Chapter 1: What is the SAVE Act and why is it controversial?
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. It's St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday, 17 March, year of the Lord, 2026.
The Irish prime minister's heading to the White House. There's an explosive debate that's kicked off on historic, could be historic, on the Senate floor on the Save America Act. I'm going to get to Neil McCabe at the White House. Jenny Beth Martin's still with us. We're going to go back to the floor. It looks like there's going to be some votes on this at 1130, weather's holding stuff up.
John Solomon in the first of many exclusives is breaking massive news about the Chinese Communist Party's involvement in the 2020 election to thwart President Trump. Ties in with the pandemic votes, as you know. Also, Joe Kent, One of the really great guys around, explosive resignation letter early this morning on resigning as head of the National Counterterrorism Center under Tulsi Gabbard.
We'll try to get to that this morning. Also, if not, we're going to break out plenty of time this afternoon to talk about that because that is explosive. His reason for resigning is already starting to explode across the political landscape of Washington, D.C. Let's go to Neil McCabe at the White House. Neil, walk me through process. Is it going to be some votes at 1130?
Just walk through how the audience can can anticipate what is happening here. Yes, Steve, we're with this live streaming from the floor, you're going to see a lot of a lot of exposure to Senate rules, for example. The call for a quorum, they read off one name. The Senate rules say you can only be debating or voting on the Senate floor, but a quorum call is untimed. Hang on, let's go to Grassley.
...of this legislation. Number one, only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in our elections. So this bill simply requires Americans to show proof of citizenship... when they register to vote. Number two, it requires a photo ID when voting. This helps ensure the person who is registered to vote in that election is the person who is actually casting that ballot.
The Save America Act would give voters peace of mind that federal elections are conducted fair and square. It would give voters peace of mind that their vote isn't diluted by people not eligible to vote. I'm co-sponsor of Save Act and the Save America Act. I support free, transparent, and accurate elections. Every American deserves absolute confidence.
There's no funny business distorting election outcomes. Let me tell you about the track record in my home state of Iowa. Voter ID laws in my state have been successful and well received since passage in 2017. Iowa voters turnout increased in the 2018 midterm elections and turnout has continued to remain very strong. So the proof is in the pudding.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the SAVE Act on voter registration?
It's not surprising Americans want to prevent voter fraud and ensure every ballot is legitimate. The bill gives voters five different ways to show proof of citizenship and to give citizens and states the flexibility to create other pathways to show proof of citizenship.
For example, for those whose current name doesn't match their birth certificate, they can provide a marriage certificate or other name change verifications. I've been honored to serve in my elective office for many decades. I've worked hard to earn every vote at the ballot box. Public trust in elective office holders requires public trust in our elections.
Voting rights have a long history in America's march to a more perfect union. They're enhanced by the 15th Amendment to the Federal Constitution, by the 19th Amendment to the Federal Constitution. My mother was one of the very first women to cast a ballot after ratification
of the 19th Amendment, and I've shown proof of that with placards here on the floor of the United States Senate in a speech that shows her picture in the Des Moines Register newspaper and the Waterloo Courier newspapers. The Save American Act doesn't infringe on these hard-fought voting rights. It would preserve the integrity of every vote cast in a federal election.
Election integrity is sacred to our system of self-government. Losing public trust in the outcome of elections would be a death knell for our fragile American experiment, even though it's 250 years long. For our nation's 250 50th birthday, the Save American Act is a gift to current and future generations to strengthen our system of self-government.
This brings me to more common sense policies included in the bill as well as the voting issues. Like many Americans, I'm alarmed by the prevalence of gender mutilation surgeries being performed on minors. Protecting children makes our society stronger. Irreversible damage from gender reassignment surgery should not be conducted on kids.
This bill would put an end to this reckless practice on American children. The Save American Act would make this policy the law of the land. This very week, on another issue in the bill, America is in the thick of March madness, filling out brackets, watching buzzer beaters, and cheering on Cinderella contenders is a rite of passage during the month of March.
I'm thrilled to cheer on our Iowa teams in the NCAA tournament, including two women's teams, the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones, as well as three teams, the Hawkeyes, the Cyclones, and my alma mater, the University of Northern Iowa. Earlier this month, The Iowa high school basketball tournament brought the best. Okay, let's go back. Do we have Neil still up at the White House?
Neil, we can expect, I take it, votes coming at the bottom of the hour. Can you walk us through that? Right, Steve. The Senate rules say that you're either voting or debating, and what they'll do is when they need a gap, they'll do a roll call, like a quorum call, where it's untimed and they just read one name. until whoever owns the floor takes it over again.

