insist south african facilities cannot accommodate his disability or protect him from other inmates. >> general motors chief lawyer says he's stepping down. 66-year-old michael millican will retire early this year. milikin is actually going to step down next year. i should correct myself. over the summer, lawmakers dahled fdahl called for milikin to be fired. he said he did not learn of the problem until this year. at least 27 people died in crashes linked to the recall. general motors' ceo mary barra praised milikin as a man of integrity and loyalty. in washington, a group of wounded veterans take an oath to fight child predators and gain valuable skills for future employment. they're taking part in a program called hero corps, the human

on charge on the national and local levels. host chuck todd joins us live from washington. there are real questions about preparedness and government accountability with ebola. whose direct responsibility will it be to ready the nation and calm fears? we know a czar was named. >> well, it was. it's still the president. what was interesting in the type of czar he named, mr. ron klain, is that the decision was made in the white house that their problem was behind the scenes and it was organizational. they've decided it was agencies, not talking to each other that was the problem, they don't believe they have a public communications issue, that they have a behind the scenes issue, because if they thought theyç d a public communications issue, i think you would have seen somebody perhaps with a medical background named offer somebody that is above politics that hadn't been a political operative in the past. instead they were looking for somebody who had organizational skills and that's certainly mr. klain. for instance, he's not going to

be the public spokesperson on this. the administration already today told us if you're looking for somebody to comment publicly, talk to dr. anthony fauci of the national institutes of health. they still want the heads of the nih and the cdc to be the public health care faces on ebola while ron klain works things behind the scenes. >> there's less than three weeks before the midterm elections. how will ebola factor in with these races? >> well, we're seeing attempts, playly on the republican side of the aisle to lump the fear and anxiety of ebola with isis, with the border issue that we had, of course, a few months ago, involving the undoimted children from central america, lumping it into this, boy, are you feeling insecure in america? you know, do you need a more tough on national security type representative? similar, quite frankly, to the types of campaigns republicans

ran in 2002, that first midterm election after 9/11. they were successful in that campaign, the country viewed the republican party as a party of, quote, security. whether that works this time is an unknown question. i can tell you democratic operatives, candidates, were very nervous that the white house was looking behind the eight ball. they were quietly behind the scenes pushing the white house, do something, name a czar, so it looks like the administration is reacting publicly in a more urgent manner. >> so many questions with ebola still top of mind. it will continue to be. >> that's for sure. >> chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." we'll look forward to your full conversation this weekend. >> "meet the press" airs sunday morning right here at 10:30. and governor tom corbett is our guest on " @issue."

that's sunday on nbc 10 @issue following "meet the press" at 11:30. speaking of the longest running tv series, an exhibit is honoring the late tim russert in his hometown of buffalo. he suffered a fatal heart attack in 2009 while recording voiceovers for his next show. russert was bureau chief for nbc news in washington. he began hosting "meet the press" back in 1991. it is a cup of coffee with a side of life skills. >> how this philadelphia coffee shop is doing more than brewing a cup of joe. it's preparing kids for future careers.

the disease. >> reporter: no chance of contaminating the public he says, because unlike his competitors, his vaccine developed in anovia's california lab, shown here in video provided bit company is a synthetra vaccine, manmade, base the off the dna of ebola and does not contain a live culture of the virus. already proven successful on animal testing last year, kim says he hopes to begin human testing soon. now that ebola is present in the united states, it is now time to act quickly to get a vaccine here approved. and dr. kim says that in times like these when a pandemic is present in the united states, the government acts quickly to try and get these vaccines to market. he also tells me that in other cases, the other vaccines, there are other companies that are developing them, a few steps ahead of this company. he says because his vaccine is synthetic, it can treat multiple or prevent multiple strains of the ebola virus.
