Episode 239

Joy leads this episode of The ReidOut with Rudy Giuliani's defamation suit against two Georgia election workers. The former New York City mayor was expected to testify Thursday but ultimately did not appear. The eight person jury in the Washington, DC courthouse began deliberations today to decide how much money Giuliani owes in damages. Joy and her guests discuss this plus a major case in the Supreme Court, in which the justices, three of whom are Trump-appointees, will consider whether the government can charge January 6th rioters with a statute that makes it a crime to obstruct an official proceeding. Doing so could potentially delay Special Counsel Jack Smith's election interference case, as obstruction is one of the four counts brought against Trump. Also in this episode, Joy and her guests discuss Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, and the Republican Party's mutual embrace of authoritarianism. Finally, we discuss a shocking new interview in which Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom says that a two-state solution is not an option. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
