John Corsi
Good evening, America. Happy Thursday and welcome to the latest edition of Just the News. No noise. I'm your host, John Salam reporting to you as always from the nation's capital, where today, just a few minutes ago, we got word of a new development in the accountability investigation involving Russia collusion, as the FBI director James Comey has been subpoenaed in an investigation into the creation of the intelligence community assessment. That's the document that said that the intelligence community assessed that it was Russia's intent to help Donald Trump win the 2016 election. As we now know, that was highly disputed and was may have been based significantly on the very discredited Steele dossier. If there's going to be any charges brought in that case, they've been focused on maybe John Brennan, his testimony, whether his emails and his testimony match up on that, John, James Comey would be an important witness in that. But we are. We have confirmed from multiple sources that James Comey did get a subpoena in connection with that specific issue from Russia. Collusion. That's a little bit say. Meanwhile, we got a lot of news from PETEXF this morning on just the extent of America's military success in Iran. Doesn't mean there aren't challenges ahead, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz. But the Navy, the Air Force, the missile batteries, much of the drone and missiles building capacities have been flattened by American capabilities in Iran. That was a big win today. Missile attacks being launched from Iran, down 90%, a big number. With that, I'm going to turn to my amazing co host Amanda Head. Amanda, good day all around. A lot of news.
- [02:02]
John Salam
Indeed. Indeed. Yes. And the United States military, no surprise, the greatest fighting force in the world with President Trump behind them, a president who is very vocal and passionate about his support of the military.
- [02:13]
John Corsi
Yeah. There was a moment, 22 moments in the press conference this morning with Hegseth and General Kaine that were amazing. Both men took time to pay tribute to the fallen, the six who came back yesterday to Dover paying the ultimate sacrifice. And then General Kaine went into what it takes to go on one of these long bomber missions. And the detail was amazing. You could realize how much he appreciated the young men and women that are part of those bomber programs. I thought it was a very special tribute. You don't see it often, but it was, it was a pretty powerful moment.
- [02:41]
John Salam
And I remember the descriptions last year when we first struck Iran, the description of just how long and arduous that type of mission would be another story I wanted to follow up on. Former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Yes, in a redo of a restaurant from here in Virginia, but now in her home state of Arkansas in Little Rock, the little blue pocket of Little Rock, Arkansas, kicked her out of their restaurant, flips her the finger and I just say, my goodness, that's not Southern hospitality. I'm an Alabama girl. That is not how we treat people.
- [03:13]
John Corsi
Yes, intolerance still grows in our country. We've been so busy with war and the Save America act, there's been some big things going on in American history. One of those, we just surpassed the 39 trillion mark when it comes to national debt of a number that our founding fathers could never have imagined. Earlier today we talked to one of the clarion voices in the Congress about getting control of the debt and getting control of our fiscal house. Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky, have a watch of what we talked about. All right, folks, I'm excited to kick off tonight's show with a conversation most media don't want to have. You saw this news alert on Just the News a couple of days ago. The national debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. And by the way, we're rolling up at a rate of 2 to 3 trillion dollars a year even under President Trump. Our first guest has been a clarion voice on getting our fiscal house in order. He has a very simple six point plan that could get us there in five years. He represents the great state of Kentucky. He is Senator Rand Paul. Senator, great to have you on the show today.
- [04:15]
Senator Rand Paul
Thank you. You know, one of the unique things about the six penny plan that isn't always realized by everybody is it has to be 6% of everything. So when we get a budget and we vote on it, which isn't often, but when we do, it's only on about one third of spending. It's military and non military. They call it discretionary spend. That's only about a third of all the spending. Two thirds of the spending is on autopilot. It's Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps and a host of other welfare programs. Nobody ever seems to vote on that. So you can't cut just 6% of the discretionary budget. You got to cut 6% of everything. But we really need to put this in front of people. People say, well, how could you ever cut food stamps? Well, one way I would do it is I would quit paying for sugar drinks. I'd quit paying for chips, Ding Dongs, Twinkies, donuts, bags of candy for Goodness sakes. I would probably also say food stamps should only go to maybe moms with four kids who can't work. That's what they were intended for. But I think an able bodied, 19, 20, 21 year old boy or girl really has no business on food stamps. You know, it should be people somehow are trapped in their circumstances and cannot work. But we don't ever touch any of these mandatory programs. Medicare, Medicaid. Could we not cut a few points off the top and not even really affect health care? So I think there's a lot of things that we could do, but we have to be braver in this and both parties are guilty of it. I mean right now Republicans are talking about increasing the military budget from 1 trillion to 1.5 trillion. That would mean our debt would go up to about two and a half trillion a year. It's not sustainable and, and it's probably more dangerous to us than any other foreign country. I think our debt is the most dangerous thing we face.
- [06:07]
John Salam
I think a lot of people look at your six penny plan and they think, okay, well it sounds good, but how on Earth is 6 cents on every dollar going to actually make a dent on such a huge debt? But there's actually a surprisingly short timeline for this. I believe it's five years.
