Hey. Hey. Okay. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. Happy Thursday, Jr. and welcome to the Joy Reid show. Big up to the chats and everybody watching on YouTube, on Substack, on Facebook, and of course our

adorable little Twitchies on Twitch, we love you guys, as well as everybody that's listening to

the audio podcast on the platforms like Apple and Spotify, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Wherever you're listening, be sure to hit that like and subscribe button also hit

share to help spread the word and help us with the algorithm.

We appreciate it.

As always, also, if you hit the little notification thingy on YouTube, you will know whenever we go live and you want to have that happen.

So let's do a little bit of housekeeping.

This Friday is going to be our team TJRS members-only chat for our YouTube and substack premium subscribers.

So if you are going to be watching the show on Friday, plan to stay on for after hours.

The official cocktail is security.

So let me remind you of the ingredients.

It's one part champagne, one part cognac, but a good kind of cognate. Don't get that cheap stuff. Also, a dram of St. Germain, liqueur, and then either a Marasino cherry or a dash of grenadine for color. And voila. You can also go for a non-alcohol option or whatever your favor is. If you're going to have the alcohol option, I would recommend doing the Zbiotic first. I'm just saying it's like now part of my lifestyle. It's not just because they're a sponsor. I'm serious. I really actually do use it. It's really important. But anyway, either whether you're going to do non-alcohol or alcohol option, whatever your fave is, just come on in. We can talk whatever you guys want. We can talk about history month. We can talk about fighting the regime. We can talk whatever your little heart's desire. It's going to be you, me,

and the other TJRST member. So be sure to stay on after hours for that. Let me refresh my page

over here so I can make sure that I can see the chat over here on this side. I've got three

screens going, you guys. I get a lot going on all at the same time.

Are you multitasking again? I am multitasking because I want to see the chat. I love seeing what everyone is saying. And this is not letting me see it. So I'm going to go ahead and pretend like I can see everybody. But I love all of you, even if I can't see everything you're saying. Also, a very exciting announcement, something I've been cooking up in the lab.

I've been thinking up in the lab.

I've been thinking about this a lot doing a TJRS Insiders feature, a substack premium feature,

which would be a weekly one hour live every Thursday, offering some inside access and scubola

on these upcoming elections, doing like deep dives and digging into that behind the scenes, polling strategy, the stuff for the real nerd. This is like super nerd stuff. So stay tuned for that because that's going to be coming up next month. So that's going to be something in the premium world that we're going to be doing. If you really care about the minutia of this election stuff in the lead up to the midterms,

you're going to want to get down with that. So we'll have more news on that coming.
