Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with how in 2023 Donald Trump is now the apparent poster child for the "defund the police" movement, delegitimizing the Department of Justice, the FBI, and more. Plus we spotlight Rev. Wheeler Parker, Jr., who just honored his late cousin Emmett Till, alongside President Biden and Vice President Harris, on what would have been Till's 82nd birthday. Meanwhile, the right-wing continues to vandalize the history of Black people in America. Also in this episode, Joy and her guests examine how Donald Trump appears to be planming for his next indictment by making threats of violence, experts say, with special counsel Jack Smith reportedly interested in Donald Trump's sudden change of heart about election security in 2020. Finally, we analyze the trailing Republican presidential field, which is failing at defeating the leading indicted candidate in Trump. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
