Published: April 28, 2020, 7 a.m.

b'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. \\nWe also cover these stories:\\n\\nPresident Trump tweets "why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states ... ?"\\n\\nHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that the next coronavirus relief bill will include a provision for vote by mail.\\n\\nAttorney General William Barr announces a new effort to ensure Americans\' "civil liberties" aren\'t attacked during the pandemic.\\n\\n\\nThe Daily Signal podcast is available on\\xa0Ricochet,\\xa0Apple Podcasts,\\xa0Pippa,\\xa0Google Play, or\\xa0Stitcher.
