Sen. Bill Frist, Who Anticipated Pandemic, Outlines Next Steps

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

In 2005, then-Sen. Bill Frist had a message for Americans: a pandemic was coming, likely out of Asia, and due to increasing global travel, it would likely affect the United States. Now Frist, a doctor himself, is looking at how and when America can safely reopen. One example of a locale doing it right, in his view? Nashville, Tennessee. Frist, a member of the National Coronavirus Recovery Commission, joins the podcast to talk about his 2005 prediction, what Nashville is doing, and more.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Trump tweets "why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states ... ?"
  • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that the next coronavirus relief bill will include a provision for vote by mail.
  • Attorney General William Barr announces a new effort to ensure Americans' "civil liberties" aren't attacked during the pandemic.
