America in Panic: Occupied DC & Texas | The Joy Reid Show LIVE! Aug 18, 2025

In this episode, Joy talks with Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott about the ways to actually reduce crime and gun violence -- and surprise, it's not by using the military to occupy cities and the Diistrict of Columbia. We also dove into the latest on the TEXIT drama and the racist maps -- and whether Democrats were returning to the state to help Republicans make quorum, with State Rep. Jolanda Jones, State Rep Aicha Davis, and State Rep Venton Jones. And we talked violence interruption with the former deputy director of the Biden administration office designed to curb gun violence.
