Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with one of the most striking aspects of Donald Trump’s third arraignment on Thursday--the man who showed up in a Washington courtroom that day was basically alone. Plus, after all those years of "lock her up," Trump and his rapidly shrinking inner circle apparently do not see the hypocrisy of whining about the possibility of Trump going to prison, as his lawyers test out long-shot defenses for the serious charges he faces.

All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut following Thursday's breaking news out of Washington, DC. Donald Trump, for the third time this year, entered a courthouse, stood before a judge, and pleaded "not guilty" to his alleged crimes. Unlike the previous two instances, the location of Thursday's arraignment tells its own story, because the former president essentially returned to the scene of the alleged crime. The DC federal courthouse stands in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol where Trump’s efforts to subvert our democracy, following his failed 2020 presidential bid, culminated in the insurrection at that very building. Sitting just feet away from Trump as he entered his not guilty plea was special counsel Jack Smith. The next hearing was set for August 28 before Judge Tanya Chutkan who will oversee the trial. Rep. Jamie Raskin and more join The ReidOut to discuss this historic third indictment of former president Donald Trump.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what is likely to be not only the most significant criminal case against the twice-impeached, thrice-indicted former president, but also the most important trial of our lifetimes--the United States of America v. Donald J. Trump. On Thursday, Trump will be arraigned in a Washington, D.C. courtroom. He is expected to plead not guilty to four criminal counts. This latest indictment of the former president, handed down by special counsel Jack Smith, is an incredibly detailed and damning account of an attempt to subvert democracy and forcibly overturn the 2020 election. What Jack Smith lays out in the 45-page indictment is a frightening look at just how close we came to losing American democracy over two years ago. Joy Reid and her expert guests bring their potent analyses to these historic developments in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut as we continue to follow the breaking news that Donald Trump has received indictment number three courtesy of the DC grand jury investigating his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Never has a president of the United States refused to relinquish power until Trump. Never has a former president come up with a conspiracy that involves having their vice president overturn the will of the people through the use of a fake electors scheme until Trump. Never has a former president incited an insurrection with armed extremists to storm the U.S. Capitol until Trump. No U.S. president has ever been indicted, before Trump. For Trump this is indictment number three, and in many ways it is the most historically significant one. Chair of the former House January 6th Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, reacts to these historical developments, joining our expert guests on this breaking news edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with reports that Donald Trump is likely waiting to see whether Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis and/or special counsel Jack Smith will increase his number of indictments to three or even four before the end of summer. Plus, we examine the first court appearance of Carlos De Oliveira, the Mar-a-Lago manager accused of scheming with Donald Trump to cover up his purloined classified documents.

Sheldon Whitehouse joins Joy on the effort to stop him and Clarence Thomas from accepting fancy gifts from their wealthy associates. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this episode of The ReidOut, we discuss the document outlined in the new, superseding indictment, and reports that special counsel Jack Smith has this document. Plus, we dig deeper into the alleged words of a Trump employee, that the "boss" wants the server deleted. This Trump employee is now the third defendant in the classified documents case, leading to additional obstruction counts against the former president. Finally, wouldn't it be refreshing if Ron DeSantis could admit that teaching that there were benefits to slavery for enslaved Africans is a mistake that needs to be corrected? Yet, he is doubling and tripling down on it--and blaming Vice President Harris for the controversy. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with breaking news in the multiple special counsel investigations into Donald Trump. A superseding indictment has added a new charge against Donald Trump: one additional count of willful retention of national defense information. It also adds a third defendant to the case, alongside Trump and his longtime valet Waltine Nauta. Carlos De Oliveira was the head of maintenance at Trump’s Florida resort and reportedly helped Nauta move boxes of documents from the infamous storage room at a key moment, a day before prosecutors came to retrieve those remaining classified documents. He is facing four charges including conspiracy to obstruct justice, concealing an object, corruptly concealing a document, and false statements. This comes as Trump is likely facing his third indictment as a former president. Joy Reid and her expert guests bring you the latest developments in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Plus, we examine the House Republicans' apparent revenge agenda kicking into high gear with a new obsession to impeach President Biden for an offense that puzzles many.

This turned their worlds upside down and put their lives at risk. The lawyer for those women joins Joy in this episode. We also analyze how pro-choice supporters got enough signatures to put reproductive rights on the ballot in Ohio. While polls show these rights have the backing of a clear majority of voters, if Republicans get their way, that may not matter. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with how in 2023 Donald Trump is now the apparent poster child for the "defund the police" movement, delegitimizing the Department of Justice, the FBI, and more.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a lot of breaking news. NBC News has confirmed that special counsel Jack Smith has informed Donald Trump that he is a target of the special counsel’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Being named a target almost certainly means that Trump will face arrest and his third indictment this year. Meanwhile, on Tuesday in Michigan, the 16 fake electors Trump allegedly tried to use to claim he had actually won that state were indicted for their participation. This comes as lawyers for the former president and the special counsel were battling it out in a Florida courtroom, in front of Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon, over whether Trump could postpone the trial in the classified documents case until after the 2024 election. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut with Joy Reid on MSNBC.

In all, the special counsel is charging Trump with 37 counts. Thirty-one of them have to do with Trump’s willful retention of national defense information, otherwise known as the Espionage Act.

