massacre when a white mob destroyed and attacked a black community, killing hundreds. >> for much too long the history of what took place here was told in silence, cloaked in darkness, but just because history is silent, it doesn't mean it did not take place. only with truth can come healing and justice and repair. >> tonight on history and the truth, the president gets the last word. thanks for watching "the beat." "the reid out" is up next with joy reid. >> perfect note to end on. have a wonderful evening. good evening, we begin "the reid out" with a question. will america always be a democracy? is it baked in and certain that we will always stay that way? i mean american exceptionalism and genius of the founders and

brilliant constitution they wrote with the exception of the slavery bit says we will definitely stay a democracy no matter what. military coups and rules by junta don't happen here. that kind of crap doesn't happen to us. are you sure? a new indictment against four members of the far right military group the oath keepers. military and police who believe they may have to overthrow the government some day. total of 16 oathkeepers arrested to date. largest conspiracy case to emerge from the january 6th insurrection. but most disturbing is didn't want to just disrupt the count

but intended to forcibly reinstall donald trump as the president. and how they planned to do that is frightening. one said quote we're going to defend the president. you can call it insurrection or war, or fight. their goal was for trump to declare insurrection and use the insurrection act and then quote call us up as the militia. given the go ahead, intended to arrest members of the congress. oathkeepers prepared to execute a literal coup by former and current members of the military on trump's orders. not only ones. michael flynn appeared to say a coup in this country is not only possible but actually should happen. flynn instead as much during a four-day conference in texas for believers in the qanon conspiracy theory. latest sign it's gone mainstream

inside the republican base. according to poll last week, 23% of republicans say they believe in the premise of the qanon conspiracy theory, that the government is controlled by group of satan worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking prachlgts operation. i know, it's bananarama bonkers. but one in four republicans believe it. videos appear to be designed to inspire if not incite violence against political leaders in washington, including president biden. some of the imagery is so violent and suggestive, i can't show it to you. another portion of the videos also appeared to predict that the united states government would be overthrown this year and trump would seize power. against that backdrop a person

in the audience asked michael flynn if the recent coup in myanmar could happen here in the u.s. here's how that went >> i want to know why what happened in myanmar can't happen here. [ cheers and applause ] >> no reason. i mean it should happen here. no reason. that's right. >> should happen here. should happen here. if that doesn't disturb the hell out of you coming from disgraced ex-general who once plotted to kidnap american resident and rendition him to turkey where he would likely be killed and who trump fired after caught conducting his own foreign policy with russia on the side? if that doesn't disturb you --

in myanmar, democratically elected leaders were deposed by military coup, claiming the elections were a fraud and locked up leader of the ruling party. lock her up. and trying to backtrack, there's no reason whatsoever for coup in america and i have never called for action of the sort. except when i actually said it at qanon rally, whatever you say mike. and we learn that trump himself is hoping for a coup to put him back in office. according to "new york times," trump has been telling a number of people he's in contact with what he expects will be i don't know, some way of being reinstated in august. are you nervous yet? joining me now is michael steele, former chair of the rnc and former assistant director of

counterintelligence at fbi. frank figliuzzi. the qanon thing is both stupid and dangerous, right? i don't know what the word for it is, that people think a giant sex cult is running the federal government but they do, quarter of republicans believe it's true. they also like matt gaetz, doesn't make sense. however, they're dangerous and wonder how afraid you are they might try round two of january 6. >> what you said we should go over. stupid part and dangerous part. it's that ludicrous, silly part, that keeps us from seeing that this has become an actual viable threat to our democracy. it's no longer acceptable to write this off as the rantings of some deluded people when we see what they were capable of on

january 6th and sigh the desire has not gone away. former now convicted felon michael flynn, former national security adviser is saying we should have a military coup, we should. when we see the indictment that dropped on the oathkeepers this weekend and planning of what happened. and what was it that actually kept the president from invoking the insurrection act? it was the fact, read the indictment, that no counter protesters, blm, antifa, showed up and actually got into it with the insurrectionists. if they had, this would be the trigger in their minds that would have created all-out conflict that would have allowed the president to invoke the insurrection act. >> to stay with that for a moment, right. you had immediately some republicans even who tried to say it was antifa and black