Chapter 3: How does the SAVE Act affect proof of citizenship requirements?
Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. And that's why you need to consider buying gold from my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years, gold has been a store of wealth. And today, it is a crucial part of any balance strategy. Even better, Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered retirement account in gold.
Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 to receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold. Now that's peace of mind. Text Bannon to 989898. Again, my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898.
Do it today. The only difference is that this time, MAGA Republicans know they're in trouble politically. So now they're suddenly saying the system's compromised and broken and it needs to be changed. It's all lies. All lies. And they want to drag down the entire Senate for who knows how long in a vain attempt to pass this bill. Let's be clear.
Senate Democrats will never allow the SAVE Act to pass this chamber. If a small band of MAGA senators wants to drag this out on the Senate floor, Keep us here through the night, through days or longer while stalling all other important business. They can try. It will not work. MAGA Republicans, Senate Democrats will hold the line as long as necessary because with this bill, democracy is at stake.
And I want to be very clear. The SAVE Act is not about voter identification. It's about voter suppression. Under the SAVE Act, every single state would be required to share its voter rolls with the Department of Homeland Security, something even many Republican states do not want to do.
Those rolls would be reviewed by a system designed by none other than Elon Musk and his doge, using an algorithm that has already been shown to be deeply flawed. Millions will be kicked off the rolls for no reason. This means American citizens, many, millions, would be booted off the rolls wrongly. And if you're kicked off the rolls, you may never be told. There's no requirement to let you know.
Then when you show up on Election Day ready to vote and a poll worker tells you, sorry, you're not registered, you're not in the system, what do you do? You can't re-register that day, especially with the onerous requirements for registration in the SAVE Act. And it's not just, as I said, it's not just as simple as reregistering.
Under the bill, Americans would have to run through an obstacle course of red tape unlike anything we have ever seen in voter registration. A driver's license would no longer be enough. A military ID would no longer be enough. You would need something like a passport, which most Americans do not have, or a birth certificate, which many Americans cannot easily find.
And if you cannot produce these documents, You could be out of luck, even if you're an American citizen with every right to vote. That is almost certainly the majority, the vast majority of who would be thrown off the rolls. Meanwhile, say goodbye to some of the safest, most convenient, and most effective ways to register to vote. No more registering online. No more registering at churches.

Chapter 4: What arguments are being made for and against the SAVE Act?
We're now down to the heart of the issue. Jenny Beth, anything else? And people should know that a little bit of this being they got a plan, they got a framework, but a little bit of this is uncharted territory because the ultimate goal, Jenny Beth, is to get a bill that has to save America, all the aspects of the voter integrity, plus the additions President Trump wants to make.
And and we now know that's going to be in the Senate bill. So we'll have to go back to the House anyway. Just talk to me about what we know so far about process. Okay. Let me talk about the process. And I think that there are people in your audience who are probably skeptical of this process and they don't trust it.
And I understand that because we are conditioned because of the actions of the leadership and the establishment for so long, we are conditioned not to trust them. And I think you always have to trust and verify. So people don't worry. I haven't lost my mind when I Earlier was saying that I appreciate what Thune has done.
But we also have to understand, if we want this bill to pass into law, it has to move through the Senate. And that means Thune has to do something. And when he does what we're asking... I think he deserves the credit for doing that. It doesn't mean we don't keep an eye on it, but that's what's happening.
So right now they're just basically filling time and they're giving some speeches and people are flying into DC and both sides, Republicans and Democrats are behind the scenes counting how many senators are in. So they know how many people are present to vote. And that's part of what's going on at some point. It should be later today. It could be tomorrow. But it should be today.
Senator Thune is going to proceed to begin. And the language that he, how I had that up, he's going to use is that he's going to say that there is a motion to lay before the Senate a message from the House. That's when we know he's actually beginning this process.
But in that same breath, in that same paragraph, he's also going to talk about, and I have to look at my notes because I'm not a Senate expert, he's going to talk about a motion to amend, a motion to concur, a motion to refer to committee, a motion to instruct the said committee, a motion to... refer to instruct the referral of the committee. I don't know.
It gets a little bit complicated, but there are going to be a whole bunch of motions all tied to this underlying bill that is the Save America Act. The one right after the bill for the Save America Act is an amendment that replaces what's in the existing Save America Act with the new language that President Trump wants.
So it'll be saving American voters, saving American sports, and saving American children. Then it's a bunch of other motions. Now, the way this was explained to me is to think of it this way. Imagine those old cartoons where a cartoon character is falling off of a building. and there are a bunch of people who are holding sheets out to try to break his fall.

