Now, that would require, I think, some Republican senators who maybe they're a little too attached to the filibuster, maybe they're a little too attached to Senate procedure.

This is about the integrity of American democracy.

Like, do the people control who they elect or do some shady people?

It's like, who actually controls the people who cast the ballots or the people who count the ballots?

We want the sovereignty to be with the people who cast the ballots, and that's why we have to get the SAVE Act passed.

So you'll hear people say all the time, and I love this argument, they'll say, well, if you look at this precinct, only three illegal aliens voted in this election.

Number one, that's three illegal aliens too many.

And number two, if it's not a big problem, then why not just allow us to check ID and exercise some basic precautions to prevent illegal aliens from voting?

I never quite understand the person who says, on the one hand, this never happens, and on the other hand,

your effort to prevent it from happening is a threat to American democracy, which is fundamentally the Democrats' argument.

By the way, it's like an 85-15 issue.

Most Democrats want voter ID because they want to protect their own vote.

But the elected leaders don't because they know that the more control they give to the people who are counting the ballots, as opposed to those who are casting the ballots, the more control they will have.

When Homan says we're drawing 700 people down, those are the people who were protecting the ICE officers as they went out and did deportations and immigration enforcement.

Most of the people that we have in Minneapolis, they're not doing immigration enforcement.

That's true even after the 700 drawdown.

Most of them are protecting the immigration officers from the mob that's forming around them.

The reason why Minneapolis was so chaotic is because we had to have all these extra officers doing the job the local police wouldn't do.

If the local police are willing to step up a little bit, I think that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