lives matter and shift it on to them. leads one to think anyone knowledgeable about the plot or thought could happen, crossing fingers for conflict, really believed and hoped that black lives matter and antifa people, antifascists, would show up. then the white nationalist groups and i don't know what they call themselves, proud boys and all the different groups with military members in them, could and did military maneuvers, hoped to have fight, insurrection act called, martial law. fact that's a real thing, is that what chris wray was warning about? is that what we have to fear in 2024? >> yeah, not only not gone away with trump leaving office, it has gotten worse and emboldened trump and those around him who is talking about coming back into power magically in august. they think can happen, we better

pay attention. chris wray said what happened was domestic terrorism. 25 years in fbi, here's how you deal with domestic terrorism threat, any terrorism threat, dismantle the leadership structure, and headed to 500 indictments, fantastic, seeing conspiracy charges but can't stop there. they have to dismantle the leadership structure, if that means sitting members of congress or people in trump's circle like rudy giuliani or trump himself, so be it. it will not go away if they keep inspiring and mentoring others. >> roger stone used oathkeepers as bodyguards, donald trump claimed by proud boys who think he's their leader and when he said stand back and stand by, he's giving them orders and

leader said he got tour of the white house. didn't say he met with trump. guy who started this, organized the events who is now in hiding, saying that he got help from members of the congress to organize these events. andy biggs, mo brooks, paul gosar, who keep repeating claptrap, white nationalist, black people shouldn't vote. your party is taken over by this. you once telling me the republicans felt with the tea party they had tiger by the tail and felt could ride it to power but didn't know what they were dealing with. this is worse than that, michael. >> it is worse. and you can't emphasize enough what frank has just laid out. it's not just the stupidity, because we get lost in the stupid and people dismiss it. but this is dangerous. it's important to note that folks like michael flynn are

manipulative at the same time as dangerous. all part of the narrative. premise of the entire operation starts in 2015 when you had folks buying this idea of deconstructing the administrative state. they've now found the tools to do that. wasn't just what trump was doing administratively inside the government but what had to take place outside the government. mike flynn is saying the quiet part out loud. people who have amassed massive weaponry and ammunition going back to 2009, 2010, in the obama era. seeds have been planted, narrative is being reeled out to us. question we have to make real for ourselves, this is no longer about what republicans are doing. we know anything that happened post january 6th is on the hands of the individuals not only

named, the folks you listed. proud boys, whomever, but members who perpetuated this. that's why the january 6th commission is so dangerous to them, it exposes what they have their fingers in, or what they've turned a blind eye towards. i think now it's incumbent on us as citizens, joy, to really ratchet up our concern here, to frank's warning, and to be clear about the dangerousness of what is unfolding in front of us. not just focus on the stupidity of it. yeah, child -- this that or other, cabals here and there, it's underground thing becoming commonplace. >> and when i had a day side show and reporting i did on isis, i watched it to see what i was reporting. these videos they show looked a lot like isis videos, even with

a soundtrack i think was meant to sound vaguely middle eastern. pure propaganda videos to incite people that looked like those terrorist videos. am i way out of line for saying that? >> they sound a lot like violent jihad recruiting videos, you're right. and seeing people on social media demanding that people be hung, be beheaded. it's out there and doesn't take much to recruit people into a movement, takes a heck of a lot to get them out. repeated exposure to sunlight and truth. michael said, worth repeating, it's so much bigger than politics and the republican party and whether or not we have a healthy political system. i don't have dog in political fight. i took oath to defend the

constitution this is about the future of our democracy and we need a national effort to call this out what it is at attorney general and white house level. >> last question, michael, does mitch mcconnell and kevin, do they understand it and willing to play ball for power in exchange? talking about destruction of democracy, myanmarization of our politicians. do they understand that? >> you cannot be anything but clued into what's going on. they've had the conversations and know what is going on. we have reporters on our air come on and talk about what they're saying to them privately, so forth. they're more than aware. that's what makes this so dangerous. that's what makes it so problematic. the men, especially the men, who could stop this aren't stopping it because they're either cowards or complicit. >> yep. >> and that's the space we're

