Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, this past weekend has given us numerous tragedies. We cover the shootings at Brown University, and at a Hanukah party in Sydney, Australia. Our guest Abbas Alawieh, who is running for State Senate in Michigan, joins us to discuss his campaign, as well as to respond to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's disturbing comments about the Australia shooting. On the subject of Islamophobia, we sit down with our partner in trolling the right: Wajahat Ali, who once again lays waste to white supremacy and the mediocrity behind it. We also cover the shocking and heartbreaking murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele in their LA home. We are joined by actor John Cusack, who shares his memories of Rob Reiner and the legacy he leaves behind. All of this and more tonight on TJRS.

On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, Jasmine Crockett is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Texas, and Donald Trump is losing his mind. We sit down tonight to talk with Representative Crockett about the attacks on her character, her goals for if she is elected, and why a Democrat winning the Texas seat is actually not as far fetched as people think. We also discuss the Paramount/Skydance take over of CBS and how an anchor on the network seems to have benefited from calling a black journalist a terrorist. Furthermore, we consider what is at stake if Paramount then takes over CNN. Speaking of allegedly unwinnable races, Charles Booker comes on with us tonight to talk bout his bid for Glitchy Mitchy's seat in Kentucky. Lastly, our moment of joy brings us a little holiday cheer from a person we dearly miss. All this and more, tonight on TJRS.

Tonight on TJRS: Trump tries to pardon some turkeys. The key word there being "tries" as it seems old Dementia Don was having a hard time staying on topic (though really, what else is new). Do you know what Donald Trump has successfully pardoned, though? Criminals! Specifically more than 1600 January 6ers, and more than 60 crooks and scammers, several of whom seem to be connected financially or politically to ... Donald Trump. Meanwhile there's trouble in MAGA land. It seems Candace Owens and Alex Jones are none too happy with their orange cult leader. The reasons why? Charlie Kirk and Marjorie "Bad Built" Taylor Greene... Next, we take an extensive deep dive into Peter Theil, co-founder of Paypal and Palentir, and the man behind the curtains of much of the MAGA madness we are seeing today; not to mention the puppet-master who built JD Vance. Independent documentary producer, Philip Damico, who runs the YouTube channel,  @Volksgeist  joins us in that conversation. Then in hour two, we talk about Trumps latest bout of insulting and degrading female journalists. We cover the life of the recently passed Mother Viola Fletcher with Damario Solomon-Simmons, attorney for the Tulsa three. LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, jumps on to talk to us about her "We Ain't Buying It" campaign. And we share our Moment of Joy: a clip of Joy's recent appearance on the I’ve Had It podcast with Jennifer Welch and Pumps. --- Justice for Greenwood Justiceforgreenwood.org Joy's appearance on I've Had It: Bubba BJ-gate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TScEqjCIkRI LaTosha Browns op-ed: "We're not buying what these retailers are selling https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2025/11/26/black-friday-cyber-monday-boycott-economic-blackout/87445997007/ WATCH: The Antichrist is Here -- The Story of Peter Thiel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAeTKyY3LB4 The We Ain't Buyin It campaign https://weaintbuyingit.com/ ---- ABOUT JOY REID: Joy-Ann Lomena Reid (AKA Joy Reid) is a best-selling American author, political journalist and TV host.

