Senator Lindsey Graham has passed at the age of 71, and one of his final acts was a Saturday-night phone call to President Trump about a single bill: the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register and photo identification to vote. On this memorial edition of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin honors the four-term South Carolina Republican, Air Force veteran, and military lawyer, and guest host Robert McNeily of Tea Party Patriots Action picks up the fight Graham left behind. With the Republican majority now down to 52-47, a Judiciary Committee seat empty ahead of the Todd Blanche confirmation hearing, and a South Carolina special primary already on the calendar, the stakes for election integrity have rarely been higher. Rich Marianos, who spent 27 years at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and served as Assistant Director before founding the Tobacco Law Enforcement Network, breaks down the forensic evidence in the Charlie Kirk case and the flood of illicit Chinese vapes targeting American children. Then Justine Brooke Murray of the Media Research Center, host of Woke of the Week, exposes how the press mourns conservatives, spins the SAVE America Act, launders Tehran's line on Iran, and buries a $42 billion government fraud story that 83 percent of Americans want stopped for good. Watch and subscribe for daily analysis of politics, policy, and the fight for constitutionally limited government. Learn more at teapartypatriots.org and jennybethshow.com.
