THIS EPISODE: Donald Trump has announced an executive order plan to extend COVID-19 economic assistance. Sen. Cory Booker joins Zerlina Maxwell to question why the president is announcing these orders now, when Booker says the Democrats have attempted to implement coronavirus relief plans since May. AND: COVID-19 has now killed over 162,000 Americans. MSNBC Science Contributor Laurie Garrett, author of ‘The Coming Plague,’ joins Zerlina Maxwell to discuss, telling AM JOY, ‘You have to imagine, what if there’s a common cold going around except that it’s lethal.’ PLUS: The pandemic has disproportionately hurt poor and low-wealth people Rev. Dr. William Barber tells Zerlina Maxwell, as he calls for Democrats to do more to give a human face to those most impacted by the coronavirus-caused economic downturn--and combat Mitch McConnell’s apparent inaction on these issues. All this and much more in this Saturday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
