President Trump took Senate Republicans to task over the SAVE America Act, exposing a growing divide within the GOP over election integrity and leadership. Todd examines the heated confrontation involving Bill Cassidy, the debate over the Senate filibuster, and why requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID has become such a contentious issue. He also explains what is actually included in the SAVE America Act, why conservatives see it as common-sense election reform, and what this fight says about the future of the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections. If election security matters, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

President Donald Trump meets with Senate Republicans and news reports say there were some tense exchanges over the war with Iran. On the way out, he said it was a 'good meeting' and the party is 'unified', but he is not happy with every Republican Senator. He said, 'I don't like a few people, but I think you know who they are'; President postpones signing a bipartisan housing bill into law, he says until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote; Three left-leaning Congressional candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) win Democratic primaries Tuesday, two of them defeating Democratic incumbents; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth meets with House Republicans about the proposed increase in defense spending; Today is the four year anniversary of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning the Constitutional right to abortion; Bipartisan Congressional leadership holds a ceremony to dedicate a time capsule to honor America's 250th anniversary, scheduled to be opened when America turns 500, in 2276.

Trump won Ohio three times with an 11 point win in 2024 so why is the GOP nominee for Governor Vivek Ramaswamy tied, in the polls, with the Democrat Dr. Amy Acton? The GOP super-majority in the Ohio legislature is worried too so they decided to manipulate their base to get them to the polls in November for Ramaswamy. Although controlling the state since 2011, the Ohio GOP is letting Trump and his goons focus on Medicaid fraud in the state. Meanwhile the Ohio GOP is putting up a constitutional amendment to require photo ID to vote even though that does nothing to secure an election system they tell us is a model for the country, and they also decided to hide a bill that would ban child marriage so as not to trigger their religious extremist friends totally ignoring the whole Trump Epstein files and other sex abuse scandals with the Catholic church and LifeWise Academy.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us Fan MailSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

California held its primary election a week ago and we still don't have a governor or a Los Angeles mayor. Here's why — and why none of it is as simple as either side is telling you.This week Phil and Camille break down everything happening with California's election system in real time. How does counting actually work in the largest voting state in the country, and why does it take so long? What are "ballot dumps" — and are they actually suspicious? What does documented voter fraud in California really look like? And what could genuinely fix a system that produced 23% turnout after mailing a ballot to every single registered voter?They also cover the two races still being decided as this episode airs: the governor's race, where Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton have now been projected to advance — and the story of how Becerra went from 3% polling in March to first place; and the LA Mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt held a 40,000-vote lead on election night and watched it disappear over six days as Nithya Raman overtook him to face Karen Bass in November.Plus: the viral claim that Pratt received zero votes in a 24,000-ballot dump — debunked by Trump's own Justice Department. The Voter ID proposition headed to your November ballot. And the live Supreme Court case that could change how California counts votes before November even arrives.No spin. No team. Just the numbers.New episodes every Tuesday at 8PM PST, live on YouTube.Subscribe to the newsletter at caunderground.substack.comPhil is also writing The Gilded State — a book about how California became the most expensive, least accountable state in America.

A week after Los Angeles voters cast their ballots, the results are still changing—and so are the questions surrounding the election process. Todd examines the stunning shift in the mayoral race, where late-arriving mail ballots appear to have reshaped the runoff field. Why does vote counting take days—or even weeks—in modern America? What safeguards should exist to protect election integrity while maintaining voter access? Todd explores concerns about ballot handling, voter ID, mail-in voting, election transparency, and public confidence in the democratic process. Plus, a look at why government officials should be willing to answer legitimate questions instead of dismissing concerned citizens as “election deniers.”

Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga just wrapped a seven-city labor roundtable tour across Ohio — and the message from workers was the same at every stop. Affordability is the number one issue, trust in government is near rock bottom and working people are ready for something dramatically different come November. On this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, Burga breaks down what he heard from union leaders in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, Marietta, Columbus and Toledo, why Democratic primary turnout reached its highest midterm level since 2006 and what the Ohio AFL-CIO is doing to educate members and mobilize votes between now and Election Day. He also raises a sharp warning about Republican plans to place voter ID in the Ohio constitution — despite it already being state law — and previews what is on the agenda at the AFL-CIO national convention in Minneapolis.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

