On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, Big Brother is watching. While 50,000 U.S. troops are being deployed to Iran to fight a fake war on behalf of Bibi the Butcher, another war is raging here at home. That war? The war for your data. The AI "broligarchy" is creating a mass surveillance state that grows larger and more pervasive everyday. And no, that isn't conspiratorial thinking, but the very real reality of the unchecked power tech CEOs are amassing under our current regime.

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, happy No King's Day Eve! As we watch our country devolve deeper and deeper into autocracy, it has become more vital than ever that we raise our voices loudly. End the war, end the attacks on our rights, and release those damn Epstein Files! But maybe you aren't terribly convinced of the value of events such as No Kings. Well if you'll indulge us, Joy and our guests give you the rundown on everything that's at stake and the role protests play in the fight for freedom.

Jaylani Hussein, civil rights leader fighting Islamophobia and organizing in Minnesota. Robbie Jones, analyst on Christian nationalism and religion in politics. Paul Rieckhoff, veteran and founder focused on military policy. Nana Gyamfi, civil rights attorney on ICE deployments and surveillance. Ed Markey, senator working on AI and civil rights legislation. They debate ICE in airports, AI surveillance and privacy, religious nationalism, voter mobilization, and military rhetoric.

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, ICE is being deployed in 13 major airports across the US. This, as TSA workers are still not being paid. This move alongside the push by republicans to privatize the TSA spells out worrying signs for anyone traveling into, or out of the United States. But hey! At least the likes of Peter Theil can get richer.

Tonight on The Joy Reid Show, Bibi wants boots on the ground. American boots to be exact. And since the United States seems to have taken on the mantle of Israel's personal errand boy, things may just escalate to that point. In our second hour, though, we cover a rare bit of good news. A win for the First Amendment as AfroMan, of "But I Got High" fame, won the defamation case filed against him by some deputies who were none too happy with a little song he wrote involving lemon pound cake. AfroMan joins us tonight to discuss and you don't want to miss it.
