This is the Daily Signal Podcast for Monday, May 4th. I'm Robert Bluey.

And I'm Virginia Allen. On today's show, we talk with Rachel Grezler, Research Fellow in Economics, Budget and Entitlements at the Heritage Foundation.

Rachel breaks down what the high unemployment numbers mean for our economy and how long America can sustain our growing national

debt.

We also share your letters to the editor and a good news story interview with Neil Harmon,

co-founder of the Family Friendly streaming service,

Vid Angel, about the original series The Chosen.

Before we get started, Rob and I want to tell you about an exciting way to stay engaged

with the Heritage Foundation during COVID-19.

While we can't host events in person right now, Heritage is having webinars almost every single day on a variety of topics ranging from ethics during the COVID-19

pandemic to the Cares Act and the economy.

They're really fantastic Virginia and they're also free. You can find all of our upcoming events by visiting

heritage.org slash events or by checking out the link in today's show notes.

Now stay tuned for today's show coming up next.

I am joined by Rachel Gresler, research fellow in economics, budget and entitlements at the Heritage Foundation.

Rachel, thanks so much for being here.

My pleasure, thanks for having me, Virginia.

Well, today we're talking about our economy

and what are some of those variables that we're seeing right now in the economy and what some of those

effects are of COVID-19 and quite frankly I really wish that this could be a cheerier conversation,

but I'm really glad that you can join us today and share a little bit of your expertise on this subject and just give us a glimpse into America's economy now and what it might look like in the future.

So let's begin by talking about unemployment. and what it might look like in the future.
