Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the criminal charges that may be in store for Steve Bannon. Rep. Bennie Thompson, chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, tells Joy, "Steve Bannon or anyone else can't flout the law and expect nothing to happen," after Bannon announced that he would not honor the subpoena served to him by the select committee. And, today in Pennsylvania, where Republicans are trying to obtain private personal information on all 7 million state voters for an investigation, Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro filed a motion to have the courts block them. Shapiro joins Joy in his first national interview since announcing his run for Pennsylvania governor on Wednesday. Next, we commemorate the 48th birthday of George Floyd, and examine how in the wake of his murder, Dr. Andrea Kane -- as the school superintendent in Queen Anne's county, Maryland -- used his tragic death and the subsequent calls for reform as an opportunity to start a conversation on racism within her community. She joins us on how these efforts led to her departure. Finally, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving's anti-vaccine stance being compared to the heroic activism of the greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali, is critiqued by Joy Reid in "The Absolute Worst." All this and more in this edition of TheReidOut on MSNBC.
