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.
