The Daily Signal
Oct 16, 2018

Good morning from Washington, where President Trump's scrappy interview with Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" has politicos talking about a smackdown. Fred Lucas wraps up the action. The movie recreation of the Gosnell murder case does good business despite a media blackout. Rachel del Guidice reports. A Chicago musician celebrates Trump's vision in song. Ken McIntyre has his story. Plus: Emilie Kao on why a court case on Harvard admissions matters, Betsy DeVos on improving public education, Bill Walton on what to do about a more aggressive China, and David Harsanyi on dangerous political rhetoric. We ran the wrong intro on yesterday's Morning Bell, and apologize for the confusion.
