On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, we are ringing in the new year right! Zohran Mamdani has officially been sworn in as mayor of NYC and we sit down with our guests Wajahat Ali and Tamika Mallory to discuss this historic event. After that we return the alleged daycare center scams being run in Minnesota. There is a lot of false reporting being done to paint the state's Somali-American community as all being scammers, but Joy cuts through the not so concealed racism to get to the truth.
In the second hour we are joined by friend of the show Rick Wilson to discuss not only what's going on in Minnesota, but the public emergence of Jack Smith, as well as 47's destruction of both the Kennedy Center and the east wing of the White House. And finally we end the show on a surprise Moment of Joy.
