Welcome, Marguests.

Tonight for the hour is Bob Woodward.

His new book and the subject of it cannot be more timely.

The title, the book is Rage.

The subject is Donald Trump's leadership.

As of tonight, more than 195,000 Americans have died.

We are, of course, experiencing a steep recession in the presidential election a little more

than a month and a half away.

Bob Woodward spoke 18 times to the president in making the book.

He recorded the conversations and you'll hear many exchanges for the first time tonight.

Others have already been released and they've already become front page news, establishing

in the president's own words that he knew very early on just how deadly and contagious

COVID-19 was.

He did not share that with the public, with the very people who's security, health and

welfare are supposed to be every president.

Any president's first priority.

What's more, as the president himself suggested to Woodward in conversation on the 19th

of March, his first priority was to withhold the truth, to quote, play it down.

He said and continues to say he wanted to minimize panic.

We'll speak with Bob Woodward about that and much more over the next hour.

The book, again, is called Rage.

Bob, thanks very much for being with us.
