see you back here monday night. >> if you score the meek mill interview, we are going to fight. we are going to fight for that interview. it has to be your lawyer. i would love to get that interview. can we do it together? >> you know what, we had our other artist on together. i would love to do a joint interview of meek mill with you you. >> officially we have pitched that just now on national tv. let's do it. >> to the world. >> have a great weekend. thank you. all right. cheers. all right. good evening. we begin the reid out with a hearer story. today issed from the 13th. most of us old enough to remember, that conjures up members of jason vorhees and his murdering rampages near crystal lake.

so spooky. 2021 the nightmare has been replaced by another horrifying reality, the modern republican party. for many hardcore trump followers and the orange emporor with no clothes himself. this day of friday the 13th is the day of his return to power. the military, which is secretly in power will hand over the white house to the bloated -- according to one report trump is telling people he would be reinstated as president. that explains why the hashtag trump is a laughing stock trended. it was cooked up and pushed by

right wing heretics. >> the morning of august 13th, it will be the talk of the world. hurry up. let's get the election pulled down and right the right. >> august 13th, donald trump will be reinstated as president. elias is going to overturn -- >> nearly 30% of the republican party actually believes the nonsense. well, it is past 7:00 p.m. and joe biden is still the president. he is not a holgram. because there is no constitutional mechanism or legal tool to reinstate a man who was rejected by 81 million americans and lost his re-election period. period. the shear stupidity of it all masks the disturbing under belly of the republican party in this

moment. today is another example of how far the right wing misinformation regime is willing to go. the only american president to try to overthrow a free and fair election prompting the dhs to include a warning about domestic terrorist warning of violence stemming from conspiracy theories about election fraud and alleged reinstatement. the same poison fuelling a two two-pronged attack. this has become acceptable to republicans why did they allow

all of this poison? the united states is increasingly multiracial and urban and the white population is shrinking. more interesting, the majority of the americans under 18 are ethnically diverse, the majority. the census showed us is that the bulk of the population growth is in states like texas and zone where republicans get to draw the lines in a way that ensures they keep more power than they deserve. that is what we call gerrymandering, folks, when old america keeps the new america from bully blossoming. democracy can die in broad daylight. every time democracy ekes out a victory republicans throw up more hurdles. the next few months will pose a

make or break moment for america and what will democrats do about it. general, you were the person that i wanted to talk to at this moment. it does feel like the democracy is teetering on the brink of collapse. i wonder if as someone who was attorney general you think they are being aggressive enough. >> the justice department is investigating and prosecuting the people involved on january 6th and there needs to be a

wider investigation to tie what happened january 6th to the day of the election or immediately this after. as the revelations come out about the white house influencing the justice department and getting people there to say that the election results were fraudulent and use it as a basis to over turn the election results, i think this calls for an expensive review of what happened. the important thing is to look at all of the things can be shared with the american people and with history. criminal investigations, you know, a lot of it happens in grand juries and a lot is not revealed to the public. there has to be an accounting of who was involved and what did they do.

>> there is not a history in this country of prosecutoring a former president. right now the former president, donald trump. election officials opened it up in february about that phone call. and i wonder if combining that fact that he is already under that criminal investigation and they are coming out to look at what could be crimes. if you were still in a position to do so, would you be open to the idea that perhaps donald trump should be prosecuted? >> yeah. i certainly think that, you know, everybody that was involved in that matter, and i

mean you can't look at it. you can't just say january 6th is the only thing we need to look at. we have to go back a couple of months and everybody involved in that should be investigated and potentially prosecuted. prosecution of a former president involves a range of things. there are national interests and divisions that would unleash. and that is not to say he shouldn't be held accountable. at a minimum an investigation needs to be done to find out who exactly was involved and what was the connection between the people in the white house and the people who were there. >> you were there when merrick garland was chosen to be on the supreme court.

do you get the sense he is over cautious in that regard and others that might have been complaceit in a insurrection? >> maybe 25, 30 years at this point. i think he is a person that is going to do things by the book. he understands what happened on january 6th and the negative impact it had on the nation. i think he feels that and understands that and is prepared. you know, i think merrick went

in to the job understanding this. i think he has got the type of backbone that will let him make the appropriate determination in the cases. now let's get to the other half of the threat to democracy. republicans are using the big lie if they believe it or not. they are deciding to use it to their advantage. you sued multiple states here in these red states and now have it happening on steroids. in your view, how do we put the brakes on that enough to allow enough people to be able to vote so we have a free and fair election in 2022. and are you worried we will not have a free and a fair election?

