New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio discusses the coronavirus outbreak in his city, as deaths from the pandemic start to surpass 2,000, telling Joy Reid, 'this is like the equivalent of being in a war.' Then: The coronavirus pandemic's disproportionately higher impact on communities of color is discussed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) who tells Joy Reid 'institutional racism' in healthcare and the economy is likely partially to blame. Next: Coronavirus relief checks could take weeks to come, as not everyone has direct deposit, MSNBC host Ali Velshi tells Joy Reid, adding 'direct payments to people would be more efficient.' And: Jared Kushner's statements on who controls the national stockpile of medical supplies have sparked outrage, as many people believe he implied that the precious resources needed to fight the coronavirus pandemic belong to the federal government and not states. Plus: The relatively slower coronavirus responses of Florida Gov. DeSantis and other conservative governors--plus the likely fallout--is critiqued by Joy Reid's panel. Finally: Coronavirus whistleblo​wer, Navy Captain Francis Crozier, who was dismissed after attempting to protect the women and men under his command from the spread of the pandemic, is discussed by Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-IL)--an Iraq war veteran. All this and more in this Saturday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.
