Starts now. Tonight on the reidout you know, these are smart, smart people. They re not so stupid. But they have to be taught. If you had one really violent day, one rough hour, and i mean real rough, the word will get out and it will end immediately. End immediately. A new low as trump advocates for a day of violence. A national blood letting, essentially the purge. That s his rhetoric takes an even more sinister and dangerous turn. Also tonight, bernie moreno, the republican running for senate in ohio, doubles down on his weird comment that women over 50 need not be concerned about abortion because apparently their bodily autonomy doesn t matter anymore. His opponent, sherrod brown, joins me. But we begin tonight with an answer, at long last, to the question many in the political world have wondered over the last eight years since trump went from reality show host, failed casino magnate, and frequent wwe performer to presidential candidate, declaring he would make america great agai

Andrew weissmann is going to be joining us tonight with some trump news, but first i m going to tell you the most hopeful story i know. It is a story about the place where joe biden went today.
