Original Air Date: 12-8-2023 Neoliberalism has created a lot of economic suffering and insecurity in addition to weakened social ties over the past few decades. And now, in what may be the most devastating result of the ideology yet, neoliberalism may be leading much of the world toward fascism bolstered by legitimate grievances about economic precarity which are coopted by the false promises of right-wing populism.

Why Cuts to Medicaid & SNAP Will DEVASTATE America. Should Dems Skip the SOTU? This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum brace for the long night (shout out GOT fans). House Republicans passed a budget framework that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits, plus huge tax breaks for the wealthy. Trump is literally going to war with the poor. It’s not hyperbole to say that millions of American lives are at risk. Meanwhile, big shakeups at MSNBC mean there is even less representation in cable news these days. We grieve the loss of Joy Reid’s show, The ReidOut, and ask: would boycotting cable news be more harmful or helpful? Should Democrats show up to Trump’s State of the Union address? With Trump dismantling our democracy and the GOP pushing for devastating cuts to the social safety net, attending this yearly ceremony may just be a bad look. Lastly: WE WON!!

Political commentator and television host Joy Reid has been fired from her position at MSNBC, where she anchors her show The ReidOut. The move comes as the network is restructuring its programming. Among other changes at the network, Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez, who currently co-host The Weekend, will move to a new weekday program. And Jen Psaki, a former White House press secretary under the Biden administration, was moved to a primetime weekday slot. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the changes afoot at MSNBC and the real reasons behind Reid's firing, along with some of the “greatest hits” during her tenure at MSNBC. Plus segments with foreign affairs expert John Mearsheimer on his 2015 prediction about Ukraine coming true, the Trump administration's dramatic reversal on Ukraine policy and what a possible peace deal over Ukraine might look like. Also featuring Jimmy Dore and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kevin Spacey!

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Donald Trump called out MSNBC's low ratings over the weekend at CPAC. Joy Reid has since been fired from her show, "The ReidOut." Additionally, NBC stalwart Lester Holt is exiting "NBC Nightly News." Are we witnessing a transition of the mainstream media, or are the networks trying to salvage their bottom line? If the deep-staters were nervous about Kash Patel's confirmation as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, they're now panicking over vocal FBI critic Dan Bongino being appointed deputy director of the FBI. Elon Musk sent out an email over the weekend requiring federal employees to list their job accomplishments from last week, and it has Democrats losing their minds. The episode concludes as Sara and the panel enjoy Tom Homan's speech at CPAC. Homan does not care about your feelings. And finally, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is closing down immigration activity at the Roosevelt Hotel and 53 additional shelters. Finally! It has only taken two long years!!

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with reports of Elmer Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio returning to the scene of the crimes Donald Trump pardoned them for, but it was not long before Tarrio was placed back in handcuffs. Plus, we exposea shakeup at ICE as Donald Trump's deportation plan runs into many obstacles. Yet, the White House is succeeding in weaponizing deportations and demonizing immigrants, critics say, which has already had deadly consequences. Listen now.
Joy Reid leads the final episode of The ReidOut with this question: "When you are in the midst of a crisis, and specifically a crisis of democracy, how do you resist?" We examine this as Elon Musk's DOGE faces resistance from everyday Americans who are fighting back. MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace and Lawrence O'Donnell join Joy during the last edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC to discuss.
Andrew Gillum goes LIVE with resources and tips for how to get plugged into The Fight.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Joy Reid is out at MSNBC, marking a major shift in the liberal media landscape. Rebecca Kutler's decision to cancel The ReidOut signals a change in strategy as networks struggle with declining ratings. Reid's fiery, divisive rhetoric no longer resonates, and her departure reflects a broader media reckoning in the wake of Trump's 2024 victory.
Joy Reid has signed off from The Reidout on MSNBC after her long running show has been cancelled. The show did drop in ratings, but Reid and others feel she lost the show due to her speaking her true feelings about Donald Trump. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Karma strikes again! After doubling down on the woke agenda and years of spewing the most idiotic and racially divisive rhetoric across all of legacy media, MSNBC has FINALLY decided to pull the plug on the not-so-popular "The ReidOut," hosted by Joy Reid. Jason jokingly wonders how MSNBC will ever recover from axing the media's best Donald Trump weave. Looking ahead to 2028, as predicted, Stephen A. Smith now has the fourth-best odds to win the Democratic presidential nomination, according to Kalshi. To quote Stephen A. himself, “Have we all lost our damn minds?” Stephen A. Plant continues his tirade, acting as if he's the second coming of Barack Obama while simultaneously beefing with legacy Democrats like James Carville. Finally, reports have surfaced that the Super Bowl 59 champion Philadelphia Eagles declined their invitation to visit the White House. Are we really that surprised? Lastly, wrapping up a tight show, Shemeka Michelle joins Jason to discuss former Carolina Panthers star wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. Smith was exposed for having an affair with another man's wife, who works for the Baltimore Ravens Marching Band.

