Chapter 1: What are the initial reactions to RFK Jr. and Kid Rock's video?
All right, we are so happy today to be joined by Joy Reid, who is fabulous and smart. And so I wanted to talk to her about some really serious voting issues, but we have to start, Joy, and thank you for being here. Thank you so much for having me. So much fun to see you. Okay, we have to start with this ridiculous video of RFK and Kid Rock. And you said you haven't seen it. No.
So I want your reactions to this because it is unbelievable that this is someone in charge of health of the United States of America. Here we go. Let's see it.
Chapter 2: How does the video reflect on RFK Jr.'s credibility as a health advisor?
Secretary and Kennedy and Kid Rock's rock out workout, if you're listening. These two men are the biggest bozos. RFK is working out as is Kid Rock. Both take their shirts off. He's in his jeans, changing exercise in a sauna room. Are those flip flops? Yeah, flip flops. RFK just jumps in a cold plunge with his jeans on. And now they're toasting whole milk in what looks to be some type of hot tub.
What a bunch of bozos.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of vaccine skepticism in today's society?
I feel like I can't unsee that and I'm gonna see it in my nightmares when I try to go to sleep tonight. Ew, gross, yuck. I mean, first of all, is that the alternative to getting vaccinated?
That's what I was gonna say. There's a measles outbreak and you're getting in a cold plunge in jeans? Thank you.
jeans and flip-flops and ew, and I don't wanna ever see those two men with their shirts off ever, ever, ever, ever. I mean, doesn't RFK do, didn't he admit to like snorting Coke off of a dirty toilet seat?
Yes, to prove he wasn't a germaphobe, which I'm just like, shut up. You are giving health advice. Pregnant women are panicked about Tylenol. Like it's unbelievable to me, the people that Trump has put in positions of power, But this one has such dire consequences. I mean, they all do. But like, you see, I went in and got a mammogram the other day, Joy. There was a big sign.
Beware, there's a measles outbreak. And I thought, are you fucking kidding me?
I mean, and the thing about it is, and I'm glad you mentioned the mammogram, Angie, because we have to get them, right? We have to get our mammograms.

Chapter 4: How does the discussion shift to the SAVE Act and its impact on voting rights?
But I, in this era, have gone back to where I was at COVID because of RFK Jr. and how they've essentially eliminated vaccine. Anybody who doesn't want to get a vaccination doesn't have to. I'm now worried, are these surfaces coated with measles? Am I going to get sick? Because people, you know, there were nurses at the time during the COVID pandemic who were with like the RFK Jr.
crowd who were like, I don't, I too do not believe, you know, in vaccines. Right. And so I'm now nervous. Like, where am I going to contract me? People are power sneezing on planes and I'm on the plane and I'm like, what are you giving me right now?
Well, we got an email from the university where my son goes, that there was an outbreak on campus corner where all the young kids go of measles. And so I had to call the doctor and be like, he's fully vaccinated. Is he covered? Of course, you know, thank goodness he was. But I just thought, How stupid do you have to be to say, I don't believe in science. I believe in Facebook doctors.
And then you get a mouthpiece like RFK, which I tell people all the time, I'm a lawyer. Do you want me to do your open heart surgery?
Chapter 5: What concerns are raised about voter suppression tactics in recent legislation?
right you want me to prescribe your blood pressure medicine rfk has no business in the health sphere in my opinion at all he has no expertise he's just like a rich kennedy and like not even one of the good kennedys not even one of the interesting he's a weirdo his own family doesn't trust him he sorts coke off cocaine off of off of toilet seats he was like like a heroin addict why am i taking health but he jumped into a dirty river in dc that nobody goes in like i think they're
cars at the bottom of the river and he jumped in like think with his grandkids this dude is a health menace he's a menace to society and then we're supposed to like put our bare breasts into a mammogram machine hoping that an rfk junior acolyte wasn't there before us and their bare breast was in that machine before ours please clean that thing with like hyper alcohol because i put my boobie in there after rfk junior fan
but I want my mammogram.
So true.
I mean, you just don't know who the crazies are. No. And the thing is, what worries me is a lot of the people who are down with this, they were more like liberal moms. And then they got red pilled because of COVID. And this idea of the vaccinations red pilled so many people who were otherwise fairly normal. You now have in Florida, where thank God we left where we used to live,
Kids are just like going to school unvaccinated. I mean, measles, mumps, rubella vaccine. Is that like optional now? Like, I'm so glad my kids are grown.
Absolutely. Yes. In Florida, it's optional and they are putting up legislation in different states to no longer require vaccinations in public school, which is bananas. Because if you go into a funeral, I'm sorry, a cemetery and you see the little bitty headstones, of all the babies that died before the vaccine. It's like, would you rather your kid die than get a vaccine?