- [06:21]
Senator Rand Paul
Yeah, it balances in five years. But it's important to know that it has to be every bit, it's 6% of the entire budget doesn't work on just the discretionary budget. But here's the way I like to present it and I think it is more reasonable, people hear it. So we have people come to us all the time. I get a group every week. It's often something very sympathetic. It's often something that members of your family have dementia, Alzheimer's. They want research money for Alzheimer's. And I say to them, well, we're a rich country and we should be able to provide some government money for research. But we are short of money and we spend about 7 trillion and we bring in about 5 trillion. What if I told you next year I know your grandmother has Alzheimer's and you want this research money. You got 100 million last year from the federal government. What if we gave you 94 million? And you know what, virtually every one of those people who are emotionally involved in that, that money and they want it will look at me and say, well, gosh, if everybody's doing it, that sounds reasonable and they get up and walk out and don't think I'm a horrible person who doesn't appreciate this disease. I think people actually would accept it. But if you tell this to a politician up here, that we're going to cut Alzheimer's research by 6% next year or the grants for it, they would say, oh my goodness, we'll campaign against you for hating the elderly and not liking, not wanting to, you know, cure Alzheimer's. But actually the people involved are much more open than you would imagine.
- [07:49]
John Corsi
I want to ask a little bit. Republicans have been in charge for much of the time that this debt has exploded. The we had a chance with Doge that didn't really result in any really significant savings right now. The vice President got this portfolio. This is an opportunity for him to make a mark for history. What advice would you give JD Vance as he embarks on an effort to save some money? What can he potentially create with all of the resistance in Congress to tackle this issue?
- [08:18]
Senator Rand Paul
You know, Congress should step up and I'm trying to do this. We should audit every, every program. The problem with a lot of these programs are, is that you sign up for them at the state level and then the federal government pays for most of it. So food stamps, Medicaid, I believe you sign up at the state level and they're shared between state and federal. But like food stamps, I think over 90% are paid for by the federal government. Medicaid, it depends on your state. But somewhere between 50 and 90% of the money comes from the federal government. So we keep paying and then many of the states just don't seem to care. So for example, many of the states will give anybody a driver's license and then you're allowed to use the driver's license either to vote or sign up for free welfare program without a, any sort of scrutiny. So I think the federal dollars we have to institute it can the executive branch do. They should do everything they can to scrutinize it. Doge had a lot of good ideas. We had these young computer geniuses come in here. We should go through all of this and try to figure out who is receiving, who isn't. And I know, John, you reported on a lot of this, but the idea, you know, the rules, some of the rules in place actually are pretty decent. You're not supposed to get any kind of welfare if you have come to this country in the last five years legally. If you come illegally, you're not supposed to get any at all. Now the one thing we do need to change is we need to change this refugee status or special immigrant status. I think they should be Ineligible. The same way all other legal immigrants, they should be ineligible for welfare. They want to come here and they have a rough time. And your church wants to support somebody, that's a noble thing and that's charitable. You do it. Or if you want to provide somebody a job, that's also great. But if that isn't provided and the church isn't helping them and a person's not helping them, they should go back. So only people that come should have a sponsor. There should be no welfare for any of these special immigrant visas. That would fix a lot of the problems. I know you've reported about, like, the Somali population. It's like, what, nearly 90% of them are on welfare 10 years after they've gotten here. That shouldn't happen.
- [10:26]
John Corsi
Amazing. No permanent welfare.
- [10:29]
John Salam
State Senator, speaking of rules, I know that you have been a very longtime supporter of rules in voting, and this Save America act obviously has a lot of great provisions. And I know Democrats are really kind of focusing on the showing your ID at the polls. But there's something that I grew up with that I think hits at the heart of another concern that they have, and that is when they have these. These voter initiatives, they would have concerts and, you know, Rock the Vote. They would have a bunch of celebrities show up, and people who just happen to be there to see, you know, 50 Cent or whoever it was would sign up to vote. But if you require proof of citizenship upon that registration, that. That hits at something that has been a voter driver for them for decades.
