>> where? where are those 10,000 cases? they're not in brooklyn, melissa. they're not on upper westside or mid. melissa: you're not worried. >> i feel terrible for people in affected areas as you know are primarily tribal and mystic africa. that is where epidemics occur. thankfully most of us live in the first world. melissa: people may stream here to get medical attention. >> it is true and we're taking preemptive steps to insure the virus doesn't spread, but 128 people every day die in this country from car accidents. entire death count from ebola will be -- >> fox news alert jonathan hoenig is agreeing with president obama on something. >> that is true. it's a first. >> last week we reported it exclusively yesterday. you were absent yesterday. melissa: i was. am i in trouble? i'm back now just like kim jong-un. >> playing hooky. he basically said at fund-raising meeting he thinks this is eminently containable. that it will not pose a major risk to the united states. i will say this, people keep saying, i get things on twitter that the flu is more deadly, people die in car accidents. the flu is somewhat preventable. car accidents are somewhat preventable? ebola, once it gets here is very difficult. this ask a transferable disease. people are taking it a little too lightly. >> i think different than some of the outbreaks we've previously seen in history this number is completely different than decades ago. i think if we don't get in front of it as nation and don't lead the way it will be a problem. melissa: defying predictions and spooking markets. markets are fighting back after a rocky runs of declines. all three major indices taking a sharp dive yesterday after a ebola scare at boston's logan airport. five passengers on a flight from dubai were removed by hazmat teams, remember these pictures? city officials claim none have the ebola. as soon as story crossed the market moved. >> this is tradeable issue. i'm not saying it's a logical tradeable issue but clearly it is. i've spoken to traders for the last month about this, about ebola being headline to trade off of, how bad is it? one guy raising possibility much larger outbreak after black swan the market tanking. >> always a question mark, probability, impossibility. if you want to talk about trading on ebola, melissa, honestly more likely trade on how many times your neighbor's dog poops on the lawn before you trade on bowl. >> they're trading on. >> they're trading on nothing. trading on total skepticism. >> they're trading on total fear. whether we like it or not the market is interpreting every headline as tradeable event on this thing, who doesn't seem to be worried about it. say what you want about defense secretary chuck hagel, at least he has his priorities straight. with ebola, isis, secretary hagel pen ad report on global warming, writing quote, in our defense strategy we refer to climate change as threat multiplier because it has the potential to exacerbate many challenges we're dealing with today, from infectious disease to terrorism. he is saying that climate change makes terrorism a bigger threat. anyone follow the logic? >> part of reason we're one of the most powerful nation in the world because of our military and i think his timing of this is significantly suspect but the reality is, having our military poised to be in the right position at all times and trained in the right position -- melissa: to fight global warming? >> not to fight global warming. they have to be able to fight in all circumstances. i understand what he is saying. what i'm suspect is timing. melissa: they have figure out with two degrees lower. >> it is two degrees warmer. that is what he is trying to say. melissa: that is ludicrous. >> you're talking about fighting global warming you're fighting man kind. global warming will be less of an impact of ebola, that is tiny impact. talking about fighting global warming you're fighting against mankind. melissa: shouldn't they be worried about fighting isis at pentagon instead of global warming? >> maybe market trading off exaggerated fears about ebola -- melissa: because your pentagon officials are worried about climate change instead of isis. >> markets are saying we have government somewhat out of control. you look at everything. every headline through that prism. on top of it no one knows what the fed is doing so the headlines come bigger. melissa: shares of alibaba out after big hole thanks to assist from wall street. charlie, you have more on this one. >> what is interesting about this, as this thing is hitting new lows every day, ubs comes to the rescue. slaps a buy recommendation on the stock. we should point out, ubs is not one of the main underwriters of the first deal, the ipo. melissa: right. >> clearly they're in the running to dot secondary. i say this to small investors and this is something to take away, maybe the other network will point this out. whenever she is shares get crushed wall street comes to the rescue and put this is stuff out. it is called a booster shot. melissa: put a buy rating and $100 price target to be clear with the everyone in the audience. >> that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy alibaba. that doesn't mean it is not a long term investment. don't rely ubs's recommendation. what is sort of cynical about this is that ubs is not like goldman sachs where it deals with rich people, very high net worth. they have a bunch much brokers that deal with average people. be really careful with this stuff. >> charlie, opinions are like smiles. everyone has one and -- >> i was going to say rear ends. >> usually quoted something else. everyone has one and ubs has one as well. charles is very right to be dubious of all investment recommendations. facebook is doing a lot better than alibaba. facebook is not too far from all-time highs. me, much better buy than alibaba. melissa: google and facebook squaring off against virtual reality. google reportedly making investment in magic leap. that is on the screen. i'm glad you asked. >> what is okay kulislous rift competitor?

