Tonight on The Reidout she was always of indian heritage. And she was only promoting indian heritage. I didnt know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black. And now she wants to be known as black. So i dont know. Is she indian or is she black . You know the answer to that. Trumps Train Wreck going into a convention of black journalists and insulting them, Vice President harris and your intelligence. While doubling down on those black jobs. Senator Cory Booker joins me in a moment. Also tonight, as we continue to expose project 2025, which trump now knows is very damaging to his campaign, well talk about the big republican push to make the air you breathe and the water you drink less safe so that the wealthiest americans can make more money. But we begin tonight with the visual depiction of a dumpster fire. That may be the only appropriate way to describe what happened today when the nabj, the national association of black journalists hosted Donald Trump

Legally it will be hard for trump to prove that private Companies Cant set their own rules but politically its indefenseable and the most appalling part is most of the Mainstream Media, the supposed champions of Free Speech are fine with the digital cancellation of trump because hes trump.

And more than 100 of them voted last week to keep memorials to dead confederates in that house for generations to come. Its a message we have seen contended with since 1776, the idea that white separatists as still just as patriotic, if not more, than black soldiers and public servants. All that shortly, with the best guest possible. And were keeping an eye on the White House south lawn, where the president will hold a July 4th event in just a couple of hours celebrating essential workers and what he calls independence from covid.
