Joy Reid leads this two-hour edition of The ReidOut on the eve of the Fourth of July, during a time in America when a lot of people are seeing their freedoms being taken away. To start, we examine the Supreme Court 'religious freedom' ruling being based on a hypothetical dispute, which is being questioned on its legality by critics. Then our experts discuss how, one year after Roe v. Wade's reversal, the anti-abortion front is intensifying its war on women's bodies nationwide. Plus, we bring you reporting from The Washington Post on Trump’s alleged pressure campaign toward then-Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, as Jack Smith's election interference probe continues. Finally, member of the Central Park Exonerated 5 and winner of the Democratic primary for his New York City Council race, Yusef Salaam, discusses representing “that hope we all need,” and much more in this special episode of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