talking about right now. >> yep. i don't know if you all follow -- on twitter but said if don't think donald trump would burn the country to the ground to avoid the legal consequences staring at him, tax and legal issues, if you don't think he would let this country burn to save himself and seize power back to be safe, you are not paying attention. stupid but also dangerous. michael and frank, thank you so much. up next on "the reid out," democrats temporarily block effort by texas republicans. other front to make it easier to overturn elections when they disagree with the results. same story in different venue. this is how democracy dies. and chris matthews is here for first television interview for brand new book "this country: my life in politics and history," lot to catch up on, republican

just a couple of hours ago joe biden became first sitting president to commemorate the 1921 tulsa massacre. one of the worst incidents of racial violence in our history. in his remarks, slammed the republicans attack on voting rights. john lewis on his death bed. >> what john said, called the right to vote precious, almost sacred, said the most powerful, nonviolent tool we have in democratic society. it's under assault with intensity i've never seen. house of representatives passed the for the people act to protect our democracy.

senate will take it up later this month and i will fight like heck for its passage. we're going to overcome again i promise you but going to take a hell of a lot of work. >> and vice president harris will lead a push for voting protections in response to the ballot restrictions in several states like texas. where a republican-sponsored bill would contain most restrictive measures in entire country. eliminate 24-hour and drive-through voting and prohibits sunday voting before 1:00 p.m., direct attack on souls to the polls by black churches. and make it easier for judge to overturn election without evidence that fraud changed the outcome of a race. you can see why the texas democrats stirred up good trouble. staging a walkout to prevent the vote being held. chris turner, democratic caucus chair who organized the walkout,

first want to thank you and your colleagues for showing us the meaning of fight. there are some democrats, no disrespect, but might have needed that demonstration. that's just me talking here. ask you about a provision. travis collardi bill negotiation claimed that gutting souls to the polls is just an error and he looks forward to fixing it. your thoughts? >> first of all, thank you for having me, honor to be with you. all 67 members of our caucus led on this and made it possible to defeat this bill. all credit to our caucus in texas. provision on the bill, i spoke at length about that. it is a direct attack on souls to the polls. many churches in texas and across the country have

time-honored tradition of getting out the vote after sunday worship. changing the start time from morning to 1:00 p.m. is attempt to cut off access off church and create a line when they do finally open at 1:00 p.m., both have suppressive effect on right to vote. and i talked about this extensively as did other members. not once did a republican say oh, it was a typo. that's a little bit of revisionist history i'm afraid. >> did the same squeal and retreat in georgia when they tried the same thing there. the most terrifying aspect of this bill and all of it is bad, is the idea a judge could simply say i overturn this election, don't have to prove fraud. this is straight-up tyranny. i don't know if you're a lawyer but how can that be legal? >> i'm not a lawyer but i agree with the analysis. it's terrifying to think a judge

could overturn the election without any evidence essentially. it's important to note this provision had never been seen until the final version of the bill was filed some time on saturday. neither the house nor the senate had to consider this at any point in the legislative session. it came out of nowhere. just one of the many outrageous aspects of senate bill 7, which is why had it to be defeated. >> governor abbott who would benefit from the provision, stay in power as long as he wanted. judge could say he won even if o'rourke beats him. he's going to have special session and threatening to fine y'all for walking out, the house democrats. my understanding is you make like $600 a month, so it's not like -- what do you make of his threats? >> that is our salary, a per

diem too in session. it's capable branch of government to the governor, idea he can zero out the legislature is absurd. i don't know what he's talking about. he should be calling special session to address skyrocketing rate of uninsured in state of texas and address the winter storm grid failure we suffered a few months ago. those things the governor should be focused on, not passing voter suppression bills and worried about legislative appropriations. >> challenge is he doesn't have to do that. problem with the authoritarian style governments is you don't have to take care of the people, give them heat in a winter storm because they can't vote you out. they're in there and stay forever. that's what texas is starting to look like.

