On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, ICE is escalating the chaos in Minnesota, in a display that looks not dissimilar to the slave catchers of the Jim Crow South. Americans are anxiously waiting to see if Congress will renew the subsidies on The Affordable Care Act. And Trump encourages protesting Iranians to take back their country by force.... ironic. Our guests for tonight's show are author and lawyer Leah Litman, Dr. Vin Gupta, and writer and activist Trita Parsi. --- SHOW NOTES: Leah Litman Twitter: @leahlitman IG: @profleahlitman Book: https://shop.thejoyreidshow.com/products/lawless-how-the-supreme-court-runs-on-conservative-grievance-fringe-theories-and-bad-vibes Dr. Vin Gupta IG and Youtube: @vinguptaofficial Trita Parsi Twitter: @tparsi---THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR: MOSH Head to moshlife.com/JOY to save 20% off plus FREE shipping on the Best sellers Trial Pack or the NEW plant-based trial pack. --- 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 The Joy Reid Show we focus in on the horrific murder of Minneapolis resident, 37-year-old Renee Good, by ICE agents this past Wednesday. We also take a look at the response by the Trump Regime and it's attempts to smear Good's character and exonerate her killer. We cover newly released footage of the murder and discuss where we are as a country that this, alongside the staggering 32 other killings by ICE so far, has been allowed to happen, and what it means going forward. Our guests tonight are: David Corn, Jill Garvey, Eli Mystal, Wajahat Ali, and Lev Parnas.

On tonight's episode of TJRS we open with the horrific shooting of a Minnesota woman by ICE. We take a look at the ongoing situation in Venezuela, and the the Trump regime's growing taste for colonialist power.

On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, we reflect upon the 5 year anniversary of the insurrection that took place on our nation's capital on January 6th, 2021. Our guests, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn, and Daniel Hodges all of whom were present on that faithful day defending our democracy, join us in that conversation. After that, Joy puts on her professors cap as she covers the current situation in Venezuela and reminds us that history has a funny way of repeating itself. We also sit down to answer the question: where does all of this lead us? Our guest, author and Emmy-Award winning journalist, Paola Ramos gives her perspective on the situation. Following her is Reverend Bishop Barber to lead us in our Moral Monday. All that and more tonight on TJRS!

On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, we are ringing in the new year right! Zohran Mamdani has officially been sworn in as mayor of NYC and we sit down with our guests Wajahat Ali and Tamika Mallory to discuss this historic event. After that we return the alleged daycare center scams being run in Minnesota. There is a lot of false reporting being done to paint the state's Somali-American community as all being scammers, but Joy cuts through the not so concealed racism to get to the truth. In the second hour we are joined by friend of the show Rick Wilson to discuss not only what's going on in Minnesota, but the public emergence of Jack Smith, as well as 47's destruction of both the Kennedy Center and the east wing of the White House. And finally we end the show on a surprise Moment of Joy.

On tonight's episode of the Joy Reid Show, it has been a very busy week in Trump's America. The Kash Patell FBI's bumbling incompetence is on full display. They've allegedly found the shooter responsible for the horrific attack on Brown's campus... six days later. But this has raised even more questions than it answers. Weirdo Erika Kirk decided to take a jab at Joy this week, and threatened her with a hug and a touch on the head. Gross. And Donald Trump is giving himself a couple of gifts for Christmas, such as an attempt at renaming the Kennedy Center to the Trump Center and gutting Obamacare as has been his dream. In return he is gifting America: bread and circuses. The Hunger Games is officially real, folks, but will it be enough to distract the MAGA base? You know what Americans aren't going to get this holiday season though (in addition to affordable living costs, fair wages, and healthcare)? The Epstein Files! We sit down with Jeffrey Epstein survivor and advocate for women’s healing, awareness, & empowerment, Marina Lacerda and get her reaction to the disappointing news that the regime is defying the law and not releasing the full Epstein files. We ask her how she and the other survivors of Epstein's horrific crimes want justice to be done. After that, we sit down with Lev Parnas, to talk about the tell-all Vanity Fair interview with Susie Wiles, as well as to ask him why he thinks Trump and his cronies are so determined to keep the Epstein Files under wraps. And that isn't all! Representative Ayanna Pressley and comedienne Luenell join the show to discuss the news of the night. And Luenell even gives us a little insight on how to deal with toxic family relationships this holiday season. Lastly, our Moment of Joy is another hilarious and festive Tiktok from the self-proclaimed Heifer-ologist, Mrs. Mattie J. All of this tonight on TJRS.

On tonight's episode of the Joy Reid Show, we unpack the wild, blunt interview White House chief of staff Susie Wiles gave Vanity Fair and the hapless mess that is the FBI under Podcast Kash Patel, even as the Brown University mass shooter remains at large. We also break down Trump's clear envy of the beloved late actor Rob Reiner, and the growing MAGA rift after he attacked him in death. We also premier our new monthly segment on countering white Christian nationalism with our guest, Robby Jones. In the lead up to the midterms it's crucial that we understand how to counter the hold white Christian nationalism if we are ever to win our country back in 2028.

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.
