The ReidOut with Joy Reid MSNBC

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Attorney General Merrick Garland facing a Republican Party hell-bent on doing everything it can to push conspiracy theories and attack the rule of law in the wake of Donald Trump's felony conviction in New York. Plus, we cover President Biden making bold, and controversial, moves today on immigration and his rhetoric towards Israel. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Donald Trump apparently getting a bit desperate ahead of his sentencing -- making the ludicrous claim that he never said Hillary Clinton should be locked up. Joy reminds us, "It's on tape, Donald." Plus, Michael Cohen joins us with his reaction to Trump's guilty verdict -- and the potential of prison time. Next, we cover the far-right's continuing embrace of authoritarianism -- with politicans and commentators flocking to El Salvador to attend the inauguration of the man who calls himself, "the world's coolest dicator." It is a big warning sign for the type of government they want to run if Trump becomes president again. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with the stark contrast that was on display today, as Donald Trump lashed out about his 34 felony convictions, while President Joe Biden defended the American justice system. Plus, we cover the unhinged Republican response to the verdict, as prominent GOP leaders apparently want to tear the whole system down and punish everyone involved. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with how for the first time in American history, a jury is deciding whether a former president committed felonies. Plus we discuss how, after deliberations began, the jury made several requests to the judge. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his defenders are bracing for the verdict by attacking the judge, lying about the jury instructions, and increasingly portraying Trump as a martyr. Plus, new reporting on Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's insurrectionist flags show that he is now throwing his wife even further under the bus, and refusing to recuse from Trump cases, earning a pat on the head from Trump himself. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the closing arguments in the historic first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, Donald Trump. The prosecution argues that the case comes down to three things that they claim to have proven -- that there were in fact false business records, that the false business records were intended to cover up a conspiracy related to the 2016 election, and that Donald Trump was personally involved. As expected, the defense focused heavily on Michael Cohen’s credibility in their closing arguments. We also cover the global condemnation, which is at a fever pitch, after an Israeli airstrike hit a camp for displaced civilians in Rafah. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