On tonight's episode of TJRS, in a welcome bit of good news, a federal judge has thrown out the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio says the quiet part out loud, seeming to admit that the Trump "peace deal" for Ukraine was written by Putin himself. MTG continues to try and sell us her rebrand but, before you allow yourself to believe she's had some kind of come to Jesus, there's very compelling evidence that all of this is just one big money making grift. Christina Greer, Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University, Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campus, and co-host of the FAQ NYC politics podcast and Rick Wilson, political and media strategist and co-founder of  @lincoln-project-djsbsw  join us to discuss. Next on the show, what's going on with the US's growing military interest in Nigeria and Venezuela? Is it oil? More oil? Or, and stick with us here, OIL? Kica Matos, president of the National Immigration Law Center, who recently wrote "The Danger of Trump War Threats" in Time magazine joins the conversation. In hour two we discuss the recent Twitter update that has exposed yet another ongoing grift. Many supposed pro-Maga accounts are being run by individuals in developing countries looking to stoke American culture war nonsense in order to make a quick buck. Meanwhile on the homefront, Bishop William Barber and Repairers of the Breech are in North Carolina doing on the ground activism trying to fight for democracy and against fascism. Rev. Mark Thompson, host of Make it Plain, joins us to discuss. State Rep. Aftyn Behn, who is running for Tennessee's 7th congressional district, is also on tonight to discuss her electoral bid. Lastly our Moment of Joy goes out to the President of South Africa who closed out the recent G20 summit in the funnest way possible! TJRS would also like to share our condolences on the recent passing of Mother Viola Fletcher, one of the last living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. May she rest in peace.

On tonight’s episode of TJRS, Donald Trump calls for the deaths of 6 military veteran members of the House and Senate. Their crime? The “Seditious” act… of making a PSA reminding fellow military troops that they need not obey unlawful orders; just like the Uniform Code of Military Justice states. We also discuss Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani’s visit to the White House and his masterful handling of 47 who in a shocking turn of events seems to be all gung ho for the man he called a “Communist threat” for months. Dr.John Gartner, psychologist, psychotherapist, author and activist who has been warning for years about Trump’s cognitive state and dangerous personality disorder, and journalist, Trump biographer and professor David Cay Johnston join us to discuss. Next, Randi Weingarten, president of the AFT, along with Rick Lucas, Ohio Nurses Association President & Executive Director join us to discuss the dismantling of the Department of Education as well as the federal deprofessionalization of Nurses. In hour two we bring on Lev Parnas to discuss Trump’s so-called peace deal for Ukraine, and the connection to the Epstein files and Russian kompramat. Then, we discuss ICE’s ongoing terrorization of brown people, as well as the arrest of one ICE officer for soliciting sex from a minor. Kimberlé Crenshaw, pioneering legal scholar who helped create Critical Race Theory, and executive director of the African American Policy Forum, joins us for this conversation. Following that, Devan and Karess of the People’s Sick Day and Mass Blackout Movement come on to discuss their upcoming events from November 25th to December 2nd. And last but not least, our moment of joy goes to @nola_jettie_nu of Instagram and TikTok, whose son, Resse, had some choice words for a lady who dared to disparage his mama’s edges.

On this episode, we celebrate the victory by Calvin Duncan, who appeared on the show last week to announce his run for Orleans County clerk of the court, following a long incarceration for a crime he did not commit. Next, Joy spoke with Eric Swalwell about the ongoing Epstein files catastrophe Donald Trump and his regime have created for themselves. We also spoke with Nadine Smith who laid our her vision as the new head of Color of Change (http://colorofchange.org/). In hour two, we tackle the healthcare crisis as Republicans refuse to extend the Obamacare premium support subsidies, with Dr. Rob Davidson, the Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Health Care; and we dive back into the Epstein Files with friend of the show Lev Parnas.

On tonight’s episode of The Joy Reid Show, we are joined by Representative Adelita Grijalva to discuss the vote to release the Epstein Files, which passed the House, Senate and was signed by Donald Trump today, and right wing Georgia congresswoman Margorie Taylor Green’s seeming come to Jesus rebrand. To aid in this discussion we are joined by the fabulous Jennifer Welch, co-host of  @ivehaditpodcast . In the second hour of the show we are joined by Texas State Representative Jolanda Jones to talk about the federal court issuing a preliminary injunction yesterday blocking the 2025 Texas redistricted maps from going into effect. Afterwards former Metro PD officer and January 6 hero Michael Fanone of the  @TheMichaelFanoneShow  to discuss tomorrow’s “Remove the Regime” rally. Then we bring on former ABC reporter turned fellow independent journalist  @TerryMoranJournalist to discuss the disgusting and often bullying way Trump talks to the journalists who are sent to ask him questions, particularly the overtly misogynistic and degrading way he speaks to women.

