Late former U.S. Sec. of State Madeleine Albright remembered as a champion of democracy

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

Categories:

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the late former U.S. Sec. of State Madeleine Albright being remembered on Wednesday as a champion of democracy, a message that could not be more relevant today. Joy and her guests discuss the latest reports detailing the efforts of leading Republicans to overturn the 2020 election and undermine our democracy. Plus, Russia and the United States carried out an unexpected prisoner exchange also on Wednesday, trading an American Marine veteran jailed by Moscow for a convicted Russian drug trafficker serving a prison sentence in the U.S. Bill Richardson, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former governor of New Mexico, traveled to Moscow in the hours before the Ukraine war in hopes of securing this Marine veteran's release. Richardson also joins The ReidOut to discuss. Finally, Ron DeSantis tries to position himself as a competent MAGA warrior, but his battle with Disney over its opposition to his "Don't Say Gay" law appears to be rather incompetent. Rep. Val Demings, who is running for U.S. Senate for the state of Florida, joins Joy on how this battle will ultimately hurt Floridians. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
