Summary

Joy leads this episode of The ReidOut with breaking news that the Republican party finally elected a new House speaker Wednesday, 22 days after Kevin McCarthy was deposed. Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana is a leading 2020 election denier, right-wing religious ideologue, and America’s newest speaker of the House of Representatives. Also, Joy and her legal experts discuss the contentious second day in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial, with Trump and Michael Cohen meeting face-to-face for the first time since Cohen cut a deal with federal prosecutors in the hush money case. Then, Officer Harry Dunn sits down with Joy to discuss his new book and why accountability is critically important for those responsible for January 6th. Plus, Joy and her guests discuss the increasingly dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
