Fear of a Zohran Planet | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

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.
