Sarah SmithHOST
6:58
But nonetheless, Donald Trump continues to advance this case, doesn't he? That people who are not eligible to vote are doing so.
Sarah SmithHOST
7:07
And the other piece of legislation that won't get through now before these November elections, but he will no doubt continue with and try and get through in 2028, is the SAVE Act that he wants Congress to pass, and that's slightly different, isn't it?
Anthony ZurcherHOST
7:19
Mm-hmm.
Sarah SmithHOST
7:19
That's not about, just about mail-in ballots.
Anthony ZurcherHOST
10:52
Sometimes you just can't make it to, uh, a polling place and cast a ballot.
Anthony ZurcherHOST
10:56
Now, there are states like California and Oregon and Utah and Washington and Colorado that almost all the ballots are cast by mail.
Anthony ZurcherHOST
11:04
Uh, and, and that's a little different than absentee voting by mail, which even the SAVE Act would still a- allow in certain circumstances.
Anthony ZurcherHOST
11:12
But, uh, but those states have been doing it for quite some time now, I mean, Oregon and Colorado for decades.
Erin MolanHOST
6:43
A- and whilst I think in some ways when he is a little bit dismissive about it, he is trying to reassure people that he is not worried, therefore do not be worried yourselves, but it can come across as being dismissive to people, as almost people want to know, and they might look at it as being a little bit arrogant or taking it seriously in a way that they feel it seriously impacts them.
Dinesh D'SouzaGUEST
7:05
I also think that it is hurting the Republicans that they have not passed the SAVE Act, which is something-
Erin MolanHOST
7:11
Yeah
Dinesh D'SouzaGUEST
7:11
... as basic as voter ID for elections.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
17:05
We've seen the Supreme Court brought in multiple times into the executive order cases seeking to, again, the administration desperately seeking to get the Supreme Court to rubber stamp what the administration wants to do.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
17:17
We've seen efforts to continue to try to pass the SAVE Act, which would, again, radically create this huge new bureaucracy to require citizens to repeatedly prove their citizenship over and over and over again, to dig up their citizenship documentation and show it to an election official anytime they move or change their names, amongst other things.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
17:35
And then a few weeks ago, we saw the president play footsie with this idea that he could declare a national emergency for elections and somehow seize federal authority over that.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
17:49
Of course, we've heard claims that the Justice Department is recruiting about 1,000 monitors to observe things at the polls this year.

39 MINS LATER

David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
56:40
The states are doing a remarkably good job keeping non-citizens off their voter lists.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
56:43
And they continue to do that with the better data that they have.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
56:46
The SAVE Act, the president's been pushing that for over a year.
David BeckerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
56:50
It's no closer to passing today.
Charlie RobinsonHOST
9:56
And and Adam is like a young liberal.
Charlie RobinsonHOST
9:59
And they were debating the Save Act about voting.
Charlie RobinsonHOST
10:03
And halfway through it, Adam said to me, like, well, it's clear that you agree with his stance, you know.
Charlie RobinsonHOST
10:10
Like that.
Dan TurrentineHOST
1:56
Yeah.
Dan TurrentineHOST
1:57
[laughs] All right, we have a new five, everyone, the SAVE Act, followed by, uh, January 6th.
Dan TurrentineHOST
2:02
Um, no, uh, we, we, we have a good show.
Dan TurrentineHOST
2:05
Sorry, Sean, first topic, ooh, new polling, although there is some bright spots.
Joe ThomasHOST
30:33
Hamp giving voice to this, listening to us down there on WTTB on the Treasure Coast.
Joe ThomasHOST
30:40
Hey, did the Republicans pass that SAVE Act or that silly time change thing yet? Hmm.
Joe ThomasHOST
30:46
Let's vote them in again.
Joe ThomasHOST
30:49
Well, you know, here's the thing.
Joe ThomasHOST
32:00
So here's the piece I just penned.
Joe ThomasHOST
32:03
In a master's class on controlling the narrative, the American left has so convincingly gaslit the political class into believing that the Save America Act would be viewed by their constituents as voter suppression, more GOP leaders are creating more convoluted stories to justify why they oppose making sure that only US citizens vote in US elections.
Joe ThomasHOST
32:29
The most hysterical is Alaska's Senator Lisa Murkowski, who took the floor of the Senate chamber to tell her colleagues that if the SAVE Act passed, the residents of the remote Aleutian community of Unalaska would be forced to fly roughly 800 air miles to Anchorage to obtain an ID, citing costs of $1,100 to $1,300 for a one-way ticket, plus lodging and transport.
Joe ThomasHOST
32:57
So specific was this that in his latest undercover video, James O'Keefe flew to Unalaska, where he visited the Unalaska DMV public library city hall post office, and all said... that all you had to do was come in and apply.
JoelUNKNOWN
17:22
You know, you, you made a good point too.
JoelUNKNOWN
17:24
Why is Ted Cruz worried about a stupid sports bill for, you know, colleges versus the SAVE Act, America?
Joe ThomasHOST
17:32
Right.
JoelUNKNOWN
17:32
You know?
Joe ThomasHOST
17:33
Hey, Ted, pass the damn SAVE Act.
Joe ThomasHOST
17:35
S- you know, fix the filibuster-
JoelUNKNOWN
17:37
[laughs]
Joe ThomasHOST
17:37
...
Joe ThomasHOST
28:59
What does a congressperson have to do facing the midterms? He's got the headwinds of the Save America Act Senate.
Joe ThomasHOST
29:11
So everyone's mad at the congresspeople who voted for the Save Act, but it won't pass the Senate.
Joe ThomasHOST
29:17
So it's somehow a congressman's fault because that'll help Hakeem Jeffries get a majority.
Joe ThomasHOST
29:23
and they've got the situation with the gas prices.
Tim PoolHOST
8:24
But look what happens when Republicans win everything.
Tim PoolHOST
8:26
They don't pass the SAVE Act, despite everyone wanting it.
Tim PoolHOST
8:28
The Supreme Court's still blocking Trump on these issues.
Tim PoolHOST
8:31
And it feels like the boulder is pushing us back down.
Jody HamiltonPANELIST
20:05
Otherwise, I mean, you have to jump through...
Jody HamiltonPANELIST
20:07
The SAVE Act is like the worst.
Bob CescaHOST
20:09
Yeah.
David FergusonPANELIST
20:09
Mm-hmm.
Jody HamiltonPANELIST
20:21
[laughs]
David FergusonPANELIST
20:21
"I've chosen not to change my name, Beauregard."
Bob CescaHOST
20:24
The SAVE Act, just its very existence continues this myth that our election process, our democracy is at risk because there's all kinds of fraud.
Jody HamiltonPANELIST
20:36
Right.
