Michael Fanone, one of the heroes of January 6th, joins Joy with more. Also, with two weeks to go before Iowa, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are still treating the front-runner Donald Trump gently, as if they do not really want to win. Plus, Joy talks to a man who was paid by the Trump campaign to find proof of widespread election fraud in 2020. He found none and told them so, he says, adding the allegation that they continued to push the Big Lie anyway. That man, Ken Block, joins The ReidOut. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 2
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut as President Biden is set to deliver a dire, new warning about Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Trump on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to keep him on the ballot in Colorado. Also in this episode, the outrage following the resignation of Dr. Claudine Gay at Harvard is seen by experts as the result of rightwing attacks on DEI, women, people of color, and academia. Khalil Gibran Muhammad, director of the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project at Harvard Kennedy School, joins Joy with more. Plus, yet another Biden administration official has just announced his resignation over the administration's policies regarding Gaza. That official, Tariq Habash joins Joy in his first interview. All ths and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 3
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with President Biden's powerful new ad on the Trump threat to democracy amid new polling that shows a shocking number of Americans do not believe what they saw with their own eyes on January 6th. Plus, two new challenges to Trump's place on the ballot arise, this time in Florida and Illinois, as a deadline looms for the U.S. Supreme court to decide on his disqualification in Colorado. Also in this episode, we bring you the scandal that the Republican-led Oversight Committee will not be investigating: the millions of dollars Trump raked in from foreign governments while he was president, according to a new report from House Democrats. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 4
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with President Biden, who marked the anniversary of the January 6th attack on the Capitol on Friday with a scathing rebuke of the man who sparked the violence that day, and a warning that Trump remains a serious threat to democracy. Plus, we bring you breaking news from the Supreme Court on whether it will hear arguments on Trump's ballot status in Colorado--the same court that Trump's lawyer says owes him a favor. We also have three very special guests: Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Adam Schiff from the former January sixth select committee, and former Officer Harry Dunn. Dunn is planning his return to the Capitol, the place he so bravely defended on January 6th, but this time as a member of Congress. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 5
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Rep. Elise Stefanik, number four in the House Republican leadership, refusing to commit to certifying the will of the voters if Donald Trump loses, as Trump himself refuses to sign a pledge not to overthrow the government. Also in this episode, we cover President Biden, who unlike Trump supports democracy. Biden took his message to Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston amid growing concerns about his standing with Black voters. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 6
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with footage that shows that Mitch McConnell knew, back in 2021, that Trump can face criminal charges. Now, Trump's lawyer is making the absurd argument that a president can commit all kinds of heinous crimes, and remain immune from prosecution forever, unless he's impeached and convicted. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) joins Joy Reid with his analysis. Also in this episode, Trump's rhetoric is having dangerous consequences, as both special counsel Jack Smith and Judge Tanya Chutkan are targets of "swatting." Next, Trump's big hope for 2024? He says he hopes the U.S. economy crashes sometime soon, which, of course, would likely leave huge numbers of his supporters broke. All this and more in this edition of The Reidout on MSNBC.
Episode 7
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with breaking news from the presidential race. Donald Trump's most persistent critic on the campaign trail, Chris Christie, has announced that he is dropping out of 2024. Also in this episode, we examine how Trump has often claimed to have unlimited power as president. Now, his pitch for "absolute power" and his claims of immunity from any legal consequences should be setting off alarm bells. Yet, all we are hearing from Republicans are the sounds of silence. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 8
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with breaking news. The U.S. and British military have launched strikes against targets in Houthis-controlled Yemen, according to two U.S. officials. This comes after the Iranian-backed militant group has launched a series of attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, which has stoked fears of a wider conflict in the region already reeling from the Israel-Hamas war. Next, we bring you U.S. news involving Donald Trump. Trump was allowed five minutes to speak in court in his New York civil fraud trial on Thursday, then went on a fact-free rant bashing New York's attorney general. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 10
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis claiming small victories in the Iowa caucuses, even though they each got walloped by the inevitable nominee--Donald Trump. Also in this episode, Democratic Michigan Governor and Biden campaign co-chair, Gretchen Whitmer, joins Joy to discuss the Democrats' view of the Republican race and whether President Biden has a "Michigan problem." Plus, Joy takes on the war on Dr. King's memory, as there is more to his legacy than just that one speech that Republicans often misuse for their own political aims. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 11