The American political and legal systems are facing a crisis of legitimacy as high-level "glitches" and ideological captures move from theory to documented reality. This episode dives into the recent chaos in Virginia, where 64,000 votes shifted in a mere five-minute window, fundamentally altering the state's redistricting landscape. Joe breaks down the "scripted" nature of these flips, arguing that the system is no longer broken, but rather functioning exactly as intended. To disenfranchise the American voter through linguistic manipulation and "Uniparty" complicity that leaves election safeguards like Voter ID and the elimination of mail-in ballots gathering dust.The investigation into institutional decay moves from the ballot box to the hospital bedside with special guest Bruce Sackman. As the former Special Agent in Charge for the VA's Office of Inspector General, Sackman has spent 32 years hunting "Medical Serial Killers"—doctors and nurses who exploit the trust of the healthcare system to murder the very veterans they are sworn to protect. Sackman exposes the "Murder Curtain," a chilling intersection of institutional incompetence and fear of liability that allows predators to operate undetected. His insights provide a harrowing parallel to the broader theme of systemic betrayal, questioning whether the rising public distrust in our government and healthcare systems is actually the only rational response to a culture that prioritizes liability over lives.Finally, we peel back the layers of a massive federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization now accused of the very fraud and money laundering it claimed to fight. With allegations that the SPLC secretly funneled millions to informants within extremist groups—effectively "manufacturing" the narratives of white supremacy and racial division for decades—the show examines the devastating impact of this ideological warfare. From the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville to the Biden FBI's targeting of traditional Catholics, we explore how these state-sanctioned narratives have been used to scapegoat and indoctrinate, leaving a trail of division that stretches from the halls of Congress to the local city council.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head discusses with Martha Jenkins, President of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), the urgency of the upcoming midterm elections and the lack of critical legislation being passed by Republicans. Jenkins emphasizes the importance of the SAVE AMERICA Act and DHS funding for voter turnout, noting that 80% of voters support Voter ID and no non-citizen voting. She highlights healthcare, particularly mental health and drug costs, as key issues for women. Jenkins also addresses the transparency and accomplishments of President Trump, despite his controversial statements. They conclude with a call to action for women to join NFRW chapters and engage in politics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Handel on the Law. Marginal Legal Advice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. DHS Funding Standoff Republicans argue the DHS appropriations bill was bipartisan and accuse Democrats of refusing to negotiate. The consequences cited include unpaid TSA workers, airport disruptions, and national travel delays. 2. ICE as the Central Flashpoint A major point of contention is funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Democrats oppose ICE due to pressure from progressive activists. ICE is portrayed as essential for arresting violent criminals, with defunding framed as a public safety risk. 3. Political Strategy and Legislative Tactics Republicans propose potentially carving ICE out of DHS funding temporarily, then restoring it through budget reconciliation (which requires only a simple Senate majority). Reconciliation is presented as the only viable workaround to Democratic opposition and the Senate filibuster. 4. Accusations of Political Cowardice Democratic senators are unwilling to vote for border enforcement out of fear of primary challenges from the left. Chuck Schumer is prioritizing party politics over practical governance. 5. TSA and Workforce Attrition The funding lapse could risk permanent damage by forcing TSA agents to quit, even after funding resumes. The situation is compared to “defund the police” dynamics, where attrition achieves policy goals indirectly. 6. Arctic Frost Investigation Arctic Frost represents a large‑scale abuse of power by the Department of Justice. It is described as involving hundreds of subpoenas targeting conservative organizations and Republican officials. Worse than Watergate in scope and intent. 7. Alleged DOJ and FBI Weaponization The DOJ and FBI are accused of partisan targeting, including subpoenas for senators’ phone records. Particular criticism is directed at judicial nondisclosure orders and surveillance of Trump‑aligned figures. 8. Comparison to Watergate There is contrasts in Republican accountability during Watergate with what is described as Democratic silence today. The argument emphasizes a perceived lack of institutional self‑correction within the modern Democratic Party. 9. SAVE America Act The Act focuses on voter eligibility measures: proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote. Polling is cited to claim overwhelming public support for voter ID requirements. 10. Accusations of Democratic Hypocrisy on Voter ID Numerous Democratic leaders are quoted as publicly supporting voter ID. However, when a standalone voter ID amendment is introduced, all Democrats allegedly vote against it. Media accountability is criticized as inconsistent, with CBS cited as a rare exception.