>> i am concerned if we do not pass the for the people act that we can get to a point where they will put measures in place that will be irreversible. there is a notion that you you could overturn a vote by the people in a presidential election. the best way is to pass the legislation the house has passed and is pending in the senate. >> the reaction among the republican party does not seem

to be adjusting the policies. it seems to be they are gearing up to gerrymander the hell out of the map meaning even if democrats win huge majorities they will not get the seats that will go with it. what can we do about that? >> well, you pass the for the people act banning partisan gerrymandering. we have been working on this since january 2017 and we put people in place in the states who control the process. governors and secretaries of state in a variety of states all acting as a check against republican legislatures.

there is an advocacy campaign. we know the population is more diverse and more young. all of these things tend to favor democrats. the overall population was fueled by 90% of that from people of color. you should have a greater democratic representation from texas, as well as from other states. >> yeah. before i let you go, do you have any scoops on whether or not you think any version of for the people actually will pass.

it looks like the original for the people act. it should be called the john lewis act. that is the one his team wrote. is any of it going to pass? >> i hope so. i think leader schumer has ideas. senators seem to be more concerned about the filibuster than about our democracy. i am cautiously optimistic that this can happen. senator schumer said this is the first thing they are going to take up when they come back from the august recess. but that is a vital, vital piece of legislation. all right. and coming up next on the reid out, the cynical covid politics

of ran desantis and greg abbot. republican governors willing to risk lives in exchange for the votes of the anti-mask crowd. as rand paul serves up covid misinformation, he has questions to answer about his family's rush to profit from the pandemic. things are rapidly going from bad to worse in afghanistan. after 20 years would there ever have been a good time for us to leave? r have been a good time for us to leave?

begin in broward county, teachers return to news that three educators died of covid within 24 hours this week. teachers union said all three were unvaccinated and that their deaths are a tragedy. what if they were in a classroom with kids too young to be vaccinated and who by governor's orders could be in the classroom unmasked. that tragedy for the three families could have been extended to many, many more families all because of ron desantis. broward county schools already defied the mask orders and a judge heard a challenge from parents in six counties today. ron, the junior don conceded he doesn't even have the authority to follow through on the threat to withhold the salaries of educators that defied his ban. greg abbot, who like desantis is up for re-election next year issued a threat of his own to

texas school districts who rejected had his mask mandate ban. governor deathsantis soldiers on. the threat to florida's vulnerable only grows. school districts around tampa are reporting hundreds of cases in students and teachers and palm beach county more than 400 students are in quarantine. 800 florida doctors signed a letter demanding he repeal his dangerous order. dr. bernard ashby, a miami cardiologist and olivia troy who is currently director of the republican accountability project. my three kids went to schools in

broward county schools. i would be afraid to send them. i am not sure i would. talk about this letter that you all sent and about the impact of the ban on mask mandates in florida. >> joy, as always it is a pleasure to be here. i wish it was under better circumstances now that our kids are at risk in this pandemic. quite a few physicians decided to basically speak from the point as frontline workers and physicians with our mandate of ethnics. we protect the well-being of patients and it goes for the community as well. we were asking him to do your job.

your job as the governor is to protect the health and the wellness of the community, and heis -- the point of the letter was to communicate the message and hope he would do what is right for our children and for our entire state. but he is not. his response to that is to sell the stupid fauci t-shirts and urge republicans to use regeneron and deploying mobile units does that make sense to you as a physician? >> so, joy, believe it or not we

advocated that he promote this therapy. there is a 70% chance of hospitalization and death if you get that therapy early. right now in the midst of an emergency while hospitals are being filled up that is one therapy that we can use. he only did it because of our advocacy. i have been on, you know, i have been railing about doing something. doing something. these are one of the measures that we have asked him to do. one thing to be against masks. another thing to criticize fauci and others. but he was not doing anything. this is the least that he can do given the fact that the therapy is so effective and under utilized and could save a lot of

lives. what saved more is wearing a mask. he is against masks and simply making it a political issue is inhumane. this is something where if you were in, you know, a fantasy world it would not make sense to me. >> having served on the trump task force that was about preventing us from getting to where we are right now. i am fascinated to hear your thoughts now the proud boys are showing up, threatening violence. shouted down and bullied, including by the proud boys. your thoughts on the fact that

the republican governors decided this is their key to power and they don't care that it could be killing people. >> they don't care. it is frustrating and it is so angering to me. i have seen it before. i have seen the whole show before. i saw them doing this a year ago when we were going in to a terrible winter. that was back then. we are seeing the show again. talking about the proud boys. what was striking was the highlighting of the misinformation and rhetoric on covid specifically. our own homeland security enterprise is warning about the potential for violence across