- [11:13]
Senator Rand Paul
Yeah, I think we need to verify who's voting. Absolutely. I also think it's very important to vote in person. So after the 2020 election, I read of the accounts of over 100,000 people in Wisconsin voting by mail without a witness signing it. That's illegal. They used to always be tossed out. But because so many people voted that way, the local voting officials changed the state law, even though they didn't have the ability to, and they just counted all these votes. So right after the election, I flew down to Florida to the National Republican Committee meeting and said, we have to do something about this. We can try. At the federal level, it's more difficult because it's difficult to get the votes. But every state that is Republican should fix their voting, particularly Georgia, particularly Arizona, These battleground states, we need to fix it. We control the legislature. Let's fix it. Even in Kentucky, which is a Republican state, I went back and talked with my state legislators, and we did fix it. So in Kentucky, 97 to 98%, maybe even higher vote in person. It's a felony to list an incorrect or an invalid reason for why you want to vote by mail. You. Almost everybody votes in person. And the reason why in person voting is inherently more valid is simple. There's a book. If the book is valid and people are citizens in the book, your name's in the book. You come in, there's a Republican sitting there and a Democrat, you immediately have an adjudication of, is this the right person? You show your id, your name has to be in the book. When you finish. We have paper ballots. If 1,000 people voted that day, they should all be in the book. Both the Republican and Democrat agreed that they were in the book and it's the right person and we have a thousand pieces of paper at the end of the day, so much better election than having all this stuff mailed in. I will tell you, there's about five Republican states that even if I'm for the SAVE Act, I will vote for it at every step of the way. But even if it doesn't pass, we should be going to the five Republican states that still do these mail in ballots. I mean, Arizona is a big one and it's a, you know, we used to control the state House, state Senate and governorship, and we still let the mail in ballots, you know, proliferate. Because what happens with the mail in ballots is there's not the same in person, check and balance, but there also are people harvesting them. There are people showing up at your house day in and day out. And then finally, if you're still too lazy to fill it out, they'll fill it out for you. All I got to do is hold your hand up to the signature, witness it and take it in for you. That's not the, I think a valid way of voting and I think it's rife for fraud.
- [13:50]
John Corsi
Do you feel before we let you go, sir, that there's a way to get to a deal in the Senate or the Democrats too intractable on this issue?
- [13:58]
Senator Rand Paul
Well, it's, it's not just Democrats. We have to get all the Republicans first. And the problem with mail in voting is I think they're, I think Republicans are fairly unified on the citizenship part. And while I'm for all of it, in fact, I think the mail in is as important as the citizenship. If we can't get a coalition on that, you sometimes have to narrow your bill. So I'm not opposed to narrowing the bill if it means we can get it passed to only doing citizenship. I think if you narrow it to citizenship, you might be able to get all 53 Republicans and one or two Democrats. Then you're within four or five votes of actually getting there. I don't know if we can get there, but I can tell you it's worth having the debate because, you know, Utah is an overwhelmingly Republican state and they mail out ballots to everybody and they like it. Alaska is a Republican state. They mail out ballots to everybody. Arizona mails out ballots. I think Montana mails out ballots. So, you know, we have to get a handle on that. But we have to get these Republican states to actually go and realize that they may not be Republican states forever if they keep mailing these ballots and encouraging people to vote who really never would ever bother to show up to vote otherwise.
- [15:11]
John Corsi
Wise words. We'll be looking to see maybe that skinnier bill gets, gets us moving in a direction of what the American people want. Senator, it's always a great honor on your show. We always walk away a lot smarter when you come on. Thanks for joining us.
- [15:23]
Senator Rand Paul
Thanks for having me.
- [15:25]
John Corsi
Yeah. Great conversation as always. All right, folks, we're going to take a quick commercial break. More ahead right after these messages. Hey, folks. President Trump has a plan to correct the greatest financial injustice in our nation's history. In 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt seized America's gold and artificially set its official value at $35 per ounce. Now, nearly 90 years later, our national gold reserves are still officially valid at just $42.22 per ounce. While gold trades for get a little less over $5,000 in the real world, this math era has undervalued America's gold reserves by over $1.3 trillion. Now, Trump's plan to revalue our gold to market prices could trigger the biggest wealth transfer event in a generation. But here's the urgent part. Central banks worldwide have been quietly stockpiling over 1,000 tons of gold per year since 2023. They know what's coming. Wall street analysts are predicting gold could rise as high as $10,000 an ounce to even $24,000 per ounce when the great gold reset happens. Yet most Americans have never heard of this revaluation opportunity. Historically, our history shows there is typically a critical window between when smart money positions and when the announcement becomes public knowledge. We are currently inside that window. Smart investors are moving portions of their retirement savings in a tax free gold IRAs before Trump triggers this reset. If you want to protect your retirement from currency devaluation and position for the great gold reset, here's your opportunity, call 855-Gold-340 or visit john likes gold.com to speak with precious metals specialists right now. Don't wait until Trump makes the announcement. By then it'll be too late to position at today's prices. The great gold reset. The only question is, will you be positioned or caught off guard

John Salam
Welcome back, everybody, to Just the News. No noise. Plenty happening up on Capitol Hill today, not the least of which, of course, being the Senate debating the Save America act, but without being able to pass it with a simple majority, is all of the debate and future vote just for show. There's also a ton of debate going on about our immigration system after we've had these terrorist attacks witnessed here in the United States in just the past few weeks that were allegedly done by naturalized citizens. So joining us to discuss all of this and more, Senator from the great state of Alabama and gubernatorial candidate for Alabama, Senator Tommy Tuberville. Sir, thanks so much for being with us.
- [18:28]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Coach, thank you. Thank you. Glad to be here.