attacks on the press, kicking out reporters so they couldn't observe. straight-up authoritarianism, what republicans in washington want to replicate. is there any push back from businesses, same reactions as when georgia tried this? >> i hope so and that's the right question to ask. in texas we saw american airlines and dell computer and others come out with strong statements in opposition to the voter suppression measures but we need to see more do that and keep up sustained campaign against further efforts to pass antivoter legislation like this. republicans will bring it back, it's wrong and we need to defeat it. >> and would the bill in congress help you guys? >> absolutely and need john lewis voting rights act, strong

act to protect voters across the country. >> chris turner, thank you for fighting for democracy. still ahead, chris matthews is here with his new book. cannot wait. we'll be right back. ot wait. we'll be right back. facing leaks takes strength. so here's to the strong, who trust in our performance and comfortable long-lasting protection. because your strength is supported by ours. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. this is wealth. ♪ ♪ this is worth. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - that's actually worth more than you think. don't open that. wealth is important, and we can help you build it. but it's what you do with it, that makes life worth living.

given the continued onslaught on voting rights and republican party's eagerness to whitewash the events of january 6th, more than 100 scholars who study democracy for a living issued a frantic warning. antivoting initiatives are transforming several states into political systems that no longer meet the conditions for free and fair elections, hence entire democracy is at risk. time not on its side. how mitch mcconnell is blocking biden administration every step. another is joe manchin and kyrsten sinema who will not attack the filibuster to save democracy. who better to talk about the state of politics, friend and colleague chris matthews with new memoir, "this country" is out today.

chris matthews, so good to see you, sir. >> joy, glad to see you in that seat. certainly earned it. when i left, i'm glad you came. thank you very much for having me. chance of my life has been inside of politics. opinion with flying around air force one with president, worked with speaker of the house tip o'neill every morning and love american democracy and seen it at its best, deals made in best sense. and seen something terrible happen lately. and i saw -- you did, others have seen firsthand the people fighting to bring down the berlin wall to have votes in germany or see apartheid torn down by election in south africa, there with archbishop tutu, he yelled whoopee, i'm

voting. maybe the democratic party should change to lower case. this is the party that believes in democracy, and i'm -- >> i got to ask you. you went through all the jobs, you left out what is page 83 of your book, worked at capitol police officer. i did want to ask you, as someone who not just worked for speaker but a police officer, what was your visceral reaction to that insurrection on january 6th? >> i felt violated, i felt the place i had worked and people i worked with devoted their lives too, including the police officers, and to see these people come in there and basically desecrate the place, religious term that's appropriate here. wanted to climb on ceilings and put up signs and wear stupid costumes and act like crazy people to show their -- they were looking for human beings and god knows what they would

have done if they got them, including mike pence, mr. vice president, they were looking for you and speaker. to do what? tar and feather them? kill them? make fun of them? they were looking for them and police officers and staff people got them out of danger. that's a scary thing. and then i hear about a high-ranking general who took the oath to this constitution talking about -- i don't know when he's going to explain himself, using word "should" in preposition with military coup, they were cheering what they thought he meant and what he probably did mean. this is what is scary, nobody was shocked by what michael flynn said the other day. this is a continuum. one advantage of being away from daily television having to talk about it every day, like in the peace corps in africa, see a

pattern developing. i was there watching the bitterness grow at home about the vietnam war. dots on the screen. last several months, president who said the previous president was illegal immigrant, absurd, awful, racist comments. now a former president, thankfully, calls this president illegal. says he's not president. 2/3 of the party of lincoln saying that joe biden is not president! it's gotten worse and worse and they go from relying on the electoral college because they can't get popular vote. lost in '16 by almost 4 million and lost again in '20. think it's cute to win by the electoral college but now they can't even win with that. trump doesn't believe it.