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Ted Cruz's endorsement of Donald Trump for president--the same Trump who ridiculed the looks of his wife and accused his father of killing JFK. Cruz is just one of many Republicans, whom Joy calls "cowardly," who have signed on to Trump's authoritarian revenge tour, at the mere price of their dignity. Also in this episode, Joy examines the alarming parallels between President Biden and Lyndon Johnson as each man faced re-election, including their roles in two very unpopular conflicts. Plus, we expose the possible Supreme Court reversal of a 1984 decision that created something called the "Chevron deference," which enshrines government powers to regulate industries, as a key case is argued now before the Supreme Court. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 12
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Donald Trump bragging again about acing a dementia test, meanwhile claiming that presidents should have full immunity for any crimes they might want to commit. Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder joins Joy on that, and on a big victory in Louisiana where a new legislative map, with two majority-Black districts, is advancing in the state legislature. Next, with a border deal on the table, which Senate Republicans say is a great deal, Trump's MAGA caucus in the House is saying no, because they want to continue to stoke fear ahead of the fall election. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 13
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice joins Joy Reid on Moms for Liberty seeking influence over public school library content and more. "We're talking about a public school library," Justice tells Joy of what many call the resultant, de facto book bans. "Children don't have unfettered access to the internet at school." Next, their conversation is discussed by MSNBC's Ali Velshi and Susan Del Percio. "It's disingenuous to call it all about sex," Velshi tells Joy of the true motives behind the de facto bans. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 14
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Ron DeSantis suspending his presidential campaign and endorsing Donald Trump, putting an end to one of the biggest campaign failures in political history. Joy's guests lambaste how DeSantis is leaving behind a trail of destructive policies in Florida that he and his obedient Republican legislature shoved down the throats of Floridians, all to advance his personal political ambitions. Meanwhile, Trump is lobbing racially charged attacks on Nikki Haley, who is now the only non-insurrectionist left in the Republican race. Plus, we examine how the abortion issue continues to haunt Republicans on this, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision enshrining women's bodily autonomy, which was killed by Republicans. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 15
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Nikki Haley pressing on despite basically impossible odds. Yet, our expert guests say that this is not a hard decision, because she has the support of the billionaire donor class who want all the Trump tax cuts for the super rich, but cannot stomach Donald Trump. Plus, with Joe Biden's economy doing so well, all Republicans have left to offer is fear, including fear of migrants. Tonight, we look at how the issue is playing in the Latino community. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 16
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with yet another Trump associate who is heading to prison, and apparently broke, humiliated and begging for money. Former Donald Trump advisor Peter Navarro has been sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress after refusing to testify before the House Jan. 6 select committee. Joy and her panel discuss. Plus, the Republican frontrunner himself, Donald Trump, was on the witness stand on Thursday, for all of three minutes, in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. Could she be awarded $100 million? We also draw attention to the horrifying post-Roe consequences--nearly 65,000 pregnancies from rape in the 14 states with abortion bans. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 17
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the dramatic breaking news out of a New York City courtroom that has likely put a damper on Donald Trump's weekend. A nine member jury has reached its verdict in Trump's second defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. With the unanimous verdict Donald Trump is on the hook for just over $83 million dollars in damages. The question remains, is the amount high enough to keep Trump from continuing his attacks against E. Jean Carroll, or will we be back in a court room again for a third defamation trial? Joy and her expert guests analyze this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 18
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut asking us to commemorate that it has been 63 years since President Eisenhower's farewell speech, as those words come back to haunt us with fears growing of a regional war in the Middle East. This after three U.S. troops were killed in an attack on a base in Jordan, with the White House blaming "Iran-backed militant groups." Plus, E. Jean Carroll spoke out for the first time since the $83 million verdict against Donald Trump. Trump reportedly does not pay his lawyers, so how likely is Ms. Carroll to ever to see that money? Next, infrastructure, chips and science are among President Biden's biggest accomplishments. Now Republicans are shamelessly trying to take credit for policies they voted against. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) joins Joy with more. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 19
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with many on the right being in full meltdown over celebrity "it" couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

