Plus, Ron desantis is not backing down from his support for teaching children that slavery was not only not bad--it was an awesome job skills program! Also in this episode, judging by Donald Trump's social media, he may apparently believe another indictment is imminent. We have new information on when that indictment might be handed down. We also condemn Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border cruelty including allegations of pushing migrants into the water, and defiance of a Justice Department order to remove dangerous barriers in the Rio Grande.
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. Plus we spotlight Rev. Wheeler Parker, Jr., who just honored his late cousin Emmett Till, alongside President Biden and Vice President Harris, on what would have been Till's 82nd birthday. Meanwhile, the right-wing continues to vandalize the history of Black people in America. Also in this episode, Joy and her guests examine how Donald Trump appears to be planming for his next indictment by making threats of violence, experts say, with special counsel Jack Smith reportedly interested in Donald Trump's sudden change of heart about election security in 2020. Finally, we analyze the trailing Republican presidential field, which is failing at defeating the leading indicted candidate in Trump.
Joy Reid leads this airing of The ReidOut tonight the two portrayals of Donald Trump during his life as a public figure, as the reportedly imminent indictment related to his involvement in Jan. 6 from the office of the special counsel looms. 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. Additionally, Rudy Giuliani has admitted to lying about two Georgia election workers, conceding that he made "false" statements about them. 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.
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.
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.

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.

Finally, we spotlight the controversy of Samuel Alito saying Congress has no business imposing ethics rules on the Supreme Court. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse joins Joy on the effort to stop him and Clarence Thomas from accepting fancy gifts from their wealthy associates.
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 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 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 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. Then, Soumya Dayananda, former Senior Investigative Counsel for the Jan. 6 Committee, joins Joy with her thoughts on Trump's third indictment on 2020 election interference charges linked to Jan. 6.

We bring you critical analysis on this important issue. Finally, our new digital series on our ReidOut Blog, 'Hip-Hop is Universal,' celebrating the 50th anniversary of this revolutionary art form, debuts today!

Plus, polls are closing in Ohio in the special election designed to limit democracy and give Republicans minority control over critical issues like abortion. We bring you the latest. Next, we highlight the brawl on an Alabama dock that launched a thousand memes. Why is this fight resonating so much? The mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, Steven Reed, joins us with an update.
Monique Worrell was elected state attorney by the voters of Florida. Now Ron DeSantis is using his authoritarian powers to remove her from office basically because he can, critics say. State Attorney Worrell joins Joy in this episode. Also, there are reportedly new details on a possible fourth indictment against Donald Trump in Georgia, which could come in a matter of days, including what Fani Willis could charge him with, plus who his co-defendants might be. Plus, there was another big win for democracy, as a proposed constitutional change in Ohio, meant to thwart the will of the public on abortion and other major issues, lost by a mile.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what is apparently Donald Trump's emerging defense, that the lawyers allegedly said he could do it, and what it tells us about the emerging crisis of lawyering in America.

Al Sharpton discusses his exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the possible scenario that Donald Trump could be declared the winner of the 2024 election. But, what if Democrats in key states then object to certifying his electors based on the Fourteenth Amendment? Our legal expert has more. Plus, Donald Trump claimed earlier this week that no one is going to stop him from speaking about his criminal case. Yet, on Friday, Judge Tanya Chutkin laid down the law, telling Trump's lawyer that Trump's words will have consequences, and that the First Amendment is not absolute. Also, Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. Meanwhile, Republicans are complaining about it after spending months demanding exactly this.
In this episode of The ReidOut we discuss the fourth indictment of Donald Trump, minutes before it was handed down, this time for election interference in Georgia. Also in this episode, Judge Tanya Chutkan warned Trump against making inflammatory statements, which he proceeded to ignore. What, if anything, will be done about it? Plus, Trump still appears to be the Republican party's inevitable nominee. His dominance over DeSantis and the rest of the Republican field was on full display this weekend in Iowa.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Donald Trump drawing his fourth indictment. That is four more indictments than any prior president of the United States has ever faced. Plus, we cover the apparent irony of how Rudy Giuliani, who put dozens of mobsters behind bars using RICO, is now indicted under a similar RICO statute along with Donald Trump in Georgia. Indicted with them is former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who could face the same fate as Nixon's chief of staff, Bob Haldeman, who went to prison for helping to carry out his boss' crimes. With Trump now facing 91 felony counts, most of his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination still cannot muster the courage to condemn him.

Our guests join us to explain why the RICO statute in Georgia is fitting for the crimes Donald Trump and his alleged co-conspirators have been charged with in the state of Georgia.

Also, Morgan Freeman joined Joy to talk about his new documentary on the first Black tank battalion to fight in World War II.

He is a Florida Proud Boy convicted of seven felony counts for his actions on January 6th, including physically attacking police officers and pepper spraying them. Meanwhile, Trump supporters are doubling and tripling down on the election lies that likely made Trump an accused felon. Also in this episode, we examine what many see as the rise and fall of Trump co-defendant Rudy Giuliani. Now reports say he is begging Trump for help to pay his mounting legal bills.

Meanwhile, the usual supporters are rushing to Trump's defense, vowing to investigate the investigators, and threatening civil war.

Florida St. Rep. Angie Nixon, who stood next to DeSantis at that vigil resulting in a powerful photo, joins Joy Reid to discuss. Also, Vivek Ramaswamy has called Rep. Ayanna Pressley and author Ibram X. Kendi "modern grand wizards of the modern KKK." Both of these esteemed people, who were maligned by the 2024 presidential candidate, speak out on his attacks with Joy Reid.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut noticing that since Donald Trump came along in 2016, leading Republicans insist that because of him, Republicanism is booming among Black people, despite there being no evidence of that.

