The Ann & Phelim Scoop

On today's episode of the Daily Virus we talk about Shelley Luther, the woman who was jailed for opening her Dallas salon.  Good news - since recorded she has been RELEASED!  We talk about the madness that has led us to freeing inmates and jailing business owners.  This has got to stop.   Los Angeles has FINALLY announced that they will be easing their lockdown . . . but it's n...

This week, we bring you two very exciting interviews. First, we’re joined by journalist and commentator Heather MacDonald, and Alana Goodman of The Washington Free Beacon stops by to reveal how the liberal media is conspiring to cover up a possible murder.    Watch: https://youtu.be/qJgnufXn0F8 Heather MacDonald joins us from the COVID-19 epicenter New York City and she warns that New Yo...

Governors in states like California are claiming their lockdowns are purely based on science . . . but as time goes on and governors are forced to cave on their draconian measures it is becoming even more clear that the lockdowns are purely political.  In California we were awarded a small victory yesterday when Governor Newsom announced we would be moving on to Phase 2 of the reopening. &nbs...

On today's episode we talk about the ever changing goal posts of the lockdowns.  From what began as "flattening" the curve has turned into "crushing" the curve.  What comes next?  Our hospitals are NOT overwhelmed and many are expected to file for bankruptcy.  We discuss the governors like Kate Brown in Oregon who have decided lockdown until JULY with very few deaths/hospitaliz...

The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, was once seen as a dreamy establishment liberal politician.  But now Governor McDreamy is taking a hard turn to Governor McFascist.  Newsom upset millions of Americans across the state when a leaked memo said he would close beaches and parks across the state.  In yesterday's press conference, he was forced to recant his order and close the b...

Tomorrow is May!  Finally!  It's been a long month, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.  On today's episode we discuss Governor Cuomo's massive mistake in not closing New York City's metro.  According to his statements yesterday . . . he's starting to admit that "public transportation" could have a huge role in spreading the virus.  Duh! His administration announc...

On today's episode of the Scoop we have a very special guest!  Toby Young joins us all the way from across the pond!  Toby is the General Secretary of the Free Speech Union and he also runs a fantastic website called LockdownSkeptics.org.  He also is an incredibly talented British political commentator and he is the former head of the New Schools Network.    We discuss wit...

It seems like everyone is out for capitalism in today's troubling times.  On today's podcast we begin with a story from the New York Times that shows their continued efforts to try and put a stop to the reopening of our economy.  It seems like the mainstream media does not want our country to reopen anytime soon.  And why is that?  Most likely it's because the longer we wait to...

We hope you had a great weekend.  In today's episode we talk about more failures of the New York Times.  As their virus coverage continues, we continue to see how the Times is much more concerned with slamming Trump than they are with doing real journalism.  We examine a few articles from over the weekend that show their growing bias and their sympathies with the CCP.  You may...

As the virus coverage continues, it's becoming more clear that the response to the Wuhan Virus is largely political.  Earlier this month a Michigan lawmaker thanked President Trump for publicizing the benefits of hydroxychloroquine after it saved her life during her battle with the Wuhan Virus.  Now her party is moving to censure her and is threatening  to withhold their endorsement...

In today's episode we cover the skyrocketing unemployment numbers that have left millions of Americans out of work.  Will we bounce back?  We are optimists so we hope so! It's time to reopen the economy.  This has gone on long enough.  Certainly metropolitan areas like New York City will need to open slower than the rest of us - but the majority of the country is not seeing the...

On this episode, we’re joined by not one but TWO exciting guests - Mollie Hemingway and Marc Morano! We are so excited to have our dear friend Mollie Hemingway on the podcast again this week. Mollie is a senior editor at The Federalist and a wonderful journalist. As many of you know, she is the inspiration for the blogger character in our movie Gosnell! From her own “home studio,” Mollie joins us...

Last night's  Monday night news dump left the left very very angry as Trump announced that America will halt immigration as we battle the coronavirus.  The "close everything" crowd is of course up in arms, calling the move "racist."  It's truly remarkable how the mainstream media and activist left are able to hold such double standards.  Yesterday Los Angeles came out with some...

This weekend thousands of Americans across the country protested their state, county, and city lockdown laws.  Several notable cities along the California coast held protests including San Clemente and San Diego.  More and more people are starting to protest the draconian laws like the ones Michigan.  This weekend we took a stroll alongside Venice Beach in California and the police...

On today's virus we discuss President Trump's plan to re-open America.  It relies heavily on the input and direction from governors and gives the states the power to safely re-open their states.  But does it give states too much power?  How many governors will be dragging their feet to make a political point?  We examine Trump's new guidelines and take a look at the states who...

Today's episode is a bit longer than normal - but that's because there's so much to talk about!  Today we examine Trump's decision to withdraw funding from the WHO.  Although he's received criticism from many in the mainstream media and folks like Bill Gates - we explain why this was a good move.  Very few understand the global politics of the WHO which greatly favor China.  Th...

Our first guest is none other than Dean Cain!  You may know Dean from his roles in Superman, The Gosnell Movie, God's Not Dead, and many more!  Dean discusses how he’s spending his time in “quarantine” and how his family pets have taken to the change. He also suggests which four of his movies you should watch while you’re stuck at home. You won’t want to miss it! Dean also reminisces abo...

Today we examine a topic that seems to be lost among the COVID-19 conversation - the difference between doctors, politicians, and economists.  Comments made by Dr. Anthony Fauci have been met with criticism from the right and the left - but it's important to remember he is not an elected leader . . . he is not an economist . . . he is a doctor who is trying to protect public health.  We...

We hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter weekend despite the circumstances.  It was a huge weekend in the news with the lockdowns in many states getting more and more stringent.  As Governors and local leaders implement new virus crackdowns, new political bullies are emerging.  In Michigan there's Governor Gretchen Whitmer who has implemented new orders that ban traveling...

Pope Francis is one of the most "activist" religious leaders in history.  He's helped lead the global conversation about climate change and has made the climate crisis a religious and moral issue.   Yesterday he spoke out about the coronavirus pandemic and said it might be one of "nature's responses" to ignoring the climate crisis.  Linking this pandemic to climate change is no...

On this week’s episode, we are joined by a very special guest from across the pond - James Delingpole! James is a good friend and journalist at Breitbart. On the podcast, he discusses the most draconian coronavirus regulations and what life is like in Great Britain during this crisis.     We also discuss with James what a post-Coronavirus world might look like. Arguably, China has e...

In the latest of absolutely ridiculous tweets from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she now suggests that the coronavirus is racist because there are more cases in African American communities based on statistics she has shared on Twitter.  We discuss her tweet and her wild claims. Boris Johnson appears to be on on the up and up after being admitted to intensive care for complications...

According to the White House, this will be one of the toughest weeks in American history as CCP Virus deaths are expected to rise across the country.  President Trump has given Americans hope that there is "light at the end of the tunnel" but the worst is still to come.   In the U.K., Boris Johnson has been admitted to the hospital for his struggles fighting the virus.  We wish him...

The media has complained for years that President Trump doesn't do enough press conferences.  Now, the White House is doing a daily conference about critical information about the coronavirus and news outlets like CNN are refusing to cover it.  Why?  Because since the president began these daily virus briefings, his ratings have been on the rise.   This is a colossal failu...

The media needs to get a grip. Everyday their coronavirus coverage gets more misleading, nasty, and detrimental to our country. Yesterday we learned that China **did** lie about their coronavirus numbers despite what the mainstream media had been clamoring for days. The media has been proven wrong and they continue to mislead the public every day. Recently the Boston Globe editorial wrote that Pre...
