What is the SAVE Act and its implications for voter fraud claims?

Unknown 0:00

Promoting something that we mentioned with Senator Klobuchar last hour, what's called the SAVE Act, a Republican solution which is in search of a problem, a fix for something Donald Trump made up in the aftermath of his electoral defeat in 2020. Once more, for the people in the back, claims of widespread voter fraud have been wholly debunked Again and again and again, year after year after year. And yet the GOP is right now fighting tooth and nail to put something on Donald Trump's desk that could potentially disenfranchise 21 million, up to 21 million American voters in the name of solving a fake problem. To underscore the ridiculous nature of that pursuit, consider what's happening here in Fulton County, Georgia.

Unknown 0:41

That's Atlanta.

Steve Bannon 0:42

The state election board there is once again wrapped up in a review of years old election results, thanks to a federal subpoena search and seizure of related materials.

Well, the Republican appointed chair of that board in a conversation with the Atlanta Journal Constitution podcast says there's a lot of political theater going on. Listen. The Fulton County Elections Department that is there now is not the same one that was there in 2020. I'd be the last person to say that there was no mistakes in 2020. There was a lot of mistakes. There was a lot of, for a lot of different reasons. You know, you're having an election during COVID. They were hiring people that weren't trained properly. There was a whole lot of absentee ballots. There was just a lot of issues that happened in 2020. But I've yet to see anything that would rise to the level of a crime or malfeasance or anything like that.

Unknown 1:32

It's just a lot of mistakes that were made. But, you know, 2020 is over with. We have had multiple elections since then. Hi. He said, I've yet to see anything that would rise to the level of a crime or malfeasance or anything like that. Thankfully, Fervier went on to insist he has not, quote, had any serious discussions with any board members about them wanting to take over Fulton County. However, the broader concern persists. The president of the United States is right now applying pressure on officials at the state and federal level to accommodate his outright falsehoods about widespread voter fraud. More breaking reporting tonight from MSNOW. Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security just told states that ICE agents will stay away from polling locations ahead of the midterms.

Unknown 2:15

DHS official made that pledge on a call with secretaries of state earlier today. Multiple sources confirmed to MSNOW. If we trust what they say, this is obviously a win for free and fair elections and proof that public outcry does move the needle. But we have learned time and time again that DHS cannot be trusted by words alone. According to Maine Secretary of State Sheena Bellows, on that same call, federal agencies refused to make public statements reinforcing the constitutional principle that the states... not the federal government, are in charge of elections. I know you're shocked, Michael.

Steve Bannon 2:51

I don't believe a damn word of it. I don't believe anything that comes out of DHS. I don't believe anything that comes out of Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, ICE, whoever's running ICE. Don't believe it because it's all a lie. Because this election means more to this president than anything else in front of him, period. Because it sets in motion what the next two years look like for him. So y'all can get, you know, drink that Kool-Aid if you want to.

How is Fulton County handling the review of election results?

Steve Bannon 3:23

But, Simone, I'm not I'm not buying an inch of it.

Unknown 3:26

More breaking news. Cuba says it killed four people and wounded six others during a shootout with the Florida registered speedboat. Their nationalities are unknown right now. Here's what Secretary of State Marco Rubio is saying about it.

Mark Beal 3:38

Suffice it to say, it is highly unusual to see shootouts in open sea like that. It's not something that happens every day. It's something, frankly, that hasn't happened with Cuba in a very long time.

Unknown 3:49

U.S. and Iranian negotiating teams are meeting today for another round of high-stake talks in Geneva, Switzerland.
