Well thanks for having me on. You know this is its not an opportune time to start to defund any efforts at Public Health i think that should be hopefully obvious to most people you know donald trump is no fan of Global Institution and i think he certainly would want to take steps to make sure that blame is placed didnt places other than where he is im not suggesting that the w. H. O. Did its job perfectly here i think the weather today b. H. O. The c. B. C. Or anybody else plenty of blame to go around but in the middle of a crisis to take the feet up the street that you need in the middle of a global epidemic doesnt make a lot of sense to me was the obama admin and what the Obama Administration is you know would have been prepared for this.

Well lets think about what our best wartime president s do they arm their troops they read the data theyre in kept to kl of good news they are decisive they move their troops around and they make quick decisions and they follow the data theyre not instinctual so i would love to say i would love for President Trump to take on those characteristics those are his i thought tendencies i think hes more instinctual i think hes
