On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Why do the Democrats not want to vote on SAVE act? This is a straightforward and uncontroversial bill, as it simply requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and presentation of photo ID at the polling place on election day. 83% of Americans favor photo ID but Democrats complain that it's racist and for labeling it Jim Crow 2.0. It's not just Democrats, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune let this act sit idle for 300 days and then he downplays it and refuses to force a filibuster fight or making it a top priority. This is weak leadership on a fundamental issue of election integrity. Also, there is progress in resisting the harmful transgender cult pushed by medical professionals, educators, and elites, who pressure parents into allowing minors to undergo irreversible interventions like pharmaceutical hormone treatments and surgeries. There are two recent stories that provide encouraging news: a NY jury awarded $2 million to a young female detransitioner who sued her doctor and psychologist for malpractice after regretting a double mastectomy performed on her as a teenager. Additionally, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has become the first major U.S. medical association to recommend against gender transition surgeries for youths, advising delays until at least age 19 due to insufficient evidence of benefits outweighing risks. We should celebrate these as victories for common sense, sanity, rational thinking, and child protection. Later, three questions the Democrat party Presidential nominees need to answer: will you reverse President Trump's border polices? Will you tear down the new White House ballroom? Can a man get pregnant? Answering these appropriately to satisfy the current Democratic Party base would secure the nomination but alienate most normal voters in the general election, making a general election win impossible.