Joy Reid and her guests analyze President Biden's first ever Oval Office address to the nation on a big night for the president. He is expected to sign into law the debt limit package as soon as Saturday. This prime time address comes fresh off the passage of the legislation by larger than expected margins in both chambers of Congress. It was less than 24 hours ago that the Senate passed the agreement to suspend the U.S. debt limit for two years. President Biden walks into Friday's speech with an economy crushing expectations with a stronger than anticipated May jobs report.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with President Joe Biden's theory that bipartisanship is best winning out when the House of Representatives voted to pass the debt deal he worked out with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. This as many on the right continue to push fringe positions, personal grievances and conspiracy theories, critics say. Also in this episode, some on the right are turning the defense of the violent January 6th criminals into a movement. Is Kevin McCarthy complicit? Sandra Garza, partner of fallen Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries sustained while defending the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection, joins Joy with her perspective.

Plus, we have new information on the eight victims, including three children, in the tragic mass shooting that just took place in Allen, Texas.

Jean Carroll was back on the witness stand on Monday facing cross-examination about her allegation that Donald Trump raped her.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented from the decision.

Mark Thompson, tells The ReidOut that statehouse speaker Cameron Sexton, “must resign for his attacks on democracy.” Plus, we have the latest in the the showdown over the abortion pill, as a right-wing activist judge wants to prevent all access to abortion medication, while Republican politicians scramble to try get everyone to, "talk about other things."

All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what she calls an "unprecedented" and "frankly shameful" day in American politics. The Tennessee House took up resolutions to expel three Democratic lawmakers, not for breaking any laws.

Former St. Rep. Justin Jones, who represents the district in Nashville where last month's shooting took place, and who was ultimately expelled by Tennessee House Republicans, joins Joy Reid live to speak out on his explusion from the legislative chamber right before the vote that would lead to the explusion of former St. Rep.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that it was not the Department of Justice that brought the historic charges against Donald Trump, but a local prosecutor in the state of New York.

Plus, despite warnings to refrain from inciting violence, Trump is still attacking Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Judge Juan Merchan, and their families.

Finally, we cover how many students across the country walked out of class to demand an end to gun violence. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what was an historic day in lower Manhattan, as America learned the full extent of the allegations against the former president--the first American to be charged with a crime. Donald Trump was uncharateristically grim and silent while entering the courtroom, ignoring questions from reporters before pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. After the twice-impeached former president's arraignment, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg addressed reporters about the importance of pursuing the case against Donald Trump. After calling Trump's indictment "Karma," Dr. Yusef Salaam, a member of the Exonerated Central Park Five, joins Joy on turning the ad that Donald Trump created calling for his death and that of the others also erroneously accused, into a campaign ad for his current run for New York City Council. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Former Manhattan DA Cy Vance revealed why it has taken so long to get to this point, just hours from the finger-printing of the first criminally indicted former president.

All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with historic breaking news. For the first time in our country’s history, a former U.S. president is facing criminal charges. A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict Donald Trump for his role in the hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. This is the first time in history this has happened. Two sources familiar with the situation told NBC News that Trump’s attorneys have been notified that he has been indicted. The exact charges are unknown, because indictments are typically filed in court under seal after a grand jury’s vote in New York. The Manhattan district attorney was known to be focusing on a felony charge of falsifying business records. It is a charge that carries a maximum prison sentence of four years. Trump's attorney told NBC News that he is expected to surrender to the Manhattan DA's office early next week. Joy Reid and her expert guests bring you the latest details in this major developing story on The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a new symbol taking over America--the AR-15. Many Republicans celebrate the AR-15 despite the fact that mass murderers routinely use it for its intended purpose, which is to quickly kill people. Joy and her guests discuss how that weapon of war became so powerful politically for the right, and how Republicans are able to supress gun control measures the vast majority of Americans, including gun owners, support. Plus, we expose how the right is using the Nashville mass murder to put a target on the backs of transgender Americans. Additionally, in the battle over TikTok: Will Congress actually ban the wildly popular app? And is it any more of a danger than Elon Musk's Twitter or Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook?

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the news that a federal judge says former Vice President Mike Pence must testify before the federal grand jury investigating the insurrection and Donald Trump's alleged plot to overturn the election. Plus, gone are the days of a functioning House of Representatives. Kevin McCarthy has apparently handed the keys to the "insurrection caucus" many critics believe, which appears to have no agenda except punishing its political opponents and seeming to assist Donald Trump. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever do the job and the current Speaker Emerita, joins Joy on this, and the need to pass an assault weapons ban in the wake of the Nashville school shooting. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a tragedy that is unique to America--another school massacre, this time in Nashville, Tennessee. First lady and teacher, Dr. Jill Biden, responded to the latest horrific act of mass violence calling for change, as politicians in states like Tennessee apparently worry more about drag shows and banning books than about actually protecting children. Also in this epidose, public protests in Israel and elsewhere against a rising wave of authoritarianism abound, while here in the U.S., there is a shocking lack of urgency in repudiating the conspiratorial and violent rhetoric of our homegrown, suspected autocrats-in-waiting. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to lash out at the Manhattan DA, as the Manhattan grand jury hears from a key player in Trump's alleged hush money scheme. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

