1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: What is happening with the Save Act? Well, Republicans officialing

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: the Senate to take up the Save Act of Voting

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: reform bill. The bill would require proof of US citizenship

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: when registering to vote and also require photo ID when voting.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Save Act has already passed the House. Now. GOP leaders

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: say the bill is a common sense safeguard necessary to

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: protect election integrity and supported by a majority of voters.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: We discussed that a little bit yesterday. Yes, a majority

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: of voters, over seventy percent of people across all demographics

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: agree that, yeah, we should have the Save Act. And

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: you've got the Vice President JD. Vance, he has endorsed

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: the Save Act as well.

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: There's a bill, right.

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: The Save Act.

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 3: Let's get the Save Act.

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: No, what's going to happen with that?

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: Well, we're working very hard right now to get the

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Senate to approve it because of the sin to proves that,

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: we think the House would approve it to now, that

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: would require I think some Republican senators who maybe they're

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: a little too attached to the filibuster, maybe they're a

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: little too attacked to Senate procedure. This is about the

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 3: integrity of American democracy, Like do the people control who

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 3: they elect, or do some shady people who actually controls

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: the people who cast the ballots or the people who

26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: count the ballots. We want the sovereignty to be with

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: the people who cast the ballots, and that's why we

28
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: have to get the Save actpacity. You'll hear people say

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: all the time, and I love this argument. They'll say, well,

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: if you look at this precinct, you know, only three

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: illegal aliens voted in this election. Number one, that's three

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: legal aliens too many.

33
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: And number two, if.

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: It's not a big problem, then why not just allow

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: us to check ID and exercise some basic precautions to

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: prevent illegal aliens from voting. I never quite understand the

37
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: person who says, on the one hand, this never happens,

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: and on the other hand, your effort to prevent it

39
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: from happening is a threat to American democracy, which is

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: fundamentally the democrats argument. By the way, it's like an

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: eighty five to fifteen issue. Most Democrats want voter ID

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: because they want to protect their own vote.

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: See, elected leaders don't like the leaders.

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Don't because they know that the more control they give

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: to the people who are counting the ballots as opposed

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: to those who are casting the ballots, the more control

47
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: they will have.

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: So he was citing some numbers. The latest polling says

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: seventy one percent of Democrats support voter ID, ninety five

50
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: percent of Republicans support voter ID. The bill's future in

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the Senate unclear. You've got the majority leader John Thune,

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: who said that the vote will happen at some point.

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: He also didn't indicate a timeline, said Senate rules and

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: democratic opposition is what's making it difficult. But you've got

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the majority across parties supporting proof of citizenship for first

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: time registration. If you need an ID to board a plane,

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: or to buy alcohol, or to open a bank account,

58
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: asking someone who wants to vote for ID, it's it's

59
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: not suppression, that's just basic security.

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: I think the republic Plicans they need to ramp up

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: their messaging on this if they expect to get this passed.

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: The Democrats and the leadership, despite the fact that we

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: talked about the polling. We talked about the polling yesterday.

64
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: I think it was sixty to sixty five percent of

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Democrats support voter ID laws Democrats supporting voter ideas obviously

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: it was like ninety five percent of Republicans support it.

67
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: But the Democrat leadership, especially in the Senate, and remember

68
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: they need sixty votes in the Senate to be able

69
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: to avoid a filibuster to get anything passed. The Democrat senators,

70
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: the Democrat leadership in the Senate are going to hold

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: out like grim death to this. They are not going

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: to let this leave their hands because they know it

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: will directly hurt them in elections. Look line up all

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: this circumstantial evidence around this that we've seen the last

75
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: few years. Biden lets in tons of illegal immigrants for

76
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: four years while he's president. Let's say ten million, that's

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: probably somewhere in the middle, probably close to it. Plenty

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: of them, we know for a factor voting. Plenty of them,

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: especially in blue states, do not have any voter ID laws,

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: so we have no idea really who is actually voting.

81
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: You've got mass mail and unaccountable voting taking place in

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: many states around the country. This is something that the

83
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Democrats in the Senate know that if this passes, it

84
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: will make it tougher for Democrats to win elections, and

85
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: they are not going to go easily. They are not

86
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: going to go quietly. And if this administration wants to

87
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: get this Save Act passed, they're going to have to

88
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: ramp up their messaging in their outreach and push the pressure.

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: Pull it up, you put even more pressure on Democrat

90
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: leadership in the Senate.

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Well, they may have to change their strategy. You've got

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. He's saying that

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: it is a top priority for not only the GOP

94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: but also the White House. The White House saying it's

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: popular and reasonable. So now they're discussing changing or bypassing

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: the Senate filibuster rules and move the bill forward. So

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: it's a strategy move. They have to discuss and decide

98
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: what they want to do. How far they're going to put.

99
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they're probably going to push this

100
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: really far. But again, you know, and they do have

101
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: that fail safe bailout that they can change for this

102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: specific building and change the filibuster rules and not have

103
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: to get those sixty senators to vote to not filibuster.

104
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: But this is the Democrat senators are not going to

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: go quietly on this. They're going to fight this tooth

106
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: and nail with every fiber of their being because they

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: know if it passes, it makes it harder for Democrats

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: to win elections. That's the bottom line. They're not going

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: to give up that power very easily, and they're not

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: going to do a quiet