the country. you are seeing the narratives coming together and it is being driven by desantis and abbot. the governors of the states. leaders of the country you have national security officials warning about this. doctors have to get added security. it is a matter of cultural rage. have you experienced that? >> joy, yes, i have. between some of the messages that i have received on social

media, to my email. i even have patients calling in my office threatening me. and this is literally insane. i have a office in miami and plenty of patients who are trump supporters. and they know me. they know my heart. they know that i will bend over backwards to do whatever it takes to make sure that their health is protected and improved. to attack me for following my mandate when people are ignoring measures that will protect them from dying in order to attack me. as someone that practices

medicine for the love of it and know i am a servant. to be attacked for that is, putting it lightly, a slap in the face. >> it is despicable. there has been debate if donald trump who is not reinstated as president today was to say something. in your view as someone that was in the position would it make a difference at this point? >> i think it is too far gone down the road honestly between all of the conspiracies that it could make a difference and he could speak to a certain population out there where it could move the needle on this thing. >> but he won't because he is donald trump. all right. still ahead the taliban is advancing across afghanistan

the situation in afghanistan is deteriorating rapidly with the taliban capturing the country's second and third largest cities today. they have been grabbing territory and are now in control of more than 2/3 of the country as the u.s. is crawing troops from the region. john kirby said kabul is not in danger but officials think it could fall to the taliban within weeks. the u.n. secretary general said

the country is spinning out of control. before getting further, it is important to remember how we got here. it was known as the paris of central asia. in 1978 the country's president was assassinated. the soviets invaded occupying the country for a decade and the u.s. backed guerrilla fighters as part of the cold war fight against communism and some went on to form the taliban which took over the country in 1996 and allied with al qaeda. shortly after 9/11 the u.s. invaded and 20 years later, here we are. joined by richard engel. i guess the obvious question to ask you, we have been there 20

years. if it is so unavailable the taliban has taken over 2/3 of the country, what did we accomplish? very little. we could be in a worse situation now and the amount of credibility that the taliban now will have. they are now the international celebrities. so, afghanistan could become more of a terrorist magnet than it was before. that is how things look right now.

there were bright moments. afghanistan changed a great deal. >> finish your answer. >> right after 9/11, the u.s. moved in with a light footprint. pushed out al qaeda within three months. that phase of the war was won. there were freedoms, health care introduced, afghans were free and they were able to embrace new lives and new opportunities. the u.s. presence was extremely popular. then things went off of the rail when the united states went to iraq and over extended itself and 90% of the region was shifted to iraq. things started to deteriorate. the taliban were able to come back. for years the u.s. has been drifting in the state of semi war and semi victory with the tal man until right now they are

pulling it off. the country is falling into something worse than it was where we started. >> another ridiculous and unnecessary outcome from the unnecessary invasion of iraq. richard engel, tragic. really appreciate you. with me now is a former army ranger who served in iraq and afghanistan and at that point it sticks with me as someone that opposed the iraq war from the beginning. the fact we took our eye off of the ball in afghanistan and took all of the resources to iraq and allowed afghanistan to deteriorate. i think that is awful and a stain on the bush

administration. i will edit the what did we accomplish question. we got bin laden. so, that happened. but for you as somebody that served in afghanistan, i think of a 22-year-old, for all of their life has essentially lived with the freedoms that richard engel described. a girl being able to go to school and maybe now in college or wanting to be a doctor or a lawyer. they never lived under the taliban. what should we say to that girl who is going to discover the hell of taliban life. >> joy, this is nothing short of heartbreaking. i am a member of congress now but before i served in iraq and afrg. afghanistan twice. like many of us that served in afghanistan, we left a piece of our heart with that country, and

come to love many of the people he served and fought with including the afghans and it is extremely heartbreaking to see how this is ending. we are going to have decades to debate this, the missteps, problems, the lost opportunities, the opportunity to save many of those young girls that you talked about. my focus right now in the days and in the weeks ahead is that we have young women. we have afghan interpreters and folks that work in civil society. we now have an obligation to conduct a broad and expeditious evacuation to get many of those folks out and in to safety. they have come to rely on us. >> you know, i think of afghanistan as the real life hands maid tale.

gilead, a version and now they are stuck in the miss. the ending is not written by the administration alone. i want to put up a couple of tweets from. >> danny: vanka trump, heralding her father making the deal that the biden administration adopted. do you think the biden administration -- even though it is popular. the majority of americans support getting out of afghanistan. we can't be in forever wars, right. >> right. >> in your views should the deal to get out have been left the way that the trump administration left it or altered? >> i always disagreed with the so called deal with the taliban. you can't deal with the taliban. you can't. they will never go into it with good faith. i think that we should leave.