with all jefferson's faults, slavery and rest, gave us all men are created equal, a goal, ironically, a goal. if you ask the average republican who likes trump do you really want the majority to rule in this country? >> probably not. >> do you think majority of american citizens should rule, do you think they're going to say yes? >> no. >> no, going to say reduce minority and young voters while we're at it. you've been in politics and fight it as much as i have, what was biggest call of our lives? get out the vote. thrilled for people, begged people for months before each election, get out and vote, vote, vote. said it to everybody. whatever you are, conservative, whatever, vote. wanted everybody to vote and they voted, then they said it

doesn't count. so our guy lost and donald trump knows he lost by 4 million votes, and the electoral college, pennsylvania and wisconsin and michigan. i'm sorry mr. president, you're not mr. president anymore, wake up. >> let me ask you -- >> talking about texas guy, i love that guy, senator chris. democrats have gotten to be better politicians. when republican leader opposed our infrastructure bill in 1982 before election, said it was big spending, thing they always say. called up chief engineer of his hometown, peoria, illinois, happened to be a democrat. give me name of all bridges below safety standards in that republican's district, all the

dangerous bridges. gave me list, addresses and name. tip o'neill got on the floor of the house and listed all the dangerous bridges in the home district of the republican leader and he was scared to hell. went racing to the back of the forum. we won that vote and next election. why don't the democrats go to kentucky and -- >> hold on, chris. here's the problem, not sure that would work. and i do want to ask you about this. when you talk about stuff like that, way you used to be able to achieve bipartisanship by cajoling people with infrastructure pressure -- or scaring people. donald trump holding up bible pretending to be christian, christians impervious to it. mitch mcconnell doesn't care about bridges in kentucky but care about power for mitch mcconnell. they can see the qanon thing like we can, what is happening with them and with people like

joe manchin saying we don't care, won't change. >> usually local politicians think it's all local. hear that school bus is going to run across the dangerous bridge, they get calls from the parents. i think that's where you get people. it's not ideology, are you going to fix the damned bridge or not? if anything happens, it's your fault. old politics does work sometimes. kevin mccarthy embarrasses me, because i think having become leader he's capable of leading conceptually, but great thing about reagan which is odd for me, and tip o'neill, when they led, they led. said we'll fix social security for good, their people followed. is kevin mccarthy a leader or follower? why don't they get leaders?

republicans. >> joe manchin, what is something you could say to manchin who loves the filibuster more than democracy apparently? >> you're being optimistic here. do you think he and sinema are only two aren't against getting rid -- >> no, of course not. >> this time lately? >> they are standing in front of at least nine of them, letting kyrsten sinema and joe manchin take all the bullets, that's clear. just covering for other people. but -- >> here's the question, ask this. voting rights coming up. has to be passed by legislation, under the current law, filibuster could kill it. you know you have to do police reform, guns, what else? infrastructure. might be able to get infrastructure without getting rid of the filibuster, but everything biden is talking about needs 60 votes right now.

are you willing to go to the polls next november with nothing? that is also mitch mcconnell's goal. he wants the democrats to get nothing done so he can go to the regular middle of the road deciding voter next november and say the following -- crime's up, inflation is up, the border is not under control. old republican trick of three issues about your opponent, all negative, nothing else to talk about. they'll get that if there's no program, no agenda, nothing passed. what is biden going to say? we're not so bad on inflation, crime and border? it's all playing defense. you can't win. got to pass stuff. covid relief was very smart. if they get real -- you know what, i don't like the word infrastructure but construction.

build. as new yorkers used to say, replace the smell of the cape with the smell of construction. >> with the smell of construction. classic chris matthews staying. final bit about the book, you talk about everything, including leaving here, not originally planning on doing. tell me about what is the upshot of that for you? >> reality of the upshot is, having a lot of people come up say miss you personally. like you but miss me. and said liked how you didn't let them get away with anything. but reason i left, somebody reported i commented -- remarked on somebody's appearance in the makeup room and shouldn't have done that. nobody has to defend me. i did something wrong. i'm going to move on. took ownership of it, using modern phrase. did not deny it, lost my show

over it. that's it. so that's the truth. good news never had two years to sit down and write about my 70 years, incredible life i've been so lucky to have, be on the inside of american politics looking out. air force one with jimmy carter fighting for his life against reagan, being on the communist side of the berlin wall, and asked him what does freedom mean to you, young guy, he said talking to you. freedom is great, and being with archbishop tutu in south africa walking with him to the polls first time in his life at 62 he get tosses vote, amazing experience to work within democracy and see parts of the world fighting for democracy like nelson mandela and bringing down berlin wall, i got to see