- [18:31]
John Salam
Glad to have you. Let's start with Save America Act. We just spoke to your colleague on Capitol Hill, Senator Rand Paul, and he mentioned that he thought that there might be a very, very skinny path for Save America act to get to actual passage. Do you think that that's possible? And if so, what's got to be nipped and tucked about it?
- [18:51]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Well, that's news to me. You know, we, last time I looked, we're not going to bust the filibuster. Talking filibuster. We can't get 50 votes to do it in regular order. We've got to have at least seven votes from the Democrats. That's not going to happen. So I wish we get it passed. It's the only thing that really, that President Trump's asked us to do after the one big beautiful bill. But you know, for some reason, my, my side, the Republicans want to hang on to this tradition in the Senate of, of a filibuster. And you know, sooner or later we're going to have to wake up and understand it. When they win majority, they're going to bust it the first day and then we're going to be in tough shape. But, you know, I'm going to go by our leadership. They're running the show and we'll see what happens. But we'll be a lot of, a lot of debates, a lot of speeches. But that doesn't mean a hill of beans, to be honest with you. You can go out there and speak all you want. Democrats are going to follow the party line and they're going to vote against everything that Donald Trump wants.
- [19:54]
John Corsi
Yeah, man, that's the cold, hard truth. There's no doubt about it. So I want to talk about what we've learned this week in some newly declassified documents showing that the US intelligence community has known since 2020 that China breached some of the voter registration data in America, multiple states. We don't know the total numbers because it remains classified. But the declassified documents make clear that those breaches were known in 2020 and they were kept secret from the Congress, the American public and possibly President Trump because of concerns that the intelligence community didn't like his policies. How important is it to get to the bottom of those files, whatever they are getting declassified, get them to the American public, get into the Senate.
- [20:37]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Well, every time I go home, John, to Alabama, people want to know what is going on. We know something happened. Can somebody explain? Please explain it to us. And is my vote going to count? Are you going to pass the Voting Rights act or the Save America Act? And it's hard to explain, it really is. But I'm glad, John, you have been on top of this from day one. We've all known that the elections were rigged in some form or fashion, especially in 2020. There's about 15 states in this country that just bend over backwards to do something to make sure the elections go their way. I'm glad we've come out and finally understand that China was behind a lot of this. And again, we haven't heard any of this. We haven't. We will get the facts sooner or later. But again, I think the American people will appreciate it more than anybody of hey, the mainstream media has been lying to you the whole time. This was the fix was in and China was behind it. We know other people were behind it, but at least now we know China was guilty. Guilty is called.
- [21:43]
John Salam
Senator, couldn't hypothetically speaking, a country intervene or interfere or try to hack our elections in favor of a non Democrat candidate, in favor of a Republican candidate? Or do Democrats just always assume that if a foreign country interferes that they're doing it on behalf of Democrats? And therefore, who cares?
- [22:00]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Yeah, Democrats are win at any cost because all they do is love power. They want to change this country. Now if the, a lot of the people on the left would, would start going back to the center, then we'd have an opportunity to make this work and all work together. But again, any, any way to keep power, the Democrats are for it.
- [22:23]
John Salam
Sir, I want to hop over to the subject of Iran. President Trump seems to have a really, really core group of his base that support him. We've seen a number of polls that say the MAGA base, they are 100% behind the president. But we are also seeing some fractions on the Republican side of the aisle. How badly does that affect midterms?
- [22:45]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Well, people up here, all they do is they look for the fence and which, which way to straddle it. Which way to which way is going to help them get more votes instead of going and doing what's best for the American people in our country and especially for the future of our country. So, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's very scary place up here when you don't speak for your people in your state, but you speak for yourself and trying to get reelected. That, that's, that's not a, that's not something I like very much up here.
- [23:13]
John Corsi
Senator. I want to talk about things that we're learning about threats on our own soil. In January, the Homeland Security Department found three members of the Revolutionary Guard on our soil. They forcibly deported them quickly. That's a good thing. One of the many threats that Iran posed near to our home, we're told there has been a sold US cells here that are always ready to be activated. And then we're seeing a growing number of these Islamists carrying out attacks. Four or five in the last two weeks alone. Almost all of them having some Islamist extremist ideology. And now some evidence of Muslim leaders, extremist Muslim leaders calling for Sharia law on our own soil. Are we ready for the reckoning and are we ready to fight back to make sure that those things don't become the norm here?
- [24:03]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Yeah, I'm afraid that we don't have enough people that have woken up to the idea of the, the Sharia law and the Koran and the radical Islamic people. They're coming and they don't want to assimilate it all. They want to take our country and make something different of it like they've already done in Europe. Europe to get their countries back, whether it's Germany, France, Italy, uk They're going to fight in the streets. And this is from the people I talk to in those countries. They're saying the only way we can get it back because they've lost their leadership. The leadership is going to the Muslim side. And listen, I don't care if you're Muslim or not, but don't come here and try to change our rules and our laws. Don't come here and try to live off the American people, work with us, make our country better. But do not teach and preach Sharia law and do not go by the Koran because it teaches people in this country to kill all Americans. And that's not going to work here. So they're doing it in Europe. We can't let it come here. And if we continue to let it grow, we're in. We're going to be up a creek without a paddle. It's going to be a very tough road for us. And I don't want that to happen to our kids and our grandkids.
