but these two, cedric and lett, particularly i think lett, became real mentors to you. absolutely.portant thing that anyone�*s ever said to me, which is that you must make your work your best friend. in other words, you can go to it whatever you're feeling. you're feeling tired, you're feeling bored, you're feeling happy, you're feeling randy, whatever you're feeling, go to your work and have a conversation with it, and that is... that's a sort of mantra that stuck with you for your entire career. yeah. so let me... i don't want to sound like a sort of cod psychologist, but let me propose to you a thought, which is that you've been frank about your family life being somewhat unusual and somewhat difficult in that by the time you came along, your father was actually bisexual and really was more interested in homosexual relationships than he was in a relationship with his wife. true enough. yeah. and you've always said that painting for you was about truth and it was about honesty. so i'm wondering whether actually turning to painting and giving yourself to painting was your way of g

lette, obviously this was the worst-case scenario for president biden. he's saying he will hunt down and make pay those who did this. is there any indication how? >> reporter: well, that's exactly what president biden is trying to work through at this moment as he's vowing retaliation for this terror attack at the kabul airport. now, the president when he was delivering remarks at the white house yesterday said that he has asked his military commanders to draw up options for how to respond to this, including possible strikes against isis-k assets and leadership. the president has said that they have an idea of who might have been responsible for this attack, but they are still working on that full ascertainment. this comes at a time when the president and top military officials have warned that another attack from that islamic state offshoot could be possible, possibly imminent as that august 31st deadline for a drawdown approaches. right now you have this administration really operating on dual tracks, trying to identify and find and hold responsible th

we know that there is a lette coming to us but we have not received it yet. >> scott, there are so manyems. lives being lost, learning lost, what is your reaction to the amount of time and resources being wasted arguing over masks for students? >> i think this is a deeply unfortunate debate we're having. i think governors should be leaving discretion to the local officials to make decisions about how to employ the best mitigation to keep children safe. first goal has to be keep children safe and try to keep schools open. in florida they have had a lot of outbreaks and they have had to effectively close the school. so they have lost part of their school year. different schools, different local districts have different resources available to them in terms of how to employ mitigation. they have different ventilation systems, different requirements on spacing or different opportunities to keep students spaced apart. so some districts will need masks because they have not have other alternatives. we should leave discretion to the local districts to make decisions. it is unfortunate that that
