Hello there, I'm Chuck Todd. I just got off the meet the press set where I wrapped up interviews

about abortion rights with the Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves, Michigan's attorney general,

Dana Nestle. I spoke with two former clerks about what it means for the future of the high

court. Obviously, this leak has created all sorts of consternation in that building sitting

here now with my colleague, Ali Vitale. She's a Capitol Hill correspondent for us here at

NBC News. So, Ali, this has been literally itch. I mean, there are a few, there are a few

terms of energy for turnout, that's really the metric work account. Well, I tell you, we're in the

field right now. When we come out next Sunday, we'll be debuting our numbers. And I know a lot of

poll, a lot of people, there's a lot of other little polling that's out there, but our friends

at Brands X and Y and Z don't use the best polling firms and methodologies. I'll just, yes,