Chapter 6: How do personal anecdotes illustrate the challenges of voting access?
Like, is that where we are?
I think it is. There are people who, they are so mistrustful of the state, even though now the state is in the hands of their favorite president, that they believe that any vaccine at all and asking or mandating it is tyranny. And it's like, you're the same people who don't think
armed masked militias in the streets of Minneapolis, in the suburbs, snatching brown people and throwing them into a van is tyranny. That's not tyranny, but asking that maybe your kid get a measles vaccine so they don't kill other kids in class is the illogic. I don't know if it was brain worms from COVID. I don't know what it is, but we're in a madhouse.
Well, here's the thing. This makes me crazy, and this is kind of off topic, but I have to say it. when the vaccine came out and I'm sorry, when COVID before the vaccine and people were wearing masks and you had so many, my body, my choice, I'm not gonna wear a mask. I live in Oklahoma, it's a complete abortion ban state.
It is, you cannot ask your doctor for advice about a pregnancy or he will go to jail. And the same people that are my body, my choice, about their fucking mask want to sit in my uterus and tell me what I should do with my body. And they don't see like they don't see that that's the exact same thing, but yet they're putting it on other people.
It is, and none of it makes any sense, right? There are four masks, if it's on an armed militia, Trump, you know, secret police, masks are fine there, but no masks to stop you from getting a disease. But they do expect their surgeon to wear a mask if he's gonna perform arm and heart surgery on them. If he walked in there unmasked, they'd probably be fairly alarmed.

Chapter 7: What parallels are drawn between voting rights and women's rights?
and and then at the same time to your point they don't believe that women that you or i should have any say whatsoever over a pregnancy just no say at all only the man should decide that they should decide that the church should decide that someone else so when it comes to like the most egregious thing you can meet nine months of carrying a child they think you they should order you to do that they should or and then they don't even want to help you pay for the child's upbringing
no no no help for preschool no free preschool they don't even want the kid to get free school lunch they're like the kid can starve you just have to get them born none of it makes any sense and they call that christianity and it's offensive and crazy
It's offensive and crazy. Okay, so that brings us to a transition about the SAVE Act, which is this new voting act that they're saying is gonna protect election integrity, but it's straight up voter suppression. Disproportionately, it will affect as no shock black and brown voters and women.
And so what is your position on this and how alarmed should we be about the possibility of this being passed?
Well, I think it has like 51 votes and counting in the Senate. I think we should be very alarmed. It's already passed the House.
And remember that the purpose, the reason the SAVE Act exists is that the right has this ongoing conspiracy theory that they've had for decades, that the only reason Republicans ever lose elections is that there are millions and millions and millions of undocumented immigrants who they call quote unquote illegals voting. And they are sure these people are voting.
And the illogical part about that is, If you're in the country undocumented, in order to vote, you have to get documented. You'd have to go into a DMV, present yourself, give your address, and then give them all the information they need to find you and deport you. Millions of people are doing that. I mean, I guess there would be one crazy person might do it, but you're saying,
Millions of people are now outing themselves as undocumented immigrants in order to vote for somebody they probably never heard of. Because if they're undocumented immigrants, are they really watching the news and paying attention to who the candidates are such that they can go and vote? So they're saying that's one thing that's happening.

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts on the state of democracy and political accountability?
Or they're saying that people are paying these undocumented people to vote.
and then they're or using their using fake they have all these but their own organizations heritage foundation who wrote the project 2025 cato institute right-wing organizations have studied this there is none of this it doesn't happen it is so illogical and stupid it doesn't happen but they think they can fix it by saying everybody in the country now has to present a proof of citizenship to vote but the only proof of citizenship you could possibly get that would be clear
would be either a birth certificate or a passport. Well, who issues the passports? The Trump administration. So you have to go to the Trump administration to get the only document they'll let you bring in to vote. So what if they say you can't have it or they cancel your passport? Then you can't vote. Or you don't have $130. Or you don't have $130. Or if you've changed your name.
So how does James Donald Hamill, what is J.D. Vance's real name? John Donald Hamill? Who knows? It's been changed so many times. Every trans person would be immediately unable to vote. And every married woman, because she changed her name, would automatically have to give additional proof in order to vote.
They're going to disenfranchise their own voters because the majority of married women vote Republican.
Here's something that just incensed me. A couple nights ago on Fox, they had all the women that sit there and, you know, browbeat other women and their achievements, but that's not what we're talking about, saying how they would be. They're offended that people are saying that they don't have the ability to to get the proper documentation because they're married.
I mean, it's offensive to women is on this name change thing. And I thought I got divorced like 10 years ago, whatever. It took me two years to get all my paperwork changed back. You have to get your decree. You have to mail it in. You have to go to the DMV. Then you have to take your decree into the bank. Then you have to, I mean, like it was a forever process. It was not easy.
not everybody has a personal assistant that can cut through the red tape but i was like okay so now they're trying to sell women you should be offended if they think you're not smart enough to change your name let me tell you something it is a
person heavy time heavy commitment to do this name name change it it enraged me joy no and and they act as if they don't control some of the actual mechanisms for you to do it so if you're in a red state and they've decided that you know what oklahoma city though there's too many blue voters there let's go ahead and close these dmvs at four you get off at five
