What A Day - The Incredible Shrinking Economy

New GDP data show the economy shrank at a 4.8% annual rate in January, February and March. That’s the worst quarterly decline since the 2008 recession, and unfortunately, the current quarter is probably going to be worse. 

There’s an experimental drug called Remdesivir that the FDA is reportedly planning to approve for emergency use in treating symptoms of Covid-19. It’s not a cure, but some early trial data show that it reduces the length of the disease for some patients. 

And in headlines: a 1-mile asteroid picks the wrong time to scare Earth, NCAA to allow athletes to make money, and "Trolls World Tour" brings equal parts pain and pleasure.

The Daily Signal - Why Are Millennials Leaving the Left? This Author Has Answers.

Why did some millennials vote for President.Barack Obama in 2012 and President Donald Trump in 2016? Jonathan Jakubowski, author of "Bellwether Blues: A Conservative Awakening of the Millennial Soul," joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss.

"There’s a lot of reasons that motivated these millennials to change their votes over the course of time," says Jakubowski. "It didn’t happen in one single event. It didn’t happen because of one podcast or one show or one friend. It was conversations. It was things that they read. It was life events that ultimately culminated in a deep change."


We also cover these stories:

  • A new study has revealed that the drug Remdesivir might be very effective against COVID-19. 
  • Secretary of State Mike Pomepo is continuing calls for the United States to be able to access the Wuhan labs as the country continues to investigate the origins of the coronavirus.
  • Sen. Ted Cruz is introducing legislation aimed at “cutting off Hollywood studios from assistance they receive from the Department of Defense if those studios censor their films for screening in China."