Okay, let's go to the White House.
Neil McCabe has some observations of what Jenny Beth was just talking about. Neil, what do you got for us? First of all, what Jenny was talking about with those amendments is called filling the amendment tree. And that blocks Democrats from entering their own amendments because the tree is now full. I want to say that John Barrasso is absolutely passionate about getting this done.
And he is the whip. He's the number two to Thune. So I would watch for him and Mike Lee to really drive this bus. And the third thing is I really got the feel as I was walking around the Senate offices in the Capitol yesterday that they want to take this thing to the mattresses and see how long they can go to it. So maybe last week, Thune was looking to get it off the table.
But I think now the Senate leadership is committed. And I think obviously the president's comments to the House Republicans down in Florida had some impact on that, Steve. What do you mean? What comments? It's got to be passed, and you have to add mail-in voting. You've got to add men and women's sports, and you have to add the mutilation of transgender surgery, that.
Yeah, Trump didn't give them an exit. Trump said, we're going for this, and this is what I want. It's his number one priority this year. Exactly. No exits. March or die. And we're going to be following this throughout the day. A couple other breaking news. Steve Stern about voter integrity and in the grassroots. You got another major meeting happening tomorrow.

I appreciate it very much. Action, action, action. Thank you, Steve. Big meetings tomorrow and Thursday. Thank you. We'll make sure we promote those. Shannon Everett, big developments on this scourge of foreign drivers in the United States with these licenses killing Americans. I think we've got I think we have some good news to report, at least some better news, sir. Yeah, we do.
This week, the interim final ruling that Secretary Duffy implemented late last year became law on Monday. And so no longer are states allowed to issue illegal aliens, what are called these non-domiciled CDLs. We still have the challenge of all of the ones that have been issued. So all of the truck drivers that have been issued these licenses are on the road.
But thank goodness, because of the efforts of President Trump and what Secretary Duffy's been doing, They can no longer issue any more of these. There's also advancement right now on the Delilah Law, which is the law that the president announced during his State of the Union address in the honor of the little girl that was hit by a truck in California by an illegal alien.
So I'm actually here in Washington, D.C. right now advocating on behalf of her family for the passage of Senate Bill S3917, which is the Delilah Law. But the House Transportation Committee is going to be marking up a separate bill tomorrow. That's House Resolution 5688, known as the Non-Domicile CDL Integrity Act.
That legislation is the same as the ruling that Secretary Duffy had issued back in September. They are now amending that legislation. We got a copy of that draft last night. They're amending that legislation to include several of the components that are in the Delilah law that's come out of the Senate. And so they have strengthened that bill.
When that bill was first announced last year, we were opposed to that legislation. because they were not intending to revoke any of these non-domiciled CDLs. And so we've really been advocating and shouting from the rooftops that, hey, it's not okay to just stop issuing them. We've got to take them away.
We know, we now know that all of these drivers, all of these illegal aliens that were given these CDLs, not only did they not get vetted. Yeah, but hang on. The 200,000, they're not going to be renewed. Are you telling the audience that all these illegal foreign drivers, their licenses immediately are not being taken away from them? Correct. And the 200,000 number is not the correct number.