Also in this episode, we bring you a new investigation that reveals that prison labor is behind some of the most popular food products that make their way to your dinner table. Plus, President Biden says that he has decided on a response to the deaths of three U.S. soldiers in Jordan. The parents of one of those soldiers, Sergeant Breonna Moffett, joins Joy on this and more. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 20
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with one of the many times former Vice President Mike Pence talked about keeping his oath, something that three former Republican governors say Donald Trump failed to do on January 6th, rendering him ineligible to run again. One of those governors, former Republican Gov. Marc Racicot of Montana, joins Joy to discuss. Also in this episode, while lacking the slightest evidence of a crime or misdemeanor, House Republicans move forward with plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, while simultaneously obstructing efforts to address the border issue. Plus, Rep. Cori Bush joins Joy on the DOJ investigation of her, and her reaction to the Republican Congressman who called her husband a "thug," and said Bush is "loud" and needs to "tone it down." All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

The mayor of Dearborn, MI, Abdullah Hammoud (D), who recently turned down a meeting with Biden's campaign, joins Joy with more. Plus, NBC News begins its new "Deciders Focus Group" series. We share the views of Pennsylvanian women who voted for Trump last time, plus what they're thinking now after Trump's Supreme Court overturned women's reproductive rights.

Episode 22
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with breaking news. The U.S. has launched new airstrikes against Iran-backed targets in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for a drone attack that killed three American soldiers. The strikes come the same day that President Biden attended the dignified transfer of the soldiers killed in the strike in Jordan that the U.S. has attributed to Iranian-backed militant groups. President Biden released a statement, saying in part: "Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing. The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: if you harm an American, we will respond." We bring you more breaking news coverage in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 23
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that Donald Trump told MAGA Republicans to do nothing about the border this year, apparently because Republicans cannot afford to give it up as an election issue. Also in this episode, we expose how Trump has managed to delay his criminal trials, something no regular citizen would be able to do. Plus, as Trump openly roots for an economic crash, Joe Biden presides over what even Trump advisors admit is a whopper of an economy. Can Democrats spread this truth?

Episode 24
Joy Reid leads this episode of The Reid out with breaking news from Captiol Hill, moments after The House failed to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by just two votes--an embarassing loss for Speaker Mike Johnson. Then we turn to the three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruling on Tuesday in its crushing legal takedown that, counter to Donald Trump's stated arguments, presidents do not have complete and absolute immunity from criminal prosecution, and thus Trump must face trial for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 25
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the historic case argued before the United States Supreme Court on Thursday. The question before the court? Can the state of Colorado keep the former president, who that state found credibly liable for inciting an insurrection, off the ballot in November. On the face of it, it seems like a pretty simple question, but it is a question that has never come before the Court, and the debate centers on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was written by Congress in 1866 and ratified in 1868. Joy Reid and her panel discuss this, plus they preview a just-announced press conference from President Joe Biden, responding to the findings of the special counsel investigation of classified documents found in his possession.
Episode 26
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with Elise Stefanik, who seem to know that going full election-denier will boost her chances to win "The Apprentice: Autocracy," season one, with the dubious prize of becoming Trump's running mate, "hang Mike Pence" threats notwithstanding. Her absurd comments capped a week of Republican embarassments which included knifing the border bill they demanded and a failed impeachment attempt. Also in this episdoe, we cover President Biden calling Israel's military response to Hamas "over the top," as Prime Minister Netanyahu signals that a ground invasion of Rafah could be imminent. Plus, the right-wing Supreme Court has been a big supporter of "states' rights" in cases involving reproductive rights and control over women's bodies, but not so much when it came time to decide whether states can kick a proven insurrectionist with the last name Trump off the ballot. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 27

Also, we cover how Trump has formally asked the Supreme Court to put a hold on last week's ruling finding that he does not have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution as he meets with his sympathetic Florida judge in his stolen classified documents case. Plus, just like "the deep state" planned it, Taylor Swift's boyfriend and a few of his friends have won the Super Bowl, as Donald Trump tries to take credit for Swift's wildly successful music career. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Episode 28
In this episode of The ReidOut, we discuss how Sen. Lindsey Graham, who once was a champion of aid to Ukraine, is now refusing to vote in support of aid for fear of angering Donald Trump. Also in this episode, if at first you cannot impeach, try try again. House Republicans take another swing at impeaching the Homeland Security secretary, after their first attempt failed in an embarrasing fashion. We bring you breaking news on this development.

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

That number will continue to grow until he pays. Engoron also ruled that Trump is barred from personally running a business in New York for the next three years. Engoron's ruling also hits the elder Trump sons, fining Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. $4 million apiece, and fining Trump's longtime business manager Allen Weisselberg $1 million dollars.

Episode 40
Episode 41
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with how Donald Trump often whines about the unfairness of the justice system.
