Peter Thiel, the Antichrist, and You

Tonight on TJRS: Trump tries to pardon some turkeys. The key word there being "tries" as it seems old Dementia Don was having a hard time staying on topic (though really, what else is new). Do you know what Donald Trump has successfully pardoned, though? Criminals! Specifically more than 1600 January 6ers, and more than 60 crooks and scammers, several of whom seem to be connected financially or politically to ... Donald Trump. Meanwhile there's trouble in MAGA land. It seems Candace Owens and Alex Jones are none too happy with their orange cult leader. The reasons why? Charlie Kirk and Marjorie "Bad Built" Taylor Greene... Next, we take an extensive deep dive into Peter Theil, co-founder of Paypal and Palentir, and the man behind the curtains of much of the MAGA madness we are seeing today; not to mention the puppet-master who built JD Vance. Independent documentary producer, Philip Damico, who runs the YouTube channel,  @Volksgeist  joins us in that conversation. Then in hour two, we talk about Trumps latest bout of insulting and degrading female journalists. We cover the life of the recently passed Mother Viola Fletcher with Damario Solomon-Simmons, attorney for the Tulsa three. LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, jumps on to talk to us about her "We Ain't Buying It" campaign. And we share our Moment of Joy: a clip of Joy's recent appearance on the I’ve Had It podcast with Jennifer Welch and Pumps. --- Justice for Greenwood Justiceforgreenwood.org Joy's appearance on I've Had It: Bubba BJ-gate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TScEqjCIkRI LaTosha Browns op-ed: "We're not buying what these retailers are selling https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2025/11/26/black-friday-cyber-monday-boycott-economic-blackout/87445997007/ WATCH: The Antichrist is Here -- The Story of Peter Thiel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAeTKyY3LB4 The We Ain't Buyin It campaign https://weaintbuyingit.com/ ---- ABOUT JOY REID: Joy-Ann Lomena Reid (AKA Joy Reid) is a best-selling American author, political journalist and TV host.