We offer our deepest critique. Plus, we highlight the staggering increase in book banning across the country, targeting more than 2,500 book titles last year. All this and more in this editon of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this edition of The ReidOut, Dr. Jason Johnson fills in for Joy Reid. We cover how a Manhattan grand jury is preparing to vote soon on an indictment of Donald Trump related to a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels. As we await their decision, there are several major developments on other fronts. A judge says the special counsel has provided sufficient evidence that Donald Trump committed a crime through his attorneys in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, and that Trump attorney Evan Corcoran should be compelled to tell a grand jury everything he knows about that alleged criminal conduct. Our legal and political experts discuss these matters and more. Plus, in this installment of our "State of Disunion" series, we cover how most Americans are concerned about about fair wages, affordable housing, solid schools that are safe and safe drinking water.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that it is Tuesday--the day that the former president told America he would be arrested and charged by the Manhattan district attorney--which has not happened, but if and when it does, it would be historic. As we await news of a possible Trump indictment, we recall the case of John Edwards, the rich and powerful Democratic politician who was indicted for something very similar to Trump--allegedly breaking campaign finance laws after a tawdry affair. Joy and her guests analyze the unsubstantiated Republican allegation that the Department of Justice among other law enforcement agencies are partisan. Also in this episode, a Fox producer has accused the network of coercing her into providing misleading testimony in the Dominion defamation lawsuit, as a judge begins hearing pre-trial arguments in the case. MSNBC legal expert Katie Phang has more.

We have the latest reporting on this tragedy. All this and more in this editon of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the potential indictment of Donald J. Trump over allegations that he illegally paid hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 run for the presidency.

Our politics experts weigh in. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with the fact that Donald Trump's defense of the indefensible--taking sensitive documents to Mar-a-Lago--is getting more absurd by the day. Now, his handpicked judge has received an embarassing rebuke from a panel of appeals court judges. Also in this episode, we cover how New York's attorney general has exposed Trump's most sensitive insecurity--that he is not nearly as rich as he claims to be. This is something that our guest, Tim O'Brien, forced Trump to admit in court a decade ago. Then we shed light on what has been termed "the performative sadism" of Ron Desantis by The Daily Beast, as few other politicians seem to apparently get as much glee out of seeing other people get hurt. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut examining the much-anticipated, redacted copy of the search warrant affidavit of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Of the 38-page affidavit, nearly half of it is redacted. Those redactions by the Department of Justice and approved by U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt are designed to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation by not disclosing highly sensitive information about witnesses and other grand jury material. In the 15 boxes of documents returned to the National Archives in January, the FBI found 184 unique documents bearing classification markings, including 67 documents marked as "confidential," 92 marked as "secret," and 25 marked "top secret." As we are learning more about why FBI agents searched the former president's compound, we demonstrate why storing government documents at a public events venue is a dangerous idea. Joy Reid is joined by Rep. Eric Swalwell plus her expert guests to discuss this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Also, it has been a very good week for President Biden with some major victories in Congress, while Republicans were doing the usual, such as voting against veterans' needs and American technology development. Plus, the Republican embrace of Christian nationalism proves that they do not know their history. We have seen this story before and it does not end well.

He was actively watching and waiting for his coup to succeed, according to the select committee. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn joins Joy Reid to discuss the culmination of the first round of hearings. Also tonight, we cover Steve Bannon being found guilty on both counts regarding his contempt of Congress charges.

Plus, apparently a pariah no more, we look at President Biden's very controversial meeting with the Saudi crown prince accused of ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Then, Malcolm Nance joins Joy Reid on his new book, ‘They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency,’ and how he believes Ukraine will win its war against Russia’s unprovoked aggression.

The Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol insurrection is not the only body battling the Big Lie perpetuated by Donald Trump and his allies. A prominent group of conservatives issued a detailed report on Thursday showing that there is "absolutely no evidence of widespread fraud" in the 2020 election. The question remains: will their conservative peers finally listen? David Hoppe, former chief of staff for Speaker Paul Ryan, and one of the authors of the aforementioned report, and Abdallah Fayyad, opinion writer for The Boston Globe, join Joy Reid to discuss.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the legal case against Donald Trump, and why it matters.

In this episode of The ReidOut, Joy Reid brings you a major development on the Jan. 6 front. On Friday, a federal grand jury indicted former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, who ignored a subpoena from the January 6 committee. Navarro has not been shy about divulging his role in the plot to overturn the election. He wrote a book, and talked to pretty much anyone with a microphone about it. He's now the second Trump ally indicted on contempt of Congress charges. But first, Joy leads the program with Rep. Mondaire Jones of New York continuing to speak out on the GOP apparently choosing guns over kids. Then joining us from Uvalde, María Teresa Kumar, president and CEO of Voto Latino, shares about attending the funeral of one of the victims of the mass shooting.

Meanwhile, in Washington, lawmakers met to discuss a possible way forward on gun safety legislation. The senator leading those talks, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, joins The ReidOut. But, Joy begins this episode with a hard conversation about the AR-15 and the industry that gives murderers the tools to succeed in devastating fashion. It was not always like this.

As the community in Uvalde continues to mourn the lives of those 19 children and two teachers, the National Rifle Association is holding an apparent praise and worship session for the AR-15 and other weapons of death in the face of local and national outrage. Plus, Joy outlines how the unthinkable happened in 2020, when the leading cause of childhood death was no long car accidents. It was gun violence.

NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders joins Joy with the latest on what we have learned may have unfolded on that tragic day.

