Daily Virus #30 | Pay Cuts For State Workers? May 15, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode we revisit the Los Angeles County mask requirements and the little tyrants who have put them in place. It's been about day since the mask requirement was put in place and so far - people appear to be silently protesting. Even at the beach where masks are mandatory for all beachgoers many have chosen not to wear one.

Also on today's episode we take a look at the background of Dr. Barbara Ferrer. Dr. Ferrer is the LA County Public Health Director who has faced criticism for her stringent lockdown orders. It turns out Dr. Ferrer isn't a medical doctor at all . . . and Red State has done some interesting reporting that further examines her background. Not only are her credentials in question . . . but so is her salary which totals nearly $500,000 a year. Yikes!

In yesterday's press conference California Governor Gavin Newsom announced he would be cutting state worker pay by 10% to help account for the massive shortfall in the state budget.

Also in today's episode we talk about the Senators under FBI scrutiny for potential insider trading, Amazon's sick workers, and countries varying social distancing guidelines.

Daily Virus #29 | Panic-demic! May 14, 2020

Show notes

Panic! Panic! Panic! The curve has flattened in almost every U.S. city and state and now the government is doing all they can to keep the fear and panic going. Our Mayor in Los Angeles has now implemented a mandatory mask order when you leave your house in Los Angeles. The lockdown started over 9 weeks ago. So why now?! Many public officials are starting to see push back from their residents about their lockdowns and it seems that mandatory mask orders are the new way to keep the lemmings in line. We've gone from pandemic to panic-demic!

We have exciting news from Wisconsin where the Supreme Court overturned the governor's lockdown! Now only if we could get that in California . . . Due to the court's ruling, restaurants and bars are able to open immediately in the state.

California has released their reopening guidelines for restaurants and they are complete rubbish and not based on science whatsoever. We tell you some of the ridiculous new regulations that restaurant owners will be facing.

Lastly, we visit Pennsylvania and a horrifying story of severe nursing home mismanagement that has devastated thousands of families across the state.

#42: James O'Keefe Of Project Veritas On Exposing The Mainstream Media! May 13, 2020

Show notes

Todaywe update you on the latest draconian lockdown measures in Southern California that are punishing taxpayers while letting the homeless off the hook. We’re also joined by undercover journalist James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, who discusses his latest explosive story exposing CBS. James really is one of the best journalists operating in the US these days.

Southern Californians have been prisoners in their own homes for weeks due to restrictions by state and local “leaders”. Well, most Southern Californians at least. On this week’s podcast, we expose how these extreme measures don’t apply to the homeless.

Later on in the show, we’re joined by James O’Keefe, and we discuss his latest scoop exposing CBS faking the news. The channel's reporters recently broadcast a video of a testing facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, showing long, long lines of people waiting to be tested for COVID-19. Because of an incredible Project Veritas whistleblower, we now know these lines were faked and included the clinics healthcare workers who posed as patients to make the lines seem more full!

James also discusses the massive pushback against his work over the years and how he has been able to maintain his team’s integrity and results throughout it all. Project Veritas has seen a full legal assault to try and silence their journalism and James explains how they’ve been able to win lawsuit after lawsuit. We also hear James favorite recipe and the work of art he finds most inspiring.

Like most of you, we’ve been catching up on streaming shows over the last several weeks and in this week’s podcast, we discuss our favorites, including the hit TLC show 90 Day Fiance. The program was popular even before the pandemic hit, but recently, its ratings have skyrocketed! Finally, we 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.

Daily Virus #28 | Masks On The Beach? May 12, 2020

Show notes

As you may recall, we have been waiting anxiously to get our beach access back in Los Angeles. After much anticipation, the county has announced they will open this week . . . but with strings attached! If you want to go the beach in Los Angeles you must be engaging in active activities - no sitting! And if you are not in the water - you must wear a mask. This latest order by Los Angeles shows that these overpaid public health officials and politicians aren't really relying on science - it's all politics and power.

Today we also hear about Fauci's testimony in front of the Senate HELP committee. Fauci told the New York Times last night that he predicts "needless" deaths if the economy reopens too quickly. We debunk the media's hysteria surrounding Fauci's statements.

On today's episode we also talk about Elon Musk and his quest to reopen his Tesla factory in California. After battling with county officials, Musk decided to take matters into his own hands and open against the county order.

Lastly, we revisit our friend Governor Hot Spot who has a new name for the Wuhan Virus - and it's not what you'd think...

Daily Virus #27 | Some Thoughts On Plandemic May 11, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode we take a very evenhanded look at the "Plandemic" video that has been spreading through social media like wildfire. As documentary filmmakers, we examine some of the strengths and weaknesses of the film and what could have made the film more credible. But we know one thing for sure - we cannot trust the film's major critics! The mainstream media has rushed to discredit the film since it's publishing and we know for sure they cannot be trusted to cover the virus or the film fairly.

