COVID-19 DAILY SPECIAL REPORT 5/8/20: Kimberley Strassel, Heather MacDonald, Mark Hemingway

The latest on the unprecedented government reaction to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic hosted by Larry O'Connor.  

HEATHER MAC DONALD

Fellow at the Manhattan Institute

Contributing Editor at City Journal

MacDonald joins the podcast to talk about her latest column at City Journal: "Should Identity Politics Dictate Vaccine Research?"  From the article: "The premier federal funders of biomedical research, in other words, apparently believe that a pandemic is the perfect moment to focus further on identity politics. If diversity trumps scientific merit in biomedical research, including in immunology and virology, then those research efforts cannot be particularly important, despite the experts’ economy-crushing shutdown mandates."

Strassel and Larry discuss the Justice Department's decision to drop all criminal charges against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Strassel focuses on the reaction of James Comey and his supporters in the legacy media. Strassel also discusses the actions of Rod Rosenstein and calls into question the entire rationale behind the Robert Mueller investigation.
