Fight Night: SCOTUS, ICE & Home Depot | The Joy Reid Show LIVE! Oct 15, 2025

The conversation delves into the historical significance of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the current legal challenges it faces, particularly in the context of a Supreme Court case involving Louisiana's redistricting efforts. Joy Reid interviews Janai Nelson, who argued for the preservation of voting rights before the Supreme Court Wednesday morning. With April Albright of Black Voters Matter Fund, Joy discusses the grassroots efforts to defy the Roberts court. The dialogue also touches on the cultural legacy of D'Angelo, reflecting on the impact of black artists on American culture and the importance of health awareness in the black community. Joy and Ashley Allison discuss the tragic, early death of neo-soul icon D'angelo, the evolution of hip hop across generations, and the significance of black media ownership (Ashley now owns The Root.)In hour two, Joy discusses the revelations of racism within a major young Republican organization and why conservative media stooge Stephen A. Smith will never win right wing Republicans' love. Next, Joy and journalist Tara Palmeri delve into the Epstein files, the soft treatment of Ghislaine Maxwell, and the financial networks surrounding the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The show closes with an update on ICE violence throughout the country, including the arrest of a costumed comedian for mocking the masked feds. And we end with a Moment of Joy from New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.To support LDF click here:https://www.naacpldf.org/To support Black Voters Matter Fund click here:https://blackvotersmatterfund.org/You can find Tara Palmeri's journalism here:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tara+palmeri #supremecourt #scotus #vra #votingrightsact #votingrights #blackvotersmatter #epsteinfiles #trumpregime #ice #epsteinfiles #occupiedamerica ABOUT JOY REID: Joy-Ann Lomena Reid (AKA Joy Reid) is a best-selling American author, political journalist and TV host.
