The Joy Reid Show

VIDEO: 
 
In this episode, Joy talks with Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett about the Black members who actually delivered accountability on the Epstein files, and what she heard from the brave Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell survivors who came to Capitol Hill this week. Next, Joy speaks with Maurice Mitchell, leader of the Working Families Party, about the surprising head of the CIA contractor Palantir, which is erecting a national surveillance society in the U.S. that will give a handful of billionaires control over much of our lives. Then, Christian Smalls returns to TJRS to share his plans to take his fight to hold Israel accountable for its military forces thwarting a Gaza aid trip for starving Gaza Palestinians, and for allegedly assaulting him after detaining him and 19 of his fellow activists.
