A history lesson on the scheme by the super-rich to topple the U.S. government

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a history lesson, explaining the elaborate 1930s scheme by the super-rich to topple the U.S. government for their own financial interests, which has many echoes today. Next, a panel of judges in Georgia has given the green light to Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis to seat a special grand jury for her investigation into Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the election results in that state. Then we discuss how many Trump-aligned Republicans are now determined to control election results from within the apparatus, playing the long game with their eyes on 2024, by electing more unscrupulous and anti-democratic secretaries of state, boards of election and other election related offices. Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy lambastes the latest foray into "critical race theory" madness coming from none other than Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
