We are joined by Kristy Swanson! Kristy is the incredible actress who played Lisa Page in Phelim's play FBI Lovebirds which was released on YouTube this Monday. You may know Kristy from her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pretty In Pink, Big Daddy, Psych, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. In the past few years, Kristy has been one of the most outspoken conservatives and Trump supporters in Hollywood. She discuses this experience with Ann & Phelim as well as what it was like to star in FBI Lovebirds live with Dean Cain. We also discuss the latest in David Daleiden's court battle against Planned Parenthood and why the case really is about abortion, even thought the mainstream media and the court would have you believe otherwise. Have you heard about Samuel Little? Some in the media argue that he's the “most prolific serial killer in U.S. history.” We beg to disagree - abortionist Kermit Gosnell takes the top prize. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ap-scoop/message

Homelessness in the U.S. has remained almost flat in 2018, highlighting the magnitude of the problem in Seattle, where the number of homeless people swelled by more than 10 times the national average, according to new federal data. Homelessness rose 0.3 percent nationally this year, according to a report released Monday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The agency announced the results of counts of homeless people from one night in January in more than 3,000 cities and counties, a study that’s been conducted annually for more than a decade. Seattle remained — as it has since 2015 — third in the nation when it comes to the sheer number of homeless people.Seattle Times
