Summary

The arrest of the man who killed homeless Michael Jackson performer, Jordan Neely, on a New York City subway train, Daniel Penny, has been met with an overwhelming reaction from conservative Republicans and organizations. Joy Reid and her panel discuss how leading Republicans and conservatives apparently believe that every election cycle requires a new boogeyman. Plus, Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed legislation that would have banned nearly all abortions in his state after 12 weeks of pregnancy over the weekend. Yet, the state legislature has the power to override his veto and still enact the ban. Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina joins Joy to discuss the battle to preserve access to abortion in his region. Finally, athletes posing with guns apparently being held to a higher standard than politicians who do the same thing is called out by Joy Reid. “The perverse worship of guns, from politicians or anyone, would be condemned in a normal, healthy society,” Joy says. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

1:17.6	What is written in the law?

1:22.5	He answered, love the Lord, your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,

1:34.2	You have answered correctly, Jesus replied, do this and you will live.
1:38.8	But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, and who is my neighbor?
1:43.5	In reply, Jesus said, a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he was attacked by
1:49.9	robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
1:55.8	A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the
