The City of Los Angeles is learning a hard lesson -- sometimes you run out of other people's money!  The coronavirus pandemic shut down Los Angeles for three months and then saw riots, looting, and protests that forced the LAPD to work copious amounts of overtime.  The LAPD has announced that these officer won't be paid for their work and they will instead receive time off.  All nonessential overtime for the city will be suspended except for staffing at the Bridge Home -- a nearly lawless center for the homeless. 

Also on today's episode we discuss some new research from our favorite site LockdownSkeptics.org.  The article argues that we unnecessarily implemented the lockdown when we knew that the virus primarily affected the elderly and nursing home residents. 

Also on today's episode we discuss a couple's disastrous trip to Costa Rica, a new "quarantine cheese" discovered in France, retail tyrants and more!

Dr. Fauci has returned with another unreasonable request!  He spoke to the Guardian this past week and discouraged any recreational international travel likely until there is a coronavirus vaccine.  This will have a devastating effect on the economy and it makes us wonder if Dr. Fauci would continue to have these views if he were not receiving his salary like millions of Americans are right now. 

Also over the weekend Governor Hot Spot has transitioned from encouraging massive protests in the streets to shaming Manhattanites for enjoying their summer evenings in the name of COVID-19.  We examine Cuomo's hypocrisy and explain why so many New Yorkers will be ignoring his pleas for "social distancing."

Also on this episode we discuss a hilarious story about a rabbi and Trader Joe's, the latest on the hydroxychloroquine debate and more!  Tune in now!

The mainstream media is piling on reports of a new "spike" of COVID in states like Arizona.  Of course they're blaming the "spike" on reopening and on President Trump - but is there another reason why case numbers might be rising?  Lockdown skeptic Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, does a deep dive on the new statistics emerging from states that appear to be having rising case numbers.  You might be surprised why some states appear to have rising numbers and it's not what the media claims. 

We also examine some grim economic statistics which are no surprise.  The world was put on "pause" for months and now we are beginning to see the repercussions.  In the U.K. the economy is said to have contracted by 20%!  It may seem like a "small" number for the economy shutting down - but it will have huge repercussions.

Also on today's episode we examine some shocking statistics from the University of California system.  There's a reason why college is so expensive!  

On today's Daily Virus we discuss the shocking (or not so shocking) news that Starbucks will be closing many of their cafes around the country.  Of course the corporate coffee giant is claiming this is due to the coronavirus - but did the once "elite" coffee chain sacrifice their clientele with their woke policies?  We discuss our experience at New York Starbucks and how progressives may have ruined the coffee chain. 

Protests appear to be the new "church."  In fact, states across the country face stringent coronavirus restrictions on religious gatherings - but why don't they apply to protests?  Not too long ago, experts like Dr. Fauci voiced GRAVE concerns about churches reopening.  Where is he on the mass protests that are still happening throughout the country? 

The NPR is holding a similar double standard and is completely outraged that President Trump is considering hosting MAGA rallies again.  Perhaps instead of defunding the police we should be defunding NPR. 

And lastly, the WHO has changed their narrative AGAIN.  We take you through their horrific history of COVID-19 recommendations and show that the "experts" may not be experts at all. 

Systemic racism in America is a MYTH and on this week’s Ann & Phelim Scoop we debunk the left’s narrative that America is inherently racist.  This week we are also joined by Miranda Devine of The New York Post -- a highly controversial international columnist who is absolutely hated by the left in the mainstream media in three continents!

With Miranda we discuss the nationwide riots and looting that have spread rapidly across the country.  Isn’t it interesting that these protesters claim to care deeply about black lives but neglect to mention the thousands of black deaths from abortion and gun violence?  Why are some black lives more important than others according to Black Lives Matter?   

We also take a look at J.K. Rowling who has come under fire from progressives for her common sense views about transgenderism.  J.K. Rowling was once a darling of the left but now the knives are out for her and her franchise!  Is Harry Potter cancelled?  

Finally we end with a FANTASTIC recipe for Banana Yogurt Walnut Muffins.  You’ll love this quick and easy snack!  We also want to thank you all again for tuning in each week and leaving so many wonderful reviews of the show on Apple Podcasts. Keep it up! We read and treasure each and every one.

A new study has been released that may show that the coronavirus began in China as early as October of last year.  This is months before China alerted the WHO about the virus.  Could more lives have been saved if China had alerted health officials sooner?  Satellite images and data suggest that something significant was happening in the country in October that caused significant 'social disruption' to take place.  Was it an earlier spread of the virus?