not surprising they want to be on. melissa: this is me is more sign of the top or more sign of a bubble or i'm incredibly lame. >> melissa, there is no top in innovation. we grew up with carbon paper. we grew up with paper checks. this is the brand new reality and every day like a world's fair with these tech companies. they come up with new innovation that literally changes the world. >> have cash to do it. melissa: do i need to hold an elephant in the palm of my hand? >> why wouldn't you want to. >> go back to the flip phone. go back to the flip phone while we're at it. melissa: because i work for a living. i have to pick my kids up from school. >> and make sure you have the horse and buggy pulled up. melissa: i have to go to the grocery store. why do i want to stand there with goggles on and elephant in my hand? because i have stuff to do! >> melissa, there is channel my inner jonathan hoenig, american tradition of innovation, of jumping shark. >> thankfully. melissa: or elephant. >> when you go so far you get beaten back but you still gone beyond. >> iphone started with apple newton 20 years earlier. melissa: okay. embattled money manager stevie cohen out of trouble and on the moral high ground. his new company, point 72, offering cash bonuses to employees for quote, adhering to the highest ethical standard. keeper of the moral high ground. >> i want you to know, mr. keeper of the moral high ground, i ran into him, didn't run into him, in milos, high-end fish place. melissa: you bused over to his table?

>> i couldn't find him. i thought he was coming out the front. he snuck out to the back. melissa: what were you planning to do when he got down to the bottom? what were you going to say. >> mr. cohen, many years since you've taken my phone call. i know your wife really hates me. she told someone that once. here's the thing. i think, you know it is almost, steve cohen is many abouting a joke in many ways. you know, if you want to do one thing to get back into, becoming a money manager that runs public money, what do you want? >> make a bunch of money. people want to give you other money. >> this is all about the government. you keep a low profile. you don't do stuff like this. >> charlie, wait, wait. can you tell our audience your a little sorry for having said that. >> i'm sorry. melissa: that was a little mistake. leave on that note. keep going. thanks twice. >> my phone ringing. melissa: every flyer's worst fear, charlie gasparino. the cabin begins to shake and you feel a slight breeze. no big deal. just interior walls starting to come loose. who has new images of kim jong-un resurfacing but with a cane. i wonder a basketball injury from a pickup game with dennis rodman. right?

>> there is certainly heavy volume which is worth noting. every single day in october has been above the one-month average of volume. three weeks in a row we've had losses but still look at back and forth action. still the 100 point swings top to bottom. today would be the 11th day in a row we have that. that is the trading action of late. we'll see if we hold on to gains by end of the day. certainly looking good thus far, right? look at homebuilders. we're looking at the group overall. basically in the short term they said order growth looks good. basically longer term. they sold off yesterday with the market and made the way back to those levels and even higher today. >> thank you so much. 26-year-old texas nurse nina pham is the first person to contract ebola within the united states. just a short while ago the family released a statement saying she is doing fine, thanking everyone for their support. but as the cdc tries to figure out exactly how she got the virus, we're learning pretty alarming information that questions exactly how prepared we are for ebola here in the u.s. dr. manny is a senior managing editor for the fox news health team. he joins me now. let's start with this nurse in particular. they're saying she got it from a breach in protocol. what do you think about that? >> well, that is a possibility. the issue is what breach? they don't know exactly how the breach happened. i don't think there is anyway to find out. basically this is something that i think falls back on the shoulders of dr. frieden at the cdc. very early in the game he said we're going to give instructions. we're going to allow the infectious disease departments or divisions of each respective hospitals to deal with infection control because we know what we're doing. well, clearly something happened and they did not know what they were doing and this poor nurse got infected. dierdre: speaking not knowing what they're doing, 85% of nurses have not received any special training so they don't know what to do. >> that is exactly right and this is the argument i've written about time and time again he that not all hospitals are created equal. you know what the cdc says now? we'll do in the future if we have new patient the coming in, there are four specific centers around the country well-versed dealing with ebola. we'll send perils there. my question why didn't you do that at the very beginning? you know specifically how infectious ebola is. you know, doctors without borders yesterday in the press conference, a lot of reporters were saying to the head of the cdc, why don't you do what they do with doctors without border? look at their equipment and protocols? why do you mimic that? we'll look into that. we'll look into that? this is the cdc! where is the leadership. melissa: people that are not following protocol as flimsy as it look looks, dr. nancy snyderman was supposed to be in quarantine and shy is out. apologized. 60% of the americans surveyed want borders closed in west africa. that has nothing to do with not bringing aid or volunteers or monitoring the situation. that has nothing to do with it. with the projections of 10,000 cases ebola per week -- melissa: do you think that is too high? we started the show with that. that number is staggering. >> look it, these are serious men and women with the w.h.o. if they come up with a number like that they will not alarm the world if there are not some facts behind it. melissa: thank you, dr. manny. >> got it. melissa: isis telling americans with promise of paradise. the dangerous propaganda with terrorist recruitment. wall street republicans looking like grand ol' partners. jon stewart has a hot take on democrats fund-raising efforts. smart money next. >> may not be the best way to send a message about your contempt with money in politics with back-to-back fund-raisers of the homes of lady goop and literally a man named richie rich.

