Joy Reid leads The ReidOut tonight with the revelation that while the Tea Party is officially gone, it never actually died. Now that same, faux grassroots strategy is being applied to the anti-vax truckers in Canada. Next, musician, author and director Questlove joins us on directing a documentary on what many call the "Black Woodstock" -- ‘Summer of Soul’ streaming on Hulu. He tells Joy Reid, "Not many people count Black joy as an actual component in our stories." Then authors Wajahat Ali and Yascha Mounk debate the fact that many Americans are calling for an end to all pandemic restrictions, as over 2,600 Americans die daily of COVID-19 on average, while average daily cases have dropped 64% to 213,830. Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, also joins Joy Reid to discuss the stunning hypocrisy of many in the Republican Party regarding recent issues. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
