Summary
This is our last show from Ireland for a while. We’ve had some very special houseguests, including our friends Alan and Lisa Robertson from Duck Dynasty and the Unashamed Podcast.
They had a great time seeing the sights with us—watch the podcast to see our journey to a very interesting pub.
Also on today’s show, we reveal how the “nice people” in society are declaring YOU unfit for existence, from the womb to old age. We bring you a chilling interview exposing the questionable science and moral vacuum in the gold rush for designer babies.
And watch the show to learn about the horrific expansions of Canada’s assisted suicide law. You won’t believe how common it has become and how much of America is heading down the same path.
The New Yorker magazine—home of great writing and writers—has a racist on its staff. But don’t worry—she’s the fashionable kind. She only hates white people, so the left has no problem with that.
We also have an exclusive story this week as we uncover the great veteran disability scam and how America’s love affair with its military is allowing bad actors to rob us blind.
Listen as the financial Jerry Springer exposes a veterans’ scandal while trying to pound sense into some Gen Z deadbeats.

| 0:00.0 | And by the way, at the very beginning of the article, he describes this like, you know, symposium. |
| 0:03.9 | Like to go to this medical conference. |
| 0:05.3 | And it's not really a medical conference. It's a killing conference. And it's like 300 people at it. And they're all there, you know, you have a drink with me later on. And it's a big networking thing going on. And they're all hanging out with each other, you know. It's a huge business. It's a massive business. |
| 0:19.2 | I liked, there was one line, |
| 0:20.4 | this particular line I liked in the Atlantic, |
| 0:22.1 | this is the story of an ideology in motion. Hello, my name is Anne McElheny. I'm Phelan. And welcome to the Anne and Phelham Scoop. Yes. We're still in ERA, still in Ireland. We've had lots of visitors, haven't we, Phel had a lot of visitors, including visitors from over in America. In America? We had Lisa and Alan Robertson, who's so great. They came in. Lisa and Alan from Duck Dynasty. From Duck Dynasty. Alan, you remember, is the beardless one. Alan's a pastorless one. Alan's a pastor and Lisa, his wife. |
| 0:55.0 | We met them, actually we met them on, where we're on MRC crews, media research |
| 1:00.5 | center, Cruz, become great friends. |
| 1:03.4 | And as you may know, Alan's father died, Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, |
| 1:09.2 | or as you guys say, dynasty, died. And I think we just phoned him up and he says, you know, we're always inviting him over to Ireland, always inviting him over to Ireland. And he... And this time they're like, we'd really like to come to Ireland. Yes. We're like, do it. Yeah. So they came to stay. They had, actually, I have to say they had an amazing immersion into Irish culture. Yes. In fact, I would almost say you should have made it more touristy. Yes, yeah, you're right. They were in a lot of people's homes. Yes, right. Did it a lot of just down and ordinary Irish stuff. Yes, and they went to local plays. You know, they didn't go to the Abbey in Dublin. |
| 1:45.4 | They went to local, mind you, the standard of plays and acting in Irish community series is truly amazing. |
| 1:51.7 | So they went to a performance of the field, at J.B. Keens, the Field, in Ballahadrine County, Rosscommon, |
| 1:59.7 | you know, which I think gives them a really interesting insight |
| 2:03.4 | into the culture of Irish land, Irish violence, Irish religion, sometimes the thinness of Catholicism, |
| 2:12.7 | you know, Irish suspicion of outsiders, Irish. |
| 2:16.2 | Obsession with owning land, I think, and all of that. Yes. But they also, they also, we brought them to Irish pub, so they had, they tried the Irish Guinness and all of that. Yes. But they also got to go. Well, I took them to an IRA pub as well, which I think is fair enough description of it. There's a photograph of Alan and Lisa in said pub. And I'll say an IRA supporting pub. They were supposed to go up north and meet some people from the, well, they've met some people from the unionist community. And they were going to give them a guided tour of certain unionist landmarks or meet people up there. But unfortunately, ill health just didn't work out. They were able to go that day. So they got a bit of a one-sided view. But they got to go, but they got to go to a castle. So we brought them to a castle and they couldn't get over it and really enjoyed it. And actually were served Irish coffee, which I think they'd never had before. And they became, I think it was their favorite drink of the whole time, their favorite tipple. Don't forget, by the way, I did the Irish coffee recipe on the podcast in the past. Irish coffee is very, very nice. Those two things. |
| 3:11.9 | The, I don't want to go too many details, but the person serving the coffee, who made the coffee. |
| 3:16.9 | Yes. |
| 3:17.3 | Was, let's just say, as a former butler to some very, very high level figures. So for them to |
| 3:24.1 | make in the Irish coffee was amazing. The glasses, they were served and had had measures. Had measures. To make it much easier for the person who was making the Irish coffee to do it correctly. I think we should just play, actually, by the way. I really think we should play my recipe for the Irish coffee. Actually, you know what? We'll do that at the end. We do that at the end. |
| 3:41.5 | So if you want to watch that, |
| 3:42.6 | we'll have that recipe at the very end. |