On Friday's TJRS, Joy breaks down House Republicans' Epstein email dump, which happens to contain a lot of incriminating details that point to Epstein seeking to leverage his past relationship with Trump to boost his influence with world leaders. And she breaks down the strange timeline coincidences -- from Helsinki to a strange letter Epstein sent to himself and Michael Wolffe months before he died. We also talk about an important race in Mississippi on Saturday where a man who spent his 20s, 30s and much of his 40s in Louisianas notorious Angola prison for a crime he didn't commit, only to get himself freed with the help of the  ⁨@innocenceprojectNY⁩ . He has written a great book about his ordeal and is now running for Clerk of the Court in Mississippi to right the wrongs done to people like him. And Joy hung out on the show with her favorite morning show host,  ⁨@thestephaniemillershow6996⁩  host Stephanie Miller. And we introduced our audience to a great new movie, Sarah's Oil, based on an incredible true story, and the star of the film, 12-year-old actress Naya Desir-Johnson, who was our "moment of joy."You can support Calvin Duncan's campaign at https://calvinforclerk.com/Learn more about Sarah's Oil and rewatch the trailer at https://www.sarahsoilfilminspires.com/And keep up with The Stephanie Miller show at https://www.stephaniemiller.com/And check out Stephanie's and Calvin's books at shop.joyreid.comPlease support our sponsor:The government is pouring billions of taxpayer dollars into enforcement while slashing funding for legal aid.

On this episode of The Joy Reid Show, Congress returns! And some Democrats get straight to business. We highlight two members who succinctly broke down the Republican menace: congressmen Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and The Big Neguse, Joe Neguse of Colorado. We discuss the Republican Party and their president's withholding of SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans to hold hungry people hostage to make healthcare costs skyrocket. And we talk about the resistance, and how it's building. We also talk Epstein Files, which saw two big releases on Wednesday, including damning emails that show that Trump knew exactly what the notorious pedophile was up to. Our guests: Latosha Brown of Black Voters Matter Fund, Lev Parnas, who brought the real tea on Trump's fear of Epstein and the gangster oligarchy he's building, and Ezra Levin of Indivisible.

In this profound and revealing special episode, Joy Reid sits down with CNN anchor Abby Phillip to discuss her new book, "A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power." They dive deep into the untold story of Reverend Jackson's groundbreaking 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, exploring how his unapologetically progressive platform—championing Palestinian statehood, reparations, and economic justice—radically reshaped the Democratic Party. Phillip reveals how Jackson's strategic genius, from leveraging black voter blocs to changing delegate rules, directly made Barack Obama's presidency possible a generation later. The conversation also tackles Jackson's complex relationship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the media, and his role as a coalition builder. And the two discuss Abby's CNN show and the sometimes wild, sometimes performative, and always provocative conversations she oversees as the host and moderator. This is an essential history lesson on the man who taught Democrats how to fight and the enduring fight for Black political power.

Our guests are Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party, and Trump expert, journalist and author David Cay Johnston. In hour two, we uncover the shocking truth of what the Biden administration knew about the truth of Israel's genocide in Gaza and when they knew it, with Huffpo reporter Akbar Shahid Ahmed, and we close out with some rare good news from the right wing Supreme Court, with National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign Brandon Wolf.

On this episode, we deconstruct Democrats' huge 2025 Election Day, in which they swept races from Mississippi to Ohio to Virginia, New Jersey to Detroit, Michigan and Zohran Mamdani's landmark win in New York City. And we dive into the indefensible lack of Muslim representation on mainstream news networks on the night American Muslims made history in multiple states. But we begin by talking Trump's epic corruption with Judd Legum of popular.info. Our own TJRS producer, Nida Khan tells her personal story, which made Mamdani's victory so poignant to her. In hour two, international journalist Rula Jebreal and civil rights leader Maya Wiley break down the history that Mamdani made, and the lessons the media and Democrats can learn from it.