The new boss of MSNBC not only canceled "The Reidout" and "Alex Wagner Tonight," she also ended the weekend shows of Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart. Is anything really going to change -- other than Joy Reid's visibility? Is Symone Sanders much "safer" for MSNBC? Or is it just rearranging the host furniture?

Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with a dive into the various far-right extremists who are influencing and orchestrating President Trump's decision making. Joy and her guests discuss this plus Trump's justice, with Kash Patel being confirmed as Trump's FBI Director and a Trump-appointed prosecutor investigating Democrats for their rhetoric. Also in this episode, former NFL player and activist Chris Kluwe joins Joy to discuss being arrested for MAGA civil disobedience. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with President Trump and DOGE's modern American bank heist, slashing budgets for things like Medicaid, social security benefits, and overtime pay, in support of the original goal: massive tax cuts for the ultra rich. Joy and her guests discuss this plus the increased scrutiny of the Justice Department's motion to dismiss New York City Mayor Adams' corruption case. Also in this episode, Trump doubles down on his comments calling Ukrainian president Zelenskiy a “dictator” and European countries and leaders grow gravely concerned about Trump's international actions. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with Judge Tanya Chutkan's rejection of efforts brought by 14 states to curtail Elon Musk and DOGE's access to federal data across seven agencies. Joy and her guests discuss this plus Trump's continued revenge tour, this time with the resignation of the head of the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's office for Washington, D.C., after she refused to carry out politically motivated orders. Also in this episode, chaos in New York City with the mass resignations of Mayor Eric Adams' deputy mayors, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul holding meetings to decide whether to remove Adams from office. Plus, negotiations in Saudi Arabia about the war in Ukraine and Russia, but without Ukraine present. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with a recap of Donald Trump's first weeks in office and the flurry of chaos, fear, and devastation that have ensued. Joy and her guests discuss DOGE slashing government agencies, purging watch dogs groups, and interfering with the justice department. Plus, Joy speaks to a recently fired maternal healthcare medicaid worker on her past 48 hours, and her fears for the future of some medical research. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this edition of The ReidOut, Joy Reid covers the mass firings of federal employees—potentially hundreds of thousands—ordered by Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Plus, we discuss what many consider to be America's shame on the world stage as J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth fumbled through the Munich Security Conference. But first, Trump's take on law and order, as we seemingly now live in a country where the rule of law apparently comes second to what Trump wants. Top officials in Trump's Justice Department—who also happen to be his former criminal lawyers—have pressured prosecutors to drop corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, citing interference with the administration's immigration priorities. Listen now to this episode of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with what many are calling a bait and switch. As grocery prices continue to soar—despite Donald Trump's promises to lower them starting on Day One of his second presidency—there is growing fear and anxiety across the country. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has used his version of X/Twitter to weaponize anti-immigrant hysteria, antisemitism, and even race science while buying his way into the Oval Office, experts believe. He now literally stands over the elected president, taking a buzzsaw to American democracy, gutting services that millions rely on, and burning the government to the ground while salting the ashes, according to critics. House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) joins The ReidOut to discuss.
Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what she sees as the latest signs of the gangster-like governance of the current U.S. administration. The Department of Justice, under Donald Trump, has dismissed the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams in a way that keeps him vulnerable to future prosecution, while former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has seen a criminal probe into allegations of sexual misconduct dropped. Coincidentally, McMahon's wife, Linda, is Trump's nominee for Education Secretary, and her confirmation is expected to sail through. Meanwhile, reports are emerging of missing federal funds, and the first death has been attributed to the dismantling of USAID, with a 71-year-old refugee in Myanmar dying after her oxygen supply was cut due to hospital closures caused by the withdrawal of U.S. foreign aid. Plus, protests are growing at home, with an artist in D.C. unfurling a sign alleging that, "Elon is stealing your data," coinciding with Tesla's stock dropping 13% since Trump's inauguration.
Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid welcomes Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) on what Congress can do to rein in the worst of Donald Trump's executive orders. Plus, we will discuss Trump's increasingly disturbing plans to "take" Gaza and his insistence that Egypt and Jordan will take in all of Gaza's people, whether they—or the Gazans—want to or not. We also cover the latest battleground in Trump's push to transform the federal bureaucracy and expand executive power—efforts that seem to include Elon Musk, who, after being Trump's biggest campaign donor, now has his staff reportedly rifling through nearly every federal agency, allegedly cutting off funding to whatever they choose, often targeting the most vulnerable Americans, critics say. Meanwhile, Trump has gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, leaving Americans vulnerable to financial scams. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this edition of The ReidOut, Joy Reid covers a federal judge ruling that the Trump White House has violated his order to restore frozen federal funding—raising a big what-if: What if Donald Trump simply ignored that judge and other courts that tell him his actions are illegal? We also revisit Trump's promise to lower grocery prices, when he said, “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” But they are still rising--and apparently he does not want to talk about it anymore. Next, Trump also took an expensive mini-vacation to the Super Bowl, making history as the first president to attend the game in person. Taxpayers footed the bill, including the cost of Air Force One and security for his entourage. We have more on what many see as the waste of this trip. Plus, Elon Musk's "DOGE" gang has infiltrated and effectively shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal agency designed to protect consumers from predatory bankers and credit card companies. Our financial expert guest discusses how this may impact you. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with Donald Trump aligning with President Elon Musk in calling for an end to USAID—the same agency that First Lady Melania Trump once praised as embodying her "Be Best" initiative and that Ivanka Trump used to launch a highly publicized program to empower women in developing countries. Less than three weeks into this new administration, we are already facing what many are calling a constitutional crisis, and it is not coming from the man elected to sit behind the Resolute Desk, but from the unelected billionaire seemingly pulling the strings—Elon Musk. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Air Date 2/7/2025 Trump came in with a plan to subdue the media and large swaths of the media came in with a plan to acquiesce. But it's important to understand why because it's not a conspiracy or people wanting to do harm, it's structural to the system. Be part of the show!

