during these extraordinary times. we are grateful. the beat with ari melber starts right now. hi, ari. hi, nicolle. thank you so much. we have news out of the supreme court. today is one of its last three scheduled decision days, and the news is a clue that the court may be slightly backing off its anti-roe and anti-choice rulings as of late. i say a clue, not a formal ruling yet, because while the court has not issued its ruling about whether to possibly allow emergency abortions in idaho, a very conservative state that has limited them, today i can tell you something unusual. the supreme court s website appeared to accidentally post what appears to be that draft decision. and it would, according to what i m telling you, which is apparently a mistake in leak or draft of it, it would allow those procedures under that draft. so, this is an apparent clerical digital error. and it marks a win for the biden administration. the draft of six justices siding with the biden doj
it s debate week so we have james here, too. 30 second spin room then we ll let you go. since i have you both here what s key for debate night, nicolle? i just think people need to understand this has never happened before. it s a huge television event. it s a huge political event. the conversations we have every day with our viewers and brilliant people like james are not things a lot of americans going to watch in the debate are going to be tracking day to day. it s hugely important. huge opportunities for both men and huge liabilities and risks for both men. it s why people watch sports. it s why football is one of the top 20 televised large events because anything can happen and can be brutal. this is the political version of a big and important consequential football game. yeah, absolutely. i m going to get james response, but as a courtesy because i know how hard you work, two hours every day, but i m going to let you go and we ll do it on the program. nice to see
