Barbara Boxer: "Wake up America. This is a full-throated overturning of Roe."

The ReidOut with Joy Reid - A podcast by Joy Reid, MSNBC

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut podcast with a big dose of existential dread. Much of New York and New Jersey are under water -- with more than 40 people dying from devastating floods Wednesday night. Will this finally be the moment that people start acknowledging just how bad the climate crisis is? Meanwhile, COVID-19 continues to rage across the country -- with children's hospitals at capacity and pleading for help. And, in their second dead of night ruling in just over a week, after striking down protections for Americans facing eviction last week, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court declined to overturn the six-week abortion ban in Texas. The abortion law has no exceptions for incest or rape, and deputizes private citizens as bounty hunters who can search for anyone who performed or helped a woman get an abortion after that six-week period, before most women even know they're pregnant. Joy Reid also critiques Sen. Susan Collins for the part she played in creating this conservative Supreme Court. Guests former Sen. Barbara Boxer, Rep. Karen Bass, and more experts discuss these critical political issues and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