Plus, we cover how Tennessee St. Rep. Justin Jones has again been silenced by Tennessee House GOP leaders for passionately fighting for gun reform after a mass murder at a Nashville school. St. Rep. Jones joins Joy to speak out.

Plus, Colorado voters have filed a lawsuit to keep Donald Trump off the ballot raising the question: Can the 14th amendment truly bar him from becoming president again?
In this episode of The ReidOut, we get our first look at the Fulton County special grand jury report. They apparently believed that far more than the 19 alleged co-conspirators in the Georgia election interference case should have been criminally charged, including Senator Lindsey Graham. Also in this episode, it's called "Project 2025"--and it's a revealing and horrifying look at what many leading entities on the right have in store for America should Donald Trump return to the White House.
In this episode of The ReidOut we discuss how even some conservative people in Congress know it is nonsensical that Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene are pushing to impeach President Biden before even establishing the smallest hint of wrongdoing.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Donald Trump making an extremely bizarre pitch to win over women voters, claiming that the adjudicated rapist will be their protector, just like he "protected" E. Jean Carroll, his three wives he cheated on, and the random women he grabs because, as he famously said, when you are a celebrity, "They let you do it."

Joy Reid leads this coverage of the inauguration of Donald Trump, as Trump signs a series of executive orders at the Capital One Arena in Washington, and pardons January 6 defendants. This moment marked yet another significant development in his political journey, leaving many to debate whether it represents a new beginning or the beginning of the end. Earlier in the day, Trump made his entrance in a highly anticipated and historic event that reflected the uniqueness of this political era. Unlike previous presidential inaugurations, today's ceremony was held indoors due to chilly weather, a decision that some compared to similar conditions during President Obama's first inauguration in 2009. However, speculation suggests the move indoors may have stemmed from other concerns beyond the weather. Regardless of interpretation, today stands as a pivotal moment in American political history.
Tonight, Joy Reid leads this episode with Donald Trump's efforts to reshape the federal workforce through Project 2025. The program's architect, Russell Vought, has openly stated his goal of creating a "traumatically affected" environment for federal employees. This comes as Trump's allies, Enrique Tarrio and Elmer Stewart Rhodes, have regained their freedom, with Tarrio demanding retribution on Alex Jones' show and Rhodes revisiting Capitol Hill to meet his Republican backers. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for a federal government dominated by white men, beginning with the repeal of Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Executive Order 11246, which prohibited discrimination by federal contractors. His replacement executive order, signed Tuesday, has already placed diversity, equity, and inclusion employees on paid leave. With grievances about diversity hires fueling these drastic changes, Trump's vision for America becomes increasingly clear.
Donald Trump's first week in office has been nothing short of exhausting. In just five days, he has signed dozens of executive orders, including pardons for over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th attack on the Capitol and commutations for Proud Boys and Oath Keepers convicted of seditious conspiracy. He has declared a national emergency at the southern border and taken aim at the constitutional right granting automatic citizenship to anyone born in the United States, a move already facing court challenges. Trump is also threatening federal workers with punishment for engaging in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Critics argue that the chaos, cruelty, and relentless pace are deliberate, exemplified by his controversial nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran, to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth faces a Senate confirmation vote tonight amid revelations that he made a $50,000 payment to a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017, disclosed during questioning by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren has also raised serious concerns about Hegseth's judgment, citing troubling incidents involving alcohol, including strip club visits and episodes of severe intoxication. She contends that his behavior renders him unfit to oversee the nation's security.
"The money that's about to flow to Trump's friends and cronies is likely going to make your head spin," Joy Reid says. "All funded by you the taxpayer, on top of you having to fund the gargantuan additional tax cut Republicans are prepping so the superrich can pay as close to zero in taxes as possible, not to mention you footing the bill with 25 percent tariffs on your Columbian coffee and anything imported from Mexico, Canada and Panama."

In the wake that controversy, which many see as fabricated by the GOP, Donald Trump's CIA has now committed what is being called a counterintelligence disaster by reportedly sending the names of recently hired CIA employees to the White House in an unclassified email. Plus, fear and outrage has errupted in the Middle East after Trump's irresponsible remarks about turning Gaza into a "Riviera" of the Middle East, permanently stealing the homes of two million Gazans.

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with Donald Trump aligning with President Elon Musk in calling for an end to USAID—the same agency that First Lady Melania Trump once praised as embodying her "Be Best" initiative and that Ivanka Trump used to launch a highly publicized program to empower women in developing countries. Less than three weeks into this new administration, we are already facing what many are calling a constitutional crisis, and it is not coming from the man elected to sit behind the Resolute Desk, but from the unelected billionaire seemingly pulling the strings—Elon Musk.
In this edition of The ReidOut, Joy Reid covers a federal judge ruling that the Trump White House has violated his order to restore frozen federal funding—raising a big what-if: What if Donald Trump simply ignored that judge and other courts that tell him his actions are illegal?

But they are still rising--and apparently he does not want to talk about it anymore.

Taxpayers footed the bill, including the cost of Air Force One and security for his entourage. We have more on what many see as the waste of this trip.

Coincidentally, McMahon's wife, Linda, is Trump's nominee for Education Secretary, and her confirmation is expected to sail through.