Then, Joy brings us her analysis saying, "The Republican party never changes. For decades they've consistently blocked gun reform, opting instead to sit aside and watch the body count rise. Is this time going to be any different?" Listen now for her discussion of this question with Democratic strategist Kurt Bardella. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid begins this episode of The ReidOut remembering the victims of the Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting, and lambasting the Republican politicians who claim that demands to address gun violence and end such violence in schools amount to politicizing this tragedy. "So to hell with anybody who says 'Don't politicize this,' because these deaths--until we change and stop letting this minority of ghouls rule us--this is who we are," Joy says. Anti-gun violence activist Fred Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter Jaime was murdered in the mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018, joins The ReidOut. Plus, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse joins Joy on what seats would need to be flipped in the Senate to pass legislation that the majority of Americans want, such as common sense gun control--and it is only four or five, according to the senator. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid begins this episode of The ReidOut with yet another devastating tragedy that leaves us all emotionally spent, exhausted, angry, and indescribably sad. Eighteen little kids and one of their teachers are dead in Texas, and countless more traumatized, after yet another mass shooting, this one at Robb Elementary School. The school is in Uvalde, Texas which is 85 miles west of San Antonio. Texas Governor Greg Abbott identified the shooter as an 18-year-old Uvalde resident. He added that the shooter abandoned his vehicle and entered Robb Elementary with a handgun and possibly a second firearm. Abbott added that the shooter was likely killed by responding officers, but that the events were still being investigated. Abbott, along with former president Donald Trump, and Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz are scheduled to speak at the National Rifle Association's 2022 annual meeting on Friday in Houston. Nationally, 134 children have been killed by gun violence this year alone. Joy Reid is joined by Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise. She lost her 6-year-old son Dylan in the Sandy Hook Shooting.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut live from Liberty Plaza in Atlanta near the Georgia State Capitol on the eve of Georgia's primary election. There are several major races many are keeping a close eye on, as Georgia was ground zero for the former president's scheme to steal the 2020 election. On Tuesday, voters will determine if Republican attempts to steal the next presidential election in a similar manner can be stopped. Polls indicate that the race for governor will likely be a rematch of 2018 between incumbent Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams. Stacey Abrams, Democratic candidate for Georgia governor, joins Joy Reid on the state of Georgia politics. Plus, the Georgia primary is also a test for the state's Democrats, some of whom are finding themselves in new, competitive districts. Meanwhile, the results of Tuesday's elections will run headlong into the state's restrictive voting laws in November. U.S. Representative Nikema Williams and LaTosha Brown, co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, join Joy on these important issues. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leas this episode of The ReidOut with a vote that puts Republicans on the record, actively harming their constituents by refusing to codify Roe v. Wade into law. On Wednesday, every single Republican senator voted against advancing the Women's Health Protection Act, which prohibits government restrictions on abortion. Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Cori Bush join Joy Reid to discuss. Next, we analyze how, although it was Justice Samuel Alito who wrote the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, all eyes will be on Chief Justice John Roberts when the Supreme Court meets on Thursday for the first time since the draft leaked. Plus, former Attorney General Eric Holder joins us on his new book, and the danger America still faces in the wake of Jan. 6. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Sheldon Whitehouse, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, joins Joy Reid to discuss. Plus, we address the assessment today from our top intelligence officials that Russia's offensive in Ukraine is not expected to end anytime soon, and could be heading into an even more volatile and deadly phase--even as it appears that the two countries are facing a stalemate. Finally, Joy explains how what just happened in the Philippines should serve as a warning to democracy-loving citizens around the globe, because what once seemed relegated to the trash heap of history has now re-emerged as a real threat against modern democracies. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with the frightening truth about where America is headed post-Roe v. Wade, as the public outcry continues to grow. Next, we discuss how Russia held its annual "Victory Day" parade--Russia's celebration of the Soviet Union's role in the defeat of Nazi Germany--where Vladimir Putin once again tried to justify his murderous attack on Ukraine by baselessly framing it as a continued fight against the Nazis. The military parade comes as Russia is in actuality not doing well in this war. A senior U.S. Defense official tells NBC News that Russia's progress in the Donbas is "somewhat anemic." Maksym Borodin, a Mariupol, Ukraine city council member, joins Joy Reid to discuss. Plus, last month, Florida’s education department made a big to-do about publishers allegedly trying to indoctrinate children through math books, saying it rejected books that included references to "critical race theory."

