MAGA Cancel Culture | The Joy Reid Show LIVE! Sep 22, 2025

In this special two-hour of the Joy Reid Show, Joy discusses the importance of independent media, highlights the upcoming interview with Kamala Harris, and delves into the concerning public health policies under RFK Jr.'s leadership. The conversation with Dr. Peter Hotez explores the impact of anti-vaccine policies, the role of state officials, and the organized disinformation campaigns affecting public health. Joy also addresses the Epstein investigation, the inaction of Merrick Garland, and the implications of media censorship and cancel culture. Congressman Robert Garcia joins to discuss oversight investigations and the need for accountability in politics. In hour two, Joy and her guests, former Washington Post global editor Karen Attiah, comedienne-activist and The Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead, and anti-racism educator Tim Wise discuss the pervasive issue of white supremacy and its implications for journalism and society. They explore the role of media in reporting on violence, particularly the statistics surrounding white male perpetrators. The discussion also touches on the influence of corporate interests in journalism, the fragility of white male victimhood, and the troubling cult of personality surrounding figures like Charlie Kirk. The guests emphasize the importance of advocacy and teaching in journalism, as well as the need for honest conversations about race and violence in America.For a copy of Science Under Siege by Peter Hotez and Michael E.
