The Ann & Phelim Scoop

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...

On this week’s episode of the Ann & Phelim Scoop we tackle cancel culture with Bret Stephens.  Bret is a columnist for The New York Times and enraged the left when he wrote a column that argued that Woody Allen’s memoir should be published and why Conservatives should care about liberal voices being silenced.  Bret highlights why due process, and a fair hearing in public is critical...

CBS News is the latest media outlet to mislead Americans during the coronavirus. In a recent report, CBS took footage of a crowded hospital from Italy and included it in a segment about New York’s battle with the virus. Is this an “accident” like CBS claims or is this malfeasance? We discuss. Because we care about you — we listened to Joe Biden’s podcast so you don’t have to. The podcast is called...

This week was full of disappointing news on the coronavirus - but we are hoping to bring you a bit of cheer and good information as you start your week!  On Sunday we learned in President Trump's press conference that the CDC will extend their social distancing recommendations through the end of April.  We explain what that means for you and your family - of course it varies greatly by e...

As the virus continues to spread throughout the globe, so are half baked “facts” from our politicians, scientists, and the media. Day by day it’s getting increasingly hard to separate fact from fiction. Yesterday we told you about scientist Neil Ferguson who is walking back on his study that kickstarted the lockdowns across the globe. His original death estimates of 2 million in the United States...

Coronavirus lockdowns are happening all around the world and every country, state, and city is taking drastically different measures to stop the virus and slow the spread. We discuss lockdowns in France and a very short ban on alcohol as well as what is happening in Los Angeles. Today we also examine the stimulus package that looks likely to be signed by the president very soon. Heather Mac Donald...

Our good friend Jan Jekielek of the Epoch Times joins us on today's episode.  Jan is an expert in modern Chinese relations, government, and culture.  He gives us an inside look into the Communist Party of China, the CCP Virus, propaganda and more.  We also discuss the mainstream media and how the media could be doing the CCP's bidding as they report on the virus.  Jan is an inc...

The news around COVID-19 is updating quickly and on the hour.   Since most of our listeners will be home throughout the week, we will be posting bonus episodes of the Ann & Phelim Scoop that focus specifically on the coronavirus updates - we’re calling it the “Daily Virus.”  As you may know, the news around this topic is changing rapidly so we would like to keep you up-to-date a...

On this week’s episode of The Ann & Phelim Scoop, we preview the play’s premiere at the conservative conference this weekend. The left has gone absolutely unhinged at the thought of CPAC attendees seeing the truth behind the Russia collusion hoax. But it isn’t just the left - some on the right have displayed the same outrage. We discuss. Speaking of deranged leftists, we also touch on the late...

This week we recap our recent interview with Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, the psychologist and memory expert who served as an expert witness for the Defense in the Harvey Weinstein trial.

Brexit has finally arrived! Just a few short days ago, The UK has officially left the European Union.. On this week’s episode of The Ann & Phelim Scoop, we discuss this victory for democracy and discuss why the left isn’t too happy about this development (even thought the left were once the most ardent Brexiteers).    We also made a very difficult admission on this week’s announcemen...

Hillary Clinton just won’t go away! Hulu announced that they will be releasing a new documentary on the failed 2016 candidate. Will it include evidence of her corruption or whitewash her history? We suspect it will be the latter. Watch the podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gtaLt-08JDY Josh Fox is back! You might remember Fox as the producer of the documentaries Gasland and Gasland II, which hel...

The environmental celebrity activists are at it again! Actor Martin Sheen was arrested at a “Fire Drill Friday” protest put on by his Hollywood cohort Jane Fonda. We take a listen to his “climate protest” speech and find out why he was an actor on The West Wing, rather than a writer.