Jason Johnson sitting in for Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the battle for Ukraine. Russian forces continue their brutal and unrelenting assault on the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, where 200 terrorized citizens remain hunkered down and looking for a way out. Next, responding to the impending end of Roe v. Wade, California governor Gavin Newsom channeled the urgency many are feeling for Democrats to mount a forceful response. Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, and a Democratic candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives, joins us on that need for forceful urgency. Then, while Friday marks the day that the January 6 committee has interviewed more than 970 witnesses in connection with the Capitol insurrection, on this same day Rudy Giuliani bailed at the last minute before appearing before the committee. Jason Johnson and our panel of experts discuss. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade cites a 17th century misogynist--multiple times. Plus, we discuss a new report this week that confirmed that two social media companies -- Facebook and Parler -- gave advance warning to government officials of the potential for violence at the Capitol on January 6th. And, Tuesday night's primary election in Ohio was a glaring example of how the Republican Party has been co-opted by MAGA extremists. Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Finally, First Lady Jill Biden is traveling to Eastern Europe this weekend, where on Mother's Day she will head to a refugee checkpoint on Slovakia's eastern border with Ukraine. Before leaving on her trip, she gave an exclusive interview to Joy's new colleague Symone Sanders, which will air in full this Saturday, May 7th, at 4 pm ET during the premiere of SYMONE on MSNBC. Symone Sanders joins us on her debt. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut sounding the alarm about the Supreme Court being poised to overturn Roe v. Wade according to a leaked draft opinion published by Politico. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito authored the draft of this ruling, which rests on the argument that, "The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected" -- taking us back to the time of the Founding Fathers, when women were considered barely more than the property of their fathers and husbands. Rep. Barbara Lee, Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and more expert guests join Joy on what is next in the fight to preserve abortion access. We also take you live to Vice President Kamala Harris giving a speech at a gala hosted by the pro-choice group Emily’s List, where she calls on abortion rights supporters to join this battle. Plus, the polls have closed in Ohio. Steve Kornacki, MSNBC national political correspondent, joins us with an analysis of critical primaries there. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the defense of democracy at home and abroad. Over the weekend, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, promising that the U.S. would support Ukraine “until the fight is done.” Here at home at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C., we heard similarly strong messages from President Biden and host Trevor Noah, who shared comedic and urgent takes on stepping up to save democracy in America. Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Plus, Republicans know that if President Biden and the Democrats actually do something about student debt, it could activate young and progressive voters, who overwhelmingly prefer Democrats when they vote. Sen. Elizabeth Warren joins Joy on why it is so important to institute a significant form of student debt forgiveness now. Then, New York Times reporter Nicholas Confessore is out with an exhaustive investigation of Tucker Carlson's life, career and FOX news show. Confessore has viewed more than eleven-hundred episodes of Carlson's program. He joins Joy Reid on his reporting. And, just before last year's 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, the three remaining survivors testified about what they had endured. Today a Tulsa judge heard arguments in a reparations lawsuit filed by those survivors and ruled that a trial can go forward, denying a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the observation that Republicans seem to agree 100 percent that they are all in on getting it right, if and when they repeat a coup against our democracy. This is the warning from retired conservative federal judge, J. Michael Luttig. Laurence Tribe, the Carl M. Loeb University professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, joins Joy Reid to express his agreement. And, Russian forces struck in the heart of Kyiv on Thursday as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres wrapped up a meeting with President Zelenskyy. Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman joins Joy Reid to discuss this and more. Plus, yesterday the Oklahoma legislature advanced two bills modeled after the Texas anti-abortion "bounty hunter" law. Paola Ramos, VICE News host and MSNBC contributor, joins us with her analysis. Finally, Joy Reid and her guests mark that it has been 30 years since the LA riots. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy leads this episode of The ReidOut with a question that has been bothering her increasingly over the last few years--has America become ungovernable? Lawrence O'Donnell, host of "The Last Word" on MSNBC, joins us with his powerful analysis. Joy Reid also commemorates Yom Hashoah, the internationally recognized holocaust remembrance day set aside to memorialize the approximately six million Jews murdered by Nazi Germany and their collaborators. It is a day meant to reflect on the unspeakable atrocities and horrors of World War II, while being a stark warning to the world to never let it happen again. And yet, here we are--this time, Russian troops are murdering Ukrainians in an attempt to erase their history, culture and identity. Joy Reid and her guests discuss America intervening to support a fellow democracy, despite some vocal GOP opposition. Plus, for anyone who needs a reminder, here is what Marjorie Taylor Greene texted to Mark Meadows: "In our private chat with members, several are saying the only way to save our republic is for Trump to call for 'Marshall' law," her misspelling. Rep. Eric Swalwell joins Joy Reid with the latest on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and related coup probes. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the late former U.S. Sec. of State Madeleine Albright being remembered on Wednesday as a champion of democracy, a message that could not be more relevant today. Joy and her guests discuss the latest reports detailing the efforts of leading Republicans to overturn the 2020 election and undermine our democracy. Plus, Russia and the United States carried out an unexpected prisoner exchange also on Wednesday, trading an American Marine veteran jailed by Moscow for a convicted Russian drug trafficker serving a prison sentence in the U.S. Bill Richardson, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former governor of New Mexico, traveled to Moscow in the hours before the Ukraine war in hopes of securing this Marine veteran's release. Richardson also joins The ReidOut to discuss. Finally, Ron DeSantis tries to position himself as a competent MAGA warrior, but his battle with Disney over its opposition to his "Don't Say Gay" law appears to be rather incompetent. Rep. Val Demings, who is running for U.S. Senate for the state of Florida, joins Joy on how this battle will ultimately hurt Floridians. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with the new audio revealing that Kevin McCarthy believed his GOP colleagues' rhetoric was "putting people in danger." Former U.S. senator for Alabama Doug Jones joins us to discuss. Plus, we unpack how as Elon Musk's deal to take over Twitter is being finalized, the end result is more than just control of a social media platform. Next, we bring you details on Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin making a strong show of support for Ukraine. In Europe, he met with his counterparts to discuss Ukraine's security, and Germany's defense minister announced that, in a huge shift for them, Germany will supply Ukraine with heavy weaponry. Finally, Joy Reid decries GOP Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky parroting Vladimir Putin's propaganda on Tuesday. Charles Booker, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate for Kentucky, joins The ReidOut on the importance of his candidacy. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Then Joy and her guests discuss the 2,300 text messages, as reported by CNN, sent and received by Donald Trump's White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows between Election Day 2020 and President Biden's inauguration--including an apparently incriminating text from Marjorie Taylor Greene. