Summary

Tonight on The ReidOut: Do not expect the soaring rhetoric of JFK’s "Ask Not" speech when Donald Trump is inaugurated on Monday. Due to the cold, the ceremony will not be held outside as usual but inside the Rotunda, near the spot where a Trump supporter stood four years ago with a stolen Pelosi lectern amid the desecration of the U.S. Capitol. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has allowed a TikTok ban to proceed, but the final word is far from decided, especially with TikTok’s CEO attending Monday’s inauguration as Trump’s guest. Plus, President Biden’s final days in office include a flurry of activity, from conservation efforts and clemency decisions to a major new announcement on the Equal Rights Amendment. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
