Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with America’s gun crisis on full display once again, with unimaginable horror in Texas. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has done much to boost the apparent NRA culture of "guns before kids" in that state according to critics, wasted no time reducing the murder victims, including a 9-year-old child, to "illegal immigrants." Our guests discuss what can be done to end America's epidemic of gun violence. Also in this episode, E. Jean Carroll was back on the witness stand on Monday facing cross-examination about her allegation that Donald Trump raped her. Meanwhie, Trump was 3,000 miles away in Scotland, possibly digesting the news that the judge had rejected his motion for a mistrial. Our legal expert, who was in the courtroom as Carroll testified, conveys the impact of her testimony. Finally, Roy Wood, Jr. is here to talk about his best zingers against Clarence Thomas, Tucker Carlson, and President Biden himself at this weekend's White House Corresondents' Dinner. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
