Senator Lisa Murkowski says she agrees that only American citizens should vote, then wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed explaining her no on the SAVE America Act. Jenny Beth Martin opens this episode of The Jenny Beth Show by answering the senator point by point, and reveals the fact Murkowski leaves out: Alaska already pays its residents a yearly Permanent Fund Dividend that requires proof of citizenship once, by mail, through a system that reaches every remote village. Alaska's own election website even warns that a voter identification card does not prove citizenship and asks noncitizens who got registered to cancel. Jenny Beth proposes three amendments to turn Murkowski's no into a yes, then heads to Washington to fight for the bill in person. Co-host Robert McNeily takes the chair with guest Rod Martin, founder and chief executive of Martin Capital, a member of the PayPal founding team, and a longtime writer on capitalism and communism. They cover the tenth night of American operations against Iran and the collapse of Iran's proxy empire, the war powers question, the arson at a New York federal building full of immigration courts, the grand jury probing China-linked funder Neville Roy Singham, China's pursuit of 220 million voter files, election day races from Arizona to Michigan, and the Democratic Socialists of America platform to abolish the United States Senate.
