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.