i did agree with the biden administration and president biden's decision to lead. after 20 years and hundreds of billions dollars and building a 300,000 strong military in afghanistan. if it can't last 60 days another two or five years would not matter. you can give them tanks and aircraft. you can't give them the will to fight and leadership and the ability to do that. i did agree with the decision to withdraw but we have to look at the terms of the crawl. that comes back to the honor that is to be had in the next couple of weeks and months. >> absolutely. >> thank you so much for your service congressman jason crow and for being here. who won the week is still ahead. we will try to uplift ourselves this evening. but first republican senator

rand paul had a terrible week, suspended from youtube for spreading misinformation about masks and facing tough questions about a covid related stock purchase his family made at the onset of the pandemic. hmm. that is coming up after a quick break. hmm. that is coming up after a quick break.

learning about it this week. paul said he filled out a report but learned it wasn't sent in. paul sits on the health committee that received a private briefing on the virus before it ravaged the country and the spokesman said that paul did not attend any private briefings. the purchase came three weeks before covid was declared a pandemic and there were 14 cases in the united states. the purchase is the first and the only individual stock, the only one the lawmaker reported. here is why buying or selling during his ten years in the senate. dan callaway, a democratic strategist and dana millbank, a political columnist for the "washington post." i don't know who to go to first. dana, columnist and journalist. does it seem credible to you that he only paut one stock in

ten years and it happened to be the treatment for coronavirus. >> very, very curious. dr. fauci had a run-in with paul. he said senator paul, you have no idea what you are talking about. it may be more sinister than that. he is going around last year saying no big deal, this virus. but his wife, evidently seeing it as a very big deal because she is making the investment in the company. and the notion that, well, he lost money. the stock did go up, they just didn't sell it at the right time. it appears the senator dufus may have something more going on in his brain here than he let on and it does not look good. there were many of his colleagues that had problems with the same notion of insider trading, and he kept mum for nearly a year and a half. he managed to push it closer to his own re-election.

>> i remember the other senators. it couldn't have been more sinister if his wife went muah -- when she was buying the stocks. i want to give you ideas of trying to you learn in congress. this person i think is really credible on this issue. >> people should not profit off their relationship with government, or their special relationships or special knowledge they gain in the function of serving the people. >> your thoughts on that credible witness, don? >> summer jam screen right there. it is always a mix, you hang around congress just long enough. i knew it would come up. that is 2012 right? i think it is time we point out as dana just alluded to that this is standard practice for the national republican party. senator kelly loeffler of

georgia and senator richard byrd who faces re-election in 2022 basically dumped a substantial portion of their personal portfolios after the senate commerce committee private briefing in which the senators were actually told this thing is going to be serious. while they dumped, what rand paul went and did is bought a bunch of stock in gilead which makes remdesivir. standard practice for the republican party. if you look at former labor secretary and transportation secretary elaine chao whose husband is the minority leader hopefully never again the majority leader she sits on multiple boards of the companies. this is standard practice for the republican party who have made a practice of getting personal wealth off their government service. there's always a tweet and thankfully always a tape. >> always a mixed tape as you said. to ron johnson on that point of being in the business of politics maybe to help out the rich and maybe get a little richer. pro publica has a piece that says the following on ron johnson's push for extra tax breaks for megadonors in the

trump tax cuts confidential tax records reveal that the last-minute maneuver benefited two families more than any others in the country both with billions and both among the senator's biggest donors. the cut could deliver more than half a billion in tax savings to these two people over the eight-year life. your thoughts, dana, on ron johnson using his job to benefit his rich friends. >> joy, this is bribery. it may be legal but it is legalized bribery. these same billionaires gave $20 million in 2016 to help ron johnson get re-elected then he turns around and increases the tax break for the pass through corporations and they immediately benefit these two billionaires $80 million. so a 4-1 return on their investment. if there is a pass through going on here it seems to be a pass through between ron johnson and his donors.

you pay up front or you'll get four times return on your investment. >> do democrats have a strategy for attempting to replace limb? is there a credible candidate? >> absolutely a young man named mandela barnes. there is also a young democrat to take out charles booker. i had to do it. >> all i'm saying, i know some -- y'all are advocates which i love the fact your main, the main qualification, the most important thing to know, is that they're in your view the right fraternity. we're not getting into that right now. when we come back we'll have these two gentlemen play our favorite game and that is who won the week. stay right there.
