What is the SAVE Act and why is it being pushed after the New Jersey voting error?

Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling 0:00

and everything else that goes on so make it too big to rig remember my statement too big to rig make it too big to rig and watch those machines we have to pass the save america act to defend american elections well you saw what happened they can't they caught thousands of votes in new jersey where illegal aliens were allowed to vote thousands and thousands of votes

To be very clear, that is a lie. Thousands of undocumented immigrants did not vote in New Jersey. Trump is exploiting a DMV software glitch in the state that led to about 400 non-citizens casting ballots. Governor Mikey Schell has made it clear those votes did not sway any race. And yet Trump is now lying about that error to pressure Congress to pass his voter suppression bill. And speaking of, House Republicans just slid voting restrictions into a bill that was supposed to focus on banning members of Congress from stock trading, something important. Y'all probably care about it. That bill is not expected to pass in the Senate.

With some new polling from Fox News, which shows which political party Americans trust more to handle key issues. And voters are saying that Democrats are doing a better job on income inequality, health care, inflation, the economy, and foreign policy. Republicans hold some advantages on crime and national security, although even there, it is closely divided. And get this, when it comes to immigration, the GOP had an eight-point edge just a few months ago. But today, Democrats are preferred. 76 percent, meanwhile, of those polled see the economy as only fair or even poor, while just 24 percent say it's excellent or good. Meanwhile, 68 percent of Democrats say they are extremely motivated to vote in November's midterms.

That's an 11-point edge on the percentage of Republicans who say the same.

I'm at this a little bit differently because I'm going to give the American people a great deal more credit writ large based off of both the arguments. I really believe the only people who are buying the BS coming out of Donald Trump's mouth right now are people who are in that small corner that's left in the room for Donald Trump to go hang out in. The vast majority of Americans have long since, certainly since 2021, but even more so in the last 18 months, come to the realization that this administration is not good for your political or economic health in this country. And I think that they I mean, that's borne out by the by the polling. The president had that kind of cachet that he could still convince American people to believe things like that.

I think his numbers would be higher. So my my my belief is that people are much more attuned to the lie around voting the lies around 2020 and i think that sets up well two things one the problem that republicans have going into this fall and to the opportunities democrats i'm still waiting on y'all to execute on to close the deal with the voters between now and november

It doesn't make any sense. There is an alternative. This is a badly structured deal that could lead Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium and create a nuclear bomb. Right next door to Saudi Arabia is a separate nuclear. It's a civilian nuclear program in the United Arab Emirates. It was a deal negotiated by the Biden administration. And the UAE has no way to enrich uranium. It's very simple. They get uranium. enriched uranium is delivered to their nuclear power plants from other countries. From Russia, some possibly could, I'm not sure if some comes from the United States or not, but that's a simple way to do this where there is no need for the UAE to have any way to enrich uranium, which if it could, it could lead to a bomb.

David Rohde 3:55

So why Would the Trump administration agree that Saudi Arabia, Prince Buzzsaw, as he's called, and that's a reference to the fact that MBS, you know, ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was dismembered. And given Saudi Arabia's... long record of human rights abuses and also they haven't been the closest ally in this war why make this deal why this does saudi arabia get this special treatment and one suggestion is that it has to do and maybe this isn't fair but that the saudi public investment fund invested two billion dollars in the president's son-in-law's firm that occurred soon after jared kushner left the first trump administration
