Transcript

00:00:03.000 But right now we have an exclusive scoop, Fundip.
00:00:05.000 I'm very excited about this.
00:00:06.000 An exclusive scoop with the newly just announced, people don't even know appointed, but we have him before he's been appointed, Obama's Ebola czar.
00:00:16.000 Thank you so much, sir, for being a guest on the show.
00:00:19.000 Hello, hello, hello.
00:00:20.000 I'm really happy to be on your show.
00:00:22.000 Thank you for having me on.
00:00:24.000 Well, thank you so much.
00:00:25.000 Now, actually, we didn't even get your name, Mr.
00:00:27.000 Ebolazar.
00:00:28.000 How should we be referring to you?
00:00:31.000 My name is James.
00:00:33.000 James.
00:00:34.000 Okay, that's a pretty generic name.
00:00:37.000 Thank you, James, for calling in.
00:00:39.000 I try not to say my last name on the air.
00:00:42.000 I can imagine it would be uncomfortable, especially when you're dealing with something as volatile as Ebola.
00:00:48.000 So listen, this is obviously a big story, James, or Mr.
00:00:51.000 James, I guess I should say.
00:00:54.000 A lot of people are worried, are upset.
00:00:56.000 How can we prevent, as Americans, being exposed to Ebola?
00:01:01.000 How can we keep it from spreading?
00:01:03.000 Well, you know, it's very important to take preventative measures in a situation like this.
00:01:09.000 And, you know, you don't want people going off the wall and thinking that Ebola is just some crazy virus that's going to destroy the whole universe because that's just truly not the case.
00:01:20.000 Okay.
00:01:21.000 So for preventative measures, you want to make sure that, you know, if you're going to eat food or, you know, after you go to the bathroom and...
00:01:31.000 Okay.
00:01:36.000 So washing hands.
00:01:36.000 That's a good tip.
00:01:37.000 That's always a good tip to start with.
00:01:39.000 But what can you do to treat Ebola, let's say once someone might have been exposed?
00:01:46.000 Well, say, you know, if you were in contact, direct contact with a person that had Ebola, I would say that portion of you that had the contact with the Ebola carrier, just make sure you get some warm water and some soap if you have it, and wash that area thoroughly.
00:02:10.000 Okay.
00:02:11.000 And make sure you wash your hands.
00:02:12.000 Make sure you wash your hands.
00:02:14.000 It's always a good tip to remember.
00:02:16.000 So thank you, Obama's Ebola czar, James, with some salient points here.
00:02:22.000 What about the hazmat suits?
00:02:24.000 Now, the hazmat suits are a little bit of overkill.
00:02:28.000 Okay.
00:02:29.000 There's no reason to go that far.
00:02:32.000 As long as you have perhaps some hand sanitizer or some soap, you should be really fine.
00:02:43.000 Okay.
00:02:43.000 So with the soap, one would wash their...
00:02:48.000 Yes.
00:02:49.000 Okay.
00:02:50.000 You just got to take precautions.
00:02:52.000 Just make sure when you go to the bathroom, you do your usual deal and finish up with some wet wipes.
00:03:01.000 And what would that prevent?
00:03:03.000 Oh, that's just a better way to do things.
00:03:06.000 It's just a better lifestyle.
00:03:09.000 This is true.
00:03:11.000 Which bathroom, though?
00:03:15.000 Any bathroom.
00:03:16.000 Any bathroom you're in, just make sure you do your thing and wash your hands.
00:03:20.000 Right.
00:03:22.000 Dry, wet, then dry again is the rule.
00:03:24.000 They're doing those commercials now with Sherman, I think it is.
00:03:27.000 Okay.
00:03:28.000 How did the nurses – I guess clarify this for us since you're the authority on the issue.
00:03:32.000 How did the nurses catch the Ebola virus, James?