it all in one lifetime. want to share with the people who watched my show faithfully. >> and you do a brilliant job. >> you said it's love letter to the american people, you're so right. thank you. >> let me tell you something, my blurb is on the back. one of the friends you kept is me. so grateful for that. you gave me break before anyone else in this business. love you and thank you for coming on. this book is great y'all, check it out, learn a lot. we share a love of the content of south african history and you'll learn a lot about chris. thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> the book is here, "this country," check it out. still ahead, another democrat jumping in to challenge ron desantis next year. nikki freed why she thinks it's so important to get rid of ron

confront the pandemic. first he's up for re-election next year and new democratic challenger, nikki fried, only statewide elected democrat joined the race officially bein here, ms. freed. congrats on jumping into the race. >> thank you. >> i did politics for a hot minute in florida, worked on a couple of races. florida is a very difficult state, a, for any democrat to win statewide, and for any woman to win. i have nightmares still about the alex sync race. what makes you think you can beat ron desantis? >> well, thank you again, joy, for having me on tonight. i would be remiss to not also recognize the 100th anniversary of tulsa massacre. if we don't learn from the past and study the past, we are going to be destined to have it done again in the future. and that's really kind of also part of my campaign is that the

people of our state want something new. they have seen time and time again for 24 years republicans have run our state and have not listened to the will of the people whether it's constitutional amendments, and then what happened even this actual cycle in the session is that the republicans under ron desantis' leadership has taken away people's rights to vote, has suppressed their opportunity to protest, has made his number one priority signing and passing the social media bill. and so the people of our state are tired. they're tired of this type of leadership in our state that is not listening to the people. when we take that message to the people to try something new, they're going to buy it because they know that the republican party only wants status quo and only protect the top 1% in the corporations of our state and not listening to the people. when we get that message out, people are going to understand that ron's only using them to get to the 2024 presidential election. >> let me ask you this. we've seen a series of these

voting laws in texas. we've seen them in georgia and florida as well. are you concerned even if in theory you're able to get more votes than ron desantis, the way that florida has now structured its laws, they would just overturn and not allow any democrat let alone you to win? can you get democrats past all the hurdles? >> i do because what i have seen on the ground throughout the entire state is the people of our state is are going to rise up against this. they know the system is corrupt. they know the system is designed to break their will. and if we don't break the system, then we're going to continue having republicans dominate our state. so we need the people of our state to understand we've got you. we're going to back you up. but we need them to understand the system that's operating in the state whether it's -- is designed to keep them down. so the system is rigged. the system is corrupt, and i'm asking the people of our state to stand with me, to vote with me so that we end this corruption of 24 years of

republicans running our state. so we're going to get our information out there. we're going to work with our supervisor of elections, and we're going to overcome this very suppressive voter suppression bill. >> do you think cruise ships should refuse to dock in -- >> this is a huge problem. the cruise line industry is one of our largest industries here in the state of florida, not only bringing tourists into our state but thousands upon thousands of jobs, and ron is once again being very egotistical, bullish on this issue. when the cruise line industry just wants to make sure people are safe, get jobs back working on the cruise industry, and they have threatened if the governor does not work with them, they're going to leave the state of florida. >> they won't dock here. >> yeah. >> do you think they should? should they refuse? >> i think that's an important issue for us to be talking about because i do think that if the cruise line industry can't get themselves back up and running and they want to protect their patrons and the people that are working on these ships.

>> yep. >> and this is something that they're fighting for and they should look at leaving if the governor is not willing to work with them. >> last question. in order to get to the general, you got to get to the primary first. charlie christie -- crist is -- >> you and i have known charlie for a long time. his time in statewide elected office has come and gone. the people of our state want something. they want something different and that is exactly what we're going to give to them. so i'm asking all of your viewers to stand with us. if you live here in the state of florida, vote with us. go to my web side nikkifried.com if you're interested in giving a campaign contribution, we would be greatly appreciative. for the people that don't live here in the state of florida, we go to our website. it is all hands on deck. this is something that we as a country need to do to get ron desantis and the republican party out of florida. >> nikki fried, thanks for being here. since you did mention tulsa, you should look at rosewood in
