A long line of MSNBC’s most popular anchors spent Monday calling out the network’s corporate sibling, NBC News, for its hire of former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel in a stunning display of internal rifts laid bare on the TV screen.
The hire of McDaniel as a contributor is “inexplicable,” Rachel Maddow said on MSNBC Monday night as part of a half-hour commercial-free monologue that painted the former politico as one in a line of fascists and would-be usurpers who have tried to take over America’s political process. McDaniel, who during her time as RNC head helped former President Donald Trump in his efforts to nullify the 2020 presidential election, said Maddow, “is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government.”

Update, with video: Joy Reid, caught on a hot mic last week seeming to criticize President Joe Biden by suggesting he was threatening to start “another f*cking war,” the MSNBC host appeared on ABC’s The View today and attempted to clarify her comment.
Asked by View co-host Sarah Haines whether the hot mic comment was criticizing Biden, Reid at first offered a joking “cute no comment” before expounding on the matter.
“I’m a Red Letter Christian,” she said, referring to the non-denominational social justice movement that emphasizes the actual words of Jesus – traditionally printed in red ink in Bibles. “I don’t believe in war, whether it’s the Governor in Texas literally trying to start another Civil War over an issue that his party could solve tomorrow – there’s literally a bill that they could pass and do the border issue – or whether it’s in the Middle East.

MSNBC host Joy Reid apologized to viewers after a hot mic caught her using the f-word during a segment on the border.
On Monday evening’s The ReidOut, Reid introduced a segment in which video was played of a speech in which President Joe Biden called for congressional passage of a border bill, despite former President Donald Trump’s efforts to scuttle such a deal.
The clips showed Biden saying that “if that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border now and I’d fix it quickly.” He also said that “Congress needs to get it done.”
Then, Reid could be heard saying, “starting another f—ing war.”
Reid then told viewers, “Still trying to kill the deal,” an apparent reference to Trump.

Joy Reid had a hot mic moment during MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” on Monday night and later apologized for her remarks, which included the f-bomb.
During a segment titled “Republicans take credit for stuff they voted against,” Reid said that the party ties “themselves into pretzels to do nothing for the American people for the sake of Donald Trump.”
“Case in point: fixing what they say is a crisis at the border, with Congressional negotiators continuing work on a bipartisan deal to tie border policy changes to funding for Ukraine,” she continued. “Over the weekend, President Biden said he’s ready to take action if Congress is serious about solving the border issue.”

MSNBC has pushed back against a Semafor report that it sidelined Muslim anchors Mehdi Hasan, Ayman Mohyeldin, and Ali Velshi while covering the Israel-Hamas war.
“We have and will continue to cover the barbaric terrorist attacks on defenseless civilians in Israel last weekend and the tragic war it has provoked thoroughly and in all their dimensions,” an NBCU News Group spokesperson told TheWrap on Monday.
A network source denied that Hasan, Velshi, and Mohyeldin were “benched” or “silenced” over their beliefs on the conflict, saying there was “no truth” to those reports.
Velshi has been reporting from the ground in Israel and served as anchor from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Sunday.
Mohyeldin has appeared on multiple MSNBC programs throughout the network’s coverage of the war. He was in the anchor chair from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and appeared Monday on “Katy Tur Reports.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid took aim at Greg Gutfeld on Friday after the Fox News host called for an American civil war and said elections don’t result in an effective means of governance.
Reid rightfully went personal on “The ReidOut,” pointing out that if such a war were to break out, Gutfeld would certainly not be a willing participant.
“Greg Gutfeld I’m sure lives in some sort of penthouse in Manhattan,” Reid said. “He’s not going to be out there shooting anyone. He’ll be on his yacht or whatever. You know, he’s like a Tucker Carlson. They are sort of playing at or cosplaying like tough guys.”
Gutfeld on Thursday compared the current state of national politics to the Civil War era, when the question of slavery pitted the Union against the Confederacy.

Joy Reid put a pin on Donald Trump’s state of mind Thursday, qualifying him as nothing short of delusional but not quite as a believer in time travel, instead saying his continued social-media ramblings place him firmly in the parallel “Stranger Things” universe of the Upside Down.
Reid, speaking in her monologue for her MSNBC show “The ReidOut,” said the twice-impeached and four-times indicted former president “seems convinced that he can make people believe the world is actually flat. His embrace of lies, conspiracy theories and alternative facts underscores more of his legal woes.”
Reid then broke down the day’s developments from Trump’s criminal case in Georgia, where Trump asked that his state election interference case be separated from his 18 codefendants, some of whom are seeking a speedy trial.
The Fulton County judge in the case, meanwhile, ruled cameras of all kinds would be allowed in the courtroom,...

CNN, whose brief foray into subscription streaming was snuffed out shortly after the close of the WarnerMedia-Discovery merger in April 2022, is officially getting real estate on Max.
A new offering, CNN Max, will be added to the streaming service in what Warner Bros. Discovery called an “open beta” on September 27. It will consist of a 24/7 stream pulled from the news network’s U.S. and international feeds, with a sprinkling of original fare, with user feedback welcomed. For many reasons, some having to do with contracts with pay-tv operators, it won’t be a full-over-the top version of linear CNN, and certain talent and new shows like the new 9 p.m. hour hosted by Kaitlan Collins will not be in the mix.
Wbd CEO David Zaslav hinted at the new venture during the company’s quarterly earnings call several weeks ago, saying news and sports make SVOD platforms “come alive.

