The SAVE America Act has five days left in the United States Senate, and Jenny Beth Martin opens this episode with the math that should make every American angry. The House did its job more than once, passing a budget resolution and the National Defense Authorization Act with the full SAVE America Act attached. Both are sitting in the Senate. Fifty senators are already on record supporting proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter identification to cast a ballot. The votes are not the problem. The calendar is. Jenny Beth lays out why the deadline matters: New Jersey has admitted that 6,600 noncitizens ended up on its voter rolls and still refuses to check them against the federal citizenship database, and Alaska has found more than 3,000. She covers the Supreme Court deadline in Trump v. California, tomorrow's primaries in five states, and former Vice President Kamala Harris calling at the National Urban League to revisit the Electoral College, expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices, and grant statehood to Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Drew DiMeglio, a student at Hampden-Sydney College, president of his College Republicans, and a writer for Restoration News, the Carolina Journal, and The College Fix, explains why Gen Z swung right in 2024 and drifted toward socialist candidates since. Houston Gaines, a Georgia state representative and the Republican nominee in Georgia's 10th Congressional District, makes the affordability case. Jim Pfaff, president of The Conservative Caucus, delivers a blunt message to Senate Majority Leader John Thune. teapartypatriots.org | jennybethshow.com