- [25:15]
John Salam
Sir, there is another problem up on Capitol Hill, particularly on the House side, but you have members of Congress who, while they haven't formally declared devotion to another country over the United States, they sure seem to maneuver and legislate. Legislate in a way that places other countries priorities over our own nations like Somalia. Should there be some type of amendment that reigns this in. Maybe you have to be born here, something.
- [25:42]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Yeah, well, it used to be that way and it used to be that you couldn't, you couldn't even have a chance to get elected if you were from another country and didn't show, didn't show allegiance to the United States or America. But a lot of that's gone by because the integral, the, the interpretation of what a lot of these professors are teaching to a lot of young people coming up and it's becoming a norm. But we can't continue to allow this to happen. You know, we need to take these people and take their committee assignments away from them, put them on the back bench, don't let them make any decisions. We've had people on the Intelligence Committee in the House that are from third world countries that hate this country. Now think about that. It makes no sense to me at all. And again, a lot of people don't like to speak up. But folks, Europe was the same way 10 years ago. If they would have spoken up and put their foot down and said, we're not changing our culture, our moral values, we're not going to go down this road, they would be in much better shape today, but they're almost gone because they didn't speak up. That's the reason I speak up today. I don't care what they say about me. I am for the United States of America. My dad died for this country in the military. And, and I'll be danged if I'm going to sit around and not speak my peace about what's going on now because they're slowly moving in, taking over 800 mosque in this country. And again, it is wrong. And again, there's some good Muslims out there, but they don't go by Sharia law and the Koran. That's the difference. And so we cannot allow this to continue to happen.
- [27:13]
John Corsi
Sir, before we let you go yesterday, we had our opportunity to hear, and again today from the intelligence community leaders, Tulsi Gabbard, the CIA director, John Ratcliffe, the FBI director, a lot of important information about the dangerous world we live in. There's been some question about what Tulsi Gabbard was trying to convey yesterday about whether she supported the President or not. Do you have any takeaways from yesterday's threat assessment in the Senate or today's in the House?
- [27:40]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Yeah, actually, we watched some of that. I was on Air Force One with the president most of the day yesterday, going to Delaware for the young men and women coming home that lost their lives in that plane crash. 13 of them were from, from Alabama. There's one reason I went. And, and she's basically saying what she understands, what she hears, what she reads. I mean, when you're in intelligence, you just speak not what you believe, but what you're reading. And the, and the feeling out there that you're getting from all your intelligence now, you know, the, what I got out of is Tulsa Galbert was basically saying this, this happened, this happened. Come out one way or another and say what we should be doing or not doing. That's not her choice. The choice goes with the commander in chief. And so the commander in chief has taken them on. It's the only time in our life that we'll have an opportunity to put terrorism in its right place, which is the bottom of the ocean, the Gulf that they're fighting on. And at the end of the day, they're backed up against the wall. This is the last straw for, for, for the Iranians with the Strait of Hormuz. And if we can put this to, to bed here very quickly and open that, that, that straight up and give the country back to the Iranian people, this, this world would be so Much better off.
- [28:53]
John Corsi
Yeah, for sure.
- [28:55]
John Salam
Indeed. Senator from the great state of Alabama and also gubernatorial candidate for that state, Tommy Tuberville. Thanks so much for being here. Coach.
- [29:02]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Thank you. God bless.
- [29:05]
John Salam
Same to you, sir. All right, everybody. Coming up next, we're going to discuss the bill that will allow individuals who underwent gender transition procedures as minors to pursue legal action against hospitals and medical professionals. That's more that more on the other side.
- [29:29]
John Corsi
Welcome back, America. When I was a young political reporter, I met an extraordinary woman named Phyllis Schaffley. She did incredible things for this country. She was one of the conservative founders of the conservative movement that we all live in today. Her daughter has carried on that legacy in extraordinary ways. She's an author. She's the chairman of the Eagle Forum, and she's here to join us today. Anne Corsi, Shafty. Ann, great to have you.
- [29:54]
Ann Schaffley
Thank you so much. John. Pleasure to be here.

I want to start by just asking a bigger question. I know we want to talk about the Chloe Cole act, which is such an important piece of legislation. We're at a moment now where sometimes I feel like the world is a crazy place. You want to stop and say, can I get off this one? I'm on the wrong bus. The idea that there are people in America today who believe that someone else's children could be their property to make and hide decisions from their parents and do things like lifelong maiming surgeries, it didn't seem that possible 10 years ago or 20 years ago. We'd live in that world, but it really is here. How did we get to this moment?
