Submit ReviewTHIS EPISODE: Donald Trump’s West Point speech and the president’s relationship to the military are analyzed by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who is also a reserve officer in the U.S. Air Force. Lieu tells MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin in for Joy Reid, “You see now the military recoiling at what Donald Trump wants them to do.” THEN: Trump's relationship with the military is also being questioned in part due to numerous military officials and former officers criticizing Trump’s presidency recently. Colonel Jack Jacobs tells Ayman, “...the use of the military in quelling legitimate protests on American soil. It's happened before, not with a good result.” AND: Trump will hold rallies soon after his West Point speech, which was conducted with COVID-19 precautions. If West Point required COVID-19 prevention measures, why won’t Trump’s rally organizers do the same? Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin joins MSNBC to discuss. NEXT: George Floyd protests in Seattle have resulted in clashes with the authorities, and protestors creating an “autonomous zone.” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) joins Ayman Mohyeldin adding, ‘’We cannot let George Floyd just be a picture on a t-shirt, with no change that honors his life, and what he has come to symbolize[.]” PLUS: The coronavirus first wave is persisting and very active, while the second wave is not due until the fall, public health expert Irwin Redlener, MD tells AM JOY. ALSO: Trump’s West Point speech contains “corrupt” remarks Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, ret., tells MSNBC. ADDITIONALLY: Trump announcing that his first rally in three months would be held on Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the end of U.S. slavery, was met with backlash, leading the president to postpone the speech one day. Pulitzer prize winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones joins us to critique. FINALLY: Trump’s West Point speech was as “dull as dishwater” MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance tells MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin. All this, plus Donald Trump’s commencement speech at West Point, and more in this Saturday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
