Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blames COVID-19 surge on unvaccinated Black people

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut tonight with the state of the pandemic in Texas, where more than 100 people are dying of COVID-19 each day, and where only 46 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. Then, Joy and her expert guests discuss President Biden's address on Afghanistan on Friday. The president, who has supported getting the U.S. out of Afghanistan since he was President Obama's vice president, made it clear that it was time for the war to end, adding that the focus now should be on getting Americans and our Afghan allies safely out of the country. Plus, one week ago, the DHS issued a new warning about the domestic terrorism threats facing this country. Then on Thursday, we watched the hours-long standoff between police and a man threatening to explode a bomb near the U.S. Capitol. Joy Reid and her guests discuss the state of America in the wake of the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. Finally, director and activist Rob Reiner joins The ReidOut on California once again embarking on a recall, this time sparked by right wing activists who are desperate to bring Trump-style governance to the state. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
