we've got col with us now managing editor of suppose crystal ball center for politics at the university of virginia he's on skype from washington nice to have you with us i think that's probably a pretty good way of of of assessing this debate that people felt annoyed watching it because if you were looking to make a decision based on what the 2 men said would be pretty unlucky. yeah i mean look at it there was there was a lot of outrageous behavior i'd say almost entirely about the president just constantly interrupting and of course the president really doesn't tell the truth very very often during these debates and again that's not to say that other politicians don't don't tell mistruths for you know you're in there but but from sort of you know elite leads the nation in that category i think the way to look at it though in the c.b.s. you go poll kind of spells it out by 48 from 47 actually looks like a lot of the polls and now that the president is behind it went into the debate it's the being more out of that joe biden did it and i don't think you can look at it and say that the pr

entirely too many times, and especially in recent years, politics intervening in what should be driven by health and science. whether it's cdc, centers for disease control recommendations on how to deal with this pandemic. we've seen politics intervening there. >> do i read that you would be hesitant to take the vaccine if it was approved by the end of the year? >> yes, i would be hesitant. >> we heard a candidate tell 10 million north carolinans he would be hesitant to take a vaccine. i think all that's irresponsible. >> now, if democrats see political opportunity in fears about a vaccine, it is unethical for them to seize it. no one should be playing politics with the health of americans. but his sentiment is shared by a growing number of americans, and for many, worries about the vaccine start with the president. a president who says this about masks. >> i think wearing a face mask, as i greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, somehow i don't see it for myself. i want people to have a certain freedom and i don't believe in that and i don't agree with the statement that if everyone wear as mask, everything disappea

for both political parties from the 1960 tos the present. we'll see how the democratic primaries go. that's a debate the democrats are still having, do you go to the centerdo you go to the left? the republicans haven't had that debate for a while. they've had an argument about a conservative version of government that stems from hayek and buckley. so, the american political spectrum is kind of skewed, even though we think of the center as something that was defined in the 1950s. does that make sense? any questions before we begin to wrap up? >> [ inaudible question ] >> that's something to mention about rand. one of the things that's interesting about rand is the relationship with her and buckley on the issue of religion. so, rand is a secularist, really dislikes religiosity. buckley weds his catholicism to his libertarianism. and in some ways, i think although a lot of paul ryan and these figures really like rand, i think that represents the kind of conservative synthesis in america in the late 20th century less well than the figure of buckley because it's actually that fusion of conservative religious family values with free market economics that kind

breaking tonight, politico reported on emails, between political appointees and hhs at the centers for disease control, the trump administration official looking to review cdc reports before they went out, politico posted a screenshot from paul alexander from health and human services saying i request cdc go back and that report and insert this, stop all reports immediately. there aim is clear, this hurts any president or administration, designed to hurt this president for reasons i'm now interested in. i'm interested in any president served fairly and taxpayers money not being used for political reasons. the cdc work for him. unlikely standoff between protesters and police in portland, mayor ted wheeler is banning a key tool they have been using for crowd control. rick leventhal shows us tonight. >> that tool is teargas and border police have been using it sparingly only to disperse crowds when things get out of hand and wiser threatened. there is no need for it when more often than not crowds have been attacking officers and setting buildings on fire putting lives at risk. after 400

i know and it started with me talking about people i have known for 20 years, in the us and elsewhere, a political journey in the center right, maybe part of anti-communist movement in hungary, instrumental in arguing for and helping bring about communism and over 20 or 30 years changed dramatically becomes something closer to a new form of radical right, some became nationalist, some became part of or a spokesman for authoritarian leaning political parties. i decided the best way to do it was the perspective of people i know. to some extent i am in the story. in the united states, been there for a long time in the 1990s but have deep ties to poland, for many years, somehow i felt i couldn't tell this story without being in it because that would be cheating. i couldn't do what i did for the occupation of eastern europe, tell the story in a balanced way from our perspective, but a story that i could best tell in my own voice without people i know. people in politics, political entrepreneurs. higher connotations, people who are interested in ideas, to make ideas into politics, people who hang around think tanks, and poli

for political. good evening. you are center of the action at the white house this evening. tonight the president is ignoring the science again with his indoor arizona event. and tomorrow, the white house is expecting a large crowd at the israel signing ceremony. masks are not required. and this is worrying israel officials. right? >> it is. this is one event for the last 24 hours. every 24 hours for three days they have thrown the precautions that we have been taking for the last several months to the wind. starting with the rally in nevada on sunday. then of course arizona today where there was no social distancing. and very few masks. and tomorrow the president has got this big announcement here they will be signing peace accord. and the israel delegation. all the delegations coming tomorrow and what we're hearing is there it concern from the delegation visiting because masks are not required tomorrow. it will be outside. it will be on the south lawn of the white house. where the president gave his acceptance speech for the republican nomination. the concern is so many pe

political implications that i can tell. i thought i'd throw that in there. let me bring in eddie glaude, chair of the center for african-american studies at princeton, and sahill kapoor, national political reporter for nbc news. eddie, i want to talk about joe biden's visit to wisconsin today. he is going to be meeting with the family of jacob blake. he commented on his intentions today. here is what he said. >> there's been overwhelming request that i do come because what we want to do is we've got to heal, we've got to put things together, bring people together. my purpose in going will be to do just that, to be a positive influence on what's going on. >> as mike memoli just pointed out, the crux of jid's argument, eddie, for this presidency from the start is to heal the soul of america. how big a test is this today? and what does it say that he will be visiting the family? >> well, i think it's important that he's visiting the family, that he listens, that he in some ways gives voice to the fundamental reason why kenosha exploded, and that is the violence of police, the fact that jacob blake was shot in the

politics and science need to work hand in hand. let's bring in professor or they d.n.i. go he's a neurologist for an insanity hospital and the founding director of the qwest center for transforming biomedical research professor dan i got thank you so much for joining us how has the coronavirus changed the relationship between science and politics i don't think this relationship has changed in principle scientists provide evidence and politicians may or may not act accordingly but this is different for example to the scientific council because of the climate change is that it is in the nature of an emerging pandemic that the available evidence is often tentative new evidence leads to new interpretations and new recommendations potentially even rehearsals so in general politicians don't have a good track record in following sound scientific advice i mean climate change again is therefore not big surprise to me that politicians have difficulties in following scientific advise is it is based on preliminary evidence and reckoning by statistical models. now as they saw in that report there here in germany off that he has become a household name how much influence what you say individu
