenger from coming in overseas, with a date of birth, to make sure theyre not on the antiterrorist list that we cant look at ones travel history and say, no, youre not coming here. Not until this situation, youre right, it needs to be solved in africa, but until it is, we should not be allowing these folks in, period. Perhaps this committee should consider forwarding to the full house a request that we have a vote on travel restriction because people are asking us to do that and i think it is they are exactly correct to make that request. So while other members push back against a travel ban, nearly 60 representatives and 11 senators support this idea. Chicagos ohare and Hartsfield Jackson in atlanta are now among the airports conducting these enhanced screenings on passengers for ebola. President obama says he doesnt believe travel restrictions are the way to go, but he is considering an ebola czar to oversee the federal response to the crisis. I dont have a philosophical objection necessarily to a travel ban if that is the thing that is going to keep the American People safe. The problem is is that in all of the discussions ive had thus far with experts in the field, experts in infectious disease, is that a travel ban is less effective than the measures that we are currently instituting. So the first person to be infected with the ebola virus in the u. S. Is now in a new hospital, nina pham arrived in maryland last night to be treated at a state of the art facility run by the National Institutes of health. She appears to be in good spirits, and the video shot inside the dallas hospital hours before her departure. Meanwhile, the fiancee of Thomas Eric Duncan says a Health Official from texas Presbyterian Hospital apologized for how his case was handled and a new report says the hospital had an ebola machine used by the military in west africa when duncan arrived. But fda guidelines prevented the facility from using it. The fda has not yet responded to the report. As officials monitor other nurses who cared for duncan, the news site mashable reports the four u. S. Hospitals designed to treat patients with ebola can only care for a total of nine patients at a time. Okay, so meanwhile, the website box released a quiz to help cut down the ebola hype. I thought this was really important. Here is the question they present. It is very simple. Have you touched the vomit, blood, sweat, saliva, urine, or feces of someone who might have ebola . The answer is no, then you do not have the virus. Sorry to be so graphic, but i think it is important you understand what the message is as we try to impart the details about what it means to cover the ebola crisis. So this brings us to our twitter question for you this morning. What do you think about the Media Coverage so far . Is it warranted . Do you feel properly informed . Tweet us your answers usi using waytooearly, the best ones coming up later in the show. In other news for you today, one of Vice President joe bidens sons says hes trying to move forward after being discharged from the navy reserve for cocaine use. Nbc has confirmed that hunter biden failed a drug test last year during a drill, and received an administrative discharge. Biden says it was an honor to serve in the navy and that he is embarrassed and deeply regrets his actions. A navy reserve official says this dismissal was not made public because he was treated like any other sailer who fails a drug test and is thrown out of the navy. Floridas candidates for governor are in full spin mode after a small fan on stage overshadowed first seven minutes of their debate. Democratic candidate Charlie CristCampaign Says there was an addendum to the rules allowing him to do so. For whatever reason, republican incumbent rick scott did not emerge until seven minutes into the debate and that was seven minutes late. Governor crist is why did you insist on bringing a fan here when your campaign knew this would be a contentious issue . Why not . You know, it is is there anything wrong with being comfortable . I dont think there is. It is pretty strange. And, you know, i think what people care about, this is really kind of a trivial issue, lets be honest about it, what is really important are issues like education, ethics, the environment, the economy. I think he was just worried he was going to sweat. I was surprised he didnt break some dry ice with him or something to keep himself cool because he worried so much when i kept bringing up that he lost 832,000 jobs. What was the big deal why wouldnt you let him, if he needs a fan, whats the big deal . Why not let him have a fan . Why was this an issue going into the debate between your staff and his staff . I have no idea. I was told he wasnt going to show up and so i was sitting back there waiting for them to tell us to come out. And they didnt tell us to come out and then he went out there. Are you alleging that crist broke the rules . Look, i just want to do a tee bait, talk about jobs and education. I dont know why he did what he did. You dont want to make the flat accusation he broke the rules of the debate . He clearly broke the rules, but thats not the point. Look, fans are getting a bad rap in all of this. Okay. Lets not take it out on fans. They work hard to keep people cool and a fan will really cal you down. Both candidates remain deadlocks as they enter the final stretch. The vatican is back tracking on a document this week that offered a far more welcoming tone to gay people and in a revised version of the report, get this, the church altered the title of a section that triggered the most criticism from conservative bishops. Now instead of the words welcoming homosexual persons, the english translation now reads, quote, providing for homosexual persons. Mondays document also used the words partners to describe people in same sex unions. Well that has since been charged to, quote, these people. More conservative members of the church felt that the initial document overlooked the role of, quote, faithful married couples. Speaking of back tracking, bestselling novelist john grisham is back tracking after making comments in an interview with the telegraph about sentencing guidelines for child porn offenders. We have prisons filled with guys my age, 60yearold white men, in prison, who never harmed anybody, would never touch a child, but they got online one night, started surfing around, probably had too much to drink or whatever, and pushed the wrong buttons and went too far and got into child porn or whatever. They havent hurt anybody, okay. They deserve some type of, you know, punishment, whatever, but ten years in prison . We have gone nuts with thin course rati incarceration. I have no sympathy for pedophiles. But so many of these guys are not do not deserve harsh prison sentences. So, yesterday grisham said in part, my comments were nono way intended to show sympathy for those convicted of sex crimes, especially the sexual molestation of children. I can think of nothing more despicable. I regret having made these comments and apologize to all. We shift our attention to talk about Business News for you this morning.

The official cause of death is listed as, quote, therapeutic complication.

We gave you an update on Florida Governor rick scott responding to the socalled fan gate or as one Florida Paper calls it, his fantrom. Stephen colbert weighed in on the awkward debate moment. Folk, i was worried about my guy, republican governor and python ecstasy rick scott, but rick had an excellent reason for not being out there. Governor crist has asked to have a fan, a small fan placed underneath his podium. The rules of the debate that i was shown by the Scott Campaign say that there should be no fan. Somehow there is a fan there. Governor crist, do rules of the debate say there should be no fan . Are we really going to debate about a fan or talk about education and the environment and the future of our state . Fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan, fan. Who gives two [ bleep ] about the environment or education . It is florida. Everyone needs a fan. Folks, the whole thing was unfair. I dont blame crist for wanting to bring his own coolant, based on that skin tone, i would say his core temperature is about 450 degrees. But why should crist get to cool himself with a fan, but scott isnt allowed to control his temperature by laying on a chilled rock . Fun with this one. This youll only see on the tonight show with jimmy fallon. Some choose music to be their ring tone. Watch as sting makes music out of ring tones. Okay. Now lets hear the sting tone. I love that. Here is another one. This is a very popular one. Call eed xylophone ring tone. This is scary. This one you might recognize, the old classic Old School Nokia ring tone. This is hard.

Lets show everyone again. It is simple. But up by box earlier. Have you touched the vomit, blood, sweat, saliva, urine or feces of someone who might have ebola . No, you do not have ebola.