Also on today's episode we further examine the economic ramifications of the lockdowns. The "lockdown forever" crowd uses anti-capitalist arguments to try and discredit the economic ramifications of the virus. They say things like, "You just care about business not people." That couldn't be farther from the truth. In reality, thousands of Americans are dying from lack of employment and lack of hope.

We also talk about the new travel restrictions for the U.K. which could destroy business travel and tourism, China's attempt to refute coronavirus blame, and more!

Daily Virus #26 | Should "Chinese Virus" Be BANNED? May 08, 2020

Show notes

Instead of working on public health guidelines or helping businesses reopen, the San Antonio City Council has decided that it's much more important to regulate the speech of their residents. Phrases like the "Chinese Virus" and the "Kung Fu Flu" could be banned under guidelines under consideration by city councilors. This is a very slippery slope that could encourage other "woke" cities to follow in their footsteps.

In terrible news, the unemployment rate has hit a whopping 14.7%. We discuss whether these folks will be rehired and what jobs may not return after the lockdown. Huge corporations in the sharing economy like Airbnb and Uber are taking massive hits at the moment. Will they be able to recover?

We also look at new data from New York which is a bit embarrassing for our friend Governor Hot Spot. New data shows that 66% of people who were hospitalized for the Wuhan Virus were people who stayed home. It's critical that states reevaluate their lockdown strategies - especially if this is found in other states.

Lastly we revisit our old pal Joe Biden's podcast . . . or what's left of it. The former Vice President has announced this will be his final podcast . . . even thought the election is months away.

Daily Virus #25 | JAILED For Opening A Salon May 07, 2020

Show notes

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 not by much. Now some retail will be allowed but it must be drive up style only. This means that customers cannot enter the store. How will clothing stores be able to sell their products effectively? It makes absolutely no sense.

We also talk about Neil Ferguson and his latest slip up. Not only is Ferguson the architect of the faulty models that plunged the world into paranoia and economic destruction . . . he violated his own "quarantine" mantra! You won't believe this latest case of "lockdown for thee but not for me!"

Also on today's episode we talk about Hollywood's calls for a "new normal" and the latest on Governor Hot Spot's subway fiasco!

#41: Has Cuomo DESTROYED New York? With Heather MacDonald! May 06, 2020

Show notes

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 York is being destroyed by the lockdown and the panic surrounding it. We hear how Governor Hotspot is ignoring the reality of his state and treating every county the same - even areas where there have been no cases. Heather is also an authority on Black Live Matter and we discuss how her facts triggered an actor on Phelim’s play Ferguson and the chaos that ensued.

Finally, we wrap up the interview asking Heather about her favorite thing to cook and her favorite piece of art. Our guest is quite the cook, so you’ll definitely want to tune in to hear her answer! Especially her divisive views on vegetables.

We’re also joined by journalist Alana Goodman, who revealed the fascinating story of how it looks like the leftist media may have helped cover up an alleged murder. they tried to pin a death on President Trump after a couple consumed fish tank cleaner, claiming they followed the President’s recommendation that it was a treatment for Coronavirus. Or at least that’s the story the media wanted you to believe. Alana’s work is an incredible piece of journalism and in it she reveals the true story behind those claims. It is a True Crime classic story.

Daily Virus #24 | Lockdowns Are Not About "Science" May 05, 2020

Show notes

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. Phase 2 is not a huge improvement . . . it allows for some nonessential retail stores to reopen which will hopefully allow small businesses to start competing with the big stores like Walmart who have been allowed to remain open despite high foot traffic in these stores. How is Walmart safer than your local book store? It's not!

After Russian doctors complained about lack of protective equipment in the Russian media . . . they have fallen from windows and "committed suicide" in the past few weeks. Are these truly horrific suicides carried out by these doctors? Or is this the Russian governments way of silencing whistleblowers? It seems very similar to the disappearance of Chinese whistleblowers that the media has neglected to cover.

Lastly we talk about the Pulitzer Prize awards that we released yesterday. You won't believe who won. It seems like the Pulitzer Prize has become the "Fake News Awards."

Happy Cinco De Mayo! We may be celebrating with a few cocktails this afternoon. We hope you enjoy the day despite the circumstances!

Daily Virus #23 | The Never Ending Lockdown May 04, 2020

Show notes

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/hospitalization rates/cases in the state. How does that bode for the rest of us?

We discuss more on the governors of America as the Wall Street Journal rolls out their coronavirus grading system. It's bipartisan and gives you an interesting look at which governors are handling the crisis the best. Some of them you wouldn't expect!

The Wall Street Journal has yet to release the full list, be we are interested to see how Governor Gruesome Newsom ranks. He has infuriated much of Southern California with his fact free beach closures.

Additionally, we discuss how borders between countries have become COOL again! Isn't that funny? The open borders crowd has really changed their tune in the midst of this pandemic.