Also we have some huge news from the WHO that suggests asymptomatic spread of the coronavirus is incredibly rare.  Does this mean that the talk of "super spreaders" was a myth?  Why did we shutdown so many businesses if this is true? 

Also on today's episode we discuss the incredibly stringent quarantine laws in the U.K. which require travelers to follow a strict lockdown for 14 days that prohibits going to the store or exercising outside.  There is an unexpected loophole which appears to defeat the purpose of the quarantine restrictions.

For months healthcare workers and "experts" across the world guilted billions of people into staying home and cancelling all of their plans for the foreseeable future.  Businesses closed (many permanently) and students went without proper schooling.   Now the same healthcare workers and "experts" are supporting the mass protests that are spreading throughout the world.  What's their argument?  That racism is a bigger public health crisis than the coronavirus.  We dissect their claims and examine how quickly these experts pivoted from "all gatherings are bad" to "please protest with 20,000 of your closest friends."

The protests in Los Angeles are still going strong and continued into this weekend.  It appears the rioting and the looting have stopped and thanks to a lawsuit from the ACLU, the city has stopped their draconian curfews.  We examine the ACLU's challenge to the curfews and wonder why they were so quiet during the coronavirus lockdowns. 

Also on this episode we talk about the drama at the New York Times, the new process at LA hair salons, the Irish Times, and much more!

Very few people knew about Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer before she imposed some of the most draconian lockdown laws in the nation.  The governor has been openly hostile towards President Trump and has stifled businesses throughout the state in the name of the coronavirus and social distancing.  Since the lockdown started, we have seen endless stories of the Governor's hypocrisy and now her double standards have reached new levels.  We discuss Whitmer's latest tone deaf PR stunt on today's episode.

As you know, we have been very vocal about the "deaths per million" statistics surrounding the coronavirus and have pointed out on several occasions that Ireland has a higher DPM rate than the United States.  Apparently, we were ahead of the curve!  The Irish Times is FINALLY reporting that Ireland has a higher rate than the U.S.  Instead of owning up to their late reporting, they've decided to take a different approach that is dishonest at best. 

Also on today's episode we shine some light on the truth about Ferguson, child abuse statistics, and more.  Have a great weekend and we hope you enjoy today's episode!

We are starting to get the feeling that the pandemic is over.  Are you?  It's been nearly a week of endless mass protests across the world.  Governments (many of which still have their constituents on lockdown) aren't stopping the thousands of people marching close together - in fact they're encouraging them.  The abandonment of the establishment's virus guidelines has shown just how hypocritical the political class is.  For example, in England, funerals were limited to a very small number of people and in some cases, eulogies were banned due to social distancing.  But people can protest in the streets?  

It's petty hypocrisy and double standards like this that will stop anyone from supporting future lockdowns. 

In even more insanity, a measure has been introduced in England that bars you from having sex with someone who is not in your household.  It's a good thing Neil Ferguson got away with it when he could!

Also in todays episode we discuss hydroxychloroquine, the TRUE death toll of the riots, and more.  Thanks for listening!

We’re excited to be joined this week by writer Lionel Shriver, author of the incredible book We Need to Talk about Kevin. Lionel discusses her background and how she came to question many foundational liberal philosophies when she was a young adult.  She's been a vocal advocate in the UK against the lockdowns and she cues us in on how the media has completely overblown this crisis.   And as riots, looting, and protests spread throughout America, Shriver explains her experience with identity politics.  Shriver's insight into the controversial topics of race and diversity are absolutely hated by the left and the establishment.  You'll love the way she thinks!

Robert Bryce returns to the podcast this week for a second time. He joined us at the very beginning of the pandemic lockdown and now we’re hoping his appearance means the lockdown is at an end. The media isn’t talking about it anymore anyway! Perhaps what they should be talking about is Robert’s new documentary Juice: How Electricity Explains the World. It is now available to stream online, so if you’re still stuck at home and looking for something to watch, we highly recommend it! Robert discusses the importance of - and dangers to - electricity grids around the world as well as a unique phenomenon called “electricity theft.” You won’t want to miss it.

We also want to thank you all again for tuning in each week and leaving so many wonderful reviews of the show on Apple Podcasts. Keep it up! We read and treasure each and every one.