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with what many see as more proof of the idiocy and sycophancy of the Republican Party led by Kevin McCarthy, whose apparent plot to become House speaker comes with a new twist. Plus, despite Russian claims of a scaled back military offensive in Ukraine, we explore new indications today that Russia's goals are wider than previously indicated. Then, we analyze the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene was forced to testify in Georgia state court on Friday in a legal challenge to her candidacy. The plaintiffs accuse her of violating the Constitution by inciting violence because of her incendiary comments rallying political terrorists to the Capitol on January 6th. Rep. Adam Schiff, member of the House select committee on the Jan. 6 attack, and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, grants us his important perspective. Finally, 16 people were arrested earlier this month after forming a human chain, blocking West Virginia's Grant Town Power Plant, protesting the money that Sen. Joe Manchin has made off of the plant, while local West Virginians suffer the toxic consequences. Joy commemorates their action as we celebrate Earth Day. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this episode of The ReidOut, Joy Reid slams the decision of a Donald Trump-appointed judge whose ruling just voided the mask mandate on planes. Her decision ignores or distorts the opinion of most medical experts and raises the danger of a surge in Covid-19 cases. But first, Joy and her guests analyze the second phase of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which is now fully underway. Plus on Tuesday, we learned how deeply entrenched the Oath Keepers were with the twice-impeached president's allies. We bring you the latest developments. Additionally, we question the fixation many in the GOP have on the Disney company--and some of its characters. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut commemorating that the world is five full weeks into Vladimir Putin's horrific war in Ukraine that is targeting civilians, killing 148 children so far, according to Ukraine's defense ministry. Joy Reid and her panel discuss what it could take to make Putin realize that he cannot achieve any of his goals by continuing this inhumane assault. Next, on Thursday Jared Kushner met virtually with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Chairman Bennie Thompson told reporters that the committee has no evidence that Donald Trump's son-in-law was involved in the planning of the events of Jan. 6, and has not sought to obtain his email or phone records. Rep. Eric Swalwell joins us to discuss. Plus, if you watched the Supreme Court nomination hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, you are probably not surprised that Sen. Lindsey Graham, who snarled and barked through the entire four-day proceeding, announced today that he will not vote to confirm her. Joy and her guest explain Graham's hypocritical treatment of Judge Jackson. Then, we turn to the slap that rocked Hollywood. We have newly received a first hand account from the producer in charge of Sunday's Academy Awards broadcast, and more details from additional sources. Finally, Joy Reid brings you an exciting preview of her exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, coming up this Friday night. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the intense skepticism over Russia's pledge to scale back military operations in Kyiv. Despite their rhetoric during peace talks in Turkey, the shelling has continued. Next, we discuss a Russian TV host saying on Tuesday that Americans should change the regime in the U.S before its term expires, and to again help their "partner" Donald Trump to become president. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman joins Joy on the former president's apparent continued affinity with Russia and Vladimir Putin. Plus, our guests analyze Rep. Madison Cawthorn's allegations of cocaine use and orgies among his peers in Congress, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's outrage over these statements, while having no apparent problem with some members of his caucus attending White nationalist rallies. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with The Washington Post reporting on Tuesday, that "internal White House records from January sixth show a gap in Trump’s phone records of seven hours and 37 minutes, including the period when the Capitol was being violently assaulted." Joy Reid and her panel discuss. Next we turn to Ukraine, where Russia's deputy defense minister has announced that the Kremlin would sharply reduce its military activity near Kyiv and Chernihiv. A White House official tells NBC News that the U.S. is seeing the movement of Russian troops away from the capital city. Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, joins Joy Reid with her analysis. Plus, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is solidifying his status as America's worst governor. On Monday, flanked by schoolchildren, he signed into law the "Parents Rights in Education" bill, better known by opponents as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which would prohibit discussion of gender or sexual orientation in primary schools. Our guests detail the harm this bill will do, and the lack of support it has statewide. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with the fight to save democracy at home and abroad leading up to the moment in Washington, DC, when the House Select Committee on January 6th met to hold two aides to the former president in contempt of Congress. But first, Joy and her panel discuss the battle to defend democracy that continues in Ukraine, five weeks into Vladimir Putin's invasion. Ukraine's counteroffensive continues to hold the line, amid fresh concerns about the Russian dictator's endgame. There is new evidence of Russian brutality on the outskirts of Kyiv, even as a senior U.S. Defense official said Russia is making no progress in its advance on the capital. A top Ukrainian official says Russia is aiming to split the country in two, like North and South Korea. Yet in the north, Ukrainian forces appear to have notched a significant victory on Monday.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with one of the most high-stakes presidential trips in recent memory. President Joe Biden is embarking on an emergency mission to Europe, meeting with NATO leaders in Brussels, and then heading to Poland--a country on the front lines of the humanitarian and military crisis in Ukraine. It is perhaps the most important moment in Biden's presidency so far, a moment that will punctuate world history for decades to come. Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, joins The ReidOut to discuss. Next we turn to Ginni Thomas, who has been a steadfast advocate and defender of her husband, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, since his contentious confirmation hearing in 1991, when he faced credible allegations of sexual harassment of Anita Hill and other women. The bombshell revelation from The Washington Post and CBS that she sent 29 text messages to Donald Trump's chief-of-staff Mark Meadows promoting QAnon conspiracy theories to justify overturning the 2020 election, has now cast yet another shadow over Thomas and the supposed "impartiality" he claims to espouse on the bench. Joy Reid and our legal experts analyze these developments. Joy also critiques U.S. Senator Josh Hawley. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the unified display of solidarity in Brussels, where Western leaders stood shoulder to shoulder in an extraordinary series of summits hosted by NATO, the Group of Seven industrialized nations, and the European Union. Western leaders continue to roll out a series of measures to increase the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin, while avoiding steps that could lead to a wider war on the continent. Joy Reid and her panel discuss what could happen if Putin escalates his war against Ukraine with chemical weapons. Next we turn to the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, which have concluded. Through it all, Judge Jackson remained poised with a graceful temperament. U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono joins us with her commentary on her own questions for Judge Jackson, and more. Plus, we end with a Moment of Joy, featuring a seven-year-old Ukrainian girl who has inspired a multitude with her voice, even as a refugee. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut as the Senate wraps up a third day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Republicans focused on dog whistle politics and offensive, false insinuations about her record, with Lindsey Graham and others resorting to interrupting, mansplaining and outright bullying. Through it all, Judge Jackson showed patience and resolve in defending her record. But before Joy covers this, we bring you news of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s humiliation on the battlefield, as Russia's war on Ukraine almost enters its second month. NATO now estimates that seven-to-fifteen-thousand Russian troops have been killed in Ukraine, according to a NATO official who spoke to NBC News. Including the Russian troops who have been injured, captured or gone missing, the number could be as high as 30-to-40-thousand total impacted. Russian forces continue to be repelled by Ukraine’s nimble fighting force, which has repeatedly managed to outmaneuver them despite being outnumbered and outgunned. Zhan Belenuke, Member of Ukrainian Parliament and an Olympic gold medalist, joins Joy Reid to discuss. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with President Biden declaring that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. Oleksandra Ustinova, a member of Ukrainian Parliament, joins us and says about Putin, "If you don't stop him now in Ukraine, he will go further." Rep.