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with Donald Trump's second choice for U.S. attorney general, Pam Bondi, being sworn in by Clarence Thomas after vowing to end the "weaponization" of the DOJ, only to immediately launch a probe into prosecutors Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and Letitia James for prosecuting Trump. And, we discuss the Senate voting to confirm Russell Vought on Thursday, a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist tied to Project 2025, which Trump falsely claimed to know nothing about. Plus, Joy breaks Trump's "shock and awe" strategy in his second administration, which is designed to inspire fear and outrage, creating problems only to pretend to solve them, while keeping his base engaged as his administration dismantles the federal government. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with a reminder of, "What about her emails?" In the wake that controversy, which many see as fabricated by the GOP, Donald Trump's CIA has now committed what is being called a counterintelligence disaster by reportedly sending the names of recently hired CIA employees to the White House in an unclassified email. Plus, fear and outrage has errupted in the Middle East after Trump's irresponsible remarks about turning Gaza into a "Riviera" of the Middle East, permanently stealing the homes of two million Gazans. We also cover growing glimmers of the rebel alliance, as thousands of Americans in fifty states took to the streets on Wednesday to reject the hostile, MAGA takeover of American democracy—denouncing everything from Trump's calls to occupy Gaza to his Project 2025 playbook and the seemingly unlimited authority Trump has handed to Elon Musk, with zero checks and balances and no oversight.
President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip during a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, something Trump has never said before. Joy Reid and her panel discuss on The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this edition of The ReidOut, Joy Reid brings you the latest on Donald Trump's tariff threats and the fear of mass firings at the FBI as the Trump administration demands the names of every agent who worked on the January 6th investigations. Also tonight, we begin bringing you good news amid all the horror. We call this seies our "Moment of Joy," and it comes up later in the show. But, Joy begins with a full-on crisis in our democracy, as federal workers are literally locked out of their offices while operatives working for a private citizen essentially take over our government. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with the latest in the ongoing investigation of the plane and helicopter crash that killed 67 people in D.C., and President Trump's continued insistence that “D.E.I.” is to blame. Plus, breaking news during this episode of a small plane crash in northeast Philadelphia, with multiple fires burning. Joy and her guests join to discuss this plus the Trump administration's purge of government institutions, now with the firing of FBI agents and prosecutors who worked on crimes committed by Trump and his supporters on January 6th. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with the tragic plane and helicopter collision that killed 67 in Washington, D.C. last night. President Trump quickly jumped to blame “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” efforts for the crash, without any specifics or information to back up this claim. Joy and her guests discuss this plus the confirmation hearings for two of Trump's most controversial cabinet picks: Kash Patel for FBI Director and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. Also in this episode, Chris Hayes joins Joy to discuss his new book on Trump and “the attention economy.” All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
Joy Reid leads this episode of the ReidOut with Secretary of Health and Human Services hopeful RFK Jr. in the hot seat taking questions from lawmakers in his confirmation hearing. Former Obama HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius joins Joy to discuss RFK Jr.'s lack of experience for the position and her warnings about the damage he can do in the role. Plus, Joy and her guests discuss the chaos and confusion caused by the Trump administration's back and forth on a federal funding freeze. Also in this episode, former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams joins to discuss Trump and his sycophants' attacks on DEI. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
In this edition of The ReidOut, Joy Reid brings you two major interviews. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and New York Attorney General Letitia James join Joy to discuss Donald Trump's reality TV-style immigration raids and his blatantly illegal federal spending freeze, as he moves quickly to consolidate power. Meanwhile, his administration is doubling down on regressive policies, with Trump asking for billions for immigration raids targeting Democratic cities and his Treasury secretary proposing tariff hikes that will burden everyday Americans.

We begin this episode of The ReidOut with Mark Greenblatt, the former Inspector General of the Interior Department, who was among 18 inspectors general abruptly fired in a Friday night purge by Donald Trump. When questioned, a White House official claimed the firings were part of an effort to shed remnants of the Biden administration that did not align with the new Trump administration. However, inspectors general are apolitical by design, tasked with investigating misconduct regardless of partisan considerations. Moreover, the firings likely violate federal law, which mandates a 30-day congressional notice and justifications for removing an inspector general. Predictably, sycophantic Republican senators, including Lindsey Graham, remain unperturbed by this latest move from Trump.
