"On a flight from Philadelphia an idiot told fellow passengers that he had Ebola, causing the plane to sit for hours as men in hazmat suits came to pull the creep off. That goofball on the plane got hauled away, but the hysterics in the media get to stay. Take Joan Walsh, who blamed Thomas Duncan's death on 'Rick Perry's Texas.' I blame that idiocy on Joan Walsh's brain. Disease is spread by many things, but hysteria is just as contagious, and a mother pulling her kid out of school in Dallas has a higher risk from a car accident than the kid getting sick. We don't help by describing everyone who coughs as having 'Ebola-like symptoms.' As flu season arrives, 'Ebola-like symptoms' will be as common as 'flu-like symptoms' because, for the most part, they look alike. So take a breath and remember Flight 370, where 239 people disappeared. We yapped until we were blue in the face on that story, then we stopped. The moral: If you worry about Ebola now, remember that something worse is coming your way. Like the 'Sex in the City' sequel."

Greg analyzed the Ebola story with Democratic strategist Marjorie Clifton and Tea Party activist Katrina Pierson. "We really don't know what we're dealing with here," Pierson complained. "We're being told by officials that we know how to contain it, yet we're sending the U.S. military to West Africa. We don't even know what strain of Ebola virus we're dealing with in Africa and here in Texas." But Clifton endorsed the military's intervention in Liberia and other affected nations. "We have some of the best health care systems and our military goes into a lot of different humanitarian situations. So if we can be helpful, why wouldn't we be? This has global implications if it isn't contained." Greg slammed extreme reactions on both sides of the political divide: "On the right you have people linking Ebola to President Obama, and on the left you have Joan Walsh linking Ebola to Rick Perry."

While chaos piles up all around him, President Obama is spending much of his time at ritzy and glitzy fundraisers. Greg asked Democrat Jessica Ehrlich and Republican Peter Snyder to opine. "President Obama isn't listening to his generals," Snyder said, "but he seems to be listening to Gwyneth Paltrow. He's AWOL and he is on pace to nearly double the number of fundraisers that President Bush did and triple the number that Bill Clinton did. This president simply doesn't want to be on the job." But Ehrlich defended the president's fundraising efforts. "He is the head of the Democratic Party and there is a major election coming up. It's crucial to the next two years of his administration that he maintain control of the Senate, so it absolutely behooves him to be out fundraising and helping his party."

As October began, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs predicted that the month will be filled with "more Obama denials, stonewalling, and energetic blaming of others." He entered the No Spin Zone to elaborate. "If one watches the behavior of this president over five years," he said, "you see him doing the same thing whenever he is confronted by crisis, failure, or scandal. I have never seen a man more self-possessed in the face of an onslaught of scandals that would shame, mortify, and humiliate a mere mortal. He has created a successful stone wall that now traverses five years." Greg castigated the media for its ongoing reluctance to investigate the Obama foibles: "Any of these scandals would have destroyed Romney, and if the Secret Service scandal happened under George Bush, they would say it's part of his frat boy persona."

Some on the far left, Rosie O'Donnell among them, are actually blaming the United States for the rise of ISIS. Greg solicited reaction from radio talk show host Mike Gallagher. "I have spent years studying liberals and trying to understand the liberal psyche," Gallagher began, "and I really think there is a distaste that many liberals have for what America stands for. Think of what the left hates - they don't like expressions of prayer, they don't like the Second Amendment, they don't like people who display flags. I think subconsciously they don't like America so they blame America for everything." Greg pointed out that many America-bashing lefties embrace all of America's bounties: "They love everything America makes. If you took away every iPad and iPod and natural gas and electricity, they would be in a cave crying."

Greg discussed the Ebola crisis and the U.S. efforts with former diplomat Ric Grenell and war correspondent Robert Young Pelton. "Solving this problem is going to cause more problems," Pelton worried. "Ebola is typically a rural disease and it self-extinguishes. But when you get outside medical workers in there to help, you actually run the risk of spreading the disease. Even our military could be affected, so we have to be careful about pouring too many resources into it." Grenell urged government officials to enlist private companies in the fight. "We're not doing a good job of reaching out to the private sector, which has all the solutions. Governments have a role in protecting their citizens, but the actual solutions are based in the private sector. Small companies that have incredible technology are forced to come to the U.S. government and beg, but in a crisis like this the government should be seeking out these small companies."

Greg introduced Bill's recent interview with actress Janine Turner, a rare Hollywood conservative, and her 16-year-old daughter Juliette Turner, both of whom have written new books. Juliette's book focuses on U.S. history. "My generation is not interested in history or the constitution," she lamented, "and that is part of what got me interested in history. It's our responsibility to maintain our freedoms and know our history, so what I tried to do in my book is make history fun." Janine's book details her career in a very liberal industry. "My conservatism hurt me when I was in my 20s," she recalled, "because everybody was running off to Jane Fonda parties while my dad was a West Pointer. I was always on the periphery of the in crowd, so it took a little longer for 'Northern Exposure' to happen for me." Turner also revealed that she was once engaged to far-left bomb-thrower Alec Baldwin. "I had the wedding dress, the invitations, everything. We didn't break up because of politics, it just wasn't working."
