searchers have begun sifting through the debris looking in finding more bodies this is the desperate situation as the u.s. president arrives on monday but he's already framing how he sees these historically bad wildfires spoke to the folks in oregon washington really haven't they never had anything like this but you know it is about forest management please remember the words. far east management please. but the democratic governors here strongly disagree and we know that climate change is making the fires start easier spread faster and intensify and it is maddening right now that we have this cosmic challenge to our communities with the entire west coast of the united states on fire. to have a president to deny that these are not just wildfires these are climate fires the weather did give firefighters

were with the coronavirus so in my her track i asked exactly that question you know what's going on and the president said well i think really to be honest with what you've got i wanted to. i want to always play for i just don't like playing it down yes because i don't want to create a panic i think he did not understand the american public. let's bring in jeremy mayer he is an associate professor of politics and government at george mason university he is joining us now from arlington in virginia many thanks for speaking to us jeremy pointing out that many of the headlines of these interviews and woodward did came out trickled out over the course of the last week or so given that what out what sort out for you in the woodward c.b.s. interview where there is no longer any deniability the president absolutely knew

that this was worse than the flu that it was an extraordinarily serious event that was airborne transmission would be like finding out that george w. bush was told that planes were going to hit the world trade center months in advance and he did nothing that's the school of what we just found out and trump's defense was that he didn't want to scare the public he didn't want to cause a panic how is that likely to go down with his supporters as well with his supporters i think they will still many of them accept it america is so deeply polarized right now that president trump once said that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in new york city and not lose any of his supporters well we're going to test that proposition right now with these revelations because if they are true and the we have the president on tape so we know they're true then some estimates are as high as 80000 americans would be alive today if the president

had used the knowledge that he so clearly have as i said as i mentioned some of this information has been out a few days now we've had some time to digest it how do you think it's likely to play out with the election. so there maybe some americans out there who haven't made up their mind between president from and joe biden but there are not many of them and to the extent that this news reaches them i think it plays better for the democrats but the sad truth of this election is that most americans have made up their mind and there's very little that could change someone who's against trump to make them both warm and there's very little that could change the people who are for trump to make them vote against him do you think bob woodward was wrong to withhold this information about what trump believed for all these months when i wrote

a book on media politics and what i can say is that we will be studying this decision in journalism schools for decades because the decision that woodward made to hold on to that information might again have contributed to the deaths of thousands of americans if he'd release this in february it would have been huge news and it might have made the white house have i don't know a national plan to deal with this fire it's interesting to me may get us to get to speak to associate press the professor of politics and government at george mason university leisure. the chinese video sharing app take top has accepted a buyout offer from the tech firm oracle tech talks parent company buying dance had been on but major pressure to sell off to us president donald trump threatened to ban the app trump said take stock was a national security risk because it says he's a data with the chinese government. at least 12 people have been killed in