- [30:33]
Ann Schaffley
Well, it all goes back to the idea that males and females are interchangeable in every situation. And that was the promise that feminism pushed in the 1970s when my mother started her campaign against this radical ideology. Males and females are not interchangeable. And you can't just wake up one day and decide that you are a male or you are a female after living your. After biology already determined what you are. And this denial of biological truths is crazy because it is turning doctors into butchers. And doctors should always use the Hippocratic oath, which says, first, do no harm. And we have young women like Chloe Cole who had a double mastectomy at age 15. And that is reprehensible. And the doctors who butchered her should be held accountable.
- [31:36]
John Salam
Her story is absolutely remarkable. And the amount of courage that it takes, especially for these young people to realize that, you know, sure, they may have made a mistake, but they were in an emotional state. My goodness, the teen years for everyone is very awkward and everyone just feels like their brain and emotions are in disarray. But talk to us about what the Chloe Cole act would do, practically speaking.
- [31:58]
Ann Schaffley
Well, the Chloe Cole act extends the statute of limitations. And this is important, important because this damage is done to children, and the children are in no position to have informed consent on these procedures that are being done to them. Furthermore, there has been emotional blackmail on the parents. They say to the parents, the therapists, the schools say to the parents, if you don't do this, your child is going to commit suicide. Well, that's emotional blackmail. And so the parents are distraught. And so they're. I saw where one child who really wants to go back to being what she really is, is afraid that if she says that her parents are going to feel guilty about putting her through the trauma. So there needs to be a long statue of limitations. And I believe that the Chloe Cole Bill says 25 years because it takes time to recover from the emotional damage that this kind of the procedures has done to the child.
- [33:08]
John Corsi
Walk us through where this legislation stands, what it needs to do, what hurdles or opportunities it faces in the near future.
- [33:15]
Ann Schaffley
Well, I'm thrilled that the president has made this legislation a priority. I think from day one of this presidency, he has stood up for the rights of girls and signed executive orders. And this is the kind of legislation we need to codify his executive orders to protect. To protect biological sex, to protect truth. And Congress has indicated that. The Republicans in Congress have indicated that this is a priority issue. So I hope that we will see this across the finish line. And if the Democrats decide this is the Hill they want to die on, go to it. Because it's an. I think all Americans can see the folly that we have been through in the last 10 years of pushing the. This radical ideology onto children to try to claim that they can just decide that they are actually a different biological sex.
- [34:17]
John Salam
And before we let you go, there was that landmark case out of New York with the detransitioner. That coupled with legislation like this, do you think that that would send a strong enough message to the medical community that you better stop doing this to kids?
- [34:29]
Ann Schaffley
It already has sent a strong message because money talks. And if you notice that right after decision was made, several medical societies announced that, oh, no, we don't support these kinds of radical ideology. Well, they did before, but they tried to walk it back and say, for example, the plastic surgeons said, oh, no, no, we're not in favor of it at all. So in my home state of Missouri, we have at the state level. We passed language that gave the the children the rights to sue the doctors and immediately the Washington University School of Medicine gender clinic closed and we need all gender clinics to close across America.
- [35:19]
John Sommer
Yeah.
- [35:19]
John Corsi
It seems like that moment may be at hand, particularly with some of the medical societies now reversing course on this. It'll be an amazing thing to watch it play out. Before we let you go, Ann, what are some of the other issues that the Eagle forum and you are working on your such a dynamic group that does so many things?
- [35:36]
Ann Schaffley
Well, I have a brand new book out called Throwing Children under the Cannabis because I think the proliferation of marijuana is also doing great damage to our children. It is being pushed with candy flavors and vaping and we're seeing a tremendous rise in mental illness because of the high toxins in marijuana. The THC levels, the active high are so much higher now and it is really causing havoc among children because the brain is not fully developed till age 25 and you shouldn't mess with those brain cells with drugs that can give you a permanent injury of psychosis and other mental illnesses.
- [36:30]
John Corsi
Yeah. Important stuff. It's hard to walk down the street in Washington, D.C. and not smell marijuana somewhere on the street nowadays. It's just remarkable how prolific it's become. Ann Chapley, what a great job for Americans, is it? Yeah, no, exactly. Well, it's a great opportunity for us to educate the next generation though. It's an amazing thing. Can't wait for your book. Congratulations on all the work you're doing. Great to have you on the show, Ann.
- [36:53]
Ann Schaffley
Thank you so much, John.
- [36:55]
John Corsi
Yeah, thank you. All right folks, quick commercial break. When we come back, one of my favorite topics I really care about this protecting yourself from a growing crime. Now a cyber crime, home title theft. We're going to take another look into some new cases and just how prolific it is right after these messages.
- [37:25]
John Salam
Welcome back everybody to the show. If you are a homeowner, it is time to protect yourself from the growing crime of home title theft. A crime that isn't always easy to detect on the surface and unfortunately it is getting easier and easier to commit. So what can you do to protect your own home? Joining us to discuss this as an Emmy and multi award winning news anchor and investigative reporter who has recently been spending his time researching the growing crime of home title theft, John Sommer. John, great to have you back with us.