Starr also explains his experiences getting families out of Ukraine as Russia bombards major cities ahead of an expected ground assault. Finally, Rep. Ilhan Omar shares her perspective on the Ukrainian refugee crisis, as one of the few members of Congress who fled war as a child. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Next, we bring you the latest on the Enrique Tarrio case, after a federal magistrate judge in Miami has ordered Tarrio to be held before trial after he was indicted on charges in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Finally, Joy Reid and her expert panel discuss Vladimir Putin reportedly using a shadowy mercenary group in Ukraine. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Chef Ievgen Klopotenko, winner of Master Chef Ukraine, joins us on doing what Joy Reid calls "God's work of trying to feed people" as Russia continues to invade his nation. Next, we discuss the fact that Ukrainian refugees consist of so many women and children, and the special precautions needed to protect them as millions flee into the nations surrounding Ukraine. Finally, Joy Reid is joined by David Corn and Malcolm Nance on Corn's reporting stating that the Kremlin has sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: to use more of Tucker Carlson of Fox News. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with news of Vladimir Putin’s army advancing toward Kyiv, and apparently doubling down on taking the capital of Ukraine by opening up new fronts overnight. Next, we discuss President Biden calling for the U.S. to revoke Russia's “most favored nation” status, which would downgrade Russia as a trading partner and open the door to damaging new tariffs on Moscow. Then we examine the two things we have learned about Donald Trump from his campaign and his administration. First, is his strange and solicitous admiration for Vladimir Putin, which is well-documented, and second is his apparent obsession with weakening Ukraine. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch -- who was fired by Donald Trump and testified during his first impeachment proceedings -- joins Joy Reid with her analysis. Finally, Chef José Andrés joins us from Ukraine on partnering with local restaurants and caterers in the region to get food and supplies to cities under siege.

