About this episode
Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, this past weekend has given us numerous tragedies. We cover the shootings at Brown University, and at a Hanukah party in Sydney, Australia. Our guest Abbas Alawieh, who is running for State Senate in Michigan, joins us to discuss his campaign, as well as to respond to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's disturbing comments about the Australia shooting. On the subject of Islamophobia, we sit down with our partner in trolling the right: Wajahat Ali, who once again lays waste to white supremacy and the mediocrity behind it. We also cover the shocking and heartbreaking murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele in their LA home. We are joined by actor John Cusack, who shares his memories of Rob Reiner and the legacy he leaves behind. All of this and more tonight on TJRS.