- [37:53]
John Sommer
Thanks so much, Amanda and John, great to see you as always.
- [37:56]
John Salam
Yeah, good to have you. And you know we've talked many times that anyone out there, if they own a home, then they can be a target. It doesn't matter how much equity they have in their home. And so not only that, but now we've got a wide swath of people who commit the crime. A 19 year old from Riverside accused of forging the deed to a Burbank home that he didn't own and selling it through a fake real estate entity. I'm sorry, at 19 years old, most people are just trying to figure out if they want to go to college. This guy's stealing houses.
- [38:27]
John Sommer
Well, as Sam Irvin said when he chaired up the Watergate committee, even a blind hog can find an acorn sometime. Amanda, this is Burbank, not the last Burbank that we talked about. This is Burbank, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago, southwest Chicago. And you're exactly right, Amanda. Here's a kid, he's 19 years old, okay? And very creative, obviously, but he creates a llc, which he had to file with the irs. And then through the llc, started searching for homes. And they found one in Burbank, Illinois. And it happened to have been owned by a man who died. He was deceased and it was inherited by somebody else. But this kid, 19, he forms the documents to the home in the original owner's name. Then he transferred those documents that he did it very easily. In fact, the Cook County Clerk's office passed it with no questions. Then in his LLC, he sold the home. $72,000. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it really is to some people. And it wasn't until the guy that actually owned the home started to get some strange mail about the house being sold, talked to a title company and they were eventually able to trace it back to this kid's llc, and then he turned himself in. But in the meantime, as we've talked about before, Amanda and John, the actual owner of the home, still had to go through the civil system. He's still working on it to get his home back.
- [40:13]
John Corsi
That's just amazing. Yeah, the pain. Once you're caught in this trap, you're talking months or years of pain to get everything settled. A couple of weeks ago, I was up north and just happened to be watching the local TV station up there in New Hampshire, and there was an FBI agent on air, I think was wmur one of the great stations that you have when you're a campaign reporter, you watch all the time during primary season. And they had this FBI agent say, hey, this is going on A lot more. New Hampshires are being New Hampshire people are being targeted. And this was, you know, one of the agents in the community saying we're seeing a lot more of this. Why does it spread so quickly?
- [40:49]
John Sommer
Because it's so easy to do, John. And it's only been in the last 20 or 25 years that this has become a problem. And, and as I've told you folks before, originally you had to do it all by hand by going down to the clerk's office and forging deeds and getting notary stamp and that kind of stuff. Now, as this young man, this 19 year old kid was able to do, he did it all over the Internet. And that's why this has become such a crime, especially with AI artificial intelligence. And it's just almost impossible to stop unless you have some sort of a system to monitor your title.
- [41:29]
John Salam
And if this does happen to you, I mean it can be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars on the other side just trying to make yourself whole again.
- [41:39]
John Sommer
Amanda There isn't just one victim. It's not just the person that owned the home, it's the person that buys the home or the loan company that loans on the home. Everybody gets hit by this, even the banks, all of this. There are so many victims in this and it's still really difficult to unwrap. A lot of the times the criminal just gets away with it. In this case with the kid, he was caught and he turned himself in. And John, you mentioned the FBI agent in New Hampshire, and I know New Hampshire very well, this actually was identified as a crime about 25 years ago by the FBI. I worked with retired agents and at that time they called it house stealing or house theft. It's deed theft, it's title theft, it's all the same thing.
- [42:29]
John Corsi
So Tom, one of the things that I think mystifies people is all right, I bought my home, it's a big purchase is probably the biggest purchase I'm going to make in my life. It's the biggest asset for most people in their investment portfolio or their financial portfolio. And there's no chance that my local Connie Deed is not going to, is going to give the home to someone else if I don't show up and they verify it's me. But they have no obligation to check the signature or anything, right? A lot of these counties, just information in, information out. That's one of the weaknesses in this system, right?
- [43:00]
John Sommer
Absolutely. John. Although they're starting to become alerted to this particular crime, they're trying, they can only, the county clerk, whoever, they can only do so much and even local law enforcement offices are just starting to figure out that this is a, a big deal because as you say, it's not like you get hit over the head and they steal your watch. This is, you know, maybe not traumatic in that sense, but it certainly is if you've got the bulk of your estate tied up into property. And John and Amanda, it doesn't have to be just a home. It could be open land, airbnb, it could be an apartment complex. It's all up for grabs.
- [43:40]
John Corsi
Amazing. Amanda's home state of Alabama, I think just in the last day or two started to pass legislation to give more authorities to local law enforcement. So the awareness campaign that you and others have started, it's starting to get around, which is good news.
- [43:53]
John Sommer
Yeah, I just, I happened to catch Coach Tuberville, Senator Tuberville on a little bit earlier and what a great guy. But yes, I didn't know that you're from Alabama. I know you have roots down in Southern California where I am right now. And it happens here. All this fraud that is taking place right now, everything is up for grabs
- [44:16]
John Salam
right down there around you in Southern California. I think that was one of the very first cases that we discussed with you, John, was a place that was not too far in your neck of the woods. Multi award winning news anchor and investigative reporter and friend of the show, John Summer. John, thanks for being with us tonight.