What's the scariest issue facing America today? Is it ICE terrorizing neighborhoods and tackling brown children and their fathers on the way to school? Is it our senile wannabe fuhrer wandering lost in front of Japanese dignitaries? The cutting of SNAP benefits amidst the still ongoing government shutdown, leaving thousands of Americans starving and without pay? Is it Project 2025 and all the ways it plans to turn the United States into another Russia? NOPE! It's the brown, Muslim immigrant who wants to be Mayor of NYC! Zohran Mamdani continues to be the Democratic Socialist boogie man haunting Republicans AND the Democrats. Tonight on TJRS we are joined by our friend in triggering the right: Wajahat Ali as well as Rep Andre Carson to discuss the not so subtle Islamaphobia and racism that underpins much of the hand-wringing about a potential Mamdani Mayoral term. We are also joined by Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey to discuss the ravages Trump's ending of SNAP benefits is doing to American families. Followed by representatives Ro Khanna, and Jonathan Jackson to discuss the racist gerrymandering of red states and the potential passing of Prop 50. Next, Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, followed by Jordan Wood of Maine both of whom are running in Democratic primaries for U.S. Senate join us talk about a wide range of issues including tax cuts vs healthcare, the Nazi-esque tattoo of another Maine primary candidate, the racist attacks against Rep Krishnamoorthi lobbed by people on the right, and what changes are needed in the way the Democratic Party operates. Finally, all of this culminates in a very cute and fuzzy (and much needed) moment of Joy! All of this tonight on The Joy Reid Show. SPONSORS: Tonight's sponsor is Defending Our Neighbors Fund.

On tonight's Monday episode of TJRS, we open on the latest person on Trump's indictment "hit list", Jack Smith. We then sit down and talk with Congresswoman LaMonica McIver about her pending DOJ case and malicious prosecution. As well as her fight to take care of her constituents in the midst of the administration's systematic destruction of social safety nets like health care and SNAP. But, hey! At least billionaire Timothy Mellon can donate $130 million to our troops to head of any type of military coup. We move on then to discuss Joy's proposal that Donald J Trump is not such a wholly different creature than his Republican predecessor George "Dubya" Bush. We go over Bush's many crimes, some of which you may have forgotten, and in doing so look at the many ways in which the right's playbook never really changes. It only escalates. Speaking of the playbook, it's being made increasingly clear that the orange oligarch has every intention of violating the constitution and snatching himself a third term. Meanwhile his handlers attempt to sell this flagrant demolition of our democracy with religion. Specifically the Anti-Christ... hm. And finally for tonight's moment of Joy, early voting has begun in NYC and we hear a rousing speech from the hopeful future Mayor, Zohran Mamdani. --- Shoutout to our sponsors starting with The Tamsen Show, which you can listen to new episodes of every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.

In this in-depth "Basement Series" interview, Joy Reid sits down with former Congresswoman Cori Bush for a powerful and personal conversation about her time in "The Squad," the monumental forces that worked to oust her, and why she's running to reclaim her seat. Cori opens up about the $15 million Apac-backed campaign that defeated her, revealing the direct threats she received for advocating a Gaza ceasefire and the pressure from within her own party to stay silent. She details her complicated relationship with Wesley Bell, who assured her he wouldn't run against her before a pro-Israel-backed primary challenge. Bush also addresses the DOJ investigation into her husband and security services, her activism rooted in the Ferguson uprising, and the urgent need for a Democratic Party that fights unapologetically for the poor and marginalized. This is a raw look at the realities of power, money, and resistance in modern American politics.

In this bonus mini-episode: self-described racist groyper Nick Fuentes turns out to be right about one thing: Trump and Republicans are playing white Americans for suckers."
