Dispatch Live: Michael Weiss Talks Havana Syndrome

Join us tonight at 8 p.m. ET for our weekly livestreamed conversation.

On tonight’s episode of Dispatch Live, Mary Trimble will interview Michael Weiss, editor of The Insider and author of the joint Havana syndrome report, about the yearlong investigation into Russia’s alleged involvement in these unexplained health incidents. Later, John McCormack, David Drucker, and Charles Hilu, the newest Dispatch Politics reporter, will join. 

On the Agenda:

  • A breakdown of Havana syndrome and its victims;
  • Russia’s alleged involvement and the mechanics of the supposed weapon behind the health incidents;
  • The U.S. government’s position on Havana syndrome;
  • The state of Florida’s six-week abortion ban and its implications for the presidential race;
