Washington Democrats quietly make voter roll cleanup nearly impossible. Good news for Trump on the economic front. Federal Way City Councilman Martin Moore whines about being booted from leadership. Heather Andrews with Americans for Prosperity on the ‘millionaire tax.’ // Big Local: A new ICE office could be coming to Tukwila. A person tried to catch a free ride on the back of an ambulance on I-90 in Spokane. Missing Burien boy allegedly stole a car and had an ingenious way to get out of jail -- but it failed. // You Pick the Topic: Jake Skorheim on the perils of AI.

The SAVE Act is being marketed as common-sense election security. But here's the key question: what problem is this bill actually solving? Federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in national elections. Voter registration forms require applicants to attest—under penalty of perjury—that they are U.S. citizens. Multiple audits and investigations, including those conducted by Republican-led states, have consistently found noncitizen voting to be exceedingly rare. #SAVEAct #VotingRights #ElectionLaw #DemocracyIndependent media has never been more important.

A fresh Truth alert from President DT sparks a huge question: is an executive order on voter ID coming — and could it outmaneuver the Senate entirely? The strategy, the legality, and what it would mean for election integrity get broken down in classic Pags fashion. Meanwhile, Rosie O'Donnell is back in the U.S. and fanning outrage yet again — and the reason why will have you shaking your head. Across the pond, AOC stumbles through basic international questions in the EU, leaving the crew debating whether it's diplomacy… or pure word salad (spoiler: it's word salad).

Larry Kudlow discussing several high-priority conservative policy goals with guests Joe Concha and Mark Simone, primarily focusing on the push for mandatory voter ID and proof of citizenship for the upcoming elections. The speakers frame the lack of identification requirements as a logical inconsistency, noting that photo IDs are required for daily activities like air travel and entering media buildings, while suggesting that public opinion across various demographics strongly supports these measures. The conversation then shifts to the defunding of sanctuary cities, where the participants argue that local non-compliance with ICE leads to increased crime and prevents the efficient deportation of criminal undocumented immigrants. Finally, the dialogue addresses foreign policy, noting a shift in President Trump's rhetoric toward favoring regime change in Iran due to the perceived futility of negotiating with a government they characterize as inherently dishonest and brutal.

The House has passed the SAVE Act — a sweeping election reform bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. But what does that really mean? Michael Smerconish speaks with Nicole Hansen of the Campaign Legal Center to break down what the legislation would require — including whether a Real ID is enough, why a passport or certified birth certificate may be necessary, and how the bill could impact mail registration and voter rolls nationwide. Then, listeners weigh in on this civil, fact-based conversation on one of the most contentious voting debates in America. Original air date 12 February 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mike reacts to new economic data showing inflation at its lowest level in years, alongside falling crime, rising wages, strong job growth, and a booming stock market—raising a critical question: if the country is thriving, why does voter frustration and perceived Democrat momentum still exist? He explores whether messaging failures, media narratives, lingering pocketbook pain, or lack of accountability on major scandals like Epstein are keeping voters skeptical. Callers weigh in on whether frustration, distrust, or strategic Democrat positioning is shaping election outcomes despite positive economic indicators. Mike breaks down the disconnect between measurable success and public perception—and what it could mean for future elections.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Modern democracies rest on elections. They are the main way voters are supposed to shape what governments do. In theory, elections ensure that public policy reflects what people want. But does that actually happen in practice? Political science has long been divided on this question.One side of the debate argues that elections can work as intended. Voters understand the difference between left and right. They have a sense of where political parties sit on that spectrum. They broadly know where they themselves stand. And they choose which party to support on that basis.Another influential strand of research is far more sceptical. It suggests that most voters do not have clear or well formed policy preferences at all. And when they do, those preferences often come after choosing a party, not before. Voters identify with a party first, then adopt that party's positions as their own.This debate has been running for decades. But a new book offers a third perspective that could help move things forward. It argues that the debate has set the bar too high for what counts as a meaningful voter preference. Once we measure preferences in a more realistic way, a clearer picture starts to emerge.One of the authors of that book is our very own Ben Lauderdale, friend of the podcast and Professor of Political Science here in the UCL Department of Political Science. We are delighted that Ben joins us this week to walk us through the research and what it tells us about how voters really think.Mentioned in this episode:Idiosyncratic Issue Opinion and Political Choice, by Nick Vivyan, Benjamin E Lauderdale, Chris Hanretty. UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration. The Department is recognised for its world-class research and policy impact, ranking among the top departments in the UK on both the 2021 Research Excellence Framework and the latest Guardian rankings.

The U.S. House has voted to pass the SAVE Act, a Republican‑backed bill that would require voters to present government‑issued photo identification in federal elections. Supporters argue the measure strengthens election integrity, while critics warn it could create barriers for eligible voters, particularly marginalized groups. The bill also includes proof‑of‑citizenship requirements for voter registration, marking one of the most sweeping proposed changes to federal election rules in years.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump’s tariff policies suffered their strongest political blow yet with the Republican-led US House passing legislation aimed at ending the president’s levies on Canadian imports. Wednesday’s vote represents an increase in political pressure to change course on Trump’s signature economic policy just months before the midterm elections, including by forcing swing-district Republicans affected by the tariffs to weigh when or if to cross the president by voting against his agenda. The vote also signals a growing anxiety over the White House’s economic agenda before elections that are expected to focus heavily on affordability. Democrats were quick to attack the Republicans who voted to protect the tariffs, blaming them for shielding policies that increase the cost of living for their voters. While Trump is almost certain to veto any bill calling for a repeal of his tariff agenda, making it unlikely the measure will ever become law, defections from six Republicans alongside opposition from nearly all Democrats underscore his increasingly tenuous hold on the narrow House majority.2) Republicans advanced voter ID legislation over the opposition of most Democrats Wednesday as House GOP leaders seek to convince their Senate counterparts to muscle through the bill. Conservatives are touting the measure, which the House passed by 218-213, as necessary to beef up election security ahead of the November midterms and 2028 presidential race. Most Democrats oppose the legislation, dubbed the SAVE America Act, and argue it would amount to voter suppression, especially for marginalized groups. The bill faces steep obstacles in the Senate, where GOP leaders would need 60 votes to overcome the legislative filibuster. House Republicans are urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to change Senate rules to advance the bill, but the measure’s House backers are also looking at opportunities to tack it onto must-pass bills.3) Democratic lawmakers accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of using the US Justice Department to target enemies of President Donald Trump and bungling the release of files on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein during a fiery hearing Wednesday. “You’ve turned the people’s Department of Justice into Trump’s instrument of revenge,” said Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee in Washington. “Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza. And you deliver every time.” Raskin cited Justice Department probes of former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and six members of Congress who recorded a video urging military service members to refuse unlawful orders. Prosecutors failed to get grand jury indictments of Comey and James, and the New York Times reported Tuesday that the department also failed to secure indictments of the lawmakers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