1. Airport Delays as a National Crisis Extreme airport wait times (2–5 hours) across major U.S. airports. Travelers missed flights, funerals, and medical emergencies. This is a system-wide breakdown, not isolated incidents. 2. Cause of the Crisis: DHS Funding Dispute Democrats are withholding DHS funding, despite taxes already being paid. TSA agents are working without pay, leading to: Mass call-outs Resignations (thousands allegedly absent; hundreds quitting) 3. TSA Staffing Shortages TSA absenteeism (up to 40% in some locations) is the primary bottleneck. TSA agents are heroes forced to work under unfair conditions. Potential financial bonuses are a reward for those continuing to work. 4. Trump’s Response and Leadership Trump is acting decisively while others argue. He orders ICE agents deployed to major airports. ICE roles are: Crowd control ID checks Line management Securing exits ICE is not replacing TSA, but supporting them. 5. Early Results from ICE Deployment Wait times dropped from hours to minutes at some airports. This is evidence of effective leadership and rapid crisis response. Acknowledges the problem is not fully resolved. 6. Broader Political Agenda Linked to the Crisis The airport issue is tied to: Voter ID laws Proof of citizenship for voting Opposition to mail-in voting Border security The SAVE America Act as a condition for DHS funding.

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Honest Elections Project Executive Director Jason Snead joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to break down the legal issues presented by counting mail-in ballots received days after Election Day, analyze Supreme Court justices' reactions to the Watson v. RNC oral arguments, and discuss the ongoing battle over the SAVE America Act. The Federalist Foundation is a nonprofit, and we depend entirely on our listeners and readers — not corporations.

1. Purpose of the SAVE America Act Requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Requires photo identification to cast a ballot. Common-sense legislation aimed at protecting election integrity rather than restricting voting access. 2. Legislative Status The Senate voted 51–47 to bring the bill to the floor. All Republicans supported the motion except Lisa Murkowski, with one Republican absent. Democrats are uniformly opposed. The bill likely will not pass without 60 votes unless Republicans force a prolonged “talking filibuster.” 3. Argument for Voter ID There is overwhelming public support for voter ID: ~81% of Americans ~75% of African Americans ~80% of Hispanics ~70% of Democrats (non-elected) Voter ID is already required for many everyday activities (flying, banking, driving, alcohol). 4. Rebuttal to Discrimination Voter ID laws DO NOT suppress minority votes. Supreme Court decision upholding Indiana’s voter ID law. Minority voter participation increases when ID laws are implemented. Characterizes opposition arguments as “insulting” to minorities. 5. Immigration and Election Integrity 12 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. during the Biden administration. Democrats intentionally allow illegal immigration to influence future elections. Connects open borders to potential voter fraud, despite no specific evidence cited in the speech. 6. Accusations Against Democrats Wanting insecure elections Opposing safeguards deliberately Hypocrisy in claiming to “defend democracy” Uses historical references (Jim Crow, KKK) to counter accusations of racism. 7. Filibuster Strategy Force Democrats into a traditional talking filibuster. Explain Senate rules and physical demands of extended floor speeches. Acknowledge Republicans currently lack the 50 votes needed to sustain this strategy. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Virginia Politics & Redistricting Democrats in Virginia are moving quickly to enact policy changes after recent elections. The new Virginia congressional map heavily favors Democrats (projected 10D–1R), despite the state split being closer to 53% Democrat / 47% Republican. Comparisons to redistricting in Texas, California, and New England, arguing that both parties gerrymander but Virginia’s map is described as especially extreme. 2. Immigration Enforcement Virginia’s governor (referred to as Abigail Spanberger) cut cooperation with ICE. This policy could result in criminal undocumented immigrants being released into communities. 3. Discussion of Supreme Court Oral Arguments on Tariffs Detailed recounting of a Supreme Court case involving presidential authority to impose tariffs. Highlights: Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett expressed skepticism toward the administration’s position. Kavanaugh, Thomas, and Alito appeared more open to upholding the tariff authority. Predicts that Chief Justice Roberts may write a majority opinion to uphold tariff powers on institutional grounds. 4. The “Save America Act” House of Representatives passed the act with only one Democrat voting in favor. The act requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Presented as “common-sense” election integrity legislation. Describes a procedural strategy within existing Senate rules, not abolishing the filibuster. Would force Democrats to perform a talking filibuster (continuous floor speeches). Requires Republicans to maintain 50 senators physically present, possibly for days or weeks. Democrats aim to: Eliminate photo ID laws. Grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico. Offer citizenship and voting rights to undocumented immigrants. Pack the Supreme Court. Voter ID and citizenship proof are extremely popular nationwide with broad bipartisan support. Republicans should force Democrats to publicly defend opposition during a talking filibuster.