You might call it CNN Headline News — for the streaming era.
Warner Bros. Discovery plans to unveil a 24/7 live-streamed news service called “CNN Max” on September 27, and indicated the outlet would focus initially on breaking news. Anchors including Jim Acosta, Rahel Solomon, Amara Walker, Fredricka Whitfield and Jim Sciutto have been given assignments, with Sciutto set to lead breaking news in the afternoons. Bianna Golodryga and Christiane Amanpour could also have roles, according to a person familiar with the situation.
CNN has fallen far behind its rivals when it comes to streaming, with Warner scuttling a nascent subscription-based streaming outlet, CNN+, last year. As the company recalibrated CNN’s strategy, however, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, ABC News and CBS News have all had opportunities to establish new programming for the broadband set, and to experiment while refining their brands in the space.

Warner Bros. Discovery is planning to launch new original programs from CNN that will stream on its Max streaming service, according to three people familiar with the matter. Jim Sciutto, Bianna Golodryga, Rahel Solomon and Christiane Amanpour are among the CNN journalists who have been tapped to take part in the effort, according to two of these people.
CNN and Max could make an announcement about the project as soon as Thursday, according to these people, and would likely provide greater detail. A spokeswoman for CNN declined to comment and a spokesman for Max declined to comment.

Reid, speaking to MSNBC viewers on “The ReidOut,” called out the racist requirements of Ron DeSantis’ Department of Education for what they were but went further, explaining the motivations behind them.
“They’re doing it because they want to raise a generation of people who will be conservative enough to give them their damn tax cuts, to give them the money they want and the deregulation they want,” Reid said. “And they’re terrified of young people, because young people already are woke — too late.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid took on two of Donald Trump’s most faithful scions Thursday in a segment for “The ReidOut,” saying threatening letters that Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance wrote to universities reflect an emboldened approach after the Supreme Court’s ruling that effectively struck down affirmative action in colleges.
Reid, in a conversation with activist and former president/director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Sherrilyn Ifill, drew a line connecting the language of the Supreme Court’s majority decision and the talking points of the late conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
Reid then pointed to what she called a direct outcome — letters that Miller, Trump’s former senior White House adviser, and Vance, the U.S. senator from Ohio who was endorsed by Trump, sent to law schools and top universities threatening them with repercussions if they attempted to subvert the ruling.

The U.S. Navy detected what sounded like an implosion off the North Atlantic coast around the time the OceanGate submersible lost communication with its mothership on Sunday, NBC reporter Tom Costello told Joy Reid on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” on Thursday. The report comes the same day the sub was confirmed to be destroyed by the U.S. Coast Guard, following a days-long search that captured worldwide media attention.
“On Sunday, the Navy detected what sounded, or was similar to, the sounds of an implosion or an explosion in the water about the time that that sub lost communication with the mothership,” Costello told Reid. “As you know, Joy, the Navy has microphones and sensors all across the North Atlantic, really to listen for Russian sub activity. It does appear that they may have picked up the implosion of the sub.”

Joy Reid has accused Republican leaders of using the U.S. debt ceiling as negotiating collateral for budget talks in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that “could plunge our nation off an economic cliff.”
Reid, in the opening segment Thursday night of her MSNBC show “The ReidOut,” compared the means by which House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the GOP group are negotiating the debt ceiling to a husband and wife using their credit-card bill for leverage in a fight over holiday spending.
Reid went so far as to call it a “Republican lie.”
“With just seven days ’til the United States could default on our debt, talks between Republicans and White House officials have yet to resolve the issue,” she said, setting up her jab. “But today, President Biden made a very important point.”

Joy Reid is a longtime critic of fired Fox News star Tucker Carlson, so it’s no shock that on Wednesday, she took some time at the top of her MSNBC show to talk about the latest bombshell revelation about him: A leaked text in which Carlson used a racist phrase and admitted to fantasizing about violence against his political enemies.
Mockingly addressing Carlson directly, Reid said, “it turns out you really are as repulsively racist as the guy that you once played on TV.”
But, she reminded viewers, the reveal shouldn’t come as a surprise, as Carlson’s “odd, 19th century eugenics talk” was heavily featured on a program she called, “the show of record for white grievance.”

“Americans buy millions of guns a month and keep buying more, feeding a booming industry that can’t market their bloody trade in other parts of the world where they have actual gun laws, so they pump all their resources into fostering American’s sick obsession, promoting not just guns but the reckless permission to use them — legally — on fellow Americans, with barely a second thought,” Reid said.
She then went for the vugular, mocking gun-loving right-wing conspiracy theorists by wielding one of their favorite refrains.

Matt Gaetz, 40, may have met his political match in a liberal, social-media savvy teen activist from Texas.
On Saturday, at an event for an organization that advocates for conservative values on high school, college, and university campuses, the U.S. Congressman said the following:
“Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.”
He continued, “These people are odious from the inside out. They’re like 5’2″, 350 pounds.”
The comments garnered a lot of media attention, including a Newsmax piece that Gaetz retweeted to his 1.4 million Twitter followers with a photo of liberal activist Olivia Julianna, who’s 19 and with a group called Gen Z for Change, with the words “Dander raised.”

Update, 7 Pm Pt: Gavin Newsom indicated that he would appoint an African American woman to the U.S. Senate if Dianne Feinstein retires.
“We have multiple names in mind, and the answer is yes,” Newsom told Joy Reid as he appeared The ReidOut.
