Dr. Anthony Fauci explains the new, shorter CDC quarantine guidelines

Tiffany Cross in for Joy Reid leads The ReidOut tonight with the CDC releasing new guidelines shortening the recommended isolation and quarantine period for asymptomatic people with Covid-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert and chief medical advisor to President Biden, joins The ReidOut to discuss. Then, as the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection anniversary approaches, many believe that the riot was more than just a failed coup. Long before the Big Lie that inspired that fateful attack, democracy was already failing, experts say. Next, we turn to the thirteen states that have already restricted race-conscious education through laws or other measures this year, as the disingenuous attack by many in the GOP on so-called critical race theory continues. Finally, we explore the historic launch of the James Webb Telescope, which -- if all goes as planned -- could answer questions about the beginning of the universe, and whether there are any other planets out there that are able to sustain life. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
