The Daily Signal - TOP NEWS | Democrats Attack Durham, Randi Weingarten Fails Upward, Documents Reveal COVID Shot Mandate Based On Lie | June 22

On today’s Daily Signal Top News, we break down:


  • Our colleague Fred Lucas reports that special counsel John Durham testified to a House committee Wednesday about his lengthy investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, aiming sharp retorts at two Democratic lawmakers who sought to detract from his findings.
  • Our colleague Elise McCue reports that Randi Weingarten, a major proponent of school lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions, was appointed to the Homeland Security Academic Partnership Council on Wednesday. 
  • JustTheNews is reporting that a whistleblower at the FBI says that the bureau’s Deputy Director Paul Abbate told internal critics of its cases related to the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol to see employment elsewhere and offered to address the concerns himself. 
  • The Washington Examiner reports that new emails revealed the COVID-19 vaccine mandates were based on a lie. 
  • As we reported on yesterday’s show, ProPublica published a piece on Tuesday saying Supreme Court Justice Alito did not disclose gifts he was given on his 2008 Financial Disclosure Report.

Science In Action - Human embryo models

Over the last week, news of “synthetic human embryos” has made headlines around the world. Science in Action is getting to the bottom of the sensational story.

We talk to two of the researchers who have made the embryo models from stem cells in their labs; Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz from the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, and Professor Jacob Hanna from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. They tell us how they made the embryo models, what their aims are, and their own ethical considerations.

The scientific community is excited, but not surprised, by the breaking research. We hear how Dr Andreia Bernardo, group leader at Imperial College London, could use these structures in her future research.

Finally, Director of the Reproductive Sociology Research Group at Cambridge University, Professor Sarah Franklin, and Professor of Law at Stanford University, Hank Greely, tackle the legal and ethical constraints on this kind of work, and why it is important for understanding the health of mothers and babies.

Focus on Africa - Remembering Berlusconi’s love for the Kenyan coast

Italy's former PM Silvio Berlusconi died on 12th June. Known for his lavish spending on Milan football club and his tumultuous relationship with Italian justice, the late media magnate had also a lesser-known passion: relaxing in Malindi. He was once quoted saying that he just 'could not get enough of the Kenyan coast'. Today, Malindi attracts European tourists, particularly Italians. A former manager of the super-luxury hotel Lion in the Sun, where Berlusconi stayed, reveals how the once fishing village became a destination cherished by Italians, including the late Silvio Berlusconi.
