thank you so much for letting us into your homes during these extraordinary times. we are grateful. the beat with ari melber starts right now. welcome to the beat. i m ari melber and this is the final friday until the elections. we head into the weekend campaigning, four days out from election day and the campaigns are bringing out some of the big guns. i said it was up to the citizens of pennsylvania, and of course, but i will tell you all this. if i lived in pennsylvania, i would already have cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. there it is. that s oprah pushing democrats in the key battleground state of pennsylvania. we can report that tomorrow, there will be rallies there with biden, trump, and obama. so if you think about it, if there s one thing both parties do seem to agree on right now on this final friday heading into the midterms weekend, it is that pennsylvania is clearly important. important because it s close and it could decide control of
the new york post written before trump s announcement is entitled here s how donald trump sabotaged the republican midterms. you right in wart this, in almost every place a trumpster lost. there had been a regular republican who could and should have been the party s nominee. a nominee who could have taken advantage of the uniquely horrible facts and fundamentals confronting democratic candidates in 2022. but then toxic trump came into these races picking the candidates, candidate who bowed lowest or as in pennsylvania went for a snake oil doctor salesman because it seems his wife enjoyed watching mehmet oz on afternoon tv. voters have their own problems. this election was not about them. not toxic trump s inability to accept his oh failure and desperate need to elevate cringe-inducing boot liquors
this admission? you know toure i d glad you asked me this. this is interesting because holly madison, released the book against her tell-all of hugh hefner mentioned this. that quaaludes were in the 70s and 80s of thigh openers. not my words, toure. afternoon tv. so in that context, in the 70s and 80s and how they were used, now you could see how maybe he could say, well everybody was doing quaaludes and people had them and did sex and just the way that it is. okay? sounds crazy but, you know i m using my defense hat here. so a lot of people are putting the spin on it he s admitting something but if you read the words, what is he admitting to? offered them? you would have counseled him to say yes to this? this actually was the issue in the deposition itself. next question is did you knowingly or did they know that they were doing the quaaludes? which he never answered. let s ask you about that. the plaintiff s attorney asked

stacy, is it? absolutely and i wish there were more books like this. first of all, i would like to say, this woman it was her fault. she should have opened the book and saw what it was that is was giving to the children to read. megyn: she said, i told the kids to get three books each. she wasn t being responsible in checking out the book. this story is coming from a state where evolution cannot even be taught in school. everybody has got to stop being so squeamish about sex. this is how we get on this planet, right? megyn: right, but there are age-appropriate limitations. this book, no question about it, is explicit. i m not going to read it. it s afternoon tv. but i felt uncomfortable when i read the in-detail it s like a penthouse forum. oh, no. megyn: the man does this
