The Joy Reid Show

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, the midterm madness is in full swing. Republicans are clearly on the back foot because they're already attempting to tamper with election results. That alongside some of the most vile attacks on their political opponents we've seen, tells us exactly how scared they are for a potential blue wave. Meanwhile young people around the world are taking to the streets. Dubbed the Gen Z protests, the rage towards the dwindling quality of life available for people everywhere has finally boiled over. Some other topics for the night: what is going on with the...

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, If you want a perfect distillation of modern Republican politics, look no further than Vivek Ramaswamy attacking his opponent, Amy Acton, for her childhood sexual abuse... yeah. Meanwhile with no policy wins to tout the rest of the party is going all in on anti-Trans fearmongering. Will that be enough to pull them over the finish line? We'll see. Over in Mississippi we follow up on the story of Kohen Wiley, the 1-year-old infant who was shot and killed in a Walmart parking lot. As well as the ongoing genocide in The Democratic...

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, there is something deeply disturbing about billionaires, perhaps some of the biggest beneficiaries of government assistance, doing every single thing in their power to not only rob working folks of any aid they are entitled to, but to also try and convince us that we don't need it. Well we here at TJRS strongly disagree. The rampant thievery that has taken place this last two years cannot stand, and if you agree with that then join us and our incredible guests as we talk strategy.

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, It's hard to believe that three years have passed since the genocide in Gaza began. What started on October 7, 2023 as a deadly attack by Hamas against a group of young Israeli's attending a concert, has since ballooned into unspeakable amounts of death and devastation, alongside massive changes in the media, as well as a shift the relationship between Israel and the world.

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, we start with our coverage of recent election news, including Dumpy's ongoing attempts to game the mail-in voting system. As well as, the Republicans new campaign to smear Democrats as weird... Fellas? Mayhaps you should refrain from speaking when your own side includes actual, literal, Nazis, hmm?

But, we can't have that unity unless some very important issues get addressed first. After that we cover...

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, it is the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York City, the Pentagon, and Shankesville, Pennsylvania. A lot has changed in that time, and sadly much of it has been for the worse. The fomenting of rampant Islamophobia, endless wars in the Middle East, and endless surveillance on the American People, as well as the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and of course ICE, which has been used to terrorize both undocumented migrants and US citizens. The state of the U.S. ain't great y'all! And the moldy...

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, history doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme, huh? Now it may shock and confuse you to hear Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump in any way compared, but hear us out!
