No. Put shutdown away and say were going to use Public Health measures to help us safely get to where we want to go. Those measures were not in place last month in the rose garden when President Trump announced nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the supreme court. Were you surprised President Trump got sick . Absolutely not. I was worried that he was going to get sick when i saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people and almost nobody wearing a mask. When i saw that on tv, i said, oh, my goodness. Nothing good can come out of that. Thats got to be a problem. And then sure enough it turned out to be a superspreader event. After three days in the hospital with covid19, President Trump returned to the white house and soon started Holding Political rallies. Im in such great shape. President trump is earlier this month, the Trump Campaign released this television ad. It features what appears to be a glowing remark from dr. Fauci on President Trumps handling of the coronavirus pandemic. I cant imagine that anybody could be doing more. Stunning fauci says his words were taken out of context. But this week the ad continued to run in key battleground states. I do not and nor will i ever publicly endorse any candidate. And here i am, theyre sticking me right in the middle of a campaign ad, which i thought was outrageous. I was referring to something entirely different. I was referring to the grueling work of the task force, seven days a week, i dont think we could have done anymore than that. Did the seteam start to come out of your ears . It did. Quite frankly i got very ticked off. He says his ability to communicate with the public is not always under his control. During this pandemic has the white house been controlling when you can speak with the media . You know, i think you have to be honest and say yes. I certainly have not been allowed to go on many, many, many shows that have asked for me. One of the most trusted voices in america and yet youre not there. Youre not allowed to talk with us. So, can you understand the frustration that maybe theres been a restriction on the flow of information, on the transparency . I think there has been a restriction, jon, but it doesnt it isnt consistent. Another point of contention between dr. Fauci and the white house has to do with masks. Dr. Fauci said he did not say. He said very strongly. We have a minute left. Masks are not good. Then he changed his mind and said masks are good. Im okay with masks. At the beginning of the outbreak, dr. Fauci recommended against routinely Wearing Masks partly because he was concerned there would be a shortage of surgical masks for health care workers. But a month later, fauci reversed course after he says, it turned out people without symptoms were a significant source of spread. And masks, even homemade ones, could help stop transmission. So, lets see if we can put this to rest once and for all. It became clear that cloth coverings, things like this here, and not necessarily a surgical mask or an n95, cloth coverings work. So, now theres no longer a shortage of masks. Number two, metaanalysis studies show that contrary to what we thought, masks really do work in preventing infection. No doubt. So, no doubt. So, when you find out you were wrong, you dont double down . No, when you find out you were wrong, its a manifestation of your honesty to say, hey, i was wropg wrong.

The death of legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen has ended any talk of a reunion of the bands original line up. That would include David Lee Roth. Tracy smith caught up with roth, whose latest solo act has nothing to do with rock and roll. Reporter in the quiet of a late summer night, the artist is at work. This usually paint and draw at night. Yes, nighttime. Theres no magic to that. Its simple lack of visual stimulation. He makes intricate pen and brush images, all of them done in free hand in ink made in a centuries old formula. You may not be familiar with the sumie technique, but theres a chance youve already met the artist in another life. For most, David Lee Roth needs no introduction. As the original lead singer of van halen, he was diamond dave on stage, a human cyclone of crazy energy. But the heart of the band was cofounder Eddie Van Halen, who died of cancer earlier this month at age 65 and who was arguably one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. David lee roth performed with van halen for the last time in 2015. And shortly after eddies death posted this tweet. What a long great trip its been. These days at home in california during the pandemic, roths artistry is a bit more nuanced. But it didnt come easy. In fact, he spent two years in tokyo trying to master this technique. I spent the First Six Months painting bamboo because it was in spring summer. I said when are we going to paint Something Else. And he looked out the window and said, when the weather changed. And he wasnt kidding. So, for about four months, we painted a little house with snow on top. This is fascinating that you took two years of your life and went to tokyo to study japanese painting and drawing. You have a look that is a bit thats unusual. Thats unusual. Unexpected. Okay. Unexpected. Is it unexpected good or unexpected eccentric to you . Im curious. I think a little bit of both. I think it takes remarkable discipline and patience that most people, let alone a rock star who could be doing a lot of other things, would take the time to do. If you were a rock star and you had the money to do, just add that, do whatever it is, and im beyond all, ive always wanted a giant boat. If you can get past that, what would you use your rock stardom for . I dont know. Ive always used by celebrity as a passport for travel and lets go get into it. And heres Something Else he got into. In 2004, roth became a certified emt, emergency medical technician in new york city. He was 48 years old. But he says answering life and death emergency calls in the bronx was the thing in life that made him feel, well, like a rock star. I wasnt someone until i put on that 5 11 uniform and went on my first call. Im not going to kid you. I knew i was in the humbling experience of thinking it was an easy gig. But you want to do it anyway. Thats extra. You bet. He also learned that nay crisis, hit eps to have a little sense of humor. That is your only weapon. That is your only life preserver you can give someone thats about to die. No one calls 911 just to wish you happy hanukkah. These days his time as a paramedic is behind him but roth is very much still a performer. Before covid he had been touring az as a successful solo act. But now he says hes going to take it a little slower. Youre going to space it out a little bit . Im on my 45th year or Something Like that. Its great to see me, but not every year, like family. For now his media of the moment is pen and ink. It doesnt mean David Lee Roth will ever lose his voice. Who has the most impact on history . Government or the historian . He who tells the story, right . Hello. Thats yiddish for yo. So, is your art, your visual art, story telling . My visual art is complaining. Its graphic therapy. I say through my graphic art everything that a lot of folks say were now just two weeks until the president ial election, and as expected a lot of people are being buried under a blizzard of polls. John dickerson has on what these polls may mean. Were in the high season of political polls. It feels like were pelted with a new one by the hour. Public interest and looming election day charge the atmosphere. Are the polls solid . Can they be trusted . Whats the sample size . Ive never been called. Partisans bicker over interpreting the polls as if the election were on the line in that moment. In jittery times, polling keeps everyone hopped up. Maybe we should ignore them. Well know soon enough. But we should not ignore the polls if for no other reason than political polling encouraging humility. Thats useful in an age where everyone thinks theyre so right about everything. Over the whole stew of political polling looms the belief that the polls were wrong in the last election. This is the popular view. It is also the wrong view. In 2016, the average of National Polls showed that Hillary Clinton was leading by around 3 . When the votes came in, she won the popular vote by a hair over 2 . Very close. What was wrong was the way a lot of us thought about the polls and thought about the forecasts being made about who might win the election. Hillary clinton was given anywhere from a 70 to 99 chance of winning. Many people, even some who follow elections for a living, decided to round that number up to 100 . The polls arent to blame for that any more than the weather forecaster is to blame for your lack of umbrella when a 30 chance of rain is predicted. In this way the Political Class made a political mistake of leaning too hard on the numbers. In 1936 they overread a poll which showed missing by a mile because the poll participants looked more like the literary digest audience than the electorate. They misunderstood who might be voting, a mistake made in the midwestern states in 2016. Its the reason pollsters will be the first to warn about the uncertainties of polls. Voters and pundits may need certainty from them, but thats on us. Dont blame the polls for that. And that is the overnight news for this tuesday. For some of you, the news continues.
