1:22 pm
conditions unimaginable in the battle against the flames continue. the director of oregon office of emergency management, thank you for joining us. it is a complete tragedy, what is is like going through this, when you see this damage and know what's going on in your state. >> absolutely historic wildfires from the oregon california border up to the washington oregon border, anyone of these fires would've been historic but to have so many fires on the landscape causing so much in so much devastation and losing so quickly has been incomprehensible in a lot of ways. eric: why are they so widespre widespread. >> we had an incredible wind event with sustained winds of 4e cascade into the valley north and south all along oregon in

1:24 pm
incidences like this, what is it like for the men and women on the ground when they're facing this on the woods and battling the flames and fire and what type of strategy do they use. >> we had to take defensive strategies, many of the folks fighting the fires are oregonians, their communities have been impacted and their families have been impacted by the fires and we want to make sure they're getting the support that they need and were moving forward as a state already working through recovery efforts and thinking of long-term needs that we will need is a state to recover from this. eric: you talk about the cause, there's been several issues pointed to forest management, climate change, the dry conditions and low humidity, is there one thing or is there several that have come together after this? >> summer was very, very dry, the high wind event which is unusual for us, we have high
1:25 pm
wind events but is generally during the wet season so all of those things combining across the landscape in addition to smaller fires that blew out of control because of the winds really led to the impactful event statewide. eric: there have been rumors on social media that antifa started some of the fires and fears that they could get to portland and those have been debunked by law enforcement officials, what about that. >> they have been debunked in any disaster startup the spending where they're going to go or even things like donations that are needed that can inundate local managers and adds to the complexity of the response and rumors are never helpful, we ask folks to get information directly from official government sources and we rely on the accurate reporting of news across the state and around the country to get accurate and timely information to the public to help us do our jobs and to get
1:26 pm
accurate information. eric: finally, how long do you think it'll be until you can get it calm down. >> weather has been cooperating a little bit, we are cooler temperatures, more moisture in the air, rain on the forecast, over much of the area tuesday and it keeps the smoke and the environment a little bit longer preventing us from doing a lot of aerial firefighter which is going to be huge boost once we can get more aircraft in the air and get lines around the fires but it's going to be a long haul firefight in the recovery process is going to be fierce. eric: absolutely, andrew, i can speak for our viewers, our hearts and thoughts are with you in the people of your state and we think those around the front line. director, office of emergency management. thank you. laura: president trump and joe biden are preparing for a high-stakes showdown in pennsylvania, coming up next why both sides see the keystone state as a key to victory in

1:35 pm
wonder, pennsylvania has always been. it has the demographics that are beneficial conceivably to both campaigns. for donald trump, this is outside of pittsburgh and philadelphia a lot of rust belt territory with a lot of rural voters and suburban voters who he convinced in 2016 overwhelmingly that he was, you know, the recipe for people who had long been forgotten, the solution. for joe biden if you were to look at the top slate of democrats that won here in 2018, this is a state that has tom wolf has governor, this is a state that has bob casey as u.s. senator. it comes, you know, with the theory here that democrats are veried moderate here, and he can make the argument in old rust belt lawyers that donald trump did not bring back manufacturing and did not bring back the forgotten hope of these workers. it sort of could be beneficial for both campaigns, and that's why you see this much attention.
1:36 pm
laura: we were watching a sound bite from vice president mike pence, and, you know, how do you think that he did with that campaign stop? how do you think it went over the week? he not only talked about how he thinks president trump could help the state through the next four years if reelected, he also has a dire warning for voters if they chose biden, and at that point the biden campaign fired back saying the vice president has no right to criticize after they say the trump administration has let big corporations off the hook with taxes? >> well, if you want to look at a dire warning, you just have to look at the backdrop of where he did that speech. he dud it -- did it at an old natural gas drilling well where he wanted to make the case that, hey, listen to joe biden when he says he wants to ban fracking. of course fracking has become such a huge issue in western pennsylvania and, frankly, there's been a lot of confusion because joe biden's campaign has had to clarify, sought to clarify what he said on fracking and say, you know, the candidate
1:37 pm
here wants to ban fracking on public land, and the majority of fracking is done on private land. mike pence came and offered that warning, that fracking will be banned and, if so, it could lead to half a million jobs being gone in pennsylvania. of course, that estimate is a little bit high. there are only about 20,000 fracking jobs. you could make the argument that downstream jobs could be lost as well. lauer pennsylvania's so important, now you've got former new york city mayor mike bloomberg sinking big money into biden's campaign down in florida to help the democrats in pennsylvania. here's a quote. my substantial investment in florida will mean democrats and the biden campaign can invest even more heavily in other key states like pennsylvania which will be critical toll a biden victory, that coming from a senior bloomberg adviser. of so how much is that going to help? >> it could help magnificently because, if you think about it, it's been extremely hard to judge enthusiasm in pennsylvania mostly because joe biden hasn't

held a traditional campaign rally coalescing his support here since april. and i'm not talking about april this year, i mean april of 2019 when he launched his run for the presidency. donald trump held a campaign rally earlier this month to a couple thousand people and a spillover crowd. you could argue that the state still imposes the 250-person limit because of covid-19, so whether it's because joe biden is simply following the rules, i think the jury's out on that. but money from mike bloomberg and advertising seems to be the only way they're getting across to voters in pennsylvania. laura: and th issues around law enforcement also being brought up. really quick, who do you think is making more of a connection on that front? >> i think the jury is still out on that as well. i don't think there's much evidence to show in polling in particular how suburban voters have reacted to that, but the warning's been clear. laura: julian route, thank you so much with the pittsburgh post gazette. great of you to be here today. thank you. >> thank you. laura: all right, eric.
