president obama -- kent brantly, survivor of ebola treated at emory. let's take a listen. >> the first unfortunate sole to suffer the ebola disease in west africa. sense that time, more than 10,000 people have contracted the virus and more than 5,000 have died in eight countries. the medical professionals of the three nations hardest hit by this epidemic, liberia, new guinea, and sierra leone, have fought with valiant effort against this menace but they need to turn the tide of the devastating outbreak. many members of this audience have already offered themselves sacrificial service to the people of west africa and others are preparing to go. it is my distinct honor today to thank these brave individuals for the gift of their love to their fellow human beings, for putting the needs of others above their own. the world owes them a debt of gratitude. but the struggle is far from over. more medical personnel are desperately needed. at this time, perhaps more than any other, we feel the impact of our position as citizens of not only the united states of a

kent brantly to introduce president obama. dr. brantly did serve in west africa, diagnosed with ebola and recovered here in the united states. there will be interesting optics there. president obama, i anticipate, will thank the health care workers for their service and underscore messages we have heard from this white house before. namely to your point about the quarantines. yesterday when president obama spoke, he talked about the fact that he does not believe this administration does not support mandatory quarantines. they fear that it could disincentivize health care workers like dr. kent brantly from going overseas to fight it at the source. the administration's argument is that is the key to dealing with the issue here in the united states, stomping out ebola in west africa. thousands of health care workers needed in west africa to achieve that very point. but, of course, joy, there has been a lot of debate about whether there should be mandatory quarantines put in place. the cdc has issued recommendations which don't go tha

>> i think kent is absolutely right. look -- the way it ultimately ends up is the way -- that's what courts look to in cases like this. so the question is going to be is there something within this intent? was it something that they actually designed to discriminate? that's why i'm saying as kent is absolutely on point and that is how are you going to hold them to this standard that is showing that while even in the absence they're in -- i have to tell i think it's a tough issue that the supreme court is going to be looking at. >> a tough issue because on the other side of that issue is the fact that people who are being discriminated against need protection as well. >> bob massey, kent zimmerman, thank you to both of you for joining us this afternoon. >> you bet. >> thank you, ken. take care, buddy. >>> well, new details are emerging about that suspect who is wanted in the deadly ambush of áwo pennsylvania state troopers. court documents revealing that eric freen sent a text message to a long-time friend saying "all is

kent brantly? certainly that could be the case but, remember, when you have so many separate factors at the same time going into the care of a patient and the end is won for this patient, it's virtually impossible to say this is the thing that did it and this is the thing that didn't do it. it's impossible to do. i'm not trying to evade it. that's the reason you want to do cl clinical studies where you can actually get that information so the next time we have an outbreak we can say this is the recommendation because we know it works. at this point, everything is experimental and that's what we're trying to do, take the experimental and make it evidence. >> dr. anthony fauci standing in front of nina pham in the green shirt, black jacket, who is flanked by her sister and mother. after suffering through a deadly disease of ebola, she's standing on her own the day she's being released from the bethesda, maryland, institution. she was thanking those who took care of her and particularly reaching out t

kent brantly. all of this as the nation's top five u.s. airports prepare to begin screening travelers from the west african nations most affected by the ebola outbreak, with screenings starting at kennedy airport on saturday. sarah doloff joins me from dallas outside the hospital where thomas duncan was being treated. give us the latest on what the hospital is saying now that mr. duncan has died, sarah. >> reporter: well, they're not saying much today, joy, other than to say they will not be holding a press conference out of respect for the grieving family. now, that family arrived yesterday from north carolina. they were able to meet with doctors about duncan's condition. they were given a small glimmer of hope in that his liver function was improving and he no longer had a fever. however, they understood how grave his condition was and they knew him dying could be a possible outcome. his fiancee, louise, who he traveled to america to marry, released a statement which reads in part, his suffering is over. i trust a thorough examination wi

. >> joining me now live from fort ke kent, maine, is jean casarez. the governor says he tried to negotiate a compromise. do we know what those details are? >> reporter: we don't know. governor lepage says there were hours of negotiations with the governor nor's attorney, the attorney general and a attorney for the nurse. kaci is in that home behind me. she's been there all day since the beak ride early this morning. but the governor says for health care workers at some risk and that is kaci, he says -- i think we can show everybody this, there are things they can't do. they can't take commercial aviation. they cannot take public transportation. they cannot go to public places. they are banned from public places, the word is. they are banned from the workplace but they can walk, jog, conceivably ride a bike but they have to maintain a three-foot distance away from others. what he's saying, jake, is that the state was willing to concede to this subjective determination of what a 21-day quarantine in your house is and that her side just wouldn't take it

kent brantly. now officials are racing to see how pham became infected. cnn's victor blackwell is in dallas with more on this effort. >> reporter: good morning. nina pham received the certification two months before treating thomas eric duncan at this hospital. pham likely was doing more than she was supposed to have done in treating this patient. that's what that person told the local newspaper. cdc detectives are here in dallas to determine if all of the protocols were followed. we heard from the hospital on monday. they were quick to point out the statement by dr. frieden, when he on monday walked back something that he said the day before. you remember on sunday, he said there was obviously a breach of protocol here that led to the infection. on monday, he said some people likely took that as blaming the nurse or hospital. that was not his intention. immediately after that, the hospital sent out an extended quote also highlighting that frieden said ebola is the enemy here, not a hospital, not a person, not a country, the virus is the enemy. essentiall

kent brantley for his selfless act of donating plasma to me. >> dr. kent brantley was one of the doctors who contracted ebola, and was cured here in the united states. he has been donating his plasma not only to pham but to a couple of others. i do want to go back out to erika pitzi. erica, we're still awaiting this press conference. are there any cracks in the system that have been apparent or was this an outstanding response as we heard carolyn maloney say? >> according to city leaders, this was an outstanding r response. the governor said we had been preparing for this not just at the hospital system, but also with transportation systems. the fdny responded right away when dr. spencer reported his fever and they sent their emt's in with their full protective gear. and here at the hospital we have specialized doctors and nurses that are trained and ready for this. we have done stories in recent weeks, about how bellevue hospital has been preparing and drilling. and one of the things that they have really learned out of dallas was the idea of these p

kent brantly. how did a health care worker contract ebola even with the protective gear and precautions in place for a hospital setting? and what does that mean for potential future cases? we'll hear from doctors and other experts about the protocols for treating ebola patients and about whether this country's hospitals are actually ready. we'll also hear about how the fear has been ratcheted up here in dallas now that it's home to the first person to contract ebola in the united states. we start with elizabeth cohen who is here with me live. you just got the latest on her condition, correct? >> reporter: right. we've still been told that she's in stable condition, so the hospital really has said very little about what they're doing to treat her or how she's doing. >> and you found out this, she's the one who has received blood transfusion from dr. brantly? >> yes, we were told they asked for that donation yesterday and she received it yesterday. so the hospital moved quite quickly on that. >> this