Chapter 7: What are the potential consequences of the SAVE Act on American citizens?
And so I don't really understand their logic for why they can't revoke these CDLs. But they're pointing at the state. But what I'm here to tell you is this. Hang on. At the state level, Florida and Texas should be all over this, correct? That's right. Absolutely. They should. But, you know, it's gotten this is a nonpartisan issue. They are not moving on that.
So, you know, this is this affects everybody. A Republican child can die in an accident just the same as a Democrat child can die in an accident. So everybody should be taken seriously. But Shannon, but Shannon, but Shannon, that's that's theoretical Pollyannish. Of course, it's it's to the core of the Democratic business model. These illegal aliens, that brings more illegal families here.
What do you think we're having this debate for? It's not bipartisan at all. The outcomes are obviously bipartisan, just like the outcomes of having 25 million illegal aliens in this country. Destroy the education system for people to vote Democrat, destroy the healthcare system for people to vote Democratic.
Most of the African-Americans in the country, I think still 80 or 85 percent vote Democratic. They're the ones that take the brunt of illegal aliens. But it's the it's the core of the business model of the Democratic Party. They're not they're never going to budge on this.
They'll fight your tooth and nail because they want to have opportunities for illegal aliens in this country and not for American citizens. That's their plan. So what is what do we need to do? to mount this effort to get to either Duffy or whoever's in charge to say, hey, look, it doesn't matter about issuing new licenses. That's fine. That's great.
But we need to go back on the somewhere between 200,000 and 870,000, 876,000 to make sure that we pull all the driver's license from these guys who are on the road right now killing American citizens, sir. Yeah, so number one, we've got to revoke the license. I don't know if that takes an executive order. We need Duffy to tell us.
If he's going to say his hands are tied, well, tell us who's tying his hands and what we need to do to get the licenses revoked. He knows that they were issued illegally and these guys weren't properly trained. He's been very passionate about this. He's very engaged. I think Duffy wants to do the right thing. So we need to get him those tools.
The second thing is we need to hold the people responsible who are profiting from this. And that is the freight brokers. And so every accident that we've seen, including the crash of Delilah Coleman, a freight broker was involved in giving that load to the illegal alien. And so those same freight brokers right now are asking the Supreme Court for immunity from damages in these crashes.
And I believe that's outrageous. We need to make sure that we hold them accountable. If we hold them accountable, they'll stop putting them on the road. You know, one of the main reasons that we've never had this problem before in our trucking industry is because the American trucking industry tends to self-police itself because we have a federal agency that has failed miserably at its job.

Chapter 8: What actions can listeners take regarding the SAVE Act?
And I think based on what I'm hearing from you today, Steve, and from the audience and the posse, is that we need to try to explain in plain English what's happening over on the Senate floor. so people understand and I'll work to make that happen on my social media feed. What? No, it's fantastic because people want to make sure this is not as McCabe said, the president didn't give him an out.
He didn't give him an offering. He said, I want this and I want these other things added, which adds complexity. They need to be added, but we got to go back to house. But he's he doesn't want some sort of 24, 48 hour performative. Just get up there and talk. He wants real action. And that's why I think your center is going to be so important. Jenny Beth, I'll talk to you after the show.
Hopefully see you. This afternoon, we'll have more to report. Jenny Beth Martin, Tea Party Patriots. Thank you, ma'am. Short commercial break. We'll come back, I believe, to the White House next in the world. Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes in years? Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.
With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before. They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years. If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your home.
If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act. It's a question of when it will act.

May I thank you, President, for facilitating this visit and in what is for us probably one of the most important weeks in the United States. And in many ways, you're affirming
the tremendous bonds between Ireland and the United States that go back to the very foundation of this republic and 35 million people in this country claim Irish descent and Irish heritage and I spent the first two days in Philadelphia going back really into the heart of that history and the fact that three Irish people born on the island of Ireland signed the Declaration of Independence.
