Stacey Abrams
Desi Lydic takes on Trump's attempt to spin Kamala Harris's medical records while withholding his own. Plus, a look at Trump's bizarre town hall that turned into a 40-minute listening party. Finally, Michael Kosta explains where Trump's unhinged behavior falls on the scary-to-funny meter. The election is drawing near and the result could come down to a small sliver of undecided voters in swing states. Lewis Black has a special message for the undecided voters waiting for a Kardashian to tell them who to vote for: Do us all a favor and just sit this one out. "What we need to watch is not what they're doing but what we do about it. We can't get sucked into the maelstrom of crazy. We've got to go around the maelstrom to the ballot box and have so many of us turn in our ballots that it doesn't really matter." Voting rights activist, "Assembly Required" podcast host, and bestselling author Stacey Abrams joins Desi Lydic to talk about disruptive ballot-counting requirements in Georgia, how registering and casting votes can combat voter suppression, and teaching children empathy and advocacy through child hunger in her latest book, "Stacey Speaks Up."
