The Ann & Phelim Scoop

We are very lucky to be joined by COVID-19 data expert Justin Hart today!  Justin is a data whiz in San Diego who has dedicated his time to exposing the truth about the virus.  

As you know, the mainstream media is using COVID facts and figures to fit their narrative.  They use phrases like "staggering case numbers" and "crowded hospitals" -- but are those characterizations accurate?  Or is it more fear porn?  Justin breaks down the truth about cases, deaths, and hospitalizations and explains what we should and shouldn't be concerned about. 

We also visit the hot political topic of returning to school!  As you may know, the death rate for children with COVID-19 is nearly zero.  Deaths among children have become a statistical anomaly.  We discuss with Justin why its important parents should have the option to send their kids to school in the fall. 

We hope you love this first episode of the Daily Virus featuring a guest!  Let us know who we should have next.  Stay tuned!

The story of Casey Diaz will shake you to your core.  Casey is a former Los Angeles gang member who was sent to one of the most dangerous jails in the country to serve out his sentence.  He was a “shot caller” which is a high ranking gang member that is considered one of the most dangerous inmates.  Casey’s life was changed when he discovered the power of Christ in prison and his story is an inspiration.   

He’s our guest on this week’s Ann & Phelim Scoop and you will be moved by his incredible story.   While behind bars, Casey spent the first few years in solitary confinement. There, he had an incredible experience that led him towards Christianity. We don’t want to spoil the tale, so tune into the podcast and read Casey’s book to hear it. Casey is also involved in turning his life story into a film. 

He received an offer from a big Hollywood studio in the past, but declined because he knew that Hollywood leftists wouldn’t be inclined to include his story of faith in the film.   Casey has told his story in full detail in his powerful memoir The Shot Caller.  We cannot recommend this book enough!  He also hosts his own podcast The Shot Caller podcast which tells the stories of redemption through Christ.  

Please give it a listen!

We've got bad news coming from California!  Governor Gavin Newsom has decided to lock down the state AGAIN with no date in sight to reopen.  Hair salons, gyms, churches, and barber shops in most counties will cease indoor operations.  We're in for another long "quarantine" even though deaths continue to decline in the state.  Will this madness end or will more states follow suit? 

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has decided that students will not return to school in the fall.  This is a huge disappointment that defies the science behind COVID-19.  We discuss who is pushing these school closures so strongly and some of the wild demands that teachers' unions are making that would be contingent upon their return to school. 

The coronavirus has also created a massive budget shortfall in most state and city governments -- and politicians are already implementing massive tax increases.  Only the government can increase the cost of services without improving them . . . 

Finally, we hear a thoughtful reflection from a writer friend of ours.  We hope you enjoy today's episode.   Please consider making a tax-deductible gift here: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/donate/

Today we're podcasting from Wine County in Sonoma, California!  After the virus madness -- we tried to get away for the weekend up north.  It was a delightful weekend but an interesting one as the coronavirus regulations have devastated California's beautiful wine country, an area that has barely been affected by the coronavirus.  We give you the scoop on what to expect next time you and your family travel during these strange times. 

We also visit some good-ish news -- it looks like Dr. Fauci may be on his way out the door.  It appears the Trump administration is pivoting to question some of Fauci's biggest mistakes handling (or mishandling) the COVID epidemic.  Dr. Fauci has been wrong REPEATEDLY and he has costs thousands of businesses and lives in the process. 

Also on today's episode we examine some shocking quotes about the hospitalization rates throughout the country.  The media wants you to believe that hospital crowding is an anomaly due to COVID -- but is it?

In case you thought it couldn't get any crazier -- Governor Cuomo has launched an internal investigation into the thousands of deaths in New York nursing homes.  Would you believe he found someone one else to blame? It's incredible how Cuomo has decided to absolve himself from his own disaster that crippled nursing homes in the state. 

Also on today's episode we look at some shocking statistics from Governor Newsom.  With the media blitz to send us into another lockdown -- you'd think that California hospitals are PACKED with COVID-19 patients.  That is not true.  We take a look at some of Newsom's own stats and explain why it could be that COVID deaths are plummeting . . . for good. 

Lastly, we take a look at the tourism industry and how the lack of American dollars will devastate the global economy.  Don't miss this important episode.  

We hope you have a great weekend.  We'll be driving up north tomorrow so there will be no Daily Virus on Friday.  We'll catch you on Monday!  Have a great weekend!

