THIS EPISODE: The 2020 election stakes for America are explained by legendary journalist Dan Rather who tells Jonathan Capehart, “What this presidential election is about is whether this country is going to move more in the direction of White supremacy, or whether it's going to move more in the direction of a multi-racial, constitutional republic based on principles of freedom and democracy.” NEXT: Donald Trump’s foreign policy disruptions, such as pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, are praised by former Sen. Joe Lieberman, who still criticizes the president for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Lieberman also joins Jonathan Capehart to discuss his supporting Joe Biden, and his endorsement of GOP Senator from Maine, Susan Collins. AND: Donald Trump’s reported comment on armed service members -- allegedly calling them losers and suckers, which the president denies -- is discussed by U.S. veterans running for Congress in 2020. PLUS: Donald Trump voters plan to vote overwhelmingly in person, experts say, while Joe Biden supporters will mostly vote by mail in ballot. Journalist Lynne Hayes-Freeland joins Jonathan Capehart on how this could result in the false appearance of a decisive election night result. FINALLY: Joe Biden gets help for his Wisconsin fight from the director of ‘The Princess Bride,’ Rob Reiner, and a star of this beloved movie, Cary Elwes. All this and more in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
