The SAVE America Act is the single most important election integrity bill in front of Congress right now, and a small group of Republican senators is the only thing standing between proof-of-citizenship voting and another federal election cycle without it. On this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Hon. Mark Meadows, former North Carolina congressman and former White House Chief of Staff to President Donald Trump, to break down exactly where the SAVE America Act stands in the United States Senate, why it has stalled, and what grassroots conservatives can do in the next two weeks to force the issue. Eighty-seven percent of Americans across every party line agree that only American citizens should vote in American elections, yet Senate leadership refuses to bring the SAVE America Act to a clean vote. Meadows lays out the path to victory: attach the SAVE America Act to the FISA reauthorization bill before the June 12 deadline, pressure Senators Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Rick Scott to keep fighting, and demand President Trump veto any legislation that arrives on his desk without it. The conversation also covers Reconciliation 2.0, Reconciliation 3.0, the 50-48 Kennedy amendment defeat, the parliamentarian problem, and a brilliant proposal involving Vice President JD Vance that could change the math entirely.