00:03:36.000 Well, it is in my expert opinion that probably these nurses were – Working in a close environment with a patient, and during that time that they were working with the Ebola patient, they probably did not have access to soap or water or hand sanitizer, and I'm guessing that they did not wash their hands.
00:04:04.000 Okay.
00:04:05.000 That's my guess as well.
00:04:07.000 So what would your advice be for any travelers, maybe?
00:04:12.000 If you're traveling around, if somebody's coughing around you, just tell them to cover their mouth.
00:04:22.000 Vampire cough.
00:04:23.000 Cough into your sleeve.
00:04:24.000 And tell them to wash their hands.
00:04:27.000 Tell them to wash their hands.
00:04:29.000 Okay.
00:04:30.000 I'm seeing a recurring theme here.
00:04:33.000 So I guess you would say that's probably the most important point.
00:04:36.000 Let me ask you this.
00:04:40.000 With Ebola.
00:04:41.000 Okay, so I've got some facts here in front of me.
00:04:43.000 Let's put it this way.
00:04:44.000 Since we have you here, I don't want to put you in the hot seat, but I kind of do have to put you in the hot seat.
00:04:50.000 The current Ebola outbreak is now the most widespread and intense in West Africa.
00:04:56.000 So this is kind of an outbreak that we haven't seen before.
00:04:59.000 Travel warnings have been issued for Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, main entry points to the United States, screen for Ebola cases.
00:05:08.000 We know the virus that causes it.
00:05:10.000 I mean, this is a symptom here of something that could be pretty serious.
00:05:14.000 Forgive my term, using the term symptom here.
00:05:18.000 I mean, what do you say to all that?
00:05:19.000 When Americans say we're concerned, this seems like a big deal.
00:05:23.000 Well, you know, the people in America, they like to make a big deal out of everything.
00:05:30.000 Sure, there are people dying, but things aren't as bad.
00:05:35.000 If these people in third world countries, they don't have a lot of soap.
00:05:39.000 They don't have a lot of water.
00:05:40.000 They don't wash their hands that often.
00:05:42.000 It's not America.
00:05:44.000 So my best advice to everybody in America is just wash your hands, take the proper precautions, and you'll be fine.
00:05:54.000 Okay.
00:05:55.000 How is Barack Obama handling all this since you're working in such close relation to him?
00:05:59.000 Oh, he's handling it pretty well.
00:06:01.000 I've been working close with him the last week.
00:06:03.000 We've been talking about the Ebola, and he asked me if it was okay to kind of go on with the usual business, and he was very concerned about he had a party to go to in Hollywood with Gwyneth Paltrow.
00:06:18.000 Of course.
00:06:18.000 I said, don't worry about it.
00:06:20.000 Go to your party.
00:06:20.000 Go to your party.
00:06:21.000 I got it handled.
00:06:23.000 I'm going to tell people about the washing the hands thing, and it'll be fine.
00:06:28.000 Right.
00:06:31.000 Okay.
00:06:32.000 I guess that kind of gets us to concluding this interview here, James, because it doesn't seem like there's that much else to say.
00:06:40.000 Have I missed something?
00:06:43.000 I mean, it seems to me that as a czar, you might have a little more to offer the American people.
00:06:48.000 Forgive me.
00:06:49.000 You know, I wish I did.
00:06:52.000 But it's a simple problem, simple solution.
00:06:55.000 So remember step one?
00:06:58.000 You got water?
00:06:59.000 Step two, you got soap, if you have it.
00:07:03.000 And step three, wash your hands.
00:07:06.000 Okay, so the three steps.
00:07:07.000 We got the three steps.
00:07:08.000 Well, thank you so much, James.
00:07:09.000 We appreciate you taking the time, quite a bit of time, actually, to give us a point that I'm sure you deem to be very important.
00:07:19.000 So thank you.
00:07:19.000 I don't know if we needed a whole segment on that.
00:07:21.000 But thank you, James.
00:07:22.000 Barack Obama's Ebola czar, people.