62 versus 52 last time? >> i think if hillary clinton runs for president, and you know the clintons are very close to wall street, i think those numbers will be much different. much more even, even if mitt romney runs as republican just because of clintons and wall street and clintons love each other but in terms of congress and this midterms it has been a trend since dodd-frank. they're looking to either water down or eliminate dodd-frank. you could take cynical view, that is bad thing. want less regulation. i think dodd-frank is big -- >> $311 million, a little less than the election period in 2010. i think they're voting with their wallets and conscience. i don't think they will get any movement on dodd-frank under democratic president and democratic house. melissa: jonathan what do you think. >> no correlation to how much a candidate or party raises and propensity to win elections. >> no? >> i wish they were -- >> you're saying money has no impact. >> that is insane. >> check my twitter feed. >> totally, totally insane. melissa: we'll keep fighting about this. meantime next time ordering a waldorf salad, how about a side of espionage?

how the rest of the world should counter this, k.t. mcfarland, monica crowley, online opinion editor for the washington times, she is also a fox news contributor. you just wrote a huge article about this. >> i did. melissa: i mean, we see faces of these girls, bright, shining faces gone over there, you know, we hear now they are married, pregnant, miserable, want to come home. >> right. melissa: how did this happen? >> isis has been targeting women in particular in western countries, not just the united states, but the u.k., france, other western european nationings. they're going after girls that they think are particularly vulnerable, and because they're growing up in the secular nations, are looking for some meaning in their life in a spiritual way x. for them islam is filling that void. melissa: do they find them on facebook? >> social media, facebook, twitter. they are recruiting a lot through social media because that's where these kids live now nowadays. they are directing these messages especially to these young girls for two reasons. one, they want them as baby factories, populate the new caliphate so that it continues. the other thing they're doing with a lot of these women is putting them at checkpoints so that they're patting down other women and also enforcing sharia in the new caliphate with women who has been to be in the zone controlled by islamic state. melissa: so the question is raised, we see these two women, now they want to come home. austria's saying, no. what is the correct response from a security perspective? >> well, who's coming back to this country? how do you know they're just disaffected? how do you know they're not coming back to their origin country to set up a jihadist cell? you don't know, and i think that we in the west have to realize that political correctness should not determine our national -- melissa: so you think we should say no. once you've gone -- >> you're on your own. melissa: too bad, revoke your passport. >> yeah. or prove to us why you should come back, and they won't. >> in fact, senator ted cruz had legislation in the senate to do exactly that, that if we can prove you have gone into syria and iraq to fight with the islamic state, we will automatically revoke your passport and your citizenship, and you will not be permitted back, and harry reid and the democrats blocked that. so we have no mechanism to prevent these folks beyond just monitoring them, which is what the fbi and our intelligence agencies say they're doing, but how reliable is that? is. melissa: over the weekend isis released this publication in english justifying the kidnapping of women as sex slaves in islamic theology. do these girls not see that? >> no, they don't. melissa: do they not care? >> there are three problems, one, isis is really good. they're very internet savvy, tech-savvy. they find you on the internet -- melissa: what do they say? >> well, we don't say anything in response, and that ooh's the problem -- that's the problem. there is no counterargument to the arguments they're making. moderate muslims do not step up and say, look, that's not really religion, what we believe in. there's no counter to that. and then most importantly, there is no reporting coming out of that region. isis was smart. what were the first videos we saw? is beheading journalists. in other words, journalists -- melissa: it's not safe. >> you can't come here. journalists are safe anywhere else in the world, they're not safe here. so for anybody who's lured to that, they don't know what the downside is. >> no, that's exactly right, and i think you'll see more and more women being recruited because they happen to be particularly vulnerable. melissa: really scary. all right, we've got some breaking news right now. oil ending the day down 4.5%, about $81 -- look at that, $81.61 a barrel. this is the steepest selloff in about two years. and, again, great news for drivers. really raises some questions about the economy going forward, but of course, we have a huge glut of supply of oil in the market, that's a big part of it. but there are also folks saying is this the canary in the coal mine that we don't believe in an economic rebound. the nba's got sweet new moves on the court. we're going to see. and he's back, kim jong un making a triumphant return to the spotlight after a mysterious disappearance. look at the sporty new haircut and the cane. at the end of day, it's all about "money." ♪ ♪ go ahead and put your bag right here. have a nice flight! traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company who knows that the most on-time flights are nothing if we can't get your things there too. it's no wonder more people choose delta than any other airline. