The Joy Reid Show

On this episode of the Joy Reid Show, Michael Cohen joins us to talk Trump, Epstein, and what he says is Trump's inexplicable failure to get himself out of the Epstein mess. Next, Joy is joined by Tennesseee State Rep Justin Jones, who was locked out of a hearing on a plan by Tennessee Republicans to hand over land in Jones' district to Elon Musk to build a Tesla super-tunnel, regardless of the impact on the community. Then, Peter Beinart joined to talk about the starvation of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli government, and U.S. complicity, even as Israel detains U.S. citizens who tried to deliver food to the beleaguered strip.Subscribe to Michael Cohen's Substack here:https://therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/Subscribe to the Beinart Notebook here:https://peterbeinart.substack.com/Find Rep.

In this episode of The Joy Reid Show, Joy proposes the following truth that she believes: the U.S. and Israel are the two biggest human rights abusers in the world right now; given the abuse and terrorizing of migrants by the Trump regime and the starvation and genocide Benjamin Netanyahu's government is unleashing on the Palestinian people -- in Gaza AND the occupied West Bank.
