Nightmare on Our Streets - Halloween Special | The Joy Reid Show LIVE! Oct 31, 2025

On tonight's Halloween edition of the show, we talk about all of the nightmares facing our country right now, from federal agents wearing not just masks but scary costume masks while terrorizing our brown neighbors, to Trump's determination to restart nuclear weapons testing. And in hour two, we address JD Vance's weird failure to defend his wife and their interracial marriage (not to mention her religion), and his apparent dream that she will convert to Christianity. And we address the very strange, "nostalgia" images the Department of Labor is using to promote itself on social media. Its giving 1930s Germany... Joining the show are star TikTok content creator  @harryjsisson  ... culture commentator  @toure  ...  @mediamatters4america  president Angelo Carusone. Plus author Haitian-American author Jenna Chrisphonte joins us to talk about her book Talc, which dives into the story of zombies in Haitian culture.
