Summary

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. We also break down Trump's clear envy of the beloved late actor Rob Reiner, and the growing MAGA rift after he attacked him in death. We also premier our new monthly segment on countering white Christian nationalism with our guest, Robby Jones. In the lead up to the midterms it's crucial that we understand how to counter the hold white Christian nationalism if we are ever to win our country back in 2028.
