Joy leads this episode of The ReidOut with a scandal in Florida, involving the Chair of Florida’s Republican Party, Christian Ziegler. Ziegler is now under criminal investigation for allegations related to sexual battery, according to a complaint filed by the Sarasota Police Department. Joy and her guests discuss this plus Ziegler’s wife Bridget Ziegler’s anti-lgbtq activism as co-founder of Mom’s for Liberty. Plus, new warnings about former President Trump’s plans for a second presidency, which some say would move the country into a full-blown autocracy. Also, Ayman Mohyeldin joins Joy to discuss the latest on the ground in Gaza, with civilians receiving mounting pressure to flee despite no real options with Israel and Egypt refusing to allow refugees. This comes as U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin delivered strong remarks Saturday, about Israel needing to protect civilians in Gaza, calling them the center of gravity in Israel’s war with Hamas.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with the fact that it is becoming increasingly clear that Donald Trump's promise to testify was likely just dishonest bravado, as the defense begins its case without calling him. Plus, Joy analyzes significant events that have unfolded recently, including an upside-down American flag--long considered a symbol of distress--that was seen flying over Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's house. She delves into why Alito and others with the MAGA grievance mentality are apparently in such "distress" that they seem to feel that a Trump dictatorship is necessary to solve their problems.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with anticipating mounting as Michael Cohen prepares to testify on Monday in Donald Trump's criminal trial, poised to confront his former boss's legal defense head-on.

Meanwhile, Trump seems to be assembling his notorious entourage, including Paul Manafort. The once-convicted felon turned pardoned, alleged "bad guy for hire," notorious for his dealings with autocrats like Putin's Russia and Congo's Mubutu Sese Seko, is now allegedly seeking favor from China. Adding to Trump's woes, his former admiration for RFK Jr. now turns to concern as the latter gains traction within Trump's anti-vaxx MAGA base, prompting a state of panic within the former president's inner circle.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid invites us to confront the incredulity of a system where certain individuals, by virtue of their status, can aspire to the presidency despite their actions.

For Donald Trump, this includes the suspicious delays in not one, but three of his criminal trials, a move that seems strategically aimed at safeguarding his chances, potentially influencing the upcoming election. Meanwhile, in the pivotal battle for Senate control, the possibility of a Republican flip in a Maryland seat looms large. Angela Alsobrooks, a Democratic candidate tasked with thwarting this potential shift, joins Joy tonight to discuss the stakes. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