Cultural Marxism is growing throughout the country.  Whether it’s the riots burning down our cities or the rabid cancel culture infecting social media and the workplace -- it’s everywhere and it has got to stop.

On this week’s episode of The Ann & Phelim Scoop, we’re joined by Eric Metaxas to talk about the growth of cultural Marxism in our society and how you and I can help stop it.

If you’re new to Eric Metaxas, you’ll love him!  He’s a brilliant author, talk show host, and  Christian conservative living in New York City.  With Eric we discuss the creeping cultural Marxism in America, the riots, and the lockdown in Manhattan.

Eric also tells us the thrilling story about his most notable book, Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Prophet, Martyr, Spy, a biography about the heroic German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer’s life shows the true meaning of faith and bravery.  He stood up for the Jews persecuted by Nazi Germany, became involved with a plot to assasinate Adolf Hitler, and was imprisoned in a concentration camp, where he was executed. Eric’s book is an incredible, impactful read. He also writes children’s books! We go through some of his latest writings for children, including a series featuring Donald Trump!

This week also features a delicious recipe for Banana Pecan Bread and an important update from our Venice Beach Autonomous Zone.  Phelim joined Ingraham Angle on Fox News to talk about LA County’s hypocritical beach closures.  Don’t miss this exciting episode!

This week's hot topic is whether or not students should return to school.  Yesterday President Trump tweeted his support for students returning to classrooms just as Harvard University announced that they would be online for the 2020 to 2021 semester.  You won't believe how much Harvard is charging their students to learn online!

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) also announced yesterday that international students whose colleges will not be returning on campus in the fall must return to their home country.  This is a huge blow to universities across the country and a big incentive to get schools to reopen in the fall. 

Also on today's episode we discuss another massive drop in deaths from the virus and Gavin Newsom's new additions to the counties in lockdown.  Enjoy!

Governor Gavin Newsom had a weekend chock full of bad publicity!  There were massive gatherings in the Hollywood Hills, plenty of beachgoers defying the beach closures, and a massive display of fireworks across the state.  It appears that Californians are becoming tired of draconian politicians and their restrictive lockdown orders and blatant hypocrisy. 

We also tell you about our Venice Beach Independence Day Autonomous Zone.  It was a hit!  You'll hear about our time on the beach and Phelim's great interview on Fox News with Raymond Arroyo on the Ingraham Angle. 

We also discuss a very interesting graphic about the "risk" of various activities for contracting COVID and some British snobbery!  We hope you enjoy today's episode and that you and your family had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

Today we are heading to the beach!  It's July 3rd and Los Angeles County has closed the beaches in order to "curb the spread of the virus."  It is absolutely ridiculous.  Just a few days ago Gavin Newsom and Eric Garcetti were encouraging mass protests of thousands in the street.  If Black Lives Matter can protest -- families can spend their holiday weekend at the beach. 

That's why we've created the Independence Day Autonomous Zone.  We have a MASSIVE banner that we'll be placing across the beach in Venice.  If you're in town, come stop by and see our piece of opinion journalism.  We'll be there as long as we can be!  

Take care and have a great Independence Day Weekend.  We'll be broadcasting live on Periscope from the beach if you can't join us.  You can follow along on our Twitter here: https://twitter.com/AP_Scoop

Yesterday Gavin Newsom announced his second lockdown which will close indoor dining in 19 California counties which make up the majority of California's population.  The new regulations will devastate businesses that have just begun to recover from Newsom's original lockdown.  The new regulations also close all bars in the 19 counties -- will they close permanently?  We discuss what these new rules mean and the hypocrisy behind them.  Why do looters and rioters get a free pass while small business owners are being punished? 

Further, we discuss who is exempt from Newsom's new rules.  All tribal casinos will not be forced to comply with the new rules -- what sense does that make?!  In California it's quite comical -- Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have announced new restrictions for businesses and bans on gatherings in their daily press conferences -- which have been disrupted by BLM protesters.  How can the mayor of Los Angeles ban gatherings while a massive gathering is happening during his press conference?!

Also on today's episode, we talk about some shady graphs in the New York Times and the return of "green policies" that have been abandoned due to the virus.  

Finally -- stay tuned for tomorrow!  We have some Independence Day shenanigans planned that you might enjoy.  If you are enjoying our podcasts, please consider sending a tax-deductible gift here: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/donate