We also analyze how Russians are leaving their own homeland before the new Iron Curtain fully descends on Russia due to Putin's war. We next turn to Western nations warning that Putin appears ready to commit new and even more horrific atrocities in Ukraine. Yesterday, the White House raised the possibility that Russia could soon use chemical or biological weapons in violation of international law. Finally, we report on the effort to house the millions of Ukrainians who have become refugees, with over 1.4 million having crossed into Poland alone. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

The Pentagon explained Wednesday why the U.S does not support the Polish plan to transfer fighter jets to Ukraine, as Vice President Kamala Harris landed in Warsaw for the first leg of her trip to meet with regional allies. Zhan Beleniuk, the sole Black MP in the Ukrainian Parliament and a 2020 Olympic gold medalist, and his fellow MP Oleksandra Ustinova join us to discuss.

Next, amid historic sanctions against Russia, concern is growing for Americans detained in Russia, including WNBA superstar Brittney Griner. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee discusses calling on the Russian government to release Griner and other detained Americans. Finally, Joy brings you a story produced by NBC News on professional ballet dancers in Ukraine joining the frontlines against Putin's invasion, swapping their ballet shoes for Kalashnikovs. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Ukraine still fighting for its freedom, nearly two weeks into Russia's unprovoked act of aggression. Then, we discuss how President Biden announced on Tuesday that the United States will ban all Russian oil imports, a move that will come at a severe cost to Russians and have ramifications in America as well. Rep. David Cicilline joins The ReidOut on this bold move. Plus, Vladimir Putin is flattening and destroying entire cities in Ukraine the way his army did in Syria, and further escalating a humanitarian crisis that has left tens of thousands of people without food, water, power or heat. Joy and her panel attempt to assess what Putin could be thinking, and what could happen next as Russia's attacks continue. And despite the brave images, the fact is, we are witnessing a spiraling tragedy. The UN says that more than two million Ukrainians have become refugees since Putin began his invasion, with more than one million crossing the border into Poland alone. We take you to the Ukrainian-Polish border where both hope and fear permeate the air as Ukrainian refugees struggle to find new footing after fleeing Putin's bombs. Listen now as Joy Reid leads this important edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Tiffany Cross sits in for Joy Reid for this episode of The ReidOut. We begin covering the situation in Ukraine, where it is increasingly dire as Russian forces continue their invasion from the north, east, and south. Former double agent Naveed Jamali joins us with his analysis. Then we turn our attention to the shocking news that Russian forces have seized the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, located in southern Ukraine. Tiffany and her panel discuss how the world narrowly escaped a nuclear catastrophe last night. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has called for "normalized" international relations -- in other words a lifting of the sanctions -- while claiming that he has "no bad intentions towards our neighbors," and that Russia's aggression is "exclusively in response to unfriendly actions." Despite this, Putin has shown zero signs of stopping his invasion. Finally, we end with a bright example of the human spirit, which continues to shine among the Ukrainian people, in this instance from a refugee camp in Romania. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with the humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying directly to Vladimir Putin, "Sit down with me.

NBC's Keir Simmons has the latest developments. Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy calls out Tucker Carlson's racist idea that President Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, needs to have her LSAT score checked, when actual legal experts all agree she is eminently qualified. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Chrissy Houlahan, who is of Ukrainian descent, tells Joy that despite what looks like a botched invasion on Putin's part, "We should not underestimate the Russian military."

Then, we completely debunk the viral lie suggesting that Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were president.

Then, we explore the impact of international sanctions on Russia, which came into focus Wednesday night as its stock market lost nearly 50 percent of its value, making it one of the biggest single-day market collapses in history.

Joy and her panel discuss.

Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy Reid examines how if Roe v. Wade is overturned or severely weakened, 21 states have laws or constitutional amendments in place to ban abortion as quickly as possible. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy Reid examines the conservative "manosphere," where there is no shortage of whining about the lack of macho men in our country. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
This month, MSNBC’s Into America podcast is celebrating Black history through a special series called ‘Reconstructed’: a deep dive into the Reconstruction era and how its legacy continues to shape us today. Part one, ‘Birth of a Black Nation,’ tells the story of Robert Smalls: born into slavery and later elected to Congress. It’s a look at how Black Americans began to gain political power, and how the fight for full access to the franchise continues today. Listen to the full series here.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that the Jan. 6 select committee heard from Stewart Rhodes, the head of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, today. Joy and her panel discuss whether the Department of Justice is doing enough to bring indictments for the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and attempts to overturn the election. Next, we are joined by Coach Hue Jackson, head coach at Grambling State University and former NFL head coach for the Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders, on his allegations regarding the NFL, revealed after former Dolphins coach Brian Flores filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and the New York Giants. Then, we discuss how ABC News suspended Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks from The View a day after a discussion about a Tennessee school board banning the graphic novel "Maus," which is about Nazi death camps during World War II. Goldberg has apologized for saying The Holocaust was not about race, but "about man's inhumanity to man." Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy decries the fact that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his supporters are leading an assault on so-called corporate wokeness, critical race theory, and more in bills marching through the committee process. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with The New York Times reporting on the efforts by Donald Trump and his advisors to use the authority of the federal government to seize voting machines after the 2020 election. Next, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy explains the breaking news that a Pfizer vaccine for children could be ready by the end of February. Then, Marilyn Mosby, State's Attorney for Baltimore City, joins Joy Reid to discuss being accused by the Justice Department of financial crimes, while facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted--the same Justice Department that seems to be awfully slow when it comes to the former president, Donald Trump. Mosby says that she is completely innocent and that the timing of these charges is meant to influence her re-election efforts after a career spent holding law enforcement accountable. Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy Reid lambastes the Republicans who are making disingenuous and racist attacks to malign whomever President Biden's Black woman Supreme Court nominee may be. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this bonus episode for The Reid Out listeners, Joy Reid joins Trymaine Lee on Into America.
Growing up, Joy Reid loved to watch the news with her mother – and even remembers staying up late to watch coverage of the Iran Hostage Crisis as a middle schooler. Along the course of her career, Joy’s worked in local news, as a press secretary for the 2008 Obama campaign, and written books on American politics.
And she recently became the host of a new primetime show on MSNBC: The ReidOut, which premiered last month. More than 2.5 million people tuned in.
This is Joy’s third show for MSNBC. She previously hosted an afternoon show called The Reid Report and AM Joy, which aired on weekends. With The ReidOut, Joy is now the first Black woman to host a national primetime news show since PBS NewsHour’s Gwen Ifill died in 2016, and the first Black woman to anchor a primetime network show in the history of cable TV.
On Into America, Reid tells Trymaine Lee what led to this moment, and how she plans to make the most of it. For more from Into America, visit the feed and subscribe.
