to you. the reid out starts now. tonight on the reid out. donald trump poses a direct threat to every fundamental american value. he doesn t care about you, only himself and will hurt anyone and anything in pursuit of power. republican adam kensinger endorsing president biden as they try their best to lower expectations and make absurd accusations about biden. the supreme court has sprung another leak, this time accidentally releasing what appears to be a draft decision in an ohio abortion case. we begin with a question to pierce through the noise about the debate. will it matter? as a concept, it matters deeply. a democracy depends on pitching policies for the country. that s a normal part of an election, candidates who present themselves in a civil way as they have done since the beginning of the country. that s not what we have. we have a normal president and a former president who rants and rambles and lies. a 44 count felon and coup plotter who tried to stea

shank. he is a whistle-blower who in recent months sought to shine a light on an effort by conservative activists and welt wealthy donors to influence justices of the supreme court. his disclosure was revealed in a piece of reporting in the new york times a little over two weeks ago. we covered that here on this program at the time. it was a stunning allegation against the conservative justices on the highest court made by a conservative activist. of course, that court, as you know, is under heavy scrutiny following the leak earlier this year of the draft of the dobbs decision overturning roe v. wade. he appeared today before the house judiciary committee and explained in detail his efforts to court the court.