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. ♪ ♪ melissa: i'm melissa francis with your fox business brief. macy's says it will open two hours earlier this thanksgiving to make way for the black friday crowds. the retailer will now let customers in starting at six p.m. due to what it calls competitive pressure from other stores. darden shares higher today on news that its ceo is stepping down. clarence otis has been under fire from activist investors to implement a turn around in his olive garden chain. he is expected to stick around until a new boss has been chosen and there's more salt in the water. and crumbs bake shop is reopening 26 stores after its company-wide closure in july. new items are being introduced such as a bagel mixed with a croissant. that sounds delicious. that is the latest from the fox business network, giving you the power to prosper. ♪ ♪ melissa: don't call it a comeback. kim jong un back in action after a very mysterious 40-day absence sparked the international rumor mill. we were glued to it. photos released by the north korean state media show the young dictator with a smile, of course. they do show him walking around with a cane though. no word on when the photos were taken. here, now, gordon chang, jonathan and monica back with us as well. do we feel like these pictures are real? is there a chance it's an imposter, they're old? run through the gamut of things this could be. >> well, his father used a double so, you know, that's always a possibility, but i can't imagine them finding another 31-year-old fat boy in north korea. [laughter] melissa: i mean, they could pay someone. be you need a double, couldn't you give them plastic surgery? i don't know. >> there's a guy, actually, in south korea who does imitations of kim jong un, but this is probably the guy. melissa: so he comes out today, but then yesterday, monica, we'll give this one to you. he's missed some very important milestones. >> yeah. well, i knew this was a big story when my mother said to me over weekend, where do you think kim jong un is? ther mitt kingdom -- the hermit kingdom is back in the news. when you think about the cold war, we used to read the tea lees about who showed up at the -- leaves about who showed up at the kremlin and who didn't, and there are similar things going on in north korea. i think, you know, that he does have some medical issues. he is overweight. they suspected gout because he had some real problems with walking. saturday night live last weekend did their cold open making fun of him. now he's on a cane. but you can never get accurate information out of the kingdom. when you talk about lack of press with the islamic state, it's the same thing in north korea. melissa: this was one day after the big workers' party anniversary which was a huge thing to mis. he couldn't have come back one day earlier in. >> no one's having any anniversaries in north korea. to gordon's point about it's difficult to find a 31-year-old overweight man in north korea is right on. this is a country that has a life expectancy 20 years less than in countries just a few hundred miles away from it because of the philosophy, and that's because of leaders and ideas -- melissa: okay. i'm deeply suspicious, i just want to be on record. in the meantime, the purchase of one of the u.s.' most iconic hotels is under review, awarding the nearly $2 billion sale of thal waldorf-astoria could pose security risks. number one, this is where the president stays. the chinese open it, you go in and bug it. and it irrational to be afraid about this? >> this hotel, they're going to put a lot of money into this hotel. they're going to remember rate it from top to bottom -- renovate it from top to bottom. melissa: in particular with all kinds of listening devices. monica, what do you think? >> remember the 1980 and japan was buying up the united states, and at one point they bought the empire state building. this is on a different level because japan was and still is an ally of the united states. we mow that china, especially -- we know that china especially with cyber assaults, the attacks on our property -- melissa: and intellectual property. >> yes. and like you said, we have very high-level people including the president staying at this hotel, it could be riddled with -- >> if the president of the united states, why doesn't he stay at some other hotel?
