Us into your homes. Were grateful. The beat with Ari Melber starts right now. Hi, ari. Thanks, nicolle. Welcome to The Beat. Let me tell you what we are tracking and multiple stories including this deadly horrific School Shooting in georgia. In have an update on that during tonights newscast. Theres also very serious revelations about the ongoing scandal surrounding the supreme Court And Clarence thomas and his wife. We have that. And in the middle of the program im going to share with you my report on the Maga Play Book and accountability in the age of trump. Why they want you to be retired, and you might want to resist. So all of that is coming up. I want you to know what were doing on a very serious news day. Well begin with our top story, the general election under way. Donald trump has a light schedule this week. Kamala harris has a busy one. Shes an Offense Campaigning in New Hampshire on abortion rights. You know how hard people fought for these freedoms and that they are founda
ed, i ve been to norman a bunch of times. i know this is the worst thing to wake up to. it s the toughest to be able to make sure you re in a safe place? well, i ve always said, there s nothing worse than the overnight tornadoes in the dark. you have no idea, really, where it s coming from. and this is what the neighbors the residents in this neighborhood are dealing with. trees, about a foot in diameter, snapped in half. take a look way up there in the tree, about 30 feet high, a giant piece of plywood stuck in the branches there. that is rooftop that has been shredded off people s home. you can see, it gives you a sense of all of the debris that was flying around here, so wickedly. and here in this backyard, really gives you a sense, you can get in here because the fence has been completely blown out, but in particular home, fortunately, the owner of this home was in tulsa at the home, but this was you can also get a sense here of when you re inside your home and the
Himself of south korea is not in any way suggesting that trump should just accept. Be cautious, first engage at a lower level and trump is like no, i want to do it, lets announce it now. The south koreans end up making the announcement in the driveway in front of the white house. On every level, this is unprecedented, and yet on every level, this is par for the course and what we should expect with President Trump. Normally presumably you would have had the president say, lets think about it. Sure. Lets convene a National Security council meeting. Even president moon jaein, the south korean president all for engagement and negotiation, offered to meet with kim jongun he said if the continues are right, let me think about this. Ill get back to you. President trump normal situation should have done convene a meeting and talk about pros and cons of having such a Summit Meeting with kim jongun, and then coordinate the policy and
then announce it. So stanley, whats wrong with trying this .
which your piece that was so good a few weeks ago in the new york times points out, i think it s important for us also in fairness to note that during the trump administration, you had a number of liberal attorneys filing cases for nationwide injunctions against trump rulings to the ninth circuit court of appeals. because they thought, rightly so, that the ninth circuit would be favorable to them. so liberals are doing it, too. i have to say two things. one, i think that s true, to a degree. the big difference is what was happening during the trump administration was not this kind of hand-picking of individual judges. so when california, for example, would challenge a trump immigration policy, it would usually file in a courthouse in which it was subject to the random draw of 11 different judges. poppy, those judges might have been generally more sympathetic to california than to president trump, but again, i think that s the difference between forum shopping and judge shopping. bu
week, and we know they will. and i have heard some constitutional scholars say that you are not impeached until you send the articles over and it is not a distinction worth arguing over, because we will send them over and hear this from the house manager and the president s counsel and i argue with the president s counsel for the first time they get to make their case and i believe we will do it in january. i believe this is a mistake for the speaker to continue to dwell on this issue. it has not worked out that well for them politically. and the conduct that we are talking about with president trump has any parallel of the conduct of president obama or bush did, and the claim of the absolute immunity is unprecedented. she is focusing a spotlight on the need to have a fair trial in the united states senate, and it is especially necessary when you have mitch mcconnell, and senator mcconnell who you quoted earlier saying publicly that he is not going to be an impartial juror, even th