- [44:32]

John Salam
Welcome back, everybody. All right, John, a bit of a cultural story. Have you an idea who Afroman is?
- [46:26]
John Corsi
Not even the slightest clue.
- [46:28]
John Salam
Afroman is a rapper from my generation. He came out with a song in the early 2000s called because I Got High. It was very, very popular. Since we were talking about weed with Anne, I figured I would float with the story as well. So he also had another song called Cult 45. But I do not recommend looking up the lyrics unless you want to clutch your pearls. At any rate, he came out in recent years after an incident that happened in 2022 and he seems to have some quite libertarian leanings, possibly conservative. He redid the song Because I Got High and and renamed it Hunter Got High after Hunter Biden. So anyway, there was a police raid on his home in Ohio in 2022.
- [47:03]
John Corsi
Okay.
- [47:04]
John Salam
And they didn't find anything. And they apparently were going in there to go after drug paraphernalia. They had indications that there was some type of trafficking going on, but that was not the case. They broke his gate, they broke his door and a number of things. So Afroman used home footage of the raid as a music video for a song that he put out very, very soon after. He made some money off of it and used that to pay for the damages to his home. The police department sued, I believe for breach of privacy, maybe defamation too.
- [47:35]
John Corsi
Wasn't it his property?
- [47:36]
John Salam
It was his property.
- [47:37]
John Corsi
Okay.
- [47:38]
John Salam
The police department sued because in the music video was their faces.
- [47:43]
John Corsi
I see.
- [47:44]
John Salam
So they sued and they lost today. And so Afroman put out a video. He is often seen in a suit that is, excuse me, headstone, American flags. Check it out.
- [48:02]
John Sommer
I didn't win.
- [48:03]
John Corsi
America won. America still has freedom of speech. It's still for the people, by the people.
- [48:11]
John Salam
So our monitor, by the way, audience is very small, John. He's wearing a head to toe American flag suit with a white fur coat over it. But he said America won. You know, there is still free speech in this country. But it brings up an interesting point because I thought about this with respect to the immigration and deportation enforcement and it kind of, it puts me to be honest on two sides of the debate, because when it comes to the, you know, deportation, you don't want the. These cops to be doxed and their families to be in danger at the same time, you know, they were on his property.
- [48:42]
John Corsi
Yeah, yeah. As you know, we all support cops, but this one here, suing the guy for defamation after you hit his house. And it wasn't. He was innocent. You might. You might want to have a better sense of humor about it. I don't know. I don't know all the details. I'd never heard of the guy. But it is an interesting case, I'll admit. That's. That's news.
- [48:59]
John Salam
I'll play that song for you. I'm gonna play this one for you.
- [49:01]
John Corsi
There you go.
- [49:02]
John Salam
Speaking of weed, when we were talking to Ann and she was. We were all kind of opining about how prevalent weed is now, I was thinking back to when I first moved to Los Angeles. This was way back in 2006, 20 years ago. And I remember, I. For those who know Los Angeles and its topography and roads, I was at the northwest corner of Sunset and Crescent Heights, and there was a. You've got like the Comedy Store and a bunch of nightclubs and things that like.
- [49:28]
John Corsi
Like that.
- [49:28]
John Salam
And I remember I was walking down that hill and I smelled pot. And we walked past someone who I actually knew, and he was smoking weed on the sidewalk. And I had never seen that. I had never seen someone just smoking weed in public. And. And this was within days of me moving there. So I didn't know how. I didn't know what that ecosystem was like there in California at the time. And a lot of people said, you know, if you go to the Hollywood bowl and you see smoke, people will be more angry if you were smoking cigarettes than pot. And I just think about how now, I mean, it is everywhere. You're right. You walk around in D.C. you drive through D.C. and it's. And you smell it everywhere.
- [50:04]
John Corsi
Yeah. I have my own personal weed story. My son was graduating from high school, and we brought my mother in law and my wife to go there, and they had bought flowers to give to the teacher. My wife noticed that there was weed in there, so she pulled it out and put it in the backseat. My mother in law, God bless her, I love her dearly. She yelled out with the security guard in the school parking lot, say, hey, Judy, you left your weed in the car. Honestly, it really happened. Yep. It was really a weed. That's what it was.
- [50:29]
John Salam
Your wife. And I do know.
- [50:30]
John Corsi
You do?
- [50:30]
John Salam
You do know. I guarantee you she played that off very, very well. She was probably laughing at her.
- [50:34]
Senator Rand Paul
No doubt about it.
- [50:35]
John Corsi
No doubt about it.
- [50:36]
John Salam
Yeah, that's my weak out of a real dime bag. I know Judy very well. All right, everybody, have a great night. We'll see you tomorrow. This is an I Heart podcast.
