Ebola in America.

The chaotic Ebola developments leave many wondering who’s in charge.

Senator Cruz is our exclusive guest.

Meanwhile, it’s a race to find more Americans potentially exposed to the Ebola virusDr. Anthony Fauci, director the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, joins us with the latest developments.
